Hi, everybody.
Sorry if I post this thread in wrong section.
Howewer I hope that this thread would be an aid for thus want to try the different beta builds of our phone.
Ok. So.
1. Dual SIM B170 --- B188 --- (possible 190 or 194) --- B524 --- B550.
- all is fluent.
2. Single SIM B171 --- B525
- all is fluent
- howewer this build cannot upgrade to B550
- seems that developpement freeze at beta build stage (waiting for final build)
- oh, and surprise: You CAN use dual SIM. Yes its true, i flashed over dual sim model (so i guess that this works only on Dual Sim models)
3. Chinese firmware B535 (--- exist the beta build 551, but that doesnt leaked)
- all is fluent
BUT. The BIG difference between these builds is that the Chinese firmware come with MANY more functions, than the others: SmartCare, Camera modes, Barcodes in Messaging, Yellow Pages in Dialer, and so Many others (maybe I would collect them for the whole list)
So I use the Chinese build. With little tweak is wery well usable. You have little areas with chinese options (for example you must change the keyboard from chinese to huawei swype), but it isnt annoying.
Oh, and if you register an huawei account on chinese site, well, you have many other possibilities from this build.
I recommend this build over the others.
P.S. I would make a voting for those builds too but i dont know how (maybe the moderators...)
i have got b150... can i go for b170?

I've read that some are using the chinese version, but i couldn't found info how to get it.
All HowTos und firmware links lead to C432B550 or C432B524 in the end.
Could you post details how to get the chines beta on an european phone?

Hm. I was sure that was here on xda, but anyway. I would quote.
Hello,
Finally we get EMUI 4.0 on P8 Lite. Few days ago I decided to change the location of my phone ALE-L21 because China goes beta test of 6.0 but with Chinese firmware installed on the B230 on ALE-UL00. And today the new Android 6.0 was successfully installed on my phone!
Cheers
FIRST and foremost you need change the location!!! to
unicomelectric/cn
To install OTA(EMUI 4.0) update is necessary to change your location and the Chinese version of the software B230
So here the OTA B535
Just put update.zip(1.1GB) into dload folder on your SDCard or internal memory!!! Then install as local update!
Guide how to install EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0 ALE-UL00C00B535 on device ALE-L21(P8 Lite)
Requirements
1.Unlocked bootloader
2. Rooted device
How to Change Region of Your Huawei Honor 4C [Root]
You can change the region of your Huawei Honor 4C and gain the ability to flash firmware from other countries by a few tweaks to the files that hold country settings. This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the entire process and provide you with the files required.
Huawei Honor 4C
1. Requirements
Full root access
ES File Explorer (Root Explorer is not recommended at all!)
Backup of your current stock recovery and custom recovery
Full Nandroid backup of all partitions
OEM Info File (download here)
Warning: Although you might find this tempting, there’s a high chance that you’ll brick your phone in the process. That’s why you’re strongly advised to keep a handy nandroid backup. We hold no responsibility for any kind of damage caused during or after this procedure. You proceed entirely at your own risk!
2. Procedure
Step 1: First of all, find out your current vendor/country info. One way to do this is by dialing *#*#2846579#*#* – from the menu that pops up go to Network Information > Vendor/Country Info. Some of the vendors/countries are:
hw/spcseas – Malaysia
unicomelectric/cn – China
hw/meafnaf – Pakistan
mts/by – Belarus
Step 2: Now that you know your region information, open ES File Explorer and turn “Root Explorer” on from the menu in the sidebar. Select “/” (device) from the bar above and go to “Data”. Open custom.bin using the ES Note Editor. You’ll see the same vendor and country information in this file as you previously saw in engineering mode. Clear the text and insert the text corresponding to the region you wanna shift to. For example, if I were moving from Pakistan to Malaysia, I’d clear “hw/meafnaf” from custom.bin and insert “hw/spcseas” instead.
When you’re done, save the file and make sure its permissions are set to rw-rw-rw in its properties.
Step 3: Now download the OEM Info package from above and extract it. Inside the oeminfo folder, take the oeminfo file of the country you’re shifting to and copy it to [/device]/dev/block/hi_mci.0/by-name/. Replace the file that’s already present in by-name folder. I repeat – replace the file – don’t delete it! Make sure you’re doing this only through ES File Explorer. Make sure this file has rwx rwx rwx permissions.
Step 4: Finally, if you’ve done everything right, reboot your phone and check your vendor and country info again by dialing *#*#2846579#*#* in the dialer.
Step 5: Now you should be able to flash any firmware from the region you now have. In case you’re seeing “balong” in Settings > Update as your version number it means that you now won’t be able to receive any online updates. You don’t really need to worry about it. Simply download the firmware and flash it through the forced SD upgrade method (you know the one – Vol up + Vol down + Power).
______________________________________________________________________
Change location on your device to unicomelectric/cn
a) Copy file oeminfo to internal memory or SD Card
b) Replace oeminfo on path /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name with downloaded one. Reboot
Instalation procedure
a) Downgrade to B052(fastboot) make wipe!
b) Install B230(fastboot) Make two wipe!!!
c) Install B535 as local update(put the update.zip on dload folder in internal memory) make wipe!
DONE!
PS: sokkoban was the autor (look at his label):
h t t p : / / huaweip8lite.blogspot . ro
I managed to find the thread, it's a bit messy because the Opening Post is deleted and i had to find all the filse cluttered over the thread.
Installation went quite smooth, but i'm a little bit worried because Model Number says hi6210sft, but that's something i can probably fix inside the build.prop.
so thanks tamaskurti for the info.
You guys think the best firmware is the chineese one ? I have all the files downloaded on my laptop but I doubt in installing it
look at:
h t t p : / / forum.xda-developers.com / p8lite / general / ale-ul00-t3339897
Honestly, i am disappointed with b550 official europe build.
I was on chinese b535 build, witch its beta, howewer, it has lot more functions than the europe builds. I wait for the final marshmallow build from chinese market, because, their rom is more ellaborated than the others. Sorry, huawei europe, but in comparison with chinese market, the final build seems for me that an early beta or alpha build.
Is there a way to get the Chinese version camera app to our phones (meaning official MM update)?

good job
Hi,
thanks for your work.
One question, will /data be overwriten when restoring this rom as backup?
Or would it be possible to have a flashable zip file?
TWRP restore this backup, restart your phone. Will be updated. Your data will remain without wiping . The result is the same as for installing Update.zip.
Thank you very much.
Good job, and this is an good news for this model...
/edit
Sorry my fault

One thing i've noticed. National roaming aint working. Im using o2 and its migrated with eplus via national roaming. On B820 it was working without any extra apps (like roaming control).
New: Flashable zip file for TWRP .
In TWRP recovery hit the "install" and select the file UPDATE_L04_6.5.16_KVIP_ji5ji.zip from SDcard.

I guess it might be related to radio/modem/baseband.
Can you please check baseband of your rom? Im pretty new to this device and i dont know how to flash a modem (which files exactly) yet.

This ROM is only the system, cust and boot partitions (block). Baseband my ROM is the same. These things are changing in the files "local.prop" or "build.prop". I tried to enter the "ro.config.RoamingNetwork = true" to everyone. All without results. Probably it is necessary to set up somewhere else.

Emui 4.0 has so far only TWRP recovery. CWM is only emui 3.0 or 3.1 You must first install the official Android 6. Then you can install my Flashable zip file.
Otherwise, of course, it would function in CWM recovery.

Oh ok, thanks for this info.
I remember some edited their props to gain national roaming. But i guess it depends on device and carrier. Do you need any files from stock b820 to check?
Just read for sony for example they added:
ro.roaming.extended=true
ro.roaming.extended_rule=1
to build.prop, but i dont see this in my build.prop

I searched in the "prop" files B820. EDIT:/*** \
What did you have in mind. Roaming+? Or what is sreenshots? What is on the screenshots, is available.
Theres no option. The phone 'allows' national roaming itself.
There are two carriers in my country which migrate there network to one. Like t mobile & vodafone getting one network.
It will be hard for you to test because i dont know if there is the same situation in your country. With roaming control
https://www.androidpit.de/app/com.insadco.roamingcontrol it works if you have data roaming enabled in mobile settings. But on stock this is not needed because 'they' enabled it software side.
So in the end i (and maybe others) can get rid of this by using apps (roaming control) or xposed modules. I just wanted to report that its working without, on stock. [emoji4]
I already understand... Unfortunately, in my country, I can not test it. I made some changes. It's not this? I'm not sure whether this was before the changes.

