Guest Frankish Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Can someone mirror the file in second post? Tried over 10 times to download and its slow as sin and fails after different periods of time? Maybe I need a download manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaisyGrubber Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I've downloaded this file from the Polish mirror site, but the pdf says I must have software version U8815V100R001C02B936 or software version U8815V100R001C02B937. I have version U8815V100R001C02B952. Is there anything I can do? Help! I can't stand ICS any longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest billpine Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Praise the lord its possible to downgrade! ICS on this G300 is driving me mental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Griff86 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Can't WAIT to get Gingerbread back! I've had the problems listed above but it's also just the little things. For example, example, why did they get rid of the bubble style text in sms? It looked nicer and was easier to see who was who, now it's just bland white boxes joined together so unless there's a picture of your friend you have to read back through the thread to make sense of the conversation. I remember the phonebook being a lot easier to navigate and edit etc, with this I end up accidently ringing people. The Homepage, you used to be able to scroll through that 360 degrees, now, when you get to one end you have to go all the way back to the other end. These might seem like minor problems but they shouldn't have been problems in the first place. If anyone from Google or Huawei's reading this remember, "If it ain't broke don't fix it!"

Guest dalyer Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Does anyone know if this downgrade will work for Vodafone Ireland too? Currently on b936 and its terrible here. I presume that it would but you might need to configure the APN for VF Ireland (manually or via Tweakker App for example). However I'd like to know for sure too as I have a VF Ireland handset although now unlocked and on another network... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kerrit Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi, I have U8815V100R001C185B935 version can I still downgrade my phone? and do I need to root my phone first? Please help me im noob on this, its first android I have and I dont want ISC on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 If you can get to B936/7 then you can probably use this: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDY4ODE= Does your carrier offer an upgrade to B936/7? If not then I'm not sure if you can just download it here and do it... Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kerrit Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Thanks, but I dont know how to use these packs, do I need to root my phone? and no, it doesnt ask me upgrade my phone. I really need help, if there is anyone who has time and wants to help me, thanks or I can download somewhere b936 update from internet and then downgrade mobile? can someone send trusted links and help?:) Edited January 23, 2013 by kerrit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) As far as I know ... if you get a "repack" version of a stock ROM then it's in a zip format suitable for use with CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery. I can't remember but I think you do have to root to install and use CWM. So if you don't want to do that then you probably need to get an original version which should be a zip file that you unzip and then copy the dload/update.app (or something like that) to the root of your sdcard. Then you reboot into the stock recovery which should automatically find and install the update. (Make sure your battery is well charged to avoid losing power while flashing a ROM). Again I can't recall offhand the key combination to boot into stock recovery (power + volume up maybe) but the info should be available elsewhere. Hope this helps. Edit: The link in this post http://www.modaco.co...6/#entry2077288 is to the original B936 for Vodafone UK. The download is safe and when you unzip it there are instructions included. I reckon that you can try that and then use the previously mentioned official Huawei ICS to GB downgrade procedure. The B936 update and Huawei ICS to GB downgrade do not need root or anything "special" like CWM. However not having done this myself I can't say this with 100% confidence that it will work so caveat emptor. :) Edited January 23, 2013 by dalyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kerrit Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks for trying to help, that CMW recovery looks very difficult, I need to root phone to use this, yes? And sadly I cant use that B936 for Vodafone Uk thing, because I dont have right version to upgrade my phone to that. I hope you understood what I sayd :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Fair enough if you don't want to root, CWM etc. Not everybody wants to hack their phone like that. :) Are you saying that you tried the B936 update that I linked to above but it failed? Sorry - just read the upgrade notes for thet update and I see that B935 is not listed as one of the versions that can be upgraded with the B936 update.

Guest kerrit Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I would root the phone to downgrade the mobile back ofcourse, but Im not good at that, if I make a mistake istalling CWM then my mobile can mess up or smth like that? and I dont know where to start with this:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 If the following is not possible - and maybe somebody else can comment as I am not sure... (1) Upgrade your B935 to B936 using the stock B936 even though the upgrade guide does not list B935 as being supported... (2) Use the Huawei official ICS to GB downgrade procedure to go from B936 to B895 (assuming it can't go from B935 to B895) then perhaps you can root, install CWM and install the CWM repack zip of B936: and THEN do (2) above? How to root and install CWM is covered in detail elsewhere - e.g. here: In some cases specific ROMs may require a specific version of CWM so check this if in doubt. If none of the above works then the only other option seems to be this downgrade route but it seems complicated and possibly risky: Hope this helps. Maybe somebody with more hands on experience of this stuff than me can comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest billpine Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 For those who haven't yet tried, downgrading from the B936 repack to official B895 doesn't work. Pick progress bar stalls at about a quarter. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks - I wasn't aware of that. I'll update my post above to avoid confusion so. Did you experience this? And get past it? I guess the key question for kerrit is can the Huawei Vodafone UK B936 just be installed over B935 (even though it is not explicitly listed in the documentation as one that can be upgraded) in order to then use the Huawei ICS (B936/7) to GB (B895) downgrade? I'm assuming that B935 to B895 is not feasible. And I'm not sure what's the worst case scenario if you try B935 -> B936 and if fails? Bricked?

Guest billpine Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Afraid so :( Middle Package didn't load properly and the update it's self didn't load. Someone here said it's because I have taken the zip route rather than the official method. The only other way around it as I see it to find a zip GB, flash the phone then write the IMEI back to it with one of the tools knocking around here and XDA. I plan on doing this tomorrow :wacko: Edited January 25, 2013 by billpine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Bummer! :( Good luck with getting it back working. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vhristenco Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I just downgraded from B952 back to B895 yesterday. The only working route was as follows: - zero imei (already had an imei backup) - middle package - flash B882 - root, cwm - restore imei - flash B892 - upgrade to B895 - root, cwm That returned the phone to out-of-the-box state. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tcpaulh Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hehe, also I thought it was restore imei before installing cwm as it uses stock recovery to do some wipes or something when restoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
