[I9000B] Brazil Galaxy S, Thread/Discussion/Roms (Updated: ICS for I9000B)

READ THIS POST BEFORE ASK! USE ENGLISH ONLY PLEASE!
General Note: There are now four official models of the Samsung Galaxy S outside the US: the GT-I9000 (International), GT-I9000M (Canada), GT-I9000B (Brazil), GT-I9000T (Mexico). All information in this FAQ is based on the GT-I9000 International version. Most of them also apply to the other models. The I9000M and I9000T are virtually identical to the I9000 and are mostly compatible with I9000 software. The I9000B has an added digital television receiver and is generally not as compatible. Please check carefully before starting to mess with the firmware on your device, check for possible compatibility issues beforehand and ALWAYS make sure you have three button recovery
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR I9000B:Ok guys, now is possible find more than one modded kerner for I9000B, but you must be careful, because many of them have a lot of bugs or are't fully tested. Almost all of new moded kernel doesn't support Digital TV so if it is useful for you, don't try, until the official firmware updates are released.​

How to: Flashing your SGS
[VIDEO] Using Odin
[APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.3 (One Click Rooting-Unrooting)
How to [/COLOR]unlock/unfreeze all SGS Models

How-to Root Gingerbread 2.3.3 Stock using FuguRoot
1: Flash the stock rom
2: Download the zImage moded for Odin
3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (if you let it conected to usb will loop on charging)
5. Disconnect and enter download mode
6: Reflash the ONLY original kernel (Download here)
7. DONE!
No 3G/GPRS/EDGE after flashing?
Is very common that after flashing a new firmware or kernel your device isn't conecting to 3G. WHY? Because many of the firmwares or kernels wipe all the user data includig de APN, wich contains the neccesary info to connect your device to 3G networks. But don't worry, this is not the end of the world. You could Add your APN confirgation just following this steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Wireless and network
3. Then go to Mobile networks
4. You will find the Acces Point Names or APN were should be the info to connect to 3G, click here
5. After that, use the "phisical" button of menu
6. Choose New APN
7. Set the configurarion of your carrier/mobile network (This info could be found at carrier/mobile network web page or just simply googling)
8. Done! you have your SGS configurated
To prevent loose the APN data, exists many apps wich could help. One of them is APN Backup & Restore a simple FREE App to backup and restore APNs. Very usefull.
The are some devices that's not necessary to back up data or add the data again, just conecting to 3G will download and apply de data by itselfs.
Problem with SuperOneClick v1.5.5 ?
If you get stucked at any moment of the process, waiting days for getting mount path?
Here is a solution.
1. Turn on usb debugging
2. Turn off phone & plug into usb
3. Start SuperOneClick
4. When it says waiting for device, turn phone on and let SOC finish the job.
5. Enjoy root!

Sync Error
Hello, thanks for creating this topic. We were really needed it!
I bought an SGS in Brazil, operator Vivo, Android 2.1 (Eclair) and upgraded to the 2.2 Froyo (Live - ZVV) using Odin (no pit). Since then, I'm having problems with Orkut sync.
When orkut account is selected, "Feeds and Updates" widget always displays the error: "Service Unavailable".
Under Settings / Accounts and synchronization features: Synchronization error "Synchronization is currently having problems. They will return soon" and does not synchronize the contacts on orkut.
This has been more than a month, since when I have done several roms updates, using odin (including re-partition) and Kies.
The only thing that worked a while, was to create a new Orkut account (in fact, google account) but after a factory reset, stopped again.
Other SNSAccounts work well, I have no problems with Twitter to Facebook, only Orkut.
I posted here because I think Orkut is a SNSAccount available only in Brazil.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

What about this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782686
Lots of related information there

try using Kies Registry patcher and choose ZTO for Vivo then update over Kies. I use to update my phone, mine was chilean Claro with Eclair. This is the official version of the operator and comes with Orkut

Is there any chance to have a ROM for Claro Mobile users which I suppose is ZTA? I´ve tried KIES and Kies Registry Patcher but got my SGS frozen if I choose ZVV and got "not available update" when using ZTA.
Thanks
Edited: I've finally made it. Using KIES and patch along ZVV spoof option. Now Froyo 2.2.

