New to U8800H! - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hi, i recently bought a Huawei U8800H in Hong Kong, and wanted to know if there are any updated official firmware english or spanish, because its filled with bugs and many many thing in chinese (despite changing lagauage on the phone).
My phone has this firmware: U8800H V100R001HKGC104B135
Can I put any U8800/U8800H firmware on it? Any tutorial/links?
Are U8800/U8800H interchangable?
Thanks!

Hi, as nobody ansewer yet, I found out they U8800 & U8800H are not firmware interchangeable. So Im on the quest of finding out the latest and best firmware for U8800H, and it appears that this one U8800H V100R001C00B136CUSTC38D001 (Malaysia MAXIS) is the correct one. The problem is that I cant download it anywhere (the links are invalid or down).
Could someone help me please?

Please someone?

I put u8800h firmware on my u8800 so it does work, dunno it it works the other way though.

Thank you!!!
Is there any procedure to fall back to older/original firmware in case of something goes wrong? ? On other forum I read about Superclock but it is incompatible with U8800H

If you need to restore back to original firmware, just place the 'dload' folder into the root of your SD Card, boot into bootloader by holding power and Vol +/- at the same time. And your phone will do the rest.

Thanks, took a chance and flashed it and it worked OK, it took 10 minutes aprox. I almost died in the process...
I hope when "Impulse 4g" (U8800H) gets released on US, it will be Android 2.3.

Hi,
I've accidentally flashed my U8800 with another version of the firmware and I would like to flash it back to the original firmware that it came with (HK PCCW) firmware.
U8800H V100R001HKGC104B153
However the links I can find seems invalid. Can anyone help to upload this firmware? Your kind help is appreciated.

After flashing Chinese AL10 to L29 NXT-C900B133 what stock ROM can I use?

I've reasonably scoured the Mate 8 section looking for what ROM to use to convert my NXT-C900B133 to a locked, stock version and avoid the problems with the phone being unlocked and untrusted, not to mention not receiving OTA updates.
There are pages and pages of questions and answers, but I haven't found an answer to this problem of mine.
Many folk must have used that thread on how to convert an AL10 to L29 but no one seems to have clarified how to return the Mate 8 to a locked state which will receive OTA. I saw someone asked a similar question but got no answer. Possibly I won't either but I'm now out of ideas so why not ask?
I never tested NFC before I changed ROMs and I'm hoping an updated stock ROM may fix an NFC reading problem I'm having.
The thread in referring to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/howto-load-international-mate-8-t3293619/page1
C436B190 Wil be better if you want European version
C636B200 if asian version
I have the L29 C636,there is no difference between C432 and C636,in C636 no China Apps or something else

Thanks very much. I will hunt down C436B190 as I wanted to have the international version, but could only buy a Chinese version.
Cheers.

My search for C436B190 didn't bring up any results.
I then tried the link in your signature (latest stock version) but that didn't work (using the three buttons together & dload folder). Got the "software failed install, incompatible with current version, reboot" error.
I don't suppose you have a link to the version your recommend?
Cheers.
Try this budyy
Download
I also live in South Africa and got the C900B133. There is a C900B188 available if you just want to stick with your current "global" version.
I changed my country code to the C636 and flashed C636B321. If you do this according to @somboons SRK Tool and instructions you will end up with a Locked stock C636B321 which is great.

Hi there, thanks for the link (I assume C436B190?).
I downloaded the update, which took almost 3 hrs the site is sooo slow.
I connected an SD card with the update in a folder called dload. Start the three finger boot and was really disappointed to be told at 5%:
"software failed to install
incompatibility with current version
reboot"
I tried again with moving dload to internal memory, but the same outcome.
Scratching my head here. Are my steps faulty?
Cheers.

Hi, someone in the same boat so to speak!
I didn't know that the C900 part designated your country code. What made you chose C636 (China)? I have seen @somboons pages but didn't find answers to my problem, well staring me in the face anyway!
Does ZA have a country code and stock ROM? I went into Huawei's new store in Melrose Arch this morning. The guy tried to help but couldn't assist with a stock ROM and referred me to their main office in Bryanston. I figure at this point I will get better information on XDA!
My Mate 8 is just rejecting any ROM I try to flash. On the face of it, only the right ROM will be accepted, but I haven't found it (or I'm doing it wrong!).

