Can someone copy it off their phone to a PC before updating their phone please?

assuming it ever gets to my device, where would the download be?

[Davidoff59]

Settings menu, check for updates.

[Davidoff59]

which unlocker did you use, I think there are 2 for gb and ics boot loader. Did you try a battery pull?

The one downloaded from step 2 here:http://www.modaco.com/topic/355583-guide-how-to-install-and-root-ics-403-on-the-g300-b926hspa11/
which is said to be used after the ICS update. Which I had done...
Yes, battery pulled, I'll try leaving it out for some time but don't hold out much hope. I'm charging my little old Huawei... ICS was working fine until  that last step. Just don't attempt to unlock the bootloader using that application, rooting's OK.

Have you tried the force update method or will it not turn on at all? Could always return to vodafone, and say it broke updating to the latest ics which isn't really a lie.

I have an update.zip from HwOUC. Should I upload it?

[Davidoff59]

how big is it. Is it an update.app? wat version are you on now and what country?

[Davidoff59]

If you look inside it, there should be a PDF with instructions. Does it say what it is?

[johnpeterman]

I got the phone from UK but I don't live there.
I had B892 stock until today, when I downloaded B895 from the rapidshare link in this thread.
I've  successfully updated via dload folder, then I immediately received the notification to update via OTA.
I downloaded the file and copied it to my pc.

Please upload it.. someone can then make a CWM flashable zip

[johnpeterman]

Can you recommend a host, please?
Also, I have a bit of a problem, my sd card has only 1GB, and I can't update because I don't have the required space.

It won't turn on at all, as you'd expect if they've modded the boot loader and that unlock application is now patching the wrong places in it...
Bought it from Tesco some months ago. Pity. it was a nice phone!

You can copy the file to PC, take what you need off the SD card and wipe the rest. Apps are not transferred from gb to ics so take music, pics and videos off the SD card and wipe.

A gb app will generally force close if you try to reinstall a backup to ics.

i would recommend dropbox, as its the only site that doesnt delete your files and it has an unlimited file size

Solidfiles-max size is 250MB
Dropbox- max size is UNLIMITED
Mediafire-max size is ~250MB

Alpine, its not something I would expect to happen. Do power on and volume either up or down work?

[Davidoff59]

Can people on Huawei Hisuite check for an update. Im wondering if those on applicable update versions may see a rom update on hisuite where it wont show on the phone itself?

Quite.
I've tried all combinations, up/power, down/power, up/down/power. Dead as the proverbial!

[johnpeterman]

I made two volumes and started uploading them to dropbox and mediafire.
Meanwhile, despite having 549MB free, I can't install the update, it says insufficient space.
