The whole OS is multilanguage. The stock recovery can also handle ZIP files So it should work.

Oh, a pity I'm using CWM then :'( Could a simple MTK Droid Tools backup of this ROM work with it though ?

Hello to all,

I've just bought a new Honor 3X from Ali. The phone is with firmware B122, pre rooted and with TWRP installed. Normal update in the settings is not working.

I make a full backup with MTK droid tools and install SP flash tool. The question is: "How can I restore original recovery so I can use OTA updates?"

As I read, I must flash recovery.img with SP flash tool. Where can I find stock recovery for B122 and than do what to take advantage of OTA updates?

Thanks in advance.

Stock recovery is attached to message.

You can also use your scatter file.

Could you please provide here the recovery.img file (TWRP recovery) from your MTK Droid Tools backup?

I have an error message with the OTA update (B609) but it's good with the local update.

Beautiful multi language support :)

C'est ok pour le FR :D

Just wait 4.4 and perfect

[Device Reviews and Information] dancrow:
To update via OTA you have to unroot and flash stock recovery.

Update via OTA.

To root Huawei again, you have to flash TWRP or CWM recovery, and after that load SuperSU zip file in recovery.

For step by step info please read carefully all forum posts by [MENTION=5132793]biobio76[/MENTION] .

I've just installed B609. Is there a easy way to root it?
[Device Reviews and Information] alexw801:
To do for ROM update

You can read my post #504, I summarized what biobio76 told.
[Device Reviews and Information] alexw801:
How to go to B609 ROM

FIRMWARE UPDATE to B609

Reboot to CWM Recovery, make a backup.

Copy to SD card root:

•	Folder renameddload and UPDATE.APP (B609 ROM) in it

•	UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip

•	MyBackupPro.apk (I use it, you can use other)

•	recovery.img (it must be the stock recovery file)

•	gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip

Open Mobileuncle Tools (20140111 v2.9.9), change recovery, Android system recovery ˂3e˃ will appear, it is the stock recovery.

Open SuperSU v1.94 / Setting / Full unroot

Power off (wait while the phone vibrates.)

Hold Volume+ and Volume- and Power buttons for a long time, while it vibrates, hold more, while Huawei logo appears, now it is in Recovery.

Make a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache.

Reboot phone.

Rename “renameddload” to “dload”. Do not leave recovery.img in the root of SD card.

Power off (wait while the phone vibrates.)

Hold Volume+ and Volume- and Power buttons for a long time, while it vibrates, hold more, while Huawei logo appears, now it shows “Entry SD upgrade…” The process is going, B609 ROM is installed when finished.

I copied SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1348.00 on PC in a folder. I copied my Scatter file there. I copied the recovery file from #61 (it is the CWM Recovery) also there, unpacked and renamed as “recovery.img” (5870 kB), Run the SP_F_T as administrator. Scatter file opened. Only “Recovery” to tick! Push “Download”. The battery I pulled out and returned to the phone. I connected the phone by USB cable, it went through quickly.

Reboot to CWM Recovery and make a backup.

Then use “install zip from SD card”, UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip. The phone is rooted now!

Then use “install zip from SD card”, gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip. Reboot phone.

Make the Google login process.

Install MyBackupPro.apk, make a restore…

THAT IS ALL!
[Device Reviews and Information] alexw801:
I edited my typo already.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Hi everyone,

I am trying to flash B609 on my phone, but I can't seem to be able to get the stock recovery back using MobileUncle (I have tried SP Flash Tool too, but my phone LED is blinking red no matter what USB port it is on (laptop) while the phone is not even noticed by my computer). I think when I made a recovery using MTK Droid Tools the retailer had already installed CWM (they had already rooted the phone with vRoot while I asked them not to... lol).

When I ask MobileUncle to reboot into recovery after "flashing" my recovery.img, the popup just hangs for a second, then MobileUncle goes back to its main menu and I'm free to do what I want. Manually rebooting into recovery leads me into CWM.

Also, I am on B127, currently rooted with RootGenius (works like a charm for me).

Could someone help me please ?

Did you install ADB drivers, VCOM drivers and HiSuite?
[Device Reviews and Information] :
I'm on Windows 7 64bits right now. I have HiSuite, ADB seems to be working fine, and while I uninstalled VCOM Drivers yesterday for checking Windows told me they were being re-installed automatically when I rebooted my phone while it was connected to the computer.

