[Q] OTA updates failing

Anyone able to tell me how to get the OTA updates to work again?
Phone was originally rooted but deleted the root and also added teamwin recovery
Not sure what to do but notifications of the update are annoying me
Thanks in advance!

There's your problem.
You need stock recovery for OTAs not custom recoveries.

How do I remove it?

If you don't have a backup of your stock recovery on PC then you can download stock recovery from this thread
Extract the recovery to the folder where adb/fastboot is in, by default this will be in the platform-tools folder for the SDK kit.
Connect your device to the pc.
Hold shift and right click in window(tools folder) open command prompt - or open command prompt and change directory to location of fastboot/recovery.img (You should have done this before when you flash the custom recovery so you should know where the folder etc is).
Type: adb devices - check if device gets picked up, should show you your serial number for the device.
Type: adb reboot bootloader
Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Type: fastboot reboot
Done.
Stock recovery will then be on device again, it'll reboot and once done you should be able to install OTA update. :good:

Great many thanks

Alrighty, no problem! =oD

Just hooked phone up to computer and flashed new recovery, now showing as 1.54.401.10 - cheers for helping with update

[20.2.2015][Root and stay with stock recovery]

Hello Yu Yureka fans!!!
This for the Yu Yureka fans who want to root the phone but don't want to miss OTA update by flashing custom recovery
In this thread i will tell you how to ROOT your Yu Yureka without flashing custom recovery.
This method will not flash custom recovery over stock recovery, this will just boot the custom recovery once just to flash the superuser.zip. so you will be back to stock recovery after flashing superuser.zip.
So lets get started...
Your Bootloader should be UNLOCKED
Files you need:
1. adb and fastboot drivers
2. A CWM recovery link (don't worry we wont flash it, it is just needed to install superuser.zip)
3. Superuser.zip link (save this in your sd card or internal memory)
Note: Keep recovery.img file in the same folder where adb and Fastboot drivers are placed and always open command window from that folder.
Connect your phone to pc via data cable
Steps:
1. Open command window (cntl+shift+right click)
2. Type
Code:
adb devices
if your device is connected you will get it in connected devices
3. Type
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
4. Type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot recovery-yu.img
now your device will boot into recovery mode
5. Select install zip from sd and navigate where you have downloaded the superuser.zip and select install.
6. Done!!! Your device is rooted and you are still in stock recovery :good: you wont miss the OTA
To check if you are in stock recovery just reboot into recovery :good:
Hit thanks if this helped :good:

You can't boot the recovery image on locked bootloader; we have covered this fact already.

Thanks, will check. Although I downloaded the drivers just today, so not sure, how it is not up to date. Anyway, will check it once I am home in 3 hours.

tried resintalling the drivers. didn't help. command prompt still keeps on waiting for device forever, while phone is in fastboot mode.
Edit:
If I cancel the third command, and check the list again, phone is not listed. Somehow, after rebooting into bootloader, phone stops the adb connection.

i am on twrp recovery can i flash this recovery on that and update the new ota?
please help

Help rooting Huawei Watch

Hi,
I'm a noob trying to root my Huawei Watch (to be able to read BTLE messages). I used egalite_kernel_HW_dffc4c0-2.0 which should be rooted (and indeed I see su.sh and busybox.sh script in the /setup folder)
I did the following:
sudo adb reboot bootloader
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader
# Unzip TWRP_3.1.1.-0_Unofficial-Sturgeon.zip => recovery.img
sudo fastboot boot recovery.img
#In the phone, using TWRP, set to ADB sidleoad (wipe data and wipe cache)
sudo adb sideload negalite_kernel_HW_dffc4c0-2.0.zip
TWRP loaded fine and the rom installed fine to, but when opening the "Advanced Settings" it says that the phone is not rooted.
Any hint of what I did wrong?
Thanks

You keep saying your phone. Are you trying to root a phone or a watch? I'll assume you're talking about your watch.
adb sideload is for applying OTA updates. What you want to do is flash that zip.
While in TWRP, do the following:
sudo adb push [path to kernel zip] /sdcard
In the TWRP menu, select install. Navigate to /sdcard and select the zip. Install it.
If you can't get that working, just flash the supersuwear.zip I've attached to this post using TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...aw-1-5-build-m9e42c-to-downgrade-2-0-t3607859
Also, use the advanced wear settings from the play store. I've had issues with the one that negaman includes in his thread.

Yes! I just want to root the watch.
Thanks, for the reply. I'll try it and report back

I installed TWRP_3.1.1.-0_Unofficial-Sturgeon and then I tried to install negalite_kernel_HW_dffc4c0-2.0.zip
sudo adb push negalite_kernel_HW_dffc4c0-2.0.zip /sdcard
and Installed using TWRP.
Unfortunately I got the error below:
--
set_perm: some changes failed
Updaterrocess ended with ERROR:
Error installing zip failed
--
Trying to fix the problem I started wiping parts and I screw-up and delete the system. Wonderful.
I then tried to find ROMs and finally I found Huawei-Rom-NX-v2.7.zip and successfully installed (with Root)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...-negalite-huawei-rom-nx-root-bb-v1-6-t3406813
Unfortunately I find out I need a specific build NWD1.171016.002 (Stock ROM from December 2017).
Any idea were to find it?
Or shall I open a new thread?

