Here's the Situation:

I was on a completely stock nandroid backup of 4.18.720.10 but accidentally flashed stock recovery of 4.18.720.8 and the MM OTA update failed.

Then I flashed the 4.18.720.10 Stock Recovery.

Now I did something that was unthinkable.

I tried to manually update to MM using the Official OTA package (I had copied the OTA file earlier when I had root) by changing the name of the file to update.zip but that didn't work. I went to recovery to try flash this and it displayed that it couldn't find sdcard/ptt.zip so I renamed the filefrom update.zip to ptt.zip and then flashed it using stock reovery : update from sdcard option (something like that). It showed me one error during the whole process and that was - failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata at /data but it seemed like some files got updated. And now it is stuck to boot screen while trying to reboot it.

Though as seen from the getvar results, it seems that the firmware.zip file was flashed by the recovery ignoring everything else.

PLZ HELP ME...

Also [MENTION=830797]ckpv5[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5399368]n1234d[/MENTION] plz check this out and see if you can help me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samisax:
Someone needs to hook you up with a 6.15.720.2 nandroid backup and recovery.

Maybe searching for that would help.

Alternatively, flash TWRP, and get ARHD or Skydragon or any other ROM.

Good luck.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank7795:
I think the same as the device seems to function normally (in the sense that I can go to bootloader, recovery etc.)

I have the latest recovery BTW.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samisax:
With stock recovery you can't flash anything. I suggested TWRP so you can at least flash a ROM and use your phone until you find a stock nandroid backup for your CID. This might take a while.

Also, I recommend ARHD. It's like stock, without the restrictions (sys-write protection and whatever else).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank7795:
!! An Update !!

I tried restoring 4.18.720.10 nandroid backup and it worked. The device is up and running and is able to detect OTA updates after this version.

But will I be able to update to MM if I already have the 6.15.720.2 firmware and stock recovery???
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank7795:
Oh, in that sense you mean.. I'll try it if the OTA fails again. As of now I've restored 4.18.720.10 nandroid backup and re-trying the OTA
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank7795:
!! Another Update !! [2/216 - 11.15 PM IST]

I tried updating once again and this time the OTA seems to run fine. It's still currently running but I'll update this post if all goes well.

Seems like the Lollipop Stock recovery was giving problems. With the latest MM stock recovery it seems to load the OTA without any problems.. :D :D

Feeling less troubled now :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank7795:
[Issue Resolved]

Turns out that updating the firmware like I did in turn helped me out with the OTA failure issue that was happening with the 4.18.720.10 Stock Recovery. Now my device is up and running MM successfully.

Here is unreleased B163 OTA update. (Must be on B156)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B79PB4FhWfJAM0hMUWNDanE1ZW8/view?usp=sharing

Note that I haven't found a way to install it yet.

Change log is:

Dear customers, this update improved experience of camera and system performance. involved latest Google patch, Please update your device for improved experience.

Optimized experience of camera.

Improved system performance.

Improved security of system.

Improved system stability.

I have found a way to get all OTA and full updates. Unfortunately, this update only exists in OTA form right now.

I'm hoping someone who has a non-Chinese Mate8 can get in touch with me and I can find all the updates for it as well.
[Mate 8 Android Development] geovass:
Thank you. How would you install it on the AL10 (stock recovery/unrooted) device?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
wow, good work there buddy! looking forward to more OTA leaks from your side ;)
[Mate 8 Android Development] wetfloor77:
Hiw to install?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
please read the first post: "Note that I haven't found a way to install it yet." ;)

[Mate 8 Android Development] CyberMomo:
i think this technique can be used if we are able to extract the files into the OTA file.

