How to upgrade to EMUI 3.0 B301 / B310

THESE ARE SIMPLIFIED GUIDES, PLEASE REFER TO THE FIRST PAGE FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS.


SOME FACTS ABOUT B301/B310
* I believe both ROMs shared the same base, except they are customized for their own (specific) region.
* CN ROMs use a common presets for all regions, hence why you won't have any problem using it with any variant.
* International sets can install EU ROM, and vise versa, but ofcause, you will be missing the presets.
* Live Recovery will NOT work on these ROMs, please flash TWRP to device if you need TWRP. (Eg: To full root)
* These ROM come with gapps (PlayStore, GMail, YouTube, G+, etc), you do not need to flash gapps packages manually.


REQUIREMENTS
* Bootloader MUST be unlocked to avoid bootloop/softbrick (I won't provide support for locked BL), you can relock it if needed.
* Make sure you have MTK VCOM drivers installed & SP FlashTool is in working condition, if not please refer to OP.
* Make sure your phone is charged before continue with the upgrade process.
* Make sure you have created ALL neccesary backup, esp ROM dump; I will not be responsible for any data loss.


The following guides used a more "official" way to upgrade, it will soon be replaced by easier method: TWRP flashable ROM.


UPGRADING TO EMUI 3.0 B301 BETA

Note: B301 is a closed beta ROM optimized for EU sets.

Method #1: Restore B301 Dump Using SPFT
Tips: You can use this method no matter what version you are currently running.

1) Download B301 dumped files (906 MB) provided by @kornis01 on this post, extract it when done.
2) Download View attachment B301_extras.zip, extract it, then add the extracted files to 'OUTPUT' folder above. (12+2=14 files)
3) Open SP FlashTool & load the scatter inside 'OUTPUT' folder, all 13 items should be loaded & checked.
4) Press 'F8' for Firmware Upgrade. (or 'F9' - Download if 'Firmware Upgrade' failed.)
5) Power off your phone and connect it to your computer. (Tips: Try connecting without battery if connecting with battery doesn't work)
6) Wait until the flashing process complete, then disconnect it, boot to stock recovery and perform a factory reset. (Ignore any error msg)


Method #2: Using B301 OTA update.zip
Requirement: SD Card, device MUST be running C432B111 with untouched system, stock boot and recovery.
Tips: If you flashed TWRP to device, you can restore stock recovery by flashing UPDATE-RestoreStockRecovery_JB_B111.zip.

1) Download B301 OTA file update_B301.zip (703 MB) and copy it to your SD Card. (Do not extract or rename the file)
2) Download H30-U10_EU_TWRP_*_LiveRecovery.zip & View attachment UPDATE-UpgradeWithOTAZip_B301.zip
3) Extract LiveRecovery & copy dload folder and UPDATE-UpgradeWithOTAZip_B301.zip to root dir of SD Card.
4) Reboot your phone & you should be booted to TWRP automatically. (If not, try other sd cards)
5) Press [Install] & navigate to /external_sd, select "UPDATE-UpgradeWithOTAZip_B301.zip" & confirm to flash it.
6) The phone will be rebooted to stock recovery and the upgrade process will begin. (Might fail if /system files has been modified)
7) Once the upgrade process completed, select "reboot system" and press power button to reboot.
Note:
* Factory Reset is optional but recommended if upgraded through this method.
* In case of bootloop after the upgrade, please perform the "Unlocking Bootloader" steps again.


UPGRADING TO EMUI 3.0 B310

Note: B310 is a leaked (probably beta) International ROM customized for Middle East countries.

Requirement+: SD Card & Stock recovery.
Tips:
* If you flashed TWRP to device, you can restore stock recovery by flashing UPDATE-RestoreStockRecovery_JB_B111.zip.
* If your stock recovery does not support upgrading to B310, extract & flash B111 stock recovery from above ^ zip first.

