Hi,

I managed to install B609 over a Vodafone (Romania) cust firmware. Before i installed B609 from B133 with some errors: Huawei_Cust_Failed etc, Defect reminder raport was present in Notifications, Motion Control did not work

Latest version from Vodafone Romania was B129 with some bugs and battery drain verry fast; memory load for standbay was aprox 70% etc

I have fund a easy metod to update to full version of B609 without errors, huawei_cust_failed, and surprise :) Motion Control is working

Please follow this steps:

1. Update to B133 by Local Update -> dload -> update.app (Download form here)

2. Flash this Update to modify your Cust Version and then you cand flash a stock firmware without problems (Local Update -> dload -> update.app) (Download form here)

3. Update now to B609 (full version) by Local Update (Local Update -> dload -> update.app) (Download form here)

*3: ATENTION: do NOT try upgrade to B609 if u dont have at least B133!!!

4. After update please check if Motion Control is working and perform a Factory Reset

5. Enjoy!

PS: if you are already to B609 and you have that errors (cust failed, motion control, etc) you must rollback/downgrade to B133

For this, you must make a backup for data, format card, create a dload folder, copy inside the update.app from pct 1

Force update by power off the phone, and keep press Vol Buttons (both) and Power until you see the Recovery menu

Or follow http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/reverting-emui-3-0-to-2-3-t2934277/page2

PS2: if you whant to go back to you Vodafone orginal Firmware, please search for Hungary Huawei support and download B129 from there or u can try here

;)

Update from B135 Israel

Please tell me, if I'm on B135 Israel can I go from step 2 or should I downgrade to B133 and follow the guide from the first step ?

BTW, the link posted on step 1 is death.

Thanks

I'm on VDF RO and already have B609 with the above mentioned bugs except the motion control which I fixed it by copying hw_motion_config.xml to /data/cust/xml.

Anyway, will your version work if I update it over my B609?
[Huawei Ascend P7] gaugen:
if u have a custom room (brand versionof android from vodafone, telekom etc) please follow this steps. maybe for a phone who doesen`t have a cust room from an operator will work without stepts 1 and 2 but i don`t guarantee

first u must roll back to B133 (stept 1), and flash the Cust Version from step 2. that cust version from step 2 allow u to flash B609 without errors.
[Huawei Ascend P7] klaudyuxxx:
Will a simple flash of B133 over B609 do the trick (rollback)?

le: sorry, didn't pay much attention to what you wrote in "PS"... Still, will a force update work?

The B133 link is down :( Can I use any B133, or does it have to be a special one?
[Huawei Ascend P7] kadajawi:
Wait a minute. The CUST fix does a factory reset? It might be valuable information to some... what is worse is that it completely erases the internal memory. Including photos and everything else (my Xiaomi Mi3 doesn't do that, my Galaxy Nexus doesn't...). I did a Titanium Backup before doing the updates, but didn't move all the files to the PC (same with photos). Now everything is gone.

Thank you, Huawei! There was no warning, nowhere, that this would happen, and it is not normal behavior for Android... (from my experience at least).
[Huawei Ascend P7] alumen:
Update the link pls

Where to download B133 (tested and working version, i don't want to brick my phone)?
[Huawei Ascend P7] mbert:
What exactly is this update you used in step 2? The update.app is just about 18K und if I open with huwei update extractor I see no cust.img. There are only crc.img, curver.img, efi.img, md5rsa.img, vendor.img and verlist.img.

Where is that file from and what does it?

Blatant admission from HTC employee:

Does this mean everything else except overheating numbers from tweakers.net is accurate? All that they did was remove the throttling exception according to him. No kernel optimizations like people were hoping for.

It could certainly explain the drop in single-core and multi-core performance on geekbench.

[Sony Xperia E1] DanDare_77:
This is how I rooted my Xperia E1 Dual (C2104).

Steps sounds obvious but it was the simpler I got after searching for solutions on the net so maybe usefull for someone (also only possible by K4sh work in offering CWM versions for E1: CWM for E1. Thanks!)

These steps are intended only for the specified models/firmware:

-Xperia E1 D2005 20.1.A.0.47

-Xperia E1 D2105 20.1.B.2.15

-Xperia E1 Dual TV D2114 20.1.B.0.65

My phone is D2104 20.1.B.2.15 but it worked. (D2104 x D2105 difference is the baseband: D2104 / D2105 difference

You will need:

1- A unlocked bootloader: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

2- Download and install the matching CWM custom recovery against your model/firmware version: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-e1/general/philz-touch-recovery-xperia-e1-t2941831 using flashtool

3- Boot into CWM recovery, tap 'Power Options' then 'Power Off'. CWM will say you don't have root. Tap 'install root'.

4- Boot again into recovery and choose to power off. If it doesn't warn about missing root so it's done.

5- Download and install SuperSu from Google Play. After you run it for the first time it will say that it needs to install SuperSu binaries. Choose 'OK' and choose SuperSu to reboot device in CWM mode.

6- SuperSu will reboot, install binaries and reboot again into normal system. Enjoy root!

After doing this the CWM keeps working as usual.

This method just uses necessary root files already living in the CWM install (probably).

Nice tutorial, thanks!
[Sony Xperia E1] CroNoob:
mine is D2005 and current version is 20.1.A.2.14 does this work on it? and if anyone else tried please post here your confirmation
[Sony Xperia E1] DanDare_77:
Most probably is that it will not work uploading a boot image compiled from a different firmware version.

Anyway you can try if you like. For _what_ I_ understand_ worst that can happen is phone not booting into Android but you can revert it uploading the original boot/kernel image considering its some D2005 image after all. Either case is you assuming any risk :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
I recently moved into a new ‘cell phone death trap’ apartment (apt).

I’ve seen my phone connect, I’m guessing; connect to four different cell towers from my apt. I’ve sat and watched it go from 2 bar E, disconnect, to 1 bar G, disconnect, to no bars 3G, disconnect, and so on….

But here’s the clincher…

Sometimes it will also connect to a full strength edge network, but it indicates it’s roaming by the Triangle icon. Now if I’m on that ‘Triangle” network, my phone works great, meaning I actually can make and receive calls!

But, I’m guessing again, because it shows it is roaming; it also does not like to stay connected to this network. Actually it prefers to switch itself back onto a weak edge network without any signal.

My phone battery doesn’t last more than five hours, NOT TALKING, just in standby because it is constantly switching towers.

At this point I want to throw my Hermes out a window! But I know that wont do any good, because anyone else who come to my apt and has AT&T/Cingular gets the same results.

So here’s my question:

“Can I force my phone to stay on a particular cell tower?”

If so, I love you….
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] weinson:
you should re-post over in this thread Daniel's software might be able to solve your problem (or Daniel might have other ideas).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
thank you for the suggestion. i tried that and he said, "Sorry nop. It isnt the pourpose of cmp or bs...."
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ach2:
I don't think you can force to a specific tower but you can force to a particular provider:

START/SETTINGS/PHONE/NETWORK/MANUAL

and also select whether you want to force GSM/WCDMA and the GSM/UNTS band:

START/SETTINGS/PHONE/BAND

Maybe by going this route you can lock onto a reasonable signal.

2 other alternatives... Sell the appartment... Buy a landline and donate the Hermes to me :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
Are you able to change networks?

Are you able to ask your service provider the location of the towers and if they're planning either any upgrades or any more in the area?

If not you may wish to consider the first point, changing service providers.

I know what a pain it can be to have little or no service when needed. Personally, here in the UK, I'm on Orange. Where I lived in Wales it was either Orange or Vodafone that has a decent signal. When I'm out and about with work those are the two popular towers with o2 creeping up and some others too, but for the most part those are the strongest.

I don't, I'm sorry, have any better advice for you. Apart from leave your Hermes on charge when you're home near a window (safely) and carry a bluetooth earpeice around instead :D :D Good Luck with your Valiant Quest :D :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
i went to that tab and all i have is a Find Network button, which does nothing...no manual option

I've tried this method as well and it does not help. apparently both the good and the band networks all fall under GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100). The other two band options never find a network.

I'll consider it....thank you for your suggestions, I REALLY APPERCIATE ANYONES (constructive) FEEDBACK.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortuantly im locked in a 2yr contract, thats how ****ty american cell phone companies do things. Plus, the better providers in the area dont use SIM cards (ie. Sprint/Verizon), so that would mean bye bye Hermes. :(

Ill will go by the Cingular store and ask about the possible service upgrade, but those fools dont really know whats what, thats why im on xda-dev!

I like the bluetooth idea, ill try find a "sweet spot" in the apt and try that method. Thanks again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
"I have dream..."

My idea just seems possible, however i cant program so who am i too.....

The idea of having blocked cell id numbers. If i could FieldTest or somehow extract the cell ids from the towers i dont want, then create a file that the phone checks against before joining a tower.....

