Lenovo has upgraded several of their MTK based phones to Kitkat 4.4.2 months ago even as stable release versions!

Lenovo S920 which is MT6589 based has a stable 4.4.2 firmware. This phone was released in March 2013!

Lenovo S960 which is MT6589T based has a stable 4.4.2 firmware

Lenovo S930 which is MT6588 based has a stable 4.4.2 firmware.

Lenovo S939 which is MT6592 based has a stable 4.4.2 firmware.

Lenovo S8 which is MT6592 based has a stable 4.4.2 firmware.

Obviously there are Kitkat 4.4.2 drivers for almost all recent mediatek processors, so there is only Huawei to blame for dropping the ball completely in terms of software development. They are so far behind Lenovo it's not even funny.

They should concentrate less on flooding the market with new phones every month (FIVE models of Honor 3C so far this year and counting...) and more on supporting the phones they already put on the market. As I said before, the G750-T00 was discontinued after only four months on the market.
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
did some search an dyou right guys, mediatek released source for drivers supporting kitkat...did not research for that since some months, so apologize, my mistake :)

drivers source was released this years around spring, not on 2013, BTW, I'm agree Huawei should focusing on still developping software for released phone and not only issue new models, but I can a bit understand their policy to fight against big players like samsung/ apple , Sony etc....so new models with improvments can influence the audience and makes the difference

new Honor 6 mulan is AMAZING....don't know guys if you have read on the web the specifications and the incoming selling price, simply amazing....it's going to be my next phone I guess.

cheers

Can anyone confirm whether B142 is multilingual or not?
[Device Reviews and Information] amonev:
Honor 6 is really great! I don't see a point to buy Ascend P7.

ps - something interesting in Verlist file chech in B611 is that upgrade can be made from many firmwares even from B145 ?!?

... so I think that there are firmwares that are not officialy released by Huawei. Kitkat is one of them, but the test team is "strong enough" not to publish to the world till official date :D
[Device Reviews and Information] _mfm_:
I was wrong too, Huawei actually released a SIXTH model of Honor 3C already, the H30-C00.:eek:

With 1GB/4GB so they can release the H30-C10 later with 2GB/8GB. :rolleyes:

The Honor 6 looks nice (even if the name is incredibly stupid), but I don't want to go back to 5" again (especially not with soft keys) and I don't like non-removable battery. Anyone found complete specs for it, I mean exact frequency bands for LTE etc?

Android 4.4 Emui 2.3 will come!!

I live in China and so i have a bit more local information. Android 4.4 will come, there are already some beta tester like 50 for the huawei 3x i think. They got the beta like 4 weeks ago. The only question about 4.4 is WHEN, I don't know that but it will come. Some sources told me it will come at the 1.July, another source told me it will be out in 2 month. So right now nobody really knows when it will be released.

I hope i helped you

Hi,

I have a question about upgrading firmware :

I try to upgrade my firmware by

unrooting the phone

flash the stock recovery

unzipping full rom and placing the dload folder on my sdcard...

And every time i try the upgrade via the recovery, i got a "verlist" problem (i dont remember what the massage was exactly) ...

I don't know exactly what cause the issue. To my point of view, it should be due to the following :

Flashing from B1xx to B6xx (and invert)

Flashing a rom where the immutable.list was deleted

Someone has the same problem or not ?

Someone done the same kind of upgrade and has no issue ?

The only way for me to install my rom is with sp flash tool. and as a very good surprise, it keeps apps, data and system configurations !!!
[Device Reviews and Information] olio99:
Thanks for confirmation about B142.

I will probably install B611 then.

The 5780 ko one is CWM
[Device Reviews and Information] uc2000:
I don't have direct link, but you can install CWM from MTK Droid Tools: you can download MTK DROID TOOL v2.5.3 from XDA (h**p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160490).

From MTK DT, in "root, backup ,recovery" tab, select "to use boot from phone" and press "Recovery and Boot" button (device should be already rooted), and you're done.

In this thread you can find a Biobio's post with the complete instruction for backup, CWM etc. with MTK droid tools.

Hope this is useful for you.

Cheers.

According to this page, upgrade to B611 version is possible in the following conditions:

Upgrade limited version:

1, allowing only stable version B118 - B141 upgrade to this version

2, only allows the development version B601 - B610 upgrade to this version

Read carefully this post #770

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

Very strange!

Do you have this behavior with a clean install of stock ROM without any other custom application installed?
[Device Reviews and Information] marwin1981:
I just bought a huawei g750 U10, but the stock 4.2.2 android need to go, because its buggy.

