Hi guys time for updating to Oreo now :D

What's twrp recovery version you use it for flashing kang ?

Special thanks for [MENTION=7669718]apat26[/MENTION]
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
From the instructions, looks like Kang you need to flash through fastboot only. I am downloading still. Will extract and see if anything is there.

Chinese translation sometimes is not clear (as in post above).
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
Thanks :good:

I'll back to stock b596 now and see if Oreo udate will appear in system update or not
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
It wont. Because it is not released yet. Wait is tooo long this time. Dont know when it will be released officially. OREO, you need to upgrade through HWOTA method only.

Then flash Kang B822 for Oreo.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
Ok my friend i will waiting :good:

thank you so much :good:
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
I just flashed KangVip B822 successfully. You need to extract file and in fastboot mode, click run.bat and it will give you option to chose and download.

[Mate 8 General] apat26:
yes...have already tried Carbon rom, LOS, and RR, and all are working except camera crashes.
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
Yeah but 4 me after reboot its doesn't boot up again it says that u have to do a factory reset... I know that i have to do a factory reset in Stock recovery but it stuck at 16 %.. Also i can't do an full factory reset.. I think i need an working twrp for emui 8...

So do you have the same **** or can u do an factory reset in recovery?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
have u tried different camera apps like gcam? or is the crash hardware/driver based?

822 - Kvip mega link

Hi,

I am going through some difficult times in my life and didn't login lately.

Saw your message only today. Sorry for the late reply.

If anyone is still interested.This is the link to the folder containing both the files 822 kvip and 822 lite.

https://mega.nz/#F!7iIkxCyK!K5BGv2hH_JIAokR1kYnG4g

My mate 8 got bricked few months back and I got it back to working condition with great difficulty. So debranding is not an option.

That is why I am requesting all guys who flashed successfully to give step by step procedure for both AL10 and L29 with links to files that are needed especially on L29C432B582. My mate 8 is running Kangvip L29B582432 - B595 - ROM which was restored from backup - didn't flash it.

I would appreciate if anyone is kind enough to do that. Thanks in advance.

Cheers! :good::good::good:

[Mate 8 General] Yannness:
Hi guys,

I'm having a lot of problems updating to Oreo. I hove got to MM then Nougat and try the method with HWOTA but I got error 9 in TWRP. No matter which recovery I use: 3.1.0; 3.1.1, 3.2.0; Mate9 recovery etc... I still get error 9. I have tried to look online for infos on this error but to no avail.

Now I will try the new Klang Oreo directly from twrp. Hope it works.

If you have any suggestions it will be nice. Thanks.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
Hi Sam thank you for your help

And for you situation I think you must be on Chinese firmware b596 if you want to have Oreo,, not sure about that but I saw post for [MENTION=7669718]apat26[/MENTION] talking about Oreo update for non Chinese frirmware ,, take a look to this post and this post maybe help.

Take care I noticed some people on L29 & L09 have a brick.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
You should be on stock Oreo.

Just 3 steps, factory reset, fastboot flash system, factory reset again, reboot. Stock recovery and Stock Oreo only.

Dont use twrp, wipes messes up partitions...etc.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Not gcam but bacon and one more but it does not open at all after first time initial screens. Then You click and instantly crashes. One of the develops at OpenKirin got Mate 8 and started working. Let us see.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Pl dont flash on Nougat. Strictly no no.

You should be on Oreo first. Then in fastboot, follow the instructions in ROM.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
Hi [MENTION=7669718]apat26[/MENTION]

I can download b822 from ff and use it with instructions in OP?

Which Oreo version you have before flashing kangb822 ? That one in OP?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
You should be on Chinese B596 first of all. Debrand first. Then follow OP exactly with given twrp. With Other regions direct rebranding is giving problems.

Kang Oreo should be flashed via fastboot only and that too on Stock Oreo as we are flashing system img only.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Yes, You are correct. Download 822 from FF and use OP method. I was on stock 822 only.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Correct, safest to be on or debrand to Chinese B596 first. Then everything sails.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
Thanks :good:

Back now to stock b596 then to Oreo hope everything goes well without breaking :D

---------- Post added at 06:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

Hi

Another question in ff there's only 2 files update.zip and update_full_NXT-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip but in op there's 3 files what should I do?

Should I Take that one update_data_full_public.zip from op with those files from ff?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
There are 3 files. Look at full version without log.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
I have flashed all 4 versions with OP method. 810/811/820/822. The only prob is You cant upgrade as still Not released officially so no way. Everytime, i had to eRecovery back to B596 and again flash new version.

I think with android 8 and all of the devices now will become treble supported, twrp will become thing of the past. Fastboot flash custom.img, fastboot flash Stock.img back.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
no its only 2 files in full version ,:confused: maybe something wrong in ff full version was 2.3gb but after download finished the folder in memory is 1.75

dont know why?

can i use those file in OP then flashing kangb822?
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
That's what i do but always the same.. It newer do a full factory reset... This happen on all trebel roms..

Sometimes are mysterious :D

Have u unlock your bootloader again on oreo?

I have unlocked it and flashd than the trebel Rom maybe that's the problem but i don't know..
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
I downloaded and can see now also...
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
your stock rom b822 you download it from where?
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Unlocking is required. but if You are flashing treble on treble, that may be a problem. Be on Stock Oreo. I hope You are flashing ROMs from OpenKirin site.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
FF web version but i can see files now on my mobile too.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Hold for 5 mins and will post the link if You still Not getting.

Maybe i have Problems with my Partition or Stock Recovery:eek:
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Strange here again...:)

I was able to flash all three on first attempt without any issues. You doing factory reset BEFORE flashing too? That is required. And those are all betas so may be some other small issues but I quickly checked Camera after initial setup and came back since I cant do without camera.

I was thanking you and [MENTION=4537581]hamadazh[/MENTION] but it says thanks limited to 16 in a day only....lol. Came across such a situation for the first time....:)

Download TWRP

Current Version is EMUI 5.X Andorid7.X Application: pan.baidu.com/s/1dfhBCJpRU7mRfhksPIIH_g

Current Version is EMUI8.X Andorid8.X Application: pan.baidu.com/s/1RhrsntDlzU8fVX3JKG930g

You need to extract and it gives you option to flash both, TWRP and stock recovery via run.bat just as we flashed Kang Oreo.

[Mate 8 General] Yannness:
How do you know you are on Chinese B596? I am able to get on B584 through twrp with HuRUpdater_0.3.zip method. Then I get an OTA update but it fails because I am on TWRP. I have try the 3 button method (VOL up + Vol down + power button) but it fails too.

Can I use the HuRUpdater_0.3.zip method to go to B596? then debrand to Chinese stock before applying the HWOTA method?
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
Dont brick your Phone bro....;)
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Oh ok....may be it was just meant to flash zips through Hurupdater only?

Got your system back?

Don't mix up too much. Just go to eRecovery and go back to B596. Then again......
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Just post your full build no. If you are already on Chinese B596, why debrand again? Something missing here.

You wont be able to upgrade if rooted or TWRP. Remove ROOt and be on stock recovery and then upgrade to Stock B596 through system updater.
[Mate 8 General] Yannness:
I can confirm that the HuRUpdater_0.3.zip method to get to B596 worked. I was able to do it. Now I have debranded using post #21, just to make sure I follow the steps because I didn't know if it really was on Chinese stock or not. I have no clue to tell.

I will try now the HWOTA method.

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

When I try the HWOTA method I get error 9 in TWRP. I don't know why. This is what I was reporting earlier. This is what is really stopping me moving on Oreo.

I was able to get to MM and Nougat using the HuRUpdater_0.3.zip method, debranded (just to make sure) using post #21 instructions but get stuck with error 9 in TWRP.
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
the problem is twrp not working (system read only and can not untick it) and many things not working too ,, i tried to flash official recovery from same CN file and flash kang again but it seems I must be on b596 again i tried many twrp that one for mate 9 and another one from CN site but not working too.

now i restore b596 from eRecovery and it is 10% now.

i will back to b596 and waiting for official twrp :D.

thank you guys for help :good::good:

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

At least enjoy your new system for a few days bro.....:)

You just got Oreo and on top of that Kang.....

Let us wait for proper TWRP release.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
If you are on STOCK CHINESE B596, OP method will work 100%. I have tried almost 15 times by now and every time successfully.