And does the upgrade have Gapps etc

Thanks your answer n Help will be much appreciated

BEFORE I UPDATE

WANT TO GET THE BLOCKSIMAGE FROM MTKDROID V 2.5,3 AND A DUMP

BUT UNABLE TO GET THIS SOFTWARE FROM THE LINK PROVIDED
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
Hi cletusrd

MTK DROID TOOL v.2.5.3 can be downloaded from the official page the author ( the greater RUA1 ) provided here on XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49597819&postcount=922

you need this software to see your phone specification as well as to make your dump, create CWM recovery etc....

if you are not familiar with ADB drivers installation, I suggest you to download and install the official huawei tool to control the device,

search this on google ( HiSuiteSetup_v1.8.10.26.06 )

HiSuiteSetup_v1.8.10.26.06 will install the ADB drivers as well .....

G750-T00 V100R001CHNC00B120 is the STABLE stock rom for our honor...so you can keep it you don't really need to install other firmware...

G750-T00_EmotionUI_2.0_V100R001CHNC00B604 is THE BETA RELEASE....as far as I read on the web this is the last firmware BUT it's more for developer use, and it's not really making a lot of changes to the stable version...so AGAIN you can update to this but it's not really changing your life then....and if you are not expert in "playing" with firmware I suggest you to wait ( my customs rom ... ha ha ha ha as soon as I get the device... )

cheers

My New Honor 3X G750-T00

Hello Guys,

I'm an Italian currently in China for business....and just bought a new Honor 3X, for 1900CNY with original flip cover included(it has flip cover with "window" like Samsung),after a big fight with vendor on the price!

I'm using it since a couple of days now, first impression:

-

"Physical impression"

: build quality is not bad, it's in the middle way between SGS3 and SGS4, you feel it "solid" in the hand, not so heavy, I was looking for the black one but had to take the white with "silver" frame, that is good looking as well;

-

Screen

: good maximum brightness, and good when in auto mode. Resolution is good, but I was coming from NEO N003 5" FULL HD screen...and I could see the loss of details comparing the two terminals. It's very responsive.The white color is a bit different from my previous phone, but you can change the color temperature by settings without any additional installation

-

Battery

: can't give a judgement on this, I'm still in the first battery charge(I don't have data connection here), but after all the sw installation and 36h (with may be 10minutes talking and 25 minutes on Skype) I'm around 50%, feeling is good;

-

Software

: it cames with Huawei Emotion and without any Google app. I've installed all Google services(playstore,gmail,Google Now, Google Search,Maps etcetc...) in few minutes without any issue, ROOT executed with Framaroot 1.9, and uninstalled all chinese apps with Root Uninstaller. Then changed Launcher to Nova, as I don't like Huawei one. IT has some customization (security for the access to system by apps, battery monitor and warning etc...)

-Signal: GSM signal is for now good, Wifi very powerful, data not tested yet....

-Camera: only few pictures with low light...the only thing that I can say for now is that sw should be improved on autofocus and iso management. Front camera with Skype, good.

Well, for now I can't add any other thing. I'll keep you updated.

For any additional check, just ask!
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
buongiorno!!

I am italian too....bought the honor 3x online and asked vendor to deliver it in shaghai ( my company has a branch there.. )

my local colleague received it..and He will pass the phone to another collegue who will bring the phone in europe on march 27th....so

just few days missing for me to get finally the phone....

I was at the MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS in barcelona some weekes ago, where I have seen the phone phisically, tested it at HUAWEI booth,

play with it a little bit, talked to HUAWEI exhibitors who showed me the phone....and I can confirm what you have just said.

phone is a very good compromise ( CPU, RAM, screen, size, and especially buying COSTS who is in the end cheap comparing to same range phones )

I am an italian developer posting on some italian quite famouse forum, and I have decided to buy this phone to then ( as soon as I receive it )

making custom rom, as well as trying to "PORT" some other roms ina stable way....

I already downloaded the stock rom of the phone, extract the UPDATE.APP big file and put the rom in "clear" to get in the end the stock boot, the stock recovery, the stock system folder etc etc....

I am already "playing" with the firmware analysing it, and studying the way the firmware is done....

NOW, as soon as I will get the phone I can finally and definitely work on it, and not theoretically as I do now.....one of my goal is to put

MULTILANGUAGE on it being the chinese and the inglish the only two languages available on the ROM ( G750-TOO where T00 stands for CHINESE VERSION ONLY ), as well as create a TWRP custom recovery, and some other fix if will be necessary...

thanks Griso502 to have shared your full impression of the phone, I am quite sure the device has a solid base to be developped and optimize

this device to perform betyter and better...we will see....

ciao, grazie!
[Device Reviews and Information] vzh:
hi. biobio im wondering you come from androidia... So its a very good news to all the customers of honor 3x.

