Hi codelover, can you help me?? I cant boot into live TWRP. I did everything as instructed, copying dload folder to the /sdcard and reboot the phone (from reboot menu / power off power on). I will just boot to the OS as usual, not TWRP. I'm using your latest TWRP, or should I use the old one?? Is there any?
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] aries77:
which rom ? as codelover stated on opening page, no live twrp works after 4.10.x

you should read from 1st page
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] minori_aoi:
thanks, I guess I missed that one. So, there's no way to use EMUI 3.0 afterall ...

Edit: In the end I decided to unlock the bootloader, and flash TWRP. then everyone live happily ever after ...

However, some functionality seems missing like Screen Mirror. And the music apps sort songs in an album alphabetically, how stupid is that ?? meh ... I can always resort to Play Music though, so it's a non issue. Gallery app is also bad.

Headphone output sounds much better (without DTS), it's now sounds normal, on B113 it's awful unless you enable DTS.

Restoring Single Partition using SPFT (NVRAM, PRO_INFO, ETC) (Restore IMEIs)

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

Guys

I have recently moved to Oneplus One. I am one of the lucky who got invite within couple of hours after registration.

I am not active to this forum. I have done all possibilities with help of codelover. The guide is marvelous. However I urge people not to move to any other ROM apart from the one came with the phone. Phone is really good. However I am losing signal strength with other ROM (Custom ROM). Call getting drop in office, mall, people started complaining that they can not hear me properly. Most of the time phone going in emergency mode.

Now I have to restore it completely as how it came as new phone.

It was perfect in initial days, however I have tried diff ROM, EMUI 2.3, EMUI 3.0, MIUI. But none of them given me a good signal which was present at the beginning of the phone.

So I decided to restore back and see what is happening. I may sell out the phone to someone.

Thanks OP & all for your help & support.

Need help from Codelover

Before I deliver my set to service center:-

I was restoring my old backup (Official backup thru the tool)

1. Step: JB stock backup restored without any issue

2. Install all files under NoDL folder. up to file preloader_huawei82_wet_jb5.bin the phone was detected by the system without having battery. Last file secro.img could not be able to flash as the phone stopped detecting by PC/Laptop.

Now the phone is off and not switching on....Code lover please help.:(

guys is there anyway to use xposed whithout disabling emui theme engine on stock emui 3.0 b251?
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
#1. Yes, #2. Yes. You will also need to restore nodl_NVRAM manually, after that run few factory resets.

Which version are you using? Please note that EMUI 3.0 B251 requires SoundFix to fix the broken sound issue.

Hmm... why did you restore that? You don't need to restore that, but i guess you already figured that out now...

I don't have any guide to restore just preloader, so which method did you used? Write Memory? what address did you use?

For now, you will need to get the preloader properly restored, 'Download' *ONLY* PRELOADER from B108 with SPFT (Only if Intl. set)

Try connect while pressing buttons, try different combinations, all combo that you could think of, with and without battery.

You can try disable 'Resource Hook' feature under Xposed 'Settings', or try older xposed 2.4.1, click the "Show older versions".

Older versions do not support 'Resource Hook' feature, and if i understand correctly the feature is conflicting with EMUI theming engine.

Quick workaround, but NOT recommended: Restore 'ANDROID' & 'BOOTIMG' with SPFT. (From current version, ofcause)

Long story short, OTA is always optimized for 99.9% untouched stock ROM.

Get full root and enjoy unlimited possibilities, or stay with 100% stock, and live happily ever after, end story. :o
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] minori_aoi:
I'm on EMUI 3.0 B251, and didn't notice any broken sound. Is it crackling or what ?? I get OTA notification for new version but dunno what to do. Bootloader already unlocked and still on TWRP recovery, when I flash stock recovery, can I update ???

Also, Anyone know where's the WiFI Display option ?? It exists and can be opened using Wifi Display Helper App from playstore, but I can't find it in the settings.

On my International set, I have unlocked bootloader, TWRP flashed to phone and I'm now on B251. When I'm trying to flash B255 same way as I did B251 before (from SD card with TWRP), nothing happens, phone just reboots back to system, flashing doesn't start and 'au_temp.cfg' is renamed to 'au_temp.cfg.BAK'.

Edit: Fixed by flashing stock recovery and flashing ROM with it.

Note: B255 has not enought free space to flash Nano gapps, only Pico fits (unless some unneeded system apps removed).

My H30-U10 is died.

