Hi,

My Honor 2 was rooted, no custom recovery or custom rom, just stock ICS. I then didn't use it for a couple of months. Decided to check it out again. I plugged it in to a charger(it was flat) and it turned on and charged, but almost evey app was force closing(Chrome, Play Store, Root browser, Link2SD, etc.). I tried factory reset, but it didn't work. Absolutely NOTHING got deleted. I tried unistlling things, with apparent success, but then on reboot they were all be back. I can't write files to the internal SD, Windows sees it, but then when I try to paste/delete/copy a file it says the device is not responding. I tried flashing Huawei ROMS, but nothing worked. I then managed to install the Chinese recovery, after many issues, and have tried flashing multtiple ROMS(XIUI, Batty86 B709, CleanRom) since. All of them have the same issue. They just get stuck at the boot animation(like stuck, 15 minutes booting, pulled battery, restarted, and again nothing). I then tried to unlock the BL, which worked first time, and tried flashing PAC Man ROM to a status 7 error. I then gave up and came looking for help, so, can anyone help?
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
I sounds like your Internal Storage is broken,no longer in working order.

So the only thing you had to do was sending it back to the store, but now you made it worst with trying to flash a Custom ROM's on it.

So i hope for your sake that they still gone make your phone without cost's.
[Android General] IronTiga:
So is there any ROM that can use my SD Card as android storage? So can I just bypass internal storage and only use SD card(I know it'll be slower, but at least if it works...)
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Thats not a problem with Huawei phones, just go to Settings and then to Storage and then click on Default storage location, and then select SD card and restart your phone,

now everything will go strait to your SD card, when you install big Apps and such, so if you have already installed Apps it's best to copy the Android folder to the SD card.

And then you can delete the Android folder on your Internal Storage.
[Android General] Skatron:
Hello, i just put B804 on my honor 2, and install chinese recovery. Then i follow your steps to install GAPPS but when i reboot i cant find playstore, only gmail and google settings appear :S

I try to root phone with recovery and again all its ok but no icon appear when reboot.

What i must do to solve it?

Thx u a lot :D
[Android General] Skatron:
finally i instaled google play, but i dont manage to root my phone, try motochopper and failure ("There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.") , genotools reboot but no root, with recovery it say its correct but no root after reboot. And with anzhiroot fail about 67% after reboot on recovery.....

How u root it?

Thx
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Root Genius has to work, it works for me with B709 Stable, and then you use the KingUser App, that comes with Root Genius.

The KingUser App is the same as SuperSU, so don't install SuperSU.

And Google Play Store is no problem, i used the the App Back-up before i installed B804 Stable, and backup everything including Google Play Store and Google Play-services, then i did a

Factory data reset and a Erase internal storage (do not forget to make a copy of the backup on your computer), and then after flashing to B804 i started Back-up and put back my Apps that i want and

Play Store, and now everything works perfect.

And all without Rooting my phone.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Whats the use of helping people (IronTiga and Skatron) if they don't answer me and say if it helped or not?
[Android General] Gman2oo6:
I noticed you say the App Back-up you use

But what app is that ?

From HiSuite or is it in Appstore ?
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Like i said on My Forum, it's the APP that came with your Phone.
[Android General] Gman2oo6:
Lol ok didn't see that one

Well got it working now but a view things don't work

1: Themas cannot be changed

2: Sync with my Google account doesnt work

3: Google playstore cannot be installed using Recovery6.0........

so don't see what i do wrong here

Started up with wiping cash and the rest

Put the map dload on SD card and let it update

it is on
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
1. Themas cannot be changed is normal for European version Ascend G615, does work on Chinese model Huawei Honor 2 U9508, thats because B804 is the Chinese version.

2. I do not know.

3. Again you HAVE to use the Back-Up App of the one that came with ALL Firmwares B5** and B6** and B7** and B8** all, so if you have backed up everything with

the Back-Up App, you only have to put the backup folder (HuaweiBackup) back on internal storage, or you make (only if you have a bigger SD Card

then internal storage) your SD Card the Default Storage location.

Then you Start the Back-Up App and put Google Play Store and Google Play-services back on your Phone, so that you have Google Play, and maybe then Sync with

your Google account works again.

And please don't install Chinese recovery with recovery6.0.1.9_AscendHonor2.exe on your phone because you don't need that, again like i have put on my forum on the first page

"and now Google Play works and i do NOT have to install Chinese recovery, so if you had a old Firmware on your phone before you installed the New Firmware, you do not need

Chinese recovery, just use the App Back-up that came with the Firmware.

