Does any1 use MIUI V5? I flashed it, looks pretty nice, but i had a strange problem: when i tried to remove chinese apps, AppMaster and Titanium Backup said the phone was not rooted, same situation was trying to modify GPS.conf, but every other app said the phone was rooted, even SuperSu, RootBrowser etc. I checked permissions, changed them several times and still couldn't got root to work properly. Can enybody tell me, what i did wrong?
[Huawei Ascend P1] o-l-a-v:
I had no problems like that when using v5 MIUI. Long time ago though. But try to reinstall? You did wipe cache and dalvik before installing this?

Eventually you could try the root method that uses TWRP. Look in my first post.
[Huawei Ascend P1] luis64:
In permision set root
[Huawei Ascend P1] poncki99:
I've done everything: reflashed, wiped cache/dalvik before and after flashing, unrooted and rooted again, but still couldn't remove chinese apps. Strange... For now I got back to B706. Next weekend i'll start another round of fight with MIUI.
[Huawei Ascend P1] popcorn1122:

Hi all! Is there a how to for a novice user to flash custom rom on p1? I have p1 with b104 rom and it is not rooted. All the how to are incomplete or the files are missing :( please help I would like to flash CM10.1 or 10.2

Happy hew year to all!!!

Ps I read this thread but I do not understand the procedure from start, for instance all say the zip should be twrp enabled?! "Boot into your recovery of choice" ??? I need a guide from the start please!!! :)

I have been trying to go according to instructions in the first post but it will not even go to recovery mode, I did all as it says but it will not go to the recovery, please HELLLPPPP
[Huawei Ascend P1] o-l-a-v:
I rewrote those steps a little bit. If you don't understand it now, you should look up some information yourself.
[Huawei Ascend P1] nikods:
HEEELP

Is there any one to help? I can not follow the instructions sinvce it will not do:

→ Reboot phone to recovery: Turn on while holding volume up + volume down. Or through ADB: "adb reboot recovery"

→ Reboot phone to fastboot: Turn on while holding volume down. Huawei logo will appear and won't disappear. Or through ADB: "adb reboot-bootloader"

NOTHING Happens! It just turns on, I checked usb debuging and installed Android sdk and did as the TeamAndroid tutorial says but nothingue happens :(

Do I need to thick fast boot on ?

Tried that too, does not work, When I turn on holding up and down it flashes huawei logo and then just stays ofWindows installed new drivers when I turned it on with pover down and power button, but it also just turned on... is this it ?
[Huawei Ascend P1] nikods:
It works :)

I did, not sure how :) it still cant go into boot loader fastboot with combination of buttons but twrp manager enables me to go into it, and on installing recovery fastboot devices shows "?" instead of aset of numbers but it still flashed recovery. Do you all use TWRP and do you update it or do you use something else?

Thanks for the HOW to-s O-L-A-V :)

Hi all!

Did anyone else had problems with Google Play Store in McDonalds' AP 7.6 mod?

I have successfully installed this ROM but when I try to install (or update) any application, I get 403 error.

I don't understand Italian language so I am having some problems with finding solutions on that Italian forum where that ROM was originally posted.

Also, there is no way for me to install any original ROM (via UPDATE.APP file), and I would like to update to JB.

Intermediate pack installation always fails (I get that generic error message saying something "Version list verify fail!".

I have replaced build.prop file, but that didn't help either.

Somewhere I found that some guy managed to install Intermediate pack after he flashed his phone with P1_B118_Geno. That didn't work for me either.

Whenever I try to flash rom with UPDATE.APP file - it fails.

So it looks like that I'm now stuck with custom ROMs...

Any solution, idea and help would be much, much appreciated!

Thank you!

EDIT:

Very strange, I have restarted my phone couple of times and all of a sudden - Google Play Store is now working and my apps are currently updating. :\

But my second questions still stands, so if anyone would like to help with that... :)
[Huawei Ascend P1] alternativ:
Now I'm sure I had set extsd and I recognized it too late :) So installed back my stock ROM, made a backup to SD card and installed CM10.1 again :)

Now everything works ok except missing "quit button" in the default web browser compared to B105, where I had it.

EDIT: one more issue, I'm using Extended control and for the stock ROM everything works well, but with CM10.1 the "Airplane mode" button doesn't work.

EDIT2: my calender is being randomly deleted and I hate default sms smiles.
[Huawei Ascend P1] alternativ:
Any idea, how to avoid deleting of my calender? It occurs when internet connection is activated. Perhaps it has something to do with synchronization with Google calender? I didn't have this kind of issue with the stock ROM B105 and it's pretty annoying. Cheers.
[Huawei Ascend P1] komir:
Why don't u check www.google.com/calendar and see are there appointments -maybe you accidentally deleted them on google?Also, check which calendar is displayed on your device...
[Huawei Ascend P1] alternativ:
My google calender is empty, except of week numbers.

When I restore calender from Super backup, in calender to show I have "Phone" and "google calender", but randomly "Phone" disappear and I have to restore again.

Perhaps I'll try a different version of calender app.

EDIT: have installed latest TestUser's gapps, so will see.

But I found another issue, even the sound quality during phone call is great compared to stock ROM, I hear a big noice, if the second attendee is quite for a while and immediatelly he starts to speak again, noice gets muted.

EDIT2: latest gapps doesn't help, calender is still getting randomly deleted :(

Hi - new to this forum

Just wanted to share what I have learned, in the hope it helps anyone.

Device not recognised :- My P1 was running B339. When I managed to boot into bootloader mode the PC (win 7) device manager showed it as an unknown device - blaze). I installed adb and fastboot numerous times, mo joy. Looked for and downloaded P1 USB drivers - still no joy. Then I found a cure online - click on the unknown device - blaze, click on let me pick the type of device driver - and when the list is displayed choose mobile phone and then select Android Adapter ADB Interface and presto the phone is recognised in Bootloader mode (you must have android SDK installed with Google USB I am guessing)

This enabled me to flash TWRP

Can't flash ROM - I then tried to flash a ROM ( the CM 10.1 which OP recommended) from the SD card in my phone using TWRP - no dice, Symlink errors and other issues. Another troll on Google and found that some suggested using CWM. So I used ADB to flash a CWM img and then used it to flash the ROM - result - YES.

Am now going to use mini tools partition wizard to put an ext partition on my SD card (The P1 isn't blessed with much internal memory) and then to install Link2SD to move my apps to the SD card. (other partition methods are available as are alternatives to Link2SD !!)

Much kudos to O-L-A-V for this guide - for such a nifty little phone it's a shame there isn't much development going on for it in the West.

Oh - by the way - Hi :)

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

[Huawei Ascend P1] o-l-a-v:

[Huawei Ascend P1] danee91:
Hi Guys!

My P1 display is totally unuseful(the AMOLED panel is broken). I have CM10.2 by Spanorg with TWRP Recovery installed on my device("fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"). I dont know if the Original Recovery is deleted, or overwritten, but I think it is.

I want to upgrade to a Huawei stock recovery, and stock firmware, but I can't see the procedure during the update on the phone display.

What can I do, to have the shortest way?
[Huawei Ascend P1] fogeshan:
I'm trying to backup the stock recovery and stock rom before I flash with a custom recovery and custom rom.

When trying to boot into TWRP (without flashing it) I get a < waiting for device > message, so the cmd prompt looks like this:

C:\fastboot boot twrp.img

< waiting for device >

If I type "fastboot devices" I just get the C:\ prompt again without it listing any devices.

I'm able to reboot into the bootloader (huawei logo) using the command "adb reboot bootloader", so that's working.

I've got USB debugging enabled and the connection is set to HiSuite mode.

Version is B104

Any ideas?
[Huawei Ascend P1] danee91:
Install fastboot driver, then you can use fastboot commands.
[Huawei Ascend P1] fogeshan:
I have though...I think.

First I tried the one that's installed with HiSuite, then one that's part of google's platform tools and then finally, the one from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118 along with adb and the drivers that it wanted to install.
[Huawei Ascend P1] o-l-a-v:
If no device is found, then you simply haven't installed fastboot drivers.

Go to "computer management". Find your device. If it has a driver error, you are not done. Follow this guide: http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/

And just in case: You have actually booted your phone to bootloader (fastboot) mode, yeah? (Adb: adb reboot bootloader)
[Huawei Ascend P1] Alobalobayeah:
Try the AIO Development Tool made by me. 100% working with Win Vista/7
[Huawei Ascend P1] fogeshan:
Ok, making progress...

I found that when I get to the bootloader screen (yup, "adb reboot bootloader" is working), the driver is no longer recognised in device manager like it was when the phone was on the home screen, but instead appears under "other devices" as "Blaze". So I installed the same driver again for this and now when I type "fastboot devices" while in the bootloader (hauwei logo screen) I get:

? fastboot

I then type "fastboot boot twrp.img" and get:

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY

booting...

OKAY

finished

but nothing actually changes on the phone screen when it does this. I'm using TWRP 2.6 (the one suggested at the beginning of this thread).

If I type "fastboot reboot" after this, the phone doesn't respond - it appears to be locked up and I have to do a manual reboot.

EDIT: looks like I downloaded the wrong TWRP, although it was the same version. Downloaded the right one from the downloads section of this thread and it works now!

but now I get sd card update fail when I flash intermediatepack

this is my way

- located dload/update.app in root of sd card

- In twrp, wiped everything(Advanced mode) except micro-sd

- In bootloader, flashed stock recovery

- manual upgrade (volum +/- and power)

then I get fail ..

any idea or solution of that problem ?

Something's gone wrong with AIO Flasher Tool

Hi there

I have a problem with my Huawei Ascend P1 U9200.

I have not flashed any new roms or recovery and it is not rooted.

The phone ran out of power, so was plugged into a wall charger, then when I checked on it later the "Huawei Ascend" screen displays for a few minutes then it powers off, vibrates, red led flashes and the Huawei Ascend screen displays again. It is stuck in a boot loop and unresponsive to the power and volume buttons.

adb devices displays nothing and

fastboot reboot displays < waiting for device >

I had a similar problem when flashing my Motorola Defy, and had to do the Macgyver Hack to directly charge the battery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086953. But the U9200 has a sealed battery and it still has 11 months on the warranty so its not worth breaking the phone for just yet.

As the battery is flat I cannot boot into recovery by pressing Vol Up + Vol down + Power as it has no power. So how can you boot into recovery with a flat battery?

I bought the phone from an amazon seller called Alex Accesories, they are completely useless at customer support and are not willing to help me out. So I am hopeing someone in this thread can point me in the right direction!
