How to extract Huawei firmware / update.app

​

I wondered how to extract the firmware files Huawei, since with the dsixda's Android Kitchen I could not do it. After some research I finally found and I share my method in this thread.

This method works for the newer firmware (i tested on JellyBean Emotion UI 1.5) but should also work on a lot of others version.

Please for all improvements, send me a MP. I’m french and it’s possible for me to misspellings

This thread is in constant progress thanks to your feedback..​

I.	What you will need

ActivePerl to execute the script that will extract update.app[/URL][/B]

JoeyJiao's split_updata that i have modfied

Winrar

The Huawei update.app you want to extract

Android ICS JB EXT4 imagefile unpacker

A brain =)

II.	Download and install ActivePerl

1. Download ActivePerl

2. Install it:

​

3. It's okay for ActivePerl

III.	Install script to extract update.app

1. Create a new folder on your Desktop named "Huawei ROM extract"

2. Download this script (I modified it to work properly) in the folder "Huawei ROM extract"

3. Put your update.app in the same folder

NB

: It have to be named update.app !!!

4. So you folder look like this:

​

5. Double click on split_updata.pl

6. This window will appear, just wait:

​

7. When it finish the window is closed automaticaly

8. In your folder this is a new folder named "output", open it

9. You will see some files like:

​

10. It's okay for extraction

III.	Find system, boot and recovery files

1. Download my script HuaweiFinder in the folder "Huawei ROM extract"

2. Execute my script with a double click, youwill see this windows:

​

3. It's done, go into ouput folder and you will see some files:

​

boot.img is the kernel files

recovery.img is the recovery

system.img is the rom

others files are some others system files

III.	Open and extract img

1. Now download Android ICS JB EXT4 imagefile unpacker

2. Extract it in the folder "Huawei ROM extract"

3. Open ext4_unpacker

4. Double clic on ext4_unpacker.exe

​

5. Clic on this icon:

6. Go to the output folder and select system.img clic on "Open"

​

7. Now select all files, right clic and clic on "Extract"

​

8. You will see this:

​

9. It's okay the ROM is extracted where you have choosen !!

I hope this guide will be helpful!! And don't forget to thanks :)

[Android] Zittoro:
Thanks for the great guide, but I have a problem executing split_updata.pl. when i double click it, a terminal just opens and closes itself in less than a second but there is no change. I installed the active perl in the link. Any idea?

Edit:

If i type

perl split_updata.pl update.app

on terminal, it gives me

Unrecognised file format. Wrong identifier.

And it makes a folder named "output" in the directory, but nothing is in there.

The update.app was in the update.zip from B522 to B601 for ascend d1.

but for ascend y300 don't work very well..

nice job!!!-help request

first of all Nice job creating tasks like this is out of the ordinary and i want to tell you that i admire your knowleddge and your patience.

A request now, i have a huawei g520 t10 as my second phone due to my travels for job purposes to china,the phone is tdscdma and i can use

3g in china telecom networks.The phone has cwm recovery automade (thanks arm1 for the good job) with droid tools,and miui v5 unofficial (thanks someone in china....) and works more than decent, in fact no bugs at all.Till yesterday at least that my 2 years old daughter managed to erase the imei from the device while i was preparing her milk as i had the phone connected to the pc with droid tools and i was trying something she pressed the mouse and she changed the imei but in fact the droid tools erased it and i can not get it back.Droid tools wont work (no device on ptty....error),mobile uncle and engineer mode in generall (error sending the command in at),terminal emulators wont touch this system file.......Anyway i figured out the only way might be if i lad the original rom again but since i have cwm recovery i cant,thats where i need your help

i extracted the rom your way(pretty easy and user friendly) but i am missing boot and system img,anyway even if i had it my knowledge ends somewhere near.....and i dont know how to make it flashable to cwm.Would you be kind enough to help etheir by guiding me or by preparing the zip file by the app file for me (that would be huge).ANY HELP WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

[Android] dani`:
Thanks for the guide.

By the way, you do not need the 100+MB ActivePerl to run that simple script. TinyPerl (~600KB) will work fine and does not even need to be installed. I tested it with the 2.0 ZIP version. Extract the contents of the ZIP file in the same folder as UPDATE.APP and the split_updata.pl, then open a command window and type:

tinyperl split_updata.pl

Could you explain which criterias did you use inside HuaweiFinder? I'm on Linux and your script doesn't work on Wine. It seems a simple procedure to me, but Dos Batch is arabic for my eyes.

After running the split_updata.pl file, I immediately get a system.img file in the output folder The file size is 18 528KB.

Then after running the HuaweiFinder.bat file, the output file shows two system files. The original one (18 528KB) is named system.img.img and there is also a second file named system.img with a size of 47 162KB.

WHICH FILE IS THE CORRECT SYSTEM IMAGE?

Also, when executing the HuaweiFinder.bat file, no boot.img or recovery.img is found?

Then I run the ICS/JB/EXT4 unpacker, and when I load up the larger system.img file, it seems to crash the software...having said that, the system.img file I'm using is 2GB.

Did you try this yourself? Did it work?

[Android] peosteve:
Awesome, I appreciate that. The ROMs I'm looking to extract are for the Huawei Ascend G7. After I posted, I managed to get two extracted - Android 4.4.4 (HUAWEI_G760-L03_Firmware_Android 4.4.4_EMUI 3.0_V100R001C00B249SP01_Northern Latin America Region.zip) and Android 5.1.1 (Huawei_G760-L03_Firmware_G760-L03_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1_C469B340.zip). When I try to extract 6.0.1, it just crashes ext4_unpacker.ini. Having said that, at least it worked for a couple, and I don't care which version of Android I get, as long as it works now (Right now, I'm using CM12 and the phone app doesn't hang up...)

Here's a picture of the file structure output by the 5.1.1 version.

How do I know if it's complete? Recovery.img wasn't output, so I'm worried that it's not all there.

If it is all there, what do I do with these files? Do I zip them and then do a recovery with them? I'm a bit lost...or maybe very lost. I know computers, but I don't know much about Android and playing around with ROMs.

Thanks!