Personally I recommend I9000BVJJPD fw for updates, it is unbranded and the last version know, the firmwares from operators are too old (september, october, november).
Then root the phone and download "Uninstaller for root" from market, for delete some useless apps like "Braintest" or "Asphalt 5"

2.2 JPD
Yes, I am using this too. Works pretty well, and better than JPA. I had some wifi issues with JPA, magically solved in JPD.
There is a JPY which is a work-in-progress. So, JPD is the latest and greatest.

Here is a thread I created to post everything specific related to CM and i9000B. For now, CM6 development has ended, and CM7 (Gingerbread) for i9000 is under development. Hopefully, there will be a ROM for i9000B or at least an adaptation.

source, link or something¡

For brazilian users, yo can enter to androidz.com.br where a user (ffosilva) modified the kernell, so any ROM can work with the i9000b (the only thing that doesn´t work is the TV), for argentinian users (or from peru and chile) go to grupoandroid.com.
For example, I have my i9000b with a 2.2.1 JS3 (the last one) ROM "cooked" by me using the DOCs ROM Kitchen that is in development section

3G
Guys, i update mine with froyo and lost 3G, i have TIM and CLARO chips, neither of them get 3G connections... just Gprs and Edge..
Also the signal got a little weird, for instance CLARO signal at my house gets weak and shows the message "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY", if i use the same chip in another phone, gets FULL signal...
If anyone has the same problem or solution please contribute!
Thanks
P.s.: Sometimes in CLARO I get FULL signal and the emergency calls only message disappears, bur when I try to make a call, it says "DATA NETWORK UNAVAILABLE"

Help from changing VIVO froyo to unbranded froyo
I'm from Perú, and last month I upgraded to brazilian froyo (I9000B_JPA_JP3_JPA_JPA_VJ_ZVV_BRAZIL) using odin. With this version I am having issues with wireless and GPS. My question is how can I change to the unbranded version. I have lagfix and root installed. Do I have to undo the lagfix and the root first? Is it possible to install the unbranded version and don't lose the applications installed??
Please confirm
Thanks!

After following this method I get a bootloop, any idea why and how to correct it?, already tried a factory reset but it doesn´t work, I had to flash stock rom again.
Edit: It happens because I upgraded to the latest 5.1.1 version available last week:
Model SM-G9208
Model name GALAXY S6
Country Taiwan
Version Android 5.1.1
Changelist 5683207
Build date Tue, 06 Oct 2015 11:54:52 +0000
Product code BRI
PDA G9208ZTU2COJ2
CSC G9208ZZT2COJ2
So if you get the update alert in your phone DON´T do it, there is no known way to ROOT this new version.
It was not possible to install a previous 5.1.1 version either (G9208ZTU1BOH2), when I try to flash it with ODIN, the phone just displays an error message “SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2 BINARY 1”.
Any Ideas are appreciated.
EDIT:
Finally rooted with xiao1u root method!

The file on first post didn´t work, and 3 days after I rooted (and everything was working perfectly) using this file:
http://pan.baidu.com/wap/album/file...26914354&fsid=128909912720545&adapt=pc&fr=ftw
I get the following error message every time i need root access:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is problem! If you upgraded to Android 5.0, you will need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"
If the phone is restarted or turned off after getting this error message the phone is death, it doesn´t start again.
I tried reflashing the root file, but it didn´t work.
I had to reinstall the stock ROM agan, and waiting for any effective root method for 5.1.1 OJ2 ROM.

Hey, the same thing happened to me, I was stupid enough to not read this before. I tried the xiao1u method and it works, but it breaks mobile data. Did you get that issue?

Not in my case, my data was working perfectly, but problems started to show up 3 days after I rooted it, in the end it didn´t start again.
I haven´t found any other way to root this build yet and I´m still looking for a custom rom with no success.
If you want to give another try to xiao1u file try to disable the setting for "allow Google to regularly check device activity for security problems or warn about potential harm" after a clean ROM install, you can do it going to the GOOGLE SETTINGS app > SECURITY > VERIFY APPS & uncheck Scan For Security Threats.
Please keep us updated, I´ll post if I find any way to solve it.

