Guest Ereptor Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Okay, but just to make sure: are we talking about the ICS upgrade downgrade toolkit B927? The UPDATE.app is only 56 byte, which doesn't look too good in my opinion. Never mind, it's the vendor files, not the rom itself. But where can I get the different versions then? The only one I know is the official Huawei one, which I downloaded from their site. Edited October 4, 2012 by Ereptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wrtease Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'm on mobile so i can't say.what size it is sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) The downgrade dload is only a tiny file. Do that first then try an official rom. Edited October 4, 2012 by Frankish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ereptor Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Okay, I'll try the downgrade method, maybe it will repartition everything and stuff. Edit: It stops at 2/3 of the bar. It really looks like the eMMC was fried, but for some reason the test don't suggest it at all. Weird...

Guest tcpaulh Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hmm, try forced downgrade "middle file" method using vol+ and vol- and power at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tcpaulh Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 If that doesn't work, try tillaz's redirector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ereptor Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) I'd love to try tillaz's redirector, do you have a link for that? Never mind that, I really think that the eMMC is corrupted, even though the test completes just fine. Every update stalls at the same exact point, I guess that's where the script is trying to access the cache partition. My friend is coming over today anyways, so we'll just take our chance and go to the costumer support, maybe they won't notice that the boot screen is chinese and CWM is installed... slim chances, but that's the last thing I can think of. That, or I'll have to lend him the money to buy a new phone. Lesson learned, lesson learned indeed. Edited October 4, 2012 by Ereptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tcpaulh Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 <snip> i could give you a script that converts the cache to the sdcard or RAM at boot. </snip> I'd love to try tillaz's redirector, do you have a link for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ereptor Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Well, the guy who we talked to didn't catch that the bootscreen was different, so he sent it to be repaired without any problem. I'll be sure to tell you guys how the things work out, but we might just make it *fingers crossed*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ereptor Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yeah, pretty much. If the repairman says anything about what the problem is I'll tell you, but we'll just have to wait for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest waynepyrah Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Cheers certainly interested in hearing what caused it, mine has just gone back but won't hear anything on mine as its just a catalogue company. Keeping this new one on gingerbread lol - have installed a halo launcher so it looks and feels more like ics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ereptor Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hi guys. Just got the word back from shop that repairs it. Since they aren't completely idiots they figured out that the phone was reflashed, so the phone's warranty is devoid. They said that they need to replace a main part of the phone (they didn't specify what, even if I asked), which would cost half the price of the phone itself. Don't take this for granted though, as I said it's a pretty little shop that's in charge of repairing Huawei phones in my country, so I'm pretty sure they just want to squeeze out as much money as they can out of the situation. That being said, the hardware failure is pretty much assured, so probably no luck for you guys either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hogweed Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) It's a linux system at heart and can still boot linux. All other partitions seem to be intact. In theory it really should be possible to fix this even if that meant repartitioning the phone to avoid bad memory locations if indeed there is an actual hardware fault as opposed to a simple corrupt partition. I'm dubious about a hardware fault that somehow only ever breaks the cache partition leaving all other partitions intact. Smells of a software bug to me but can't be certain of that.

Guest nosucherror Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Same problem here, I sent it to the Huawei repair centre in Norwich, UK and they promptly sent it back unfixed with a note saying I had invalidated the warranty and the phone had sustained physical damage due to third party software being present on the phone (now brick). I then tried to put in a complaint and got the call centre run around until I gave up even doing that. £100 for a phone that lasted one year and two months.

Guest dalyer Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Do you definitely have /dload/update.app in the root of your external sdcard? Is it definitely intact and not a corrupted download? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
