I rooted my Mytouch slide this afternoon and loaded another ROM which I decided I didn't like. So, I went back to stock, but its an earlier version than what I had before I rooted. There's are updates on this forum for the most recent OTA update. However, I get a signature error when I goto load it.
I boot into recovery by going holding Vol Down + power, the phone then reads the files on my SDCARD. After that, I go down and select "Recovery" and I goto the screen with the Red Triangle.
I then hit Vol up + Power and load the next screen, I select "Apply Update: update.zip" or whatever it says and I always get a signature error, I have tried the file form 3 different sources with the same result, surely someone has experienced this and can help me. Im using Simple Mobile so I dont think that I will get the OTA request so I need to find a way to get this OTA loaded unless there is a nandroid backup with these updates already in it.
Please help me, Ive read every possible thread on this site without any results.
Firstly you doin it wrong did you flash the eng build? if you are no longer rooted

I went back and went through the root process again, I can tell by the prompt that im rooted. I just cant get the updates applied to update my mytouch slide to the newest radio and system update. I get signature errors on both files. Surely someone on here has had a similar issue.
Any ideas?????
what is it that you want? are you using clockwork? and getting errors whn trying to get in to clockwork? if you havent flashed the ENG build you have to push ota.zip and update.zip EVERY TIME you try and get into clockwork

Im running the stock Tmobile Rom version 1.18.531.1.
I want to update the phone to 1.35.531 and make the sure the radio is updated to 7.09.35.10. Both the newest versions of stock.
I have downloaded the ~25MB update from here but I get a signature error everytime I try and run the update. To run it, Im booting with Vol Down + Power, then to "Recovery" and when the screen comes up with the Red Triangle, (Vol Up + Power). Then I select "Update.zip" but it fails on the signature verification.
Thats exactly what Im doing, am I missing something?

A little update
Ok,
I have a little update and Im hoping someone can put me on the right track from here. I flashed the stock ROM located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713507
My version is now up to 1.26.531.1 and my radio is still at 7.08.35.04S
When I put the full ~25MB update to 1.35.531 on my sdcard as update.zip I go into Recovery and select the update.zip. Now I get past the signature but it errors out with the following error:
"E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7) and the installation aborts. Ive seen other people with similar errors but haven't seen a resolution. Any ideas?
Before you can apple the update file that is like 27mb you have to apply this FIRST http://db.androidspin.com/androidspin_developer_display.asp?developerid=63#280

Do downloads work from there site? The site works but all download links take me to a error page.
Hi,
I searched the forum but I couldn't find a similar problem, so Please I need some help.
Last week I got the new update 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Nexus gsm, so I went and installed it.
During installation when the device turned off and it was unpacking the update or even a little bit before that, I got a message which I really don't remember very much and didn't understand but i think it was from rom manager asking something maybe about flashing or something similar.
I remember as well, that it said that the action cannot be undone! and since I didn't understand very well what it was asking me, i chose something which seemed to me the safest at the time.
Which means, if it asked me to install something, I chose not to since it can't be undone.
I know I'm not giving as much information as i should but this is what happened.
After the installation was finished, I downloaded root checker to find if i had lost my root or not and it took awfully long time for the app to tell me that my device is rooted.
So, everything was okay and apps which needed root access were getting it from superuser app.
Today I decided to backup my rom so I opened rom manager premium and I was not able to backup the rom or even restart in recovery mode, so i uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I was getting always error that it was not granted superuser access.
So, i figured out that the problem is specifically with the rom manager because other app which needs root access were always getting it, so I went to titanium backup and rebooted through the app into recovery mode and it did but all i got is that black screen with the android icon in the middle having a red triangle on top. I had to take the battery off to restart the phone.
I tried again to reboot into recovery mode using the power and the volume button but I was unable to.
So, I'm asking whats the problem?
Am I still rooted? and how can i fix this problem?
I was thinking of using the nexus kit but I can't reboot in recovery mode at all so I guess it won't be much of a help.
I'm very sorry for the LONG question.
Thanks Guys

Yeah, Galaxy nexus toolkit will work fine. You can also download the recovery (it is a .img file) and flash it manually through fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img)
My phone is running the BOG5 5.0.1 software and it is a retail edition.
I recieved a notification on my device prompting me that a new update is available (finally! 5.1.1!) I tap "download now", the download eventually finishes and it proceeds to install.
My phone boots into recovery, "installing update" and very shortly after I see the droid triage error and below it says "error!" and then my phone reboots. When I unlock my phone it says, "Sorry, there was a problem updating your SAMSUNG SM-N910V. No changes were made."
I looked under software update in settings and it says "software not updated to N910VVRU2BOK3" and the error code is 410.
I also notice that when I go into recovery it says "dm-verity verification failed...."
I looked in Kies to see if the update was available there, and of course it wasn't. And I can't find the ROM anywhere as of yet to flash with ODIN.
I would appreciate all of the help I can get.
Thank you.

