hello, I'm new and I wanted to know at what point is the development of CM11 for Huawei Y530 ... and if you have created other custom ROM. Sorry for my english
[General Questions and Answers] MihaiSG:
No custom ROMs yet and CM11 is in the alpha stage,many things are not working, like volume in calls,but we hope that experienced users from this thread will fix the bugs.

Users like [MENTION=6200942]PieroV[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION] are working on it.

We have Custom Recovery and some modded stock roms.

[General Questions and Answers] :
We need more information. As much as you can give and please tell us what you have tried to do to fix the problem. Have you reset the phone to factory state? Do you have stock firmware, locked bootloader or unlocked? Do you have CWM recovery? Did you installed some app whith permissions to change mobile data networks? Did you install an app to save battery (like Juice Defender or DS battery extender)? Have you done changes in build.prop or sysctl using apps like Kernel Adiutor or System Control?

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

I have just created a new customized firmware with all original scripts for Y530 based again on B512 (I just trust superSU). I am testing it, specially vm and lmk values. I just can not find a way to run firefox smoothly though I know it can run very well on Y530. I will post as soon as I can, but hope messi or piero succeed with CM12.
[General Questions and Answers] MihaiSG:
[MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION]

The only way to run Firefox smoothly for me is with Swap ON(without Swap is crashing a lot).Even with SWAP,is not such a great experience because I have to wait a bit before is working fine.

I am on stock B512 ROM.I have AdBlock Plus,Fullscreen and SmarterScrolling addons for Firefox,but even without addons is still crashing a lot(with SWAP disabled)...
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Thanks for all your work!

I don't think that CM12 will be ported... I'm still on the idea that CM11 has to come first.

I'm gonna borow another phone from a friend, because I can't be without the phone for many hours...

For network problem I think that it's some power save feature. There's something in init.recovery, especially about CPU, but I can't see anything in the rest of the ramdisk...
[General Questions and Answers] :
I use swap ALWAYS, I know my sdcard will fail sooner, but it is OK for me because I think is more likely that I get it lost before that happens.

But you reminded me I should swapoff before trying Firefox. Di you run scripts at boot? There are two or three scripts I would like to try with your phone if you allow it, of course. Your feedback would be very important.

[MENTION=6200942]PieroV[/MENTION] yes, I think CM11 is the way, too.
[General Questions and Answers] MihaiSG:
[MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION]

I don't use any scripts,but I use Ram Manager with More Multitasking preset.

Other "performance" boosters that I use use are Greenify,Ram Expander(Swap) and Seeder.

I also disabled all the crap from the Phone and I used Greenify to greenify many system apps.

The phone feels faster and more responsive.

And of course,I am happy to help,just tell me what you need :)
[General Questions and Answers] VisualTech48:
About the first ROM, We could check more on the build.prop.

I was thinking looking in cyanogen mod, and add some options in the developer options to our stock rom. A lot of thing can actually be changed and tweeked through there. I'll read what can be added on the build.prop to optimize overall as I know that build.prop can be expanded. Great instace could be battery percentage text or wifi optimizations.

I'm also considering to make the notification bar at least expandable lile.in galaxy S3/4/5

Official update problem

Device is rooted and bootloader is unlocked, CWM 6.0.5.1 installed. I've downloaded official (branded) update and when I try to update with CWM I get error message:

assert failed:

assert(apply_patch_check("/system/bin/debuggerd", "167d3d3073d74cfefa0b78c93282c8e0a1a91404", "c03d6a9fba212a34a3f5d015791e821373ab2b6a"))

E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/HwOUC/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

So I have a few questions:

1. Could it be because of unlocked bootloader and/or root privileges?

2. Is it possible to use fastboot mode without risk of bricking the phone?

3. Is it safe to remove line from updater-script which check assertion of /system/bin/debuggerd ?

P.S.

