Several users encountered this problem that it's not encrypting. You could stay without encryption using the kernel posted in the op, or you flash stock B320 on L29 / B350 on AL10 to encrypt your system. Encryption needs time, a very long time. And art optimization starts too, so it could need 30 minutes or longer on a system with many apps! For further information you read 10 or twenty pages back in the thread please, we have discussed about this topic more than enough!

Unfortunately, the last version I was on was kangvip B156, I wasnt able to update until now. So I can't really narrow it down at all.
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Ok, i'll look into my older builds. Already reviewed systemlogs, but haven't found out what's wrong until now. I guess it's a permission problem. Do you've B156 cust / hw_oem folder for me?

[Mate 8 Android Development] aDarkBox:
I have a full nandroid backup from twrp for my B156 install, do you know if those files would be backed up with that? If so I can extract them out for you
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Yes, cust is a separate partition and hw_oem folder is in system folder. Would be nice if you could upload it.

[Mate 8 Android Development] pasil.pt:
Please read post #180. As Thread "owner" restates, this ROM may or should work on NXT-L29 but he cannot guarantee because he does not own that model.

He says you must be patient on first boot, bot how long? 10min? 20? 30? I tried and waited maybe 20 min and nothing happened, so you must have a plan B.

And if you want to be on the safe side first you must take off SIM2 and put the Ext. microSD card. Then copy TWRP backup to that card and, I suggest, a copy of previous ROM on that card, because if you dirt flash boot may not be well succeed. But, if you wipe before flash and it does not boot either then you may run out of OS...and then you will parise for Plan B on micro SD to save your day.

TWRP for Marshmellow on my humble opinion is still a bit experimental, and when you go to TWRP project site and you don't find an official TWRP recovery file for Mate 7 or Mate 8 then, according to my criteria you relly onon an experimental tool develloped (at least partially) by some (well intentioned) DEV.

If some bad or panic situation occurs with a samsung phone, for example, you come to XDA and you find plenty of stock or custom roms. Huawei phones are great, but not as popular as samsung's, and so you don't have many options.

Furthermore, with Huawei you have to face another obstacle: locked bootloaders. You don´t have a robust and effective tool as Odin, and adb/fastboot method may not work if you are not able to put phone into bootloader/fastboot mode.

In conclusion, if you choose (as i did) to move from Samsung to Huawei, you may get a better experience in terms of stability (in my humble opinion), but you must be prepared no to be the same flashaholic kind of guy you were with samsung.

And more than this I cannot help you, as i can only speak based on my personnal good and bad experiences. I never bricked a phone (even some cheap chinese models) but i was very close sometimes :)

I successfully installed this rom on my L29 without any issues. Before I formatted data and wipe cache, dalvik cache and data. It works perfectly! Even eXposed! Thanks.

I have a question: how can I have permissions to write on /mnt/ext_sdcard by any other app (Solid Explorer, Titanium backup, etc) except stock file manage?

It seems I found a bug: In such apps like Swiftly switch or Switchr with eXposed module UnrestrictedGetTasks (the last one allows Switchr to see Recent apps) the circle of apps is shifted below and it is impossible to select upper task in Swifty Switch. I very sad because of this because I like this tools very much, because they increase productivity.

As I wrote before, make nandroid_backup and you can try almost everything.

As I wrote before, make nandroid_backup and you can try almost everything.

This opinion I do accept. But if dozens of people have used one non_official version of the tool and no opinions of the_tool not working has not appeared you might as well trust it working.

If I have understood it right only reason why we do not have too many custom ROMs for Huawei yet, is becayse Huawei has not released their sources as they should have??? But this has nothing to do with experimenting anything you want... as long as you have nandroid_backup.

Well, if you can not unlock the bootloader, you can not probably brick the phone???? So there is no problem.

If how ever you can unlock the bootloader you probably know what you are doing?

After all unlocking the bootloader with Huawei is not so hard, is is? You need one code from one website.

But this has nothing to do with danger of flashing Huawei. I agree totally with you that Huawei phones do not have as many customs as Nexus' have or Samsungs have, but as far as I understood it is to do with Huawei not releasing their sources....

I hail for you not bricking any phones :good:

Thank you for your opinions.

Though I still do not see any reason why you think it is more likely to brick Huawei than Samsung or Nexus?

So I am still thinking of changing to Huawei :cool:
[Mate 8 Android Development] pasil.pt:
If I also changed to huawei recently (to Mate 7 and now to Mate 8) why should I give you that idea?

But, Great "smartphoning" and easy flashing are not necerely compatible :)

I wish you have a good experience with Huawei....and, btw, i have dirty-flashed kangvip rom right after my last post with 100% success! :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] lammpa-1:
That I do understand. No problem. I have been dealing with computers and phones for over 20 years.

