Hello Everyone,
I've been reading the "Ultimate Guide to the Huawei U8800" at the Modaco Android Forum, and until know I've been able to root my phone, install the recovery and fix the reversed Camera Bug.
But the fallowing part of the Tutorial talks about Firmware Update, is this really important before installing a Custom Rom ? And, if it is can anyone explain me why ?
Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa
PS: Sorry for my bad English :S...
Well someone here at xda wrote that with the newest firmware you get a baseband-update for some devices (he was not sure I think). I did not apply the newest firmware, maybe it was already installed, at least I did not encounter any problems.
You cannot break anything by applying the newest update from Huawei. So if you want to make sure, go ahead. Just do not stick to the Huawei-ROM. Do yourself a favor and install void, Oxygen oder Miui. I use Oxygen, it is based on Android 2.3.5 which is just very fast and the battery lasts about 2 days. You won't get much support for the Huawei-ROMs and there are some bugs. But there also are bugs with the custom-ROMs, so read the description first.
I would strongly suggest updating to the latest B138/B162 before installing a custom Rom. To my knowledge, a stock Rom installation does the firmware upgrade on the screen/internal modules as well.
Thanks for your help. I just have one question. Since all links from Modaco are down, where can I download the lastest firmware ?
Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa

Thanks you. Just a question, are you sure it is safe to me to install this firmware with my U8800 Phone ?

As long as yours is a U8800 and not U8800H, then you should be just fine.

B138/B162 are the same?
I thought that B162 was newer than B13x versions.
Can you explain please?
Thanks

They are not the same. B13x are generally made for the whole world, except China. Being the home country, China has a dedicated set of Roms - B158, B160, B162 versions.
B138 is as new as B162, they were both released at the same time. I don't like B162, the icons and interface are slightly different.
I would recommend B137/B138, preferably 138 as it has the latest drivers.
Ok, thanks for the quick explanation.

For those that want to update the firmware of their devices, don't worry (I was very scary indeed :S), the phone will boot, and reboot, and reboot, and reboot .... until you see and Android screen ^^
OH THE CAMERA IS SO FAST COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE !!! Thank you ! A lot really
I've used all roms and they work very well (I still prefer Oxygen), but I cannot use them because they need and External SD Card to take picture and listen to Music....
So until there I have no choice that stay with the Original Rom :S...
If only I can help solve the problem...
before flash this ROM,maybe you need to wipe your all date,dont wipe maybe not bad,if your z3 is running Android marshmallow.and after flash this ROM,sometimes you won't find supersu,so you need to flash SuperSU again.sorry English is not my main language.
this is the rom link:

Bad news: it seems that HUAWEI stops to provide individual update files from EMUI4.1 onwards. Only eRecovery from HUAWEI is allowed to use for future upgrade.
What is the eRecovery? and how we can get it (I mean on which web site) and how we can flash it to our phone? can you explain that please! thanks in advanced.

eRecovery is built in latest EMUI ROM from 4.1 and it acts just like any other recovery.
hi guys ,,
really I had searched for an answer before typing this , but no answer found ,,
I just wanna ask a question :
I have Axon 7 A2017U model
can I install the A2017G rom ?!
did any one try this before ??
thanks all
Most likely you can, but why though?
The U version has better software.
Which roms do you mean?

Yes that is true man!
For me don't go for lineage if you care about sound, stock sounds better!
Also be sure to check out the new 7.1.1 version that is out, it may have more languages!
