[Mate 8 General] malekowsky:
You can indeed use TWRP to install it
[Mate 8 General] malekowsky:
You must be having some apps draining up the battery buddy. I am on latest update and all is fine here with battery thus far.

Anyone who know how to install update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip with stock recovery

B180 , it has 2 files update.zip I can upzip and install via dload , the second file update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip that contain /data folder in zipfile.

it has more customization for specifi for my country.
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
Do you know how to install update_data_full_hw_meafnaf.zip on stock recovery ? I try to download full package from ota .it contain update.zip and update_data_full_hw_meafnaf.zip . after install I think Mate 8 can install both file automatic. I don't know how to force install it without ota.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Always download full package and unzip into dload folder on sdcard

Then use *#*#2846579 to Go to submenu and software upgrade from sdcard
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
I understand that method , but after I try download full package it download 2 files

- update.zip

- update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip

if we use automatic process from system it install both file.

I know how to install update.zip via dload but if I want to manual install update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip with stock recovery , that if my question
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Same way buddy. There's no different way.

Stock recovery doesn't allow manual flashing like twrp does.

Or use twrp, if.unlocked
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
No, don't know the structure of update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip . Never mind . I know stock recovery can't install but may something with stock recovery can ? :) I try to find.
[Mate 8 General] tucker2:
As you can see on screenshots i dont have any battery killer apps/usage.I wish i would have some apps which are draining battery but i dont have any :/
[Mate 8 General] sand_ phoenix:
Don't unzip update.zip and update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip. Put them into dload or HwOUC folder (try both) and install using the engineering menu (*#*#2846579#*#*).

Hi everyone

I just have a quick question ...

I was on C185B162 and I updated to C185B180 using TWRP

on about phone page everything seems to be in order as you can see below

But when I go into project menu and get version info it says that my phone is on C900B180 ????

[emoji15]

How is that possible??

Is this normal or did I do something wrong??
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
probably because u flashed through TWRP. no worries though, C900 is just the global region designation.... :)
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
C900 is the base which is one and the same for whole Mate 8 lot. Area code change along with optimization and small small changes
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
Don't work.

I have L29C636B180 FW from the first day. I had also use L29C636B103, L29C636B170, L29C432B170, L29C10B170 and I have to tell you that this is the best rom of all. Not too much different in battery with B170 version but with B103 it's day and night... My advice is to make a factory reset, re-install L29C636B180 FW make again factory reset and be careful of what apps you use...

Thanks for your answer and sharing your experiences with roms.Since friday i solved the drain problem with using a fresh google account and now its look like okay.I wrote what i did in Battery Life Thread.

That means you had sync issues ;)
[Mate 8 General] tucker2:

my point merely being, that huawei is actually amazingly productive in pushing out regular updates in short intervalls...
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
I updated and here is my battery iteration. From 100 to 25% with 8hours of screen time.

Quick question.

I have the L29C432B162 rom installed. Full stock no custom firmware or custom recovery. Can i use the dload method to Install the latest B180? (i know it's from a different reagion code) (i also don't have an unlocked .

I installed a few roms before using the dload method before but was always c432 to c432. (because it was taking forever for me to get the OTA)

Thanks.

[Mate 8 General] borsodi:
Dear All,

I would like to ask you if I can manually update my current rom l29c432b152 to the newer version and which exactly? There are so many different types of firmware discussed here and I honestly got confused.

I do not have unlocked bootloader and device is not rooted for the purpose of warranty I would like to keep everything in such condition that would not be questioned in case the phone has to go to official service.

The main reason I would like to update it is to improve notifications or even hopefully get rid of that problem once and for good.

I appreciate your understanding and help.
[Mate 8 General] sumer1:
This is the most recent update http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/d...ull/update.zip NXT-L29C185B180 FULL 1.4GB

unzip and place the unzipped files in the dload folder in your internal storage. If you don't have the folder, create it. Restart the phone holding the volume up and down and power button. It will then apply the update.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
um....that wont do him much good, since hes on a locked bootloader. u can only flash firmwares with the same regional code if ure full stock...
[Mate 8 General] sumer1:
I flashed and i'm on a locked bootloader!!!!
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
did u, by chance, have a C185 firmware to begin with? ^^
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:

Come on guys don't mess up things..