I'm having the exact same issue and symptoms, have you made any progress with this? If I find a solution I'll share here too. I've tried Kies and VZW Software Upgrade Assistant, neither finds the update, but I can get it on my retail VZ Note 4, just won't successfully install.

Thank you for your feedback. I wonder if it has to do with a corrupt software build on our devices. I ordered my phone in November of last year and it came with BOG5 on it. I'm going to see about flashing stock BOG5 completely fresh on the phone and see if that corrects the issue.

Sounds like something worth trying, I'll watch for an update on how it goes for you. Thanks!
I have found a solution (albeit requires a full wipe, which is worth having 5.1.1 for me)
Firstly, I attempted flashing the "stock restore" file in odin and resulted in an error, I then tried the full firmware instead (mind you for BOG5, if you're having problems on your current version I'd suggest using your current build) with success, proceed with a data wipe in recovery and noticed that the "dm-verity verification failed...." message is now gone and now that bottom area of the screen has information about applying Multi-CSC.
Restart the phone, set up as normal and go straight for the software update. My phone downloaded and installed the update perfectly! For safety just boot into recovery and do a full wipe again, and there you have it!

Thank you for reporting back with what worked for you. I've tried following the same steps you took, but after flashing the full BOG5 firmware and doing a data wipe and then doing basic setup on my phone, the OTA is still failing, Error Code: 404. I'll try again, but so far no success. Still stuck on the buggy 5.0.1, the version where you can't flash back to 4.4.4....

I am sorry to hear that this didn't work for you. But it appears we're both getting different error codes. Does your recovery display issues with dm-verity failing? I think this was part of my problem in the first place.

You're right, I thought I had seen that message earlier in the week while trying to get the OTA for 5.1.1 to work, but I didn't write it down. Your description of symptoms matched mine so well I figured it had to be the same issue or something so similar that running through the same process would work for me too.
I may take the phone into Verizon to show them the update fail and see if they are willing to do anything for me....
Glad you got yours up and running, but I am just a little bit jealous

I've found that most times the OTA update fails prior to rebooting to install the update and I get the 404 error I reported earlier. However, when it does make it to the point of doing the OTA update after reboot, after that fails, I get the same 410 error you reported, see attached, and I also the dm-verity fail message in recovery. Then after using Odin to install BOG5, the verity fail disappears, replaced by a Multi-CSC message, I do a complete data wipe/factory reset, set up my basic google account and try the OTA, which fails every time. But once the dm-verity fail is gone, I can try doing an update from external storage, which I've tried with the BOK3 5.1.1 zip file posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...id-5-1-1-according-to-website-t3290683/page20 However, this still fails to load.
At this point I'm pretty convinced that I some other issue with my phone. I found elsewhere that someone was able to take their phone into Best Buy and have them flash the 5.1.1 update for them via Kies. That is probably my next step.
But I wanted to share what I've tried in case anyone else is experiencing the same dead end or in the off chance that someone has found a solution.
Sure would love to see the full 5.1.1 BOK3 tar.md5 sometime before Marshmallow hits, pretty sure using Odin to install the update that way would work....

