Hi with one works
[Mate 8 General] emil_b:
Anyone noticed the new firmware found with FF? The version is NXT-L09C432B580, dated 2017.04.19. None of system update or HiCare early adopters shows it.

How can it used to flash the phone?

Thanks.
[Mate 8 General] iamSHANTO:
I tried to download it for my Huawei Mate 8 L29C185 ...

In firmware finder it's showing L29C185B580 but it didn't work for me ... after the full file download ... 2.2 GB it's say this
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
You can try here!
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Have any one got success installing this and how is your experience with it ? stable ? faster performance ? battery life ?

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

does the hisuite method over proxy install work with this update ?
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Also will it work with L29?
[Mate 8 General] iamSHANTO:
Hi there,

Can you provide me a link for my Huawei Mate 8 L29C185 ... and u sure that update work ...
[Mate 8 General] ronnie72:
Have update for the L29C432, but I still don't tried it.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Here!

I checked yesterday but nothing, today it's there!;) :laugh:
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
Thanks, I might give this a try. Got a glitch with bluetooth since 321. Every reboot, you have to manually turn on bluetooth, and the

previous 185 version you did not.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Maybe with it, you will fix your issue. I hope for you! ;)
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
Well, no luck there :(

I downloaded, unzipped, stuck it in the dload folder, rebooted with the up/down volume. It's like it did

with the firmware finder app also, gets to 5% and fails. Sounds like I'll have to wait until the built in

app says it is available...again.

I'll keep the link though, perhaps one day it will work properly.

If it helps, this is the one I downloaded.

[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Cool i hope some can try it before I do to confirm it works. How to install this? What is the difference between the OTA and full version?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Your bootloader is locked, right? I ask it because I wonder if there is an order to install these differents files, and I wonder if it will be easier to install it via TWRP. I looked the content of the small file and I'm not sure what it is.

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

Maybe we have to install the small file before, it seems to be a patch file. So perhaps we have to install it for the second works.
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
Could be...Yes, I'm pretty sure the bootloader is locked. There is an option in developer options to allow it to be unlocked, but

it pops up a security warning, so I don't know if it will work or if it will hose something else.

I guess the "official" 580 will hit my phone one of these days soon.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Another user has had the official but same, it didn't work. Is it a true update? I saw on a site there were some false updates..
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
You can see the difference with Huawei extractor in the screenshots below.

These are the files:

DTS.img

MODEMNVM_UPDATE.img

PRODUCT.img

RECOVERY2.img

SYSTEM.img

VENDOR.img

They are missing in OTA file.
[Mate 8 General] jee82:
Seems like the only way we'll be updating our phones from b560 before Huawei pushes OTA, is to roll back and upgrade directly to b580, or flash through custom recovery.

https://w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=719987
[Mate 8 General] ronnie72:
This is what i found in network for B580:

Status: Official (beta)

Version: NRD90M

EMUI: 5.0

"Disclaimer: This update is in beta stage which means that it may carry bugs that can have an impact on the usability of the device. Moreover, since this is a multifile update, you may encounter errors if you try installing this with the stock recovery."
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Personally I do not care about that anymore, b560 is still "beta" right and will be forever...
[Mate 8 General] Farzad37:
But in middle east version typed official and not beta and may b580 is resolved many bugs.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
b560 is from august lat year it is **** old and time to update now since phone have becomming slower lately.
[Mate 8 General] iamSHANTO:
i download the B580 for my L29C185 but it did not work
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Don't work via dload for me too! I wonder if with the OTA file, it could work.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
hey dload method has not worked ever for nougat/emui 5.0. The proxy method should work with hisuite
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I tried with OTA file but same result, doesn't work.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Try the full update (non ota)
[Mate 8 General] jee82:
Firmware finder or dload mode won't do the trick for users running unrooted stock Android 7 anymore.

All updates after b560 (or nougat in general) run an online verification test before installing, if your devices imei is not on Huawei's list of approved devices the update will fail. The only way to install nougat updates after b560 is to either flash it through custom recovery or rollback to emui 4 (4.1) and use dload mode to install a full/fullota (or wait for Huawei to officially push it to your device).
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I already tried with it.

Yes why not with TWRP.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
This is depressing I hope some one come to a solution or that some one manage to update from b560.

I have not tried yet but maybe if I am lucky the IMEI is in their approved list.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I would like to try with TWRP but as I'm not sure, I don't know if I have to make it. I will dislike to be without phone now during unknown time.