Hi, I have china version H30-U10 with android 4.4. I tried to install v100r001chnc00b110 with SP Flashtool. During installation everything was ok, and at the end the process ended with green circle (the phone was with inserted battery during the flash proces). But when I try to power on the phone, the display shows only noise, exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUuXGqSPwF4.

But the phone was fully working (exept display), android is loading, and can recieve calls, and touch function was ok, I can navigate trought the android on blind.

After this situation I read this thread and I decided to install V100R001C900B108 with SP Flashtool, but i don't saw the warning "Warning:

* DO NOT flash signed B108 on your China/clone set, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"

And I think, that my device now is fully died. Now the display is black, not show anything, and now when I'm trying to flash ANY rom, SP Flashtool gave me this error : BROM ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004). The VCOM Preloader is ok, because SP flashtool recognise it, and the phone is vibrating once, after inserting USB cable, but after that, the above error appears.

Can we do something to unbrick it, or my phone is for factory repairing.

Thanks to everyone in advance!

Huawei Honor 3C (International) Benchmarks

Guys I wanna share some benchmarks with you which I did when I received phone. These benchmarks were performed on stock Rom (stock B110) and on stock settings. The idea here is that, those people who are now on EMUI 2.3 or EMUI 3.0 please share your benchmarks so we can see how much performance we gained in these new Roms.

I used "Nena Mark v2.4, Metal, Antutu X (bcuz Antutu don't show real results), Quadrant and Ice Storm" .

And my network 3G test bcuz I wanna ask you people that how much max speed you get on your networks. Bcuz I on this phone only get max speed of 6.5 Mbps down while on same network but with other phone, other person get 7 - 7.5 Mbps. So is this the phone fault or something else? Hope you guys will enjoy....:o:o

Antutu

I have H30-T10 version my Antutu is always 19100-19400. For some reason on all versions of Antutu its higher than H30-U10 version. Device is original and completely stock on B148 now, I have received a few updates so far and waiting for B149 OTA and hopefuly EMUI 3.0 before new year. Did not try other benchmark tools, even this one is forced by my curious friend :)) I guess score should go about 20% more on EMUI 3.0 4.4.2 its really a shame that other manufacturers are releasing a 5.0 version for their products and people who bought Huawei are still on very bad 4.2.2 JB. Its a reason why I`m concidering to sell 3C and its a shame because it is a great hardvare. Maybe even the best for low price :)

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Guys, can you confirm which one can't boot which one can but not working properly and what was the problem?

So i assumed both you & BobBro are using China version of H3C, correct?

For zip error, sometimes the problem is caused by unsupported compression used to pack the zip, eg, not packed with maximum compression. (-9)

FYI, Carliv's CWMs are optimized for devices with limited recovery partition size, so some features are being removed so it can fit on the partition.

I will start working on CWM Advanced Edition - PhilZ Touch when i have more free time, i am just too busy now.

I am not quite sure what did you mean by 'TWRP -> internal sd -> whenever you install a zip or restore all backups will be lost'?

Is this a more special case or happen under normal condition? Can you provide more info, some example perhaps?

modem.img is from official JB ROM.

Do you remember what was the error? Did it failed in the middle of flashing process or not even being able to flash at all?

It's recommended to use the any custom recovery provided by the ROM dev since they know more which one work best for their ROM.

Hi, thanks for joining us here, and yes, i have already noticed your thread there.

Not to offence you, but your thread containing too many misleading info, and some are seriously wrong.

For example, it's almost impossible to make your PCB 'dead' simply by upgrading a rom, you got lucky to have you unit replaced,

simply because they didn't know what you have done to the device, infact, you can easily recover it without sending it back to service centre.

As long as the phone can still vibrates, you have chance to recover it by yourself, also, you don't need to unlock bootloader for that.

Also, i would like to clarify that I DO NOT recommend unlocking bootloader for normal user, if you soft-bricked just unbrick and stick with official.

Now back to the questions:

#1 - Yes

#2 - Yes, you don't need update.app, you can use OTA.

#3 - Yes, but B115 is not 'Pure Stock aka Virgin' or whatever you call it, read through my thread, you can get answer there.

#4 - Yes if you are still unlocked, if you relocked, it depends, a true experienced technician might be able to know.

#5 - Really funny that you ask me this question, why not you direct the question to Huawei instead, i'd like to know too.

#6 - Try it yourself or google for user posted result. But i can tell you without source without custom kernel - don't expect too much.

