CWM recovery

faramaroot worked for me , my fone is now rooted, but now i want to install custom recovery and then custom rom, but i didn't find custom recovery for this model including installation instructions,

there is kitkit android 4.4 available for Y511, but now sure about U30 model. and it needs to complete one survey to download firmware files. and unfortunatly those surveys are not for my country.

anyone having custom recovery(english version) for Y511-U30 plz send the instructions and image file
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
Welcome to the thread, it's been long time i was waiting for a single comment other than mine : p.

well, i got my hands on "CWM" and it's in English as from where i get it i saw it in english language. One thing i haven't tested it, coz i'm not sure about my device 'bootloader' status. don't know incase it's unlocked or locked. i think CWM can be installed/flashed only when bootloader is unlocked. so i'm not installing CWM until i'm sure about safety.

"Framaroot" worked for me too last night but "supersu" icon did not appear in menu but i installed an app to confirm root and "supersu" notification came up for granting permission. what ever, Will you also please share "framaroot" version you used and what exploit worked for you. i used framaroot 1.9.2. and please tell me about "bootloader" too.

i'll upload "CWM 5.5.0.4" for y511-u30 or u25, but again i have not tested it. i'll edit thread about how to install. : ). take care and post results after testing. i hope it will be safe. goot luck.

i m not sure about version now, but i have installed from http://xdaforums.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
It's ok about version, any chance of remembering "exploit" you choose to root device "boromir" or "Barahir"?. as i remember, "Barahir" worked for me. again not sure. but device got rooted without showing "supersu" app but hidden and installed.

anyway, i have uploaded Framaroot app and in short i'll be uploading "CWM".

is your device "bootloader unlocked"? i'll not recommend you to try installing "CWM" without bootloader unlocked.

[General Questions and Answers] trm33:
I Haven't touched the boot loader, only i have rooted with faramaroot. and installed custom recovery found from internet but that was in chines so i removed, however i have not yet tested the recovery u sent yesterday
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
Ok. Thanks for replying. I am not sure but i think, to flash custom ROM "bootloader" needs to be unlocked. Maybe 'CWM' don't need bootloader restriction but required root.

Try to find way to unlock bootloader for our device. There are ways but some cost much and the one which don't is official way and they have not answered any of my email/query yet.

It not a problem for me individualy to get bootloader unlocked but i want to find out solution for every one.

One more thing, just want to make sure that it only with my device serial or same with some others too.

1. Serial mentioned in phone settings is strange like "0123456.." and serial behind battery is different.

2. Incase, u ever boot into chinese bootloader/recovery by pressing vol- and power button. Did u happen to see "Board test fail"?

Thanks, I'll be waiting for ur reply.

u r correct

1. serial no is same 123..................F, i will check letr on backside

2. i had installed recovery with "RASHR" app avaialble at playsore and restarted fone into recovery with same "RASHR" app.

Vol- and power i think does not work or only it is used to "fast boot" the fone

however Vol+ and power shows board test fail but still u can test some hardware, all menu comes in chines but still camera, mic and other hardware can be checked.

i always reboot to recovery by writing commands to terminal emulator.

[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
Thanks for info, u r helping. It clear doubts regarding regarding issues and i could move forward for more tests. i'll try my best to make addition in main post about how to flash/install recover VIA "ADB". i hope....

I enter fast boot by "adb" and the command i am gonna ask u about give no results, except dots "....". Tried even entering into chinese mode/fastboot but same result.

Can u confirm "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" without qoute's. It only show info about bootloader, either locked or unlocked. Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
as i remember, i've tried that bootloader file and that's not a working app. "not a valid win32....".

rootkit, didn't tried. Rooting is already solved : ). thanks for information.
[General Questions and Answers] trm33:
COMMAND U SENT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME, however ""reboot-bootloader"" command is working which turns off the fone and restarts but set does not restrt and only shows ""fastboot mode…"" on left botom corner of screen and then nothing works neither power butn nor vol keys, i have removed batry and then reinsert fone again strts workng…
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
Thanks again.

Just for ur information, while the phone is in'fastboot....' Mode, u don't need to remove battery.

Phone can be restarted with this command : "fastboot continue". This command reboot phone into normal mode. Well, I'm still upto bootloader unlocking. Induvidualy its not a problem i believe but i don't seem to find solution for everyone. And no help here.

I found few roms, found one kitkat not real but fake, i think that just have look of kitkat. Well back again too bootloader.... Tell when u find a solution.

i got a problem on my huawei y511 u30 when i boot into recovery mode the language is chinese then there is a popup below saying boardtest failed any idea?sorry for my bad english
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
Hi. i believe u must be using "volume down + power" button to get into recovery, right!

Ok, here how to enter into default/stock recovery. which will take you to english recovery.

> Power off device.

> Press "vol up + vol down + power button & hold them.

(Try holding them for atleast 6 seconds).

Hope u got it. Reply when succeed.
[General Questions and Answers] huhubels:
it wont boot i hold it almost a minute
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
What do you mean by "it won't boot". Does it hang....!! Or what?
[General Questions and Answers] huhubels:
no reaction it wont open or boot in recovery
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
You mean phone won't even ON!!

Lets, try again. Make sure phone is powered off completely. It vibrate when it's completely powered off.

Read carefully.

Press and hold vol up & vol down. Don't release them.

And then press power button for 3 seconds and then only release power button.

Don't release volume buttons for 6 seconds.

I hope, you will get it this time. Incase NO, we have other options. Don't worry.

By the ways one question, is your phone new or u r trying to repair it.
[General Questions and Answers] huhubels:
nothing happen again this phone almost 3 months already
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
Maybe, my english is not good enough or you are not doing it right or i didn't get u. Steps i told u work for me. My phone too almost 3 months.

Well, incase u have installed phone drivers in PC and in case u know how to to use "ADB". Then u only need to run this command to enter into recovery.

Connect ur phone to computer via usb cable, make sure usb debuging is enabl on phone. Feom command prompt run "Adb reboot recovery" without qoutes. Thats all.

I'll soon add info on how to get into recovery.

How to use adb/fastboot. Maybe within 24hrs or around. Stay tuned.

Don't do what u r not sure about.
[General Questions and Answers] huhubels:
thanks for the help sir ill wait
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
No problem.

Well, just keep trying that holding vol up + down buttons and then power on device. Hold vol butons for 6 sec on huawei ascend logo. The text one, not the animation.

I hope u'll succeed.

I'll try my best to update thread ASAP. Keep visiting thread for updates.

Hello

this is my 1st post in xda,

i have ascend y511-u30,

I followed the installation process of recovery, and all it's ok,

and now i need a ROM (original or costum) for my phone, because the existing rom has a problem, (the phone will automatically shutdown)

Thank you,
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
First of all, i'll suggest you to make backup with "CWM". There are Original & Custom ROM, But i haven't tested any of them. I can try providing you link. it will be better in case you try to solve the issue first and make backup again after problem is solved. Why you phone shutdown automatically, did you try something? and do you mind sharing "build number" from "Settings > About phone", so i can try giving you ROM/firmware link for same "build number".
[General Questions and Answers] hamdy25:
build number ; Y511-U30V100R001C29B104
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
I didn't find with exactly same build number but i'm sending you link in pm. there are file link of different build number for Y511-U30. download/flash at your own risk.

i too downloaded one for myself but didn't tested that. i downloaded it as a stock backup.

Huawei_Ascend_Y511-U30_V100R001C308B108_Russia

HUAWEI_Ascend_Y511-U30_V100R001C328B118_Iran

Huawei_Ascend_Y511-U30_V100R001C328B120_Arab

i downloaded Arab version, matches build number of my device. but again, i'll suggest you to do some other tweaks to solve your problem and wait. Soon, i hope i'll be able to update post with tested "Custom Rom'.

did you try factory resetting your phone. you got CWM now and you can reset from there. try. good luck.

I tried 2 ROMs in total for now. Kitkat and other is "lewa". It's nice. I have 16gb sd and it's almost full. So sometime i feel like it lagged but maybe its bcoz i got too much stuff on mobile. Any way I'll tell little about it. It's theme, features are nice. Few built-in app/default apps are usefull, so there will be no need to install ccleaner, antivirus etc.... Also when u install some app, it show u permissions options selection etc to reject, allow, always ask.... To choose about it startup, data connection it uses etc.... Here some images....

[MENTION=5812949]ajnabicancer[/MENTION], what do u think which one is faster official, MIUI, Lewa os,;

b/c u have tested these all ROms
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
yep, i did tested these ROMs and still got them both on SDcard. To be honest, i used MIUI with almost viber, whatsapp, and few other software with SDcard of 16G.B almost full and i played 300+MB video on it. it didn't do any problem. was fine.

About Lewa, i only installed one app for recovery reboot. coz after flashing CWM, i can't boot into recovery with volumes and power keys. so i have downloaded an app for that purpose. that's all i installed on Lewa and nothing. didn't played anything but browsed it's features and didn't find it slowing down. i'm not sure about your device status regarding storage free/used capacity, as it also effect usage performance i believe. otherwise, Lewa was fine too with it's default app/features installed. so i can't say much with said situation about lewa for it's performance.

i'll suggest you to try MIUI, it's different and i think you'll like that too. Lewa is a bit reflection of apple os.
[General Questions and Answers] trm33:
I m still using MIUI since last day, it is working fine, but i have seen a very small lag in fone some time.
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
[MENTION=5341950]trm33[/MENTION]

yep, explore it's features. like permissions etc.... then switch to "Lewa" do same for that.... i find easy settings regarding permissions access for apps in "Lewa". Lewa alerts for every new app you install or already install apps about there sensitive permissions, self start/startup etc.... and see the difference. i didn't used MIUI for long, so can't say much about it for now.

share, incase you find anything new.

i just want the faster ROM, no lags and runs well, "seeder" was very good app for my old mobile running android 2.3.6, it removes all d lag in older one and mobile was running very faster, but un fortunately seeder does not work well on 4.2.

no i m not a developer, but trying to make some changes in frame work and system UI, i have tried xposed frame work, but it is not working on huawei. and even i havetried to flash some flashable zips like trnsparent weather gadget but it did not worked for me, even mobile doesnot show the gadget inside fone
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
[MENTION=5341950]trm33[/MENTION], I think, ccleaner is good alternate for 'seeder'. i'm using it. it work fine for me.

xposed(for permissions)? is it also called "xprivacy", in case not. try 'xprivacy'.

about transparent weather gadget/widgets, i'm not using huawei launcher. try EZ launcher, for me it's smooth and fast. it's weather widget is nice too. i tried searching animated weather app like HTC but there's not much out there like that. but, EZ launcher and it's weather widgets are nice. try them.

I too need app/tool to stop apps running in background and are not necessary to make device run more smooth. well, even for now too device is running fine.
