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.

us or ww

Can anyone tell me whether a transformer 101 bought in Canada would be ww or US.. Any way to find out
Thanks

I think the devs should leave the orig build info in the tab and just add on their sig to it for fallback reference.

That's not possible because each dev uses whichever build they want to base their rom off of. For example, your original stock firmware may be US, but developer1 uses ww base. Once you flash that rom, your tf will now be based on ww and there is absolutely no way of telling what was on their prior to because flashing the new rom will wipe and override any information from your previous rom.

Understand, so how will one do an update through ota? I'm sure Asus will have a hard time reconciling a tab's sku/serial conflict. I'm all for innovation and better ideas but if a tablet's profile is modified beyond recognition, it could wind up getting bricked if someone tries a manual update.
I wonder if there's any way to cross reference a serial to an sku? I don't see anything helpful at Asus' website.

If you have a custom ROM and/or custom recovery, the OTA will fail anyway.

JB 4.1 Source & Firmware Just Uploaded

Just noticed support.asus.com has the JB firmware and source uploaded to site.

Just US, or are the WW and TW builds included?

Looks like US only as for right now, keep checking the asus site as they might be in the process of updating right now.

There it is, now since I have never messed with other firmware's before, I will assume, I shouldn't flash a US firmware if I have a WW device?

Definately wait for your WW firmware
ANd incase you dont know how to flash the file. Download the file on the ASUS Support site(v10 epad launcher..), unzip this file and copy it to your SD card, then flash. Although I would probably return my build.prop to its original file

Can't wait for the first ROM's based on this
Oh how very exciting. I'm rooted but have been holding off on all the different CM builds because of the GPS issues. But this should be fulling functional, can't wait to see some roms popping up with this.

I don't know really. just noticed this new FW.
I observed that Quick Circle app does not work well under 20D. It has screen refresh issues when case is closed.
never happened under KitKat.
I hope that 20E solves that.

Can I install this on an SEA phone?
I have unwittingly bought a D855 32Gb phone which looks like it was meant for the south east asian market (V10K-SEA-XX).
Can you answer the following questions for me?
1 - Will this EUR rom work on my phone?
2- Will my phone still appear un-rooted i.e. indistinguishable from a bought european phone (Some of my apps will annoyingly refuse to work if it's rooted)
3 - My model does not currently have the 4g option, from reading on here I believe it has been disabled in the software of some SEA phones. Will this EUR rom enable 4g?
I suspect (and hope!) that the answers will be yes, yes and yes! Give me some good news!
Thanks for your help

Hey!
I hope it will help but I'm a super noob and that was my first flashing ever.
So I have the SEA model too. I used this update and everything worked without any problem, I have the v20e version now. (The software version changed to GLOBAL but it's still SEA - so you will only get the OTA when they get the OTA at SEA region.)
I read somewhere that you will get the OTAs when it will be available for your region (so SEA in our case). But since flashing is super easy and I can't wait weeks to get my updates probably it wont really affect me.
And I can see the LTE option in the settings.
I atached 2 screenshots maybe it's useful for you!
Have fun with Lollipop!

Thanks for the info mate, I think you've just convinced me to have a go with it. Which software did you use to flash yours?
Can you confirm that your phone did not need to be or end up rooted as a result?
Cheers

[SOLVED] A2017 4G 64GB has 16GB memory and support 4G?

I have a silly question. I've purchased a A2017 4G 64GB. However I only see 16GB memory in the storage. I thought it is supposed to have 64GB. Am I wrong?
I've installed A2017U B29. Does it support 4G network?

Out of 64 you should see close to 50 available probably on a new device. That's just a rough guess.
I have a lot of apps and only have used 24gb out of 64.

You're correct that they don't have 16gb version. But the device is correct besides rom size.

Did it read as 16GB even before you flashed the A2017U firmware?

If you say so,ok cool.
Try downloading the version you where before in your A2017,
* Perform a FORMAT DATA
* Flash A2017 zips files
* Reboot back to System and check if that helps.
I haven't run into this case before, so this may or may Not help.

I am confusing between wiping and format. Are you talking about wiping data? I did do that before flashing A2017U.
I don't remember which A2017 version it was but I did upate to the latest version via OTA. Do you think I can get latest zip file? Do I use TWRP or original recovery? Should I format internal sd card before flashing?
Thanks for all your helps
