wifi

Thank you for your time and reply I really appreciate it. I have my phone working now, except for broken WiFi. Do you Know if I can flash the kernel through stock recovery having the Boot loader unlocked? I think i messed it up running the v6 supercharger script. I am researching and looking for a fix myself, i was just wondering about the kernel flash. I'm not familiar with this phone and you have a lot more knowledge about it than I. Thank you for your time and replies, I was sweating bullets there for a moment.
[Android General] nycelitemaster:
Download the stock rom package and extract the boot.img from it. Once you do that turn off the phone and put in bootloader (hold power + vol down) for 30 sec. It will be on white screen with tmo sign. Type fastboot devices.. You should get 24gdh23 fastboot.. Once you are sure that you are in bootloader type fastboot flash boot boot.img. make sure boot.img contains full path. So if it is in c drive it will be "C:/boot.img"

You can't make a comparison between the Optimus V and this phone..this phone runs 4.x while the Optimus V runs 2. x.

4.x was not optimized for low spec phones like the Prism II, while 2.x was. 2.x can run good on pretty much anything, but it also lacks a lot of functionality that comes with 4. I do agree that kitkat, which is said to work better on lower spec devices, would run better on the prism II.
[Android General] n00b-xda-disciple:
Yeah i know sorry. I just think its crazy that the prism II takes forever to do much of anything on it... The phone does have way better potential then what it has stock dont get me wrong. I was reffering to how old the optimus v is and to me is a far superior phone. So just my opinion. If someone can port kit kat that would definately make a difference. Kit kat is running very well for my phone and my friend's phones that I modded. I havnt been able to help my uncle that has the Prism 2 because he hasnt requested the lock code yet. I hate locked bootloaders lol. Whenever I work on his ill prob end up working on some stuff for it. I agree that someone should take up this project; cheap phones = you can take more risks trying to mod them. Unfortunately alot of people have said they cant get past the boot screen once trying to port kit kat. Kit kat is still relatively new, give it some time.

Do you still want to install ADB and fastboot?

Here is the adb/fastboot installation I used for windows:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Install everything including the Google phone driver.

Install the adb driver by plugging in your phone while powered on, going to the automated cd drive on your windows machine, going to drivers, and then installing adb driver there. You may also want to go into recovery and make sure all device drivers install there. Install HiSuite as well because it installs additional drivers you may need.

SIM unlock for U8686

I sent an email to Huawei, requesting the network SIM unlock code, but they seem to think I am asking for the PIN to bypass the SIM lock, not the network unlock code. Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Charlie, I requested the network unlock code from Huawei, but they seem to think I mean the sim pin code. I was able to root my Prism II with Kingo Root without problems. All I need is the unlock code so I can change carriers.

I don't understand bootloader unlock, do I need it?:confused:
[Android General] CharlieSummers:
Ok, hold on; I've seen a lot of this confusion.

The bootloader unlock will allow you to replace the boot loader - this is only important if you want to install a third-party ROM on the phone. (I got my bootloader unlock from Huawei, but never used it since I never installed a different ROM on mine. Still, it's free, and a relatively simple email to get, so why not?) But this will not unlock the carrier lock.

What you are looking for is the SIM Unlock code, which you cannot get from Huawei. You need to get that from your carrier (if you've had the phone on TMobile long enough they will provide it to you for free), or you can buy it from any of the fleabay or unlock outfits if you haven't.

Here is the reply I got from Huawei when I requested an unlock code from them:

Dear Huawei Customer ,

Thank you for your inquiry about our product. At this time we are not able to provide you with the code you are requesting. We are unable to unlock the boot loaders for US cellphones because it gives you additional access to the core components of the operating system. The only way you can unlock the boot loader is by contacting the carrier of your phone. The carrier is the one who owns the administrative rights to the device. Please keep in mind that it is up to the carriers discretion to provide the code that will allow the use of their device on a different network.

Basically, it looks I am stuck with trying to unlock this phone.

Testing CWM Recovery Image and Update Zip Files

I finally figured out how to make CWM recovery images using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1866545, but since this was my first time, I am not completely sure that I did it correctly. There weren't any errors during the make process, but even so I was wondering if there is a way to check if the recovery image is valid before putting it into a phone?

This recovery images was built using cyanogenmod 10.1 with configuration files made automatically by "mkvendor.sh" using the boot.img from my previous post.

I'm especially curious if the /etc/recovery.fstab file in the update.zip is valid. It doesn't seem to be properly configured to me because the mount point doesn't point towards a device name. I expected "/boot" to point to "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", but instead "/boot" is linked to "boot". There's a couple more like that ("/cache" is linked to "cache"). Does anyone know if this kind of recovery.fstab will work? Could the partition layout be stored in the kernel?

EDIT: After some reading, I'm pretty sure that the recovery.fstab is wrong, so its probably not a good idea to flash this into phone.

Root, Bootloader Unlocking, and Unlocked Phone Status?

Just a quick question -- I searched but didn't seem to find anything.

I just purchased a T-Mobile Prism II and have requested (and received) the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. The guide seems fairly straightforward, and I know I can install CWM to backup and protect against horrible problems later. I plan to go through the process today, as I up/side-grade from my Samsung Transform Ultra.

Question -- I want to unlock my phone for network access using one of the (many) unlock codes I seem to find on eBay and elsewhere. Does it matter if I unlock the phone before or after bootloader unlocking? I ask as I remember there being at least one phone that "lost" unlocked status after firmware changes, and I wanted to make sure I didn't wreck anything.

So, will bootloader unlocking revert network unlocking? Is there anything I should be worried about?
[Android General] mattlgroff:
SIM and Bootloader unlocks are not related to eachother and do not affect eachother on any phone that I know of. This is also the case on the Prism II.

my phone is not booting up.. but it goes into reovery fine.. i need either a stock or custom rom for it

i tried the following 2 images:

Huawei U8686 - Software version #: C85B187 Android 4.1.1 - Rooted with Koush Superuser. No Carrier IQ. No CDROM Mounting.

Huawei U8686 - Software version #: C85B187 Android 4.1.1 - 100 Perfect stock. No root. Has carrier IQ! Beware.

but my phone did not boot up atfer flashing these from CWM, it would just boot back into recovery

I also down loaded stock from HUawei site.. but it seems to be in a different format (.tar.gz) so CWM does not see it..

any suggestions??

you will not get any where by using .gz file from Huawei as that is source for the kernel. You will need actual rom. You can grab the rom dump here: Stock Rom.