You can cross flash C432, C636, C10 roms with full stock but as far as I know you can't cross flash C185 version with any of the above versions (cross flash means that you can install rom from other versions)

Let borzoi try and if installation failed (as I can see he has European version C432) then he has to install the latest L29C636B180 Firmware that works perfect and manage notifications real well and is 100% compatible with C432 version from here with dload method http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66215533&postcount=669
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
huh, looks like we were both right and wrong then, good to know ^^ im not too knowledgeable on these things since i unlocked and rooted the very first day i got my device ^^
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
I agree with tsiglas bruda.

C185 needs same while.Others are all.same.

;) C185 is unique and is the highest selling international model.
[Mate 8 General] :
Hey Guys. I was afk a long time.

Sorry if i dont read the whole thread... but there is a B180? NAICE! For L-29? NAICE. C432? or only 636? (i know both work for me but i would prefer 432...)

btw. i dont know which rom was NORMAL for me.... any chance to find this out? thx greez
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
C636 and C185, but the latter has the newer basebands, kernel and security patch :)

[Mate 8 General] borsodi:
Hi All,

I have managed to update my phone according to instructions provided by tsiglas. Unfortunately I have a problem with wallpaper - if I set any (even the previous that was set before the update) there is a black stripe on the left side. There is no such stripe only when I use default huawei wallpapers. That stripe is "part" of the wallpaper, all the icons are in correct place. I tried changing the wallpaper - no luck. Could anyone help, has anyone came across such problem?
[Mate 8 General] sumer1:
I think that happened to me before. Do you have more than one gallery app to choose wallpapers? I think if I choose the huawei app it worked but with another app like quickpic it didn't or vice versa. You could also try clearing your system cache. That might help.
[Mate 8 General] borsodi:
Yes, I have Nova Luncher so probably it is in some-kind conflict with stock app that manages wallpapers.

How can I clear cache?

Is there any way to choose only one app governing wallpapers?
[Mate 8 General] sumer1:
I use nova launcher as well. I think I used quickpic to choose a wallpaper in nova.

To clear the cache using stock recovery reboot holding the volume up and down and power. Once in the recover choose clear cache. Make sure you don't have anything in the dload folder as it's gonna want to flash/ update the firmware again.
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
Go in Nova to start screen settings than to scroll settings for background than thick forced scrolling background go back to your home screen and you see the background wallpaper is OK.. But go back to the settings and chose no background scrolling because you will have another system animations
[Mate 8 General] tdamocles:
Does the european version have double tap to wake? I have the Asian version and it doesn't have that option. So I can cross flash using dload method with locked bootloader a european version and it won't f*** anything up?

No and yes.

B308 is in beta testing. Hopefully it should be out by the end of May. It's for the Chinese models.
[Mate 8 General] Bratty2k7:
Is c432b180 more up to date than c636b180?

Only just realised that c636 is Asia and c432 Europe

As I'm in the UK (and have c636b180) would I benefit more from updating to c432? And is updating from c636 to c432 via dload possible?

Thanks
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
wow thats a crazy version jump! 6.0.1 coming? :) or maybe even N beta? :D
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
no need to update to c432b180 , it's ok for c636b180
[Mate 8 General] :
C432B180? Did I miss something?
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
I don't think we miss something...As far as I know they are talking about something that doesn't exist!

There is no C432B180 version... Only C636 & C185 The latest rom for C432 is B170

So if my friend wants to update his C432 version and he wants the latest rom he has to install C636B180 instead

[Mate 8 General] Bratty2k7:
Hi, before you start, make sure your dload folder is empty, download the b180 update, (it should go to your download folder in files, local storage, internal memory) extract the file in your download folder, once extracted move to dload....

I'm just guessing but maybe you still have b170 inside dload

(You can delete update files in download and dload folders once updated)

On b162 was 6 hours sot On 48 hours of single charge

On b180 is 8 hours sot On 48 hours of single charge

My usage is web browsing using opera , YouTube watching , face book navigation , calls.

Which meaning all my use without calling depends on net and my device lasting 2 days in which nearly 11 hours mobile data on and the rest times nearly 37 hours WiFi on.

Calls nearly from 30 minutes to one hour.

Location on using power save mode.

Power profile is smart

Screen brightness is auto .

My advice is to install L29C636B180 firmware with dload method and not unlock bootloader and root... Is maybe the

best rom with very good battery and no notifications issues.

I have read that huawei is preparing B3XX versions that might be android 6.0.1 so my advice is to stay stock and play with the latest roms of C636 - C432 - C10 firmwares... Except if root is so important to you... I cant help you with root method (you have to make questions in the specific thread) because I'm full stock
