[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] vaibhavpandeyvpz:
Most of us often want to add custom functionality to an existing apk and know how to do it in java, but don't know the exact dex/smali syntax. Trying to add this, there, test, error, debug, fix & hopefully getting it to work is common. To solve all of that trouble, I bring you this.

I made these little scripts to add an extension to Windows explorer shell for doing a task most people couldn't just do this easy. So now can just write your functionality in java, right-click the file & click Convert To *.smali and tada! You have the dex/smali compatible code which you can then paste it into your apk smali file.

Installation:

Download the attachment & extract the archive.

Run install.cmd as Administrator to install Windows Explorer shortcut.

You can also darg-n-drop files on convert.cmd to convert them.

I check the update function on my phone regularly since I bought it a couple of weeks ago and still no update.

Is it normal? I saw other thread talking about B156 and B162 and I am not sure if they are the update version or not.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomad4ever:
I would be interested in that topic also. Got the device today, same firmware.. No updates available when clicking check update.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themissionimpossible:
This is your Mate 8 model:

NXT-L29C636

You can get official OTA updates for this model only.

Other version numbers (B152, B156, B160, etc) might refer to other Mate 8 models (different market areas).

Installing different ROM versions is possible but must be done flashing manually.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kefrayba:
Thank you for clarifying. I think I will wait for the OTA update.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beachletter:
Technically you're not forcing an update, but switching to another version of rom which has a more recent build number. You may (or may not) run into bugs when switching between rom updates designed for different markets (e.g. from C636 to C900), even if they both belongs to the 'international' (L29) version of the phone. Even if you don't run into bugs, the update may install radio firmware that is not optimized for your country, which could affect connectivity performance.

I'm still on L29C636B103 and waiting for OTA. Newer builds for L29C636 is not yet available for some reason. I think the C636 corresponds to a minor market so Huawei put it further down the line when creating newer builds. Just guessing.

In which country did you buy your phone and in which country you got the update? I have same firmware (b103), bought in Cambodia, now I'm in Vietnam, but no update (b170) is showing for me.

I liked the Huawei Cambodia FB group and put a comment asking for their updates in every of their Mate 8 marketing posts. Although they usually reply on FB to customer questions, in my case they never replied anything.

After downloading the OTA file, instead of reboot, connect to PC and copy the file from parent directory and upload for other users who can use and flash and update.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smurgier:
One quick thing I didn't notice before: the new ROM add fingerprint sensor interaction (like honor 7): you can sweep down the sensor to open the notification screen, double tap to erase notification, also sweep left to right or right to left to change photo with the galery app. Not a bad addition isn't it ?

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsiglas:
Yes I have done this and works great but my model is C636 I don't know anything about other version like C185 C432 or C900.

Make sure to have a clean instalation because with dirty there are a lot of problems with notifications... I do a dirty and now after 5 days with problems with notifications that all cames when I turn on the screen I'm starting to figure out that it has to be the dirty instalation.... When I clear the cashe and data from phone manager stock app and set again all the necessary setting I start to have instantly notification from Facebook, messenger, tweeter, Instagram but for now no stock mail app and Viber that I want to reinstall then and try again. (the tests I made was withwith the device for 30 minutes sleeps)

And if you have the same version(L29C636B) then yes you will get OTA.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cathain:
So has anyone gotten this OTA yet? Why does it take so long to get it OTA?

So I finally got sick of waiting for OTA and installed this. Everything seems great so far., hopefully my 10% battery drain overnight is fixed now. What did you mean when you said to do a clean install, do you mean reset the phone?

Edit: I don't seem to have the Huawei health app that is supposed to be included?

Sorry but health app comes only with OTA.. we don't know why...

