so I have been back on cm11 and decided to go back to stock, again a no go, same error as above tried all known versions i have found.

The only I could get back was with my backup. I have noticed on the stock update app my version is showing Y550-L01V100R001C440B240 Maybe this is why I could not do the force restore

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idexample:
Hi,

I would warn everyone of the L02 and L03 software version that I found weeks ago in Huawei website , they sell 3 Y550 versions for 3 different continents where are used different frequencies, if there is also a different software is something minimal mostly due to carrier customisation .

If you want L02 or L03 be assured that the working frequencies include those of your sim network .

I am not sure if is simply a software setting that modify the radio transmission frequencies or if Huawei bild 3 different phones for different countries .

Let me know what is your experience .

As soon as I find again that website , I will post the screenshots.

Our device is very popular and I believe we will have also Lollipop, unless Huawei will add great features with EMUI still on kitkat .

A lot of Chinese phone companies didn't have jelly beans 4.3.1 only 4.2.2 then straight to 4.4.4.

Here in UK was for long time available for 29 pounds on upgrade from old customers or new at 35 ? now back to 69£ but before being replaced I believe will be discounted again.

I believe some of you may find useful the tutorial for the Y300 I read on Modaco site.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turkey_shoot:
I think probably yes. (sorry!)

The lollipop rom is almost certainly fake / malware / not a rom at all. This phone is new, and hasn't even had custom KK roms built yet (I can't find any).

Also, ROM manager just reboots the phone into whatever recovery is installed. You could just do that manually with the vol-up and power button combination, . Get your rom links from reputable places (like xda, modaco, android-hilfe, etc).

I suggest you avoid that supposed lollipop "rom" and enjoy your phone as it is for now, i.e. still working!

Huawei y550 720p resolution enabled

ALL APPS CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM PLAY STORE, DO NOT SET PATTERN LOCK OR ANY OTHER LOCK OTHER THAN SWIPE TO UNLOCK (HUAWEI LOCK) ONCE YOU HAVE CHANGED RESOLUTION AT ANY TIME, IT WILL BREAK YOUR PHONE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO FLASH SYSTEM IMAGE VIA FASTBOOT :( REMEMBER HUAWEI LOCK ONLY PLS

Hi guys I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I have achieved 7020p & 1080p resolution on Huawei Y550, I would advise 720p over 1080p as it is alot clearer on this little screen and you also have to install on- screen soft keys because when you change the resolution the built-in soft keys stop working, you must have root AND INSTALL JRUMMY BUSYBOX and can only use these programs, Ultimate Dynamic Navbar Lite by Pavel Silkun to add soft keys you must unblock in phone manager - settings -dropzone management ,and in UDN Lite ,switch the app on and then go to general and set method to activate to swipe, now when you swipe upwards from the left bottom corner your nav bar will pop up, now install Resolution Changer Pro by Nexter and open and click ok three times then click enable and then change Width to 720 and Height to 1280, now go to app manager and clear caches and then reboot to recovery then wipe dalvik cache and reboot and now you have 720p, on initial boot up you have to wait for apps to load but it works and always starts looking like its not working but just give it a minute and it will work, hope you have fun, now we just need cpu overlock :victory:

UPDATE

I have had to go back to stock resolution because the phone.apk no longer works at 720p if anyone knows enough to fix it please help,then we will have a 720p phone, everything else works though give it a try

ALL APPS CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM PLAY STORE, DO NOT SET PATTERN LOCK OR ANY OTHER LOCK OTHER THAN SWIPE TO UNLOCK (HUAWEI LOCK) ONCE YOU HAVE CHANGED RESOLUTION AT ANY TIME, IT WILL BREAK YOUR PHONE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO FLASH SYSTEM IMAGE VIA FASTBOOT :( REMEMBER HUAWEI LOCK ONLY PLS

Problem installing ROM

Hi, at first thank you very much for all the help provided in this forum.

I am in serious trouble, I bought my Huawei Y550 in Switzerland and now I am in Bolivia and I gave the phone to a guy to unlock the sim. Unfortunately, however, he did not only unlock it if not delete the whole Android System. So now I have got a phone without operation system.

As you can imagine, I followed the instructions in this thread and succeeded in rooting the device and now I am trying to install the Android system but without success. I tried to put the original ROM as Dload folder on the SD Card (already formattted into FAt32) and then I tried to inicite the update but I get a file error with the update.app . Since I installed the CWM, I tried to install the .zip file from the CWM but it won´t allow me. So, as the last option, I tried to flash the .zip file from the adb_utility but it won´t let me neither.

So what else can I try, or what is it that I am doing wrong? I would highly appreciate your help since I need the device for work purposes and until now I haven´t found anybody here that is able to fix the problem and I am quite a noob in tecnical things.. Thank you very much!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecaex:
The ONLY way to reflash your system is to flash it using the phone built-in flasher.

As already mentioned put the update.app in a 'dload' folder in the root directory of your SD card. Turn off your phone and press Power+Volume up+Volume Down simultaneously. I did that already more then 3 times and it's working perfect!

This will start the flash operation immediately. After its done your phone should work like before.

program to easily root Huawei ascend y550

Hi! I'd like to root my Huawei 550 but the steps are intimidating for a non-techy person like me. I'm afraid to brick my phone. I will just wait until there's a software like root genius or whatever where all the steps are done in a click. Hope to be informed when that time comes....

Actually all I want to do is to increase the internal storage (only 2Gb) which is fast decreasing because of the many programs that came with it cannot be uninstalled nor transferred to the external storage. I found that it's possible to exchange the external with the internal storage but the phone needs to be rooted and I get stuck with this 1st stage.

I cant decode how huawei sets it, but I will add a sysfs entry into prima source code so that it can be manually set if needed (for users with filtered network, etc.). Ill provide an app for easier mac settings, as cmhw does not provide option to enter custom value to a sysfs entry. When this is done, and since camera works now, Ill work on the 64bit kernel again.
