I'm trying this out, but the first time around it simply reverted back to the stock (bloated) rom. I'm wondering if I needed to format data. Is there any disadvantage to formatting data, in addition to factory reset?

Also, just to confirm, when you say we "must Mount - System / Cust and Data", you mean to check those boxes under the "Mount" menu, and then uncheck "Mount system partition read-only", correct? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

Actually, I went ahead and tried it again, and Nice! It worked. It already seems way faster than that fat-ass bloated stock rom.

I'm also not seeing mobile settings in the settings menu, BUT like others have noted, it IS available in the dropdown shortcuts menu.

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

Good news is it's operating much more smoothly, even more than your clean rom version.

Unfortunately, however, the data usage menu is now also missing. That's a big problem for us who need to restrict background data. I can't find anywhere to do that. It also makes it impossible to see data usage of a particular app under the app info menu.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
If monitoring your data use is important to you theirs plenty of apps on the Play store for that

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andcreate.app.trafficmonitor&hl=en

Again this Rom is the Bare basic rom ... you want extras go find them on an apk Store like google play or apkmirror or apkpure
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gungho-sd:
Yes, of course, that's what I like about it. The fact that it's almost bare naked and runs extremely smooth. I'm using it for very basic tasks but hoping to make them as quick as possible.

However, where would I find the stock data monitor for this rom? I've tried SO MANY custom or app data trackers, but many of them seem in-accurate and have other nuances. I will use one, but the stock data tracker has always seemed the most reliable.

Battery Drain

So I got everything working fine, but something is draining the battery like I have never seen before. I installed Better battery stats, but can't get it to install as a system app so I can see partial locks.

anyone else on this have battery drain issues, or get BBS to work properly?

How would I go back to 100% stock, bootloader, recovery, system and relock the bootloader, essentially the whole she-bang?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Battery​ is fantastic on bare naked for me. If you want stock see my guide for updating after root
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] yedor:
Hi when you said you tried it again and it worked for you, did you do what you describe first and go to "Mount" menu and checked "System+Cust+Data", and then uncheck "Mount system partition read-only".

After that, you then you exit the "Mount" menu, and proceed to "Install" the ROM?

Thanks!
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Thats correct
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] yedor:
Thank you, just installed it now, very fast and clean!!
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
No known way to relock the bootloader.

Try GSam Battery Monitor if you're still trying to figure out the drain issue. Be sure to do the adb commands to give it usage access when prompted.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
To be completely honest I'm not sure what I removed that caused the setting to disappear.

Was it still their in CleanRom ?

Like i said I don't really use the feature so i never noticed it being gone
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ace256:
If anyone cares:

I just got my H1611 to agree to relock the bootloader, but now it doesn't boot. It really doesn't matter though, this phone had some other issues as well, like not working on the cellular network so it's going back.

If someone that knew a bit more than I do worked on it they might figure out how to get it completely back to stock, bootloader and all.

I'm going to mess with it a little more before returning it just to see what I can figure out.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] paindaddi:
bare naked no change?

So I did all that was instructed. Upon flashing bare naked the only difference I have is the boot screen is now Android.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
What was the relock command you used?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Sounds like your phone was already debloated then.

Do you have mobile data setting?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] paindaddi:
I do have date I always adjust my son to optimal. I think I found the issue I thought I was on 150 but it's 140. What do you recommend?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ace256:
I used fastboot oem relock ###########

The # is the unlock code
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Will the phone boot if you unlock the bootloader again?

You said it doesn't boot after relock. .. so what does happen and what does the screen show?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ace256:
I'm sure if I unlocked and flashed SU it would boot, but I have already exchanged it for a new one.

What I done to get to that point was flash the stock before root images from [Guide]Huawei Ascend XT - How to update from B130 to B140 and B150 after being rooted I tried to relock at this point, but got the error "(remote: root type is risk)" so apparently there was something still left behind

So then I extracted the boot and recovery IMG files from the update.app file located in the 140 to 150 firmware updates (from the aformentiond post) using the Huawei Update Extractor, I got the ideas from The Absolute way to " Re-lock " The Bootloader post.

I booted to stock recovery and factory reset, then fastboot flashed the boot and recovery images, rebooted directly to bootloader and the relock command worked.

After the reboot it hung at the Huawei boot screen, similar to what happens when you don't have the image patched with SU.

