Ofcause you unlocked, otherwise you won't be able to flash at all, what i mean was maybe there was some mis-step, eg: entered wrong address, etc.

I am not sure which patch you were referring to, for TWRP issue, i will have to wait someone else to replicate the same error/problem.

2.7 was my first release, i made some mistake and fixed them in 2.8, also, backup path in 2.8 has been changed if i am not mistaken,

if you made the backup with 2.7 you will need to rename the backup folder name according to 2.8 format in order to be able to see the backup.

As for the data problem, make sure the phone is disconnected from pc and MTP has been disabled before you (un)mount/format/restore data.

You should use the one based on your target ROM version, since all MIUI out there is still 4.2 JB, you should use the JB one.

What do i think? Nope! i won't think about that ROM at all because that ROM is not for Honor 3C, it's for Honor Holly/Lite.

No one can help you if you don't read carefully what you are trying to install, just to remind you that this thread is for Honor 3C H30-U10.

Check your driver again, but if you can install a ROM there is no reason you can't install a custom recovery.

If without battery doesn't work, try to flash with battery instead, this tips has been mentioned in post #2 too, but only if you care to read.

Most budget MTK phone does not support OTA simply because hardware does not supply (enough) power to power the usb device,

some device can be hacked by using a modded USB cable to provide external power, but not sure if this is the case for this phone,

i don't know much about this as i don't use OTG personally, you will have to find the info by yourself.

Hi there, usually fake 3C uses a totally different hardware than genuine 3C, i don't think you can simply use our ROM.

The SP FlashTool methods probably not safe for you, i suggest you to visit needrom.com to see if there any custom ROM made for your device.

Use MIUI to fix IMEI? My thread does not have any guide that say you can do that! You probably followed someone else guide.

Please start to read from the front page, i am sure you will find everything you need to know if you spend some time to read.

Once the full backup created and secured, everything is safe, just make sure you read carefully all the warnings before you proceed.

But again, this thread is definitely

NOT

for those who really care about warranty.

Big Thanks Codelover. waiting for new Cusrom for H3c..
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] neerajsain:
Yes [MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION] I disable MTP first but when I start restore it failed. thats why I used 2.7 to restore data. You are right about path which is different in 2.8. For that I take a test backup using 2.7 and then copy my old backup to 2.7 TWRP backup folder to restore.

Is There Any Way To Shut Camera Sound Off In Huawei Honor 3c?

[MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION].

I have an issue with Sim 1 Tools and Sim 2 Tools they don't work. (fw EU C432B109) I think because I uninstalled some apps (that I thinked useless, games and other ones) before a nandroid backup (used to restore smartphone). When I click on them it appear a message "App not installed". Could you help me? (I use only one sim on slot 1 and restored nandroid backup as you tell me boot, uboot, recovery, system ONLY)

Dear [MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION], thank you very much for your guide. It really helped me with another similar model (Huawei Honor 3C Play Hol-U10).

I still have a problem with this device:

When the phone is turned off and I plug in the USB charger, the screen lights up with Huawei logo, but there is not any charging animation.

The screen keeps up on with Huawei logo all night.

What do you recommend me to do?

Can you tell me which is the path of charging animation in Honor 3C?

Thank you in advance.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] xondrax:
[MENTION=5462822]Zraus[/MENTION] as far as I know,the charging animation is visible only a few seconds after connecting charger with phone off and every time You tap buttons /power or volume/To avoid all night screen up try disable "dont switch off screen" in developer options in settings
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] Zraus:
Thank you for your answer xondrax, but it doesn't work.

That option is already disabled, and only affects when the phone is turned on.

The problem with my phone is that it doesn't have charging animation.

When the phone is turned off and I plug in the charger, the screen lights up, and it only appears a static Huawei logo. Then, the screen never turns off.

That's why I'm asking what's the path of the charging animation, to check if the folder is empty, and try to know what's happening.

Update availble for Honor 3C B109 EU on official hihonor website. Could this update H30-U10 V100R001C432B110 used also as a stock ROM to lock again bootloader? :confused:
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
I don't think there is any option to disable the camera sound in EMUI 2.0 4.2, but for EMUI 2.3/3.0 you can disable it right inside the camera app itself.

