Yes, it's the first thing I would do. Check your PMs.

Same situation here - U8800 just arrived, lovely! But the updated firmware is no longer available from the Huawei web site. Can anyone send me a PM with a link to the latest firmware please? Thanks!

it always was and still there http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDA0MDg= (use download manager cause connection is not very stable)
Katu - your PM'img stuff is killing me. Why do you don't share link but sending PMs? What are you hiding?

Thanks Tommixoft.
I notice this is B162, which (I think) is the version intended for the China market. I was expecting B136. Is there any risk involved in flashing B162 on a UK model?

Did you actually managed to download the file?
Usually, there is no risk involved, except that it looks different and some apps will be missing...Check your PMs.

Download is in progress - slooooowwwly

Sure, instructions sent via PM.

OK, so here's the plan for how to spend my Saturday morning . Comments welcome.
1. upgrade firmware to B138
2. install superboot (not sure if I need to do this...)
3. install CWM 4.0.1.5
4. (optional) install new ROM (Oxygen 2.2.1 or FLB r7)
Did I miss anything?

Superboot was designed for 2.2.1 (B136) and may not work properly with 2.2.2 (B138). You don't need it at all if you install Oxygen/CM7/FLB/Miui.

Yup, I suspected that. Thanks for the confirmation!

So i received my X5 with U8800V100R001C00B135SP01 CUSTNLD253D001
I guess the customization is for Dutch market.
Does anyone know what these customizations are?
Also, i'm looking for a newer rom, but huawei isn't very helpful.
Can anybody please sent me a link to most recent stock rom that will work
in Europe (the netherlands)?
Thanks a lot for helping.

Any European B138 Roms should be much better compared to what you have now... The customization is limited to some applications that Netherlands Operator has agreed to get for this phone...Check your PMs...

Thanks!
I'll give it a try.
Does anyone know why they removed the roms from their site?

Katu, please send me that PM.

I've try'd the b136 rom for a week now, but i've found no differences... phone still reboots at random times. Using the dataconection (3G) gives reboots often.
Guess i've received a brick from Huawei.

Official Build 350 14 (Olleh?)

For all rom-flashing-addicts (including myself), just came across and downloading this link:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/streak_350_15367_14.pkg
Not sure if anyone can decrypt and post the recovery image. I will try to flash this with the 309 or 345 recovery.
Awesome where did you find this?

well it's not flashable via 345 recovery (figured it was worth a try)
Guess we have to wait for someone to decrypt it

Same here. Couldn't flash with recovery 309. mmmm... will try to get more info about decrypting pkg files. In the meantime, any help would be greatly appreciated...

Which recovery image did you use to flash this rom?
i decrypted it
Flash recovery from 345
then flash the pkg until it says reboot in 30 sec
then pull the memory card
and you should have the pkg.dec
Rename it to update.zip
reflash cmw or streakrecovery
and flash update.zip
Sounds long but its simple, if u r used to flashing streak
how do you decrypt it? could you share the update.pkg.dec pls?
decrypted pkg and updated wiki 345 is still the newest rom, the 350 build is approx 6 hours older.
files are all on the mirror site
I havn't checked the individial apps to see what's changed, but 350 is bundled with less apps (just from a file count of the app folder)
It's also (obviously) a branded rom, including a branded boot logo
It might have korean specific apps, but I dont plan on installing it, let other users instal and find out
Very branded and in Korean by default, got it running in eng and will run it for a while and see how it performs (deff has the pre 345 stage version).
*Update, nothing of major interest to me in this rom. going back to 347 (also even with language set to eng some things are still in Korean, not a show stopper but anoying).

actually the numbers you are referring to are described in the wiki (they indicate the intended region or carrier if I recall correctly) http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak (example 31 = USA AT&T wireless)

Not all versions are posted to the ota server, any that i'm missing a pkg for was likely only released to select groups.

4.010.24_4.010.40 update

Here we go (for apac countries)

Right after I flashed Richardtrip kernel and rebooted, did a manual check and the update poped up
I flashed back the stock kernel for testing and NO UPDATE. Hehe very strange.

thanks a lot used it for update my tablet, GOOOOOD
so this will update me to 4.010.40?

depends....
are you currently on 4.010.24 ??
whenever someone post an update file... it reads like this:
4.010.24_4.010.40
means you must come from 4.010.24 in order to updates to 4.010.40
otherwise... You risk bricking your device.
According to the original post, it would appear that this update only applies to those living in the Asia/Pacific market. Is this correct, or will it upgrade a US model correctly as well?

If your current ROM is 4.010.24 then it is fine to update. This is an incremental update, not a full rom.
If not, do not use this update.
You can refer to this notice by Acer for more information:
http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A500&OS=a07&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6
I'm on 4.010.24.....so after installing this...would I be able to receive future ota's??....also what new feature does this update have??

It's not corrupted, it just needs to be decrypted. Look for the Acer Decrypter thread.

Unable to debrand Huawei Nova

Hi everybody,
this is my first post so please forgive any "incorrect habit" might come out of this post.
My situation is the following: I bought a Huawei Nova smartphone about a week ago. It comes with Vodafone brand and the complete build model is CAN-L01C02B130CUSTC02D014.
I read lots of forum posts and blogs over the web and what I learned is that:
- L01 means single sim;
- C02 means that is branded Vodafone;
- B130 is the firmware version;
- CUSTC02D014 is the custom build with the debug version.
I want to debrand my smartphone (without unlocking or rooting it, if possible) so I downloaded FirmwareFinder and, from there, I fetched every firmware compatible with CAN-L01 following to my build model (made on 2016-09-14). Unfortunately, I was not able to install any of those firmwares (very strange).
Given the above-mentioned information, here are my questions:
1 - is it possible to debrand my smartphone without unlocking and rooting?
2 - is it really possible that every firmware made after mine (on 2016-09-14) failed to install?
3 - how can I pick a compatible firmware?
4 - someone wrote that before installing a more recent firmware, one must debrand by downgrading and then (only then) update the firmware itself. Is it true?
Thank you very much,
Valerio
Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers for more relevant answers.
Good luck
For your case you have to find a full update.app and to flash it via the tree buttons method

I think that is better not to install it using the three button method. If you going to do it, at least have a nandroid backup, assuming you unlocked your bootloader and installed the twrp.
One other way to try, requires a unlocked bootloader too, huawei extract tool and then flash system.img and boot.img at least.
I linked the source, but Idk if it is going to work and requeries courage to do this :/
Edit: sadly, wait for the official upgrad is the most safer thing to do right now

I can tell for sure, but from the changelogs I read, it seems it is a test build or something like that. I could open it with dsixda and will try to flash as soon I unlock the bootloader but I'm waiting to get the code.

Thank you so much for the link! I think it should go flawlessly as long as it is compatible with CAN-L01 (and it actually is). The only thing that stops is that it is a test build...maybe I'll wait the official release too.

[Guide] Online Firmware finder

Hello there,
Since a lot of users are using Huawei firmware finder app on desktop or phone and it's relatively slow I guess this link should be posted for quick search instead.
This is a Russian site, but you can translate it or not since it's really easy to navigate and it finds all results pretty fast.
You can even search Model number + carrier at the same time( for example FRD-L09C10) and it will filter only those results with changelog and download link. It's always up-to-date and faster than desktop or mobile app of Huawei firmware finder.
Link: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/база-найденных-прошивок/
PS: I'm not the owner of this site.
You can also use this address format if you don't speak Russian:
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L04C567
Replace FRD-L04C567 with the model you're looking for.
Though your link is in a prettier format.

You could try an update.zip, but if you've got the American model, you should be able to OTA update via the system settings.
