HI all,

Many thanks to this forum as I now have my Y550 rooted and with CWM recovery installed.

But as "Dimspace" said the version of CWM linked to has the backup/restore section in Chinese, which is extremely hard to navigate. Does anybody know of a working version for the Y550 that is fully in english, please?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turkey_shoot:
I just bought this phone, haven't been able to root yet (need bootloader unlock code) but I have been collecting all the files available.

There seems to be 2 suitable CWM versions, one in a RAR file and one as a zip file. Maybe these CWM versions are identical (just in different packaging) but you can try.

The one in the instructions by dimspace is the RAR file, and I assume has the chinese.

The other is from Android-Hilfe.de and is a zip file: http://translate.googleusercontent....n.html&usg=ALkJrhjikCT_d99daEuupZzbTTZmHXdgug

Use at your own risk (of course).. the original poster states: The CMW Recovery actually comes from the G620s but can also be used on the Y550 partitions are identical.

Fast bootloader unlock code for Y550

Thanks dimspace this method worked for me - I'm now rooted!

However, I'd like to suggest a slight change to your guide. I was waiting for a while for my bootloader code by email but found this guide.

(Sorry - no link because I'm a new user)... en.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=30795

Simply replace 'C8812' with 'Y550-L01' and fill in the other information (as outlined by dimspace) to get the bootloader code instantly and then continue to follow dimspace's guide.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparkrite:
Thanks for that, but those two CWM's are the same unfortunately, (chinese in the backup/restore menu).

A simple and instant way to get your bootloader unlock code is to follow the instructions here.........

Worked perfectly for my Y550.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turkey_shoot:
How did you get the Y550 to show up in the list on the bootloader unlock page?

(At http://en.club.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=pre for those interested)

There is also a similar page at http://emui.huawei.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail

The Y550 doesn't show up in the list for devices for me for on both these pages. I even tried the page "inspect element" modification to trick the system into producing codes for phones not on the list (see http://en.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=30795).

Is the Y550 in the list for you?

[Edit: I got my product code using the *#*# command on the phone. Will your method give a different product code?]

[Edit2: sorry, didn't see the previous poster above already listed the bootload unlock site]

[Edit3: I have the L02 version of the Y550, maybe that is the problem?]

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparkrite:
I'm not being smart or anything, but did you read/follow the instructions given at

http://mate7.net/ascend-mate7-bootloader-unlock/

If you did then you would have seen that you do NOT try to use/input Y550-L01/2/3 as the model (as you can't) but rather use Y300-0000 and use the product ID generator linked to on the page to generate the product ID (for a Y300-0000) and then input the serial and IMEI of your own phone.

Rubbish !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turkey_shoot:
OK, ignore most of what I said above (I need to RTFM!).

Just to be clear for others, the bootloader unlock instructions by Sparkrite worked for me too.. the Windows software unlock generator creates a different product ID from the one you get from the phone itself. Use the generator code with Y300 in the Huawei web site and it works perfectly. Phone now unlocked.

I did discover there must be a limit to the number of phones you can unlock in one day, because I have two Y550s and only the first one unlocked. The second one didn't work, and when I tried to re-enter the first one, Huawei wouldn't cough up the code again. Maybe tomorrow..

Thanks again to Sparkrite for that link and instructions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparkrite:
Good to hear it worked for you. :D

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Try clearing your cache and/or reset your router/modem to change IP (assuming you do not have a static IP).

See if this works to allow you to generate the unlock code for your second Y550.

Chinese CWM menu options

Does anyone know the menu options to make CWM backups go to the SD card and not internal phone memory?

I had a very brown trousers moment when I tried to make a backup and it filled the internal memory.. and then stopped the phone from being able to boot. Thought I had bricked it (especially after clearing cache and data, with still no reboot).

Deleting the backups from within CWM fixed the problem. Phew!

From what I can work out the top menu "Backup and Restore" leads to these second level options:

1) backup image

2) restore image

3) delete image

4) restore -> with options

5) backup (to SD?)

6) restore (from SD?)

7 delete image from SD?

8) restore -> with options from SD?

Can anyone confirm or correct these?

SrsRoot didn't work for me (even after unlocking bootloader)! I am still waiting for a OneClick method!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparkrite:
Unfortunately there is no "one click root" at the moment, but thanks to Dimspace there is a method of rooting.

Just re-read this thread to find/see it.

BTW Unlocking the boot loader does not directly allow rooting, but does allow you to install a recovery with options to flash a method to obtain root privileges. Which is what Dimspace has quite clearly previously documented.

Easy as.... :D

You can get the latest version of the real Huawei keyboard (not Swype) here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46477160&postcount=1

It works very well on our Y550 so I'm sure it will work fine on your model too.

Luckily there are also stacks of language packs available for it too.

It seems lot's of users with Samsung and other brand phones also want it because it is so good..!!!

You need to get the file named Huawei Input Method 6.4.01.apk which is linked at the bottom of the first post, together with any other language packs you might need from the included drive.google.com link in the post.

