Hey guys,
I need a bit of help here.
For some strange reason I'm unable to install various apps from the play store like Antutu benchmar, AcDisplay or even unable to update The Google app!
I've cleared the cache of the play store and have rebooted the phone but still the same ! What else could I do?
Edit: after another reboot the system optimised itself and the problem is gone! Weird! Anyway is good now, even the screen turns itself off whereas before it wasn't doing it!

That's how it started to work here, after more reboots it failed completely.

The same thing happened just now. I couldn't install an app from the play store. Had to clear data and reboot. It's OK now.
I also find that the battery drains fast. I started the day with 100% and is not even 4pm and it's down to 39%! Nothing like the reviews I've seen saying that the battery should last 2 days!
No doubt that the OS has quite a few bugs.
I'm starting to miss my old Nexus 5 ?

thanks Alberto..
in the mean time root and TWRP successfully achieved..
unfortunatey only with adb you can enter in Twrp recovery..
btw it will work for root and backup purpose..

How did you get twrp? When I was looking to flash it, the only info I could find said that you'd need to build it for this phone yourself

A new OTA Update has been released by Ulefone (20160505), it seems to fix all instabilities but i'm not sure. I'll confirm it after some days of testing.
In the meanwhile i recommend you to update your device in order to get as much as possible feedbacks about it.

If they do not release the 20160505 Full ROM then yes, you need to wait an OTA update.

OK, thanks for your help and thank you for this thread and all the support. It's really appreciated! :good:

I wonder if anyone else has received the update?
I'm having lots of problems with this phone and I don't know who to contact to report them so I'm going to list them here in case some of you are suffering the same problems:
* I don't get a 4G signal despite this phone being compatible with band 800Mhz and that's the band my telephone supplier uses.
* The finger print scanner doesn't always work.
* I have to reboot the phone often because I get an error when trying to install apps.
* The battery life is very poor considering its size. I'm unable to get a full day's use with one full charge and I don't play games!
* The screen comes on while the phone is my pocket.
* The phone overheats often for no apparent reason.
* I get a network error when I try to send a feedback using the OTA feedback form.
* Maybe others that I can't remember now.
In summary, I'm a little disappointed and frustrated. . I hope that the update comes quickly and is able to fix some of these problems!

That gives me hopes! Thanks!

In order to download the ROM you have to log in but it doesn't give you an option to sign up either (at least I don't see it)
Would you be kind enough to share the download link please?

[GUIDE] Rooting your Huawei Ascend Mate

Hi Folks,
we at the Recieved my Huawei Ascend Mate Threat thought of make it easier for future or new HAM users to root their phone.
For that i reread the whole Threat and extracted the various mentioned rooting options.
IMPORTANT!
Rooting with any of the mentioned methods obviously voids your warranty.
I think that everybody knows this by now, but I'm not responsible if something goes wrong
Having said these standard stuff lets kick off!
First I start with the Method I used and many others, and i think this is the simples rooting method i ever came across.
The easiest is Rooting your HAM with eRoot
1) Get the eRoot Programm from Version 1.2 <- This Works till B221
1.1) For Higher Firmware Versions, like the new B905 use eRoot Version 1.3.4
2) Dig in your phone and enable usb debugging in developer options and in security enable unknown origin
3) Hook up your phone the your rig and on ask select MTP mode and install the Huawei HiSuite (phone drivers )
4) fire up eroot and let it find your phone, if it does hit root ...
5) reboot and that should be it
Confirmed to work on multiple Build Stages of the Stock Rom which currently is sporting version B221
Be aware that if your phone is bone stock you should firstly update the phones software to the newest possible version ...
-> B221 before rooting, otherwise it can cause problems
Second Rooting Method mentioned by PowerMan572
Detailed Instructions Here
i believe syaah used successfully this method
Third Method

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2iuhai9fmmlv8ta/MATE_ROOT.zip
this folder contains the rooting guide and app including the RootAssisstant v2.0. easy method of rooting and can be use for both chinese firmware and international firmware regardless of rom versions. rootassisstant v2.0 is in chinese but no need to worry as we need only to click one box in it. superuser is stable and can be updated in google play. hopefully can help as this is the first and stable method all the suppliers of HAM in China use and provided to their customers.

Unzip the room. Put the phone in debugging mode, hook it to the computer with USB, and click on .bat file ... that's all.