Just wanted to update this post with the solution which finally worked for me.
Official updates for our M2 tablet,
although having installed another
recovery and root access, already.​
- Disclaimer
Well, whatever you do with this guide is all up to you and in your own responsibility. You
should have basic knowledge about ADB and flashing, which is explained in many other
threads here on our beloved XDA.
- Issue
When you used this guide (https://goo.gl/r04XjJ) or any other one to give your M2 tablet
another recovery and therefore root rights, you have now the problem, that EMUI will show
you new updates, but you are not able to install them, because of the missing stock recovery,
of course.
- Solution
So, you have to flash back the original stock recovery, getting the official update and then you
can flash back your TWRP recovery.
- Guide
1. You should start your EMUI update programme/app and start the download of your update.
When it is finished, it will ask you to reboot into recovery and install automatically. As you have
no stock recovery I strongly advise not to do so. Usually nothing happens, but there is one case
reported, where it somehow ****ed up the guy's tablet. I am not sure, if that story is true, but
well, I have warned you.
2. Just turn your tablet off after you have finished downloading the update (it will wait now in
the directory "HwOUC" on your tablet and it is called "update.zip" - just let it sleep there).
3. Start the tablet in the fastboot recovery mode, meaning plugging in the USB cable (connected
to the computer) and hold the buttons "power" and "volume down", immediately, until a white
screen appears, which is the fastboot recovery screen. It should tell you, it has the bootloader
unlocked, which is normal, because you did that earlier on with any of the other guides (see above).
4. Copy the downloaded stock recovery of your choice to your ADB directory. In my case this is
"c:\ADB", but this depends on your way of installation.
5. Now open up a command line in Windows (with Windows key + R) and type "cmd") and go to
your ADB directory, using commands like "cd .." and "cd adb".
6. When having arrived in the ADB directory, you have to enter these commands one after the other:
fastboot flash recovery stock-recovery.img
fastboot reboot
If you renamed the recovery file, then you have to consider that in the command, of course.
7. The device will reboot directly into the recovery, because it "sees" the update in the update
directory et voila ... you are getting your awaited update. Sometimes it will boot not into the EMUI
recovery directly, but then you hast have to start the tablet normally, open up the EMUI app and
download the update again and do the OTA update properly with the reboot it tells you to do,
when it is finished.
8. Okay, now you have received your update, but if you want to have back your TWRP, you just
have to turn off your tablet and boot into the fastboot recovery again (see 3.).
9. You have to copy your TWRP recovery to your ADB directory (in my case "twrp.img" in "c:\ADB").
10. Now open up a command line in Windows (with Windows key + R and type "cmd") and go to
your ADB directory, using commands like "cd .." and "cd adb".
11. When having arrived in the ADB directory, you have to enter these commands one after the other:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
12. The tablet will reboot and you are back to a working lovely updated M2 tablet.
- Root:
If you want to have root rights, I strongly recommend flashing Magisk within TWRP, because it is
just a nice and more modern approach to having root. It works very fine on my M2 10 tablet. The
link for the files and guide is here:
https://goo.gl/UXYk4d
It is very easy. You just flash Magisk 12 in TWRP and then install the Magisk Manager app from the
Play store.
- Files for M2-802L and M2-A01L:
https://ufile.io/0df492 (all four recoveries here)
https://files.fm/u/aajdmadr (all four recoveries here)
https://www.file-upload.net/download-12438839/HuaweiM2recoveries.rar.html (all four recoveries here)
Have fun with your updated tablet. ... and I am happy, if I could help you - any coffee appreciated.

Additionally, I can offer you the updates B007 and B010 (most current one) for the
M2 10 LTE (M2-A01L), because I managed to save them/back them up. These are the
European versions of B007 and B010 with all language files, I believe.
So, who is having a M2-A01L and is still sitting on B006 or B007, might try a manual
update, which is as easy as pie. It is just one simple step.
Also, an update from B009 to B010 might be possible.
Of course, I cannot give any guarantee for Huawei's update files, which you will
understand, I guess.

I'd greatly appreciate it, if you could share. Got the problem that my A-01L got corrupted. The only official ROM I've been able to find has been B005 what is somewhat old. As it seems to be a pre-release version the tablet doesn't find any updates. Thus I'd like to try to upgrade to B007, or even B010 manually when I'm back home. Currently I'm on a weekend trip as friends of mine are going to marry tomorrow. Thus I'd be able to download them on Sunday evening if you'd provide them.

I have Magisk running on several devices, including the M2-A01L, but I must admit,
I never got the Safetynet passed, even with Magisk hide enabled.
I just use it as systemless root and with systemless Xposed, which is great.

After enabling magisk hide, you have to reboot your device. Got the 801L working with that and safetynet passes.
Noob Question on recovery files
Hi, and thanks for a incredible well detailed guide for updating. Came here because I haven't found any good recovery files for the wifi model. I've been trying (unsuccessfully may I add...) to install TWRP and magisk. So, my question is: can the recovery files for the LTE model be used on the wifi model? (M2-A01w). Thanks for your help!

Sorry, I have been on vacation.
To be honest, I am not sure, if the recovery for M2-A01L works on M2-A01w, too, but you can just try it.
I think, there should not be that big a problem, because the recovery has nothing to do with Wi-Fi or LTE, at all. It is just important, that partition tables and drives are accessible the same way and well, I really think, there is not much difference in between the M2 10 models.
From M2 8 to 10 there is a difference, of course. That is why I uploaded both recoveries (for 802L and A01L).
Just use that guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m2/how-to/guide-unlock-bootlader-twrp-root-huawei-t3322340) without the SuperSU flashing and my recoveries in this guide.
Hi guys,
I need help, I have a M2 10 LTE previously modded with TWRP for root and I've just followed this guide to update from 007 to 010 version.
So I've flashed the stock-recovery, rebooted the tablet, requested the firmware update (I don't know if I got any error during the process) and the tablet has rebooted. Now it's stuck on HUAWEI logo..
I use this tablet for work so I really need to recover it asap.
Please help.

Could upload the B010 fullstock ROM/firmware. Thus you could reset the device to the latest stock ROM using the /dload method and gain a factory rested Huawei, as if out of the box. Just quote me if you'd want me to upload and I'll share the link asap. Took that way myself as soon as I found the full stock ROM.

