Hi, my U8860 is stuck in boot loop was on ICS B923. Can I flash CWM on it and install a custom rom or flash B923 (official) ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] desalesouche:
reflash stock rom B919... then install cwm or twrp and flash the rom you want...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] irtiqa:

Alright this is the only thread I can see related to this phone.

My friend dropped his phone and broke his screen, however the phone still boots up and when he connects it to the PC he can access the files available for access such as documents and the such. Anyway apparently he has been using his U8860 without a google ACCOUNT.

CAN I boot into download mode or something and get his contacts out for him? He really wants his contacts.

Hello guys, I wanted to ask if there is a patch to make the downgrade from B322 Emotion UI to B924 ITA,or you can do it without patch?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] desalesouche:
i am not sure but i think you have to downgrade to b935(B937? my memory fail actually).

then you downgrade with downgrade patch and the go back to b919...

someone correct me if i am wrong...

New lollipop thread for huawei honor u8860

Hi all. Time to open new Lollipop thread for honor.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Klen2:
Dear MODs, Is It really neccessary to remove the links? People are looking to XDA because they want support. But what kind of support is it? No Honor section (although it has quite good support) to share ROMs and Guides. And when somebody shares list of available roms, you delete it. I know that some pages require registration. I know it's against XDA rules. But is it really neccessary to be so strict? In my oppinion XDA stuff should make users' lifes easier, not more difficult. Thanks

Hey cm13 or lineageos 13 for huawei u8860???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
oh okay :/

well I've downloaded MIUI

could you help me with flashing it please?

(btw i'm currently rooted on the official ICS firmware)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Well, if you tell me where your problem is, sure. Just follow my first post -->

1.) Install custom recovery

2.) Flash zip update from this recovery (and maybe wipe before flashing to be save)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
well I managed to do it myself :D

but there's one problem, some parts are still in chinese like the notifications bar and all....how can I fix that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
well, the same solution as before.. look at my first post, theres something about changing languages. also reboot once after changing the language, some things only change their language after reboot. and some of those chinese apps stay chinese..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
still having the same problem. rebooted and installed morelocale2...

the options in the notification bar and the date on the lockscreen is still in chinese!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Well for the lockscreen you will have to get a different lockscreen theme if those two chinese letters that represent the words month and day between the normal numbers of the day and month are a problem for you...

For the statusbar I have no idea why this happens for you. I did not change the locale manually and after the second boot of the new rom the statusbar was completly in english
[Miscellaneous Android Development] The_Chosen_One:
flashing failed

1. I installed stock ics from huawei site and rooted it. tough I used the recovery "recovery-v8.img" because the one you posted did not work(I couldn't access recovery since there is no option in ics to disable fastboot).

2.After opening the custom recovery I wiped and installed miui v4(fixed version)

3.Rebooted and miui was just boot looping.

Now is there any chance to revert back to official huawei rom and try again?

I'm able to access pink screen and

[edit]I tried to put update.app into dload folder and it didn't work. Friend said that I need to have original recovery image. If possible could you post it here?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Well, you should have read what I said, but since its really important I say it again:

DON'T ****ING USE THIS BUGGY RECOVERY VERSION "recovery-v8.img"

It does not work! You ****ed up your phone because this recovery version reboots after a minute or two which is not enough to flash a complete zip. If you only flash half of the zip file then your rom will not be able to boot!

But as long as you can access the pink screen, you can replace the recovery (with the good version that I posted in my first post) and then flash the ROM properly.

For the MIUI ROM the option is under "Device" -> "Factory"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] The_Chosen_One:
As I mentioned in my post I'm not able to open custom recovery with the image you posted. Pressing vol up + boot or whatever it was did not do anything.

Phone wont even boot with that combination. But with v-8 I was able to enter custom recovery menu. In case I did use your recovery the wrong way can you tell me what is the combination to open the custom recover?

[EDIT]Even though I can access the pink screen it doesn't seem to communicate with computer so I cant transfer any file.This phone is completely ****ed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cymagnus:
Gives this a try:

Remove back cover. Remove battery. Put back cover. Hold up button and power button. While bonding this combination, plug in USB power. Release the buttons about 5-6 seconds. See if this gets you to Recovery..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Well I agree getting into recovery is a bit hard sometimes but I couldnt find a relation between the recovery image and how easy and quick the phone boots into recovery. Redeploy good recovery image and try suggestions from above poster
[Miscellaneous Android Development] The_Chosen_One:
Thanks for your effort but the phone won't even boot and refuses to charge (only the red light blinks on the upper corner). I contacted the local repair service and now I'm waiting for their reply.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cymagnus:
Just to update, the so called fixed, reloaded up MIUI ROM 2.3.26 at MOD EDIT: Link removed still cause bootloops on my Honor. I have reverted back to the one from MOD EDIT: Link removed.

