Hello Friends
I myself purchased this cool phone with some serious hardware, and so you'll agree that this phone doesn't deserve a gingerbread. Thankfully, Huawei came out with the official ICS and it is now available for download here
I tried to find a proper tutorial to update to ICS but was facing a problem with the standard method, placing the app in the dload folder of the root sd card, shutting the phone down, removing the battery and then vol+/vol-/Power method.
I however found out an easier method to update, which is explained as below. Note that my phone is working fine, without any hiccups whatsoever.
Also note that I was on official GB 2.3.5, which can be downloaded from here, and installed using the same steps as below. I recommend to be on the latest GB firmware, although I'm not sure if that's the necessary condition.
Another thing is, I tried the below steps and was able to successfully update my phone. Whatever you do is at your own risk. This is a fairly simple and harmless method, but Murphy's Law applies everywhere
Backing up your data is, as usual, recommended.
Steps:
1.Download the ICS update from the link given above.
2. Extract the file. There are 3 folders named step 1, step 2, step 3, each having a folder named dload and each having a update.app file.
3.Open Step 1 and copy the dload folder and paste it in the root directory of the sd card. If you're confused which is the root directory, check this article out. http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120315022047AAEuZhU
4. Turn off the USB storage.
5.Breathe
6.Go to settings - storage - Software Upgrade - Choose from SD Card.
7.Make sure you have charged your phone sufficiently. and confirm
8. The procedure should take some time, do not panic, and the phone will restart after a while. If it shows 'OK Done' but does not restart, pull out the battery and start the phone normally.
9.Connect the phone to the computer via mount USB Storage again, delete the dload folder. Go to the folder where you extracted the downloaded ICS update file, open Step 2. Copy the dload folder and paste in the root directory of the SD card as before.
10. Repeat the same procedure, as Step 5 and Step 6
11. This step should take a bit longer, so dont panic.
12. After it is successful, the android robot will appear, asking you to sign in and all. You might think this is it, but the procedure is not yet complete. I encountered some bugs here, like force closing of some apps. Hence, the Step 3 update file is important.
13. Again, connect the phone to the computer, mount usb storage, and repeat step 9. Only this time, copy the dload folder of Step 3 and paste in the root directory.
14. Repeat step 6.
15.I didnt get an automatic restart this time, so I pulled the battery out after getting a 'OK message' and put it back in booted the phone. And here you get the official ICS with a taste of Huawei
Sign in, and enjoy.
You can also root your phone for Superuser access, with the help of this article : (Check the root section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736650
I'm new here, so if I did anything wrong please feel free to comment or correct me. Thanks!

