Dude,thank you for those damn huawei drivers!
To root plz follow guide: http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/22/root-huawei-ideos-x3-blaze-u8510-install-clockworkmod-recovery/
but the unroot guide did not work possibly coz of GB(GingerBread) stock but after a few min i accentally when to storeage in settings and was able to recover back to GB stock.
the UNroot method is the same up to step 7 of the unroot guide(http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/24/how-to-unroot-the-huawei-ideos-x3-blaze-u8510/) ie:
Stock download source (http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...&directoryId=3372&treeId=0&tb=1&type=software) -get correct model number from behind the battery.
I. Before You Begin:
1. You must have a SD card formatted in FAT32 file system.(optional but not required, if already in use)
II. Downloading Required Files:
2. Download stock from manufactures source stated above (ie GB stcok for u8510-1 i believe there are only 2 one for tesc0 andPhones4U)
III. Unrooting the Huawei Ideos X3 Blaze (U8510):
1. Download and place the Stock ROM (zip file) on your Desktop.
2. Extract files from the Stock ROM archive to your Desktop. A dload folder should appear in the extract folder called dload and should contain UPDATE.app file.
3. With SD card inserted in your device, connect the device to your PC using the USB cable.( A message should appear click "turn on USB Storage" button)
Note: one can identify the sd card drive letter by the storage size,will not be exact size but approximation of size.
4. Copy dload folder and content to root of SD card (that is should be visible when sd card is opened possibly along with other folders)
5. Disconnect the device after the file has been copied.
Note:a) when the device is connected to PC it will be able to communicate with device, so may appear as its not there(connected to device)
b) plz backup all, as this process WILL DISTROY ALL DATA ON HANDSET!!
c) Check the folder and file is present in SD card by file manager-->sd Card
d) Lastly check batery level is full as a CRASH MAY BRICK THE HANDSET, So if not charge to full before going any further.!!!
Now Simply go to settings-->Storage-->Software Upgrade(scroll to bottom)-->SD Card Upgrade--> "confirm" --> "upgrade"
WILL TAKE "2 MINS"
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THIS PROCESS (OF 2 MINS)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP1/2 UNPACKING
and by 33% or progress bar reaching one third way, sign should change to read
STEP 2/2 INSTALLING
when completed the phone will boot 3 times with a few mins pause(each boot indicated with a virbration)
a WELCOME SCREEN should appear
"TAP GREEN ANDROID"
a sreen headed SETUP UP YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT
CLICK "SKIP"
a sreen headed USE GOOGLE LOCATION
CLICK "NEXT"
COMPLETED .....ENJOY
Hello, can you tell me how can I downgrade from version 3.1 to 3.0 of my Honor 6 H60 - L12 !
Downgrading from emui 3.1 to emui 3
THIS HAS BEEN POSTED BY A USER ASHISH 12. Though this works perfectly but thew way the description has been done its damn confusing. So first i'll post his original message and then explain it in detail as i slogged 2 hrs to get it going
1. FLASH BOOT.img, CUST.img, RECOVERY.img, SYSTEM.imgs from B370 via MULTI-TOOL( pretty straightforward)
2.FLASH BOOT.img,RECOVERY.img via fastboot from given link
(fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
3.PUT B309 UPDATE.APP in dload folder in SD CARD( external sd card and remove it from phone, but do not go into settings and unmount. Just remove it physically)
4.BOOT device with 3buttons UNPLUGGED from USB and SD card UNMOUNTED( unmounted means out of the device)
5.When u get installation screen MOUNT SD card As Far As Possible( when u do thr 3 button thing first u get honir screem once that is gone there is a momentary blank black screen , at that precise moment u push in the sd card before the updating starts.For that you must have the SD card inserted in thge slot but not pushed in)
6.After that PUT B370 UPDATE.APP dload folder in SD CARD(small pause at 19%)( once the update from above step is completed u get a update complete message and then device reboots. Pull out the sd card and in DLOAD folder now put B370 update.app, and follow same steps from step.4 onwards)
7.REPEAT 4&5 steps