For EMUI 2.0 there is some workaround, like delete the sound file, somewhere in /system/media/audio/ if i am not mistaken, try to search *camera* related '*.ogg'.

Alternatively you can try other custom camera app, which should give you the option to disable the shutter sound.

The "SIM Tools" apps are just shortcuts to extra features provided by the SIM card, like phonebook switcher, which is deprecated IMHO.

If your SIM does not provide that features, or you do not have SIM card inserted in that particular slot, you will get that error when you click the app.

B149 is latest china firmware i supposed, there won't be any IMEI issue as there are from the same based, except the android version.

Glad to hear that you find the tutorials useful or your 3C Play too. Alright, back to your questions... here are my questions...

Are you sure you are using the right kernel for your phone? and the right ROM? Trying 3C ROM/files on your 3C play perhaps?

If that is the case, you will have to restore your stock ROM/files, if there is any available (Note: ROM backup might not work)

Anyway, the huawei logo is logo.bin, and charging logo should be in systemui.apk (for most phone), but i am not sure about H3C.

Ah thanks for the info, glad to hear that there is atleast an official ROM available for europe version now.

Nope, you can't use that to relock, the only way to relock is by using signed files for SPFT, which they will never provide.

I checked the ROM, it's in UPDATE.APP format, which you can use to restore official firmware for europe set, just

NOT

locked state.

If your BL is still locked you can simply use that ROM to upgrade, using Force Upgrade methods described in OP.

EDIT: Okay checked, it's indeed V100R001C432B109, NOT B110 as claimed, anyway, download link added to OP.

I have an xxxxxxC432B109 from Germany.

Is this C432B110 update, an update to Android4.4.2 EMUI3.0 ?

I think it will wipe all the user data and apps during install, right?

If I do an nandroid backup of my B109 system before update to B110, can I go back to B109 using my nandroid backup if needed?

Also, I've read with ANdroid 4.4.2 you cant install apps to sdcard anymore, only to internal storage! Is that right?

EDIT: The update didn't work, it said I have B115 installed and cant update to B110!!!

I have B109!! It must be the root I've done from first page, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip using Live-TWRP

any chance of making us xxxC432B109 users a root-superuser.zip file to flash using the V100R001C432B110 update posted on Honor website?

Apparently some European users after updating with the V100R001C432B110 file still have the V100R001C432B109 on their phones, still written B109 in phone information after the update!
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] Silthion:
Hey there! I didn´t have the phone for a while, so now I'm trying to do what you recommended here.

The phone model is hol-u10, I bought it in China.

It doesn't come with KitKat but android 4.2.2 .

Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V19, 2014/07/09 13:45

Kernel version: 3.4.5

Build number: Holly-U10V100R001CHSC01B049

I'm trying to follow your guide "Backup your current ROM (Create ROM dump with SP FlashTool)"

I installed all the drivers and followed all the steps, but I'm stuck because when I plug the phone without battery it doesn't do anything at all. I've tried with different wires in different ports of different computers with no luck.

Do you have any suggestion?

The phone is not for me, so I would be happy If I could just remove all the chinese bloatware and install google play. Multilanguage and root would be sweet, but not totally necessary.

I think these are some factory roms: http://www.needrom.com/download/huawei-honor-3c-play-edition/

Thank you very much for your help!
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Nope, rooting has nothing to do with that, infact, you probably did something wrong, eg: you did a normal update instead of

force

update, or something else.

Nah, if you noticed my edited post, i already confirmed that the update.app provided on honor website is the same C432B109 that you are using,

not

B110 as claimed.

You can flash B108

directly

, but like i said earlier, B108 is for International set, and i am not sure if it's safe for europe set too.

It's not even safe for china set 3C to use that, there are already few (hard)bricked phone after accidently flashed that ROM.

I am not sure how different is the europe set with international set, someone have to be brave enough to test it, then we will know.

Sure, but my support to the phone will be very limited as i do not personally own the phone, i can't run any test myself.

Right now i am not sure if this phone has bootloader locked like our's H3C international set, things/methods could be slighly different.

For this to work, i will need some info about phone, as well as some brave users to test some possibly suicide missions...

If you are using Win 8 x64 & above, make sure you have read this and installed a compatible VCOM driver, refer to OP for drivers.

