[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Hi All

Hope you can help (because Huawei can't..)

I've had a Mate 8 for just under a year now and i've never had an update. Not one. A close friend bought one at the same time (different place) and has recently had the EMUI 5 update. I am still on EMUI 4.0 and have not had a security update since feb 2016. The handset was originally purchased in Germany and besides the update issue has worked flawlessly here in the UK. I would like the update however and do n ot mind if its manual and not OTA but Huawei are unable to offer anything like a solution. Does anyone know how i can update this handset without bricking it which is what concerns me. If it helps it is as follows:

NXT-L29

Build: NXT-L29C900B170

EMUI 4.0

Android 4.0

Thanks in advance

Hi,you have Global Version.I think for C900 there is no Ota Update,i can't see in the Firmware List

https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate-8-stock-firmware-official-t3391727

I converted my C636 to C432 and all Ota Updates is coming
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Ah ok, I've had 'global version' mentioned to me before. How can I convert to a different C variant and if I do do you think that will enable ota updates?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie72:
I think you can update to NXT-L29C432B192 via "dload". If it works, then Nougat update will be available. But for more sure, let's other guys from this forum confirm that.

Good luck. :D
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letschky:
Yes, I also believe that it is so possible
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
OK, thanks for the info.

Since had it confirmed that the hadset is a US variant (San Diego) and as such is trying to connect to US servers not UK which is why it can't the OTA update.

With this in mind will the dload method still work and if so, and sorry to be a total novice, but how to i do the dload method? (massively do not want to brick the phone)

Thanks again all,
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie72:
1. Download the update on the computer.

2. Unzip.

3. Create a folder "dload" on micro SD card and copy only UPDATE.APP inside.

4. Turn off the phone and put mitsro SD card.

5. Turn ON the phone.

6. Go to "Updater" and click on "Local update".

That is it.

If update is not suitable to your phone "Installation failed" will be displayed at the screen and phone will be turn to the present state.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Superb stuff, thank you. Only question now is where do I find the update file?

I have done all of the above but then i go in to settings, update and no local update option is displayed.

Any ideas?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Hi All

I did all above as requested. Could not l;ocate 'uploader' so applied a hard reset and the phone updated although only the security patch.

As it stands build number is the same and no new update available.

Updater appears in the app list but no where to be found on the phone and the update in settings provides no 'local update' option.

Odd?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie72:
If upload is make it right in this menu after pres three dots shut be option "Lokal Update".
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Only get this. Is there a zip to the build number you just posted? Would that work?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie72:
Sorry, I don't know why that happens. Does the phone detect micro SD card? Format again and create dload folder (without quotes), then proceed step by step.

That's all I can advise you.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
View attachment 4061307. It's in there ok but looks like the phone can't recognise the type of file. Just a ? In the box. Could that be the problem?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie72:
I have no idea. But date 25.May.2011 looks strange. Download again ZIP and try to extract UPDATE tile with another program.

Select Software Upgrade--> SDCard Upgrade and then Ok.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Hi All,

I've tried again, this time using the newer link file. The phone processes the update all the way through but after restart the build number remains the same:

NXT-L29C900B192

And as such no EMUI 5.0 update is available. Is there anything else i can try? Is there an update file that relates spcifically to the above build number maybe?

Thanks again for all your help,
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erayrafet:
You must install only FULL updates with size of 1.5/1.6GB

Also You should try rebranding your phone to C432 with SRK TOOL
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Ok thanks,

Do you know of a full update link that relates to the build number i have?

Or, is there a 'how to' for the rebrand option?

Literally can't make head nor tail of that. Cannot see any reference to the build number i have. Apologises a bit novice
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erayrafet:
Your reference number shows up whenever​ you install a firmware with different C number

Like xxxC432xxx installed over xxxC636xxx and you will get xxxC900xxx

or it's an International variant so in both ways it won't get any OTA updates.

This is firmware with build number NXT-L29C432B180

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v51244/f1/full/update.zip

You can also use Firmware Finder from Play store to look for firmware updates and installing them

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
I've been told it's an american version (san diego). Cannot find any reference what so ever anywhere of the build number i have.

Think it's worth me trying the above link?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erayrafet:
Mate 8 wasn't officially sold in USA and there isn't an American firmware for it.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Bit odd all this. The guy at Huawei said it was US
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erayrafet:
The C value for USA is C567 and firmware for Mate 8 with this C doesn't exist.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
I did think it odd. Especially as i bought the phone in Germany!!

So, is it worth me trying the link above? Just concerned as don't want to brick the phone.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erayrafet:
I think that it won't get bricked.

It should should have had C432 which is for Europe.

I still suggest you to do the debranding process because there isn't another way to fix it yourself but it requires unlocked bootloader. There's a video guide on the thread link i sent you.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
Mate 8 was never "officially" released by Huawei for sale in the United States, BUT, several versions

have the same modem frequencies that will work in the United States.

The L29C185xxx version, which is the one I have, is tagged as a South African/Middle East version.

It works perfectly in the USA. I utilize Straight Talk, as my "carrier" (MVNO), and use the straight talk/at&t

sim card. Not one issue.

What you will have to do, if you want EMUI5/Android 7 is either wait for them to release an official rom for

that version you have, or debrand/flash another rom. Mine was on L29C185B180 for a long time and just

received (still android 6) the B321 update.

