Huawei Ascend G526 - rom dev

I just bought a Huawei Ascend G526 phone.
Am thinking of starting to make a custom rom for it, because it doesn't seem to be a popular device and thus there's no nice ROMs for it.
But I have some questions. Since it would be my first android rom dev project.
I want to know which other phone is very similar to it (is the 525? P1?). This, to know if I could start from a different already developed rom.
Any interest to cooperate?

I also have this phone and I am interested in your project rom

Hello, i also have this phone, so if i can help you let me know. What i know is that is very similar to the huawei g510, and there is a recovery that works on huawei g720 and g526. I whish this could help you. And thanks for triying to make a rom for this Mobile.

Nice to have some replies.
So are you saying that there's a rom for the G720 that also works on the G526?
I mailed Huawei local support to ask for the stock rom, but they gave me another e-mail to contact. They haven't replied yet.
Any hints as to where to start for writing a root for an unpopular / unlisted device as the G526? Just find an exploit?
Need some good resources!

Sorry about my English, what I was trying to explain is that there is a recovery that works on both phones.

Could you link it?
Also, I've got the G526-L22, not sure what the difference is.
Still no reply by Huawei, resend the mail though..

Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517202 here is where it is. I don't know the difference between L11 and L22

So the problem is that you can't unlock the bootloader without some generated code that you normally generate through a site of Huawei itself.
Any ideas on that one?
I did get access with ADB yesterday (which is ****ing nice), but not root off course

To get the unlock code for the bootloader. Once you have the code......fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I sent an email to [email protected]
A copy below – All the details were on the box, if you are too lazy(like me) to pop the battery. That and the back is terrible and everytime I take it off it feels looser than the last time !
Dear Sirs,
Please can you send me the code to unlock the BOOTLOADER, the Ascend G526-L22 is not listed on your unlock bootloader webpage.
Here are the required details--
Model: Ascend G526-L22
IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S/N: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Baseband: I am on Jelly Bean official ROM (4.1.2)
Thank you.

In the meantime I received the unlock code.
Next phase is to deepen my android knowledge.
Any hints to resources are welcome.
Regards,
Me

Rom for huawei g526
Hi, please make a rom for huawei g526 I'm very interested in a rom for this model.
Please help me

Heelp updating new Honor 6+ PE-TL10 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 (3UK)

Hi
I have purchased the Honor 6+ from 3 UK.
Currently my installed rom is as folows:
Model Number PE-TL10
Build Number PE-TL10V100R001C900B141
Android Version 4.4.2
Custom Version CUSTC432D141
Fully Stock / Unrooted
I am looking to upgrade to 4.4.4 stock unrooted.
I have tried the B160 update from this page http://www.needrom.com/download/honor-6-4g-pe-tl10/ but the update always fails.
Any Idea what I'm doing wrong or the file I should be using? Also this pages says that Gapps are not incleded, does that mean I have to root in order to flash Gapps through a custom recovery?
Thanks

All honor 6 and 6+ stock roms are based on android 4.4.2.
You dont need to root to install gapps, just install the apks

Sorry of the confusion, that page lists the rom as "official Update" and "Android Version 4.4.4" and says to flash through the huawei update app on the phone.
Does that mean the only 4.4.4 woudl be a custom rom that rrequires a custom recovery?

Yes but I don't think that there is any custom rom for the Honor 6 plus. For the honor 6 there is an ufficial cm11 but it miss some basic features like dual sim support.

Not to hijack the thread, but I would be interested in getting an International ROM like you seem to have.. I have the Chinese version, which do not allow me to join Huawei cloud, and pops up messages in Chinese now and then... If the ROM is not tied up to 3UK in anyway, that is.
I have the latest build PE-TL10V100R001CHNC00B173

Seems my answer didnt get posted:
If you e.g. Open HiVoice, charachters are English & Chinese, so I guess this app are of no use, voice command I guess.. Most annoying is pop-ups warning me of backups. Since I'm not allowed to use Huawei Cloud+, it's of no use( "service unavailable in your country"). Phone is set to Norwegian language, and most apps is in Norwegian, some in English. I use other clouds for backup, but the 6+ defaults to HCloud+.
Some themes use Chinese also..
Small things that are annoying...especially when the phone is released in Europe now...

