Yes I can confirmed this method is working. I can flash to any region. Just need to change oeminfo afterward. Tested on C636 & C432.

For those who didn't get Nougat OTA also can use this.

First thing is, yo, relax. Take a deep breath.

Then make a folder dload and put the files.

Volume-up and power and force boot into Huawei recovery. Force boot till you see firmware checking. Wait.

Reboot.

Relax.

[Mate 8 General] wmfreak:
So you're saying I can debrand my AL10C00 to L29C432 using firmware finder? To change the oem info and cust I still need to root in order to use Somboon's tool. Or is there other way?
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
Sure if you want to debrand you need root.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yes. My phone is C636. I used Firmware Finder to flash C432 (example C432B180) and successful loaded to B180. My build number become NXT-C900B180. After that I changed ro.build to C432 using SRK Tool(of course with root). Reboot it and become NXT-C432B180. Instantly I got OTA B192 and updated it. After B192 I supposed to get OTA B560 but no update at all. Then I used Firmware Finder to trick system updater to push B560. After that I got B560 OTA and updated it. :laugh:
[Mate 8 General] wmfreak:
Wow what a great find. The thing is I am already running Nougat B577 on my AL10 and from what I read both twrp and root are not totally and fully working with nougat.
[Mate 8 General] rophiroth:
On google play says my phone is not compatible, that was what I really mean. Also not rooted so I think apk wouldnt work. Also dont understand the windows app x'D.

model nxt-L09* with last beta 7.0 for this model.

Thakns anyway
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
There's an issue with google play. If you want the apk download it from [MENTION=4115953]gm007[/MENTION] given link
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
Download the application from the first page of the thread. No need to root to use the application.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
I have no issue with Nougat rooted. I'm on full rooted as far as I know. Adaway, busybox & lucky patcher are working fine.

With Firmware Finder method is good for those who didn't get Nougat OTA and also it doesnt required twrp or root. Unless you wanted to debrand the phone :)
[Mate 8 General] rophiroth:
You have Right, I got problem with the "model" because the GUI was a bit unresponsible and confusing, but now its working and show version B200 to my model :P
[Mate 8 General] wmfreak:
Hmm, that's good news. I can either try rebranding while running Nougat or rollback to 386 then root surely works.

If anybody has debranded while running Nougat pls share your steps. Thanks
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Ok. I have tested flashing any downgrade/Nougat firmware and any region while running Nougat using Firmware Finder but it was failed. I think need to rollback to EMUI4.0/4.1 first then it will work.
[Mate 8 General] konsole1567:
There is a tread for FF and it has a seperat FF apk for download which provides more features as the app from play store, but i cant install this apk. Only the app from the play store i can install but this app is useless. It finds some firmware but it seams that those firmwares are not signed by Huawei so thats why firmware installation fails. I tired the FF app from play store also for my Samsung S2 tablet, dosent found any firmware at all.

That's because you need to format the data partition. You need insecure boot from here

Flash boot and then TWRP and then format and then do whatever you want to do ;)
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Damn it is not working.. I took the B320 file (which is the version I currently have) flashed it and then reflashed TWRP but when I go to Format Data type yes I still get Failed message
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Try this way.

Flash insecure boot of your version

Flash TWRP

Reboot to recovery

Try format, if it fails, again reboot into bootloader and flash insecure boot and reboot into system.

Then reboot into recovery and format.

Encryption is too strong lol
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Hahaha it sure is, silly encryption!

Well it's not working for me get fail every time. I even tried flashing the insecure boot.img from within TWRP.

Does the insecure boot.img need to compatible with TWRP?

TWRP is build as per EMUI version.

Insecure boot is made as per the Huawei boot version.

After flashing, reboot the phone and then try

Yes it will be possible or rather already is available for yours and all mate 8 devices. these are the steps you must take to upgrade with no hack needed.

1. create and account with HUAWEI

2. logon to the hi app using the same credentials you used to create the account with HUAWEI

3. scroll to the bottom and you'll see an update pending.

4. select the update icon

5. Update to version 5.0 featuring android 7.0

I initially flashed B520. But I loss file explorer. And build number not show correct build. When I try to flash twrp again thru pc it won't me anymore.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
You can only flash data file or dload data file to get the version back
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
Use dload to rollback to marshmallow.
[Mate 8 General] Khryzz8:
Dload via emui updated? That's not showing also.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Another way to update via OTA is via flashify

Here is the detailed method.
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
You download the full firmware zip for emui4,you extract update.app from the zip to a "dload" folder on ur sd card.turn off ur phone and press the 3 buttons,power volume up down.

You need stock recovery first.

That's my another problem. My twrp recovery is not working. When I press volume up + power, it just goes to stock recovery.

Here's a picture. When you right click in the folder while pressing shift, the option to open a command window appears. Use this coding to get into recovery mode" fastboot reboot bootloader" then once in recovery mode enter this coding "fastboot oem unlock" followed by your unlocking code. :p

3. what do you mean by no hack? does it mean i don't need to root and install twrp?

thanks mate!!!! :D

Using Google is faster than asking here ;)

1) https://uniportal.huawei.com/accounts/register.do?method=toRegister&nls=en

2) Login: Settings, Huawei-id and then HiCare will use it. HiSuite is used to manage your smartphone connected to PC (to be installed also)