I am not sure of the South African country code, if it even has one, but I have another Huawei which is C185 which is Africa and middle-east. It all depends who imported the phone and who you bought it from. Huawei phones don't control their ROMs like Samsung.
C636 is Asia. China has it's own model NXT-AL10 instead of NXT-L29. I chose NXT-L29 C636 B** simply because it had the highest update number for 'international versions ..which is B321 ... So I installed NXT-L29C636B321.
All international versions, NXT-L29, are full English, as apposed to China model NXT-AL10 which is mainly chinese.
Also any ROM that you choose from C3** has the new EMUI 4.1 and they are NOT officially released by Huawei yet, so you flash them at your own cost...although I have found them pretty good.
You cannot just flash any ROM over your current ROM. You have to change region(called: debranding) and then you can flash the ROM you choose from that region.
So you need to spend a bit of time reading up on the threads by @somboons because EVERYTHING is there...you just have to decide what you want.

Hi @Finefeather,
just to clarify that I imported the Mate 8 from HKG, and it was an AL10. Before ordering the Chinese version, I had read that thread on how to convert to international. That process worked perfectly, leaving me with this NEXT NXT-C900B133.
Did you follow the same path as me? (AL10 flashed to NXT-C900B133 flashed to NXT-L29C636B321)
You said: "You have to change region(called: debranding)". That's news to me, thanks. This is probably why every attempt to flash C900 with C436 hasn't worked. I'm going to look for the @somboons SRK Tool information now!

Mine was a NXT-L29C900B133 to start with, bought locally from an online shop. I had to debrand to C636 with @somboons SRK Tool which works great and then I just flashed straight over with dload method...My phone model now is NXT-L29C636B321 all locked and stock.
Just make sure you understand all the steps before you start. I spent 2 weeks reading @somboons threads before I did the deed...I come from years of Samsung so everything is a little strange to start off with.
What's your country code?
First you have to unlock bootloader
Second install TWRP
Third Root after debugging
Fourth flash new firmware
Then do a dload to lock
Country code? Currently the version is reported as C900 which is apparently Global.
Thank you for the steps involved, which don't look too complex when you list them. I've only achieved step one, but the rest look straightforward. The problem is knowing this stuff before you start! Cheers.

CO2 - vodafone branding
C432- generic (non-branded)
after some reading on XDA it's seams that 432 will become 900, I have first to "unbranded", change from 02 (vodafone) to unbranded 432
I found a tutorial on XDA but only in spanish, does it exist in english ?
thanks
Vns-l31c02b123
Hello and thanx will it also work for the VNS-L31C02B123 verion .. I have been looking everywhere .. My phone is rooted and unlocked .. Thank you
Hello,
I know this thread is a little old but I have some follow up questions since I'll trying to achieve the same (also have L31C002B125 and would like to upgrade without bricking, if possible).
Where is that Spanish guide you found to unbrand your phone (Spanish is fine by me) from 02 to 432?
I've found several treads that talk about jumping to 161 but with a procedure that doesn't inspire much confidence for me. Something requiring preparing a dload folder with B161, flashing oeminfo/custom.bin for my location (that still is C02 and cannot find any file with that) then realizing the firmware is corrupted (what??) and letting it repair using the dload files via 3keys/dialer code (wich one?)... etc etc. as you see not very noob friendly.
At this moment I have already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery... Can't I do the usual flash with latest rom as with other phones? To afraid to try. Please help.
First, you need change oeminfo. Flash oemiffo from c432 and other step -flash firmware c432b160 ( dual sim) 161 ( single sim).
Very easy make this is via twrp. Flash zip with vendor and firmware.

[REQUEST] Original service ROM for PIC-L29 (PIC-LX9)

Sorry, I have a very limited internet connection and I didn't download that ROM myself. Found it while searching for a stock recovery image. Right now I need to find a way to get TWRP Nandroid Backup working on my phone.

Huawei P9 Lite (VNS-L23) Brick - Can't find stock firmware

I have a bricked Huawei P9 Lite (VNS-L23) which I cannot find the official firmware to. The phone is not originally mine (bought it in an attempt to fix it), so I have no idea how it came to be this way.
Anyway, the phone rejects any firmware I try to give it, so I'm guessing I do not have the correct one. My question is how to find the firmware that belongs to this phone? Is there software that can tell me?
Thank you.

Hello,
the firmware you're looking for could be downloaded with Firmware Finder.
If the phone boots up look at the infos inside 'settings', post here the complete firmware...
Many 'CUST' exist for that variant (VNS-L23)..
I find C212, C605, C521, C45, C110, C688, C43, C178, C25.
What is or should be yours ?
