Tutorial: Jailbreak Windows Phone 8 or Install Windows Phone 8.1 on Huawei Ascend W1 - Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking

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
Windows Phone 8.1 Update-ROM (GDR1)
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]

[Q] S7 105 Root

Hi. I am trying to root my S7 105 tablet. Although I download the drivers from the official Huawei site and installing them from the Drivers Tool I still get two drivers that are not installed. 1. Ideos tablet ADB interface and 2. Ideos Tablet Diag (com8). So usb debugging cannot work and although I tried to update drivers I always get the message Windows has determined the driver software for yours device is up to date. I cannot root the device. What might be the problem? Thank you in advance for your replies.
Anyone Please

Just browsing the forums as somebody has given me the Ideos S7 and I'm mucking around with it.
Looking at your question one begs to ask "what" version of windows you are on? Windows 8 64bit is the one I've installed the official drivers on. To accomplish this you need to disable "Driver Signature" check.
Google the following if you are on Windows 8 x64:
disable windows 8 driver enforcement
You should use the link below (I've had to edit it as I can't post links here (yet)
learnDOTsparkfunDOTcom/tutorials/disabling-driver-signature-on-windows-8/disabling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8
If you are on other version of 64 bit windows, remove the "8" in the search query and replace with your own version
Best of luck (if you haven't solved this by now )
try with windowsXP

Huawei Ascend W1 & Windows Phone 8.1 = it works!

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.

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.
Video-tutorial
First I wanna thank you all for this guide.
Second, if someone could just upload a video guide to youtube.
A step by step tutorial.
I think this will help everybody.
Thanks
Did you try root your L09 on Windowds 8.1 x 64 ? I had some problems on this platform.

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.

[Q] Unlock ZTE Open C

I want do do some development for Firefox OS and I have a ZTE Open C to work on. But I can't unlock the device. I've downloaded the Open_C_upgrade_Tool and run it in serveral environments. I only have a Mac and so I installed Bootcamp with Windows XP but the Upgrade Tool just says scanning for device ... and never finds it! Also tried it with XP running under VMware Fusion - the same result the UpgradeTool just searches for the ZTE and never finds it.
Before I pluged the ZTE to the system via USB I took out the SIM-Card and the SD-Card even tried with only SIM-Card out but again no success.
So can anyone here give any help with this. I read on other post that people had the same problem but there is no answer on this matter ...
And without unlocking my device it's no use to start any project.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Hi,
You can follow this guide to flash a the rooted image on your device (I assume you have an EU version) :
(Warning : not sure if it works on US version)
http://builds.firefoxos.mozfr.org/doc/en/devices/zte-open-c-eu
(and optionally update FirefoxOS with the provided -unofficial- builds)
The best would be to use a real Windows computer, I don't know if it works in a virtual machine for sure. But be sure to install the usb drivers (download link provided in the above guide) before trying to flash.
I have done it on my Open C and now I'm currently testing FxOS 2.1 (aurora)

Asus Zenfone Max Drivers - Help

Just purchased Zenfone Max model Z010D and i want to transfer my game/app data using helium but i can't seem to find the adb drivers for it. The universal adb drivers doesn't work. Can anyone help me?
Hi
I also had this problem.
Follow this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itVVFWRC02Q0VBQnc/view"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itVVFWRC02Q0VBQnc/view
Keep in mind that this will work on win 10. I've tested it on win 7 and during instalation (some blue screen installer) it was written that this is for Samsung device. Running same intaller on win 10 it gave info that this is for android or google something. So, it will work only on win 10.
