[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
I've 3 questions:

What method did you use? 1 or 2

Which brand had you before? L29, L09, DL00, TL00 or AL10

If I understood, you have now a DL00 brand... Have you some chinese in certains menus?
[Mate 8 General] Mohammed_99:
There's many new update files appeared on FF
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Have used method 1 on stock DL00 B596. Have not tested method 2.

I can see a bit Chinese on lockscreen. There were few apps which I uninstalled.

Also, don't know the way to go back to Nougat yet. HiSuite system recovery downloads B596, decompresses but after that gets stuck at downloading recovery.
[Mate 8 General] Bmw130i:
For NXT-L29?? nothing for me in FF

The last one is NXT-L29C185B585 from 03.01.2018
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
best to search for "NXT" only since firmware naming on FF tends to be a bit ambiguous at times ;)
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Friends....for those who want to go back to Nougat from OREO can do so by eRecovery.

I just tried it and it goes back to B596 successfully but with few buns missing. After boot, you need to go to system update and you will see once again update to B596. Update and you will be on proper B596.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
nice, good find :)
[Mate 8 General] Bmw130i:
You mean that any NXT firmware can work on my NXT-L29?? :confused: using ff

[Mate 8 General] flawlessul:
Today I've managed to switch to DL00 and finally Oreo. With help from Georgian51. Thx!

L.E. - One small issue. It has no Gapps. How do I get Play store on it?

L.E.2 - nvm, got it! :)
[Mate 8 General] Kuchman:
Which method did you use to root your phone
[Mate 8 General] flawlessul:
1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash TWRP

3. Flash SuperSU via TWRP
[Mate 8 General] copycat1819:
How do you like it so far? Any bug or issue?
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
Nobody can really help us?
[Mate 8 General] flawlessul:
It has some "things" in chinese in menu but other than that, seems fine. I'm not sure about battery, in my case something is draining it but might be some app I restored from my previous Nougat backup.
[Mate 8 General] flawlessul:
How did you get blue background? 10x

Does Google Pay work on Oreo?

I'm on DL00 and can't see the Google Pay app in the settings. View attachment 4631405View attachment 4631406
[Mate 8 General] ceriqdesign:
I think nope..because there are built in huawei wallet app..i'm already uninstalled the app..we can't use the app either
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Hmm well that shouldn't matter since you choose in the settings, see previously attached pictures, what payment method should be used with NFC. Problem is that Google pay doesn't show up, nor is Huawei wallet.

I seen that on for Samsung devices that have Samsung Pay and Google pay they get both options, I would imagine it would be handle the same way on Huawei devices.

Edit: Tested to install Google Pay on my gf phone, the Mate 10, and it wasn't a problem.

So probably has more to do with Chinese SW than having Huawei wallet.

Edit2: I needed to go to Settings - Google - Google Pay after that I could see Google Pay under Settings - Device connection - NFC - Tap & Pay

i debranded to AL10 835 but i am facing a problem installing kangvip rom.

after flashing it goes straight to bootloop.

i used 829, 834 and 835 Without success.

any tips are appreciated.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Are you on stock B835 without root? Choosing 1st option of flashing entire ROM in Kangvip run.bat? If yes, try doing factory reset after flash n see.
[Mate 8 General] mayrincir:
Guys i have a question. I am on kangvip B829. I dont like global immersion mode. But all the notification bar items colors are black and didnt seen on normal mode, items are seen only on white (light colors) desktop pictures. Is there anyway to turn it white on normal mode.

Thanks in advange.
[Mate 8 General] matthewtech770:
Hello :confused: do anyone on hear know if we can ever see Oreo on the Mate 8 by the end of the Year this phone should get one more major update since it was shipped with Marshmallow Google allows 2 major updates from Manufacters.
[Mate 8 General] purplefrozt:
hello, how to flash link above(mate8 e8 b835 kang) using your twrp from OP. im debranded from L29C185 to Al10C00 and now up to date firmware Al10 8.0.0.835(C00).

thank you
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Just unzip the Kangvip file and you will see run.bat file.