As I said I have no idea where to post this.
This is for u8800 PRO not the u8800. I really hope X5 U8800 non pro users don't follow your advice.
I guess this thread needs to be moved to U8800 pro section...
It was posted in the u8800 section before the mods moved it here.
Hi all! After sarchin' on the net (and haven't found anything good), I'll make a guide on How to unroot, unbrick 'n' lock your device.
BEFORE ALL
There is one problem: The rollbacks don't exist for all models, so this guide isn't for everything models. I don't recommend to use it for India, China, Middle East regions' versions.
You can find everything needed for you
HERE for the FRD-L09
HERE for the FRD-L04 (thanks to @matt914)
TESTED DEVICES
FRD-L09 (By me)
FRD-L04 (By @matt914 again)
Code:
/*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this GUIDE
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
WHAT YOU NEED
1. Your device (that guide is only for Honor 8)
2. Your rollback and MM packages WATCH HERE
3. A MicroSD card and its MicroSD/SD or MicroSD/USB reader
4. Your PC (I've tested it with linux, but You can use Windows too).
5. Your USB cable
HOW TO
1. Download the rollback and the MM firmware from hihonor
2. Extract the zip packages, you'll find a dload folder and some pdfs (you can delete these pdfs)
FOR LINUX
3. Before all install the android-tools (google is your friend on that)
4. With THAT you'll be able to extract files from MM UPDATE.APP (thanks to @marco.minetti), you'll find lots of .img files, but we need BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img
5a. reboot your phone to fastboot (Vol-/Power while plug it to your PC)
5b. Open a terminal on the folder where you have the previous 2 files and type:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
sudo fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
sudo fastboot reboot
6a. Your device now is semi-bricked (it can reboot to erecovery and to fastboot but it can't boot)
6b. Shut down your device (long press Power, it will reboot. Press vol+ while asked and boot to erecovery, than shutdown)
7a. Put your rollback's dload folder on the root of the MicroSD (NOT THE INTERNAL MEMORY!)(Use a MicroSD reader)
7b. Insert the MicroSD on your Honor
8. Press Vol+/Vol-/Power and it will start flashing the rollback
9. Your device still in a semi-bricked condition
10. Make passage 7 and 8 again with the MM firmware
11. Now it will boot up without any problem and with MM installed
FOR WINDOWS
3. Before all install the minimal android tool (google is your friend on that)
4. With Huawei Extractor tool, you'll find lots of .img files, but we need BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img (FROM THE MM UPDATE.APP)
5a. reboot your phone to fastboot (Vol-/Power while plug it to your PC)
5b. Open a CMD (with administrator access) on the folder where you have the previous 2 files and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot reboot
6a. Your device now is semi-bricked (it can reboot to erecovery and to fastboot but it can't boot)
6b. Shut down your device (long press Power, it will reboot. Press vol+ while asked and boot to erecovery, than shutdown)
7a. Put your rollback's dload folder on the root of the MicroSD (NOT THE INTERNAL MEMORY!)(Use a MicroSD reader)
7b. Insert the MicroSD on your Honor
8. Press Vol+/Vol-/Power and it will start flashing the rollback
9. Your device still in a semi-bricked condition
10. Make passage 7 and 8 again with the MM firmware
11. Now it will boot up without any problem and with MM installed
AT THE END
If you have followed the instructions correctly you'll with a device with MM firmware. It will download b380 and than b389 (for the FRD-L09 version).
Flashing the MM package will lock your device (not relock) so you don't need the fastboot oem lock [key]

The rollback package definitely doesn't contain a file named BOOT.img. This file is only available in the firmware package.

For step 7 in the Windows guide, how exactly are we supposed to put the rollback dload folder onto the SD card when it wont mount the SD card? twrp? or do I have to take out the SD card and use it in a card reader?
edit: Thought I should add that when I go into Windows Device Manager, right click Honor 8, and choose browse files -> ( H: ), it says "Please insert a disc into CD Drive H: "

CHANGE LOG
3 September 2017
Added CP from AQG1 & CSC from AQG1 to "Apply AQG1 firmware" section
7 September 2017
Baseband fix: Made OTA system update only & created AQGL CP
8 September 2017
Fixed CP & CSC file rename md5 errors
FAQ
If I'm on G955U1UEU1AQG2, can I go straight to OTA for G955USQU1AQGL?
Yes, but everything won't update correctly. Like the modem patch won't apply, unless you're already running the AQG1 modem for instance.
Try flashing CP from AQG1 & CSC from AQG1 in the "Apply AQG1 firmware" section with Odin, before applying the OTA.

I just need to do one version of your two step before applying the AQGL OTA , right ?.
---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------
If i do this :-
Version 2: Current SamPWND Part 2 summary:
1 - Download AQG1 system.img.ext4. extract it and copy it to your phone.
2 - The CSC SYSTEMROOT process is the same as SamPWND part 2 instructions, except you're using the system.img.ext4 from step 1 above.
I would then do this right ? :-
3) Place the entire Add CSC Systemroot zip onto Internal or Externdal SD Card (THIS FILE DOES NOT NEED TO BE UNZIPPED, THROW THE WHOLE ZIP FILE ONTO SD CARD OR INTERNAL)
4) Open Flashfire and grant it root when it prompts you.
5) Press the + sign and select "Flash Firmware Package" & navigate to where you placed the system.img.ext4 and select it
6) Press the + sign and select "Flash ZIP or OTA" & navigate to where you placed the Add CSC Systemroot zip and select it, select Mount System as r/w
7) Press the + sign and select "Wipe" and select System data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik cache, Cache partiton, Cache Partiton format
8) Now, long press on "Wipe" and make sure it is on the top by dragging it. The order should be Wipe, Flash Firmware Package & finally Flash ZIP or OTA
9) Make sure the "Everoot" is disabled!
10) Flash away!

