How can I extract the 4 .img from the update.app ?

I am dowloading the update.zip (containing the update.app for NXT-L29C432B192 if I'm right) and I have the update.zip for the B560. But how can I flash directly the update.app from fastboot? What is the command?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You can extract it using Huawei Extractor. Download it from Here and HOW-TO extract : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3rw78gAl3k

If you have update.app for NXT-L29C432B192. Just create a folder name dload at your root of mSDCard and then copy update.app to it. Switch off your phone then Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power . Release it after you see Huawei logo.
[Mate 8 General] MatthBouvier:
Thanks, just found Huawei update extractor on the net.

My phone cannot boot, so tried with 4 .img, really easy to use, thanks a lot ! :good:

And I managed to flash the B560 :)
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
Hello I updated my NXT-L29C432 to Android 7.0._B560. To make root as a guide I must use .. Thank you help me please let
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Glad you managed to flash B560. Congrats!
[Mate 8 General] hamta993:

[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
[MENTION=2570493]dexz[/MENTION] your a champ around here helping.. question- is there quickneasy way to get rid of decryption? ive been rebranding and flashing like a fool but now cant mount data in twrp.. pretty comfy using fastboot to flash things btw
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
At the moment I don't think so but someone is in the process of doing it.
[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
finally got decrypted again.. just like you i rebranded 636 to 432 and running nougat.. man tried all the diff ways to root it but each one has major issues with settings... esp dev options.. where you running it with no issues?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Previously I have issue like what you are experienced by fashing the update & data_update zip but with Firmware Finder or Huawei Updater app I got no issue with the developer options.

Now I'm trying to jump firmware from Nougat C432 to EMUI4.0 C185/C636 without Unlocked BL/Root/TWRP but just by using Firmware Finder.
[Mate 8 General] Hende:
Hi! How can i root L29C432B560? Or how can i update to kangvip b577?

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

If I try to install SuperSU then give an error: Failed to mount '/data'. Why?
[Mate 8 General] nabil427:
Any good mods for this rom ?. :)
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You need to format data then install patched boot. Please read through on the previous pages. I have posted the patched boot.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
Guys i updated via the B560 Ota ..so now I want to get the root for NXT-L29C432B560 .. someone who has tried this guide can tell me if it works? thank you so much
[Mate 8 General] Hende:
I installed kangvip b577. But if i install arm64-7.0-pico or nano then setup wizard is started and after wifi selection and before google account it throw back to wifi selection part. why?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Are you sure? I looked all this thread to see, I saw nothing. Do you talk about of that? However, there isn't the B560 but B575 or B577.

Don't worry!!! I believe you but I didn't see, and I wanted to see which patched boot you have posted.
[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
so for clarification- you were on 432b320 and used firmware finder to update to 560? from there you rooted and had no issues with setting? havent used either of those to try and update.. might you point me to links?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I've successfull to install the B560... finally. Except, I've also my phone unrooted. I know why, because, I didn't install the patched boot, because I don't know which I have to take. Can you give me the link in order that I'm sure to take the good. Is it the B577 boot?
[Mate 8 General] maijinbu:
I am noob here. Can I flash this firmware over my current phone firmware NXT-L29C636B321 using dload method?
[Mate 8 General] brandonmangan:
Couldn't say exactly how I got here but I'm running 7.0. Was able to use twrp to flash, haven't been able to get back to it since. Can't configure fingerprint and get quite a few force closes in settings but everything else seems to be working, had some trouble getting WiFi to work at first. Is fingerprint config working for anyone else? Wasn't able to factory reset, settings freeze. All in all I'm enjoying the update, thanks for the efforts everyone, if not for all the trial and error I've read about I doubt I'd have a functional phone right now. I love this phone but in ten years and nearly twenty phones I've never had as much trouble with customizing as I have with this device. Hoping to get to a stable and rooted nougat here. Thanks for the thread!
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
I'm sorry I've posted TWRP thread. Attached is the patched boot as requested.

Yes. I have install B560 from B192 by using Firmware Finder

1. Install TWRP

2. Reboot to TWRP

3. Format Data

4. Install update_data_hw_eu.zip (C432B560) We don't have choice or else no keyboard, no system update menu & etc)

5. Install SuperSU ( The one I posted earlier) <-- this one I confirmed I did posted it. :laugh:

6. Reboot to System.

It's not for B577.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
I have already upgraded to B560. Even I have to install this patched?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
OK but... For which then?

---------- Post added at 16:34 ---------- Previous post was at 16:29 ----------

You put me that:

So the patched boot is for B560, right?

Steps 2 & 3 are the files of B560, right?

---------- Post added at 16:48 ---------- Previous post was at 16:34 ----------

@dexz

So i should make a thing like that:

Reboot to TWRP

Wipe menu -> Format data

Flash patched-boot.zip (here)

Reboot menu -> Recovery

Wipe menu -> Swipe to Factory Reset (may be no)

Flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip (there)
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
Where are the files posted earlier?

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

This patched and 'for NXT-AL10 or NXTL29?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
I'm assuming you have B560 and TWRP installed.