[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
No, mate ota file don't work in this way
[Mate 8 Android Development] duraaraa:
If I have enough free time, I will create a way to install whatever OTA you want by reverse-engineering the network protocol. Stay tuned :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] hkfriends:
good stuff, hope we manage on how to update by ota zip .

it seems mate8 is not allow local ota update.
[Mate 8 Android Development] rowihel2012:
download the ota zip file but it in dload folder and but it in sd card

then power off mate 8

and push volume up+down+power for 10 second

the update will begin:D
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
I tried that with B156 and it froze at 5%
[Mate 8 Android Development] lukemo:
I confirm that...putting the zip on internal sd it doesn't give the message "impossible to find the update package" (or similar I don't remember) as you put it in the external...the verification starts, starts also the "updating phase" but it freezes immediately at 5% (in my opinion without modifying anything, cause I was able to reboot normally)....just to be clear, I'm on B156 but I've root and decrypted boot...maybe the success could be obtained starting from a clean b156....maybe rowihel2012 could kindly give us more details on his upgrade success (phone model, starting firmware status,...)
[Mate 8 Android Development] mahst68:
Non-root stock does not work either to install this. There's an .app file that HiSuite recognizes if you unzip the file that you downloaded... However once loaded and phone restarts it just takes you to a screen where you can wipe or restart. Tried the other way too and get the 5% and then freezes. Something isn't right with the archive. Saw another dload folder on root but can't mess with it since I'm stock. Maybe you could try that directory
[Mate 8 Android Development] HarkDoid:
This rom is for NXT-L29 version?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
theyre both for AL10 but u can crossflash. also, no one has gotten B163 to work yet
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
In the root directory there is a folder called dload and inside is a file called update_huawei_dload. Has anyone tried renaming the update to that same name and putting it in that folder?
[Mate 8 Android Development] Kris Chen:
Has anyone tried to flash this OTA zip file by TWRP ?

I just opened this zip file and found some of scripts which are similar with that's used in TWRP.
[Mate 8 Android Development] DaffyOnLSD:
I flashed L29 152 update NXT-l29C432B152-FULL-OTA in TWRP on my AL10 after deleting all data. And everything works, so far, apart from themes.

They apply but doesnt do anything. Also it did throw up some error but forgot to take note of it.

I presume b163 will do the same thing,
[Mate 8 Android Development] 暗黑王:
it dosn't work.
[Mate 8 Android Development] CyberMomo:
I searched a bit in that direction.

The phone seem to send our IMEI to huawei server when it check for an OTA update.

It recieve back an answer containing this url for my case

"http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v42466/f2/"

In the server answer i cant get the full name of the file. Is someone of you know this name to be able to download it directly from their server in our PC?

This link is for NXT-L29C432B103 to NXT-L29C432B152 update.

Unfortunaly i cant inspect more data traffic because i already updated to B152 manualy using OTA file in another post.
[Mate 8 Android Development] 暗黑王:
165ota came out.chinese version.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:

thx to cybermomo for this!
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
For what's country ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
for ota I think it should be flash via TWRP.
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
Mee too. Any idea ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] CyberMomo:
The way it work for me.

Create a dload folder in the internal memory disk.

Unzip the content of update.zip in it.

Then shutdown your phone and restart it in update mode.

Some say its not required to unzip it but i think its better to do it to avoid extra time for decompress it and possible space problem in the memory.
[Mate 8 Android Development] 暗黑王:
i have no idea.
[Mate 8 Android Development] icy20:
Update mode is something we enter by pressing button combination? Like fastboot let's say? If yes then i guess it wipes the whole phone by updating through this?
[Mate 8 Android Development] CyberMomo:
yes you have to push volume up and down and hold them while you power on your phone. You can release power when you see it power but keep pressing volume button.

