Stuck on android 6 Southeast Asia market 'specseas' build. How to update to 7 UK? - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Having been in contact with Huawei facebook support, they have checked my imei and tell me my Mate 8 is for the Southeast Asia market - no surprise there as I bought it from eBay. So with a Mate 8 from Singapore or thereabout, how do I go about getting a uk rom on it? preferably emui 5 based? If it were a Samsung i'd just flash the normal way through odin, but I don't know with the Mate if region specifics are going to be an issue, or if i might wipe my imei or something horrific.. Is there a tut on updating an NXT-L29 'specseas' unit? I have looked!!
Sites like this http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/08/download-huawei-mate-8-b320-marshmallow-firmware-europe/ say things like 'This update should only be installed on C432 based European Mate 8 handsets'.
I'm currently on NXT-L29C636B193
Any assistance appreciated
Fred

Huawei's facebook team have come back to me saying 'The Mate 8 Build Number should be Mate 8 NXT-L29C432B192 or NXT-L09C432B192 (depends on the exact model number).' This has lead me to http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/10/download-huawei-mate-8-b192-marshmallow-update-europe/#more-9728 where I have downloaded the L29 version and copied the Update.app to my ext card as suggested. Could someone tell me if updating my phone this way is likely to cause me issues? i'm just copying off the entirety of my sd card expecting a full wipe at some point..

After forgetting everything I did yesterday I am now on build NXT-C900B192.
Where the heck do I go now??

currently installing NXT-L29C432B320 via the dload folder..
EDIT: Ok, update done and showing emui 4.1 but build NXT-C900B320. Any suggestions appreciated?
EDIT: Unlocked my bootloader and now copying NXT-L29C432B581 files over to the dload folder.. I'm starting to loose track!

Successful install of NXT-L29C636B560? yesterday then OTA updated to NXT-L29C636B563. Unfortunately the battery life has taken quite a hit, so now going to try NXT-L29C636B585 I guess!
EDIT: Using the firmware finder to download B585
EDIT: B585 installed through the firmware finder app! hopefully i wont get through the battery so quickly now!

[Q] MT7-TL10 Europe Version - Reset to Stock

[email protected]
I get a new Mate 7 some days before and after a root process i'm trying now to reset the Device to the stock State and i'm little bit confused about all the Firmwares which are available for a download.
My Mate 7 is a MT7-TL10 Version with a preinstalled Firmware- Version MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B120SP04. I'm searching on the Huawai official Site under Region Switzerland for my ROM Version and i found and download it, but after extracting the ZIP File, i found a Word Document named MT7-L09 instead of MT7-TL10. So i'm not able to flash it, i mean i didn't try it because it's not the same Model and i wan't brick it. After reading three different Forums about Firmaware and flashing the Mate 7, i download the Global ROM MT7-TL10V100R001C00B119SP03. I was able to flash it and after a completed Factory Reset in the Stock- Recovery with Wipe Data/System & Wipe Cache it looks like SuperSU it's gone, BUT!!
I get some new Stuff on my Phone like Opera Browser and Payment UICC, and i'm not able to get OTAs. If i search for it on the Phone i allways get the same Message, there aren't Updates available. I thought if i flash MT7-TL10V100R001C00B119SP03 i would be able to get to MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B120SP04 by OTAs but it looks i was wrong.
Can somebody explain to me what to do to get the Fimware Version on the Phone where it was delivered with it? Please..
Many thanks!
[email protected]
I solved my Problem with Restore to Stock.
And this is how i do it:
After i wasn't able to download the ROM Version MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B120SP04 from Huawai Global Site when i choose Switzerland as my Conutry even though a download was available, but after unziping the File you get instead MT7-TL10 a MT7-TL09 ROM, i choose Italy as my Country and i get the right ROM.
I unzipped the ROM and copied it to the local Store of the Phone, then used the EMUI Updatetool and choose a local Store update. The Phone does a restart and boot up after the Update was done. To remove Opera and other Stuff from MT7-TL10V100R001C00B119SP03 i do a Factory reset. After the Phone boot up again, it was the original State like it was delivered the first Time. After check for OTAs i received a new Update and was able to install it successfull, so im now on MT7-TL10V100R001C00B125SP02.
Maybe it helps someone.
Thanks again!
Hey bud, so what's is the major and minor improvement of this latest firmware compared to the older one do you think?
Does your Huawei MT7-TL10 have dual SIMs?
yes, the gold version.

You couldn't solve the problem ? I tried to flash some other lollipop versions but it didn't succeed. I think the only option remaining is to wait for a rollback for TL09. What do you think ?