Can you please help me out? do you have any idea what ican do to get back to W version?
Thanks!
I'm not the kind of person to ask for help if the answer to my problem might be out there already. I've followed relevant threads. I've searched XDA and googled. I've tried some things. I'm stuck.
I have an unlocked bootloader and FRP. When I go into Settings, OEM unlocking is greyed out. (Yes, I can use the phone.)
I do not have TWRP (anymore). I flashed stock recoveries.
I'm on build B101 and System Update is prompting my to update to B130. I can download it and, when prompted, reboot into recovery to update automatically.
I get to 100% and get the following error:
Software install failed!
Failed to check the update files.
Please download the package again.
Reboot system now
(See screenshot attached)
Now that it's available in Firmware Finder, I attempted to load B150 as well. Same thing.
I tried relocking bootloader, but it immediately prompts me to factory reset. After doing that, I get to reboot into recovery by default, other recovery by pressing the buttons, or fastboot via my PC.
Now, since we STILL don't have full firmware (supposed to have gotten it Friday, right?) I'm reluctant to use the images from here, especially if I'm not sure that would actually fix my issue.
What is going on with my software update? How do I fix this?
Did they actually release the BND-L24 firmware and no one noted it here?
Help, please!
Thanks.

I'm not certain why that happens, But I have a guess.
On each update that I have looked at, the recovery gets and update too. So different signatures and such.
Maybe the "stock" recovery you have re-flashed, is not correct version for your installed and update rom.
I cannot confirm this as I am missing the update app.
If you could help me with my missing files , I could help you with your update problem.
You could help me by pulling a list of packages installed so I can see what apps I have missing, and hopefully get them back (stock only, preferably done after a fresh factory reset.)
Directions for this on this thread.

thank you that helps.
I see I am missing an entire folder.
/data/hw_init
Could you see if it is accessible .
Code:
mkdir %userprofile%\Desktop\hw_init
adb pull /data/hw_init %userprofile%\Desktop\hw_init
I think it is not permitted though.
Uploaded. See referenced thread. I hope it helps!

I will see what I can do with that. And hopefully can get past any file verification. And if I figure that out it should help you too.
Or , with my luck, the moment I figure it out , the stock firmware will come out.
I pushed the hw_init folder to /data while in twrp, then put stock recovery back(the version I expect should be correct) and I got same update failed error, as the OP.
That tells me maybe is probably some other reason , besides the version of stock recovery is causing this trouble.
Not sure if there is confirmation of successful update while bootloader is unlocked or not. Too late for me to try tonight, but next I will re-lock bootloader and try again.
My last (really current) phone needed to be re-locked in order to take updates.
**UPDATE**
re-locking bootloader did not help any at all. I still have error failed to check file, please download again.
On the manual update to oreo thread, they are using a "stock-ish" recovery named "no-check"
I am thinking I might flash that recovery to try and force this update to install.
BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img? Is that region-specific? Will it work with the BND-L24?

I have ordered a second 7x. I plan to pull the hw_init folder , and the remainder of /data that might be missing from this device , because of a result of formating it in twrp. I plan to restore that as an image, in hopes of getting updater to complete properly. And if that works, you will be able to use my backup and update your phone too.
If not , well , doesn't hurt to try.
I'm comparing the images pulled from my device and the images available for the Indian "return to stock thread. And I see the problem with the USA L24 version.
The cust.img for usa has no app folder.
It did not make sense to me before why there was apps only installed in /data. Because /data should be able to be fully wiped and your system will recreate the file structure. But The apps should have been on one of the images.
My second phone arrived today. I pulled the hw_init folder from it.
did a diff comparison on the updater app from the new phone and and the one that I had to apply patches to , to bring it up from b101 to b140. The result was 100% same.
and three more apps where in the hw_init folder as well. (bloat apps really)
now the bad news.
My original phone (the one that I had formatted /data on). Now has the same /data/hw_init folder as the brand new device. But always shows no update available.--It showed update once, the first time checked, install failed , now shows nothing available.
And the new phone does show an update available (B150) , but fails to install. Then after the failed install, now it shows no update available.
That's insane.
So... in summary, neither will update? Neither the original nor the unaltered brand-new device?
If anyone else has had this issue but has since resolved it, would you mind letting us know how? @mrmazak is working on it and I've also been told by the FUT team that I should expect some kind of communication from "Oscar Felix."
(If you've searched the forums for other Honor or Huawei devices, you probably already know that there is some speculation about whether or not Oscar Felix is a real person.)
I have the same problem but I'm stuck on update b140 and I can't even get the face unlock feature update. I was rooted with twrp recovery but now I have reinstalled the stock recovery and removed root

Did you get the Oreo update today?
No I didn't, did you find out what can we do about this?
Is it a way I can update my phone manually
I'm watching this thread , myself. That might be the key.
Hopefully something comes up soon or is there a rom I can get if I reroot my phone?
