[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arrgghh:
You bought a chinese version of the phone so you took your own risk. This phone was released for the chinese market, custom made for Unicom not for european customers. If you want to have a western version, you should have waited until it is officially released or buy htc or motorola. I am using google store on the g600 and it works just fine.

It is like you have bought a car from UK and complain about having the wheel at the right end !!

And you are wrong, it is not a global business. Look at LTE frequencies, there are all different. If you buy a LTE phone from US, it will not work in EU. And all the phones are now released with a specific ROM made for a specific market and MNO. It is like this and will always be like that. Most of the customers dont buy their phone online on some weird chinese website, they buy it from their local shop and want this localize for their needs. This is the way the market is going not the contrary.

Huawei dont give a s... about 10 guys that buy their phone online. Neither do HTC, LG or Motorola.

I asked for mine 6 days ago. Still no reaction.

I read the russion forum:

Where a lot of development seems to be going on. There they mention the unlock code takes from "the same day" to "6 days". So I expect mine soon.

After that I will try the diy1.4 ROMS that are listed above. They are based on the most recent official Huawi ROM with lots of rubbish removed.

Huawei G600 forum

Hi guys,

bought this mobile this week for A$265 at JB HIFI in AU, which I think is very reasonable price, especially comparing to socialist EU prices some of you were mentioning here before.

The phone comes unlocked with following specs:

HW version no: HD1U8950M VER.B

Model no: HUAWEI U8950N-51

Android version 4.0.4

Kernel version 3.0.21-perf-g07d599d-00153-g52c88e1

android@localhost#1

SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 22 10:44:15 CST 2012

Build number U8950N-51V100R001C00B942

Display is really good and thanks to generous battery phone can easily last one day. Although if you play game for straight 4 hours the battery is almost depleted. Yet there is interesting yoyo effect. If you play and battery starts to decrease and you let the phone rest for a few minutes it will jump back 20% or so.

This phone definitively deserves custom ROMs and I can only hope that some devs will start working on them soon. In the meantime can we have our own G600 forum started with section for development, unlocking, rooting guides, accessories, etc? I'd say phone of this parameters and for this price can get a huge momentum and big fan base. I personally don't know how to do it, nor have time to manage the forum, but still would like see this for our phone.

Also can confirm that code in Dial interface *#*#2846579#*#* works and can give you further info on your phone. Not sure about the root process described by -freedroid- above. But that would be actually the point of having our own forum, so we can share knowledge and manuals more effectively.

In the mean time if you have any newer info, ROMs, guides on rooting, etc, feel free to post it here.

Every one should not be taken,insult for wrong choices made​​!

If a person buys a product in China and 'clear that knows he bought it in China! And so and 'aware of problems that can be!

Here in the forum we all discuss and help each other, I think!

Is useless and stupid insult someone about these problems!

Do not believe?

So if you do not agree unsubscribe from this forum or refrain from duplicating and do stupid rumors!

In the russian forum I mentioned above, they list all kind of developments in these ROMS. I believe they are all based on the original Huawei ROM, and there seem to be no issue with them. I would dare trying them, but I am still waiting for my unlock code (7 days now:()

I will dive into it later when I have some spare time. Or do we have a Russion in the forum who could summarize the changes that led to the latests ROM, called diy 1.4.3? That is always better than using google translate.

I'm a newbie

Hello all,

I've been trying to follow all of the posts and are really appreciative of all the comments. I have a few basic questions that I'd hope you all could answer.

1. By rooting the phone, will that allow me to gain Android 4.2? Jellybean version? if so, would someone please provide the link that works?

2. also has anyone had any problems with connectivity to bluetooth devices after the phone had been rooted?

thanks for your help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwel:
Hi meanmaori,

welcome to the forum.

Answers:

1. Not really: before rooting, only Huawei can make a 4.2 ROM. By rooting the phone (or rather by unlocking the bootloader) custom ROMS could be loaded into the phone. Someone still has to make them. Right now all ROMS are 4.0.

2. No, but my phone is not rooted yet: still waiting for the unlock code for the bootloader

Does anyone have an emailadres so I can mail Huawei to ask for my unlock code?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meanmaori:
Hi Pwel,

Thanks very much for the response. If 4.0 is the only available ROM for the G600, would you mind posting the link where I can download it from? I've seen that there are a few links in the other posts, but I'm not sure which one to actually use.

Interestingly, I saw in an earlier post the Etotalk have developed a ROM for the U8590D. I sent them an email asking if we could purchase the ROM seperately and this is the response I received

"Dear Buyer,

We may consider release the rom for sales after 2 month of sales.

Please keep an eye on our site for the latest rom news.

Thanks,"

Hello @ all,

i have the U8950D with the etotalk MOD ROM.

I have received it yesterday, my first impression, good phone (hardware) with a "bad" firmware.

When i turn off the phone, and plug in the charger, the phone starts alone in the recovrery. :confused:

Is this the same with the stock ROM?

The recovery from etotalk is also bad, i can´t make a dump.

i check this in the next day´s, if i have success, i load it up to uploaded.to

i hope on a real custom ROM by a developer.

PS:sorry for my bad english

the 4.0 ROM is the one that should be on your phone: see settings -> about phone. This shows 4.0.4. for mine. Build number is U8950DV100R001C17B939.

The first letter is the network: U = UMTS (WCDMA) and C = CDMA. The last D stands for Dual Sim feature. Note that the U8950 G600 sold outsite China, is single sim. C8950D is the CDMA dual sim version. I am not sure what the N stands for.

Got my U8950D today, and have registered for a unlock code - that can take some time the get the code I understand :(

G600 Differences

Thanks buddy for your reply, I see now D stands for dual sim, so wonder whether customs ROMs will work on different models. On mine I have in app 2D Home and 2D Unlock installed, yet no slot for 2nd sim. So I assume there isn't much of a difference among those ROMs. Also in app I can see there are some other language pack available, such as Finnish, Greek, Czech, Thai, etc. So ROM is definitely meant to be international.

Being in AU with some diff frequencies I still think those diff model numbers reflect different radio capabilities. But I was wrong before :D

Also on huawei device com (cannot post url link yet) there are 4 diff types of U8950 available for bootloader to unlock unfortunately U8950N-51 is not one of them. So still waiting on someone smart to find a way how to unlock & root our phone w/o Huawei.
