So a few months ago I decided to check out of the Mate 8 permanently and go for a OnePlus 3T. It's been wonderful but I couldnt help but feel upset that the beautiful beauty i had left in a broken state due to user error on upgrading to nougat was completely unusable and just sitting in my drawer next to my bed. It had carried me through lots of times and a whole year of college i took notes on that thing with the cutest little smartphone keyboard u ever saw. I eventually decided after becoming more familliar with android to take a crack at unbricking it myself because the mate 8 unbrick tool never actually worked. The only thing i could do was boot into twrp, but i couldnt do anything in it.

But, thanks to you guys, you developers and you regular people whom had gotten screwed by Huawei into discovering so many issues about Nougat on the Mate 8. I managed to save my phone and im even on KangVIP B386 and working flawlessly. All of you guys whom use your google drives and basketbuilds for public downloads that are still live links. Thanks to @Ephemera and @pappaschlumf for posting so many fixes and things in their never ending threads of 500 pages each and replying to comments.

Im happy to have 2 phones now that i wouldnt mind popping my sim card into either and hanging out for the day with one or the other :)
But, as of today, i think im going to hang out with my Mate for the rest of April. We've got some catching up to do:good::silly:

Great stuff! :good:

Also still very happy with the Mate 8. No reasons to upgrade/switch to something else soon, which is rather unusual. Really like the screen, Emui (!), camera (!), battery life.

Still rockin' B386 as well. Not a lot really wrong with that firmware imho. Everything works. It's fast, smooth, stable as a rock, battery is great.

Mate 8 ftw! :cool:
