Did you change your phone's cust version? If u changed it you should dload a firmware (4/4.1) that match with your new cust

I rolled back with this method dozen times when EMUI 5 was not officiall!
[Mate 8 General] bodzio3333:
No. this time my rom was stock :) I dload NXT-AL10C00B386, lost root and unlock bl and them do OTA to EMUI 5.0.

I realy don't know when I stuck od NRD90M. One time I pull the phone out of my pocket and see red message after reboot... that's all.

Hisute can't help me, I try.

Some advices, please.
[Mate 8 General] Samavb:
Is that red message verification failed message?

If yes then please unlock the bootloader again even if it says unlocked. Then it will do factory reset and the red message will disappear.

You can then try to flash the stock firmware in TWRP. You can use B368 or B386 stock firmware from another thread and flash in TWRP. That is if you have TWRP. If you don't then unlock bootloader and then install TWRP using SRK tools. You can use SRK tools for adb commands also. Just type 000 on first page off srk tools and you will get into command prompt. Using that push the TWRP into your phone. ADB is very stable in srk tools and it will always identify your device. So that problem you won't have.

I couldn't find a proper rollback for AL10 . May be some one else can give if it is there for this model. If it was L29 model then rollback package is available and you can easily rollback using that in this type of situation.

If the flashing of stock ROM worked then you try to debrand your phone to L29 later. You will have many options then and L29 firmwares are more stable. I have AL10 which I debranded to L29 & I totally recommend debranding to C432 once your problem is solved

Do the above steps only if you are on marshmallow firmware.

Don't forget :good::good::good::good::good:
[Mate 8 General] c|nder:
I created a al10 roll back for all al10 phones. It converts it to a DL0017 dual active sim. Message me for details how to obtain it from me .. MUST have twrp installed .
[Mate 8 General] bodzio3333:
Thank you for help :)

Yes it is red message verification failed message.

I'll change AL10 to L29C432 when I can do that :)

The bigest problem is that I stuck on androit 7.0 emui 5.0.

So maybe you help me unlock bl (I have unlock code) and flash TWPR....
[Mate 8 General] bodzio3333:
I stared few hours ago.

First unlock bl - red message disapire :)

After bl I was error durind format bus system run witout any problem.

Then flash TWRP 3.1.0-2 and try to flash NXT-AL10C00B368-update.zip but I see this:

Some advices?
[Mate 8 General] Samavb:
Options

TWRP 3.1.0.2 is actually used for flashing nougat firmwares.

Which firmware are you on right now?

Are you on nougat or marshmallow? Please provide the full firmware build number.

if your phone is on marshmallow.

TWRP version depends on your firmware.

If you are on EMUI 4.0/4.1 then pls use the TWRP 3.0.2

you can use SRK tools to install that TWRP if you are on EMUI 4.0/EMUI 4.1

Install that version. Then

Factory reset

Flash the B386 zip file in TWRP.

You can get the B386 from here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69331930&postcount=1338

If your phone is on Android Nougat.

Then you have to use dload method.

Unzip the B386 zip file.

Put the update.app in the dload folder inside your external sdcard.

Go to your dialer

*#*#2846579#*#*

Select "software upgrade"

then Select - > SD card upgrade.

And then it will reboot and install the stock firmware.

This thread has all the Stock firmwares.

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

Hope the above steps solve your problem. If not, then we will try something else. please answer all the questions to help you better especially your full build number (firmware version).

[Mate 8 General] bodzio3333:
Thank you :)

I'm on emui 5,0 android 7,0 nugat ROM nrd90m test-keys - before I don't remember, upgrade ota for AL10 model. Maybe AL10C00B552.

So I have to try flash nugat ROM AL10 by TWRP 3.1.0.2.

Dload method dont work - I never need sd card for this.

Can I flash nugat rom dload method? And where I find stock recovery for nugat?
[Mate 8 General] Samavb:
TWRP & Erecovery methods

Since you are on nougat with test keys, try to flash the latest nougat firmware on your phone model NXT-AL10 (Try flashing firmwares using TWRP )

Link for the firmware

link 1 https://mega.nz/#!Y4IVEbxY!7C8u3FP3V8eAV4jVNmbRUfj2W1nc8p5gMtaScVmzeA0

if the link 1 doesn't work then try link 2

link 2 https://mega.nz/#!U9ZkTZzI!fbPnyDIxCGGFkiGxtF3SMicLqmTDNTq8SG8fVw8lfz8

download & flash it using TWRP.

Once you finish flashing - you should have android nougat stock B584

Go to settings - > about you should see that B584. in build number.

If your build number is showing anything other than test-keys then you will be able to use dload method or Hisuite method using PC.

Now if IT IS showing B584, then you can dload to B386. then unlock bootloader -> TWRP using SRK tools - > Root - > and then debrand to L29C432. - > this is the road map for you. we will go through this only after you succeed in the above steps.

Try the below steps only if the above steps don't work

if you want to flash the nougat recovery

then unzip the zip file in link 1.

Use Huawei update extractor software HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.3

and then extract the recovery.img from the update.app file.

now

switch on usb debugging in your settings.

switch off the phone

press & hold volume down and then connect to phone to laptop

put the extracted recovery.img file in the same folder as the SRK tools

open SRK tools

type 000 to enter command prompt

type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(please remember all these steps that use adb commands come with element of risk. so please proceed with caution and go slow. Proceed with these steps only if you know what you are doing otherwise do not proceed)

Try the TWRP steps first and see if that will resolve your issue before flashing any stock recovery. If your flashing through TWRP then it will install stock recovery & stock ROM.

Please share your progress.

[Mate 8 General] bodzio3333:
You must know that I'm very grateful for your help :)

Do I have to format data before start flashing B584.zip or do nothing?

Do I need update_data_full_all_cn.zip ?
[Mate 8 General] Samavb:
2 Answers

:D Glad to read Ur kind words but V have a long road ahead. So let's fix ur phone :good:

Answers

1) Yes, you can format DATA before flashing this zip file. you can also do factory reset before flashing the zip file. (Remember we are doing this step only to get ur phone out of that test keys & this firmware is not ur final firmware that u will use. )

2) I was searching for a firmware that u can flash on ur phone and I found B584 and felt this might help. The guys in the other thread mentioned it as full firmware. After u flash this firmware, check in settings - > about - > build number if it is anything else other than test keys then u succeeded in this step.

Goal of this flashing of B584 is only to get rid of that test keys in build number. Once that is gone then U can downgrade to B386 using steps in my previous posts followed by the road map.

:good::good::good:
[Mate 8 General] bodzio3333:
When I flash B584.zip see this error in twrp:

Maybe try a different version of SuperSU?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] moistcity:

Trying 2.78 to see if it works or not

Tested 2.78 and 2.77 beta.

2.78 reboots back to twrp.

2.77 reboots back to system.

I think it can't log what happened cause it just reboots on the process of flashing superSU.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
Everything else works fine? Backup, restore etc?

Can you see if /tmp exists in TWRP file manager.

Can you install the no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx OK?

Backup and restore works.

didn't check on that one but pretty sure /tmp is there.

So it seems the issue is with SuperSU and may be one for Chainfire to look at.

Considering the boot image patcher installs fine, proves that zips are working.

I'm going to have a look at the supersu install script before I raise it as a bug.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
You can try installing system mode supersu. It may install, but I will need to manually patch the boot image .

Make a backup of your boot and system partition then install the version of SuperSU below.

https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120

Flash the patched boot image with ODIN or TWRP. If your device had encrption disabled you will need to flash no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx again afterwards to disable encryption.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] moistcity:
System mode SuperSU tries to install a lot shorter now, stops and reboots at "Installing" or something, too fast I can't read it.

I have also flashed the patched boot image and for some reason flashed no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx again.

This is the recovery.log

pastebin.com/5JHqasFP
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
That log contains nothing regarding supersu. You should go to ADVANCED> SAVE LOG after running supersu or does twrp automatically reboot?

Can you also open TWRP terminal and see if you get the ~# prompt then type getenforce and report the output.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] moistcity:
After typing getenforce, the terminal outputted "Permissive".

Does the recovery log overwrite itself when turning on the phone? If I can pull the recovery log right before it automatically reboots, is it possible to see the problem?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
The recovery log changes each time recovery is booted into.

If it's auto rebooting it would be difficult to catch it as it may not catch the error.

You can use the command below with ADB to try and grab it before it reboots.

Disable MTP then do:

adb devices

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

There are also alternatives to get root.

You can try PHH Superuser.

Rooted my phone at last using Magisk. Finally!

Magisk Manager confirms that the device is properly rooted and I have backed it up by using Root Checker Basic and by

adb shell
shell@a7y17lte:/ $ su
root@a7y17lte:/ #

Thank you very much.

I am wondering however what are the differences between PHH and Magisk, it seems that Magisk is more popular so I strongly went for that first. Being someone who only knows SuperSU, how do these installers differ?

At this point do I still need to install the patched-root-boot and no-verity-no-encryption? I have installed no-verity-no-encryption before doing the root.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
Magisk and phh are both open source.

You don't need the root patch. If you want to keep your data unencrypted then you will need to flash the no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx patch.

You have a carrier rom on your phone and the international version fails the upgrade check.

If you could get your bootloader unlocked that would be a way around it but you need to upgrade to a certain rom version to do that and the carrier hasn't supplied that rom...

You're essentially screwed until the carrier either releases the bootloader unlockable rom or upgrades the rom to nougat...

Thanks for the upload!!! I wanted to switch my phone to the Verizon firmware but wanted to make sure I could first get back to the latest AT&T firmware just in case. I was able to flash this over my existing AT&T firmware just as a test and indeed it's the same version which is also the latest as of today (4/17/2017). It wipes your data of course but I used Samsung Switch to backup everything up first and worse case scenario I just setup all my apps again just takes extra time.

UPDATE: I needed to use moded Odin to flash the latest Verizon firmware from updato.com after flashing the firmware posted here due to the SHA256 error. After I used the moded Odin from the XDA post below it worked fine.

AT&T to Verizon to AT&T

Just in case anyone is curious like I was about switching their Galaxy S7 to Verizon from an AT&T model like I did (and why I looked for this firmware) it works well. You can flash the latest firmware from updato.com for the SM-G930V on top of the stock SM-G930A and it works perfectly. It will wipe your data but that's to be expected. In the end coverage was not good at my house so I switched back to AT&T. It wasn't the phone or the firmware though because my mom's brand new Verizon iPhone almost had worst coverage than I did. At work I got pretty decent coverage and decent speeds on Verizon. Also using LTE discovery I verified it was connecting to bands the AT&T phone was not suppose to have. I was able to use this image to flash back to AT&T in the end and had everything working like before. Samsung switch doesn't backup stuff that well and in the end I just factory reset again and restored from a Google backup. Still required some app setup, but in the end it works just as before and again getting the AT&T only bands. Thanks again for posting this very useful image.
