Restore the g300 to the official ICS vodafone firmware

[Guest android789]

Hi. I need some help. I bought a g300 a year ago,and last week i switched to a Nexus 5. While having the g300,i rooted it,installed custom roms,mods,i played a little with it. Now i have to give my used Huawei phone to my father,and before i give it to him i would like to unroot my g300,remove CWM and restore it to the official ICS upgrade from Vodafone,with the italian language. Currently i have installed on my g300 the slim rom v13 based on ICS B952. Could you tell me how should i proceed from here? Or,if there is already a guide on the forum and i haven't found it (in that case,sorry my oversight) ,could you give me the link to that guide? Thanks (:

Download the latest update from the Vodafone Italy website or from here: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=18122

Copy the dload folder on the root of the SD card.

Turn phone on while pressing volume + & -.

Why do you want to hand the phone over with stock ICS?

In my opinion something like a GB ROM would be much better/more stable/more responsive.

That's what I did before I gave my G300 to my girlfriend - installed the 19808 baseband (http://www.modaco.com/topic/361310-downgrade-upgrade-from-recovery/) and CM7 (http://www.modaco.com/topic/365763-gb237-cyanogenmod-7-updated-181113/) and in my opinion it runs much better than stock ICS.

Installing Gingerbread is a good idea,but I would prefer the stock gingerbread firmware over a custom GB rom,without root and custom recovery,just to be sure that the phone would be stable and wouldn't have random reboots or stuff like that. I found it here (http://www.modaco.com/topic/353792-original-factory-roms-from-huawei/?hl=%20stock%20%20gingerbread). Just a question:before following the instructions in the link do i have to install GB baseband following the instructions in the first link you provided me?

I also restored to stock, so this is what i did

         Download Huawei stock firmware http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=18122

This is the latest(B961)

         Download and install 5irom from here http://www.modaco.com/topic/362677-how-to-downgrade-from-b952-to-gb/

And follow steps 2 and 3.

         Place the downloaded Huawei firmware in dload folder in the root of your SD card(if it isn't there, just create it)

         Turn off the phone, remove battery for 10 seconds, put the battery back, hold volume up and volume down keys while pressing the power button and it should start flashing.

          After it completes, root your G300 using this guide http://huaweig300.com/how-to-root-the-huawei-g300/

          Reinstall 5irom app and restore your IMEI.

          Done

 

You have to zero your IMEI, otherwise it won't force update.

Don't forget to make a copy of 5irom folder(from your SD and internal, depends on your default storage)

I have the old GB baseband, GB bootloader (purely because I was too lazy to do the official ICS bootloader unlock even though I got the code from Huawei!) and CM7 installed and it's rock solid - no reboots or anything. I'd recommend it if you are handing the phone over to a non techie user.

...mmmh alright,you conviced me. I will follow your advice and then i'll make you know how it goes. Thank you very much (:

Alright,last Sunday i flashed cm7  and gave the phone to my father. After a week of use it seems it hasn't had any problem at all,so i think that i will keep it. Thanks again guys for the support,you are great (:

[Guest dalyer]

Glad to hear that.

My gf seems to be getting on OK with CM7 too.

I tried the phone recently and it seemed a bit laggy but I just rebooted it to see if that helped.
