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...

Yes for all versions
I uploaded every rom have been release for each versions of J7 on spreated folder
awesome
Thanks for uploading
does the marshmallow ROM work for all baseband versions??
Well its a great idea but i doubt this will last.. you cant really say you posted every rom when you left out all the stock roms and versions then as time goes youre life is to prohibit you from doing this.. youre also not going to post every rom update either so cant really say its every rom.

Nice work
Great work, man but are these roms prerooted if you are not already rooted and will they work on the MM 2016 version J700P?
Are you still updating???
You should post all the ROM thread links from XDA
You should not post only the google drive link
thanks for uploading

Totally agreed.
Never mirror a link unless you have the devs permission.
Only link to the thread. There is good reason for this. You're now creating problems for both the dev and the downloader.
This thread is likely to become awash with posts about issues.

He never contacted me about this thread, and I'm sure he hasn't contacted any of the other devs.

Hello, is there any safe method of root and some good rom type cyanogenmod?. Thank you.
+1 for this. I would like to see a stock Android ROM and would donate to help development.
We currently don't have any kernel sources for this device and not so many people have it, so I think a custom ROM is a question of future.

Custom ROMs already exist, I found them on a Russian forum. I'm on mobile right now, will dig up a link tomorrow.

This custom ROM is just a slightly modded EMUI, based on Russian or Chinese official firmware. It doesn't require building from sources and differs only in built-in root, some pre-installed apps and custom boot animation. It's not what topic starter wants.

I may be wrong here but I read hauwei provides kernel sources on demand (http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/huawei-provide-kernel-source-code-t3328551). May be we should mail them asking for sources ?

You may have a try, why not? I'm not a ROM developer and I can't say I don't like EMUI (I wouldn't buy the tablet then). If someone gets the sources, it could speed up the development of something more pure-Android. People on 4PDA would be thankful to anyone who brings such a thing and possibly will help developing something.
As for me, I'd better dig into EMUI properties and flags. (/cust folder, etc...)
What do You Think, will there be any custom Rom based on android N 7.x with touchwiz ? I just want to hear your opinion on this, as for now note 4 is the best device I owned from samsung.
Yes

Would you be kind enough to share your source of information
The answer is possible, just have a look at Note3, there was Marshmallows Touchwiz (Note7) ported ROM for this old device even when there wasn't any Official MM released.
When it come to official Nougat, then you better gave up your thought.
I thinks we should have a pinned thread about this.

The Note 3 received MM because the hardware between S5 and Note 3 are close to same so it was easy to port it ( Only 1 gb less and a bigger screen are the differences).
If im wrong correct me

wow such amazing insight in your answer. it simply amazes me how this forum and most of the members are SOOOO helpful.
how about instead of being a tool ... you could possibly link a thread or something. OHHHHH RIGHT your going to say use the search option, well let me tell you from my experience with search IF you don't enter exactly the same exact words your searching for to find the exact answer you need it wont help. i.e. in a thread search for n910v ( my model ) it picks up everything BUT the N910""V"".

Hi,
I own a ZE500KG. I read through the forums for a while but there weren't any posts regarding any custom roms for this model. Are there any roms for this phone? And if not, are there any plans for developement of one?
