[Huawei Ascend P7] blastingproton:
Hi people! I've tryed to search around a guide, but this time I've found to much confusion about procedures, and after 2 months I decided to ask you, to receive and share a clearer answer for this problem.

I've have the P7 Brand TIM (P7-L10V100R001C00B138SP01) and EMUI 2.3.

TIM won't release any update for this phone. Never!

So, the only way to get my phone updated, is to install a custom rom, or an international stock rom.

I prefer the second for now.

Can you help me to do that? Link? Thread?

In some guide I've found, I've seen is needed to install all incremental updates, is it true?

tnx so much in advance! :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] usb2:
you are with emui 2.3 so:

-make a backup because this procedure erase the phone's memory

-download and install b133 full rom (instruction are in the link) http://www.carbontesla.com/2014/09/...t-firmware-ascend-p7-l10-v100r001c00b133sp01/

-download and install this little file (this is very important for a correct debrand...installation is the same as full rom, just delete the previous update.app) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57504273&postcount=8

-hard reset

you should now be able to receive ota update with the preinstalled updater app
[Huawei Ascend P7] blastingproton:
Thank you so much! I'll try it ASAP ;)

Easy way is with my tool, flashify or rashr from playstore or in fastboot mode fastboot with this command flash recovery recovery.img
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
้็How to change language to EN ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
In first boot you can choose language. Very that you don't have on sdcard twrp directory of previous twrp
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
:laugh: I can't find how to change . sorry.

I pack your recovery into flash-able zip .easy to use :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
With power and volume down you can make screenshoot. I don't know whic language you see. I can see all languages
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
Done.

[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
Just an FYI, this version of TWRP will not restore backups from the other versions.
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Yes, just because this versione make a real backup :p

I change a lot recovery.fstab
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
so its recommended to use this version vs the previous one then, from ur tool?
[Mate 8 Android Development] m3dd0g:
Yes its recognized all partitions right it is full working twrp.
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
Why it isn't possible to flash the system.img with twrp? Get error message that there are not enough space on the storage. Wiped the whole phone before and the other img file can be flashed.

Gesendet von meinem HUAWEI NXT-L29 mit Tapatalk
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Yes. For this version i build from scratch so i can male every other dev bere can suggest.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
at stock, the system partition is totally cluttered with barely any free space left, thats probably why...
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
After wipe system, must be enough space, or not? Curious

[Mate 8 Android Development] rowihel2012:
Twrp cant read the internal storage

Tried to factory reset and wipe data. Twrp says failed

What is the fix??
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
Sometime I can flash system, and sometime can't mount. Yesterday my phone bricked after I try to flash system.img from twrp. I can't fastboot system , fortunately I could back because I backuped system with twrp I could restore it. :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
This weekend I'll try new build. I don't have problem but I have Al10 model. L29 must be different. In recovery kernel is for Al10
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
wipe in this case rather means factory reset not clean wipe i think :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
If it is, then we do only dirty flash :(

Gesendet von meinem HUAWEI NXT-L29 mit Tapatalk
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
i thought dirty flash was just flash without wipe / factory reset
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
yes, there is no wipe, if data on sytsem partition exists after wipe.
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Guys new build on request of [MENTION=4169381]m3dd0g[/MENTION] for modem partition. Tell me if internal memory have mounted right, now

[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
be sure to make those updates clear in the first post and thread title :)

thx for your continuous work!
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Good news my last recovery can flash also modem on Al10 smartphone. If you flash B152 (international one) modem change
[Mate 8 Android Development] lukemo:
So in the future maybe we could flash revised ota packages? Is it impossible to flash B163 using a mix of fastboot commands and TWRP?
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Yes for now. But you can flash for now B152 and then in fastboot

fastboot flash userdata .\Debrand\USERDATA.img

Take userdata.img from debrand directory of my tool
[Mate 8 Android Development] lukemo:
Thanks, for now I'm on B156 and I'll be patiently waiting for the B163 Ota. I don't know why Huawei made non automatic upgrades so difficult...

I'll give a try to your revised TWRP...I needed to switch to the other in this forum cause it was impossible to backup (impossible to format data partition).

