Sorry for posting here, but I want to ask as many user as possible.

I'm not sure if this is a common "issue" for huawei phone(kirin soc? emui?).

TL version mate8, on b596.

with wifi on, the phone drastically comsumes battery even in sleep. for example, sleep from 5pm to next day 9am. battery goes from 80% to high 30.....

with wifi off, even longer time period 11am to 11am next day, percentage barely drops....

4000mah new battery replaced recently.

battery itself and apps are definitely not the issue here.

View attachment 4538875

View attachment 4538876

this even gets weirder.

it's clearly that wifi comsumed most juice, but battery usage and consumption showed totally different results..

View attachment 4538877

View attachment 4538878

so what exactly drains my battery like crazy??!

compare to my 4 years old Xperia Z2(no battery replacment):

with wifi on, only drops like 2-3% over night

only drops from 100% to 92% from 6/27 7am to 6/30 1pm(78 hours) with wifi off.

Both device wifi are set to always on.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
install accubattery for detailed per app power consumption that way ull know more...
[Mate 8 General] ericjwg:
see the icon upper left corner?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
haha ok didnt catch that then im wondering why u didnt check accubattery for detailed app power consumption...?
[Mate 8 General] ericjwg:
cuz i dont see any kind of unusual consumption in accubattery pro.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
maybe try betterbatterystats as well
[Mate 8 General] ericjwg:
if u can please try turn on wifi overnight.

make sure wifi is set to always on. emui default is always on only if in charging.

see if u have similar battery draining speed with wifi on.

Is the scrolling smoother on Oreo??? Or does it have the same artificial weird scrolling on nougat?
[Mate 8 General] onedial:
Did anyone get one of the 20000 slots for the testing on Emui 8? Is there any difference in that update from 820/822?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
You can downgrade from OREO to NOUGAT through HiSuite now.......:)
[Mate 8 General] true86no:
I was on it but then realised it's not a queue slot, it was open spots left. I thought I was on queue so I watched the numbers dwindle to 0. Didn't get any ota at the end. I can read a bit of Chinese. On Mate8 Huawei forum, they speak of it as 20k open slots.
[Mate 8 General] true86no:
There is a new twrp posted on July 1st. There is no change log though. I'm assuming it's an Oreo update. Can anyone confirm?

https://dl.twrp.me/next/
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
you should have clicked the button below when the quota was available and it would have got pushed to your system update. Now we can expect open push for all anytime soon.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
You are right. Looks like for Oreo only.
[Mate 8 General] true86no:
This is what it looks like after it runs out. I clicked both before and after. It would send to system update in settings but there was no update every time. Quite frustrating tbh.

I tried ff but there's no Oreo update for C00.

There's a al10_all on pc ff but it always fail at 5%.

I have unlock code but don't really want to use it.

Waiting a couple days, manicly checking all the time..
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
https://dl.twrp.me/next/

Anyone test it :cowboy: or I've to do it by myself :laugh:

I checked FF for news I found the full 822 firmware was removed!! and the official Oreo is 820 not 822 :confused: now I want flash 822 again and test the new twrp or waiting for official ?

View attachment 4541506 View attachment 4541507
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Lol.....test and let us know....;)

Yes, 822 is removed soon as they released 820 as first official firmware. You may test it on 820 only.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
That one in OP is 820 ? Or you mean waiting for official?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
OP is old 810 log only.

Take from FF. New 820.....file no. 148595

[Mate 8 General] apat26:
This is official which is released. I have updated OP too, with 820 links now.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
Thanks boss :D:good:
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
I am in constant touch with developers at OpenKirin site. Since Camera was crashing on all the treble builds, they specially ordered Mate 8 and tested, troubleshooted and it is almost working now. OpenKirin's next builds will support Kirin 950 smartphones including Mate 8. That is, Carbon ROM, LOS, RR....etc.... Soon we will have something different to taste....:)

Thanks to all the developers there... especially.... [MENTION=5066134]irony_delerium[/MENTION] who put in a hell lot of efforts in this project for Kirin 950. He bought a Mate 8 this week just for this.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
Thanks for all Dev. :good:

Wow,, at last we'll taste and (test) new things :laugh: with new different brick :laugh::laugh::good:
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
lol....You are too much man..
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
lol... I'll flashing Oreo now then twrp :D :good: wait for good news :)
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
:good: :good: all the best.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
thanks :good:

in OP the file hwota still the same? you not change it with new Oreo 820? there is 2 recovery files ..... no problem?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
its the same....go ahead.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
the new twrp not working too

View attachment 4541706

the CN twrp also not working when i click crypt data asking me for crypt password also in mount system read only i can not untick it too:(

so now i will keep Oreo for some time for testing :D:D
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
ohk...so this fails. You got your system back?:(
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
yeah system boot normally and i use kang script for twrp there is official and twrp,, but it boot manually i found one from mate 10 lit forum i testing it now it work i make backup from it and test more things now :D
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
lol.....now i have a very nice brick:D i can not enter to eRecovery to restore :D
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
after trying many things i can now enter to eRecovery and restoring b596 :angel::good:
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
LOL... you are a brick master. I saw your error screen that's why I asked but you said it's working. BTW, how did you unbrick? A lot of people have same issue with Huawei.