Im worried about t00 and u00 versions. I still havent my phone yet on my hands but all the developments i saw on chinesse forums was for t00 version and i suppoused in EU only works u00 version.

Am i wrong?
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
androidia? ha ha ha ha......

T00 stands for chinese rom version only......as far as I know "U" in front is for international export market....but in the end the difference is just

on languages usually...or sometimes there are phones that are on 3G ONLY in china ...but the Honor 3x supprt both bands....the chinese 3G as well as the european one, as well as USA band by TA&T ...so this phone is great, and this is one of the reasons I decided to buy it..because I travel for work and I can use it in china, or USA as well....really great added value...

multilanguage is missing on T00, in fact you have chinese language and inglish.....AT THE MOMENT :)

I am already working in DEADEXING the stock rom...absolutely fundamental operation that will allow me to decompile the apps and push "strings" for multilanguage use...as native languages on this stock rom....

infortyunately I am finding quite difficulties in deodexiing the rom....not an easy operation on this stock rom....

anyway, I will work on it and and try to made a custom rom with multilanguage inside.....

there are some other way to have languages install guys, but I would keep time now and get the phone first prior to suggest you something that can compromise the stability of the phone....and if you don't know how to put back it to stock srom than is something I don't suggest to do

ill be glad when u post the more stable version minus all the chinese stuff light and fast like my B107 for the Huawei U9508

awaiting ur nod

thanks

LOADED THE MTK DROID AND GOT THE BLOCKS MAP

View attachment SCREENSHOTS.zip
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
well, so you install the B604 update firmware...you have seen is not difficult, there is a quite easy procedure to follow in copying the Dload folder with inside UPDATE.APP big file, and update it from STOCK RECOVERY.....

well, now my first question to you: do you see differences? Guess are quite similar to your previous firmware right?

NOW, what you should do is to ROOT the phone using FRAMAROOT ( as the other user have done successfully ) or using rootgenius, I read the rooting of the phone can be done also with rootgenius....

after you have done the rooting, plug the phone to PC and run MTK DROID TOOL version 2.5.3

MTK DROID TOOL will recognize the phone, and should give you the "green" colur status meaning root already active.

using MTK DROID TOOL process the BACKUP of the phone, and you will see MTK DROID TOOL will do the backup of the whole PHONE and save everything locally on computer as wel as copying it on the microsd card you have preventively inserted in the phone.

performing the back up, MTKD DROID TOOL should ask you if you want to install CWM recovery, press yes and let the program create the CWM recovery....the program should ask you if you want to install it as wel and confirm it....

after that you should have NO MORE the stock recovery installed BUT the CWM recovery....

run the phone on recovery mode ( CWM recovery so ) and from there flash the gapps.zip you have already downloaded and copied on your phone....

this will install the google gapps....and after rebooting the phone you should have the playstore and gmail syncronization etc etc etc....

that's it.....

[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
I told you, first do the rooting, then connect to MTK DROID TOOL...and instead of blue will be GREEN.....then do the backup

Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] biobio76:
yes, exactly the right process....it's normal taking time to perform the DUMP of the whole rom, even 40 minutes sometimes....

yes, green colour meaning temporary root shell, it's ok...

see attached these 4 pictures showing what to do...

1 + 2) obtaining the green root shell

3) choosing TO USE BOOT FROM PHONE

4) creating the CWM RECOVERY....and install it via the program....

do that....
[Device Reviews and Information] _mfm_:
It locks fast but not so accurate...

You are confusing it with Honor 3C, there is only one version of Honor 3X.

In general T-version is for China Mobile only (TD-SCDMA) and U version is for China Unicom (WCDMA). But 3X G750-T00 supports both China Mobile and China Unicom.

However, Honor 3X doesn't work with the Tele2 operator in Sweden when using 3G. You can use mobile internet but it's not possible to make or receive calls, it just says "CALL ENDED". If you switch to 2G (possible in the latest ROM updates from Huawei) its possible to make and receive calls. Has anyone else experienced any bugs like this? Tele2 is using WCDMA 2100 MHz so there shouldn't be anything strange.

EDIT : I couldn't find the vcom drivers in your post history dancrow (I glanced over the first four pages, I might just have missed them...). I thus installed the VCOM drivers from here : http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.

I launched SP flash tool, selected my scatter file and checked the "recovery" button, then started download.

My phone did the same (blink red like this : tik-tik-tiiiiiiiiik while making just a little 'click' noise each time the led is switched on) so I decided to press - button, windows recognized a device but just after I heard the windows "peripheral removed" sound. SP flash tool was blocked on the red bar (at least this changed, before I didn't even see it) and after some time I got this message : http://i.imgur.com/lwZS0jd.png .