Ok you may know this already but I'll post just to let you everybody else know.
DONT UPDATE TO THE LATEST 5.1 OTA. It adds rollback protection to your bootloader, which makes it impossible for you to odin to another build, unless its the same or a future update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/psa-odin-5-1-1-t3136151
As for our case, mate, I tried everything so far, the root method given by the OP bootloops on the latest OTA (previous 5.1 firmware on Sammobile is fine) and xiao1u method breaks mobile data for me although root does work perfectly. Funny thing is that if you tried the root by the OP and it got bricked, flashing the xiao1u method on top of it will get it working again, because its just the boot partition.
Atm, I just got sick of Samsung and their cr*p, had the same issues with my old Galaxy S4 with their Exynos. Got the Nexus 6P today and absolutely loving it.
I'll try to work it out sometime soon, if I do manage to get it working (mobile data for me) I'll post the fix here. This device is next to DOA for us as we've just got a couple of few blessed asian devs on it (all thanks to them). Unfortunately it may never be enough. I never got the issue you had, though it was just for last night, can you get into download mode? If so, odin the same firmware again. I used the 5.1 OTA on Sammobile, Taiwan. This is only for us who are already stuck in the new bootloader. You wont have root but at least your phone will work.
Cheers mate, all the best. Will update if I find a fix.

The results of my attempt to root is not very consistent or stable since 5.02 to 5.1.1 on different updates of the Taiwan variant (G9208).
Since first 5.1.1 update, I used xiaolu method and succeed for few days, I don't know what do you mean " xiao1u method breaks mobile data", my 4G signal was fine. With xposed hooked, I also observed the much more boot time of previous rooted phone, sometimes a smaller bootloop (3 or 4 repeated loops).
But after a very recent "samsung security policy update", the root has "gone" an re-root became impossible no matter by xiaolu's or chainfire UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46, most time they will cause bootloop and I can use odin to get back to initial status. Does that mean I don't have hope to root again?

This works on my Taiwan variant G9208 on stock 5.1.1,
Go on TWRP repository of dl.twrp.me/zeroflte, seek two .tar files as below and inject them stepwisely with different method
1st (Odin via USB). Twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar
2nd(use that TWRP -2.8.7.2, operate via an "OTG linked usb mouse" since touch not working...) . to flash Twrp-2.8.7.0-zerofltespr.img (but it's actually 2.8.7.1)
now you have a touchable TWRP.
But I can't get root now, even with xiaolu method, any one with luck, please note me

Future of Yotaphone 2

Hi guys,
This thread is for speculation and discussion mostly. I'm wondering what the likelihood of us getting any significant android updates in the future is? Yota seems to have gone pretty quiet as regards the 2. It's pretty likely their focussing their limited resources on the Yota 3. I would say it's pretty certain that that will come out running marshmallow so it should be feasible that mm comes to the Yota 2 as well.
I'm also wondering about the 3. If it comes out with better relative specs than last time then I'm going to consider it seriously; if it's to the yota 2 what the yota 2 was to the 1 then it should be a pretty good phone.
Lastly is there any chance of some custom ROM development for this phone? Tempted to look into it myself but won't be able to for a while due to life schedule and whatnot. Could CM be ported? What features do we think we could add? Is it just too much work due to the second screen or is a custom version of the stock ROM possible?
Hope there's still some decent attention going to this. Shame about the US launch being cancelled, we could have done with the recruits .

After the US failure, I thought they would abandon YP2 pretty soon too, but they're are least still developing 5.0 further, so I think there will a nice 5.0 update soon. They have a version lined up with some candy in it: double tap to wake, new widgets, and some other stuff I can't remember. Battery life seems OK-ish too. They pathed stagefright and stagefright 2.0 bugs as well, and include a google android (security) patch level reference in the about screen.
I don't know about 5.1 or 6.0, but I think their US marketing manager has said in the past they've been testing 5.1 at least.
About custom firmware: I have made some small steps in the past (initially targetting AOSP 5.0) but I nor others have invested enough time in it to grow it into a complete firmware. Once AOSP would build nicely, CM is not that far away.
Full EPD functionality is something else though. It's been discussed before: The low-level EPD driver stuff (to draw stuff on the backscreen) is included in the kernel sources that Yota released last may, and so it would be available in a custom firmware as well. However it would not be usable by anything but custom built apps (not the current apps/widgets), that would access the EPD interface directly. The framework adaptions and SDK support that Yota did (screen mirroring, backscreen manager service to display widgets and covers etc) is not open source, so it cannot easily be ported. It might run as-is on a 5.0 custom ROM, but not likely on 5.1 or 6.0. So on top of creating a Custom ROM, there would need to be designing and coding effort to make the EPD actually usable. With the current level of interest from devs chances are pretty slim. Maybe a bounty system might work if there are enough people interested in contributing, but looking at the level activity in the Yotaphone subforum, I doubt that enough people are interested to make it worthwhile. (Or do we have a rich Russian Oil Company mogul in our midst ?
Anyway, I expect a Yota firmware update pretty soon with some nice improvements, still remaining at lollipop 5.0 though.
Edit: forgot to mention that I'm having trouble installing Xposed with newer versions, can't get it to work, hangs at boot animation. So if you're attached to Xposed, be careful when upgrading once the new firmware becomes available.

LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.66 update
I just got an OTA system update request on my phone for downloading version LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.66 today. I have not installed it yet, because my phone is rooted and I'm hoping someone else will take the plunge and report results before I try. (I'd hate to lose root entirely.)
I checked the official firmware repository (ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/) and this version hasn't appeared there yet. There seems to be a similar new one for the APC region though. (Incidentally, I'm in the US, but I bought the phone online and apparently it was HK region. Works fine for me, so I don't care.)
I took screenshots and stitched them together so I could share the complete update description. I apologize for the ridiculously large image, but I didn't want to have to type all this stuff up, and I wasn't aware of a way to copy and paste it as text.

I was considering downloading it, but I'm not sure if I can do that and not have it auto-update once the download is finished. If I could get the file, I'd be happy to post it somewhere online if it would be useful. I've got ES File Explorer and root, and I assume it will be stored in /cache, but I don't want to risk updating right now.

I just got an OTA system update request on my phone for downloading version LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.66 today. I have not installed it yet, because my phone is rooted and I'm hoping someone else will take the plunge and report results before I try. (I'd hate to lose root entirely.)

Nice that they included a releasenotes, I have the impression that not everything is in there (like selecting a background photo for yotahub panels). It's nice to see that they're still improving on YP2 firmware.
I tested a version close to this one (but for another region) and it had a bad bug in the touchscreen functionality: when holding the phone (and thereby touching the backscreen) the front screen would not register taps or gestures correctly anymore. Not saying that this version has that bug too, but it might be worth testing this. Yota's got versions beyond 1.66 already, which include double tap to wake (and double tap to open specific apps on the backscreen while locked)
With TWRP you can backup your phone (including system, boot and data) and try the new firmware out. You can easily restore the backup if not satisfied, you'll be on your previous version again, including root.
There's a good chance that your firmware update will fail if you're rooted (as the original files on /system are different than expected by the update). So you should probably unroot, then update, then root again by flashing supersu through (TWRP) recovery.
The firmware file you might be able to capture is probably of limited use as it will likely be an incremental update from your specific previous version to 1.66.
So, backup first then try it out!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try to set aside some time this weekend and do a backup/update. Once I do, I'll post my findings here. Hopefully this update doesn't have that touchscreen bug you mentioned. I haven't had any major problems with my phone on the current version, but I'm curious to try what the update has to offer.
I hadn't thought about TWRP for rolling back. I never flashed it directly to the device, but I assume I can still do it by booting up as described in the post on here. And even if rooting somehow changed or was locked down, I'm assuming I can still boot the TWRP image and re-flash my backup. My bootloader is unlocked, and I assume will stay that way.

Your bootloader status and TWRP recovery should be fine by this update, haven't seen attempts to mess with any of that with recent firmwares.

Which ROM is for where?
Can anyone tell me which ROM is for what area, and if possible what the differences are.
Read all the Yotaphone posts and have a pretty good idea but 1 stumps me.
CN China YD206 Best radio
APC Asia Pacific?
EU Europe YD201
HK Hong Kong 4.43 What I just bought.
Has an OTA app but no update yet.
Planning to root, TWRP then EU 5.00 with CN radio but I'd sure like to know what ME is for.
RU Russia
ME No idea since Mexico is the same as the US.

Middle East?