You may post the steps.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
The salution here in your thread HERE :good:

Then

https://xdaforums.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279

For that error in screenshot that because twrp not compatible with system and don't do any thing just reboot then back again to fastboot then flash stock recovery or other twrp version.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
So the conclusion is we don't have a working TWRP for OREO yet.... :(:(
[Mate 8 General] matthewtech770:
:confused:is it to late to unlock my boot loader for open kirn rom when it comes to the Mate 8
[Mate 8 General] irony_delerium:
You still have a few weeks to get your code.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Good to see you here my friend Chris [MENTION=5066134]irony_delerium[/MENTION].

Thanks for all the efforts to make open kirin ROMs work on Mate 8. Awaiting the next builds.

Now we can trouble you here only.... :);)
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
So after a lot of efforts by [MENTION=5066134]irony_delerium[/MENTION] , I am on camera working RR.

Haven't checked all the functionalities yet.

Will keep posted.

Many many thanks to him...

I am sure he will post the details here soon.
[Mate 8 General] Mohammed_99:
I'm so happy to hear that, I'm waiting to test that :good: :D

I don't know what should I say :p

Thank you for the big efforts.
[Mate 8 General] matthewtech770:
Anyone knows when we're going to see the Oreo update

I'm trying so hard not to taper and mod my Phone :confused:
[Mate 8 General] irony_delerium:
Assuming that it makes it out of China, probably still several months.
[Mate 8 General] matthewtech770:
I had my Mate 8 for 2 years still have stock firmware Android 7.0 thanks again for your help:laugh:
[Mate 8 General] irony_delerium:
Meh, picked mine up on eBay, used Chinese model (NXT-DL00C17). Mostly specifically for the purpose of getting the camera working under 8.1 Treble ROMs. :D
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
For China, first 20000 quota rolled out already and 5000 everyday will start from Monday....crazy system

For ROW.....time to go.....:(:(:(
[Mate 8 General] Mohammed_99:
Actually, HUAWEI privacy on updating devices is very very bad.

It just focuses on the Chinese models, and leave the others for a long time.

I don't know what is wrong with them.
[Mate 8 General] onedial:
I'm using the Mate 8 as my daily driver, should I upgrade to Oreo by debranding or should I just wait for my region to ?get the update? I really want to upgrade.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
Daily driver? So ...

Better to wait,,, :good:
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
For those of you restless guys like me.....here is how you can flash Oreo through TWRP....

You should be on Chinese stock B596 or debrand to Chinese stock B596 first.

1. Obtain the unlock code of the loader (DC-Unlocker, site).

2. Unlock the loader.

3. Install TWRP .

4. Download the HWOTA folder and unpack it on your PC.

5. Download the firmware and rename the archives:

- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip ,

- update_full _... zip to update_all_hw.zip ,

- update.zip leave unchanged.

6. Copy the above archives to the HWOTA folder.

7. Copy the HWOTA folder to the root of the SD card.

8. Go to TWRP, to update, select the nxt_hwota_update.zip archive in the HWOTA folder and start the installation. It will reboot and start the installation.

All thanks to sand_phoenix from 4pda forum.

Note: If you want to go back to Nougat, unlock the bootloader and use eRecovery (with a strong WIFI available) to go back to stock B596.

I have successfully flashed and looks like most of the things working. Too early to predict battery, performance,...etc.

IMPORTANT :

I have flashed on stock B596. I dont know if this works on other region or ROMs. Let us know if someone had tried. Try at your own risk.

CAUTION :

Just checked with HiSuite 8.0. It is not giving option to go back to Nougat as mentioned in the changelog. Have not checked with HiSuite 5.0.

I guess Huawei will activate this option only once they release beta for testers.

FLASH WITH CAUTION KEEPING THIS IN MIND.

Only way to go back to B596 now is through eRecovery.
[Mate 8 General] Mohammed_99:
Wow :)

Great work :good:

Thank you for that :good::good::good:
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
Nice nice.. It works for me too.. Now i am on Oreo too.. :svetius::laugh:
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:

thanks
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
wow absolutely amazing guys! so happy for you! :) pls show the full about phone, would love to see the details on the oreo build!
[Mate 8 General] JanValentine:
project treble support?
[Mate 8 General] SunnyChinese:
Hello,which recovery should i flash? the type of the phone is NXT-DL00.
[Mate 8 General] YuJie-Liu:
Now that Huawei has closed the unlock code application channel, I cannot use this method to upgrade it.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/DEWc/a9fDVbgpz

this is.the link for HWOTA folder

IMPORTANT :

I have flashed on stock B596. I dont know if this works on other region or ROMs. Let us know if someone had tried.

