Hi,
I got the Huawei Ascend G525 as a gift from brother in law living in china, and now I am in a bind that it does not have the google play, i installed it using the apk file for google play but the whole UI is in Chinese settings , and the usual Chinese OS version issues for english user >_< , I managed to find and download German firmware (sorry forgot the link to post where it was) and tried to install it but the update failed. Further research led me to believe that i have to unlock its bootloader and I tried to use the method on huawei site (using adb toolkit) but for that i need bootloader unlock key and the site options to get key from huawei does not have G525 in list, so I am back to square one, Please let me know how i can unlock bootloader of Huawei G525 and if there is a new firmware I can use or something like flashing phone rom with Odin (I did flash my galaxy tab 2.0 with odin with new UK firmware)
The Android version is 4.1.2
and firmware file name, i download is Ascend_G525_firmwareú G525-U00,Android 4.1,Emotion_UI,G525-U00 V100R001C00B188,West_Europe
my mobile current firmware is G525-U00V100R001CHNC00B180
Please any help will be useful.

If you tell me the block name of recovery I will make backup for you
Until I´m not 100% sure which block it is I will not replace stock recovery against cwmr.

I don't know how to determine the block name my handset's recovery... how do I know that? Thanks...
my fear is, that we both have problems for flashing.
The unlock code for the bootloader you can get from huawei directly.
I tried this on my European version, but this will not be offered from Huwaei ( only chinese versions).
So I´m still not able to flash chinese Rom (b191) or any other Miui or Lewa Rom ,...
I also confirm the lack of bootloader unlock request in Huawei's website.
What did you do to get the bootloader unlock code? Did you send an e-mail? Where?
I also find myself in a dead end, because I try to get a backup of the current ROM in the phone, connect succesfully through adb (downloaded drivers from here ) however following instructions from here:I can not connect the device with "fastboot devices" (i get to Huawei Device devices in windows device manager with yellow exlamation mark and the phone has been booted in a pink background, i think this is the bootloader mode because I have done it with all three buttons, power, vol+, vol-). Do you think this is a locked bootloader problem?
Late reply and updates
Hi,
Sorry for not following post, (i think i accidently turned off the option to inform me of new replies via email)
I tried emailing to both the german support email and the chinese, chinese support email gave me no reply even though i mailed them 3 times, but german one did and said that my phone is from china so they can't provide any support,
I tried to talk to them on facebook and local Huawei support center, facebook, no help, though someone else was willing to him and thanks to him poiting to way how to install english super use i am able to see almost all system messages in english, and as for the local support, since its not launched here they said they can't do anything,
The problem at hand was that it was not launched any where else, so no english version firmware i could find,
I almost bricked phone when i played with the "sorry forgot name" sytem file where it said to include the contact mismatch to 10 so that i can see the contacts name in the messages (its from china so least match is 11) and thanks to my luck i was able to upgrade firmware to b191 from b180 on 3rd try and since then i am scary cat to do anything with phone,
and now i read that its being launched in UAE, so looking forward if they put new firmware download on english website, (hoping they dont wait for an update to put it on website and put the current stock one)
please update me if you can get your hands on new english firmware , ty

I send a short Email to [email protected] asking for the unlock code on saturday 7-12-2013.
Dear sir/madam,
I tried applying for a bootloader unlock code at unlock url which I cannot post because of XDA forum restricting me, but my device (Ascend G525) was not listed. I supply the data via this mail in the hope to get a bootloader unlock code via this way instead.
Product Model: Huawei Ascend G525

