Guest xdandroid Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 WIFI fixed. the file /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf is missing, what you have to do to get it working is this: 1. root the phone with z4root (enable unknown sources, copy the apk to the SD-card and launch it from there with the built-in file manager, run z4root and select "permanent root") 2. connect with adb and get root adb shell $ su (press allow on the phone to allow su) 3. remount /system rw: mount -rw -o remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system 4. make /system writable chmod 755 system 5. copy the file cd /system/etc/wifi busybox cp /system/cust/hw/default/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf now you can enable wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IceXcube84 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 And if you dont like the stock music player here is a modded T-Mobile Pulse Music Player that is green instead for pink. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6524760/Experiment...20No%20pink.rar And its working perfect on the U8500 I found it in the FLB-Mod for U8220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pulseuser1 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 A bit off topic but has anyone seen this little UI that's all the buzz now, apparently Cyanogen is also interested in porting this thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT48H5VrsmM...feature=related I saw a video where the phone app is shown and it looks awesome. Maybe a bit too Iphone but some may argue that it's in fact the best of both worlds Cheers I most definitely agree with you. This would be awesome on our phones ;) :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sh4d0w940 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) I've deodexed the apps but since I'm running the CM mod I can't try them. Also there's a lot of chinese stuff in the rom but some of the apps and all widgets are translated in a lot of different languages. The rom mentioned in the first post is bound to one provider and at least one app checks wheter your sim is from that provider. If someone (who understands chinese?) wants the deodexed apps I might upload them. So the widgets are definitely in the rom and if someone really wants them it should be possible to get them running on different roms. Edit: It not usefull for Pulse owners but I forgot to mention that I've also found an wifi tether app included in the rom :unsure: Sh4d0w940 Edited January 2, 2011 by Sh4d0w940 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the apps i think will work on the U8220/Pulse. I have not tested it yet but i will when i get time to do it. I did not like the music player in the U8500 so i change it to that other one i have posted here before that i found in the FLB-Mod Thread i think it was? Not sure... But if its not to much asked can you upload the deoxed apps from the China Telecom firmware for the U8500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?rq5iic4db7awt2j Only some google apps are missing because they're not different from pulse roms and give problems with deodexing. And the tether app doesn't work, it needs some files from lib and bin but if you copy them over it still gives errors. Sh4d0w940 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ADD-VT Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Flashed it to my U8500 bought in Sweden and it's very fast and has lots of nice widgets (and chinese applications) but WIFI doesn't work. im trying to download it but it times out..

Sh4d0w940 Thank you for the file that you uploaded for me :unsure: B) im trying to download it but it times out.. Anyone please send me a link where i can download the U8500 firmware Here you can download the China Unicom firmware for the U8500 http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/productFeat...0&treeId=30 And then you click on a button with the text: 下载 that means downloads i think U8500 V100R001C17B259 2010-12-16 That is the newest China Unicom firmware. And here under is the firmware for the MTC Evo This version seems to be very clean nothing special in it and there is MTC apps in it but no nice widgets i think. U8500V100R001C96B257 (MTC Evo) Belarus http://mts.by/support/phones/update/firmware_update_mts_evo/ Here is some links for the MTC Evo http://forum.onliner.by/viewtopic.php?t=2090167 http://www.onliner.by/test/gsm/huawei_u8500/ I have not test the China Unicom or the MTC firmwares for i dont risk to lose the swedish version in my little sisters U8500 Its not my phone. Not my fault if something go wrong... Iam trying to find or get the firmware that is in the Swedish version of the Huawei U8500 that you get here in sweden. U8500V100R001C00B259 is the name of the firmware. I have not found it yet if i do i will upload it to my Dropbox or post the link here.

Guest McSpoon Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 There is a firmware labeled U8500 V100R001C00B259 hidden away on the Huawei website. It has the word 'Normal' commented alongside it, which suggests it doesn't have any Swedish customisations but it could be the same firmware.

Guest McSpoon Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 How the hell did you find it? ... Sorry if i ask but have you seen some firmware for the Huawei U8300? Basically the way I discover them is this: Every download on the Huawei website is referenced by a number (the fileName parameter in the URL). Increment that number and you get a different file. So I just keep incrementing it to discover what's there. They support a LOT of products so there are thousands of updates, most of which are irrelevant to their Android devices. I setup a script to do it back when we were eagerly awaiting their Android 2.1 U8220 firmware and I still run it occasionally because it's easier than trying to navigate their website to find updates. Here are the U8300 firmwares: U8300 V100R001ITAC113B259 (Italy Wind) U8300 V100R001SWEC125B258 (Sweden HI3G) U8300 V100R001AUSC34B257SP01 (Australia Optus) U8300 V100R001AUSC34B260 (Australia Optus) U8300 V100R001THAC208B261SP01 (Thailand TOT) U8300 V100R001THAC208B263 (Thailand TOT) U8300 V100R001C09B261SP01 (Poland P4) Just to keep this thread on topic, some more U8500 firmwares: U8500 V100R001C00B259 (Normal) U8500 V100R001C66B257 (Russia VIP) U8500 V100R001C66B257 (Russia VIP) U8500 V100R001C05B257 (Taiwan CHT) U8500 V100R001C96B257 (White Russia mts) U8500 V100R001C24B260SP01 (Lithuania OMNITEL) U8500 V100R001C38B260 (Malaysia Maxis) U8500 V100R001C44B261 (Angora Unitel) U8500 V100R001C230B259 (Pakistan ufone) And a new device called the UM840 (Android 2.1) which appears to be based on the U8500: UM840 V100R001C32B251 (Venezuela Movilnet) Warning: You can easily brick your phone with these files. Only install the correct firmware if it matches the build number on your device (Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number). There is a Perl script for unpacking UPDATA.APP files to safely explore their contents. See this thread for info on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 70challenger Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I have bought this phone recently and cannot get it to find my network and was wondering if I should try a new firmware as this one is from Belarus and I am in Canada. I do not see the option to choose network mode WCDMA and think this is the problem. It is an MTC Evo branded phone. I have downloaded the normal firmware but have no idea how to install it but can follow instructions very well. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press and hold Volume Up + End Call and start the phone while holding these two buttons. Your phone will be flashed with the new firmware. If this will solve your issues i couldn't tell you.
