[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
depends how u define "best":

chinese firmwares are more up to date, but require more manual adjustment on your part, i.e. removal of chinese bloatware, addition of google apps & services, etc

whereas international firmware require less manual adjustment due to less bloatware and gapps & services preinstalled, but theyre a bit behind the chinese firmwares in terms of bugfixes, functionality, security patches, etc.

your choice :)
[Mate 8 General] themissionimpossible:
Google security patches should be currently the same (as of February 1st) on both versions.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
thats why i said theyre only "a bit" behind ;) fast forward a month or so and the situation can be different again. i was just pointing out general trends pertaining to the two different firmware versions

Hi, Im trying to go back to chinese rom, but i have foound that in the stock chinese rom there is no CACHE.img and USERDATA.img. Do you know how i can go back to chinese stock?
[Mate 8 General] skn48:
Hi I'm quite a newbie on this site and now struggling with my nxt-CL00, which seems to be sim free but limited to China Telecom for 3G/4G connection.

How should I flash system.img against the error below??

load_file: could not allocate -1736380236 bytes

error: cannot load 'system.img'

What I've done are;

1. ADB, Drivers(Hisuite) install

2. Unlock boatloader (fastboot)

3. TWRP(3.0) install (fastboot)

4. SuperSU install through TWRP

actually, I've also done wifi recovery during 3.-4. once, and noted that TWRP should boot when cable pluged-out but EMUI wifi recovery boot when cable pluged-in. not completely sure though...

5. fastboot flash cache, cust... okay

6. Getting Error; fastboot flash system as above.

7. (also did fastboot flash userdata... risky though)

Now, I'm just stuck and keep getting this error.

Meantime, the only good thing for me now is blowing out the annoying "China Telecom" boot screen and missing unnecessary Chinese apps. :p
[Mate 8 General] off-line:
I found instructions 7 MATE ...

It is necessary to change the location for the firmware version.

In the next topic, I asked oeminfo file from a working phone.

Suitable version of L29 or AL10

If someone help file is ../dev/block/platform/hi-mci.0/by-name/

Please indicate the version of the phone L29 or AL10
[Mate 8 General] skn48:
Okay... I will dig into how to change location and OEM info for L29 or AL10 instead of CL00.

Thank you anyway for your explicit hints!
[Mate 8 General] rowihel2012:
i damaged fastboot after debrand my l29 with chines rom

i activated find my phone with the chines rom

fastboot blocked from flash any img

so why bothring ourself and debrand :eek:
[Mate 8 General] natxoga:
And if the fastboot problem its due to the find my phone service, why dont you deactivate it??

[Mate 8 General] natxoga:
Yo dont need the chinese rom to deactivate it. Just install the cloud+ apk and it will appear in settings. Mine its the AL10 with the international firmware flashed via fastboot.

B156 is the chinese rom, the international is at B152

also, B152 is already downloadable here as well on xda :) i get the feeling that nobody really even takes the time to take a look at the already posted threads here in the mate 8 section.... *sigh*

[Mate 8 General] sirpaul82:
Use DC unlocker, it's dead simple, just follow tutorial

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
u have to manually put the theme files back into the respective folder. rooting involves /data format and / or factory reset by unlocking the bootloader. that should help though :)
[Mate 8 General] danster84:
So any idea how to manually install the latest 152 version after switching over to international from chinese rom?

first of all so thnx for this important thread

i am planing to buy Huawei mate 8 Chinese version 128gb and then Load International Mate 8 Software on Chinese Mate 8

but i cant download the firmware from the provided link

or even from the main Persian site ( any one can tell me how to download or activate the register in this site )

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
there are newer versions available already though, B152 international and B156 chinese firmwares. all available here in the mate 8 section, just do ur due diligence and read through the threads ;)
[Mate 8 General] jamo59:
Cheerio! This is not a new ROM update?

No official later?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
thats the newest chinese firmware :)
[Mate 8 General] danster84:
I am sorry for my own stupidity but can anyone help how to extract these files (cache.img cust.img system.img userdata.img) needed for the flash from the current B152 international rome? I downloaded the huaweiupdatextractor tool but I cannot locate all those files.

Thanks, help is much appreciated.
[Mate 8 General] sirpaul82:
Those are .img files not rar files, they have to be flash in bootloader via adb

[Mate 8 General] danster84:
Thanks that I understand.. that's what I am trying to do but I was under the impression in order to get them I need to extract them via the mentioned tool from the update.app file, or not?
[Mate 8 General] mrhizzo:
More update? Sounds good! What are the changes?
[Mate 8 General] einstien:
After downloading the rom file extract it using winrar or 7zip the open the updaye.app file using Huaweiupdateextractor and mark the parts you want to extract. Finally, right click on it and choose extract
[Mate 8 General] dpagoh:
Forgive me if this has already been answered somewhere else, this forum is huge! I'm still waiting for GizOk to ship my phone to the US, and interim I've got everything set up to unlock the bootloader with dc-unlocker, and to root the phone (yes I did my reading). I read earlier that the Chinese rom is receiving OTA updates pretty frequently, and my only concern is if I want keep the phone on the Chinese rom and use TB to remove the Chinese bloat ware, and install Google play, will I still be able to receive OTA updates with the bootloader unlocked, and the phone rooted? Thank you!
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
nope, any modification to the system will refrain ota updates to reach you. for root that is a given, as for unlocked bootloader without root im not sure but i wouldnt be surprised :)
[Mate 8 General] dpagoh:
I figured. I was a long time Samsung user before I discovered Huawei literally by accident after my Note 3 was stolen. Once Knox is tripped good luck getting any support from Samsung.

