ROM for the P8?! is it possible??? - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hello Everybody,
I am an owner of Huawei P8 and have some experience on root and flash . Now I asked but firmly the garkein Custom Rom there for Huawei . What do you think will be this as it may do in the near future a little ? Otherwise I probably made ​​the wrong decision .
What I find very impressive is that there are several custom ROM for my Xixoon , and that was a really cheap China phone .
Best Regards from Germany

Hi, I like the overall speed of this ROM. Thanks.
I only have an annoying problem: when I clock the Home button to wake up the de vice it takes sometimes about 10 seconds. Randomly. If I click it twice it wakes up immediatly.
Anyone else has this?

I also look for a custom rom, something like CM12 or other thats close to "stock" Android.

Help needed P8 bricked following OTA update
Firstly sorry to post in this thread but I don't appear to be allowed to start a new one. I need help, I took an OTA update this morning on my GRA-L09, it was about 108mb and I think it was to update to B161 but I might be wrong on that. Update downloaded OK and appeared to install OK as well but on reboot its stuck on the Huawei logo and no matter how long I leave it wont go any further. I can get into recovery (stock) and factory reset but this doesn't seem to function properly, it starts to countdown the %age completed but when it gets to about 10% it jumps to complete and invites a reboot but that just takes me to the logo and no further. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted but I didn't think that would be a barrier to accepting an OTA. HiSuite doesnt recognise that the device is connected and I'm stumped. Can anyone help me out of this mess?

Try this one

Thanks for the reply but I'm afraid I can't make head nor tail of that.

What you can try is : get into bootloader mode, or recovery. Try to do adb reboot fastboot, and flash TWRP, do factory reset from that. If that doesnt work, you can get a friend who has P8 to backup via TWRP and restore to your device?
I can look into the exact commands in about 10 hours
Main focus : try to get into Fastboot mode, and flash twrp (if you know how to)

Can you screen it, and upload it? Have you tried to install an update? Or factory reset?

Since its german instructions, I need to backup my rom, Factory reset, copy the file to sdcard, then flash from sdcard?
Flashed TWRP and now it isnt booting to system or bootloader -_-
What caused it : I used ADB reboot recovery... What now ._.

If its only reboot to twrp you need to turn off your phone.
If you dont have a update.app in your dload folder please press vol+ and vol - and your power button. Then its reboot into recovery and there you can boot system ..
Its a twrp bug

After almost 2000 posts to your credit and being on XDA since 2012, everyone is probably confused as to why you're asking and why you haven't tried already.
If K1 is not a locked bootloader, like we've now seen with the COJ5, you should be able too.
I've never seen anyone post not being able to flash back to an older modem. Unless it was user error like picking the wrong one, for a different phone.

I'm just too afraid of permanently damaging my phone.
Numbers do not matter, I still learn. Sure, I know more than someone new to the community but that doesnt change the fact that I dont know everything.
The person right above you has problems with his phone now. I'm just trying to prevent that from happening to me too.
Anyway, if I flash the COJ5 bootloader, there is no going back?

Yes don't flash Coj5 to avoid stucking with 5.1.1 roms

Bricked S7 after flashing wrong ROM

**WARNING: I'm a noob when it comes to technical terms, I JUST switched from iOS to Android, so please mind my low level of knowledge**
Okay, so I tried rooting my phone but I think I used the wrong ROM or something. And it keeps giving me this error. PLEASE help!!
My phone is a samsung galaxy s7 edge SM-G935FD (Purchased from the UAE and its unlocked)
The problem was that I tried rooting it using ODIN 3 then it gave me a FULL red screen, like nothing else, just plain red, then it loaded this screen (image below) and when I try getting my phone OUT of download mode, it just goes in it once again (Yes, this is what shows up after I tried rooting my phone now its stuck in download mode with this screen) Please help im really scared!!!
Image: i.imgur.com/AdNpHEJ.jpg (Imgur is a very popular image sharing website so you don't need to worry about viruses and such)
If you can put your S7 to DOWNLOAD MODE, just download stock rom from sammobile and flash it back to stock.

Hope it help!

Thanks, but the UAE version doesn't show up D: Which version do I use?
ALSO: Will I lose my data? If so, it's okay. Im just curious.
Yes you will loose all data. But i think that is not a problem since you dont have a phone right now i was reading that you can flash a g935f firmware too but not sure. .

Use the latest version, you can find download links on this thread.
Look if new software update is possible.
Hi, I suggest you youtube your model and watch a video walk through. I do this every time I get a new phone. Apologies to anyone if I've offended for mentioning youtube!
Its still not working! I need help, please. I do not have a phone and tried taking it to multiple stores but none offered to help me.

Some questions

Hi, i am somewhat new to this, i have a ALE-L23 (i think it is a single SIM cause in my box comes only one imei) which used to have android 5 (emui 3) so i downloaded & installed the C432B565 update so i could update my phone to android 6, everything went fine (did it trough the official huawei app) and generally speaking my phone works normally but now i see in the build number hi6210sft and in the build model BalongC52B311
As i said, everything works fine, the only issue i have at the moment is that my computer can't recognize my phone when i connect it via USB (The battery does charge itself tough, and when i connect my S4 the computer does recognize it, so i know the cable is not the problem here)
Do you think it is somehow related? Should i worry about the build number and model? Is there any way to fix it? preferably without unlocking my bootloader as my warranty is still valid.
Any help will be highly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Download b132 version and flash it, after flashing that.. There must be a folder named vendor which contains update.app (small in size), flash that too.. This will remove the bug..
If successful, you may proceed to download and flash b170, b550 and all the way to b574..

hello, i'm using Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L21. i tried to flash the stock nougat Firmware Which i actually did and it worked flawless! but there was a little problem because there wasn't any Software update option in there, so after that i wanted to downgrade to stock MM. IDK what happened wrong while installing that, my phone got BRICKED. i don't have the Erecovery and twrp either. i cant flash firmware via DLOAD Method. the only thing i have is FASTBOOT mode..

Because we are on XDA and flashing firmware/mods is one of the main purpose of this community?
This is totally a unnecessary reply. If you don't want to help just ignore.
