My mate 8 is death - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Chinese version (AL-10) Mate 8 that was brought from China and an attempt to make it more European i did unlock the bootloader, root and install a rom, all went well untill, he reboots turns off and never more gave no sign of life. Can not turn on or any of the combinations of buttons (vol +, vol- and power) works. Is it possible to give him life again? I apologize for my bad English.Thanks!

does it show any sign of life when u connect it to a charger or a computer via usb?

Unfortunately no.

wow then this must be pretty bad indeed... do u have huawei hisuite installed? if theres no sign of a connected device within the software suite, then it sounds like either a hard brick or damaged hardware..

May I ask what even drove you to install TWRP?
Do you know what it does?
Why on earth would you need Google images??
Do you by any chance think you own a nexus/pixel?

It works. It's worked for many people in this situation. But you need to be able to follow the instructions carefully for eRecovery method and correctly set the DNS on your wifi router.

Double tap to wake up

Does No body yet figure out why Double-Tap to wake up not working on mate 9 and any trick to enable it???
I really wish that there was a solution to enable it
Yes, sell and buy something better. I'll back to Z11. Mate 9 not have any special and user friendly for me.
download from the market
There are several apps who promise to do this. As far as I know it depends on the kernel. Huawei mate 9 kernel does not support it yet. So if you tested a app which has a working workaround please give the link to that app.

as far as I know those apps only works with Amoled displays and I think for mate 9 power consumption would be high
correct me if I'm wrong
Anyone tested this guide on Mate 9? It works on Mate 8 and P9.

Yeah, you get the setting but can't enable it.
I decided to go with Proximity sensors for the time being until someone could find a solution
Also is your mate 9 touchscreen a little bit weak in sensing your fingers too??? Sometimes I have to tap 3 times to do a thing. I'm coming from Galaxy Note 3 and this really began to bother me

Need help with relocking bootloader

So i unlocked my bootloader on my Huawei Honor 8 lite, because i thought that it would be fun. After i unlocked it i installed twrp and magisk. Apparently my google apps have stopped working so i installed open gapps, apparently they didn't work either. So i tried factory reset, format data via twrp, nothing worked. After that i realised i don't even have contact list or even cell app. I tried to relock it with fastboot gave me an error saying not allowed. So here i am wondering if i could get my phone back to stock.
Ps: i'm underaged and still live with my parents and i only had this phone for about two months and there is ALOT of pressure on me right now, to tell them. So basicly i'm in the verge of a panic attack, i know childish to panic about these things.

U could try fixing this by flashing that older fimware but usually downgrading never works right. U'll probably have to take ur phone to a service center and have them fix it right up.

Bricked and not able to do anything

Hala!
This evening I was trying to use the dlad method. At the beginning I flashed the rollback package then I went to flash EMUI 4.1. While I was flashing EMUI 4.1 I forgot to disconnect my device from PC, so it took me to a different screen which is identical to the updating screen. I unplugged the wire and waited for a minute or two but nothing happened, so I forced it to restart again. Then I flashed dload successfully. Unfortunately, my phone got stuck on boot screen. :crying:Whatever I did after that nothing worked, I had vibration on phone, sometimes it also vibrated for twice or thrice at once and it restarted. The computer didn't detect the phone, I was not able to go to bootloader or recovery or reflash the firmware holding the 3 keys. So I waited for the battery and thought maybe I would get some luck but not worse. Whenever I connect it to the official Huawei charger the phone is not detecting it, so I am using a 1A charger now. Well, now it takes some juice from the charger but even if I don't touch my phone it's showing the boot screen. Now if I try to restart or maybe use load or boot to bootloader or recovery, it's showing no charge.
I don't want to contact Support. So help me if you have any idea about it.

Does this phone have glove mode?

For some reason I feel like I saw a button somewhere on the phone settings saying "Glove mode" but I don't find it...
Does the phone has one or am I confused?
Glove mode? Other phones have this, but not Honor 6X by what i can see. Try to check under accessibility, if glove mode isn't there, then there isn't
Don't now if it is the same for all models. But my BLN-L21 (Honor 6x), had that option in emui 4. Now in emui 5, only pocket mode appears.
