Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL 10 Questions.

Hello,
Im a noob and I would like some closure please.
1. This week I got a 2 month old Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL 10 64gb mocca version in excellent condition for £350, is that a good deal ?
2. Is there a way to find out if the phones bootloader is unlocked with out doing the whole procedure ?
3. I would like to unlock and root my m8 and would like the best and most clear way of doing this for this version which is currently running NXT-AL 10C00B168 ?
I have read some threads on here regarding this subject, but Im still kinda wary when push comes to shove.

hey my friend.. first congrats for your beast.. its a very good price.. to find out if your bootloader is locked or not.. kindly reboot your phone in fastboot mode... for that.. turn off your phone ana press the volume up and power button together... when the huawei logo appears.. hold just the volume up button and take your finger from the power button... to root your phone.. there are many thread for this... or flash directly a pre rooted rom from the development section

Thanks for the congrats and info, I tried it and it failed because I was low on battery so I put the charger in and tried it and it posts in to the huawei recovery with the emui logo and gives you the choice to download the latest recovery or reboot or shut down.
Is this whats supposed to happen and what should I do?
Thanks.

Update: I chose the download and recovery option and it started downloading the package from the server and its AL10C00B172 which is a upgrade, which is nice I hope, so is the a normal upgrade or is this an indication that the phone is unlocked/rooted?.

if the phone had an unlocked bootloader u wouldve noticed by now with every boot, it would show u a bright orange warning message saying that your bootloader is unlocked and ur phone thus unsafe to use. if u dont get that message at boot, that means ur bootloader is still locked
B172 on al10 is surely not a bad place to start with!
and btw, thats a very good price, especially if the phone really is in excellent condition, congratz on that great purchase!
enjoy the beast, u wont regret it

Yep your right, I was doing the unlocking procedure last night and it was quite frustrating to tell you the truth, because I ended up paying twice for the dc ukr credits because the first time I did not see the loader no. and closed the program to try again only to realize that I had to buy more credits to get it again which is a rip off, but now its done and im just about to root it.
Thanks for the reply, congratz and info.

I am now having problems installing super su, when I try to install it and I go into select storage I have these choices-
INTERNAL STORAGE (0MB)
MICRO SDCARD (0MB)
CUST (155MB)
USB OTG (0MB)
It only allows me to go into cust and I dont know why the others are empty?
Update: I formated it and now INTERNAL STORAGE is (54456MB) but I still cant flash super su because microsd is not a option.
What am I supposed to do ?

YYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I have finally rooted it after wasting nearly the whole day doing it, and I managed it through fastboot cmds and not through twrp cmds.
Do you know how frustrating this was especially with out any feed back from any one on here on the procedure.

how do i unlock my bootloader on my Huawei mate 8 NXT- AL10C00B350SP01
And is it possible to change my phone apps and os language from chinese to English

bricked my M3 BTV-W09

Hello all, long time lurker here.
I was working with my new M3 and ended up bricked. I unlocked bootloader, installed twrp greatslon 3.0.2-0, did an advanced wipe with all options(don't ask me why because I don't know why other than I had been working on it for a long time and was tired.)
Here is where I am:
have access to twrp greatslon
no adb
no hisuite
no files on internal storage
I have HUAWEI MediaPad M3 8 Firmware BTV-W09 CC100B006 EMUI 4.1 Android 6.0
Thanks in advance for your assistance and replies.
Signed,
Dumbass

I can also enter fastboot/rescue mode from twrp reboot to bootloader.

I also downloaded a rom from greatslon for this device and tried to install to receive this message in attachment.

Have you tried the dload method using an sdcard?

I tried that too. Not exactly sure if it was done correctly. I used the update.app file in the dload folder. I think there was an error because that requires erecovery and that's gone too. If you know definitive instructions I would appreciate a link.
Thanks in advance.

Download and extract in dload folder on a external SD CARD - (BTV-W09 ,C100B006, EMUI4.1+ANDROID 6.0):
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=94471&version=380540&siteCode=de
Turn off tablet.
Press volume up + volume down + power
It should start the update process.
If you had B006 on device, you should flash only this version.

I've used update extractor and pulled the recovery files and flashed them using fastboot before.
That might work for you just to get recovery back.

I can't say thank you enough. About ten minutes and shiny brand new from a paper weight. Now I can play safely.

It's not worth rooting this tablet. Has all you need.
Do an update to 7.0 and you will love it

Not expert here or I would not have bricked it to start with. Just determined.

