What did you do?

Have you flashed the b162 version ?
[Mate 8 General] Lykeul:
Hi all, some one can help me?

When I flash the L29C432B170 update on L29C900B170 TWRP say error with flash radio, and after flash the phone build number it's C900B170...

I try many zip but all time TWRP say error with flash radio...

Any solution for my problem please ??

PS: My phone it's original NXT-L29 C185B103 version, flash kangvip AL10 B168 and after international NXT-L29 C900B170
[Mate 8 General] dlorean:
You get always C900 with international Rom, because you don't flash the rom for your original cust. The error is normal, but it flash the radio correctly.

[Mate 8 General] Lykeul:
so if I understand he marks C900 but in reality it is C432, it's that ?
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
Yes i confirm that too... But i was hoping that it has to do that i flash the full rom C636B170 and no OTA. So the problem still exist with OTA update either...

I have test (cross flash) C432B170 and i had no problems with notifications except Viber...Now im testing C10Β172 Russia and o think that is the best rom off all but Viber problem still exist.
[Mate 8 General] dlorean:
Yes it is

Kernel base is always C900 so also Rom.base.

Only the settings change with region

What Samsung used to.do, these guys are doing same.now
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
since uve tested both B170 roms and the russian B172 already: what makes the B172 the best firmware in your opinion? also, what kinda SOT values do u get on those firmwares?
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
First of all my stock version is C636.Im no root or Unlocked bootloader.

C636B170 still has notifications issue!Battery about 40 hours of use with 7 hours screen

C432B170 everything works great (and notifications except Viber) but sudenly one morning when i wake up i realize that all ringtones assotiations with contacts has lost and return to stock ringtones but maybe this has somehow to do with some files that i have transer with Hisuite the day before.(i didnt transfer ringtones folder or rename it and i dont use memory card and use 2 sim).Battery about 40 hours of use with 7 hours screen

C10B172 as far everything works great (and notifications except Viber).I feel that this firware is more....i dont know how to say it...i didnt fing lag to any of the 3 firwares but this one lets say that is more lagless...this was the only rom that google now was installed but this maybe has to do with the installation that i follow.

From C432B170 to C10B172...

1.Factory restore

2.Install C10B172

3.Factory restore

4.RE-install C10B172

5.Factory restore

Battery about 40 hours of use with 7 hours screen

I didnt find Huawei Heath app in any of 3 roms

Now im staying with this rom until the new update with new kernel of my stock rom C636...
[Mate 8 General] pk.waw:
Did anyone else got OTA update to NXT-AL10C00B172?

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
this is great, thx a lot for your feedback! as far as i can see, theres no need yet for me to update from my current B162, battery life would stay the same and the notifications and everything else work just as intended :)

btw, funny u should mention the ringtone issue, ive experienced the same once on this firmware! but after setting everything back to the way it was, it didnt occur anymore
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
Does anyone know what is this kernel?

http://m.huawei.com/enmobile/consumer/mobile-phones/detail/mate8-en.htm

Just go down the page and press download...

I have found and install Hiapp.apk just to see... And it show me that there is an update for stock file Explorer apk. But everything is in Chinese and i didn't download it because im afraid that maybe after update yhe program would be in Chinese only....
[Mate 8 General] Rodor:
Have you bootloader unlocked? I am waiting for this OTA update (in Switzerland)
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
For everyone who wants Huawei Hiapp and Huawei backup with or without root Chinese, Europe or international rom he can download from here https://mega.nz/#!td5lCIxR!zOpx7TnsmoXUCHhBGbuCOj4Oi6YDEja0gkdA97sVzlA

Huawei Hiapp (everything is in Chinese but you can find everything you need and after installation the language of the apps is the same as you have choose with rom) log in with Huawei ID update stock file Explorer (gives some extras) and search with the word "Huawei" it will give him the backup app for download and it works perfectly....

So now you can update to every rom install Hiapp and backup app to restore settings or make a new backup

Regarding C432B170.

