ok i finally got around to testing this, im using tomtom 6 with the maps located on my storage card. also using some mp3 i had on my storage card.

started music streaming to bluetooth HT820 headset, running ok. started tomtom up paused into tomtom splash screen (i thought oh ho this aint going to work too good) sure enough once the tomtom maps kicked in the gps and the headset stopped working (tomtom froze up).

as far as i could tell it wasnt that they wouldnt both run but they was both working from storage card and needed a high level of access to do it.

so in a nutshell i dont think this would be possible, this is using a 400 htz cpu and 128 memory

Hi All and Welcome !!

I wanted to start a thread regarding the Huawei Ascend Y530 phone. Main reason I'm doing this is because there is nothing much about this phone

on the Internet and here as well.

Goal of this thread is that everyone that knows something about this phone, from basic info, to rooting and SIM unblocking, puts his/hers knowledge here, thus making it accessible for everyone to see.

This model is not one of the top models there are, but it is getting popular (by my opinion). And because of that, there should be more information about it, and the things you can do with it.

I'm doing this from a reason that I too need some info about this phone, since I recently got one and it is SIM blocked. So, I would like if there is anyone out there that can help me and others, to find solutions for our problems regarding this model.

Internet outside of this site was not that helpful, but I hope people here will be.

P.S. I'm expecting interactive behavior from all who is posting, so answers should come from everyone, not just from me (I'm still newbe ;))

step 2: see picture text with the yellow arrow, will be different for you and this standard, we will need this path.

step 3: go in cust folder and open, rename the hw folder (for me tmn) like this in your cust.log

Step 4: Now open the folder you renamed and rename the normal folder (for me pt) like this in your cust.log.

Step 5: Go to settings, then reset factory data.

[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Ok fellas. I read this thread from beginning and I see there are still problems with rooting the device, so...

I'll share my experience.

I have y530 U00 B183 Telenor Serbia firmware. So if anyone use this one I guess there shouldn't be a problem.

Months ago, I unlocked my bootloader with code received from Huawei, but in my case, it erased all data and reset the device. Nevertheless, bootloader is unlocked.

It's an odd thing that I've tried to root this one with the King Root app, downloaded and installed into device, rooting was success, until I restarted the phone, and each time I had to assign External SD card as main storage so I could get internal visible. also tried to unroot, after that, and I couldn't root it again anymore. Tried with other tools and failed.

So few days ago, I've found exact rom I have from huawei site. There are few localised original roms, including Serbian Telekom, Telenor, Bosnian etc.

here is the link: http://consumer.huawei.com/rs/support/downloads/index.htm

I've tested the B183 Telenor and get back to exact state as new.

Rooting this rom wasn't easy but it was a success. I know someone would think it's crazy but here are the steps.

1. Installed TowelRoot app. Rooting was very fast, but, immediate loss of internal SD card. Next...

2. Downloaded KingO Root (Windows- KingoRoot ver.1.3.5) USB debug activated, and tried to push a King Root app...it pushed ADB Program (seen this first time) but still no internal memory visible, not even after restart. Then...

3. Root Genius v1.8.7 and voila....everything was in place. Internal memory functioned properly even after restart.

Ofc, this is what worked for me on B183. I've read on some other forum, that guys rooted B51X with Root Genius with no problem.

But...I'm on the safe side. Still didn't flashed CWM 'cause I would llike to dump original recovery, just to be safe. Bricking my phone is not an option.

I hope this will be helpfull.

And I have one question, so if anyone could help. Is it possible to flash dload B51X over B183 and if I decide to return to B183, do I have to do some downgrade and how.

If anyone could explain. Thanks in advance.

Cheers. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] :
I usually would not recommend firmware upgrades when they are not necessary, because they update EVERY partition with new images and, while some people have been asking for a downgrade method, theoretically possible, we don't have a straight practical answer. If they found a method, they did not share it.

Once said this, you can indeed use B5x on your B1x firmware, because we only modify SYSTEM, BOOT and some times RECOVERY partitions. DATA and CACHE have to be modified too, but this is common: to delete them is a factory reset.

So, somehow you can end up with a B1x firmware combined with a B5x system, which is somewhat self contained. You can always go back to the original firmware using the dload folder flash method. In case of bricking, you should save this original firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Thank you CENSOARER :)

Understood. I have the original B183 firmware, downloaded, for dload method. It's the exact rom my phone had when bought.

Now only thing I can do is to delete some apps and try to tweak it a bit.

What I would like, is to modify this one and make my own CWM backup, must say I still haven't flashed recovery.

As I see no one mentioned 100% sure that it'll be success to flash, and make usable backup...without bricking!

So far, I have original update so I can flash it over and over.

Hope to see some progress on new custom rom and hopefully using root with Super SU.

Thanks again.