After reading all these threads I am still stuck and not sure what to do.
My Mediapad M3 is imported from China so no warranty. Will have to fix it myself.
Currently the tablet is stuck at reboot loop, always stuck at the MediaPad logo, and reboot itself after it cannot boot up. The power button and volume buttons combination does not seem to work for me as well, as it never shut down completely. And worse of all, the LED is always flashing in red when charging, seems that it can't charge at all..
What I did was trying to upgrade to Nougat manually through dload folder, found that keyboard and many other things missing, trying to flash it back to Marshmallow, then this happened.
Any way to get out of this?

I'm in the same boat as you. Upgraded to Nougat, then flashed back down to Marshmallow through dload folder. But seems like the tablet can't bootup and hold a charge anymore. Did you bootloader unlock yours? If not, you should be able to bring it back for servicing (although it's in china).

I'm not even sure if the bootloader is locked or unlocked. Does it need to be unlocked to flash other region's rom? I ordered the tablet from China online, but it came with an international ROM (could be HK region). Are you able to fix yours?

Since you can't tell, your bootloader should be locked then. Once unlocked, Huawei shows a very big warning message everytime you power on the tablet. I bought mine from Malaysia, should be an Asian rom (i believe same as HK).
My bootloader was previously unlocked as i root my tablet. It got relocked after i ran the Marshmellow downgrade through dload. But the tablet just never boot up properly. I was able to get into fastboot though, and thought maybe i can unlock the bootloader again and flash each partition manually. But seems like unlocking the bootloader made it worse. Because after the unlock, i was prompted that data will be wiped and device will be restarted. After which, i could never get into the fastboot menu again. If i had kept it without the "bootloader unlocked" message, it should be possible to get it replaced at the service center easily.

For me, it's worth. I rooted mine just to flash MoaAB ad-blocking.

I discovered super brick

Yes folks,
As I said, I discovered SUPER BRICK, TOTAL BRICK, COMPLETE FAILURE or whatever yoy want to name this new brick. It has been like this: I was following the instructions to update oreo in HONOR 8 LITE, at the end I had to write some codes in twrp (advance / terminal ...) so it was starting to do the last update (sd card update.zip) and by accident I touched the screen where it appears: REBOOT, so the phone restarted but the screen is not working when it tries to enter erecovery mode, so here is the list of my problems:
- it does not work: erecovery (so I can not recover the phone)
- fastboot works: when I install something (twrp or firmware, I have tried everyone of them) the phone does not start
- if I try to go to TWRP (after installing an oreo one): the screen seems to break and you can not see anything
Please, my phone is 2 months old, man I need to make it work again, I need it.
Help help help

You should post this in Honor 8 lite forum ...
But whatever, you said that fastboot works if so you can try to use huawei update extractor and flash system,boot,recovery,cust that *should* work

I wrote it down here because it is fully compatible and there are more roms here than the honor 8 lite forum, that´s why, it was not a mistake it is because I am desperate.
I can not install BOOT, I have tried and it does not work, anyways I need help.
Thanks in advance

I finally installed BOOT properly, but the problem is that I have inside the phone OREO SYSTEM and I can not find BOOT in the updates I am downloading, as I said, once BOOT was installed, it did not work because it came form nougat.
Phone is very dead.

This may be a stupid question..
If i understood correctly, you can install Boot from nougat, right?
If so why dont you flash nougat rom again?

I tell you something: I used emui erecovery to get everything back but now it does not work anymore, my phone is dead

There is a way to fix that.. but... Its too complicated and hard to do..
Since your phone is new, you probably dont want to buy new.
This is going to cost you a bit.
First you will need to find honor 8 lite or p8 lite (if you say they are the same)
that is well.. dead, open it take out a memory chip on both phone and place chip from dead phone to yours. If you dont know how to do that take it to the repair shop and they should know how to do that.
As i sad its very hard and it costs, but it works if done properly.
I saved my friends phone like that, idk what he did but phone wasnt visible in adb, fastboot and recovery didnt work just blue screen.
Note:
This needs to be done very carefully or ypur phone will be 100% dead

DC Phoenix worked fine, it's been awesome, I installed the rom and my phone is alive, I wonder: why I couldn't do it with ADB? Why this software is so powerful? And finally, why nobody is making kind of software like this for free? I mean, dc phoenix must be like the software that Huawei technicians use in their lab and samsung has ODIN that is so powerful as well and is free.
Anyway, if anybody has a problem as mine, you have to pay but it has solution. By the way, I went to tech service and they did not do anything because I bought my phone in China and they could not touch more than european phones, but they told me something that made me think that my trouble had a solution: rewrite the rom and that point convinced me that DC Phoenix would work, and so did it. Thank you all for the info.