To go back To Nougat, you can do so with HiSuite. This is mentioned in changelog. Although I have not tried yet.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
This one for recovery

[Mate 8 General] apat26:
You should b on TWRP recovery and not stock. Soon a You press on zip, It will again boot into recovery and start flashing.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
DL00 is the best.
[Mate 8 General] SunnyChinese:
Thanks very much

thanks apat26 :good:
[Mate 8 General] Bmw130i:
Good news, how about treble project??
[Mate 8 General] Mohammed_99:
I think it will not support Mate 8.

That's because of the device hardware will be old.
[Mate 8 General] alexito696:
I updated my nxt-dl00 to android 8 for the second time. The first was through twrp the second officially by HiCare exhausting the quota of 5000 daily. And again I have problems in the battery charge both with the phone on and off. It connects and disconnects randomly. When you downgrade Android 7 and 6 the problem disappears. Does someone else happen to you? It is not problem of the battery is android 8.
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
For those who want to return to android 7 emui 5, they can do it through HiSuite and the dload method
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
HiSuite, I tested. Dload working too?
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
Have not tried. Once FF has definitely approved it goes
[Mate 8 General] alexito696:
Dload metod only work in emui 4/4.1. firmware finder not aproved installation of emui 8 for me but HiCare yes.(quota 5000)
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Friends, I have almost 100% working and smooth LOS. Soon we will have RR and Carbon too. All on openkirin site. Have been testing with them for a few days now and they are troubleshooting the issues. Looks like all resolved.

Yes, you'll have to be on Oreo to start with.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
hi

is there any working twrp with LOS or stock Oreo?
[Mate 8 General] irony_delerium:
On a device that's been decrypted, most of them seem to work in my experience. I've personally used the one for Mate 9 (mostly because I already had it), but like most Huawei devices, decryption support only seems to work on stock.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
i am on stock b820 now and i want to test it can you send to me the link for that twrp :)

[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
I have updated today at Oreo official. If you go to Oreo there are definitely differences
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Yes, you can use it as a daily driver without any issues. It is Stock only.

You can upgrade to Oreo through HiCare.

Only difference is no Google apps and a few added functionalities in Chinese. You can easily download Gapps through Appmarket app fro Huawei. Better battery in Chinese.
[Mate 8 General] ericjwg:
i want magisk.

but it seems there is no recovery for mate8 oreo...

Anyone actually got the official OTA update? I was among the first 20k people to sign up on 6/30 and still haven't got anything yet. On bone stock B596 right now.

I personally suggest DL00 since it is dual SIM working. Go back to MM and follow SRK Tools tutorial thread.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Yes, I got it pushed to my system updater through HiCare. You have quota a lot available till tomorrow, 15th. I guess it will become open update soon.
[Mate 8 General] M.abdo:
Thanks i downgraded my phone and tried to change info through SLK Tools but it contains only AL00 and after debrand it requires format then my phone became C900

do you have the cust and oem info for DL00 or where can i find them
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
I have posted here in nougat thread....m outside now. just check else will post in sometime. Once on AL10 , just flash that zip through twrp. Reboot and Go to your system updater and you will get the update.
[Mate 8 General] M.abdo:
thanks but which zip to flash through twrp do you mean update_full_NXT-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip or the Al10 one ?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
nope....once you are on AL10 MM....this is oemifo zip for DL00. Once you flash this through twrp. you dont need to do anything else. System updater will take you Alltheway to Nougat B596

Discussion on Nougat thread....see page no. 192.

My post and oem info file below that.
[Mate 8 General] true86no:
Same exact boat as you. Was #16xxx on the HiCare queue but it just would not push to Systems Updater.

I did a full reset (frustration) and it looked like I lost my queue number. At 10am the next day, I tried again. HiCare recalled my #16xxx spot and this time successfully pushed Oreo to Systems Updater.

Success. Am on Oreo bone stock now.

YMMV.

P.s. I have never reset phone since I bought it two years ago. It updated fine all the way except Oreo. Never unlocked and stock all this time.
[Mate 8 General] ericjwg:
TL00 model. on emui 8 b820

bricked with the ERROR MODE white screen, when bootloader is unlock. boot up and directly goes to erecovery when bl is locked.

since it's a TL00 unit, not debranded, and according the update log, it can only rollback to with hisuite on pc with "system update" option. and i did test, erecovery doesn't work. so does the fastboot recovery mode in hisuite.

tried dload with older firmware, doesn't work.

what are my options here?

edit: nvm. find a b820 fastboot flashing package and get it work again.