An interesting theory I've been playing with in my head (we'll call it plan b); is it possible to unlock the bootloader, root, delete what I don't need, then relock everything to continue receiving OTA updates? I know that seems like a lot of work, but so is flashing every new update that comes along, and with them coming in as frequently as they have, I don't want to miss a single one.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
sure, in theory that is possible. just make sure youre 100% STOCK before u relock the bootloader, otherwise ull mess up your system! so ALL partitions, including recovery, need to be 100% stock before u do this.

also, once u flash an OTA update ull most likely get back all the apps uve previously deleted, to ure back to square one :D
[Mate 8 General] themissionimpossible:
However unfortunately there would be no assurance that an OTA update won't reinstall all the bloated and unwanted software again...;)
[Mate 8 General] dpagoh:
Well darn, I just can't win.

Okay, how about this. I have lollipop running on my HAM2, and it's pretty standard that if there is a system app that you can't uninstall, you can disable it from the manage apps screen within settings. Doing this not only disables the app, but also makes it to where you don't see it anymore in your apps. What do you think?
[Mate 8 General] themissionimpossible:
Some apps can be disabled in the app settings (and then disappear), but without root others can't and remain visible.
[Mate 8 General] mrhizzo:
I am receiving this message: error: cannot load '(PATH-TO)cache.img'

Any clue?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
ure not supposed to actually write (PATH TO) but input the path to the folder where u put the image :D

example: if you put the cache.img file to directory C:/Images then youll need to input the command: fastboot flash cache C:/Images/cache.img ;)
[Mate 8 General] Orq:
Anyone tried with a NXT-DL00 ?

Thanks
[Mate 8 General] Fabriel:
Hi duraaraa.

Could you tell us which ROM you used for that ? I want to revert my AL10 to the chinese firmware, but I can't find a ROM to use with fastboot as your "L29Fastboot"...

Thanks in advance.
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
Any ROM is fine. You use Huawei Update Extractor to extract the files from UPDATE.APP, which you then can flash with fastboot.

My device is now bricked, but since you have an AL10 maybe you can help me with this:

http://xdaforums.com/mate-8/help/please-run-fastboot-command-t3328686

Would really apprecaite it.
[Mate 8 General] jarod27:
One guy had test to flash a recovery L29 on AL10 in order to have a full rom L29 ?
[Mate 8 General] Fabriel:
Thanks for your answer, but in your "L29fastboot", files were CACHE, CUST, SYSTEM and USERDATA ; in the UPDATE.APP, there is a lot of .img (BOOT, CRC, CURVER, etc...), but no CACHE and no USERDATA, so I don't know which files I must flash...
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
Flash everything that you can from the Chinese rom. Then, use the Wifi recovery that it lets you get into upon boot by holding volume up key to get a more complete flash of the Chinese rom.

After having done that, please run the fastboot commands again for me!! :)

Also, please try this for me:

[Blu Studio 5] Tattoo_Paul:
Made with MTK-TWRP tool by Teamwin developer Dees_Troy. I would normally give all credits to developers here but it is absurdly hard to find info on Teamwin (PLEASETeamwin devs feel free to contact me with the info you want posted.)

WARNING!!! You could brick your phone. I am not responsible if you brick it, chuck it at someone, or fling it off your balcony in frustration. That's on you!!!

What you need:

1. A rooted BLU Studio G (NO OTHER DEVICE WILL WORK!!!)

2. [ROOT] Rashr Flash-Tool installed on your phone. (get here on xda or the Play Store.)

3. A file archive utility on your PC (Windows, Linux, Apple).

Got all that? Let's get started.

STEP ONE - Install Rashr on your phone.

STEP TWO - Extract recovery.img from attached zipfile.

STEP THREE - Move recovery.img to root of your sdcard.

STEP FOUR - Open Rashr on your phone, select Recovery from Storage, navigate to recovery.img, and flash.

STEP FIVE - When Rashr is done power off your phone, boot into recovery (Press Power + Volume Up until white splash screen then release).

If it boots into TWRP your done, if not you missed or messed a step, so start over.

Update: returned the phone, this is overall a poor device designed for kids to break.

This TWRP worked flawlessly for me, even after installing the Cyanogenmod Rom made my Nobreak1970, which gave me many problems (because noob) which i fixed with this TWRP by 'fixing permissions'.
