actually the official firmware can flash in TWRP, just copy the update.zip to sd card, boot into TWRP then install update.zip, after update you will lose TWRP and root so you need to flash TWRP and root again....

one annoying thing is after flashing official firmware the device will encrypt again so the TWRP won't see the internal stoarage, you need to format data and flash the decrypted boot.img....

Too difficult to me.. I'll just wait.

if u wish to use official firmwre update then dont mod the system.
even if it can be flash but u will facing some weird problem

I tried before but failed. Will try again next time

Updated my msian set to latest b180



How to update ?
Download the update.zip n extract all its contents
Create a folder dload in either internal memory or ext sdcard
Copy the extracted contents into the dload folder
Switch off phone
Press both volup, vol down n power button simultaneously
When phone starts to boot , release only power button
Once you see emui logo than only release the vol buttons
Firmware will be updated than
You could see twice reboot before phone is fully started
The update process takes about 1+ min only
All data remain intact

uncle benny.. any result with the QC aukey 2.0 charger?

all the post in xda mate 8 thread said we need the stock recovery to flash the official firmware but i remember i read somewhere it can flash with twrp so i tried and flash it successfully.

Sorry didn't really do a full charge but I estimate from 5% to full is under 3 hours , probably around 2.75 hours

Im not literate in this, just daily user. Anyway thanks. As per Benny step by step explaination below it seems easy.

The update zip is 1.43gb
After extract you should get 2.63gb
Any lower means your download is incomplete even though you can successfully extract it

Should i do this on my 3GB? I want to switch to this from my faithful note 2.

This is only for the 4GB model ( NXT-L29C636 ) . Do it at your own risk for the 3GB. Normally if incompatible firmware you will get a failed install right at beginning. Your phone will usually be unaffected but than again, it is a risk to try
It is safe if your 3GB model is same model number as the 4GB