Did you do factory reset after debranding? You may not have debranded properly. Post no. 21 debranding is not working properly. Follow SRK Tools and go to MM Chinese first.
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Nope. Dont do that. You will brick. Partitions are different .

[Mate 8 General] Yannness:
Ok I might have missed something because it worked now. I have now upgraded to B596 from B584 with normal OTA. But when I have tried the HWOTA method directly (without rebranding) I still get error 9 in TWRP. I will try rebranding now before trying again the HWOTA method.

----------------------

Other weird things....

There is a time when I was on B584 I got a message all in red (instead of the usual orange colour) just before booting that I didn't pass security etc.. but I was still able to boot in B584.

When I have tried to unlock bootloader, when the phone restarted to get to "Factory reset lowlevel.." automatically. I guess it's normal when you do a clean install?

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

I thought that when you were on NXT-AL10 stock rom you were already on Chinese stock rom since the rom is only available for Chinese Mate 8? Isn't it? If not I will have to start again from scratch and debrand to Chinese stock rom in MM. Which build should I use for MM?

----------------------

This is what I get in TWRP:

[Mate 8 General] apat26:
No need to rebrand if you are already on stock Chinese B596. AL10, right? I hope you have downloaded right files. Files for AL10 and not DL00.
[Mate 8 General] Yannness:
I am on NXT-AL10C00B596 stock rom. Emui 5.01 Android 7.

Yes is it AL10 files. I have just checked them again.

I really don't understand what's going on? I am baffled that I cannot pass this stage. This error 9 also seems to be unknown as I cannot find information on the net...
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
Do you use SD card or internal memory?
[Mate 8 General] Yannness:
I use internal memory.
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
Use SD CARD and it will definitely go. I've tried the internal memory a few times and only once went.

Be careful with zip editing
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Yes, that is the only problem you are having.

Flash through SD card
[Mate 8 General] Yannness:
So you guys mean I should use external card? not the internal phone memory? Ok I will try it now.

Finger and toes crossed :cowboy: it will work. :highfive:

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Updating from the SD Card (external card), It try to reboot a couple times and get into normal erecovery and stops there. When I reboot it goes normally to the rom which is B596. I have to install again TWRP and then I can the error 9 message again.

So I guess it's a fail. But it seemd like it wants to go somewhere. So It's an improvement but not a final solution.

UPDATED

CONFIRMATION THAT HuRUpdater_0.3.zip method works for OREO

NB: The reason why I am trying this method is because I had difficulties updating with the HWOTA method. I always get error 9 in TWRP. But you could try the method below if you want but it's not perfect or without issues i.e. I have no mobile network which I am working to fix.

I can confirm that I have been able to successfully update from B596 to Oreo using the HuRUpdater_0.3.zip method which is a much easier and straight forward way.

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

I was on stock NXT-AL10C00B596

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

2. Unlock the loader.

3. Install TWRP .

4. Download the HuRUpdater_0.3.zip from the link above.

5. Download the firmwares from apat26 post #21 and rename the archives:

- update_data_full_public.zip in update_data_public.zip ,

- update_full _... zip in update_all_hw.zip ,

- update.zip leave unchanged.

6. Copy the above archives to a folder you have created and name it as you which.

7. Copy the HuRUpdater_0.3.zip to the same folder. You will have 4 files in total.

7. Copy the folder to the root of the SD card (external card not internal memory).

8. Go to TWRP, select install, select HuRUpdater_0.3.zip archive in the new folder and start the installation.

NB: You can update B822 directly; download from below

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76925617&postcount=261

9. When it reboots it might say:

"Data partition severely corrupted. To reset your device, please format the data partition.

Note: user data will be wiped after recovery."

Just go into bootloader and you will see phone locked. Unlock your phone and let it reset. It should done after that.

10. Say thank you if it worked for you.

Cheers, Good Luck

Hi have now installed KangVip Oreo via .bat file on PC. So far everything seems fine.

But I don't have any mobile network working.

Do you guys have the same problem? How to fix it? By flashing the update_all_cn.zip in twrp? I haven't booted to recovery yet. I am trying to restore my files. It wasn't working before I got to KangVip though.

No such problem here. Both SIM working perfect.

Try to do a factory reset through stock recovery and see if it works.

Or flash Kang again and see.
