I got a ZF3 Deluxe from Italy, is TIM branded, and stuck on MM 6.0, no updated released for this brand, so a friend of mine told me there is of course android 7 for ZF3Deluxe, so i wanted to manually upgrade system to 7.0 Nougat, i downloaded the Stock ROM from asus (2.15ghz cpu, i've checked of course) but when i try to flash it from the Stock Recovery i get this error (see the attachment) i also attach the software informations, (looking at the error i receive it may see the archive is corrupted, but i've tried to download it from Asus many and many times)
You have a carrier rom on your phone and the international version fails the upgrade check.
If you could get your bootloader unlocked that would be a way around it but you need to upgrade to a certain rom version to do that and the carrier hasn't supplied that rom...
You're essentially screwed until the carrier either releases the bootloader unlockable rom or upgrades the rom to nougat...

You should try to flash stock recovery of WW in fastboot.
And then flash 6.0 WW rom by WW recovery.
Even though ,I didn't sure that if it will work(because I don't have Z016S),but you can try it.

Install : ADB & Minimal Fastboot.
Install : pyton 3.6 https://www.python.org/downloads/

Download "Dat to img by stupdroid.com" (search it with google).

Open the Firmware ZIP and copy system.new.dat, system.transfer.list e file_contexts in the Dat2IMG's folder.
Execute system.new.dat 2 flashable img converter.exe and just press ENTER and wait till the end of procedure, you will receive 2 files : system.raw.img e system.new.img.
Copy system.new.img in your Fastboot's folder.
Put the Phone into Fastboot mode.

I forgot to say, after this procedure, just flash the stock WW recovery via Fastboot, then download from asus the lastest 7.0 firmware SKU WW, all perfect. tested by me.
Ok I already have system.new.img, I copied it to the root folder of the SD. Device restart in Fastboot mode (power + vol.up key). Exit screen with message Fastboot mode and does nothing.
Install in the computer the pyton 3.6, I suppose that it serves for the process of generating system.new.img.
I do not know how to do the first step "Install: ADB & Minimal Fastboot.".
Thank you and forgive my translator

Reboot and it works, but I do not know how to get into recovery.
I have also installed the Z016-WW-4.11.40.1085_recovery.img. The TIM DISAPPEARED
Then I copied the UL-Z016-WW-5.14.44.1898-user.zip into the internal memory and it does not install well.
I have proven the same with UL-Z016-WW-5.14.44.1898-user.zip and it does not work me it stays in a non-comands and will not boot.
greetings and thanks
P.S. At least you do not see the TIM anywhere.

Tow solution you can try
1.install the rom of 4.12.40.1698 again(some of tile,such as xbl,devcfg,devcfgbak..... may be still TIM versio.install it in recovery may turn it into WW version)
2.If fail, try flash these files in fastboot.(I will upload these files for you to flash,also you can draw by yourself)
Ok already worked, the solution is to unlock as you put in # 11.
Thank you

:crying:Last night, I installed the Android 8 update package on the forum.
Halfway through, an error is displayed and then exit.
I tried eRecovery and Hisuite, but all failed.
I tried it and found that the original recovery partition became recovery_ramdisk. It looks like the partition has changed.
What can I do to be able to return to emui5?
I have imagined "fastboot flashall", but I do not know how? Forgive my lame English

recovery_ramdisk. is the new name of recovery partition. EMUI8/Oreo flashing has started means the partitions etc have changed already so right now you can't go back to EMUI 5 as rollback images are not available yet. You can try to flash again properly with proper download for your specific model. I guess you are missing some echo commands.
thank you very much

Ok, that does not seem too bad, yet.
I suppose you are using system.img downloaded from web.
That image has given many that same error.
Best to use your system.img.
And the error flashing twrp, is common when using the nougat command or nougat recovery on Oreo.
Solutions.
Find your firmware on pro-teammt
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=Bnd-&firmware_page=0
Then download update.zip
Extract files.
Get hauwei update extractor.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw0xkKEyI85nY9x4Fjr1AWJl
Extract the system.img
Then fastboot flash it.
Recovery:
Oreo command== fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_ramdisk
Twrp name depends on version used. I use build 4 from here

Just made updates to guide last night. I think it is worded simple now.
Download my update "package" from step E
Extract it to a folder on your PC.
You are on emui8, so copy the HWOTA folder from the extracted zip to your sdcard
Also put hwota-update-7-8-auto.zip on sdcard.
Put the three (3) update files from pro-teammt.ru in the HWOTA8 folder on your sdcard
Put card into phone
Boot into twrp
Select install
Choose sdcard as source
Install hwota-update-7-8-auto.zip

Usually means you have other adb also , probably from other tool.