Huawei P8 Custom ROM
* MagicArrow *
Version Two
Magisk Edition and Classic Edition
Teamwork by Tecalote and KangV
Based on the European firmware b398 - only installable, if you are already on Marshmallow Firmware (Android 6)
Developed on GRA-L09 C432 - but it should run on all GRA-xxx models and regions due to my modification
Thread for German Users: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p8.2257/huawei-p8-rom-6-0-emui-4-0-3-magicarrow-v2-by-tecalote.819399.html
Well, you've been waiting long enough I am pleased to present you the new version of Arrow under the extended name "MagicArrow"
1) Difference between Magisk and Classic Edition:
The Magisk Edition was made to have a safteynet capable device that still offers much more features than Stock Firmware ... It has the same features like Classic Edition, with one difference: Outward It looks as if you had not unlocked the bootloader .... Apps like Pokemon Go, various banking apps - which does not work anymore on rooted devices should work in this Rom
However, you can not install Xposed Framework in the Magisk Edition without losing the green safetynet! There is the systemless Xposed Framework by topjohnwu, the developer of Magisk and it works, can be easily downloaded and installed in the Magisk Manager via modules (SDK 23) - but - there is currently no way to pass safetynet with a modified custom Rom together with Xposed Framework! For this reason, the installation pool in K-Settings for Xposed is removed from its function.
Attention: Update the preinstalled Magisk with newer Version 15.3 flashable zip made for this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75178940&postcount=871
Then look in the Thread for new posts about future Updates.
The Classic Editon is rooted with SuperSU and has same features, but you cannot bypass safteynet check. However, who does not run apps depending on this "questionable" service will have the same joy with this Rom. The advantage of the Classic Edition is: You can install from K-Settings Wanams Xposed Framework 87.1 and use a lot of Xposed modules ...
2) Requirements and information for this Rom:
If you want to have the best of this Rom, then it would be necessary to start completely clean - means from Custom Rom back to Stock Firmware b398 - With the exception of devices for which there is no more recent firmware than b370. An EMUI Custom Rom is as good as the before installed Firmware in the background. In principle, only system, cust and kernel will be flashed with the Rom zip. The original Firmware update a lot more, like modem etc. Therefore, the Custom Rom works best if you start from latest firmware for your device on which the Rom is based.
If you have already latest official Huawei Stock Firmware installed, it is less work...
I really dont recommend to flash dirty this Rom directly from Arrow v1 or if you stay on older Firmware. System and Apps will be wiped with the installation script. So you cannot keep your previous apps and data, you have to install them new.
You need the latest TWRP:https://dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img Do not use older ones!
The bootloader must be unlocked. Pick up the Huawei unlock code, because it is always valid for the same device. If you do not have an unlock code from Huawei and have problems to get it from Huawei Website, recently you can call regional Huawei service hotline and get the code by mail during 24 hours.
3) Installation guide for the MagicArrow:
1) Backup your apps and data from your current Firmware or Rom - but only User-Apps and not System-Apps. You can use Huawei Backup as well as TitaniumBackup. (Dont restore any System-Apps from previous system in the new Rom - example: if you use Huawei Backup dont backup Phonemanager, but you can backup desktop layout, sms, calendar, User-Apps etc.) Dont backup and restore Chat-Apps like WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat, Facebook and so on - use their inbuilt Backup Function like Google Drive Backup (its different, some Apps are storing everything on their server like Telegram) You must install and register Chat-Apps new on your new Rom. If you dont do that, Push-Notifications cannot work.
2) Make a backup of important folders and files from your internal storage (DCIM, WhatsApp folder, Downloads....)
3) Download Firmware update.zip - depending on the device model - and unzipp it on your PC - you receive META-INF and UPDATE.APP
GRA-L09C432B398: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v88316/f1/full/update.zip
GRA-L09 with other Cust: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GRA-L09&firmware_page=0
Other GRA models: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GRA&firmware_page=0
4) Copy UPDATE.APP and META-INF into a folder on the root directory of your external SD which must have the name: dload
5) If you are on Stock Firmware, not rooted you can directly update your Firmware. But go to step 6
A) If you are on Stock Firmware, but rooted, with TWRP installed and Xposed Framework installed, uninstall first Xposed Framework, reboot to system, after unroot your device, restore original boot.img and flash the original Huawei Stock Recovery.
B) Arrow Editions: If you have Xposed Framework installed, uninstall Xposed Framework, reboot to system (15 min) - after go to step 6
If you are on Arrow v1 Classic Edition without Xposed Framework, flash Huawei Stock Recovery from K-Settings /more settings / flash recovery - flash official recovery. You can reboot directly from here to Stock Recovery.
If you are on Arrow v1 Magisk Edition without Xposed Framework, flash with TWRP Magisk Uninstaller: http://tiny.cc/latestuninstaller and after flash Huawei Stock Recovery b391 (by choosing img): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705190
- go to step 6
6) Press Vol+ and Power Button until phone reboot and hold this position until phone boot up to Stock-Recovery. Here you do first "Wipe Cache Partition" and second "Factoryreset" - go to step 7
7) If you start EMUI Update from here, just go to Restart and press Vol+ and Vol- (in the middle down and hold this position), wait until phone reboots and EMUI Software Installing begin (of course, update.app and meta-inf must be already in dload folder)
If you was back in system between you can start update with pressing down Vol+ and Vol- in the middle and at the same time pressing Power Button. Wait until phone reboot and you see Huawei Logo. Now you can release Power button, but you must keep holding all the time the pressing down postion with Vol+ and Vol- until EMUI Software Installing begin. After some time your firmware is updated and restart to system. Dont make an account yet, just make short setup.
8) Open settings /about phone and klick 7 times on build number for enabling developer options. Open developer options and in there enable USB Debugging. After go to settings / (advanced) settings and enable "unknown sources"
9) Connect your device with USB to your PC and let windows install the drivers or install HiSuite (which installs drivers if windows cannot recognice) You need the USB Connection. With Minimal ADB and Fastboot in administrative mode you can flash now the newest TWRP, which I have linked above.
10) Disconnect your device from USB Cable, soon TWRP is succesful flashed
11) With Vol+ and Power Button reboot your device to TWRP - this step is important if you want to keep TWRP
12) Allow system modification and go to ADVANCED WIPE - choose in the first step ONLY internal Storage (nothing else). Do not wipe internal Storage together with the other partitions in step 14! Soon internal storage is wiped, go back to main menu and restart the recovery. You should get the Root Permission request from TWRP "Allow system modification" once again, allow it and open settings to configure (24h clock, language, time zone, etc) If you dont get the Root Permission request from TWRP yet, you will get it after next boot to TWRP.
13) Now copy MagicArrow.zip to your external SD - Attention: If you want the boot sound to be played on the phone - before flashing the Rom, sound must be switched on!
14) Boot to TWRP and go to ADVANCED WIPE - Wipe following partitions:
Dalvik/Art Cache
Cache
Cust
data
system
15) Go back to main menu and flash MagicArrow. After flashing is done, reboot system without wipe of dalvik/cache. As you know, the first boot process can take up to 15 minutes (just like installing the Xposed Framwork)] After boot to system and first setup - you have to make some IMPORTANT STEPS (see next Point) before you restore /installing your apps and adjust your phone.
4) Important information for the Magisk -Edition:
During first setup you may receive a root-rights request, if so, confirm this. After first setup - please do not open the Magisk Manager . Before you do anything else,open settings / about phone and klick 7 times on build number to enable the developer options. Open developer options and in there enable USB debugging! Then go back to Settings - in the b398 there are the extended settings with the short name: Settings. In it, please enable " allow unknown sources "
At this point restart immediately your P8.
Now open the Magisk Manager, the app is looking for updates - to speed this up, drag from first white field (like refresh of a website in Chrome) with the finger pressed down - the manager is up to date. Makes a query of the Safteynet = green.
Then you go in the Magisk-Manager left to the Controll-Pannel to settings. Do not change anything, with one exception: enable systemless hosts! This step is very important. Then immediately the second reboot .
Next open AdAway and activate the hosts file (download files and activate the advertising block) - then the third reboot .
After open AdAway again and see if the hosts file is active, if it is, all well, if not, download the hosts files once again and restart P8. (Sometimes another reboot is necessary at the point) Only when AdAway is green (activated) - then the safetynet is passed by. You can now again check in the Magisk manager safetynet = green - if you do not these steps, you can break the safetynet. In addition, root and apps can be blocked!
As you know, Magisk uses his own superuser, integrated into Magisk Manager
For some reason if you have problems with safetynet with some apps, just download the following module in the Magisk Manager in the Control-Pannel under Download:
Universal Safetynet Fix
Otherwise, please do not download any modules, you do not know if they run and what they do.
Two modules are preinstalled - please leave this, otherwise this Rom does not function properly with K-Settings!
5) Important information for the Classic -Editon:
The Classic edition gets systemless Root during the installation by SuperSU 2.82 SR1 (SR1 has an integrated update for Huawei devices). After Rom is flashed and you restart phone, the first boot process will terminate, the device will restart once again - this is normal because of systemless rooting . Why systemless this time? Because of compatibility with SuperSU. The new versions of SuperSU are rooting always systemless. If there is the next Final version of SuperSU, you need only flash the zip in TWRP and there are no problems with the update.
To enable AdAway , just download the AdAway ad block (hosts file) and reboot the P8 - but after rebooting, please open AdAway again and see if it worked the first time - otherwise just download again and restart the device once more. The second time it fits. AdAway is controlled by the systemless root using an init.d script that mount the hosts file systemlessly and this script is usually only active after the second restart. If you ignore this step, you can block root privileges.
6) Features:
• VoLTE and IP-Calling enabled - disable it, if your mobile provider dont support it!
• Push notifications working - Enable WhatsApp, Telegram... as protected apps and enable Wlan and mobile data during "sleeping mode" as always on
• Most Gapps contained in system debloaded - please dont flash any GApps, just install it with Playstore (Core GApps and settings are present in the Rom)
• System is deodexed
• pre-rooted: Classic Edition by Chainfires SuperSU 2.82 SR1 - Magisk Edition by topjohnwuMagiskSU 13.3
• BusyBox 1.27.1 - Please dont change this BusyBox to any other (not Stericson, not JRummy...)
• Call Recorder - You can enable recording manually, if a call comes through with the memory icon in dialer - or constantly in dialer settings
• Some nice themes, BlackPyramid ...
• K-Settings - as usual with extended restart menu
• MiXplorer (very powerful Root-Explorer) and TitaniumBackup (can store backups without any problem through storage SD instead of document provider)
• Dolby / Atmos for Teamwork with Viper4Android - best experience with BlackPlayer (or similar) but not Huawei Music App
• Security patch level 1 July 2017 - all known Stagefright Security holes are closed
• Multiwindow mode - you can start this mode with long tap on square in navigation bar. Close the Mod in the middle with the turquoise symbol.
• Viper4Android (enable it via K-Settings) can be linked to its settings permanently in notification bar for quick access. - as usual.
• Xposed Framework of Wanam included in K-Settings, Installation start from there, reboots automatically. The Restart needs about 15 minutes.
• VIA Browser instead of Chrome
• AdAway - newest release
• And much more...
7) Phone Manager and the app PMPlus:
Phone Manager does not include the Autostart Manager in European Firmware. The advantage is: you do not have to worry about anything, everything is controlled automatically - and also works. But the battery consumption is slightly more, since all apps wait in the background to be called.
With the app PMPlus, you can activate the Autostart Manager in the Phone Manager. To do this, start the app, go to Installation and as soon as the succesful message comes, close the app (can be uninstalled thereafter). Now, on screen two of the Phone Manager, the entry "App auto-launch" appears!
But NOTICE - through this upgrade will initially set ALL Autostarts to 0 ! You must manually enable the most important apps in App auto-launch - all apps that should receive push notifications - and, most importantly, SuperSU in the Classic Edition and Magisk Manager in the Magisk edition. Otherwise Root permissions do not work!
Advantage: You have control over which apps should not start at system start or in the background (if you need it rarely)
But you must always remember to activate a newly installed app there if necessary. Example: Amazon, E-Bay, PayPal - some of these apps are coupled and not only need the autostart to work , but also the so-called " app activation " (which appears in Autostart Manager when such apps are installed)
Disadvantage: If the apps are not configured correctly in the mask, you have more trouble than good. So, if you're not control freaks, then let's keep your fingers out of it.
But if you want to activate this function, it is recommended to do it at the end, if you have already installed all the apps you are using and not before!
8) Disable Chinese Letters:
The Rom is European, but the K-Settings are from KangV. Thats why the Lunar component is installed in K-Settings (these are the only Chinese letters in this Rom).
To hide these, go to K-Settings:
1) Lockscreen and desktop settings and disable: "Lunar Calendar" and at "Desktop weather lunar"
2) Notification settings - disable: "Show statusbar lunar"
9) Save Battery:
NFC (with Android Pay) ist enabled by default - disable it and enable it only for the time you need it
VoLTE is enabled by default - disable it, if your mobile provider dont support it
Location Settings (menu: scan settings) disable WLan and Bluetooth Search while Wlan and Bluetooth is disabled, Navi Apps are working also without this setting.
Performance is enabled by default - change this in Akku-Manager (part of Phone Manager) to SMART
With "auto app-launch" (if you have installed) you can disable Apps which you use just sometimes.
Bluetooth enable it - if you use it and disable it - if you dont need it at the moment

