I m currently at b180 how to update to b521? I tried to dl it via firimware finder and send it to ota. But after that it stop at failed verification and reboot. Do I need to updates to b211 first? If yes which 1 should I choose? There are 4 diff type there. Thanks

Try to uninstall whatsapp then reinstall if back. Make sure you backup it first. Go to whatsapp setting -> chat -> backup.

If is doesn't work. Try factory reset your phone. Just make sure you backup your data using huawei backup app before proceed.

Don't use huawei backup app to backup/restore whatsapp app because it will have alot of issue.
Try update to B211 first then use FF to b521. Push the one with full ota means bigger size file.

My phone now stuck in emui after updating to b211 I cant reboot wipe data or cache. What can I do to factory reset it?
i tried putting b211 into dload folder and volume up down power but it is not detecting any update. my bootloader is locked.. any other way for me to recovery my phone?

When you update b211 . Did it finished 100%?

To factory reset. Press and hold volume up + power without plugin usb. Release it when you see huawei logo.

I m not sure whether it finished 100% anot tat time I m slping... ya I tried that but ths factory reset failed at 8% everytime even if I clear the cache. I tried the erecovery function to recover using wifi but it also failed to detect any firmware to download.when I boot into fastmode the screen show it is locked so I cant issue any command. Can I get the unlock code if I cant boot up my phone? I cant get all the numbers they need.

This is the image I get when I try wipe. I tried both b211 and b193 in dload but my lhone is not detecting it when I hold up down power

I have just unlocked my bootloader. I have tried to flash it using b211 and 193 but it both failed. Do you still have b180 with you? Or any 1 with b180 can share the file with me? Appreciation it very much.

You must factory reset.

Press and hold volume up + power (without connect usb cable) . Release it when you see huawei logo.

P/S : make sure B193 or B211 successfully installed.

It's normal you can't change or even have themes after that. You need to root your phone then install the default themes. Just one time then the rest of themes(downloaded) will work.

Use this tools

Even if I update to another firmware like nougat? I don feel like rooting my phone at the moment.

Hi. I am facing the same issue. Was your phone still under warranty? Which SC did you bring it to? I brought it to the Berjaya SC and 3 days later they sent me a sms saying need to replace PCBA for 1.4k. I was like wtf. It a software issue and they claiming its a hardware. Called the number they sms me with never pick up, called the office number also no one picked up. Called Huawei Customer Service and filed a report. Waiting for a reply from them.

Mine also like this but I cant send it to the sc as I m not in malaysia. I did the restore myself u can also try to diy if they really insist that you need to pay for the repair. In order to do that u need your bootloader unlocked and I read it somewhere that u also need to enable your developer mode before you brick ur mate 8. If not you can also pay for dc unlocker - pheonix something. I can guide you if u need.

EMUI5 smoother than emui 4.1? How about camera performance? From what I know, the battery drain 50% faster.
As of now, do you think it worth to upgrade?

It is still the same for my phone. 0% drained overnight
