Do I flash it by "fastboot update"? That's what I'm doing and it says invalid file. By the way I'm using Mac (but not really sure if it matters).
[Huawei GX8] redimmer:
thanks for help

but it happens when i change the screen to night mod...
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Yes i know that, try turning it off.

I guess the snapdragon 615 isn't capable of running ambient display smoothly.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Just keep pressing the display , then go to Settings :)
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
No, do this :

*your phone must be on fastboot mode*

Step one -

Extract system.img boot.img and recovery.img from the update.app you downloaded using the Huawei Extractor tool.

Step two -

Put everything on the fastboot folder and open a command line on that folder

Step three -

Type these commands into the command line

Step four - reboot your device and it should be good to go.

I hhave a feeling that you told me this but i can't remember.... Have you tried to run TWRP directly from fastboot?
[Huawei GX8] Alv4ro:
I flashed the latest kernel and it solves the battery problem as some of you said, thanks.

This what I see in the home screen settings, I can't find anything about removing the search bar. There is an option to remove Google now but apparently it doesn't involve the search bar.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
I don't think you can remove the search bar while using Google Now Launcher, on Trebuchet you just have to long press your screen and it gives you the option to remove it.

I just use Nova for the freedom to customize my launcher freely.
[Huawei GX8] ilouieagcanas:
Hi! Thanks for the instruction. I was able to flash it. But it seems like I don't have fingerprint feature with this ROM. This is a ROM from Huawei. :(

Also, how would I run TWRP from fastboot?
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Yeah, somehow i ended up like that. :crying:

You can't really register a fingerprint but you can still use the gestures.

The fingerprint scanner still works, i just don't know why it doesnt register on huawei stock roms.

Now if you want to go back to CM just do those steps on flashing TWRP (check if your bootloader is unlocked, when flashing stock it might get locked back again) and you should be good to go.

if you type on fastboot

fastboot boot name-of-the-file.img

(usually its recovery.img)

it should boot you to it without installing it.
[Huawei GX8] ilouieagcanas:
I was able to boot into twrp but I had this while installing CM. "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 Error installing zip file '/external_sd/CyanogenMod/cm-13.0-20160422-UNOFFICIAL-rio.zip". Thanks for helping me. Now I'm scared of what might happen, I'm not sure what's happening..

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

I understand now. Because I'm not using the latest TWRP.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
What's your TWRP version? Make sure you're using the updated one provided by [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION]

Ok, ignore this HAHA
[Huawei GX8] ilouieagcanas:
I think I got stucked on Huawei logo.. :crying:

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

I think, since I failed to install CM and reboot to system I got stuck in this.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
You installed the TWRP right ?

Do a full wipe, and install CM to see if the device boots up.
[Huawei GX8] ilouieagcanas:
I just run it through fastboot. Right now when I try to turn off my device it automatically turns on.

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

I will try force update. Hope it works. I think my boot loader is not working since I can boot into recovery but not into bootloader.
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
That's Bluetooth on, babbling to a watch, no cell signal just WiFi, mostly streaming video and chatting. I should be able to hit 8 hrs SOT with that use.

I think that the new kernel is working very well. :)
[Huawei GX8] kimtyson:
EarlyMon- I am also having great success with the new kernel.

Others- Can I ask that we stay on topic? There are other threads for dealing with what has been on the last two or so pages. Keep the chit chat related to Surdu's CM13, please.
[Huawei GX8] ilouieagcanas:
Yeah, sorry about that. I will stop now. :)
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
No need to sound rude, i was trying to help.
[Huawei GX8] kralkral:
i deleted 20160409 build can i flash directly 20160422 build on stock emui ?
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Yes, why not ? ... you should wipe also data , to avoid any issues :o
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
I need some help, and I posted here my requests in order to keep this thread clean and on topic !

I'll wait your answers there , thank you for your understanding and your support :o
[Huawei GX8] Grovyle:
I'm in Serbia atm without a computer but if no one answers I will do it. :)

Also, getting sudden reboots as well, running CM13 with your latest kernel. Only thing I did was underclocking and lowering min clock to 200mhz.
[Huawei GX8] kralkral:
I am asking because you suggested this method to solve status bar problem :

Flash previous rom with Gapps ( this time I wiped all apart Internal & External Storage) ,device boot fine on the previous version of cm-13.0 - than go back to TWRP and wiped : System, Cache & Dalvik-cache - > installed the new update ! Device boots fine but with some issues ... just restart device , and voilà there is no issues !