Right settings for Push Notifications and install manual for Stock Firmware Update
Right Settings to make Push-Notification work for Chat-Apps like WhatsApp:
Settings with Phone Manager:
1) Once you have installed with PMPlus the Autostart-Manager called: App auto-launch as a part of Phone Manager- WhatsApp, Viber and all those apps must be activated!
2) Activate these applications also in Protected apps
3) In Notification center activate for these applications - Priority display, Status bar, Banners and Lock screen
4) If these apps are available in Dropzone management - activate them
5) In Phone Manager /open Akku-Manager (Remainning) and in this mask open the settings-symbol above - deactivate Power-intensive prompt and deactivate "Close excessively power-intensive apps" and some lines below:
Activate: Keep Wi-Fi on when sleeping ALWAYS - Keep mobile data on when sleeping
Settings with Permissions and Notifications:
1) Open settings /Apps and search for WhatsApp. In this mask you find Permissions- and Notifications-Settings , go inside of both and set the needed permissions for the app and also "Alllow Notifications" and Priority display
Settings in Developer options:
1) one point after "use legacy DHCP client" - set: Mobile data always active
Additional Settings:
1) Settings /More - Open Mobile network and set: Mobile data - and Enable always-on mobile data
2) Open Settings /Wi-Fi and go to menu in the right corner below "Advanced setting" - set: Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep ALWAYS
3) Open Settings /Notification panel & statusbar - activate: Notification panel "Allow notification panel to be opened from the lockscreen if not password protected
4) Open Settings /Screen lock & passwords - activate "Show detailed notification info" and activate optional "Notification turn on screen"
For most users of ARROW Push-Notification for Chat-Apps are working now as they should (whitout converting them to system-apps like in Gratitude before) -
And for most users battery life is much more better than in Gratitude or in Stock Firmware.
But for some users not!
- Notifications coming not constant or not at all - andBattery life is worse than before - How can that be?
Answer: The complete different initial situation and sometimes also the settings.
Initial Situations (examples):
User A updated Lollipop with Stock Firmware to Marshmallow a long time ago (example: from b200 to b317) - after he was going to Custom Rom "Gratitude" - and from this time he was never back to any Stock Firmware and flashed new versions of Custom Rom always dirty.....
User B was also last on b317, after on "Gratitude" and flashed every new version clean, with Fullwipe.....
User C was last on b321a, after on "Gratitude" and flashed every new version clean, with Fullwipe but Arrow dirty....
User D was on Gratitude 5 and then he go back to Stock Firmware b370 - from there with OTA to b382 and after he flashed TWRP and did a Fullwipe before installing ARROW - this user has the best starting position! And for this user ARROW should work as provided
Why?
Custom Rom can only modifiy on Huawei Devices following partitions: system - cust - vendor (and nothing else!) Modem Updates, Updates for Push-Notifications and other sync services or battery software updates are coming with official Firmware!
The best performance for ARROW is given, if your Marshmallow Firmware and Bootloader and Modem.... is also up-to-date.
There is no need to do following steps, if you have flashed ARROW and everything is fine for you.
I would recommend to go back to Stock Firmware as an step between - before flashing ARROW - for Users which come from Gratitude and for Users which have already ARROW installed and issues with Push-Notifications or too much battery drain!
(STOCK-RECOVERY AND UNROOT IS REQUIRED - AND YOU NEED ALWAYS FULL FIRMWARE FROM CUSTOM TO STOCK) - see install manual below!
The Full-Firmware you download (no OTA Files please) should be minimal b370 (which is available for all models). After this EMUI-Installing with reboot to system you can use in settings the Update-App to receive the next OTA Update and install this also. If the Update-App says after installing "no more Updates available" it is okay!
Normally you can use one Full-Firmware above b370, for GRA-L09 it is b382 - alternatively you can use b391 - but a higher version like b391 seems not work (cause Rom is based on b391)
Complete List of Huawei P8 Firmwares (for all models and cust v.): http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=gra