BTW the bootloader shows phone relocked instead of locked or unlocked

Hope this helps someone....
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Thanks. I'm not sure what to make of all that at the moment.

So what do you plan to do with this new phone? Maybe best to leave it unrooted for a while and verify everything works and just get a feel for how it performs bone stock. You can still disable some of the AT&T crapware on a stock XT.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ace256:
Ed Zachary, the new one is 130, I am going to let it OTA to 150 by it's self before I attempt anything as I think that is where I might have jacked things up a bit, I am still using my trusty Nexus 6, but the Ascend is my wife's daily driver for the moment, so it's best that it just work properly for now.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Smart plan :)
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Nice job .... I understand what you were trying to do. The one big problem with this is their is no Full update.app to revert to.

All other Huawei / Honor phones have a rollback / Full update so you can restore your phone to stock, unfortunately this one does not.

If your going to OTA the updates you can trick the phone by moving the date forward one day and check for update again until you get both of them.

the link you provided says:

Is that what worked ?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ace256:
I'm sorry, that is exactly what worked, I will correct my previous post.

Hello,

I can't disable notifications for any of my apps on bare_naked rom. I read Huawei ascend XT manual, but the rom is missing notification center. Please help. Thank you.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
When you pull dow the notification shade

the top one says Options .. click it

theirs your notification settings

I see what you mean now if your in Settings / Apps / choosing an app you can't set the notifications

not sure what to do in that case, I'll look into it
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Paisley Pirate:
Hi,

Pardon my ignorance, but I am coming back to Android after several years away.

The Ascend XT seems to lock all the apps in the internal 16gb, instead of letting anything reside out on the SD card. Does going to the Bare_Naked ROM open that up so that you can install apps out on the SD?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
No. No known way I'm aware of to install apps to external storage on the XT. Depending on how many apps you have, this should not be a problem :) .
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Paisley Pirate:
Thanks! Still trying to get my noodle around the OS and what does what. This still gives much more room that the pitiful amount the OEM allows us out of the box.

I have a new Stripped.Stock.Rom that has Notifications fixed here >> https://xdaforums.com/android/development/-t3583471
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
The phone is partitioned at the factory

The System partition is 3.3 gb I removed a lot of files from this partition but you can only install apps here with special software like Link2SD or Titanium Backup (use Convert to System app).

The Normal Data partition is 8.8gb with 7.5gb free this is not changed much

Theirs a 3rd partition named cust that's 512MB that holds a lot of the Bloat (AT&T / Amazon apps)

this partition is also wasted space and cannot be used by the user

The Cache partition is 1.2gb and is not usable

So while the phone comes as a 16 gig phone even debloated you only gain a few MB of space unless you convert some apps to System apps

and even then you'll only gain 1gb.

The phones EMUI 4.1 is whats stopping you from using ext_sdcard for apps.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] erlin168:

I am sorry for late reply. I just have a chance to check on this forum. I have tried your Stripped.Stock.Rom and the notification center is there. I can disable all notifications for my apps now. Thank you very much for your help. :)

[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Paisley Pirate:
Thank you for the thorough explanation. Nice to know the terrain of what we have to work with.

Now if we could get into that EMUI and open up the ext cards - I have 128gb card just sitting there loafing - while the internal ram is just stuffed near full... I get why (or rather, what they were thinking) but even so - if you are going to allow encryption, and it's a mounted piece that you end up having to pull the sim to remove, if its something I install and leave in place, why not allow it to be used for true expansion? (sorry, I know most of us are asking this same question)

Appreciate all your time and effort on this.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] madvane20:

I wouldn't say I so much abandon this rom ...I just built a different unrooted one

This Bare Naked rom is still very useful and it's not something that needs fixed, it's all just a matter of taste.

Some like the CleanRom with the different launcher different Theme and such

others just want a fully debloated rooted rom like this one

while still others want an unrooted Debloated rom like the Stripped stock

It all depends on how you use your phone...

He asked if I am running B160 "Firmware" I said I should be, I posted the about screen because I don't know how else to know if my "firmware" might still be B150. I thought maybe the build can say B160 but Kernel or Baseband could tell a different story. Because like I said.. I should be on B160 I flashed all the files and then the Bare_Naked Rom.

But I get that people aren't psychic. And I could of been clearer that I was asking if those parts of the about can tell you what the firmware is.