Same for me, how to fix please. Bricked following this "guide"
https://www.haky86.com/2018/05/12/install-emui-8-0-huawei-p8-lite-2017/
I was on official Emui Nougat, wanted Oreo, forced update with nocheck, everything is broke except fastboot.
When I want to flash his OreoTWRP.img with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk /path/to/img" it work but can't reboot to recovery.
I press Power + Vol+ but it reboot "phone untrusted" with Vol+ for going to eRecovery (usualy it's here you can shutdown the phone) but error mode.
Maybe the OreoTWRP work after my command but can't boot into it. Please help.

Bro my P8lite is also bricked, I accidentally wiped the EMMC then I showed it to a repairer and he somehow took me to fastboot mode, now I can't flash anything because that repairer has partitioned the EMMC and now it is showing 486mb total storage so no ROM is flashing because of size. Can you please give me your USERNAME and PASSWORD of DC Pheonix as you've already bought it. It will solve my issue and it will also save me some money.... I will be very thankful to you....
WAITING FOR A POSITIVE REPLY.

I bought it some time ago and it was a 72 hours license and it expired so I do not have anything from that situation. I will check my computer but I will not probably find anything.

Hello just looking at that pic is enough. That happens cause you installed the wrong firmware. Either get a proper nougat rom for your device and install boot, recovery and system images from fastboot or a oreo version. Either way that screen means its the wrong firmware version or wrong zone. for example you can be trying to install a europe rom in a asian device. hope this helps

MediaPad M3 - Hard bricked or hardly bricked?

A while ago I bought a Mediapad M3. Once I realized the 5GHz band was disabled on the US version, I was hellbent on getting it working. I eventually got it working through a bastardized hybrid of the Chinese (BTV-W09C233) and the US (BTV-W09C128) versions. There were a lot of problems with it (e.g. I couldn't install Gboard, I couldn't do a factory reset without losing latin keyboard, etc). I decided to go back to the stock US version and figuring out the minimum change needed to get the 5GHz band working. The tablet just didn't wanna go back to the US version and I wasn't gonna quit. At some point I ****ed up and I'm pretty sure I've hard bricked it dead. Then again many times I've been sure I've totally bricked a device only to stumble across some obscure way to breathe enough life into it to get fastboot or recovery working. I'm hoping this is one of those cases.
The symptoms:
Device is off. Holding the power button for no amount of time has changed that
I've tried a variety of button combos, none seem to do anything
Is there a special download mode like Qualcomm devices where some basic funcionality exists?

Does it respond in fastboot? If so, you might be able to use DC Unlocker(search please.) I haven't been able to try this on my device yet, and probably not for another month.

There would be something on the screen for fastboot, no?
Looking in my dmesg, I don't see any new devices being registered by Linux so I didn't bother with fastboot.

With mine there is no screen activity. If it's not showing up... You could read the DC Unlocker web site, I think there was a hardware method (shorting of test points) to stir the device.
Good Luck!

Will follow this thread will great interest.
Good luck!

I'm on vacation right now and I hate using the laptop for this sort of thing. I'm flying back in the morning and once I'm over the jetlag, I'll see what I can do with the damn thing.
In the meantime, I'd like to punch someone in Huawei for 1- disabling the 5GHz in the NA model and 2- Putting **** software on such great hardware.

Any progress?
Thanks!

Well, hey @copolii. Took a while to find test point as it hasn't been posted or published anywhere. From there it was still a bit tricky. Had to use BTV-DL09 board software to get fastboot only area in ram through factory mode (edl mode). Then fastboot flash the UPDATE.APP to boot to upgrade mode. Then flashed UPDATE.APP with localization files from upgrade mode. After that had to repair serial number and imei in order to get bootloader code. After all that let it update to nougat & emui 5 and it has 5GHz wifi which surprized me a bit. TWRP needs a little tuning and Magisk is working as it should. All of that was accomplished using SigmaKey dongle. Like I said, a bit tricky and don't believe it could have been fixed any other way. Oh, yeah same device, I bought it.

Thanks @tek3195.
I sold the tablet a month ago. Maybe share the info regarding the test pins so that the next person who stumbles upon this here can give it a shot.