Yes. I tried to re-download the Marshmallow update twice to make sure I was not flashing a corrupted file, and I tried to flash B326 again, but my phone is still stuck in bootloop.

Here's the solution to your problem if you know your way around rooting, unlocking bootloaders,
installing custom recoveries and custom ROM's:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/tried-to-roll-b511-to-b326-fail-try-t3302479
If you don't understand the terms above, I am assuming your Mate7 has never been rooted/unlocked
and is running the official Huawei software/firmware/ROM. In this case, I can only suggest that you install
the official marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package for your Mate 7 phone model (TL10, L09, etc.),
after which, you can install the official Lollipop firmware for your Mate 7 phone model.
Unfortunately, the official marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package for Mate 7 TL10, L09 (non-China versions)
still does not exist. We have to wait for Huawei to release that package. Only the Chinese version of the
marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package has been released. (Applicable only if your Mate 7 is China version:
TL00, UL00, CL00)
You therefore have to wait for the downgrade package or send your phone to the service center
If not, then maybe you can try installing the official lollipop to Kitkat downgrade package for
Mate 7 TL10, L09 (non-China versions):
Lollipop to Kitkat Downgrade packages: (install in SD card main directory, under dload folder using
'force upgrade' <volume up + volume down + power button>)
TL10: http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=47724&key4=MATE7
L09: http://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=45422&key4=MATE7
IF THE ABOVE IS SUCCESSFUL, then you can install the full official Kitkat software/firmware:
TL10: http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=35105&key4=MATE7
L09: http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=34805&key4=MATE7
IF NOT SUCCESSFUL, then you just have to wait for the release of the official marshmallow to lollipop
downgrade package or send your phone to a service center (assuming the service center personnel
are well versed with Huawei software).

I also have a Mate 7 TL10. My update to marshmallow beta B511 was successful. It's the best firmware I've used for my Mate 7 TL10 even if it is beta software. I having tried the official lollipop firmwares (B329, B326, B324) and official KitKat firmwares (B119SP03, B120SP04, C00B130) but none can quite beat the marshmallow beta.
Maybe your B511 file is corrupted. Try re-downloading it using the download link provided by Carbon Tesla for TL10:
[Go to carbontesla.com/2016/01/download-ascend-mate-7-b511-marshmallow-ota-zip/]
Try reinstalling [force upgrade (volume up + volume down + power button)] the new download.
If not successful, you may need to try the downgrade package I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Hi everyone, just want to share my experience in this problem, it is not with a positive outcome but to save your effort and cut it short, maybe someone can continue from where I stopped and then we reach a solution. Let me tell you first that my phone is Huawei AM7 MTL10 , I was on Lollipop b324 before I tried to upgrade to M B511, I download the file from Carbontelsa site, installed on internal phone Dload directory and updated successfully and the phone restarted , and boom this was the last time I saw my phone working that was 2 weeks ago( now in boot logo loop, non stop till battery drain), since then, I am moving from one Forum to another for people to help me and to tell you the truth everyone is trying, except the Huawei service center or the Huawei global support which are all not up to your knowledge or expertise, they just say we cannot help. Ok sorry for being long but, I wanted to give you the full picture, here are the facts.
First, my phone is locked, bootlader locked and never been rooted.
Second, the phone hardware was perfectly well before the upgrade.
Third, now, in Bootlogo loop as all of your devices.
Fourth, you can only access two options in this disaster problem, either the EMUI ( with the three options either, reboot, factory reset or partition format) the other choice is by connecting it to PC with USB and fastboot mode. So our choices with a locked boot-loader are really limited.
Fifth, you cannot flash any official rom which is a version less than B511 and EMUI 4, phone won't accept! Always accept reflashing the same B511 many times succefully ( and this is a proof that it is not a hardware problem)
Now this is where you start to follow from where I stopped
Forget about unlocking boot loader , you are wasting your time! !
One of two directions to follow,
One: is to download the latest Hisuit version 4.0.0.42and go to fastboot and rescue mode and connect to PC , open Hisuite , press home on the upper left corner and choose recovery down, please download the Chinese version of this Hisuite or else others not working, however everything goes well till the last step then it fails.
Two, we have to wait for the mighty Huawei people to come out with higher version of Marshmallow or a special downgrade software to solve the problem, at least they have to show some respect to their customers who are trying their beta software!
I am a doctor and I wasted a lot of time trying to save my HM7 phone because I did not accept the fact that it cannot be repaired , but now after 2 weeks I just bought the Samsung galaxy note 5 and I'm so happy with it, one last thing, I always say, When you buy something important like a phone or a car, you buy a company not only the device, you buy the time , care and dedication of this company to support you when you are in trouble. Hope this help in a way
Really did not expect many had their Mate 7 phones (TL10, L09) bricked by the B511 marshmallow beta update. I see it here in xda and also in gsmarena Mate 7 opinions. It's sad Huawei is taking so long to release the official international marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package. I guess I'm one of the few who got B511 working for an international Ascend Mate 7 (TL10) phone. I'm actually loving the marshmallow beta (B511) on my phone so much that even when the downgrade package does come up, I'm not going back to official lollipop or official Kitkat. I'll just wait for the final version of Marshmallow (when it's no longer beta).
Here's my story how I updated to Marshmallow B511 without bricking my phone: My TL10 (dual sim) phone originally had KitKat B119SP03. A week after owning the phone, there was an OTA to KitKat B120SP04 and then another OTA to KitKat C00B130. Due to the promise of a better software in Lollipop, and the fact that Huawei was taking so long releasing an OTA for my phone to Lollipop, I tried installing manually (via local update), several Lollipop versions (C900B324, C900B326), downgrading to Kitkat AFTER EVERY Lollipop install using the official 'Lollipop to Kitkat' downgrade package (C900B300).
I did not want to risk a 'dirty' install by flashing one Lollipop version over another Lollipop version. Even though it is possible, it can have unpredictable results since you are not starting with a 'clean slate'. When I heard about marshmallow beta, I was on Lollipop C900B329 because it was also around that time when there was an official OTA from KitKat to Lollipop for my phone. From Lollipop C900B329, I resisted the temptation of installing marshmallow beta B511 directly onto a base firmware of Lollipop C900B329 because I read beforehand B511 marshmallow beta only works with Lollipop C900B326. I also resisted the temptation of a 'dirty install' from one Lollipop version (C900B329) to another Lollipop version (C900B326). I had to downgrade back to KitKat for a clean install, disabled the OTA to C900B329, then manually updated to C900B326, then to B511 marshmallow beta. In between each update (KitKat to Lollipop to Marshmallow), I updated all apps especially google services.
I hope this will help others have a successful marshmallow installation and avoid any more bricked Mate 7 phones because the marshmallow update really is much better than official Lollipop or official Kitkat even if it is still in beta. There are many more additional features and options never before available in Lollipop and Kitkat and it's a smoother and a much more refined software than either of the two.
I'd like to add that my phone is not rooted in any way with no custom recoveries/ROM's installed whatsoever and with the bootloader still locked (factory default). Those with previously rooted phones and/or with custom recoveries and/or unlocked bootloaders may have unpredictable results (including ending up in a bootloop or being bricked).

