Stuck with uniBIOS after upgrade via QPST

The phone did not want to enter Download mode so I have used QPST. However now uniBIOS comes up when the phone starts. Any chance to use your 1.35 ROM anyway or do I have to find a version compatible with the Huawei tool somewhere in the Internet?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Uncleweed_OG:
Thanks for this, i'm using a Huawei 4Afrika. Its basically the exact same phone as the the W1-U00 but for different regions. I was wondering though, is it possible to add the nokia glance screen option? It would be awesome to get that in the next update :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Uncleweed_OG:
Ok, so i think i've done something really bad. I had my external connected while running wp8cruu. and it has flashed my external instead, like how? Can I fix this and recover all my data? Please do reply soon

still waiting for windows 10 build. When will it be available?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] berti42:
I updated it to W10M with a guide of youtube successfully. Just search for "Guide to Update Ascend W1" there to find it.

But: Battery drain is 2x faster than with WP8.1. Please keep that in mind. And speech download for navigation and cortana doesn't work at this moment . So i think WP 8.1 is the right OS for our Ascend W1.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cloudsky21:
The OneDrive link doesn't work. :crying:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] berti42:
i think you don't need all the data from the file when you are already on Version 1.32.

Now with the new Update Build 318, battery drain is still bad in comparison with the battery life of WP8.1.

But now i could download the speech for offline navigation:)

At the end i downgraded to WP 8.1 because i love the battery life of 3 days (1 day with W10M) and because of the hardware of the Ascend W1 everything is getting a bit slower with W10M. Also like the HERE drive navigation more than the embedded navigation in W10M.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cloudsky21:
Hey! How did you upgrade your phone to WP 8.1.2?

Help please!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] berti42:
Hello,

the upgrade to 8.1.2 is described in the partner-thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/windows-phone-8/help/qa-huawei-ascend-w1-u00-v1-00-t2904742/page11

At the following pages it's described how you do it with the Windows registy editor of your PC. It's easier than with a registy app of the smartphone.

But i was wrong: i just downgraded to WP8.1 because with 8.1.2 the battery drain is also so high, that battery is empty within one day. So i recommend you to stay at WP8.1!

[MENTION=1501461]WojtasXda[/MENTION] So the Huewei flash process uses Qualcomm Download Mode to flash....interesting!

The HTC 8x has a hard-key combination that will put it into this mode....It looks like your huewei flasher can be modded to flash to the 8X (Same mode, different chipset) :) hopefully I will have some time this weekend to try a few things. Do you have any info on how to inflate/repack the app file?

Unable to flash step 1

WojtasXda, thank you for this ROM!

Unfortunately I'm unable to flash the first step.

When clicking "Scan && Download" I'm getting "Firmware (HandShake Fail)".

The application is trying to flash on COM19: "Qualcomm WinMobile Diagnostics 319B".

The phone is a Huawei W1-U00

OS version: 8.0.10517.150

OS Revision: 1030.5612.22500.05600

Hardware Revision: HD1U8835M Ver.B

SOC-version: 8230

I tried entering download mode manually by holding down VOL+ and Power.

Got "UEFI USB Simple Windows Phone I/O Protocol" in device manager.

When clicking "Scan && Download" I got another error: "Download Fail, Unexcepted Feedback Value!" (yes, it says "unexcepted")

If anyone have an idea what could be wrong I would be very grateful. I bought this phone just to test the custom ROM.

EDIT:

I finally managed to flash step 1 after resetting the bootloader using the following guide:

You don't have to wait until WojtasXda posts step 2, here's how to install GDR3:

1. register as developer on http://appstudio.windowsphone.com

2. Install Preview for developers app

3. Update to GDR3 using Preview

4. Install EnableAllSideloading XAP: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2258633&d=1379229845

Hi together,

first excuse for my bad english!

I added it to come now geschaft on GDR3 Including German language so it is really a super thing .... unfortunately Nevertheless goes no play eg Nova3 and also go just a few tweaks since WPHTweaks was probably designed more for Samsung. The File Explorer will not work either.

But the very Brilliantly now GDR3 goes with German language and also the 3 column is finally unlocked.

Very good work and a big thank you.

Thank you very very much for your work WojtasXda. I have just flashed the ROM and it is perfect!

I have one question regarding Windows Phone 8.1. Your ROM is obviously GDR2 based and we can update using the Developer Preview-program. But, will we receive Windows Phone 8.1 through Developer Preview if we don't have Retail GDR3?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] myst02:
[MENTION=811738]nilezon[/MENTION]: I will figure out how to add language packs and tell you the reason if available.

[MENTION=5634009]error0x0000034[/MENTION]: Yes, it works. You can update to WP 8.1 via developer preview without losing interop unlock.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
how do you know this ?

Not like on Ativ? Doing nothing the Interop remain because there was no packages from manufacturer?

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] SirusX:
There are no instructions Additional Services spoke to install what language do you need it?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] myst02:
It works because developer preview is the same and will not change any registry entries. It also works with updating GDR2 to GDR3, why it shouldn't work for 8.1?

[MENTION=2799766]djtonka[/MENTION]: No, it isn't like Ativ. Also if Huawei fixes the bug, this is not a diag tool like Samsung Ativ S, but this is full FS access bug, thats why interop unlock will be still there!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
DevPreview changes registry.

Huawei can update bootloader. Sammy did this, we can't use old ROMs on GDR3 now.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] myst02:
They can update bootloader, but previous registry entries never change! Updates does not change registry, [MENTION=5063603]reksden[/MENTION] installed leaked GDR1 ROM, updated to GDR2 via OTA, and installed GDR3 with DevPreview. Voila - he has 3 rows of tiles and interop is still there!

If Huawei updates bootloader, we can flash back to [MENTION=1501461]WojtasXda[/MENTION] GDR1 or GDR2 Rom and old bootloader will be there....
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
In this situation, if you want to perform HR - you need to reflash GDR1 and do all the update process up to the latest version.

I like to have dutch please :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] myst02:
OK, I'm going to prepare swedish and dutch language packs, I will upload it in a few hours. I have no Ascend W1, this method is for testing, but you can't brick your phone with this.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gremmmy:
Thanks! Can't wait to install it !:good:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] myst02:
So... I was success unpacking language files from my Lumia 520, here's guide how to install it ;). But keep in mind that I've not tested it because I haven't got a W1, it should work, and also if fail, you can't brick your phone.

The Ascend W1 should be connected to computer in mass storage mode. Copy the folder in the zip file at Windows\System32. Then apply the following registry entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Speech\UXLanguages]
"nl-NL\@"=sz:Netherlands
"nl-NL\Culture"=sz:Netherlands
"nl-NL\Language"=hex:413
"nl-NL\Recognizer"=sz:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SPEECH\Recognizers\Tokens\MS-1033-110-WINMO
"nl-NL\Voice"=sz:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SPEECH\Voices\Tokens\MSTTS_V110_enUS_ZiraM
"nl-NL\VoiceGender"=hex:1

[MENTION=811738]nilezon[/MENTION]: For Swedish you need to use sv-SE instead of nl-NL and:

hex:041D

, not

hex:413

sz:svenska

, not

sz:Netherlands

Now language should appear, if you apply it, all should be in this lang, except the voice, I will work on that :)

IMPORTANT: Don't write "sz:" and "hex:"!! They are only there for know what kind of key to make!!!

All keys must be created! They are not there, you must create it!

Have fun ;)

Do not forget polish :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] myst02:
Before I do it: [MENTION=2162689]gremmmy[/MENTION] did it work?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] nilezon:
I couldn't get it working.

The registry key you pointed out seemed wrong, so I tried the following one instead:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Speech\UXLanguages\Tokens\sv-SE

The language will still not show up in the UI language selection menu.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] myst02:
Did you copy language folder in Windows\System32? I know the registry key is wrong, I meant this key, thanks ;)

It doesn't work? OK. In a few hours I will post a laaaaarge registry file, extracted from PDALang from HTC HD2 WP7, keys should be the same, just need to apply. Thank you for trying, I'm going to solve problems :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djtonka:
