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:

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
Sadly, these ROMs have serious RAM-problems, multi-tasking was quite impossible the last time I tried one of those (any app I tried to put into background was imediatly terminated)

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.

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?

cbr900 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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?

Nice Rom
Thanks @avi sir for this beautiful rom. Successfully flashed and booted. Initially experienced network and 3G problem but resolved after replacing the modem.img from stock backed up rom. After use of 4 days following minor bugs are noticed.
1. After patching with provided theme engine all themes can be downloaded and applied successfully. But, the same reverted to original theme automatically.
2. Battery backup is normal.
3. Weather application can not search the current location automatically. It always shows Nagpur. Need to search manually by putting name of city.
4. Incomming calls overlapping by the home screen.
5. Sound very low as compared to previous MIUI V6. I specially request you to please release the patch for sound and volume so that we can get a loud sound like previous MIUI V6.
7. Found UI slightly slow hence request to please release patch to make it fast.
Thanks again for such a bountiful rom.

Patch file of modem.img
I just added the stock rom "modem_1_3g_n.img" on this patch file. Now 3g network is working fine in my phone.

Modem.ini file
I see in this ROM has modem_1_3g_n.img file. Can any one upload me modem.img file which suites and work 3g in this ROM.
Do i need to replace it with image.img or modem_1_3g_n.img . Which name i need to keep?

OTA 5.5.15
Hi avi i downloaded OTA update 5.5.15 and successfully patche to 5.3.31. but only problem is when i open camera "Insert SD card before using camera" error, please suggest how tosolve.

google playstore not working
Hello... My google play store isn't working.... Its showing.... Check your connection and try again... But my internet speed is good...! How to fix it?

Please keep the MIUI project alive....
First I'd like to thank Dr. Avinash & all who has worked hard for porting the awesome MIUI roms. Perhaps its the coolest & speediest rom for Xolo q3000. Other roms look quiet flat & stereotype after using this one.
I'm using the previous build v5.2.25 beta1. I'm willing to flash the newer version since but has some questions regarding this rom. I'm fond of this rom & using it on daily basis with minor hiccups.
My existing version (v5.2.25) giving me problems like
(1) No network on lock screen
(2) Losing Network signal sometime (didnt flash the modem.img zip as I'm not confident enough)
(3) android.process.media crashing sometimes; dnt know if its for for memory swap (Flashed with the Memoryfix.zip from the new MIUI version)
(4) apk files cant be received via bluetooth.
Quaries regarding MIUI build 5. 4.41
(1) Does this version uses the same camera app like the previous build(5.2.25), since after flashing the camera image quality got much better. Some are complaining updated version camera not as good.
(2) In the previous version dialer screen use to disappear any fix in the new version?
(2) Is the homescreen & drop down menu as crisp as V.5.2.25?
(4) Is APK file transfer on BT possible?
(5) Would flashing modem.img solve the network as well as 3g problem??
Sir, my request to you is dnt close this project as new MIUI v6 v5.7.2 has been released. Going by the discussions & QA it's certain MIUI is the most wanted & loved rom. If all the bugs can be fixed it will be fantastic.
THanks and Kudos....

MIUI OTA update v5.4.1 returning error 7 status...
Installed the MIUI 5.3.1 rom as per method mentioned with philz cwm..then tried to flash OTA update 5.4.1 but its showing error 7 status...MIUI 5.3.1 without the OTA upadte is functioning weirdly like missing statusbar and icons. Earlier I was using MIUI v.5.2.25 on 4.23GB System partition...MiUI is awesome & hope to see newer MIUI rom on xolo q3000..
Thanks in advance

Any clue on how to increase volume in this version....
This version is stable. Only drawback is that the overall volume is very low compared to the previous version. Tried many hacks from the MiUI sites and from the engineer mode (*#*#13411#*#*) but somehow it is not working in this ROM. Is there any other way to increase ringtone , media, FM Radio on speaker volume???
Many Thanks for the Updated version...