Anyone has the All Backup apk? i want to restore my stuff with it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Yep. the same for me. If you want to check on the progress of that you can check my bugreport over at the miuiandroid.com forum:

MOD EDIT: Link removed.

the apk gets saved along with backups that you create in "sdcard/HuaweiBackup/AllBackupV4.1.08.apk" at least for me. check if you can find it there else I'll upload it for you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] davinccy:
Hi, I am new to Android. I have a question, for U8860, you root by installing the su-3.0.3.2-signed.zip file right? So do I have to uninstall su-3.0.3.2-signed.zip to unroot my phone? If so, how do I do so? I don't see an uninstall option in the recovery menu.

And for the new B977 version for U8860, the only way to enable Google apps is by installing gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip right? Is it possible to root my phone, install the Google apps package and then unroot it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
No, you can not uninstall a zip file. All that the recovery does is to unpack it into the root folder (and overwrites existing files there). You only need the recovery for this unpacking for two reasons:

1.) For security reasons some filesystems are mounted as read-only while the normal operation (on rooted android systems that are don't have the "production-build-flag" set to true you can remount everything to read-write mode)

2.) Some system files are always in use when you have booted android, you can not delete/overwrite them in normal operation.

For the chinese stock ROM I believe this is true. Why do you want to root and unroot your device? as far as I know you don't need root permissions for flashing the gapps package and enable them by dialing *147258369#
[Miscellaneous Android Development] davinccy:
I read from here that flashing the Google apps package in a non rooted Honor (Version B977) does not work anymore (Post #95). I did not try though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Hmm, me neither, sorry. I have to admit that I have no big interest in non-rooted devices ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] carstenheuer:
Recovery!

hi, can you please upload this recovery version "u8860-CWM-Recovery5.0.2.7"?

thx :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
I agree. Kernels for Android 4.x cannot be used for Android 2.3.x ROMs, and vice versa
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
hey kaefert, did u try the new b919 ch generic version of rom? its awesome :D but after some days of test, i hope that huawei will optimize the usage of ram, because multitasking its not so "multi" (hahahah XD) with this version :| btw with supercharged its a bit better :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
no I didn't try it sorry, I can't find the time/motivation to try new ROMs in the moment. I'm using the current MIUI Germany ROM release. has some rought edges, but their getting better with each version and you can upgrade without wiping. (and their translations are more complete than from miuiandroid.com)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] desalesouche:
thx for info...do you know if there is any oc boot image for 2.3.6 stockrom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JanviN:
Does this mean we can use the stock GB kernel in doc's Miui?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Well I haven't tried it but I think it should work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tropblaster:
People, I today downloaded the modern combat 2 from a site, because it is not showing on the Google play. But every time i install it does say the same "your device is not compatible"

I now that it could work on our device, since it does work on desire hd.

Does anyone know how.to bypass that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
mmm i remember some post in hd2 trhead for this problem :| you need to change in your build prop ro.product.device in something that would run the game (like samsung gt i9000 for example). This is because, some games, are designed for the qualcomm adreno (amd) chip, some others for nvidia tegra, and others for powerwgx from samsung devices :| now i have no time to check the solution, maybe tomorrow :) good night XD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Oookey. so you made me curious and I downloaded and installed the new chinese B919 ROM from huawei china.

I like that the SD-Card can be mounted again in the way I previously saw on the u8860 only with 2.3.x ROMs.

What I don't like is that the adb interface doesn't seem to work like it should (and does in the MIUI ROM) --> QtADB can't browse the filesystem.

What I truely love is the HDR camera.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
I cant test adb, because i ve replaced my pc, and my stupid win7 wont intsall the jdk -.- the camera in this relase it awesome :Q_ i ve read in miui.com forums, that in the next relase, miui will change the baserom, so will not use anymore the b977, but b919 instead :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
with next release, do you mean 2.5.18 or 2.5.25?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
2.5.25 :) the 2.5.18 is the last relase with b977 baserom :)

edit: kaefert, you should maybe introduce this fondamental program for honor users: http://www.miui.com/thread-575966-1-1.html its a program for the imei backup.. i ve lost mine whit the flash of the doc3000 miui.. dont know why, but now my imei its 0.. i dont care, because in italy i can make call whit 0 imei, but in other country, this is not possbile.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
you can loose your IMEI?!? truly?! I always thought this is somehow burned into the harware, like a MAC-adress of a network card. If you go into the phone app and enter *#06# you truly get 0 instead of some quite long ID?

