Please stop bumping the thread. Some people have to do other things in life as well except from lurking around in forum threads and wading through questions which have been answered a zillion times already or can be found an answer to easily. That is: this thread has gone down in quality immensely since the Nougat update, real shame.

But, maybe a third attempt will work, who knows!
[Mate 8 Android Development] wmfreak:
If you had the answer wouldn't have been a lot easier to just give it rather that getting mad at people for asking legitimate questions? If I'd known/found the answer I wouldn't be asking again. I even reflashed the rom but same result. So please if you do know the anwser to the above question please share it. Thanks

Edit: Solved. I changed the locale and it didn't like it. Back to CN, all good

Hello

build : NXT-AL10C00B386

EMUI 4.1

Here is when I try to go to my second step, with TWRP it tells me failed.

What should I do to flashe the rom B577

Flash Update_full_all_cn.zip = failed

Flash Update_data_full_public.zip = OK

Flash Update.zip = failed

Should the bootloader be locked before flashing?

Which version of TWRP should I install before flashing B577?

Thank you in advance for your help

Sorry for my bad English
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
my friend this what i did

Hi

Hi all,

I installed the EMUI 5 by debranding my L29 to A10. It has been perfect so far, everything's great except that I can't change the lock screen wallpaper. There is this "screen lock style" but it's empty. Does anyone has a solution for this ?

Best,
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
the problem with themes there's no theme.

open SRK tools then choose 7 then choose i think 12 and let it flash but i think the themes for emui4.1 but no problem you can delete them again by going to data>hw_init>system>themes> and delete what you want.

then download any emui 5 themes and put it in folder HWThemes in internal storage.

and you can change wallpaper as normal way by sliding 2 fingers and choose wallpaper

I'm NXT L29C636 and KangVIP Slim B386,

I can go through TWRP to L29C636B563

and then TWRP (M8_7_TWRP_CN_v1) to MT8_A_EMUI5.0_B580_Kangvip?

I'm not do debrand to AL10

It will be functional?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
it could work, although there might be some incompatibilities between B580 and B563. no idea... debranding to AL10 and flashing B580 would be the safer way to go.

[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
yeah update first to b563 or b560 then flash (M8_7_TWRP_CN_v1) by pc extract file zip then run (Run.bat) choose no 1 from script.

from twrp recovery install kangb577 don't reboot then install patched boot then reboot.

is developer options working? that's my problem with this version kangb580.

the problem with me is developer options and with kingo root too i think developer options problem because of boot.img, i tried to change kangb580 boot.img with orginal one and developer options working :) but camera not working and root too i fix root problem but camera not i tried with kangb577 same problem i change again to original kangb580 camera working but developer options stop working :confused:.

for me i don't like headache, i have kangb577 working awesome and there's no different between kangb577 and b580.

and you can try by yourself if you like it stay on it if not return to b577 as you like.

[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
L29C432b??? what? if you already have "N" b560 or b563 you can flash kangb577 i don't know about kangb580 try first b577 then b580 and you must read last 2 or 3 page's for more info!

Originally my phone was AL10 but I debranded it to L29C432B180 and then upgraded to B560 and now it is rooted. Currently I am on L29C432B560

Can I install KangVIP B577 rom from TWRP ? Is this right way? If not, can you tell me what is the right way ?

I really want to flash kangVIP Rom, it has everything I need.

anyway, you can also set you preferred third party email, browser and others through setting i mentioned above

not sure on gmail issue though since im using 3rd party app for all my emails including gmail
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
yes you can just flash twrp first(M8_7_TWRP_CN_v1) by "PC" or you can extract the file zip and copy twrp.img from it then flash it from bootloader.

then flash kangb577 don't reboot then flash patched boot and reboot.

KangVIP B577

Thank you so much for the reply.

1) Can I format data, wipe completely , factory reset before installing B577? or is it mandatory to have my previous OS L29C432B560?

2) After flashing KangVIP577 - what is the procedure to flash KangVIP580 from KangVIP577?