Reboot to TWRP

Wipe menu -> Format data

Flash patched-boot.zip (here)

Install update_data_hw (Why? because you have formatted the data)

Reboot menu -> Recovery

[*]Wipe menu -> Swipe to Factory Reset (may be no)

Flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip (there)

Reboot to System

I've never tried it on AL10 but you can try it. :)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
[MENTION=2570493]dexz[/MENTION]

I thought to loose my phone. Imposible to install the root. In addition, it doesn't want to boot After any type of installation. All installations (at least 10 installations) were done without no error, an when I rebooted, a black screen, no logo, just a little light which enabled to see the phone isn't turned off. I've finally successfull to reboot it after a dload installation. In waiting, I am always without root.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
ok, NXT L29C432B560. I have updated to the B560 via Ota. I do not understand some things. Where do I download the TWRP? Where exhaust update_data_hw?
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
I posted 100 domande..Nessuna answer ... no one can help me? I am stunned!
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Maybe you can try to skip the patched boot steps follow this. (Since you only need root right? :) )

Reboot to TWRP

[*]Wipe menu -> Format data

[*]Flash patched-boot.zip (here)

[*]Install update_data_hw (Why? because you have formatted the data)

[*]Reboot menu -> Recovery

[*]Wipe menu -> Swipe to Factory Reset (may be no)

Flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip (there)

Ignore all errors (If any)

Reboot to System

Install SuperSU from google play

Check post #255

You can get update_data_hw at OP
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
The TWRP from where the drain? It serves a particular TWRP? thank you
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
I don't understand what do you mean by that.

Anyway that TWRP is for Nougat only and the version is 3.0.2.0
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
There are more versions Of TWRP 3.0.3 and 3.0.2 From what I sense I have to use the 3.0.2 download on the official website Thank you
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
The first time, I tried that:

Reboot to TWRP - this one

Wipe menu -> Format data

Flash patched-boot.zip (here)

Flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip (there)

Reboot to System

It doesn't work for me!

My error, certainly to have forgotten to make the "Wipe menu -> Factory reset, I think. After I made others errors.

I think that if I had made that, it will have been better

Reboot to TWRP - this one

Wipe menu -> Format data

Install update_data_hw (perhaps not necessary, I think it's useless)

Flash patched-boot.zip (here)

Flash this TWRP -3.0.2 for Nougat - If I don't make it, I loose my TWRP recovery, I noticed that. Why? I don't know. Maybe due to the "Format Data".

Reboot to recovery

Wipe menu -> Factory reset - that, it's mandatory, I think.

Flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip (there)

Reboot to System

Except today, I can't test more. Too much uncertainty. I need my phone next week. I'll try next week end.

To restore, my phone, I made that:

Install via dload method the NXT-L29C432B560

Wipe menu - > Factory reset (necessary).

The Factory reset was mandatory then my phone had no longer system.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
I don't know why it doesn't work for you. My steps earlier are for those who has Nougat installed and running. As you mentioned you have already installed Nougat. You don't even need to do wipe or format data or factory reset. Just reboot to TWRP and install supersu.zip and reboot to system. After that install supersu app from google play. That's all.

[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
For the moment, I can no longer install anything if I don't format the data in the recovery.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yes I know. That's the reason after you install supersu.zip you need to install supersu app from the google play because the script can't install supersu apk but it still manage to install root patch

[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I understood that. For now, I can't test more. I should wait the week end.

I extracted update.app to the update.zip(NXT-L29C432B560), created a dload folder in internal sdcard root. And finally turned off my phone,reboot with the 3 buttons(vol+,vol-and power). Waiting the installation end and make a factory reset after.

[Mate 8 General] martinroc13:
Can i install on L09C432?
[Mate 8 General] NMonster69:
No go here. Even tried flashing the update.app through oem recovery. Looked at the install script and saw nothing i could change to make it work either. Thinking i am failing some type of version validation maybe.

Did srk tool and made sure (updated) my oeminfo and cust.img partitions C432 just in case. Out of options.
[Mate 8 General] bacs.tomie:
Which rom did u have before? I get error 7 while flashing update.zip with twrp. I thought there's something with my twrp, but after i tried to flash b320, and it succeded with no errors. I only get error while flashing the 560 update package and hw_eu package. :( Dont understand

This update optimizes system performance and stability, and fixes an issue where some UI elements were displayed incorrectly.

I've also another idea how install supersu

Download SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip (there)

Download SRKtools here

Extract SRKtools folder

Goes to supersumm folder

Goes to "1" folder

Rename "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip" as "supersu.zip"

Replace supersu zip (in "1" folder) by the renamed file

Launch SRKtools application

Make the menu 4 and 2 for root our mate 8

Like my data is always to 0 MB, I'm not sure that works... but why not?!
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
This and 'very complicato..Non want to risk it. This test work?

Reboot to TWRP - this one

Wipe menu -> Format data

Install update_data_hw (perhaps not necessary, I think it's useless)

Flash patched-boot.zip (here)

Flash this TWRP -3.0.2 for Nougat - If I don't make it, I loose my TWRP recovery, I noticed that. Why? I don't know. Maybe due to the "Format Data".

Reboot to recovery

Wipe menu -> Factory reset - that, it's mandatory, I think.

Flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip (there)

Reboot to System

Grazie
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
No, it's not, you have just to take a long time in the case where you will have a issue... my problem in the week.

Reboot to TWRP - the TWRP -3.0.2 for Nougat

Wipe menu -> Format data

Flash patched-boot.zip (here)

Flash this TWRP -3.0.2 for Nougat

No, you have to remove the actual supersu.zip in the "1" folder (don't erase it, put it in another location). After, you rename "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip" as "supersu.zip", then this "supersu.zip", you put it in the "1" folder and make the operations with SRKtools.
