you can only alter rom files before flashing it to a device using cooking tools
So i never delete rom files and also no software can delete.

ROM is protected just so you don't wipe out all the functionality of a device without due care and attention. It is very dangerous to change ROM files if you don't know what you are doing and act recklessly. Do some studying on the topic of ROM cooking and search for device-specific ROMs and tools. Use the knowledge base and google for these.
Best regards and good luck!

I just created D.A.R.F.(Drizzy's All Resource Folder) and I just wanted to share it with the community. I have seen a couple of post of people asking for all resources well here it is and thats not it...I also have boot images, splash, mp3, lock screen and all wallpapers together!
All resources from ophone/hero/dream/magic etc...
I hope you can use these images, wallpapers, mp3, splash, ringtones, alarms and all this stuff for your ROM's or just personal use please help yourself and I hope you enjoy!
I will keep updating the "D.A.R.F" day by day... just throwing whatever resource I can find together for the community!
"FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE WALLPAPERS, CUSTOM SOUND'S, RING TONES AND MP3'S PLEASE SEND TO MY EMAIL SO I CAN THROW IT IN THE D.A.R.F.zip AND SHARE IT WITH THE COMMUNITY"
(D.A.R.F.1)
Thank you all & I hope you enjoy!
great idea, thanks
Great idea, Drizzy. This should help a lot of people.
awesome man. thanks.
Here's a direct HTTP mirron so you don't have to wait for the file to be downloaded.

