[Mate 8 General] TLbonchef1234:
Hi all. Got my mate 8 two weeks ago and have been watching this thread since.

Just curious. What are some of the Nougat / EMUI features prompted you to upgrade early?

I have a Samsung s4 just upgraded to CM14. It is nice but I don't see any compelling features for me to go through the hassle at the moment.

And despite many lukewarm reviews towards EMUI I actually quite enjoy it (4.1 B321) . Especially the knuckle feature - I always found there are not enough shortcut keys in android. The only thing I did not like was the default pulldown to notifications. Glad it could be disabled.
[Mate 8 General] bobschmidt:
Ok--that worked perfectly. Thank you for making it clear that root has to be present. The other times, I either did not flash the second zip because I didn't know about it initially, or I was not rooted because root no longer worked.

Can Nougat be rooted, or are we not there yet? Haven't seen much discussion of this.
[Mate 8 General] somboons:

In twrp you need to wipe data,system,cache,dalvik before installing the 2 zips.

Hey Bro I'm from Egypt too and I have an issue getting stuck after the enroll fingerprint page in the setup, takes me right back to the select language section.

After some research I figured out it has something to do with the cust.img file. The way I understand it is I have to flash the right cust.img file to my region to enable the phone to boot properly after the setup.

Can you please the cust.img file that you used since we most probably have the same phone.

Have fun with betas ;)

Try B552 or B560, the are much better builts then B521
[Mate 8 General] Kurttz:
To run the dload you need to flash the original recovery.img of the previous version that has the mate 8, example, if you had the NXT-XXXXXXXB320 you will have to flash the recovery of the B320, to get each specific recovery you have to extract it from the update.app from the original version, and in the same way you flashed a custom recovery, you install the original. Luck!

My problem is that I want to work with the beta of emui 5.0 (while leaving the final) but bluetooth I can not activate it, it is not possible.
