Agree Samsung have better updates, I just got my Tab S and S5 updated with Android 6. However, the phone interface become extremely sluggish. So, what is the point getting update but also getting the bad user experience?

I am happy with C636B563, the phone UI still as smooth as B321 (don't like B211 coz the UI abit stuttering).
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Another way is to flash twrp then flash the data file then flash stock then wipe cache and reboot. Themes should work fine.:cool:

Hi, Does C636B563 Bluetooth and NFC function normally?
[Mate 8 General] plzhelpimannob:
[MENTION=2827903]Blueheart[/MENTION] but if i flash The Data before flashing The Stock Rom wouldn't it overwrite it? For me it seems More sensefull to flash first The Rom and Then The Data ZIP. So since i already have The Rom i would Just dirty flash The Data.zip over it with twrp? :)

Because when i flashed The b560 i already flashed Data.zip supersu and after that The Rom without success ( Themes didnt Work an i had no Root). So i would try another Order...?

Thnx in advice!

Hey have to download and install C900 version not C185
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You have already flashed the roll back package. That's why your build number become NXT-L29C900B500. Just download your EMUI 4.0 firmware. Extract and copy update.app into dload folder then dload it. After dload make factory reset.

Good luck

I am still on EMUI 4 as well ,would be grateful if someone is able to update straight to B563 from EMUI 4 without losing warranty ?

Thanks in advance
[Mate 8 General] yc1437:
1. Backup you existing data using HiSuite or phone Backup app.

1.1. Best to copy your entire internal storage data to external storage as the Huawei Backup do not 100% replicate the files.

2. Perform a factory data reset.

3. Use the Firmware Finder - > System Updater method to update to B563.

4. Restore your data using HiSuite or Backup app.

I got my phone updated to C636B563 using this method. Hope this help.

Hi mate 8 mates!

Im currently in L29C636B320, unrooted, no twrp, purely dloaded since birth of my phone.

1. So to get L29C636B563 via FF method, i need to downgrade first to L29C636B211 which will wipe out my phone, then get the b563 via ff, am i correct?

2.1 From b320, can i download the b211 package via FF?

2.2 which version of b211 will i get? I see a 1.588gb 509mb, 159mb and 1.469gb.

3. Will downgrading to b211 work via dload too? Or will i need rooting twrp or etc?

4. Which b563 will i download aftee? I see two 1.309gb and a 406mb.

5. Will the b563 finally work via dload or something else?

Thanks so much mates! I feel many users will find these info useful :)

Hi, i'm an italian user, i've a Mate 8 NXT-L29C636B170, no root. I tried and tried to update but for each version (b193, b211, b320, b321, b521, b563...) i have "failed to check update package" error.

How Can i fix It?

my files are already backed up. :good: so im ready for file wipe out.

You have C900 you need to rebrand ur phone to C636 so you can get the latest updates.

But Cversion is C636...And in updater...
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
If you are downloading the correct full firmware not ota,you should be able to update with dload method only for MM firmwares.

Extract update.app to dload folder on ur sd card,turn off ur phone and press 3 buttons,power volume up and down till the update start.

Don't try direct downgrade from 320 to 211. There's an specific procedure to downgrade this version of Mate 8. I think the procedure is in XDA an I saw a video on YouTube.

Quick question, I can no longer answer/reply from the notification field.... For example if I get a message on WhatsApp I could before pull down notification bar and answer from there when clicking "Reply to... " now when I click it takes me directly to inside the app.

I don't know if I accidentally remove that feature in some setting. It was possible on Marshmallow and EMUI 4.1 and I'm almost a hundred percent sure it worked in beginning when I went over to Nougat and EMUI 5.0.

Any one know where I can toggle on this setting?

It just came OTA, didn't do anything. I was in beta-program so don't know if that helped. Maybe you should go back to B211 to get that B563..

Follow the link below to rollback to previous version of EMUI4.0 like B211 or earlier.

Then you may wait for B563 OTA. I used Firmware Finder to upgrade to B563 from B211 successfully.

Maybe you just reboot and its fine!!

Nope, that didn't work. I noticed I have to close the answer field and open it again to work. So I have double finger pull up the notification and then double finger pull down notification to be able to answer from notification.

if they support for 18 month then May 2017 then in about 3 month is the deadline :crying:.........anyway we always can hope for custom rom´s.......:highfive:

the following (how to install) is a copy from the first page :

How to install
[MENTION=4115953]gm007[/MENTION]

1-unlock boot loader if you didn't already.

2-install twrp recovery.

3-reboot into recovery and flash update.zip file from the link above,it will give you some error,don't worry reboot and you will have Nougat.

As you can read in step 3 : it will give you some error,don't worry reboot and you will have Nougat.

So, did you reboot to check if you had Nougat?

well duh, its an AL10 stock rom, so naturally the google apps are missing :) chinese firmwares dont have google apps! and AL10 is the chinese model Mate 8.

what do you mean by fingerprint issue?

yes thats normal. normally, ull only have to flash system, recovery, boot and cust partition images, thats sufficient for proper firmware install :)
[Mate 8 General] c|nder:
No offense but what does the flash of cust have to do with it ? So u are saying if I flash cust I will have finger print sensor working ? ( I doubt that ) and jbmc83 I already know about the google apps. I do not recall asking about Google apps in the first place.

Just keep checking the update tools.

You can mess around and debrand and root and all that other crap but its not worth it.