It "MAY" erase all data, it depend by the content of the update script. In lot of case it wipe nothing, it just update some files.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
best to aaalways do a backup, especially with phones ive made the experience that things NEVER go smoothly when flashing a new firmware revision :D
[Mate 8 Android Development] icy20:
I guess that this method works only if one has the stock recovery right? Because on mine it boots into TWRP.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
TWRP is actually even better than stock recovery ;)
[Mate 8 Android Development] icy20:
Wow... That's better. I thought it needed the dload method from what I read on the previous posts...I just write the zip to my sd and flash it through twrp?
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
Twrp isn't always better :) had problems with development settings and only after flashing with dload it disappeared

[Mate 8 Android Development] icy20:
The only bad thing is that for that we need to be full stock which I am not, and if I revert to stock there will be no way of getting back my twrp backup... Maybe if we just return recovery to stock the dload mode comes back? But probably the best way will be to wait for someone give the 165 version let's say flashable via TWRP...
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
You need only stock recovery. Then do dload and afterwards flash twrp with fastboot

[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
no issues here with dev settings
[Mate 8 Android Development] icy20:
You mean that you flashed with twrp and had no problem? I am now at c00b156.
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
Now on B162 no issues at all. [MENTION=683932]icy[/MENTION] did you flashed now?

[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
yep, flashed B133 in fastboot, followed by B152 and B162 in twrp. everything works well, battery life is great, operation is smooth and notifications and app autostart at boot works :)

dev settings work just fine, no issue there
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
I think these new updates are mostly Android Security Updates as a number of different websites said Huawei was releasing them.
[Mate 8 Android Development] raber111:
It's possible to flash b162 ROM of l29 on al10 or it will brick the phone ?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Becas:
I've my x7500 since June and comparing with my P3300 I'm very disapointed.

GPS is too much slower then Artemis getting sattelites fixed and reception is poorer too. No VGA mode neither with WM6 upgrade. Speed loading apps similar with other 400Mhz equipments. Artemis overclocked to 265MHz is very good!

And to make it worst the Wifi that falls repeatdly with WM5, now with oficial WM6 upgrade is dead! don't detect a access point in a radius of 1 meter.

Someone with the same problem? Must I invoque warranty because it may be an hardware problem? or there is a software solution?

Thank you in advance for any contribution to resolve problem
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] boinger66:
your phone sounds like its a lemon...

id prob do the warranty ... its an odd prob esp after a official upgrade...

i can speak for myself and say mine works fine

Thank you for your reply. Efectively was my fault. WIFI working now

[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
I have recently found a way to access all versions of Mate8 firmware for the Chinese model. I found the unreleased B163 version (OTA Update only right now.)

I am hoping that someone who has a non-Chinese model, L29 or L09, with bootloader unlocked, can get in touch with me to help me get the information needed to access these files. I will need about an hour of your time, your computer, and your phone. Please send me a message if you can help.
[Mate 8 General] m3dd0g:
Send you PM
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
this is looking promising :)
[Mate 8 General] CyberMomo:
I didnt managed yet to unlock my bootloader but if you cant found anyone i'll try tomorrow.
[Mate 8 General] m3dd0g:
Can you test in eRecovery if you can download stock firmware?
[Mate 8 General] raimondomartire:
I hope that other can support you. I've Al10 but I hope full support for your work :good:
[Mate 8 General] CyberMomo:
If by erecovery you mean the original emui recovery, no i cannot. It try to install one and obviously dont find any so i have the message like "please download update file".
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
Just wanted to update everyone.

I had a couple people willing to help, which I am grateful for. But unfortunately, it turns out that eRecovery is not possible with the L29. My hope is that perhaps L09 has working eRecovery but I think it's unlikely.

So in summary, I no longer require this help unless someone is able to get either eRecovery or an OTA update working on their international versions.
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
I'm very happy to announce that I have found some firmware for the non-Chinese version. I will update about that soon :)
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
So what I've found is VERY old version, B056, for L09 model. This is before release, before NXT name when it was codenamed X100. I think it's pretty useless, but here's download in case someone wants it.

