New rom from huawei


Recommended Posts

It's only for the new U8220 with larger memory. Will not fit on U8230 or Pulse.

fibblesan, I believe this one did fit on the "pulse". There was another that was released for the large memory versions of the phone. But although this one had yet another partition scheme, with less userspace in the end, it could be flashed onto our phones.

Did you try to use the .zip file I uploaded? I have used this method to install HanvonCalla a number of times. This avoids "pushing" (needing to know how to use ADB). What I was trying to explain there was that IF it failed to install, it was probably a lack of space. Try it and see if it works for you on some non-Chinese enabled rom. :lol:

succeed!

...I probably made an error while editing the update script on my trial.

Any idea what it is? I'm downloading now, but I don't have a phone to try it on.

good for you..

DO NOT flash it directly onto your phone, extract it instead

I think U8220-6 is a provider-specific model, built for Hong Kong PCCW mobile...

It has fewer radio bands or something..

----[update]-----------------------------------------------------------

U8220-6:

3G: WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA (850/1900/2100)

2G: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900)

U8220

3G: 900/2100

2G: 900/1800/1900

picked up the info again on Huawei chinese technical support forum

Regarding the U8220-6 V100R001C00B282.

Just DON'T DO IT!!!

I have a HUAWEI 8220-6 and it totally messed it up:

The update installed and it boots up but within 10 seconds of getting to the desktop it freezes and then reboots.

I couldn't get to the about to figure out what version it is.

You cannot currently downgrade and go back since the new firmware version gives you the 'OEMSBL version unmatched' when trying the Huawei downgrade uppdate.app .

I have a NANDROID backup of my previous FLB 1.7 but currently no way of applying it.

Any help would be appreciated on how to sort this mess

I think I've found the problem...

Running clockwork recovery and checking the log here's what it comes up with:

Formatting SYSTEM:...

mtd: not erasing bad block at 0x00c80000

mtd: not erasing bad block at 0x04420000

mtd: not erasing bad block at 0x0a8e0000

Done.

Formatting DATA:...

mtd: not erasing bad block at 0x03ca0000

mtd: not erasing bad block at 0x04a20000

mtd: not erasing bad block at 0x0d840000

Is this the EOL for this unit?

Is there any way to reformat an YAFFS2 system and get rid of the bad blocks???

Any ideas???

If I recall correctly, there were two different "time machines" put out by Huawei. Have you located and tried both?

Yes, I found the link on their community forum - whenever it displays the threads.

I also put a message there for them to revise it... maybe one day!

You can open the update.app with a text or hex editor and see which firmware revisions it recognizes and the second one has more listed in it but not

the latest. Any tampering with the file leads to a read failure since the file signature is invalidated.
