Yes my friend I think that this is what you have to do...unlock or wait for your version update...

Finally I have finished set up L29432B170 rom...I do a clean install...

The 1st test with stock mail app with 30 minutes phone sleeps with no interruptions the mails comes at last instantly...but I'm holding my happiness for more test...

With the phone just locked for 2 or 3 minutes messages from Facebook,Facebook messanger,Twitter,instagram, viber comes in lock screen instantly....

Let's see!

After cross flash C636B170 with C432B170 (no root just dload) I have to say that there is a progress in this version with notification problem. I need more days to be sure but after several test with phone sleeps more than 40 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours I have to say that stock mail app works as it should... But don't be enthusiastic I need more days to test. All other social media app seems to work instantly except Viber that I haven't test it yet.

I need 4 days to talk about battery... I flash yesterday with 70% battery I had set the whole phone from start with transfer from Pc (that means charged again). Today I had full charge the phone to see.

I just have a quick question ...

I'm currently on NXT-L29C185B162

Can I download the NXT-L29C432B170 from post#479 and flash it via dlaod method on my phone??

Would I lose any data ??

My phone is not rooted and my bl is locked
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
No you will not loose your data but as I read some posts above you can't install C432B170 to C185B165 it gives a compability error
[Mate 8 General] milili:
So basically if I want to change region I have to install twrp and flash the Rom via that

Yes?
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
I think so... Why don't you try C432B170 you have nothing to lose...
[Mate 8 General] milili:
You are absolutely right

I will try it out and share the result here
[Mate 8 General] bibiner:
I'm still on L-29 C636B103. I wanted to wait and see if I'm seriously gonna get any official update. Anyone got same issue as me? Malaysia market
[Mate 8 General] milili:
So I downloaded the NXT-L29C432B170 from post#479 and tried to flash it on my NXT-L29C185B162

The updater gave me this error

So as said before apparently you can't change region by flashing a different Rom via dload method
[Mate 8 General] M.Noury:
You have to flash it manually through fastboot
[Mate 8 General] milili:
How can I do that??

Can you send me the link to the tutorial??
[Mate 8 General] dr.haitham010:
My version was c186b103 and waited for official update 3 weeks and didn't get any updates and finally I downloaded the update from this thread and made it manually

So don't wait for official updates otherwise you will wait long time , do it manually
[Mate 8 General] VANLUC:

I updated on c432b170 from c900b170...

And the most stupid thing i noticed:

I lost the netmeter in my statusbar....

Beside this all is working... I dont see why someone should update from c900b170 to c432b170... Maybe someone can tell me the differnce ;)
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
The difference is that the notifications on lockscreen seems to work instantly for stock mail app for me. With C636B170 was a mess. Thats big deal for me.....

As for data meter go to settings - notification board - and apply net meter
[Mate 8 General] M.Noury:
C432b170 is newer. It have March security patch
[Mate 8 General] Aratheba:
Then I have to unzip the file? I just renamed the file to update.zip. :p

That's because you're on C900B170, on C432B170 this option isn't available. From C432B152 to C432B170 option showing data usage in notification drop down isn't available too. Crap update, nothing else

This is so weird....from C636B170 I crossflash C432B170. That has change my cast file to C900B170 but the real rom suppose to be C432B170 that I have clean install before and after... What is happening?im starting getting confused...is there any chance that after flash C432B170 the only thing that change is cast file(C900) kernel & android security but the whole Rom stays C636B170? Why I still have the setting for net meter? :(

And why after the flash for the first time my notification works as it should?That's because of new kernel?

Take a look at this 2 photos also...

Lol why didn't search :P
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
When you crossflash it always changes to C900 and the phone is recognised as NXT.
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
OK all this I know that when you crossflash your cast change to global... But what about Rom? Why I'm still I have net meter after install C432B170 if in this rom this net meter has been removed?That means when you crossflash the only thing that change is "C" version(cast), kernel and Android security? The rest of the rom stays stock?

What do you think?

And as for the notifications I'm starting to think that C432 can handle them very well instead all other versions...
[Mate 8 General] rygiel1974:
The ROM C432B170 no files userdata.img , cache.img , I can not install the Fastboot where can I get it?

