Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 Hello. My G510 started going bad a few days ago. The top of the touchscreen is not working anymore.So, this means i need to take it back to Vodafone as it still is under warranty. Im guessing I'll need to reflash the original ROM on it, or else they will send me back home. I got the UPDATE.APP file for Vodafone Romania.. but i cannot flash it. I created a 'dload' folder on my SD card (so external storage, not internal) with the UPDATE.APP file inside. However, Volume up + down + power got me into CWM. After that, i found a nice tutorial for restoring the original recovery. It was a script that depackaged the update.app and one of the files was the recovery image. Flashed it using fastboot and now i got the original recovery (at least i think it is).Still, pressing Volume up+down+power does not automatically start installing the update.app, it just gets me into a recovery similar to CWM (but not the same..black background, an opened droid icon at the start).After getting into this recovery, i go to the 'install from sd card' option and i select my update.app file. But it fails.I have no idea on what I should do next...
Guest wbrambley Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 Install custom recovery again then flash this: https://mega.nz/#!HB4GVa5B!Bbh-k3i-PlNpLOZuPga-WUTNXskSTvBSSXaWgC9YoDIIt is b170 stock. Then from the stock ROM I believe you have an option to update from local source(dload folder in root of SD card)
Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 My stock should be B193. I am guessing B170 will not work for me. What file is that in your link? I am asking so that i might locate the one needed for B193
Guest wbrambley Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 My stock should be B193. I am guessing B170 will not work for me. What file is that in your link? I am asking so that i might locate the one needed for B193Can you give me a link for your B193 ROM and I will make one you can flash from custom recovery.
Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-YpBwSQNrniU0VPOEp0a2QtcGc/view?usp=sharingit is 1.2 gigs.
Guest wbrambley Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 Cool. you will need to reinstall TWRP (recomend 2.6.3.3) or CWM(haven't tried it on this)
Guest wbrambley Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 Hi, sorry to say there is a CRC error for system.img in both your update.app and another i found on mega.co.nz.Can you find the complete package in the original rar?
Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 I am guessing the one you found on mega.co.nz is the same one i sent, as that was the only link i could find with a b193 romanian update.app.I am guessing that if i flash a UK update.app it should still work, if it's made for g510-0100 and it is B193.. Right? If yes, here is the official link: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/support/downloads/g510-en.htmFrom what i can tell, this file is the same as the one i sent originally (same file size in bytes). Huawei had a link for the romanian version for update.app but it does not work anymore.. I downloaded it a while back, but i am not sure if this is it:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-YpBwSQNrniRWxzSXVFa1Noajg/view?usp=sharingThis file appears to be a little different that the other ones. By the way, thank you very much for helping me!
Guest wbrambley Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 It will take me a while to upload, upload speed is rubbish here. Do you have a CWM/TWRP backup with your original /cust partition?
Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) No, I do not have a backup of anything.. Btw, did one of the files above worked fine? If yes, could you tell me which one? Edited August 22, 2015 by GodsOtherHand
Guest wbrambley Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 The Europe version built OK, the /cust partition may be a little different to Romanian version but it should work fine.

Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 I cannot download the file... it says "the file you are trying to download is no longer available" :(. Maybe bad URL? Or they deleted it..If they deleted it, could you maybe upload it to something like google drive and i will post here once it is downloaded so you can delete it (so it won't take up space)?

No, my bad. I had it in sync folder then moved or deleted it on the PC.Will re-upload.
Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Ok, ty :D just tell me when it's up :P
Guest wbrambley Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Ok, ty :D just tell me when it's up :PG510-b193-Europe.zip(sorry for delay, been busy) Edited August 25, 2015 by wbrambley
Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Ty for making the zip. However after flashing it, the phone is stuck.. i get the 'android' logo (this one; http://techwikasta.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/EmulatorBootAnim.jpg) and nothing happens.. after 1 hour i took the battery out.. However i do notice that CWM is gone and the original recovery is installed.I will try using TWRP but it should behave the same.. Edited August 25, 2015 by GodsOtherHand
Guest wbrambley Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 https://mega.nz/#!KBgjXBJC!ab2TrRhO6ZxViHtH5FrXoNUTNJnAU7GVhNLJN1lYMBALink to twrp 2.6.3.3 if you don't have it. It's in zip file but you can extract .img and fastboot flash.
Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Hello. Sorry for late reply. Did not have access to pc :P.It behaves the same way..stuck the the boot-up animation screen. However i notices a few errors after flashing the .zip in the earlier like (G510-B193-Europe.zip).It says: E: Unable to find partition size for '/recovery'E: unale to mount 'internal_sd'E: Unable to recreate and-sec folderE: Unable to mount 'internal_sd'Updating partition details...Full SELinux support is present...E: Unable to set emmc bootloader message. After that it says it flashed a few .img files and it was successful. A few errors might have been before (only seen these as the 'Unable to find partition size for /recovery' error is the 1st line in the log). I will reflash a little later and will post an update if more errors are shows while flashing.But still wont go past the android boot-up screen. UPDATE: Tried to flash again to observe errors..but now no errors. But phone still stuck after reboot.. Edited August 27, 2015 by GodsOtherHand
Guest wbrambley Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Doesn't sound good. Have you tried installing the update.app from the European version?
Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 I installed a stock B199 image on the device, and that seemed to work. After that is used 'local update' to try out different update.app files. However i cannot find a Vodafone B193 or B195 image. (The phone originally had B193 but received the B195 update)... Tried the European version, but it is not what i need. Looks like i will have to return it this way and hope for the best, as i could not find any vodafone update.app
Guest wbrambley Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 There was a b200 released for g510-100, can't recall if it was Vodafone or not.
Guest GodsOtherHand Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 No, not Vodafone. I have a friend who has the same phone bought 2-3 days apart from the same Vodafone store. After checking for updates, still b195. Btw, could i create an UPDATE.APP from his phone to use in mine? The ROM should be right what i need..
Guest wbrambley Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 Update.app no. But you could do twrp or cwm backup and restore all except /data onto your phone. If using twrp, remember it makes a different sub folder for different phones and you will have to move his backup to your phone's folder.Once done push the stock recovery onto it and that should be enough to fool them.