Mentioned by cmas84 a little tool called [Framaroot]
Version 1.6.0 Supports K3V2 Handsets, ergo the HAM

-> We havent confirmed it yet, but give it a go, it's a simple one klick method, everything is in the Threat:good:
That should be all methods, again all methods seem to work, but i found eroot to be the easiest, basically hook it up and press one button.:victory:
Hope i could help a few new HAM users out
Cheers :highfive:

Most of the time yes, but it really depends on which carrier you are (if you bought the phone with a contract) or where you bought it (which Store).
With eRoot you can if you rootet it with it, unroot your phone again.
Thank u very much .. you put the juice in one cup ..
Much easier to find .. more threads to subscribe

Thanks for the threat.
I'm about to root my HAM with Eroot, I have 3 questions before I do :
1. Any bizarre things happen after rooting with Eroot? Like FC? App missing? etc... (seen people having issues or not after rooting)
2. Would I be able to get OTA updates after rooting? What about a custon recovery? If I install CWM recovery, would I be able to apply OTA updates? If not, would unrooting the HAM allow me to OTA update my phone (then root again afterward)?
3. If something goes wrong while rooting, would I be able to install offcial B113 ROM from SD so I would go all fresh again like I first got the HAM out of the store?
Thanks for your advices.
Have a good one.
Cheers

In some cases we heard in the big Threat Here That you run into trouble witth OTA and root. So we all suggest that the rooting process should be initiated after you upgraded to the desired Firmwareversion.
As im aware there is currently no "real" meaning permanent CWM Recovery present. Only a sideload Recovery, some features didn't work properly, but I assume they manage that.
OTA Updates: I think it's the easiest to unroot it with eRoot and then root it again after the OTA

I didn't heard of something going terribly wrong with eroot, but yes you can of course flash the full B113 from standard Recovery you need no custom recovery for that
Hope i could help :highfive:

Thanks Onecton for all the inputs, really helpful !
One last question though, I downloaded Eroot v1.2 from the OP, proceeded as indicated, installed HiSuite, PC drivers etc., tried few times to plug my phone when Eroot told me to, but eachtime failed by getting "creating process failed" message, looked like Eroot couldn't recognize my phone... Oh, I'm on latest official OTA B221 FW.
So I went searching over the internet, found there was a Eroot v1.3.3, really not sure if it's official, cos there was (only) v1.2 official app from eroot.me (holy moly ! eroot.me website is gone !!! it's a online sim unlock codes site now ! What happened?), so, with this v1.3.3, it recognized my phone within a second.
Before I clic on that root button, just wanted to check with you experts if the Eroot v1.3.3 is legitimate, or is it some sort of fake app out there.
Thanks again !
Have a nice day.

Glad i can help mate :highfive:
Dafuq? eroot.me is gone? Thanks for the heads up, i will change the link accordingly and reroute the link to my dropbox.
Sorry for that
with eroot 1.2 i wasnt able to root too if i recall correctly.... i fired up the 1.2 version it immediately wanted to upgrade, or something. So i let it pull it's update and it worked like a breeze then.
Regarding your version, i really don't know if it is fake or not sorry but what i can say is that i'm fixing the link and it should be up and running again in approx. 4 min.
eRoot link is fixed :highfive:
if you can wait till there, you have most definately the ledigt version :highfive:
also i'm by far no expert and i don't deserve to be called like that :victory:

Thanks again Onecton for the quick reply.
I've downloaded v.1.2 form your original link way before the site is gone (it was yet there 2 days ago!), so no need to be sorry for that
I also fired up v.1.2 like you did, it started to update itself by downloading quite amount of data like you said, but when the update is done, it gave me that error message No such thing with v.1.3.3, it doesn't download anything and recognized my phone immediately... I saw there's even a v.1.3.4 out there!

Havent install yet but in our huawei mate forum someone did.
Thanks again.

hi,
manage to download B905 android 4.2.2 rom (presently chinese firmware only). flashed it and seems stable.
i am able to root using EROOT v1.3.4 thanks to you onecton. totally easy and lightning fast rooting procedure.
i downloaded GAPPS (links provided by svvv) which are stable and suitable for the rom.
now everything seems fine and no issue for now.
just want to update.
EROOT v1.3.4 is a 'go' to use (maybe older version can be used too).
Gapps link by svvv is also good to go. and,
both links by dandybq and mixterz are also good to go.
thanks.

Rooted Huawei Mate
I just rooted my Huawei Ascend Mate, I got rid of some bloatwares on the phone such as Kingsoft Office and the language packs.
However, my internal memory size did not increase.
Just wondering,
1) did Huawei divide the 8gb internal memory into 2 parts, 4gb each? the ROM and usage internal memory (detected as SD2, my external SD detected as SD1)
2) How do I install into the Rom part?
this is a weird phone!

