Can't update to B512

Hey guys. I was on Kitkat Beta CN with TWRP. I wanted to update to B512 so I reverted to the original recovery B506CN recovery (downloaded it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709353)
Once I pressed local update the phone reboots but I get the following error message:
Huawei SD card update fail.....
The update is /dload/update.app
Why do I get this error message and how to fix it in order to update to B512

try one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/help/p6-u06-common-issues-fixes-t2843810#post54736765 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/development/diy-rom-b510-based-add-want-t2843511

Tried many different combinations and nothing helped seems this problem is binded to my SD card. I tried different recovery versions and tried to update when I had 3 different roms. It seems I can't update with the stock recovery no matter what I do. I tried doing that in the internal storage but still the same mistake? Why should it access the SD card for an update in the internal storage?

When I enter recovery manually (without going at update section in settings) I see at first screen this message and I have to restart to enter at the recovery
ro.build.version.release = 4.4.2
ro.product.name = VEDGE
Current build version release is not 4.2 - don't need move.
USB Update Enter...
HUAWEI SDCARD&USB UPDATE AGENT VERSION 2.0
This phone is secureboot phone.
This phone is unlock state
Do you also see it or is this a clue?

You should unplug your device from usb and then reboot to recovery because u can read there "USB Update Enter" that means your device is pluged to a pc

Have you tried using the file to downgrade back to Jelly bean from KitKat?
https://mega.co.nz/#!8kcVADpB!JKeDlX4WQhmAP3mclNTfIzIjVllw5sMhnrj-3KSpSc4
Download the file, and place the dload folder onto your sd card, and do a local update as usual. When that is done, your phone will reboot normally. Just replace the dload folder with the one from B512, and try updating again. If it still doesn't work, I'd suggest doing a forced update using the 3-button method (power button & volume keys).

dl this first http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973625
extract it's file in your adb dir
You also could try this > run cmd on your pc >use
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "full name of the file extracted from the downloaded file inc it's extension"
fastboot reboot
then you could try flashing again

I tried and this recovery causes a constant vibrating when in recovery mode, apart from that I still get the same errors.
My only fast and easy solution would be if someone uploaded a B512 repack for TWRP. That would be awesome, right now I just use the B513 repack. I don't think I can find the fix to this any more.

Try extracting the recovery.img from the update that was downloaded in your download folder (you should be very quick in transferring the update to your known location as soon as it was downloaded or otherwise it will gets deleted the moment it found that your recovery was modified) and install the stock recovery. After that try re-downloading the update and this time it should work.
Recovery.img file can be found in the framework folder of the update. @jithumon is the guy who was successful in updating the OTA after his device was rooted and bootloader unlocked. Better, checking with him if the above method doesn't work for you.
Dont forget to hit thanks if the above solution helped.

my friend,
thank you but could you advice please where i can find the file exactly ?and if i can copy to external sd card and download it from recovery it will success?

After the update gets downloaded, you can find it in the internal or external sd card within the download folder. You have to connect it to the computer access both download folders on computer and see where it is getting downloaded when you hit update. Just after finished download, try copying the update file and copy it on your computer. Then you can extract the recovery. Just a few seconds delay in copying will delete the file from your sdcard. So careful and act quickly.

You cant sideload a zip file. You need to sideload the pre-rooted image then update to go back to stock...

My Asus zenfone 2 ze551mi was on CN firmware before . I decided to flash the pre-rooted system img on this website and ended up with WW firmware , i followed the instructions by downloading the OTA and then i put it in the root of the phone storage , but it starts update and end up with an error. i just want to have a non rooted and stock ww firmware on the device . is there a way out?

I also have a CN version flashed to WW.
I erased the boot image, recovery and system images using ADB then replaced them with WW version. I installed the pre-root img. for the sysem then updated. Once you update it will remove root for you, unless you find the latest pre-root files and ADB sideload that.
I believe the latest WW firmware is 2.15.40.13...
Cheers...

zenfone 2 flashing
i have this problem too. may i know how to flash the firmware? anyone know?

Have you tried an alternative method of "firmware flashing" using a MicroSD card?

I know this is a long past due thread never seeing a presentable solution and possibly not even needing one anymore, but I came across it and thought I might add to it if I can, in the event that it's found by someone else having a similar issue.
Rather than attempting to flash using adb/fastboot or using the command window or placing the update in the internal storage of the device for that matter; to apply the update try using this alternative method:
First rename the firmware zip file to the following:
MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip - No need for version numbers, world codes, region codes, etc.
Then, load the newly renamed .zip file onto a microSD card (again, not internal memory, but external) and then boot the Zenfone the same way you would when trying to get into recovery. The system should automatically recognize the .zip and on it's own, begin applying the update WITHOUTthe need of being connected to a computer. It's, in a way that's oversimplified and not to be taken literally, essentially tricking the system into thinking it's an OEM applied update and allows extraction and execution/flashing of the zip file more freely then say, through fastboot without properly set permissions and needing to be a .img file specified to a partition table address.
Hope this helps or somehow makes its way back a couple of years to the you who needed it xD If it doesn't, then simply DON'T hit the Thanks button and let me know what happens instead and I'll try to better assist you.

[Q] [q] how to manually flash ota update

hello every one,i have desire 816 w (a5 dug j__15)
the problem is that i have downloaded ota official android update( 5.0.2) but because of having custom recovery,i couldnt use it,i simply copy the zip file to pc then flashed the stock recovery and put the update zip file back to download folder(where it has been before) on phone storage,then rebooted the phone,but it does not find update and when i check for new software update it says you have to download it,(it is already placed on download folder on phone storage)what should i do to not to download 839MB again?
i also tried updating from stock recovery but it says failed to map file
i flashed twrp and tried installing zip but it has error too,i'm really confused
thanks

That's easy you need a handy file manager on your phone (I personally use ES file explorer); put the complete OTA.zip somewhere else first. then hit download update, after a couple of minutes turn off your Wifi and mobile data, the download will be paused. now simply delete the small file in your file manager and replace it with your own complete file (names will naturally be the same, so no problem there). then turn on your internet again, it will recognize the file and proceed with update without further download.

LG G4 VS986 QH-USB QD Loader 9008_HELP!

Bought refurbished LG G4 ( Did nt knew earlier)
ROM - H81510C -

No, I don`t have

Did you try LGUP software to reflash a VS986 KDZ?

Thanks
Can u send me the link for procedure

whats the current state of your device?
-> can you boot into Android?
-> can you boot into Download mode?
.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B41...ew?usp=sharing Extract folder / Move folder into QFIL folder as a folder not as individual files / load the firehoseprogrammer, patch, & raw / Flash / Remove battery / insert battery / hold volume up and plug in at same time until "download mode" appears on device / wait for drivers to install ? flash vs98627C.kdz with LGUP.
This will only work if the device bricked on 27C or earlier. If you know what FW version you bricked on the extract that FW and replace the appropriate files in the recovery image folder.