---------- Post added at 21:12 ---------- Previous post was at 21:02 ----------

The solution could be via adb in flashing recovery, boot and system img files extrated from update.app.
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
I have the "middle east" version (originally L29C185B180, which got an official to 321, then official to 560, but not 580)

Well, middle east might be a misnomer....south Africa I think is the "home" to this one, although I use it in the USA.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
I will not root

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

so we can conclude this no one have actually successfully been installing the b580 ? (c438)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
If you want to be rooted. You can ask me. I created a special boot.img file in order to root it. Like in my tuto.
[Mate 8 General] Farzad37:
Middle east comes for every country on middle east im in iran and got this but i cant see b580 like you.just this version find on FF app
[Mate 8 General] dante-fu:
I wouldn't worry. If it appears for your model it means they are preparing it for OTA. Most probably you'll get it through Early OS adopters within few days.
[Mate 8 General] freaked9:
Did someone tried the proxy method? Could work with a full rom.
[Mate 8 General] jee82:
Before I read about the restrictions in nougat updates I tried installing fullota via proxy, no luck. Tried with built-in update and hicare, both failed verification.
[Mate 8 General] plzhelpimannob:
Did anyone try to install via twrp? :)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
No. Maybe I'll try in the weekend.

I downloaded B580 from firmware finder for L29C432 and got 3 files, update.zip, update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip and update_data_full_public.zip

Are all 3 files needed? There is only 2 Files used in the guides I checked.

Can you upload these both files?

update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip and update_data_full_public.zip
[Mate 8 General] blinkt88:

[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
I hope we can update this without a rooted device. B560 has become painfully sluggish lately so I am in a desperate need to upgrade
[Mate 8 General] Bromsoket:
Same here, phone getting slower and sluggish.....aren't this "MLA" supposed to prevent slowdown over time?
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
I am glad I am not the only one when installed the b560 it was speed of light atleast for 2 months but now it is actually really slow and open apps especially...

I did move over to nova launcher for a short time but decided it was not worth it..

I did everything what is in tutorial of FF app to update trough proxy. My last build version was B560.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Thanks, I gonna look what I can make with now.

Strangely, I installed firmware finder app, I nothing modified in the app and I can see the new firmware but not totally. I only see the update.zip and the update_patch.zip . The ones that I downloaded on this site.

I am unable to trick it to install via FF proxy method. Official updater finds it and downloads it but it won't pass the final verification.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
For me my updater app does not even find a new update when I use proxy method on the phone not sure what I Do wrong.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
The solution could be to try it via TWRP with these files, at least 2, update.zip and update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip. But personnally, I hesitate because I wonder if it's a fake update. I have seen in recent days that some had had updates announced and that it was precisely fakes. This B580 is announced nowhere except on Finder or on Russian sites.
[Mate 8 General] Farzad37:
I try twrp in mate 7 but dont try at mate 8 becouse void warrenty and i wont try this method.i must wait for manufactur update
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
What did you try? What result? Because lot says :"I make this, I make that..." without to precisate. We could think some peoples want others try. Stop it if you don't precisate or then, show it with a video or others. Personnally, I want to test it but only If I'm sure. If someone says me I made it on another device, I will not throw myself into the mouth of the wolf.

For the moment, I check if it's a true update.

I extracted the update.app file

I opened it with DiskInternal Linux Reader app and I've this result.

It's already a good result for me.
[Mate 8 General] Bromsoket:
What is that update_data_full_public.zip file?

Is it needed?

All guides I've seen only use 2 files, update.zip and update_xxx_full_hw.zip
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
update_data_full_public.zip is like update.zip and update_xxx_full_hw.zip, I think it's useless.
[Mate 8 General] Bromsoket:
Ok thanks.

I might try to flash those 2 zip files using twrp during the day as they seem legit according to the screenshot above?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I think it too, I've always made some backups, just waiting the good time for me.

If you have successful to install it, share with us, pls!

If you want to root it, I made some modified boot(s) like in my tuto.

Bravo to guys like you who want to test without to incite other people do it before them! :good:

Now, I would like to ask you.

How have you installed the files?

Via dload

Via TWRP
[Mate 8 General] Bromsoket:
Ok, tried to flash update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip first in twrp (3.0.3 rooted B560) but failed.. :/

Rebooted the phone and it works fine but now the "check for system update" in settings is gone..

Why have you tried with the TWRP 3.0.3? And not the 3.1.0.
[Mate 8 General] Bromsoket:
Used 3.0.3 because that what is installed on my phone.

Maybe I should try flashing using 3.1.0?

Do you have a download link for 3.1.0?

Personally, til it hits the built in Huawei update app, I'm not updating via any other method.

Hey, your phone if you want to do that, but I'm only using "official".

I don't have time to screw with flashing, formatting, setting the phone up again etc.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
You can give up this mehtod, no many updates reach ota.. this is the history of huawei phones.

