Huawei Ascend W1 & Windows Phone 8.1 = it works! - Windows Phone 8 General

Hello all you consumers and developers,
As you may or may not know, everyone trying to update to Windows Phone 8.1 via the Developer Preview got the dreaded 80183309 error, which means "The update was download, but couldn't be opened".
I took a risk and installed the Russian ROM people were talking about at the Microsoft Community and check the post by FedorMaslak - translation required Russian - English) on page 43.
Here is how you do it:
Step one - Flash the ROM using the tools in the forum entry above.
Step two - Download General Distribution Release 2 (GDR2) OTA via phone update
Step three - Download Preview for Developers
Step four - Activate the Preview for Developers and install GDR3.
Step five - Once installed, you will see Update 1/2 installing on your device, this is for preparation for WP8.1
Step six - Check for updates and Windows Phone 8.1 will install!
I have made a video with WP8.1 running on the Huawei Ascend W1, which is available by searching RYANODONNELLUKF on YouTube.
(Sorry, XDA-Developers wouldn't let me post outside links...)

What tool?

thank you for the link, but i've tried to flash my phone following the steps. The first step it's ok, but when i try to launch the file wp8cruu.exe gives me the following error: "Cannot open device "Qualcomm MMC Storage USB Device" Error 109. So i thought to install directly the 8.1 but for installa this rom i need the .app file of the rom. If do you know a method to install directly the rom without the extension .app, please tell me. Sorry for my english and thank you for the support.

I finally resolved doing the procedure in another computer with windows 8.1 64 bit. Befor i've used windows 7 64bit and in the second step was impossible to continue. Thank you again for the support.

Where can I download LETOOLS in some form of permanent file?

The only K1 Ideapad sync software Lenovo is offering now requires Windows 7 (basically throwing me and millions of other Windows XP users over a cliff) so forgive me if I sound a little paranoid . . . I need LETOOLS in some form of permanent file so I no longer have to be at the mercy of Lenovo.
I have no idea if this is a Windows program -or- a Google Play live install that runs on my K1 Ideapad, I just know that if I don't nail down a hard copy of it somewhere it's apparent Lenovo doesn't give a good goddamn about me and perfectly content to watch me go begging. Please, could someone help me? If it isn't too big, could someone . . . I don't know, post it here? offer it on another site?
And again, I've never manually installed a program to my K1. If LETOOLS is an Android program I'll need help understanding how to get it into my Ideapad! Thanks guys. Just really infuriating . . .

Try this link
Hey rurocking, thank you for that link. Could you help me hunt down two more files that I need which are apparently not components of LETOOLS? They are:
LETOOLS.APK
LENOVO MOBILE DEVICE DRIVERS
I was certain the apk would be packed in the LETOOLS download but I can't find it anywhere. And I give up trying to locate the "Lenovo Mobile Device Drivers" that LETOOLS is prompting me I have to have installed before LET can proceed to install. What a nightmare! :cyclops: Help!

Here's where to find the download. I would post the link for you, but i'm facing restrictions based on not having ever posted anything on this website.
Google "Lenovo Support Downloads page"
In the next menu, select IdeaPad K Series Tablet, followed by All Machine Types, then scroll down to Windows 7.
Under the Software, You will see Synchronization Software for Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - IdeaPad Tablet K1.
to find the letools.apk, use 7zip and extract the following \LeTools_MultiLang_x86_x64_Full_setup_20320.exe\LeTools_MultiLang.msi\contents.cab\

Tutorial: Jailbreak Windows Phone 8 or Install Windows Phone 8.1 on Huawei Ascend W1

Hello,
Since there are many users eagerly waiting to get Windows Phone 8.1 and don't know how to flash a ROM on the Huawei Ascend W1, I decided to do a quick video-tutorial. It is basically the same as WojtasXDA's guide, but easier for less advanced users to understand.
DOWNLOADS
Windows Phone 8 SDK and Developer Account
Qualcomm USB Driver
Qualcomm USB Driver (for manual installation)
Simple I/O Driver (unsigned)
Qualcomm Support Tool
Custom Bootloader

