Just did the update. It went well, no problem, I'm yet to find any difference from the previous ones.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] steven ash:
Does the phone, with it's very large screen, still show LESS information than a smaller phone? C'mon, the software on this thing totally sucks. I have a giant screen with such ridiculous font spacing, meaning I get less information on my 6-inch screen than I can get on a 5-inch model such as a P6. What kind of sad joke is this?

Does the new software fix this problem? If not, I have a mint Mate 7 for sale, used only long enough to see Huawei has made no progress with their software.

[Ascend Mate 7 General] mirchichamu:
Thank you but this update is for Russia. I am also using the same version but when I click on updater, it gives me a message that no update available... May be they have released update for your region but not yet for us. Right now I am on B120 SP04.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] yukarlo:
I'm from the Philippines and I downloaded the B121 firmware from the link above and flashed it on my phone, I extracted and put the dload folder in my external SD card and did a local update via the updater under menu options, nothing was erased after except for root, so I rooted my phone again via CWM. :D

By the way, I also have the MT7-TL10 32gb/3gb version and did not get any updates from the updater, i was also in B120 SP04 before I flashed the B121.

[Ascend Mate 7 General] steven ash:
I'm running Chinese version MT7-TL10 V100 R001 CHN C00 B122 SP06 and could not "downgrade" to this international version. I just get an "update failed". Any ideas how to go back a step so I can get the international version?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] yukarlo:
Why do you want to downgrade? I was having some thought on updating my firmware to that of the Chinese version.

You can flash the firmware manually through adb, you'll need to extract the firmware. There are other threads in here that discusses about that.

My Italian Mt7 TL10 failed b121 update

I tried locL update, from recovery and by Hisuite

All failed, didnt even start
[Ascend Mate 7 General] steven ash:
I want to downgrade because the Chinese version has issues. I have owned many HW phones and running a Chinese load is always a PITA. I want a normal international load that does not perpetually harass me with Huawei store stuff, that does not provide its own broken Calendar and Mail app, and that lets me manage my SIM cards correctly since I need dual SIM support to work in a specific way.

Unfortunately, I read the instructions for installing an international load over top of a Chinese load. I don't want to root my device, have never rooted a device, don't know how, don't want to know how, etc. It seems I am stuck. Even if I changed my mind, the instructions are not newbie level, so I very much doubt I could follow instructions that are not step-by-step "press this", "type that", unless I devote a lot of research. I could buy a new phone for cheaper than the time I would invest in this.

Gimme instructions

I bought a russian version of the phone and after many times of ROM's flashing I ended up with chinise B122. Now I also want to migrate to European version and do not know how. It's not a problem for me to get a root and I also can try to dig dipper to figure out how to make the downgrade. Can you be so kind and provide me with a link for instructions you read, please, so I can try it myself. Thank you.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nobody Hates Firemen:
Hi

Phone: Samsung Galaxy GT-i9500 (International). Currently sitting on stock everything.

Years ago, I was able to successfully flash my Galaxy S2 with Cyanogenmod. I really don't know what else to try now with this S4.

Please bear with me. I know this question has been asked before but I've tried all the solutions that have been posted and I've also spent a lot of time trying other methods of rooting my phone with no success.

I started off following the instructions on wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9500 to install Cyanogenmod. I have also tried other instructions for using ODIN.

Things that have been posted as solutions that I've tried:

Plugging the phone in the back USB ports instead of front USB

Plugging the phone into different USB ports

Using a different USB cable

Both Heimdall 1.4RC2 and 1.4.0-win32

Tried the various combinations of upper/lowercase --recovery --RECOVERY etc

WinUSB, libusb0 and libusbk drivers provided by Heimdall's zadig.exe

Using Odin3 v1.85

Using Odin3 v3.07

Tried KingoApp

When I tried using KingoApp it sat for about half an hour running through various exploits and not succeeding. Then eventually it said that the final thing it could try was to reboot into Download mode. I let it do that and the phone got stuck in exactly the same place that Heimdall and ODIN gets stuck. Namely the screen shows the following but no blue bar ever appears or fills up:

I really don't know what else to try at this point. Can someone please give some suggestions or point in me in the right direction?

So what are you trying to do? Flash a recovery?

I see you are running Windows. Just use Odin for it or you can even use jOdin3 (web Odin).

https://builds.casual-dev.com/jodin3/

You don't need Kingoroot. It doesnt even work anymore anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nobody Hates Firemen:
Yeah I'm trying to flash Clockworkmod Recovery so that I can then install Cyanogenmod. So far every attempt to load CWM has failed because the process in download mode never begins.

I have tried Odin and it had the same problem as Heimdall. I previously used Heimdall to flash Cyanogenmod onto my Galaxy S2, which is why I tried it again for the S4. When that didn't work I tried Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Odin should work though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nobody Hates Firemen:
It doesn't though. I don't get any error message which makes this very difficult to investigate. It just doesn't start transferring the recovery.

