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:

(thanks to user det-happy for pointing it out to me)
The most important Stock-ROM in my eyes (as base for most custom ROMs there are) is B919, find it here:

For people running linux on their computers, I've created an adapted version of this root tool:
kaefert.is-a-geek.org/huawei_honor/HuaweiHonorRootTool_LinuxVersion.7z
OLD: Theres a nice guide explaining how to root and flash+enable google-apps here: (but don't take the recovery from there but from above. explanation also above) - only use this if the new method above doesn't work for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22688341&postcount=53
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

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.

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?

As far as I know there is no CM (cyanogenmod) ROM for the Huawei U8860
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/

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.

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.)

In this version of CM are we able to move apps, backups, TWRP files to the external SD card?
I am currently posting on my Nexus 5 running First Ever's Oreo ROM. Strange to found that moderator locked his thread, which worries me as if First Ever done anything suspicious with the ROM or violating XDA rules. There is no notes what so ever to explain.
Can someone know about it explains, or ensure me the ROM is safe for continue use?
I wonder if it has to do with the GApps being included in the "ROM"
I have to add the download link to my thread on XDA - this is the only reason why my thread was locked!
Good news - I managed to add Pixel NavBar
New version 21-01-2018 will be available today on my website then on XDA.
BTW this is not a ROM, I'm sharing UBR (Update By Recovery), my private clean backup and I believe backup can include GApps.
This is not my work i am just sharing the rom found at ONE PLUS official forum.
All credits goes to @Chandra.1jd.
This is AOSP Cypher OS so not lot more customizations.
If you are willing to try do at your own risk

It is already in the forums... Uploaded by official developer.
Plus it is wrong section to post a rom..
And noticed that you're re-uploading a lot of things which are already in the forums.. kind of making it mess.
And the last time I remembered you reposted systemUI mod for lockscrren weather from other developer when even original developer havent posted it, and it was buggy as hell but a lot people from your thread installed it.
What im trying to say, if you posting other people projects, make sure that it not posted alrwady in the forums.. and choose right section. Or ask to close your thread when here is already a tread by original developer.

I asked the developer of this rom regarding opening of thread when this rom is available at one plus official forum. But later he created original thread for rom after 4-5 days of this thread. And i will close this thread i known what to do and what not to do.
Second regarding lockscreen mod i seen that mod officially by posted through xda article news where the developer not mentioned about bugs they understood when i created the thread only problem is that i not asked regarding opening of thread to developer.
Here the main problem is that some xda atricle news are posted by xda members before original thread of that mod is not created or some articles doesn't have any base thread.
So i just tried to Create the thread for them. So if someone willing to try by that thread and so we can discuss problems we face, because of that we got lockscreen mod thread by original developer.
i dont think he was going to create that one but because of lots of bugs he done that.(when he saw our thread and complaints ). In this case i admire my mistake that i doesn't asked him.
Another thread of resurrection remix android 8.1 is good example of that where developer not created thread for that rom as it is single and last update by developer so i created that but suddenly in future if he Crete thread regarding that then its not my mistake friend.
So i will Close this thread surely and i personally going to do that when i saw thread by developer.
So i am not messing anything i just try to give some useful info to peoples which we can miss.
Thread closed at OP's request.
Update: DO NOT TRY TO PAY!!! THE GUIDE IS BADLY OUTDATED. JUST USE THE RESOURCES AND FREE METHODS.
If you want to try the paid method, you should definitely get in touch with the seller first. I don't know whether the previous sellers are active or not.
If you want to inform me of something important, please `@me`, (I missed many replies in the past years)

There seems to exist a new method: It is said to work on Qualcomm devices.
First, dump frp partion, then edit the value to 1 at 7fff0, finally, flash the modified frp image. then you can use fastboot command to unlock your phone.
This new method shall work for for ODM devices like 16T, 16x, 16xs and Note9 and so on. see FRP Method.
Below is the original post:
The original post has been removed, since it's outdated and I almost finished the English version tutorial on Github.
You can see it on github.
BTW, it's really difficult to use XDA's text editor.
You can download the TWRP of 16s here
it's a start, is there anyone who has already tried a gsi?
Good news for us Meizu users! Hope this is just a first step towards some good modding ?
Will this also work on Meizu Note 9?

A new method has been released on 4pda, which supports almost all MEIZU devices using Qualcomm Proccessor. This is the original link 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=961552&st=960#entry90949224

I tried MIUI 11 and Flyme 8 , almost everything does not work on MIUI 11, it can boot into system, but the launcher doesn't work. Almost everything works fine on Flyme, except Bluetooth and Camera
I will try to rewrite an English version
The Chinese version has been moved to wiki, I'm planning to rewrite an English version similar to the Chinese version.

Sure, the new method applies to almost all devices, all versions. You can have a look at my github repository. I will edit the original post as soon as I can post links. BTW, is there any netdisk you guys use frequently? I don't know where to put the TWRP so that you can download easily.

You can use yandex.disk or google drive.
But you say about downgrade. Does the new method ignore the firmware version ?

yes, the new method applies to almost all versions, I have not updated the original post, because I have not prepared the English Version well on Github. You can have a look at github.com/sukanka/MEIZU16S_unlock_tutorial/wiki/Guide-to-Unlock-Your-MEIZU-Device
A new tutorial has been released on github
I must post in this way, as I'm not allowed to post links now. The Tutorial is at
github.com/sukanka/MEIZU16S_unlock_tutorial/wiki/Guide-to-Unlock-Your-MEIZU-Device

There seems to be custom ROMs for MEIZU 16th, I've seen Lineage, havoc, and mokee before. But i don't know how do these ROMs work. Anyway, I use 16s, not 16th. Besides, I don't know how to add a new phone category.
BTW, it's said that the kernel source of the 16 series will be released, maybe next year. And there are plans to upgrade the Android version of the 16 series.

You try another gsi rom? I want try pixel gsi or havoc, but I don't think was supported at 100%, probably lost taptic engine and other features... If have problems with this gsi and I want reinstall flyme stable, will be a problem?

No problem. If your phone becomes a brick, you can follow the unbrick tutorial to save your phone. But you are suggested to have glance at the tutorial before you go.
As reported by others, fingerprint and Mengine (taptic engine) don't work.
I am on havoc 2.9. Fingerprint mengine and mtp not work. But other features work fine
First telegram gruop for rom develop in meizu 16series: @Meizugsi