Since Honor Holly & 3C Lite share a very similar specs, i supposed you can use TWRP to get the job done when i added support for 3C Lite.

Well, i guess my ported TWRP should works now too, but i suggest you to wait until i confirmed it's safe for Holly/3C lite too.

EDIT: [MENTION=1333653]Silthion[/MENTION], "the job" = remove the bloatware; If without battery doesn't work, try with battery! clearly you missed the tip in OP.

EDIT #2: yes, china set should be unlocked, LiveTWRP should be safe as long as your device is not fake/clone device, if it's MT6582 you are good to go, root & gapps.

-
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] Silthion:
I installed the drivers you post under the " HAVE 'MediaTek VCOM Driver' Installed." section succesfully. I have windows 7. The problem is the phone doesn't even "turn on" when plugged in without battery, the computer doesn't recognize any new device nor does any sound.

About getting the job done. You mean installing TWRP with Easy Magic TWRP Installer and making a back up with TWRP?

edit: Thank you for your help [MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION] ! I managed to do the backup, but I'm very unsure on how to proceed now. By what I read on the first page, as I have a chinese phone the bootloader should be unlocked, right? What I'm tempted to do now is executing live twrp without flashing it and then flashing root and gapps. Would that endanger my device? What would you recommend me to do? Thank you for your patience!
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] alfagama:
Hi there

I have H30-U10 Chinese model running on 4.4 kit Kat (256 stable).

I have tried to root with vroot and genius root without luck.

Is there another method which I can use? I dont won't custom recovery, I want just to root my Huawei.

and another question. in case in which rooting is only possible with CWM. which CWM should I pick, for what MTK phone?

Regular MTK phone

MTK phone with "custpack"

MTK phone with Ubifs file system
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] angel_1975:
Some people have flashed international B109 or B115 on europe B109 (with method UPDATE.APP in dload folder on sd card,without unlock bootloader) without any problem, so I can think that it's possible the opposite (from International V900 to Europe V432). Naturally, as you said, it needs some brave guys :)
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] Silthion:
Sorry to bother you again... When trying to make liveTWRP work it doesn't go into sd upgrade mode automatically, so when I do it manually with method 1 it says:

Signature Verification failed

Installation aborted.

I don't know if this is relevant but the method 1 doesn´t work exactly as it is for me, instead of pushing vol up, vol down and power at the same time, I have to power on the phone and immediately press vol up and vol down.

I've repeated the whole process many times. I've tried with different sd of different capacities, all of them formatted with FAT32. I put the dload folder in the right place, I downloaded several times the file just in case it was corrupted.

Is there something I have missed?

I also tried to flash TWRP with SFTP but it gave me an error (number 8038), so it seems my phone has the bootloader locked even if I bought it in china. I'm sure it's original because I bought it from the official store.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
It is possible and stable. Because I did, but flashing singed rom of international version using SPF, not via sd upgrade. It might work by this method, but I cannot guarantee it because I didn't test. Anyway the flashtools method of reverting to lock state flashing the signed rom worked both for international version of this phone and also for europe version of this phone.

And, as I agreed with [MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION], the idea is to make a backup of european version itself then maybe we can make a signed package for flashtools to restore to lock state and clean everything in order to use warranty for european version of h30-u10. I'll try to make this backup, and after that maybe we could sign it somehow (I need help for that).

[/COLOR [MENTION=4893922]codelover[/MENTION],

I've the rom almost ready following your instructions.

What to do now to sing it and then share with all european h3c owners to be safe to unlock their bootloaders and upgrade?

Do you want me to upload it anywhere?

Regards
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
EDIT: [MENTION=1218884]alfagama[/MENTION], there are two versions of VRoot, one is app (apk), another is PC version (exe), PC version usually works better.

but as a reminder, using this kind of rooter is not recommended as it usually comes with bloatware.

I am not aware of any other method, and i am not looking for any either as we already have the best & easiest method.

If you are sure your device is china set, you can just flash TWRP for root purpose and restore the stock recovery after that.

(Note: You do not need root to install TWRP, instead, you use TWRP to gain full root access)

You can find everything you need to know as well as the resources if you start to read from the first page.

Don't get confused with UPDATE.app & SPFT method, the .app method will always be safer as it does not involve flashing preloader.