Why do you need that? You're running a rooted rom, right? Wasn't that the goal?
If your goal is actually to be on a rooted rom AND be on the latest system software, I think it would probably be best to start from scratch since you've done so much flashing and I'm really not sure what state your watch is in at this point. This is how you do that:
1. Download this factory image: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120748838
2. Extract output.tar from that package. If you need software to do this, I recommend 7zip.
3. Extract the contents of output.tar.
4. Copy flash-all.sh, image-sturgeon-m6e69f.zip, flash-all.bat and bootloader-sturgeon-m6e69f.img to the same folder where you have installed fastboot.exe.
5. Boot your watch in bootloader mode (aka fastboot mode), connect it to the computer and double click on flash-all.bat. This will bring your watch to a 100% stock state.
6. Setup the watch and keep taking OTAs until you are on NWD1.171016.002 (there should only be 1 or 2 that you have to take).
7. Boot into bootloader mode and do one of the following steps:
If you want to keep the stock recovery menu and only use TWRP temporarily, perform the command fastboot boot [path to TWRP image].
If you want to have TWRP permanently installed on your watch, replacing the stock recovery menu, perform the command fastboot flash recovery [path to TWRP image]. Then select reboot to recovery in the bootloader menu.
8. Download the supersuwear.zip package that I linked to in my previous post.
9. While in TWRP, adb push [path to supersuwear.zip] /sdcard
10. Install supersuwear.zip using TWRP menu.
And there you go. Latest firmware version, rooted. Download advanced wear settings from the play store if you want it.

Youre the man.

Accidentally removed OS in OP3.

Hi all,
While trying to install custom mod i accidentally deleted my original rom as well as the custom rom from my phone. I can access twrp fast boot but while trying to install zip file its missing from phone. Any way to install any custom rom at this point?
Update : Restarted my phone ( well powered off coz of low battery) . When i charged and switched it on , twrp is not there . Instead when i go to recovery mode , the original one plus recovery mode is appearing.

Sideloading is the easiest option.
Boot into TWRP, find ADB Sideload mode (I think it's under "Advanced", not sure), connect phone to PC via USB cable and flash ROM directly from PC with "adb sideload rom-name" command.
This is a very short version, if you need me to explain anything in depth just say it

Sorry for late reply.
So, first things first, make sure you have working adb/fastboot on your PC (you can get it >>HERE<< if you need it; select Y for all options).
- download latest TWRP recovery >>HERE<<
- download a ROM of your choice
- in case you go for a custom ROM you'll probably also need latest firmware (CLICK), Gapps (CLICK) and possibly Magisk (CLICK)
- open command prompt in folder where you've put all downloaded files - hold Shift and right click in that folder > open command window here.
- boot phone into fastboot mode and connect it to PC
- type fastboot devices in cmd to see if the phone is properly recognized (should say something like "device #serial-number" IIRC)
- flash TWRP by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery-name.img
- reboot device into recovery mode. Fastboot generally doesn't support rebooting into recovery, but our phone makes it easy with that 5 second timeout on boot. Type fastboot reboot and as soon as it displays that warning screen press a volume button and then scroll to recovery with volumpe up/down.
You should be booted into TWRP now. Let's continue to flashing a ROM.
Assuming you're going for a custom ROM, start with firmware:
- select "Advanced" in TWRP
- select "ADB Sideload"
- swipe to start sideload
- type adb devices in cmd - it should recognize that the device is in sideload mode
- type adb sideload firmware.zip and wait for it to finish
- go back to main TWRP screen and repeat the steps to get into sideload mode
- type adb sideload rom-filename.zip
- repeat to flash Gapps and Magisk
If you chose to flash stock ROM rather than custom then you can skip firmware and Gapps and flash just the ROM (and possibly magisk, that's up to you).
Done! Now you can boot into system.

Oppo A83 [CPH1729] TWRP RECOVERY

⚠Warning: This is not official TWRP, use it at your own risk!!!
Data will be erased. Back up if neccessary
This device is kind of weird so to flash twrp you need these things:
1. Prepare materials​
Install driver so as to have access to preloader (Just install automatically and no need to do anything in device manager)
This software to access to preloader -> fastboot (fastboot is somehow not available via adb methods) Enter fastboot
This tool for flashing
2. Unlock bootloader (need testpoint, python, git (optional) - you can search on google)​
Use this tool - go to this section. Follow guides to unlock bootloader (remember to use testpoint not hardware buttons)
3. Enter fastboot mode​
Use latest MTK META Ultility tool
Select Reboot Fastboot Mode in BRom section
Hold volume down button. While holding connect it to your computer
*Now your phone is in fastboot mode​4. Flash​
Open platform-tools folder in Downloads folder
Shift + Right click then "open command window here"
Input these commands into cmd
fastboot flash boot drag twrp file to cmd
fastboot flash recovery drag twrp file to cmd.
fastboot reboot. Swipe to allow modification in twrp (to make sure that stockboot wont replace twrp). After that reboot to recovery to make it installed on your device permanently.
Now your recovery is ready to flash file you can push stock image file to your root folder using adb command: "adb push. Drag the stock image file. /" (Because Decryption right now doesnt work on my device yet)
Enjoy
*Sounds crazy but it is required to make sure twrp is installed correctly​*If successful, when you power on, you will get a red section on top of your device. If you want to recover to stock recovery, flash the recovery.img below.​*Also, if you want to make your own twrp, you can try recovery.img below.​
Also thanks SebaUbuntu and Mofadal El-Tayeb (مُفَضَّل) for awesome apps