Hello,
I have Huawei P9 EVA-L09C150B141, downloaded the latest version both B170 and B180, put it in dload folder on my sd card, but when I go to update my phone from menu, I don't get option to update with file from sd card. (only check update on web
In what way can I update my P9 with latest B180 firmware, since through menu I'm unable to do it, and it doesn't offer me update through any kind and type??
Thanks in advance
edit - founded explanation here - http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...huawei-p9-and-mate-8-is-available-get-it-now/ and was able to enter by dialing code in dialing app (project menu).
Downloaded update.zip to the root of the sd card, with dialing app go to "project menu", select software upgrade and then sd card upgrade and get info "no update available". then tried it again, this time put update.zip to the folder "dload" in root of sd, same again.
Then shutdown phone, and started it with power and volume keys together, and it says verifying update package, and it stops at 5% saying "software istall failed - the update package does not exist".
Any advice, help maybe???
Found solution, that is the update.zip file must be extracted to the folder "dload" on my sd card.

Hello,
Bevore I start: Please excuse the bad english.
A while ago I rooted my Huawei Mate 8 (Android 7, Emui 5) and installed root.
After a few months I tried to factory reset the phone. But instead of factory resetting I deleted the complete system.
After this I tried to recover the system (twrp) but I didn't manage it. Then i tried to recover via Huawei and it said that I unlocked the bootloader/installed root and they can't recover.
After that I was so "smart". I uninstalled root and relocked the bootloader.
Do I have any chance to recocover the system or do I have to throw it away?
Thank you in advance:

It will install the ROM again and will fix it.

Hi there, do you know which brand is your device? Is it Chinese version, or international version? Trust me, my device was bricked multiple times, and I was always able to recover it.
Share the info I asked for and I might be able to give you some tips on how to recover it.

Hi,
I have the international version of the mate 8. (NXT-L29C432B582; FRP Lock; Bootloader relocked)
Thank you for dealing with my problem.
Got almost same problem. I've got C432B581 version.
I got nothing but TWRP now.
Can you tell me how to install clean system version step by step?
All right, both of you can use the below method, if done correctly, you should be up and running in a short time.
Read, and follow the instructions carefully. The operation consists in downgrading and rolling back your OS to Android 6. Do not worry, once rolled back to 6, your device will still get prompts to update and you can upgrade to Nougat if you want.
First thing first: open this pdf link which includes the instructions: https://bit.ly/2KYAEhS
Second: download the rolling pkg NXT-L29_from Android 7.0_EMUI 5.0_to Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C900B500: https://bit.ly/2GUtI2X
Third: Download NXT-L29C432B192 version here: https://bit.ly/2JcxJ8a
Now, I am sure you are unable to mount and access the Micro SD card by plugging the phone on your computer. So your alternative would be either to mount the SD card directly in your computer if your computer has a Micro SD slot, or use another cell phone that can be mounted, insert the micro SD card in order to transfer the first file.
Mount the Micro SD card and look in the rood of the SD card for ''dload'' folder without quotes, if you are unable to find the folder, simply create one
The 2 files are in zip format so you have to unzip them. Start with the first file, the rolling pkg. Extract ''update. app'' to your computer first and then move it under the ''dload'' folder in your Micro SD card.
Now the fun part can start and hopefully your phone will revive from the dead
With the phone powered off Press and hold simultaneously the power button, and volume up and down buttons, this will force the phone to enter in update mode. You can let go off the buttons once the update start.
These instructions and a couple of other ones are in pdf file. Read and follow carefully and you should be good to go.
Good luck!

So its the same story like I got now
Guys, once you install the rollback package, you still have to move the ''update.app'' file you extracted from the second file, put it into the ''dload'' folder and perform a force update again
I cant install rollback. Error at 24%

Hi.
for unlocking the bootloader, you must check "OEM unlocking" in developer option.
check it and try again.