Great Idea man, im sure this is gunna create a boom in custom roms
I like it thanks, I all ready put the OPhone Boot on my G1. and it is nice... thanks...
Hello devs!
ROM Toolbox is a rom manager plus much more, and we want your rom in our app. All roms will be *completly* free to download through our rom manager.
Why should you want to put your rom in our app?
Because your rom can meet a much larger audience with more potential downloads/donations for you.
We want this to be as easy as possible for you.
To get the rom on ROM Toolbox, please do the following:
1) Fill out the file below with the roms/zips you want to have.
2) Upload this file to your server. That way you can be in control of what ROMs show up at all times. Otherwise we can host it ourselves.
3) Send us the link to this file on your server.
4) Send us a summary of the ROM.
5) Send us the name of the ROM.
6) Send us the devices you support.
Code:
<roms count="1">
<rom>
<category>Category of zip</category>
<name>Rom name</name>
<info>Rom description</info>
<PhoneModel>DROIDX</PhoneModel> <!-- in build.prop file. see ro.product.model -->
<SubFolder>name_of_folder_to_download_to</SubFolder> <!-- should not have spaces -->
<url>http://jrummy16.com/jrummy/roms/liberty/downloads/Liberty2.0.1DX.zip</url><!-- your direct download link here -->
<md5>85222c22c2e44903b0ded06fe61b6d46</md5> <!-- if you don't want to put md5sum leave as * -->
<donate>http://bit.ly/donateliberty</donate>
<screenshot>http://i52.tinypic.com/29e4rba.png</screenshot>
<IsDependent>false</IsDependent>
<dependency>com.license.package</dependency>
</rom>
</roms>
Note: you can add as many zips/roms as you want.. just add another section right under the "rom" entry. If you need any assistance filling this out feel free to ask and we can help you!
Ideally we would love for you to maintain your own download link. If this is not possible, please contact us and we'll do our best to help out.
ROM Toolbox is going through a major overhaul in the near future and we want you to be a part of it.
Thanks!
(Mods, wasn't sure if this should go here or in development. Feel free to move it.)
Already got a few ROMs in our Toolbox. Send us your info to get yours in as well!
Just emailed you
Your best bet would be to contact the CM team as they are mainly the only ones that use this type of option. Most developers won't use it.
Had to dig to find this
Got your email and will respond soon. Thanks man!
Great tool. Just added my ROMs and themes to ROM ToolBox and it works great. This will be a nice tool to give users of my ROM an easy possibility to update.
Thank you jrummy16.
Hello jrummy16,
Can't see my ROMs anymore in the ROMToolBox. My themes are still there, but not the ROMs. Checked the XML file, but it looks good. All I can see in the ROM List is "Fonts", "Google Apps" and "Superuser", but not a single ROM. I checked my ro.product.model on the tablet and it shows the correct code.
Any idea?
Getting ready to set this up for my AOKP port for the Droid RAZR (CDMA) but I had a few questions first.
1. After completing the XML file, is the file name supposed to be anything certain? Or can I just save the file as "KOA_AOKP"?
2. It says from Step 3 on, to send you information. My question is where am I sending this info to? There is no email address posted or anything to contact you.
3. Lastly, the lines that say:
<SubFolder>name_of_folder_to_download_to</SubFolder> <!-- should not have spaces
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
<category>Category of zip</category>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Could someone please elaborate on these lines. Sorry for being so nitpicky but I really want this to work and don't want to mess it up. My questions for those 2 lines are:
What does the line mean by "name of folder to download to?" Does this mean the name of the folder I want the download to create on the users phone?
"Category of zip" for this, would I just put "ROM"?
Again I'm really sorry for asking for so much clarification, just wanted to make sure I get this right and my users can get their ROM from this great source! Thanks JRummy and team for all you guys do!
Welcome to the Huawei U8860 Honor / Honour / Glory - Index!
(please treat this thread as dev-thread, it is part of a dev-forum, not Q&A)
Please don't PM me for support, I will ignore those requests - they are just too many and I'm not getting paid for that, I'm not huawei support. Just ask your questions somewhere in the forum, but in my opinion this thread is really not the place for it, since this is a developer forum and not the Q&A section. That's why xda-developers adds restrictions to post here for new users - to prevent this to be a Q&A-Forum. Please Try to ask your questions in the appropriate Q&A-Section of the xda-developer Forum.
Different versions of the Huawei Honor
There are two feature differences that I am aware of:
Number of Touch-Points: 2 or 5; I have 2 touch-points and with B977 my ProjectMenu just printed "synaptic" as touchscreen version, with B919 it states "synaptics-TPK.6"
Position of Huawei Logo on the back: in the top-left corner (china / russia?) or in the middle like this: http://kaefert.is-a-geek.org/huawei_honor/IMG_7491_small.JPG
It seem's there are versions without a camera? at least user limzm states in his signature his U8860 doesn't have one.
Backup & Recovery
In my opinion the first and most important thing when playing around with different ROMs, is the ability to backup and restore the phones ROM & state.
For this you need a custom recovery (which you will also need to flash custom ROMs, so you might only skip this if you want to only flash stock ROMs)
If you're on an 2.3.6 ROM, then possibly for this to work, you first need to flash a different stock ROM. There have been reports that with 2.3.6 the method below may not work. Also some newer ROMs like B923 and above have locked boot loaders, the latest ICS ROM that you can use for this is B919
NEW: CWM 6.0.1.0 with touch-support: MOD EDIT: Link removed.
OLD: download recovery-u8860-en.img from here MOD EDIT: Link removed.
make sure there is no directory named "dload" on your micro-sd-card - if there is, rename or remove it.
Turn off Fast-Boot, and shutdown your phone. If you don't know how to turn off Fast-Boot, pull the battery (it can be found in different places in different ROMs)
Press and hold volume-up, volume-down and power-button at the same time.
You should now see your phones screen pink (="pink screen mode")
Now connect your phone with an USB cable to a computer
A few disks should be mounted, search for the one that has an "image" folder with an recovery.img and a boot.img inside it. rename the recovery.img to recovery-bak.img (or simular) and copy recovery-u8860-en.img there and rename it to recovery.img
WARNING: Don't use the file recovery_v8.img which is referenced in a few other guides. It crashes and leaves you with non bootable phone-states and/or with unfished backups which cannot be restored.
ROMs
Stock ROMs (& leaked stock ROMs)
Stock ROMs (or leaked stock ROMs) can be flashed like this:
Download and unpack onto your micro-SD Card like that: /mnt/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP (some ROMs also have UPDATE_CUST.APP, copy it to the same place. If you're update has a second dload_cust (or the like) folder, you need to flash it in a second round just as the first one, by renaming it to "dload")
Turn off Fast-Boot, and shutdown your phone. If you don't know how to turn off Fast-Boot, pull the battery (it can be found in different places in different ROMs)
Press and hold volume-up, volume-down and power-button at the same time.
If everything above was done correctly, you should be able to watch your phone upgrading now.
Alternative: Some ROMs have an option in the settings that lets you start the upgrade-procedure without step 2.) and 3.) from above. If you can find it, you can use that one.
You can find stock ROMs here:
International ROMs: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3834&tb=1

