Guest pirh Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi ! I'm looking for Huawei firmware for the IDEOS X3 for the U8510-0 i.e. the 2100 Mhz only version. As I understand the U8510-1 is 900/2100 and therefore I'm not sure firmware for that device will be compatible. Does anyone have any info to offer ? I found a (Malaysia General) firmware in the wiki: (thanks to McSpoon I assume :-) http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8510 But it is for the U8510-1 and I'm not sure what it might to do to my U8510-0 unit.. Rgds! pirh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi pirh, I've only just discovered this U8510 sub-forum so apologies for not replying sooner. Huawei have at least 2 separate download areas on their website - one is Worldwide and the other is Chinese. I rarely find any new files in the Chinese one but on this occasion there is a U8510-0 firmware. Here is the link. U8510-0 V100R001C197B819 Since the wiki is down at the moment here are all of the other U8510 links that I can find in case they're of any use to you. U8510-1 V100R001C00B822 (Malaysia General) U8510-1 V100R001C02B827 (Portugal Vodafone) U8510-92 V100R001C26B826SP01 (Japan Emobile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pirh Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi McSpoon, No worries :) Thank you very much ! It is indeed very helpful.. I've successfully flashed the U8510-1V100R001C00B822(Malaysia General) version on my U8510-0 The only difference seems to be the baseband version which has changed - this leads me to think that the U8510-1 and U8510-0 hardware is identical, simply with a different baseband (radio) firmware used. Btw the U8510-0 firmware you found is the Taiwan FarEasTone version. Thanks again and keep us posted on new versions ! -pirh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest john.smith Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I managed to flash my U8510-0 (bought from Taiwan) with a U8510-1 ROM. Everything appears OK at first, but then sometimes it shows no signal and I need to reboot the machine occasionally. I am not sure if it matters with the ROM.... will try with another U8510-0 ROM if I manage to find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