Is it possible to flash the given file (C432B170 Full.zip) from this thread in TWRP and enable root.? I have an unlockedbootloader already.

Or is there a way to use it in the normal dl method, but then able to root after?

[Mate 8 General] sumer1:
Si I upgraded my rom to b170 the other day (I'm not rooted) and today when I was updated some of my playstore apps I noticed this EMU app called HICARE. I'm not sure if this is on any of the older OTA"s but the app looks pretty interesting. A few good features. It asks you to choose the region your in so may be your able to download Roms from different regions as you can change your location

Cheers.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
HiCare app is for warranty and service check
[Mate 8 General] sumer1:

[Mate 8 General] sumer1:
You're right. When I first set up my phone I got 2 updates. The first was for b152 then for b156 after that nothing. I just did a manual update to b170 the other day. I wish the software team would get their act together. They seem to remove apps and features randomly. They just need to switch to pure android so it's more uniform:)
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
B180, full update.

According to changelog, FINALLY notification problems have been fixed!!

Fixed an issue where the clock is displayed incompletely after the power plan is set to ultra in Phone Manager when the system language is set to Thai.

I'm testing C636B180 for about 12 hours... It seems so good as C10B172...i didn't find any notification issues except Viber but only with wifi (with data messages comes instantly)... WiFi auto connect works but not all times (I need more test...in 3 tests auto connect 2 times)Battery seems so good as B10C172... The good thing is that this update includes Huawei backup, Compass, Hicare but not Huawei health app... So it will be good if anyone has it and share it to install
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
i dont see a reason why it shouldnt :) downloaded B180, but as already mentioned in my pm, just dont have time to play around with my mate 8 at the moment *sigh* have to postpone that for another several weeks or so....until then a bunch of new firmwares should have arrived already :D but thats fine, im quite happy on B162, everything works as intended :)

actually, went for my first run outside this year (finally rising temps!) and i was absolutely amazed at the speed and accuracy of the GPS! i tend to track my runs and didnt have such a good experience on my previous nexus 5 (gps fix and accuracy was pretty bad...), but now im totally blown away :) finally some precise stats! :D

btw, i dont care much about those huawei apps....i tend to delete them right away every time i do a fresh install :p

Anyone have a clue? I did this with the 170 version and was fine.
[Mate 8 General] yeeyon1990:
use any file manage to open it? or download apk installer to run it. the apk is official should work.

[Mate 8 General] mrhizzo:
I did this many times. The same black screen, for long and long time, and nothing happens.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Then do factory wipe and install via recovery again. It should be fine.

Always install stock ota via stock recovery or else u will fail
[Mate 8 General] cathain:
So does the B180 only work on 4GB ram models or will it also work on 3GB model?
[Mate 8 General] yeeyon1990:
it will always to any rom regardless of ram
[Mate 8 General] mrhizzo:
I don't understand the part of stock ota via stock recovery...

Flashed B180 and noticed that there is functionality missing. On B152 I could go to Mobile Data traffic management and enable notification pull-down data usage widget but I can't find it anymore. Was it moved or removed? Anybody with any information about it? I really liked it and it is now gone :(. Also flashed update from this link (few posts back): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/d...ull/update.zip : NXT-L29C636B180 (1536MB) but my phone shows NXT-L29C900B180 is there any difference or possible problems?

Thanx for that. Mine (AL10 device) has all the stuff in your device same except for the kernel. Hm. Anyone knows where I could find the latest kernel to flash?
[Mate 8 General] dr.haitham010:
The latest firmware is c185b162
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
weird, why would u have a different kernel than him when flashing the same firmware? or maybe the B133 partition flash changed something?
[Mate 8 General] tdamocles:
How long does it take to do the update? Mine goes to 5% for at least 5-10 minutes and then I manually reboot it to get out. It just sits there saying installing update. Does leaving meta-inf folder in the dload folder affect it adversely? Do I need to factory reset b170 to update?
[Mate 8 General] sumer1:
I don't put the meta-inf folder in the dload folder just the update app. It' takes about 5 mins in total to update.