Need help updating baseband/modem on I9505

Hey guys,
I've had my S4 for a while now and I've been happily switching around between ROMs and getting the newest versions of Android ever since Jelly Bean. Now I've recently been noticing that my wifi and 3G is acting up. I constantly lose the connection (shows up as a small exclamation mark on the wifi/3G symbol) and while sometimes I can fix it simply by switching to airplane mode and back, it often requires a reboot to get things working again.
While I have been updating my ROMs quite frequently, I've never actually touched the modem firmware, which makes me think that it's probably the reason for these problems. Which leads me to the following questions I have:
1) Where can I find the right firmware version? All I know is that my phone is a I9505 from the German carrier 1&1 and that the baseband is XXUEMKF (I vaguely remember that it may have been a different baseband in the past, I may have fooled around with it back when I was completely new to custom ROMs).
2) Is there any way of updating the baseband without using Odin? My USB connection has a loose contact. Charging still works, but data transfer only works if the phone is ABSOLUTELY not moving. Even so much as breathing on the phone will cause it to lose connection. I do most of my data transfers over wifi with Airdroid, so this hasn't bothered me until now. Any way to get around using Odin?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm running Resurrection Remix 5.5.7 (Lollipop 5.1.1)

I'm in Sweden and wishing someone with experience made it easier to find most up to date firmware and maybe even a brief explaination on fixes. Also I'd like to know for all these roms if there is a possible ROM + FIRMWARE package possible so you always have the correct firmware for your rom, i.e running Lollipop 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 or 5.1 or 5.1.1 seems to be needing different f/w's (or am I completely wrong?)
I'm currently running [JDCTeam][STABLE][5.1.1][1 November] Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1 build with latest update and I'm getting the "known" black screen in calls which is so annoying.
But when I run Aurora S6 Port 5.2 [OTA Update 1.6 by JASONRR] I have NO ISSUES what so ever.
Please someone explain this!

You guys probably need to update bootloader and modem. You can manually flash them or flash a stock Lollipop rom.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
Try this version. I9505XXUHOJ2
It doesn't matter from which country. Flash it using Odin (you can only update modem and bootloader using Odin). Afterwards you can restore you rom.

Since I'm still less then 10 posts I can't post external links...I have that and "sammobile dot com", but what I didn't know was that you could flash from different countrys, this is new to me. So a new question arises and that is why in several posts here on XDA there are lists with multiple selections depending on location like this thread [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025 ].

It's only used as a reference to know where a firmware was released. It doesn't matter if you pick a firmware released in for example Germany or one released in Sweden. Same firmware but different label. Just ignore it.
ps the black screen will be solved after you update modem+bootloader.

*Update*
Updated the Bootloader (BL_UHOJ2.tar) and Modem (CP_UHOJ2.tar) but blackscreen in calls persists
And since I know that it works 100% in Aurora ROM I'm guessing it's a software issue (I presumed it was fw but maybe not). Running "Proximity Fix" doesn't fix it either, sensor still shows 0cm! It isn't a bad sensor i.e no air blowing issue!
Please advice!!

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm still a little intimidated by all this. Which firmware version should I flash? There's the HOJ2 version that seems to exist for many different countries and carriers and some are described as being for branded (simlocked?) phones. My phone is unlocked and I'm using the carrier 1&1 in Germany. Which version do I download? And why is it a 1.5GB file? I thought this was just the modem and bootloader? Or does it only come in combination with a full stock ROM?
Also, any tips on where to download, all the links I find are for filesharing sites that throttle non-premium downloads to ridiculously low speeds.

Howto: Load International Mate 8 Software on Chinese Mate 8.

This is a very simple guide to load the International (NXT-L29) software onto the Chinese version (I have NXT-AL10 with 128GB and it works for me.) Please try at your own risk. If anything goes wrong you can always do the Wifi recovery.
Prerequisites:
Bootloader Unlocked.
Fastboot, ADB, Drivers (I can't do a tutorial for this, please google for how to get these set up.)
Files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B79PB4FhWfJAVXpUaGpmS3pyd28/view?usp=sharing
You should get a RAR file with a bunch of IMG files. These are extracted from NXT-L29_C900B133_Firmware_global_Nonspecific_Android6.0_EMUI4.0_05013HRE
Boot the phone into fastboot mode, using ADB or holding power+volume down.
Run the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash cache (PATH-TO)cache.img
fastboot flash cust (PATH-TO)cust.img
fastboot flash system (PATH-TO)system.img
fastboot flash userdata (PATH-TO)userdata.img
If everything went well, everything will work when you boot it up.
It cost me $20 to download the firmware from an unscrupulous Iranian site, but I pass along the gains to everyone at no charge
Differences from the Chinese version:
1. Google apps and services.
2. Voice wakeup is no longer very powerful. If you speak Chinese, you can ask the Chinese version of HiVoice the weather, play music, etc. The International (English) version only lets you make calls and find your phone, so it's less useful.
3. Missing various Chinese apps.
For me, in a lot of ways the Chinese version is better. It makes me want to learn Chinese so I can have some hands-free assistant compatibility But things like Google Now on Tap are working in the International version, so it's useful in its own ways as well.
UPDATE: Wifi restore might not necessarily work to revert to Chinese firmware. So please be very careful. I was able to revert by using flashboot to put back the Chinese firmware, then using the wifi restore once my device was recognized as NXT-AL10 again.

