Hey guys, I have NXT-L29C636180, I am trying to update to 211 then to 531 to nougat. Every time I update using dload... it finishes updating... but it stays at 180. Can someone help me with a little explanation on why that is happening?
[Mate 8 General] crispaf77:
Put the uppdate.app of the C636B211 to the dload file of your SD card and erase the dload file from your internal storage.
[Mate 8 General] initialdwiko:
thanks for the reply. but i might have done something wrong... and i am not sure what i am supposed to do now. can you help? here is a post of whats going on. someone suggested me put at update file to dload and do a dload method. which i tried... but when i hold up+down+power button, it does not start up the update... it goes straight to RECOVERY mode. and it just gives me the option to factory reset or wipe cache. and when i try to factory RESET, it stops at like 10% and it gives me a RED exclamation mark... i have a feeling when i updated to 211 it just messed it up... and now it doesnt even have a OS on the phone... and it wont let me do anything. please help!!!

ah crap... i need some help. after figuring it out on how to use the FF method. everything was working perfectly. L29C636180 ------ downloaded 211 and did the update through server thing --------- it started downloading through update -------- i pressed install and it started installing --------- 1% and it stop and went blank --------- booted to Huawei Erecovery mode. now i have been stuck there. tried cache wipe and nothing worked. tried factory reset and nothing either. and now i am searching and searching... but i dont find much on people getting stuck in recovery mode.

i was able to get to this FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE. but HISUIT says my phone is not compatible. bottom of the phone says PHONE LOCKED. can someone please help? has anyone experienced this before? or can someone just tell me i am SOL and buy the MATE 9.........

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

one other thing, Huawei eRecovery mode, i try to download lastest version and recovery... and it fails to get package from server....
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
Which firmware you tried? Try the same working firmware you had.B180 i gess.

And don't plug usb while doing the 3 buttons.
[Mate 8 General] initialdwiko:
I am using 211, all other links except 211 work. I can't seem to find older firmwares. Do you have links to older versions?

I did do it without the USB plugged in. It's in the sd card in dload folder. It's a 64gb micro sd card. Does the format type matter? Right now it's formatted to ntsc.

So when I do the 3 button press and it just goes straight into erecovery.... does that mean that my phone is soft bricked... and it is still possible to save it??? But I just need the right files?
[Mate 8 General] crispaf77:
Do not flash a rom while you are connected with a usb cable (not even you charge your device) because you ll get in e-recovery.

Always starting by pushing vol up ,vol. down and then the power button.When you get in Recovery mode and starting to flash the Rom then release power button and the vol up and down buttons.
[Mate 8 General] initialdwiko:
So you said do no connect usb, when I first flashed to 211 it was connected to power only. Not to computer. I am wondering if that messed it up.

So I tried what you said, and again it just kicks me to a black screen with EMUI logo. With 3 choices. Download recovery, factory reset and wipe cache. I keep trying and trying... I am wondering if I do not have the right firmware?
[Mate 8 General] crispaf77:
If the device recognizes a usb connection when you try the dload method (even charging) it takes you to e-recovery

Did you try after flashing the Rom to...

wipe data?

wipe cache?

reboot system?
[Mate 8 General] Grolsch1:
Your dload folder should be in internal storage, NOT on SD card.
[Mate 8 General] initialdwiko:
i cant even get into internal storage atm.... everything i do just completely takes me to Huawei Erecovery mode... and the options are to reboot system, factory reset, and wipe cache...

when i factory reset it fails to reset. i dont know how else to put it into my INTERNAL drive instead of SD card...
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
Do you have an unlocked bootloader?

If no Can you unlock it?

Use srk tool to unbrick?

Did you tried the rollback package?
[Mate 8 General] initialdwiko:
bootloader unlock = no

i dont know if i can even unlock it. i cant do anything on the phone.

srk tool? i tried the knife thing... but it needs to be unlocked.

rollback package? let me try that...

Expect some fancy changes.... Surprise! I had my first official OTA from Huawei a few weeks ago... That was the B330... Last week, I got the B563... A few headaches but nothing that was unresolvable...

L29C636 from B330 to B563; L29C185 from B321 to B560

---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 AM ----------

Official OTA push sounds better... Notice that in FF, there are similar versions with different time stamps... So you wonder... But FF is cool as well... You just don't want to end up with a broken Beta at the end of the day...
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
How is the battery on L29C185B560 with official push? Is it better than B200 or B3321? I was not happy with the battery when updated through FF and moved to DL00C17B584. Battery is excellent here.
[Mate 8 General] childoftheworld:
So far so good... have you played with Battery "Protected Mode", Ignore System Optimization (Doze Mode), Disable almost all Background Data for most apps except the essentials, destroyed/disabled hog apps like Hangouts, Duo, Google + and the Google Play useless crap?, Disable notifications for all apps but a handful few that you need? Avoid Microsoft Outlook like a plague? With regular use, battery is still over 24 hours.

If you are referring to L29C636, B321 is more of a battery saver than B330... something changed in B330 or I just totally unblocked both Spotify and TuneIn Radio... and noticed a slightly larger battery hunger... but still better than any competition's phone...

Silly question perhaps but I just rolled back from emui 5 to emui 4 on my mate 8. My current build is nxt l29c185b200. Do I need to do a series of updates to get to the latest build number and if so, can you please recommend which ones....or can I simply update to the latest build number and if so..which is the best one?

Hi guys and senior members, in regards to

cust meanaf = C185 - Africa / Middle East

cust ru = C10 Russian

I have the meanaf c185 and my build number is NXT-L29C185B200. Not sure if you guys know or can tell me but is the b320 a better firmware in terms of battery consumption and general operation compared to the b200? If so can someone provide a link as the link above seems to be not in use please. I would love your advice on this guys as i had to rollback from emui 5 android 7 back down to emui 4 android 6. Incase your wondering why i was compelled to roll back, the c185b560 update removed my google account, my keyboard, my file manager, bluetooth and theres probably a whole lot more that i didn't notice by the time i started frothing at the mouth lol.

I would love your advice guys. Thankyou

I updated to c185b580 via OTA and I have a huge battery drain since last update as I left my mate 35 %battery level before go sleeping and when I wake up I found mobile is switched off as battery drained completely.

Realy B580 is stupid update build.

Of course, it's the 580 update fault.

It probably has nothing to do with all the crap you have running in the background.

[Mate 8 General] dr.haitham010:
First thanks for your polite reply.

Second all the craps I am running in background are the same with b560 and previous b200 builds as I am not fond of installing apps I won't use so why there is no drain in b200 and b560 and just present in b580.

Third not me only noticed battery drain in b580 version and you can read previous comments up of my post.
