Hello, can we use international boot.img to my china set (al10)?

Also, once i install twrp can i flash gapps on my stock rom?
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
Maybe OP should notices on top thread what we lost when we unlock bootloader such as can't change theme.
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
Can you uploade your boot.img without flash decrypted boot ?
[Mate 8 General] :
Same here with normal e-mail.

Only synct when open.

decrypted boot image works on all models, dont lets yourself be fooled by the origin of the image :) u can just fladh it and it works, no matter which phone model or rom u have installed.

as for gapps, u can flash them, but make sure to make some space first on the system partition, because its pretty crowded there at stock and u wont have much space...

[MENTION=4008653]somboons[/MENTION]: have u tried duraaraa's advice of taking out sim card, downloading and applying themes and then putting it back in? should work that way. also, ure not really missing much in the huawei theme manager, so dont fuss about it too much buddy ;) having root is way more important, trust me
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
Thnanks.

Doesn't work.
[Mate 8 General] Freeje:
Yep. Turned everything on. Almost all notifications work except mail.
[Mate 8 General] :

I cant find the app. Email and Gmail. Both are not there...

relocked

Does someone know how i can get rid of the following boot-message?

"Your device has failed verification and may not work properly".

A few days ago i unlocked my device and relocked the bootloader again today.

Since then it shows the above message.

I'm assuming it's because i relocked the device, but i'm not sure.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
before u lock the bootloader u have to make sure to be 100% stock. so: unroot, flash stock rom, remove twrp as recovery, only THEN relock the bootloader. otherwise i dont think ull get rid of that message at boot
[Mate 8 General] mrbazil:
I did that, with 1 exception, the recovery.

I didn't find the EU-Recovery, so i used the chinese one.

So, can anyone provide the EU-Recovery for this device?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
hm, shouldnt it be part of one of the stock rom images...?
[Mate 8 General] mrbazil:
Nope.

ADB AND FASTBOOT (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790) YOU CAN SEARCH THIS TOOL ON GOOGLE

Step two: Unlock your Bootloader

Boot the Mate 8 in bootloader mode

Turn off phone

Press Volume down

and insert USB CABLE.

Start ADB & FASTBOOT.

Check your Phone with "fastboot devices" if its there go on. IF NOT = CHECK DRIVERS!!

next command you need:

"fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXXXX"

XXXX is your Bootloader Code.

/done. Start your Phone.

Step Three Enable USB debugging on your device:

Open Settings on your device.

Go to About phone and tap seven times on Build number, this will enable Developer options.

Now go back to Settings and you’ll see “Developer options” there, open it.

Connect your Phone

Tick the USB Debugging checkbox.

Open the folder where your TWRP.img file is saved.

Now open a command window inside that folder. To do that, “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder and then select “Open command window here” from the context menu.

Connect your device to the in Fastbootmode again and the command u need is:

fastboot flash recovery TWRP_ENG-MATE8.img

next command should be

Click "Install" again

SELECT SUPERSU.zip

after installing SuperSu your phone is rooted.

Reboot. CARE! TWRP ASK IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL SUPERSU DONT!!! install supersu via TWRP again.

click "Do not install".

In case you still dont have root.

Unzip the C00B129SP02 decrypted boot img.zip

take the bootimg and install via fastboot.

command you need "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

START DIRECTLY IN TWRP and do the WIPE (WIPE DATA)

then directly in TWRP click INSTALL and choose the SUPERSU.

Now you denfently have root.

This is my First Guide. Please dont be mad at me - i only will help guys like me.

Thanks to jbmc83 for helping me to root my device.[/QUOTE]

good job there mate :) btw, u can add AL10 to the list, im running B162 as well ;) although i didnt follow your guide :D
[Mate 8 General] :
Allright thx! Its in ;)
[Mate 8 General] icy20:
You should also add to the OP that if the device is AL10 with stock chinese firmware one should first fastboot the whole B133 international rom with fastboot first (especially the userdata partition is very important) then flash TWRP with fastboot and then boot at system enable the usb debugging and then flash through TWRP the b162 rom, then supersu again and decrypted image 156 .
[Mate 8 General] lool4231:
I got an nxt-dl00. Does it work for my model too?
[Mate 8 General] adriangb:
You should couple the ROM with a OEM file to make it (probably) OTA updating and such.
[Mate 8 General] :
I removed the Info that the AL10 works as well, because i dont have a AL-10.

The Info that it works from jbmc83 is surly right and works (He knows what he say/does) but i cant do a guide for a Phone thats not mine. So My Guide is only for the L-29.

Thanks for your Post mate, you are right - it was a bad Idea do add the Al-10.

No OTA Updates if you rooted your Phone - so it dosnt make Sense right now. If there is a Option to recieve Updates OTA i will update my Guide.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
[MENTION=6802227]EGOiST1991[/MENTION] if you want, i can provide u with the additional steps and files necessary to also make this work on the AL10. this way we can make this guide even more complete ;) hit me up via pm if youre interested

"Open minimsl adb fastboot again

[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Since you have root, boot into fastboot and before that download images for stock recovery.

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(the name that u have for stock recovery)

fastboot reboot

this should solve the problem
[Mate 8 General] ZeroPDA:
I downloaded original update.app and extracted recovery.img from there.

I did the command

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(the name that u have for stock recovery)

fastboot reboot

It didn't help. I still have "WiFi Failed" problem. I noticed that there is recovery2.img in the original image. I compared extracted recovery.img and recovery2.img and they are different. Probably I should also try to flash recovery2.img?
