"official" 7.0 for Mate8 1qtr 2017

Several sources say Huawei will officially release 7.0 for our 8 sometime between 1 Jan and 31 March in 2017.

I remember when my Mate2 was on JB4.3. Huawei didn't release a KK4.4 but jumped to LL5 and said 2nd Qtr

of 2015? They released it on 31 June...the last day of the 2nd Qtr. So I'm guessing they will release it in a late

March, early April time frame.

Hello,

It's possible to lock bootloader via fastboot on L29C432B521, but it hard resets phone
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Format data.....before. Nothing else thereafter. As usual.....
[Mate 8 General] superior8888:
Updated. Love it so far. Lets see how buggy it is

Skickat från min NXT-L29 via Tapatalk
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Wait.......Moath posted this link to register for FUT Nougat Trial for L29.....

https://m.me/HuaweimobileAE/

I tried registering but there was no Mate 8. I just tried and went ahead with Honor 8. Then it accepted all my details for Mate 8 as correct like current version - L29C185B200, IMEI 1, IMEI 2,....and in the end congratulated saying will catch again in December but before that I will have Nougat Beta pushed to my phone.

I waited for 2-3 days. No update and I thought it wont come as it was for Honor 8 and My is Mate 8. Then again I unlocked, and flashed Nougat zips through TWRP, then factory reset. I dont remeber the first day itself or second day while rebooting, I saw the warning message was not there. Then I checked the bootloader and it was 100% locked.

Just to check, I flashed update.zip (L29C185B520) through dload and it went 100% successfully and booted as normal with all in place.

I wonder is it that may be Huawei have pushed the update and since I was already on B520, it just locked my bootloader?

I absolutely received no notification or alerts from Huwai regarding update or anything.

Just wondering how and may be?
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
no its not about ur registration,cause i succesfully flashed nougat and my bootloader get locked but update data didnt flashed correctly so i dont have bluethooth...

i want to know what did you do in twrp recovery before or maybe after flashing the 2 zips,did you format data or not,what did you wipe and when?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
But I always have bluetooth working on all different zip models that I have flashed after flashing both the zips....

I just did..."allow modifications", format Data, and then flash 2 zips and reboot....thats it. As far as I remember.
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
did you get any error in twrp like cust mount failed?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Yes....in both zips....

How have you install a theme ?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
There is a separate thread by master somboons for themes not working. Follow that, and even further follow post # 46 in that and you will have themes working 100%. Pick the folder hw.init within the main folder. I mean there should not be folder within the folder with same name. Factory reset is suggested after the steps.

Note: every time you debrand or degrade, you may need to repeat this. You won't have any problems if you upgrade.

For me, the main post and no. 46, both worked.

No it still ext4.

Damn! That would be the biggest update of them all. They changed file system for mate 9, was hoping they would change it for the mate 8 as well. The opo 3t gained massive r/w speeds from going to f2fs. Thanks for the quick reply tho.

You know if the twrp recovery support f2fs format?

Can't remember for this phone didn't use twrp much but for other phones yet it has f2fs.

[Mate 8 General] jee82:
Can anyone with nougat try to format the cache partition to f2fs, if it works, if that works the data partition most likely will work too :)

Because you can't dload these BETA files, you need to have unlocked bootloader, be rooted and flash with twrp.

[Mate 8 General] ksvictor:
But asking how to get notified is a bit weird, and I keep seeing the same root for nougat question again again.

I learned in my first IT job, that in order to get good and qualified help you need to ask the right questions, which requires at least a bit of preparation. It also shows that you respect people's time by making an effort before distributing.

Today I had to asked for diapers in the supermarket where I normally buy diapers, but due personel issues I just couldn't find them. I asked. Not a volunteer but a paid staff, and I think that is a major difference.

I'm in a Danes in Berlin group on Facebook and we several times a week or day see the same questions about getting Germany phones number etc. Sometimes it would be nice if people could just click a bit backwards in the thread or du IWGIM (I Will Google It Myself) instead of LMGIFY (Let Me Google It For You).

'...and Huawei boasts that a user "can reach 90% of the core functions in just two to three clicks".'

This is the key my friend. Huawei won me over mostly bacause of their UI differentiation strategy - tweak the UI for UX sake. Knuckle gestures for me is very practical despite other may find it gimicky.

Btw, years ago I saw their job posting for handset product manager and I thought they were nuts to be a late comer to such a dense space. I am truly happy they didn't hire cynic like me :laugh:

update: u'll lose themes after low level factory reset and its not that stable update ,still beta
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Finally cracked this. Got back to B200 via rollback package and immediately got the update notification to B520 Nougat. Was wondering how this happened.

So guys, who wants to get official beta Nougat testing B520, can try above. I chose Honor 8 as Mate 8 is not in the list. You can chose any and if it accepts your current model, and IMEI nos. and finishes the conversation, you will get Beta Nougat pushed to your Device. No need to unock bootloader and root.
