[Mate 8 General] qwerty1q:
Thx for the new firmware! I'm eager to flash b200, but is battery experience similar to 193? Call recording working? All b3xx had problems with call recording. And the final question, can I use dload to go back from 200 to 193 or I need to root and etc?
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
The last question. yes . you can directly dload.no need to root

Guys ....sorry if my post troubled you. I just posted the link and the source as well from where I got it. Just passed on the info here. I, myself have not tested since I am on L29 C185B320.

For those who got bootloop, lock your bootloader via fastboot, download last firmware (UPDATE.APP) you were on to dload folder on your sd card and boot into software update mode. It should auto download. Make sure you put the last ROM you were on only in dload.......

[Mate 8 General] velepost:
In case that somebody else run into the same problem with locked device...

to prevent this issue, before update, BE SURE that you disabled phone finder!

If you reading this text, than you probably did not :)

If you try with any other update, screen after WiFi will ask for huawei ID and password. This will not work.

Take SIM(s) out, disable WiFi and try to find any option with share function. In my case, I typed username in Phone activation screen and than selected it with long press. Options poped-up: Copy/paste/share ... taped on share and selected HiCloud. Here you need to logIn with huawei credentials as well. Enter your data and press logIn. Now you will get notification, that you need to check your network connections and it will open settings window. Enable WiFi and log in to the cloud. Select Phone finder and disable it. If you have problems with disabling phone finder, remove your cloud account and sign in again, than go to disable.

Reboot device and screen with phone activation will be skiped.

Now how can we roll back? from beta Nougat ? Any Idea?

When i connected the device to my system it is not recognizing. I tried to do software update but cannot as my phone bootloader is unlocked. So technically stuck up in this Nougat Beta ROM.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Hi....I have not tried on Nougat as I am on African version. You can try as below:

Use Huawei update extractor to extract boot.img, cust.img, recovery.img, and system.img of the last ROM you were on.. ... Now flash all four through fastboot. Once finished, boot your device and do factory reset. It should get you to previous version. You will lose TWRP and need to flash again and root if you want. Try this at your own risk as I have not tried on Nougat.

Now i flashed again Nougat recovery , system IMG, and it booted and all the data my apps everything is intact.

Here the big issue i see is the PC is not recognizing the device with android ROM. If the system is able to recognize the device, then i think the problem will be solved by SRK tool

Guys,

Iam back on EMUI 4.1. What i did was i dailed *#*#2846579#*#* and went in to project menu.

There i did a factory restore.

Once reset is done , Phone booted again into Beta Nougat only. Then again i went into project menu and did a software update. I have extracted update.app from B357 and placed it in sdcard dload folder and selected software update.

The phone resetted in to EMUI. But it asked for password for enabling encryption. I canceled and now automatically the phone reset to factory lowlevel reset..and back now on B357. The Bootloader is locked automatically.
