Guest Tanner23 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) With all the talk of ICS on the forums at the minute I'm not sure how many of you are still left on stock B885. For those of you who are, an offical update appears to be availiable: Settings > About Phone > Online Upgrade > Firmware Upgrade From the short release notes, all I know is that it upgrades Google applications to version R10. Whatever that means. :P I'm downloading it now and will update once it's up and running. Edited July 17, 2012 by Tanner23

Guest Tanner23 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Alright it’s up and running. After a short play, the screen alignment issue is gone, and the three capacitive buttons seem to be way more responsive. :) Edited July 17, 2012 by Tanner23

Guest Tanner23 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 mine failed no idea why Mine updated without a hitch just like B885. At what point in the update did it fail, any errors?
Guest anything-but Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Strange they went to 892 instead of ics,unless it`s been put back? Weird if so seeing that 927`s just been leaked.
Guest mr_spatel Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Mine updated without a hitch just like B885. At what point in the update did it fail, any errors? went to the ota update, verfied etc, checked system then failed error code 7. will need to run again to get full error.
Guest FrankieADZ Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 well thats kinda annoying that i just went to B927 yesterday...lol.
Guest Hogweed Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Can someone verify the usual CWM Recovery installation and root methods work.
Guest Prog_Drummer Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Will I be able to install this if I'm running Paul's B888 gr1 and atomic mod without loosing settings and without a wipe? Thanks
Guest t-bon3 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Will I be able to install this if I'm running Paul's B888 gr1 and atomic mod without loosing settings and without a wipe? ThanksNo. Non. Niet. Nien.
Guest Rico_89 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Are you kidding me?? LMAO ah man where's jikobutsu at? Im not installing anything until I know I can root and unlock bootloader. Just read entire thread and this isn't Official UK ICS.. ?? What the .... :blink: Edited July 17, 2012 by Rico_89
Guest onericardo Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) So, this mean that the google play market issue is already fixed ? Since Huawei released this official update. Are there any links to download this firmware ? Can I update directly from B888 ? Edit: Nervermind. It's not ICS lol Edited July 17, 2012 by onericardo
Guest mr_spatel Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 went to the ota update, verfied etc, checked system then failed error code 7. will need to run again to get full error. Hi ok I fixed it, unrooted, installed 885 - update over OTA done.
Guest chico2069 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 To be honest and just leaving here my 2cents... of course any1's free to do what they want... but... I don't know, apart from wanting to keep the warranty or not feeling comfortable enough to do it, why any1 would want to keep, for example, a vodafone stock rom :) They're just filled with trash :) And there's more recent versions, there's ICS and with a CWM backup of the stock, u can always revert whenever needed :) Kind regards
Guest Rico_89 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Hi ok I fixed it, unrooted, installed 885 - update over OTA done. Ok so what's different in GB? Can you root etc?
Guest Adyx00 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Was B886 not the last official rom? That's what my phone came with...
Guest Hogweed Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) It's a 28 MB update zip. Had to restore my old Vodafone backup (B885) to get offered it over the air. Now have it stored locally but haven't tried it yet. Uploading it now. update.zip (Voda B892) - official signed update Link http://www.sendspace.com/file/jc7ov0 Edited July 17, 2012 by Hogweed
Guest Hogweed Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) And would someone who has installed this please verify that they can re-root and reinstall CWM. I'm assuming it should be ok as it seems to just be a patch, but would like that confirmed! Interesting it supposedly fixes the screen misalignment. Suggests it patches low level firmware. Edited July 17, 2012 by Hogweed
Guest mr_spatel Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Ok so what's different in GB? Can you root etc? The OS runs alot smoother, the capacitive buttons more responsive, just a nice smooth feel to it. I may not root, uninstall bloatware and wait for official ICS.

I may not root, uninstall bloatware and wait for official ICS. But could you try and see if it works using the previously documented method? Do you still have CWM after the update or did it flash a new recovery image as well? Edit: So you reinstalled stock B885 first - so no CWM then? Edited July 17, 2012 by Hogweed

Maybe UK ICS is further off than we expected.

I just rooted with pauls cool method. no custom recovery or clock work.
Guest Hogweed Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Ok so Paul's method flashes a new recovery (then refllashes stock recovery once it has done its work I believe) so even though you haven't installed CWM that must work if you managed to root. Thanks. Edited July 17, 2012 by Hogweed
Guest Hogweed Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) What I'm curious about is if I flash this over B885 stock then restore my current backup of Gr2 via CWM will I still have the screen alignment fixed? (ie did it update something at a low level out of reach of CWM - like the volume fix issue where you needed the official update first). If not then what changed? Suppose I could just try it but I never like to be the first... Edited July 17, 2012 by Hogweed
