Your download is incomplete
Such stuffs happened often for HW firmware. Had experienced it myself before on ex Mate7 n X1

Please advise your complete extracted file size
What is the size of the update.app itself
This will be a good guide for those to assess whether they had a good complete download

Yes

Just download the b103 firmware n flash it as you did for b170

Of course definitely !

I always charge my phone while using any GPS app as is a great battery drainer

Strange ! I even had it on my China set

Plenty of choices in Ebay

I have absolutely no idea. Anyway besides Spigen I had never like UAG or Otterbox cases
And Spigen available for Mate 8

I have both phones
Overall S7E strengths - better camera only. Display is higher quality but I do not quite like Amoled colors - I find them to be too bright and over saturated. The Mate even though at only 1080p doesn't lose out much to the naked eye. Gamers will prefer the S7e due to its more powerful chipset

Other features Mate8 can match it

The Mate8 camera I deemed is decently good enough. It isn't in the class of my other LG V10 n S7E. For camera enthusiasts get these 2 phones instead

ONLY the 4GB/64gb version comes with the flipcase while the 3GB version comes with a Backcase

LG V10 is renown for poor battery life. Mate8 easily more than double it. V10 however had advantage of replaceable battery

No issue at all with me...most change battery only once a day. Is better n more convenient than carrying a powerbank along

Msian set this time very good n had their first update within 2 weeks after launch
HM software is very stable ...is either you love or hate its UI. This you can easily replace with 3rd party launcher
New users might need to get used to its strict implementation of permission grants but is only a one time affair. Notifications is flexible too with many notions in its detailed settings - need to explore it yourself
This Mate8 is now my second favorite phablet after LG V10. In third place is S7e
Get the 4gb ram version as is more future proof n the extra 1gb ram does help greatly in multi tasking
Mine is original China set

Huawei branding is not well received as many thinks is some cheap China ripoff. They are now world third largest smartphone manufacturer after Apple n Samsung
One doesn't reach such a status making mediocre products
Infact amongst all phones I had used none can match HW wireless/lte strengths. This Mate8 is only phone that carries widest range of GSM /LTE bands - a really world phone
I was sceptical too buying my first Mate 6.1 but was impressed within a day with it. Thereafter I had move on to X1, Mate7, p8max n now Mate8
To sceptics I always said try it first before discounting it as a worser phone vs Sony, HTC, Samsung, LG

Since Mate 7, HW M'sia service center will offer a free one to one replacement for problematic phones. They will not repair it. If any of the service center tell you otherwise, just ask them to refer to the HQ for instructions. Several Mate7 users had got their phone replaced and most in same day
I am not sure whether this applies to other models but Mate S is included too

Why u guys not happy with the pre installed SP? I find it quite good though honestly I hate to use any SP on the phone.

Naked is still the best ....had never ever like those glass type SP too
