I do not know what you guys or girls are doing but if you do it like i have put on the first page Rooting is easy and works.

I have don it many times now without any problem, and i have don B703 Stable and B704 Stable and B706 Beta all with AnzhiRoot_U9508.

It can be you all forgot to install the Huawei USB Drivers and HiSuite, try them first and then use Chinese Recovery or AnzhiRoot_U9508.

I updated my how to root your phone section, there you can find the link to Huawei USB Drivers and HiSuite.

Help me choose Rom

Hi

thanks very very very for your thread..

it help me the past 3 days in dealing with my wife phone as i tried many roms on it to find the best one but till now i couldn't choose one that worth to keep on phone....

as some of the roms doesn't have Arabic lang others old android version some doesn't support DLNA

on my way i noticed that not all the roms can be installed on the Chinese recovery and some of them need Chinese recovery

also when trying to install the recovery and it stacked i did press ctrl and C then N i see a " no device found " i solve it by removing the USB cable and put it again it continue installing

also i did find a rooting application called RootGenius it help me one time rooting the device when the other rooting application failed on B706 i think

the HIsuit doesn't installed from the device.. this help in install the drivers i had to download it from the huawei web site.

http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/

i find the notification panel inactive in the settings of almost all roms why this happened ????

this was some of the problems i face i shared them to help others to solve it...

now please help me in choosing a perfect Rom for this Device to make use of the hardware my device is the 2G version i need a 4.2.2 android or above if there is one. I need the rom to have Arabic Lang to write and read Arabic and must have a power saving mode and active notification panel option and good battery use

really i appreciate your help

Thanks again
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
I you have the 2GB Huawei Honor 2 U9508 and not the Huawei Ascend G615, then it is the best to install B706 or B707 (thats the Chinese version),

then you have your notification panel back (most of the time).

And if you have the Arabic language on your phone (so you have chosen Arabic language as your language), and you update your phone with

the dload method (not Chinese Recovery), then everything will be Arabic after a few clicks with your new firmware.

Also do not forget to backup your Apps and (including Google Play Store and Google Play-services) and contacts and SMS and more, and put

on your SD Card, and then update your Firmware, and then put everything back on your phone with Back-up, you will have Google Play again.

You do not need Chinese Recovery.
[Android General] ugatsz:
That did not work for me, whenever i updated my phone to a chinese version. It started in chinese always, and the English was the only option. Morelocal does not work recently, because it needs superuser privileges, or suggest some "pm command" option.

I have notification panel only in chinese versions, or custom roms.

I will stay on the B703 until i can solve my root/superuser problem(i have to find another computer, or so), and i can say the B703 more or less works fine.
[Android General] mregypt99:
if you need your system in another lang rather than english you need to root the phone try root genius it is very easy and install more locale .....

but if you need another typing lang you can install another keyboard like hackers keyboard and add your lang to it don't need to root.. that what i figured till yesterday

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

i installed the B706 on the phone allready thank you

i didn't take back up

i root the phone with the root genius

and install GAPPs

and installed Hacker's keyboard to add arabic keyboard

The question is can i add arabic lang to the orignal aosp and huwei keyboards of the devics?
[Android General] ugatsz:
Thanks, Root Genius worked for me somehow on the same computer where every other root method failed recently!

I give myself and the phone a little breath and might give another try to a newer rom, as soon as i can change the recovery.

Can someone tell me, who tried all the roms which is the latest rom whitout the "Brightness" changing?

I hate that new system that when i click to auto brightness, the slide remains active,and the brightness is changing by moving the slide. With that i cant set the bightness properly, because when i move the slide the max, the brightness remains too high in indoor, doesn't reduce the brightness enough,

when i move to the middle, the brightness remains too low outdoor, it doen't increase the brightness enough.

I tried the B706, it has the new system, so maybe B704, B705 could be the latest one.

AmigaWolf?

Thanks in advance!
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
I do not know, you have to try it then.

Sorry ugatsz i do not know what was the last one were the auto bright works like you like it.

Thanks guys for the Root Genius tip, i have put it on the first page.
[Android General] ugatsz:
Thanks, if i remember correctly, u had B704 on your phone, do you remember what kind of system it had?

Are you satisfied with the recent brightness system on your phone? Haven't you noticed that issue what i noticed? Whats your opinion about that?

Thanks!
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
I don't know, i think B704 had the same as B706, and i have him on Half brightness setting, i just click on Brightness icon in the notification

panel to have full brightness if i see not enough on my screen when the sun shines in the summer.

Is HuaWei_USB_Driver compatible with windows 8.1? because I ran and nothing happens... just show loading bar but nothing comes out more.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Have you first installed the Huawei USB Drivers and HiSuite?

And you can try this:

Then if he ask something about 1 and 2 option after step 5, and nothing happens do this:

Press CTRL+C then N. And it should start.

Sorry i do not know, i use Windows 7 x64 and not Windows 8, but normally it is compatible with Windows 8.
[Android General] K_Kevin:
Ya i got it THANKSSS... I'm back to Original Recovery, I had no USB drivers... But now i dont know how install Emotioun UI... could u tell me?

