Hunting for a stock UK ROM for Huawei Y300-0100

Hi,

I'm looking for a Huawei Y300-0100 UK stock ROM for my Y300, which I bought from Carphone Warehouse.

My phone is out of action after I tried to flash a Stock-B186 ROM I found. It didn't work and my phone doesn't boot into system, I can get into recovery. I have tried:

Flashing the Huawei General firmware(from huaweidevice.com)

Flashing loads of different zips of different ROMS, none of which work

Unpacking the Huawei update.app with Huawei update extractor; it failed to make a flashable zip with "No suitable files found. Check devices.xml"

Spending a day googling on xda, modaco, etc. for stock or other roms, but none of the 9 roms I've tested work so far.

I'm running Windows 7 on amd64. The model code of the Huawei is U8833.

Please could anyone suggest what else I could try? Where else could I look for the stock UK ROM for the Huawei Y300-0100?

Thanks for your attention.

DHCP problem on Rooted Note 2

I have spent days trying to troubleshoot this problem and my fiance is ready to kill me if i dont stop messing with it..lol

Here is my problem. I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy Note 2 with Moon Rom installed. A Sprint Epic 4g with Pac Man Rom installed, and MotoACTV 8GB watch with custom Rom installed. I am using the Note 2 for WiFi hotspot for the other two devices. I have both the Wi-Fi hotspot and bluetooth tether checked and running on the Note 2. I changed permissions on dhcp-run-hooks file in the system to include others on all three devices. I was able to get the epic to assign an address of 192.168.1.3. Internet is confirmed to work on there. I was able to get the MotoACTV to connect with an address of 192.168.1.6, but i cannot get internet to work for any app even though it says its connected. I was able to connect my Mac to the Note 2 through a bluetooth connection, but i cannot get the MotoACTV to connect for internet even after installing a bluetooth PAN app. (Thats a programming issue for the MotoACTV). I have tried assigning various static addresses in the MotoACTV with no success. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know, i would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for the help. I flashed the stock rom but my phone is still not working properly. It loads up almost entirely as it should, but gets stuck on the Samsung logo with the flashing blue background. I tried flashing both the stock rom and kernel but I am having issues getting the kernel to flash in Odin. :confused:

Win 7 64 bits Flashtool drivers SOLVED

I'm writting this just to leave a replay in case this error happens again:

I managed to execute the drivers from my office's desktop also win 7 and 64 bits, so I think this was an issue with my laptop, may be because my motherboard doesn't allow virtualization? I don't know.

I've also tried installing the flash tool and drivers on a win xp SP 2 and worked succesfully, I just dind't try flashing my phone from there..

Can I use a glass screen protector if my screen is already scratched?

My new phone just got a 1cm scratch that isn't so bad, and it's almost invisible after applying a cheap screen protector. However, I'd like a really good screen protector. If I get a glass screen protector, will it magnify the appearance of the scratch or hide it? Thanks.

Yeah fastboot shows nothing. When I enter fastboot devices, cmd just goes to the next line without doing anything, and I've tried using usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports. I'm gonna try a different computer or returning to stock, or in the worst case relocking my bootloader and trying to unlock it again using fastboot. Any other suggestions?

Well, I expect it to create a very small air gap. It's this I'm worried about. Could it possibly force the screen protector to have a bubble? (Note: a cheap plastic screen protector applied with no bubble, but glass is rigid.)

Did u check on wipe data..or a clean install and which os version u running earlier and which os version are u flashing on device

Go to recovery by home + power + vol up..

for kernel use fastboot..

And remember only to flash a stock kernel..

Also try sending via file explorer use any1 u like..

and see does it sends or not.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

that means the device is not in fastboot mode..

So try to boot it manually in fastboot mode and see..

if that doesn't work then

Yeah relocking and then unlocking is the best option..as i do have a doubt that it's not unlocked properly..

Like s- off but no access to the botloader or fastboot.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

U can use cwm for flashing and twrp also..

And backup before root will only backup ur phone memory..

u can that by booting in stock recovery.

Yes u can use that to install cwm after root.

Did you have your device encrypted before the update? Can you boot into recovery mode? If so, factory reset in recovery might wipe the encryption and allow the device to at least boot into a state that is capable of making a connection with your PC to use ADB or fastboot to fix the issue.

I'm going to give it a shot, however I've read that EDL Mode doesn't work with version Android 8.0 and above.

Would this affect me even though I am doing this physically? My Nokia 8 is (or was) on Android 9 Pie :(

Thank you but im trying not to factory reset since there is some important pictures on the device
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I believe you are more than likely past the point of saving your data. Anything the repair shop does to the device will almost certainly require flashing the device, this process will also almost certainly require wiping/formatting the device.

