You might get a bootloop after flashing the SuperSU zip but that's about it. Only way to know is to test. To avoid any complications just make a backup with ClockworkMod so if you do get stuck you can jump back to stock again. You do not need root to make a backup.
Also, make sure your bootloader is unlocked before attempting to do any modifications.

Ok, i've got no ota update so i downloaded and put zip file on root sd card directory..
now, what should i do?
i don't know
thanks
It should update itself, when you check for updates, just go to settings, about, software update and do that from there, is should bring up a window saying that an update is ready ti be installed.

You should put the ota file in folder name Download, create it if does not exists. make sure OTA file you downloaded is for your phones CID.
I think you guys have no clue ! And if you are on stock rom and the ota didn't hit you.....its not out for you. Learn what you are doing ! You can't "just" go flash around like that !!!
Are you on stock rom ?
Are you on stock recovery ?
Are you on stock kernel ?
Hey guys. Im really new to this scene and i need some help.
now currently i have kitkat 4.4.2 and im trying to downgrade to 4.2 the latest stable version for huawei.
i have the update.app ready and its in dload folder already. but when i try to downgrade it says its in lock state or something....
when i try to root it says its failing....thats with vroot and eroot.
can someone please help me with this. i just want the latest stable firmware on it and enjoy google play after a year of hell.
hm..
eroot and vroot are sometimes not proper working..
twrp 2700 and 2800 are the best way to get root (98% sure)..
first of all you need to get all the device drivers on your pc (notnonly the hisuite drivers..search for lesscro on this forum..there you should find drivers concerning huawei)..
then you need adb&fastboot (different packages and names..searchengines should find it )..
then use the search for how to flash twrp..and when you are searching, the next search should be how to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.x
i think this helps you the best..
Hey so i was able to root it with root genius. now whats the next step? sorry if im annoying but i want to make ABSOLUTELY SURE i dont screw this up.
alright so i got twrp in and its been flashed. now the only thing is to downgrade my phone from 4.4.2 to 4.2
ok i cant seem to update the UPDATE.APP. i have it both on my sd card and my phone.
my recovery is back to stock and it fails on VERLIST.
I need help.
CRAP
ok im freakin out now....its hanging at the huawei ascend logo. help.
tried to reloaD boot.img now and it says partition does not exist
Before you go and do anything now, flash stock 4.4 recovery and boot img, after that search the forum for link of a middle step for downgrading to 4.2 and flash that thruogh stock recovery then try to install stock JB.

thanks....
but i still cant mount system and data. where can i get the 4.4 stock? sorry i went through hell today....i dont want any "bad" files...
i fixed the system/data errors. it was wipe > advanced wipe > JUST CLICK system. after that i went to format all data and it removed those errors...
but when i try to install the stock firmware(from huawei) for 4.2 it still says failed
"Error flashing zip '/external_sd/dload/firm.zip"
Updating partition details...Failed
REALLY need an answer here.....
last post for the night....
when i try to fastboot -w update my rom i get the 2 files missing android-info.txt and android-product.txt.
hopefully i get a few responses when i wake up.
Ok since you can actually boot into recovery is a good sign so try to wipe/reset anything you can from there and then try to flash some firmware, if that doesnt go try to flash a custom recovery like twrp and install a custom rom, that would give an idea where is the problem maybe and from there its easier to get back

"Error flashing zip '/external_sd/dload/firm.zip'
its when i use the twrp install function and with my stock firmware i got from the huawei site.

you are on twrp or stock recovery? it's not a problem if you don't have os installed.

would it help a great deal if i just made a video of it?

I was rooted and using CarbonROM.
All I did was follow this (step 1, no GPS fix) and ran a system update from the stock ROM and I was using Stock Lolipop

hello flash stock recovery using flashify then remove root within your superuser app itself. then you will able to update. Note that your rom needs to be untouched. hope you didn't modify anything else.
@Oel I have downloaded it... Where can I find the OTA file? I will upload it when I reach home
@Vivacity I have flashed busybox Flashable zip... Hope it doesn't count as any modification...BTW what type of modification r u talking about? Can u give some examples? My phone is S-ON and bootloader is unlocked does it make any difference?

for the busybox it does count but you can still try though. concerning s-on and bootloader it does not matter.

where was it stored?
Ah..there ist a firmware.zip in the OTA file. Did you try to install this firmware zip through bootloader renamed to 0PFJIMG.zip?
After installing the orig Recovery like Vivacity mentioned? Takeout it outof the the firmware.zip from the OTA.
Or try to install the complete OTA renamed to 0PFJIMG.zip, put it on your external sd card an flash it through bootloader.
It was stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/APP_FOTA
I would go for stock recovery and unroot
I had backed up my phone before flashing busybox... Can I restore that backup file and and then flash stock recovery and unroot?

That patch is glue for root. So, when You apply update, You loose root....
Do NOT apply it if everything work as expected.

got to unroot to be able to apply the update. and then re-root. but i'm very satisfied it fixed my battery problem, i get the same awesome battery life i was getting on kitkat long ago. PS: it's been 10 hours that my phone is idle and battery did not move even by 1%.
@Vivacity plz confirm again... I have to flash stock recovery and after that I have to unroot then I can install this update normally? Is that a right procedure?
i messed up my phone yesterday while restoring twrp backup it shows an error which says E:extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255, now my phone is stuck into recovery with no system or OS, i have wiped everything, one more thing i have another error which says E Unknown File System: 'datamedia'...... plz help
Wel I have friend with a problem.. he has OP3 A3000..
He was on Beta7.. as everyone he wanted to update for beta8.. using stock recovery tried to flash it but it failed.. reflashed twrp and wanted to flash beta7 failed again.. tried 3.2.6 failed.. the only rom was able to be flashed is H2OS.. and 3.1.2 using unbrick tool..
Attempt tried:
- stock recovery
- TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-19/28)
- unlocked bootloader
- locked bootloader (even OTA with locked bootloader have failed)
So any suggestions would be welcomed.. and thanks in advance...
-UPDTE-
Using unbrick tool flashed 3.1.2 and then locked the bootloader and received the latest OTA update.. update and now on 3.2.8..
Tried to unlock bootloader again and flash any ROM including FreedomOOS but still failed.. so stuck with official updates..

Ok, run the unbrock tool again.
After that, upgrade via twrp to 3.2.4 first to be safe.
And do not forget to mount system read-only!
You can do this in mount settings of twrp.
Otherwise it will gives you a error.

I'll let him try this.. so he can't use 3.2.6 because of the different firmware I guess.. right?

No no, only to be sure, that it is working.
You can try 3.2.4 if 3.2.6 is not working
and do not forget system read-only.
