Thank you for this, but it doesn't work for me.

I tried with dload files in my SD Card, and 3 buttons, but it failed with error at 38 %. And the option of local update doesn't exist on version B320, i searched averywhere, but didn't find it.

My phone is a NXT-L29C432B320.

Someone can help me PLEASE ? ? ? ? ?
[Mate 8 General] achillesgk:
Firstl, you have to downgrade to 192 or 180.

If I downgrade, it will work ? Sure ?
[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
I have been back and forth several times and it works. You need to have the rollback package found here https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/guide-how-to-downgrade-mate-8-emui-5-to-t3515202.. and follow instructions on that thread
[Mate 8 General] Laserman49:
Tried with this method, but doesn't work. Error said "Incompatible package", or my phone is a NXT-L29C432B320 and I took package NXT-L29C432B180.

It's the rollback for pass Emui 5.0 to Emui 4.0, not for pass back to B1320 to B180 or B192.
[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
Correct.. once you upgrade to b560 you can use the rollback to go to b192.. from there you upgrade back to b320
[Mate 8 General] Laserman49:
Just tried with this method, with the unlocked Bootloader :

https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/help/downgrade-b320-to-b180-t3407412/post70789216#post70789216

I tried with NXT-L29C432B180 AND after with B192, but both of them doesn't work.

Error message : "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correcte update package."

How can I do please ?
[Mate 8 General] Jpsy:
I did it to B192. For that :

I rolled back from B320 => my phone became L29C900B300.

Then, I Used dload to flash B192. Before reboot, I did factory reset and Wipe cache => my phone became L29C432B192.

Finaly, on the phone, with Hicare, I chosed install precos OS and had B560 (OTA).
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Hi

I tried to install TWRP-3.0.3 with this method in the case where it could be the issue.

Because, before I made it with TWRP or srktool.

But always the same result! :(

I would look to try dload or via TWRP 3.0.2, only I wonder if it works. Could I have a TWRP recovery for Nougat?

If I have the times, I'll see to test it, I want times, in the case where I should come back to Marshmallow. Because I don't want Nougat without TWRP.
[Mate 8 General] gthebest:
Which version of Hicare you have? The old preinstalled or the newer version? ΅Which country you choose? Did you log in to your huawei account?
[Mate 8 General] Jpsy:
I Use the newest version and I logged with my Huawei account.

My country is France.
[Mate 8 General] gthebest:
Do you have VIP account to huawei?
[Mate 8 General] Jpsy:
No, I Have a classic one
[Mate 8 General] NaoNative:
TWRP 3.0.3 is for Nougat. The 3.0.2 is for marshmallow.

So you should flash both files with 3.0.2. Then flash 3.0.3 once Nougat installed, or later.

Personaly I can't boot to 3.0.3, even if installed, but it works. I use srktool to make my phone reboot to recovery. The traditional method freeze my phone when entering recovery.

Hello,

I have a few question;

I am on LC29C432B320 and i would like to update to nougat because the firmware is not stable and its slow.

What firmware do you think is the best for my phone, and is it possible to update without root

Kind regard,

Karayemis
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
So what I feared was true, twrp isn't really functionnal for me or you. Why? Because, it's an official TWRP. Ok, you can go to the twrp recovery with srktools. But well, it's not terrible. I gonna reflect.

Thanks!

How many people had my problem?

This one where the twrp-3.0.3 doesn't work after the installation.

This one:

How many of these people have a phone with a firmware of Chinese origin?

I would like to know why I've this issue and if the problem is due to the firmware origin. Mine was

NXT-DL00

Here is my partition list, I would like to compare with someone who has the same issue, and also someone who hasn't the issue.

Thanks! ;)
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
I'm still in L29C432B192 can I use your files to flash the B560?

You can flash it via twrp (if you still have twrp) - flash img or fastboot
[Mate 8 General] Jesus1988:
Seems better, but now i get Error7 => Next try with the russian files ;)
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yes and the russian site did worked for me without any issues but now going back to my original region C636. Was just having fun with the debranding. :)
[Mate 8 General] Jpsy:
On B192, try hicare, with "precoses OS",

You should Have the OTA B560.

I did like that
[Mate 8 General] Jesus1988:
Damn, same sh*t => again black screen ...

Had a mistake, i also wiped vendor, product and version by mistake, is this necessary?!
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You shouldn't wiped those partitions.
[Mate 8 General] Jesus1988:
Do you know how i can fix this ? :D
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
LOL! Try dload to EMUI 4.0 example B1XX then start over again.
[Mate 8 General] xxlap1xx:
Thanks. However it's not working. The phone didn't reboot itself this time but gave me these errors. Also the SuperSU app was not installed after the flash. Any idea how to go around this?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
It's because of you didn't install patched boot. As you can see from INSTALL menu(TWRP). Your internal storage size will be "0MB" when you select storage.

