Hi,
I recently purchased a Huawei GX1S and overall found it a good phone except for one thing: the ROM. It uses a Huawei customized ROM which I personally find horrible as it doesn't have any of the regular apps like Play Store or Chrome. It uses Huawei update servers, EMUI, as its system update download server so therefore I can't get any of the Google official updates.
I've Googled up several times to try and find the original Google custom ROM and haven't found anything related to it. The best I could find were 2 tutorial sites that had survey locked download links which I honestly don't trust and wouldn't waste my time on. There seems to be no information at all for this product. Are there any available custom ROMs out there that I can use with this device?
Thanks

Hi, I have a MID 9702T tablet, the firmware is screwed and I don't have the stock mail client for android 4.0.4 so I was looking to download a firmware for it from the net.
However I have been unable to find the manufacturer and so no firmware update.
I did get pointed to some Chinese sites but my AV blocked them as hosting malware.
I am happy to put any Rom on it that will work and give me a decent mail client with exchange support.
It is a 10" tablet, current fw build is 03F2-H1-H2-H01-CF40.20120815.
Please help!

Sorry ... there is no dedicated forum for your device on xda.
So you have to ask this in the General discussion > Questions and Answers > [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly. thread.
Alternatively you can try another email app, e.g. Cloudmagic, Nine or AquaMail (all available on Play store)

Hello everyone,
The question I have is: where can I find the firmware for the Huawei Ascend G6-U251? it seems to be unavailable from the Huawei site and searches online mostly come up empty.
Is it technically possible for another user with the same phone model to extract the firmware from their phone (forgive my ignorance, I am still figuring out how installations and backups work and I am not quite clear yet on it all yet).
Some context about my situation if anyone cares to read through it all and make any suggestion.
Thank you all in advance.
After rooting and messing with my Huawei Ascend G6 I managed to get into a state where the phone is:
- rooted
- I am able to remove annoying bloatware apps
- I am able to move apps to the SD card to avoid the "not enough storage on device to install this app"
That's all nice, but in my enthusiasm I also removed an app called SystemUI.system.apk. I believe this app deals with the status bar, and my phone is now in a state where it starts up and generally works, but there is no status bar and there are no notifications.
I've spent a fair amount of time searching things online to get the status bar working again, but information is scant on this huawei model. There are no custom ROMS that I can install. So I started searching for the Firmware, to restore everything to its original state. The firmware I think is available on the huawei site, look for EMUI Firmware (I'd post the link but as this is my first post xda is preventing from doing so).
Note, one thing that took me a while to figure out is that the Huawei firmware is distributed under the EMUI name (huawei's android brand I think, correct me if I am wrong). I am currently downloading this:
Version: G6-L11/G6-L22/G6-L33,kernel.tar.gz
MD5: 022A448C0D1314F69F4266DE6FEAB4F1
Size: 108.60MB
although it doesn't list the U251 model, I'll give it a shot and see if I can pull just that SystemUI.system.apk file.
Also, for anyone going through the same pain of searching for this firmware or information on updates for the G6 - find the Huawei Ascend G6 group on facebook. It's quite active and seems to have good info on updates for the Ascend G6 (there is another post on xda pointing you to it).
Good luck and thanks.

Hey Everyone,
Long story short, i bought a Lenovo z90-7 on ebay from china. I received a z90-3 in the mail.
Couldnt get them to ship z90-7 for replacement, so i got a full refund from ebay. free phone. yay.
Phone is loaded with bloatware, and spyware. every 30 mins a message pops up trying to get me to download a new piece of crap software, or bloat, or spyware. It came with a chinese rom, changed to english, and is not rooted - however it is unlocked so i can use it with any sim card, and it currently works "properly" (minus the bloat/spyware).
I have checked everywhere in XDA, and like 50 pages of google under every search term i can think of. currently, there is no available rom/solutions for this phone.
Lenovo support is useless, and only has china phone support. i cant get a download link for an FTP from lenovo to get the factory rom to mod myself.
I need help with these things:
1) i need to root the phone so i can mess with it
2) i need an international/english version of some kind of rom that will work with the phone - OR
3) i need a source for a universal android rom, of which i can load drivers for the chipsets(download link to master driver site/android site?)
info of what the phone currently shows:
Model: Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-3
Android Version: 5.0.2
Build Number: VIBEUI_V2.5_1522_5.130.1_ST_Z90-3
Email me with any information you can come up with, thank you!!!

After a lot of time searching on internet, someone else uploaded the stock rom for this cellphone (which for some reason its NOT in the oficial huawei page). Please notice that the link is not mine, I just found it.
By the way, I tried it on my cellphone and it worked!
The link: 4shared.com/rar/_c8dHlNFce/Y625-U43V100R001C464B105.html
(Just add the www thing to the link: I am new to this community and I think this will be the only thing I will post, at least for a while)
If for some reasons the link gets broken or something, please tell me and I´ll upload it to some page

Hi!
I recently bought a Redmi Note 9 4G with a Chinese ROM in China, and as you all understand this limits my accessibility to everything related to Google. The phone is running on MIUI 12, and I'm now desperately trying to get access to everything I could on my phone that I bought back in Europe (such as Android OS, Google Play Services and Play Store as well as syncing to my Google account).
A friend sent me a link with a guide on how to unlock the bootloader and subsequently migrate from a Chinese ROM to a global ROM (
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/b4phic
). After waiting 168 hours (as demanded from Xiaomi) I successfully unlocked my bootloader, and then tried to flash my phone according to the instructions in the link above. My phone completely rebooted (as if it was a factory reset), and it seems like I was able to download a few more apps than I was able to before. However, it still clearly states that I do not have Google Play Services, and the entire phone system does not appear to be Android. It is impossible for me to use apps such as YouTube, Facebook, Gmail etc. despite being able to find APK-files and installing the apps. There is also no Google Play Store.
Could anyone please help provide me with some clarity on this? It would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
