i've dowgraded yesterday from infusion to b884 and i have a few questions
1. when i seach for ota it says no available updates, why that?
2.i should remain to b884? or try to force update to official vodafone b892?

firstly because there is no OTA updates for your country at the moment. If there is try to go into a different version which is official.
Do not force update if you want to do over the air updates. It wont work otherwise in my experience

I don't think B884 is an official Vodafone ROM. If so, you won't be able to update via OTA:  http://www.modaco.co...page__hl__+b884

B884 is not an official Vodafone ROM. If you haven't made an IMEI backup on your official ROM, there is high probability that you won't be able to get official OTA updates.

Why not go for B895?

Because there's no complete update.app, only differential update (https://dl.dropbox.c.../HwOUC-B895.zip). The best solution is to flash UK rom, root it, return old IMEI back, flash UK ROM (could be B892) and then try OTA update to B895 -> B93(6,7)

I'm on B886, still trying to decide what to update to but I downloaded the B895 and B936 zip files from the Huawei website before they pulled everything. I've since unzipped them but both ROM folders have a dload folder (with update.app) and Huawei Update Guide.

Well, would you be so kind and share B895?

You can go straight on B895. To make this ROM "original", just root&restore original IMEI and you should be ok.

I don't know how to share it. Presumably I upload it, I've not done it before, can you advise?

I think this is what you want? U8815_V100R001C02B895 (Android_2.3.6_England_Vodafone_05011EMW).rar (211.22 MB)