Only if you unlock the phone first, though. For example, when I'm going to sleep and I have the phone nearby, I might ask the weather for the next day, etc. If I theoretically spoke Chinese well enough to do that, I could
I can use the voice assistant to wake the phone, then use "Ok Google" to activate google now, but google now's voice response only works if the phone has no lockscreen set. I have no idea why.

hey duraaraa, so u managed to get to those firmwares after all, congratz! and big big thanks for making it available free of charge, kudos for taking one for the community! much appreciated
so hey, questions: did u notice any difference between the two firmwares concerning the ubiquituous notification issue? and why did u flash right back to the chinese firmware? are u so set on learning chinese? haha

Ah okay, didn't know about the lockscreen issue with google now.
Maybe a 3 party lockscreen app can solve the problem.

It will not fix push messages. The push messages issue can be fixed with Doze settings or by disabling Phone Manager. But please note, you can't fix the push messages by installing this. I tried and failed

The reason is the Chinese firmware has more unique Huawei features. Feels like (although Google stuff got added) more got taken out than was added, and I can add the Google stuff myself, to the Chinese ROM.
The permission manager also became Google's version (I somewhat preferred Huawei's version), and there just didn't seem to be any reason to stay on the international firmware. The only thing I could think of is if I could somehow use international modem to enable Band 28 for Japan where I am currently, but since Band 1 and 3 are covered, I'm generally okay in that regard too.
As for learning Chinese to use the HiVoice assistant, I think it would be very fun to learn enough to communicate with my phone
To be clear, notification issues are exactly the same on Chinese and on International ROMS. Please don't get your hopes up You can fix them with Doze settings editor, though, on either.

I noticed that the file manager is missing on the internal rom. The yellow Pages App was removed and unlinked to the "call" app, so you won´t get any chinese numbers as recommendation if you start dail a number.

*** ROOT ***
i tried rooting the Mate8 with International (NXT-L29) Rom successfully. After setting up the device with the files from International rom, i sent it to twrp with the Mate8 root tool. On exit custom recovery, you may choose to install superSU script. After reboot into normal mode, superSU script appears on the screen and can be used to auto-Install SuperSU (again via twrp, but automatic mode).

@duraaraa Can you post Contacts.apk of international rom, I hate some chinese yellow page

@duraaraa Thanks for your efforts! I do not own a Mate 8. Still deciding between Mate 8, Blue XL pure and the new Letv Le Max Pro (which isn't out yet).
I also admire your willingness to learn Chinese to take advantage of some of the Mate 8 features! I was wondering, on the international version, is recovery in English?

true, good point, recovery in english would be another argument to switch to the international rom i guess im gonna take my time and check both the original chinese and the international rom, see which one serves my needs best just several days to go now, my mate 8 should be arriving next week

You will need to unpack it. Use this tool:

I would like to note that I have not been able to successfully get notifications working with the screen off (in doze IDLE state) with the international rom, regardless of doze settings. I'm working to figure out the root of the notifications issue. It looks like despite the timer, the phone never goes from IDLE to IDLE_MAINTENANCE in both the latest Chinese version and in the international version I posted in this thread. When I find the answers (I'm currently testing with an older Chinese version I had notifications working on before) I will let everyone know!
EDIT: I made a post about this, so please refer to it. If anyone can help me figure out why these phones (except for one firmware version) don't get out of IDLE when they're supposed to, we can solve this for everyone

You know... the notifications issue is a big problem. I'd almost recommend not buying the phone for that. Otherwise it's a great phone, though.
It's just a really messy situation with the firmware differences