Custom ROM incl. Flashing-Tool
You can find a full written-guide here.
Hope you like it!
Best Regards,

Hello, the files you indicated are not all available anymore. I am concerned if I can use only partial files to do this upgrade. I can show you what I was able to download and if you can advise if what I have is sufficient to do the upgrade, that will be greatly appreciated. However, I cant upload a screen capture of what I was able to download. How can I upload a screen capture for your review ? Thx. [email protected]

Hello,
thanks for the post !
But I am stuck right at the beginning. AdbDriverInstaller requires the device to be connected. If I connect it, it is only detected by the software if I use 'Hisuite' mode from the USB menu. And then the drivers would not install saying that drivers are not compatible with win8.1 x64. I'll try on a win7x32 tomorrow and post update.
thanks
@glycero Yes, try it on WIN7 or download a compatible ADB driver for WIN8. Let us know how it works.
device rooted !
I used this universal driver for adb : I am not allowed to post external links so just search for adb windows 8 and the first reply in Google is fine.
If others are willing to follow the above instructions, bear in mind that the SuperSU application provided is in Chineese.... You may prefer another one.
Great, thanks
here is the link : https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH for universal ADB
@glycero Thanks!

The appearance of Android don't change, you only can run apps that need Root permissions. If you want to update you can flash the factory recovery and root again after update.

First I wanna thank you all for this guide.

Did you try root your L09 on Windowds 8.1 x 64 ? I had some problems on this platform.
If you guys have a specific question, please describe it in detail and we and other xda members may solve that for you. We, LeHarbour.com, will not be able to standby in this forum 24x7, but we will definitely check this periodically.

I had problems before with Windows 7. Not for this phone but with some other phone. But my windows XP desktop saved me.
So, yah Windows XP is better for rooting and other stuff.

We perform root on WIN7 X64. Maybe check the proper ADB drivers for WIN8 X64.

at which step do you have issues ?
Just got it today. Managed to root it as per the tutorial.
But just to highlight. If you have 1 of the chinese models, you will have to use the Chinese Page to generate the unlock code.

Also, the superuser app in the attached is in Chinese.
I have modified the zip with an english version should you require it.

Windows Phone Internals - Unlock bootloader, enable Root Access, create Custom ROM

