I believe that WM6VoIP.CAB is for pocket pc.

well, i instaled it on my SPV E650, the plugin appears on the home screen but it says something like "Appels Internet: Service bloqué"... i think that Orange France does not allowed us to get acces or something like that.
Who knows how to make it work ?

Has anyone found a way to make voip work with this S710 device? Does it work with the .cab in this thread? I am desperately in need for such a solution.

I've now added a page showing you how to dump the ROM and extract files from it. It uses pdocread and viewimgfs.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Vox_HowToDumpRom

how to reflash tutorial would be useful
now that i have the dump, a reflash tutorial would be great

I also dumped my ROM according to the wiki, but I'm afraid there are files missing. For example "coredll.dll" (539040 bytes) which is read-only, hidden, system and in ROM does not appear in my dump. I found unicode references in Part00 or Part01, but the viewimgfs tool can not extract from these parts.
Anyhow, ftg888 is right, a flash tut would be highly appreciated

I've just updated the page with info on the Okta Boss (www.oktamobile.com) which was just released in New Zealand by Telecom NZ yesterday.
It seems to be a hybrid between the HTC S710 and S730, but is CDMA based.
I just recieved one today, so I'll be posting updates as I play with it...
Later'ish

Hi everyone
I wanted to share some good information and experiences I had with my phone as above
1. Backlight failure: Phone kept going black/no screen image. These people did a great job fixing it for me:
http://www.turnonyourmobile.com
Tel: 020-8543-7417
They are in Wimbledon and fixed the phone in 24 hrs. Price was just under £64all in (vat, carriage etc). This saved having to send phone back to Korea. I purchased it from an e bay shop, but no warranty passed along.
2. Software: ROM flash upgrade: this one worked really well for me.
See this link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Vox & this one for the ROM
(but please follow all instruction to the letter!)
This was the very best link: Dr. Martin Gonzo's WM6.1 ROM
Download from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376564
3. If you have problems with flashing, download this MS tool: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8C-D587-47E0-908B-09FEE6EA517A&displaylang=en
4. Follow instructions carefully, different security settings may assist, but remember to reinstate the settings later
5. I am now a very happy owner of this phone and it does more than the original one I received
Enjoy your Phone

Wiki is being updated. I have added SPL flashing instructions. I will create a glossary as well.

OK, I made some changes. I created a separate page for USPL and linked it on the flashing page and on the main page!
EDIT: I also added some stuff to the glossary!

in china it's named C730..

I moved the ROM list to a separate page and put a link to it near the top.

I added some overclock info regarding the Rose V0.4 rom. It should work for other roms but at the moment its a manual setting - I cant get TornadoPowerControl to work.

New Hemli_c Rom For Apache...Thx Hemi!!!

This is a new rom which is still in the testing phases but works fantastic as I have been using it for a week. Here is a quote from Hemi_c post over at PPCGeeks.com
Quote from Hemli_c "the rom is with newest core available for apache device, and the rom size is big fat, so that why it can contain a lot of more space then any other rom for apache exist ( u might check my R2 it has a lot of big size APP) that will not possible with the current exist rom for apache...
the rom has a lot of new stuff, MMS 3.5.1.23 (Available is v3.0.16.16 ancient version), And WMP /Ringtones capabilities is now equal to newest hermes since it hub and Direct Show are new version (AAC, 3GP, AMR, MP4, Mp3, WMA, Wav, Midi, etc can be ringtone and play it with Windows Media Player), OS BUILT is 5.1.478 (old is 5.1.195), and other advantage and also its built with new kitchen method... but it still in testing phase... so some might not work correctly... For example WModem will not work if Microsoft Voice Commander is active... and anything else that I didn't know yet... please report issue when u hv them..."
Link to the rom: ftp://ppcgeeks:[email protected]/Apache/helmi_c/New_Core/helmi_APACHE_2.60.10_WWE_R2.rar

Hello from venezuela
Ok
That ROM is used for any operator as I telephone?
I am of Venezuela and have an installed AKu 3,5 in my apache and is compatible with my mobil Serbian operator.
It´s possible to clarify this point to me.
He excuses my English but he is quite bad
Luck and successes

Yes, any Apache rom should work as long as it is not designated as a carrier specific rom. For instance, some of the custom roms have the Sprint ExtRom built in. However, this rom from Helmi should work for all Apaches.