Hi all. I am trying to recover content from a MediaTab T5 with a Damaged screen (no picture). I've managed to install these recoveries and reboot into them. However none of them provide an adb interface for shell access, only a virtual usb cd rom drive appears. How can I obtain recovery adb access? I need to enable USB debugging and push adbkey...
Anyone have any clues how I can work around this please. Is patched boot img the only way forward?
OK good news I Successfully booted into recovery and have adb access. I think the key was to power on with vol+, but WITHOUT the USB cable attached. If USB cable is attached then it tries to boot to system regardless

I'm not sure I fully understand your question :
- go back to stock from custom ROM?
- what full FW do you have?

yes that's my question.
the one I have is
"Huawei P20 Lite ANE-L21 Anne-L21 8.0.0.144(C185) Firmware Android 8.0.0 EMUI 8.0.0"
I know this works because I used it to downgrade.

Yes, you can revert to stock flashing this Service ROM , if yot are running EMUI 8. For EMUI 9.1 use Service ROM 9.1.0. This process will erase all your data and lock the BL again!
Or, simply flash SYSTEM.img extracted from Service ROM using Huawei
update extractor. This procedure will not erase your data ,bootloader remains unlocked etc.
Hey Alf,
Were you able to flash any of the recoveries over the erecovery?
The 3.2.1-0 GAGUGA Edition has a built in option but it didn't work for me, no failures but when I hold down vol + I still get erecovery. I tried flashing 3.4.0-0-emui9_eR by @S_mak to erecovery_ramdisk but got a command not allowed.
PRA-LX1 on a C432 base, got CAOS11 system and Magisk in recovery. Since the recovery partition is occupied by Magisk having TWRP on erecovery would be ideal.
Thank you for your posts, they've been useful.

flash TWRP , run command
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk (TWRP's_name).img
(Since A8 and above you can not install TWRP over eRecovery from fastboot, only from TWRP),
- Copy TWRP file to the SD card, and also copy to card Stock Recovery_ramdisk.
- Enter TWRP, select storage - SD Card, select "Install image", find TWRP file and mark eRecovery, swipe.
- Go back, find Stock recovery_ramdisk file, (or magisk-patched recovery_ramdisk on EMUI 9) , mark Recovery, swipe. Reboot system.
P.S.: as far as i know the PRA-LX1 hasn't received an upgrade to Pie (correct me if I'm wrong) , so i don't understand

I got it wrong, it's a ANE-LX3! Mixed up with my other phone, sorry. In principle that method works, thank you. I didn't get to actually test it because it seems the Magisk recovery overrides the boot procedure so it always boots to recovery automatically.
Handy but I can't boot into the erecovery with the button combo now.
P.S.: I'm having issues with audio device switching. If I get a phone call with headphones inserted it routes to the speaker and I can't change it. If I remove the headphones then the mic doesn't work. I also have a bit inconsistent connection over bluetooth, sometimes it is connected but still plays over the speakers. I have the Huawei switch method enabled in the phh options. Did you experience this?
Im trying to root my device by patching boot.img , but the issue is when i download 12.5.3.0 firmware its only 130mb zip file and it dosent contain boot.img, is there a place where i can download entire 12.5.3.0 rom so i can get boot.img ?
Also another question , im doing this because apparently ill still get OTA updates afterwards , is that true ?

Updates work different for every other phone but its possible
here is a guide: by topjohmwu of magisk
Patching Images
If your device has boot ramdisk, you need a copy of the boot.img
If your device does NOT have boot ramdisk, you need a copy of the recovery.img.
You should be able to extract the file you need from official firmware packages or your custom ROM zip (if using one). If you are still having trouble, go to XDA-Developers and look for resources, guides, discussions, or ask for help in your device’s forum.
Copy the boot/recovery image to your device
Press the Install button in the Magisk card
If you are patching a recovery image, make sure “Recovery Mode” is checked in options.
In most cases it should already be automatically checked.
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the stock boot/recovery image
The Magisk app will patch the image to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img.
Copy the patched image to your PC with ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
Flash the patched boot/recovery image to your device.
For most devices, reboot into fastboot mode and flash with command:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img or
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/magisk_patched.img if flashing a recovery image
Reboot and voila!

The "fastboot" version should work, there should be a boot.img inside.
