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.

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.

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?

Click to expand...

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?

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?

IT WAS HIGH TIME SOMEONE MADE AN INDEX OF THE AVAILABLE ROM'S FOR OUR BELOVED A2
ENJOY !!!!!
DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ON THE THANKS BUTTON IF THIS HELPED YOU XD
Hi
This thread is for all you people new to the atrix 2
it is a simple way to view all that we have in store for customizing the a2.......:d
The problem with this kind of thread is that it is rare that the people that need it spelled out for them like this won't bother taking the time to read them. Good effort though.
u have missed something in OP .... u forgot to put CM10 on list ....
as i know..., we will got the official one soon... :laugh:
btw ..., nice thread for noob ... :good:
I put up this thread to help all those noobs who keep posting what should i do which ROM should i download my Ctd.bin file error when i flash RSD
this is to simplify it for all of them
And i noticed our A2 doesnt have a list of ROM's and an index page so i think it will be useful to everyone
as it covers a wide range of problems
Although its a WIP ill keep adding more tips and other ROM's it will be easier to access all the links in one page rather than searching
all the forums for the correct one......

All the ppl on the apex noob q&a thread keep asking the same questions and dont bother even searching the forums
This thread will answer most of their problems and decrease the amount of noob posts regarding the same problem over and over again
Just post this thread whenever they ask something that way they can see all the issues in one place and get all their issues solved.

Or simply tell them to read over the development section. This forum has always had a problem with repetitive questions. Encouraging others to read and educate themselves can help to resolve some (but not all) of that. I'm not saying that you were wrong in posting this thread, just don't be surprised or discouraged when it inevitably gets ignored by those who would benefit the most from it.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Make sure that it is not capitalized. If you want to see the exact name that the system is looking for then open the zip, find the file named desc.txt and open it in a text editor/viewer. You'll see a line that looks like:
s droidhd.ogg
The "s" means that the animation will use a sound and what follows is what the name of the sound is. Then just make sure that the bootanimation.zip and the audio file are both in /system/media with the correct permissions, etc.
As far as getting it running on jb. I haven't found anything that seems to work. From what I've read, it seems as though it might have to be supported by the ROM and/or kernel. But I'm not positive of that.

There is nothing like the perfect ROM its the dev's who put in the hardwork to make it possible
So please don't say this is the perfect ROM etc...
Each ROM is unique in its own way and everyone has their own perfect ROM that suits them........
So keep flashing all the amazing ROM's we have and choose what best suits your needs......:silly:
This is probably a dumb question, and I'm sure there's a thread about it that I couldn't find, but to install a custom kernel would you just go into BMM recovery and install zip like with the ROM, GApps, etc.? And if so, any extra steps to take to install it without having to like reflash the ROM and losing all my ****?

Hm... are you talking about leaving Boeffla-Kernel or moving to Boeffla-Kernel?
If you leave Boeffla-Kernel, you do not need to use any cleaner script. Boeffla stores everything under /data/.boeffla, and this cannot be used by any other kernels.
If you move to Boeffla, also usually no cleaning before required.
Only exception: If you were on a kernel before that stored all his configuration into init.d scripts, then you should cleanup your /system/etc/init.d folder before flashing Boeffla.
That's all however.

ALL: Google is again playing games and locked down the first of my 3 donation apps in Playstore. Of course no compelling reason provided.
But as I already prepared for that half a year ago, I would like to remind you to use your personal unlock key to gain donation functionalities.
If you have not yet generated (this can be done in the donation app itself) and entered it into Boeffla-Config, it is now urgent to do that!!!
I cannot ensure Google will not lock down the other two donation apps as well soon, so you should be prepared now.
From my side, next Boeffla-Config app version will not support these donation apps anymore but only personal unlock codes.
Also, I will replace remaining donation apps in Playstore very soon (today or tomorrow) with a dummy app that tell users to get in touch with me manually.
Thanks for understanding... and alohas Google, all done wrong, guys there.
Cheers

Thanks a lot, the kernel is fantastic.
Hi from Russia. Excellent operation! I tried to pay, but my payment system of it doesn't allow to make. Sorry. The kernel for N8000beta5 isn't set through TWRP2.8.3.0 "error bynary". I set through Odin. Everything is great. Good luck!
And you can also use Boeffla-Config app to flash kernel updates now.
Surprised twrp throwing an error, s3 and opo kernels flash fine with twrp. But I only report what others say, I never use twrp. I am a philz touch guy...

But this is unexplainable then... the flash binary has not changed for more than half a year.
However I got to know in the OnePlus One thread, TWRP seems to have introduced some issues lately. But never used TWRP myself, so it is just second hand information I have seen.