Thanks for sharing your experience, you have been more careful than me I admitt, my phone also is original factory default never rooted but I guess now , it makes no difference, it is dead in the drawer waiting for Huawei to release a downgrade or the official Marshmallow update.
Till then I am enjoying my new Samsung G note 5.
Those with bricked mate 7 phones:
Can you try and see if this suggestion works?

Guys I have mt7-l09 and its working with marshmallow, yes it drains more battery and some lagging in some areas but this should happen because its a beta and incremental release. For people who got spoil their phone while installing, you should read the requirements very well before downloading this rom. Its clearly mentioned for B326 and for un-rooted phones. so before you install you should install the B326 (you can download using this link: http://m.huawei.com/pkmobile/c... make sure to choose mt7-l09 or mt7-l10 and after installing the B326 install marshmallow beta.
For people who wants to downgrade, yes you can but you have to choose a full release like the B326-B327-B328.
N.B. ONLY Marshmallow BETA rom, Don't unzip the after downloading, its not like the other updates. You should copy the zipped file as is to inside "dload" folder.
Just a tip, some releases are not supporting 4G lte especially when it marked Europe.
For people who keep rebooting, try to connect you phone to pc or take out the memory card and use card reader and access your files and then delete the files from the "dload" folder and then download using your pc any full release rom (b326 or b327 or b328) and extract it and then copy the "UPDATE" file to the dload folder and then turn off the phone and then boot your phone while holding Vol up + Vol down + Power buttons at same time to automatically trigger the update installation and should go smooth.
Hope my comments will help

So in theory this is saying that if I'm on B511 and want to downgrade to Lollipop, I just need to flash a full B326?!