(thanks to user det-happy for pointing it out to me)
The most important Stock-ROM in my eyes (as base for most custom ROMs there are) is B919, find it here:

NEW: Rooting method for stock ICS B919/B923/B924 (and perhaps others older ICS)

For people running linux on their computers, I've created an adapted version of this root tool:
kaefert.is-a-geek.org/huawei_honor/HuaweiHonorRootTool_LinuxVersion.7z
OLD: Theres a nice guide explaining how to root and flash+enable google-apps here: (but don't take the recovery from there but from above. explanation also above) - only use this if the new method above doesn't work for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22688341&postcount=53
Custom ROMs
To flash custom ROMs:
download their .zip file and put it somewhere on your sd-card
boot into your custom recovery: turn off phone completly, then Long press volume up + power button (for installation of custom recovery see top of this post)
factory reset / wipe everything (not always necessary, but to be on the save side. Some ROMs will not work in some cases if you don't wipe first, however the other way round is also possible, there are custom ROMs that will NOT work if you wipe, best look at the instructions from where you downloaded the custom ROM..)
flash update zip -> choose zip from sd card.

Android 4.x MIUI ROMs
WARNING: most MIUI-ROMs have SMS-confirmations turned on by default, which costs extra with many providers (like mine..) so check it before sending your first SMS and turn it off

Custom Kernels
I found a custom kernel that adds the option to overclock up to 2GHz. I'm used it running at 1.8GHz and it didn't seem to be any more unstable than before (I'm using the MIUI ROM which is a little bit instable all by itself already)
MOD EDIT: Link removed since you need to register to download the kernel, I also attached it MOD EDIT: Link removed to make it easier for you.
I also managed to build (and deploy) the 3.0.8 kernel sources provided by huawei myself, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23505650
With the help of the writer of rvoix I managed to adept our kernel in a way that rvoix works, but for the moment only mono so both parties mixed together in one channel (but recorded from the line, not only from the mic like most apps do). I attach the kernel that works with rvoix: View attachment boot_voc2.img.
Or for people wanting to build their kernels themselfs, here's the patch: http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/sour...pdragon/kernel/huawei_honor_u8860_rvoix.patch
UPDATE: Since our kernel sources don't work with B919 and later (non functional camera and wifi) I decided to go the other way round and modify the rvoix app to work with our kernel instead of adapting the kernel to work with the app. Here are the results: http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/downloads/detail?name=rvoix_mod_kaefert_v2.apk --> call recording that should work with all huawei honor 4.0.3 ROMs!
Various pointers
Adapting Chinese ROMs
Adding Google Apps (like the Market) --> Download zip from here http://goo-inside.me/gapps and flash it with recovery
Remove unwanted chinese system apps --> I do it with QtADB --> http://qtadb.wordpress.com/ But I guess you can also do it with some root app management apps
Change to languages that are not choosable in the standard language setting --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
Reading chinese sites
People who don't use google chrome or the chromium project (yet) probably don't know, that it has a really nice built-in translating feature, thats very useful for finding your way arround all these chinese (or russian) websites, and much better then using translate.google.com (or other such services) manually with other browsers.
Miscellaneous
Silent Huawei camera (ICS)
I was annoyed one day by all the noises the huawei camera simulates. Therefore I investigated and found out how to make it silent.