You don't need Chinese recovery to root your phone"

If you have put Chinese recovery with recovery6.0.1.9_AscendHonor2.exe back on your phone, you need to put original recovery back on your phone, that you also can read how

to do it on the First page of my forum.
[Android General] ftatv:
When I tried to made a backup only appear google play, but google play services never appear.

Before I did a backup, install 804, then restore the backup, but I couldn't sync conctacts.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Strange, but i never put my Contacts on my phone, i only had it on my SIM card, so maybe thats why i did not have that problem.

I do not know about that Google Play Services never appear, in B709 just use Back-Up to backup everyting and then copied HuaweiBackup

folder to your SD-Card and then go to Settings and then Backup & reset and then click on Factory data reset and Erase internal

storage, and then click on Reset phone.

And then:

1. Plug the phone in the computer.

2. Unpack the archive with the firmware and throw dload folder to the root of the memory card.

3. Unplug the phone from the computer.

4. In the phone menu - Settings - Storage - Software Update - SD card Upgrade (or Settings - About phone -

System update - (Local update) Update via SD Card).

5.The phone will reboot and begin the upgrade process and you will see the following picture (be patient it can take a few minutes).

And then when you are in B804 you copy HuaweiBackup folder back to internal folder and run Back-Up and he will put everything back on your

Phone, including a working Play Store.

And then almost everything will work again, and i know for SURE that Play Store will work then.

But you have NOT put Chinese recovery back on your phone i hope????
[Android General] ftatv:
I followed your procedure, and the result was google play work, but contacts in my google account does not show in contacts app.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Sorry i do not know how to fix that, i think you have to live without that.
[Android General] Zakraket:
Maybe you can help:

I came from a custom B509 rom with chinese recovery. I turned to normal recovery to try some of the ROMs on the first page. B804 wouldn't install and turned my phone to chinese after 2nd try. B709 installed, but it was in Chinese.

I had to go back to standard B509 ROM (using the chinese android update option from the chinese settingsmenu)... first to be able to reinstall chinese recovery.

Then I reinstalled chinese recovery, and installed Tigerlei B804. My phone properly booted into this ROM, but after a reboot I get the Huawei Ascend logo when I:

1- turn on the phone

2- use volup+voldown+power

3- use volup+power

So I can't seem to go into recovery.

In the third option it seems the phone is still in fast boot since I still get the USB-sound when I connect it to USB. It doens't make this sound in the first 2 options.

On this page it is explained how to fix this, but the link to the unbrick-rom is down

http://www.sorexblog.altervista.org/soft_brick.php

Any help?

I'm also trying this tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28719715

But the only thing I can get the phone to respond to is fastreboot.exe (it boots f.e. with fastboot reboot-bootloader, but not with adb reboot)
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Wow unbelievable how hard is it to put him on English in Settings:eek:

You really made a BIG mess of everything haven't you?

But sorry i can't help you if you tried everything on the first page.

You can go to THIS forum to get help making your phone working again.

Simple UI 2.0 u9508

Thank you for your post. I have used it as reference for awhile now. I was also able to use v root to install super su. One question though why has the 2.0 Simple UI function removed. It would be a nice addition to the honor 2. :confused:
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Your welcome:)

Good to hear you have rooted your phone.

EmotionUI 2.0 is not removed from B804 that you can download from my Forum, so sorry i do not know what you are talking about, or do you mean something different?
[Android General] TheEprom101:
Simple UI

Maybe you are unaware of the simple UI feature that is developed by huawei. The feature is added to UI 2.0 but is missing on the B804 firmware. I added a picture of the Simple UI. If the user long press on the screen you will notice 5 icons the sixth is missing icon. The icon is supposed to be simple UI
[Android General] TheEprom101:

[Android General] AmigaWolf:
That's good news, how did you fix it?
[Android General] frizti:
I want to know aswell how you fix the contact sync issue.

I had problem going to B804 and losing notification switches when i followed the route mentioned before.

Solved it by going from B509 to B703 and then to B804, but no luck on the contact sync issue.
[Android General] TheEprom101:
Loaded B709 from English recovery "boot"

Loaded Chinese recovery

Run Chinese recovery option 4, option 1, option 2, option 4 ;)

Load SuperSu 2.01 or whatever you use from Chinese recovery "boot"

Loaded gapps-jb-20130812-signed from Chinese recovery "boot"

Backup all data+apps with titanium backup

Loaded Custom B804 "with added simple UI" from Chinese recovery "use English recovery for Official roms"

Use titanium backup to selectively restore Gapps and contact sync. calender sync and so on.

login to play store, update all apps

No need for English recovery unless I load an official rom.