So, these are the real options that you are looking at.

1) pay the shop to fix the device and lose your data in the process.

2) reset the device yourself, you will lose your data, but you might also fix the device yourself and save yourself the expense of paying the shop.

It boils down to, one way you lose your data and spend money in the process, the other way, you lose your data but it doesn't cost you anything in the process.

But, it is also true that, in the end, it is probably better to pay the shop to ensure that the device is at least fixed correctly, even if you do lose your data in the process, but, if they have the right tools and if they know the right tricks, they can probably pull your data directly from the chip in your device before flashing/repairing the device.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

I don't know, I don't know the right stuff about Nokia devices, none of them. If your sources for information are reliable, I'd take their word for it. Then again, it might be possible to downgrade the device to 8.0 in the process so that the method works, but, I don't know the chances of that working, it is just a thought.
[General Questions and Answers] iVolgin:
Im going to go to the shop and see what they will say

also is the sd card in the phone also encrypted?

if not then i atleast have some photos

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you mean external sdcard, that should be fine, but your internal may be encrypted for whatever strange reason, if you did not encrypt yourself. If it is encrypted somehow, the data may be "mostly" retrievable, in the process, you may get lucky and be able to pull some kind of encryption key from the device, then use that encryption key to decrypt your retrieved data. It is quite possible, but certainly not 100% retrieval, unless you are very lucky.

If you didn't encrypt the device yourself, then it is probably because there may be some form of encryption involved in the update services on your device that only lasts long enough to complete the update/reboot process before being removed at completion. If so, if your device stores recovery logs, in those logs you may find clues to the encryption and might find your encryption key to decrypt your data, recovery is usually involved in the update process, even if you never actually "see" recovery mode displayed.

Are you certain that you can't get your device recognized by your PC? If we can make a connection happen, you may be able to do more of this for yourself than you think.

Do you know if your device is an A/B partitioned device?
[General Questions and Answers] iVolgin:
I didnt encrypt my device i just put a lock screen password

If i connect it to my pc while it is saying type password then the pc recognized it as a mass storage device in device manager but if i put it into recovery mode(normal not custom) it says the usb device is malfunctioning

i dont know if its A/B partitioned or not. first time i have heard of it

im going to try to get my sd card and put in an sd card reader hopefully its not encrypted aswell

Idk if this will help but this did happen to me once before

i was trying to install a custom rom but my device was bricked

when it was finally unbricked it then said type password to decrypt and also had no keyboard

but at that time i had twrp recovery installed (which is the first thing im going to do after this is fixed) and thankfully was able to backup my data to an sd card

and then i factory reset my device.

Didnt think it was ever going to happen again since i locked my bootloader and uninstalled twrp so it was clean stock rom

This is so idiotic it says type password but there is no keyboard :mad:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, if you can get a TWRP for your device to work, if one exists, you could easily fix this. That is why I asked if you were certain the device can't be recognized by PC.

The lockscreen having a password is definitely the culprit behind the encryption. Deleting the password will bypass that if you can get to it to erase it.
[General Questions and Answers] iVolgin:
i just read my sd card and thankfully its not encrypted

i just remembered something thing the last time when this happened when it was bricked i unbricked it by flashing a dload folder

do you think if i flash it again the keyboard will come up? i dont have a reason why it should come up there but im just desperate.

also will flashing the dload folder factory reset my phone?

sorry i dont know that much to begin with and its been a while since i did any of this kind of stuff

And Thank you you have been a great help i really appreciate it.<3

I'm not quite sure if that is EDL or Download Mode :confused:

Anyone knows how to get gmail dark mode working on android 9 and can somebody explain why google doesn't support gmail dark mode on older android versions? I have read that there is api limitations, but that based on my minimal knowledge of android seems kind of dumb.
[General Questions and Answers] iVolgin:
Thanks Alot man:D
[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
Seems that you cannot activate dark mode on any older Android version than 10. The implementation of such feature is simple, but I suppose Google wanted to keep it as an icing on the cake. Perhaps the new version for Android 10 had also introduced a couple of features that can't work on Android Pie or older. As for using Gmail with a dark theme, there's been thousands of ways to get that, unofficially of course. Most notably, Substratum worked pretty well for version between Android 5 and Android 8. Not working on Android Pie.
[General Questions and Answers] RKS96:
Android 10 intruduced a systemwide dark mode. I am asking because on LOS android 9 Play Store dark mode is working, but for some reason google can't make it work in gmail app. I was just wondering what is the reason for it. I mean changing color couldn't be that hard. Even manual switch like in all the other apps would be fine. Sorry for my venting.

