hello my firends! Im a new android user, bought first android phone just week ago. I have Huawei U8500 and i think it's very new model and there are very few people who have it. There's no official 2.2 or 2.3 version so im looking for ROM. I think there is no ROMs for this model yet ? But can i use ROMs which was created for other phones ? im really really hoping that someone will make 2.2 or 2.3 for this model. Thanks for answers.
i was searching for few days... i understand russian a little bit so i found 2.2 version made by russian guy, i didn't tried it yet becouse i don't how to instal that so i dont know if it's with russian language or not, but fact is that there is 2.2 version for U8500 ! Few russians tried that and it's working fine for them !
it's link for the 2.2 narod.ru/disk/4575221001/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B02.2_2901.rar.html
Im also trying when i have spare time to locate a u8500 rom . im a extremly novice user tho so prolly wont find much .
Tried to get that russian rom but seems the link is dead or just blocked .
Is anyone working on a eng realease for this phone ?
Or news if there will be a official rel i have missed ?

To install it:
1. Unrar it to your computer, and find a folder named "dload" with the biggest size.
2. Copy that "dload" folder to root of your SD card
3. turn off phone
4. Hold volume up key + end call (red) key and the press power key. Wait for it to load, it will say something like "Updating system" Wait for it to finish, if it says fail, just try again
5. After it says "Update complete" or "Update successful" just restart your phone and you'll have the new beta firmware.
6. Reboot can take about 5 minutes. Be patient.
Do it always while charging.
Highly recommend to back up the original firmware before installing new ROM's
On your own risk. You can brick your phone and you void your phones warranty.

Hi, to load phone in recovery mode and to fulfill wipe date and a cache. I apologize for the bad English
How did you guys download this?
The only way i can see the link to proceed to download is via google translate. And when i click it i get a 404.
/Peter
You cant use google translate when clicking! Under the android guy pic, click where it says сюда, you then come to another site, just now click on a link on the page, that will take you to another page (the sponsor page), then you will se that it will start ticking the time in the top of the window, then after that you can click again and actually start the download....

Just wanted to say that this rom works awesome on my u8300.
It requires some tweaking. Change of lcd density etc. And the screen calibration isn't perfekt. But it's much faster than the stock rom so i'll stick with it.
Definetly worth a shot.
But according to a user on another forum there might be problems when you downgrade from a 8500 rom to the stock 8300. I haven't tested, so i can't really comment on that...

how to upgrade step-by-step for huawei u8500.. i just a noob that wants to upgrade its phone. already try to root but fail
Trying again.
Sent from my U8500 using xda premium
Hey guys,
This is my 1st post here ever.
The only time I fiddled around with rooting an android phone was more than a year ago when I had an AT&T Samsung infuse. I followed very detailed instructions on how to root it and upgrade it. It worked like a charm and I'm so grateful to all of you experts trying to help newbies.
A friend of mine went to China last month and brought me a Samsung s3 clone.
The phone is factory unlocked BUT
1. It doesn't have the original google play application. It has a similar logo which leads to a Chinese app store.
2. Google mail account application is missing
3. The phone supports only Chinese, Korean and English languages. (I'd like to use it in different ones)
So I need to re-install a good Android version that has all the Android features that I'm missing
I thought it would be easy to find instructions on how to do it it here, but unfortunately I wasn't lucky to find a direct and clear step -by step instructions for my phone model
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300
Model #: mtk6515_ics2
Android version: 4.0.4
Base band version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V14
Kernel Version: 3.0.13
[email protected]#1
Build Number: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.18
Custom Build Version: V15.12
Please help!
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there? :crying:
Hey man,
unfortunately I don't think anyone can help you rooting/changing roms as it's a replica and there isn't a real development for it.
BUT as for the play store you can DL the apk directly from here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/14/download-latest-google-play-store-4-1-6/
As for the phone language, after installing the google play store look for:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&hl=en
and choose the language of your wishing. That is in case that your phone supports it.
If you mean by google mail account the gmail app then in that case:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ith-slide-out-navigation-and-brand-new-inbox/
BTW for future references - try to make a search for yourself I'm sure you could've find those in less than a minute
Cheers.
Thanx
Thanx a lot for your effort and concern.
I downloaded the latest google play apk, I installed it, but it wasn't working apparently because "google login service" and "google services framework" were missing too!
So I downloaded them, but they needed to be installed in system/apps.
I downloaded "root explorer" which should help me accessing the system folder.
I copied&pasted the apps in system/apps but a message says "your phone should be rooted first in order to paste" came out.
So back to square1
On the other hand, I tried to disactivate some of the annoying Chinese applications that came with the system using "root app delete", and guess what?
I get the same message that I should root this phone first.
So how can I root this bloody thing???
Yeah that is sounds pretty frustraing..Well I guess you won't find here a "how to root s3 replica" guide and personally I wouldn't try and rooting the device as it could easily brick it.
I suggest you go to the store and tell them that you've got a phone with no option to download apps, or connect to your Google account...
Hope you'll sort things up with the store soon

I wish I could follow your advise. The shop is 4000 miles away in China.
There is a google store app installed, but it's fake. It has a similar icon but with different proportions. The problem is that it's in Chinese and it deals with chinese applications.
Oh that is unreachable, but maybe can you contact them via Email etc..?
Anyways I found this thread I think you'll see it much more beneficial than my help as I don't have experience on rooting replicas and it's focused on your device:

This method is for i9300 mtk6575
Will it work on my phone which is i9300 mtk6515_ics2?
What are my chances to brick the phone if I follow this procedure?