Hope this helps good luck if you get gapps errors you can use titanium backup to fix the associated errors or missing functions.
[Android General] rickie85:
Hey, that simple UI looks nice, but could you tell me where to find that custom B804 ? All i find is the orriginal dload version.

Thanks
[Android General] frizti:
Tried to restore gapps etc with titanium from backup made on b703, but to much errors.

I've read that B804 is not ment for europe, hence the missing gapps.

Will stick to B703 for now untill an official european stock rom will be released (if it will happen).
[Android General] TheEprom101:
official updated rom

Yes it can be a head ache. I built my own rom but I don't come close in comparison to the Huawei programmers. I'm hoping an official updated rom will come out soon with the added features.

Don't use B709 it has overheat lockup problems.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Never had problems with B709, and i played a lot high end games on it.
[Android General] TheEprom101:
It has known issues

Its not BS.....It has known issues of lockups from high heat. I have a first gen glory II that would lockup among allot of other people. I also read about the bug in change log.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Ok.....I was able to mod the Official B804 but I know now why Huawei left out the Simple UI. If you look at the pictures below you can see the icon text is cut off and the widgets get cut off too. Everything works good including sync. I hope the next official update will address the issues. So smooth......BADA$$

- flash rom MIUI (option 2 and 4 and choose the file)

- wipe cache (otpion 5 and 1)
[Android General] crisis_trustee:
Where can I get this "simple UI"?

Could you give a link with "simple UI"?

Thank you in advance.
[Android General] wladymeer:
Phew... I was really optimistic regarding "official" updates... However, ROM after ROM, it seems to me that B108 (yep, 108) that came with my phone worked just perfectly... I'm tired of looking for work-around for a things that should be straight-forward on every phone. After upgrading my phone to B704 I never got synced with Google accounts, Notification panel wasn't working so I used some app from Google Store where GPS couldn't be activated directly...

So... I'm on B704 at the moment, what's the procedure of going back to B107?
[Android General] Frigorio:
TWRP recovery and unofficial CM-10.1 beta release

Hi AmigaWolf and thanks for your useful thread.

I just want to let you know that there's an alternative to old chinese recovery...

I'm talking about the TWRP 2.6.3.0 port by Mangusta86 (aka Marco Fassi).

And, by the way, he also ported an unofficial CM-10.1 beta release... I'm trying it for a couple of weeks and it run quite flawlessly...
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Sorry i did not answer quicker, but i do not have my Huawei Honor 2 anymore.

And the procedure is simple:

1. Plug the phone in the computer.

2. Unpack the archive with the firmware and throw dload folder (B107) to the root of the memory card.

3. Unplug the phone from the computer.

4. In the phone menu - Settings - Storage - Software Update - SD card Upgrade (or Settings - About phone -

System update - (Local update) Update via SD Card).

5.The phone will reboot and begin the upgrade process (be patient it can take a few minutes).

If you see a lot of Chinese letters after you boot, it means that you have installed Chinese recovery with recovery6.0.1.9_AscendHonor2.exe,

and you have to replace Chinese Recovery like you see above.

After the update the phone will reboot and start (also be patient).

Ok i will look at it (maybe).

And sorry i only put official Firmwares on my forum not Custom ROMS (Firmwares), for that you have to go to HERE.

Hi,

E-mail/gmail/viber/hangouts push, wifi sleep works fine on this B804?

Thx!
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Sorry for the long wait guys.

Yes just buy a cheap ass SD Card en put your Firmware on that and then flash your Phone.

For me does Apps E-mail/gmail, work perfect Wifi i do not know because i disable my Wifi if i do not use it, and have never tested viber/hangouts push, so do not know.

I just installed U9508_EmotionUI_1.6_V100R001CHNC00B709 on my G615/U9508 and it seems that most things are working but I'm not able to use 3G but I can make phone calls.

First I had installed a custom rom and I had the same problem with that one, that's why I installed the official ROM but I still have this problem.

What can be the problem ?

Edit: Where can I edit the apn settings, that's why it's not working I guess ?

Edit2: Problem solved, I installed an app Tweakker and with that app you can set the apn, etc.

Is there any benefits updating my rom?

Hi, i still using b115.... I have used some B70x updates, and battys b709, and sorex b706 but i got quite dissapointed with every rom.