Earlier CWM versions had option "toggle script asserts" - is it obsolete now?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] StarGazer1991:
Hi folks, could somebody give me some advice on my phone here. Just thismorning a few hours ago, i was viewing facebook when the app crashed, and made the entire phone crash. After restarting the phone, I cann't slide down the notification bar when its in the upright position, but if i hold the phone sideways with rotation turned on, i can slide it down then. This doesn't help much though.

Getting an alternate notification app doesn't fix the issue either.

Also, I can't enable USB tethering. I cable is fine and tested with other devices, but it never enables usb tethering for me.

I've cleared cache, reformated the phone a few times, and removed my SD card. Neither of the above issues have been fixed.

What else can I try, as I don't know if the store will replace it under warranty due to getting it unlocked to use on an alternate network.
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Similar thing happened to me. Official OTA updates were designed for non-modified system.

It also flashes some other partitions like modem and etc.

Assert function is used in script to patch some apps and system files, also (big thing) it changes you're firmware version permanently

and if you even have original stock rom, you want be able to flash again cause it's not the same version anymore.

Inside the OTA package is the update.app which has been unpacked to firmware partition and I noticed that when cwm recovery is present,

update doesn't finish the job. When I reflashed the stock, then it passed but screwed my fastboot logo.

So, if it's not neccessary, why even bother, rather grab the next higher version of stock firmware for you region or carrier and flash that one.

Remember downgrade isn't possible so if you go for a higher version, there's no return.

While you're there try to revert to your current stock firmware, if possible.

IMO, OTA updates are more pain in the a**, then useful.
[General Questions and Answers] kampinie:
Thanks for comment. I fully agree with your last sentence. I'd prefer to switch to stock firmware and get rid from bloatware but unfortunately I can't find one which would be appropriate (current is Y530-U00V100R001C150B179). I think that reverting to stock firmware would be possible but I presume problems with the rooting device which is tricky as we all can see reading this thread.

Regards, Ed
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
If you have your stock firmware and dload method works, then revert to default one.

Rooting is not a such a fuss anymore. Towelroot3 works...and even if you lose internal sd card visibility, you can easily "patch" the visibility back.

Use Towelroot then you can use Rootgenius1.8.3 from pc. If you would like to do everything from your device then try Kingoroot.app after TR3.

I tested my self and works pretty good. That's only option for B1XX firmwares.

Only firmware that works without flaw with Towellroot and SuperSU is B515. (B512 too, but it has quirks).

Also tested by myself on another device. As long you have a working (update-able) stock firmware, there's nothing to worry about.

If you mess something with root or debloating, flash it again, and you're good to go. A chance to learn few things more.

Cheers.

Hi everyone I made a new type forum to have a clean first post about everything. All suggestions are good!

http://xdaforums.com/android/general/huawei-y530-development-rooting-backups-t3142578
[General Questions and Answers] :
Great, seeder runs all the time, so I did a script to feed random data with rngd, something very simple, really, but let us concentrate in lmk and dalvik vm. I think I finally managed to get the vm heap settings for apps like firefox to run smooth, but my guess is you need a fairly clean Android (i.e. an Android with few apps installed). The problem was not entirely in LowMemoryKiller, it was too in build.prop as someone here suggested. So, please install universal init.d from market and activate the switch in it (don't do the test, not necessary). You can run the second line of code directly from a terminal emulator with root privileges and without installing Universal init.d but to stick this minfree values at boot you'll need it.

With a root explorer remount /system as rewritable and create a script (i call it lmk) with this content:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo 512,1024,2048,4096,24576,32768 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

These parameters are kind of multitasking on apps being used, but strict on background processes. The rationale is, if you are using your phone for something you kill any background processes (until you free 96 MB RAM for your apps in use), they will respawn when there is not much RAM being used (after you liberate those 96 MB of RAM).

