[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndronoobS3:
I think that I restore my IMEI. I put phone transfer to MPT and started restore oeminfo and it showed that operation is done. When phone reboots it shows Huawei logo which has been before when T-Mobile rom was in it but it cannot boots because that inside is stock Huawei rom which I didnt manage to install with my IMEI. Now my phone has my original IMEI but stock Huawei rom and cannot boot. I tried to force download again stock rom but it not allow (yellow triangle after unpacking).

Is there any T-Mobile rom so I can restore my phone?

EDIT:

Phone boots normally after I cleared cache in TWRP:)

I put my sim card and everything works so original Huawei rom stays. Only notification bar missing but I wont touch anything because i two days I lost few years of life finding solution:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
You should've done a full backup before hacking your imei so that after you flashed the original firmware, you can restore to your branded firmware.

It's always important to make backups.

You can add mods for the notification bar. You can find it here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-ascend-y300/

The mod is for o2 devices, maybe it'll work. Do this only at your own risk.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndronoobS3:
This mod not work for me. I will waiting to someone make possible to install original rom without touching imei. Ofcourse and Huawei must fix problems with notification bar in their rom.

I know that backup is most important but I was too quick and now I pay my stupidness:)

stock rom installation problem

I have upgraded my y300-100 from stock b164 to b182 middle east varient then b190 by ota. I found that there is no notification bar in this release. So I want go back to stock. I've collected the stock ROM from local service center. When I tried to install it from SD card, installation failed after unpacking. What to do now? Please help..

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
Even though you'll revert back to stock, there still wouldn't be a notification panel unless you'll install the vendor folder included with the dload folder. But if you want to revert back to stock, you'll have to backup and hack your imei then flash the dload folder. Then install a mod for the notification panel through TWRP.

i have got the vendor file also from the local service center but whats the reason of failed update after unpacking? any help??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dani811:
If somebody have the B178 firmware, please make a full backup and share it, because this is the last thing that can fix my phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
It means that your current firmware is not in the upgradable_versions.txt. So you're gonna have to use an IMEI Hack.

stock rom installation problem

Thanks for your reply.

if i want to go back to stock, what i have to do ??? i have the stock rom and also the vendor file. i just need the notification panel.

whats the imei hack??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
Here's what you're gonna do:

0. Firstly, you must have made a backup of your original rom through TWRP

1. Unlock your bootloader (this is really really important)

2. Flash a TWRP recovery

3. Root your phone

4. Enable USB debugging

5. Download OEMINFO-Hack-Tool-v10 from here:

http://www.modaco.com/topic/360716-oeminfo-hack-tool-v10-install-any-updateapp-20032013/

6. Switch to MTP mode

7. Make a backup of your IMEI (this is very important, make multiple copies in case anything happens) (grant adb)

8. Hack your IMEI

9. Reboot your phone

10. Place the dload folder to the root of your SD card

11. Hold Power + Up and Down volumes

12. Power off phone again after installation

13. Place the vendor folder to the root of your SD card

14. Power off phone again

15. Go to TWRP

16. Tap reboot then system

17. Swipe to install SuperSU

18. Put the imei backup to the root of the internal storage

19. Switch to MTP mode

20. Restore your IMEI (you must grant adb first)

And that's pretty much it! Good luck!

stock rom install

thank you very much for helping. is there any other way to get back the notification bar cause b190 firmware is much better than the old b164. a i can understand the above procedure except step 0, is there any tutorial for this (TWRP backup). thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
Where'd you get the B182 and B190 firmware? If you downloaded it, vendor folder wouldn't be available. You can request the firmware for B182 and B190 with the vendor folder. Then redo the steps.

What I meant at step 0 is you should have made a backup of your B164 through TWRP before flashing the B182. You should've done it earlier. The use of making a backup of the B164 is if in case you want to revert back to B164 and failed, you can restore it through TWRP.

Making a TWRP Backup is simple. First is to flash TWRP then tap Backup then check everything that is important.

now where can i get the vendor files??

one more question - i need to unlock bootloader before flash TWRP?? right
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndronoobS3:
Will be possible to make stock Huawei Y300 rom without Emotion UI or its deeply encoded in rom and impossible to remove?

Also is there any list od preinstalled apps which is safe for deleting from rom (using something like System app remover as I did in my old Galaxy GT-i5800)? I dont need Twitter and similar stuff.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
Sorry. What I meant from my other latest post was for you to request a firmware for B182 and an update for B190 to your local service center, just like what you did to your stock rom. Maybe they'll give you a dload and vendor folder.

Yes. You have to unlock the bootloader so that you can flash it and access it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dani811:
Hello. I have a question. How can I flash back the stock recovery to my phone? I have WiFi problems, and the only solution is the warranty.

Hi all, I need your helpm My Y300 doesn't work.

If I turn on shows a purple screen. Rarely starts, but the touchscreen does not work.

Please help! :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
Here's what you have to do:

1. Your bootloader must be unlocked, if it is locked, this won't help you.

2. Download the B176 stock recovery from here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dvnwg21k9ib6don/Recovery Stock [B176].rar

3. Download Android SDK:

developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

4. Go to fastboot. Hold power + up and down volumes for 10 seconds.

5. Connect your phone to your pc.

5.a extract the stock recovery rar and copy the recovery-new.img to the address of the next step.

6. Go to the folder adt-bundle-windows-x86\sdk\platform-tools then hold ctrl + shift then right click on an empty space and click open command window here.

7. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-new.img"

8. Turn off your phone and turn it on again.

Then you will be redirected to the stock recovery and do some wipes and boot you into your phone. Good luck!

You'll have to hack your imei in order to flash another firmware since your current firmware can't be upgraded with another firmware.

No problem.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

Try to search for OEMINFO-Hack Tool v10 from MoDaCo, there are instructions on how to do it.

1. Download the imei hack.

2. Unlock your bootloader.

3. Flash TWRP.

4. Root your phone.

5. Connect your phone to your PC.

6. Switch to MTP mode.

7. Backup imei.

8. Make multiple copies for emergency purposes.

9. Hack imei.

10. Flash any firmware you want for Y300.

11. Root your phone.

12. Connect your phone to your PC.

13. Switch to MTP mode.

14. Restore imei.

That's it! Good luck!

I could not follow your suggestion because my touch screen didn't work

I upgrade succesfully -> Ascend_Y300(Y300-0100_Android_4.1_Emotion_UI_V100R001C00B182_Middle_East_Channel_05011MAN)

Upgrade OK!!

But my touch still doesn't work. After that I souppose it's an hardware problem. What do you think?:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
Yeah, it could be the hardware. You better send it to your local service center. That happened to me also weeks ago. But only to the TWRP recovery.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Balthasar85:
I press volume button DOWN and power, I waited 10 sec and than I connected to USB.

I tried "flash_recovery.bat" but it doesn't work because i can't unlock the bootloader.

How can I unlock the bootloader without the touch screen working?

Tnx a lot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
Does the phone's screen work before? When did the screen stopped responding? If you are still able to boot into your phone, you can send your phone to a local service center with a warranty.

Breafly

I upgradet B182 using microsd

FASTBOOT MODE work!

RECOVERY MODE work!

Boot: after 2 minutes I can see the "choose a language" screenshoot but touchscreen doesn't work.

bootloader locked

Is there any solution for it? In your opinion...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmkzgirxp:
What recovery do you currently have? If you have TWRP and can access it, you can try to wipe everything and restore a backup. You can find a backup in this thread somewhere. Page 8, I guess... But if you have TWRP but can't access it, there's no hope left. And if you have the stock recovery, there's none also... There's a 50-50 chance that you can repair the touch screen if the problem is in the firmware because you can access the recovery, unlike mine.

When did the screen not responded? What did you do anyway?

If you have already replaced the hardware, then probably the problem is in the software. If you have already changed the firmware, then the problem is not in the firmware. May I suggest to you to send back the device to Huawei for further checking. This won't void your warranty.

Hi, Thanks for the info and link to the stock recovery. I have the Y300 with firmware version B182 - If I needed/wanted to restore the stock recovery (after TWRP) would using your one from firmware B176 work ok?

As I don't see away to backup the stock recovery (via ADB) as I need root and to get root I need to flash TWRP (once I have my bootloader unlock code, that is)

Thanks

UPDATE:

Just had a thought, I will just boot into TWRP via

Then I will be able to root, and copy the B182 stock recovery via dd, before flashing TWRP

Yes, you can. Through OEMINFO-Hack-Tool-v1. If you have 0151, you can flash ROMs of 0000 and 0100. But remember to backup your stock ROM. It won't be bricked unless you'll use the IMEI Hack Tool v10. Like mine.

Warning warning oeminfo hack-tool

I have returned my fourth phone for exchanged all because of oeminfo hack tool. I have now released that current HUAWEI Y300-0100 devices will automatically relock the bootloader weather recovery image is stock or custom after hacking imei. It doesnt matter how many time times you backup imei. The restore feature will return no backup image found eventhough it does exist.

This renders your device booting only to fastboot mode but worse of all cant accept any fastboot commands or force update from root of sd card.

I like playing alot and taking extreme risk with this phone.

You can have a go at your maximum risk or better insure the phone for only £15 a year.
