Thanks .The command should I use to flash the boot.img. And 'this? fastboot flash boot boot.img Right?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
For that, you have to put the boot.img file in fasboot.exe file folder. You will follow my tuto, it will be easier! Especially since you have SRKtools.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
My path to the fastboot and 'this: "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Minimal ADB and Fastboot \ MAF32.exe" I copy boot.img .. and do the command fastboot flash boot boot.img Right?

Hi guys,

I am having this error while writing recovery via fastboot.

anyone has this problem. I checked all xda and google since yesterday some people has this problem but no solution.

I was on nxtc600b320 and try to update nougat. now my phone totally messed up.

I have bootloader unlock. and FRP lock.
[Mate 8 General] bouuman:
Android 6 MM -> Android 7 Nougat, personal experience with this manual update

Hello, i had some troubles when i tryed to Update my Mate 8 to Nougat with this thread so i want to share how i did it if someone get same problems:

i had original Android 6 EMUI 4.1 at the start (not rooted and locked bootloader) so i followed this guide...

download the files as described (place them on a

external sd-card, not on the internal storage

)

step 4 - unlock bootloader worked perfectly and was really easy

ok now the hard part for me...

TWRP 3.0.3 didnt worked

for me after i installed it with fastboot flash recovery, i stucked in then loading screen after starting the phone with the power button + the volumeUp button, "Your device is booting now..." appeared only and nothing happened anymore (waited 10 minutes)... then i pluged in the USB cable again connected with my PC , pressed the power button + the volumeDown button for some seconds, the device restarted in fastboot mode again..... installed TWRP_3.0.2 via fastboot flash recovery again .... pressed power button + the volumeUp button again and it Worked! TWRP 3.0.2 started with no any problems.... continued with step 5.2 from the description and wiped the data (thats why

external SD card,

wiping the data you must delete also the internal storage, your files will disappear if you place them on internal) , installed supersu_v2.79_sr2.zip , update_data_full_hw_eu.zip , update.zip ... reboot... phone didnt started :eek:... installed via fastboot flash recovery TWRP 3.0

.3

and it WORKED! Made the data wipe again via TWRP 3.0

.3

.. Reinstalled supersu_v2.79_sr2.zip , update_data_full_hw_eu.zip , update.zip ... reboot ... made Factory Reset with the Huawei eRecovery Mode (https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/fastboot-erecovery-recovery-upgrade-mode-t3543441) .... FINALLY Android 7 Nougat started :D and worked :D! ... at the end i made step 7.2 and locked the bootloader again so the message at the startup will not appear anymore, everything works great!

[Mate 8 General] MatthBouvier:
I am using this firmware for 2 week now, it is great but my Bluetooth is not working and there is almost no native app. Is it normal? How can I fix the Bluetooth?

I saw that the official update has been released for NXT-L29C432B192, how can I roll back to receive the official update? Any other solution?

Thanks in advance
[Mate 8 General] bouuman:
you flashed the right firmware? my bluetooth is working, usual apps was installed like on MM
[Mate 8 General] MatthBouvier:
Yes I flashed the right firmware. I rolled back to EMUI 4.0 :( and EMUI 5.0 still not available via HiCare... I'll wait few days.

I saw that Huawei released EMUI 5.0 in France but even if my Huawei ID is french, I'm in Sweden for my studies. Don't know if there is any relation

any way thank you for your intersting
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
If you follow correctly the tuto and the bequests, you might root your phone with this link.

Even if It's not said, It's strongly advised to flash an insecure boot.img before to begin. However to format data will useless.

For the insecure boot.img, you will found them in the « Original Android development» section.
[Mate 8 General] ali_vip60:
ok i will do that but when i download B560 i got 3 file zip and in your post only 2file zip iam not know which one i will setup first on TWRP also zip file for root

can u tell me ?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
You follow these tuto instructions as for the files to use.

Those one:

update.zip

update_full_hw_meafnaf.zip

For the root, this one:

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

For the insecure boot.img, you have to take the one which matches with your current rom.

Ex: if you have a NXT-L29C185B320, you take the insecure boot.img B320 here.

[MENTION=4217599]dezx[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] I have also the problem that you guy had in that the suggestion of running twrp 3.0.3 doesn't work, I read the thread and tried the twrp 3.0.2_Nougat but that didn't boot either. So I downgraded to B180 flashed insecure_boot_B180.img and flashed twrp 3.0.2_emui4.0.img via fastboot. I booted into recovery wiped data -> yes and also advance wiped (Dalvik, System, cache, data, internalstorage). Installed update_full_hw_eu.zip but I get ERROR: 7 Error installing zip file. Any suggestions?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I haven't had this error. If I see the cause, I'll report you.

I'm not on my PC, so I can't help you for this moment.

Why are you rollback to the B180?
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
For insecure_boot.img to be able to format data.

I could update via OTA to B560, it comes up in Updater and afterwards use your root guide but I understand that it doesn't give complete root.

