I want to have TWRP recovery on my phone,

Is it as easy as just flashing the H30-U10_Recovery_TWRP_2.8.1.0.zip file?

If I flash the H30-U10_Recovery_TWRP_2.8.1.0.zip file will I still have my original rom or will that be effected in any way?

Will flashing the UPDATE-RestoreStockRecovery_KK.zip remove TWRP recovery and return me to stock recovery?

Thanks ahead for any tips...

EDIT: I used live twrp to do a backup which went ok, but when I tried to flash the recovery twrp 2810 It didn't work, I got a failure note. Rebooted and all is ok, I got a backup done, main thing. I flashed the supersu.zip and rooted.

What do I have to flash if I want to unroot again? Is there an unroot or un±supersu.zip file to go back to origanal again?

I want update/change my fw V100R001C432B109 (from Amazon) with pure international version V100R001C900B115 (as I can unlock bootloader and root).

I have a backup of all made by live recovery TWRP (before root), then can I restore V100R001C432B109 (backuped by recovery) over V100R001C900B115 through live recovery again?

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
ANNOUNCEMENT TO V100R001C432B109 4.2 Users

:

There are few users already reported that the Unlocked Bootloader method also works for the europe version of Honor 3C.

We

do not have

any stock ROM for your version, you

CANNOT

use our Intl. stock ROM as it might cause a (hard)brick.

Restoring from your ROM dump will

NOT

get you back to locked state, but yes you can get back to your stock version with the backup.

You can try to unlock if warranty is not part of your concern, as some service centre might void warranty if you have unlocked it.

If you want to try, i strongly advice you to create Full ROM Dump using SPFT + LiveTWRP before you flash anything to the device.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Hey, that was busybox error! The one you used is not compatible with the system, try Stericson's BusyBox App instead.

There is a Full Unroot feature in the SuperSU app itself, it's under settings.

To get full root in stock V100R001C432B109 4.2 i need someone to provide me adb access via teamviewer to check.

It's hard for me to predict what goes wrong, as we do not have any problem getting full root in 4.2 intl set previously.

You will need to unlock bootloader first, after that you can flash any ROM that's made for Honor 3C H30-U10.

Yes you can, however, you just need to restore: boot, uboot, recovery, system ONLY, after that do a factory wipe.

Like i said, don't

hotlink

or mirror any of my files/images. (hotlink = direct link, attachment.php?id=....)

All that i saw from you site was, you are using everything from here, files on xda, files on my mediafire, and even my images?!.

You can tell your user where to find and get the file, point them which file to download from here (xda) instead... please.

For Windows 8+ you can try "MediaTek USB VCOM Driver v1.1123.00" provided in OP, remember to "Disable Driver Signature Verification".

OPPO ROM = Color OS, it's same, you can try my fixed script for ColorOS, try the 2.0 one, should work too if they are from the same base.

P/S: DO NOT quote my whole post, thank you!

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] mymo82:
Thanks, a couple of days ago, I managed to unroot the device. I followed your guide on how to unblock the bootloader, then I force-installed the B115 upgrade and I finally flashed the SU files via TWRP live recovery.

The whole procedure went flawlessly and the phone seems to be working very well. I assume there's no procedure to lock the bootloader back, so far, isn't there?
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] angel_1975:
Can you tell me where to get a complete guide to create a full dump using SPFT for who, like me, already rooted the phone.

I tried, it doesn't work (I rooted device with live recovery installing UPDATE-SuperSU-*.zip and UPDATE-FullRootHelper*.zip)

[Update] I used my previous backup to restore phone and unroot :)

If I install V100R001C900B115 (like UPDATE.APP? Do I have to unlock bootloader first?), unlock bootloader and root then I can return back to my original V100R001C432B109 with locked bootloader and no root only restoring my backup from live recovery, right?
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] iconias:
I tried it as well and it doesn't work.

Naturally since I flashed the supersu.zip with Live-TWRP , superuser is embedded in my rom. I think I have to remove supersu from the rom itself, maybe using titanium backup or similar.

I don't have an unrooted backup, I only backed up after I rooted.

How could I unroot if necessary?

Same problem for me, i didn't do a backup before rooting, so now i have a no-stock system partition and unroot function didn't work for me. Anyone can share a fully stock rom dump for european version?
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] iconias:
A stock rom backup without root isn't really necessary, it wont make any difference to the warranty if its rooted. Its not as if I've unlocked the boot loader.

Im happy with my rooted backup, its a safe backup.

I think the unlocked bootloader is where the warranty ends...
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] alb12:
Yes, but in the updates settings i can't enable "Auto-download over Wi-Fi" because "Your system has been modified". So i think i won't be able to update to Kitkat when it will be released in Europe. And i can't also return to stock condition, because i haven't a clean system partition backup.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] kekkox88:

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Getting Full Root on C432 B109/B111 EU set

After digging for days, i have some good news and some bad news for you....

#1) Full Root for Honor 3C Europe set (V100R001C432B1XX)

From what we learned, it's

NOT POSSIBLE

to obtain full root without unlocking bootloader first, as boot needs to be unsecured,

maybe there is a safer way to do it without unlocking BL, but without having the device in my hand to test it, i can't take the risk.

Remember, service center reserves the right to reject your warranty claim if they find out the device has been unlocked, so, think wisely!

As for those who already unlocked or who doesn't even care about the warranty, try the following:

Note: The first patch is

ONLY

needed for 4.2 JB based ROM, you don't need it on KK ROMs, but no harm either if flashed.

1) Download "UPDATE-IsUnlockedForRoot_C432_EU.zip" attached below, flash it with TWRP. (Note: Don't rename the file)

2) Following by "UPDATE-FullRootHelperV2*.zip".

3) Finally, flash Chainfire's latest SuperSU.

WANRING:

*

DO NOT

use these combo patches if you have not unlocked the phone, otherwise you may end up with bootloop.

* Please read

all the warnings

on FullRootHelper download page before you proceed.

#2) Unroot on Half-Rooted Honor 3C Europe set (V100R001C432B1XX)

There is a way to unroot, but you

MUST

do it as soon as possible after the device booted into android system.

You only have few minutes to do it before the /system gets locked, after that, mounting /system rw is no longer possible.

You

MUST

do it within the superuser app's own 'Full Unroot' function, it

won't work

if you simply delete the apk & su binary,

also, there could be a copy of the app in /data/app/, google account might (resync) reinstall the app if the apk is missing but not uninstalled.

Feel free to support me by pressing the "Thanks" button. Thank you!

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] kekkox88:
Hi [MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION], thanks for your help. I've tried it, and I'm able to delete supersu.apk in system/app and su binaries in xbin and have a done message report, I check it with ES Explorer and there's nothing, also root checker says ok but at reboot it's still here... it says android upgrade and root turns back. [emoji22]

I'm waiting a simple full root method with locked bootloader or directly the new EMUI for EU version to flash with dload.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] Im.newbie:

but there is some pop-up like "location not found" even though i already turn off my gps ?

Hi to everybody.

I have a similar version to this phone: Huawei Honor 3C Play (Hol-U10). I know it's not the same device, but I don't find any information on the internet.

Device information is as following (it's in Spanish, sorry. But I think it's understandable, as it's always the same in all languages):

http://movilesdualsim.go4expert.netdna-cdn.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_s0CvPnU.jpg

http://movilesdualsim.go4expert.netdna-cdn.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_33XITkP.jpg

As you see, ROM version is B969.

Baseband version: WR8.W12.46.P6,2014/01/10 16:00

Kernel version: 3.4.5 huawei@android-server #1

Build number: Holly-U10V100R001CHSC01B969

I have some questions...

1) How to know if the bootloader is locked?

2) How to make root without risk?

3) Can I install CWM?

4) Dear [MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION], can I use your tutorials and drivers with this model? I would like to back up my current ROM using SP FlashTool and your tutorial. Can I use your "Project Folder" tools with my device?

I suppose MT6582_Android_scatter.txt is the same for "Honor 3C" and "Honor 3C Play", isn't it?

If you know other ROMS, tutorials or anything about this device I would be very grateful.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Have you check my updated post regarding unroot? hmm.. i am not sure if that is possible as the boot needs to be unsecured...

Well, i guess for now you can just wait for the OTA to come...

Nope, it's not a glitch but a feature, if i am not mistaken the 'Online Theme' needs your location, so just give it, GPS ON+Online, after that the error should be gone.

As for TWRP problem, perhaps you did not fully complete the unlocking bootloader step.

No idea if it can be patched, but i usually switch to 2G to get full bar & save battery as 3G kind of unstable for me. (my area)

Hi there, can you please put the pictures under spoiler or

tag? Thank you.

1) Try to flash TWRP, if it's unlocked you will get TWRP, else you'll get SPFT error, it's risk free. (You can refer to the guide in OP)

2) My Full Root guide should works too, you will need to use my LiveTWRP if it's a locked bootloader.

* Alternatively, you can also try this guide, it's for hol-u19 but should work too. (Not tested, but it's safe too i supposed)

3) You can also try to find if there is any recovery made for your device at needrom.com

4) My guides/tools are optimized for H30-U10 with 8GB ROM so i cannot guarantee it will work properly with your device too,

i suggest you to get it half-rooted and proceed to backup your ROM with MTK Droid & Tool, for drivers & SPFT it should be OK.

* You can find all program & link that i mentioned above in OP.

Hi [MENTION=5981396]To$i[/MENTION]

I don't think battery has any issue . I am on B256 for last 10 days. I use 3G whole the day and some apps like Gmail,Facebook,WhatsApp,gReader,SMS Backup ,FolderSync, Adaway, Droidwall etc from morning 8 AM to Night 10 PM.These are few of them and my phone battery remains more than 40% left at last.

EMUI 3.0 on B256 is smooth and looks good.However I am getting the same error Location not found as mentioned by @in.newbie.

TWRP 2.8.x doesn't work when you restore backup . I use 2.7 to restore my previous backup. I think issue is with the Data folder partition which 2.8.x unable to unmount. I tried to unmount manually but failed when I tried to restore data.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] To$i:
Thanks for telling about battery. I guess bcuz I didn't use ModemFix so it was like that (I am waiting for international Version). I didn't use any custom recovery or root. I flahsed it via SPFT and I didn't receive any error. Not even that GPS error which people are talking about.

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] minori_aoi:
Regarding GPS error, It happened to me too. I was using Nokia Here Map and it said location not available even though I never turned my GPS off. For me, the fix is simply to turn GPS off, then on again. Same with 3G data, I always set my network to 2G, because I use my office / home WiFi, but when I go out, I turned 3G on. But it will failed to connect the data, and to fix it I have to enable Airplane mode, then disable it again.

There are few bugs here and there indeed, but I'll gladly live with it instead of having to look at horrible EMUI 2.x UI. The bug is annoying at best, and it can be worked around, so no big deal to me. The only bad thing to me is, SWYPE always become slow after some times, making it unusable. I have to resort to Swiftkey / Google Keyboard, but both auto correct function is inferior compared to SWYPE.