If you flash recovery from different device, there's a big chance you brick it
Try to use MTKDroidTools to root it, its pretty safe.
As @lolet said correct, you can possibly brick your phone...
That's why I advise you to ask in the thread I've linked onto, there are fellows there with much more experience than myself with rooting your device.
I guess in the last couple of years I've flashed hundreds of times but only on samsung, htc and motorolas.

please this firmware link ,,,
Hi Guys,
I really looked forward to playing Pokemon Go and was really shocked when i saw that the release version of it supports just android 4.4. kitkat and onwards but no older versions. My phone is stuck on 4.3 jellybean and cant be rooted so im sitting here sadly now I already managed to get the app installed by using Gmaps patcher, it also starts but won`t let me sign in via google or pokemon club. So now im asking you guys at xda, who are the most amazing guys in android scene, is there ANY possibility to make it work on android 4.3 jelly bean? The fact that it was planned for 4.3. in the beginning and beta testers claimed it would work on that version leaves me with al glance of hope.
Here are some ideas i have as a noob:
Since its possible to install the game and make it run, but just signing in wont work i guess the app is not far from running on 4.3. On top of that the games developer and beta testers claimed it working on 4.3 and onwards. So i guess in early stages it already WAS running on 4.3. Maybe it can be patched or modified in a way that it will work? If so, is anybody willing to work on that proect? Im affraid me as a noob is no option.
The Fact that beta testers and the developer said it would work on 4.3 might mean that an older version or beta version would run on 4.3.? Is there anybody who has a old/beta/field test version to test that?
Is there any other option? Or is it complete hopeless? Please try to help me, i was waiting for this great game so long and now i cant pay it, while all my friends do

Ah that sucks. I think there are some apps that where being back portet. If it's viable to Pokémon go too i dont know through.
You could buy a cheap as android Phone with android 5.0
For example ZTE blade l3 it should be around ~80 to 90 bucks, if you can afford that much

Thank you for our answer. Maybe someone knows if this gets packported maybe? Im sure lots of people would appreciate much.
You can dowload 0.13.5 version.that work.
you can't install apk files that uses higher API level (Pokemon GO, 19) on older Android version (Jelly Bean, 16). It's like trying to use a remote tv controller like a cellphone, you're trying to use a function that your system doesn't have. i don't think a generic patcher can solve this and i don't know where you found that apk, but you should be careful of what you install on your device. Anyway, out of curiosity i checked for you, given the possibility that for some "strange" reason Niantic decided to set the minimum sdk level to 19 without really use any functions that is not supported in Jelly Bean (whaaa? so why use higher API level than? maybe cause if you are running on KitKat you are 90% running on a "new" device, this is faster than making a list of hundreds of compatible phones). Worst case scenario is that you will get a NoClassDef exception (probably) and of course app crash.
(the following is not a piracy attemp, we are not trying to hack anything. it's intended for learning purpose and to satisfy your curiosity)
ok, let's start :
so, you need to set minimum sdk to Jelly Bean level (16)
to do this , you will need to edit the AndroidManifest.xml file, inside the apk, adding this line
("<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16">)
and of course deleting any labels or parameters that are not recognized by 16 API level (in Pokemon Go case : things like android :isGame, android : banner, etc..)
(oh..but you can't just edit the manifest inside the apk, that is compiled. you need to decompile it first)
even if doing this doesn't break the app (very improbable) now you need to recompile it again (just for obtain a new compiled manifest file, that you can inject in the original app using Winrar/Winzip..infact .apk are just jar/zip files).
of course, we can always just edit the compiled manifest, just need to be able to read, unreadble anti human characters.
so, now it's "working" on android 4.1 , but can't get past splash screen, hangs after that
stuck at -- E/dalvikvm(32567): dlopen("libNianticLabsPlugin.so") failed: Cannot load library: load_library(linker.cpp:750): library "libNianticLabsPlugin.so" not found --

i don't think you should distribute a modded apk, even if it's free
anyway i'm really curious, can you tell me what you did? i'm hitting a roadblock
oo
Could we go the other direction? Is it possible to install the required libraries that 4.1/4.3 is missing and fake the system version to Pokemon Go?
Mine wont install at all on 4.3

