Nope...Surdu told me that we don't need f2fs recovery because the twrp he peronally use to flash his builds doesn't support f2fs.

The main problem with you guys phone his probably the system partition being too low!

The main problem with my Y635 is the kernel upgrade issue. I have no idea why 3.10.28 kernels works while 3.10.49 or higher won't work -_-

The system partition on y550 its 1.2gb i thing its enough for any android build
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nonta72:
Someone said that recovery complaint about memory problem when tried to install cm12.1.

Y550 = Y635 with lower screen size and lower internal. There's no sense that cm12.1 installs on Y635 but not Y550. Check closely what you did in updater-script.

This will make CM12.1 Images flashable through TWRP. And the partitions are now fixed

in order to make a running system.

Is that mean that cm12 its allready boot on our device? With the current recovery without f2fs support?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecaex:
Yes this will fix the flash problem within TWRP. I also made a new TWRP to fix some bugs. All the time we couldn't flash any cm12.1 ROM was because the system image size doesn't fit to our device. So that means we can't flash ROMs from the Y635 or G620s as both has 8GB internal memory and the Y550 only 4GB! I need to do some testing you will see some builds soon.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas_VDV:
Zayn dont press all buttons : try power and volume up ( or down ) one should bring you in recovery and the other one in fastboot

In recovey try doing a factory reset ( if you havent already done that)

And otherwise make sure ur bootloader is unlocked and then flash a custom recovery ( instructions on the index page)

Then flash a custom rom or the stock one , wich one u prefer

Hope this helped

I everyone,

I have opened a similar thread to this for Y635 here http://xdaforums.com/android/development/huawei-y635-development-t3294138

Both devices are almost the same but the memory different isn't mainstream! Thus, that makes original development a bit different.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcpillager:
Hi all,

Just a quick question about Y550 and apologies in advance if this has been asked before,

Does anybody know why the device does not take advantage of a 32gb sd card to install apps, store cache or temp files etc? With the exception of photos and other files manually stored in the sd card, the phone complains about lack of space when its 4gb are full but the sd card still has lots of unused space. Is there any way device/android can be instructed to use the sd card as the primary, default storage location?

TIA,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turkey_shoot:
I believe this problem comes from permissions in Kitkat which do not normally allow writing to SD.

You need to root the phone.

Then install link2SD or similar app, create EXT partition on SD card, and set link2SD to automatically move apps and files to the EXT partition on SD card.

I don't think it can be done without root.

I didn't notice that distinction in the original question, which said "With the exception of photos and other files manually stored in the sd card". so you are right.. it's the automatic stuff that isn't going to the right place, and that is easily fixed.

I have the same "issue" in my device, but you can keep calm: if you had put the SD card as default storage, when you install any app with aditional cache (mainly games), if you put the data in the SD card, the phone will load from there, instead of the internal storage.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turkey_shoot:
Keep trying with the DIY method mentioned earlier - the one where you use the product ID generator then use that on the Huawei unlock sites. Try a different browser, different IP address (eg on your phone or someone else's house). Remember you need to tell the ID generator and the unlock site you have Huawei Y300 (I didn't read that properly myself first time).

We have three Y550s in our household now (makes it easy for tech support!). The first bootloader unlocked straight away, second didn't work at all (so far), the third wouldn't work after many tries on the web sites mentioned - then suddenly did once for no apparent reason. :victory:

If your serial numbers don't match on box and phone you could try to bringing it back to the store. Or just give them some other excuse - say the screen is "intermittently" faulty, you want to exchange. Try a few stores until you get someone agreeable!

BTW I never got any response from Huawei either after several emails.

I'll try to give you a hand if I can.

I have two Aussie Vodafone Y550-L02 phones and I only wanted to root one of them and the on-line unlock method worked a treat.

To confirm that the method I linked to in a previous post still worked I just entered in all the info for my second unlocked phone to get the bootloader unlock code and it came up with the unlock code as easily as the first one did.

So assuming you are willing to let me have a go at helping you, if you send me the necessary information for your device I'll try to work out the unlock code for you. I can assure you that I'm only making this offer out of kindness to help, not for any dodgy reason...

If your serial number is not causing problems as you mentioned, then I can work out the code in just a few minutes.

I'll need the following info...

Serial Number: Q9J7N14A24123456

It should look something like the one above.

Send me both the (S/N) serial number from the box, and more importantly the (S/N) one on the label under the battery.

IMEI: get this from the label under the battery

Product ID: 52331234

it should look similar to the above. To get this dial * # * # 1357946 # * # * and it will show on your display

It might be wise for you to send me this info in a private message, rather than posting it here in the thread ;)

Welcome to the Y550 club..!!

Fingers crossed, but you might be waiting a while for a Lollipop ROM, the Y550 comes with the most recent version of KK so there is less urgency for dev's to push out a new ROM for it, combine this with the fact that it's not going to be a massively popular or trendy model we might be waiting quite a while. But that's fine, it works great as it is so no big rush.

Having a 64bit system would not be too impressive without 64bit apps, and it's still very early days for those so I probably wouldn't get too excited about that either.

In the mean time you could try to assist in the search for a download link to the original stock ROM of the Y550-L02 model.

I've failed to find one yet, and if you want to install custom ROM's you may well need a backup of the original stock ROM if things go wrong.

All the links I've found so far are for the Y550-L01 model which has different 3G and 4G bands to ours, so flashing that might not be a very clever idea.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparkrite:
Maybe a daft question, but why is it so important if before you experiment with new roms, you use TWRP or CWM to make a full backup of the phone?
