It would be interesting if it works for you. I didn't for me. It's true that I tried erecovery after getting stuck in bootlogo having updated via hicare.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
look for B573 stock firmware in FF and flash that first before trying anything else...

also, rolling back to B386 cant just be done by flashing the firmware, there are more steps involved.
[Mate 8 Android Development] paulcl:
I gave the advice because it ever worked for me. With eRecovery you are sure you have an official release to start from.

Maybe if you get stuck in bootlogo you don't get in eRecovery but that's another problem.
[Mate 8 Android Development] johnney:
tried this method several times but no luck, I can connect wifi but always end up with " "getting package info failed"
[Mate 8 Android Development] mostafa_googo:
guys i know this old but these steps of b386

1) Boot into recovery and flash update.zip BUT DO NOT REBOOT

2) Afterwards back out of the install completed screen and switch TWRP to flash images in the bottom right

3) Flash boot.img to the Boot partition and TWRP.img to the Recovery partition

4) Reboot. Can take some time to finish booting, that's normal.

5) Boot back into TWRP and flash the ROM.

the first step mean boot into twrp recovery and install the update.zip or install the update.zip with regular recovery ??

I finally upgraded to B589 KangVIP ROM, now I have a new problem: Google play store doesn't work!! It's on the "Checking info.." screen forever! I tried install the newest play service apk & it doesn't work, I also noticed that the search engine is google.hk if I use chrome to search(I've already set up Google as the default search engine in Chrome)

Please help!
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
u need more than just the google vending apk to properly install the play store. try a google search and ull see which apk files to install first and in what order :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] johnney:
would you please share your solution? Thanks
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
dont have it on hand atm, thats why i suggested the google search :)

theres also a thread in one of the mare 8 subforums describing how to properly install the google services on the chinese models/roms.

[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
take that with a bucket load of salt...

notice two things:

1) even though it says "confirmed" there is no proof of any reliable source given

2) see how the P9/P9 Plus supposedly got Android O in MARCH 2017? yeah right.... :p

nevertheless, im still hopeful for our beloved mate 8 :)

I've already set the search engine to Google.com, but I can't search things if I input in the address bar, I get another error message "This site can't be reached, www.google.com unexpectedly closed the connection", all other google stuff works fine, gmail works, play store works, only Chorme, and the weird thing is all other address(such as bing.com) except for google.com!!

[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
where did u see that one? no such firmware available yet (at least not on FF as far as ive seen)
[Mate 8 Android Development] wmfreak:
didn't know there was a B595 out yet. Link to news pls.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
in any case, android O development seems to be picking up in speed for our mate 8, already 10 dev firmwares out :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] wmfreak:
cool!
[Mate 8 Android Development] apat26:
​

Where? Which models? Link pl?...Wannna try ....
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
only for L09 thus far, but that doesnt have to mean anything. all of them are available in firmware finder app in the form of B1xx versions. only one of them is a fullOTA firmware though.

in any case, please be aware that these are PRE beta versions, likely not fully functional and difficult to get rid of again in the end. i would wait until actual beta versions are available, likely with B6xx or B7xx / EMUI 6.0 designations, as opposed to B1xx/2xx for Android 6/EMUI 4.0, B3xx for Android 6/EMUI 4.1 and B5xx for Android 7/EMUI 5.0
[Mate 8 Android Development] c|nder:
Who ever said b595 exists is a liar or just doesn't understand english.
[Mate 8 Android Development] apat26:
Thanks for the info... So mostly will see beta rollout happening after launch of Mate 10 expected in Nov/Dec.... Like it happened with Nougat beta rollout last year.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
yes, that is the most likely thing to happen. android O hasnt even been released yet, so im guessing all dev firmwares right now are just to "get a feel" for O in order to be ready when the mate 10 comes :)

it also wouldnt surprise me if B589 is the final nougat firmware released for the mate 8, especially since it only contained a security patch upgrade and a new function for a preinstalled system app [emoji14]

I agree this may be fnal nougjat

Hi, you excuse my English but it is not my language and use an automatic translator.

I have a Mate 8 NXT-L29C432B581s no brand. I have decontrolled the bootloader and installed TWRP, has read a po of pages but the different language and the so many pages they make me the possible to read everything, I would want to understand well that passes I must do for installing if possible this ROM with Android 7 and EMUI 5 or the rom more adjourned possible and stable (all working), now the KangVIP-Slim-B386-ViperAtmos that is in the first post but I doesn't believe have unloaded that I/you/he/she am this the last.

For now thanks to all for the help.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
no need to read the whole thread, just read the last few pages and you will see that the latest kangvip rom is based on B589 :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
It excuses my ignorance but I don't succeed in finding the KangVIP B589.