:confused:
[Huawei GX8] ilouieagcanas:
Hi! I have a question. Does it matter what ROM is currently installed on my device? Because when I try to flash CM it gave me error 7. Basically, it's telling me that my device is different ( wasn't able to take a screenshot of the logs). Take note I was able to flash CM the first time I tried it. This is when I'm still using the out of the box ROM.

I have also read here http://www.yaabot.com/8206/4-problems-flashing-custom-roms-solutions/

that I can just remove the assert since it's the one causing the error 7. I read the code and yeah, that is definitely the code that's blocking me.

I'm just concerned if it's okay for me to do that. Because I flashed CM before so my device should be compatible, right? I'm using ROI-LO1 dual sim.

Sorry for the question but I think this is okay since it's to learn what we are doing here. Thank you.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Does you already updated TWRP ? ... You have error 7 because you use a older version .
[Huawei GX8] ilouieagcanas:
I can't really update since every reboot it will override TWRP. But I tried downloading a 3.0.1-0.img from here https://dl.twrp.me/rio/. I'm not sure if it will work the same as your update but I still tried. It's still giving me the same error. This is the error that's blocking me "This package is for device: RIO-L01,hwRIO-L01; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."

The getprop for me is "rio". That's why I'm really confused of what's happening.
[Huawei GX8] Grovyle:
Hmm, try going into fastboot, then erase recovery, flash the twrp 3.0.1 recovery, then fastboot boot *name of the recovery image*?

I had the same issue as you, EMUI Recovery is probably still on my device lol
[Huawei GX8] lordxxxxx:
I have done another clean installation, got less ramdom reboots, 1 or 2, then installed build 0409 with last kernel update and no reboots, smooth like silk and solid as rock, im on twrp 3.0.1 and RIO L03 single sim
[Huawei GX8] kimtyson:
You must live a very sheltered life if you thought that was rude. I appreciate that you were trying to help but this is Surdu's thread for his CM. It's not a fix it thread.
[Huawei GX8] Captain Danger:
[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] : Thanks for the update on kernel, it fixed the tile and battery percentage issue. But the signal drop issue is still there, was it even fixed in this update?

Also I posted the snapchat camera issue a while back but no on corresponded to that. Could you also look into it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66364191&postcount=184

Thanks in advance again!! :)

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Also if someone can check the snapchat issue, just to be sure if it is only me or...?
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
If you are on a purely stock EMUI then it typically patches recovery as part of the normal boot process.

This is very common in Android, to the point that the SuperSU installer prevents that to protect TWRP.

Suggest that you first boot the basic TWRP, then install SuperSU, and then you can flash TWRP and the updates - and then install CM.

Don't erase recovery - there are TWO recoveries on your Huawei, they look similar but they are not the same. The second is labeled eRecovery at the top. You should never see it unless performing a full stock restore.

Try my suggestion, let us know if it helps installing CM. :)

See above - if you have TWRP installed you no longer have EMUI stock recovery installed - it's impossible.

You may have eRecovery - leave it alone, stay away from it, it is there to protect you if you have a complete catastrophe installing any rom - EMUI or this CM. ;)

just downloaded about 10 mins ago.still the same.

tried that. nothing

installed from sd and internal not working

newest twrp of course
[Huawei GX8] kralkral:
thank you

im cm lover

i hope bugs will be solved
[Huawei GX8] ThaSik1:
Can confirm same Error 7 message. Would tweak the updater-script myself but I'd hate to brick this device before it reaches it's full potential. I'll pull a stock build prop just to make sure the US model of the GX8 gets covered under the CM umbrella.
[Huawei GX8] micnerd1:
didnt think about that. simply can match product device and name from updater script with build prop and install the rom. will try now
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Ok, I understand !

Please, with stock Huawei rom installed into your device, go into twrp and apply these commands :

> adb shell

# getprop ro.product.model

# getprop ro.product.name

# getprop ro.product.device

# getprop ro.build.product

Please post here all four results !

( Example into my device with stock Huawei firmware : "getprop ro.product.device" -> "hwRIO-L01" )

Thank you very much !

