Hi Beggin,

Firstly thank you for this, interestingly for me I wasn't able to Root the phone with Windows 7 32 or 64 bit edition initially on the default Huawei image using the .bat file. I used Paul's method instead. Once the phone was rooted I backed up the IMEI and then flashed the Huawei image (B934) from their website.

After the phone loaded  with the new image I was able to use the .bat files that provided with no issues at all. Root worked perfectly as did unlock boot loader and install CWM. Perhaps there is an issue with with the default image you don't see once you have installed another firmware?

Anyway thank you once again for the tutorial it is very well done and easy to follow.

John

Hi, my 5 year old son (soon to be 6 so i'd better hurry up!) is going to help me with putting ICS on my G300 but has a question:

Can I go from B886 (U8815V100R001C185B886) - standard on my vendor un-locked phone - straight to B934 ICS. If so, I assume just follow steps 1 - 6. And is step 7 just for installing custom ROM's that have been created - non official Huawei?

The detailed screen shots are really great and fingers crossed it should all go well. Thanks in advance to beggin and anyone who helps out with the above...

Hi Stephen. Follow pages 1 - 5 as you still need to root (required for IMEI backup) and backup your IMEI as a precaution. Also, instead of downloading the B934 update, download the newer B936 from Dazzozo's server: http://g300.thebrona...R001C02B936.zip

I haven't updated the guide to B936 yet because I'm still uploading it to my server and it's taking some time.

I'm working on a official ICS update guide, but as I said it's basically the same as pages 1 - 5 on installing a custom ROM.

How long does it hang on waiting for device? What OS are you using? Have you tried plugging it in to a difference USB port? Have you tried restarting your computer?

If it still doesn't work, delete the old ClockworkG300.exe and download this new ClockworkG300.exe

Hi John, thanks for this. Some people seem to have problems with the included root method for Gingerbread phones, but it worked for me and others. I will update the pre-ICS root method to Paul's as this seems to work for everyone.

Hi, there's a really good detailed downgrade guide by timethrow over here - http://www.modaco.co...with-downloads/. I know it looks messy on a forum but it's very in depth.

As for your second question, most likely. I can't see a reason why you wouldn't receive the OTA update.

Speaking as a retired college lecturer, I really am impressed with the guide on this thread. It is well written and accurate and informative, you cant ask more than that.

When I first found this web site I was well up for "playing" with my phone, particularly with the volume concerns. Since trying various ROMs and ending up with pages of Chinese icons, I was on the verge of throwing my phone.

Then I discovered this thread, followed it, learned that you use the home button to accept CWM options and not the power button. I am now running with B934, no Chinese icons, and all of the Google apps now working again.

One very happy Android device, and me.

Thanks to all who have worked to make this thread/project a success.

Hi,

Thanks for this post.

I'm trying to update to Infusion ICS custom Rom, but I'm experiencing some issues with your tutorial.

1 - My G300 is a French one, from Bouygues Telecom, U8815, GB 2.3.6, 109808 Baseband, B893 Build.
2 - I already Rooted it, installed a CWMrecovery and backed up my IMEI (not with your method, but done and well done)
3 - I thought I could start your tutorial at step "My baseband is 109808" (page 5 of 8), but maybe I was too optimistic
4 - I did every step right, but when I tried to update from my SD Card, it started and unpacked (step 1), but then failled to install the B936 (step2).
5 - My "quick boot" in "app setting" is unthicked. Could my issues come from here ?

Thanks for answering, and sorry for my english...