You can use UPDATE.app at any time even with locked BL, as long as they are compatible, the europe set probably sharing the same base with intl. set.

Hi there, i think you got confused, have you ever use custom recovery before?

Either you key combination was wrong, or you were not entering the correct mode, but i am not sure what you are trying to do.

Like i stated in OP, LiveTWRP only works for 4.2 and some older 4.4 builds, and you do not need to press any key combo to enter LiveTWRP.

As for SPFT Error #8038, it's not related to locked bootloader, likely your partition layout is different with ours.

You should double check if your device is H30-U10 2G Unicom as this thread focused on this particular device, there are atleast 5 variants of 3C.

You can also try to re-read the guides as you probably missed quite a lot of important tips.

Great, thanks for the feedback, so you are the brave guy ya, so if that works, probably there is a chance to relock back to B109.

Incase you haven't noticed, i have already added the B109 stock ROM to OP, which i believe is the one that comes with the phone,

What you can do to help is, zip & send me all files below 10MB generated using dumpSplitter, including files in NoDL folder (via PM),

i will check whether the backup has been generated properly, the backup is very important as the stock ROM only contains the system related files.

Thanks

Perfect mate, I'll upload everything, complete backup but those small files (10mb) splitted from the zip. I'll send via pm in some hours.

This rom is untouched rom from spf read back (I didn't start even the phone), so I guess maybe better than extract from update.app. Anyway I up everything for you.

Thank you so much for your help.

Have you succeeded in downloading that rom? I am also interested in that. So will you tell me? Will anyone tell me hot to easily download it?

It will be great help for us if someone make mirror of this Rom for us.

Thanks in advance....
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] codelover:
Did you follow this guide when installing the ROM? You will need VersionJumper-JB if you are running EMUI 2.3/3.0 or any other KK ROM.

Please note that it's been quite a long time since i last updated the ROM list, you guys can find more updated list maintained by user Wi-nter from 4pda.ru.

Hmm... could be screen overlay issue, do you have Xposed Framework installed? Try reload or change the theme.

You can also try Full Unroot and then reinstall the SuperSU app, or try older version of the SuperSU app.

The reason why you can't download probably because the uploader/developer activated the anti-hotlinking feature,

the download link won't work unless you click through the

real

original post. I wish XDA have this feature too, probably could save alot of innocent people!

If you clicked through a post but still didn't work, probably the post is a copycat's work that used original author works & resources.

Making mirrors will be convenience for us, but not recommended unless the original developer has given you permission to do so, please respect the original developers.

Thank you for the files my friend.

I did a quick check, the B109's preloader is almost identical with international B108, that's why you were able to use B108 without any issue.

You might just found a way to relock on EU set! Now someone will have to check if B108 can be upgraded to B109 using SD

Force Upgrade

.

If the upgrade works too and no other issue like missing IMEIs, then the relocking issue can be closed. Thanks again!

Just another repeated reminder to all new H3C user:

Please do a Full ROM Dump first before you try anything else or there is no way i could help you to recover your device!

.
[Honor 3C Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
Thanks to you for your help, your perfect guides and everthing.

I've tested to change from Europe to International set via SD upgrade and locked bootloader...and the result is.

Worked.

Perfectly moved from V100R001C432B109 (European set) to V100R001C900B110 (International set).

So I converted my phone without unlock bootloader from C432 to C900.

And I guess it's obvious that it can be converted again from C900 to C432, but let me try in a while.

So, if is possible to do C900 -> C432, then relock is just as easy as:

- Flash C900B108 signed using flashtools, phone will be relocked.

- Go to recovery and force upgrade to C432.

Voilá.

Euro guys, go go go, we can relock safely our phones :)

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

And the result of C900 -> C432 is....

WORKED.

But! When I did V100R001C432B109 (European set) to V100R001C900B110 (International set), recovery gives an error copying the cust at the end of the process. At first I though, it's not going to work, because this is the same error what you find when you force upgrade to chinese version....And rebooting I found that imei is fine, not lost, so fine, but this error msg of cust...is strange, so i think that there might be any difference between the bootloader of eu version and international version.

When I did V100R001C900B110 (International set) to V100R001C432B109 (European set), everything went fine, without any cust problem.