[Huawei GX8] micnerd1:
[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] can u post updater script without model check condition ? just that file
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Just extract updater-script from cm-13.0 archive and remove the first lines with "assert" !

Ok, but you are not into TWRP , WHY ??? so, I cannot help you ...

This was my requirement :

Edit :

Checked right now, your screenshots for twrp - are not from the last update TWRP 3.0.0-0 ! The last update of my TWRP have battery percentage fixed !

In conclusion, is your fault - because you do not follow installation instructions !

Please report bugs, ONLY if you follow the installation instructions 100% .
[Huawei GX8] PERUXXO:
Excelent work en my rio-l03 single sim, performance is incredible, i edit line buildpro for sim, now work perfect.. Sorry my english

I'll post again due to My last post was a bit messy...

Known bugs :

Battery goes to 100% and gets stuck

Wi-Fi reception is a bit bad

Can't get any 4G reception

Mobile signal sometimes goes off

[Huawei GX8] Thangyorange:
Random reboots

I've been getting 3 to 4 random reboots a day that I can catch. 2 where immediately after my phone notified me for a text, I picked up the phone and it rebooted. Another time it happened in the middle of a call. The fourth time just now after sending a hangouts message. Set the phone down and walked away. Heard the "plugged in" notification a few minutes later after it booted up.

Also been having problems with Wi-Fi. It connects but has no Internet access. I turn on my laptop which h connects to the same router and it has internet. I rebooted the phone. No luck. Reset network settings. No luck. Rebooted again and Internet worked. I've been having Wi-Fi connectivity problems for a few days now. cell signal is also very poor compared to my old nexus 5.

Hope this helps! All latest updates and fixes installed. Flashlight worked for me as well following previous others suggestions on removing the tile and rebooting.
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
All of the following -

Update Chrome if you haven't already.

Settings, apps, menu, show system, clear data on Google Services Framework.

TWRP, wipe cache and Dalvik immediately after that.

If problems persist after all that, use Network Connections (Play Store) and monitor to see if you have any apps that are going crazy on the network or talking to strange servers (battery monitors can say an app is doing nothing and be completely wrong about what's on and slamming the network).

If all that fails, if it were me, I'd use either MyBackup or Titanium Backup to save apps and data, and try a clean re-install, wiping system, cache and data.
[Huawei GX8] Grovyle:
Hmm, yes, I do remember that it said eRecovery on the upper left side. Thanks for clarifying.

However, I find it strange that as soon as my system goes disfunctional, I can't access TWRP via power button + Vol Up.
[Huawei GX8] sigmarelax:
I installed the 4/22 build today and have been having a great experience with it so far. No major issues, just one random reboot. Thank you for this surdu!

As for fingerprint scanner, even if there is currently no way to get it fuly functional, maybe it could be enabled as a way to wake the device? I enjoyed having it for this purpose with EMUI. Just a hopeful suggestion. Thanks again for all your work
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
Yeah, I'm familiar with the theory - it's not as strange as you think. I know others with the same problem, I have one Huawei that reverses the buttons - have to hold both volume keys to get to TWRP and only one for eRecovery (I'm not alone on that) while others lose the button functions altogether.

Same crowd that came up with EMUI and the weird dual recovery came up with the bootloader - no surprise it's inconsistent.

Best bet in CM13 is to go to the power menu settings and turn on advanced reboot - then you can choose to reboot to system, bootloader, or recovery and it's not strange at all - very reliable.

If you really bork your rom here's a pro tip that Huawei gave me - hold both volume buttons and power it on by plugging into a USB port (not the power button). That almost always gets you to the bootloader, you can boot TWRP from there and then fix your CM installation.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
I have no camera issue, like in your post ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66364191&postcount=184 ) , that's why I didn't answer .

All others issues ( like signal drop issue and many others ) maybe will be fixed after I'll receive the requested information here !

All CM-13.0's users are invited to comply with this request in the available free time ( there is no rush ) ... but as soon as I get more information from you, I can start fixed more issues !

Thanks in advance !
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
What's the issue? I didn't answer because I couldn't see on my phone what the problem is... :confused:

Is the thing at the bottom a fence or the issue?
[Huawei GX8] Captain Danger:
Yeah that is the issue. It just stretches the image it self. Only in snapchat camera.
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
Ok. There is more than one way to get to the camera. Here's what both the stock (Snap) and Google cameras see -

So far, so good.