[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
I don't have this error why you format try to change file system and select data partition (look my screen in previous post). I think that L29 is really different from AL10.
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
Can you make for f2fs file system ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
I think yes. Next saturday I try
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
reformat data doesn't work, i'm back to the previous version, that is working fine.
[Mate 8 Android Development] loudog3114:
Cannot write to just about any partition with this TWRP on AL10. Every time I load TWRP it asks me to allow modifications, but it never sticks and no zips can be flashed.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
have u formatted data partition yet to remove encryption? maybe thats whats holding u back
[Mate 8 Android Development] loudog3114:
Since I didn't read that anywhere in the how-to, no I definitely did not. Do I format with TWRP or what? A wipe data hasnt worked so far.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
well thing is that not all devices have to go through a data format when trying to root, no idea why. in my case it helped to format the data partition and flash a decrypted boot image in order to successfully root :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] yzogheib:

[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
format data partition, dont wipe it. make sure to have all ur data on the data partition backed up before u do this...
[Mate 8 Android Development] loudog3114:
Chose format data in the wipe menu, comes up with a bunch of errors about being able to read directories under /data then it sits at "formatting data using make_ext4fs..." forever. Not sure if this command is supposed to take a while, but I have a feeling it isn't.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
yes it does take a while, be patient. wait at least 15-20 minutes before u interrupt it! it took a while for me as well...
[Mate 8 Android Development] loudog3114:
Did yours come up with a bunch of errors before the make_ext4s command like mine did? I waited a half hour and finally bailed.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
hm strange... unfortunately, i dont remember any errors popping up, i think i wouldve noticed though...
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
You don't use format option but change memory type format (es. Ext4)
[Mate 8 Android Development] yzogheib:
Hi again

so what i have done is the following:

Formatted partitions from within TWRP then I loaded the international Rom using fastboot ( xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/howto-load-international-mate-8-t3293619 ) i tested every thing was working smooth. i could wipe in TWRP and do backup. then I installed the latest update (NXT-l29C432B152-FULL-OTA) by flashing the zip file from within twrp. now cant backup or wipe anymore and i get the error messages described in my previous pot. what did i do wrong?

[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
[MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] Yes mate, explain where you've fixed and if you want give link of your repacked work. I try to touch sources to have your mod in next build:good::good:
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
I fixed the uboot error at startup and changed the title bar text to say TeamWin Recovery Project Mate 8 to keep it as stock as possible. Then we can submit it to TWRP so they can post it on their website for everyone to use. Under your username of course :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Yes uboot error is easy to delete. In my tool there is ver. without this error
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
TeamWin has been asking anyone who builds it for any device to submit it to then so they can officially add it to their site. I think you should submit it as the new version you built is working perfectly.

Some problems usb
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
so just to make sure: which is the newest, most stable, bugfree version of TWRP here on the mate 8 section? the one you modified, based off of rayglobe´s version? or has he updated his 3.0 version in the OP / in his tool to include ur bugfixes? just a bit confusing since theres been like 3-4 different versions of the same base with bugs / bugfixes / new languages, etc :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
The one I posted is acer73's newer version with a few fixes. You can just use that one as I tested this rom with it.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
ah yes sorry, i actually meant acer73 :) mixed it up with the name of his tool ^^
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
In tool and in thread same version. With new language and bugfix. I make my bugfix on my recovery:laugh::laugh::D:p
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
haha of course u do, i just got confused because u first came up with the 3.0 version from scratch, then uploaded a revised version and apart from that, ajsmsg78 came up with ANOTHER version mentioning it was based off urs with some bugfixing included ;)
[Mate 8 Android Development] extrajam:
Thanks for Russian language ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:

Screen brightness

Hi there,

After flashing your TWRP, the first thing I noticed when booting first time was that screen brightness is very low. It is restored by pushing power button off and on again.

Ever since my device has that problem when turned on (screen on actually).

I came from b156 stock, unrooted and had no problems whatsoever. So the answer I read somewhere on this forum that this is a b156 issue, doesn't apply imho.

***EDIT***

After performing a backup with TWRP, brightness problem seems to be solved.

Tested twice :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] Dioky:
Format Data Error

Hi,

When formatting Data partition, I always get this error message in red before formatting actually starts:

flash_image /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/metadata /dev/zero process ended with ERROR: 255

Im with 4Gb NXT-AL10 / b156

Please inform us on the differences between your TWRP 3.0 Multilanguage and the one from ajsmsg78?

Now things get confusing :cyclops:

It's a joke!:D:D ajsmsg78 only decompile my recovery.img and delete my sign inside recovery. But He clearly write this:good:

Clear enough. Thanks :D
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Sorry now I see that you ask also in other thread. Recovery in that thread is chinese recovery and ajsmsg78 explain that add eng and other stuff. I reply you on ajsmsg78 recovery in rom thread
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
ah so there is a difference between translated chinese twrp and yours :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] Dioky:
Still getting same error with this version:

flash_image /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/metadata /dev/zero process ended with ERROR: 255
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Chinese is 2.7 my recovery is 3.0 (if you consider twrp sources)
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Finally I've solved also brightness problem. In 20 minutes from now I'll upload new recovery

Hi Acer76,

For some hours on this TWRP more, and it seems that the app freezing has disappeared :D

Could those two been related?

Hi,

Nice again! Will try it when I get back home :)

Your previous version seems to have tackled the app freezing? Would that be possible? Was the error in formatting data the source of these issues?

