[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Looks like there is issue with flashing on other versions than B596.

1.Try factory reset and see if It works.

2. Try HiSuite To go back To Nougat or recover. Try with HiSuite latest version....8.0

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.

Hi jbmc83 how r u man :good:

You still have max 2 :) what about max3, i was waiting for it but i don't like it and i bought mate10 special edition for chinese 128gb and 6gb ram very good phone, but Unfortunately huawei closed unlock bootloader site and i don't know what to do with it :rolleyes: it's useless with out unlock booloader and root :crying:
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
cant complain buddy, always fun to sneak into mate 8 forums and check up on you guys haha :D

yep, huawei and honor phones are dead / out of the question now for custom rom fans like us. so stick to your mate 8 as long as possible!

max 2 custom rom scene is quite active so no reason for me to switch for the time being :) just updated to oreo 8.1.0 recently and very happy with it.

whats not to like about the max 3? just have to wait for custom roms to be available ;)
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
Xiaomi not supported in my country also spare parts very expensive and no agent for supporting, so i bought mate 10, and i have to live with it until something happens or huawei return unlock site.

did u also extract the zip contents using huawei app extractor tool? thats how i usually got my hands on boot images previously...

[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Some questions and thoughts...

1. I know you haven't written the guide in the link but looking at the OP in the link I find it very hard to understand which part that should be followed.

2. You write back to MM then steps 1 to 10, how would you go back to MM?

Edit: Silly question, maybe I'm confused after reading here for a while, but why is it necessary to go to MM?

3. Flash twrp in srk tool might be wrong since specific versions of android/emui require specific versions of twrp and unfortunately the srk tool hasn't been updated for a while.

4. You wrote that AL10C00B386 should be flashed, what version is B386? Is that maybe MM that you mentioned further up?

Because after that you say that update.zip and update_data_full_all_cn.zip should be flashed, and that after the reboot AL10C00B523 will be shown. I guess B523 is Nougat?

After that normal update would give Oreo, since it is out.

Edit: Why is flashing AL10C00B523 needed, after flashing AL10C00B386 shouldn't you be able to use normal update all the way to Oreo?

Which Cust should be used if you are on AL10C00?

Rooting Mate 8 with Android 8

Hi

I have successfully updated my Chinese AL10 (128 GB version) to OREO through the official update method after changing the language of the HiApp to Chinese as suggested somewhere in this forum, and now that I have OREO (Android 8) running on version NXT-AL10 8.0.0.829(C00), will the rooting steps still work here? I haven't tried yet because I don't want to brick the device.

Also, after installing OREO, Huawei released another fix for OREO (around 101 MB), mainly for performance enhancements and stability. When I used to do benchmark tests on my NXT-AL10 with Android 7, all the scores I got were around 80,000, which you also would find if you search Google on most websites that post benchmark and performance scores. I noticed that my device's performance has really been enhanced after the last fix, so I did another usual Antutu Benchmark, and to my surprise, the same device with Android 8 with the latest fix scored 136282 !!! I did the test several times because I couldn't believe what I saw and I thought there must be a mistake, but no, it does really score 136 K!!!

[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
If you have AL10C00Bxxx you update your ota or by hisuite you get to oreo. If you have L29 you return to MM rebrend with SRK to AL, TL, DL .... best is DL if you have dual sim
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I am on L29 but haven't returned down to MM yet, mainly because I don't know which files I should flash. I don't find the instruction in the link before very clear.

My plan was to flash AL10C00B386 (which I think is MM) this would give me C900 because of incorrect branding. I would then root and do proper debrand to AL10 and then reflash AL10C00B386. I imagine, as you say, that once there I could OTA or HiSuite my way straight to Oreo.

And yes I have dual sim. Maybe I should try to go for DL and find the correct files if that is recommended for dual sim.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
After successful debranded to AL10 and flashing your main rom i think you said b386 or what ever, you've to unlock bootloader again if locked then flash twrp recovery and root it, after that you must flash OEM file for DL00 from twrp,

Download DL00 oem (dualcu_cn) from

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/MjUf/NrH2R92at

Then system update(OTA) normally.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I don't know what the main rom should be, but I was thinking AL10C00B386 because that was what you said in https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=77262953

Or rather that is what is said in https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/guide-how-to-install-nougat-al10c00b523-t3500327

To get DL I guess it is the same file just different rebrand code.

My plan:

I am on L29C432B581 with unlocked bootloader but not rooted

1. Flash TWRP for Nougat/Emui5.0

2. Flash AL10C00B386 = MM? (my phone will become C900 because incorrect brand)

- update.zip

- update_data_full_all_cn_.zip

3. Unlock bootloader

4. Flash TWRP for MM/Emui4.1

5. Root with Magisk

6. Rebrand to AL10

Here maybe I should go for DL?

7. Reflash AL10C00B386

8. OTA or HiSuite to Oreo

9. Profit
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
For me the right way to roll back to MM:) and in the end it's up to you, try your way if you like, BUT,,, i wonder how you will flash AL00C00B386 over or on L29 :confused: i don't know if this will work or not!! Try at your own risk :)

Note:

My friend,, me and others advised you many times to go back or roll back to MM for your version then debranding by SRKtools to AL10 like we did it before, and you insist to using your way, So do what ever you want or like,, maybe your way will working, maybe not, i don't know, anyway we'll waiting for you to telling us whether your way has success or failed :)

Regardes
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
If you are on the B581 and you have TWRP flash "oeminfo DL". This is likely to take you to erecovey and download the update ota. This worked for me. Correct is to turn you to MM and use SRK for the DL rebrend. Your choice and you do it at your own risk. Good luck

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=77440911

Hmm that seem weird, I don't think you can rebrand to DL without going to MM first.
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
If you're not sure of yourself, you better stay where you are. If you want more details use the search button. All colleagues tried to help you, if you do not understand which MM versions, NOUGAT or OREO uses the search button and surely if you read the results you will surely receive the answers. I will rebrand to all OREO variants for Chinese models using the above mentioned method. Good luck
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Saying go to MM without specifying anything more, when the question is which version is MM isn't really helping
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
afaik u can just use hisuite on pc to roll back to MM, no need to download any specific firmware files, hisuite will just take care of everything :)

[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I did it the way described by [MENTION=8853473]Georgian51[/MENTION] last weekend and it worked without any problem. I was on NXT-L29C432B581 when I started.

I flashed oeminfo for DL00 in TWRP, booted into erecovery and followed the instruction in there to connect to WiFi and download latest rom. After installation and a long first boot, I logged onto HiCare and updated to Oreo. I then installed Play Store from apkmirror and I was good to go.

I was very sceptical that it would work to only flash DL00 but it worked fine for me.
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
I suppose you are Nougat.Download DL oeminfo, install twrp and flash supersu. After you've done the flash oeminfo flash, reboot system and should take you to erecovery. Good luck
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
There is no need to install supersu for the upgrade process.
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
Use Google translate. There is no need for root for the update process. You must root before flash oeminfo. I did this because debugging by SRK requires root
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Use Google translate for what?

I wasn't rooted before flashing oeminfo. Why did you need debugging by SRK?
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
I use google translation because I do not know English. I said that I made the root before flash oeminfo. If you were to rebrend correctly using SRK you need root. That's exactly why I suggested it was good root.