After this, go to /system/build.prop and edit or add, if they are not there, the following lines:

dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m

These lines will change the way dalvik machine administers RAM to each app. I found out these settings are related more with screen resolution than with RAM, but these settings are not hardcoded by Android, they leave it to manufacturers to change them. In the begining the heap size was really low (because resolution was really low in the times of Gingerbread) and it was set to 16 or 32 o 48 MB. From ICS these parameters start changing and devices should use settings related with screen resolution and pixel density. Anyway, I found some build.prop references from similar phones with vanilla-esque Androids (Moto E/G, Nexus models) with our pixel density and screen resolution and used more adequate values. I'm not saying these are the best, but I think I'm getting close to.

After editing this lines in build.prop, save it and reboot. Let the apps you use for opimization work as they use to, launch Firefox and see if something runs better. In my test it runs fine (not a painful experience, not a OMG Kill me right now experience) without swap, so I'm hoping it runs better on swap. Let me know if something changes for you.

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] Found too a clue about live wallpapers support in /cust/carrier*/region*/prop/local.prop in a line that says "ro.config.hw_no_live_wallpaper=" you can use a logical value false or true. Since Live wallpapers work, maybe changing this value and performing a factory reset may fix the problem with "incompatible" apps from Play Store (like Facebook app being incompatible). Not sure about that, but it could help.

*carrier and region here refers to a folder named after your sim's carrier and your location's region
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Right on bro. I wanted to report that B515 had a live wallpaper option and even loaded themes from the web but in a hurry I flashed cust file and lost only chance to backup the clean 515 system.Since that, there's no option to see livewallpaper option or even download new themes. I've been messing with cust c*ap but didn't get to there yet.

So to [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] If anyone would flash the B515 don't flash the 2-nd cust file.

Wipe factory data and cache + Wipe dalvik cache then dload the Y530-U00 V100R001C900B515CUSTC432D001_Serbia_Channel.rar

There's no buttons in notification panel but there's a chance we can work this out.

Make CWM BACKUP!!!

Also, if you wanna root it...it's pretty easy and very clean.

Towellroot3 then go to recovery and install zip option the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip. NO INTERNAL SDCARD VISIBILITY LOSS!

NOTE: Since this is the last version of y530 rom, reverting (downgrade) wouldn't be possible so think twice before you proceed!!!
[General Questions and Answers] :
There is a wiki page for the Y530. While I think your initiative is great and welcomed, there is a lot more of details in the wiki page for some procedures. I would like to suggest you link to the wiki page as much as you can, of course, use your judgement to do so, as a suggestions too, you may update the links in the wiki page to redirect to your thread and the URLs you are inlcuding. This thread should have become a subforum a long time ago -_-'

I'd also like to say that all work on CM11 is PieroV's work and I really don't have a say on it. If I agree CM11 is a better bet than CM12 it is a personal opinion based on the compatibility of firmware with CM11's kernel, but I'm limited to debug PieroV's work in a very very rudimentary manner.
[General Questions and Answers] VisualTech48:
I made this mostly because of ROMS, backups and the Cyanogenmod development, but since some people even I can't find the wiki a lot of time I made it all in one page.

[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Image header files are created by Huawei update extractor you can delete them. What you need is boot.img and system.img files.

Before you flash them, make sure you erase partitions, at least system first then flash them so:

fastboot.exe erase system

then flash it by

fastboot flash system system.img
[General Questions and Answers] Juro.janosik:
hmmmm... to complicated for me. I stay with b512... THX for help

ok. i turn phone in dload mode and it works. (vol+, vol-, pow). :) i dont know why when i try do update from system it crash...
[General Questions and Answers] :
It is fine, just make sure you use the *.img and not the headers. I just did it myself and just rebooted seemingly fine. I wouldn't say it is all fine because I have not test it comprehensively, but it boots, I have signal, I'm connected to wifi, play store is notifying updates, etc.
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Try to flash stock recovery (if you have cwm). Extract (RECOVERY.img) from your rom with Huawei update extractor then flash it with fastboot.

First boot only to test. Go to fastboot mode Power+VolDown...

fastboot boot recovery.img - Now it should show you stock recovery 3e

Restart phone in fastboot again and then:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Try again dload method.
[General Questions and Answers] :
As a matter of fact, with this firmware you can root only flashing superSU.zip through CWM. No towelroot required, no exploit, therefore more secure. And I have to say I'm impressed, this firmware is way smoother, I haven't done anything to it and it behaves like a champion.
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Exactly. I personally didn't say nothing about it, cause I expected few people wold be interested in foreign firmware, non the less, it's good one.

Now on the other subject.

TWRP2.8.1.0

While I'm still setting up a linux and have some trouble with java versions setup with cm11 sources, I was tinkering on the TWRP Recovery for G630, from windows+carlivs kitchen, trying to "port" :D for Y530.

Progress so far:

- It boots

- Shows graphics but it turns off the screen...have to tap the screen and turn it on again with short power button taps.

- Touch works

- Commands work...what I was able to tap when visible

- Changed the theme from higher resolution to 480x854...theme looking good and follows every function tapped.

-Doesn't initialise when flashed.

But it won't stay stable. I've changed some settings to adapt for y530 in init.rc and default.prop

I believe this could work.

fstab file has the same map as y530 and good thing with TWRP is that partitions are handled automatically.

Any tips, ideas? :o

Hey. Firstly thanks for your reply. I have a huawei ascend y530-U00. I rooted it back in days. I used towelroot. But it owns internal storage. I hate that situation i decided to unroot. While i was rooted it i removed alot of apps by using es file explorer. And i unrooted it. But nowdays it start to disconnected itself and it connect itself..... While am using data. Or am not using. Sometimes it shows no line. I mean it says emergency calls only. Or invalid sim.... That is biggest problem. After seeing that. I decided to take official firmware from huawei site. And i flashed it but problem still persist. Now i want my huawei to be as new.i mean the ui. Because the firmware is have bad appearance.. . and also i want network to be good.

NB;

*My phone now is not rooted

* i want flash cmw but i dont know the steps.

*i didn't unlock the bootloader

*my phone is sim me unlocked by official codes.

Ok. First of all. At least you could read this forum thread and familiarize your self with the first steps how to modify your device.

Any kind of modding your device software REQUIRES UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER!!! It's a must!!!

So, my friend....first...send an email to mobile@huawei.com and ask for Bootloader unlocking code.

Read this forum thread, a new thread and wiki page.

When you get your code, use the program from this post

There you have CWM recovery installer...test-boot, flash it. After that, come here, read some more and you'll have your answer very soon.

Email template. Look at the time stamps...it's not hard to be polite and they answer fast every time.

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

New B515 test. From now, anyone who wants to try B515 it can be done without messing local and customised partitions an potions of software on your device.

Just the system one.

What you need is extracted boot.img and system.img files from update.app (B515) and flash it from fast boot. I'm writing the another script program for automated flashing-upgrade.

Just tested on another B183 and works awesome. Rooted just by UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip installed from CWM. Thanks CENTSOARER for the idea. ;)

I send email. I am waiting for reply. If they will reply...... Also my friend i am a newbie. Don't panic ....lets go slowly. Dont forget

First you need to be rooted.

Here is the fix for notification bar and themes:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54644594&postcount=304
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Wait for code, then unlock bootloader, after that, it's easy.

What you can do in the meantime is to find exact stock rom you have right now.

Try here.

If you find it, download and then unpack the dload folder to the root of your sdcard.

Backup your data first.

Turn your phone of, take out the battery, put back and press all three buttons at once and hold until you see beginning process.

Now it will reflash your stock firmware to default. If there's an error, it means that firmware can't be applied to your phone and you have to download some other,

maybe higher version for your region and carrier.

When you finish that, you'll be on stock.

Ask any question later.

Cheers ;)