My guess is that the 8 GB are indeed divided... But i wouldnt recommend trying to install something in that system reserved space. My guess is that the caches and the ram resides there.
But I am no expert on that stuff.
Maybe its better to post these specific questions over in the main thread .
But in some aspects this is indeed a weird phone

Hi onecton.
Do you think we can use the Rom Cleaner which is also provided in universal use (i guess), to clean up bloatware during installation of rom?
:- about obsidian question, im too think that the ham 8gb is divided coz we have only around 5-6 gb of usage. Maybe the system files resides there. At least we still can use 64gb microcard as expandable memory.
Thanks.

well this sounds tempting ^^ but i don't know.... maybe i read a bit more into it... since i really like the stock 4.2.2. experience... i found that huawei is really generous with its base system, you can just freeze some of the Emution stuff like the lockscreen, still i would like to prefer a bone stock 4.2.2. or 4.1.2. simply because i don't like that OEM overlay ..
can i install 4.2 or 4.3 on my mate ?? from where i can download this rom??

Latest software update fails

Hi guys,
Just like other people I have also rooted my Note 3 and flagged/tripped the KNOX counter...
The issue first appeared when I was trying to upgrade from Android OS, v4.3 (Jelly Bean) to v4.4.2 (KitKat). The update notification popped, it took roughly 40 minutes to download the firmware and I was then prompted to install. The device then restarted automatically as usual and I received the "Failure to update" window. I have tried couple of times more in case something went wrong with the download but it didn't help. So I had to install the update manually from SamMobile, using Odin and wiping my phone data. Everything went well and I am now enjoying the KitKat version.
Today it seems a new update appeared around 26 MB and I am facing the same issue. After I download the update and hit install, the device will restart and then show the "Failure to update" window.
Is there any way to fix this? Does it mean I can never install the updates automatically?
Please advise and thanks in advance.

Oke, well you can`t install official updates when you are rooted (modified the system)! I suggest you download Mobile Odin Pro from Play and flash the whole new rom from www.sammobile.com and keep root.

Do I have to wipe everything again or just install the latest update? Because if I have to wipe everything each time there's an update, I may just cancel the whole update thing until there's something like a major update

You don`t have to wipe as the updates atm are mostly bugfixes. Only wipe cache and dalvik cache after the flash.

Awesome then! From the description of Mobile ODIN Pro though it says "throw those firmware files on your SD...", where can I get those minor updates in order to download them?

Download the whole rom from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and follow the instructions of mobile odin. You can`t install OTA`s.

Okay I think I got it, so each time there's an update I must download the whole ROM and flash it on top of the current? Since it's the same, it only updates the files that are needed while keeping the rest of the system intact.

[4.4.4][ktu84p]STOCK Rooted with busybox for tilapia[6/19/14]

It is cooked from the Google stock image for tilpia and is NOT deodexed
This is the first time i am posting a ROM on XDA.
Been cooking ROM's for a while for my old Samsung devices.
The whole reason for this thread is to have a flashable zip for any Nexus 7(2012) 3g user who wishes to stay stock.
I have tested it on my Nexus 7, if anyone has any issues do let me and please bear with me as im not a developer and just sharing what i personally use.
Will try and help with what ever i can.​
************** For some Reason the boot logo does not show up, dont worry, wait for sometime, the ROM will boot up***********
Note:
1. Works with multirom.
2. Odexed for my personal use, if anyone wishes to de-odex it, do let me know.
3. This includes the stock kernel. I also tested the latest stable mkernel which is for 4.4.2 and works fine.(works with the new kitkat 4.4.4 too)
Screenshot attached
Downloads:
4.4.4:
tilapia.v2
Mirror
Radio for 4.4.4
md5 for Radio: 64920d406852d92b478c3ab17383ecce
4.4.3:
tilapia.v1
md5 : 5c4d3b47274000cf6d5326d14ab7cc81
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation:
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Do a factory reset.
3. Go to advanced wipe settings and select system, dalvik and cache and format them.
4. Flash Rom
First boot takes time, wait patiently. There wont be any boot animation, so wait on that black screen for sometime
Profit :good:

Update your bootloader and radio first. And clean flash is recommended though there are not much of changes from 4.4.2 but as you mentioned you are using 4.4 clean wipe and installing is preferred.
thank you very much! stock rocks! :good::good:
PS: root & bbox?
Thanks alot
Hi!
First of all - thanks for your clean/xposed ROM.
I only have one question. Would it still be possible to send SMS from my Tilapia-tablet (Nexus 7-2012/3G) after flashing your ROM?
BTW : @RomerGG - The threads' header should already have answered your question...