Install manual:
To go back to Stock Firmware you have to do following steps:
1) Backup what you need to backup! Use Huawei Backup and also Titanium Backup. NOTE: But dont restore in the new ARROW then system-apps or data from system-apps from previous system! Restore only USER-APPS. For Chat-Apps like WhatsApp, Viber, Skype use the built-in Backup function - but keep or backup the folder from those apps on internal memory (because you need them on the same place if you reinstall those apps)
Battery must have minimal 80% doing those steps....
2-A) Users of Classic-Edition: Open K-Settings /more settings /flash recovery - Flash official Recovery (grant Root-Permission) - this flashes Stock Recovery in half a second.
2-B) Users of Magisk-Editon: Please go to TWRP and flash Magisk-Uninstaller.zip to unroot your Phone. Users of Gratitude Magisk Edition should also flash unsu.zip (both linked in OP) After reboot make a connection with USB to your PC. With Minimal ADB and Fastboot program (on PC) flash Stock-Recovery. If you dont know how to do, ask me in this Thread. Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705190
If you have Xposed Framework installed - uninstall it (Magisk Users in Magisk Manager/Modules - Classic Users in K-Settings /Xposed Settings /Install Xposed confirm - Reboot needs about 15min)
3) Download the Full Firmware for your model, unzipp it on your PC (mostly you get update.app and meta.inf)
4) Create a folder on internal memory or external SD and name it: dload
5) Copy only update.app and meta.inf (if meta.inf is present) in this folder. After DISCONNECT USB from Phone!
6) Reboot to Stock Recovery - with Restart menu (also possible with pressing Vol+ and Power-Button at the same time as long until Recovery is displayed)
7) Wipe Cache with Stock Recovery (it uses another engine than TWRP) and do after a Factory Reset. There is no need to restart the phone to system now. Go to:
8) Press Vol- and Vol+ (in the middle) and Power-Button at the same time, until phone reboots and EMUI-Software-Installing is displayed
9) Let the EMUI-Installing finishing - it reboots automatically to system and starts the EMUI-Optimizing - wait until Language-Selection is displayed. Make a short set up (You can skip the most) - but it is important to arrive the homescreen.
10) Go to Settings / About the phone and tap 7x (times) on Build-Number. It activates developer options.
11) Go to Developer options and activate USB DEBUGGING - after open Advanced settings /security and activate "Unknown Sources"
12) Connect Phone with USB to your PC (Accept the Fingerprint query with "always" on your Phone) Look, if Windows installed the right drivers so you have access to phone - if not install HiSuite http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html and make a connection with HiSuite. Allow installing HiSuite on Phone. If you have access now, close HiSuite (also in Background).
13) Copy ARROW-Rom to your Phone.
14) With Minimal ADB and Fastboot flash TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862681510 - if you are unsure with the right commands, ask me in the Thread.
15) DISCONNECT USB Cable now from your Phone
16) Press Vol+ and Power-Button at the same Time until phone reboot (at the moment, Huawei Logo comes you can leave Power Button, but keep holding Vol+) Reboot to TWRP takes a while
17) Set up TWRP (allow modification, set language, screen timeout, time zone...)
18) There is no need to wipe internal SD (but if you like to do this, do it at first and restart after TWRP - then you must setup TWRP again)
18) Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and wipe: Dalvik&Cache, Cache, data and system
19) Install ARROW Rom
20) Restore User-Apps, but dont restore any System-Apps (or data from it) Chat-Apps install from Playstore, and use the built-in restore function.
ARROW should work now as ist should!
Men like always the best work!! I already intalled the Arrow ROM... At the moment working excellent... Congratulations :highfive:

Hi This is interesting - I am at home in two hours and loading up the apk for you.
I flashed both versions of the Rom about 20 times for testing several things and had always the App preinstalled...
I think it is cause of TWRP.
After making a Nandroid Backup before flashing the Rom it has problems to unmount and remount partitions.
If data was not mounted correctly, the App would not be preinstalled - cause it should go to /data/app
That's why I recommend, after making a Backup to Restart TWRP (reboot Recovery) before flashing the Rom...

Hi
Written in OP
"In ARROW are not included Chinese letters, with the exception of "Lunar" - which comes with K-Settings. Gratitude users know how to get rid of them. For all others:
1) Go to K-Settings, in there to:
2) Notification Settings / Show "statusbar lunar" - deselect.
3) Go to Lockscreen and desktop settings "Lunar calender + desktop wheather lunar" - deselect."
Great work, flashed it on my UL00 3 hours ago after wiping cache and dalvik cache only, everything seems to work alright, I can confirm that this ROM works flawlessly on UL00.

Hi Thank you for your feedback!
You have installed the ROM on the Middle Eastern variant UL00C185...
I am glad to hear that it not only works on GRA-L09
This is what I promised, but I wasn't 100% sure - cause I have only L09...
I am interested which build number is displayed in "About the phone"?
Thanks!
Everything is looking good so far. Thank you for your time and effort!
How do I activate automatic call recording? Is there a possibility of adding more regions to this rom? I have region specific software that fails. My digital satellite provider's software checks my region before it can work. I'm in South Africa.

