1- Install HiSuite

2- Download HiSuite (http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/..._en/index.html)

3- HiSuite will install on your Computer

4- Connect your phone to your computer, allow the computer to communicate with your phone and it will install Hiapp on your phone

5- on your phone logon to hiapp and scroll down to the bottom, you will see update pending

6- Now wait for some time to complete the process.

7- Done.
[Mate 8 General] paulcl:
Hiapp is the Chinese version of Google App Store. The only updates you will get there is for the Chinese apps you don't even want on your phone.

HiCare may look for system updates but in my case it always says I have the latest version, whatever I install via TWRP.

Thank you......but how to use this app to update my L29 c185 because it gave me 100% but now I don't know how to go forward...
[Mate 8 General] sozofriend1234:
Downloaded the c180b560 twice using the firmware finder software using the proxy settings. It completes the download and then gives msg that the update is not official and deletes the downloaded package.
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
Maybe try with dload folder method?
[Mate 8 General] sh@h!d:
Also tried dload on c185, the dialer code method and proxy one as well but none of them works. I think it's because all 3 b560 updates in firmware finder are OTAs. You'll need full firmware to be successful, not sure though.

[Mate 8 General] Asterix3011:
Updater 2.0?

Have to... :)

On a previous page someone shared a screenshot that they got c185b560 via OTA and it was like 2.23gb (probably in KSA) but that firmware is not yet available on firmware finder. May be that's the one we need.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Actually there are two updates with more than 2 gb out of the three in FF. I think the one on 5.1.17 should work.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

I am downloading now. Well let you know. The other two on 7.1.17 are not working. I think this should as this is TRUE version whereas other two are FALSE versions.

Ok guys, I have upgraded to C185B560 with firmware finder and its proxy addon, I chose the file of January 5, the other one didn't work.
[Mate 8 General] sh@h!d:
How could you man?:confused: I already tried that thing like many times. It goes upto 5% then kinda freezes and then device reboots.
[Mate 8 General] dlhak:
I activated proxy then went to Firmware finder and chose the file from january 5, I went then to system updater and checked, after I launched the update I clicked pause then went to Wifi settings and removed the proxy, and resumed the update, the download size was 2.23 gb

Earlier I tried the 7th January file and it gave me errors. Bit the January 5 file worked.

That firmware is firmware + data file for middle East that's y 2.3gb

[Mate 8 General] sh@h!d:
I'm doing the same but it fails during install. And the 5.1.17 version is 1.39gb in FF :confused:

One from 7.1.17 is 384mb and the other one is again 1.39gb.

What country are you from? I'm in Pakistan BTW, if it's gotta do something with all that.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
You are getting it right. Nothing to do with country. It should work.

---------- Post added at 05:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

Update from C185B200 to B560.

1. Download Firmware Finder from Google Play Store.

2. Go to FF settings and switch ON "install via system update"

3. It will ask to download FF proxy app. Install it.

4. Open FF and click on B560 dated 5.1.17.

5. Click on "send firmware to updater".

6. A pop up will come asking you to change WiFi settings.

7. Come to your WiFi connection and long press on connected WiFi.

8. Click on modify.

9. Tick in advanced.

10. Select proxy as manual.

11. Put Server name as "localhost".

12. Put port "8080".

13. Click on connect.

14. Come back to your system updater and click on update or download full package.

15. You will see update pushed.

16. Now you may go back and reset you WiFi as the update will still remain.

Note = If you see more files for same update in FF , always paste the changelog url in any browser and check the third/ fourth line "point version". The one with "true" is the correct file and not the one with "false".

Have not tested on B320 but I think it should work.
[Mate 8 General] sh@h!d:
Tried everything and it's not working, gives error everytime. Does it have to do anything with some developer tools settings or any other settings??

In my case some preinstalled apps are frozen via debloater.

Update:

Nothing works, even after restoring debloated apps.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Nothing to do with developer settings...etc.

