Yes if you go back to C432 you will have OTA again but as I have told you it's better to stay to C636B180 rom and when any new update of C432 comes you can update with dload again
[Mate 8 General] C.H.T.J.:
The newest Updates can i find here right?
[Mate 8 General] Yumyumcake:
Hi I'm on c636b180 I notice in setting signal+ went away it was there in b170 what is signal+ and does it even matter? Thanks a lot in advance
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Signal+ was the feature inbuilt in our mate 8 and displayed as a feature. But with latest update, it still.exists but isn't advertised
[Mate 8 General] anwedr:
A user on club.huawei claimed to have received B180 OTA on their AL10.

I'm still waiting for the update to show up on my device. :|
[Mate 8 General] danywalkert:
Hi All, just got this nice phone and id like to upgrade the official firmware in a safe manner, don't want to brick it!, ill be paying it for some time now.

Anyone around here with the following model?

NXT-L09 & Build number = NXT-L09 C212 B120

which firmware can use to upgrade?, thanks!

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

So I have this phone: NXT-L09, Build number NXT-L09 C212 B120

Can I flash this? NXT-L09C185B180 (full, 1556MB), without bricking my device?, sorry if this is stupid question, I just got this phone and havent found a lot of info about it, thanks!
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
I don't think you should flash C185 Rom on your C212.

Check for updates and download if they are available on your.phone.

If you have updates, do share with us.
[Mate 8 General] DrMmS:
what is latest version for c185
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
C185B180 and you can find it a few pages back
[Mate 8 General] danywalkert:
ok thanks, I guess I wont tinker my mate 8 for a while, I been reading threads here and there and I have seen many people regret updating becuase the battery doesnt last as long as it should, dont want to mess up my device and then not be able to restore to its original out of the box state.

Will share here if I get an OTA update for sure, when that happens.

Thanks again!

Cheers.
[Mate 8 General] titowsky:
Dear All, I am sorry for the silly question but after reading a couple of hours here around I am still a confused what I should do.

I am from Germany; I have a brand new chinese dual sim Mate 8 with SW NXT-C900B152. No OTA update seems available.

What may I do to bring my phone to the latest version, avoiding any complicate procedure (no Windows PC available at the moment), root and... risks?

Thank you very very much to anybody who could patiently support me :)

Best regards
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
Welcome to the club my friend so your firmware is L29C900B152? As you have already read download the latest L29C636B180 firmware andand install itit via dload method with no root and no unlock bootloader.
[Mate 8 General] titowsky:
Ehm... sorry: my firmware is L10C900B152. Where can I find the right file for me to download and install? (I get "incompatibility with current version") :(

Thank you so much for the fast reply!

UPDATE: I could find in Huawei forum and install the L10C00B172: this should be the latest one for my device, isn't it? Any further recommendation, if I do not want to root the device?

Thank you again!
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
yes thats correct, the chinese models are still on B172 so thats the newest firmware u can install without unlocking the bootloader or rooting :)
[Mate 8 General] titowsky:
Last question: am I missing relevant improvements not going further with updates? (this means without unlocking / rooting...) In that case is there any safe and easy procedure that may be done for this purpose, using a mac?

Thank you again!
[Mate 8 General] geovass:
I have the AL10 model. - NXT-AL10C00B156

I have downloaded/unzip the NXT-AL10C00B165 - [full telecom/cn] and put it on my sdcard and or/main memory but it always failing to update ~ The update package does not exist".

If i unzip i get 2 files DATA and META-INF...
[Mate 8 General] behroozexe:
Because this file is not rom this just change list .you must downlod another file .that is have 1.4 G bulk
[Mate 8 General] WeWa2013:
ok. thank you. I have find the update ...B160 but not B162. Where can i find this.

Gesendet von meinem HUAWEI NXT-L29 mit Tapatalk
[Mate 8 General] behroozexe:
See my bro

1-download the rom and anzip

2-go to internal memory with stock file manager root folder

3-create new folder and rename to dload

4-move unzipet rom to the dload folder

5_push vol up+down+power

6-when you see hawei logo left swich and waite til upgread finished.

Your method is true .i dont know why you have problem.

For exam if you like first factory reset then try.
[Mate 8 General] :
If you have Root - you can ez install the zip with twrp!

[Mate 8 General] icy20:
I tried the B163OTA update from the other thread http://xdaforums.com/mate-8/development/b163-ota-update-chinese-t3306668 put it in sd card and tried to flash it through the TWRP but it failed (unknown command [errno] assert failed: blockk_image_verify. error executing updater binary in zip). I tried to find the correct links to go from 156 rom to 163 and then to 165 but I am not sure which one of the links I should pick. (AL10 model with B156 firmware)
[Mate 8 General] maierbosch:
I installed B162. First flashed dirty. Leaded to an error. Then format data, wiped factory reset, wiped dalvik and cache. Then I tried again flashing B162 in TWRP and then it worked fine.

B162 is unbelievable fast. New experience for me. Thank you for the link from Germany!!!
[Mate 8 General] CIPGuru:
Thanks, behroozexe :good:. That worked well with the standard procedure:

Update.zip unzipped into dload, shut down, +-Power.
[Mate 8 General] mrhizzo:
What is the stock file manager? Files? I can't find the root folder there. Only the LOCAL- internal storage and the external.
[Mate 8 General] behroozexe:
Ok bro its true .you must just creat dload folder in internal memory((root folder means at orginal space memory no in any folder.ok?))
[Mate 8 General] Joao Oliveira:
Sorry if this is a repost but i'm new at Huawei phones and i'm a bit cofnused.

