Yes and we will loose the first time someone has update for L29C636 version post...it will be disappointed...

He can always connect ph9ne with pc drag and drop the folder to pc and install the update and after that upload it somewhere and post it here.....
[Mate 8 General] Shinyji:
How do I unroot my L29 so I can install NXT-L29C185B160? Just a factory reset or remove it in SuperSU? And after that I can put it in dload right or flash it with TWRP?
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Why don't you flash the update if you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP?

Or do you want to be 100% stock to get OTA update B160?

Here [MENTION=4294020]jbmc83[/MENTION] explains what steps need to be done to get to 100% stock but I haven't found any good instructions for the steps.

[Mate 8 General] Shinyji:
Thanks for the link though, but I'm gonna try to flash the B160, with root.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I would think that would be the easiest way to go
[Mate 8 General] M.Noury:
Download update.zip (1.4GB)

Extract update.app using Huawei update extractor

Boot to fastboot

Flash boot.IMG , recovery.IMG , cust.IMG , system.IMG

Boot to recovery

Factory reset

Copy dload folder to internal/external storage

Boot to dload updator and it will update.

Let me know if you need further clarification , quote me or PM me.
[Mate 8 General] Shinyji:
Thanks! Now I understand how to flash userdata.img because of the theme fix
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
What happen with the update rom of C636 B170?

Does your friend manage to backup?If yes please tell him to upload it because we are so many waiting.

Thanks.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
But this only works if you have stock recovery... I belive he wrote he had TWRP
[Mate 8 General] M.Noury:
Exactly, that's why I said to flash the recovery
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Aha sorry [emoji4] my bad
[Mate 8 General] ajsmsg78:
Here is B162 for the L29:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4cHpjZUlaOGVKbmc/view?usp=sharing
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
L29 with what code? C105, C432,C636?

Or you can flash in every L29model with no unlock and no root just with dload folder?
[Mate 8 General] ajsmsg78:
If you click the link you will see the model number & build (NXT-L29C185B162.) You flash by extracting the UPDATE.app to a dload folder on your internal storage and holding in volume up + volume down and power to force flash it.
[Mate 8 General] Flasher8:
hi,

i extracted update.app to my ext card and created dload folder then force flash. Not sure why, still failed to update.

my info :

Huawei NXT-L29 (64GB version)

Build no : NXT-L29C636B103
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I belive the dload folder has to be on the internal memory
[Mate 8 General] Flasher8:
i try both internal and ext, same . :crying:
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
And you put in root (that's to say not in any other folder) of internal memory?
[Mate 8 General] M.Noury:
You do not need to extract update.app.

Only extract update.zip and place the extracted files in dload. The extracted files should contains update.app
[Mate 8 General] Flasher8:
uhmm, i extracted update.zip and place the meta-inf folder & update.app to my internal root folder (dload). Everytime get same error (incompatible version)
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Double check your model number and try again!
[Mate 8 General] Flasher8:
i downloaded NXT-L29C185B162. my model is nxt-L29.
[Mate 8 General] bibiner:
I think he mean that just grab the update.zip. Which mean dload/update.zip. he mean that the update.app should be inside the update.zip already
[Mate 8 General] M.Noury:
What is exactly the error you are getting ?

Can you re-download the update.zip
[Mate 8 General] Flasher8:
i getting incompatible during flashing in the fastboot mode.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

my build number and i downloaded this version. Can u point me to the file which i can update ?
[Mate 8 General] M.Noury:
Flashing during fastboot ??

Who said anything about flashing in fastboot ?

All you need to do is after placing the dload folder in internal/external memory

Shutdown your device

Press Volume up , volume down and power at the same time till you see updating

One question , are you on stock system/recovery ?
[Mate 8 General] Flasher8:
i using your method : press power, vol down and vol up then when logo appeared then release power button and hold vol up/down. stock recovery.
[Mate 8 General] stesteste:
there should be only the update.app in the dload folder . power off then press volume up vol down and power at same time let go of buttons when you see logo
[Mate 8 General] M.Noury:
I believe that what you have downloaded is not compatible , redownload the compatible update.zip or it maybe courpted
[Mate 8 General] Flasher8:
where i can download full package for [NXT-L29C432B152] ? first page gave me 4xx mb.

