Again my phone is INternational Version, now on Chinese developer ROM kitkat version 4.8.1, follow the guide and success unlocked the Bootloader. According to the forum, I can do update via OTA without bricked the phone after unlocked the Bootloader. Just want to be very sure, may I know is there anyone has the real experience by update via OTA with the international version on Chinese ROM an unlocked?

There is a nice custom rom on NeedRom that is based on 4.8.1 (I'm sure he will update soon to 4.8.16) I have installed it on my Chinese version on the 3C and it is working great. He has taken out the Chinese apps. Take a look and see what you think.

My phone is International Version (Malaysia), I have successfully flashed the Official Chinese KitKat ROM version 4.8.1 on it and also unlocked the Bootloader according to the guide in the 1st post in this thread. Now I received an official update notice for version 4.8.16.

My intention is to stay on to the official ROM and continue to receive the update. Not really want to venture the rooting and flashing custom ROM yet. Thus, I would like to know is there anyone has the similar phone and ROM as mine with unlocked bootloader, and successfully did the OTA update without brick the phone?

I had an experience earlier where I bricked my phone via OTA, but that was I did not unlock the Bootloader, according to codelover I can update via OTA if I unlock the bootloader. I just want to confirm this if there is anyone has the experience. Try to avoid brick it the second time, I don't think the service center will replace me the phone second time, perhaps it create a big doubt for them to check my bricked phone thoroughly.

However, thanks for your sharing. I believe it will benefit to others on this forum.

BTW, anyone know how to check whether the phone bootloader has been unlocked or still remain locked?

Thanks.

According to the forum, I can do update via OTA without bricked the phone after unlocked the Bootloader.

There is a nice custom rom on NeedRom that is based on 4.8.1 (I'm sure he will update soon to 4.8.16) I have installed it on my Chinese version on the 3C and it is working great. He has taken out the Chinese apps. Take a look and see what you think.

As stated my phone is Chinese version which comes with an unlocked bootloader. It has never been locked.

So, just a quick question about the European set.

I read about the tests with the European handset devices, lots of messages about unlocked bootloader, etc.

Do we unlock via the same method, as listed in OP, which currently still states for 'MY/TW set ONLY', or do we use another method?
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] Bazilli:
Hi! Method in OP works with european version.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
No sure if that will work, as mentioned earlier it's more like a kernel problem.

For JB based ROM, simply replacing the kernel with B111 kernel would work, but i don't think that kernel is compatible with KK ROM.

Your cache partition probably corrupted by the wipe, what apps did you used to perform the wipe? TWRP wipe would be a better choice.

yea, i figured i should have updated the guides but i just could not find any free time to do it earlier, anyway i have updated some guides now.

The last few pages were all about EU set & some tests we ran on it, and yes, most guides in OP are fully compatible with EU set too.

China B261 version on EU set

Hello,

I have successfully installed Chinese B261 + Modem Fix + ROOT on EU set. From EMUI 2.0 > 3.0 is very nice progress. I'm surprised with permission manager, which is similar to MIUI Roms.

My only issues are:

1) When is system font size set to "Normal" it's too big in applications installed from Play Store. System font size set to "Small" is acceptable.

2) I'm really missing "Gloves mode" in settings. We have winter here and gloves mode was very useful for me.

I you have problems with external SD card write protection, I found solution (only for Rooted phones).

1. Open folder /system/etc/permissions in Root Browser
2. Edit platform.xml and navigate to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE section.
3. Add new line <group gid="media_rw" /> and save file.
4. Restart.

If somebody have any idea how to get working "Gloves Mode" on B261, please let me know.

The full root issue?

I have been struggling with that for a while. The main problem is just, as said in previous posts, there has simply not been any root method found yet that works for an European set with locked bootloader. Until a way is found you'll either HAVE TO unlock for root or WAIT and stay unrooted until and IF a solution is found...

Regards, Drago
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] BoHasssoN:
I was have this problem before

To solve this

Make full format by sp flash tool

If format dont accepted make unlock bootloader for your phone then format

After formating

Flash any rom

Even if you install my roms no problem at all

Start the phone check the signal

And imei

I think you will have the signal but there is no imei

If you flash my roms

Just use mtk tool to change imei

Or flash the nvRAM

if you flash the stock rom

Flash the nvRAM

THEN

your problem solved

You can now flash any rom without losing any thing

Just dont flash modem fix or make full format by sp flash tool

Try and let us know

[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] alwaysadeel:
[MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION]

I know this is not my device forum but this is the closest to it. i have Honor 3c lite (Hol-U19). Its bootloader is acting up. Any command beginning with

causes output '---' and fastboot hangs. I cant enter any fastboot oem command. like

Other commands like

work fine. You have any idea.?
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Glad that you solved it. FYI, instead changing it manually, you can also use this script to help you.

No i don't think you can update directly to that ROM as the ROM probably has been deodexed.

The ROM might install just fine but then you might face some force close, so, if you want to try that, try a clean install instead.

Oh that's normal, as fastboot has never been part of MTK devices, usually it comes either disabled or with trimmed down version of fastboot.

Infact, i never heard of any MTK device that can be unlocked/flashed through fastboot, well, at least true on all MTK devices that i tried.

But if your device has sources, you can actually patch it to add/re-enable fastboot cmds support, like Dees_Troy did, from what i read.

MTK devices use SP Flash Tool for flashing, AFAIK Hol-U19 uses MT6582 like 3C, you can just use the one i provided in OP,

but i am not sure about the unlocking on your device, as i didn't find any chance to check on that device yet.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] alwaysadeel:
ok thnx for the info. that means only way of unlocking is to flash an already unlocked bootloader, but how do i know mine is locked or not. i have compared preloader and secro.img for both 3c and 3c lite and they are different in size, also secro.img in 3c lite is of normal rom type (whatever that means) .

I am into source building custom rom, and sources for MT6582 chipset are available from 4pda and also by CM for sprout.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_mediatek_sprout

but i dont know why CM11 or 12 has not been built for 3C. all i see are ported roms of same android version. ??

ty for your advice but it still won't work .

do i need to remove some of the system app ?

edit :

in the end, i use the pico one ..
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Yea, correct, 3C users were lucky because we have different variants of it, where China's version is unlocked, so we simply flashed using that firmware.

Maybe you can try to do the same, eg: search for (leaked) unlocked firmware, or try the closed variant, eg: hol-u10, tho there will be some risk.

About CyanogenMod, yea i wished i know how to do it, but i am lack of required knowledge for this, plus i don't have many free time nowadays.

And i do aware of the kernel source for sprout, but we have our own source, link provided in op as well, it's old, but it did built & boot to recovery, but lots of things are not working.

It would be great if experienced users like you, or someone else can guide us, maybe some other 3C user with more free time/resources can do this.

Hi again! Argh, i didn't realize PA's gapps size has increased so much since recent updates, the nano now required ~136MB free space, try the pico (~99MB) instead.

I am not sure what is the free space on B261 as i haven't tested that, but what i know is you will need to free at least the above mentioned space for it.

You can delete unneeded chinese apps in /system partition, or delete unneeded gapps in the zip itself, i believe some file manager should give you some clue how many MB left on /system.

EDIT: Opss nvm, saw you flashed pico, glad to hear that it worked.
