[MENTION=1825098]panel1[/MENTION], [MENTION=2298436]kekkox88[/MENTION], thanks buddy! i really appreciate it. cheers! :highfive: But i think i need coffee more than beer nowadays... ;)

[MENTION=5143854]Ax1qwer[/MENTION], [MENTION=5845326]booloth[/MENTION], thanks for the /proc/cmdline output.

Looks like newer sets use cmi_otm1282a while our's use auo_otm1282 (Pixcir ICs)

I have spent the whole weekend trying to build a working KK kernel without any success, well it did built but it won't boot.

Either i am just too new for this or there is something wrong with the kernel source, not many oem actually provide the final source, some even provide fake source!

Looks like we should get someone who joined the "Friendly User Trial" program to grab the kernel, who knows it might work on B111/129, that would be faster. :p

eh they started public beta for EMUI 3.0? Glad to hear that! Thanks for the update.

Perhaps you downloaded the wrong file, you don't need to use *signed* ROM once you have unlocked.

What are you trying to do actually? Restore stock ROM? Just download your desire ROM and follow post #7 to extract & restore.

I assumed that you want to upgrade to KitKat? No sorry i don't think you can upgrade to KK at the moment,

reports tell us that B111 uses different touch sensor and KK ROM (EMUI 2.3/3.0) we have now might not work on your device. (Touch not working)

Please wait for some more time as the official Kitkat upgrade for International/EU sets might come any time 'soon'.

Please try

NOT

to quote the whole post when replying, thank you.

I have no idea what 'ds kernel' you are referring to? but let me remind you that you have a MTK phone, no kernel flashing fun. :)

[MENTION=3456782]hawkmoon1971[/MENTION], you can ignore the fastboot output, you can proceed to the next steps whatever you plan to do.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] Ax1qwer:
codelover: Ok, many thanks for your try :) . We need somebody who can enter france betatest and bring the kernel for us. I think we have not any different way for get Kitkat to work on B111.

Actually what i am missing is the actual ProjectConfig.mk & kernel configs used to build KK kernel, the once provided in source seems to be the common one.

But no worries i will try harder and get some help from master sifu on xda. ;)

Hmm, can you grab me the TWRP log file, lots of things changed in B261 and i haven't tested this ROM myself.

You can use TWRP "Copy Log" function then attach it here, btw what SuperSU version are you using?

Anyone else can confirm this? ^

Since he said he flashed that would mean it worked for him, there are reports saying that it actually works.

Well, that would depends on how you flash, perhaps using Force Upgrade method to install the B261 can make it works, idk as i haven't tested it.

Btw for your NVRAM problem, please try to restore your NVRAM backup (If you did made backup) & 'Format Data' with TWRP after you installed the ROM.

Please note that everything in the internal sd will be erased so make sure you backup your important files in int sd first.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] neerajsain:
Thanks [MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION]..........Problem solved.

1. Reflashed B261 with latest Live TWRP and rebooted the phone completely.

2. Again booted with latest live TWRP and Patched with full root helper and super su and rebooted again.

3. Restored my data backup partition which have taken before flashing new ROM.

Everything working fine now.

What was the mistake?

I patched fullroothelper ,super user and restore my data backup ,back to back after patch without rebooting.

I access Winter Megadrive and downloaded Ta... MIUI 6_5.14.17 at https://mega.co.nz/#F!P5FVUTbQ!awyI0-1qsd9lgTL5ePsjkw

after I flashed, I notice something which is the phone doesn't detect my sd card, but when I flash those version without Ta, my phone can detect the sd card.

One thing is my phone can never download updates using OTA.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] schizlow:
Too bad, i formatted my sd after I flashed the signed B108 :3

Im thinking about this:

-I will make a ROM DUMP with my current rom which is JB (B108)

-Flash a kitkat firmware, which will have an invalid imei.

-Follow your guide about flashing single partition

Basically i will flash the JB's nvram etc. to KK

Do you think that would work? Im confused because its from jb to kk :3 And, sorry for being such a bother :3 Thanks! :)

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] schizlow:
Are you planning to flash a rom? Dont do it. You have a B127 which is a revision set or has a new digitizer as per the OP said. So if you flash a rom, touch wont work. Better to wait for rom that is compatible with your phone :) :)

but now i dont know if i also need to install those updates (update-fullroothelperv2d.zip, update-isunlockedforroot_c432_eu.zip, update-supersu-v2.46)

You had your answer in the quotes of your post. For a new version (B127 and B111) it is impossible to use KitKat for now. Touchscreen will not work. You should wait for an official release.

