Just the android security patch updated to June, 5th......
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
I heart that's the last update for emui 5 and the next update will be emui 5.1 but if it's true I don't know.... xD
[Mate 8 General] speechless:
Mate 8 should have android 8?
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
Yeah definitely lol...

I'm still on version NXT-L29C636B193 (June 2016)... ?

I'm weary about upgrading via Firmware Finder as it sounds risky...

Anyone know when abouts Huawei will finally update me to Nougat?
[Mate 8 General] mseif:
Is tehre a link to read comparsion berween the 2 ROMs ?
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I don't know, it wasn't the question I was helping you with
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
To know which Rom is the best one, use update feature and whatever comes up, is the best one for your mobile.

If nothing comes up, you are already on the.best.

;)
[Mate 8 General] mseif:
You are talking about OTA update, but I knew there are stock rom availabe for upgrade usong the PC, so, is there a harm for me to try it , since it is from the manufacturer and does not need root ?

In this thread there are B320 Rom for me and it is official/stock but it seems it is not on OTA yet.

So, I assume this staock rom is a reaosnable update , am I wrong?
[Mate 8 General] dante-fu:
3XX is beta (alpha?) firmware. There is no point updating to it unless you are obsessed with having the highest version number available.

Many people here with limited technical knowledge flash left and right. It's causing more harm than good.

There are actually features that are locked in these test ROMs.

B180 is the best thing we have for now. Maybe B19X if it goes OTA.
[Mate 8 General] mseif:
I though it is final and official produced by the manufacturer. I have some issues with the hi usage of my RAM, most of the time is around 70%, whaile exactly the same apps on my pervious htc one e9+ with aso 3 Gb RAM, never exceeded 60%, so I though the new ROM may have a better control .
[Mate 8 General] dante-fu:
That's still low. RAM should not be free.

Free RAM is wasted RAM :)
[Mate 8 General] brambi42:
Tks.

NTX-C900B180

Which type of update I need to use? Tks
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
If you have that it means your phone has been rebranded, it has already been flashed with a sw that is for an other region. Is your phone unlocked bootloader and custom recovery?
[Mate 8 General] brambi42:
No root, no unlock bootloader. Buyed on Amazon. I dont know more. Whitch type of fw I need to flash, for your opinion?
[Mate 8 General] Mostar088:
To view the cust of your mobile, you can entry in engineer mode *#*#2846579#*#* go to network information query, and later, pulse in vendor country info to display your cust.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Try OTA first as it's always reliable.
[Mate 8 General] _Benj_13:
When is the next C636 update... with June security patch? The B321 is not a good update than B180.

Sent from Mate 8
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I would say stay on 180 of your not having any critical problem.
[Mate 8 General] johnnyky:
what stock rom should i install??

hellos guys,

so i buy my Mate 8 in colombia and it comes whit NXT-L09C25B120, i bought it in CLARO (operator in colombia) and it cames with all the bloatware of this company i don't want all that garbage in my phone. so i want to install a clean Stock rom for my MATE 8.

witch rom would work on my mate 8, i just read some post and is says that some people change the rom and they lost the theme app and 4G, i don't want to lose anything.

i hope you guys could give a hand.

Cheers,
[Mate 8 General] dlhak:
Huawei is working on EMUI 5.0 which due in September, rumors say it is a near stock android rom, without bloatware. So we'll have to wait and see.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Welcome to.the forum mate johnny

You will have to unlock boot then flash any L09 Rom as your region isn't available on Huawei.

EMUI 5 is already up in beta. Let's wait and watch.
[Mate 8 General] Grandcru99:
I don't know what all people have against Emui 4. It is far better than any other android Derivate. The mate 8 is the first phone that I didn't root and even felt not the desire to do so. I didn't install my usual apps and customizations like nova launcher or diskmaid. Simply because I am very comfortable with the stock experience.

By the way, if you constantly switch the roms there will be some hassle.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Same here grand buddy
[Mate 8 General] Ceon46:

[Mate 8 General] Mostar088:
Have u recived any OTA since u bought it?
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
No...? it's been running the same version at B139 since day one.

So I'm not sure if I will recieve any official OTA... I may have to manually update...
[Mate 8 General] Mostar088:
U have the Asian version C636 and i asume that u dont live in Asia?
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
I am not in Asia... I am in the UK...

Could that be the reason why I haven't recieved any updates? On the C636...

I thought others also haven't recieved any updates on C636 even though there are updates shown on Firmware Finder.