Now listen carefully I have to tell you that there is a new perfect update for our version that you don't want to miss it. It fixes all notification problems is C636B180... You can install it from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66215533&postcount=669 with the same simple method (dload)... And if you find time is good to take backup with Huawei backup app and do a factory reset.... Not nownow... When you have time... But don't forget to install the new update... It's perfect... You can follow the "Ota link server" in general discussion to watch for new updates but stay only in C636 version

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsiglas:
Go to post #66 download B180 install with dload method and don't wait Huawei to send you the update...and if send you what update? B170 or B180... This rom (B180) is 100% better of B103 and 30%better of B170... And with this rom you will still can take OTA updates in the future... You will get crazy with the difference of battery and notifications... Don't wait any more....
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tucker2:
Thank you for your advice but i'm newbie with this phone and i really don't want to brick or harm phone etc.Also as i checked the recent topics of the Mate 8, i couldn't see the exact information about Dload Method.

What is the requirements of this installing process (dload) ? Can you give me clear and exact information ? Thanks.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsiglas:
It's so so simple.... You first download the rom from the link above(about 45 minutes) to your mobile(there is no need to use PC) After download you will get "update. zip" file and you have to extract zip file so you hold down the file to be selected and then choose "extract here". After extract you will get the folder "C636B180" and inside you will have 2 files

1.update app

2.Meta info

We just need this 2 files (1,2) to be in a new folder in internal or external SD card named "dload" so create a new folder in one of memory card and rename it to dload and put inside the 2 files (update app & Meta info).

Close - deactivate the phone and wait 10 seconds.

Press at the same moment "volume up & volume down & power) and when you see the Huawei image release all of them...

That's it... The update has start and it takes about 5 minutes to finish... Wait until the phone open normally and ask you for pin codes..

Now you just have the newest firmware for our device... If you do it one time you will see how easy it is....No one has complain with this method phone brick or problems
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tucker2:
So this means that i'm not need root or twrp to install this ?

Is there any thing posibble going wrong and make phone harm ?

As you said in the previous message, Will i get OFFICIAL OTA UPDATES in future normally ? (like i didnt do this - dload thing)

And thanks for your patiance and explanation !
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsiglas:
There is zero possibility to harm the phone... If you mess up the procedure you will just see "error" and ask you to reboot to your previous versions...

Look this is very important Your version is "L29C636" and if you flash any firmware that starts with "L29C636" you will get OTA including guarantee... But if you flash a firmware that for example start with "L29C432 or L29C185 or L29C900 or L29C10" it will work everything ok but you will loose OTA.

Just to let you know I have flash all the firmware off all 5 aboabove versions because the serious problem with notification. All of them works in our mobile the same good as our original version...

Now im on B180 rom and without factory reset everything looks right but if its needed im gonna do it tomorrow.Also when i was on B103 there was something wrong with software about battery.I had battery drain from Android System (About 60-80% usage of battery) and now after i installed B180 its about 30 - 40% usage.

Next days i will check, try and push hard this rom and i will write here how it is.

Hi again, yesterday after i installed B180, made a factory reset and installed everything again in case.Now it's so clear to say, notificaion issues goes away and obviously phone is more stable.But still i got 10% drain at night (only sync open), is this normal ? or how much do your phones drains in a night ? Also after i installed B180 Android System usage was like 30-40% but when i woke up this morning and check it from battery manager, again it was 72% usage.Is this normal too ? My father has a LG V10 and when i check its Android System usage its only 5% percent.lol
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themissionimpossible:
That percentage is a relative value, i.e. relative to other battery draining components.

Generally speaking, this means that if a component were hypothetically the only one consuming battery it might even reach 100%... what is actually important is how much battery it drains in terms of absolute value (which might be even minimal...).

But in your specific case the Android System percentage does become important because it's associated to an overall high value of overnight battery drain (10%)! :(

Well, then you can check if you have mobile data always on enabled also under wifi connection, and/or if you have the Wifi+ setting enabled.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tucker2:
Got it.Well, mobile data and wifi is always on but when i leave phone at nights i turn off both mobile data and wifi.Also I never use Wifi+.

Yesterday when i was installing B180 it has got 80% battery level and after installation B180 i get all my apps (nearly 20) and made all settings about phone, drained 10% at night and NOW i got 2.20h SOT and %59 battery percentage, thats nearly satisfying but this Android System usage makes me mad :/