Hi there Automatic Call Recording can be enabled that way:
Open the Dialer App - below left is a star, below right is the symbol for the settings menu. Open it and there you can enable automatic call recording.
For the other issue: Can you give me a link to an African Marshmallow Huawei Stock Firmware? So I can look at it and perhaps include the Region.
Which Region did you set up right now?
Thanks very much man!
Flashed it last night, after it took me half an eternity to backup all my files (had something messed up so I had to look a bit deeper). Flashing and all was fine, including xposed via magisk.
Been using it the day now, but at 2 Things im not sure if it is caused by the Rom or by the latest whatapp update:
-in widgets i can select WhatsApp - but there is no more this huge 4*2 widget with message-preview, does anybody else have this? (only WhatsApp Chat and WhatsApp camera available there)
-even though i have given WhatsApp all permissions, my Screen won't wake up when i receive a message. It was quite usefull while the phone lay at my table i could see in one glance whether or not it was important and decide to pick it up
....okay i have tried a bit and found out my Screen also won't wake up after receiving sms or email.. where could i look after that? every app has "Show on lockscreen" enabled
There was another thing, which i could't read fast enough, but it was something with kvip Settings and some overlay permissions and a path where to find them or so?
it popped up a couple of times at the beginning (those little messages in the lower middle of the Screen, just like "wifi connected") next time i will try to make a screenshot of that.
edit:
@Tecalote congrats for 500 Posts and 300 likes! :good:
@Tecalote your ROM IS ****ing awesome, congratulations!!!
Enviado desde mi HUAWEI GRA-L09 mediante Tapatalk
@ChavezD For the Wakeup Screen you must open Phonemanager and in there the Notification Manager. Every App like WhatsApp and Gmail, Email... is in the list - open WhatsApp or Email in the list and set up "Showing on Homescreen" and everything.
The other things I must look. Small popup messages should be shown, like "RAM 1.7 GB available, Wifi connected".. I must look later, at the moment I am not at home
Edit:
For enabling the Wakeup on Homescreen - you must go to Settings /Screenlock and Password - and there set up : Notification turn on screen!

@Tecalote yeah those Settings are all activated, really don't know what went wrong for me again or what i broke..
EDIT: OH god damn it, thank you so much! I hope i didn't actually disable it half sleeping this morning/"night"
Take your time, it wasn't annoying or anything, just wondered what it was. But it's exactly as you described, but not just 4 words but 4 rows or so in the same time period.
Maybe im also gonna reflash and not install every stupid app i've installed once. Is there any Chance to stop Google from automatically downloading all (>100) recently installed apps after reflashing a Rom? [I always Flash clean, so.. no dirty Flash for me^^]
Edit2: I think in those Messages i was talking about it wasn't Overlay - it was Dropzone. But still no clue what i should do there, everthing is allowed that wants to be

Hi again You can stop Google from downloading the previous installed Apps at the first start. After Google Login you will be asked if you want to restore - just deny.
Don't know yet what you exactly mean with 4 rows in the same time.
Do you mean perhaps Toast Messages? There's for example an Xposed Modul called "Perfect Color Bar" - in this you can enable "Toast" with mixed compatibility. After you get instead of the the small black info messages colored ones with the symbol of the App message. There are also other "bars" on the Repo for customization that messages.
Do you remember which official firmware did you have before using Custom Roms like Gratitude? b317, b321a, or b370? I know, there were some modem updates coming with the official firmwares (which cannot be done with Roms on Huawei Phones)
Maybe you should update to officially Firmware as an step between before reflashing the Rom. For this you would need the Stock Recovery, which can flashed from K-Settings, more Settings. On xda you can find the b391 here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/how-to/firmware-huawei-p8-b391-gra-l09c432-gra-t3534020
It would refresh the Rest of your Phone (which cannot be reached by ROM) - and after the ROM can work as it should...
Just an idea

Emui 4.0.3
May Safety Patch.
Only for original L21 or L21 Converted.
(It is not necessary to have Root or remove it.).
(HiSilicon Kirin 620 processor.)
REQUIREMENTS:
(Things that by precaution should have).
- HAVE EXPERIENCE IN INSTALLING ROMS, RECOVERYS, UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER, ROOTEO, otherwise better not move and take some time to read the forum tutorials well. (Because after that, reading, complaining and asking questions about how everything is done is tedious, even annoying, they want everything in their mouths, and that does not go away, without offending of course, know how to be responsible for their actions and Your terminal.).
-Bootloader Unlocked.
-Try TWRP V3 or higher..
- Have original L21 or L21 Converted.
- Have Android 6 - C432B598 Stock - Recommended.
- Have your bootloader unlock code at hand, just in case.
- Have a PC on hand with ADB & Huawei Drivers installed and working properly, to unlock bootloader or install a recovery.
- Have an SD Card & Adapter to connect it to the PC if necessary.
PD: Visit the Armeria, May be useful to them:

DO THIS UNDER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
IMPORTANT!
-Of my Audit are only the Customs Roms, the rest are extra tools of other users, credits to whom correspond, thanks to who deserves, to avoid confusion and misunderstandings. The objective is to take advantage of the maximum performance of the Cell does not gain fame based on Contributions.
- They must have original L21 or Converted, be in the C432B598 Stock preference, so we avoid mistakes and things like that.
-In case they have a problem with the Rom or not Bootea or are missing things or notice instability, do a factory reset with the recovery Stock.
- If for some reason Root disappears, just follow this tutorial and go!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/huawei-p8-lite-install-twrp-recovery-v2-t3597170
-The Roms that I do come with the basics to work, one or another complement that I consider necessary throughout Rom, Optimization through Build.prop, Boot.img, among other things for the correct and optimal operation of the system.
- I do not usually touch the appearance of each app of the system since for that there are issues of Huawei included in the Rom, neither Xposed, nor rare functions, the Roms that I do come free of garbage, so everyone knows how to customize their equipment.
- The V1 is deodexed for more support, you get more space in root, but slightly notice a slight delay in the transition of windows and apps, that does not mean that the Rom is not fluid.
-The V2 is not deodexada is practically to have the stock but optimized, but it shows enough fluidity, almost to the touch they respond the functions.
Explanation of Odex and Deodex:

Https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200349
-If you want to know which is better, test both and draw your conclusions.
- Please, I beg you to BACK UP TWRP before installing this ROM, for anything, it is better to prevent than having a nice and adorable BRICK.
-If you are not sure to do this tutorial better do not do it, there is no hurry so quiet.
-Because I put odd names to the Roms? Well they are names that I see around there or maybe I'm crazy haha I do not know the truth, the name I suppose does not matter.
-If you do not like Rom, then I do not even ask for life, I just share the things I do for my cel because maybe someone can serve you and for the sake of doing Roms, I've never considered myself Developer, I'm just a human who knows some things based on inquiring about Google, Youtube, Htc mania and XDA. I do not compete against anyone, I think that's the least of it. Amen.

I share a Mega Folder with Many Themes, in it is the alternative app to download themes from huawei. If you want to use the stock lock screen you can download and use one of my themes, just as you can use another and put the lock screen of my subjects (they are old so do not expect much), that way you can appreciate better The music controls.

Please read the first post under: "Apps Included:" in "<< CHARACTERISTICS AND CONTENT OF THE VERE-GONA ROM >>" (also in the other roms post here on xda and in the linked thread on htcmania)
Or see the screenshot.

The question it's about the licence, not on how to add the apps.

It wont pass safety net. He used SuperSU and not magisk to root
but you can unroot it using his guide and then flash magisk,not a big deal
Hey man........My phone just got waayyyyyy slow....Any ideas..Just after 2 hours of install and use
I am using it with magisk root instead of supersu and it's all fine,working nice and smooth.
You should check your installed apps,and also make sure you are not running so many apps in the backgroud,maybe some apps are making your phone slow while running in the background. I did not notice any lags so far,it's working as it should.
Can i change the language in music app ? If yes, how ?
Because i dont know this language !

Work with Solid Explorer. Thanks!
It has light painting mod like other eu modded rom
I will not be held responsible if your phone go into bootloops, no signal, bricked phone because you converted your Global to Chinese by downgrading. etc... ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR DATAS, FILES, AND IMPORTANT PHONE'S PARTITIONS BEFORE DOING ANY MODIFICATIONS.
REQUIREMENTS:
BS3 chinese unit. 3s and Pro (not tested)
JoyUI 12.5 CN MR1 (MR2 not tested)
bootloader unlocked
custom recovery
rooted with magisk ( required )
INSTRUCTIONS:
I'll assume you're on JOYUI 12.5 MR1 , ROOTED WITH MAGISK
Flash this magisk module file by wacko1805 then reboot https://sourceforge.net/projects/magiskgapps/files/r/Core/MagiskGApps-core-V1.1.zip/download
download and instal and run app (only account manager + calendar sync will install successfully) https://www.mediafire.com/file/aap5rjuy2ojgibi/Android-9.x-10.x-11.x-Google-Installer.apk/file
go the settings > apps > look for all google related apps infos and.....
toggle auto run
in battery, change battery saver (if available) -----> NO RESTRICTION (also responsible for any apps installed no push notifications)
change all permissions ----> always allow
google services should work nornally.
I just compile the tutorials but credits should go to:
John Eveline for unlocking the bootloader tutorials
wertus33333 for the stocked firmware links
topjohnwu for Magisk
to who ported the TWRP for this device
wacko1805 for the magisk gapps module
for who provided the google installer apk
XDA-DEVELOPERS for this wonderful community
If you like the tutorial, you can buy me a beer [email protected]
CHINESE FIRMWARE IS WAY BETTER THAN GLOBAL
Can you provide the TWRP img you used? I'll try to check if that will work. Currently at CN MR2

I've done this and success, but there's a problem, after doing that instructions, Apps will need a permission but you can't change the permission on Google Play Service app, so you need to modify the Google Play Service app manually with App Manager (you can install it from Play Store) there's many app like that on google and it requires root, im using CN MR1 but feels like using global phone here
