Thats a cdma phone. Specs are close though, very close.

[Davidoff59]

Download speed is terrible off that site. Was going to have a play swapping some stuff around but download is too slow.

[rsrocha]

I know its cdma... Im thinking that it only makes a difference in the radio firmware. If we took that piece out it may well work. How is the radio firmware flashed? Is it inside the rom?

[rsrocha]

Im downloading it at a nice speed. In 20 minutes i have it done.

How do you unpack and then repack the rom for flashing?

with cygwin, im a knob newbie but playing with that setup was easy.

[Gary_J_Wright]

the 8812 should NOT be flashed to your 8815/8818 until we have a way to repair if it bricks phone   IT WONT FLASH TO PHONE error when unpacking / installing phone reboots OK

its also 600mb odd in size verus the 400Mb  odd size of hauwei 8815 roms

the  huawei update.app has NOT been successfully extracted yet (the early versions have been) there seems little news on progress of updating scripts to extract

we believe there is a b916(?) android 4 ics which is rumour to been developed for the 8815 simulator test bed

I dont think cygwin will extract the update.app - AS SUSPECTED  CYGWIN CANNOT EXTRACT THIS....

I agree,you should not even think of using this update.app it is non-recoverable if it goes wrong,it would be different if this was in cwm format.
The device may be similar to g300 but that's where it ends,there is so much that will be different,kernel,libs,etc.

I read that Huawei is actually working in optimizing Emotion UI in mid-low 512 RAM models like Honor and G300. So the possibility to see Emotion UI ICS in G300 is there. That would be awesome !

[rsrocha]

Just to update, B894 is way better in battery management.

[jikobutsu]

Strange but the B894 update fails for me,just like any older ones do after using B888 update?

[pOcHa]

Well, B888 and the elusive B891 are the recommended versions to update from according to the B894 doc - but you said you have a newer B895 version, so maybe it yet again changes the partition sizes (as B888 did)? If that is so, then people should be warned in a sticky topic! Is anyone else with B895 having this problem?

[jikobutsu]

This is what I suspected too,that partitions have been changed again.

Edit: just looked and partition sizes look same as before

[Davidoff59]

confirmed jiko same size as mine, on gr1 but had leaked 888

[jikobutsu]

Not that I really want to use a stock rom with AtomicMod now available for g300 but I like to try any newer builds in case we find one that is better than B888 significantly enough for the devs to use it as a base rom.
With regards to partition sizes,well they have not changed since I used the update.app for B888.
So I wonder what is making it fail? @Davidoff59 have you tried B894?

[rsrocha]

I didnt had any problem updating from B888 to B894... Battery is still going with the same charge. Nice!

[jikobutsu]

What you did the B888 update.app as well and it works for you ?
Now I am really confused