THANK YOU
Just wanted to say THANK YOU
I have a sprint ppc-6700 and upgraded my rom to CE and just did a quick test so far so good..
I do have one question.. would it be possible to get a "basic/light" version of the ROM without so many apps installed.
For example without, Adobe reader, voice command, all the ringtones/pictures, SPB, etc...
Please let me know and thank you again for all your hard work

Why?
Just disable the stuff. It is not taking up any of your usable memory. Also, check out some of the custom roms that are available at ppcgeeks.com. They are all based off of Helmi's previous releases of 3.3 and 3.5

thank you for the suggestion for PPCGeeks... i went over there and downloaded/installed the "Clean and simple AKU 3.5 for the Sprint Apache"
seems to be just what I wanted.. thank you again

Do I need to flash back to the original rom in order to use this rom. Im getting an erro message that says Im trying to install on the wrong type of device.. Im using a sprint ppc-6700.. If you dont want to post here, you can email me directly at [email protected] with instructions..

how to download this rom
i can not down thru ftp server that i dont have user name and pass

Note that the newest ROM is now R4 and the link on the first page won't work as the files have all been re-arranged. I'm happily using a ROM I created from R3, as the R4 Kitchen seems to have some issues along with it's "creamy goodness".
If you go to the ppcgeeks FTP site and browse to Apache;Latest Kitchen, you'll see the new Kitchen.

[ROM] Official HTC FROYO Android 2.2 FILE for Manual Update via HTC SYNC (OTA file)

UPDATED Aug 19, 2010: New Link, for Mirror to ROM. Original was pulled.
Get it here: http://bit.ly/cIXo91
This thread has been updated with great HOW TO VIDEO by XDA member darren rich who demystified a bunch of elements -- making this user-friendly for people with both UNBRANDED HTC Desire phones (GSM) -- and Branded phones -- which can be converted into unbranded phones first, by using the Goldcard process -- which he discusses.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This thread shows you how to update your HTC Desire GSM phone to Android version 2.2, Froyo, MANUALLY, using a WindowsPC computer, running the application "HTC Sync", connecting to your phone via USB cable. It's for usage if you have not been able to update Over The Air (OTA) -- and will provide you the exact same end result.
This is official HTC Software. This is for UNROOTED phones, phones that have only had official software that was originally installed, or OTA official updates. In other words:
teppic74 said:
You do not need to root your phone to run an RUU. These are official HTC updates that are designed for recovery or for people who cannot upgrade OTA.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
RUU means "Rom Upgrade Utility" -- For unbranded phones, this process is straight forward. However if you have a branded phone, you have to add another step, and it's very important. It's also explained within...
teppic74 said:
Since this RUU is restricted to unbranded phones, you need a "goldcard" to bypass the check if you have a branded phone.

The thread combines (A) information from a previous thread posted by "football" [ROM] RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8 whichincluded the key download link to the primary Froyo file, which was posted by the good people at Shipped-Roms.com, with (B) much clarifying information from Darren and other posters from that thread.
Quick Overview
1. Download 3 files you'll need -- to a Windows machine.
a) "HTC Sync" software that runs on WindowsPCs only. It is the program that puts the initial software on your phone via USB cable.
Get it here: http://www.htc.com/europe/supportDownload.aspx?p_id=312&cat=3&dl_id=933
b) The main ROM -- a .exe file -- located here: (REVISED LINK as of Aug 19, 2010)
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
See that same file in full context here: (Note: Unfortunately, this page, perhaps that whole site, was pulled, Account suspended)
c) The update to the main ROM -- a zip file -- which will be copied to your phone thru USB cable, not executed thru "HTC Sync". It is located here, from HTC's site:
http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip
2. Read Darren's Blog Post, it has good instructions.
3. Watch his Video. It's easy. You'll feel ready to go.
More Details - About That ROM:
NOTE: "HTC BRAVO" = "HTC DESIRE" . Bravo was the original codename used by HTC before the Desire was actually released. You can confirm that by looking at the "DEVICE DATABASE" that is linked to from the top of every page on XDA-developers, under the XDA logo. All versions of the HTC Bravo/ Desire.

I apologize; I do not know the answer to this. I posted this information prior to performing this installation on my own DESIRE. I will be doing that tomorrow (Sat Aug 14). The reason I posted it is that the thread it is based upon took 22 posts before it was explained WHAT it was, what it dis, how to do it. I thought it could be useful to re-package the information.
I also posted a disclaimer... But after I perform this update tomorrow, I will come back and reply here and tell you what I have found. I am assuming (but i do not know one way or another) that this will be information listed on the same screen that shows firmware version # ?

Hi, could you explain, if you know, how the two differ, and who should use which? thank you

they don't differ it's your, just made a mirror in case your link dies?