That's the good news, the bad news is that as far as connecting to my device I got as far as you got. As I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 64bit I added the usb rule needed for Huawei devices. It shows up when I execute "./adb devices". When I boot into hboot/fastboot mode by pressing the volume buttons and the on button I get the pink screen, but it does not show up when I run "./fastboot devices".
Anybody who knows how I can get fastboot to connect to a Huawei G525?
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------
My bad, I thought I was starting the device in fastboot mode, but the pink screen denotes the download mode. I looked up the instructions to start the device into fastboot mode at sigmakey[dot]com. The complete list of steps that I followed were
Remove battery for >= 10 seconds
replace the battery
hold volume down and power button
when the screen locks on the Huawei logo you're in fastboot mode
connect the device via USB
run:" fastboot devices" and see if it's listed
run: "fastboot oem unlock [unlockcode]"
HUAWEI ASCEND G525 bootlock?
Got my phone 6 days ago. Rooted it.
Third day I messed it up by deleting languages (stupid, but selected them with a cleaner & removal tool).
I formatted a micro sd card, downloaded original firmware, started up in the installation mode but while busy unpacking, "installation failed".
Is it because of a bootlock? or is it something else.
Is there an boot unlocker for download for the G525? The phone doesn't start up, so I can only work out of the boot menu or sd card.
All tips are welcome.
try again

Where did you buy your phone from? Mine is from china , the bootunlocker is required to install custom rom (what i came to conclusion, from forums etc, corrsct me if it isn't the case), or rom other than compatible one, my has CHN in its firmware name and the firmware from chinese sites can only be used to update chinese firmware, i wanted to install the german firware for google play(now i achv through apk) and msg and phone number string match(Still found no soluton for it).
Now coming to your issue, i accidently deleted a system file too and phone won't start, so i downloaded firmware , copied the update folder as instructed in the pdf with it, but installation failed, being desperate, i tried again and again , and it would fail some point during extraction, but then on 6th or 7th attempt the file went threw, so either take your phone to support center best solution i would say, or try installing it a few times, try using a different sd card with better speed, but sorry cannot give a conclusive solution. ( Haven't messed with phone again )

I live - and bought mine - in Holland (the Netherlands).
I downloaded firmware too but when in download mode and with SD card in, the update stops ("Update failed").
How did your rom/firmware come trough? By updating from sd card or by downloading update directly from sd card?
Which firmware or rom did you download?
Ask Huawei support center
Hi,
First is there no support center for Huawei in your area ? In my case i got the mobile as gift from china and since this model G525 is not launched in my country, the support center refused on any support regarding firmware, so i went to chinese site http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/ and got the firmware from there, my previous firmware was B180 and then i updated it to B191 (currently available on china site).
Second where did you download the firmware from ? Because when i was trying to install the firmware from europe or us etc, (main reason the contacts least string match issue) , i could not find any firmware file on those sites, i went through all the sites, I even emailed german support , and they refused that they don't have any firmware, duh, because my mobile IMEI was not in their data base , (no ****), i do manage to find one posted by someone while going throw forums, but it failed to install, which lead me to believe i need bootunlock code
As for the update is concerned, I am not sure what are you asking about updating from SD card or downloading from SD card ? The only method Huawei G525 have is to download file to computer, extract it, put the update folder in the formatted sd card and then start the phone with volume keys so it start downloading file from sd card and then update firmware. Even the option from the settings to update firmware requires the same, just that , phone start itself in download mode and start the same process.
Like i said i don't have a specific answer why the update is failing, but most probably because the firmware you are trying to install does not support the current you have, I don't know why the hell they would put a restriction in update package to lock down it with previous firmware region. Since you might not know which firmware you previously had the new one might not support the old version, like B191 requires to have B182 or higher version, (wtf) mine came with B180, and there is no B182 or higher available for download, so it could be your phone has old firmware, not supported by current, so all i can say is better take it to customer service, and ask them for help,
and the method i mentioned is was just hit and trial, i was just desperate, so i kept phone pushing to update it.
Let me know if you find any better solution or how to install other firmwares

Thanks for this Link.
I had managed to find this online shop at Taobao.com which is able to remote flash the Nokia 6 TA-1000 stock firmware ROM, for a fee RMB100.
He will give you the download link to download the ROM, driver, flash tool & remote access software, then he will remote access your PC and flash the ROM from his side.
Had flashed my phone using his service, and turned out great, now I am able to get official update for the phone.

