[Mate 8 General] velepost:
One stupid question probably... Is it possible that bootloader code has been changed when device (AL10) was unlocked, flashed with L29, than returned to AL10 stock and locked again?

Yesterday I was try to unlock bootloader again and it throwing an error (something like access denied for writing)

Then I tried to get new code from official huawei web, but it say that phone is not used 14 days jet. I have huaweiID registered on that phone about 4 months... Strange?

[Mate 8 General] Mohammed_99:
any update L29B185 ? :(
[Mate 8 General] deaad:
I was using this version without any problem. 6.01

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-contacts-sync-6-0-1-android-apk-download/

Just installed version 7.0 from apkmirror.com.

Update.

I had to go back to version 6.01.

Also had to clear cache and data and renew permissions to get it start again without problems.
[Mate 8 General] velepost:
How come that is not possible to unlock with old code and same procedure as used first time?
[Mate 8 General] toorjay:
Does 7.0 works without any issues?
[Mate 8 General] deaad:
Nope.

Version 7.0 seems not working properly.

After going back to 6.01 I needed to stop the program, clear data and cache and renew all permissions to have it working properly Again.

So maybe It's the solution for others if syncing contacts goes wrong.

Hi, I have rooted B320 and got back my themes with hw.init in to/data method. Now if I lock the bootloader and unroot, my themes are gone and I just have a fixed set of icons. Is there a way to go back to pure stock with all fully working modules incuding themes? Is there a way to go back from B320 to B180 stock with somboons method? Will I lose my themes or it will be pure stock, if at all...?

Anyone can help...Thanks in advance.
[Mate 8 General] raul-_-flores:
Just follow the steps and you'll be back to EMUI 4.0 in no time. I was on b321 and had no problems downgrading :)
[Mate 8 General] deaad:
I wonder. What are the benefits of EMUI 4.0 over 4.1?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
all EMUI 4.1 firmwares are still in beta status (thus no official OTA), so there are bound to be some bugs here or there. they can be managed with correct settings / some tweaking, but EMUI 4.0 roms seem to be overall a bit easier to handle / smoother / battery friendlier.

although i must say that B357 is to date the best firmware ive tried, especially in KangVIP slim flavour :) B180 was also very good and definitely the best EMUI 4.0 firmware ive tried. havent tested B19x or B200 yet though.
[Mate 8 General] deaad:
Ok, thanks for clarification.

B361 is no beta I think. In update settings it's possible to slide on/off 'automatically download on wifi'.

To my knowledge is that option of on beta roms.

Ok, thanks for clarification.

Hello, i ve just bought a Mate 8 NXT-DL00 with C17B350SP01 and I would like to flash an another ROM. I ve tried to unlock my bootloader but always got a failure message. If I try to flash a Rom for a AL10 model it will be O. K.? I didn't try it because I have my bootloader still locked and I'm afraid of a bootloop situation.

[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Thank you raul and somboons.

So in above steps,it would help if you can put my ROM details. I am on C185B320 now and want to go back to C185B180.

Also, the link in this forum for 180 when flashed, shows as C185B190. Is it one and same?

Thank youso much for the support.
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
yep , I think it's B190 , I installed it 1 week ago
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Thanks somboons. In the above description, I guess the region change too is effected. I just want to downgrade from C185B320 to C185B180/190. Pl let me know the steps in SRK tools.

Thanks in advance.

Lazy boy ;) why don't u search
[Mate 8 General] deaad:
Now I'm confused.

My B357 rom and more roms stated. 'Auto-download via wlan is not possible on beta roms'

Now this rom B361 doesn't have that same message.

So explanation please.

My guess wood be: not all of them are beta. You can't tell by name if they are. ?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
based on your observation B361 would be the first proper stable release of a B3xx rom, which is nice to hear :)

according to the chinese forums all B3xx roms previously released were part of a mate 8 beta program. which also makes sense, if you consider that there havent been regular ota's for them yet, just the possibility to upgrade via hisuite...

best firmware for me

hi everyone

I´m having a dilemma wich rom should I use. I came from a Xperia Z5 and the whole huawei firmware thing is a bit confunsing for me. I have a mate 8 in C605 B100 (country: la) and its pretty hard to find any references for this one and zero ota updates

I'm guessing that this build doesn't have any support for being specific from latam so i want to move to any other build in order to get an updated firmware but I'm a bit reluctant, I dont know if it's safe to use c900 or any other cust?

wich one you recommend?

Hi, My problem is weird. When I tried to go back to C185B180 from C185B320 with SRK tools, after rooting, when I tried changing build.prop, it showed as C900B320 while actually my build no. in the "About Phone" shows as L29 C185B320. I didn't proceed and returned back fearing will screw up something. Can anyone explain if this is a problem or it is Ok......
[Mate 8 General] argiris:
Also mine but it is normal. Don't be afraid, if you follow the guide (post #602) you will return to b190. I made it yesterday...

Some tips if you have c185b320 (display c900b320) version:

0. dload C185B320

1. unlock bootloader

2. install twrp 4.1 with srk tool

3. root with srk tool

4. change build.prop ,ro.build.display.id=NXT-L29C185B002

5. change oeminfo and custom.bin to c185

6. return to stock recovery 4.1

7. dload b190 (volume + and - and power)

8. wipe data and cache

9. boot to system

after step 7 you MUST go to step 8 because the phone will try endless to boot. But when i try to load stock recovery to " wipe data and cache" it only load eRecovery and the only option was to connect to internet and try to recover the ROM. So i thought with skr tools to relock bootloader so after that the phone make a factory reset. After that phone was able to boot back to B190.

Also another problem that i had in this process was that in fastboot mode show me that bootloader was unlock BUT FRP locked. If you try to install TWRP with FRP locked always will fail. To bypass this, in the first boot after bootloader unlock you enter the google account of the phone owner and after that you made a factory reset. After that FRP, will be dissapear and you will able to intall TWRP and Root.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Hi, Thank you so much for detailed info. Was looking for such....:) After build.prop edit, how and where do I find and change OEM info and Cust.bin? Through SRK tools only? What command?

I only use SRK tools, because it is easier ... i don't know any command to change OEM info and Cust.bin, but i thing if you search to Google you will find it..

Hi Somboons,

In the firmware link section, for L29 C185B180, there are 3 links. First is not working I guess. Second is actual B180 and third is actually B190. If necessary correction can be made.....

Also, would help if beside firmware, memory is mentioned like for 32 GB, 64 GB, or 128 GB.

[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
I was the same way with my Mate2. I left it on 4.3 for a LONG time until Huawei released the 5.x version with the provision to go back to 4.3

It was so stable with 4.3, I was afraid to screw with it. 5.1 was super stable also.

Now that I have the Mate8, it stays stock. Back in my windows mobile days, I would flash about anything that came along. Even the Note1, I

would constantly flash this or that. Those days, for me are over. At the end of the day, I put my phone down and don't touch it til morning.

It's a "toaster oven". I turn it on (actually it never is turned off/rebooted), use it and that's it. As long as stock is stable, I don't bother it.
