They seem to be solved. It's a bootloader issue and not a CM issue. Some people are testing it right now.

I know, I got restarts on all roms I tested until now, even with Paul's kernel...the manufacturers of Huawei are really dumb: they provided us with an open source of the rom&kernel but they didn't take in account bootloader issues...

[Dazzozo]

What? Huawei's bootloader has no issues. The "unlocked" bootloader does. This is not Huawei's problem.

[vibracopilu]

And are there any chance that the unlocked bootloader will be 100% reboot-free?

[Dazzozo]

That's what's being tested now.

[vibracopilu]

Ok, I will report any reboot.

PS: The rom is running smoother than ever, thanks for the hard work

You don't even have the new bootloader!

I misunderstood this reply then

It's not part of the ROM. If you're having reboots its going to require you to "re-unlock" your bootloader again when the new one is up.

[Pain_Deluxe]

reunlock without reinstall CWM ect?

[sizzla01]

I'm very new to this and only stubbled across this site after my vodafone upgrade from GB to ICS was awful.

Anyway i followed the resources guide and successfully installed this custom rom - which is wicked...

The issue i have with the 2/2/13 update is that it just won't work via the OTA upgrade (upon rebooting it won't go beyond the HUAWEI screen)

Anyway i'm messing about with the 4.2 JB for now - but at some point would like to go back to this version until the JB is worked on abit more.

The other OTA updates will load (i.e the JB update im using now)...Any ideas ??

Right, the new bootloader is available: https://docs.google....Kq10K_-aeM/edit

Hey dazzazo, I tried the new bootloader but I get the 'permission denied' error.

I rooted the G300 way back with the first semi-official ICS build. Since then, I've installed the newest CWM and enjoyed your CM10 and CM10.1 builds, upgrading OTA. For what it's worth, this is the splash screen of what I assume is the current bootloader: http://i.imgur.com/jwvqjcW.jpg

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so any help/input is appreciated!

Also getting Permission Denied with the new bootloader.  I've got debugging enabled.

Edit: if you're on CM, you need to allow root via adb shell. It's in developer options somewhere. In my defense I was on stock because I had to re-update.app when I bricked my device while hacking.

You don't need to run the root script, that's only there for rooting on stock.

Ah I see the option, 'Developer Options' => 'Root access' => 'Apps and ADB'. I'll try again.

edit: seems to have worked, no error message

To update bootloader on Linux, I only need to start script:

bootloader-linux.sh

?

P.S. I'm on rooted stock B952 with unlocked bootloader and CWM 6.0.2.7 installed...

Cheers mate, that got it!  I'd just flashed CM9 from fresh and forgotten to enable it...  All sorted!  Now to see how the new bootloader performs!
