Megalink added in my post as promised but downloading was very slow and uploading quicker.

Once more: https://mega.nz/#!wtpGQQwZ!muqfxNnAWbPdXe-aEcqNsxDTmDXR2kfQK-fSu8RPVac

I just installed but version is stil B575

I think you need official B577 and then this upgrade.

I only see something changed in KangVip tool and some Chinese crap apps. Thanks to root these can be uninstalled.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jonidog:
Was successful for me, I flashed it over the weekend and everything works really well! Google play store initially didn't work, but after updating to the latest Google services apk, it was fine!
[Mate 8 Android Development] paulcl:
Did you flash it over B575 and now you see B577 in Settings, About Phone?
[Mate 8 Android Development] saitercan:
Paul L thanks ☺️
[Mate 8 Android Development] jonidog:
Flashed over stock B575 and still see B575 in about. But pretty sure it was successful and it's B577. The Chinese forum mentioned something about that.
[Mate 8 Android Development] eltarod01:
I am no expert in these things.. But since it's been a while since Nougat has been released, why hasn't this rom updated? Is there a problem?

Does anybody have the data zip for b577?
[Mate 8 Android Development] paulcl:
Unless you have a B577 zip the data zip is not necessary I think.

See my post here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70561717&postcount=244

You can use the original Chinese version from the first link given and install in debugging mode

or you can modify the tool as described and install from debugging and fastboot mode.

Hoping someone can help advise

Hi everyone! Happy new owner of a Mate 8. I hate posting this request because I know people just suggest to read, read, read the forums. I have read but still need some clarity on steps so I don't screw something up. I have rooted and flashed on so many phones but mainly Nexus phones that are easy.

My Mate 8 is bootloader unlocked and rooted on B190 and Emui 4.0. I want to flash this ROM as it looks pretty bad-ass for this device. I know I have to flash back to something then flash the ROM, but also read and was confused about clean vs. dirty flash in the process and the specific steps.

Can some kind soul respond or PM me and give me clear steps? Seems this phone is easier to mess something up, and I want to avoid that.

Cheers to all you guys in the world! Thanks from a girl in New York ?

btw, anyone having the issue of Whatsapp disappearing after a reboot? Its weird, it sticks until the next reboot, then its just gone O.o Reinstalling it again only sticks until the next reboot, wth?!

Btw, with each new reinstall, I noticed Whatsapp folders piling up in /Data/App, so i manually deleted all of them after uninstalling Whatsapp. Still, a fresh install (i tried both Play Store and manually from ApkMirror) still disappears on me after the next reboot....
[Mate 8 Android Development] :
Everyone,

This is a headache to install, but it "TOTALLY" worth it.

This guide is missing two steps. First, if you go with these steps, the phone won't detect the simcard. To address this, you have to flash 'cust' as well.

Also, upgrading from 552 to 575 needs stock recovery. When I installed 552 twrp was still there and I couldn't install OTA update. So I had to extract the recovery from one of the topics online and then flash it and install 575 . and then install chinese twrp and kang 575.

Should Wifi+ really switch off wifi if you're out of reach? Have you tested if it works like that for example with stock, or Rayglobe? There's nothing metioned in the description texts that this feature is turning off wifi like for example hilink is doing.

In Rayglobe ROM for example HwChrService is not present too and i'm fairly sure that it's not needed for wifi+ or anything other we need. HwIntelligent seems to be a useless one, too. I've googled both apks and translated several chinese pages and can not find any info that these apks are really needed.

- check your system is "mount r/w" press on it in file explorer it must be like this "mount r/o" befor modifying anything in buld. prop

- after modifying the line save your change.

- after you did everything you must reboot your phone (reboot) not (hot or fast reboot).

- the change will be in Settings/Smart Assistance/Motion Control and you will see Double Touch appear in SCREEN GESTURES section, Turn it on.

1) for theme you can use SRK tool (easy method)

https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-t3369797

but the themes in this tool is for MM but you can change this manually by :

open SRK tool folder > themes > mate8 > hw_init > system > themes > you'll see the themes you can move all to other place in your computer or you can edit all themes by modify bak next. hwt and put mate9 themes because mate9 have nougat and emui5 they same,, don't worry you can delete them later just put 2 or 3 themes in the folder then return to SRK script then choose no 7 "utility > no 12 then follow the steps :)

ok guys i need some help here :( for my NXT-L29

i was in KangVIP for MM B388 V2 i think, then decided to try the one for Nougat and that mean i had to go to stock in order to upgrade to Nougat first before installing KangVIP 577.

anyways i downloaded the files and followed the instructions in this Thread and then restart flawless and facctory reset and relocked my device.

now when i go to settings to check my build No. i found it's NRD90M test-keys :eek: <~1

now when i tried to root i found that there is no TWRP in my device anymore :( <~2

tried Hamada's TWRP mentioned in previous replies to install TWRP script through PC but it seem didn't work

Tried the SRKTool using Henry method of replacing TWRP version for Nougat with the MM one..

also without Luck..

so what should i do now to have official nogut with proper build No.

or if its possible to jump over this step direct to install KangVIP it would be better :good: but how to do it without custom recovery?

KangVip roots your smartphone and with System app remover (ROOT) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp you can uninstall Chinese apps.

For Google apps, copy apk files you need SD card and execute https://mega.nz/#!1gpVgY6Z!DXQRE2K6rBdx5fgyr4Eex2H9nmKlbLD90tumRXQfgpI
