Thanks for confirming that our Mate 8 supports Project Treble.

Great job dear....:good::good::good::):):)

Pl post more screenshots. Which ROM is this?
[Mate 8 General] malekowsky:
It's this one here: https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659

Version A, Huawei only support version A. Well the most important screenshot is the one ''about the device'' it has all the info, including the security patch date and the model number. I am sure the security patch on Stock mate Oreo is not recent. The one on screenshot is the most recent one. Cheers, I am heading to bed.
[Mate 8 General] Mohammed_99:
I'm so happy to hear that :)

I hope you attach screenshots for this rom because, I will try it soon.
[Mate 8 General] malekowsky:
So I've continued testing, there is an issue with the decryption and as I mentioned each time I reboot the phone, it asks to reset the phone because of encryption. It's very encouraging though to be able to boot LOS and RR such as in SS below, but not worth the hassle for now. Just so you know, that following the tests, I reverted back to B596 from recovery and then from there unlocked OEM via Fastboot, installed TWRP and upgraded to Oreo again. I'll tinker with the phone again next wknd if I have some time.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
the vendor image mismatch makes sense if you consider that treble compatibility requires you to modify the vendor partition on a device...

if you have the time, you should also try the 8.0 AOSP ttrble build, it could potentially be more forgiving in terms of apparent bugs since official oreo rom is also based on 8.0.

in any case, good job! awesome to see that the good old mate 8 is basically immortal now :D you guys would just need to find a dev willing to tweak the custom rom images to properly work on the mate 8 (maybe dare and try to flash a mate 9 custom rom?)
[Mate 8 General] KaRLiKCZ:
Magisk & root

Did anyone tried to root the Oreo?

I tried TWRP from Mate 8 and it seems working, except system partition. Also Magisk is installed and apps have root access, but Magisk don't pass Safety Net.

System partition have problem with encryption.

[Mate 8 General] GEOVANNI MTZ:
I had to recover it by the middle of the box that finally gave a complete brick and with TWRP I could recover all they marked me partitions error.
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
Hello What TWRP did you use? And what Magisk for root?
[Mate 8 General] MohamedElSadany:
Thanks

But already installed https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783353 from malekowsky's post #96

And this twrp is working well except for usb otg, it can not detect it. I managed to return to android 7, of course after trying treble project, but i've got a boot loop.
[Mate 8 General] Ww222:
Hi

Can I install project treble on nxt-l29c185b580 without debrand?
[Mate 8 General] MohamedElSadany:
I think you need Android 8.0 first, and you can not do this without debranding.
[Mate 8 General] Bmw130i:
If I de brand my phone to Chinese version, did I lose all my data??
[Mate 8 General] Mohammed_99:
Yes, you will lose everything.

Anyone can post the link?

Thanks.

[Mate 8 General] ericjwg:
huawei announced devices release after today will no longer be able to unlock bootloader.

for already released devices, unlock code will be obtainable for the next 60 days only.

wonder the status for mate 8 oreo, since you guys all said the device is relocked after upgrade.
[Mate 8 General] Bmw130i:
When I read this, I asked the same question
[Mate 8 General] ericjwg:
just registered an account, it requires identity verification.... wtf

looks like we need some help from xda user in China
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
If you already Have your bootloader code, you can unlock again...for older devices. If you dont Have the code, quickly get it within next 60 days.
[Mate 8 General] daser4berlin:
Or use DC-unlocker.. ;)
[Mate 8 General] Samavb:
Hello guys,

Thank you for the mention. Many times in my previous posts I mentioned I don't have access to these Chinese sites.

I searched in Google but I didn't get the file.

So I posted the question on reddit.com under r/AndroidQuestions asking any users who have access to above site to upload the TWRP 3.2.1 for Huawei mate 8 on different File hosting site & give me the link.

