Maybe I also have the wrong files then... I know other people in the thread to update to C432B560 also have reported Bluetooth issues, on the other hand I'm using some Russian link files because the ones in that thread always give me error 7.

What was your final steps to get it to work?
[Mate 8 General] HassanMirza01:
thread created for Elite kernel for Mate 8

https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/orig-development/cxxb56x-root-dm-verity-off-boot-img-t3573073

Have a look at it and try.... tell me results
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
By comparison with stock boot, you said me which files, there aren't lot... but I've nothing released, I will never do without your agree. I said you via PM... You know?!

For your coworkers, I misunderstood! :eek:

Great! ;) You have my thanks.
[Mate 8 General] HassanMirza01:
[MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] bro all those files which were injected to boot are our custom made... so we cant release them,, you should understand but now you have your kernel ready... i was totally free (thanks to my university for giving me no work) haha :D so i made it today
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I understood, if it wasn't the case, the kernel will be already released. I doesn't steal the work of others. I asked you, you said no and I didn't release whatever.
[Mate 8 General] omr582:
Sorry Bluetooth didn't work..my mistake every thing else is good

but still I think we have got wrong file
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
But if you only flash update.zip and update_data_hw.zip you don't get working Bluetooth? Because I do!

It's when I reflash update_data_hw.zip that I get the error or actually is when flashing the boot.img because flashing that last also gives me the Bluetooth error.
[Mate 8 General] omr582:
So you have more experience

This is what I did after getting new files

format data

Install update_data_*.zip

Install update.zip

Install superuser_noverify_nocrypt.zip

All good but Bluetooth is not
[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
anyone care to post links for l29c636 b563 update full and update data full? looked everywhere and cant find
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Maybe you should try with this boot! Like I said here, there is no risk.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Yes, I already wrote in that thread. Will try out when I get the into the mood. As of now I'm a bit tired of formating, flashing and reflashing again and again. But come tomorrow after a good night's sleep I probably give it a go in morning.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
OK. I hope for you that will be good.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Share your oeminfo, update.zip and update_data.zip. I will test it from my end.

[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You are right. It force closed whenever I try to download it. Are you using the latest FF? I think there's a bug with the latest version. You might need to try copy the link and download from your computer.

Not so great maybe, better to identify a problem then it being random like it is now. I wonder why some of us are having Bluetooth issues. Seems like a there 3-4 people in each region in the nougat update threads experiencing this issue
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Sorry I'm not sure why some of u having this issue. I wished I have that issue after I have installed the C185B570 firmware. Maybe difference circuit board or Bluetooth chip? I'm out of explanation.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
The strange thing is that I works in stock, but if I reflash update_data_hw.zip then it stops working or if I flash the noencryption.zip

Did your bluetooth working if you install supersu?
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Never tried with supersu since that guide didn't give full root and the main reasons I want is for Adaway which was one of the apps having issue

Ok Great seems this problem required some deep digging wish us luck.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Not sure if is the nocrypt or noverify or both got to do with your guys issue. Let me try something first and get back with you guys.

Edit : [MENTION=4771907]Leo_83[/MENTION] [MENTION=2142555]omr582[/MENTION] you might try this file. It will not decrypt your data partition but you guys still able to get full root. You don't need to format data or install update_data_*.zip Hopefully this will fix your Bluetooth issue.

https://mega.nz/#!bxswXCJS!nqu4ZxUwcDMtRXk8pyFffV9oEQZ8xDTiwICTe_imB7s

1. Reboot to twrp

2. Install superuser_noverify.zip (ignore error /data partition)

3. Reboot to system

4. Install phh's superuser from Google play.

5. Rooted

Tested : AdAway, Root explorer , lucky patcher and ...... all working.

P/S : before install superuser just make sure your Bluetooth is working.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
You gave me a link really good, there are lot of beautiful themes here. I tested 4 which works fine on our phone.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Sorry, I didn't see your edit. I will test this evening. I'll get back to you with the results. Much appreciated BTW. Cheers!
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
:laugh: Good luck!
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
What does this mean when it comes to everyday use "It will not decrypt your data partition"? No access to internal storage, write permission?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Means your data partition will be encrypted from twrp. You won't able to see or modify data partition in twrp but will be available when you reboot to system.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Its working great :)

So what was it?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
You mean Bluetooth working and rooted?

Edit : You can try install fresh b560 and install [MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] decrypted boot img. See if your Bluetooth working. If is working then install superuser_noverify.zip . I just need to know if the encryption part has effect for your Bluetooth issue.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
What would be weird. Why would it be harmful for his Bluetooth at him? Different devices, motherboard, components... why not?
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yeah. So weird. I dont understand too.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I dislike that! :( Not understand. :confused::eek:
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Wait for [MENTION=4771907]Leo_83[/MENTION] confirm it then we only know if his Bluetooth issue cause by encryption.

