[RECOVERY] [MULTILANGUAGE] TWRP for Huawei Mate 8 **UPDATE 5/22/16**

Here is TWRP for the Mate 8. You must have an unlocked bootloader to flash this. After you flash this then you can root by flashing SuperSU after booting into TWRP. When installing a ROM for the first time you must go into TWRP and go to Wipe, then Format Data and do a format or else your internal storage will not be recognized.

4-09-16: Progress bar partially working in the Black & Blue version

**On first screen tap the right most button, second from the bottom (Settings) then tap on the globe icon at the top right and choose your language. Then it will stay in that language**
** When formatting data in TWRP after updating to B321 it will take about ten minutes. Let it finish**​

thx for posting this, much appreciated
one of the bugs ive found with the mate 8 version is that the screen brightness cant really be adjusted. at some point it goes pretty dark and then just stay that way. a bit annoying but u can still work properly with it btw, the twrp themes from xda work like a charm

On my Mate 8 in TWRP I cannot mount or backup data no matter what I try. Do you have the same issue? I think we need a better build of TWRP. I'm in the process of making a stock debloated ROM but the TWRP problems are driving me crazy. EDIT: Going to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and Format Data fixed the issue. Now I can install from the internal memory and my data partition is working in TWRP.

oh i thought that had smth to do with the data partition being encrypted. i had the same issue but once ive installed the decrypted boot.img i could properly access the data partition in twrp....weird huh?

Me too, but doing that seems to fix the problem any time TWRP doesn't see my Internal Storage. The brightness bug is an issue although not a major one. It seems that after you let the screen time out then turn it back on the brightness is a lot higher.

ha nice one, didnt notice that since i usually switch off the screen timeout option yeah, all in all its definitely in working condition! no major bugs one cant work out currently. and im sure itll get better in time

Thx for TWRP but can someone explain me how to unlock the bootloader on my mate 8?

use the tool dc unlocker in order to read out the bootloader code for your specific device. ull need to pay 4€ to use that function, everything else is explained in detail on the website and in the tool itself for huawei phones.

Format data in TWRP...

Ok, i will try it when I'm back at home. But will it work, when the twrp can't mount anything? I tried to wipe dalvik and cache, fix permission nothing worked. Mounting didn't work too. Get only red text that isn't possible. It's my first Huawei device, have it since Saturday and now this problem
N910C ~ eRobot 11.1 ~ GoogyMax 2.0

i had the same problem initially. u have to flash a decrypted boot image first, then mounting is possible and the bootloop is resolved

Where can i find the decrypted boot image, so many questions starting from scratch with Huawei, is other than samsung.
Edit: ok, read in another thread where to get the decrypted boot image.
N910C ~ eRobot 11.1 ~ GoogyMax 2.0

I'm working on a custom ROM for the Mate 8 with the Google Apps installed, decrypted boot and rooted. I'm just trying to fix a few bugs. If I can fix them a Simply Google release will be near.

Back up your internal storage to your computer and try this. In TWRP go to wipe, then Advanced Wipe and Format Data. Type in Yes. Tell me if after you do that if TWRP sees the Internal Storage properly. No matter what I did TWRP would not see my internal storage until I did that.

This was happening to me as-well, while I was on the official build of TWRP. This is what I did:
1) Flashed @dianlujitao 's custom TWRP recovery from here.
2) Wiped and Formatted all the partitions to Ext4.
3) Changed only the Data partition to f2fs.
4) Adb sideloaded LineageOS and Gapps.
5) Finally Rebooted and all was well.

this happens because the out-dated twrp isn't compatible with 7.1, f2fs always works well

TWRP wipes phone after reboot?

Hi there,
I have a little problem with twrp 3.0.2 (I think). Every time I boot to recovery and then to system, it wipes Data and dalvik cache. Automatically. That sucks because the reboot takes long and I have to restore all my apps etc. Can someone help?

What ROM? Try the modified TWRP by jcadduono or the one by eng.stk

I have the same problem. Did the modified TWRP fix it?

God we can discuss this for ages now, but twrp has a way more recent OFFICIAL build on their site. 3.0.4 is a git code build and thus NOT official. Anyways I am out.

