You did not. You had updated these apps from previous firmware and they stayed updated in .205. Try unistall and install them again

Hello. I just got my m8 today. I did UL bootloader and rooted the chinese version 156 which came with OTA. The only problem I get is that i cannot sync google contacts. Everything else is working great. Is there any way or do I need to flash the international firmware?
PS If I need to update to a newer version (I saw 165 came out but i didn't get it today) is there a way to flash a newer rom without losing all data through TWRP?
PS2 One other problem i encountered: I tried to install sygic navigator from play store but it forcecloses the entire google play!!! This happens only at this app...
u wont get any ota updates on a modified system @unlocked bootloader & root, so ull have to flash manually every time or revert back to full stock.
concerning google apps and services, ull need to manually add those to the chinese rom (check the B156 rooted thread, the necessary apk files are attached to the OP)
as for flashing updates, it is indeed possible to "dirty flash" a rom over an existent one, but be prepared for potential hiccups / issues / functional resets in that case. best thing is to always to a proper clean flash with your data backed up on a different location (i.e. laptop).
the play store FC is probably due to the app size. check permissions of google play store app and activate permission for storage, that should solve the FC...

Thanx for your reply. I see... As far as the google contacts sync is concerned, I tried creating a GoogleContactsSyncAdapter folder in the system/app folder and copying the apk in there but after the reboot still no sync... Am I doing something wrong? (I did a workaround here as well, i restored the contacts from a csv file but now i don't get cloud backup)
When flashing future updates do we use the TWRP in order to flash the stock roms? I haven't tried that's why I ask. I usually do a full wipe when I flash updates. About the play store i gave it full access, but before that i did a workaround and backed up the prog from another device and restored it to mate8... I will probably see on the next update of the app.

I got it to work... I am not sure what was the reason... I uninstalled it completely and then installed the latest app I saw online and gave permissions and rebooted and the apps are there Thank you all.
The problems fixed. Can someone please answer to the first q about how to flash latest versions since I am rooted-twrp? Are the versions I find in the android development flashable by TWRP? I mean the untouched versions not the custom roms. I am happy with the performance of the stock rom.
some are flashable via twrp, others through the stock huawei erecovery, others again are flashable via fastboot. gotta check the package contents and file types...

Guys how often does contacts sync takes place? I put a contact yesterday at about 18:00 and it doesn't show up at the gmail contacts. Probably due to the fact that if I go to google account it says it synced last yesterday at about 17:15. I know that I can force sync it but I don't want to have to do that every time I add a contact.
I also have the AL10 and I didn't unlock and rooted my phone and didn't receive the B165 rom yet either. My latest rom is still B156.

There is a thread in the forum with the exact procedure. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-root-install-t3301371
Hello everybody.
I recently purchased a Chinese Mate 8.
While the Play Store and Google Services were up and running when I received it, contacts where not syncing.
I download GoogleContactsAppSync and solved that BUT I can't sort them by surname, how am I supposed to do that?
Please help, I can't get my head around that!
Thank you
Same here with Sygic. My phone is a chinese one, model NXT-AL10, no root, bootloader locked.
When Sygic is loaded, playstore is force-closed. Sygic can be loaded via Amazon appstore but the "restore"-function does not work.
Moreover, OsmAnd+ navigation does not work properly. It can be opened but no map is shown.
Anyone uses Sygic and OsmAnd+ with Huawei Mate 8 chinese successfully? Should we contact Huawei?

Go to google play at apps and give all the permissions. I think when I had chinese rom that fixed it...

There is only one app in the google play store that I cannot install. the playstore FC. Granted full permission too. Hmm...
Edit: fixed by granting permission to storage for the Playstore. :S

I can not open the google play books. There is no response after I tapped onto the icon. I tried to clean data, uninstall and reinstall but nothing worked?
Can you try to open on your devices? is that working?
Thank you

Try to download the app's apk (maybe a different version than the latest). I don't know what to expect but if this were my case I would try it.
Other Googla Apps working fine?

This could be really annoying specially at a new phone.
I know this is very uncomfortable (specially if you have done all the settings etc.) but the next steps would be factory reset or flashing the stock Honor 8 rom...
I solved the issue now.
I removed my google account and signed in again. but for the first time I had unmarked the auto sync option(Cause I hate auto-sync It was draining the battery on my nexus badly). Anyway This time I chose auto sync when it prompt before sign in to google account and It worked.
Thanks for the responses again
I have the G955FD version of the S8+. I would like to freeze the update apk with Titanium Backup. Does anyone know the name of the app? Thanks.

Hmm I've been wanting to know this too. Are you rooted?
Yes, my phone is rooted.
you can delete the update apk in /system/priv-app/FotaAgent and reboot or use root essentials app on play store (use it all the time) you can do anything and especially app management with delete, freeze , etc etc of course for rooted
I have renamed the FotaAgent.apk. Hopefully this should be enough to prevent it from auto updating.
Hi guys,
I installed root but I am not able to uninstall some apps.
Anyone has the same problem?
Thank you for reply
EDIT: I changed an app and it works.

The only app I could not uninstall with root was the Huawei mobile services app. Were the apps updated? When you have gone to uninstall an app if it has been updated it will sometimes just restore the app to the stock version rather than remove it so maybe try the uninstall again?