Does it? Will it work in North America, and can you change the language to English? From what I've seen, this is the Japanese beta release.
A trustworthy download link would be nice as well, as there are some fishy apk's floating around.

actually, Pokemon Go can be installed on Android 4.1. it hangs after the splashscreen because it can't "see" some .so files (even if they are inside lib folder). it seems to be cause of a different behaviour of dlopen on different Android platforms.
i'm trying to get a list of dependences for that libray and see if it can be workarounded

Hello forum, please excused my poor english.
A few month ago i was writing a text message when my phone screen doesn't work some parts of the left side (in that moment i was using cm11 android 4.4.4, recovery bigpart). So in that moment i do not care, i was using it with the keyboard horizontal. But with the passage of time the bluetooth, font camera and wifi doesn't work correctly.
I think it was a rom trouble, so i reset my phone, but it doesn't work. I reinstall the rom, doesn't work too. Even i installed the mokee rom (android 5.0.2).
Before cm11 i used cm7, cm9 4.0.4, cm10 cm10.1 (android 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3) and the phone work correctly (except some bugs ). So i reinstalled every of that's roms... the same problem.
I followed the instructions in this article https :// phenobarbital.wordpress.com/2014/08/22/motorola-android-rescatando-al-soldado-atrix-4g . Doen't work too
Searching in youtube i saw a lot of people with the same problem and one of the user comment that it should be the kernel, so i flash every kernel for atrix mb860 that i found in the internet... guess what, nothing.
I'm actually using a miui rom android 4.2.2., it work AMAZING and do not reheat instead from cm7 to cm11 and mokee rom, but i have the same trouble jaja.
with this rom and cm10.1, cm11 and mokee the kernel is the same 3.1.10, i think perhaps this is the cause, but when i try to flash another rom i loss android, then i have to reinstall it (now i know why).
I'm searching for a different kernel that work in android 4.2.2 up.
I'm sorry if i bored you and excused my poor english again if anyone can helpme i being really really grateful, i love that cell phone.
Forza Motorola Atrix 4g mb860 <3

Is it touch screen or screen inside that don't work? U can try official android 2.3 and test all function it's the best, some time ago I have problem with touch screen and it stop working on left side so I had to replace it, about BT and WiFi it the chipset that stops working mosty because of heat that cpu/gpu produced and it's near it. Currently i'm using cm 12.1 (build from 14.06.2016 with kernel 3.1.10 and security patches 01.05.2016) which have few bug like not working fingerprint sensor and wrongly showing that I don't have gsm connection but I have, rest is great wifi, bt, gsm data, camera, sound all work and phone don't restarts like it was sometime on kitkat.
I don't understand. In the left side of the touch doesn't work. I try with a rom named darksideblur etc i think it is 2.3, but it's the same. When i using a recovery touch the left side work, that's the reason beacause i think that may be it is a kernel trouble.
I should try with a 2.3 stock rom.
And you should try with a miui rom jaja

Even if you can find a suitable Custom ROM with a higher Android version, I think you'll fail with upgrading: the tablet is an outdated. low-end one ( 4-core processor running at 1.3GHz, with 1GB of RAM ).

Hi, i can't find anywhere any links on how to upgrade this to a much higher version. I would like only to use this one for youtube because of its bigger screen..
My problem is that when i try to open Youtube, it says update yet i already i updated it countless times..
Here's i always do:
1. I open settings and go to apps and select Youtube and Uninstall updates
2. Go to Playstore and update Youtube
3. After updating I click Open
Sometimes this work and sometimes not.. this method is so tiring..
i can't find any fix on this.. I would like only to use the TAB for Youtube purposes..
I hope someone could help.. Thanks

Upgrading device's Stock ROM requires
1. Flashing a Custom Recovery that is at 100% suitable to device ( I guess it doesn't exist any )
2. Flashing a Custom ROM that is at 100% applicable ( I guess it doesn't exist any ) by means of previousy flashed Custom Recovery

Weird that it sometimes works... Tried on an old tablet. When it "works" it just gives 400 error but there is maybe another reason for that. Always installs version 13.03.60. Clear data seems to be enough to avoid that update screen. But why not just use browser? Even the default one works. Don't know about FlyTube but should work on android 4.0+.

You could try this. Could work. Played a little and found out that deleting youtube.xml from /data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs/ makes it show the main screen, or
would if there wasn't that 400 error. So, remove it and chmod -w that shared_prefs dir .
Then it cannot write it there again. You'll need be rooted for that. Some rooting solutions here:

It's my dad that will be using this TAB for him to pass some times... already did the clearing of data but no success.. usually the one that works for me is to uninstall the app and update to a newer version..
I'm afraid rooting the tab would brick it so i did not try it.. hehehe
will try to download Flytube o tell my dad to just use the browser..
Thanks for the help sir... Thank you very much.. Stay safe..