It should, try it. Don't have this device on hands so can't test.

I have a question is that can I delete these files on the fox folder (it's 3GB) . Also I don't want the orange fox to install my miui updates, I just want my system updater to do it even if it means removing the orange fox, it's still ok.. can I do this?

The beta version of this recovery shows SD card and USB storage 0 mb and thus we can't access them from recovery nor we can mount them (this problem is in beta version only)

I flashed stable version of this recovery but touch was not responding, not even a bit..... then i installed beta version and touch worked, but whenever i tried to install lineage os 16.0 , it shows error 255 ..... i also tried twrp 3.2.1.0 earlier but touch was not responding there as well....nor was otg mouse.... i flashed twrp 3.3.1.0 as well and there otg was working fine but even after installing the rom amd booting up, touch was irresponsive help!!

For me it's working fine

i already mentioned , i had tried 3.3.1.0 ..... by the way my issue was resolved by the service centre and for free (under warranty ) i just cleared everything , installed original rom locked the bootloader and went straight in stating that touch became irresponsive after update .... also i would like to update that , i tried pitch black , orange fox stable plus beta , twrp 3.3.1.0,3.2.1.0 and at last flashed stock fastboot rom using mi flash tool as well but failed to solve the problem then ..... I'd 2 phones that made it easy for me

This is really nice, Thanks devs

Go to wipe and click on format data then enter yes and swipe the slider it will format your internal and your encryption will remove

Thanks for the answer, my friend. I really appreciate it. I've already solved this problem.
The thing was that after I format data and rebooted to system it kept encrypting it again. For some people rebooting to recovery again and flashing magisk from an SD card worked. For me it didn't. So I tried again but wiping data, cache, and system and flashing another ROM.

Hi,
I'm actually considering buying the Xiaomi Redmi S2 and I have some questions regarding the device and this recovery.
1. Would you recommend the S2 in 2019/2020
2. Is Treble TWRP required to use treble ROMs or can I install this directly and also use treble ROMs.
3. Any recommended tweaks for this device.
4. What configuration of RAM and Storage would you recommend? (I only found 3GB RAM and 32GB Storage versions)
5. Expandable Storage? (microSD)
6. Any bugs with treble in general or specific treble ROMs?
7. Anything to look for when buying this device used?
Kind Regards

i found this recovery in msm extended telegram chat.
the installation did not format my data since i have all my apps working and i can see the entire internal storage when i connect the phone to pc.

I have this recovery on my device for a later time in case I decide to move away from OOS so I can't speak to experience...BUT:
My understanding is due to decryption/recovery on this device the chinese recovery will work BUT the limitations are that if you are on OOS currently you cannot decrypt storage, HENCE you will not see anything in TWRP (again that is my understanding). After backing up the device and wiping the data partition at minimum (most custom roms seem to require us to fastboot wipe our partitions from instructions ive read)... then we can use this version of recovery for custom roms.
I think the major difference between this one and the official version here is of course the unofficial nature of this twrp but also the chinese twrp will let you flash (not boot) the recovery image without issue so we can still USE OOS OR flash custom roms without things going...wrong?...I plan to wait until the A11 OOS upgrade before I make a decision. After learning about how 1P botched the recovery keys + partition issues with the A10 launch I think its just better to see how development goes AFTER the new year maybe

Hmm l was of the understanding that if you format using the chinese recovery all will work on oos will see what's what and report back as soon as l find it and flash it
So flashed Chinese twrp couldn't mount data until l formatted data using it then l could see everything in storage but it reverted after a reboot and would need formatting again to see storage also it seems much more functional that the mauronofrio twrp but the decryption issue is still an issue for me at least. It's ashame nobody is working on this to give us a better twrp.

What's "this"? And what do you mean nobody?
Check twrp gerrit and github and you'll see lots of progress. Fastbootd has been implemented, and dynamic partitions are pretty much handled now. Only significant thing would be decryption, but let's hope Android 11 fixes this as Google once again has changed things regarding to keystore.

Ok l stand corrected just wondering why mauronofrio hasn't released an update or updated his thread. So OnePlus have to implement changes to keystore with Android 11 so they might fix it ?