- Yes
Did it also come with the installation of the google play stall and the play services?
- It installed the 00CN_3_17A_SP, with the Google framework, but without Play Store. You just need to install the Play Store apk it yourself. Now I had updated it via official OTA to 00CN_3_31C.

Hi, I waited until the following night to flash coz I need to download the ROM (1.5GB 7z zip file), and I wasn't free during daytime.
Did you message him through Taobao messenger service? You need to chat with him there.
I can upload the nb0 file, but I couldn't find a working flashing tool to flash the file, ended up I still have to rely on his service. Hence, you need to find the flashing tool yourself, coz the one I found online gave me an error and couldn't flash.
During flashing, he logon to a server and flashed the file at my terminal using remote access.
I will upload the file tonight, after I got home after work.
If you upload it, at least we can have the original rom, surely a flash tool will appear.
By the way, I have a ta-1000 with the April patch and google services installed.

You need 7z to unzip the file, do not use winrar, it will give you an error.

You need to find a proper flash tool, e.g. Software Update Tool.
I had tried many software, none is able to flash this nb0 file.
Status Update
Hi guys, finally flashed my phone with the seller and i got to say i am quite satisfied with it. The seller was very patient and help me flash my phone 2 times cause after the first flash i went and update the phone and then the phone went to an eternal boot screen. The seller told me that Nokia the new Nokia update have bugs on the latest patch and it will bring you to an eternal boot screen if you update it cause of update failure so now my latest update is July and some of the apps which seems to have problem with the old version of the flash(april one) is gone.

You're welcome!
With genuine stock ROM, the brand and model should be listed separately, like "Brand: Nokia, Model: TA-1000"
Only when flashed with TA-1003 ROM, it will show as "Nokia / TA-1000".

It seems like there are a few people having trouble going back to stock and getting everything working.
As always, this requires an unlocked bootloader. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader then search google for a $5 service that does. It is what I did.
I flashed Project treble on my TA-1054. It worked great except it kept saying "insert SIM" when there was already a sim card inside, so I could not use it.
I tried to go back to stock but that firmware file on that google drive thread was corrupted, bad upload. Took me a few days to source this original firmware.
There is a tool called OST ( around 115MB), and a patch that comes with it (the smaller file less than 1MB)
The firmware is almost 2 GB
Download everything, including firmware.
1. Install the OST tool.
2. Replace the EXE file in the program files with the patch file you downloaded.
3. Delete the Onlineupdatetoolexe.config file. If you don't do this, the program will not start correctly.
4. Put phone into download mode ( either by powering it off, pluging into USB cable and immediately hold power and volume down. Or if you can boot into android with ADB debugging, just do a adb reboot bootloader.
5. Pick firmware file and click next.
THe first 2 times I tried this, It hanged at the last second. Third time was a charm. Give it time. Use a good USB cable.
I assume that this is the same way to flash other firmware files for other devices.
As soon as i get my hands on a android one firmware, I will flash it.
Or if anyone can guide me on how to extract the firmware on my TA-1045 USA version and flash it to my TA-1054 Chinese , let me know. Cheers.
Google drive folder with all the files I uploaded.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NbzO6lfSGacjM2wqrtBg3jMpljsZswne
Thanks bro...I am downloading it.
PL2-2380-0-00WW-B01.NBx.zip is global firmware name. firmware size is 4gb.
thanks! for extract is with nb0 tools FIH Mobile v3.4
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cSgjrZUxIsN7oLbo7AP-RnILDZdswmB-
its android one firmware. I have no tool for flash...plz try and let me know
Flashing now. Will report back after flashing is done. thanks!!
Edit: Looks like the version I have for OST does not read NBX files. Will try to update that and report back. I have ntool but no working username password
I cannot flash the NBX file. I changed it to nb0 but OST LA says cannot read firmware. Is there any other way to flash?
EDIT: I went ahead and purchased a bunch of credits for NTOOL.
I will flash and see if it works!
It fails with the mdtp.img partition (no such partition) . I would think that it would just skip that partition but it did not. I will later try to extract and flash separately
For some reason when I try to flash the golabl firmware using ntool, my bootloader gets locked after the mdtp flashing fails and I have to re-unlock my bootloader and flash the original 7.1 chinese firmware using the OLD version of OST. ( the new one kept saying firmware corrupt)
When I bought the credits for Ntool, I also got access to the downloads section so I will be uploading all the firmwares they have, ( there is like 5 different ones)
I was reading how the nokia &+ users are converting their chinese variants to global variants using the android P beta rom.
We also have a P beta rom so I will be trying to install that to see if it works or not.
As some of you may realize, I am determined to make this happen! The reason is because my USA android One version has only 3gb of ram but the chinese version comes with 4GB.

