Rooting advice for out-of-touch user - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm liking the Mate 8 as a handset, but the notification issue is wrecking the usage of the phone for me, so i'm looking into rooting it to try & fix it that way.
I've not rooted an Android phone in many years now. Would anyone be kind enough to point me towards which tutorial is the most up-to-date & likely to work with the Mate 8?
My hansdet is NXT-L29 Build NXT-L29C432B152
Many thanks

alternative OS's for the m2 aqua

hello guys,
dont get me wrong im digging the new android, its faster and easier and better looking than the old ones.. the only thing that is terrible is the battery consumption..
so i know you guys have tutorials on rooting my device therefor making it cleaner and that could also mean uninstalling some google stuffs could longer the battery life..
now i just read about other mobile OS's than iOS/Android/Windows.
but it isnt that easy..
i would love to install ubuntu touch or something similar on my device.. i can imagine them being pretty serious about their stuff as it is with PC Software from them. althouugh i cannot find anything on google about compatibilty or how to install on exactly this device.
anyways, help and words would be hardly appreciated..
cheerss
There is FirefoxOs
http://fxpblog.co/firefox/nightly/
PS: Our device is Eagle
hey thanks for your reply, are you using the Firefox OS at the moment or do you have any experience with it?
Do you think the whole handling of my device will improve?
i can easily let go of syncronisation and stuff like that but my main intention is to root and to have a cleaner mobile overall..
cheers greetings

I'm not using FxOs and i never used it, but i can teach u how to install.
Your bootloader is Open?
if it's Closed, can u open it or it's locked?
BL is still closed. i never did a thing on that sony until now...
played around with the samsung galaxy xcover and rooted it while back...
tutorial would be appreciated a lot. i think i once had one but iim not sure if its the right one.
would you recommend FFOS though?
oh and do you suffer with hiiiigh battery loss after the lollipop update on your sony m2 aqua?
(and did u ever try iit underwater.. i dont think this works^^)
cheersthanks for ur help
The best rom is experience z5 for your device. I have this installed an the battery drain is perfect.

I Heard that it's equal to kitkat, but i realy don't know.
If u want to flash it, just unlock bootloader, update it and use the tutorial on fxpblog

sounds interesting. is this getting updated ??? like actively supported or something?

If what is improved then making the dev update. It is important that you stick to the flash's manual and the APN manually enters.

Nougat for Honor 6?

Hi guys!
I used to have a Y635 but I decided to change to this model . I can't believe there is no more rom for this phone that is clearly better and that no one is working on a Nougat rom when it already exist for the Y635.
Is this really true? :crying:
I am working on it but not near completed at all.
I didn't even get it to boot yet, in fact just started a week ago.
Will try to post first public beta by 15th February.
Psst, I'm working on MM right now, not nougat, but if it works moving to nougat shouldnt be hard.
This sounds good! :good:

Pure MM? Rly? How it goes?
CyanogenMod.
I am not completely free on it and I just recently started... To show you how very early i am, I still gotta build the recovery first. (Last time I built it, it wasn't booting.. ) don't know why though, will debug it later and fix it.
(Note that this is my first port so I am still getting the hang of the things)
Will create a thread once I get the ROM itself boot first time
Don't expect that soon though

Check that, they are building aosp MM from Mate 7 aosp mm sources. It's working, but it's buggy.
no likely bro.. honor have abandoned even newer phones than honor 6, like 5x and honor 7.. so , its highly unlikely to happen
very happy to know that custom rom development is happening..
but i heard somewhere that in china, a similar device to honor 6 is running emui5.. who knows? it might come

Not yet tbh, the recovery did work but can't seem to get it boot
I only work in weekends, so that's why it's pretty slow.. so I don't know if I will ever get it to work before losing hope and giving up.
I will try to pm some professionals and get some help from them. And also will try forking the mate 7 ROM and modify it for honor 6, I think will be easier and faster.

Yes.
Without a hitch, once every two weeks, you manage to mess up your phone, then you open a million threads begging for help how to fix it, you leave a million passive-aggressive comments how no one wabts to help, you miraculously manage to revive your phone only to begin the cycle all over again.
I'm all for tinkering, I really am, but how about you try to research before asking questions like this?

Is there demand for the MSMdownloadtool?

Greetings!
Does anyone on XDA actually need/want the download tool for the OnePlus 7? I can acquire it if it is wanted, but I don't really know that a community exists for this phone, so I'm putting out a brief call-for-interest to see if anyone wants this thing before I invest the time in getting it.

I need!
I saw requests here and in other forums for msm tool.
Please share the tool.
I think share the tool will be very useful
It would be very useful definitely!
So it seems that most of the dev attention is with the 7 Pro, right? Regular 7 is a bit neglected in this regard?

Ahh my mistake. Forgot which forum I was on ;]
Publish the tool for nuiestro ONE PLUS 7, with the different versions of ROM's, for both AA and BA.
It would be very helpful. A greeting.

Hi Mate, would be really grateful if you can 'cause I just hard bricked my OP7, I think I might have flashed the wrong version of TWRP.
MSMDownloadTool 4.0.88 from a OnePlus 7 Pro archive seems to communicate over serial port (it says connected) so that gives a bit of hope for my device.
I'm lacking the rom/firmware files for the OnePlus 7 to upload though, so if you can help here it is really really appreciated
Anyone else reading this and can help is of course welcome too.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, this would be really useful! Thanks!
For version oneplus 7 GM 1900 please.
As I wrote in the other thread... The main problem with OP7 is, we don't have MSMTools. That's why there are no custom roms for the OP7. No one wanna risk to brick the device.
Bricked device = no fastboot (probability is very high that bootloader is also locked)
Let's see what happens in future.

Hello, looking for help to give my TF700T new life.

Had this tablet for a lot of years, and I can't afford a new one, so I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of some easy to follow instructions on getting this thing a custom rom. Also what are the most updated ones to use (I'm sure many are not updated anymore, but just looking for something solid). I'm new to the whole rooting and getting custom stuff on things. Thanks in advance for any advice, I appreciate it!

Can this tablet run kitkat? I'm trying to run zinio for mags and such, and I think the minimum reqs are kitkat
Yes it will run KitKat, you will need to have the bootloader unlock, then you can follow the thread here