Did you manage to find any ROMS which worked on the 3uk version. As i could not find the orginal rom ( PE-TL10V100R001C900B141) anywhere to download I have not risked flashing using a ROM not based for this phone.

Hey Jusumgeezer
Did you solve the problem with a local update Honor 6+

I have a feeling the rom we have on our 3uk handests are specific for 3. ......maybe i am wrong. Would be good to se if someone has better knowledge that I do.

I bought my 6 plus from Amazon UK not 3 and I have the same versions as you, so not specific to 3. Hope this helps!

Interesting. Have you managed to load a diferent rom on to it yet success? and if yes which one?

Still no joy with updating yet. I have a feeling that the page I quoted is actually showing roms for the 6 not the 6+ that's why they won't work

NO. The page you quoted is correct. I have a feeling that our "European" models need specific ROMs for them. Which is annoying. ANy one had any luck yet?

This way works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/development/guide-to-stock-rom-method-t3099261
ore use multi-tool and use the unbrick option.
but the Sim card is not detected and updates also do not work and my phone keep restarting.
I suspect that the PE-TL10 partitioning is different divided than in the Chinese PE-TL10.

I dont want to brick my phone as i only got it yesterday but unfortunately has the china ROM. I managed to get google stuff installed but the assistant aint working so best to install the global ROM that has all this stuff already pre-loaded.
Could someone be so kind to provide me with a step to step tutorial on how to fully flash the global rom which i found here: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-3-miui-10-global-stable-android-pie-download/

I enabled the dev option and already have the unlocker app from xiaomi, i have my mi account hooked to the mi unlock status so im just waiting on myself to unlock via the app on my PC from xiaomi. So thats where i am right now.

New Mi 10 Ultra user needing help

Hello XDA forums,
I've recently required a global version of the mi 10 ultra after a phone swap. I'm not flash/bootloading/ROM toting gunslinger and have no clue about this software installed on the phone called TWRP.
From my research I've found it's a bootloader that allows the device to be used in other countries and gives access to Google play store.
But I just wondered whether going back to stock is an option, and if so, would that present any issues i.e. lose assess to play store.
If there is a simplified guide or any guide in general I'd be more than happy to look at it
Kind regards

Thank you for clarifying that for me having spoke to someone via the Xiaomi forums, they stated that it is used on the mi 10 ultra to by pass the Chinese stock ROM and allow Google play store.
The thing I'm lost about is what ROM am I currently using and how do I update it? Would you be able to direct me to some information to troubleshoot this?
Kind regards,

Basically Yes, you will lose access to the playstore as China does not allow it on their phones. The 10 ultra's sold to people outside of China had a cutdown version of Google services put on but it did not have location history or find phone and other parts. If you do go back to stock Chinese, you can find playstore app in their version of appstore and if you install it, you can get full Google services again.
If you have the Xiaomi EU ROM installed and you live outside of China, then that version is your best bet. It comes in 2 versions, weekly or stable and both are still updated, so make your choice, stock ROM is available here.. http:/mifirm.net and do a search for cas or mi 10 ultra and install the latest fastboot or recovery ROM if you have twrp recovery installed ( you probably will if you have the EU ROM) or pop over the Xiaomi EU forum for the latest info here.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/xiaomi-mi-10-pro-10lite-ultra-10t-pro-lite-10s.204/ and here for the weekly ROM.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-12-0-12-1-12-2-12-5-stable-release.56191/ and the weekly ROM here.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-6-16-17.61822/ .
All the info on twrp and the ROMs are on the Xiaomi EU forum but there is lots of help and advice here once you make your choice of where you want to go. The 10 Ultra is a dam good phone with the latest EU ROM installed.

I recomand you to try Xiaomi.eu custom rom its based on global and have Mi dialer, messages,calendar etc.. Go download xiaomi.eu rom , unlock bootloader ,install TWRP/Ofx recovery and flash xiaomi.eu.
The best rom that i tried was Pixel Experience Plus great battery life,performance and is really stable,you can also try one plus 8T port if you want .
sorry for the bad english

So unlock the bootloader won't mean i root the phone ? cuz i never did such stuff before tbh with u but the global rom which i have here in Egypt not good at all so i was consider EU or Indonesien
I heard about pixel experience plus and how awesome is it on the phone., I tend to do it once xiaome won't provide any updates for the phone anymore .