Cheers ;)
[General Questions and Answers] :
Our CWM is based on stock kernel, so I would say it is safe to flash and we have tested thoroughly this build with a very high rate of success. Anyway, there's a useful Windows tool named Huawei update extractor here at XDA which will help you to extract your original B183 firmware image by image. Using this tool you can extract stock recovery in case something goes wrong and flash it again.

Anyway, you can (and I encourage you to do so) test CWM before flashing, using fastboot for both purposes. I'm pretty sure you are not going back to stock recovery after you try CWM.

About superSU, there's only one firmware I've tested wich works without flaws, this is B512. I had to flash it in my phone in order to test if this was true, but I guess I can post a V3 of my modded system as a CWM backup based on B512 firmware so you finally can use superSU instead of Kinguser app without the risk and waste of time of flashing a new firmware again.

I'm just offering a very basic modded stock ROM with hacks and mods and superSU instead of Kinguser.
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
I think that downgrading from modified stock ROMs should be possible, as they modify /system and boot.img only (all others are wiped), whereas it isn't possible from official dload, it refuses to...

There would be another way, which is writing each partition from recovery using dd or similar tools, but it's very dangerous.

I'm thinking about upgrading CENTSOARER's ROM without wiping... I think that advanced restore should do it...
[General Questions and Answers] :
That's my point. You can almost safely upgrade and downgrade a modded and custom ROM from CWM, but downgrading a stock firmware must be a pain in the... head. Using dd to do so is so dangerous because there are like 15 partitions there and you need to be certain (15 or so times) where to put each image.

I think it may work restoring only system partition and keeping data and cache as they are. This way you could upgrade to B512 and avoid to configure your system again. It would take time to test this.

On other topic, Piero, I've been tinkering with g630's CM11 and found in dmesg something inconsistent between working calls and CM11 calls an they are related with wcd9xxx, which I don't fully understand what it is. In stock JB dmesg is logging something like an index, a number, while CM11 does not. I went to CAF and found some patches related with sound fixes. I know I'm not saying too much to you, but I really think this has to do with in-call audio problem.
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
CENTSOARER, Piero, very forthcoming. Thanks.

Few things done already. I've used Huawei extract tool to get the original recovery image from UPDATE.APP original rom image. Done.

Tested the CWM recovery.img through ADB Toolkit, as suggested in Post #716 and it's working.

But still have some questions.

Is it possible to flash the old stock recovery the same way as CWM? It's an image right, and i guess same logic applies...or not?

Just in case I want to revert to old one. (Warranty reasons, you know.)

2nd. If I flash a CWM, will the dload method work normally as on stock recovery?

As for the your B512 CWM backup moded rom, it would be nice if you could upload it for testing. I guess there's few more of us that could find some use.

I'll keep study and test more and post the results here.

There will be more questions, as I go, but that's it for now.

Much oblige. ;)

In the next quote you have some answers that Cent gave to another guy... As for where to get the latest version, just Google for Facebook. apk and choose the one with the biggest number. When it's done downloading you can follow Centsoarer's steps.

[quote name="CENTSOARER" post=59404669]N

Our phone model is some sort of moronic smartphone and does not support live wallpapers and I don't know why but Facebook for Android is asking for live wallpapers to install the most recent versions. As I see it you have three options:

1) If you are not rooted: install an older version of Facebook for Android and configure Play Store to not update it automatically.

2) If you are rooted: push or copy the latest apk file to /data/app

3) If you are an advanced user/hacker: find a workaround to bypass this situation and share. I would say that changing some build.prop parameters will solve this, but I really don't use Live Wallpapers and certainly, if an app that is not a Live Wallpaper itself is making Live Wallpaper support mandatory, well, I wouldn't install it anyway.

It doesn't boot, but i used the blobs from G6 firmware. If you want to try the system to see if the sound calls is working, here is the link cm-11-20150318-UNOFFICIAL-Y530.

I think the problem with the booting part has to be related with the kernel. Something we still need to change in it.
[General Questions and Answers] :
When you say it does not boot, what do you mean? Screen turns off? Bootloop? Can you be more specific?

EDIT: [MENTION=6200942]PieroV[/MENTION], the little experiment worked good here. You can update SYSTEM patition only from my new backup to update your system and all apps seem to work fine. I didn't test thoroughly and I don't know about gapps. The only improvements are going to be the Xposed framework compatibility, some other build.prop hacks, newest extremebeats mod and of course superSU compatibility. I wish I knew what is the file or files which prevents superSU to work properly so you don't need to reflash the whole system image... but I think is safer to use superSU anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Hi,

You can flash recovery in the same way: you can use fastboot, or, if you have a rooted system, you can use some apps that you can find in Play store.

As CENTSOARER said, could you be more specific please?

And could you share your vendor directory? I'd be very grateful :)

I was thinking to upload to GitHub my device directory as soon I would have fixed blobs (the kernel is already uploaded).