Meanwhile, I kept searching Google and found an interesting site https://www.androidsage.com/2017/12/02/twrp-3-2-0-android-download-install/

On this site they mentioned something about TWRP builder and steps to do it. You can have a look at this link.

https://www.androidsage.com/2018/04/12/download-twrp-for-all-android-devices-official-unofficial/

On that page I clicked on Huawei - > I was redirected to twrp.me site and then clicked on Huawei Mate 8 (next)

Then I was taken to TWRP for Huawei Mate 8 page

Below -

Under the Download links - Primary Americas and Primary Europe

When I checked there - There is

TWRP 3.2.1

https://mega.nz/#!KuAEgLbJ!q6fxL6M9LxTTKyZnf6iGn_6ND0bwyrSNq8n812zPbh8

Link to download directly from TWRP (for Huawei Mate 8) - https://dl.twrp.me/next/

Once again I was damn lucky* to find it. Now I hope it works and doesn't give any unpleasant surprises. Fingers crossed * If it doesn't work then put your Huawei Mate 8 in fastboot mode (press and hold volume down & then connect your Mate 8 to computer. Open SRK tools - type 000 for command prompt - flash twrp 3.1.1.1 by typing the command fastboot flash recovery twrp ( before you type this you have to place the twrp 3.1.1.1 file inside the SRK tools folder and rename the file as twrp. ) Once you do this you should be able to boot normally & have your previous TWRP working. If any one reading this is new to flashing or not experienced with Mate 8 then please do not flash.

Disclaimer

* - Since, I found this on official TWRP site, we should be able to trust the file. Whether to flash this or not is entirely

your

decision. I am just sharing what I found. I hope this is the file we are searching for. I apologize to all if this file doesn't work. I searched and shared what I found. I didn't make this file so please DON'T blame me if it doesn't work

There is always risk involved & no guarantee this will work. So proceed with

caution

. Always take backup of your data before you flash anything.

Personally, I feel it would be better if franzyroy tests this file and checks if it is safe to flash it. May be he can help us.

Edit- Uploading TWRP directly here in attachments didn't work. I re-uploaded the TWRP file into mega. link is on the top. You can also download directly from TWRP site. That is why I mentioned the direct link too. Please check on top.

Cheers! :good::good::good::good:

[Mate 8 General] HQuinn:
I've upgraded to this version last Saturday.

Everything seems to work just fine on my NXT-L29, except for minor things (like Chrome bookmarks widget keeps freezing and I miss the Forbid Apps from starting automatically in Optimization - can be found elsewhere, but is more uncomfortable)

My question is: my phone was rooted, both Unlocked Bootloader and FRP Unlocked, after successfully installing Oreo. However, after logging in to my Huawei ID (necessary for using Theme Manager), it unrooted itself. Can't get into TWRP anymore, only stock recovery.

Anyone else run into this issue and if so: how to solve the problem? For now, I'm afraid I have to start over from scratch - and possibly run into the same issue after signing in with my Huawei ID.

Also, any prospects on Oreo 8.1?
[Mate 8 General] GEOVANNI MTZ:
friend a question since you installed base oreo in your L29, did rebrand to that Chinese operator? Since I have tried and I always lose the imei, you could support me and tell me how I do it ...
[Mate 8 General] HQuinn:
I didn't lose my IMEI and my OS is still operating on the same region settings.

Here's how I did it:

1) Tap 7 times on Build Number in Settings>About Phone to activate Developers Mode.

2) In Developers Mode enable the OEM to unlock. This is of MAJOR IMPORTANCE!

3) Get the code to unlock your bootloader on the Huawei website (log in with your Huawei ID and choose the Unlock Tab. Remember, this is only possible for a limited time, since Huawei is cancelling unlock support.

4) Fill in the required information and save your Unlock code.

5) Download the HWOTA folder and unpack it on your PC. (I used ADB and a different TWRP version, though).

6) Install/extract ADB on your computer/laptop.

Download the firmware 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.

7) Copy the above archives to the HWOTA folder.

8) Connect your phone to your computer/laptop and copy the HWOTA folder to the root of your phone's SD card. Also add SuperSu#.

9) Unlock your bootloader (guides to do this can easily be found on Google).

10) Install TWRP.

11) Reboot your phone into TWRP, go to SuperSu#, install and reboot into TWRP again

12) Go to update, select the nxt_hwota_update.zip archive in the HWOTA folder and start the installation.

If you have problems getting into TWRP, use another TWRP version.

I hope this will work for you, as it did for me. Good luck!
[Mate 8 General] GEOVANNI MTZ:
from which compilation you installed, I have NXT-L29C432B80.
[Mate 8 General] HQuinn:
Mine was NXT-L29C432B582
[Mate 8 General] GEOVANNI MTZ:
did not you combine the oeminfo? and which ones did you install for AL, TL or CL?
[Mate 8 General] Syyed Tamim:
When final oreo release for our device NXT-L29C185B560?
[Mate 8 General] HQuinn:
I'm not sure what you mean, but this is the procedure I followed.

Before starting Unlock Bootloader of Huawei:

1. Enable the “USB Debugging” in developers mode.

2. Enable OEM unlocking.

3. Write down the IMEI number of your device on the clipboard. To display the IMEI number of your HUAWEI, enter the code *#06# via the call keypad.

4. Product ID: Enter the code * # * # 1357946 # * # * via the dial pad to get the “Product ID” number that matches your model.

Unlock the bootloader of your Huawei:

1. Turn off your device and restart it in Fastboot Mode:

2. Press and hold (Volume down + Power) for at least 10 seconds, or with the ADB mode using the “adb reboot fastboot” command.

3. Once the device reboots into fastboot mode, connect it to your computer using a USB cable then open a command window by pressing “Win + R” and then typing “cmd“, or press Shift + right click in ADB folder.

4. Type “fastboot devices” to verify that your Huawei is well recognized by your PC in fastboot mode. If a message such as “fastboot devices 7e15881f” is displayed, the connection works.

5. Type “fastboot oem unlock 255888545502400” to unlock its bootloader (replace the code 255888545502400 with The 16-digit unlock password you received).

Check if the bootloader has been successfully unlocked:

1. Turn off your device and restart it in Fastboot Mode:

2. Press and hold (Volume down + Power) for at least 10 seconds or with the ADB mode using the “adb reboot fastboot” command.

3. Once the device reboots into fastboot mode, connect it to your computer using a USB cable then open a command window by pressing “Win + R” and then typing “cmd“.

4. Type “fastboot oem get-bootinfo“. The bootloader of your device will be displayed. “Bootloader Lock State: UNLOCKED” indicates that the bootloader of your device has been unlocked.

[Mate 8 General] HQuinn:
Sorry, I'm having problems with my phone and can't access it. trying to solve it the whole day.

My system was running fine, but I decided to alter something and now I'm bricked myself :crying:
[Mate 8 General] HQuinn:
Please help! Bricked my Huawei NXT-L29C432B582 running on Android 8.0

I successfully upgraded my NXT-L29 to Oreo, using the files in this post.

(Only difference: used another TWRP version - twrp-3.1.1-1-next.img - since the one in this post didn’t work).

Though my phone worked, it was unrooted again and I tried to solve it by flashing TWRP again. It didn’t work, so I tried flashing TWRP-3.1.0-EMUI-5.0.img. Here’s where everything went wrong.

I get:

ERROR MODE, Please update system again!"

Error! Func: NO: 11 (recovery image)

Error NO: 2 (load failed!)

Here’s what I still can do:

-	Get into Fastboot – Bootloader and FRP both Unlocked

-	Use ADB

-	Get into eRovery

-	Get into EMUI update

-	Flash TWRP, SYSTEM.img and BOOT.img

What I can’t do:

-	Access my phone – get or one of the two yellow messages or Error Mode or Fastboot

-	Connect to HiSuite

-	Acces Wipe Partion, Factory Settings

-	Boot into TWRP

-	Flash any Recovery (partition: (length) error, or Cannot load Recovery). No matter what command I try. Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img doesn’t work either.

-	Find a RAMDISK.img in the Update.app. Flashing the SYSTEM, CUST and BOOT.img won’t do the trick with rebooting volume up + volume down + power. EMUI update states: Software install failed!

-	Use eRovery. Recovery fails every time after 7%

-	Find the current Build Number, since there’s no way of getting passed the two yellow messages or Error Mode or Fastboot

I’ve been up till 5 in the morning, trying to solve this without success. Think I’ve tried a 100 commands and methods. Is there anyone who has a solution? I’m really desperate by now.
[Mate 8 General] GEOVANNI MTZ:
hello first reopens the bootloader since it will be closed, second install this TWRP

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Amaha0TJwHfiCOHjDnsBuZQnjLpL7xil

later when you enter to recovery install this oeminfo which is a ZIP

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DZxwd7OwuK9xWNWCJMEkO_1wdZ-2wpBY

and finally instasla the update for the 3 buttons, with that I pull my team the first time I was like yours, luck.
[Mate 8 General] HQuinn:
Bootloader is Unlocked, as is FRP (both shown on my screen and in ADB).

