Orange Yumo aka Huawei Ascend G740 Rooting, General Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Sisqo
- Start date
I've got an orange yumo version with stock but rooted+busybox+some tweaks.
What I can do to clean it ? A friend wants to take the phone back to orange and change it for something else.
Do I have to unroot only or do you think they will look in /system for busybox or other things i've done?

I know that,I asked if I have to delete busybox and other things from /system (the wipe data didn't delete some things).
I don't think they'll look after things like that but I just wanted to ask..

Kernel Open Source
Hello everybody:
This is for those developers who want lo make a custom rom. I was send an email to Huawei asking for a kernel open source.
His answer was this:
Dear Huawei device customer:
You can get the code from the link( G740 and H882L share the same kernel code)
consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=16585
Please let me know if you cannot download it;
Thanks & Regards
I hope that will serve.

Help
Hello, I received an Orange Yumo of a friend who wanted me to fix it as a favor, and for some days I have trying to fix it.
The problem is that when it boots, all the desktop appears in black and you can't execute any app. Only the top notification bar appears, and you can enable and disable wifi, bluetooth... But only that. He told me this happened when he was using as usually his smartphone, not doing anything that was prone to this error that occured. He was root.
I tried to hard reset it but it doesn't appear to fix anything. I tried to install all of the zips I found on Internet, installed CWM, installed again all of the zips and ROMs I found, but it always fails to install... It says "Installation aborted"
I found a TWRP bootloader but it failed to change bootloader, giving me a black screen when I enter recovery, maybe because it was for the Orange Daytona. I wanted to apply a backup of another Orange Yumo in TWRP I found on the Internet.
But I haven't found any TWRP for the Orange Yumo... And it's strange. Because the backup was made using this smartphone and with TWRP.
Now I just swapped again to cwm and I can't even log in the phone, even if I hard reset it. Hope you guys could help me to get the TWRP or the ROM of the Orange Yumo (Spain) or help me in whatever way. It would be great. Thank you

Have you got a open bootloader?
You must have a open bootloader to install other ROM.
If you have it open, you must install the same recovery with which the backup was made.
Over Orange Yumo you can`t install original firmware from Huawei, because Orange Yumo is a diferent model than Huawei G740, and don´t support original firmware.
You try installing a ROM of Huawei G740 (Not Yumo), but the rom has two problem.
1. Lockscreen's properties in system/all don't work (only works in system/general mode). You solve this with WidgetLocker.
2. The themes can't be change. The phone have a mix of colors white an orange. (original for Orange Yumo). You can solve this with Xposed.
If you want to install the rom, I can upload the link and the small tutorial contributed by leu6407.
Solved
Don't you worry, finally solved. I had the bootloader unlocked and thanks to KainXSS I could install the ROM of /system. That was all I needed.

I've been pretty busy but this really looks like the case and explains why the vitria's kernel is booting on the rest of them, the H882L is the Y301-A3 and the vitria and Y301-A3 are pretty much the same exact device(besides gsm), I already run a custom kernel on my vitria so If you guys look at my commits and modify them or fix them for the 882l source(maybe the 882l source is exactly the same though) you should be able to get a custom kernel on the G740 although I don't work on it that much anymore.

this also explains why people are pming me telling me the oc kernel source boots on the G526 and G716, that post explains alot, thanks desmarcado.

Hi, I'm running stock 4.1.2 on my G740 and recently rooted my device.
I'm trying to remove bloatware using Titanium Backup and I keep getting a message saying "apk not found".
Didn't find anything useful online I've already tried the basic stuff like reseting, checking my superuser and uninstalling/installing Titanium.
Is there a fix for this problem? Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks
Edit: Nevermind, apparently some apps listed as system apps on Titanium weren't really in system which caused the uninstall error. I just removed them with a normal uninstall.
Btw is there a custom rom available or in the works?

Thank you.

Hi, I've read about it and I find a program called Huawei Advanced Tool. For the things I've read it could solve your problem,
but after download, it doesn't run in win7.
Try it in win XP and good luck!!
Thank you , but I have already flashed the original firmware with the sd card method

- "Orange Yumo" is the codename for the Huawei G740, just like all android devices have a codename. I know it sounds ambiguous, but this one has NOTHING to do with the Orange telecom operator. Likewise, my son's Sony Xperia S is codenamed "nozomi" and my old Acer A500 tablet is codenamed "picasso". That's just the way it (oddly) is.
- Regarding stock ROMs, since nothing is available directly from Huawei, I took one from (would you believe it?) an iran-based website!! Unfortunately, I had to pay for it, but that allowed me to fully reinit my G740 after having tampered with it. Here's the URL: http://www.huawei-file.com/index.php?dir=/G_series/G740-L00
- Please note, although it states "Emotion 1.6", the so-called "EmotionUI 1.6 B176" ROM only has Emotion 1.5, not 1.6.
