The 12-15 version to gain root. Then you can upgrade again the beta 1 is only for honor 9 and u got a dedicated thread for your recovery. I'll look into decryption when I have time. Not sure if I'll be able to defeat it.

Your data is partition is encrypted that's why you can't mount data.

He can use 12-15 to gain root
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
yea im on al10c00b562 , r u sure u installed superSU? cus i just can install superuser not superSU! tried that method twice! (downgrade,unlock bootloader,twrp,data partition decryption,flash b562,flash b562data, flash supersu for emui5,reboot) (although i can install superuser but i got some problems in my device with superuser, like adb and lucky patcher not detecting root)

i've test flashing "supersu for emui5" in twrp12-15 and got this

But after reboot got binary needs to be updated and got this :(

i guess no decryption no systemless root :crying:
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yes. I flashed SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0
[Mate 8 General] :
Mount system and vendor. You didn't got it properly
[Mate 8 General] :
Mate 9 users has root with encrypted so your guess is wrong
[Mate 8 General] :
A update will come any day with mtp fixed then ill have to cut down my daily work on this project. I must focus on real life more than this.

[Mate 8 General] xb360:
Can you help to list out which recovery, update.zip, update_data_full that you use?

And each step of flashing. Did you do any changes on the MOUNT setting in TWRP?
[Mate 8 General] :
Oh and by update I was referring to 3.0.3 MTP working. I'll fix it later today so don't yourw
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
I'm assuming you have already unlocked bootloader and TWRP. (On Android 6.0 - EMUI 4.0 / 4.1)

My current build is L29C636B180 example.

Here are the steps

1. Reboot to TWRP

2. Wipe menu -> Format data / Advanced Wipe (Dalvik, System, Cache and Data)

3. Flash Nougat (I'm using L29C636B521 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70207292&postcount=1472) after complete "DO NOT REBOOT"

4. Flash frp-twrp.img (Can be found at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70173926&postcount=246) after complete "DO NOT REBOOT"

5. Flash patched-boot.zip (can be found at http://xdaforums.com/honor-8/how-to/twrp-nougat-edition-t3504140)

6. Reboot menu -> Recovery

7. Wipe menu -> Swipe to Factory Reset

8. Flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip

(Can be found at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70173926&postcount=246) after complete "REBOOT"

9. Once everything loaded. Open SuperSu -> Setting -> Default access -> Grant (Now your Mate 8 is rooted)

10. Good luck.

I didn't changed any MOUNT setting in TWRP.
[Mate 8 General] :
Here's 3.0.3 test version with MTP (hopefully enabled)

If someone can try it'd be great

[Mate 8 General] xb360:
Thanks for the steps.

I got 2 more questions.

For the first step you using which TWRP? OP or M8recovery?

Did you also flash update_data_full after flashing update.zip?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
First step is coming from whichever TWRP you are installed (EMUI 4.0 or 4.1). TWRP for Nougat only at step 4.

I didn't flashed update_data_full but if you want to flash it make sure after flashing update_data_all do not reboot it then go to step 4.

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

Yes. That version enable MTP. :svetius:
[Mate 8 General] :
At boot? As well? It'll be a last update for a while. Since I need to spend more time with my family spent too much time with phone and pc atm
[Mate 8 General] :
We'll if you connect your phone to pc you won't need to re enable MTP to get it listed?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Correct. I just plug it in. I can see my Mate 8 instantly without re-enable the MTP.
[Mate 8 General] :
Great thanks for your report :)
[Mate 8 General] xb360:
I use OTG when flashing file, all your TWRP work fine with OTG.

I'll try MTP to PC after this

You have formatted your data before flashing nougat right? To get rid of the encryption.

The ROM still work fine without update_data_full?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You're most welcome. Thank you too. Have a wonderful holiday with your family and Happy new year. :)
[Mate 8 General] brisinger08:
MTP works for me too :good:

Happy holidays everyone!
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yes. I have formatted my data before flashing Nougat that will be step 2.

The ROM still working without update_data_full but you won't have any keyboard only google voice. For me, I just skipped google sign in then download google keyboard apk to fix it.
[Mate 8 General] :
Oh wow thanks for that feedback! This one does as well 0.0 I never saw an option to enable it as m9 users had so I thought it didn't work

The rom will just not have Bluetooth and nfc if you don't flash that file. Though that's easy fixed tbh. A custom system.img will fix it without issues. Yes I run Uncrypted partition. Don't worry u still can flash the data_hw_full if correct device. I flashed one for p9 and it seemed to re encrypt my partition or it totally messed it up. Or maybe it was the update itself. Anyway the update full hw will work on no encrypted devices as well.

I'll do thanks :) and too you too!

I've already removed the link for this one since u don't have 3 partitions which I forgot to add.

Same to u
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
That's weird. The bluetooth working fine with my Bluetooth headset. I'm not sure about NFC because I don't have other device to try but I can enable NFC function.
[Mate 8 General] xb360:
MTP work for me too.

I have tried all your TWRP because wanting to get SuperSU. And so far none have issue with OTG.

I manage to flash data_hw_full and get it booted too. Data partition also not encrypted. I made some changes on dexz steps. I'll post my steps for others that want to try it.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You got rooted? That's great.
[Mate 8 General] xb360:
My Mate is in blank state as I have flashed Nougat many times which manage to boot but when flash SuperSU it stuck. So I have wiped clean everything, and flash using m8recmtp.img for TWRP. But I guess any other TWRP in this thread will able to get the job done.

Following the steps above I manage to boot into Android with SuperSU, but all the additional apps, themes, and keyboard is not present.

So I made some changes on the steps and file:

1. After flash update.zip, I also flashed "data_hw_full" before flashing frp-twrp.img

2. I use this patched boot instead as it's for Mate 8 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70213478&postcount=14

3. I skip step "7. Wipe menu -> Swipe to Factory Reset"

After all the steps, the phone reboot for few times before finally load up Android. I manage to get root with SuperSU and retain all the additional files, Data partition also not encrypted. Tried NFC and bluetooth, both working.

Thumbs up for [MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2570493]dexz[/MENTION] for these files and tutorial :good::good:
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yes without flashing update_data additional apps, themes, and keyboard are not included. Anyway I have downgraded my mate 8 to B211 and received B521 OTA. Will try to root it later.
[Mate 8 General] Icchan:
achieved root with supersu on nxt-l29 using nxt-a10b562 rom without wiping.

I had reflashed a clean boot.img (since previous try to get boot patched failed, i didn't know if my boot was "clean") from a b562 update, flashed recovery frp-twrp.img, rebooted to recovery, flashed through twrp supersu, rebooted to system, and finally updated supersu app through play store.

I found a trick when you can't format /data.

1. In twrp start format data

2. Wait a sec and power of the device

3. Boot into bootloader and flash stock recovery back on.

4. Reboot and wait. The device will try to reboot a few times and then open erecovery.

5. Select format Data and a low level format will start.

6. Boot into bootloader and flash twrp back on.

7. Boot into recovery and /data is available again.
[Mate 8 General] cline2:
I did your instruction. It works. The problem is titanium backup won't restore apps only data. Also it won't backup apps due insufficient space. Are yours work?

I never use titanium backup. I backup my apps data using Hisuite and it's working fine. Sorry can't really help you on this. Maybe other user can help you.

[Mate 8 General] ksvictor:
I don't get root. I tried with a couple of different nougat versions using twrp 3.0.3.0. Flashing the patchboot for mate 8 seems to crash my installation, and flashing the SuperSU zip, makes the /data partition encrypted. But root I don't get.

Good day my friend. Does the ota update you got is for stable Nougat version? I got a Mate 8 L09 but it is kinda hard to play with. I managed to unlock bootloader/ install TWRP / root / debrand it (went from L09 to L29...)/ and then installed a nougat beta filmware. I made sure to flash both update and data update zips. However the second ended with error. Rebooted in nougat but no bluetooth / keyboard.

I just want a working Nougat version (don't really need root/ TWRP). can i just follow the 10-steps procedure provided by [MENTION=4217599]dezx[/MENTION] ?

Thanks for your support.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
I didn't include update_data installation on my steps but you still can follow it. The reason why you don't have keyboard and bluetooth because of update_data (the second file) just make sure after you install update_data DO NOT factory reset but even you did just reinstall update_data again.

Good luck
[Mate 8 General] zappomax:
After two days attempting, finally I got Nougat rooted. But something is wrong anyway...: I can't set pin or password! So I can't set my fingerprint.

[Mate 8 General] amin318:
Flash patched boot before firmware
[Mate 8 General] zappomax:
and not after? Or I've to flash patched boot twice?

'cos the problem, I suppose, is that while I'm flashing the two Nougat files I see twrp give me some errors ("mount" and "unmount") so the room at the end is corrupted
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
No if u flash patched boot after flashing any +b57x u'll get security crash problem

Try this out worked for me

1- factory data reset

2- flash patched boot

3- flash firmware and data

4- flash twrp emui5 recovery image

5- reboot to twrp recovery

6- factory data reset

7- flash superSU emui5

That's it

And ignore those cust and vendor mount errors
[Mate 8 General] zappomax:
I'll try.

Anyway I'm trying to flash NXT-L29C432B560, not b57x rom. Is it the same?

R U sure about step #6? If U do a reset at this point, don't U go to lose the data flashed? When I did a reset after the flashing of the 2 Nougat files, I noticed big problems at the first boot (no keybord, no bluetooth, missed sections in the setting)

Last question: can U do the above procedure also starting from EMUI 4.1 rom with a patched boot (insecure_boot_B320.img) flashed?

