you have to unlock your bootloader first and follow the l29 to emui 4.1 guide in the op. But if you've no experience in flashing with your mate 8, stop here and wait for an official 4.1 version for the L29 first.

[Mate 8 Android Development] pasil.pt:
no problem, man

i can see your points but there are many other quotes, within this thread, that point to other interpretations or at least don´t give that compatibility for sure.

inclusively the dev/mais poster has stated here and there that he did not own a L29, or that he was keeping this rom for AL10 while working on a Silple Google ROM for L29.

you can also confirm this here: http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=406906823

So, due to this variety of experiences and the length of this thread (each new update can bring either solutions or new problems of compatibility), early posts are not necessarily safe to trust

But again, no problem with the way you adressed my question ;)
[Mate 8 Android Development] lammpa-1:
Well you can never be sure until you try it. Just make nandroid backup of your original ROM first. Then it's pretty safe to try "almost anything".
[Mate 8 Android Development] pasil.pt:
That is easy to do when you own a Samsung, for example, where you can benefit from well trusted flashing tools, such as Odin or ADB toolkit.

Since 2006 I have been playing with HTC and latter several Samsung models.

when you move to a much restricted brand like Huawei, where almost every tool is still very experimental, your risk of getting trapped on bootloops or almost-dead phone is much higher.

but thanks again ;)

[Mate 8 Android Development] goldsilver13:
I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to get from b172 (unlocked everything) to b331 on an AL10. I'm following the bread crumbs from one guide to another. :(

It looks like I need to first flash stock b180. But that means I need to use stock recovery to flash it. What is the very first few steps to get this going? Should I download b180 stock rom then extract the stock recovery, then use adb to flash the stock recovery?

---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

I'm looking at papa's guide from the last couple days... can I just skip flashing b180 or is it absolutely necessary?
[Mate 8 Android Development] MultiCulti:
not so sure if its right that way, but i was also on B170 and went over to B321 ... so B172 should not be a Problem!

BUT flashing stock recovery isnt that big deal to get B180 first!

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------

Just use a different Lockscreen Background, than its gone!
[Mate 8 Android Development] goldsilver13:
I can't flash b180 to my AL10 using the stock recovery extracted from the b180 rom... using external SD "dload" method. (I get a recovery message saying the software isn't compatible)

Full wipe including internal sd

Flash the downloaded zip containing the update app.

reboot and wait until chinese screen disappears.

let system boot.

reboot to fastboot

flash emui 4.1 stock recovery

reboot holding vol up, vol down and power

root your stock 4.1 with flashing SuperSu!!!

Hello there !

I'm stuck around the beggining, when I Extract update.app to sdcard/dload the system crashes, soft reboot, then freeze.

After hard reboot the update.app is no longer inside sdcard/dload.

I'm not to sure what to think about that, help appreciated :cyclops:

Edit: ok I might actually be confused with the indicated path. Does sdcard/dload means you must extract update.app into the dload folder at the root of the internal sdcard, or inside the sdcard folder then into the dload folder (wich doesn't exist so I suppose I should create it) ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] goldsilver13:
yes create it in your external SD card

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

I think technically in your phone dload is located like this "/dload/" there is no "/sdcard/" before it in device... correct me if I'm wrong
[Mate 8 Android Development] duck from space:
I guess one should simply copy update.app into the internal sd card inside a folder named dload. Not in system root or external sd ?

[Mate 8 Android Development] maly3648:
Thanks a lot, this looks fantastic ... But still, the exact procedure of UPDATE for an AL10 users on international version (like many people here) is still not very clearly mentioned. The step by step procedure described in the first page is mainly for the L29 users, not the AL10. HEre are my questions :

1) Is there a possibility to flash the newest Kingvip rom on my AL10 WITHOUT having to start everything from scratch, meaning to flash an unrooted B323 and get my bootloader code (that i have lost) and root again ?

2) IN case there is no other possibility, should i wait ANYWAY have to update to EMUI 4.1 by using this method or will there be a release which will allow me to update without having to start everything from scratch ?

Thanks for your help
[Mate 8 Android Development] GerManiac:
1. no, but why don't you use titanium backup or something like that to restore everything. All in all it will take maximum 30 minutes of your time to set everything up again

2. Don't think so
[Mate 8 Android Development] maly3648:

Is there an option in this rom?
[Mate 8 Android Development] p_noch:
You don't need to start everything from scratch, all you need to do is make a nand backup of your data partition, but full complete backup is recommend in case of any problem, you could always restore back everything to how it is now.

So step in short is like this

1. Make nand backup and move it to your external storage

2. Flash TWRP for EMUI 4.1 using fastboot

3. Acquired and flash stock B321 or newer firmware using freshly flashed TWRP

4. Format everything except external storage to make partitions writable

5. Flash current newest KangVIP Slim (Currently B331v2)

6. Restore your backup (data partition only)

7. (optional) flash Xposed before reboot system if you use it to have progress on first reboot

8. Wait for device to initialized, it will take quite long in first boot, but it should show progress also.
