[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Hi, please download everything from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxPaYGw65OY5QlZJMTd0WUVDZ3M&authuser=0

The device folder is device_huawei_y530_prealpha2.tar.xzma. Since you have the Android ROM SDK I think that you are on Linux, so you won't have problem to decompress it... I had to use this format because it produces the lightest files...

You need proprietary files too, and kernel and display-caf-legacy and media-caf-legacy. You can find everything here: https://github.com/AscendG630-DEV

Please note that this repository isn't mine, all credits goes to users from this forum, where they are developing for G630: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=935519 (in Spanish language...).

At the moment I've managed to make bluetooth working, just copying firmwares. I stopped at pairing devices, because the bluetooth in my Debian installation doesn't work very well.

Note that they should be automatically mounted, but there isn't the mount point (/firmware).

You can create it in the ramdisk, but I had some reboot problems, so I linked it to /vendor/firmware, where I copied manually the working firmwares.

I managed to copy all firmwares but modem.* without reboot problems. I haven't copied these ones because I needed to have my phone features, so I had to restore stock firmware.

As regards WLAN, there are some problems with the .ini configuration file (the one in /system/etc/wifi in stock firmware, I don't remember its name, but it's the only one): the kernel can't find it. It seems that with firmwares the kernel can recognize WLAN.

Other immediate things that I'd like to get working are brightness and "buttons": the brightness because it prevents the unlocking (the screen remains at 0 brightness, but unlocks and the touchscreen handles inputs), and buttons because at the moment only back works great. I managed once to get menu working as it should and I configured to list opened apps, but at next reboot it behaved as it wanted. Using an Android device only with back button is very hard...

Talking about your work... Have you a Y530 or have you a G630?

And what kernel would you like to make working?

I was thinking that since we have Jelly Bean kernel working we should use it, than remove as many as possible Huawei patches and then try to port the KitKat kernel.

I've been working a lot on the kernel for these devices, but it's quite complex... Linux is a huge project...

Be careful with modifying build.prop .. thats how razkal bricked his.

I'm not looking into changing anything yet before i can get CWM up and make a nandroid.

When thats done i'll be having a go at porting CM.

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

For these things to work (livewallpaper and what have you) it needs to be flashed with a new (or modified) rom.
[General Questions and Answers] pardalslb:
Internal sd card/backup

I dont know why, but i lost the ability to use the internal sd card. I didnt chage anything in build prop or any other stuff.

I can see the data when i plug mu phone to pc, but when i use an explorer , i cant see any data in internal sd card.

I already made a factory reset and the problem continues. Also, i cant use backup, since the app says it cant find any backup in the sd card.

Anyone knows why?
[General Questions and Answers] ABi69:
Same here... It happend after rooting the phone with towelroot.

Another problem is that i can't use themes any more.

Sadly i haven't found a solution until now...

Maybe it's a mistake that ist corrected in towelroot v2.
[General Questions and Answers] MetalDranzer:
Oof, makes me glad I didnt unroot Vroots version and use Towelroot.

Anyone else get a prompt for a system update yesterday? I've not been prompted since I got the phone then all of a sudden it popped up yesterday. funny how it appeared shortly after Towelroots release.

[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Good work so far. New here. Been reading for a while. Something odd is happening with my y530. I have it for a couple weeks and I noticed when I connect the phone to PC with usb cable nothing happens. Drivers installed. It detected first time when I restarted phone in a fast boot mode. Next thing I've done is factory reset first time since I obtained the device and everything was ok. Usb connecting normaly. After few days same thing again, nothing happens when connected to pc.

Just to report if anyone has simmilar problem. My build is B183 Telenor SR.
[General Questions and Answers] rryan:
Same thing happens to me as well, havent figured it out yet
[General Questions and Answers] IcemanSR:
Telenor SR has nasty bug with usb

it stops responding after screwing up with developer options, the only way to fix it known to me is factory reset.

And to put some other rom or other version 189 lets say.

(media modul which is responsible for usb handling gets disabled by it self for me unknown reason,i didn't had phone in my possession long enough to investigate the cause)

SD card access problem after rooting can be fixed with permissions fixes i mentioned above,same thing happened to samsung galaxy note 3 i rooted few days ago.(after rooting)

although sd card write problem appeared only while using certain managers(total commander example) ,while others did not had that problem (stock manager)
[General Questions and Answers] pardalslb:
Didnt work. I even used

Nextapp SD fix.

I was thinking of unrooting phone ,see if internal sd is working properly and then root again, but this time,with towelroot v2

Tried unroot with supersu but didnt work,i guess ill have to search another method
[General Questions and Answers] Toadzilla 616:
i experienced the same kind of problem as mentioned above... after rooting with Vroot i cant use theme chooser nor backup and USB connection bug as well..btw my firmware telekom 179B . This phone is weird
[General Questions and Answers] pardalslb:
Dont worry, im sure everything is gonna be fine as soon as a costum rom is built.

I had an ascend g302d before this phone and took me more than a year to make the progress people here made in Litlle more than a week.

There are some realy good users trying to take this phone to the next level,have faith!
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Thanks. I thought something like that could be a problem. Just to say, I didn't root with anything. Still stock. Waiting for a tested recovery to backup original system. I've downloaded B189 from android-hilfe. Not sure if it's ok to update over a Telenor SR for many reasons. And want to be sure. Wouldn't like to brick it after a month of using.

So far works ok and already spotted few bugs. I'll continue testing and if I can help in anyway, I'll report here. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] IcemanSR:
"brick" people usually make mistake between hard and soft brick.

soft can't hurt your phone ,it is easily rectified with flashing over.

Just wait till you get proper cwm recovery then everything is open for play

About sd card access ,its all about either manager u are using ,that is not properly written to bypass the issue (like total commander) or is permissions in phone gone wrong.Both are fixable.

Best you can do is to backup entire rom stock,get cwm and then make custom rom with libs from this phone,it might even be compatible with kitkat
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Thanks Iceman. (zemo razumemo se) Waiting for CWM it is. Been using total commander earlier but it never been so good as a pc version, so I got my hands on ES File Explorer. Must admit, it's a really good tool. So many more options.

Sadly I'm not a developer so I wouldn't even try to mess with that. Tweaking few things, editing couple scripts here and there, flashing, testing yes, but I'll leave the hard core stuff to the experts. I have faith something will come up eventually.

The g510 is very similar but its dual sim and has android 4.1 maybe porting twrp recovery from g510 may work It has same resolution same screen size, ram and internal storage even hase the same gpu
[General Questions and Answers] IcemanSR:
You need Y530 kernel,therefor you cannot use g510

basically you need proper mount points and kernel.Rest is simple things.

If your bootloader is locked there should be no problem. But I think you can get rejected if they know it is unlocked. Of course you can lock it again, but my guess is they will notice.

[General Questions and Answers] Sak32009:
Hoping that someone else will add to help...
[General Questions and Answers] :
Hi and welcome to this boat.

Well, the important things are as follows:

1. We can build CWM from latest CM sources.

2. PieroV has built CM11 succesfully, but there are a lot of things not working. CM boots right to default launcher, but only back key works as expected, no signal, no wifi, no bluetooth, etc.

3. Some pages (3?) prior this one, PieroV posted a link to this build. You can contribute debugging.

4. Huawei released kernel source code, but it is heavily patched, PieroV found the exact tag of the kernel which Huawei based its work.

5. The device has a msm8x10 chipset, adreno 302. It is very similar to Moto E, Phicomm c230w, Xperia E1 (or Z1? Can't remember).

6. Some Moto G system apps are compatible with this device when adb pushed.

7. There are no custom ROMS yet. We don't even know clones or synonyms. Similarly, we don't know of the existence o firmwares not based on 4.3, excepting some guy who claims his y530 came with Android 4.2.

8. U00 and U051 are practically the same.

9. We can unlock bootloader (by official method) and root (mostly using Root Genius). We can flash CWM and works as intended. Some firmwares, at least all I have tested, can't use superSU without messing internal sdcard permissions and access. Chinese Kinguser superuser app does not have issues.

10. We don't have custom kernels with, say, init.d support or better cpu governors, etc.
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Nice summary :)

I'd add some points:

1. Our target is CM11, which is based on KitKat. We probably won't be able to discuss about Lollypop (or CM12) until we won't solve CM11 problems.

2. There isn't any alias, but we should keep an eye to Ascend G630: it's from Huawei, it has SoC similar to ours, but more it's more powerful (quad core processor and 1GB of RAM, but firmware is 4.3 has Emotion UI)

3. Unlocking bootloader requires a code sent directly by Huawei. Our model isn't supported by online request form nor by DCUnlock. We fortunately can access directly to fastboot with Power + VolDown.

4. There aren't custom kernel, yet, but some features could be added to stock kernel by modifying ramdisk. Y530 default governor is "ondemand" and it was modified by Huawei. In kernel sources there are other governors: they haven't been modified, but they work at least in Cyanogenmod (I have tried them). Heavily modified kernels (source, not ramdisk) don't boot: the led blinks in blue. I don't know the reason, yet.

5. Don't confuse Y530 with Y300 or G510: they are very different.
[General Questions and Answers] Kombuk:
I have one problem. When i click power button screen dont wont to light up so i must click it few times fast and then i can unlock phone. Does this happens to someone too or only on my phone. Im using centsoarers rom. Maybe this problem is like on PieroV CM build.

I can use screen while it is black (can unlock, and randomly click on it ) so its not problem with unlocking. Someone know how to fix it? its realy boring....