Worked like a Charm, thanks.
Just to be clear..if I'm already rooted (not on QG1 Firmware), 1st, in flashfire, flash qg1 system.img, then pre packed cscroot zip from sampwnd pt2, then the qgl zip ota? (I'll add wipe also). Do I do this in 1 Flashfire session or boot up after cscroot zip then flash the OTA zip?
I wont be able to attempt this until the weekend but, to my knowledge there isnt an AQG2 (there is lol). I can still run the process the same? If i have to start from scratch, that wont be bad either

Right, you need to go to AQG1, before you can OTA to AQGL.
If you're doing the current part 2 process, it's the same steps & same files as SamPWND part 2, except you're using the AQG1 system.img.ext4 (linked in my thread)
Code:
1) Download the PART 2 FILES listed below (this includes the system.img.ext4 and the add CSC Systemroot zip both provided courtesy of @[url=https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1949695]jrkruse[/url]*, view post #195 for specifics on what these are but essentially they are stock QD2 system.img and the zip has multi CSC, root, and a bunch of other goodies!)
2) Extract the System.img.ext4 zip and place that actual "system.img.ext4" onto the Internal SD Card (might work from external but some users have reported issues with chainfires root.zip and FF with external sd cards, this is not a fault of the SamPWND files/process.)
3) Place the entire Add CSC Systemroot zip onto Internal or Externdal SD Card (THIS FILE DOES NOT NEED TO BE UNZIPPED, THROW THE WHOLE ZIP FILE ONTO SD CARD OR INTERNAL)
4) Open Flashfire and grant it root when it prompts you.
5) Press the + sign and select "Flash Firmware Package" & navigate to where you placed the system.img.ext4 and select it
6) Press the + sign and select "Flash ZIP or OTA" & navigate to where you placed the Add CSC Systemroot zip and select it, select Mount System as r/w
7) Press the + sign and select "Wipe" and select System data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik cache, Cache partiton, Cache Partiton format
8) Now, long press on "Wipe" and make sure it is on the top by dragging it. The order should be Wipe, Flash Firmware Package & finally Flash ZIP or OTA
9) Make sure the "Everoot" is disabled!
10) Flash away!

nm, it's on July.
G955U1UEU1AQG2 is for The SM-G955U1 (network unlocked version). So applying the OTA directly should work, but I can't make any guarantees that your system will come out the same as going from G955USQS1AQG1 to G955USQU1AQGL.
Has the battery issue been resolved? Doea it go all the way to 100% or does it stay at 80%

Did some more research. looks like it's the icon for the enhanced lte service. There's a setting for enhanced lte service that you can turn off.
if you search lte in settings, you'll find it.

App to dload folder on SD card and reboot in erecovery mode to auto start the update process, but unsuccessfully. So guys, what is the good method to execute any new update.?

I try to update the system 2 times, 1-from the sdcard 2-i changed to local c:/ in my pc where i put the HOWTA folder
i follow the full steps but when i reach the last one, this phrase "Please wait for upload files and do not press any key." take more than 20 minutes and nothing happend!!
Plez tell me if there any further tricks to do for to succes this process.

In the guide, Method 2,
3) Now download all three update, data, and public files (make sure you rename the files as mentioned above) and copy them either in the external SDCard inside HWOTA folder or in the PC in the C:\..\HWOTA\update folder.
4) Run the update.bat file as an administrator, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.

1. if I copy the 3 files in SD Card, do I put it in /SDCard/HWOTA or /SDCard/HWOTA/Update ? Why the folders are different in sdcard or pc?
2. If I have all the files copied in the SD card, do I run the script directly from the SD card? or I have to put it somewhere on the pc and run it as admin?
- 2. I tried running the update.bat from pc and it works.