Sorry, I forgot to post this before. So if anyone needs it and I'm sure they will.
Test point for BTV-W09 I would think BTV-DL09 would be the same, both have identical FCCID photos. content://media/external/images/media/28314 . To use test point you must disconnect battery. I would also recommend a little heat at top and bottom of display to remove.
I apologize for no link being posted . I didn't come back and check it , now attached an image hope it works. Don't know where the link went. In the pic there is only one test point as that is all that is used with Kirin devices apparently. The point at end of lime-green line is test point to be grounded with ground pin or any of the heat shields will work. A sharp pair of tweezers works well to make the short and make sure to disconnect battery.

Hi @tek3195
I have the same problem.
do you have board software for mediapad m3 BTV DL09 (.xml version)
can you share with me
One more thing, does the process always cause loss of IMEI and serial number.
if so, can we repair it (imei and serial number) without a dongle (maybe via fastboot or twrp)?
I would really appreciate your help

All I have is .skf format which is for SigmaKey. I have access to paid firmware, I can get .xml format and upload it for you. The only way I know of for xml is IDT which should be packaged with the firmware. What country do you need it for?
Here you should find 2 board software packages with tools and instructions. I've not used IDT before so don't have any insight on it. If you need anything else let me know.

Thank you for replying quickly.
Yes, my plan will be to use idt ver 2.0, because I don't have any dongel :crying:
idt ver 2.0 has a simpler configuration than version 1.0
Actually my devises are btv l0j (mediapa m3 docomo version)
so if you can get the btv l0j version then that would be great.
but if not, then the file that you shared earlier also I think will be enough.

As I have asked before, will this process always cause the loss of IMEI and SN?
if so, can we repair it without a dongle? (via fastboot or twrp maybe)
and once again thank you very much for all your help.

I don't really know as I used sigma's firmware with there software. I have no idea how or what the process are with IDT and the packages I uploaded. Those are straight from easy-firmware, I will look and see if available for l0j.
Added BTV-L0J(2) to MediaFire folder, one 6.0 one 7.0.

No, I do not have.
I don't have enough extra money to buy premium easy-firmware. :crying: :crying: :crying:
I am very grateful to you for sharing the board software that I need.
as soon as possible I will try all the files and I will report the results here immediately.

I want to say thank you very much.
I confirm that the file that you shared is working very well.:good::good::good:
I have managed to revive my tab from dead, no power, no recovery, no fast boot, to be normal again. with
slightly modify to the .xml config, skip to the nvme section to avoid missing imei and sn.
The result is i managed to flash board software without losing IMEI and SN.:victory::victory::victory:
once again I really appreciate and thank you for your help.:angel::angel::angel:

Sorry, I forgot to post this before. So if anyone needs it and I'm sure they will.
Test point for BTV-W09 I would think BTV-DL09 would be the same, both have identical FCCID photos. content://media/external/images/media/28314 . To use test point you must disconnect battery. I would also recommend a little heat at top and bottom of display to remove.
I apologize for no link being posted . I didn't come back and check it , now attached an image hope it works. Don't know where the link went. In the pic there is only one test point as that is all that is used with Kirin devices apparently. The point at end of lime-green line is test point to be grounded with ground pin or any of the heat shields will work. A sharp pair of tweezers works well to make the short and make sure to disconnect battery.

Hi, I got hard bricked just like you, have you fixed it? Could you please guide me to fix this error? Thank you very much !!!

Hi @tek3195
I have the same problem.
do you have board software for mediapad m3 BTV DL09 (.xml version)
can you share with me
One more thing, does the process always cause loss of IMEI and serial number.
if so, can we repair it (imei and serial number) without a dongle (maybe via fastboot or twrp)?
I would really appreciate your help

For anyone having issues changing from CN to NA ROM on the 5S

There's a little story i needed to rant about before i wrote this guide so read if you'd like if not tldr; will be down below
NO ROOT OR BOOTLOADER OR ANY FORM OF CODING NEEDED FOR THIS FIX, THIS METHOD WE WILL BE USING OTG AND THE RENAMED STOCK NA 8.07 ROM FOR THE 5S GOING FROM CN 6.23
Requirements​ - NA 8.07 rom from the official redmagic website
- A Computer/laptop
- USB stick (mine was usb2.0)
- OTG adapter (if you have any old samsung phone boxes look in them there's usually one)
Hey guys! First of all im terrible with technology, i havent touched a computer in over 15 years before 4 days ago.. So i bought this phone 4 days ago as i needed a decent phone with a snapdragon soc (samsung uses trash exynos in Australia). The shop i bought it from didnt tell me it was the cn version and thought he would just have NA version as thats what it says australians will recieve on the official site.
So i did some research and found out we can easily change roms using the local update thingy so i dl'ed the 8.07 NA rom and it would load to 25% then freeze, reset and nothing would happen.
So i tried the OTG method, same thing again, 25% then crash and reset. So at this point im starting to get pissed, i downloaded the latest 5G NA rom and tried to otg method that rom to the phone. It loaded to 80%, crashed and hard bricked my phone to the point of where it was corrupt, couldnt get into recovery and couldnt factory wipe,
I was however, happy to see the boot logo had changed to english though so i didnt give up, 3 days, 3 f##ing days i was trying to research flash guides, recovery guides, root guides, downloaded about 100 usb drivers because i wasnt updating to the right drivers at the right times when plugging in and unplugging my phone, i tried unbrick tools and when trying to fastboot it was saying the password was incorrect (fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J is what worked for me to unlock fastboot. all the guides i read said the fastboot cmd was
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA NX659J) nothing worked. Luckily i had gone into dev options after reading a guide and unlocked oem unlocking and usb debugging before the phone bricked as this is what helped unbrick my phone. I had to individually flash each .img file from the CN rom back to the phone.
I didnt know how to code or do cmd thingys before i bought this phone. Now i could f## join anonymous im that good LOL but yeah i managed to unbrick, wipe, and flash the NA 8.07 rom to my CN 5S using OTG. You wanna know what i did to make it work? I can tell you right now it didnt need a f##ing 4 day crash course on hacking and coding.
TLDR; bought CN rom 5S brand new from shotty phone shop, i couldnt get the NA rom to load past 25% on the local update so i went through hell and back.
I highly highly recommend unlocking developer options in your phone, turn on oem unlocking and usb debugging before doing any updates or experiments with this phone, just incase anything goes wrong with any updates
Solution:
- Always back up your phone before anything you will need to do a factory wipe after doing this
- Change the name of the NA 8.07
NX659J-update.zip folder you downloaded to "update"
- Copy that update.zip folder to a freshly formatted fat32 USB stick, do not unzip and copy. It has to be the zipped folder then safely eject the usb from the PC
- Hold the Volume up button and the power button until the screen turns on, once the screen turns on release the power button and you should reach a blue screen with 2 language selection buttons, use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to interact.
- After choosing language you will see "choose a package" and some other buttons, this is recovery mode.
- select "choose a package" and plug in your OTG adaptor and USB stick
- Select OTG method
- Find your "update.zip" folder it should be right there
- Start update and keep an eye on the phone incase any errors pop up it should take about 5 minutes to update and it will stop at certain points (stopped at 80% for a good 30 seconds for me) for bigger files so dont stress if the numbers aren't moving. I was tapping the screen so fast with anxiety at 80% hahah
- After the update go back to recovery and wipe data/cache partition and reboot
- Enjoy your goog apps

unlocking dev options and using the oem unlock option is not necessary for our device.
Unlocking the bootloader also corrupts the fingerprint sensor data, making fingerprint break.
when you need to flash a rom and the normal method does not work, flashing though recovery normally works.
as you have a CN variant of the phone. note you cannot use the NFC function. as there is no NFC chip on CN variant devices.

Oh i didn't know that! I was unable to flash the na rom through recovery until i renamed the zip folder lol but i wish i knew i had to rename it before i bricked my phone.
Im not sure how to relock my bootloader and fix the fingerprint sensor, i read somewhere theres a number to dial #xxx# for the calibration but i cant find it

fastboot flashing lock or fastboot oem lock I think are the commands to relock your bootloader. which after a wipe should restore your fingerprint.
you can then follow my TWRP and ROOT guide on XDA here for the 5S and not have flashing problems again.

Thanks for the help! Im wondering if i should just return this phone and just buy the na version from the website, i find it a little annoying that the shop didnt mention it was the cn version, i dont know what else im missing apart from NFC aswel so im stressing

all 3 regions had the exact same hardware.
with the exception of the NFC chip on the CN units.
if you can live without NFC the phone should be the same and function correctly with any of the roms once you're able to flash them.
its just that there will be an NFC option in the rom, it just wont activate, since you dont have the actual hardware.
if you were to give the phone back look into buying it from redmagic directly. as Nubia's Warranty only covers direct sales, it does not cover any 3rd party website this includes places like Nubia store on Aliexpress. you won't get official warranty from there.
only the redmagi.gg or nubia homepage which normally directs you to redmagic.gg will support official warranty so this is something to consider.
but also, as you've unlocked the bootloader, flashed things and what not. if the seller knows or finds this out they can refuse a refund as you've modified the system.
good luck either way.