Regards,
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
new version is awesome. brightness is working and no error messages while flashing and format data. thank you!!
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
same here, using it now to flash B152 and B162 L29 all in one swoop :)

edit: just one hiccup, it showed one error when trying to flash the B152 and B162 radio "E:unknown command [errno]", but in the end "script succeeded: result was []"
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Thanks mate. I think to made a good work. So recovery is in r1 stage now
[Mate 8 Android Development] Hen Ry:
Why take the format with TWRP system = 2065 seconds?

At Nexus 6 less than 1 minute.
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
Really I don't know. I try all that I know in sources but after 3 minutes if you force rebbot (power and volume up) you can see that partition is formatted. I wrote to des_troy to understand better some sources
[Mate 8 Android Development] raimondomartire:
If you take my last recovery (r1 ver.) you can understand that is new just because ask for password for decrypt at startup. This recovery make format in 30 sec. So I think to have solved problem
[Mate 8 Android Development] lorenzw:
I flashed the recovery and opening it asks me for a password to decrypt the data.

What's the password ? yes does not work
[Mate 8 Android Development] Hen Ry:
Very Good, it still went faster. :good: :good: :good: :cool:

Thank you very much.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
yep i can confirm that, used it today to flash B162 L29 and format data was basically instantaneous in my case :) good job there acer73, also with the fixed brightness issue! much aporeciated :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] lorenzw:
what is the password to decrypt I can not do anything. Thank you
[Mate 8 Android Development] adriangb:
Yeah wha'ts the decrypt pass? It's not default_password
[Mate 8 Android Development] lorenzw:
help, help please

what is the password to decrypt data of TWRP 3.0.0.r1 ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
no password, u need to format data partition. go into "wipe" subsection, select format data, after that data partition will be deleted and decrypted :) so make sure to have a backup of your data first!
[Mate 8 Android Development] adriangb:
I know I can do that, however AFAIK at least on the 6P there was a default password for the encryption that was kept unless you set a screenlock password or enabled the enctyption with a password (which yes defeats the purpose of encryption). I may be wrong.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
no idea concerning that, sorry.... :D
[Mate 8 Android Development] dlorean:
Never needed password for encryption, curious

Which means you did Format Data in the early stages of rooting your device with TWRP 2.8.7.0 or 3.x :highfive:
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
Can yoi fix the problem with /data after fastboot twrp ? I don't want to format data .
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
no idea, funny thing is that sometimes u dont have to format data, other times u do! so best to always make a backup of ur data on a computer before flashing :) at least thats what i do ;)
[Mate 8 Android Development] maierbosch:
I am using SD-Card (128GB) as main memory. Internal memory I dont't use at all. So it doesn't matter if I have to format data.
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
I don' care data in internal sd because I keep them in external sd, but I don' t want to setting my phone again.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
if u flash a new firmware ull have to set it up anyways, especially since clean flashing is definitely recommended to avoid any hiccups.

if u dont wanna flash a new firmware then what do u want to do that would normally require u to format the data partition? am i missing something?
[Mate 8 Android Development] somboons:
After unlock bootloader then fastboot twrp . Twrp can not mount data until we are formatting data that mean you must setup mate8 again.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
...which ull have to do anyways, since bootloader unlock resets the phone as well :D
[Mate 8 Android Development] Hen Ry:
string errors?

<string name="installing_zip_xml">Installing Zip: %tw_file%</string>

would not be the name because, Log?

it stands -> Installing Zip: %tw_file%

[MENTION=264630]acer73[/MENTION] Morning bud. Thanks for the message. Bit of an issue though to be totally honest with you mate. Your saying you cannot share source because of selling work to a company or whatever. You do realise this is fully in violation of the GPL license under which the TWRP source is under? I had a chat with some guys (who are actually part of Team Win's development team) and when asking for help and pointing them to this thread, I can say people were not best pleased with what they heard when they looked at this and other threads that were not including a fully source referenced set of links to development.

Android and most of its off shoot development projects ur under Open Source Licensing dude and as such NOT posting the source to development when working with code that IS open source is not only frowned upon but can lead to legal proceedings pretty swiftly.

I understand you may have some sort of work going on with some company or other, but please for your own benefit, upload all your work to GitHub, add a link to all your source work on here IN the thread, or be warned as to the fallout from the people who publish the source from which your work has built up on (i.e. Team Win Members or otherwise)

Honestly mate I'm just saying to you now in the thread after having a number of people suggesting to me that I rport you to XDA which is not my style, I think its fair everyone has their chance and maybe you dont fully understand how the GPL license scheme works but you DO NOT want to end up in financial legal proceedings over it. Trust me. Just letting you know what was said to me when I shared the link to this thread. It is in your best interest to share all your source as it will be you who gets focused if you do not, not the company you said you sell your work too.

Regards

Mehmeh