I am proud to announce the immediate availability of Windows Phone Internals 1.0. This tool allows you to unlock the bootloader of selected Lumia Windows Phone models. After unlocking the bootloader, you can enable Root Access on the phone or create and flash Custom ROM's. I created two video's to demonstrate the features of the tool.
Root Access allows you to load your own homebrew software onto the phone with high privileges. Apps can escape from their sandboxes. The tool can also create backup-images of the phone and access the file-system in Mass Storage mode. The tool supports most versions of Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile. For a complete list of supported phones and Operating Systems have a look at the Getting Started section of the tool.
The download package also contains an SDK, which helps you to easily access the filesystem and registry on the phone from your own homebrew app.
The tool, SDK and video's are available on my new website:
www.wpinternals.net
Update december 23rd:
Windows Phone Internals version 1.1 is released. It has a fix for the audio-issue when Root Access is enabled and it supports Root Access on the latest Windows 10 Mobile build 10.0.10586.36. You can find the new version of the tool in the Download section on wpinternals.net
It seems there were extra integrity checks for playing media. I fixed this for audio-playback. I will create a generic fix later, but this will work for now. If you already have Root Access and you experience the Audio-issue, just "Enable Root Access" again on the phone.
Update december 29th:
A small update this time. Changes in this version:
Compatibility improvement for Windows 7. In previous versions "Enable Root Access" could result in "Failed to enable Root Access on MainOS".
"Restore bootloader" now uses a different Flashing interface. Previously, when you restored the bootloader, you were forced to do a full flash afterwards. With this new method you can keep your current Windows Phone installation. Remember that you need to disable Root Access before you restore the bootloader.
Many small fixes and tweaks.
FAQ
If your question is not answered here, please watch my instruction video's and read the "Getting started" section in my tool. I spent a lot of time to explain everything. If you have more questions, they are probably already answered there.
Can we run Android on Lumia now?
Why people ask this is beyond me. If you want Android, buy an Android phone. If you still want it, it will be a big challenge. You can remove UEFI, EFIESP, MainOS and Data partitions and then add hboot and other Android partitions. But then you would still need Android drivers for the Lumia components.
Which Lumia's are supported by the tool?
Lumia 520, 521, 525, 620, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 928, 1020 and 1320 are supported. These bootloaders can be unlocked.
Which OS versions are supported?
For these OS versions Root Access can be enabled. To enable Root Access, the bootloader must be unlocked first.
8.10.12393.890
8.10.12397.895
8.10.14219.341
8.10.14226.359
8.10.14234.375
8.10.15116.125
8.10.15148.160
10.0.10512.1000
10.0.10536.1004
10.0.10549.4
10.0.10581.0
10.0.10586.11
10.0.10586.36
I will add support for new versions when they get released.
Why are other Lumia's not supported?
Other Lumia's have different CPU architectures. And these come with different bootloaders. Some of my hacks depend on the implementation of these bootloaders. Some of my hacks won't work on different bootloaders. I need to find new hacks for these bootloaders. I will try that, but I can't predict when that is ready. The tool has implemented all the basics. So adding new hacks will be easier.
Why are other brands not supported?
Same reason. Some hacks work different. I will try to add support for other brands. But I don't know when it is ready.
I need Emergency Flash Loaders. Where can I get them?
This search should yield relevant results:
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22lumia%22+%22emergency%22+%22hex%22
I need an Engineering SBL3. Where can I get it?
This search should yield relevant results:
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22engineering+sbl3s%22
You can download a full Engineering ROM or a separate SBL3 file. If you select an FFU file in the tool, the tool will extract the SBL3 from the FFU. SBL3 contains hardware-profiles of the phone and it initializes the hardware. Therefore you should only use an alternative SBL3 if it came from a phone that is at least the same brand and CPU architecture as your phone.
I can't find a matching Engineering SBL3. Can I still unlock my phone?
Yes. The alternative SBL3 is optional. You can still unlock your bootloader and flash Custom ROM's. But you will not have Mass Storage Mode. So you won't be able to enable Root Access directly on the phone or make a full backup-image of the phone. But you can still flash Custom ROM's and enable Root Access on the Custom ROM's. Use the second method from my "Unlock" video.
I unlocked my phone and now my audio is gone. Why?
This is an issue with Root Access in Windows Phone Internals 1.0. Update to Windows Phone Internals 1.1 and then choose "Enable Root Access" again.
Can I SIM-unlock my phone with this tool?
No. SIM-unlock is illegal in some countries. I don't support SIM-unlock.

Would this make dualbooting Windows 10 Mobile and Android possible on Lumia ?
i think i found a "bug". i am using an lumia 1020 with the newest windows 10 mobile build. the lumia 1020 is at&t branded and sim unlocked, but your software says under phone - info that the sim is stock locked. also i dont think the bootloader unlock or the flash of a custom firmware will with an an branded phone or does it now ?
also, it isnt really important, but you should in your software under getting started maybe link the "windows device recovery tool" instead of the abandoned "lumia software recovery tool". anotherthing: windows startscreen gives me a warning if i start the programm as the publisher of the tool is unknown and chrome warns me too that the downloaded archive from your website could probably be a virus.
other than that: awesome. thanks
Finally! Thank you very much!
Does this mean Android on Lumia coming soon?

You still have WPinternals.
If you don't have access to a lot of internet data, just name the file you need, as there are many Lumia 950 variants.
My variant downloaded is RM1104_1078.0053.10586.13169.15218.034DB1_retail_prod_signed.ffu.
Based on my experience, even the latest 1709 FFU won't allow upgrades to the web browser. I've tried all of the ones in the Store to no avail and I've even searched the web for ways to side load an update using a cable and developer mode. I'm a diehard Windows phone fan but without some way around this issue, I feel a sense of impending doom. Every day another web site tells me that my browser is out of date, and I can't continue unless I upgrade.