Or I also saw someone posting Russian link to update_full_hw.img.zip and update.zip that is suppose not to give error 7.

hi,

i follow this tuto to update to b560 and my mate8 is bricked!

beginning my mate was AL10, i change oem and before bricked i was in nxt-L29C432B320.

i trying skrtool v2.0, utility, 13.install cust, 14.fastboot boot/recovery/system and always BRICKED.

how can i get out of my problem?

thanks for reponse.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Not really understanding what you tell. This tuto doesn't brick a Mate 8 device. You have made a bad manipulation. To understand what, you should be clearer with what you have made.

Already, what do you mean by «bricked»?

Because, It's really difficult to brick a device. If you have access to the bootloader, it can certainly be recoverable.
[Mate 8 General] sexyfou:
hi fransyroy & other, are you french because me i'm?

i suppose i made a bad manip... maybe. i have bootloader (stay blocked) & fastboot. i can't shutdown my device!

i don't know how put pics, "url of ur image"?? sorry
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:

I'm at work. I can't always answer now.
[Mate 8 General] sexyfou:
yes i have sorry, i'm desperate
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
So your phone isn't bricked.

You can install a TWRP recovery.

Plug your phone to the PC

Goes to the TWRP

Mount the data

Extract update.app to the update.zip file

Put it in a dload folder

Put the dload folder at the root of internal sdcard

Install it with the dload method written in the OP post

Make a factory reset after

Reboot

One question. What is your phone model?
[Mate 8 General] sexyfou:
thanks but....

i tryed more time install twrp with adb/fastboot and it doesn't work i don't understand

my device mate8 (origin AL10) 4G/64G

which version of twrp please ?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
What firmware have you before make this tuto?

Like your phone is an AL10, perhaps you had to pass it before in L29.
[Mate 8 General] sexyfou:

[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
So it's the good firmware.

[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
That is okay, every one that has unlocked bootloader get that message! Just ignore it let the phone boot up.

Adb commands are not run in fastboot, they are run when phone is running the OS. You have to enable USB debugging from Developer Options

i know all that, thanks leo

but device remains blocked on
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Did you try?

However, perhaps you should try to reinstall the B320. Make a pause, and try again later. Sometimes, make a pause enable to reflect, and succeed. I have also had some issue to install it till I use the dload method.

OEM unlock greyed out

I followed this and it worked.

When I checked the settings - > developer options -> OEM unlock is ON but greyed out. When I was in L29C432B180 ( my bootloader was unlocked and this option was still available to toggle ON and OFF) But in B560 it is currently greyed out.

When I relocked the bootloader , and it was available.

To root B560 it permanently one of the prerequisites from the other thread by [MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] is that this option shouldn't be greyed out.

So I tried to unlock the bootloader again but it is getting greyed out.

Originally my phone was AL10 but I debranded to L29C432B180 and then did the above procedure to bring it to B560.

OEM unlock is ON now but greyed out. Does this effect the rooting process in the other thread ?

how to make the OEM unlock option available after unlocking the bootloader? Please help
[Mate 8 General] Nirak:
[MENTION=3292577]Samavb[/MENTION] I have the same, debranded from AL10 to L29 few months ago, flashed 560 and rooted it via the other thread. My OEM unlock is active (blue) AND greyed out. Afaik there's no effect on root, but as you i don't have a clue how to convert to the 'nomal' setting
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
It's normal if your OEM unlocked option become greyed out. As long as OEM unlocked is switch on. You'll be fine.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I wonder if there will not something to do in the system/default.prop file, or in the default.prop of boot.img, it's the same. There is a line which match with OEM, this one:

ro.oem_unlock_supported=1

It didn't exist before... e.g: in the B320.
[Mate 8 General] Samavb:
Thank you

Thank you so much for the reply. [MENTION=394546]Nirak[/MENTION] [MENTION=2570493]dexz[/MENTION]

Don't know how much it will effect. Rooting process went smoothly.

My Mate is rooted. :D:):):good: AL10 debranded to L29C432B560.

Very happy.

Is the SD card required or just recommended

Is the SD card required or just recommended
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Highly recommended, since you will be wiping the phone anything on the internal memory will be deleted. I guess you could push files while in TWRP via adb sideload after wiping the internal memory...

But why sometime , we can flash only 1 file to upgrade the phone ?
[Mate 8 General] Bilal.Android:
Will I lose my data if I used dload method ???

Please, tell me!!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
You're right, if you use the dload method, only the update.zip is enough. I think the update.zip has all files, but for a reason that I don't know, the 2 zip files are necessary in an installation like the TWRP installation. Maybe due to this sort of installation.

I conceive that I haven't sought the cause too much.

Issue I'm facing is that the build number is showing "NRD90M test-keys" instead of the actual build number.

[Mate 8 General] wmfreak:
I am looking to debrand my AL10 running Nougat to C432. Anyone done it? If yes please advice! thank you
[Mate 8 General] Samavb:
how to debrand NXT-AL10 to L29C432

Debranding - is a risky process. It should be done carefully with complete focus to avoid any further problems.

