Yes, take a good rest and don't rush when flash phone.

Glad you have both vanilla and CC version phone. So you can do many testing with that. And thanks a lot for taking all the risk about that.

So, saw you mentioned you CC phone already kinds of in mixed state. But still, before you want to mess anything further, just recommend that you should do a dd (disk dump) of all partitions if possible.

This involved using command line (like adb shell).

if you look at the 1st post of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/general/request-cwm-twrp-customer-recovery-t2868933

Basically, /dev/block/mmcblk0p?? has all the partitions of the phone, and ideally you should dd all of them to sdcard, then copy out to your PC as backup.

The cmd line is like:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p19.img

This phone has some weird things like after su to root, some partition got unmounted or become read-only, but it can be resolved by mount/remount.

Let us know your progress and still, don't rush, take backup (and notes), and play safe. :)

Thanks.

Is it possible to change the build prop allow hotspot if I don't want to take a chance on flashing 148 on this? I have ATT with mobile share and need access to the hotspot function if it can be activated on the cc version. I have it unlocked and rooted.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] oncouch1:
One of the many cc threads has some lines to add to build.prop and elsewhere to get it going if I find it I will link it. I just got one for wifey, she doesn't need it but...

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kostyan_nsk:
Hmm. Maybe in this case we were should just to mount partition with imei...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
This is not related to zero IMEI issue. Just double checked, after su, the sdcard will not shown as mounted in that terminal or adb session only. Other app can still access sdcard fine.

So, when dd is used, we need to mount sdcard manually.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kostyan_nsk:
I'm not talking about sdcard. I'm talking about partition with IMEI (see the picture below).

mmcblk0p12 is 'modemnvm2' partition in my device.

I have noticed that '/mnvm2:0' directory was empty until I have mounted partition once and now it's always mounted when I switch device on. So maybe just there was not mounted partition after update and that was the reason of zeroed IMEI.

I beg you experts to help flash the factory ROM into the CC variant!

The CC will be useless if we can't flash, for the OTA Lollipop update (CC won't release it).
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] afbcamaro:
Wow this is embarazing... you know when you have done something many times before and you are over confident.. lesson learned is dont dev when you are on 30 plus hours of no sleep. i just read what i was posting in this thread and it was moronic. i never backed up partitions. never mapped the device. nothing... What i was doing was so easy but when your brain is damaged... lol

No sleep is like being very drunk. im never doing that again.

so which ones are the right steps to flash b148 update on consumer cellular??

How to??
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] resansid:
We need to bring this thread back to life as the Huawei announced the Android "L" update for the stock version.

I have the CC version and would like to make it the unlocked huawei OEM version so I can get the "L" OTA update.

All the steps explained above are still complicated. Is there an easier way to flash the stock rom without going through cumbersome partition manipulations? Please advise? Thanks
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
There're not complicated. There're just ambiguous! Everyone just writing this and that.

CAN ANYONE WHO HAS SUCCESSFULLY CONVERTED HIS CC HAM2 WRITE UNEQUIVOCALLY THE STEPS NEEDED SO THAT PEOPLE WILL STOP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN ??

Thanks.

Unadulterated instructions

Will someone who has flashed stock ROM on a Consumer Cellular Ascend Mate 2 please post a youtube showing how to do it?

I saw this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/development/post-twrp-recovery-folders-t2923406

So we have twrp backups of the OEM rom....how to?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
There's no need for any youtube video. I've already flashed mine. I used the zip file provided by xordos. Here's the page where I described what I did: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59127346&postcount=33.

In a nutshell:

1. Make a full TWRP backup of your HAM2 (in case of incasities)

2. Backup the entire cust folder located in the root of your device (/CUST). You either use a file manager with root access or use adb.

3. Install the zip file provided by xordos (also found in the thread with the url above)

4. When the phone loads, restore the CUST folder

Note in my case, the facebook app was not installed and so I had to delete it from the CUST folder. That was the only thing I noticed didn't install.

Still a no go for me at least

I flashed my CC with MT2L03_B148_Stock_ROM.zip from http://tinyurl.com/q62m68x according to the posting http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/development/howto-fix-soft-bricked-phone-using-twrp-t2886630 but when I booted it, it still showed the Consumer Cellular screen and then a pulsing android screen. Once it came up, didn't have the default launcher etc on it, rather it was still configured like I had it before I flashed it. I know the flash took since the pulsing android screen....

Did I flash the wrong zip?

Thanks,

Harris
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
1. The CC Flashscreen you got should be done manually. I've long since changed mine. There's a thread somewhere which shows how to change it.

2. The zip file you flashed only changes the files in the system partition. It did not overwrite your data. That's why your configurations didn't change. You can format the data and cache partitions in TWRP if you want a clean system.