I dont know, just a dream i suppose...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danielherrero:
In both cases (roaming and not) are you registered in same operator?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lancealot:
If you're having a difficult time maintaining solid cellular reception, you might want to consider buying an external antenna. Refer to my post here regarding an antenna that can be purchased from Radio Shack. The antenna is now on clearance for $20 and the pigtail is $10. This may or may not help depending upon your location in relation to the towers, but if you try it out, let me know how it works.

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
Yeah, I'm on an 18 month contract... But I'm about 8 months in now ;)

You might even be able to get bluetooth repeaters once you find your, ahem, sweet spot :D :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
i believe so. the only reason i think it's roaming is because of the Triangle icon. But my SIM is only authorized for one operator, Cingular.

is there a better way to check?

Thank you very much Daniel!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
i would be willing to try those products but i believe they're now fully discontinued. Either of those item numbers from your post no longer exsist.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lancealot:
No problem

Call your closest Radio Shack and ask if they have either of those catalog numbers in stock. Worst case scenario is that they won't, however they can check the districts perpetual stock and see how many are available, and if you ask nicely, they can have the antenna and pigtail shipped to their store so you don't have to run all over creation just to get it.

...An even worst case scenario would be if you didn't live in the US or didn't have any Radio Shacks close by.. however I might know of someone who could use their employee discount to cover shipping costs ;) Let me know if you have any questions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tony.wheeler:
Taze,

I would also recommend that you try one of Daniel's applications - he is working on Comm Manager Pro but I think that Bandswitch will probably help you. I find similar problems to those you describe at work here in the UK with T-Mobile and my battery would often run low even during a day at work. The problem appears to have been caused by the Vario II (Hermes) spending all day jumping back and forward between networks whilst hunting for the best signal. Although the Bandswitch application (very small footprint) will not increase the signal you may find that forcing the phone to operate in a particular band helps - this is very easily achieved via the Bandswitch interface rather than going into settings each time. I now regularly switch to GSM each day when I get to work and it has solved my battery run-down issue completely!

Comm Manager Pro does much the same and more. It allows you to define a location (according to Cell ID and LAC Code) from which you can set the CMP application to (amongst other functions) switch to a particular band - or even turn the phone off).

Given what you have said this may not help but I would certainly give it a go. Good luck.

Regards
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
im going to try bandswitch today and see how it works. thank you for the suggestion!

i wish daniel could add the feature of blocked, preferred, of locked Cell ID's. that would be worth a good amount of money to me....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danielherrero:
Hi.

I would like to help you.... I can detect cells and lac but I cant force radio hardware to attach on a particular cell. This a task for Radio ROM. The only posibility (maybe) would be if the operator names are diferent. Could you go to settings a search for operators? Maybe your operator has different name in roaming than non roaming. In that case It would be easy to help you....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
Oooo if FieldTest were a controllable application....

Ok what I’ve discovered so far after watching FieldTest for about an hour.

The Good Connection -

LAC 0020

MNC/MCC 31017

NCELL INFO1 700-80 dbm <---- (at least four out of six NCELL maintain a steady 700-80dbm, often all six NCELL)

NCELL INFO2 700-80 dbm

NCELL INFO3 700-80 dbm

NCELL INFO4 700-80 dbm

NCELL INFO5 700-80 dbm

NCELL INFO6 700-80 dbm

BAND 2:PCS

CHANNEL 1:CCCH (stays, doesn’t change)

The Bad Connection

LAC d6ef

MNC/MCC 31380

NCELL INFO1 140-100 dbm

NCELL INFO2 140-100 dbm <---- (i get two NCELL at the most 140 each, rarely four NCELL, never more)

NCELL INFO3 0

NCELL INFO4 0

NCELL INFO5 0

NCELL INFO6 0

BAND 3:850 (once I saw it switch to PCS on this same MNC)

CHANNEL 1:CCCH/0:BCCH/255<UNKNOWN> (switches between these quite frequently)

So what I’ve interpreted from all that is.

Well I’ve confirmed my ****ty connection. Even though the phone often shows two bars, I can’t make or receive calls. Based on the NCELL db numbers and the constant channel changing, that **** just don’t work.

Most importantly, the phone is always trying to switch to the highest possible band. Because PCS is a lower band than GSM 850, my phone won’t stay on the PCS connection.

O yes, another discovery is, in WM6, if you are connected to a PCS band network, it displays the Triangle icon as if you are roaming but in fact it is not roaming.