From what I have read, your mileage may vary because I'm holding off on 7 for a while. Official or not, some

have reported less battery life, and glitches with Bluetooth. Since I use bluetooth instead of holding the phone

to my head, I can't have bluetooth having glitches. Not to mention streaming in my two vehicles.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Ok, thanks.

I'll try the update link first and if that doesn't work i'll give the rebranding a go.

Cheers
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouseytastic:
Ok, this is great info. So, in your opinion, is there any point in me trying to flash the update version or should i just wait, hope, and cross as many limbs as is humanly possible in case an update emerges? I have literally not had a single update. Ever.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
Well, I'm not one of those "has to have the latest" types. I was in my younger days, constantly flashing my PDA phones (HTC Tilt series)

but, now I take stable over new.

My phone, like it or not, during the work day is my lifeblood. All the service calls I do are dispatched, entered, closed from a web app on my

phone, as is the remote diagnostic I do on machines with my phone tied to machines via a USB cable or wireless. I can't afford to not have

a stable phone. My C185, runs version 321 as of last week of EMUI 4.1/Android 6 and is VERY stable.

I've seen too many people have one glitch or another with 7. Granted, it IS getting better, but even when it officially hits for my phone, I'm going to

hold off a week...just to be sure.

Hats off to those that beta and test these...makes it better for me after a few builds. :)

I'm running Oxygen OS 4.0.3 and have TWRP 3.0.3.0. Today I try to boot to recovery to clear dalvik and cache, and what I saw was the first menu when I can chose what to do - Start, reboot recovery, bootloader or to turn off the phone - same as this one https://www.google.pl/search?q=onep...iw=412&bih=652&dpr=2.63#imgrc=l-lNa3Sp9dxa9M:When I chose to go to the recovery the phone just going to be dark and go back to the same menu over and over again.

Last think I do before I last successfully reboot to recovery was changing the build.prop file whither the line "ro.opa.eligible_device=true" in order to get the Google assistant 2 days ago. Today after failure with going to recovery I change back the file but still can't go further then that first menu.

This menu still shows that I have unlocked bootloader and the root is working good for me, and checking root apps is showing I still have it. (don't know if that information is needed).

I have the Official TWRP app, where is the option to flash TWRP but I don't know if that solutions would work or if it's save to not brick the phone.

I'll be glad for any help.

After flashing a rom, reflash recovery. You can flash recovery from recovery. Touch Instal > go where it's the recovery is > image > Recovery. Swipe to flash. Reboot to recovery to check if it works.

Some roms flash official recovery, that's why.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] singh_21:
Reflash TWRP 3.0.4.1 . After flashing do not reboot via vol keys, instead use CMD command only, type this in cmd fastboot boot twrp.img , replace twrp with name of your recovery file and then u will boot direct into recovery
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Ludzik1993:
So I need to reflash that TWRP by connection phone to PC, and where it will ask chose to flash it on my recovery partition? Won't that wipe all my data?

I hope you know how to flash twrp.img via cmd in pc. After you done with flashing twrp.img, you write the command i wrote earlier, and u will boot in recovery.

As you are using OOS, you wont be having any issues with partition, Data will not be lost.

Data is lost when you unlock the bootloader.

I only did it once when I was first time unlocking bootloader, and I was using the tool made for this. But I will try my best.

Hi everybody

First up - brilliant site here!!! I have spent the past couple of weeks reading up on the jasjam-dopod838pro-tytn etc and all the mods that can be done to the phone.

Now down to question - I have got a jasjam with the classic "white screen of death on bootup". I have tried reseting the cable and reinforcing the dpad as suggested in some of the treads here but with no success :(

The phone itself is a stock standard jasjam with telstra image which I picked up on ebay. THe phone itself still had the void sticker on it and booted up once when I put in a brand new battery so I think I can rule out corrupt image and battery. If I leave the phone on after booting, it stays white but it gives a "ting" sound after thirty seconds and the screen will go back and turn on again after each press of the power button.

Any suggestions would be great as I have run out of ideas!!! :confused: I would really like to get this phone up and running especially after reading all the cool stuff you can do with it on the site :D

Thanks in advance

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midmaestro:
New to here to share some thoughts: why is it so hard to run an emulator on PC?

Reasons of variety come to my mind, but I mustn't tell so. Just done days long of experiment and all in vain, here's my steps in summary:

1. Installed OpenGAPPS. Failed at starting Play Store. (Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped.)

2. Installed an unidentified Dell x86 version of Phonesky. Worked for a few minutes then stopped.

3. Installed Lucky Patcher site's Modded Play Store. Stuck at "Authorization is required. Please log in to your Google Account" message.

4. Init.rc trick: ramdisk.img successfully patched, adb shell always root without a need for adb root command anymore, but SuperSu simply didn't work at all.

5. Started from 27/01 and gave up on 28/02.

This thread is probably a collection of my emotional techie notes. I may reply if anyone asks for a laughter on the methods I used. It's OK. Ain't a developer, but ain't a normal user anymore.

You're an ordinance disposal technician stuck on a base in the middle of nowhere. To break the monotony, you create a makeshift ramp out of concrete barriers, and roll the explosives into the air like you're playing Skee Ball. Complete each level in order to progress to the next. This base has an endless supply of bombs, but you can only use five on each level, so use them wisely. Accurate throws will ensure that the fuse burns out at the perfect time to destroy the storage crates and barrels.