What are the option? are there stable custom kitkat roms available for the g750 U10?

And can some one tell what the difference is between the huawei G750 U10 and the huawei G750 T00

Thank you.

Cheers.
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
no kitkat available for honor ( yet..maybe in the furture )

U10 is basically an idrid rom , not an official rom.....your phone will perfectly support the official firmware released by huanwei in two versions ( B611 developer or B142 stable version )

to install it see below two posts, links and instructions...you need to completly flash your phone

#795 for B142

#649 for B609 link to download preparred rom ( with CWM already included )....once flashed you can remove the CWM , install stock recovery and OTA upgrade to B611 - last version

cheers
[Device Reviews and Information] marwin1981:
THnx for the fast response, what android version is B142?? Is it better than the stock version what i now have?
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
both developer and stable version are in the huawei official download page:

http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=28

don't know what you have installed now, but of course and for sure are better because are the last ones....
[Device Reviews and Information] Marrick21095:
Huawei released Android 4.4 (:

I found an article on a chinese forum with some screenshots, so all the users with the developer firmware will recieve the update today.
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
Hi dear Marrick

this is a great news if confirmed! thanks for your post, I can't wait for the OTA upgrade....

Cheers
[Device Reviews and Information] Marrick21095:
As I know there are not a lot of changes, but we will see. Also i hope they optimized the battery and stability.

I will make a clean installation of 2.3 to get the full performance.

Hi,

I'm in France too and i have no problem accessing the web from my mobile data (neither for mms nor apps upgrades).
[Device Reviews and Information] Marrick21095:
I don't know i'm living in china and so I have the T00 model, i don't know the differents. If it is the same model with the same specs, like dual sim and so on, then u should be able to flash the firmware of the T00, link is here: http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload

U have to choose: 荣耀3x移动版（G750-T00）and then scroll down a bit and click on the button with ROM and the download will start.

At the moment it is the Developer Version B611 (Android4.2), they will upload the update, which should be B641 (Android 4.4), this day.

Always do a FULL BACKUP BEFORE starting.
[Device Reviews and Information] marwin1981:
Oke, let me see if I understand correctly, I Download the above zip file, update the phone to "Versie: B611 [EMUI2.0] [16 juni 2014-update]" and them automatic the update to 4.4 will be pushed to the phone en installed?

But how do in install the above rom (UPDATE.APP) to the phone?

Cheers.

Marwin
[Device Reviews and Information] Marrick21095:
That's correct, but i don't know if it will brick ur phone or not.. Normally it should work. But remember, after that u won't have the playstore anymore (it's the chinese official rom), but u cann easily root ur phone and install the playstore. U install it by moving the dload folder with the UPDATE.APP in it to the root of your sdcard. Then go to setting -> Update -> local Update..

When the local update doesn't work, u can also install the Rom via SP Flash tool. Just check the thread there are a lot of tutorials in how to instal spft and use it

But please make a full BACKUP with MTK droid tools, so u can restore ur phone if it fails to install.

Please report when u did it.
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
to update you ibrid rom to last version ( developer B611 ) or stable ( B142 ) you have my post and my previous instructions how to do it....

I'm not sure you can do it simply donwloading the official ROM from Huawei site.....you can try but it can not go through since the base it's an ibrid rom and a lot of mandatory files are missing for the new updated rom to be installed via stock recovery.

try....or follow what I told you already and the materials I posted already

Change Firmware

why i can't change mw honor 3x firmware, from developer 611 version to stable 124 version..

this honor 3x always said " error current version is not in verlist "...

anyone can help me, tks before..
[Device Reviews and Information] marwin1981:
Your right, I'm just lithe l paranoid with putting other roms on a new device :silly:

But I will try your previous instructions how to do it.

Thnx biobio76..:good:
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
YOU ARE NOT PUTTING other rom.....BUT OFFICIAL upgraded firmware from huawei.....don't be scared.....your phone will only get the best optimization comparing to the idrid and buggy rom the seller installed into your phone...

the official process to upgrade the firmware basically tells that you should download the firmware from huawei site...then copy it ( UNZIPPED ) into your sdcard ( you will get in the end a DLOAD folder with inside a UPDATE.APP big file )...then upgrade it chosing LOCAL UPGRADE function into your phone......the phone will boot into stock recovery and upgrade....

i'm not sure you have the stock recovery and the phone is ( i guess rooted ) so you MUST remove the root prior to try the official process and be sure you have the stock recoveruy installed

also,

i'm not sure you have the HwOUC.apk ( the apk that allows you to upgrade via OTA or locally )...since it's an ibrid rom maybe the base of this firmware it's 99% old,,,,in case find attached the HwOUC.apk , donwload into your phone and install it...this will ( should ) give you the possibility to upgrade locally....