My phone is L29 with firmware C432B152. I've seen people saying they went to c900B162. I really don't get it how to do it? Do i need TWRP? Root? I have everything stock on my phone so far.

Thank you for your help.

[Mate 8 General] Puffler:
Thank you for this post. I was quite wary about an "unofficial" update, but my curiosity got the best of me.

I had NXT-L29C185B103 and I'm on B160 now.

My main issue with the phone was notifications just randomly not going to my MS Band 2, and Waze Bluetooth audio in the car. I'll see how long the band lasts before it stops getting notifications!

Thanks Momo!
[Mate 8 General] behroozexe:
No dear you must just downlod C432 because this code from your region
[Mate 8 General] mrhizzo:
Now I could update. Success update is the message I received.

But the version didn't change in the update menu. I am still in the 156.

When I download the chinese version (163), the size is 157. I saw some people telling I need to download the full rom with 1.4 GB, right? But where?

thank you for the help and patience.
[Mate 8 General] Joao Oliveira:
OK thanks . I just asked because i saw people saying the installed C900 on C432
[Mate 8 General] behroozexe:
in different countries build Are different in your region b156 is finaly.

yes This may be whit root. but im not sure
[Mate 8 General] geovass:
Are there any files in the root extract of the zip file? I do not have any files, just the 2 directories.
[Mate 8 General] behroozexe:
no-just after unzip you must have 2 file

1-META-INF folder

2-UPDATE.APP

then move to dload folder at memory and go to flash.

hf all step is true you can first factory reset the start flash;)
[Mate 8 General] geovass:
The file 2-UPDATE.APP is not present after downloading and unzipping.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Installing via dload is safe and legal.

Your version will.get updates every month, just like international versions.
[Mate 8 General] titowsky:
Thank you for your kind answer. In this case I think I will remain with my L10, unless I discover major disadvantages.

Can someone tell me why there is 3G when i am loged in WiFi? Even if i turn off wifi and mobile data there is 3G at the statusbar? Is this a bug?
[Mate 8 General] dr.haitham010:
No , this isn't a bug

It is the type of connection to the mobile tower in which the primary SIM (which connect to mobile data when you activate it ) should be 3G or 4G

This normal and appear with me too and when you activate mobile data it becomes H+
[Mate 8 General] Rodor:

Not that I can find but I can name a few. The camera app is better, it has more options including adjusting the brightness, saturation and contrast before you take a photo. The pictures in low light appear to be much better as well. In fact my Mate 8 just took a better photo than my Nexus 6P in low light of the same item. They added a student mode in Advanced Settings.. There's also an Enable ROG Power saving in Battery Manager.

[Mate 8 General] neeteshkurup:
In addition to unlocked bootloader, you also need the phone FRP unlocked. Are you getting this error after flashing B321?

If phone shows FRP locked, you have to sign in with the Huawei ID and remove the ID. It functions in a similar manner as to security offered by Google.

Just wanted to add that I was getting this message even though I had OEM unlock enabled. So phone was showing bootloader unlocked but FRP locked. So I actually booted to the stock recovery, and performed a factory reset.

Upon booting again, I had to sign into my Huawei ID, and then I skipped signing back in. Then skipped all steps and booted back to the bootloader. This time it showed bootloader and FRP both unlocked.

[Mate 8 General] neeteshkurup:
It seems you selected "Read Unlock Code" instead of "Read Bootloader". You need to use the DCUnlocker again and get the right code. (You may need to purchase the credits again)

Once you get the code, then you have to boot to fastboot mode. Then type " fastboot oem lock xxxxxxxxxxxx" (the unlock code you got from DCUnlocker. )

[Mate 8 General] neeteshkurup:

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------
[Mate 8 General] grofock:
Hello cline2,

You have to unlock your bootloader again. It's written "unlocked" but it's not.

When you'll do it, you're phone will do a factory reset himself and your bootloader will be truly unlocked (you will see both bootloader and FRP unlocked).

Hi hearts king101,

It seems to be the same thing for you. You have to unlock your bootloader once more...
[Mate 8 General] hearts king101:
I have successfuly relock the bootloader then unlock again seems to be nothing is going to change :crying:, no recovery, no root, no custom rom :(
[Mate 8 General] grofock:
Send us a screenshot in bootloader mode please...
[Mate 8 General] hearts king101:
the attached pics

- relocked

- unlocked

- command screen

there's something wrong when applying fastboot commands
[Mate 8 General] grofock:
OK, I think you're in stock recovery.

Can you boot to your system or is it bricked ?

If you can boot, try to find "Enable OEM unlock" in Developer Menu and activate it. Then reboot to bootloader and try the command again...
[Mate 8 General] hearts king101:
NO LUCK :rolleyes:

I tried with oem enabled and disabled
[Mate 8 General] grofock:
Try with OEM enabled to unlock your bootloader again...

Sorry if you tried it yet, I had the same issue yesterday and that's what I did...

You can also verify if you're in stock recovery. Boot your phone unplugged with power + Volume up. Try a factory reset...
[Mate 8 General] hearts king101:
I've already done that many time but never worked but I'm gonna do it again and again until i successfuly flash recovery or brick my phone :D and yes i have stock recovery.

so u r saying that u had the same issue i'm facing and solved by factory reset ?

I don't think I will ever be able to flash recovery. All writing commands don't work but fastboot reboot works, what's going on? I really don't know

Me too!!!

Becuz FRP is not on display when in fastboot there is something wrong.
