[Q] How to Install offical upgrade

Hi, i would like to know how can i install the official upgrwde, after download it from huawei website?
Step by step please... it's my 1st android...
Cheers

There should be a step by step guide at the Huawei web site. So double check there first.
If you have a "dload" file from Huawei, then all you should need to do is put it on your sdcard and reboot your device. When your S7 turns on you should see a progress bar. When the update is complete remove your battery..... do not push the power button, it will cause the device to redo the update. Remove your sdcard from the S7 and remove the "dload" file from it (via card reader or hub connected to your PC). Once the dload file is no longer on your sdcard you can put it back to use in the S7.
Upon rebooting, you should see the update has taken hold. To verify, look in " About Device" in your settings menu.

Make sure you don't have a dload folder inside a dload folder if you have got a zipped file.
Dload in the root directory of sdcard and the update files in the dload folder!

thanks in advance

You've got a PM >
Remember, you CANNOT install the stock Roms from within the recovery.
To install a stock ROM, all you have to do is:
- Create a folder on the SD card named "dload"
- Get the contents (usually 2 big files) of the stock Rom archive and place them on the "dload" folder.
- Switch off the phone and press Vol+, Vol- and Power.
The stock Rom installation is automatic and you don't have to do anything during installation.

oh ok, good to know.
problem solved already tried to install older version of miui. the new version was messing with my phone nothing worked with it.
thanks anyway saving this for the future <3 !

Where can i find this rom archive? I'd like to have a rom backup of my phone U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01CUSTNLDC253D001 (The Netherlands) before i flash anything. Is this the latest stock rom for my country? If i would resize data will this be a problem when restoring the stock rom?

I would advise against resizing the partitions, as it's difficult to restore them in case you need the phone for warranty.
I've sent you a PM with some info, let me know if you need more.

U8800Pro - Last russian ROM 2.3 (1C00B552CUSTC10D001) 2.6.35 kernel

link to the ROM on www.narod.ru. Type digit code, press "скачать", and have a link.
original post here.
If you have Android 2.2 on your phone:
1. Download the archive;
2. Create in the root of SD-card folder "dload";
3. Write to the new folder, all files from step1/dload (UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_g.APP);
4. Insert a memory card into the phone (if not already inserted) and pull out the battery;
5. Turn on the phone, holding down the volume up and down;
6. Once the firmware is installed, delete the folder dload all the files and write files from step2/dload;
7. Repeat the procedure for the folder step3/dload.
If you have Android 2.3 on your phone:
1. Download the archive;
2. Delete a file UPDATE.APP from folder step1/dload;
3. Rename a file UPDATE_g.APP to UPDATE.APP;
4. Create in the root of SD-card folder "dload";
5. Write to the new folder the renamed file UPDATE.APP from a folder step1/dload;
6. Insert a memory card into the phone (if not already inserted) and pull out the battery;
7. Turn on the phone, holding down the volume up and down;
8. Once the firmware is installed, delete the folder dload all the files and write files from step2/dload;
9. Repeat the procedure for the folder step3/dload.
* If any of the processes will not start - log-in and run the installation manual settings-memory-upgrade software.
* If some of the processes of updating the device hanging - wait 10 minutes then remove the battery. After 10 seconds, reinsert.
On my phone firmware write good. First run language is english, and you must manually configure APN.

any fixes???

Hi,
thank you very much for sharing this great news.
Anyway I would like to know if this new firmware is fixing the sdcard mount problem, the multitouch bug and the accelerometer.
Another thing: can you enter in pink screen mode with this new base-rom?
Regards,

Unfortunately I no have information about any fixes.
Most likely, it`s the last firmware on 2.3, no more updates. OTA is not expected - install manually. About the ICS no any information yet.
First personal experience - a better camera and battery life. Still testing.

Thank you for the quick answer!
Since you are able to enter in pink screen mode, can you upload the original/stock boot.img?
I just extracted the rom from UPDATE_g.APP but I can only manage the system.img and the only way to extract the boot.img is the pink screen.
Thank you in advance!

This is a clear original ROM, no patch or root. I make standard root procedure, it's work.

B552 = B540 + Pink Screen Mode, nothing more
Ok, thank you always, but I flashed the update and copied the boot.img file through the pink screen.
The ROM has FPS limit and the compass mode in Google Maps Street View doesn't work, maybe with a reboot the compass mode will work fine.
The external sdcard is not correctly mounted after a full shutdown, so the bug persists still now.
The multitouch bug after the lockscreen is also in life...
Then I have a question: what did Huawei do on this new B552 base?
The only thing I see like a "news" is Google Music, nothing more.
I have a conclusion:
B552 = B540 + pink screen

kalo86

downloading it now
tomorrow i will extract the zip and i will update to this stock firmware.
then i will copy the boot.img on my pc, i will extract the system.img from updata_g.app and i will cook the new version of my Countach

Hi Matteo,
yes, I did the same procedure, you can extract only system.img with dsixda kitchen, if you want boot.img you need to install with the dload folder procedure the original firmware and then put your U8800 Pro in pink screen mode.
If you trust in me, you can take my boot.img, it's the same of the original one but I only added root permission and init.d run-script.
Hoping to help, this is the file for you and other people:

Standard root:
1. Go to pink screen.
2. Replace original boot.img with patched, save original.
3. Reboot, wait when phone fully load .
4. Go to pink screen again and recover original boot.img, reboot.
5. When phone load wipe factory settings.
6. Done, your phone rooted.
For me it's work without problem.

pure
on SD card make directory named "dload"
copy the UPDATE_g.APP into (approx 370 MB)
rename the UPDATE_g.APP to UPDATE.APP
update via SD card update (no pinkscreen), but if you want, use pinkscreen, it is the same
immediately after first reboot, pull out the battery, insert the batt. go to pinkscreen, delete the ****ty cust.img, reboot and continue with installation.
you will get pure gingerbread without any customizations (yes, there is the huawei launcher and beyond the sky theme, i like it)
for root, oc, use geno´s boot.img, for HDR edit the build.prop
if you like huawei´s boot animation, copy it to system/media folder (files bootanimation.zip and bootanimationex.zip)
step 2 and step 3 is not needed

Missed call problem exist? When someone want's to call he heards that you are unavailable/not on network or the phone is turned off.

Can you access to your phones internal memory? if you can, put dload folder there. If you cant, just put dload folder to sdcard. Then boot your phone while holding both volume buttons down. Your phone should start updatng after it. when it's ready, your on .35 kernel.

Once you have put the dload folder on, followed instructions to upgrade in previous posts, then follow this thread to put CWM on and install ICS:

You have a phone locked to a provider, like Vodafone, etc, etc and you had installed a ROM that give you the BalongC**B*** issue in build number insted of of the rom build number is because your vendor is missing in that rom and your installation is not completed!!!
Is easy to fix it, you need to have Huawei recovery, doesn´t work with TWRP, just extract the dload folder to your sd card from this zip bellow and install like a default ROM, this will change your vendor to hw/eu, the vendor that came in provider free ROMs!