3. Make sure you restore you CUST Folder.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tdamocles:
What is the reason to change the CUST Folder? I flashed MT2L03_B148_Stock_ROM.zip. Is this the correct zip? I wiped data. system, cache, and dalvik before flashing.

By the way, I flashed from CC 147 firmware if that means anything. Replaced the Cust folder but I don't have any toggles on the notification pulldown.

Hello.... I'm starting this thread to set up a bounty for a working device tree.. For the sprint note 4..I am lacking in time to create one myself but have all the experience and ability to use it... So figured I'd offer a bounty to anyone willing to create us a working device tree to use to build Roms from source.... What I'm wanting is a tree that I can build cm and aosp based Roms from.... I'm not asking for Roms I'm asking for a tree that works that I can use to build the Roms myself as well as others.....

If interested in chipping in please list the amount and I'll add your name to the list..... Please Only people who are actually going to donate when/if the time comes ..

Thanks

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] fattire:
I understand the intention here, but I've always found that bounties immediately move work into closed repos, discourages collaboration, and raises questions about who gets the $ if for example, someone gets it 99% there but someone else jumps in for the last step. Will the bounty be split among all collaborators? Will you award the authors of any device repo you fork from? (It's turtles all the way down)

If you want development in the open and people helping each other to get your goal, consider not having a bounty as it's almost never the primary motivator for this kind of work... And often works against what you want. I can tell you personally... My experience with the nook tablet and bounties from a company that wanted to sell the port was pathetic. People were constantly hitting me up on irc and in PM for help, and stealing each others work, and making tiny changes to claim the bounty. Go back and read the forums for acclaim...

Or, look up what happened with the HP Touchpad, which is even more egregious... That fiasco made it to the blogosphere... But the code was flat out stolen and the irc logs pretty jaw dropping.

This is a MUCH smaller project, but still...

[MENTION=3041959]fattire[/MENTION]

I do understand where you are coming from...these bounties most always end badly where someone does exactly as you described but let me try to ease some of your doubts....

What I'm looking for is for a person or team to step forward... Then after a discussion with them I'll add their name to the op as being the person doing the task.... Now no matter who else jumps in or steals code the money will only go to the person or team that I've talked with and is listed in the op..... So far as money split.... I would... during our discussion prior to having someone accept the task... And listing them as accepting the project talk this over and have it all mapped out as who gets what. What I'm expecting... What they're expecting.. The whole nines... Now these type of situations have a tendency of folks saying I'll donate then don't... If that were to be the case I'll donate the full amount myself... To address the closed repo.... I have a github account and have had one for years as well as being an XDA member for ages.... With a very good reputation.... My account on github is open and always will be... The idea here is to have a source for the public not just me...I have no intention on making anything private or closed source...... My only intentions are too get a device tree that we can use to build cm and aosp based roms from source... The idea of the bounty is solely to draw attention and offer a incentive to someone who is interested, willing, and able to provide us with the tree... I hope I've cleared up at least a little of your worries/doubts....And to be perfectly honest ...I hope that you and slayher accept the task... If you need to further discuss anything please feel free to contact me...I have several ways of doing so listed in my profile but I'll go ahead and list my hangouts info... Spleef79@gmail.com

Basically, the phone was rooted and unlocked and I was installing cyanogenmod on it which failed and I deleted the system folder instead of doing a factory reset on it. It does not get past the HTC screen and I have attempted to flash zip files after attempting relocking and rebootRUU, which have all failed.. I have also tried the .exe RUU files. I am also feeling like there is a definite driver issue, since my computer used to show My HTC in the device manager and now it shows it in "other devices" as "One" and seems to be showing up as a disc drive. There honestly is not much that I can think of at the moment that I have not tried to get this going, youtube videos, hours of looking for similar issues, messing with things on my own to see if there is ANYTHING to do and nothing has worked. I am assuming that it has something to do with it being S-ON, but I have tried to change that with revone and it wouldn't flash through USB.

hmm, maybe "sub-pixels" is a poor choice of word... it's more like the spacing between the pixels i'm seeing. and i loaded up a 4k video and it looked odd. i'll need to try it again using the 'void theater' rather than the other ones since it's the "largest" screen.

2D movies don't need to be larger than 720p as that is the highest resolution you can see on the screen in the Oculus cinema. Everything higher just burns unnecessary battery life.

Hey guys, for some reason my cell service has gone out, but I don't know how. I've never had an issue with the cell service on any ROM that I've tried. I'm currently running the D851 CM12 ROM, and I had service this morning and into the afternoon. However, late this afternoon(and currently)it's been very windy here today, so maybe that's the problem? I can't tell if there's a T-mobile outage in this area, or if it's a SIM problem, a ROM problem etc. I've tried toggling the airplane mode, rebooting, different APN, and even flashing different ROMs, but the service won't come back.