Hello,
Please advise hot to update my Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L09CO2B102 to OREO.
Currently Stock Rooted EMUI 5.1 - Android 7.0 - TWRP 3.1.0-0 - root Superuser Koushik.
Did not update since purchase in June 2017. No security updates as well. I deactivated the updater.
Now I would like to update to OREO, update TWRP, and root.
I have TWRP - is it not possible to copy files to SD card and update?

Prerequisite to flash beta on N20U (N986B) thanks to
dr.ketan
You need to be on November Security patch before moving ahead.
Dial *#1234#
If your info is ditto same as said below then only you can flash beta 1 for N986B
AP : N986BXXS3DUJ6
CSC : N986BOXM3DUH5
CP : N986BXXS3DUIF
Also if your device is rooted/modified, it will fail. (unlocked bootloader isn't issue but firmware must be complete stock)
TLDR instructions, thanks to pernodpepper
0. Create backup of your device (SmartSwitch)
1. Download .bin
2. Rename update.zip
3. Place file on SDCard
4. Go to recovery (No odin/download mode required)
5. Select Apply update from SDCard and choose update.zip
6. Profit
Detailed instructions along with multiple methods to install. Thanks to Evil_Smiley_za and @AhmedMomen
UPDATE:
-This thread will be for sharing tips and help and update.zip/.bin files (when/if available) for the OneUI 4.0 Android 12 Beta for the Galaxy Note 20 series (Unlocked/Exynos)
Installation Methods:
ADB-method:
1. Download SDK platform tools https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. Extract the file in your desktop.
3. Inside the extracted folder put the update.zip file
4. Inside this folder, holding left shift, right click the mouse and select "open command prompt here". The command prompt will open.
5. Shutdown your phone and connect it to the pc
6. Holding Power and volume+ and enter into recovery mode.
7. Select "update via ADB". (scroll down using the volume buttons and select using the power button).
8. Connect the phone to a PC using an original samsung USB cable.
9. In the command prompt run the following command:
./adb devices
10. Wait to see that the daemon has started and that your device is found.
11. If you device is found, run the following command:
./adb sideload update.zip
SD-card method:
1. Download the bin file and rename it to update.zip (by going to file options on your pc you can select to view the file extensions. This makes the renaming process much easier and safer, and avoids renaming the file to update.zip.zip)
2. Copy it to the root directory of your SDcard.
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Connect any USB device to your device, AKG earphones could work, then press Power and volume+ buttons to get into recovery mode.
5. Using your volume keys navigate to "update via sdcard" and press power button to select it.
6. Again using volume keys navigate to the file "update.zip" and press power button to select it.
7. Update will start. Leave it till it completes installing. It will take some time.
8. Phone will reboot by itself and load android.
The update process will start. You will see a percentage counting. First it will verify, then patch etc. Do not move the cable, disconnect the phone or power off the PC.
Once the process is completed (it takes some time) the phone will boot itself, update the apps and log into your home screen.
There are two methods that you can use to get into recovery mode
Method 1:
1. Connect your phone to your PC (Make sure USB debugging is on).
2. Using ADB, enter the command ./adb reboot recovery
3. Wait a little and you should be in recovery mode.
Method 2:
1. Power off your device
2. Connect your device to a PC or use the AKG earphones.
3. Hold down Power+VolumeUp buttons and keep pressing them until you enter recovery mode.
This will not trip knox if done by the methods above
Don't install a beta unless you are fully aware what you are going into.
Don't install the beta if you want your phone to be stable, IT'S a BETA.
It's recommended to make a backup of your data before updating to the Android 12 Beta.
Important Notes:
-Rename the .bin file to update.zip in order to be able to flash it from recovery.
-A common mistake done by some people is that they see the file named update while its a WinRAR.zip file already, then they add another .zip making the name of the file update.zip.zip which will not be flashed successfully, So make sure you do it right.
-Updating to the beta is AT YOUR RISK, No one is responsible if anything goes wrong.
You will not receive OTAs again UNTIL you are on a firmware that gets released later for your original CSC, thats most likely not happening before the BETA is over.

Awesome
Can someone share the installation process please
Most probably you will have to flash it using Odin but I wouldn't guarantee that. Wait for some time till some modders here figure out a way.