It's supposed to put "dload" in the SD and came into recovery and it install automatically but not. I dont know, if i go to update from SD show error and da SD disappears. (From recovery)
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Emotioun UI is only a Launcher not a firmware, you mean i think you want to install a new Firmware like B706 or B707?

This is not so hard, just follow the instructions:

1. SD card of at least 2GB

2. Phone with a charged battery at least 50%

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.

be patient it can take a few minutes.

First backup all your Apps and your Massages and Browser history and Call logs and more with Back-up,

thats a App that came with your phone.

After the update the phone will reboot and start (also be patient).
[Android General] K_Kevin:
thanks for ur support!

[Android General] tallnuttoz:
Can't get this to work

Hi,

my phone has Android 4.1.2 and there is no option to update from SD card, in 'storage' or 'about phone'. I have tried updating using the .zip files and dload file from recovery. The dload file is not recognised and with the .zip files I always get 'signature verification failed, installation failed' error. Can you please advise on how to fix this?

Thanks.
[Android General] tallnuttoz:
I managed to install an official rom but now it has lost root. I have tried all the methods above but cannot get root to work. They all say 'falied'!!

Any suggestions? I have done all the proper steps.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
It sounds like you do not have the Huawei usb drivers installed, does HiSuite see you phone?
[Android General] tallnuttoz:
Hi,

yes, I have drivers and HiSuite works (although it constantly asks for an update it can't install on xp...).

Is it because I don't have Chinese recovery? Should I install that?

Thanks.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
You can only install Official Firmwares with Original Recovery, Chinese Recovery is ONLY for custom Roms.

And are you still using Windows XP, may i ask why?

And which Firmware have you installed?
[Android General] tallnuttoz:
Hi,

I'm using xp because I normally only use Linux and xp the only Windows sytem I have, on a very old dual boot netbook.

I don't know what you mean by 'firmware'. Do you mean the recovery? I don't know what version that is, its in English amd came with the phone. I haven't installed and 'firmware'. I'd like to know if the phone can only be rooted if it has Chinese recovery and a custom rom? i.e. can the phone be rooted with the offical rom installed?

Thanks.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
I don't know what you mean by 'firmware'. Do you mean the recovery?: I mean B703 or B704 and so on, they call that also Firmwares.

I'd like to know if the phone can only be rooted if it has Chinese recovery and a custom rom?: If you have read my forum on the first page you would

have known that you can also root without installing Chinese recovery.

Can the phone be rooted with the offical rom installed?: yes.
[Android General] tallnuttoz:
hmmm. then I have no idea why it will not root. I can keep trying different programs, bit something seems to be blocking it. They all get to near the end of the process then fail.

I'll just keep trying.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Very strange, because you are the only one that that i know that not can root there Huawei Honor 2 / Ascend G615.
[Android General] nobrixkthxbai:
Got my new U9508. Came with build B030. I've got both official B107 and B703 ready. Just a few quick questions regarding the upgrade:

1. Do I need to root for a clean install? Or do I just chuck the B107/B703 in the sd and it'll do it itself?

2. What's the story with chinese recovery? Do I need to bother with it at all for a one time flash/upgrade?

3. 107 or 703? Worth moving up to jb?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Update: Just tried installing 107. "sd card update fail". What do?
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
1. No you do not need root to install B107/B703.

2. No you do not need Chinese Recovery, you only need it if you install Custom Roms.

3. Yes it is worth moving up to jb, you get the GPU fixes in them, so more Games and Apps work with it, and they work better also.

Very strange, if you do it like i have put on my Forum then all goes well, and B706 have the Volume and Bluetooth fix, not B703.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before starting the firmware you need to have:

1. SD card of at least 2GB

2. Phone with a charged battery at least 50%

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).

First backup all your Apps and your Massages and Browser history and Call logs (including Google Play Store and Google Play-services)

and more with Back-up, thats a App that came with your phone.

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

Thats all it's that easy.
[Android General] nobrixkthxbai:
Probably messed up because I tried to upgrade from recovery instead of from within the device. There's been more drama that I've noted in the other thread. Atm, it's soft bricked. Gonna have to get into the fastboot mumbo jumbo.
[Android General] nobrixkthxbai:
Managed to undo the softbrick. Phone is restored to default B030.

Tried internal update via Settings - Storage - Upgrade... same error message. At least the phone is alive again. I'm just glad about that for now.
[Android General] nobrixkthxbai:
Is it possible to update from internal memory? I'm wondering if that might solve my problem.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
I think so, you can try, let me (US) no how it went ok?

But it can also be your microSD card that is the problem, try a different microSD card, i used a Samsung 32GB microSDHC Class10.
[Android General] nobrixkthxbai:
It was the microsd all along. Worked perfectly fine, smooth upgrade with a sandisk in place. So much drama over such a small issue. But now I'm a happy camper.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Good to hear, i am happy you are happy:D
[Android General] cyberon:
AmigaWolf, i presume you are using B709, is the bluetooth auto connect (without awaking the device) issue fixed?

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
No not yet, i did not have the time yet, i will, but first i have to backup everything.
[Android General] cyberon:
What rom are you using atm? Is it fixed on that one?
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
I use the one that you see in my description, i will put the new firmware on my phone today,

And let you know he he is.

Update: i have got great news for you, bluetooth auto connect without awaking the device is working now, i have tested it 2 times when my screen

was off.

So my bluetooth of my Huawei Honor 2 u9508 2GB was on and my Sound Logic BFH-8/5538 was off, and when i after 15 minutes click my Sound

Logic BFH-8/5538 on he auto connect without awaking the device.

So it took along time for them to fix it but it is finally fixed.
[Android General] lednard:
How can I activate de notification pane?

In rom b705 i can not activate the notification pane, do you know how can I activate for to configure the notification buttons?
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Sorry no,i think it has to do with if you have the Chinese or European version, had the same with B509 Stable (thats the European version) you can

download one from Google Play

You can install Notification Toggle or 1Tap Quick Bar -Quick Settings, or Notification Bar Deluxe or Omega StatusBar, or Widgetsoid.

and some more if you look hard enough.

And this is what Batty86 says:

To have a working notification bar, there are a few conditions to be achieved by the rom:

-the file cust/channel/*countryname*/xml/hw_defaults.xml must contain two lines:

<integer toolBoxSwitch="1"/>

<string toolBoxDisplayWidgetNameArray="com.huawei.android. toolbox,com.huawei.android.toolbox.ToolBoxProvider "/>

-the file system/build.prop must contain the line: ro.config.hw_toolbox=true

-the updater-script must contain the correct symlink, like: symlink("/cust/channel/cn", "/data/cust");

When using an original update from a country different than the phone's country, there is no symlink made, so all the files in the cust partition are not

seen by the phone, which leads to no notification bar and other issues!

In a custom rom the symlink is forced in the updater-script, so if everything else is ok, everything works!

Also, if someone flash eg my rom, and clean data after flashing, the symlink leads to a deletion of the cust partition, so again we have no notification bar

and so on.

I hope it's a bit more clear now
[Android General] lednard:
Thanks

Thank you very much, you saved me, notification toggle works very well for me.

[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Sorry then you can do 3 things:

1. Buy a Bluetooth Car System that works good with the Huawei Honor 2.

2. Buy a different Phone that works good with your Bluetooth Car System.

3. Turn on your Huawei Honor 2 display, so that he will pair with your Bluetooth Car System.

hi all,

i am Hauwei noob...

i want to but this phone for my mom and i need the GPS to work! (not like THL and IOCEAN devices...)

and i have seen that there is a way to install 4.2.2 on this device but the wifi is not working yet?

thanks
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
On my phone and many other people the GPS and Wifi and Bluetooth works good.

Do you have the Chinese version or the European version?

The 2GB version is always the Chinese version.

i have none.. i want to buy a good phone for my mom...
[Android General] giancarlo_f:
Thanks AmigaWolf for this clear thread.... I have upgraded my wife's U9508 form stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 to custom rom B709 with your clear description. Everything works fine, even removed some Chinese bloatware.....

My wife asked me what I have done with here phone..... "it's so fast and snappy".
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Ow sorry i misread that you want to buy this phone for your mom, updating has to be not a problem, but sometimes it can be you will loose your

Notification Panel, and you can install a Notification Panel from Google Play, like you can see above.

Your welcome, and good to hear your wife is happy:D

If you have the European version the only way to fix that is using patched rom.

Lock

Hi,

I Just started playing with my Honor2. When I got it was on ICS and i updated to JB 4.2. Then i rooted and put Chinese recovery. then i install MIUI but I didnt really like it so i thought come back to JB4.2. but while I try the dload folder with official recovery it saying the phone is in lock. and I cannot flash the official b709. What will be the issue??????
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
You first have to install the original recovery back on your phone to use dload Method, you only have to look at the first page of my forum to see that.

But if you have put the original recovery already back on your phone and have this problem then i do not know, you have not unlocked the boatloader i hope?

Because if you did it cannot be undone from what i know.
[Android General] binoj.6066:
Right now iam using pac rom i think with out unlocking bootloader i cant install those rom.

I can install any other rom except official huawei 4.2
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
That means you still have the Chinese Recovery on your phone, and not the original recovery.
[Android General] binoj.6066:
When i try to restore official b709 i change to official recovery. I cant go to official b709. Thats why i am playing with chinese recovery and roms

Sent from my U9508
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Are you sure you have the original recovery on your phone when you try to flash to B709 or lower?

Because it sounds you still have Chinese Recovery on your phone when you try to install B709 on your phone, try a older version first, and if that

won't work then i think you still have Chinese Recovery on your phone when you try to flash your phone with dload method.
[Android General] binoj.6066:
No with official recovery i did. I can post a video in youtube

Sent from my U9508
[Android General] AmigaWolf:
Then you have done something very strange to your phone, and thats also why i do NOT use the Custom Roms for the Huawei Honor 2 U9508,

because you can have big problems, and i know for sure it won't run any better, because they only removed some Apps and put some new Apps

on it.