As some of you may realize, I am determined to make this happen! The reason is because my USA android One version has only 3gb of ram but the chinese version comes with 4GB.

can u flash my chinese rom which is nbo format via ntool. I have have ntool but i dont have user name,password, i downloaded rom which u provide.my device still cant connect to mobile data.
NBX format only works on Ntool. but Ntool needs working user name and password to works. OST cant read or flash Nbx format.
if u get Ntool with working user id .. then plz flash my device also via remote mode like teamviewer.
Ntool Bricked my device. the only real restore you can do is by using ost with the stock chinese firmware. edit your apn. why is your data not working?
Global rom cant flash via ntool in Ta1054..showed error in partition. if it will be solved then china to global will be easy process..
I'm eagerly watching your progress. I'm in the same boat sitting on a TA-1054 wanting to get on Oreo without chinese firmware :x
Keep up the good work. It is really appreciated!
Edit: By the way, are the custom and original chinese firmware files available anywhere?
I saw someone mention a firmware in the google drive for TA-1054 but I'm uncertain whether that is the official one or the custom one.
Its the Chinese official ROM you get it from Google drive folder in Nokia 6 mena firmware topic

Actually, the one in the mena topic was corrupted for me.
I have uploaded a good version in the first post of this thread. I've only had success flashing it wih OST.
But yesterday Ntool bricked my phone. No download mode, no screen, no usb recognition with windows. I am not really sure what to do now. If i can't get my pc to recognize it then the phone might be dead./ I may do a warranty exchange when i go visit china next month but if they check my bootloader, they will void my warranty. anyone know how to unbrick?
Also. The nokia 7+ forums said that if you flash the android P beta rom, then the chinese vaqriant becomes gloabl.
I went ahead and downloaded the android P beta for 6.1 but now that the phone is bricked I can't really test anything. I will sell my extra 1045 before i get curious and brick that too.

Can you share the link for P beta for 6.1?
Also, I own a TA-1054 model and I am in India. I ordered it from Amazon. It had Android One Oreo firmware preinstalled before I messed up and got loops. Later I flashed a GSI to at least boot it up.

Ahh I see. For some reason my sim slots were not working for me with GSI. But mine is dead now, so nothing I can do.
Here is the P link.

How to flash it?
Edit: Also OnlineUpdaterTool in your 1st post asks for a password. What's the password?

I put the original chinese firmware on the first post.
There is an option to install google play store, but that would make your rom unable to receive updates.
I own a Rog Phone 5s (ZS676KS) since one week and tried to install TWRP without success. The result was a bricked phone and stressful days with no prospect of a solution. In this forum I found the following tutorial and completed it successfully
Repair ROG Phone 5S through edl firmware, no need to unlock Bootloader to modify COUNTRY CN to WW
Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.