Here's what a different API reports - front and back cameras shown in order -

So either Snapchat is not robust or something is tangled and not reporting properly.

CPU-X shows that Snapchat ought to be getting the right information for the front camera but not the back camera.

As both front and back have the issue, not sure what to suggest yet...
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
I'm checking out the camera configuration files, I make no promises but I'll see what I can do about that one API anyway.

Speaking of cameras, took this with the stock CM camera (Snap) and edited it with the stock photo editor, my first time trying it.

Sorry about the Tapatalk app compression but it still shows why editing is a great idea and how effective the CM tools are!
[Huawei GX8] ilouieagcanas:
Hi! Thank you for your answer. But it didn't work for me. I even tried renaming both install-recovery-original.sh and install-recovery.sh from system/etc and system/bin but still every time I boot on recovery it's still giving me the stock recovery. :( I'm still working on it though.
[Huawei GX8] Captain Danger:
You quoted the wrong post I guess.
[Huawei GX8] sigmarelax:
I get a reboot every time I turn off wifi and then lock the phone. Seems to happen immediately after it is locked. I tried to turn airplane mode on, then wifi on, and then wifi off and the reboot still occurred. (Tangentially- the advanced wifi setting about sleep seems to do nothing). Perhaps this is related to the other radio issues, but I figured I would post about this in case it isn't

Whenever i put my finger or my hand over the antenna near the headphone jack the WiFi simply shuts down.... Has anyone ever seen this before?
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
I was able to make that happen but I had to play quite a bit to find the grip that did it reliably.

Don't hold it wrong? :D :D j/k I've seen similar on other phones.

[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] fwiw I know one guy who did a dirty flash from 0409 to 0422 with kernel 2 and he's not having the problem with wifi off, lock, reboot. Hope that helps.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Is it a hardware problem? Or can it be fixed?
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
It's a hardware characteristic. Your version may have a different antenna layout than mine but that would really surprise me.

Any radio antenna can be blocked.

That said I haven't seen it before and I've had mine since I think July of last year, maybe later. And it wasn't easy to do on mine.

Because of that I would recommend that you check and make sure you're not on a crowded WiFi channel. If you are that will certainly affect the robustness of your signal.

Check out "Wifi Analyzer" it's very good

[Huawei GX8] Thangyorange:
Camera zoom

I noticed when zooming in to 6x on the camera at 13MP, the image is pixelated until you scroll to see the actual photo. Vs the 6MP the image before snapping the photo seems very crisp. Comparing the two actual photos though the 13MP is better.

Thanks I couldn't figure out why so many random reboots. Read that getting reboot after turning off Wi-Fi. Since I have profiles, every time my phone connects to my car Bluetooth I have it turn off Wi-Fi. So phone reboots every time I get in my car. This explains the majority of reboots. Can't figure out the others. Still getting lagging and weird pickups on SwiftKey.

Charging and sim problem

Hello everybody,

great job so far!

But I still have some issues. The most importants are:

1. charging accu only when the device is power-off

2. I have to re-insert the simcard everytime when rebooting my g8

Nice to have:

3. Camera-App has not the option to shoot photos with 13MP in fullscreen-mode (only 4:3)

4. it is not possible to set provider-mailbox-number on speed dial key "1"

Best regards

[Huawei GX8] redimmer:
hi everyone.

i realized that the ois(optical stablizer)doesnt work on the cm camera.

is this an issue or i must enable it somehow?
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
That's exactly correct and the same as it was on the stock rom.

The sensor size and shape are physically fixed.

4:3 is 16:12 (just multiply by 4).

To go from 16:12 to 16:9, one quarter of the image is cropped off by the camera on the stock rom leaving you a quarter less than 13 MP, approximately 10 MP. (There are 40 to 50 pixels to play with on the extreme edges (about 1% of the sensor at the edges) as you'll find with different camera apps but overall you can't affect the physical limitations with software.)

It's just how it is - [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] did a great job getting a working camera without all of the pieces from Huawei.

I think that almost stopping hummingbird wings and still having clarity on a crop of down to 2.55 MP (less than 20% of the sensor) shows what a great job Petru did and how much quality to expect even without OIS.

Maybe someday...
