Hi, I'm currently using a slight modified version of stock firmware (not Centsoarer's, yet) and it has lots of language, including Spanish (Spain and Latin America).

You can use stock image without passing through custom recoveries (Clockworkmod), or, if you want to, you can install Centsoarer's using Clockworkmod.

I haven't still checked his ROM because I don't want to reinstall apps etc, but other users provided a very good feedback.
[General Questions and Answers] :
If all you want is a stock ROM with more languages you hace lots of options. Search in Huawei New Zealand or Colombia and you'll find one. Justo make dure it has a compilation number >B188 or equal.

Now, you are close to have a custom recovery image. You obviously have used fastboot before and you only need two more commands (even one) to get CWM and the ability to perform Nandroid Backups and get some mods if you use my B509 backup that I can assure you it has spanish locale.

Anyway you go, is likely you'll get what you want and good riddance. Here some links to firmwares:

Have you init.d activated?
[General Questions and Answers] jehemera:
i dont know how to activie init.d. can u help me? ty very much.
[General Questions and Answers] :
I suspect this value is hardcoded. I tried changing ro.lcd.backlight value to 1 in build.prop and results in a value of 10 inside the archive you mentioned.

All I have to offer is a command to change quickly the value. This command can be used as an init executable thru SManager (to set at boot), you can use Command Runner too to have a direct access to the tweak and change the value easier anytime, test before in terminal emulator as root:

echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/fd900000.qcom,mdss_mdp/qcom,mdss_fb_primary.126/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
I think that the Motorola is better in everything.

150€ for a Y530 is definitly too much.

I've paid it less than 130€ (in Italy) in May 2014. I think that now it costs 90€.

The main problem of Y530 is its RAM: only 512MB, so I suggest you to avoid buying it.

I'm quite sure it's quite hardcoded, I think I have seen it somewhere in sources, maybe a macro in the kernel...
[General Questions and Answers] jehemera:
thank you [MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6200942]PieroV[/MENTION], i thing also this value is hardcoded that means i need a custom kernel i thing. anyway i found in same folder a value max_brightness and i changed it from 255 o 1 and now the brightness stays all time at 1. thx guys and i hope someday we will have a custom kernel/rom for our phone.

CENTSOARER rom camera bug

Hello,

firstly I want to say that I'm following this thread from the very beginning and thank you for all of your hard work.

I have the U00 Y530 and I flashed CENTSOARER modded rom, it's not perfect but much better than any stock firmware. Today I noticed that the camera show only 5MP resolution, no option for the 8MP, tried with stock and other 2 camera apps, same problem. Could it be because U051 rom with U00 phone compatibility bug or I'm the only one with this issue. I use XposedFrameworks with Gravitybox + some other modules, could be a conflict from those?
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Hi, the back camera has 5MPx...
[General Questions and Answers] DanX1994:
Oh...sorry my mistake :)
[General Questions and Answers] :
The firmware I posted is far from perfect, but now I'm a bit curious about what's not working on it and see if we can make it a little better.

On topic, I had a phone some time ago. This phone has a build.prop with a line "ro.camera.interpolation.enable=1". This way the kernel interpolated the RAW camera resolution so your photos where 5Mp instead of 2Mp. I never liked it so I disabled it with a 0 value. You may want to try this.

||||||||||||||||||||||||About Superuser apps||||||||||||||||||||||||

One thing that has been worrying some people here is the superuser app. I've been doing some research on this problem and, for some reason I still don't get, it seems like any other superuser app, except Kinguser, fails at calling su binary after rebooting the phone. The su binary is still there with proper permissions but somehow it fails being called. I got into this because I noted that Kinguser 3.4.8 (the most up to date) had a lot of CPU wakelocks thus unnecesary battery drainage. So I tried to make superSU work and it worked if I rooted with towelroot, but the root didn't persist after a reboot no matter what method I used.

Curiously Kinguser can call the su binary, no matter what su binary you install, provided it was built for JB/arm. Anyway, I tried with all other superuser apps and they behave similar to superSU. So, what's different with kinguser? I still don't know but now I don't trust it. As soon as I installed a previous version (3.4.0) and started its GUI it updated su binary and itself somewhat abusing of its privileges. I had to rebuilt a kinguser 3.4 without internet permission and install it, take this as a heads up.
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
You're right! Maybe you could arrive to 8MPx, which is the limit of MSM8610, or maybe more, however, as you said, interpolation doesn't sound good...

Could you be more clear please? Did you see something on logcat?

Superuser should be based on SuperSU, as far as I know... I've been playing with the latter, but the only problem I had it was the problem with storage, which was mounted as root.

Did you try installing with CWM?

We shouldn't need anymore exploits like Towelroot.

Did it ask you to? I had to accept manually its update...
[General Questions and Answers] :
I always rooted with towelroot + rootgenius. It just works. Yesterday I noticed that if I root using towelroot and pushing kinguser apk to data or system, it still just works as well. This is cool because we actually don't need a PC to root.

So, I tried trusty superSU knowing about storage problem and uninstalled kinguser. As soon as I started it, it proposed me to update binaries, so it deleted the towelroot su binary and replaced with its own, everything worked perfect before reboot, but after rebooting, su binary couldn't be called by superSU.

I went to xbin folder and there it was, the same su binary (MD5) with the same permissions, but superSU could not reach it. Before rebooting superSU worked as well as Kinguser with any su binary. This same behaviour goes to other well known superuser apps which can't get root privileges after reboot, but not kinguser, this one remains.

Yes, I did try installing superSU using CWM. AAMOF, I'm using this su binary along with kinguser 3.4.0 without internet permission.

About autoupdates, it does autoupdate su binary with it's own version and without confirmation, as soon as you open kinguser's GUI, it will use its provided permission to do it. If you go to settings and check for updates, it starts downloading updates, I don't remember now if with or without confirmation.

I'm not acusing of anything here. I did not see anything weird in logcat and I'm not a developer or someone who can auditate software, I just find this behaviour sort of unethic and official website really doesn't make me feel alright. So, as I said, heads up.

Working on building CWM right now (my first time though)

I'm not touching anything on the phone besides rooting before i get CWM up and a dump of the stock rom in full.

I just hope flashing CWM wont brick it
[General Questions and Answers] rryan:
razkal, here's what you can try;

Boot into fastboot mode

Plug in usb

fastboot erase <partition> (boot, system,...) depends if you ruined boot or system or something else

fastboot flash boot boot.img (for example)

fastboot here

to enter fastboot disable fastboot in settings menu, power off phone, hold power+vol down until it hangs.

OR "adb reboot bootloader" but i guess if it wont boot you can't use adb.

if you need system.img give me a yell.

Let me know if it helps

On a side note i also learned that fastboot might be the way to get a working CWM without risk of bricking since we can soft load images without flashing.
[General Questions and Answers] fitztu:

Force upgrade

1. Copy the entire dload folder from Software Main Package file path to the root directory of the MICRO SD card.

2. Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the MICRO SD card into the handset. Press the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN key, and then press the POWER key to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode.

3. When the progress bar stop, the phone will restart, if not , you need to remove the battery manually.

4. Delete the existing dload folder on SD card

This "HwAllBackup.apk" is from B189 firmware, NEVER delete pre-installed apps from huawei, disable it but never delete. It brings bugs as usual. For example, if you delete huawei's file manager, you internal storage (sdcard0) will be unwritable. So be careful with it.

[General Questions and Answers] highspeedlowdrag:
Very nice to know. I went ahead and reflashed already. So far I've:

- Rooted with towel root(geohot).

- Commented out shutter sound & secure volume in build.prop.

- Deleted apps in /cust/...delapp; bitcasa, ect.

I think its about time I make a back up.

Are most of the settings baked into the kernel? I'm a little worried about modifying/replacing some of the libraries for fear ill soft brick and need to reflash once again.

Is there a method for turning off sound on the count down timer for the front facing camera?
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Hi, MSM8610 and MSM8210 are quite the same, the only difference is supported networks.

In /system/build.prop there is MSM8610, because at kernel source level, they are the same.

The reason I can't compile a custom ROM is that I had to restart patching drivers, which takes lots of time, because when you start changing a thing you have to change lots of other things...

Here is a ,,VS"

http://system-on-a-chip.findthebest...00-MSM8610-vs-Qualcomm-Snapdragon-200-MSM8210
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Sorry, but this link does not prove anything and it's very incomplete as regards MSM8610.

MSM8610 and MSM8210 are MSM8x10 and part of Snapdragon 200 series.

This is the official feature list, from Qualcomm, the developer of the chips, is this: https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/snapdragon-200-processor-product-brief.pdf

Unfortunately there aren't any datasheet, but I've found another site with information:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a8610aq&c=qualcomm_snapdragon_200_msm8610

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a8210aq&c=qualcomm_snapdragon_200_msm8210

As you can see the differences are only supported networks.

Normally we refer to MSM8610 as platform instead of MSM8x10: in official Huawei kernel they do, too (from arch/arm/boot/dts/huawei-y530-u00-va-v1.dts):

/include/ "msm8610-v1.dtsi"
/include/ "msm8610-qrd.dtsi"

What's matter isn't 8210 or 8610, but 8x10, that is "SoC from 200 series, dual core processor".

I need some information about my phone

Hello everyone, as the title says, I need some information about my phone :

First, the most important :

Recently, I feel like when, I turn my phone off, It still use energy :

For instance, I turned off the phone (9P.M), battry = 70%

Hi, could you make it discharge to 0 and then charge it fully, please? It should calibrate the battery...

If it doesn't help, can you install please some battery toolkit? Sometimes Android goes crazy with battery charge (it happend to some friends of mine with different phones).

As regards ROMs, I'm working on it.

I'll have to pause the development because I have some important things to do, but I'm willing to start again.

I managed to build Cyanogenmodo 11, but it doesn't boot (OpenGL finishes memory, a system call fails etc...).

I have to work on the kernel.

At the moment we have a modified stock ROM (CENTSOARER's), but it's still based on Android JB 4.3.

You can simply disable fastboot in settings :) (note: this fastboot isn't the command)

Hi guys.

Simple question: how to downgrade? From b510 to b189.

Phone: y530-U00

Root: yes

Unlocked bootloader: yes

Tried:

1. Unpack b189 and reflash via fastboot (system, userimage, boot, recovery). No problem with flash but I have same issues with system.

2. Unpack b189 and b510, switch some files (OEMSBL_VER, etc), repack and reflash va SD. Does not go.

3. Custom rom from this topic (b189), and then clean b189. Does not go.

Biggest problem:

I can't change wallpaper and theme. In any way. Phone stuck on default.

I just need to flash clean, untouched b189 (full update.app) over b510. Any help?
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Hi, I can't suggest more ways, but, could you clarify more these points, please? (numbers refers to your list)

1. What problems have you got with system?

2. It probably doesn't work because there are some integrity checks or signatures.

3. Have you cleaned /data and /cache ? Otherwise it won't work...

You can't change theme because, IIRC, theme app was removed, you should install the apk from the original firmware.

Have you tried to change background from gallery or other apps?

Are you using stock huawei launcher? Because other launchers (at least Nova) can change background using their settings...
[General Questions and Answers] :
Downgrading is somewhat unknown for me, pretty much I would go the way you did, maybe a complete fstab while compiling CWM and a good XML profile for Huawei Update Extractor can do the trick with quite some work.

Anyway, I had a similar problem with themes. I solved it renaming one folder. Open /data/custom.bin and write down the contents. After this go to /cust and you'll probably have a folder named "hw". Change the name of this folder for the name in custom.bin and make sure the folder structure is correct.
[General Questions and Answers] kjxxx:
ad1. Can't change wallpaper / theme and b189, for me, was faster.

ad2. Agree, need to find a way to bypass this ;)

ad3. Of course, many time. Factory reset from phone and full wipe from recovery (stock and CWM).

ad4. In stock b510 there's "theme.apk" and there are few themes to select. And many many wallpapers.

ad5. Fcuk. Tried now and.... can chcange. But only from gallery. And can't return to default.

ad6. Yep, clean, stock rom with default launcher. Maybe later I'll try others launchers.

custom.bin = rcon/pl

So, change "hw" to "rcon?

edit: Fcuk me! It works! First folder from "hw" to "rcon", and second from "eu" to "pl". And now I can change themes and notification bar is back! I LOVE YOU!

Thank you very much, guys!

proximity sensor failure

Hey, from one day to another, my proximity sensor start doing strange things. If I answer a call, or call somebody, the proximity sensor doing just fine, turns off the screen, but suddenly, it activates my screen, even if i hold it in the same position so i don't know whats going on. I tried some sensor tester, i hold my hands abot 2 cm from the sensor, and after a while it switches to 'far', even if i holding my hand in the same position. anybody knows what should youse this problem?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] :
If you are rooted you can tweak proximity delay in build.prop editing/adding the line ro.proximity.delay=n. Where "n" is a number in miliseconds (commonly between 25 to 150). There could be an app with root permission setting proximity value to something goofy like 3000 miliseconds. Just a suggestion.

If you are rooted and with CWM, extremebeats is an excellent audio mod. It will improve overall audio and, of course, you can get more volume with a correct configuration.
[General Questions and Answers] csuha:
Thanks for reply, but i think it is more likely that the proximity sensor goes to the 'far' mode after some time, about 20 sec. If i switching between far-near it is just working fine, but if i hold near to the sensor, after about 20 second it switches to far... :/
