Hello Everyone,
a friend brought me a Mate 8 from China and I want to switch from the AL10 version to an international one to get rid of the chinese base and to reintroduce google play and other apps to the phone. I simply dont speak chinese, you know?
The details:
Found Phone : HUAWEI NXT-AL10
Firmware : NXT-C00B197
I managed to unlock bootloader, get a twrp on in and to install SuperUser. The last two was difficult and I used the SRK tool from sonboons.
My first issue - I never could tick the function "unlock OEM" or so, because it is simply not shown in the "Developer Options". Is it ok to ignore that?
My second issue - Which Roms should I load onto my SDCard before wiping and installing them? When I look through the forums it always says something like "Before you flash this, go flash Version B1xx and then B3xx. Which Roms exactly need I flash in order to get from my B197 to a stock rom with google apps or a customized rom where I have google apps, minor optimazations and no bloatware?
If you have suggestions, you have my unlimited gratitude

You can find all the official stock firmware here: Huawei Mate 8 Stock Firmware official thread
With regard to the bootloader, if you managed to install TWRP then your bootloader is already unlocked.

Thanks, the first link looked promising until I got to step 6 where the files of the oeminfo and custom.bin (C432) need to be downloaded - no longer available
Please help! I'll keep looking in the meantime...
Here is it for C432

Hello,
I purchased my mate 9 early January 2017. And a week after that I got the unlock code and rooted it. However I do not use any custom roms or any root utilities. I just want to get the regular updates and lock and unroot the phone as if I bought it the very first day.
I made a search and could not figure out, if someone could direct me to a message or a link I would be very grateful.
Thanks.
I want to get the original oreo update when it is released.

In your case the best way is to force update via Firmware Finder (In-App Proxy option). Choose same number (FullOTA) as you have and simply flash. Factory Reset is recommended.
Thanks a lot Strogino. May I ask how to force update through FF? What is FF?
go to erecovery, download and make update, you will go back to bl locked with official.

FF is Huawei Firmware Finder. It is database with links to official ROMs (they are on HiCloud physically) and tool that can force any ROM to flash via system update function.

I've been browsing that ta-1054 topic for the last couple of days. Let me confirm if I have this right. You were also having the Chinese version ta-1054 stuck with 7.1.1 November 6, 2017 security patch. You managed to flash it with the original ROM version 7.1.2 and you began receiving OTA updates afterwards? If so, please send a link with the ROM version you used for your ta-1054. There is one thing I notice on my phone. I managed to switch on the OEM bootloader trough the developer options in an instant, and I am reading that the other guys are not having access to this option.
Hi,
No progress until now.
I want to flash an original ROM for Android 8 but first I need to unlock bootloader where a key is necessary but I don't know how to get it. I can't find a concrete advice how to solve this problem. I don't know if this device will get any upgrade in the future. Sad.
You need to get you're bootloader unlocked by hikari calyx first,talk to him on twitter he's fine to do it

Budy i have ta-1021, cant say if it works or not but as it was confirmed by the build number that one of the member had with 064D, so it was confirmed that its for ta-1054
This firmware is only available till now, rest is your choice
I habe the file and i try to unlock bootloadet and flash it. I will report success or failure after procedure completion.
When i try to flash my ta-1054 with OST I get next error:
The Update process falied!
Error Code: 0xc6da
Error: Download fails,
Error = SE_ERR_ADB_CMD_GET_FAIL_RESULT (0xC6DA)
I understood that I must unlock bootloader to solve the error. I am right ?
Can you give me link to steps for unlocking bootloader?
Tnx

As one of the guys just said, we are getting the following error code. I tried flashing my phone twice, once with internet connection on, and again without. Funny thing is that the OST tool as it name clearly states is asking for an internet connection. It did this twice during the flashing process and both times it ended with the same error code.
The firmware works, but as I keep saying it won't work if you haven't had your bootloader unlocked ,it will give you the error when you try to flash it ,
And how we can unlock bootloader ?
Hello,
this is the very first time here at XDA Developers Forum that I do not find clear information about rooting a smartphone. I am talking about this Nokia 3 updated with OREO 8.0. Only a lot of confusion reading your posts, sirs. Nobody that is telling if rooting this model is possibile or not. So... can anyone says if it is possibile and how to do that, in a clear and simple manner?
Thanks and regards!

Hello,
thanks for your reply. I already read this thread.
So since I am on OREO, it seems I have firstly to downgrade to Nougat. Can someone please tell me how to do that, posting links to the official 7.0 rom, the software and a short guide? Somewhere I read you have to use OST, somewhere else SP Flash Tool...
Thanks in advance and regards

Hello again...
I am trying to downgrade my Nokia 3 8.0 to Nougat, in order to unlock the bootloader.
I have searched a lot for an official 7.0 rom... nothing official... I tryed to follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3/development/nokia-3-official-firmware-india-uae-t3674320
Managed to install and get a working copy of OST. Connected and start flashing the rom NE1-147I-ind-0-00WW-B02.nb0 (the one I thought it was the earlier one, since nobody wrote "7, 8, or another number" in the file name). OST got stuck at "Reflash service bootloader..."
Can anyone please write a clear guide on how to proceed to root a Nokia 3 OREO that was never ever unlocked before (i mean with bootload never unlocked)? I am going crazy, really...

flash UAE version of nb0 if IND doesn't flash, that's Android 7.0 May 2017 Security Patch, unlock and lock bootloader there and apply OTA updates from notification up to latest update. Then follow guide.

which ost la version you have?
I finally managed to downgrade to Nougat 7.0.
Now, in order to get root, do I have to unlock bootloader first? Can I obtain the code only via a request to the_laser (that didn't answer me) or can I use an online tool ?

Hi,
can u tell me the method in which you downgraded Nokia 3 from 8.0 to 7, also were u able to unlock the boot loader and root the device. Waiting for your reply as one of my friend also wanna do the same.
Hi everyone, after some close calls in the recent past which included bricking my phone during an update, I am quite hesitant to do any updates. However, I have a message saying that there is an update ready on my us mate 9 my current firmware version is MHA-L29 8.0.0.367(C567) and the new version is MHA-L29 8.0.0.374(C567) . I tried to do the update using the OTA app but it ends up booting in TWRP. My question is, is there a version of this firmware that can be installed using TWRP? I also do not want to lose my unlocked bootloader in the process. Please see the picture attached. I looked at some of the similar threads but cannot find a satisfactory answer.
Thanks