Or are all the updates betas? Including the EMUI 4.1 versions as I'm on Emui 4.0...
[Mate 8 General] Mostar088:
I had the same problem with my P9 Plus C636. I live in Sweden and never recived OTA to it. I bought a prepaid HK simcard on eBay and that maid the trick for me to recive OTA. Or u can use FF and update manually.
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
It's very annoying how the phone doesn't update regardless... I have a Sony Xperia XA Ultra which updates fine even though it's a Hong Kong bought phone too.

If I were to update using Firmware Finder, would I just choose an earlier version of the OS such as B211 which is December patch EMUI 4 and then let it auto find OTA for Nougat? Should I install via proxy?

Thanks for the advice :laugh:
[Mate 8 General] Mostar088:
Yes, first go to B211 full ota by FF then check OTA for Nougat. If the updater does not find Nougat after u updated to B211 check in HiCare app if it founds it there.

If not upgrade manually to Nougat with FF. When u go to Nougat it has to be FullOTA-MF-PV

And yes install via proxy.
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
Thank you very much.

I will likely go ahead with it... But I'm just worried that there will be problems if I decided to do a factory reset once I've updated to nougat as I've read someone here in XDA facing issues once they did a factory reset in nougat.

Also... How likely is it of there being an error during installation? That would break my device and force me to root it?

Additionally, do I need to tick OEM unlock in the developer settings? As I heard this helps me to recover from a brick? But will this void my warranty? Or lose my ability to use Android Pay?

Thanks (sorry for the list of questions) ?
[Mate 8 General] Mostar088:
Its always god to thick on OEM unlock before u flash the phone, u can always turn it of when u r done, no it will not void your warranty. I dont use Android Pay so i dont know but as i said u can always turn it off when your done.

If u do it the right way the chance that something goes wrong is small but be sure to Read the info before u do it.

U should change proxy and port. Search for update in Updater in Settings. When it finds it do not upgrade, go back a step and click on Menu and choose to Download latest full package and then start the update. Press Paus, go back to Wifi Settings and remove proxy and then resume the upgrade.
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
Thank you for the advice...

I will look into the OEM unlock first...

Then I'll likely go ahead and try it... As well as look up battery life.

I'll be sure to press pause after starting the download and then remove the proxy(I didn't know to do this before)

Thanks again ?

Hello, can you go from a C636B180 to a C636B585 directly by FF
[Mate 8 General] gygt928:
I need it, too.

The most links for NXT-L09C636B191 do not work now.:crying:

Does anyone would provide the mirro link for L09C636B191 offical full ota ？Or provide the file directly?

My phone is L09C636B580 now, I want to rollback to L09C636B191.

Thanks a lot.:)
[Mate 8 General] A.lemane:
How did u install b581 using twrp coz I can't

What's ur version ?
[Mate 8 General] c|nder:
Twrp does not work for upgrades ... Must go thru updater or if u are sucessfull flashing update.Zip and date ... Zip. Must relock boot loader and factory reset it . chances are the factory reset will have broken links and possibly features won't work.
[Mate 8 General] danywalkert:
Read carefuly!

Where did you get that i installed 581 using TWRP!?

Right now I am on L09 C432 B320 firmware, there is a way to go up to nougat by OTA but I rolled back because nougat consumes a lot more battery than marshmallow.

https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/guide-how-to-switch-to-stock-firmware-t3374259 = If you follow this instructions, you can go up to 580 by OTA, it could be 581 if you convert it to C636 but you have to read carefully and follow instructions to the letter, it definitely works but if you do something wrong you may brick your device and spend some stressing hours bringing back your device to life.
[Mate 8 General] A.lemane:
already there (B581)

anyway , i was just trying to find a way to restore stock without backup or fastboot

it wont consume that much if u do a lot of tweaks on it witch what i extremely do ^^
[Mate 8 General] childoftheworld:
Anyone have L29C636B585 (also applies to L29C636B580) and still experience battery drain? :(
[Mate 8 General] •XPLOITZ•:
i have NXT-L29C636B585 and i'm very happy the battery works good, the best Nougat update to the battery life.

sorry for my bad english.
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
Hi there

Could you post some screenshots of typical battery life?

I'm a little weary about updating to B585 due to the battery life.

Also on the about phone menu in the settings, what does it day under the section android version? Does it say testkeys anywhere?