I am currently on L29C636B103 and have no problems with notifications or anything so thinking if its wise to manually update. Are there any substantial or good changes in C636B170 version?
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
If u r happy, y update! Wait for OTA ;)
[Mate 8 General] bibiner:
I too stuck at that version. gonna try to wait for 1 year and see if I get a single ota. Interested in new version seeing how someone said you can have extra feature with fingerprint sensor gesture.
[Mate 8 General] rygiel1974:
I am loading a rom L29C432B170 as the folder DLOAD I can not change themes. Why ?
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
Yes in new version C636B170 you can have extra feature with fingerprint sensor gesture and much better battery up to 30% in my case. I update manually because I had so much problems with notifications and I had the same problems after the update. My notification problem solved with cross flash instalation of C432B170 rom... Totally mess.

But as I see it it would be better to wait for OTA because I don't know if you manual update the update will be same as OTA. It's a totally mess with updates...
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
dude, chillax :D netmeter WAS NOT removed, it just disappeared in another user's case because he dirty flashed this C432B170 rom over his existing C636B170 firmware, thats all :)

so just be happy that everything is working as it should, youre all set :)

Hallo there, I'm on L29 NXT-C900B152, where can I download a TWRP flashable C900B170?

I cannot find a download link in this 3d, even if everybody's speaking about...

thank you...
[Mate 8 General] dlorean:
Are you sure? On C432B170 is no netmeter and data usage counter in notification drop down. I made a clean flash C432B133 - C432B152 - C432B170. B152 there is no netmeter but data usage counter, on B170 there is no data usage counter anymore.
[Mate 8 General] :
+1 (clean install!!)
[Mate 8 General] giank30:
Found it here... - http://huawei-info.de/huawei-mate-8-b170-ota it's the european cust but I got C900B170 when installing...

BTW.. the Google now on tap is disabled in B170, is it true? anyone had it working?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
so random, why would they remove that again? ugh...well one more reason for me to stick to B162, everything is working perfectly including notifications, battery life, netmeter, etc :cool:
[Mate 8 General] dlorean:
They remove only the data usage counter, some apps and think changed framework. Because with other dpi in build.prop, the notification drop down menu is like on B162, recycle bin is in the middle. On C432B152 there was no netmeter, only on C900. I don't know why they do this, but I hate those stupid things. I'm already thinking on whether to go back to samsung, when note 6 is available.

After cross flash C636B170 with C432B170 my notification problems solved except VIBER that i cant make it show notification and not only in lockscreen but with sceen on...they never comes what ever settings i make.I have try install-unistall but nothing seems to work.The test i made is simple...i deactivete wifi and data, send message to my Viber, activate wifi with screen on but nothing comes until i open the Viber app...

Is there anyone have the same problem or maybe a solution?
[Mate 8 General] :
For me too. I shouldnt update... Maybe im going back... :)
[Mate 8 General] kunalmalviya:
How much battery life were you getting before the update? And how much is it now? Currenly with C636B103 I am getting between 6-7 hrs SOT spanning close to 2 days.
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
About 2 days with 7,5 to 8 hours screen... But I'm going to tell you again to wait for OTA update because there isn't any full Rom for your current rom C636B103 as to have it backup (only with root) so if for some reason you want to go back to 103 you can't...

Some guys who take the C636B170 OTA say that includes Huawei health app but the full version here doesn't have it.... This difference for me is so strange and if I know it before I would have wait. So for me wait...

looking at the changelog it seems like its got a mix of the same improvements as B162/B168/B170 of other regions... quite confusing if u ask me!

how about a google spreadsheet where we collect all firmwares and give info about changelog, kernel date, security patches date and build date? that way we can determine way easier which one ist the most up to date one :)

[Mate 8 General] dr.haitham010:
Must have the same cxx version.

For example if your version is L29C185B103 you can put rom L29C185B162

As you can see the 2 roms have the same L29C185 and difference is in B section which is the update version.
[Mate 8 General] kunalmalviya:
You are right. I will just wait for the official OTA to hit my phone. Coming from LG Flex 2 which needed charging 3 times a day, Mate 8 is already exceeding my expectations. This is the first phone I am happy not to root. :)

Hi. Thanx for your efforts first of all! I have the AL10 model. All the links that you give are some mb or kb. So i guess it's not a full rom. I now have the C00B156 version right now.