Works great on L29, no Bluetooth issues, thanks! Is there a way to flash stock recovery again and keep root and system partition modifications?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
You can flash stock recovery via adb or TWRP but I don't think you have an interest to that.
[Mate 8 General] dexz:
Yes it suppose shouldn't have any issue. Even you follow the step at first page.

Why you want to run stock recovery? But yes it is possible. Like [MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] mentioned.

Anyway glad it work for you.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ncmz:
Hello there, I'm trying to update my EVA-L09C605B135 to B380 (nougat) manually and I want to know if it is safe to do it. In Fimrware Finder I found aviable only B320, B360 and B380 and previous only B135 (the one and latest I'm currently using) for my CUST. Should I start by updating to a previous version or is it ok to go on with latest?

Edit: in FF B320 and B380 appear like "OTA" while B360 is the only that appears as "FULL", what does that mean? Should I go for FULL?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] chris5s:
I have a Vodafone UK branded handset and went from B137 (MM) to B341 (Nougat) without any issues.

I had TWRP installed and flashed the update zips there, when i went to Nougat and temp lost TWRP, using the dload folder method worked too.

tl;dr - yes to your first question! IMHO.

I would say that ota updates are incremental updates, and if coming from one android version to another ie Marshmallow to Nougat you want to flash the "full" update zip. That's what i would do anyway...

Peace

What if you hold the home button?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] otaconremo:
Same thing happens when I long press home or open google app or voice seach. In nova, I can set it to use google app, or voice search. There's no shortcut for google assistant.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
Don't set a home button shortcut in Nova - leave it default. Clear all the data from Google app and the cache from play services, and then reboot. When it boots back up long press the home button and you should have either the assistant or on tap.

Do you access the assistant through a long press on home button. On Chinese axon 7 this is not possible as the language needs to be set as Chinese

There's a adb command to set dpi.. haven't tried this personally on this phone but this should work on any android.

If you have twrp, just go to terminal and type "wm density DPI" then reboot.

Now we just change the DPI in the command to our default value. 640 I think, not sure though.

It has actually, assistant worked when I first set it up OK google has worked as well. Now though assistant is installed but won't work. It defaults to Google now voice.

Oh, and yes OK Google is available on any screen, also from locked screen.

But allways I end by turning it off, it must use a ton of battery to do all the Google checkups. (hallo Nsa) properly very good pals with Google, they get all sort of info from all of us. Fingerprints, eyes iris, face recognition, web use, voice use and so on and on.

I've found a solution! See my post below. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rafabrasil85:
Friend, I figure a way to use Google Assistant in the Axon 7 chinese version!!

You have at least to check if the Assistant option is already available in Settings > Google > Search. If not, try this method:

[youtube]pSP6gICNfLY[/youtube]

If it is already there, make sure it is turned on and download the following free apps:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut

(Nova Launcher also does this job via a widget)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irishin.buttonsremapper

(Or download another remapper app of your choice which allows home button mapping)

Now use Quick Shortcut to create a shortcut to Assistant. It has to be the one from Google App which I've marked in the picture attached (EnterOpaActivityFromDeeplink). You can remap this shortcut to home button long press or use it on launcher screen. Don't forget to disable MyVoice before. Done! Now we have Assistant working, finally!

Unfortunately​ "Ok Google" voice command on any screen is still greyed out in settings. I made it work by using Tasker and AutoVoice always listening, but it is not the best solution because this method mutes media volume. I think this could be kernel related. Or maybe if you flash new Gapps from TWRP it will work, but you have to unlock the bootloader first.

So these now are my next steps here - unlocking bootloader, installing another recovery and (most important for me) rooting. Have you rooted your device? I received mine running Marshmallow and now I'm on Nougat V1.1.0 B15. I need a guide to root it without messing with flashing another downgraded version. Tried King Root without success. Do you know anything I can do?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] front firing speakers:
Many thanks indeed. Probably me but I cannot get to work. Screen shot on my google assistant choices. I don't have the option you quote. Did you use button mapper 'assistant' to remap long press of the home button? Any thoughts appreciated?

Friend, last Google app update (7.8.12.21 beta) provided Voice Search on any screen. I've configured smart unlock with voice (Voiceprint) through three steps voice input, and all seems to be ok, but when I say Ok Google within any screen, nothing happens. Also, when I access the Voiceprint section in Settings > Security, the app crashes. Last week MiFavor v4.2 (I'm on kernel 3.18.41, build 1.1.0B17) was updated, and maybe it has something to do with it. Hope this works on the next days... If this works on your phone, please let me know. =)