Thx a lot!!
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
somehow i failed to flash c432b560, i dunno about that but on al10c00b562 i flashed patch after firmware and it worked .

yes u should flash data after second factory reset, my point is flash patched boot before flashing b57x

for goin back from emui5; u can dload ur last emui4.x

this is for emui4.1 to rooted emui 5, im not sure about unsecure emui4.1

1. unlock bootloader

2. install twrp 4.1

3. factory reset

4. flash patched boot

5. flash firmware

6. flash recovery for emui 5

7. reboot to recovery

8. factory reset

9. flash supersu for emui5 and data

i assumed u can flash patched boot after firmware for b56x but im not sure
[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
im also in same boat.. rebranded 636 to 432 for nougat.. without root its flawless.. with root headaches.. i can confirm that flashing patched boot after causes issues with settings.. esp developer options which force closes.. will attempt your way and report back
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
I appreciate beta testers, but this is why I wait for official release, and, a few days after official, just to be sure.
[Mate 8 General] zappomax:
Ok, I'll try but I'm not sure U go to have a decrypted rom at least if U flash the patched boot before the firmware.

[Mate 8 General] Burzy:
Hello.

I was trying to root NXT-L29C432B560 firmware. This is what I done:

1. Reboot to TWRP 3.0.2.0

2. Wipe menu -> Advanced Wipe (Dalvik, System, Cache and Data)

3. Flash Nougat zips (update_full_hw_eu.zip and then update.zip)

4. Flash frp-twrp.img

5. Flash patched-boot.zip

6. Reboot menu -> Recovery

6.1 - I don't do factory reset (Wipe menu -> Swipe to Factory Reset) - #130

7. Flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip

After those steps it looks like I have root, keyboard, working bluetooth etc, but I cant get to Security tab in Settings.

Anyone have idea what I'm doing wrong?

Maybe it's not possible at this time to root NXT-L29C432B560 firmware at all?

Yes. Someone posted it somewhere in the other thread. I wanted to try it but I don't have oeminfo for C605. :)

You can try to flash full C605 earlier version. If the build number still C900. You might need change the ro.build to NXT-L09C605B002 and oeminfo (both step must be rooted). Unless you don't have problem with the build number being NRD90M-test key then ignore it :D

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarckozZ:
Guys please help... I'm desperate right now...

My father got an AT&T Moto E, I tried to flash 6.0 on it, The bootloader.img file flashed but nothing else flashed from that 6.0 firmwaRE.

I realised AT&T wont allow us to do that so I left the phone on 5.1...

Today, a security patch update dropped for the phone... I insalled it but it turned off and it can't boot anymore.

I can enter bootloader and use fastboot commands, but when I try to flash the stock firmware from AT&T using fastboot it says

(bootloader) Invalid signed image

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

and the bootloader log says

Invalid PIV signed system image

It seems to be a problem with signature verification or something related to it...

Im trying to flash this fitmware: SURNIA_ATT_5.1_LPI23.29-18.9-2_cid1_subsidy-ATT_CFC.xml.zip which is the last one available for this AT&T variant.

So, is there a way to flash this AT&T variant? I also tried RSD Lite but no success on recognizing the phone..

Any help will be appreciated... thanks in advance..
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
What is running on your XT1527 now (stock/factory rom 5.1 compatible for AT&T) ?? Bootloader status ?

One of my SIL has this and I just updated her's with the latest update, download OTA and just flashed/upgraded directly, took about 20 minutes - easy & didn't have any issues with it at all, nothing (as described). She is on T-Mobile and all is good.

Backup all important data & contents, especially those on the mSD card/storage partition, be sure to do a full wipe/factory reset before trying the upgrade. If necessary, do a basic setup as a new device, wait a little while for everything to be updated & settle down, reboot it for good measures & then do the system check for upgrade.

Of course, my own XT1521 not getting this & running Nougat 7.1.1 nicely - unlike the XT1527 that can't be rooted to run custom Rom's.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
With the bootloader locked, there's not much you can do, whether the downloaded update is corrupted or not - not as easy to find & erase that "update" and start over. Wait for a newer OTA and then, cross your fingers & cycle thru the cautions & warnings; and, hit that "Go" or "Yes" bottom and hopefully the magic will take care of itself.

My SIL's XT1527 did fine with the AT&T update, and, she's on T-Mo USA network - so far so good, no complaints and just works.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarckozZ:
Could you help me with something? Can you tell me which build number does her phone have right now? Go to Settings > About phone and please tell me the build number and build date under kernel version... And if you have time, use fastboot and /fastboot getvar all, so I can see the exact version... maybe that can help me figure this out! Thanks in advance...
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Here's the link to the screenshot of her XT1527 after it updated - I took a screenshot afterward, just in case.

https://goo.gl/photos/38HQicN1bq6KzQoC8

It looked identical to what you have ?? Her Moto E is working just fine as I would've heard otherwise, (she's on T-Mobile) been a few days now. I won't get a chance to do anything or run those command until this Saturday when we gather. I suspect your download might've been corrupted and/or somehow one of the extracted file or those on the device had error.

So glad that mine (as a backup) is XT1521 and bootloader unlocked, now running custom Nougat 7.1.1 (ResurrectionRemix) and it's on T-Mobile also. Maybe time to look for one of these pre-owned ones on eBay.