Enabling logcat output on huawei phones

Sorry guys, but there won't be any updates by me anymore. I've moved on to Sony Xperia Z. The notoriosly low memory problem finally did it. (And Ingress)

Hi guys.
I've just cleaned this thread and would like to remind everyone about some points, so that they're not repeated in the future, and explain all the missing links you may notice.
Warez is strictly forbidden on XDA. Please do not link to websites that provide it, or to ROMs that contain pirated apps.
Kernels are licensed under the GPL. This means that the kernel's source should be provided. If it is not, it's illegal and will be treated as warez as far as XDA is concerned. In simpler terms: if you're posting a link to a ROM that contains a kernel, or a kernel, make sure the kernel's source is available and link to it as well.
Recoveries that aren't based on stock and that use a zImage (which is covered by the GPL) must also be provided along with the source.
Links to competing or commercial websites are not allowed. Links to websites that require registration to access downloads are also not allowed (there are exceptions, please see rule #11 for more info.)
Credits must be given, and you must have permission to share the work. Assuming that you do: if this goes against the point above, you may mention the member/website without linking directly to his work. Point #2 still applies - a link to the kernel's source must be provided if necessary.
I realize this may have caused links to your favorite custom ROMs to be removed, and I apologize about that. Many of you clearly put a lot of effort into building, maintaining and helping with this index. However, all posts must respect the rules first and foremost.
Please PM me if you have any questions or if you need further clarification.
Thanks for understanding.
Hey thanks so much for helping with this. I followed your guides and managed to get my Honor rooted and on an ICS version. Thanks so much.

Well, I've been using it for 2 days now. I wouldn't call it stable, it has some rough edges, sometimes some system app crashes (like in the beginning I had a problem with the SMS-app), and I've had 2 complete system crashes (forced reboot) while running oruxmaps for navigation & gps-logging with my byclicle.
Check with you, if i installed the custom recovery, and root, can i revert back to stock by flashing via the settings menu or the vol/power button combination and stock rom in load directory?

Well the settings menue doesn't contain the huawei upgrade option in every ROM (for example not in the MUIU ROM), but the volumn up+down while booting will probably work, I haven't tried though. The upgrade directory however has to be call "dload", not "load".
To revert back to a previous ROM I find it much better to use the nandroid backup and recover options that every recovery image I saw yet contains. However be careful, the recovery-v8.img posted on some other places is instable and crashes before the backup is finished. you won't be able to recover such an incomplete backup. Always check if you have some backup complete message, it should NOT reboot automatically after making a backup.

What is in MIUI rom better than the official rom that you like?

Well the MIUI ROM has much more configuration options, for example you have a statusbar settings page where you can choose between default battery icon, percentage number or the top pixel row in green. Or also the MIUI theme chooser is really nice.
Another useful thing is the permission manager thats included that (if you config it that way) asks you whenever an app tries to use a permission that its defined to require. for example if you have an app that has the permission to send sms then the permission manager will ask you the first time that the app really sends an sms if you want to allow or deny it, and also if you want to save your choice or if it should ask next time again.

Hmm. Well the only ideas I have:
1.) Theres a 2G+3G / 2G only switch, in the MIUI ROM I linked in my first post you can reach it like this:
Home Screen --> Settings --> More... (4th point under the heading Wireless & Networks) --> Mobile Networks --> Only 2G-Networks
If that switch is on, than obviously your phone won't connect to a 3G network
2.) Your not in range of a 3G network?
Apparently there is bootloop issue for the newly released MIUI ROM 2.3.23 over at MOD EDIT: Link removed.

The ROMs that I know of and that I've tried you find in the first post. I found the loader (=desktop) of the non-MIUI ROMs to be faster and snappier. (However, the MIUI is more feature-rich)
Okay thanks alot I think I'm gonna give MIUI a try. Downloaded the latest version from the MIUI website. Have you tried any CM Release?

As far as I know there is no CM (cyanogenmod) ROM for the Huawei U8860