If you have a bricked phone any suggestion to restore it to working condition is worth trying.
I really don't know if the original author (wissam marrash at Carbon tesla website) tried this himself,
but it seems from his original post here (comments section):
http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/01/download-ascend-mate-7-b511-marshmallow-ota-zip/
it is INTENDED ONLY for those who are on bootloop while upgrading to b511.
Here is an excerpt of the original author's (wissam marrash) quote:
"For people who keep rebooting, try to connect you phone to pc or take out the memory card and use card reader and access your files and then delete the files from the "dload" folder and then download using your pc any full release rom (b326 or b327 or b328) and extract it and then copy the "UPDATE" file to the dload folder and then turn off the phone and then boot your phone while holding Vol up + Vol down + Power buttons at same time to automatically trigger the update installation and should go smooth.
Hope my comments will help"
Maybe you can ask the author (wissam marrash) at Carbon tesla website if you have doubts. As for me, my Mate 7 is not one
of those bricked by B511. I had a successful upgrade and have no plans whatsoever to rollback to Lollipop and KitKat which to
me are not quite as good and loaded with features which make me love B511 marshmallow beta.

Cannot update to Android 6

I currently have an Ascend Mate 7 with firmware version B331, and I am in Europe. This morning my phone started downloading the update to B571, it asked for a reboot, started updating and gave an error at 4%, that it cannot unzip the file (or something like that) and that I must redownload. I performed this operation 3 times, with the same result? Is Huawei incapable of providing an update for their own phones? Is there another way to perform the update?
Also, my phone's certification is Serbia, although I bought it from Mediamarkt in Germany.... ?
Ok, so for anyone with the same issue, this solved it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68093722&postcount=4

[TUTORIAL]How to update EVA-L09C636 (Asia-Pacific) model to B361 (EMUI 5)

I had been searching for a way to update my EVA-L09C636 (Asia-Pacific) model to EMUI 5.0. During the previous month I tried to install EVA-L09C636B361 firmware via either dload and Huawei Updater, but such means of direct installation never worked out.
Now the problem is solved, and the solution is quite simple, though a little bit unexpected: using Huawei Updater to install EVA-L19C636B190 before installing EVA-L09's own B361 firmware. I mean, it is interesting that we have to "borrow" the B190 firmware from the Dual SIM L19 model in order to update to EMUI 5.
(I'm not the first person to find the solution. I just found out that in a Taiwanese forum a tutorial is already posted. )
So there are two steps to install B361:
1.
Install EVA-L19C636B190 via Huawei Updater
Use Custom ROM URL
Copy and paste the link to EVA-L19C636B190:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1079/g104/v64578/f1/
Use the HiSuite on PC to finish the installation of B190 (Set its proxy to 127.0.0.1 and the port to 41279)
2.
Repeat the previous process, but this time, replace the link with the one to EVA-L09C636B361:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1256/g104/v73928/f1/
Again, use the HiSuite to finish the installation of B361
Note that the C636B190 version firmware for L19 model does run on L09 without the support of the L09-exclusive NFC. I think there should be a thread discussing this. Anyways, before official update comes out, the two steps above seem to be the only way to install EMUI 5 on the Asia-Pacific EVA-L09C636 version without losing data.
That is interesting, I dont have a C636 but I would assume just doing step 2 without the need to flash a L19B636 would do the trick.

I had been searching for a way to update my EVA-L09C636 (Asia-Pacific) model to EMUI 5.0. During the previous month I tried to install EVA-L09C636B361 firmware via either dload and Huawei Updater, but such means of direct installation never worked out.

I was searching for this for months. I bought my p9 EVA-L09C636 in the US (I'm european) and I never had the chance to update, even at 4.1.1. I went crazy because I tried several times to unlock the bootloader first, installing twrp and flashing updates but with no success. It's unbelievable that I need to fake the version with huawei updater to obtain the updates for my phone. Now I've Nougat, without factory reset, with everything working, from nfc to all stock apps and services. Thank you very much

Well, in that case it keeps failing at 1%. I saw some previous posts talking about this as well.
Need Help
My model is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
I tried to update like this, it's started updating and got an error while updating then phone rebooted with new update,
but there's lot of errors,
Built Number displays as - NRD90M test-keys
Updater missing in settings
Camera missing
Flash Light not working
Clock missing
File Manger missing
and few more default huawei apps missing.
How do I fix it or downgrade to previous version back?
Thanks finally I was able to update my P9 to Nougat using this steps. The only difference is that there is a EVA-L09C636B190 available now so i didnt have to use the version for any other cell, I was afraid to do it. So following this steps i was able to upgrade from 168 to 190 and finally to 361 version.
My Phone is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
Even though my phone is L09 I've flashed L19 by following the steps on this thread -
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/nxt-l09c636b521-official-firmware-guide-t3544729/)
2016.12.29 - EVA-L19C636 - EVA-L19C636B361
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1583/g104/v74666/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...ll/hw/spcseas/update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip
it's still NRD90M test-keys. but i'm cool with it.
Works on AL00 as well?
I was wondering if I can get the most current european rom on my AL00 with that method as well?
Holy cow thank you for this tutorial.
I spent six hours following every tutorial I could find on the web and my P9 staunchly refused to install ANY update from the very next one after the one it came with all the way up to the latest!
After hours and hours of trying this method is the one that worked.
Edit: This firmware is a developer build.
There have been several updates installed since it was released.
After you this firmware it you should immediately install Huawei Firmware Finder from the Play Store and install the latest full OTA.
The developer build changes the device ID of your phone so you have to manually add the model of your phone in Firmware Finder as:
EVA-L19C636
Otherwise Firmware Finder would tell you there are no firmwares available for your model.
If you can't install the latest OTA immediately after installing this firmware, first install the next one available (38 if I recall correctly) then install the latest OTA -- 38 will say it failed to install but it actually installs just fine, then install the latest full OTA.
That will give you all the bug fixes and the security patches from Google.
Also note that this firmware works on both the dual sim and single sim models (it's built for the single sim but my device is dual sim and the sim configuration in settings works).

The build number is normal.
As for the disappearing apps, it sounds like you have faulty flash storage.
That will cause files and apps to randomly disappear.

NXT-L29 no Nougat yet

Hi there
I am still on build NXT - L29C636B193 with June secuirity patch.
I have the dual SIM L29 4gb gold variant. I am in the UK.
Still waiting for Nougat. From reading around it seems that almost everyone has already recieved the official OTA...
I have also seen people manually flashing the OTA but I am worried I may lose my warranty and make certain apps like Android Pay unavailable.
All advice is appreciated
Thanks:laugh:
If you want to have warranty, stay at stock.
There is a major difference between nougat and mm (in look and performance for me). I dont need my warranty because - 1) ive bought it in china , 2) what does warranty cover? if i crash screen - warranty is worthless, if i crash software - i can fix it by myself - so its useless...
I ve swaped soft for european L29C432B320 from DL-00 and i dont care about OTA or some****.
Just flashed, rooted and using as always. For me root is necessary, so warratny is useless anyway.
The only thing is that if something bricks your phone like e.g. melting in pocket (vide SGS Note7 ) there is nothing you can do...
So - for me - just manually flashed nougat and root it and its ok.

So can I do this without losing warranty or rooting?
Because I want things like Android Pay to still be intact.
Thanks

Are you in Europe as well?
Because I want to know if my imported Huawei Mate 8 will receive an official OTA from Huawei...
Thanks
I receive the Ota only to the converted C432.
On original C636 no Ota Updates
Can I load the latest update onto the device so that the system update menu will recognise the update?
Maybe use dload or somrthing?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi there
When I contacted the European chat helper in the Hi care app, they said that my model the NXT - L29 will not get OTA updates while i am not in Southeast Asia?
I don't know if this true as it sounds bizarre, most devices are still updated when not in their home land.
What model number is yours?
Thanks
checksum error
Hi there,
the update appears and it starts to download, but most of the time, I get a checksum error. Only 2 times (out of perhaps 8 downloads) it downloaded properly, so far. The device restarted and got stuck at the "Your device got unlocked and can't be trusted." and "The device is now booting" prompt. I let it rest for more than 3 hours, but nothing happened.
So: none of the categories in the poll apply to me: I seem to get the update, but cannot install it.

Are you also on the L29?
Which country are you in?
Did you root or unlock the bootloader?

I finally figured what was wrong: I had a bad (as in not accepted by the system) update in the dload folder of the sdcard. Thus even after flashing TWRP via adb or the stock firmware upgrade, that was tried and denied, first.
Once I removed that folder, I could successfully install TWRP and the latest CM/Lineage build (alpha-4).
To actually answer your questions: Yes, CH, and yes, bootloader unlocked.

Any link to the files ? Instructions ?
Hi there
On the firmware downloader app, a new update has been launched but it is B330? Emui 4.1?
Take a look below

I had manually uppdated to B521 and tried to update to B563 trough the Firmware Finder without success.
Then I downgraded to B193, tried update to B563 and failed.
Updated to B211 then and did factory reset. After restart I got new firmware showing in system update in settings.
So I´m guessing it´s official OTA update as I didn´t update through Firmware Finder.