When I find her/it am I able flash from TWRP or I must do other?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
the safest thing to do would be to flash the same base stock rom first (B589 stock) via dload method, then flash B589 kangvip via twrp
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
Hi,

I have a Mate 8 NXT-L29C432B581 flash Kangvip B589 which I zip download?

Because over the air are still the B581 if here there is already the B589?

Thank you.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
two options for you:

either install the latest L29C432 stock firmware (B581) available, followed by kangvip B589 (no idea though if ure gonna run into trouble this way)

or

debrand your phone to one of the chinese models AL10/DL00/TL00/CL00, flash the corresponding B589 stock firmware, followed by the respective Kangvip (A/D/T/C)
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
Thank you.

If I want to go this route I who have already installed the NXT-L29C432B581 that I have to install between these
[Mate 8 Android Development] nabil427:
Can i plz provide al10 stock b589? i dont know how to use FF or which files download :))
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
i dont think it will make any difference, so just choose your poison ;)

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

just look a few pages back in this thread (or use the search thread function for "B589") and u will find links :)

or use firmware finder, its actually quite easy to use. just search for NXT B589 and download all parts of a full OTA version
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
WOW!!! I have flash the M8_A_EMUI5.0_B589_Kangvip, is the flash that the first start they have been fast.

To first look you/he/she should be everything ok except that I don't have the keyboard (any type in any app) and I don't have Google paly. I must install the open_gapps-arms -7.0-mini-20170722? Do I owe flash from TWRP?

P.S. there are some parts in Chinese (do you see enclosure), can something be done?
[Mate 8 Android Development] nabil427:
I already searched for it but there this only links for kang versions not stock ^^
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
try and manually install a keyboard app like Gboard via a downloaded .apk file (since u dont have playstore yet)

as for gapps, best to try the following:

http://itechify.com/2016/11/10/download-google-installer-apk-chinese-phones/

last but not least, make sure u have root access and tiberium backup or system app uninstaller to get rid of all the chinese apps ;) thing is that this is the chinese original kangvip and not the kangvip slim that is the namegiver of this thread, so manual tweaking is necessary.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

ok then, try the following:

1) use this link as a base in order to download the necessary parts of the stock B589 firmware

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1255/g104/v87927/f2/full/

this link by itself doesnt do anything, but it serves as a base!

2) after the link above, add the following to be able to download the respective files:

file 1: update.zip

file 2: NXT-AL10_all_cn/update_full_NXT-AL10_all_cn.zip

file 3: public/update_data_full_public.zip

thus, in order to get the first file, the complete link would look like this:

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1255/g104/v87927/f2/full/update.zip

and so forth...

dont expect high download speeds, so be patient! also, it sometimes needs several tried to get the whole file. in the end u should be ending up with around 2.4 GB total size.

to install via dload method, extract the update.app file from the update.zip via huawei firmware exctractor and put it together with the other two firmware files into a folder named "dload" in the root directory of your internal storage. proceed by either cold booting via the necessary button combination or by inputting the required alphanumerical code in dialer to reach the service menu (search google for huawei dload method, ull find the necessary steps since i dont recall them by heart here)

good luck!
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
Still thanks for the whole help.

Does installing the gappses that you have pointed out me Android tell me that it is not original, I must entrust me? I ask him/it because the dependences that are different and in Chinese and therefore I don't know what I am installing.

I enabled the option developer, but when I click opens the window for a split second and then closes. How can I fix?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
yep, u have to entrust the file during install, thats normal. and yes, its a bit finicky due to it being in chinese, so its trial and error ;) but it should work in the end!

the developer option bug is common, u can try the following: download the stock firmware u have installed right now (C636B581, correct?), then extract update.app file and from that extract the boot.img partition via huawei update extractor. then flash the boot.img either via twrp or fastboot, that should fix the developer options...
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
I installed the Google Play China dall'apk but now will not start because it says it lacks the core gms. I tried looking for the download but I do not what to download.

I extract the boot.img using TWRP but when I install it asks me to choose whether to install it as a recovery I (can not remember the name) I chose this second option because I had to reinstall the ROM does not start.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
Download this version

11.0.55(448-156917137)

If you want to flash boot.img from recovery choose partition (boot),,,, for recovery choose partition (recovery).
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
what he said ;)
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
I installed but not working. Reading around say that first you need to install GMS Core and then Google Play, it's true?

If it is so, simply uninstall Google Play?