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] booloth:
amin885, I'm sorry, my answer was for soorajvvz, not for you. I didn't input his name.

Concerning your question, I guess you can try instructions for Restoring Official Stock ROM using SPFT (+Relocking The Bootloader) (Intl. Set). You just need to download stock ROM for your Intl. set V100R001C900B127 and follow the instructions. I didn't try... but I don't see the reason why it shouldn't work.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
To answer your doubt, yes i did not compile them, the binaries were compiled by their respective developer/tool maker,

hence carliv and yuweng, which i have clearly stated in the guides itself as well as the credit section.

Did i make it? I would say i contributed 0.1% of it, and without the 0.1% you actually don't have the LiveTWRP to use now.

I ported every single one of them manually, tested & further optimized to make them work better with our device.

The auto ported TWRP recovery would work out-of-the-box, but there are few glitches, these include but not limited to:

- adb & mass_storage in recovery might not work with the provided driver because HW expect you to have HiSuite.

- missing special partition definitions in fstab for backup, for example you can't backup /cust, /pro_info, etc.

- missing some commonly used applet/shortcut command, eg: 'll' (well, that's my personal favorite)

All issues mentioned above have been manually fixed/improved in the ported recoveries that i shared here.

Below are my suggestions for you / also to whom it may concern:

Do not treat 'Unlock bootloader' as the only choice, that would be the last resort, Huawei lock the device for good.

Normal (International set) user should stick with official firmware - B108, KK/Unlocking BL are for adventurous users only.

Full ROM install/reset will be the last resort, try troubleshoot the problem first, eg: xposed problem - flash xposed-disabler.

Flashing custom recovery to device is not advised, except for adventurous users running custom rom. (If supported)

Stick with stock recovery if you plan to use OTA, use LiveRecovery if you need custom recovery features.

Please help me..

i need some help with my phone... my phone is dead after upgrading to the latest kikat... no logo, only vibrating..

please help me to fix this problem..

thanks...
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Hi, if i am not mistaken, B211 is China set (unless you manually flashed that), you supposed to be able to upgrade without any problem.

Yes you can upgrade to the latest KitKat directly, use 'SD Force Upgrade' method with latest KK 'UPDATE.APP', 8XX MB+

Please note that all data will be during the upgrade, so make sure you have created backup - either with MTKDroidTool or SPFT ROM dump.

Assumed that you are using International (MY/TW) set of the Honor 3C H30-U10, below are your options:

1) Check post #2 & make sure you get everything ready, follow 'Restoring Official Stock ROM using SPFT'.

2) Try to unlock the bootloader - and lose phone warranty. You supposed to be able to boot normally again, else, follow option #1 above.

And don't worry, most of the time, as long as your phone can still vibrates you have very high chance to recover it by yourself.

Just make sure you guys follow every single step & tips mentioned in the guide, and do a 'Factory Reset' before begin to use the new ROM.

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] theoppositeman:
hi guys.

i downloaded the B143 from Huaweis' Emui Page here ( http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=32 )

its running smooth in my H30-U10 now.

the questions are

1. is this update (i put it in dload folder and flash in recovery) good for next update (KK)?

2. mine is bought from china. is there any other latest update than this B143?

ps: i know this kinda silly questions, just got my H3C. been playing with my Huawei Ascend Mate for almost 2 years.

btw, seem like eRoot (v 1.3.4) can detect H3C when connected and i think its possible to root H30-U10.

i havent done that because there might be something wrong, any ideas?

i've been using eroot for Huawei Mate, P6, works for P7 and some huawei devices....

please advice. :o
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Hi, answering your questions:

1) Yeah, you should be able to update to KK through OTA once they release/push it. (Btw you can always install any version through force upgrade using the full update.app package.)

2) I think B148 is the latest version for 4.2.2 JB build, while 4.8.16 is the latest Kitkat developer build. (Available on the same page under '开发版')

For root access, i would recommend you to flash SuperSU through Live TWRP Recovery, it's one of the easiest method to get rooted,

most importantly, this rooting method just installs the root app, unlike other rooting solutions like vroot that install extra 'bonus' apps.

Btw, don't forget to make a full rom dump with MtkDroidTool or SPFT Readback before you start doing something crazy, just in case. :)

I flashed kitkat to my honor 3c,

everything is great except for one thing,

the sim was recognizable but there was no signal and there was a notification saying that the IMEI isn't correct

can someone confirm that MediaTek VCOM Driver works with windows 8.1 64 bit?

since I've already disable integrity check and turn on the testing, but failed to install the driver. But it works on win xp

thanks
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Hi there, I am not sure if you followed my guide from the beginning, especially the backup part, if you did, you might have a chance to recover.

Also, my ModemFix is only applicable if you upgraded to the emui.com KitKat and lost IMEIs, and not to be applied on other unknown ROM,

and most importantly, you will only need to apply it once, whenever needed and applicable only, as per stated in my guides.

If you fully formatted the device & do not have any nvram backup available, i am afraid there is nothing i can do to help you,

unless someone is willing to provide you the backup from the same device, but the nvram is NOT to be shared as it's unique to each device,

even you managed to restore the IMEIs using other's backup, there might be some side effect like problem registering to network - for both devices,

that depends, but for sure it will cause problem to apps/services like whatsapp that uses IMEIs as part of it's identification.

I am afraid you might need to send the device back to service center as they have the proper tool to write the IMEIs, which we don't have.

There are quite a numbers of 'IMEI Writting Tool for MTK' available out there, but i haven't be able to find one working with our H3C, yet,

i could not remember the tools names but i believe you can easily find a lot on the internet, try google it, (other than MtkDroidTool)

maybe you are luckier than me and managed to get at least one working.

I can't verify that as i do not have win 8.1 x64 to test, would you mind to help me test the attached driver below? Thanks.

Just another repeated reminder to ALL:

Always remember to make all necessary backup before you starting 'playing' with the device.

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] louai rabia:
Hi,

Thank you so much,

yes, I followed your guide from the beginning, and yes I did backup my device.

The problem is that I was flashing another ROM and I was using flash-tool version 5 but unfortunately, I mistakenly picked "format all + download" instead of "download only". I didn't realize till I connected my phone and flash-tool started to work.I disconnected my phone quickly when the process didn't get to more than 0% but the phone didn't work anymore, it was completely dead.

I could start the phone again by flashing kitkat using flashtool, and it worked, but there was no signal as I already mentioned in my previous post.

now, I was told to get back to B108 signed and I would get my signal back, which I tried but the signal was still missing.

I even flashed the ROM I packedup before (which is B115), but still no signal.

now, I have the NoDL folder which you told to keep, would it be helpful here?
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Great! for sure it would help! Like i mentioned in the guides, the device specific data are stored in NoDL folder.

The ROM is just the system related files, nothing more. Okay, now follow my guide on post #4 to restore 2 files: pro_info & nvram.

"Restoring Single Partition using SPFT (NVRAM, PRO_INFO, ETC)"

Once you have done that, execute a full factory reset under Settings menu, you might also need try flashing using different methods,

eg: Flash with both SPFT & SD Upgrade method, also try different build, eg B115, and KK, it's just a matter of time to get IMEIs back working.

It might not be easy, but yes, you will get back the IMEIs as long as you have the complete backup created while the device is still working,

i personally ran into the same situation like you while testing & preparing the guides, and the device is working perfectly now.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] louai rabia:
Thanks

but, I didn't have the chance to try your advice as a new problem has appeared.

I was already writing the NVARM when the sp tool refused to write except if I choose a scatter loading file, so I chose the one in the output folder and only marked on the preloader and sec-ro, then pressed write memory, and it worked

but when I tried to launch the device, it didn't launch, so I realized that I made a mistake and decided to unlock the device to maybe flash a new ROM.

I chose the unlock scatter lading file and started to follow your instructions, I pressed write memory, it worked properly. I disconnected the phone, pressed download and reconnected the phone, but the computer never recognized it. I reinstalled the driver autoinstaller, but still the computer can't recognize the phone.

may I have some help?

Well,... I don't know more than it's written in this thread... But I think that the procedure of relocking bootloader makes the devise "clean"... as from the box (if you are worried about the garantie). Codelover wrote: "This guide can also be treated as a

The first explanation link

To relock the bootloader, you will need SPFT SIGNED ROM:

* For International set or Europe set that comes with C432B109, use B108 SIGNED ROM. (761 MB)

* For Europe set that comes with C432B111, use B111 SIGNED ROM. (739 MB)

But I to B127 SIGNED for relocked botloader