3) Currently I am on L29C432B560 stock ROM. (originally NXT-AL10). IF I was coming from NXT-AL10 B577 or B575 - > from there - in order to flash KangVIP 577 - can I follow the procedure you mentioned in your previous post? or is there another procedure to flash KangVIP 577 ?

4) If I want to go back to European rom after flashing KVIP 577 do I just need to dload to L29C432B180 or L29C432B560? (is this safe? )

5) How will the country version change after installing KVIP 577? right now it is showing Eu in vendor. I read in the OP that KVIP has all custs from all regions.

Sorry to ask so many questions. Just to want to keep my options open. My goal is to have the latest ROM from KangVIP with Root, Xposed, Gr8 battery life, call recording, viper4android and all that good stuff KangVIP has to offer. I am really excited reading the reactions from different people who flashed KangVIP577 or 580. 580 looks amazing. I want to get there. But I don't want to brick my Mate 8 in process. That is why so many questions.

Thank you for your patience. Really appreciate your help.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
1) flash first kangb577 on b560 then let it work then you can did what you want.

2) you can but developer options not working I'm not using b580 for this reason, so it's better to stay on b577 no much different.

3) yes follow my steps in my previous post .

4) i don't know i tried rollback but i was on b521 and working don't know if this will work on b560 or b577 or not you can search and read before flashing any thing :cool:

5) kang rom working on any cust or on any region.

6) ooh there's no no 6 :D

- xposed not working yet on nougat.

- viper4android and dolby you can flashing them from here

https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/themes-apps/sound-mod-mrlalsins-atmos-viper-fx-t3548772

but you have to change twrp you can use this one from here

https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/development/unofficial-twrp-3-0-3-0-mate-8-t3524025 then flash the mod then you can back to the previous twrp.
[Mate 8 Android Development] Samavb:
KangVIP B577 - Excellent!

Thank you so much for the reply.

I am happy to report that my installation went well.

Followed your instructions.

LMT launcher - :good::good: (I can take screenshots with it.in this rom - it wasn't working in other roms) so :D:o

Finger print - :good:

Root - :good: very stable. (selinux - permissive even after reboot)

Bluetooth, wifi - :good:

Double tap to wake up - :good: (your one line script - just awesome)

viper4android - for this ( 1.flash the special twrp. 2.reboot into special twrp. 3.flash the viper4android mod from the link you gave. 4 flash the old twrp. -> and then reboot - is this correct?

health app - in Chinese rom - I used to get number of calories in the notifications (it was always there) but in B560 and here I don't get that any more. on lockscreen I get the footsteps. What I want is the no.of calories in notifications. Is this possible? do u know how?

for adaway - I have to push it to system/priv-app and change the permissions to make it work? its says binary not found - error.

thanks in advance.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
you're welcome :)

for viper4 yes download the mod from link then extract the file rar, you'll have 3 zip files viper4 and dolby and one more download them.

- health app and calories don't know,,, sorry :(

- AdAway app push it to system > app not priv-app, make folder by same name AdAway and put adaway.apk inside this folder and give them permission for folder rwxr-xr-x and for apk rw-r-r then restart then try again.

that's all :good:

Note :

double tap to wake, not my script :) it's for [MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] thanks for him and of course for [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] thread.

After update to the latest I couldn't either start "Files" app or enter to menu to change fingerprints. I reflashed FROM two times and made several resets make sure that ROM is clear from garbage. But after setting email it seems associated fingerprints with my email account are downloaded automatically, because when I try to enroll new fingerprint during initial setting after reset, setup says that this fingerprint is already exists. After initial setup is completed I cannot enter to fingerprint menu anymore. I don't know how fingerprints persists reset. I want to try new ROM, but I'd like to know how after installing new ROM to (1) start "Files" app (2) change/add fingerprint.
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
I'm fairly sure the fingerprints are not inside of the data partition. The fingerprints survived all factory resets i've made, but different from you my password always worked in fingerprint menu! I've always choosen the same one. Are you sure you're remembering it correctly? I bet that the files in sec_storage are the fingerprints. I've registered five and there are five files with 192 bytes and two others maybe containing the password. Backup these files with TWRP and try to clear that folder.

Edit: sec_storage is definitely the right place. Deleted one fingerprint and now there are just 4 files with 192 bytes!

Yes, I'm sure that I enter my password (PIN) correctly. Because when I enter it incorrectly it says "Incorrect PIN", but when I enter correct one it just blinks and ask the password again "Please enter unlock password". Where is this folder "sec_storage" located? How to wipe it correctly? And more important: how to flash the latest ROM correctly to make Fingerprint ID menu working and Files app working also?
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
It is the root directory. You can use TWRP's filemanager for copying files to sdcard as a backup. After doing that you just delete all files in that folder. Or you just use rootexplorer to backup and delete the files. As i understand you could still boot and use your system. I'm sure that is the right place, but no idea if just delete everything from there makes it work again. Just try it out ;)

I also bought Root Explorer, Solid Explorer Classic (Did you mean this one?) and have no idea what you meant that you "bought" FX because it free.

Regarding "Files" app: I think if it is in firmware it should work correctly. If doesn't - it testifies about some problem which can appear in unexpected place and time and should be solved. Sorry, but my approach is not to ignore, but solve a problem.
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Solved it, both themed :) Download theme ready versions and use a layers theme that could theme google dialer / aosp dialer and google / aosp contacts. If only dialer and contacts is mentioned it maybe is not theming. For ex. Material Glass.

I would try to extract it from older build and replace the apk. And please check lib folders if both contain a symlink to system/lib64 and system/lib. Maybe symlinks are misplaced or broken.

I'm using it for T-Mobile but since this phone is dual sim, I doubt I'll get it working. Oh well. After thinning out a lot of huawei apps with the exception of themes, backup, phone manager, file explore and replacing them with Google apps, I'm loving this phone, ROM and setup with layers. I don't miss cm and aosp so much anymore
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Yep, it is working great and battery is so good. Because of developing for LiquidSmooth team I've bought only phones where aosp was already there, or the chance of having it fast was very high. But at the moment there's nothing going on, the team is very silent and if there'll be progress again i've my Nexus 4 left. So the Mate 8 is the first phone i've bought where aosp is very unlikely. And well, i'm very happy with that setup, too atm. We'll see what else is coming up. If i've enough time left i'll maybe try to make an emui layers theme. It could be possible to theme Huawei systems apps with it, too.

That would be cool man. Hopefully this year, they break more into the American market so more aosp and cm users will take interest. There's also the p9 max rumored to come out. I'm loving the specs on that if they're true but another phone without aosp or cm. Especially with Android N coming out

After unlocking my bootloader, a factory reset was performed. Once the phone is setup, i entered the dev menu and enabled USB debugging.

I launched "run.bat" from M8_7_TWRP_CN_v1 and pressed '1' for the option "Flash zh-CN TWRP."

Then it says " Flashing zh-CN TWRP... < waiting for device > " . I received a request on my phone asking if I should allow access. I allowed access but nothing happens after that. Tried restarting my computer and the phone but its still the same.

I noticed that when I enable USB Debugging, and press 'OK' to allow USB debugging, and once i press the back button to get out of the developer screen, the USB debugging would automatically turn off.

Ps: I was able to unlock my bootloader using SRKTool.

Edit:

I relocked my bootloader and when I try to unlock it via fastboot, i received the error:

when you enter bootloader what you see in phone screen? you see phone lock only or with frp lock ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] arvin2212:
Hi, No problem. I understand :)

I found out that it was because my OEM unlock option was disabled. I can't enable it on android nougat so I went back to stock Marsh Mellow and enabled the OEM Unlock option and ran the OTA until B563.

I ran the script again and it flashed TWRP. The TWRP is in Chinese but I was able to navigate following some youtube videos that are in English.

I selected the option to wipe data, typed 'yes' and proceeded with the wipe.

Flashed Kang B577.zip and it says completed!Please Reboot! Script Suceeded.

Then i installed the patch.

When I am back in Android, There are some chinese apps in my notification bar, but the version still stays at B563 which is the version i got from the OTA. I don't see any Kang VIP option as well.