Don't know. Works for some and does not work for others........:(

I hope you are on B200 only.
[Mate 8 General] Khryzz8:
I followed your instructions but I'm not seeing any update icon in hiapp.
[Mate 8 General] sh@h!d:
No! I'm on B320.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
That's why.... Roll back to B200. You will get it 100%

Someone else posted too, it is not working on B320. May be because B320 is not official update.

Any anyone please update me with some information about NXT-L29C185B560 dated 05.01.2017 . IS this firmware a beta version or Final Rom for mate 8 .

I am currently on C185B200 non-rooted device.
[Mate 8 General] sh@h!d:
B320 is official AFAIK as i got it through OTA. Anyhow can you please guide me how to rollback to B200 without losing data, may be some link too please? :)
[Mate 8 General] plain_white:
B320 won't work. I tried it many times before and it failed during installation. Finally i rollback to B211 and it work. The only downside is, there's no way u won't lose data. So be prepared and back up your stuff if u really want to try nougat
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
That's great. You managed to upgrade to Nougat and welcome to xda :)

Should try C432. For me it's better than C636. In term of battery performance.
[Mate 8 General] mahawa:
What version were you before updating to B560

Were you on B200 or B320? I have B320 and I can't update to B560
[Mate 8 General] apat26:

1. the notification screen (where we slide down from top) background colour is weird and we cant change - i cannot see play, stop, pause button on my poweramp notification .

2. i always used smart assistance "floating dock" since android 6 and now on android 8, sometimes the dock is not visible when running few games or apps (previously, ALWAYS visible).

Installed c185b560 via twrp. I was on 520 already. Wiped everything. Installed both update and data file. This build 560 is mucb better then 520. Better performance and the notifications work for all apps for me. Also the icon notification is back again instead of nos. only.

Hi Osama
[Mate 8 General] rjcoolhtc:
Hi ,

Can someone please provide any review or feedback about NXT-L29C185B560 firmware.

Did you observe any changes in battery, any connectivity issues ( bluetooth, wifi or data ) or any issues in call drop.

Thanks.
[Mate 8 General] Asterix3011:
Battery didn't really change, the only thing that changed from B520 was that the notifications have rounded corners, the bootlogo changed and the notifications are no longer represented as numbers, as it was in B520. Overall its smoother than B520 and worth the data to download it. There are no connectivity issues at all, everything is working. But it honestly depends on the version that you are currently on
[Mate 8 General] rjcoolhtc:
Thanks for feedback. I am still on C185B200 and this OTA update of B560 popped up and as i have too much data on my phone so thought to ask in the forum about review of B560 build before installing the new firmware as i don't want to roll back again restore.

I've tried using firmware finder to install all 3 variants, all 3 fail when authenticating the downloaded data via the software update screen.

I've also tried manually downloading them all to flash via dload method... The 500mb update isn't a dload compatible file, both the 1.3gb files will unpack, the earliest B563 won't flash via dload, the newest will flash perfectly BUT

After flashing successfully via dload all that's changed is I now have a new Huawei splash screen, my build is still showing as B521 beta...

I guess there will not be much more updates for Mate 8 anymore. Huawei is working on EMUI 5.1 but i think only all the new models like P10 , Mate 9 and perhaps a new Mate 10 will get updates to Android 7.1.xxx

Anyway my Mate 8 is running with mixture from B577 and C432B560 (i dont know how i did it :D) but its fine for me, long press home button gives me google assistant - usually on B577 long press home button is Huawi voice search. So i dont see any reasons to be desperate to update as long as Huawei isn´t releasing new functions.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
interesting info on emui 5.1, didnt know that :) but i agree, this could very well be the end of the rope for the mate 8. best we can hope for is one last update to emui 5.1, but seeing as the mate 7 highest rom version was B571 and were already at B586 it stands to reason that this is it! android 7.1.x would be nice though...cmon huawei, do it! :D