OTHERWISE, use my prepared rom...it's based on B609 and B142 .....but it's prepared to be flashed via SP FLASH TOOL.....maybe you need this to clean up all the S H I T the seller installed .....

BE ABSOLUTELY SURE you do a NVRAM backup prior to use my method...I explained how to in the posts together with links...

cheers
[Device Reviews and Information] marwin1981:
Thank you very much biobio76,

I'm did not root the phone (not yet)

Oke so basically I have 2 option:

1: The official process + the action install the HwOUC.apk (no root)

or

2: Your prepared rom B142 stable version through SP FLASH TOOL. (this is a clean install)

I think I prefer a clean OFFICIAL upgraded firmware from huawei (4.2.2) then this buggy S H I T I now have running. (And then android 4.4 will comes by itself)

But what if option 1 or 2 is going wrong, can i go back to the original??

Thanks!!!
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
install ( flash with SP FLASH TOOL the CWM recovery )

press ( volume + ) + ( volume .- ) + ( power button ) and run the phone into CWM recovery

having the external sdcard into your phone make a backup of your phone = NANDROID BACKUP

with this nandroid backup you get back to the exact time you did the nandroidbackup......

from CWM recovery run script to root the phone.....

then open MTK DROID TOOL and make a full backup of your phone ( being sure your NVRAM.BIN is safetly saved )

Then you are ready to "play" with your phone and try to upgrade with my way ( trust me it completely safe and working... ) or with the official way if you are able to do it ( not so sure... )

CWM or TWRP recovery to firmware 4.4.2

where to find CWM or TWRP recovery to firmware 4.4.2 (EMUI2.3_G750-T00_4.7.1) ?
[Device Reviews and Information] alexw801:
Have not you tried CWM Recovery from #61, it is "rua1 CWM v5.5.0.4 for HUAWEI G750-T00" file? I used it all the time, except now.

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

1. Downloaded 4.7.1 ROM (please see in post #868), 988.84 MB, unpacked, copied it to SD card / dload folder.

2. Settings / Updates / System updates / Local update

3. It offered user data safety savings to SD card, I agreed.

4. Local update / 2-3 minutes / OK.

5. The user data and settings remained as they were before the update process.

Some notes:

After installing B611 ROM I did not delete any Chinese apps, I did not replace Recovery and did not root.

Now it is:

Android version: 4.4.2

guess you saw my post for VCOM installation ( necessary drivers for SP FLASH TOOL )

for MTK DROID TOOL you need to have installed the ADB drivers.....to install it you can install the official huawei software for sync between phone and PC: ( HiSuiteSetup_v1.8.10.26.06 ) ... google it to download

OR

simply install manually the google ADB drivers , see here attached as ZIP for manual installation

installed as well, kitkat running on my little baby :)

well, I installed from local upgrade, without prior wipe anything...and without doing any data backup prior to apply local upgrade.

everything has been conserved.....cool ( of course I root it again and installed CWM again after the upgrade )

Google Gapps ( if was installed before ) are basically mantained BUT some sync is no working anymore....

I'm preparring a customized Google gapps upgrade for our honor to install Gapps for KitKat 4.4.2 ...this will be flashable via CWM recovery ( which I installed already and working fine as before )

Kitkat is of course a better performance O.S. , the layout is very simila to B611 also because the themes are nearly the same so it looks preliminary that there are no changes....but there are guys trust me....

come back soon with gapps package and some more comments.

Has anyone successfully flashed CWM on the new G750-T20 model? I was able to get root via RootGenius. I've also installed SuperSU so that MTK Droid will play nice. I have backed up the phone via MTK Droid. However, when I go to "Recovery and Boot" with "To use boot from phone" selected, I get "Error during write of the block bootimg" and "Error during write of the block recovery". Any ideas on what I should try next?

P.S., I've also tried Flash Tools without success.
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
when you do "To use boot from phone" do you have the green status on MTK DROID TOOL?

look at the left down corner you should see a green little window saying root-shell ...do you see that?

having rooted the phone is ok, but when you run MTK DROID TOOL you MUST press ROOT button so MTK DROID TOOL will open a root-shell and allow you to generate CWM recovery and patched boot.....