Dolby sound boost for the ROM...
The Dolby atmos can be patched to boost the sound via recovery. It is the only mod that is working with this ROM...

Heya, guys!
I'm having a BIG problem.. I flashed LineageOS ROM through TWRP 3.0.2 recovery (my last ROM was on the 3.4.67 kernel) and now I lost my IMEI numbers. Could you please help me fix it? I installed all the drivers that are needed, but my PC still doesn't recognize the phone and FlashTool can't work either. I found some patches to flash through the recovery and restore it that way, but this didn't help too. I don't know what to do, because I need that phone and I can't fix it anyway. Thanks.

Link dead, please reupload

The link to the new rom is dead, please can you reupload it?

Depending on which ROM you use, you can try also (at least it works fine with Eragon):
Add to build.prop (e.g. by Kernel Adiutor app from Google Play) new key windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=180

@zgfg
I haven't started a separate thread because it is an unofficial port based on cm13 + TeslaOs . I am looking for some guys to help me kill bugs . I am not a developer but used a guide for porting mtk roms by Sandeep.Sethi plus his personal help to get it to boot . I need help because i don't know how to fix some major bugs and i use my phone daily .I want to learn to port because I am interested in porting MM roms like aicp + rr + teslaOs but it seems tje recognized developers are focusing on NOUGAT and aosp + cyanogen. Apart from Sandeep and a couple of other mtk porters I have been met with silence when asking for help. I can't create a thread dedicated to the rom because it is a project which isn't ready for release but rather just something for the brave to try out and possibly fix major bugs . I tried porting a RRemix rom the wkend from lenovo note but bricked my phone . I am waiting for about 3 guys who own metal phones and want to learn to port to create a team with me so we can kill bugs and get help from the experienced guys but these guys are or all too busy or just not forth coming with any info on patches or they just don't want to share their hard work . I have found porters are friendlier and more open with advice . Hope that answers your questions .
I will try to do more this weekend .

here is a link to official Tesla ... this is an unofficial port but the idea would be to make as many of the features work as possible.

Battery Drain
I almost gave up on this phone due to massive battery drain even in aeroplane mode with most apps killed. While CM13_Metal_BetaTest_1 with DarkSense kernel wasn't too bad, I decided to give the stock ROM 20161226 a try, but with many disabled or removed apps and services. I was able to disable normally only a few apps of interest:
Gmail
Google App
Maps
TalkBack
Others had to be deleted in TWRP. Mount 'system' and remove (or move):
/system/app/AdupsFota
/system/app/AdupsFotaReboot
/system/app/Email
/system/app/Google TTS
/system/app/LocationEM2
/system/app/Schedule power on & off
/system/app/Shly...//ALL of them!
/system/app/User Dictionary
/system/app/Voice Command
/system/app/VoiceUnlock
Screen Off Standby Power Drain Now:
Aeroplane mode, 12hr: 83-->82%
SIM 3G network, 12hr: 81-->79%
Note on the attached screenshot the rapid power drop from 100%. There is something wrong with software or hardware of the power gauge and it is best to start testing from below 90%. One or more of these apps is responsible for the massive power drain. It would be interesting to find out exactly which one.
I hope you will find my experiment useful. Please share your observations.
:highfive:

Well I have tried all the ROMs
Stock + Root + Xposed + Greenify
Eragon +( same as above )
Cm13 by Lucky76
Cm14 by Johnny
Aosp 7.1.1 by M.A.D
and tbh they all run okayish with a medium amount of tweaking and start throwing errors with heavy tweaking
i abandoned stock because it always seemed as if the phone just got worse as time went on .....i deleted the apps you mentioned and many more after doing a lot of forum searching
my phone gave me trouble after deleting locationEM2 and I had to restore at some point .
im running aosp 7.1.1 by M.A.D again and after a clean install and using these GAPPS as suggested I've been rather content with battery life , calls , home button, etc..