Ive seen theres some new roms, but im not sure if i will get any benefit, im afraid of battery drainiing, and low performance...

So,can someone tell me anything about those new roms?

Does B70x + PurePerformance combo make any difference?

Or i just should stay with ics?
[Android General] anddog007:
Well, I'm using battys rom now for a few days and it's doing it's job, battery seems ok.

My question to you is what problems did you encounter ?
[Android General] sgtdanielc:
about battys rom

Hi.

I used it for about a month, and at the begining it worked fine, but, after some time, it started lagging, and when i used apps such as waze an maps, location didnt work fine.

(even cleaning cache, and tweaking some configurations)

Battery duration was.... like 17-20 hrs, with b115 its like 20-27hrs.

i´ve noticed also that when u use battery saver mode, in battys rom, its a hell of lag, unlike b115, in which the device stills works smoothly.

Maybe, other users didnt encounter these problems, but i did.

Im waiting for parker´s rom FlatDesign B804 v2 feedback, and i may intall it, meanwhile, ill still in b115.
[Android General] anddog007:
Thanks for letting me know this, maybe I'm gonna install this ROM.

EDIT: I just installed FlatDesign B804 v2, I'm in a testing period now :)

I was surprised how fast this rom was installed, this rom was installed in less then 10 minutes :S

Edit2: So how does this work, you can choose between Nova Launcher and Better Launcher ?

But if I select Better Launcher then I don't see icons to make a phone call ?

Edit3: Scratch the last edit I did, stupid of me, I had to put the icons by myself on the home screen.
[Android General] ugatsz:
I tried many 4.2.2 rom, and all were eating the battery, and the e-mail,gmail,hangouts push service did not work properly, so i went back to 4.1.2, and stayed there. Others have written in the B804 the push service is solved, but the battery consumption remained still the same.
[Android General] sgtdanielc:
Let me know more

How about battery life? location , and call-sms?

PLease, test it, and let me know any issues u find and maybe i install it . :)

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Which 4.1.2 rom? B509? Does it have good battery consumption? Im considering parker´s Clean B804, or stock b509.... Tell me your experience please.
[Android General] ugatsz:
I put THIS on. It works, my wife using it, sometimes freezes, but not more than the others. Battery life better than any other 4.2.2.

I used stock B509 too, but if i remember correctly some usual thing didn't work, like location service, notification panel,etc, but it was long time ago.

Hi all

I've downloaded B509 Stable and i saw that there are 2 directories (one dload and one vendor_dload) with different UPDATE.APP files. Also in the included German .pdf says for a two-steps installation with both UPDATE.APP . So, my question is : do i need to make the two-steps installation or just the one as you describe in the first page ? Thank you very much (sorry if you already answered the question....i didn't find it)

Rebooting!

Hi all

I've downloaded B509 Stable and I saw the 2 directories described as: one dload and one vendor_dload. Decided to install dload. So, my problem is : after 3 days installed my phone reboots everytime I log into FB not 1 or 2 times but 5 times sometimes, others 3 times, it's annoying. Questions here: Do i need to make a new installation? Is there any other way to solve this? I am a little dummy about this (have to say). Everything else is going fine, installed any app I desired for example. Thank you for helping.

Blessings!

error with recovery6.0.1.9

Hi, I've tried to flash the phone from B704 to B709 with the intention to flash to B804. However recovery gives an error (red box). Then I found the option to reset the Dalvik cache, but that gives an error as well (blue box). Anyone know how to continue?

Sidenote: I'm not sure if this could be handy, but in my quest I came up with a site that has a more detailed description of the recovery tool:

How long is it supposed to sit on huawei screen after upgrade?

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

Did u try upgrading, and if so, how long did it stay on huawei logo? Thanks.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Strange, but i am using a OnePlus One phone since July 2014, and sold my Huawei Honor 2 U9508, so i cannot check it anymore for you, i will try to update my links.

If you done it precisely like i said on the first page it cannot go wrong, and means you did something wrong, because i did it that way many times back then, with absolutely no problems.

But i see you used a custom rom, and that is your problem, if you used one that was made by Huawei i think you would not have the problem you have now.

But like i said it can't help with your phone now, it's been 2,6 years ago that i sold my Huawei Honor 2 U9508, it's a old phone now, it was released November 2012.

And the MEGA links of B709 Stable and B804 Stable still worked, and does two you had to use, not a custom ROM.

Sorry i could not help you, why not buy a new phone, a good cheap and fast one, like the Lenovo ZUK Z2, or even better a Xiaomi Mi 5s?
