Before you start, unrar all 3 files and instal MTK Drivers.

1. Run Sp Flash Tool as Admin, check that in Downlaod Agent says MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin, and in Scatter put the one tha is inside the firmware folder.

2. Leave everything as is and press Download, turn off your Y360-U61 and plug it to your PC using an USB cable.

3. If the drivers were properly installed, Sp Flash Tool will recognize your phone and start writing data to it automatically. This will take some minutes.

4. When the process is done you will see a green check and the phone will be shutdown. Now is safe to close Sp FlashTool, disconnect your phone and turn in on.

5. Since this is a first boot and Android have to build caches and stuff it might take some time and even restart itself in the process. Eventually you'll reach the setup wizard. If you end up with a bootloop, ramdom reboots, etc, perform a Factory reset from the recovery menu.

How to perform a factory reset from the recovery in the Y360​

To do this you dont need a custom recovery, it can be done using the stock recovery that comes on your Y360.

1. Turn off your Y360 and press Vol+ y Power until you see the white text.

2. With Vol+ select recovery and press Vol- to enter.

3. Your y360 will reboot and enter into the recovery menu

4. Once on the recovery, use volume keys to go up and down and power to select. Go to Wipe data / Factory Reset

5. Go to Yes and press Power, the hard reset will start, it takes seconds. You can see the status in the log at the bottom of the screen.

6. Go back to the man menu of the recovery and select Reboot system Now pressing Power. Your 360 will reboot.

7. Again, this will be a long boot since Android has to build caches and stuff. Luckily your phone will be trouble free once it boots up and you complete the setup wizard.

In this video you can see how to flash the firmware and how to perform the hard reset from the recovery menu. You can also notice how was getting random reboots after flashing the firmware and i solved this performing the factory reset.

Update Y360 via OTA​

The firmware i left is B116 which i think is the latest an has no updates.

For Information purposes:

The firmware i gave you is B104, but in the huawei servers exist the b107 patch. So the very first thing you should do after installing the firmware is updating. Specially if you plan on rooting, OTAs will break root.

Once your y360-U61 is up and running, connect to a wifi network and go to Settings to run the updater. Like i said you will find the B107 update, which is about 90MB.

After the download is complete you have to give the order to install the update, from now on the process is automatic, the phone will restart and the update will be installed.

Once it finishes, you can go to updates again to check your version, it should be B107 and it should say there's no more updates.

Install TWRP for the Huawei Y360​

TWRP is a custom recovery which allows you to flash zips to modify or change your system. You need the mediatek drivers, sp flashtool and the .img file of TWRP.