Sorry I do not know English, I did not understand what to do.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
Look,, uninstall (delete) google play store and google play services from your phone then switch to recovery then flash(install) this file from recovery then reboot :

For the options developer says:
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
you debrand your phone to AL10 ? or what was your stock rom before kang?
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
When you purchase and then updated via OTA was NXT-L29C432B581, wipe after I installed the M8_A_EMUI5.0_B589_Kangvip, I had problems with the installation of boot.img I did wipe and now I installed the M8_C_EMUI5.0_B589_Kangvip, but if I look in info phone tells me NXT-L29C432B581.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
yep thats normal, when u install kangvip the build info wont change, it just sticks to the version number of the stock firmware installed :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
I installed using TWRP in recobery the boot.img but I still can not see the developer options. I try to install another boot.img?

I have tried uninstalling the app. Chinese nor Titanium Backup succeeds, says no is the apk file and allows me just freezing. It's normal?

E' normal that every time you uninstall an app. It is like a quick reboot?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
have u also tried "System App Remover (Root)" from playstore?
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
I tried now and fails to uninstall. Start uninstalling and then the smartphone restarts, open 'System App Remover (Root)' and the app is already installed.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
which apps are u trying to remove?
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
All those who have the name in Chinese, for example, one is called 360 and then there are letters in Chinese.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
Use root explorer app it's better then go to root section then system and remove all the Chinese apps from system > app and system > priv-app but i think your root is missing because you change the boot img check if root is working or not first.

root explorer 4.1.1

Check first Chinese apps name's that you want to delete before deleting anything :) i mean look to the app first that in folder before deleting,,,, and please make backup first from your system from recovery before deleting anything :D ((Per l'emergenza)):good:
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
B590 is out, but only for L09 model so i doubt we will see it being used for kangvip. still, nice to see ongoing development :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] apat26:

Friends need help, how can I update the kangvip rom I'm on the b386 please help me
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
first flash B386 stock rom to return to full stock. then update to B589 stock before installing twrp and flashing kangvip through it. u might have to unlock your bootloader and root your phone again on the way...
[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
Hi, I thank all those that have helped me to install the M8_C_EMUI5.0_B589_Kangvip and despite that I don't know the English they have been patient and so good that have succeeded to understand and to install. Unfortunately the B589 according to me is too much "orientalizzata" and not me from safety over it has problems type that doesn't leave disinstallare the apps, I don't succeed in entering the options developer... Even the apps that I install then I am not able her more disinstallares!!!

I repeat, it is the first time that I ask help to XDA and graces to people type @ jbmc83, @ hamadazh and all those that have helped me, feel me to my house and sopratutto I have never felt abandoned and I have received the support that served me. Would I have a last thing to ask, if I can ask her/it here, do I open another post otherwise, as I must proceed for returning to the original NXT-L29C432B581 but with the root?
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
You're welcome any time,,,

For developer option it's problem with the new boot and boot Mean's kernel and your boot for b581 and kang used b589 boot img and edit it for root.

i have this problem before and the only solution for me to debrand my phone to AL10 then update to stock b589 then kang b589 and everythings good so you can debrand your phone to AL10 or DL00 or you can try b589 stock boot or encrypted boot b589 but first and before do anything make backup from your system if not succes so you can back to it again and trying other .

Try stock boot img b589 or encrypted boot b589 on kang b589 you can try from this thread

[Mate 8 Android Development] pegasoc:
To delete all apps Chinese and return to NXT-L29C432B581 smooth version I have to do some wipe?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
yep, this is also what i recommend as the best option to make sure everything works. always use the same exact stock firmware version as the kangvip one for a base install. thus:

AL10 B575 stock for kangvip A B575

DL00 B580 stock for kangvip D B580

CL00 B589 stock for kangvip C B589

and so on...

of course, make sure to debrand ur phone to one of the chinese models AL10, CL00, DL00 or TL00 before installing stock and kangvip roms... ;)

as with [MENTION=8428951]pegasoc[/MENTION] before, looks like our little B581 L29 stock rom experiment failed, but thats ok! now we are a bit wiser than before :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
Yeah you're right and also better than used L29c581 then kang because kang rom depend on the famous one AL10 :)

For me i debrand my L29 to AL10 b320 then i got ota update to b321 then got ota update to 560 i think,,, but before doing that and to avoid sim card problem i flashed oem for DL00 from recovery from here then i got same ota update to b580 then b584 then b589 and this one is fantastic rom then i used kang b589 without any problems also if you used kang b589 on l29b581 you'll have a problems with developer options and also with kang tools for example that option "hide navigation bar" i think becouse l29b581 don't have this option in settings > navigation key and also different framework .,, so yeah the perfect way to debrand to AL10 or DL00 :good:

Regardes

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

If you have backup from stock b581 you can use it or restore it again,, but if you already flashed kang over b581 Without backup so wipe Will not do anything or will not change anything you will back to kangb589 and in this situation you must back to stock by flashing L29C432B581 stock rom by dload method.