1) Download V100R001C900B310 (843.9 MB), extract it, then copy extracted dload folder to root dir of your SD Card.
2) Power off the phone, then start the phone by pressing & holding ALL three buttons together to enter SD Upgrade mode.
3) The upgrade process should begin automatically, loading will take some time, wait until it finished, then reboot. (Ignore any error)
4) Start the phone and continue with phone Setup, then check if you have EMUI 3.0 Launcher, if yes, you can skip all the below steps.

5) Download View attachment UPDATE-EMUI3-SetupFix_B310.zip and copy it to your SD Card. (No need to extract)
6) Download latest SPFT flashable TWRP for your variant, eg: H30-U10_TWRP_*.zip or H30-U10_EU_TWRP_*.zip
7) Now start SP FlashTool & load the scatter inside TWRP_Recovery folder, then press 'Download' button.
8) Power off the phone and connect the phone to computer. (Remove battery if connecting with battery doesn't work for you)
9) SP FlashTool should begin flashing the TWRP right after the screen turned off, disconnect the phone from pc when done.
10) Boot to TWRP, touch [Install] and select /external_sd/UPDATE-EMUI3-SetupFix_B310.zip and flash it.
11) Reboot to system, check if everything is OK, eg: EMUI 3.0 Launcher instead of stock Android Launcher.
Note:
* Perform a 'Factory Reset' if you have any issue like app crashing, force close, etc.
* In case you have difficulty entering TWRP, try with other timing or key combinations. (Refer to OP for alternative methods)

Once again, you have done a great work. Just a comment: China roms, like e.g the latest B266, do not come with all gapps. B266 has only google services installed and you need to manually install Google play and Google sync. There are two alternative ways to do that: 1. You can flash with custom recovery the gapps packages from the links in OP. 2. You can download Google play and Google sync from the online huawei market (http://a.vmall.com/search?wd=google sync) and install them.

Google play: http://a.vmall.com/app/C10057661

B310: Smooth transition!

I'm - was - on B115 in International set. Just downloaded the B310, unzipped, copied to SD card, performed a local update and voila! No worries about having to apply patches to get the signals back, or to install gapps... Honestly, I never thought I'd see this day :) Doesn't seem to be any issue so far. Some posts did mention disabled gestures or inability to install themes but I guess those were referring to EU sets. Thanks to all of those who guide and provide links for all of this stuff here.

I just refert back to Signed B108, but something's going wrong with the signal. it's gone, it seems i just flashing the un-official rom.
how could it be? anyway is it normally happen? then i just need to flash the modemfix through twrp?
#EDIT# I just forced update to B310 which comes with emui 3.0 for intl. set, but the problem still persist that the signal is disappear.

Getting IMEI on back on locked B108 is very tricky, i had to first revert back to B115 before B108 to get the IMEIs working last time.
It's recommended that you restore the original NVRAM backup before you unlock the phone, flash B108, and perform a Data Format with LiveTWRP before booting.
Also you can refer to what our friend berreh shared here.

Nope, these are leaked & beta UNOFFICIAL ROMs, but it has better compatibility compared to CN ROMs.

Someone manage to full root C900B310? Live recovery is not working on this rom (the phone boot normaly); the bootloader must be unlocked?

Yes many reported root is working fine with B310, you will have to flash TWRP to the device, and yes, you need to be unlocked.

You can't use this method unless you are on B111, yes you can update to B111 without any issue, but what for? SPFT method would be direct & faster.

As i mentioned, B310 is likely made for International sets, but customized for Middle East countries.
If you bought your 3c from any of those countries (eg: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, UAE, etc), then you don't need the patch, but it won't harm either if you applied it.
When users from other regions tries to use B310, it will give them something different, eg: No EMUI launcher, no Motions & Gestures settings, etc.

Dear all,

Thank you for donating your time and experience, specially for the OP, of course.
In the meantime, i'm on B310 and having some trouble step into the Engineer Mode (dial *#*#3646633#*#*). I had no problem in the previous version B115. Any thoughts?