Anybody having issues on the original stock sense unrooted 2.2 ROM? In every Sense 2.2. custom rom I tried I couldn't add more than one gmail account. I then tried unrooting and did the OTA update to 2.2. Same thing, still can't add more than 1 gmail acccount.
So I downgraded and rooted again and tried OpenDesire and could add more gmail accounts without problems. Then I tried a Sense 2.2 custom ROM and again, I coudn't add more than 1 gmail account.
So now I'm thinking to do the unroot with the RUU exe and see if it helps?

Huawei U8860 Honor / Honour / Glory - Index

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
Chinese ROMs (can be changed to english): http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3884&tb=1

a comprehensive german list of stock ROMs can be found here:
MOD EDIT: Link removed.
(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:

or here: http://kaefert.is-a-geek.org/huawei_honor/B919_official.7z
Root and Google-Apps for Stock ROMs
NEW: Rooting method for stock ICS B919/B923/B924 (and perhaps others older ICS)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28403132&postcount=799
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!

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
If your on stock ROM its quite easy, just dial *#*#2846579#*#* and enable logging in the project menu
For custom ROMs, I got a link from paul, but I didn't try it:

UPDATE
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)
There's a newer list of custom ROMs here:

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.

You're welcome. However, for the future, if theres nothing you want to say but to give thanks to someone for a post above yours, don't answer with a post of your own, but just use the "thanks" button. Thats what it was made for.
However if there are some questions or some obscurities in my post, feel free to ask.

Sir, does the miui rom is stable for daily use,

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.

Hi, Sorry for my bad english, i have a awesome huawei honor, and i do all things that u describe in your post and run perfect but, i'm from mexico and y dont have 3G conection just Edge, do you know a way to resolve that? Thanks

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.
My experience is that I got stuck at the splashscreen as well.
I have download another at MIUI main site : MOD EDIT: Link removed.
and it works OK. Some portions of the UI are with Chinese texts and a few Chinese apps but overall still OK.

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?

Got a QiKU 360 N4, tutorial to unlock bootloader is in chinese. Halp!

I hope this is the right thread.
Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

I've sent you a message however I don't think you'll manage without knowing chinese
The tool they use is to unlock the bootloader and it's a proprietary tool.

I'm sorry but I did not have time yesterday. I don't have access to a proper computer so I am using my raspberry pi to do all this. Since it does not have a photo editor I am working on a google slide document that will be accessible by link. I'll post it here as fast as I am done
---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------
Here is how far I have come. I assume you have to download a bunch but at least the company gives you information. I've heard numerous people who buy Chinese phones and are stuck with whatever software they offer.

Yeah there is no chance to write a custom rom because the kernel source is never being given by Mediatek.
However having the ability to backup and play around with the stock firmware is great.

True, I like how it has become a meme that "I'll die before mtk releases their sources".

Any more news on this? Loving my N4 so far, but would like to install TWRP and gapps, but not quite sure how. Have read somewhere that Kingroot has worked on other Qiku/360 phones but haven't got that far myself. Any chance you could send me that link to me too, your googling skills are clearly far superior to my own!

Hi.
I wiped my data from the stock recovery and now i am stuck at boot logo.I don't know how that happened.but i think i have to flash stock firmware which i cant find anywhere.
Qiku forum is unresponsive and there is no other place with info of this rare phone.
Help me out here please

help me please! I.want to unlock my QIKU N4S, but i can not download from chinese forum. thank you a lot！

Bootloader unlock - HERE
Found some ROM's also .... Althought, You'll Need TAMPERMONKEY and Baidu Download Script for Tampermoney
ROM'S - HERE and other Tools + rom's HERE
There is a whole Qiku N4 forum but it's in chinese .... didnt have time to bother with it,
since it requires to be registered ...
And, as bonus ...
I found Russian modified ROM's ....

Hello Alex,
Those links are sadly down.
Do you know any other link to a stock N4 image and scatter file that I could use to factory-reset a pattern-locked N4 ? I got my hands on a discarded one, but the factory reset option in recovery mode requires that cloud account be first deleted, which I can't to because of the pattern lock.
Thanks !
EDIT :
Sorry, I spoke too fast. I gave another try and the links are up, though in chinese. I'll try to get what I can. Thank you !

Is the cell phone on your hand 360n4? This cell phone has two versions of 360n4 and 360n4s

Yes, it a 360N4, not a 360N4S.
What I'm trying to do is follow that howto : http://www.cnroms.com/360-n4-061-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery.html to downgrade it, then factory reset it and install TWRP.
However, I can't read chinese (can't even tell whether it's cantonese or mandarin). Google Translate helps, but most link seem to be broken, and when they're not, the download speed is abysmally slow (several days…).
Is there any way you could help me ? Maybe get the needed files and reupload them somewhere faster ?
