Thats the latest OTA update for the CC version. To get the Tethering working you have to be rooted to be able to edit the build.prop file in your system directory and another file must be added to your cust directory to get the toggle for tethering.

****Make a TWRP Backup before you Proceed****

MUST BE Rooted. Instructions to get Tethering and all stuff working on phone.

Use ES File Explorer and enable write for root access.

1. rename the original build.prop in the /system directory on phone.

2. Copy the supplied build.prop to the /system directory on phone.

3. rename the original default_order.xml in the /cust/consumercellular/us/xml directory on phone.

4. Copy the supplied default_order.xml to the /cust/consumercellular/us/xml directory on phone.

5. Goto application manager find "Toolbox" and clear defaults.

6. Restart the phone and you will have tethering.

Have any one reicive the new update ?? And want to know if its necesary to have a consumer cellular sin card to get the update vía ota

How do i get the update?

I went to about phone and checked the online updates and it found nothing.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] mohlsen8:
i just got the notification today. note to everyone that it downloads to "external_sd/HwOUC/update_sign.zip" - the HwOUC directory on the sdcard. i looked for a while to try to grab the file before installing but didn't know where it was until i installed through TWRP. and actually it doesn't matter, it's still on my sdcard after install. if anyone wants the file, PM me, i really don't want to post a public link.

anyone know if we have any firmware files for this phone? been a while since i dug around. i was wondering before about how i'd get stock recovery back if i needed it. but really i'm wondering if we have like a whole firmware image file somewhere.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] leo221:
how did you install the update_sign.zip using TWRP? I get a fail message using TWRP install zip.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] mohlsen8:
i got the OTA notification on the phone and let the system install it. it rebooted to TWRP, installed just fine, and rebooted. i was worried it wouldn't install because of TWRP but it did. maybe you made changes to your system so it fails the checks?

anyone know if there's a stock recovery/firmware image anywhere?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] bornagainpenguin:
What is the recommended way to convert this phone back to the Manufacturer original?

As far as I can tell the only thing making this Consumer Cellular variant different from the unlocked manufacturer original is the carrier lock and a few potentially minor theming elements changed for branding purposes, otherwise it seems to have the 16GB internal storage, 2GB of RAM, etc as the original. Honestly I will probably stick with Consumer Cellular at first because price wise it looks to be the same as Straight Talk, I'm just trying to be proactive and make sure it keep my options open. What really attracts me to this variant is Consumer Cellular declares it to be hearing aid compatible (HAC) with a very high rating of M4/T4, so I really want to make sure I get the right model and I don't know if the Walmart variant will have this or not.

Was planning on getting the manufacturer unlocked model but I don't know if it has that HAC or not.

So are the steps:

1) buy phone.

2) contact Huawei for bootloader unlock.

3) unlock bootloader, install recovery with root.

4) backup, back up, back up!

5) hunt down something unlock on eBay.

6) hunt down various roms and?? This is where I start getting lost. The post I saw said the guy pushed various extracted images, would like a better step by step guide. Also would like confirmation the previous steps were accurate.

Thanks for the help.

How to disable update notification?

I downloaded the update file, took a look, but decided not to install.

Now, can someone help me - How to disable update notification? It is annoying to dismiss the message every time when I unlock the phone.

Thanks!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] DRAGWAV:
Hello after reading through and trying quite a few things it looks like I'm having issues similar to a previous post with no toggles, build.prop seems messed up. I have the cc version with b148. Phone works but will not get LTE when set to automatic for access points will drop data connection.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] dramerica:
Made a backup, clicked on install update, it rebooted but installation failed (because I changed a few things, my phone is not stock anymore), then it went into TWRP.

Booted back into Android, most things were OK, but it did mess up a security certificate (I don't know how and why).

Now the annoying update message does not show any more.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] gr3atl10n:

I sent them my IMEI & S/N and asked for my unlock code (it's free)

And went on to unlock in under 5 minutes using ADB Bridge & towelroot by geohot. Great 5 minute tutorial on youtube: By Joshua Bass.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] bornagainpenguin:
Just something that occurred to me. Does this variant have Consumer Wireless logos all over the outside case?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] baii:
Just one medium size logo in the back, a car would easily cover it.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] bornagainpenguin:

A what?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] baii:
A case, Google keyboard gesture's fault.

Sent from my 306SH
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] bornagainpenguin:
I figured it had to be something like that, I just found the typo amusing. Thanks for both answering the question and for clarifying.

Is the Consumer Wireless logo in place of Huawei's or in addition to it? I fully intend to get a case, I'm just curious and the nearest retail seller is thirty minutes away by car so I have to rely on others for details until I can purchase mine.

Thanks again for the reply.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] baii:
Quickly stole a image from ebay~

And then there the boot logo , but I think that's pretty much it.

The consumer cellular is ~50 cheaper , some like the saving, some like more oem~
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] bornagainpenguin:
Actually I'm seeing it for as much as $75 cheaper compared to the manufacturer model, and it seems to be exactly the same except for the price and the carrier lock.

consunmer wireles android 5.0??

Will this variant get the android 5.0 update??
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] resansid:
Some people speculating NO! Hence we may have to flash the OEM ROM to get the OTA update for "L".