Back to the new ROM: Its a different kernel, since this HDR-Camera stuff is a kernel driver.. So I really would like to have these kernel sources to be able to customize the kernel.. But the huawei site still only delivers the 3.0.8 kernel that's there since I first got my honor and checked their site.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
yes, you can, i did XD yes, my imei its 0, you should NEVER erase the bootloader section, or format sd from miui rom :| i suggest you to backup your imei, and for what i ve read, the imei number is stored in 3 .img file, in a partion hidden in the bootloader partition :| its so stupid to store the imei number in the hard disk -.-

Concerning the b919: the battery life its better than gb b876, i reach the 4 days of low-middle use.. but with wifi on, and with heavy use (stress test use XD) i can reach only 18 hours, when with gb, 1.5 days XD i suggest you to apply v6 supercharged with nitro lag nullifier, and the program called sgs screen booster from market :) with correct values, the screen its super responsive, but sometimes it wont reconize one touch :| and if u want you can add this lines to build prop :)

# Increase overall touch responsiveness

debug.performance.tuning=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

# Raise photo and video recording quality

ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000

# Raise JPG quality to 100%

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

# Render UI with GPU

debug.sf.hw=1

# Decrease dialing out delay

ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=1000

Ah, i forgot the miui launcher.apk now its avaible for all ics devices!

http://www.mediafire.com/file/8036od24zzwi72i/MiHome_095beta_100_1.apk

hope this can help :)

:O yes! the kaefert kernel for u8860! :) maybe with swap and zram enabled so we can use that ( i think with a minimum of swap 128mb or so, we can handle better the ics upgrade) , and with some governors and i\o scheduler to play with!:D

btw. how can one modify the build.props with stock updates? can you unpack and repack the UPDATE.APP packages?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
ç_ç no chance to have only this 3 things? without overcloking function (because we have an overclokked core, the qsd8250t its an overclokked version of 8250, so its risky overclock for me) only smartass v2 governor or hyper one, with deadline i\o scheduler ç_ç

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

you can modify your build.prop, or with rom toolbox (requires root) or you can go to /system with root explorer, mout R\W, copy the build prop in the sd card, copy in your pc, modify it with notepad ++, and replace the one in your \system :)

Is it possible to port sense 4.0?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
possible yes.. but its so difficult, and this require much time..with our small community i dont think :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
well about a custom kernel: It can only be done if we get the kernel sources from huawei to start from. with the old kernel sources that are available we can only create kernels with which the new camera won't work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
kaefert, the new camera its working with old 3.0.8 sources :| i ve installed it in my old miu rom.. but, i dont remember if the quality was good as the new one.. :| i dont think that huawei will relase the source of the new kernel.. they didnt relased 2.6.35.7 kernel sources too.. maybe we have to wait for new genokolar modified kernel..

edit: the new kernel its 3.0.8 too o.o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
lol, I accidentally hit the thanks button instead of reply ;) well yes the kernel version is still 3.0.8, but still it contains new modifications that the kernel of the previous official ROMs did not contain. and they are obliged by the GPL (licence of the linux kernel) to publish the sources of any modifications for wich they publish binaries. they officially published the binaries now, so they need to publish the sources as well. But those chinese guys seem have the oppinion that they do not need to abide to these licensing terms.. but well thats nothing new as you said they also didn't give us kernel sources for the 2.3.x ROMs...

who is this genokolar? I don't think that he can make a custom modified kernel with the new HDR-camera without the sources.

EDIT: Damn, the restoring to my previous MIUI-ROM didn't work, seems to be a radio firmware problem, since he is not asking me for a PIN and hangs after a minute. So I'll gonna flash the "U8860 ICS 4.0 Cambodia Demo version" stock ROM and try to restore my MIUI installation afterwards again, I guess that way I should get my old radio back.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
kae, did u managed to get working your u8860? o.o

Genokolar or genoklar, i dont remeber, its a miui dev that give us the custom kernel for 2.3.x, the anzi boot image its his 3.0.8 kernel, he made the recovery that we use, new one for the b919..so its a guru for this phone XD like cedesmit for hd2 i think XD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Yep, worked as expected

Hi all

I did install the B919 chinese rom and here is my return ... :

Fast and stable comparative with the B913 one...

No gapps, i installed some of and everything works BUT google play...

When i launch it, it start and then go back to from where i did launch it...

Is there any issue for that ?

Thanks to all for the time spent to all...

worked fine for me, just flashed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip. Although I had to manually install gmail & google maps afterwards from the play market, don't know why they where not installed automatically by flashing above gapps file, but since the installation from play store worked fine, it didn't really matter to me.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lykkis:
I am currently running the international B919 update since it was released, and so far it's far more stable than the previous leaked russian one. Had some crash with browser and 1 or 2 reboots, other than that it's been smooth sailing. And it has gapps installed along with most european languages. Running it rooted by the way.

Radioversion is 404029 on this, I presonally don't think the chinese version is 'better' than this. So for anyone who want to try 4.0.3 on their U8860 just flash it and give it a try. It looks good, is smooth, works good (apart from some app crash and a few reboots). The phone works with HSDPA everytime I go off wireless at home, older russian one wanted only to connect to Edge and the camera is better than before.