Thanks :)
[Mate 8 General] •XPLOITZ•:
Hi,i posted some screenshots, i used my phone DURING 2h 40min OF CONTINUOUS USE, recording videos, editing the videos, using whatsapp and facebook, listening to music, and the best part i've played Vainglory during 40 min, and only lose 19% of battery life :), with others builds with the same time of continuous use and the same apps, i lose 35%-40%, so i think with the normal use in 2h 40 min without continuous use,without playing games, i'll lose 5%-10% or less, im very happy this update works very well for me, about test-keys , i can't find it anywhere.

sorry for my bad english.
[Mate 8 General] •XPLOITZ•:
This is a screenshot with a daily normal use.
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
Thanks for the screen shots. Did you change some settings for this amazing battery life?

Also, did you do a factory reset?

This makes me a lot more comfortable to upgrade from NXT-L29C636B193.... Still on EMUI 4.0.

Also could you post a pic of on screen time? So clicking on the screen bit of the battery consumption boxes... That is clearer for me to see how long your screen was on for.

How did you get to B585? Did it come to you via OTA? Or did you have to manually upgrade to 563 before getting 585? Have you manually updated any roms in the past on your mate 8?

I really want to upgrade to B585 but I'm worried about battery life and if something goes berserk...

Did you enable OEM unlock in the dev settings?

Thanks once again (so many questions!) :)
[Mate 8 General] ronnie72:
For optimal battery life, "Awake" and "Screen on" need to be the same/equal. :)
[Mate 8 General] jirka607:
Please guys can you help me find culprit of my battery drain?

And other question would the battery be really better if i downgrade to B380 as that is latest marshmallow for my AL10?

Because i dont think this is normal battery life for this device.

Thank you
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:

how to downgrade my ROM from B585

Any of you guys here know how to downgrade back to anything rather than B585? I am on L26C636B585, Asia region, my friend tells me he got bad battery and freezing here and there on B585, ask me not to use it yet.

I haven't root or flash anything yet, it's very stock now

Thanks guys

I have looked for the firmware stock for the NXT-L29C432B581 but I don't succeed in finding him/it. Does someone have a link?

Thanks.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
use the tool "huawei firmware finder" to download the firmware
[Mate 8 General] pegasoc:
Thanks, I didn't know this tool.

I/you/they have succeeded in restoring my Mate 8.

1. Is it a slow po as I would want to make the wipe, must not I save any datum, would I want to clean I sink him/it, that lathes as new, that wipe I must select?

2. When it was original do I remember me that I could choose that the screen no he ever extinguished, this option there is not now more, thing I can do?

3. Is not the bluetooth activated, thing I can do?

4. Right now I have the bootloader unlocked. To get just the root what should I do?
[Mate 8 General] Ercelan:
hello everyone,

i have c185b200 Marshmallow version, and when i update to b560 or b580 Nougut my phone stops charging, it won't connect to pc either, all i can do is to charge phone after turning it off via laptop.

then i have to roll back to marshmallow to make it working again.

can i install a different region firmware to check whether it might work with different region firmware???

i have tried resetting my phone after update.
[Mate 8 General] ferez:
Hi,

I'm currently on NXT-AL10C00B589 (Nougat), my phone is not rooted and I want to downgrade to Marshmallow , which file should I download?

Iv'e tried downloading and installing a couple of the older versions of the AL10 firmware, but trying to install them in my device, it always stops at 5% and tells me the version is not compatible.

Currently, my device cannot be recognized by any PC, and full charging takes 12 hours but that's an issue for a different thread i guess, unless somebody has a solution here (will buy a beer to whoever can help me solve that).

Kinda lost, appreciate your help
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Have you tried through HiSuite? Best and easiest way.

[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
What is this? When i those use its said the quota is exhausted :laugh:

Edit..this message comes only in hicare not in system update or hisuite on PC..
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
im guessing theyre rolling out this OTA in waves and the quote for the first wave has been exhausted.....?

btw, whats the changelog? translation at hand?

edit: ok, used google translate to check your screenshots [MENTION=4853531]daser4berlin[/MENTION]

"added camera dynamic photo function....will shoot the life bit by bit into the album and refined into a wonderful video" - meh

"optimize the camera self-timer mirror switch, free to choose the most beautiful self-portrait" - meh

"optimize system performance and stability, so that your mobile phone running more smoothly" - always nice, but VERY general description :p

"stable optimization of student mode function" - ?

"add a shortcut to the desktop, the use of more easy to join the Google security patch" - now THATS interesting :) download and install security patches independently from the system ROM!

"improve system security" - updated Security patch, probably July or August

"Repair can not use the voice assistant to open the flashlight" - Fix

thats it.
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
Yeah i know that they rolling out the updates in waves.. The funny thing is when i go yet to hicare it's show no update.. And normally then u receive in hicare an update after that it will show in system update too but we will see.. I think Firmware finder is not longer need because Huawei changed there updated Politik and this new update b592 is not a viable in firmware finde.. Let's see what will come in the future.. Sry for my bad English..xD..Greetings
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Got it. Its there.now in Hicare. B592
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
So after few hours i can download it.. The download speed is very slow.. Although i have a 100k line :confused:

This time the quota was 12280 from 18000...:victory:

Edit.. Sry first pic is wrong
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
Boys and Girls that is interesting... Look at the Screenshot and the emui version :eek:
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
wow, this is VERY interesting indeed. i really hope this isnt some kind of "last breath" firmware for our beloved mate 8 though.... one last triumph before its let to die :/
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
According to Huawei we get oreo for mate 8 after the mate 10 with emui 6 / oreo / is released.. I hope that's true...
[Mate 8 General] anwedr:
The update bundled the Quik app. Time to uninstall.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
source? :confused:
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
Can't remember when I find it I post it..
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
whats that quik app and why is it so bad? also, why dont u just delete it vs. uninstalling the whole system?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
quick app? i dont see any?
[Mate 8 General] anwedr:
Apparently huawei and Go Pro made an agreement to bundle this app for the upcoming Mate 10 and with EMUI updates.

It's a video editor for GoPro users.

Am I the only one who has this bundled with B592?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
I did not get it....strange....updated from B589 to B 592
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
anyone got the firmware without having to go through huawei ID? dont like the fact that id basically give huawei all my info...
[Mate 8 General] Rodor:
Here also no b592:(
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
What I meant is that I have updated from B589 to B592 through Hicare but did not get any quick app installed..
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
What region is getting B592 right now?

Skickat från min HUAWEI NXT-L29 via Tapatalk
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
all china phones: AL10, TL00, DL00, CL00, but only through HiCare App installed via App Store. So its not coming through System Updater.

By the way, download quota has been cancelled and its now set to unlimited, so everyone can install it :)
[Mate 8 General] Rodor:
Also via hicare "no update available" so I have to wait..
[Mate 8 General] blinkt88:
Do you maybe know which chines firmware i means model is best i today go debrand my phone

www.facebook.com/groups/huaweifanclub
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
For debranding, AL10 n DL10 are good. AL will give you single SIM and you will have to flash old CUST file to get both SIM working. In DL00 everything works.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:

[Mate 8 General] aaron13:
I searched but my firmware is not mentioned: NXT-L29C652B101

Can this be added?
[Mate 8 General] Borzz:
You can try to cross flash updated roms for other regions you can try with no risk but only with dload method that if one version isn't for your phone it will just inform you "incompatible version" and ask you to restart with out change anything (I'm not advice you to do it with twpr because with it you can install every rom and you might brick your phone)

First try C636B321 (it's same as C432-C10) if it fails then try C185

If it fails again then there is nothing else to try except wait for your official OTA update

Make sure that when you flash others version rom phones works great but you loose live themes and maybe Huawei backup app, Huawei care app.... And when you install back your version then everything works back again
[Mate 8 General] aaron13:
Thanks for your answer I will try but how can I make a backup before I make an update?

I'm on NXT-L29C636 so the south east Asia variant.

Currently running B193.

Would like to update to nougat once the battery life is confirmed to be good there. Also it's ridiculous how there hasn't even been a stable official OTA for this model.

The updates on Firmware Finder were in order a few months back. But then things started to appear in a strange order. Just looked today and many older updates are no longer present. Strange.

Also some websites claim that the Mate 8 is getting Android O?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Battery is good if not best on L29C636B585. Again it depends on preferences you keep.

Huawei is removing all the update files from its servers. I think that's why FF doesn't show all now. Download whatever you need and keep before everything goes off.
[Mate 8 General] nomad4ever:
Problem is, since Nougat the contact notes field will get truncated, if longer than 1.000 characters. No solution in sight. If you use contact notes extensively, you might want to hold onto your old rom... A reason for me to switch back to LG, when the V30 becomes available. The Mate 10 looks nice and dandy, but if Huawei cripples basic functionality at will, then I don't see myself buying them again.
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
Hi there

I have asked this before but the original solution wouldn't work anymore.

I was going to update to B211 using FF however now that FF doesn't show it anymore, which file should I update to first?

The B585 isn't a PV rom so I can't update directly to it?

I'm on B193

Thanks :D