If we get the Anroid "L" update confirmation on CC version then I am more thaN happy to remain on the factory CC ROM.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] defacto:
I bought mine for $219 and paid $2.75 for the unlock on ebay. I am using with AT&T and am very happy with this phone so far. I am still waiting for the update so I can tether.. and I am in hopes for the android L release... if CC doesnt provide it I will load a stock rom and upate it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
CC has said they will NOT be updating to L.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] plakkat:
Did you talked to them?? Or plis show me the link or the place were they said that??
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] rekamyenom:
You can buy this phone at Sears $225. Great phone and great deal!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] D33PTHAWTE:
Moody66 may or may not be able to substantiate the claim that consumer cellular devices will not update to lollipop....HOWEVER, it simply stands to reason that they wouldn't.

Consider this: a third tier carrier whose target demographic is retirees on fixed incomes-

Why in the world would consumer cellular spend the money to push an update?

If Huawei pushes the 5.0 or better it's to save face and build customer loyalty, consumer cellular shouldn't need to concern itself with either. Their target would be get largest number of possible customers paying monthly service fees, period. Getting the Mate 2 was little more than a happy accident for them.

This is just my opinion, feel free to treat it as such.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand. Wouldn't they just be able to download the update from Huawei and install it?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Because that is a Provider phone. Huawei would make a rom for them if the provider chose to. They chose NOT to. Therefor no Lollipop unless you load a stock rom onto one of them. And manually flash L.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Did you make a backup in TWRP? If so, figure out how to boot into TWRP (recovery) and Restore the backup. If not, then you failed to follow directions.

By the way, there is a method to apply the 148 ROM and there is no reason to do the step you took. Tether works without all of the build prop stuff.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] mtyler7807:
hotspot

When you try to apply 148 to cc version it will fail. And if you fastboot the partitons separtely over they will work. but you will need the the lines out of the original build prop to keep your 4glte working properly. If not you will have hspa+ at the top. That whats must people are looking for. An exact match to the non cc version.

Rename yours to build.propbackup

Here is my build.Prop https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwnSk8BOQp3wcFRBYVNQcnFOQXc/view?usp=sharing

cust/xxx/us/Prop

cust/xxx/us/xml

"xxx" is you carrier name

Rename prop folder to propbackup

Rename xml folder to xmlbackup

Unzip this file. It has two folder in it.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwnSk8BOQp3wWDZWR0s1dEYyUzA/view?usp=sharing

Paste prop folder in us folder

Paste xml folder in us folder

Restart phone.

Toggles and hotspot straight.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] dedupfool:
Thanks and I was able to recover from TWRP backup but the part that I did follow also was line 2 and your response indicates that I do not need to follow copy build.prop to the /system directory and only the default_order.xml which I am now hesistant to do. I am also not clear on what step I took that was not necessary from your response.

2. Copy the supplied build.prop to the /system directory on phone.

Thank you for clarifying.

I just got this phone today just to find out this thread is dead :)

I'm going to go through this thread, but if anyone could just tell me what is the best way to go.

I want to have:

0. it unlocked for to use with T-Mobile

1. very stable build.

2. the least amount of bloatware

3. tethering

4. timely updates (it has 4.3 right now, not sure what the latest is)

Do I need to sim-unlock it first or will flashing it unlocked non-carrier rom sim-unlock it?

Will I get updates if I flash another unlocked rom?

Is there a choice of roms for t-mobile, other than the unlocked one?

I don't care about wifi calling, but want tethering.

Thanks!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alselius:
Hi,

I just bought a Nexus 5 and I'm having unbearable trouble getting it connected with my PC. I have spent the last 3 or 4 hours on Google and xda forums searching for a solution but nothing has worked so far.

My situation is as follows:

I'm using a laptop running Windows 8.1, I have tried both the original USB cable that came in the package as well as an older one and all the ports on my laptop.

I checked device manager and saw that it was connecting with ACER adb interface drivers. Some people had had the same problem, so I uninstalled the drivers. After that I installed Universal Naked Driver 0.73 (disabled checking for signatures first), my PC could not identify the Google package as a driver. Nexus still didn't show up in explorer although device manager now showed that it was connecting with the proper driver.

I downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit and did the step-by-step driver setup. Toolkit itself connected perfectly well with my phone and stated that the drivers were successfully installed but my phone still doesn't show up anywhere in explorer.

I've really run out of ideas and cannot find anything online that's related to my problem that I haven't already tried. If anyone could help me, I'd really greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks,

Alselius

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahill4:
We have a fleet of these set up with several different configurations. I quick google search brought up a page called bar code discount dot com that has most of the same stuff we use (but this forum will not let me post links). I have worked with the usb cable charger, the single tablet dock, the 4 tablet dock, and the 4 extra battery dock.

For the cable, you need a charging brick, I think item PWRS-14000-148R. The cable we have look like item 25-153149-01R. The brick plugs into the cable a few inches from the USB connector. The USB connector need not be plugged into anything, but can be used in flashing the rom from a computer (or you can do that from a micro-sd).

The single tablet dock (item DC1000-1000U) uses the same charging brick.

I have not used the above web page nor am I associated with them in any way. But the parts you need are out there.

It is also true that stock, the et1 has a usb port on the top edge. We replace this port with a bar code scanner, but I wounder if that can be used to change it...
