Originally my Mate 8 was a L29(middle east) i debrand it to AL10 with SRK when i was on Android MM with Emui 4.0 or 4.1 after debranding i flashed many times Android 7 roms with TWRP but it was not really successful (always showed test-keys)

I found DC Phoenix (https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial) and flashed -> 38. MT8-B573 | update.zip (1.33GB) | changelog.xml | filelist.xml | update.zip <- after that i booted into stock recovery and the phone was downloading recovery = full rom AL10C00B573 (i never had this before) then i flashed cust.img form -> 23. NXT-L29C432B521-LOG | update.zip| update_data_full_hw_eu.zip <- and both sim cards are working.

Of course there is no Google Play Store, you have to download it from Huawei Hi-Market, and it works fine for me, also bluetooth.

When i installed google play store, google frameworks and google account manager seperatly google dosent worked for me -> error: i have to register on my google account.

People who registered to beta and didn't receive ota can try in updater application,click the 3 dots in upper right and download latest full package.
[Mate 8 General] Boosik:
I've flashed "40. EMUI 5.0 | update.zip (1.33GB) | changelog.xml | filelist.xml | update.zip" after rebranding from 432 to AL10. However I've lost play services and google play and there is nothing like huawei store where I can download play store. Also my build number now shows like NRD90M test-keys. Any way to fix it to the real version and allow OTA updates? (please do not suggest DC-Phoenix as that is pretty expensive).
[Mate 8 General] flyingjack:
All, I am on L29C432B521-log...is there any newer FW available for the L29C432? BTW what is the menaing of "-log", does this has any special menaing or is this just an extention....

Thx for your support.....
[Mate 8 General] konsole1567:
Download Hiapp form here to your pc --> http://appstore.huawei.com/app/C27162 <-- its in chinese language but the symbols are clear, and install it on your phone with HiSuite.

If you want AL10C00B575 you have to flash also --> update_data_full_all_cn.zip <-- (its about 0,8GB file size) and let the phone boot fully! In phone settings it should show you NXT-AL10C00B575

--> Boot into bootloader and flash TWRP for Emui 5 (you find it in xda in a different thread)

--> After flashing TWRP boot the phone normal

--> Reboot into stock recovery (phone has to be connected with USB to the pc). Phone will ask you to download recovery files...connet to your wifi and phone should start download the full packet for AL10C00B575 (it takes pretty long)...let the phone do everything until it is finished and rebooted by itself, and you are able to get OTA updates for AL10.

--> Boot into bootloader and flash CUST.img form --> 23. NXT-L29C432B521-LOG | update.zip| update_data_full_hw_eu.zip <-- and you have working sim card (also 2nd sim is working)...themes are working also.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Nope no newer version for now, only CN rom gets updates frequently.

Where you see the ".....-log"? is it visible in the phone settings?
[Mate 8 General] Astra1:
So now you have both sims working with the ability to receive future nougat updates. And what does it show in your Build No in the About section.

And you flashed CUST.img from update.zip or update_data_full_hw_eu.zip ?

Can we use C185B520 instead of C432520 ? Does it make a difference.

I will try your technique and let you know.

.
[Mate 8 General] flyingjack:
Thx for your reply...indeed, my Build-No (in settings) is "NXT-L29C432B521-log"

I installed -comming from b320- the 2 files from page 1
[Mate 8 General] konsole1567:
I dont have a 2nd sim card for now what i can use in my country, but I've puted a sim from Vietnam as 2nd and swapped the 2 sims from slot 1 to 2 and back so that you can see slot 2 is fully working.
[Mate 8 General] samsungXP:
still have no update
[Mate 8 General] Thestarki:
Works on NXT-L29C432?
[Mate 8 General] childoftheworld:
I guess all these are still in BETA? Any experiences that are CONS? I am on L29C636321 and I am very happy with the performance and the battery life of the firmware version. No bugs that I could find that would have made me throw my phone against the wall.

I guess my key concerns are:

battery life

notification issues with the Marshmallow Doze & App Standby BUG in early EMUI 4.0 on the L29 Mate 8

any other downsides to updating to Nougat Beta or wait until a more stable release comes out? Or just buy the Mate 9 L29?

Notice
[Mate 8 General] TLbonchef1234:
My thought exactly. Am wondering the same. I even skipped mate 9 despite the option to get that instead of mate 8. The fact that 8 is eligible for Nougat is just peace of mind thing. I have used cm 13 on my galaxy, aside from the perceived responsiveness improvement I am not too eager to jump ship.

i don't know I've c185 flashed b520 then i want try c636 so i flash it on c185 without changing anything and worked good but with same update_data_menafan.zip i don't know if you can use rom b521 for c636 on c432 but must with update_data_full_hw_eu.zip, if you want gona do it you must

waiting until somebody confirm that. [MENTION=4008653]somboons[/MENTION]
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
what about confirm ? if you would like to install c636 , I recommend to debrand and install b521 both files via twrp.
[Mate 8 General] somboons:
if you see in fileslist,it's for Chinese. if you want to install , I recommend to debrand before.