For the last quesion, yes, already answered in few post back, flash B115 first before relocking, read through the guides you can find all answer there.

At chinese phone

H30-U10_Recovery_CTR-1.4 boots fine, can make backups but fails with zips roms

The same with Kk variant

H30-U10_Recovery_TWRP boots fine but only can store the backup at internal memory

Whenever we install a Rom by a zip the internal memory will be format. If we restore a complete backup the internal memory will come from backup also

I didn't try to install any Rom with these recovery

Carliv touch boot, touch up and down control works but no other gestures are working. I didn't try more

I have the Chinese version of the 3C H30-U10

Out of all the recoveries that you have supplied here I could get TWRP and CWM-KK to install and boot up. I can flash the SuperSU Zip with both of them. These 2 recoveries are the ONLY recoveries other than the stock recovery that comes with the stock Chinese rom that I have been able to get to work at all. I have tried 2 or 3 other recoveries from International version and some other custom version and none work.

When I tried to flash other custom roms ( 4 or 5 different ones) they all failed part way thru flashing-not sure what it said or how far it was into the flash-sorry I did not pay more attention. On at least one of the roms I got it to boot up but did not keep it.

To tell the truth I like the SP Flash Tool way of flashing roms. This was the first way that I learned how to flash a rom on my first Ainol Aurora. With the tools that you have given us here it makes it very easy to make a flashable rom out of the Update.App.

Is there a way to convert a custom rom that is not in that format into the App format?

I think that unless someone does something extremely foolish that it is hard to "break" a phone like this and that many of the "technicians" at service centers don't really understand what makes the phone work so they come up with some reason to send it back into a factory repair center to fix.

Again thank you for your Guide that you have posted here and for all that contribute to making this great phone even better.

HOW CAN U UNBRICK WHEN THE SP FLASH TOOL KEEPS THROWING ERRORS LIKE ( your trying to flash an unsigned backup huh ? ) ..... Seriously how can u fix the phone back if you cant even see the Huawei logo in the Starting

Bootloader Locked , SD Card update does not work , Forced SD Card Update Does not work , SP FLASH TOOL WANTS ME TO UNLOCK Bootloader , Tried Flashing a Recovery , but it failed !!!

TELL ME HOW CAN WE UNBRICK AT THIS STAGE , As there are many ppl facing this issue and it would be helpful ?

1) Will we be able to flash the newer KK Roms released for china by HUAWEI ?

2) I read through the whole thread a lot of times , there is a confusion on whether we will get back IMEI when we flash back our 4.2.2 dump??:eek:

3) If no , then is Question 1 possible when u Lose IMEI ?

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

SO u lost ur IMEI , but u locked the Bootloader ??? ,

Why do we lose IMEI , come on its just a partition memory value right ? , cant we restore NVRAM directly ?

I made a CWM 5.5 Recovery today with MTK Droid Tools. I had to mess around a little to get it to work. I used the scatter file from some of the other custom recoveries in this thread and flashed it with SPFlashTool because MTK Droid Tools would creat it but not flash it to the phone.

I went back and tried to flash some of the custom roms that I have. I still came up with an error while most of the way thru flashing but it did not me boot into the rom and all is working OK so far. I am on KK 4.4.2 version 1.1.5 by Dalet11

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
To everyone who uses TWRP to backup, remember to change your backup storage location to 'sdcard' as shown below:

Did you see the storage location selection like above? sdcard could not be detected? Have you tried formatting the sdcard with the phone?

Huh? Touch buttons working? For my international set, all touch buttons are not working, hmm... perhaps different vendor for screen/sensor...

You know what, although you both claimed to have chinese version of H3C, he can boot from all recoveries but you can't,

since you can boot from CWM-KK i think i can conclude that you can only boot if the recovery is ported from chinese rom.

Next time try to take note of the error message, perhaps we can find a solution for it.

Guess what, when the phone enter META mode it won't shows you anything.

You think there is a boot logo when the phone first come out from manufacturing factory? Nop, the logo is part of the system.

Without a working system you won't be able to see any logo, but you can still use SPFT as it's not depending on the phone system.

If your device is still locked, you have only one choice - Restore factory files using SFPT, hence the signed B108, or,

if you choose to unlock the device, you will have more choice, but i do not recommended unlocking bootloader for normal (newbie) users.

Regarding the SuperSU, make sure the installation process showed a success message, and check if the superuser app installed properly.

You can also try older version of SuperSU, just incase the latest one have compatible issue, you can try search/ask on chainfire thread.
