If you don't want all the encryption stuff followed by flashing the new TWRP the following seems to work:

- flash the new B350 ROM

- flash the insecure kernel

- reboot
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Yep, or simply use kernel included in B331v3.

[Mate 8 Android Development] novalayer:
i don't see it where it's clearly explained it's for that i was confused

do you mean after flashing B350 i need to reboot the phone or reboot to bootloader and flash twrp of paulobrien

then what to do?

sorry for me it's not clear

Thanks
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Sorry buddy, the op is no step by step guide for beginners. If you would have read what is written there you should have known that you've to flash rom first. Boot and flash TWRP.

You can flash it with twrp itself, flash img. Or flashify.

Op in red:

Encryption enabled in new build, no data will be lost during encryption process on first boot. Anyway i recommend a backup before updating! Flash TWRP with encryption support after update to B350! Have fun guys!*

Short and understandable. The text implies you could flash it dirty without data loss, i would say!

Okay, I restored my 331v3 now.

Flashed KangVIP 350 via TWRP

Flashed TWRP via TWRP

Bootloop.

Flashed 331v3 boot.img via TWRP

Worked.

Wanted to check Build number, no entry. Just "KangVIP Slim". Guess it's 350 now.
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
I'm starting from kangvip b331v3, ajsmsg black and blue twrp 4.1 and I dirty flashed and waited 20 minutes without it booting. It just bootlooped with the bullet hole huawei symbol. Now I'm going to wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system and reflash. Am I doing this wrong? Do I need to wait more than 20 minutes?

[Mate 8 Android Development] Jake2kOne:
No need! Just go to bootloader mode.

If your phone is unlocked you are in luck.

Just flash TWRP via fastboot. then reboot and go to TWRP.

Connect your Mate 8 to your computer, and extract the boot.img from the 331v3 archive to your phones memory. Flash this via TWRP then!

After this your phone should start again.

If your bootloader is locked again, you have to unlock it. That means the phone does a wipe immediately fater this.
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
Which twrp to flash in fastboot? Black and blue or encryption enabled twrp?
[Mate 8 Android Development] Jake2kOne:
I'm using TWRP_3.0.2-0_BLACK_BLUE_EMUI4.1.img

Second one for EMUI 4.1

It's recommend for b350
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
Isn't this method keeping it decrypted? I'd like to try encrypted and newer twrp.

I restored back to b331v3 and went back into black and blue twrp4.1 and factory reset, then flashed b350, booted into bootloader and flashed new twrp. Right now it seems to be bootlooping.,

Since when has flashing a new twrp(compatible) version ever given problems? If I flash new twrp 4.1 over black and blue4.1 twrp it can't see internal sd and kicks out all sorts of /data errors.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
I was in b331 then I wiped system & data & cashe & dalvik then flashed b350 then reboot to bootloader and flashed new twrp and reboot and there's message said (encrypt) it take 2.15 minutes then boot normally
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
Mine definitely doesn't do that. It says nothing about encrypting.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
Look bro return to old twrp that one blue black then restore your old rom b331 then reboot normally ok.

After that go to recovery wipe cache,dalvik,data,settings then don't reboot system just reboot to bootloader flash new twrp then fastboot reboot and see what will happen
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
I did do that and it bootlooped again. The problem I think I am having is installing an encrypted rom and then trying to install the new encrypted enabled twrp. it bootloops when I try to boot b350. Then I go back into twrp and can't see sd card and get /data errors.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
Are you L29 or L10
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
Okay, went back to b331v3, old twrp and wiped data, cache, dalvik, system. Then I installed b350 and insecure b350 boot image and it now boots to setup. This is not the encrypted method. If I try to install the new twrp now it(twrp) will just throw errors again.

Edit

You did it already but before you flashing b350 boot img you have to flash new twrp first then b350 boot img I think so
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
I think I'm just chasing a ghost by doing this. Never did I have to ever flash recoveries in a certain order. I think there is an incompatibility here with l29 and new twrp.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
Or if you flash b350 boot img you don't have to flash new twrp recovery

---------- Post added at 04:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 AM ----------

I'm in L29 and don't have that problems
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
If I don't flash insecure b350 image then it doesn't boot and encrypt for me. It doesn't say anything about encrypting. It bootloops.

Jake2kOne was having the same problem as me. He had to flash insecure boot image to boot. Same here.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
OK try this flash old twrp then Flash b350 boot img then reboot and see
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
That is what I have done and it works..but.......this is unsecure boot image-not encrypted. In theory I should be able to flash new twrp and then encrypt the phone in the settings menu but the new twrp doesn't work for me. All I get is /data errors and no sd card support.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
It looks like you're going to have to do a Format Data again in TWRP, then reboot back into TWRP and it should be working again.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
Actually don't know but I think if you flashed b350 boot img you don't have to flash the new twrp and if you flashed the new twrp you don't have to flash b350 boot img :confused: :D

Don't flash the whole rom again. Flash b350 kernel now and boot+wait. After system encrypted and booted you flash new recovery using flashify. New recovery only works if dara is encrypted already!

With twrp he means. But you could boot the system and flash it using flashify or fastboot, too. It simply doesn't count how you flash it. For using the system you don't need twrp ;) You need it the next time you want to make a backup. Not to use the ROM!

Thank you.... I flashed the Rom after formating data and also wiping.... but I was NOT able to boot and got stuck at the huawei black logo of your Rom for around 20 mins.... then I had to go back and reinstal your Rom B331 V3.... Should I flash it dirty or what?
[Mate 8 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
You can't prior to flashing the rom anymore, since a few versions, unfortunately.

Flash it, then use something like Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, Systemapp Remover, ES File Explorer etc. to delete the apps you don't want :good:
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
If i've the time i'll make it Aroma based and if you don't like some apps i've left inside you could change the updater-script. Have a look to the delete_recursive lines ;) Just add some more.

You've pm including the kernel you've ordered ;)

Gesendet von meinem Huawei Mate 8
[Mate 8 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
For me it's just a few apps that need to be removed so takes a minute at most, no biggie for sure!

Adding personal stuff to the zip prior to flashing works anyway, so that takes out some hassle as well.

I saw it, thanks! (was wondering if it isn't the same kernel as in the decrypted kernel thread) :good:
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
No it is not the same kernel, i've patched it myself. I've no idea if ajs kernel contains kang specific scripts that are needed for a clean flash.

Gesendet von meinem Huawei Mate 8
[Mate 8 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Okay! Flashed it, works fine. It boots, there is a signal, there is Wifi, what more can you ask for :good:

(never do a clean flash over here, by the way)
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
When you say 'flash b350 kernel' do you mean the insecured modified version or should I extract it from this kangvip rom and flash it since it is the stock unmodified encrypted boot.img? I'd like to know also if the screen should say something like 'encrypting ' and how long do i wait? Can't I just start fresh and flash your rom fresh and wait? How long then too wait? I did it that way once before and I saw nothing about 'encrypting' for 20+ minutes. I'll try later after work when I have time but I need to know how long to wait.... This included encrypted boot image is causing chaos for my device.

Looks like he is having a similar problem.

Non encryption version of the Kang kernel, tested by [MENTION=1867148]Pfeffernuss[/MENTION]

It's not the same as the insecure one, use this one if you don't like encryption. Link is in the op too.

And the system uses xposed, which means it could loop after xposed installation sometimes. The solution is very very very simple, you just force a reboot with the power button. Now it boots up.

You are probably having the same problem as I and a few others...I bet you can't format data...it will just give you /data errors....install black and blue twrp4.1 and all your woes will be fixed. It just won't let you have an encrypted boot image.
