[Huawei Ascend G6] persona78:
------------------------- My modified ROM -------------------------

Updated on 07-04-2015

This is a backup from what I have in my phone, modified by me.

Check bellow the new update and let a comment! ;)

Lets see her first! : https://youtu.be/ygulhZFlGjQ

In this version have a New "Face", by default external sd storage is the main storage, have a new bootanimation, a better one core performance ( 90% of the apps use only one core ), better RAM usage, have a Mega Themes pack that will be created in external SD CARD but you can delete the themes you don´t like it, ADB is in ROOT mode, default recovery have busybox tools, new tweaks, two hardreset zip to use with TWRP ( one version install the default recovery again) and auto resize data partition to 4GB!

Data partition is where user data and apps go, by default is 2GB!!! And still have the option of sending the apps to sd card! ;)

And automatically will send the apps to sd card IF YOU HAVE A PRIMARY EXT4 PARTITION IN external SD card, if you don´t have apps stay in phone like default.

This is for #Huawei #Ascend #G6 #L11 #LTE. - European version, i don´t now if works for other countrys.

So, like before...

This ROM is from a backup from my #phone and it was #modded by me, for now everything is working fine but some times issues are only noticed with the use of the device.

My version still #Kitkat #B370 but very diferent from Stock #ROM, have more tools, options and user have Full control from the phone.

Please read all to understand and see what you need to do and how to do it!

One of the best things in this version is that data partition was increse from 2GB to 4GB and if you have a ext4 partition with +/- 3/4GB ( don´t need more ) in your external sd card it will install the all apps there automatically!!!

Advantage of this? You will have a huge store space for the apps!!! And the "#low #storage #space" advise, you will never gonna see it!

If you don´t have it, it will work like default ROM.

To create a primary #ext4 partition in sd card with the size you want, you can use mini partition tool (for windows OS ).

This video shows how this ROM works with a external ext4 partition in sd card what means that all apps go to sd card and let internal storage free, the example shows how to create a 8GB partition but is to big...4/3GB i think will do the job:

https://youtu.be/7st6838_aAg

Use a class 10 sdcard, better if is one to use with 4k pictures, it have a better performace!

-> To use it with sd card ext4 partition is better to start from factory reset with the partition already created in sd card!

Or create the partition and flash this ROM!

It have Rashr from #XDA, it is a app that easly can change/flash your recovery and do some other things.

When you flash this ROM it will create in your sd card a folder called recoverys, inside you will find #TWRP ( modde by me to ) and the default recovery.

How to use it? Open #Rashr, give root permissions, select recovery, search in explorer for sdcard1, open recoverys folder choose the one you want and flash and flash it! Is that simple.

And now this ROM will install in your external sd card a flash zip to use with TWRP called Hard_Reset.zip. What it does???

It will reset your phone AND the ext4 partition you have in external sd card!!! Full reset, in phone and in the external sd card ext4 partition! You must flash it with TWRP to work.

My device is working properly with out any problem so far, some times bugs only be noticed with use and i will update this post with the ROM fixed.

Install it by your own free will, I am not responsible for any damage that may appear in the device.

Lets start! ( If you had any of my other version jump to STEP 3! )

If is your first time in this page start by unlocking your bootloader, and by flashing b118 ROM, if you already have done this skip this 2 first steps and go to step 3:

STEP1: To Unlock the #bootloader, first try this site, but if you don´t have you need to create a account ( free ):

https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail

Insert your data like this example for U10:

U10-G6, huawei G6-U10, etc..., DON´T WORK! Insert it like image shows.

Example for #L11 model:

http://postimg.org/image/wha6ixm85/

Be sure from the data you are inserting...

Now, with the code, use G6SKnife to install the drivers for Huawei, option ( d ) than turn off the phone, press volume - and power at same time, it will boot in bootloader mode, plug the usb cable, wait if is installing the phone, use G6SKinife again and use option 18, read what is in screen. If was done right the phone will reboot with factory reset and bootloader unlocked.

Step 2: You need B118 ROM #Firmware or a new one than B118 ( B119, B120, etc ) because old versions don´t let to install TWRP...

So lets flash B118:

Download this zip:

G6-L11_20V100R001C432B118_Firmware_West_20European_Channel-Others_Android_204.3_EMUI_202.0_20Lite_05012GFT.zip

https://mega.nz/#!Tl4CnSBR

Key:

!rTuufQZhcyEGGY2_4iUc2S9lPZ61MamYS7OMydYFf1I

Extract the dload folder to PC desktop, paste in external sd card and with the phone OFF, press the volume KEYS and power at same time, hold it, and release power on boot, if don´t turn ON release only power, than volume keys when flash starts.

This video shows the flash from B118 than to Huawei_Ascend_B370_LTE_BB ROM but we gonna do it a litle easy, OK?

STEP3: Install TWRP but ! you need ! this version, or your flash will fail!!!...

Download this TWRP exe file:

https://mega.nz/#!39olHSqI

key:

!-xrnsx_nYPF4H-IeQXn6znbkn_1TbYUaHaYUx_O0qB4

Boot in bootloader ( must say unlocked in red ). Do you remeber how to do it? Turn off the phone, press vol - and power at same time! Plug the usb cable and execute the file you download!

It will reboot.

STEP4: The ROM!

Huawei_Ascend_G6-L11_EVOLUTION_B370_ROM_V2.0.0.zip

https://mega.nz/#!j9Ay2IYI

Key:

!Z9jQhLr3-kmyBjNicw_q8FZyqp-pjRVlG0h24JYIO-I

Copy to sd card, DON´T UNPLUG THE USB CABLE, why?

Power off the phone, it will boot in TWRP!!! ;)

Now go to install and flash the ROM!

READ ALL WHAT IS WRITE IN THE END OFF FLASH!!!

It will say to GO BACK TO TWRP MAIN MENU -> REBOOT -> ! RECOVERY!!!!!!!

You will go to FACTORY #RECOVERY!

Do a factory RESET!!!

I advise to use a cat10 extreme sd card - normally used for 4k movies and go to settings -> #STORAGE and change main storage to ->SD card.

Done!!!!

>>>>> FIX CUST, CHANGE PROVIDER AFTER INSTALL ROM<<<<

This ROM was edited to vodafone pt but can be changed to your provider.

When you flash it, if you are not from Portuguese Vodafone it will show a bootanimation that say " Change Cust after settings than do a factory reset ".

This is how to fix it with Root Browser, that you can find in ROM, go to folder /DATA and seek the custom.bin file, open it as a text file, you will see something such as example zt/rt, now we left the folder /DATA and go to the folder /CUST , we open it and we will find a folder with the name vodafone, we will change the name of it to the first name that we saw in custom.bin in our example will is zt, use small font, now we entered the zt folder and we will find another folder that his name is pt, let's switch to the second name of our exemple which will be rt, use small font!

Go back and exit the app, do a factory reset. Done!

The video shows how i change cust from hw/normal to vodafone/pt

So ROM is set to vodafone pt, you must do the same to your provider.

Check the video to know how to flash from B118 to one of my old version, is the same with this one to:

https://youtu.be/1rV3NAylyIo

On video you can see one of the advantages of external partition, a default factory reset or flash don´t delete the apps you have it in phone before, it will be installed in first boot! Some times it will take longer if you had to many apps.

The app on video is STORAGE SPACE, was in external partition like you will see on video, and was installed in flash!

ext4 partition is only reset by Hard_reset.zip!!! Default reset don´t "clean" that partition.
