Guest Rico_89 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I don't know why you guys are updating to 895? No where does it say you should have to do anything but upgrade in the normal manner. If an update isn't available via ota then .. an update isn't available. Finally, according to the info, on the original post, after updating your build number should be..... ".... version will show as U8815V100R001C02B936."

Guest Rico_89 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Can confirm 892 is now upgradeable Great.. now we need to know if the unlockbootloader.exe is working. If you can't unlock the phone completely then I wouldn't bother with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rico_89 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 If its bit for bit the same then surely it wouldn't make a difference From page three of this thread. Blown it. Used unlockbootloader, and indeed the phone was rooted OK, confimed by titanium. But then did the step to unlock the boot loader and now can't get any combination of buttons to start the phone.The update must have modded the boot loader... We need more info regarding this version that will update from B892 and it would be great if someone could get the update.app before they install.

It certainly wasn't offered yesterday,,, and i believe this is the pre-upgrade to the gull blown ICS version; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest synchropair Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 My two boys have these phones. All that i have done is to unlock them and update to 892.

Guest Rico_89 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 My attempt didn't lock back to Vodafone, I was still able to use Orange/TMO texts. Only the unlock bootloader went astray... That is a show stopper for sure. If you can't unlock the bootloader then this update is dead to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alpine101 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) That is a show stopper for sure. If you can't unlock the bootloader then this update is dead to me. The only thing I can think of is that the phone was already unlocked, because I'd done that when I first got it using Paul's method. I assumed the update, which at that point appeared successful, would have re-locked it, it had certainly lost root. So that's why I used the unlockbootloader.exe method. The first step regained root OK and the second step ran the unlock script, without any errors as far as I could see, though the dos window wasn't there for long. I don't remember it flashing the phones leds, but I might not have been looking. Edited November 1, 2012 by alpine101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time you install an update.app via ota or SD card, your phone will need to be rooted and the bootloader unlocked (if the bootloader is locked). If you did use the Gingerbread method to unlock ICS then that maybe an issue but as far as unlocking your phone, then you did the right thing using the .exe.

Guest alhimyaa Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I keep getting an error after attempting to install the update. I am on stock B892 and when I choose to download the OTA update, it asks if I want to restart to install it, when I say yes it would restart and take me to a page with a picture of an android with a triangle and exclamation point above it. Pressing the bottom left key shows me the following error message under the cwm-based recovery menu: E: unknown volume for path [sDCARD:HwOUC/update.zip Installation aborted I have tried installing through the CWM-Based Recovery menu too but get another error message: E:failed to verify whole-file signature E:signature verification failed Installation aborted And again even if I set the verification process to be skipped I get an error message. My phone is unlocked, via a code from vodafone when I first got the phone and rooted. Any help is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ota update has appeared this morning. Shall i update their phones or wait a bit. Will the update lock back to Vodaphone? I wouldn't use the OTA updates at all, as they are clearly inferior to the modified packages available here, which include some bugfixes for Huawei's funk ups.

Guest psionandy Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 the network lock is completely separate from the OS upgrade... so that shouldn't be a problem for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon O Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 To anyone that OTA updated: What is your build number shown in Settings > About phone > Build number I don't know if it's just me but I'm rather confused as to why some people have B936F (which is the new fixed update from Vodafone) and some have the older B936. This doesn't make any sense. There definitely IS a fixed ROM as quite a few people are reporting no issues with the new OTA.. so these people must have B936F.

Guest timfimjim Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Perhaps the people that updated ota by manually updating to b895 first got the b936 no f? Edited November 1, 2012 by timfimjim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b4da55 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I never forced it and have 936f. Ill make a copy and upgrade then report back.may be a while as on phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
