I noticed over on the modaco forum that there is talk of somebody making an english version TWRP for the Y550, instead of the foreign language G602S version of CWM this thread has been discussing. (Sorry, I'm still too new to be allowed to post links...)

I'm going to hang off rooting my Y550 for a couple of days to see if a working TWRP appears.

I'll post comments and info here if it happens, if anyone else hears anything about this please keep us informed by posting here...

Firmware L01 and L03

Hi!

I found Y550 firmware for L01 and L03 in this site Susutun as "Android Firmware Huawei Y500group" (I can't link it because I'm a new user). Maybe some one need it.

By the way, does any one knows how to port a P6 theme (Emui 2.3) to this model? I tried it but I failed. I resized and changed all XHDPI folders to HDPI and didn't work.

lollipop update

Hi Guys,

first i am very much a beginner this is my first android phone was previously ios... Really impressed though at £35 from EE much more responsive than my iphone. I have managed to root the device using the method described by Dimspace but it seems to have Clockwork mod 6.0.5.1

so when i run ROM manager 5.5.3.7 to try and upgrade to lollipop using lollipop-rom dot org /mp3-0/huawei-ascend-y550-6676.html i get stuck at:-

4. Restart your device in the recovery mode using ROM Manager. As soon as in Recovery Mode, go to ROM Manager and select backup/restore to back-up your information.

The ROM manager is not there i am guessing because it expects Clockwork Mod 3, even if i try to flash with that in ROM manager it appears as 3.0.0.5 on reboot it goes back 6.0.5.1

am I doing something completely stupid?

[MENTION=4814653]patrik.KT[/MENTION], I have a question concerning the Battery Issues that some users complain about your cm11 test build.

Isn't it natural that the cm11 has less battery life than the stock ROM, since the cm11 uses the zram feature which compresses the RAM pages and therefore uses extra CPU resources?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgs640:
Pretty sure im bricked. At least as far as getting the stock rom back. Restoring stock cwm backup wont work, flashing system from fastboot results in error too large and putting dload folder with update.app on sdcard also fails. CM11 installs fine and im using it atm but want to return to stock. Help please?

I have a y550-L02
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppq-:
I "bricked" my Y550 several times, putting dload/UPDATE.APP and pressing all the buttons always worked like a charm. You sure you got the correct file?

Updating L02

Does anyone know how to update L02 to the latest update? I have TWRP installed and is unable to flash update.zip. Should I override it with CWM instead?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecaex:
Read the second post, how to flash the stock firmware.

I tell it anyways. Extract update.zip

Copy the 'dload' folder (within Update.app) to the root for your sdcard. Turn off device and press

Volume up + Volume down + Power Button to start the flashing procedure. After the update has finished you will have the newest firmware for your device. But keep in mind that flashing any stock firmware will restore the stock recovery and you will loose root!

So, after you updated you may install twrp again and root your phone ;)

Everything can be read in second post!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iChopstick:
That makes sense, but none of the L02 files contain Update.app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecaex:
There should be a file called xxxxsp01xxxx update fixed...

Within this file there should be the update.app

As I described above you copy the dload folder to your root of your sd card. But you can also try to install the update using the Update App from phone. Open Software Update or go to Settings->Updates

And choose Local update. This should work now
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iChopstick:
Searching the post for "SP01" shows nothing. If you mean B239SP01, that's L01 firmware. I'm fine with the instructions. The problem is just that I cannot find update.app in the three L02 related files in Dimspaces post. Gladly to be proven wrong, or maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaidone:
Y550-L02V100R001C346B247SP01_updated_fixed.zip call this archive.

Look link in my signature.

- But I don't know - what is inside those archives. If hecaex says - there is UPDATE.APP, then he knows that ;)

Edited: Just downloaded and can say - inside this archive no UPDATE.APP.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iChopstick:
Yea, that's what I was saying. The archive is one of the three L02 files I looked at, and does not contain UPDATE.APP. Likewise for the other L02 related files I can find.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaidone:
I never read about someone has UPDATE.APP for L02 phones. Those 3 files are all we have for now. With CWM Recovery i think all must go fine, isn't?

[MENTION=2904210]shahi[/MENTION] and klaidone

Only LTE would not make much sense because the phone uses LTE only for data. For calls it needs to switch down to WDCMA or GSM. This is normal for LTE phones, my Samsung did the same.

If you had LTE only you could not call or receive calls.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaidone:
You're right... And if I have not data connection, I can throw away my phone. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudolfm:
Here are some maybe useful things I found out while rooting:

If you install Hisuite then you'll find a folder called hwtools in /Programfiles/Hisuite. This folder contains all you need for fastboot. So you don't need to download the Slim SDK separately. Just copy that folder to a place where you have write permission. The folder also contains a nifty commandline version of 7z.

If you download the stock rom from the first link on Page 1 Thread Index (the 239 L01) the zip you get already contains the dload directory which you can copy to your SD card. It also contains a description how to force flash. So if you messed up or bricked your phone, that file is all you need. No update extractor needed.

Please just copy and paste the complete contents of the gps.conf file and post it in this thread, then we can check what has been changed.

I've tested my Y550 with an app to disable all wakelocks and a GPS Status app that were mentioned in several sites as fixing the problem, but both of them failed to stop it shutting off. Even though the Y550 still shut off the gps I noticed that running both of these apps together meant that it did actually restore connections after a few minutes, but this is still unsatisfactory when using the phone for navigation.

*I have also found modified gps.conf files in other forums and am waiting to test one now, but looking at it's contents I can't imagine it will work for stopping the gps from shutting off, although I'm sure it will help in getting a faster fix to the satellites.