Me too :)

Let's brick phones together :laugh:
[Mate 8 Android Development] pasil.pt:
In fact i thinn "brick" is a myth...there is always a way to make them reborn
[Mate 8 Android Development] lammpa-1:
Well... if you force reboot during flashing bootimage or during flashing RIL .... you are quite close to totally bricking the phone .... but if you do that you are also quite close to being a real dumbass :laugh:
[Mate 8 Android Development] pasil.pt:
No doubts...LOLOL

but that is another reason why I prefer TWRP to CWM ou Philz, as it is more rare you do some mistakes by touching wrong buttons...

However, even if you run out of OS, as long as device can go into bootloader mode (with the 3 buttrons technique) there is always salvation from PC-based flashing

[Mate 8 Android Development] Jake2kOne:
ATTENTION!

When you go to

> Settings

> Display

> View Mode

And set anything else than "Large" you will end up restoring your phone via TWRP. ;)

Your phone wants to reboot and after that you don't get the SIM card pin pad and lock code pin pad. So you just get an empty screen with the quick toggles (recorder, calculator, torch, camera).

Happy restoring or avoiding! ;)

Maybe it's a bug or it was just tough luck for me. [MENTION=3910111]pappschlumpf[/MENTION] maybe it's interesting for you

Hi all,

I have B180 KangVip installed on AL10. You wrote, that I have to install Original stock b1xx ROM via Dload. I tried to search how-to do it, (crate directory Dload, extract update.app into it, goto Settings/about phone/install update local) but there is no option to select localy update.

Can you please help me to install B350b Kang on my B180 (NXT-AL10) ? :crying:

Thanks for your guide. I'm confused however. I have L29 with B172 installed (KangVIP, based on AL10). OP says "Not for directl update from B172, B180 etc. You've to flash B3xx/B320 stock ROM first! L29 users return to B1xx stock and flash B320 international with dload method first, please! AL10 users return to B1xx stock ROM and update to B321!" but your guide relates to B350 only.

What should I do then to upgrade from B172 to the latest (B350b)? Simply use your guide or not?
[Mate 8 Android Development] papirek:
Thanks a lot. Your step by step guide is awesome. Thanx once again :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
You still have to update to b320(l29) factory stock dload method first. You must install factory recovery then proceed dload method. Bootloader will be relocked after dload update. Then continue on from there.
[Mate 8 Android Development] cih997:
Thanks. Quick search brought me to this topic http://xdaforums.com/mate-8/development/rom-stock-b162-rooted-t3336931 however it says "You must be on stock B3xx to flash this". I will search more but if you know where I can find "how to flash B320 on B172" that would be very helpful!
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
If you know how to get into bootloader and flash from there then your golden. There are guides in the general section that have the factory stock firmware that you can use for DLOAD update. Is your bootloader even unlocked? To get to 350b you must be bootloader unlocked to flash it since it is a custom rom(firmware).

[Mate 8 Android Development] aDarkBox:
doesnt matter what version you are currently on, as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed if you follow my guide step by step you will be on the latest kangvip B350. The only downside is it wipes your storage, so back up what you need and youll ahve to reinstall your apps. otherwise it is as easy as you can make it. it isnt for direct upgrade, what my guide does is take you to B168 (OFFICIAL) then update you to B350 (OFFICIAL, via dload method) and then update you to B350b (KANGVIP)

HOWEVER since you need the international versions, you will need that stock firmware, but the international versions, instead of the ones linked in the post

- Which version of Xposed ARM64 should i install? I read that we can use it without "ressources hooks" since not so long is that correct ?

Xposed is included with the Rom, go to ksettings, xposed settings and click the option to install xposed (very first option)

You can just flash the kernel after you flash the Rom, no need to replace anything.

Hi,

What is this for?

Download B350 KangVIP Kernel not forcing encryption!

I got B320 and i am very happy with it. Without the ROG it is 1 & 1 and a quarter day easily. With the ROG 1 and 1 and a half day easily.

I get all the notifications instantly.

But i want to try the B350 one. Is it a risky thing while beeing so happy with the notifications and the battery life.

Are there any difference at the Uİ things under the KANGVIP menu? Or same as on the B180? Are there any more features?

And any major difference between 321 and 350.

Thanks.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ZeroPDA:
I can say that DT2W with B350b ROM have been working perfectly without an issue for many days
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
The kernel is for people don't want to return to an encrypted system. B331 and lower are not using encryption. If you're on 320 stock just use ROM only. If you would flash this kernel you would have to reformat data and internal to remove encryption. Not recommended, that makes no sense :D

Batterlife is good on my phone. I've never used B320 and well i think batterylife comparisions between different phones with different apps are senseless. I recommend to backup your actual installation and to just try it. Please install paulobrians twrp with encryption support and install it first before you proceed.