The update via the settings does not work, no update is found. So I downloaded the latest firmware from Asus and saved it in the internal memory. After restarting the phone I get a message that a system update is available, but it ends in an error message. I have tried the same with the previous firmware versions, but without success.
I would be very happy if someone has a solution to this problem.
You need to update the phone incrementally. You cant just go from the oldest version to the newest version through OTA updates....
Baby steps.
So i have to Update the next Version after the one i have and so on ?

I've done it.
You saved my day. Its working. Thank you !

Now i cant Install any Update past the Version WW-18.1220.2109.149. All before that worked fine.
edit: after a few tries i got it to work.
I've been looking for a way to "fix" this phone for almost 1 week now. I've disassembled it and managed to note an alphanumeric sequence on its motherboard which I believe is its model.
First things first: this phone's touch screen is not working, but I've checked the motherboard and it seems just fine, which led me to believe there's a problem with the firmware, then I've checked the firmware using recovery mode and it seemed odd, it seemed like the phone isn't using its original firmware.
Here's the info that I found using recovery mode:
SW Ver.
alps-mp-m0.mp1-V2.39 _magc6580.we.c.m_P32
Custom Build Veno. :
V207IF3_QHD1200_M_V1.0_2_16_20200808_1758_V1.0.5_B125_HUAX_V50C3_WELCOME_S20_PLUS_PRO_DS
I'm attaching pictures too.
This phone was handed to me, so I have no reference at all. I've searched everywhere I could online and I couldn't find this model for sale, I couldn't even find a phone that looks exactly like this, but some were pretty close, like the Huawei P40 and the S20+ Pro clone, but after searching for that alphanumeric sequence, which I believe it's the actual model number, I've come across the WOLKI WS680, but I couldn't find its firmware for downloading.
FLASHING A FLASHY PHONE
I've downloaded and tried to flash the ROM MT6580__MFT__I7__I7__6.0__alps-mp-m0.mp1-V2.39_magc6580.we.c.m_P21, which seems to be the same that was in the phone, but the phone didn't turn on anymore after this (I believe it bricked). I didn't take backup before doing this, please don't blame me, It's been many years since I've done this kind of thing on a Chinese phone.
Any other rom that I tried just throws a DRAM error in SP Flash Tools, I'm also not able to format the phone (it also throws an error).
The error:
ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR:1 - I need to find the right ROM firmware for this phone, please somebody give me a download link. A custom rom would be good too.
2 - I need to know which exactly is this phone's brand and model (because I need to know its hardware specs).
Please help me find at least the firmware.
Anyone?
Maybe it's the
Leioa Vapio Summilux (Mate 33 Pro) - Black Smart Phone 2021
but I don't know

got the firmware with scatter file?
Just as it says on the sticker, this phone is a Leioa Vapio summlux h1. It looks like some kind of Chinese clone or something.
Cool, but how can I find its firmware? The phone here is bricked.

I don't know and that's the problem with exotic phones. Good luck with that.
This kind of copied / rebranded phones can also be found outside of China. So, whenever you buy a smartphone be sure to reach an authorized seller or take a closer look at the phone’s aspects.
My recommendation: Ask phone's seller for help.
"This phone was handed to me, so I have no reference at all."
There's nothing I can do about talking to a seller. I'm here just asking for a rom that might work with this mediatek, it doesn't mean that it needs to be the Stock ROM.
Can anyone tell me a workaround for this? it doesn't need to be the stock rom.
these fake phones are low end trash devices running android 6 no LTE. you bricked working ROM for no reason so what?

You really want to know why I'm still insisting in this phone? It's a pride thing. Some douche needs to see this working. That's why. After I "fix" this, I'll take some photos of it, send them to the person and then I'll just get rid of it.
What's the password for MT6580__Q_MOBILE__V15_PRO__V15_PRO__6.0__ALPS-MP-M0.MP1-V2.39_MAGC6580.WE.C.M_P30.RAR? I'm not finding it in the list.