[Mate 8 General] Astra1:
I updated to nougat through Hicare. Now to get sim1 working I flashed cust.img from c432 nougat. The sim1 is working but I get in the update settings that unauthorized changes have been made to the system and it gives me the option to reupdate the firmware. Will doing that disable the first sim. Does that mean I will have to flash cust.img everytime theres an update?

[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Guys, those all who have debranded from L29 or other regions to CN and are facing issue of updates notifications and unauthorised updates, just flash cust.img from any of nougat dualcu_cn.zip and you will have both sim working and without any kind of irritating notification.

i dont know how the future updates goes as I directly flashed on B575. If someone can flash on older versions like B573 or B562 and see if they get OTA update notification and after update if it works properly.

I have everything working including google play store and app downloads from there.
[Mate 8 General] RomyRodriguez:
i don't know if this is of the interest of anybody here but, i have a NXT-L09 it was originaly branded to claro so it was C25, using the 3 button method i've flashed the C432B190 version, it ended up being NXT-C900B190, i unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP and installed nougat for C636, no problems what so ever just that the inital settup is with no keyboard i just downloaded on to my sd card and installed it from there, now i have nougat with TWRP and root access fully funtional and perfectly working

How did you get it from there, I've tried plenty of times. :(
[Mate 8 General] dan boala:
Thank you, you just made my day ! I can confirm this solution works indeed for my debranded L29C185 . I have removed my Google account, cleared data and cache of Google Play Store and Play Services, then flashed the cust.img from http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1255/g104/v72114/f1/full/dualcu/cn/update_data_full_dualcu_cn.zip , the dual_cu version of B575 . Added again my Google account and tried installing a new app never installed before ; lo and behold no more "authentication is required" :D First SIM is also working ! [MENTION=4008653]somboons[/MENTION] , you should definitely update the Nougat flashing guide.

Data partition and Cust partition error

Will it directly work on L29? I have tried the relevant cust file for L29 but I see errors such as "Data partition and Cust partition error"

Did you have to unlock data partition by formatting it?

Also seems like quick charging is not working in Nougat? Any one else having thiss problem?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
You need to rebrand first to AL 10 to flash CN Nougat. Then all works.

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

RAM management is very good in B575. I have almost 3 GB free out of 4. Battery looks good too.
[Mate 8 General] dan boala:
I don't know if it would directly work on L29, I have debranded my phone to AL10C , flashed B386 then flashed all the Nougat beta/stable versions for AL10C via TWRP. Just like the guide, but without formatting the data partition, which is still encrypted. I have used before the cust image from C185B520 beta in order to use the first SIM. Quick charging works fine for me, never had this issue.

[Mate 8 General] ksvictor:
everything flashes ok. cust. system. recovery and boot. stays in the unlocked bootscreen for ages and then reboots.

With dload i am told it is the wrong version and i tried with ALB361 and B357, L29 B320 andB040. same result stays in the unlocked bootscreen for ages and then reboots.

I extracted all img from a stock rom and tried to flash them all (expect modems, fastboot and radio). didnt work either as most commands failed besides the normal 4. same result.

tried italian rayglobe knife. no luck.

Is there a img responsible for this i should flash and then is dload software the wrong version?

I just used 15 dollars the DC tool, and that worked. Happily throw me a link, if you know thread i didnt find, so i know how to fix next time I again f*** something up.

[Mate 8 General] Boosik:
Just a warning L09C432B521-LOG has pretty dissapointing bug/missing feature vs AL10 B575. Notification icons cannot be enabled, you can only see number of how many notifications you have, but app icons are missing. You only see (9) in notification bar when you have 9 notifications, but no app icons so you do not know which notifications they are until you pull down the notification pulldown. I hope they will add icons in next version (as AL10 already has it). I've rolled back to L09C432B192 just because this, it was super annoying for me.
[Mate 8 General] Tony66:
It is not a bug, it is a feature of nougat!!!

Anyone have experience with Nougat and Android Auto? Does it work like it's supposed to? Previous builds did not...
[Mate 8 General] jasaero:
What aspect of Android auto? Auto has always mostly worked for me...But there were quirks. Still works on Nougat, but now different quirks.
[Mate 8 General] WDawn:
Does calling work? That's the biggest quirk for me on Android 6.
[Mate 8 General] jasaero:
It will usually place calls and recieve them, but recieve seems to be hit and miss if you don't a sweet with phone and the Android auto call interface is now MIA on Nougat rather than causing auto to go crazy flashing things. It's sorta better now as I can place calls and the call control is always on the phone then to end them. Before it seems it would force back to auto and I would have issues ending a call....Although I think the end call hard button on my steering wheel works also.