So Daniel since you seem to be the best chance for a better life [for my Hermes]:

I need a way to force band selection beyond just GSM and UMTS.

I tried BandSwitch and it does not work for me because all my available connections fall under GSM.

And even beyond that I’d like to be able to force MNC’s, as I believe they are the specific network number.

Or can I block a LAC?

In settings, I only have one operator, Cingular, “Home of the most dropped calls.”
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danielherrero:
Hi.

I undestand perfectly your frustration and I will try to do what I can althought It doesnt seem easy thing because there isnt any(known) api to manage Radio Rom. Fieldtest is OEM dependent and I imagine It only works for only one manufacturer of radio hardware chip.

Ok, first try. If you start radio phone 10 times....

1) how many times your phone register to roaming (and wished) network?

2) If registed to roaming network, how much time (aprox) stays on it before register to bad cells?.

Why? well ,CMP executes actions when you enter on some place (compound by cells and lacs). You could create a place with your hated cells and then associate the action "reset radio" when registed to those cells (or lacs). In this way if your device falls into bad cells it would be resetted (only radio, not phone) until registed to good cells...

Only an idea....

If you can determine the direction of the "bad" towers, try lining your walls with lead sheets to block their signals and letting you connect to a prefered tower. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] taze:
Ill call the undesired network (LAC:d6ef - MNC 31380 - GSM850) : netBad

And the desired network (LAC: 0020 – MNC 31017 – PCS): netGood

There’s also a very weak, but present link to (LAC: d8e1 – MNC 31380 - UMTS) : UMTS

Restart 1:

Initial connection is to netBad. Within one minute it disconnects. Finds a UMTS signal, connects for less than five seconds then disconnects. Now it reconnects to netBad and stays on netBad. I get a phone call five minutes later and when I answer it, it’s on UMTS Cingular. The caller can not hear me speak. So I go in the corner next to the windows, now we can talk. I walk back to my desk and BAM, no more UMTS, just netBad.

Restart 2:

I restart at my desk and initial connection is to UMTS, but not for more than five seconds, then netBad.

Restart 3:

Once again the first connection icon I see is 3G but it doesn’t even stay on long enough to bring up FieldTest. It immediately connects to netBad.

Restart 4:

This time I restart over by the window. Initial connection, no service. After less than sixty seconds connection becomes netBad. It also informs me I have a Voicemail and, as usual, no ring.

Restart 5:

This time I restart in the Kitchen. Initial connection, no service. After less than sixty seconds connection becomes netGood! I go back to the desk and connection stays to netGood.

Restart 6:

At my desk, Initial connection netBad. Within sixty, netGood.

Restart 7:

On my couch, Initial connection UMTS. Within ten, netBad.

Restart 8:

In bedroom, Initial connection no service. Within twenty, netGood. I go back to desk and within two minutes, UMTS. I get a call, have to go to the window to talk. Then I come back to the desk and it immediately switches to netBad.

By now you should get the idea, its freaking chaos I tell you!

To answer your questions:

1) how many times your phone register to roaming (and wished) network?

In a given day, it is random, a hand full of times maybe. 90% of the time it on netBad.

2) If registed to roaming network, how much time (aprox) stays on it before register to bad cells?.

Never more than 10min. depends on a lot of things, whether I move the phone or not.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
I'm pretty sure it means that it needs to be discharged and charged six times. Meaning you should use it normally and then charge it. Just don't drain it completely.

On a side note, is the battery bigger than the original? Does it fit without a special back cover?

If it does, it's not 9000 mAh. A 9000 mAh battery would be much bigger in size than the original.

Hi guys and thanks for taking the time to check out my thread. The basis of this thread is something that many people have talked about through my research on various forums but I hope you can help.

I rooted my one plus one the other week and was massively impressed by the new functionality of the device. I originally rooted to use the screen mirroring apk made by one of your users which is ace. However I did this to cast sky go to the big screen. Little did I know that sky go is a clever beast and knows if your rooted.

I have tried various root hiding apps to no avail. Is there any way round this at all..... I don't want to have to un root but if it has to be done so I can watch Liverpool FC then so be it. I was wondering if you can dual boot the device with another ROM or even install flash and use the sky go web interface and cast from there. Anyway new to this but enjoying myself.

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks Nic

A question: Does anyone know if the Dual SIM is "active" -- that is to say that each SIM has its own circuitry, allowing for two different carriers?

I spend time in both the US and in Europe, so I need a European carrier (Orange) and an American carrier (Net10).