Installed the TWRP version, flashed fine like all the others, but still can't boot into TWRP.

Only get the yellow messages, Stock eRecovery or EMUI. Both Stock eRecovery and EMUI update keep failing.

I wish there was a solution! Haven't slept and can't focus on anything else.

Thanks for trying the help me, though :good:
[Mate 8 General] GEOVANNI MTZ:
do what I tell you unlock again bottloader, which appears as if it was unlocked is actually blocked, so it happened to me,.
[Mate 8 General] HQuinn:
When I type the command to unlock bootloader in ADB, it says: bootloader already unlocked. What should I do?
[Mate 8 General] Georgian51:
You tried recovering from the post #124 ?

If you manage to enter TWRP, you can use the HuRupdate method. With this method I managed to access erecovery and return to the nougat. I do not find this link now, but when I have a little time posting it.

Sorry my English but I use google translate

That is the method described above

[Mate 8 General] LuctenFinger:
"OEM unlocking" option turn grey after flash the NXT-AL10 version to my NXT-L29......

therefore i can't unlock bootloader and can't get back to my stock firmware T_T

try a lot of , but none work for me

any advice ?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
have u tried just unlocking BL via fastboot?
[Mate 8 General] LuctenFinger:
of course, and i got "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" and it says i must toggle "oem unlocking" to unlock frp first:crying:

P.S. there is a small line under "oem unlocking" says : "connect to the internet or contact your carrier" but i have no problem on google play connection
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
You mean from L29 to AL10, right? I dont have oem unlock option only on DL. Thought it is by default open on all chinese versions.

Try factory reset and you should get it.
[Mate 8 General] LuctenFinger:
well i just flash OREO version to my L29 following the tutorial of this thread.....

i guess maybe this issue is related to that. obviously the version provide by this thread is AL10

now my phone info shows NXT-L29 with EMUI8.0.0

I tried to reset , but seems useless. it is weird after factory reset no welcome language setting or log in, just boot to desktop directly

P.S. there is no other problem in my phone , just have to install google play store by myself

and can not unlock..........
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
There are three versions in this thread. AL/DL/TL.

Have you tried reset to default option in Developer settings? Yes, Google play store you need to install in all the chinese versions. Right from MM till Oreo for our Mate 8.

Best option is to debrand to Chinese version and then flash and you wont have any issues at all.
[Mate 8 General] LuctenFinger:
nope, it doesn't work.

it will be nice if someone tell me to debrand before:crying:

P.S. search a lot about "connect to the internet or contact your carrier" issue, it might be cause by huawei chinese firmware block google service

still trying to figure out
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Delete the second screenshot. Never expose your IMEI no. It may be misused.
[Mate 8 General] LuctenFinger:
thx for ur remind;)

finally rollback to NXT-L29C432B581 by eRecovery + MT tool DNS

thx for ur help anyway:o

i find the rebrand guide at page 3, why don't add it to the top of thread to prevent noobs like me :p
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
I suggest you don't use page 3 rebranding as people have faced issues with it. That's why in OP I have not mentioned that. Will be difficult if you are not master with playing around. I personally have used a proper debranding method going down from Nougat to MM, debrand with SRK Tool technique (all you will find here with text and video, both) to AL10 (MM), convert to DL00 (MM) if you have a dual SIM model, upgrade all the way to B596 through system updates and then follow the OP. This is the safest and best way where you will have all working apart from Google. You need to download Play store from Huawei App Store and login and then from Play Store, again download all other Google apps. Only Contact Sync, you will have to flash apk, give permissions and it will sync your google contacts.

For Google, you will get a flashable zip too. The link is posted in this forum at a lot of places.
[Mate 8 General] LuctenFinger:
great! i go down to MM and it works！

thx for all of this! :laugh:
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