I just tried using towelroot v3 and got a message, "This phone isn't currently supported" - even though Galaxy S4 is supposedly supported. I wonder if I have some weird variant model.

You are trying outdated root methods. The only root method that will work is cf-root, though you need to flash it. Are you running a virtual machine or something?

You should delete every driver related to the s4 from your pc and try from scratch.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nobody Hates Firemen:
CF-root worked, thank you! Used the one at download.chainfire.eu/326/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.zip?retrieve_file=1

I'm not running VM or anything. It frikken sucks that the instructions on Cyanogenmod aren't up to date :( And also sucks that every other site I went to with instructions doesn't mention that they're outdated root methods. The price of being a noob...

Thanks for showing me the way.

Try reverting any framework mods you have installed. If that doesn't work, try reflashing system.img using mfastboot in bootloader.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geronimous:
Softbricked my phone, by having it rooted with stock ICS, and applying some Samsung firmware upgrade. Boot would get stuck in logo, and was not able to get into recovery.

SO first I flashed a kernel with CWM together with the PIT file. Then upgraded CWM to the latest version with Kit-kat support, as I wanted to upgrade to Lollipop since I was already wiping my phone.

Everyhting flashed ok, but I was not able to get it to format to default. Windows 8.1 also could not see both internal and external SD cards. I did get the 'device connected/disconnected' sounds.

Decided to try and format to Ext4, and that worked. SD mounted and was formatted, was recognised in Windows and could finally install the ROM and GAPPS :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
You can use a smaller version of gapps if you want (micro or nano pa gapps). However, if it works fine, there is no need to worry. Since apps will be installed in the data partition anyway, the problem with the system partition space can be ignored.

I'm trying to flash the 4GB split pit file through Odin but it just doesn't seem to change the system size. I've tried with different odin versions, different .pit files, flashing with .tar kernels and roms, nothing works, the system, data and usb stays the same. Just to mention, I have already done this before and flashed a 3gb pit which worked. I tried to change it into 4gb instead as I was running out of space and it somehow it doesn't work now. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the guide!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Well if you're upgrading android versions, the kernel has to be changed anyway. Kernels are android version dependent and vice versa. Your phone will not boot with the wrong version of kernel. Just follow my guide carefully and you should be fine. In odin, PDA is the one you want to flash the kernel .tar file in. And for the pit, it's pretty self explanatory (there's a separate option to select pit file).

It's very important to use odin with both PDA and PIT files selected, otherwise you can get your phone bricked.

Also don't use preload PITs - it bricks your phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
It's because of Lollipop. Lollipop seems to not like modified partitions on our phone, even though it is needed for our phone to hold enough apps. If downgrade is possible, I would highly advise doing this. However this means you have to reinstall your apps again. If you are against downgrading, try different LP rom.

Hey,

I got a problem but I´m not sure if anyone posted this issue before. (I´m really new here and I´ve already looked for it in the discussion and q&a thread, but found nothing). I apologize if I do something wrong.

I went through all the steps in the description and it worked. (CM 12.1, Gustavo Kernel (cm12.1-kernel-22-06-for-ODIN.tar), 515MB system partition with 6GB data partition, and I got an additional 32GB micro sd card) But when I started my phone and looked in settings/storage there was only the data partition with 6GB and my 32GB sd card. I didn´t found my internal storage.

And when I tried to move Whatsapp to my sd card, it says: "not sufficient storage", and when I try to download a picture from Whatsapp, it says:" error, there does not exist an internal storage. Please deactive it as external drive".

After that, I did the hole partition thing again, but it´s still the same.

SD card problems possible solution

to all who have problems with 5.1 (CM12.1) and sd cards, I also had alot of problems and tried various SD card fixes (scripts to mount sd cards / change mounting points) etc. Nothing worked.

I then went back based on a comment at page 2 or 3 and went through the whole procedure again with my external SD card in the phone. Then whilst still in the CWM recovery of Gustavo's LP kernel, I formatted the internal sdcard0 to ext 4 and then mounted it using the mount command in CWM. I then formatted sdcard1 (default this time) and then mounted it via the mount command in CWM. I think I might have had to mount the sdcard0 again but after that I flashed CM12.1 (having first following the step to format data, cache and system) and GAPPS mini and both my internal SD card (sdcard0) and my external SD card work perfectly!! Camera recognises for first time the internal sd card and I can move apps to sdcard0 (internal sd card).

Key thing I think is to get the Gustavo kernel with CWM. You could also try flashing a CWM in your current recovery and doing the same thing of formatting and mounting both sdcard0 and sdcard1. This was done on a Samsung Galaxy S2 i-9100.

Hope this helps some people.