Connect your phone in fastboot mode to PC and run that file.

It will auto install with root.

Choose option correctly. I guess first one.
[Mate 8 General] purplefrozt:
thank you for your answer while was waiting i manage to root my mate 8 Al10 8.0.0.835 with magisk, will this affect the installation process, should i be on stock recovery? thank you again.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
I have always flashed on stock recovery only. You may try and see.
[Mate 8 General] tarekcod:
that didn't works.

i tried factory reset and even data format without success.

now i am using kang 828 from partition restore made by G.Man.
[Mate 8 General] purplefrozt:
have you succesfully flash kang b835? using the run.bat?

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

did you use stock recovery? and did a factory reset with stock recovery?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Yes, have flashed twice.

Both time successfully.

I hope you are waiting for it to flash properly
[Mate 8 General] tarekcod:
yep with stock recovery
[Mate 8 General] purplefrozt:

Using DL00 with only one sim?

I am using Mate 8 single sim running on L29C432B581 Android 7. Want to update to Oreo using the method described above. If I flash oeminfo DL00 will it work?

Yes

How about root and twrp for 835? Is there working twrp without format data.

[MENTION=7669718]apat26[/MENTION]

I tried this https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77147686&postcount=473

to activate face unlock but unfortunately not working,, i tried before but i think with rom 829 and worked fine, is there different with b835.

Thanks
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Hey Hamadazh, I thought you must have sold of your Mate 8.

Root should work with Magisk. Although I haven't tried and directly flashed Kang B835 which had root.

Unfortunately, we have the same recovery till now which you posted... 12.50 mb zip. There is one more on Chinese which I posted the URL but no one was able to get the link from Chinese site.

Yes, I think some problem with face unlock on B835 stock. Kang B835 has it but you need to flash a separate apk which I posted here.

Currently, I am on android Pie Omni ROM from OpenKirin. Working fine apart from a few minor bugs. It is alpha.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Was going to use Google Maps today and got the following request.. If I choose disagree Maps doesn't work. I guess it's because I am on DL00. Is there a work around for this? View attachment 4639826
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Hmmm...never tried disagreeing. May be because it is built in Navigating app for Chinese?
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I think it is because I am on chinese firmware, I do not have AutoNavi installed

You can unlock if you have they code. Else, DC unlocker....

Hello guys, i wanna try the treble roms any suggestions for a daily driver rom, any known bugs also

I'm on 835 dl00 debranded
[Mate 8 General] lvrksn:
im on the omnirom alpha 5. the huawei camera works ok but sometimes it crashes( you can use another from playstore with no problem). If you want to use NFC then you will have to flash a magisk module. Some people had trouble with bluetooth but its supposedly fixed on the last build released yesterday,cant tell you since i dont use bluetooth at all. Regarding this, the rom is super smooth, battery life is very good and you can with no doubt use this rom as your daily driver. i was skeptical about testing it but no regrets at all. Also you can join the telegram group and the devs are super helpful if you have a problem.
[Mate 8 General] M.abdo:
Great to here that, do you have their forum to check and download the rom ?
[Mate 8 General] lvrksn:
you can find the forum here under the original android development section. its openkirin aosp collection. you will find useful stuff there and you will find step by step guide on their page also. you have all the information you need. Good luck!

sorry to many query. i would to try other roms besides openkirins omni 5.2.

your reply is appriciated

i asked what method not which rom pie :)

but thank you for the reply i appreciate it. :good:
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Ah OK... Sorry dear... I tried both, twrp as well as fastboot.

I guess the problem is our system partition is smaller than what is required for Pie. We have less than 2 GB whereas it needs more than that.

May be thats why a few of the Oreo gsi don't boot too.

Like was never able to boot Oreo Pixel Experience.
[Mate 8 General] purplefrozt:
well thats a bummer the hopes of getting a particular rom has no died. end of mate8 :crying: i guess....

