Use USB OTG, it works all the time. It has been like 2 years I didn't connect my phone to computer to transfer files

talking about OTG, I'm currently looking for 1. Do you know which is the best on market?

32GB or 64GB... willingly to pay more for the speed.

Extract the zip and copy contents to a folder named as dload
Switch off phone
Press both volup n voldown plus power button simultaneously. Once you see bootup release only power button. Once you see EMUI logo release both vol buttons
Firmware will be flashed thereafter. You will see 2 reboots

Mine updated from b180 n all data is intact

Uncle Benny, I remember your phone is rooted. By updating using this method, you are losing your root and a manual re-root + restore has to be done all over again right?

I'm thinking of rooting for adblocking but afraid some apps might not work. Unlocking bootloader only clears up the internal storage right? Also, can you apply manual update if the bootloader is unlocked?
*
You still can update manually with the full update file but you will lose root capability. to re-root, TWRP will need to access to internal storage which is encrypted every time update the software.

4) Decrypt your internal storage.
You must decrypt your internal storage so TWRP can see it or if you want to be able to flash a rom. If you're getting an unable to format data in TWRP then you know you need to do this. Boot into TWRP then go to Wipe then Advanced Wipe then Format Data and type in yes. This will wipe and decrypt your internal storage. BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE before you do this if you have anything important on it. (Pics are at the bottom of this post) Then either flash one of my roms or decrypted boot.img to keep the internal storage decrypted. If you boot with the stock boot.img installed it will encrypt your internal storage again and you'll have to repeat the process.


a lil troublesome unless you flash with the following boot img

After update from B180 -> B320(+B320), my internal storage is encrypted and to decrypt, I have to wipe my internal storage which I refuse to.

Now I'm left hanging half way... I have TWRP... but i'm not rooted... You can't even flash super-su in because TWRP couldn't read internal storage.

Hi guys

I'm from the next door thread P9. Sadly for me, the P9 does not come with a quick charger like your Mate 8 and the bigger P9 Plus

Locally nobody sells the Huawei Quick Charger. So I'm doing a bulk from panda land if anybody is interested.

RM80 for the original quick charger and original type C cable. Order is closing today, items can be collected next Monday.

Drop me a PM if any of you guys want. I'm doing this ONCE only because I'm getting it for myself. Not a business or long term thing.

I'm interested in charger as Mate8 doesn't use Type-C USB. PM me if you can do bulk for charger only.

TQ
thankyou