Gmail dark mode works fine on my A10 Pixel 3XL. Systems dark mode is much improved over Pie for me.

Flashing GSI to Cubot King Kong Mini

hello, i have a device that has a 64 bit processor, 32 bit kernel but i am unsure if it has a/b partition so i am unsure of which version of a GSI i need to flash. i ran 2 treble check apps but am receiving conflicting results:

Project Treble APK:

Project Treble Supported

Seamless system updates unsupported. Your device has only one set of partition (A slot)

Treble Info APK:

YOur device supporrs the moden version of Project Treble

Your device supports System-as-root. Use an A/B operating system.

Your device is ARM32 but uses a 64-bit binder. In this scenario you should use an image named "binder64" or "a64".

Manually ran this check via ADB getprop ro.build.ab_update and DID NOT RETURN TRUE so i am leaning toward the non a/b GSI?

Im unsure which version of this GSI.

https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=286761

V121system-arm32_binder64-aONLY-ufOfficial-nosu.img.xz

V121system-arm32_binder64-ab-ufOfficial-nosu.img.xz

my device does not have custom recovery available so i will be flashing via fastboot. i beleive i have to disable dm verity. If so do i disable dmverity by:

flashing fastboot flash vbmeta name_of_vbmeta.img before or after i flash the GSI?

and do i flash the vbmeta.img that comes with the stock rom of my device?

one last question. I currently have my stock rom rooted with magisk. In order to root it i had tried to patch the boot.img via magisk and flash the patched boot.img but that didnt work. I tried to then patch the recovery.img with magisk and flash the recovery.img but that didnt work. I did some research and found a patched boot.img for my device on 4pda that someone had modified to work. I flashed that to my device and was able to successfully get root/magisk on my device. Having said that.

Once i flash this GSI:

do i use the same patched boot.img that i found on 4pda for my device to get root/magisk on this GSI?

will that work or will i have to figure out how to root./magisk the GSI i flash all over again?

Before i forget. Before proceeding with flashing this GSI is it required that i remove magisk/root first? if so, should i:

uninstall via the magisk manager apk ( i also have EdXposed and XprivacyLua installed via magisk manager) and then factory reset the device?

Or should i just flash the original boot.img to remove magisk/root?

Or should i factory reset the device then flash the original boot.img?

Yes, as I said, I'm on a Pixel 3XL. When you are on a different manufacturer than the "pure" google devices, you also have to deal with OEM effects on software. But even on a Pixel, with stock, gmail dark mode was not supported on Pie.

I would stick with the information from Treble Info for your device configuration. The write-up here is authoritative for flashing GSI. Make sure to read the whole document as there are tips at the end.

I would start by having the corresponding stock ROM flashed to the device that puts the correct boot.img and vendor for the GSI release. Usually it matches the release date of the GSI ROM. I would boot and make sure everything works, then use Magisk Manager to patch the boot.img then fastboot flash that to the device. If the boot.img you have that is pre-rooted matches the vendor you are using, then there is no reason you can't use that one.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I am also on a Pixel, and haven't been on Android 9 since the first 10 beta came out in March of last year, so this might not work.

If you can get dark mode for Gmail on 9, you should be able to enable it in Gmail > settings > general settings > theme (it will be at the top). There you can select light, dark, or system default.

[MENTION=6617276]ktmom[/MENTION], i was able to succesflluy flash the gsi. i used the corresponding gsi based on treble info like you recommended. big thanks for that. also i went ahead and rooted via magisk with the same boot.img i had found on 4pda that i had used on stock. i have been reading that i can flash most .gsi to my device as long as they are made for the same configuration i have. is that correct?

but i notice that alot of them say to use custom recovery which i dont have. but i read on google that GSI can be flashed via fastboot. can all GSI be flashed via fastboot even though the OP says to use custom recovery? im tempted to try other GSI but dont have custom recovery. do you know anyway to backup/restore my MTK device so i can try other GSI?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
On taking a second look at this,...

First point, what comes to mind is the fact that you mention being at the lockscreen while connected to PC but is only recognized as mass storage because you can't enter any kind of password. This is actually normal, but, what it tells me is that you can successfully boot into system.

Second point, you say you can boot into recovery but PC doesn't see it, also normal if your stock recovery doesn't support adb or if you don't have USB debugging enabled. My guess is that USB debugging is not enabled based on you saying that you can't get your PC to recognize the device while in recovery mode or in fastboot mode. This would mean that you can't even flash the device to bypass this issue.

All of this means it looks like you are stuck with only one possibility...reset the device, then go from there. Just resetting will more than likely fix it. If it doesn't, the reset will have also probably put the device into a state that it can be recognized by your PC in some mode or manner, which means you can flash it to fix whatever is corrupted.