Please read below carefully. Go through each step from top to bottom.

First

If you have AL10 downgrade to marshmallow.

How?

Connect your Mate 8 to Computer

Open Hisuite

Restore it back to the OS it came from.

It will take few minutes to complete.

For this to work. You have to be stock ROM, locked bootloader, and stock recovery. Otherwise, Hisuite will not go ahead with the process.

Assuming you downgraded to marshmallow, now you have to do the below steps. You need SRK tools for that.

1) Unblock bootloader

2) Install TWRP (if you are on EMUI4.1 then install TWRP for EMUI4.1. If you are on EMUI 4.0 then install TWRP for EMUI4.0)

3) Root Huawei Mate 8.

Using SRK tools you can do all the above 3 steps easily.

Proceed to debranding only if you have completed the above steps successfully.

Debranding process - requires root.

1) Reboot to TWRP recovery

2) Take FULL TWRP BKP of your phone and select SD card storage. (very important step)

3) Follow the steps in the below video - Somboons showed the steps very clearly. Do each step carefully & pause the video where ever necessary.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZVsIKtdgV4

In order to debrand to L29C432, you need L29C432B180 zip file. You should be able to find this file on Huawei Mate 8 thread. I will try to update this post with the link if I manage to find it first. But I hope you can find it. This is a very tricky process so I would advise you to get the zip file for B180 firmware from trusted sources like XDA developers.

While doing these steps, your Huawei Mate 8 might not exactly give the same output like he got. Don't worry. All you have to do press volume up and power button and do a factory reset.

After rebooting, check the internal storage space. You should NOT lose any space. If you are having 64GB then your phone shows that. If it is showing only 3GB then it is a problem. This is one issue you have to be very careful while debranding. I faced this problem and luckily I had TWRP bkp and that saved me

So please do this with caution. Good luck. :good:

:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
[Mate 8 General] wmfreak:
Wow! Thanks so much for all your help. So there is no way of doing this without downgrading to MM?
[Mate 8 General] realkibou:
I read a lot and tried different methods, but non worked.

How do I update to the latest stock version from this version? Native update does not work, no custom rom flash works.

Anyone has a fail proof easy way to come back to the HUAWEI standard update schedule?
[Mate 8 General] ubermorgan:
Hi guys, I need some help with my mate 8. I was using SRK tool. Changed OEM info then reset as video instruction, then change to.build.display.id. that went well because my build number was l29c185b200, after SRK tool, it was showing l29c900. The phone was supposed to reset but it didn't. So I reset then was stuck in a bootloop. I still have recovery twrp but all I have is l29c900 and nothing else. Its almost as if my OS has been wiped. Where to from here?
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I belive C900 is from incorrect rebranding. Something must have gone wrong when you changed the files.

In regards to what to do next I would suggest downloading files for what version you want. Extract boot.img, recovery and rom-files and flashing everything from scratch.
[Mate 8 General] ubermorgan:
Thanks very much for replying and for the advice. It makes sense sort of. I can understand extracting boot image but can you be a bit more specific about recovery and rom files?
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
https://youtu.be/XAtoaL6i_i0

https://youtu.be/AIyEO4uoWLc

Or just flashing via fastboot without going through SRK tool, it's the same commands as in the video.

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot flash system system.img
[Mate 8 General] ubermorgan:
I don't have access to fastboot. It's either a continuous bootloop or twrp. I haven't done this before but in twrp I have to install boot IMG to the boot partition but what about the recovery and system imgs?
[Mate 8 General] ubermorgan:
Just tried to get into fastboot mode and I got an interesting message. I got in red function error 10 (boot.img) and beneath that I got in red boot.img failed.

Does this mean I have to keep trying boot images? Or perhaps insecure boot images?
[Mate 8 General] ubermorgan:
This keeps getting better. Now I don't have twrp. When I try fastboot I keep getting function error no 10 and boot.img failed. On the upside there no more bootloop. Just Huawei recovery and no PC lol.

I'm assuming this useless lump of enthusiasm is now fully bricked.
[Mate 8 General] leoleo333:
So in this method:

1) Download Stock ROM for Honor 5c from above and extract it.

2) Now create a folder dload in the root of your SD card and place the update.app file in that folder.

3) Now turn off your device.

4) Now press “Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button” together. The update process will start automatically.

5) Now wait for some time to complete the process.

6) Done.

Do I need to put update.app in sdcard folder on my phone btw its honor 5c or can I put it on Micro SD card I am asking this because I dont have access of my internal storage.
[Mate 8 General] ketulharini:
I have L09C346B150 Android 6 EMUI 4.0.3

THIS is Australia Vodafone version.

So how can I update to Nougat with this firmware?

Is it possible to debrand this phone.

If yes which is the best model number I can debrand and how?

[Mate 8 General] rossrosh007:
Would simply upgrading from C185 (Middle East/Africa) to C432 (Europe) stock rom by SDcard>dload>update.app method work,
