Actually it's not that bad.

I had far more problems with Samsung Galaxy mini2 s6500 or some Sony Xperia models than with Y530.

Almost forgot, girlfriend has HTC Desire 500 (which is 2x more expensive then my Huawei here in Croatia) and keyboard disappears once a week.

I have had this phone for about 5 months and not a single thing went wrong.

I only have one problem. Low internal memory. Lost.dir or DCIM folder (or both, dont know)

create some files that go up to 800 mb sometimes! And it was even more when i had more pics on the phone.

Don't know is that cache or something, but it's driving me mad sometimes 'cause I can't recive pics with viber until I delete those folders.

And they keep always piling up. Don't know why.

Phone rooted

[General Questions and Answers] :
Did you take *.odex files to /system/app?

On other news I have a very obnoxious problem with CPU scaling. I don't know why, but Android or some root app sets continuously the min cpufreq scaling value to 1.2 GHZ! I have tried tens of fixes, I even wrote a script to set normal values at boot, but they don't persist. Eventually android goes back to a 1.2 GHz minimum cpu speed and obviously, my battery life is really a nightmare. CPU Spy gets some other frequencies lectures, but max speed goes 98% and higher. As it sets minimum to 1.2 GHz, my phone goes from max CPU speed to Deep Sleep. I'm so angry with this!

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

About the huge files, they are probably inside DCIM. Create a text file with some random text (LoremIpsum-esque) inside DCIM folder and name it .thumbnails. If there is an .thumbnails file you can safely delete it before doing this.

One other topic, people with different firmwares, could you make a fresh cwm backup and upload it somewhere? This could be an advatage to test different firmwares without modyfing some delicate partitions. Also, as a backup. I hav to say I am in the delicate situation that I don't have stock firmware not even as cwm backup. I don't think a factory reset will do.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

EDIT: About the first issue I wrote in this post I just want to give you a heads up on it. I don't know why but when you install AcDisplay, an app using Xposed framework, I believe there's a bug that changes scaling_min value in cpufreq configuration. I'm not developing the app, but it is a major problem if you are developing such a beautiful and useful app or if you are using it. So, could anyone help me to confirme this bug? Anyone trying to help should have Xposed framework installed and install AcDisplay.

is any solution for downgrade y530???

I have installed b511 rom and it is very bad.

Flash the so-called Custom ROM with CWM. Make a Nandroid Backup before you do this. It still will be detected as B511, but all system files are gonna be B189. I think you can try at least.give it a shot.

[General Questions and Answers] :
No one else has reported this issue before. First things first: What filesystem do you use for your storage? Have you tried a fat32 just-formated external sd? What error reports CWM? Can you try to mount your external storage (/storage/sdcard1) and after this go to advanced menu in CWM and select report error? This last thing could not work since you report CWM is not mounting storage/sdcar0.

One other thing that could give some hint is to get info about your partition table. You need a computer and adb shell to get this information. Connect your phone to the computer, reboot to recovery, open adb shell as root with su and run "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0" and use "p" as token, wait, copy an paste here the results, exit from GNU parted using "quit" and again do something similar for external sd (parted /dev/block/mmcblk1). As a reference, here is my partition info from the whole internal memory, obtained with parted:

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

I didn't use my SDcard memory as main memory.should I try it ?

I alreadyhave formated it to fat32.But when I go to cwm recovery and try : - instal zip -chose file from /storage/sdcard1

A message comes up. .. E:can't mount storage/sdcard1

I need a nandroid backup .Yeah. Shoul work with cwm.but same thing : backup and restore - backup to storage/sdcard1

same mesaage E:can't mount storage/sdcard1 .

I instaled the online nandroid backup and it worked just to get into cwm recovery and it started the backup but clearly says no memory . I tried it again this time it says 650 mb free. and it stopped the backup . Now I dont have any memory left just 93mb internal and i dont have any Idea how to delete the stopped backup becouse its not good .it stopped in the middle.

when I connect it to my computer , yeah I have a lot memory but on the phone still low memory warning .

I'm shure that the problem is in the cwm recovery that I instaled,

when i try the stock : fastboot boot name.img

i can go to storage ..

soo any Ideas on my problem to solve it

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] :
It seems like CWM is recognizing your sdcard1 as sdcard0 (external as internal). A CWM backup takes more than 1 GB and this is why you are out of memory, because CWM can't accomplish to backup all your stuff in such a little space left. That's precisely why the default directory to backup is /storage/sdcard1 (external), internal sd never has enough space. In CWM, go to mounts and storage menu, can you mount any of the /storage/sdcardx mountpoints?

It's important to know some partition info in your device. Please, do what I said in my previous post with original recovery and again with CWM, if you don't feel that secure using console, at least connect your phone open adb shell and do a "cat /proc/mountpoints".

About the original recovery: link to the B194 recovery extracted with Huawei Update Extractor.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

Yes, that custom ROM is not really helping here. I had the same issue. The thing that worked for me was to mount system, cache and data partitions, format the three of them, aditionally I wiped dalvik cache, all this with CWM. After that I restored my nandroid backup and rebooted. This may be risky, as you say your system at least works. As an easier solution I would push or copy any Launcher.apk to /system/app or /data/app and try to use this alternative launcher instead of whatever that custom ROM is carrying.

Good luck to both of you.
[General Questions and Answers] Konh3015:
I will try that with stock..

yeah I tried b189 with huawei extractor and it boots up and mounts sdcard1 and sdcard0 simple as that it works

but problem is that the stock dont have the option too backup and stuff you know .

i will try now b194

i let you know if something changed
[General Questions and Answers] tudorveyron:
ADB?

Yeah,but how to flash it?Should I use adb or something else?

Cause I don't know how to work with adb.
[General Questions and Answers] :
You will have to learn. The only difference here is the file to download, instead of recovery I named it B194_RECOVERY.img. Rename B194_RECOVERY.img to recovery.img and put this renamed file inside "platform tools" folder so you can flash it with the same instructions in that post.

Think about what you are doing. I don't think that flashing an original recovery will get you out of your problems. After all, the only thing this original recovery will do is to wipe data and cache partition, but won't modify the system you are using. You better try before to copy a launcher apk file to /system/app as I told you before.

do you need to connect phone to an adapter???

if yes. : you can not connect adapter to y530 by cable.because y530 does not support usb otg.

but if you can connect adapter by bluetooth . yes you can use this app fully.

Similarities to Moto-E

Hi, this is my first post on XDA. English isn't my native language, I'll try to do my best...

First of all, thanks to everybody for the information, especially to CENTSOARER for the recovery and noise tribe for the ROM :)

I've managed to flash it. I had problems with my old Kingston microSD (it was an old 2GB card), but I've solved with a brand new SDHC.

I've tried to read the whole discussion, but I didn't see a very useful information: our phone is very similar to Motorola Moto-E, except that the latter has 1GB of RAM.

Both the device have a snapdragon msm8610.

Moto-E already has some CMs, like Cyanogenmod 11 and 12, here on XDA.

I've never worked on a CM, but I've downloaded the sources, but I'm not very sure on modification to do.

I don't know especially about sensors (light, distance and accelerometer...).

I think that we can do something together and I hope that helps.

[General Questions and Answers] tudorveyron:
I am using Windows 7 and my PC reads the phone,but the ADB doesn't,and I thing my phone is in USB Debug mode.But even like that I can't access the settings or over things from my phone because sometimes it just boots up with no launcher,over times is just staying in a boot loop.
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
I had boot loop, too, but it was because I didn't remember to clean cache... Please try to go to CWM and do it.

If your phone is in debug mode, when you plug it, there is a notification. I think that you should see without a launcher, too.

Another reason for your problems could be that after you have flashed your phone, it lost permissions: you should give the permission to your computer again.

Is your bootloader unlocked?
[General Questions and Answers] tudorveyron:
Yes.But,if my bootloader is locked,why I just could root my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Rooting doesn't depend on the bootloader, whereas recovery does.

As far as I know, when you root your device, you are using an exploit, so you have temporary root permissions, which you use to restore the "su" command, which is used on Unix system to become root.

The recovery image, instead, is loaded by the bootloader, so if the latter checks it and fails, it doesn't boot it...

Ok,but how to flash it?Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] :
If you flashed the custom ROM is possible you are not rooted (it says it's rooted, but it's not). The way your phone is detected by your PC can determine if you have ADB access to the phone too. This should not be a problem using CWM recovery, so try this:

0) Connect your phone to the PC

1) Boot into CWM recovery. If you flashed another recovery, you'll need to reflash CWM recovery using fastboot.

2) In CWM recovery GUI, mounts menu, mount system partition.

3) In your PC, copy the Launcher2.apk in the same directory where is adb.exe located

4) Use adb push to copy the apk file inside /system/app

adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app

5) Reboot and cross your fingers.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

I f you want to go back to the original firmware then you should extract the zip file. You'll find a folder named "dload" after this. Put this folder in your sd card (in both of them if possible), not inside any other folder and boot into bootloader (adb reboot bootloader). The official update process should start after this.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Alternatively, if you only want to extract some partitions you better use Huawei Update Extractor (you can find it here at xda). With this tool you can extract from the official firmware all .img files for each and all of your partitions, this files can be flashed using fastboot. For example, if you only want to flash system partition, extract the correspondent .img file, boot into bootloader and flash it with

fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img

HELP ME

Can anyone help me.I have no idea what to do right now.When I conect my phone to my compuer 99% of the phone storage is free but on my phone not like that somthin' is messt up here i don't know.
[General Questions and Answers] :
OK, look, from your /proc/partitions the one thing that is kind of weird is the way your sdcard gets recognized by the system. Your sdcard is recognized as mmcblk1 and should be mmcblk1p1. This is something strange as every partitioning I've seen is indeed mmcblk1p1. There are raising more questions in my mind, but the final objective here is to get your sdcard formatted as it should be.

So I'm gonna skip the "how did you formatted" part an go directly to the point, is this happening with other sd cards? If it is happening with other cards something is wrong with the way you are formatting the sd cards or the way your phone mounts them. If not, maybe, problem solved. If you can't test with another sd card try this with the one you have:

1) Assuming you know what is a partition and you know how to partition your sdcard (I recommend an sd adapter and EASUS Partition Master, which is free as in free beer), you should create one big primary fat32 partition with the total capacity minus 1MB and a second little 1MB sized primary partition. This way, the system should recognized the first as mmcblk1p1.

2) If you don't feel like partitioning sdcards or don't have an adapter. You could try different methods than the one you used to format your sdcard with a fat32 filesystem. But this, maybe, is like killing an elephant with slaps.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Find out if your bootloader is locked.... reboot into bootloader (adb reboot bootloader). Once in bootloader use fastboot to find out (fastboot oem get-bootinfo). It seems like it is locked.
[General Questions and Answers] Konh3015:
I formated my external sd card to fat32 and it does not make any difference.But I assume that you know that my problem is the internal memory.

I have now line 90 mb just for apps when I connect it to my comp. you can see on the photo that I uploaded on my recent

reply its over 900 mb free soo what about that

or you was talking about the internal the whole time ?
[General Questions and Answers] :
OK, I was talking about your CWM problem, not this.

They are both related, I think. First, you couldn't make a nandroid backup to your external sdcard because of the mmcblk1p1 problem I explained in my previous post. Second, you tried anyway to make a nandroid backup and CWM had to put it inside "data" partition. Data partition is where all the apps are going to be installed, so you have little space there, because of the failed backup. Your internal storage is in another partition, it has its own size, its own rules. What you need to get that space back is to delete the failed nandroid backup with a file manager tha can access root (like X-plore or Root Explorer or Ghost Commander), you need to configure it to have root and authorize its root access with Kinguser or superSU or whatever you use. After this go into /data or maybe /data/media and find a folder named "clockworkmod" and delete it. That should fix this full storage problem.