Roy

Haven't tried that. Unfortunately i have a pure data plan, so my provider restricts sms by default. And i cant take out the sim and replace as i was once trying to break open my sim slot and take out the sim, during that crazy struggle i guess i broke that sim holder. so once the sim comes out, i have to struggle a lot to get the network back on by replacing it
Edit: dont think hangouts will give the sms sending option by any chance. So try with a third party app and let us know
Thanks for the stock rooted rom. FYI, I had flashed CF SuperSU v1.99r4 and also MKernel a67, looks okay so far. I'm updating the Google apps from Play store now. Once done, I'll be installing TB to restore my apps.
One word of caution to those flashing this rom. Note that there seems to be no bootanimation, so don't be mistaken that the rom is not working. Give it time to boot up. :good:
Edit:
One thing I noticed strange is in TB, System ROM is showing 670MB (8.45 MB free). Before this, I was on 4.4.2 stock rooted, before I manually flashed boot.img and system.img. It was showing same results, but 9.XX MB free. Is this correct? I vaguely remembered that it should be almost 900 plus MB. Can anyone confirm?

Sorry for this stupid question. How can I updated these .img files ?
Thank you for this work!! I had the slimkat, I did a wipe recovery and then I installed. Where is the menu button?
Art is not activated?

To flash them you need to enable USB debugging and then reboot to bootloader. Here use the following fastboot commands.
For Updating bootloader:
fastboot flash bootloader name_of_the_bootloader_file.img
For radio:
fastboot flash radio name_of_the_radio_file.img
If you want a detailed instruction, go here and follow Method 2.

It is the same file as the one google pushes for Nexus 7 device. So what ever is present in the original stock image, will be there.
Menu button is only active in apps that give it by default, there is an xposed module which can activate menu button in every app.
For ART, not sure why google misses the option to switch to ART every time on Nexus 7 devices. Will check and see how to add that option.

It is dalvik. Google does not seem to want including ART for the nexus 7. Read somewhere on google forums that it might be a hardware issue cos of which they are not including it.
flashing aborted
Version tilapia2 flashing aborted, version tilapia 1 ok. Do you know where is the problem? Using the latest version of the recovery v6.0.4.3.
Good work! I maintain BSZKitKat for grouper (ODEX and DEODEX). Awesome job getting right in front of the 4.4.4 update!

Correct - we lack sufficient space on the /system partition for the binaries required for switching to ART
Cant' flash this rom, i get an error and the message FAILED.
I'm using TWRP recovery 2.7.
Can we have a flashable zip please?
It is much easier to deal with!
Thanks

Don't worry, that's how Mediatek handles the scatter on MT6737 devices. You can use it without any issue.

Oh great. I will add the link to a working TWRP soon in order to root it.
UPDATE: Done.
I installed your twrp without problem in the flashtool, but if I push the buttons the original recovery comes in.
My biggest problem that after the rom installing, i haven't got IMEI numbers and I can't calling. I tried some options for the imei write, but not working.
Have you got an idea?
Thank!

I guess you flashed the firmware incorrectly (Format All option instead of Firmware Upgrade/Download Only probably).
On XDA-Developers it isn't allowed to talk about IMEI modifications so you need to use Google for that.
I used Download and Format all.
And can you help me in privat message?
And what about recovery?
I think if I can install the twrp, I could root, and change the imei too.
Thank you very much your support!

No i am sorry, i cannot provide any support for IMEI.
And Can you send me your Uhans Note 4 nvram.bin? I just want to write back my original imei adress. Please..
Thank you very much your support bro!
Finally I rooted my phone with your twrp and made an NVRAM from my scatter file and now everything is working. I wrote back my imei with just some number.. *#6813#*
Have a nice day
Thank you for ROOT solution.
I have one question. Why Uhans is killing my RECENT APPS every time i turn off display? Apps should work in background but Uhans or maybe Android is killing them. It's frustratin becouse I have a lot of free RAM. Do you have same problem? Any solution?

I'll be honest, I really don't know. I doubt it though because it's not signed with the system signature.

Yes, you can! Update your S7 Edge with April security update patch and install the apps individually.
Note:
1. Camera app crashes when launched.
2. Message app crashes when you tap to 'message' a person from 'Contacts' tab. Install this version instead -> 5.0.10.9