Also the so called "beta versions" always turn out to be the final one later anyway...

so I am more open to be early adopter to new leaks now days...
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
No thanks. 560 is stable so far (fixed my bluetooth problem by deleting the dalvik cache).

That's why I didn't bother any of the earlier builds. 6 was solid as a rock (L29C185B180) and

that's what I'm after. Solid. Sadly, my phone is my work LIFEBLOOD and I don't have time to

be screwing with it during the day for FC's, reboots and what not.

I knew going in (with the Mate2) that Huawei isn't what you would call on the cutting edge of

being fast with software updates, but, their firmware does appear to have a good record of

being STABLE. I'll take that pretty much over being cutting edge.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I understand your choice, however this Nougat version is also a beta, I talk about the B560. For me, I think only one worked properly. It was Marshmallow - Emui 4.1 - B320. I think the B560 has several bugs rather annoying. Like notifications for example.
[Mate 8 General] Farzad37:
Are you serious?we say lie for what?you can search on youtube.mate 7 supports all twrp roms and it downloadable from every where
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
No, I'm not saying you're lying. I'm just saying I'd like to have more detail, because many people, since the release of this B580, claim to have done this update without explaining how, or even actually making it see.

Moreover, we can't compare one model to another. This is by no means identical.
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
Must be one of those "your mileage may vary" deals...(knock on wood)...other than the bluetooth issue of it not starting automatically

on reboot (mine was fixed by deleting the dalvic cache), I haven't had any issues.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I have never had problems with the bluetooth, neither other thing, but however I can't say Nougat is better.

I only want to say that I would like to have more confirmation that the B580 works fine and can have this features.

Unlocked bootloader

USB debug enabled

OEM unlock enabled

In order to can root it like the B560

If all that is confirmed, I'll try to install it via TWRP.
[Mate 8 General] owhy:
How did you do that? did you install TWRP? or rooted your phone to get an access to dalvik cache? I'm also having problem with automatic Bluetooth connect with my car stereo which is not there before the Nougat B560, but for my ear set bluetooth it works properly.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Yes you have to install the TWRP in order to wipe cache & dalvik cache.
[Mate 8 General] Bromsoket:
Bad news...

Not possible to flash B580.

Tried to flash update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip using TWRP 3.1.0-2 on my L29C432 but it fails.

Tested numerous times but fails every time...
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
How did you test it? I wanted to test it when a guy has talked about of the B581, it stoped me.

You tried to install like that?

Installed TWRP 3.1.0-2

Advanced Wipes of cache, dalvik, data, system and internal sd

Installation of update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip

Installation of update.zip

How does it fail?

What error?

After installation or during?

During reboot?

Thanks for this test!;)
[Mate 8 General] Bromsoket:
I dont remember exactly the error message (should have noted...)

It was something about partitions, data at the end of the installation of

update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip

Anyway this is what i did:

1. installed TWRP 3.1.0-2

2. Rebooted into recovery

3. Format data + factory reset + clear cache

4. Tried to install update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip first but failed..

5. Repeated from step 2 and failed again..

Didnt try the update.zip since the installation of update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip failed.

Does it matter which zip file to install first?

(Ive always installed update_full_NXT-L29_hw_eu.zip first in my prevous installations)
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Untill now, it was the update data in first. I wonder What is the purpose of this file? PACKAGE_TYPE.img. Since the B580, there is this extra file in update.app. Maybe it's what it blocks the installation. I don't know if we can remove it to make the installation.

---------- Post added at 17:48 ---------- Previous post was at 17:39 ----------

. [MENTION=2592085]Bromsoket[/MENTION]

When you open PACKAGE_TYPE.img file with notepad++ like it's written here, you can see that.

ONLINE_UPDATE

It could be the cause. The update would look for something online that would make that yes or no you can do this update.

Edit:

I removed this file (PACKAGE_TYPE.img) with Huawei Extractor. It will be interesting to see if now it works without it.

Edit 2:

Or perhaps replace

ONLINE_UPDATE

by

OFFLINE_UPDATE

I find it strange to be able to open an img file with notepad ++ like that

[Mate 8 General] MegaMedo:
I don't know about EU Version but when I tried it with Middle East Version (C185), TWRP gave error: 07 which means that the rom is incompatible with the device (which doesn't make sense as My phone is C185 same as firmware), I even went inside the Update.zip into updater-script and removed as assert/verification code to force install it and it gave me several unknown errors and failed to boot (thankfully I had backed up my stock B560)

so yeah I have given up hope on installing B580, I even installed stock recovery, locked bootloader and unrooted my phone and waited for the OTA, which fails during update installation at 85%

Here the kicker, I get OTA update but HiSuite says I have the latest version
[Mate 8 General] freaked9:
I started it, it's reacting to the HiSuite, when i try to start the update, but than i got the no connection message.