Yes my friend Flasher try to update C636 version with update from C185 version and someone point him to do it....but he post that his model version is C636 that as far as I know there are no updates for this version.it stuck on B103

Except if the rom that someone show him B162 is really for L29C636.....but as I see in post 254 write that is C185 version....

Couldn't wait also...downloaded... Tried... Works. Yihawwww! ;)

Although I can't find the Huawei Health App? But have HiCare app now, which seems like an overlay for the Huawei FAQ & Support websites...

And yes: Fingerprint Sensor Menu has now new options for slide down notifications, slide back up, click to delete new notifications, cool! Can use also for photo slide left/right in gallery, unfortunately doesn't work in Quick pic.

Would be also nice for RSS Reader... With my LG G2 I used by back volume keys to scroll through articles...the Mate 8 volume keys are not so practical for that.. Too hard to press and wrong side of the phone...Lol
[Mate 8 General] stesteste:
is this for Chinese al-10 originally
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
If you mean the rom B170 above no is for L29 C636.

See the picture.

Yes there is no Huawei health app.....everything seems to work good and fast.

Let's see notifications and battery improvements.

any way to flash B170 with twrp, without going back to stock recovery, fastboot, etc, etc?
[Mate 8 General] gui3gui:
Yes I flash it directly through ray globe recovery, I was on b162!

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
so u just updated from b162 to b170?

generally, just check and see if the .zip contains a meta-inf folder, if thats the case then u can just flash it through twrp :)
[Mate 8 General] zappomax:
Was yr Mate 8 rooted? I'm asking 'cos this is reported in the b170 changelog: "1. Before the update, make sure your phone is not rooted."

Thx
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
So how does C636B170 compare to C900B162?
[Mate 8 General] gui3gui:
Because I have tried with stock recovery and it doesn't work so after I try with twrp recovery and by the way, it's worked

!

And also, it is not the first time, that Huawei say wrong instructions!

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
those instructions are not wrong ^^ remember: these are officially provided OTA files, so officially ull only get those when ure on a non-rooted device ;)
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Are you going to update to this C636B170 version?

How does it compare to C900B162?

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
ive downloaded it, but not sure yet if im gonna update. depends on how much of the system will get changed / be reset after installation. not really in the mood to completely set up my phone again ;) lower power consumption does sound intriguing though and the twrp install option surely makes things easier...
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
I have update (dirty instaletion NOT clean) C636B103 to C636B170.

Unfortunaly notification problem still excist.

Battery life is far away better from B103 rom and better softaware experience....

But notifications is just as it was on B103 rom....they comes when they remember it.
[Mate 8 General] rowihel2012:
notification problem will never be sixed with emiu rom
[Mate 8 General] zappomax:
Sorry to bug U but I'd avoid to brick my phone... ;)

So just to be clear: yr device was rooted when U've done the b170 upgrade with TWRP?

If U did the b170 flashing just after the TWRP installation, this doesn't mean yr phone was rooted. Rooting need one step more after TWRP installing, U've to flash SuperSU.zip by TWRP.
[Mate 8 General] M.Noury:
Flashed system.img from B170 on C185b170

Didn't lose root which I didn't expect. In system about is it still showing L29C185B162 maybe because I changed build.prop earlier.

B170 is missing the below apps

Andtoid Keyboard AOSP

No you can't expect if your model is L09 and your version C636 (but I think the update you are mention is for L29 and not L09) You will have to find a NXTL09C??? update to install but be careful of "C???" this is your version so it has to be exactly the same

Sorry very friendly but I'm starting getting tired.... This are the first steps that we all have do but unfortunately after 10 minutes that the screen is off the notifications has lost somewhere in the universe of Android DOZE and only comes to phone when you enable screen.

You mean that you have test mail app while your phone slips for 10 minutes and you receive a mail and your screen turns on automatically to show you the mail?With stock mail app? How many times checked? What rom, root?

I didn't know that this menu exist. Ok I have put some pictures to change every time I unlock locksceen(this is important I mean to put pictures change for notification?) from the settings menu I updated covers (it says that there aren't updates for pictures or text for unlocked magazine)... Is there anything else to do?

after, just wait and see
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
Sorry but I want to do it right. What do you mean to stay pictures of Huawei? In the lockscreen? Now everytime I unlock the screen I see my pictures
[Mate 8 General] jarod27:
