[Mate 8 General] speechless:
only when i run freedom i got msg no space available while i have about 14GB free space also adaway was working and update as normal bas after few weeks when i tried to update i got the same msg like no space left something like that..

can u try freedom for me pls
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
It's not about internal memory, it's about ur system data memory or root memory, mine was 8mb free after root!!!, i had to delet some system apps to make space for busybox and other root stuff

I uninstalled Google play music ,google book, google tv video, hangout, talkback and some Huawei apps to make some free space ( u cn install them as normal app later)

I recommend "solid explorer" for exploring root memory and "root essentials" for unistalling system apps,

[Don't forget to have a backup first]
[Mate 8 General] speechless:
ty ill try it later
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
What Huawei apps did you remove? If you have theirs system names, thanks!
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
Just remove google's apps like google music , google movie&tv, google newsstand , google books, Hangouts, talkback( even i removed gmail cus i like huawei mail app)

And system apps like shazam, dropbox , hotel reservation , other system apps like these( u can download all of them from play store and install them as normal apps)

Huawei apps are maximum 5mb they are realy no big deal

I removed hicare, notes (i alwayes use google keep), video player( im using mx player instead), and swiftkey and huawei keyboard cus im using Gboard

Do not remove those system apps that u don't know! U may stuck on bootloop
[Mate 8 General] speechless:
[MENTION=5303139]amin318[/MENTION] can u try freedom for me pls
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I'll try that, but not Gmail, I prefer it to Huawei mail. I also use MX Player, I don't use video player to Google. I use SwiftKey but at worst, I can use it in data. I've not Shazam on my system, same for Dropbox it seems to me. The others Google Apps, I can also remove them, I don't use these apps. Hotel reservations, I don't know it. Hangout, I can also use it in data.
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
Yea u r right, dropbox , shazam and that hotel booking is exclusively for c185 .

I had b432 , I don't remember exactly what was in system, but I'm sure they where better than Dropbox and shazam ... ,

Still, i don't get it why they put these kinda apps in system and fill the root memory
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yeah, it's stupid!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
[MENTION=5303139]amin318[/MENTION]

I gained almost 5% of free space on my system.

I removed these apps:

- Google play films

- Google play kiosks

- Google play music

- Google play books

- Google hangout

- swiftkey

- video player

I used mx video player but the adds annoyed me, so now I use vlc player. Works fine!:good:

Hangout and swiftkey, I installed them via Playstore.

I hadn't issues but I didn't always see notifications, sometimes I had to pull down the notifications panel in order to see them. Now it sounds like better. I'm waiting to check and confirm that.
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
i wanted to unroot and get the new OTA (b580) , so i flashed update data and update via twrp, then my phone stuck on huawei logo after boot animation,

then i decided to rollback and do the update again, so i dload rollback package and b200 firmware,

now my phone wont boot up , there's just a black screen after first huawei logo!

i can dload any emui4 firmware on my phone! i test b163 b180 b190 and b200 they just stuck on black screen

when u rollback ur bootloader will lock and u'll loose twrp, after unlocking it now i stuck on (remote: command not allowed) in rescue mod!

it's second time i get no OS and command not allowed while bootloader is unlocked!

what's the meaning of unlocked bootloader for huawei? i searched everywhere there's no such a thing for other phones!

i mean, command not allowed? BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED GOD DAMMIT!!!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Did you try Fastboot with bootloader mod? You could with this method install the img(s) files (boot - recovery system) and finally make a full wipe with eRecovery.
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
Yes yes i tried that

Bootloader is unlocked but i cant give it any command at all!

I think its from insecure boot img that cus this problem

I took my phone to huawei customer services, probably they'll change the phone's main bord again
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I don't think. I have never had this problem with.
[Mate 8 General] RINAS khouja:
Does it works with latest b580 frimware or i need to wait for update ?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Normally it should work in the same conditions but with the modified boot for the B580. I made it but at home, if you can wait, I'll upload it tonight.
[Mate 8 General] mariosun38:
Any way to root Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10B587?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yeah it's possible, I can make the modified boot for this version. And you will use the method here.
[Mate 8 General] RINAS khouja:
Np i will wait
[Mate 8 General] ScouserCL:
Hey dude, can you help me please? I have the B520 firmware (untouched) on mi Mate 8 NXT-L09 Nougat.
[Mate 8 General] htc_hd:
Hello! I root my Mate, everything is ok, except one thing: after root,"dual sim settings" is disappear, no exist. my phone still works in dual sim mode, but i can't change between sims, etc. is everybody with this problem? what can i do? Thanks!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I don't know this version.

I didn't see this error. What version of firmware have you?
[Mate 8 General] htc_hd:
B560
[Mate 8 General] docfunk:
Hi,

Is this a full root?

I have NXT-L29C636B563

Fallowed the instructions twice, fastboot Insecure boot for b563, and twrp.imag

reboot to twrp and install su SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip.

did a system restore then booted in the os and install root checker and it says i'm rooted,

install adaway granted root and it fails to write to /system/etc/hosts

used ES File explorer and granted root, tried to change the permissions to /system/etc/hosts and that fails as well.

at the same time i had tones of apps that kept freezing, so i went back to stock, unlocked and re re-rooted...

no more freezing but still not full root... found other post on line that Nugget is hard to get full root?
[Mate 8 General] mariosun38:
Thank you ? waiting for the boot ?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Weird!

How did you make my tuto?

Yeah!:good:

Can you extract your stock boot? I've not this one.

Method to extract the boot:

Enable USB debug ->on

You plug your phone at your PC

Goes to the TWRP or bootloader mode

Launch a command prompt with adb

And follow these steps

how recover your boot.img, you make that via adb

adb shell

type enter

cd ..

type enter

cd ..

type enter

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p28 of=/sdcard/boot.img

type enter

Finally, you recover your boot.img file on the internal sdcard and you send me.

That's all and it's really easy to realize.

P.S: don't forget the spaces in the code lines, it's important for it works. You can make some copy/ paste with the command prompt.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
[MENTION=2020147]docfunk[/MENTION]

I was wrong. You haven't to make it with insecure boot but with this one and my tuto

I advocate more version 2 with PHH superuser. Some devices have had mixed feedbacks with the 1.

Last tuto (FINAL):

* Have the B560 without no changes for Huawei Mate 8 with Nougat firmware - for the others devices, ASK ME!!!

* This Boot_Insecure_B563_Fix-adb_dm-verity-v2.img

* Have this TWRP 3.1.0-x

* Have this SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip on your external sdcard for supersu Chainfire - method 1

* Have the PHH superuser.zip on your external sdcard for PHH superuser - method 2

1 -

Easy way to root with supersu Chainfire:

Install the TWRP via adb

Install the new_Insecure_B560_dm-verity.img via adb

Reboot to the recovery

Install SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip from TWRP

Reboot system

2 -

Easy way to root with PHH superuser:

Install the TWRP via adb

Install the new_Insecure_B560_dm-verity.img via adb

Reboot to the recovery

Install PHH superuser.zip from TWRP

Reboot system

Install PHH superuser app via PlayStore (if necessary, you had to make it with previous version)
[Mate 8 General] docfunk:
Hi,

I tried this morning and i have to fix a problem with adb not authorized to connect..

so installed Boot-C636B563-Insecure, i don't think i can get the original back.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yes I think it's due to the insecure boot. It's why in my post above, I put another which fixes it. Now if you have the root, you should can modify "ro.adb.secure" in the default.prop file. It's the cause. If you can't, you should install again your firmware. Other method, if you have the TWRP, you could fix it in installing the boot in the post above with this TWRP.
[Mate 8 General] docfunk:
Thanks!! this fixed my problem, sorry about that.. I found that other Insecure boot in another post you did amusing it would work, root is now working.

Thanks again!

Gilles
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Fine!

If you are glad, please hit my thanks button in the OP post! It enables to see the people satisfaction for this work.

B. R
[Mate 8 General] :
Im still rooted at B170... is there now a rom i can install via twrp? Or still just the method to install b190 and then make the update?

Because this method ****ed my phone up - 2 TIMES :(

allways had no Keyboard and couldnt go back without paying 15 bucks to dc unlocker.

(I have a L-29 )
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
What ****ed method? The last method has to work without block your phone. The previous perhaps had an issue for certains with installation of firmware and data. But this one hasn't system or data installation, just a modified boot, and root zip. No reason to have an issue.

What method did you use?

B. R
[Mate 8 General] :
Yeah exactly the previous way with firmware and data messed with my phone. I tried it 4 months ago i think.

I installed b190 via twrp without root. Then i updated via Menue - updates.

and everytime i tried this i had no keyboard and some other problems.

So my question was: Is there now a way without this problems? (and as i can tell from your post - this is a yes)

So all i need is the B560 firmware now, then i would follow your guide... but cant find the "new" one. can you send me the link, please?

Thanks for your answer and explanation man!

And Sorry for my bad englisch:)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Here you have all firmwares for NXT-L29C432.

You can also find update.zip and update-data.zip there.

If you use dload method, update.zip is enough!

If you use TWRP method, you have to own:

This TWRP 3.0.3 or this one should be good, maybe better.

update.zip

update-data.zip

Installation with dload method:

Extract update.app file to update.zip

Create a dload folder into your external sdcard

Put update.app into dload folder

Turn off your phone

Press & hold the 3 buttons untill starting the installation progress.

At worst, for this installation, you can make a factory reset before or after to be sure. Normally it's not mandatory.

Installation with TWRP:

Wipe> advance wipe> (data, dalvik, cache, system, internal data)

Don't reboot after wipe

Install update_full_hw_eu.zip (Don't reboot after install)

Install update.zip (Reboot when success)

With the second TWRP, you should have no error like with the TWRP 3.0.3.

That's all

Don't format data for the TWRP, I did a copy/ paste from another post and forgot to remove the line. Format data, it was for the old root method. Justly the one which do to loose the keyboard and others apps.
[Mate 8 General] :
Hello Mate,

thanks for your fast and great message. I can do it this way. Just ONE last question:

This is exactly the way i did in January/Febuary and i ended up with a Strange test key and with some things like bluetooth not working etc.

This will not happen, right? And if yes - can i go back?

With dload method with the package from huawei ? That didnt worked last time.

So i try to not pay 15 bucks again :D:D

---------- Post added at 06:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

ah! allrighty! I try it. Thanks a lot. (If it not work - i will ask for help again!) :b
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Normally no, it was with the old method. With the last, it doesn't sound like me to have heard it.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
OK no problem!;)
[Mate 8 General] :
oh and are you sure i can go from B170 straigt to B580 ? Without updating b190?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Why not! I don't see what could disturb.
[Mate 8 General] :
backed up all and im about to start.

im on C900 - i dunno why, should i change cust to c432 first?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yes I think.
[Mate 8 General] :
TWRP

(This TWRP 3.0.3 or this one should be good, maybe better.)

dont even boot up on my rom (b170)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yes it's true you are with a old firmware. So try with dload method. After you could install and boot on these TWRP (s). You will take the 3.1.0-2. Like that if never (I don't think) you haven't the keyboard, you could install the update-data.zip in order to fix it. Only if the keyboard is missing.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Please, stop to quote the OP post. It takes lot of place for nothing.

Like you want, no important!

If you want to follow the steps now, reboot to the recovery.

If you want to make the at another moment, reboot the phone.

this step doesn't require a special procedure.

It should work! ;)

There are no errors.

When you want to talk me... just to go to the down of the thread and make "Quick reply". PLEEEAAAASEEE!!!! :p:p:p:p:p:p:p Like the screenshot below.

It's written why in the OP post. I don't know why you have it like that. Me, it's greyed but activated.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
[MENTION=7561835]apollo_81[/MENTION]

Did you install the insecure boot.img? I wonder if the "Enable OEM unlock" line is greyed due to:

ro.secure=0
security.perf_harden=0
ro.adb.secure=0

ro.debuggable=1

One of these modifications.

ro.secure, ro.adb.secure & ro.debuggable, I don't think.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
No I have not done the root .. it does not understand why the line and 'off ... help me
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Did you look the OP post about of that?
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
I'm sorry I did not understand what should I look?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
[MENTION=7561835]apollo_81[/MENTION]

That!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
The last line.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
[MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] The bootloader and 'unlocked. Only frp and 'locked .. What can I do?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Normally you should relock the bootoader to enabe OEM unlock, and after unlock again the bootoader.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
Could you show me how to lock and unlock the bootloader? thank you
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
With SRKtools.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
ok .. I try to lock the boot I need the code? I have no more. Thank you
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
That, It's a problem, you MUST to have your code.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
if I try to unlock it again?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yeah
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
I do not think of making trouble? I the first time I unlocked the boot with this https://www.dc-unlocker.com/ guess I rcomprare credits.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Like me, but you should give again some credits.
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
In order to unlock the boot I have to plug your phone into bootloader? I can do it with frp blocked?
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
ok thanks let you know
[Mate 8 General] :
meh, to risky i was at this point... thanks for your help but i will stick to my b170 then.

I know how this is gonna end, no keyboard, Test Keys, no way to go back to my old rom.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
No, I say it because it is better to prevent. There is no risk for the keyboard. For the test-key, if you have changed the oeminfo, like this, you should not have it. But if you do not want to go any further. Don't worry! I understand that...
[Mate 8 General] :
My Understandingproblem is: I was fully stock @ c432b190 and updated over my phone to nougat and i still got testkey and no keyboard... so maybe there is something wrong with my phone...
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
It sounds weird! How did you update it?
[Mate 8 General] :
I try to explain again what happend to me in Febuary 2017.

Current rom: C900B170.

used TWRP to install fresh rom : C432B190

Updated to Nogout : Menue - Settings - Update

Found the Update, let it install - and i ended up with no keyboard and testkeys.

Then i tried to install via twrp : same result ; no keyboard and testekeys.

I wanted to go back to my old twrp backup (B170) but it wouldnt let me do it.

Then i found a .zip here in xda where a dload method should bring me back to B190.. .didnt worked either. So i hat to pay 15$ for DC Unlocker.

And thats the Story.

After 3 Months im here again, still on C900B170 and want to try a fully functional nougat ^^
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I understand your hesitation now. Myself, I'm more wavering to install a firmware on this phone than my Samsung(s).
[Mate 8 General] :
Yeah, you got me. I had a Sony before - it was sooo ez to install. But Huawei is a bit complicated....

So if i get you right, i install c432b180 via DLOAD, then C432B580 via DLOAD and then it should work?

or then i go for the TWRP AGAIN and install update.zip and data.zip?

(Because in Feb17 i installed update and data.zip, too - still didnt worked)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Dload works for no one with the B580, same with B581.
[Mate 8 General] :
So first dload then twrp?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yeah but possible dload is enough.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
. [MENTION=6802227]EGOiST1991[/MENTION]

This TWRP will work with B580+ after without issue!
[Mate 8 General] :
Ah **** that.

Dload method triggers twrp.

I hate this phone.

Is there a way to get FULLSTOCK?

Techniclly i should be able to uograde then, right?
[Mate 8 General] htc_hd:
Aha, that's why i loose "dual sim settings", because i do wiping data. i loose everything :keyboard, file manager,all apps from Huawei(good thing ;). after format via TWRP, my Mate has stock android :p

I followed all the steps from your "tutto", everything was fine except "format data". Thank you mate, for your effort!!!

If you know a way to reinstall "dual sim settings", please tell me!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Me too, I'm not sure that I will buy again a Huawei.. Even if this phone really works fine for me.

Dload installs all, at least my case.

I don't know fullstock except these update.zip (s).

Technically yes.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Maybe but it sounds me strange.

After if you have had an issue with this step, then why not!

However I don't know method to restore it.. Except install again the firmware.
[Mate 8 General] :
the phone is great, the flashing sucks.

allright, i will install c432b180 via TWRP, then i will try dload. if this dont work i give up.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
. [MENTION=1321979]htc_hd[/MENTION]

You can always try to install update-data.zip only.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I understand that! :mad:
[Mate 8 General] :
not working. **** that. ill pay again 15$ and never ever gonna update if no one is making it step by step with me. im so angry and done with this phone
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Why? What is your issue now?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
You can try with srktools > unbrick!
[Mate 8 General] :
not even booting. I appriciate your effort but im done. i will stuck to this ****ing unstable rom
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
It doesn't boot but it blocks at the starting, no? Can you go to the bootloader? Can you put your update.app B170 into dload folder in the external sdcard?
[Mate 8 General] :
you can always go to the bootloader. Dload with b170 wouldnt work since dload goes only up and not down.

Im now back to my previous rom - no worries.

As i said there is only one option left then and thats dc unlocker.

So after 60$ im still at b170. The point where i wanna cry and lay down is reached :D:D

Never was thinking that a upgrade is so hard - shouldnt did the root 2 years ago
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
In this case, one only council ... SELL YOUR PHONE!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
However, I think you have to fix it without pay. With srktools...
[Mate 8 General] :

Its like a retarded wife - there are plenty better one; but im in love - so i go with my retraded phone aaaaaaand some day there is a Knight on a Horse who will help me step by step with it ^^ And then im Happy till the G-Force (or any other Force) will take us apart ♥
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
. [MENTION=6802227]EGOiST1991[/MENTION]

Did you make the factory reset after?

For dload, you're right!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Beautiful! ;)
[Mate 8 General] :
SRK Tool dosnt work with the new firmware btw.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

As i said im again back to my B170, rooted....

so i factory reset all, and put twrp via adb on my phone, then got into twrp and clicked restore ;)
[Mate 8 General] :
If you have nothing left - you still have Hope, aye :D^^
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Not the new but to restore your B170!

Why do you think it doesn't work? I already installed TWRP EMUI5.0 with it, only to modify the files inside.
[Mate 8 General] :
yeah for the old firmware it would work, but since i always stuck in the new firmware there is the problem ^^
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I wanted to say when you installed it!
[Mate 8 General] :
do me a favor, go to your gmail.com accept in the right corner my hangout invite, and we can better text about whats ur idea is for my problem.

Maybe i make a big mistake here and dont get your point
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
When you unbricks with this tool, it's you who put the img files into the UNBRICK folder. So for me, it should work if you can boot into your bootloader.
[Mate 8 General] :
but you cant unbrick the new firmware - or let me change my answer:

I cant unbrick it with the new firmware - i tryd. --- but thats not the problem rn ^^
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yes I'll give you tonight. Normally now, I'm at work! ;)

I gonna change it soon. Still 3 days! :laugh:

And I leave this work for another better.

However I try to work until the end... I'm not a thief.
[Mate 8 General] :
Great to hear that you level up ^^

im at work too :b

yeah no rush maybe we can make something happen :)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Maybe!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
You tried it? Even in installing the img files with fastboot?
[Mate 8 General] :
yes

no :D
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Maybe the solution in order to not pay 15$.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I also know your problem, not at your level. I also had some problems to install this B560.
[Mate 8 General] htc_hd:
....via TWRP?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yeah once you made dload method and you've not keyboard... you install TWRP, finally you install the update-data.zip.
[Mate 8 General] htc_hd:
Thanks mate!:)
[Mate 8 General] :
pls report back if its working :)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
You never tried this?! I'm downloading it to see how it's. Normally you have to be on the same Emui version, I think. It is written. Already me, I'm interested by it to can update the B581. dload method doesn't work with B580/ B581 and TWRP, it's same. I tried "dload" but never the TWRP. Maybe it works with decrypted data and root, but I'm bit like you, with the problems I've had to install the B560 and also to root it. I hesitate a LOT.
[Mate 8 General] :
but why should i go on b320? isnt the Order , b190, b580 ?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Because you could install the B320 before the the B580. Maybe it can help you.
[Mate 8 General] :
LOL! After i restored my backup yesterday - i got a notification today (10 mintues ago)

Update is avaible. C432B192 - current version C432B180

So i have to get rid of twrp (is there the stock recovery avaible?) and then i could let em make the update trough the phone)