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G984/g77/v34224/f1/full/update.zip

I will continue looking. I think I'm close to a breakthrough right now.
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
Thanks. I wish you can help me for stock firmware L29B103 Thailand. :)
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
Unfortunately, I've bricked my phone, so I'm no longer able to do much :(. I guess this is why people usually ask for donations :P
[Mate 8 General] m3dd0g:
What happened?
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
What's kind of your brick ?

I just got brick, I couldn't' fastboot system , but I fixed it by restore backup from TWRP.
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
I flashed a very old firmware version when investigating how OTAs work. It bricked my phone.

The result is screen never comes on, but I can access via fastboot. Hisuite software won't repair my phone, and I can flash whatever I want with fastboot, but nothing boots up, the screen never comes on.

Probably, I'm done for a while unfortunately. I am going to try to have Huawei service it in China somehow... but it will take a while.
[Mate 8 General] m3dd0g:
you have pm
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
Sorry to hear that. After I rooted . I would like to dd all partitions in my phone for backup, Maybae it can help while I have bricked.

I ever got brick when I played LGG2. I wish your can fix by Huawei service, but your phone unlock bootloader it make your phone warranty out ?
[Mate 8 General] CyberMomo:
Sorry to ear that i hope you'll be able to retrieve your phone asap with no or less possible charge.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
aw crap, very sorry to hear this [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION]. good thing about this though: its likely huawei wont bother to try and bring it back to life, but rather just send u a replacement, thus no risk of them finding out about unlocked bootloader, etc :D

[HTC Desire 610] flash5565:
Is my best bet to just finish the root so I can manually give "write to sd" permissions? As mentioned so far I've unlocked the bootloader but done nothing else
[HTC Desire 610] michelkovacic:
hello,

first, you must root your phone. then download from play store "sd card fix" for KitKat, and then you will be able to move your apps to sd card.
[HTC Desire 610] flash5565:
Hmm I tried rooting using the app function and rebooting my phone like it says to do, but I still can't move my apps :( also now that I've rooted I've installed another app (DS App2SD Lite) but it can't move my apps either. That all being said, thank you very much for the advice, any more would be much appreciated.

--edit-- I confirmed that my root was successful using RootChecker, so that isn't the issue...Since I unlocked my bootloader (before and after completing root process) I haven't been able to use the SD card as described above
[HTC Desire 610] michelkovacic:
Did you install this app?
[HTC Desire 610] flash5565:
Yes, that is the one I used. Sadly it seemed to have no effect
[HTC Desire 610] michelkovacic:
with that app you just fixing permissions. must open app an run fixing. if you do that I really don't know why still not working moving to sd card.
[HTC Desire 610] flash5565:
Haha yes, I ran it once it installed. It just seemed to have no effect. Also whenever I restart my phone it resets to saying "your device is ready to be fixed" instead of "your device has already been fixed". Like restarting the phone undoes the writing permissions.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
You need to to disable the system write protection before any of these mods will stick through a reboot. Just install my wpmod-disable-write-protection zip . Just follow the instructions in that thread and you can then modify your rom to your hearts content.
[HTC Desire 610] flash5565:
I have a desire 610, not an 816. will it still work?
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Its for 610. Its in our forums. I just checked it for compatibility and compiled it against our kernel.
[HTC Desire 610] flash5565:
SUCCESS!!! Thank you so much for providing me with this fix, it looks like it really worked! I can access my SD card again to move my apps! I'll post again if it turns out that there's actually something wrong, but it looks like everything is A okay!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muffi3n:
How many of us are interested in having an official build of CM13 in our equipment?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolmensch:
1st I'd post this in Q&A and not development.

2nd as long as we have somebody "maintaining" the unofficial builds (poisonNinja) I'm happy with unofficial. Especially since there were bugs even in snapshot builds of cm12.1 like low in call volume and broken audio during 3d applications which were never fixed (as of 17/12/15. This was the last build I tried). It would be good if we get automated builds but I wouldn't sacrifice stability and functionality for this (i.e. necessary cherry picks and fixes).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muffi3n:
It more easy if the developers have a official build