[Mate 8 General] davidbekham12:
WHAT THIS eRecovery ?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
With your bootloader being unlocked, when you switch off your phone and switch it on, you will see yellow notes. Quickly press volume up button for about 7-8 secs and lift....Soon you will enter eRecovery option which will ask if you want to recover your system.

You must have a SOLID WIFI connection available.
[Mate 8 General] GEOVANNI MTZ:
My team could not recover by erecovery, I had to do it by box and paying 35 euros, when I installed Oreo I lost the signal and did not recover with anything, so I tried to return to nougat but I always gave error, there was no way to do it ni x ADB since the debugging was blocked and there was no way to activate it since I would enter SIM to unblock debugging, but not recognizing any sim could not do it, I tried it in many ways until I could never again enter fastboot, for that reason I had to pay for q to light it with noutga but with model tl00, I rebrand my model and install the update x fasboot to recover all my systems as signal.

Excuse my English, I use the translator.

NXT-L09
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Thanks for info!;) I'll so wait my country firmware. I bought my Mate 8 in China, it's a DL00 model, I remember that was unpleasant to have this chinese at few locations in the menu.

Where have you got this?

Here?!

no, that I took it from the forum of mate 9, I installed it in my mate 8 and it worked.

Is Oreo any smoother vs nougat? Does it Still have the weird scrolling (like you will scroll and it keeps going a bit after you stop)
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Used it for 5-6 days and this is what I have observed :

1. System is smooth and fluid. All working per my use. I am not a Gamer so haven't played any.

2. Battery as good as chinese Nougat but not as good as MM.

3. Interface and asthetics changes are less compared to what it was from MM to Nougat. You will feel like you are on Nougat only.

4. Settings compressed to fewer heads and then sub Settings under each.

5. WIFI and connectivity unstable sometimes.

6. Didn't notice any scrolling issue.

7. Voice unclear sometimes on call.

8. All Google apps and contact sync working good.

9. Twin app is available for whatsapp which was not there on Chinese Nougat.

All in all, no major issue considering it is a beta. I am sure Huawei will release a solid stable update.

[Mate 8 General] MohamedElSadany:
Hi

Did you manage to return to stock recovery?
[Mate 8 General] malekowsky:
So I decided to deep dive and give it a shot (huge disclaimer here) The mate 8 I own is now my secondary phone, so I don't mind if it gets bricked, so if you're using it as a daily driver, I strongly recommend you to stay away from trying it.

So long story short, it worked with its lot of hassle. so after updating to Oreo following the instructions as listed in previous threads, I grabbed the Twrp (mate 9) version here: https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783353 Followed the instructions and flashed it via fastboot. Then I grabbed this version here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...ses/download/v18/system-arm64-ab-gapps-su.img and followed the instructions here: https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/

It bootlooped a couple of times, I was about to give then I remembered reading in mate 9 forum that performing a factory or data reset via eRecovery can do the trick. So I performed a data wipe and the mate 8 finished the booting. However, you'll be presented with a couple of error messages such as your ''device has a problem, please contact the manufacturer'' or a message similar to that. Playstore seems broken, well I cannot install Apps, I am sure I will just have to update Gapps. Fingerprint works, although I am not a big fan of that feature. Upon rebooting, I was asked to reset the phone ''data corruption'' or something so I ended resetting the phone again. I haven't tried rebooting it again to see if it will give me the same message. It has just been installed for the last 30 min or so so don't ask me how's the battery and stuff and most likely I'll keep playing with by installing other AOSP flavors such as RR an see how it goes. Another thing to mention, looks like MTP is not functional, upon plugging the mate 8 to my computer, it did not mount. I'll provide you with an update later on.

As mentioned, if your phone is your daily driver, stay away from it.

I am uploading a screenshot I took, so you know that I am not telling fairy tales. Looks like the mate 8 will simply not give up.
