thx [MENTION=1867148]Pfeffernuss[/MENTION]

but that means, i was already from B320 on encrypted ... cause i did not have this option on B320, B331v1-v3 and now also not on B350b ... strange :eek:

Yes, i just unbricked into stock b320, sadly cant find any link to kangvip 331v3, lesson for the future lol

[Mate 8 Android Development] MultiCulti:
that´s maybe also the reason, why i did´nt have any of the "issues" like other during updating from B320 on?!
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
First do a nandroid (just in case you have problems) and then dirty flash b350. I think b350 forces Encryption. Or you could extract boot. Img from custom b350 and fastboot flash(or flash from twrp) or you could encrypt in settings.Then make sure you flash Paul's twrp if you're not on it already.

Is it worth it? Probably not unless you have some form of ocd knowing that it isn't, like me.

So after failing to update from 331v3 to 350b i flashed stock 320. Then i flashed pauls twrp and then using it i flashed kangvip 350b. The process seemed to be stuck at flashing su despite the progress bar being full, so i forced a reboot. the phone booted and system optimization screen appeared, it went through to 100% and the system booted up. so im now the phone says its running b350sp1. Maybe this info will be useful to someone
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
Did it flash supersu? If it didn't then Re flash the rom and it will be encrypted with supersu. Mine did the same but the full rom didn't flash(supersu) and had to Re flash.

At first it didn't flash supersu, viper, there was no chrome and lots of chinese apps appeared. Followed your advice, flashed the rom again and it now seems all is installed correctly, phone now reports C00B350SP01_kangvip slim.

I didn't had that on Kang b350 and now on b350b i have this again.

No, no wonder if you try dload or ota with twrp on your phone. You need to return to stock recovery. How, read general section and last 20 pages of this thread. This is a dev thread, no how to install thread.

Guide:

Search your bootloader unlock code, you'll need it later!

Download B321 from here (THX to ajsmsg78)

http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=66719078

Extract update.app to sdcard/dload

Copy it to your PC! Use Huawei update extractor to extract boot, system, cust

Remove your google account from yiur system!! Very important!!

Reboot to recovery

Full wipe including internal sd

Flash the downloaded zip containing the update app.

reboot to bootloader

flash boot cust system

reboot and wait until chinese screen disappears.

let system boot.

reboot to fastboot

flash emui 4.1 stock recovery

reboot holding vol up, vol down and power

let recovery flash update app.

reboot.

Well i hope your bootloader is still unlocked now and FRP is unlocked too.

If not use DC unlocker to unlock FRPv(found no other solution that quickly) 15€!!!

reboot to bootloader

unlock bootloader again!!!

flash twrp beta for emui 4.1

root your stock 4.1 with flashing SuperSu!!!

reboot

format data to decrypt

flash my Kang

Thank you
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
That is obsolete, B320 for L29 is out. That's the reason why it is not longer linked in the OP. Instead of it there's a short text giving hints how to do it. And simple fact, that is stated in the thread many many tines, is that you cannot switch form B1xx to B3xx using twrp. Over and out.

So, I have B350 KangVIP without encryption om NXT-L29 (C185) (I use kernel from the 1st post without encryption)

Did I understand the right way to encrypt it is:

1) Make nandroid backup

2) Flash stock NXT-L29C185B320 with 3-button method and wait until it starts and encrypts everything

3) Flash TWRP from [MENTION=220328]paulobrien[/MENTION] with

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-next-modaco-rc3-emui41.img

and reboot to this TWRP

4) Flash "[B350b] KangVIP Slim" with TWRP from [MENTION=220328]paulobrien[/MENTION]

Is that method correct?
[Mate 8 Android Development] Kimura61:
Maybe i just need to reflash the rom. I will try that.

Hey guys, I haven't been able to keep up with the latest updates. I'm really sorry if this has been asked a lot in this thread, I searched and wasn't able to see anyone clarify this.

I have a DL00 (which I believe works the same as AL10) and have been running kang vip B156 (EMUI 4.0).

If I'm reading this correctly, can I just:

1.) use TWRP to reflash my stock rom backup

2.) update to the latest official stock firmware (B3xx) using the built in system update feature of the stock rom

3.) flash the latest KangVIP rom (B3xx)?

Or is there a specific way I need to flash my stock backup (is the dload method something I need to look up?)? I have also been reading that this may lock my bootloader, is that a possibility? Thank you for the clarification here, sorry again if this has been asked a lot! :P
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
B3xx you've to flash using stock recovery (dload method), the rest of the steps sounds ok.

Gesendet von meinem Huawei Mate 8
[Mate 8 Android Development] aDarkBox:
Okay, thank you! I will post here with the exacts steps I took to go from Kang VIP B156 to Kang VIP B350 with my DL00 as soon as I've updated successfully (so it can get linked to for others if that's helpful).
[Mate 8 Android Development] ZeroPDA:
I did according to my manual from here. Sadly, I had FRP lock (without a reason). Why? I just flashed recovery from B320, installed with 3 buttons B320 stock and had FRP lock. Had to unlock and flash TWRP from Paul, then flashed KangVIIP B350 and without reboot flashed old /data partition.
[Mate 8 Android Development] gkm223:
Hello developer please input the simple step by step procedure in instruction tab. Thanks.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ZeroPDA:
Also after flashing it didn't allow me to modify /cust_comm/prop/local.prop despite goving root right to root explorer. I had to copy /cust_comm/prop/local.prop to internal memory, modify it there and then copy it in TWRP file manager to /cust/hw/meafnaf/. What was the problem when Root Explorer didn't allow to modify files in /cust?
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
Probably because you didn't remove your Google account from the last ROM that you were on. Or you didn't remove your Huawei account.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

I'm sorry I didn't tell you what conditions I was on there. I was in shutter mode with 1/6 shutter in moonlit conditions. Everytime I turn assistive light off the next picture it would turn itself back on. Is that the way it's designed? So when it's dark and not enough light it turns the assistive light icon?

Sometimes rootexplorer don't wants to modify anything in system / cust. A simple reboot fixes that normally. And that's no ROM problem, it happens with stock, etc.

[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
After installing B320 you've booted into system, registered your Google account, right? After doing that disabling FRP is an easy job. In developer options, OEM Unlock option to on and FRP Lock is history. And well, that is a Google/Huawei feature and is not a problem of this ROM.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ZeroPDA:
That's I did. Unfortunately, if I knew it I would remove google account before flashing B350 KangVIP. I know that is not the issue of the ROM. But I hoped not have FRP and bootloader lock because I am flashing all ROM (B320 and B350 with Google accounts and with the same EMUI 4.1. I like the ROM very, very much and support for this ROM is the best one. Thanks.

I have a question. I saw somewhere here that there is a way to check if my phone encrypted. How? What is encrypted - data AND/OR internal memory?

You've for sure tried to theme framework, systemui or other systemfiles, sorry forgot to mention that, that"s a nogo on Huawei roms. Only user apps!!

And well text color issues you've on many systems that support themes. CM13, RRO Layers, all have problems with apps that are not themed by the theme applied. Especially dark themes always have an issue with one or two apps.

Have you tried our black theme? I think it should be fixed with it, secondary notification text is themed to white. I've enabled Gmail to check, just waiting for a new message ?

Well, for anyone who's having trouble getting spotify or other music apps to show controls on the lock screen, what I ended up doing was downloading Microsoft's "Next" lockscreen app from the play store.