*You don't need the file named HwIME v6.1.36.apk because this is just an older version of the keyboard app.

I need to be able to have Japanese input on all my droid devices and until recently I had never found a Japanese language pack for the Huawei keyboard, this forced me to use the bloated Google IME Japanese keyboard, but the one from the above thread works great and means I can now happily manage perfectly with just the Huawei keyboard, it's smaller and actually works just as well as the Google one.

*I also keep the Swype one installed too, it's great for knocking out quick replies in English, but there are no language packs for it that suit my Japanese writing needs...

The keyboard in the linked thread above is a newer version keyboard than was included on my older G526 and G300+ models.

I think nearly all pre-KitKat Huawei phones came with this keyboard, and that Huawei have only started including Swype on the newer KitKat models.

Note: For anyone with an older Huawei deivce, I was able to add the Japanese language pack to my G526 phones version of the Huawei keyboard and it works great. There was no need to install the newer keyboard app, the old pre-installed one that came with the phone functions well enough.

Good luck....

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeshayh:
Yes, as I said before my phone completely died when I finished flashing the stock rom, I do not know why that happened but the phone does not enter in recovery / fastboot / dload mode, the phone does not show a sign of life, the only thing that happens is that if I connect it to the computer it appears as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the device manager, this is a full firmware download mode, from some program for Qualcomm processors like QPST. I did not use any software that altered the NV or OEM partitions, the reason why I said that the IMEI and SN should be changed is because I do not know if that information is replaced when restoring the backup from the QPST program. The procedure is: first install the Qualcomm drivers, then install the QPST program, it is necessary that the Diagnostic Mode is enabled on your phone, in order to make the backup. To enable the Diagnostic Mode on your phone you need to have root access, the Mode Diagnosis must be enabled from Adb, then you must turn off your phone and connect it to the computer, start the program and make the backup, then you must compress the file with winrar or another and upload it. the backup can be done if you have stock rom or custom rom, it is not important because what is going to repair is the bootloader, after the backup is applied to my phone I must flash the stock rom and the IMEI and SN must be changed If it's necessary. It's all I need

I can provide you with links to the necessary files and also explain well if you do not understand something

Thanks a lot :o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
Thanks.

Still a bit confused about what is happening here. Most people with similar problems ran OEM scripts etc, trying to change startup logo, or restoring oeminfo.epb from another phone, etc. If you did nothing like this I'm guessing it's likely your phone has physical memory damage.

Please clarify "the phone does not enter in ... dload mode". Did you get any message when pressing all 3 buttons? (First vol up and down, followed by power, till vibrates) Eg "recovery image verify failed - please update to authorized images"? led flash? No response at all?

Will look at QPST backup in my spare time, which is limited. PW.

I am definitely interested in helping, if possible. I have close to no experience in porting or building Android.

Yesterday, I did follow the LineageOS build guide and now have a working setup for building the Cherry-image.

One step of the guide is to populate the vendor-folder with vendor-specific and proprietary stuff. I have done this using my Y550-L01 with [MENTION=4479868]desalesouche[/MENTION] 's most recent image.

It was a challenge getting the memory-settings right for the build process, but I seem to have got it working.

I finally tried the image and... TWRP complained the Y550-L01 was not supported.

I edited a mk-file and tried again... the phone then only boots to fastboot mode (or TWRP). Long live TWRP-backups :)

I am willing to invest time and effort, please let me know how to contribute.

As I mentioned (in post #5973) since lineage-14.1-20171226_233047-UNOFFICIAL, for me AudioFX bug is gone. Also, in call volume level is now adjusted by vol up / down rocker buttons for earpiece, headphones, speaker and Bluetooth.

Just been playing with fluence settings as promised.

Standard calls over earpiece were working fine with original custom ROM settings, ie:

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence

But on speaker, volume is very low and still have Echo for other caller (they hear themselves).

Changed ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluencepro

Other party could no longer hear me at all on speaker, volume still very low.

Changed ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none

Echo for other caller with Y550 on speaker mode is gone! Speaker volume is loud!

Surprisingly, Bluetooth problems seem to be gone also (even after more than one call on my problem BT headset)!

So all my audio problems seem to be fixed simply by changing this one buildprop entry to original stock ROM setting, ie: none.

Other caller said background noise seemed ok with this too, but I'm not yet 100% sure it doesn't increase a bit with fluencetype set to none.

(ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype= can be set to "fluence" or "fluencepro" or "none")

Speaker quiet, echo for other caller with Y550 on speaker mode, and bluetooth problems are solved by setting ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none in buildprop.

Using Y550-L01 with latest ROM (2017-12-27). Tested in-call volume control, hands-free (speaker) mode and muting of microphone. I have not adjusted or changed any buildprop value (don't know where to do that).

Muting the microphone works.

Hands-free (speaker) mode does not work initially, but only after two, three toggles between mode. Then it does work.

In-call volume control using rockers works, both normal and hands-free (speaker) mode.

Bluetooth streaming audio to a BT receiver works, including volume control using the rockers.