Anyway if you reboot to the system. Is the SuperSU app installed?

Edit : Ah I see. You're using TWRP 3.0.3.0 . Try to use the one I've posted earlier.
[Mate 8 General] xxlap1xx:
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes it is "0MB" indeed. How do I install patched boot? SuperSU app is not installed after reboot.
[Mate 8 General] Jesus1988:
dload 192 also results in black screen :eek:
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Try flashing the TWRP that I posted earlier at Page 26 then install SuperSU again.

Try to press and hold Vol up + Power then wipe cache and reboot.
[Mate 8 General] Jesus1988:
Also tried that, no changes ...
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You managed to dload B192 100% completed?
[Mate 8 General] Jesus1988:
Yes, but it doesn't boot ...

Whatever: I'll give it another try tomorrow ;)
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Hmmm. Using Huawei Extractor app extract boot.img , cust.img, recovery.img & system.img from UPDATE.APP then flash them via fastboot.
[Mate 8 General] karayemis:
How can roll back to B192 ?
[Mate 8 General] Jesus1988:
Also did that, no changes ...

Interesting that i can't get into TWRP anymore (Freezing at "Your device is booting now")
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Flash TWRP for EMUI 4.0.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
What is this TWRP?

TWRP 3.0.3 doesn't work for me, impossible to reboot inside after install.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
That url TWRP is 3.0.2.0. If you can't reboot to TWRP. Flash it via fastboot.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I can reboot on 1 TWRP but only the 3.0.2.

I tried the 3.0.3 with:

Installation in the TWRP 3.0.2

Via srktool (replaced the recovery twrp 3.0.2 by twrp3.0.3, in the location \recovery\mate8\emui41\mate8.zip)

With fastboot

Impossible to boot inside with this 3 methods!

But don't worry, I know how put again the 3.0.2 after to fix it. My issue is this 3.0.3.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
I don't like to use TWRP 3.0.3.0 as the patched boot doesn't really work with it. That's why I used TWRP 3.0.2.0 for Nougat
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
And, does it work? You are in 3.0.2 with Nougat?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yes. I'm currently using it. The one I have posted earlier on is for Nougat.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
frd twrp is for Nougat? But it's a 3.0.2, right?

Yes. It's build for Nougat.

[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You don't need root to install B560. All you need is TWRP custom recovery then install update_data.zip & update.zip but of course you need to unlock bootloader for this method.

No, i'll wait till this gets a bit more stable ;)

[Mate 8 General] ronnie72:

You who helped me, I looked that (first quote below) an I wondered me if my was due the encryption. When I installed the L29C432B320, I had a message which said me my phone will be encrypted... or something like that.

In This quote, it's said "You won't remove encryption with a stock kernel, however, in the second quote below, he talked to format data, I think it's to remove encryption. Because 'Format data' and 'wipe data', it's almost a double job, right?

Maybe it's the same encryption which block me to install the twrp-3.0.3 or for Nougat.

[Mate 8 General] dexz:
In order to make the root working you need to install the patched boot and yes you need to format data, wipe dalvik, cache, data & system before you install patched boot then install update_data & update. Then reboot to twrp recovery again and this time install supersu. By using those files I've posted earlier.

PS: make sure BL is unlocked. If bootloader detected unlocked. You might need to unlock it again. Something it show unlocked but actually it doesn't. No harm of trying it.
[Mate 8 General] bergoulle:
Regarding NFC, sure i can activated it (Menu or Shortcut), but isn't detected by any devices.

Is it really working ?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Wait, I react to that.

Let's begin by

In order to make the root working

You talk about of actual root or the root after installation? My phone is actually rooted so my question.

After, you talk to make that

Install the patched boot

Format data

Wipe dalvik, cache, data & system

And again install the patched boot

Install update_data

Install update

Reboot to twrp recovery again

Install supersu (files you've posted earlier)

My questions

Right?

Why twice the patched boot? Due to the "format & wipes"?

This SuperSU ?

update_data & update B560,right?

Not installation of twrp-3.0.3?
[Mate 8 General] zappomax:
After two days attempting, finally I got Nougat rooted following this https://xdaforums.com/sho...3&postcount=95. But something is wrong anyway...: I can't set pin or password! So I can't set my fingerprint.

Anyone know what it happened?

I'm close to rollback to Marshmallow..
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Ok I misunderstood you. I didnt know you have patched boot already.

and Yes. You only need to patched boot once. After you have Format data & wipe ......
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
No, never.

So once is enough. It seems more clear.

update_data & update will be to make with twrp-3.0.3?

Or always twrp that I use now? I've twrp-3.0.2 EMUI41.
[Mate 8 General] konroma:
Need definitive guide!

Really need a step by step guide coming from B192rooted with Twrp for MM trying to arrive to B560rooted with fully functional Twrp with definite download links-

Tried almost all possibilities but once no twrp backup feature , once no data, once internal memory=zerobytes etc.... and thousand bootloops, no twrp etc.... now back on MM....

Never seen a so complicated root...

So, please someone can post a definitive guide, thanks in advance!!
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yes. You can try using twrp 3.0.3.0 (Nougat) but I have no luck with that version. That's why I'm using twrp 3.0.2.0 (this build is for EMUI 5 not for EMUI 4.0/4.1)

If you are coming from TWRP EMUI 4.0/4.1. You can install update_data & update from your current twrp 3.0.2.0 (EMUI4.0/4.1). Make sure you install TWRP 3.0.2.0 (EMUI5 - the one I posted) before rebooting to TWRP recovery again. Then only continue with your steps as your mentioned earlier.
[Mate 8 General] zappomax:
Any hint plz??
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Recapitulative:

From my current twrp 3.0.2.0 (EMUI4.0/4.1)

Install the patched boot

Format data

Wipe dalvik, cache, data & system

Install update_data

Install update

Install TWRP 3.0.2.0 (EMUI5 - the one you posted)

Reboot to twrp recovery again

Install supersu (files you've posted earlier)
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Because you are currently in TWRP 3.0.2.0 (EMUI4.0/4.1)

Your steps should be :

From my current twrp 3.0.2.0 (EMUI4.0/4.1)

***Format data (Only format if the data is encrypted) or else Wipe dalvik, cache, data & system

Install update_data

Install update

Install TWRP 3.0.2.0 (EMUI5 - the one you posted)

Install the patched boot

Reboot to twrp recovery again

(You might need to check internal storage is not 0mb if yes then repeat to step ***)

Install supersu (files you've posted earlier)
[Mate 8 General] zappomax:
Which patched boot? There's no NXT-L29C432B560 patched boot in the link U posted. Any way I used this http://xdaforums.com/show...8&postcount=14

Try "fastboot reboot" and hold Vol+ and Vol-
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yesterday, I had still a doubt. I wondered If never, update.app flash doesn't work and nougat twrp still makes me the same problem than now.

How could I restore an old version or a backup ?

Via adb fasboot, I think. I have to check in order to be sure.

With Samsung at least, we had Odin for the bootloader to flash a firmware.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Here you can flash out via Update.app or individual files
[Mate 8 General] MatthBouvier:
When I enter "fastboot reboot", I press vol + and vol -, I have the message "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted ... Your device is booting now..." but it doesn't boot
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Flash correct files. Re-unlock if u r unlocked and try again.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
If you are in my case and you want to install twrp-3.0.3 , no method works. Phone blocks at the same moment than you.

You should take the solution that [MENTION=2570493]dexz[/MENTION] said me earlier in the previous posts. I can't confirm it works, I have few doubts how restore If it doesn't work.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
If dload update.app doesn't work. You can flash manually *.img files via fastboot. You can even install L29C432B1XX.zip via twrp (EMUI4.0)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
So always possibility to restore.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
There will be always a way to flash it.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:

​

Let me add. You won't be able to flash EMUI 4 ON EMUI 5

You need to flash EMUI 5 first and somehow boot into system and then you can restore to EMUI 4 via update.app
[Mate 8 General] MatthBouvier:
Finally I was able to enter into TWRP thanks to the SRK Tool.

But now, my phone seems to be brick.

- eRecovery doesn't work

- Impossible to transfer via MTP in TWRP, error after few minutes

- Fastboot seems to be not available because after reset, usb debugging is off

What are my solutions please?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Now, I'm agree with you with this fastboot method and "Huawei Update Extractor".... I like to be sure to what I make!

Turn off your phone.

Connect it to your PC via the USB cable.

Hold down Volume Down and Power to boot into Fastboot mode.

Get your 4 extracted files and copy them to the folder of Minimal ADB & Fastboot. (where you can find the adb.exe and fastboot.exe)

If the copying is done, open up a command promt.

Check if your device is connected via the fastboot devices command.

If it is, then flash the BOOT.IMG file entering fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG

Next, flash the RECOVERY.IMG by typing: fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG

After that, flash the SYSTEM.IMG with the fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG command. *

Lastly, flash the CUST.IMG by typing fastboot flash cust CUST.IMG

If all the flashing is done, restart your phone with the fastboot restart command.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
After all above you might need to do factory reset if you are unable to boot into the system.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yeah I imagine too.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Which version of TWRP are you using?

To enter fastboot. Switch off your phone. Connect usb cable then do this :

Press and hold volume down + power. Release it when you see huawei logo.

Good luck

In fastboot you can flash img files. You can extract it from update.app . You can follow [MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] steps but of course before you use fastboot method. Did you tried dload update.app method?