Ah, but can be something else.
In order to avoid people are flashing wrong kernels, I put asserts in.
Could you please just boot your tablet and look in /system/build.prop file what the entries are there for:
ro.build.product
ro.build.model
ro.build.device
Many thanks
Andi
Ok, for the time being I uploaded the kernels again without the assert checks.
So be careful to not flash the kernel on a different device than the Tab10.2
Please redownload the zip again, it should work now also in TWRP.
Thanks

problem with boeffla kernel v3 beta 6 for samsung note 10.1 (n801x)
Hi ! I am using the samsung kitkat stock rom 4.4.2 rooted in a samsung galaxy note 10.1 (n8010). First time trying a kernel. I have tried to install the boeffla kernel mentioned in the title, both via odin and trwp, but i have the same problem once installed... when rebooting the tablet it just stays in a black display after the "samsung galaxy note 10.1" title. It just does not start, i have to boot in download mode and reinstall the stock rom via odin. Help please! I would like to try this kernel in my tablet ! Thanks!
READ THIS!
Me, myself, and I do NOT own ANY OF THIS nor do I take credit for any of this amazing work. I am simply reposting with some updated information. I will leave links for EVERYTHING.
OKAY AGAIN, LISTEN UP. Flashing ANYTHING like this may void certain warranties; and I, Albinoman887, or anyone else is responsible for dead SD card, broken SIM's, or bricked phones, or anything bad that may result from this. You are SOLELY responsible and are doing this at YOUR own risk.
All credit goes to TeamDouche and all other coders who contributed to CyanogenMod.
These builds are for KLTE (GSM) and (CDMA) variants.
Included in the unified (GSM) build are: KLTEXX, KLTELRA, KLTEMO, KLTECAN, KLTEACG, KLTEDCM, and KLTE
*Individual CDMA builds: KLTESPR and KLTEUSC*
*Individual GSM buulds: KLTEDV*
So, if your device is not listed in one of the Individual lists (The ones marked with an asterisk) Then you should flash the "Unified GSM" (Or KLTE) build.
So here are the features,
Built from CM Source
Service
Text
Data
Calling
Audio
Wi-Fi
Google Now
Bluetooth*
GPS
MMS
Video Playback
Audio Playback
Internal SD Card mounting
External SD Card mounting
IR Blaster**
NFC
*There has been reported issues of Bluetooth stuttering and some random crashes. This is a known issue. Complaining about it will do absolutely nothing. With that information, do what you will.
**IR Blaster has been tested using the Peel IR Remote (Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.peel.app&hl=en
Please note, some CyanogenMod Features have NOT been added yet, so be patient and don't be annoying about this.
Some things you do NOT want to do when flashing this,
Do NOT use superwipes,
Do NOT dirty flash, (And if you do, do NOT report bugs), do a clean flash (Which is wiping Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache)
Download links!
Latest tested release is cm-13.0-20151227
G900I (kltedv) : http://www.team-hydra.org/kltedv/rel/
G900P (kltespr) : http://www.team-hydra.org/kltespr/rel/
G900R4 (klteusc) : http://www.team-hydra.org/klteusc/rel/
G900V (kltevzw) : http://www.team-hydra.org/kltevzw/rel/
If your phone's specific model number was NOT listed above and is a CDMA device, it is sadly NOT supported, for all other GSM devices flash the "Unified GSM" Build below.
KLTE Build archive: http://www.team-hydra.org/klte/rel/
GApps Package: www.opengapps.com
FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS!
You must have TWRP Installled in order to flash this ROM! Others may work but have NOT been tested!
This is really quite simple if you do this step by step.
Step 1.
Download the build specific for your device and grab a GApps package.
Step 2.
Move these over to an SD Card
Step 3.
Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.
Step 3.
Flash the downloaded Cyanogenmod .zip folder
Step 4.
Wipe Cach and Dalvik Cache
Step 5.
Flash GApps package
Step 6.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Step 7.
Reboot System!
And congrats! It should work! And you can brag to all of your dev friends and tell them you're running Android version 6.0.1 ( Although the S5 has Marshmallow for it already.. :/ )
Now, here I will talk about NIGHTLIES,
IF you want to be as up to date as possible, I recommend flashing the NIGHTLY builds. The only thing is they may have some bugs lurking around. Although, I use these and have had NO problems whatsoever.

Its a more noob friendly version, as I myself have helped many noobs over on the original thread. Making this was am attempt to help them and get rid of noobish questions, as it gets repetitive and annoying.

In my opinion it should be in the General section as an ultra-noob walkthrough guide for installing CM13 from absolute scratch. With the links towards a compatible recovery, root, as well as all the risks involved (breaking knox, changed/lost imei etc.)

Alright, can a mod move this thread over to the general section please? And sorry for any troubles man. Thanks.
In this version of CM are we able to move apps, backups, TWRP files to the external SD card?
I am not responsible for any damage done by flashing to the boot partition if you do not follow the guide as directed you are at fault for it
Not sure where I found this somewhere deep in the forums but thought id share, this kernel is fast tested on the 530NU however if you want the speed you must have KitKat 4.4.2 build T530NUUEU1AND4 might work on the 3g model anyways ill link the org. thread when I find it as I do not steal credits.
Features:
SmartAssv2
CPU-Overclocked to 1.5ghz Stable
GPU 533Ghz Stable
1. Download the boot.img place it on the root of your sdcard card
2. Reboot into TWRP select install then on the right hand select images. (WARNING) Make sure after selecting the boot.img you select boot from the radio options, DO NOT FLASH TO RECOVERY OR SYSTEM, select boot ONLY or you'll brick.
