Isn't there a way you go to previous version and then get update, download full file and replace the files in hwouc folder with nougat files and upgrade? Just the way it can be done on AL10…?
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
The reason this isn't installing via dload is that there's no cust file, instead they replaced with product.img.

Partition table changes are also there.

Huawei recovery is able to flash via OTA ;)

Have to figure out how to do it without root!!

dload the stock L29C636B321 UPDATE.app using an external sd card and you will downgrade to EMUI 4.1 :) youre welcome (I had the same problem. My keyboard was stuck on Google voice during setup, had no way to get rid of it)

---------- Post added at 03:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

Here was what happened when I installed this beta. (I started with L29C636B321)

1)Flashed it via TWRP

2)Rebooted phone

3)Everything was working great. All the features were working EXCEPT bluetooth, so I got annoyed and tried to fix by factory restoring (This was where I learned the hard way)

4)After factory restore, I was unable to get through setup because there was no skip button and my keyboard was STUCK on Google Voice.

How to fix:

5) dload L29C636B321 via external sdcard

6) Your themes and wallpapers will NOT be working, but you will have a fully-functioning L29C636B321.

7)Install TWRP and Root (SRKTOOL)

8)Restore a nandroid backup (What I did to fix the themes and wallpapers but I'm sure you tech geniuses out there can fix it without restoring a backup)

Youre welcome :)

need nougat stock recovery

Hi all, I made a noob mistake I think, unlocked bootloader, flash twrp, and then apply update to nougat with L29C636B521 file. All went fine, but then I do a "factory restore" from options, and then an error came and lost some features on the phone (no keyboard... etc). I try to reflash again but nougat has flashed his own recovery, then I try to flash agan twrp and start (I think that was my fault) and now I can't boot into recovery mode.

Tryied to flash recovery from emui 4.1 (did not work as expected) and then found a twrp that worked but cant see internal storage, I think it's encrypted by nougat.

My question: is there any link to nougat stock recovery? I think if I can flash stock recovery, I can do a factory reset and at least I can have beta with all functionality as expected.

Any other solution will be very appreciated.

Thanks.

For L29C185, it should be B520 and not B521. Just check if you have flashed correct update package as it has all working and good....
[Mate 8 General] sony21:
Just download the version you want to go back, I used L29C636B321 for my version, you should search for your firmware for L29C185.. then just unzip and copy update.app to a new folder on root of internal storage called "dload". When you are done just power off your phone, and press vol+ & vol- & power and wait for a screen wich says EMUI, thats all if you have not changed your recovery.
[Mate 8 General] gkm223:

yes L29C185B520 only one zip. what to do next to go back to emui 4.1 or 4.0
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
You need to flash 2 zips. Thats why you do not have keyboard etc....

If you want to downgrade, flash rollback package for middle east via dload and then flash your last MM update.app again via dload and you will be back to MM.

As i own an AL10 which is already on KangvipRom (so TWRP & bootloader unlocked), all i've to do is :

Follow these steps, but beware that nougat is still in beta with few issues.

3) Reboot

L29c636b521

I have installed L29C636B521 using following method.

1. unlock bootloader/install twrp using srktool.

2. Flash update.zip

3. Reset.

4. Flash TWRP for EMUI 5.0

5. Flash update.zip and data

6. Activated Google Now with a bit of struggle over vpn. :D

These are my observations.

1. Phone is faster than 4.1

2. Dialer is damn ugly.

3. Harassment filter is always on. On/Off toggle is missing.

4. Still looks iOS-ish.

5. Battery seems to drain faster than 4.1

6. Notification icons are now working. I hated 4.1 because of this.

7. Quick settings/Notification bar is great and looks like what it should be.

8. Split screen is good. So is app switcher.

9. Stock launcher is still ugly. Anyway, I can't ditch Nova. ;)

10. If the phone goes into doze mode (I suppose it's going into doze, after about 1 hour of inactive time) notifications don't ring/vibrate the phone.

Is this the same for everyone? ;)
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Hi suite is really handy for restoring the backup. You can choose where to restore, like internal or SD card.

All data gets restored except the app data, some apps doesn't restore the data well.
