What do you think about the Motorola Moto G XT1039?

In your opinion is it a valid alternative to this huawei or do you know a cheaper alternative?

It's a decent device. It's getting a little old now and it's not going to receive an official Marshmallow update (well, I doubt this device is either). 2nd gen Moto G might be a better option. msm8909 chipset on this device and msm8x26 on Moto G 1st and 2nd gen (and on various mid-range devices past couple of years) are practically the same. Moto G has better display than this.

It's getting off topic...

Hi thanks for your work. I guess 4g works as well?

What bothers me most of the Y560 is that I can not put in an USB stick to copy data from SD to a USB. Is that possible in Cyanogen rom you made?

 

Can you expand your install guide to make it idiot proof as I never changed a rom and want to put on your rom. So a bit more detailed perhaps? Thank you so much.

Does this Cyanogen rom  has root access by default?

Yes, 4G works.

You mean USB OTG? I haven't looked into it yet but I guess hardware doesn't support it.

There's instructions in TWRP thread how to install custom recovery. There's installation instruction in the third post of this thread how to install this ROM. I really can't make it any simpler than that. It's no different to installing a custom ROM on any regular Android device.

Yes, CyanogenMod comes with built in root management but you need to enable it in the settings (FAQ, third post).

Hi, I have an issue with not-working back-camera of my Y560-L01 Instead front camera since I installed your fantastic mod. I lurked everywhere but no one seems have had that issue or similar.

Tnx!!

I haven't heard of any issues with camera. Maybe your device has different camera hardware. Please post dmesg after booting and logcat after trying to initialize camera.

I've also written an app that pulls some hardware info. What does your's say under primary camera? Here's the app: http://konstakang.com/devices/y560/Y5Info (edit. updated to support Y560-U23)

Does it still work in stock ROM? Hardware failure?

Can you attach a dmesg booting stock ROM? What does the app say on stock ROM? What's your stock ROM version (build.prop)?

I have the same issue as metalzone.

I checked my camera model with y5info.apk, it is the same as metalzone's.

Yeah, it seems you have slightly different camera hardware. This should be easy to fix. Just need to use kernel from your stock firmware and add few missing binary blobs.

Can you upload boot.* and system.* from your stock TWRP backup? I'll need the boot image very least. These don't hold any of your personal information.

Alright, I'll check for corruption and begin the upload as soon as possible

Huh, it's exactly the same firmware (Y560-L01V100R001C577B040) I have and what I'm using kernel and proprietary blobs from. :o Maybe we'll just need the missing binary blobs then. Install this in TWRP and report back. If it still doesn't work, I'll need those logs (dmesg, logcat).

That is just superb. The camera works now.

That's what I figured. I checked the files in /system/vendor/lib/, there were camera related files with the string 'f140858r' but none with the other camera model.

Would this work for your CM13 build? I am tempted to try it but I assumed the camera wouldn't work so I didn't bother.

Great :)

Yes, same patch will work on CM13, too.

HI konstaT,

I would like to say a BIG "thank you"! I was able to install your TWRP Recovery Image and after that i installed your CM12 ROM without problems.

I appreciate your work, and hope you can win your GPL battle with HUAWEY.

tnx fot the patch but I encountered another issue -.-

when I try to re-install your mod following the steps in the instruction and install the gapps-pico and the patch, the phone automatically boot on TWRP. 

So I try to reinstall the stock backed-up before and the scenario shows the same. 

retried to reinstall the mod that gave the same results upon.

:(

Well, it's not my battle alone. This concerns anyone who has this device or anyone who has a Huawei/honor device as releasing incomplete kernel sources seems to be more or less company policy from what I've heard. Even if you'd never install a custom ROM/kernel you have every right to inspect the source code you're running in binary form on your device.

I've since managed to partially reconstruct the kernel source. I was looking into purchasing Lenovo Tab 2 A10-30 because I'd still want some msm8909 device as a dev toy. :P I downloaded its kernel source and to my surprise saw bunch of 'yep' stuff that are also present in the Huawei Y5 kernel source. It turns out both of these devices are ODM/OEM'd by YEP Telecom(?) and they're part of the same 'family'. I found the missing touchscreen driver there and bunch of other stuff. Currently everything besides audio is basically working. I still consider the kernel source to be too incomplete for any actual use, though. https://github.com/KonstaT/android_kernel_huawei_msm8909/tree/reconstruct

Check the integrity of your files. Or try without the gapps. You've already managed to install it at least once. ROM hasn't changed - TWRP hasn't changed...

re-installing the stock recovery resolves that issue. -.-
I suppose something gone wrong that has corrupted the TWRP. 

Scuse me for not post the logs, but I got not much time in these days.

Thank you for assistance supporting!!

Mine (well not exactly, its firms phone) stock rom randomly reboots, not even sure why. I have only few apps. Any ideas what to do? Well apart from flashing this rom.

I highly doubt that. Never heard of recovery getting corrupted.

Old trick with putting some paper between battery helps? I doubt flashing any ROM will make any difference.

It happened to me too, I was fiddling with the phone and somehow got it to recovery loop. Don't remember what I did to achieve that. I fixed it by flashing stock recovery and kernel. My google skills told me a recovery flag was stuck on somewhere or something... Anyway, that's when I flashed back to stock and I took a backup which enabled me to send it to you, KonstaT.
 

If anyone needs the stock rom, it is available here: http://consumer.huawei.com/at/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=56623

I flashed it by booting stock recovery, the update.App needed to be in a folder named dload on sdcard. It started it automatically for me, YMMV.

What kind of old trick is this? Where exactly do I need to place paper?

Hello, I own a huawei y560-u23 and I wanted to ask if all the development done to the y560-l01 (recoveries, roms, etc...) can be installed without issues on this variant of the phone?. If some info is needed to confirm this, I'll try to help. 

I noticed inside my /system/lib/hw there are files with msm8909 on its names.

Edit1:

Ok, I saw this message that you posted in the TWRP thread

Quote

This should work on Huawei Y5 Qualcomm msm8909 variants (Y560-L01/L02/L03). CyanogenMod builds might need some work to support Y560-L02/L03 depending what's different on those devices (if any? - haven't looked into it). Y560-U23 has different camera and sensors afaict.

According to that, I suppose it indeed will work on the U23 variant but CM won't have working camera and sensors. So another question, does that kind of issue could be fixed with some kind of patch similar to the one you uploaded on previous messages?