Regards,
David

I just figure out that my phone is reversal of international rom. When i was flashing unoffcial rom then to get back the imei i flash the modemfix MY. But, this case is reverse, when i was in intl. roms i didn't get the imei. But the only way i have done is flashing modemfix CN. Something wrong with my device?

I'm using B310. Is there any way to use Xposed on this ROM without disabling Resources? I read somewhere that you can disable the theme engine by build.prop but it's still showing that red warning. I tried some power menu modules and they're not working. None of the modules I tried are working even after disabling Resources. Please help.

I have tried it with 3 differents firmwares and get the same result. I have revised tutorial often and there´snt error on that to comment, except this one.
Thank you in advance.

Can't Flash MIUI 6 on B310

I flashed B310 on Int'l set using SPFT guide and it's working great but then I tried flashing latest TWRP 2.8.6.0 and that happened successfully too and then I flashed MIUI 6 (Multi Language) with successful result. But when I turned on phone after flashing it, the Mi Logo just comes and goes like flashing. I left phone for 15 minutes and still it's just logo flashing. The phone is not vibrating. Can anyone help me?

Exact, there was a problem with download and now I have it extracted correctly. :D
Now, I´ve necessary files and have used firmware of P1 to extract file them for Sp flash tool. Sactter.txt is named like MT6582 but my terminal is not this nomenclature. Might it to work, anyway? and if it is like that ... would it work for all the firmwares of Huawei? Anyone that is the terminal?
Excuse if asking is too much but the post is quite extensive to read everything and I´m not quite shure of that. Thanks in advance for yours answers....and this fantastic Tutorial:good:

Nothing wrong, it's like that, like i said it's possible but very tricky, i would advise you to stay with unlocked and don't flash signed unless really necessary.
If you must get back to B108 signed, try Full Format Except Preloader, restore NVRAM then only flash B108, but please proceed with caution.

If you disabled Resources Hook, many xposed modules won't work because they depend on that function to do the work.
EMUI uses the similar technique for it's theming engine, and that caused trouble for Xposed, so you can only choose one.

Make sure you 'Format Data' in TWRP prior to installing the ROM.
I am not sure if the MIUI V6 shared by Ax1qwer work for International set or not, i think he swapped the kernel with EU kernel.

Thanks for the advice! Yes i figured i should update it, wish i could, but unfortunately i don't have much time to test new ROMs nowaday,
plus the guy on 4pda did a very good job maintaining the latest list of custom ROMs, so it's better refer to the 4pda post for new ROMs.
But if anyone of you tested any custom ROMs, feel free to share here along with some screenshots, i am more than happy to add it to the custom rom thread/post.

Did you mean Ascend P1? As far as i know the phone doesn't use MTK chip so it's doesn't use SP FlashTool either.
I am afraid you used the wrong guide, this guide is for Honor 3C with MT6582 only, sorry i can't help with the phone as i am not familiar with it.

Thanks for replying. I disabled the theme engine by changing ro.config.hwtheme=2 to ro.config.hwtheme=0, and did not disable *Resources Hook* but none of the modules I tried are working. I'm using the latest version of Xposed.

@CL So far this is the roms I have tried :)) Will try others or spend more time on finding bugs :)


CM11 1.0_5.29 and CM11 by fxluy800 - wierd static sound when touching the screen, cant take a video (camera app force closes when switching to video mode)no sound on music player, invalid imei.

Aosp rom from the list, i forgot the name - Didnt boot, booted one time but too many force closes (system ui and other core apps)

H30-U10_ Xperia-v4.0_UI-v4a_SD - Didnt boot, maybe I was impatient tho :#

H30-U10Miracle II Xperia E4 - Too many force closes (system ui and other core apps) do a factory reset and got stucked on charging logo even though im not charging.

H30-U10-LG G3 OS no other language so didnt test it for long. Reverted to B266

I'm uzing the EU BETA on my chinese honor 3C for a couple of days, and my first impression is that kitkat is a little bit to much. Is hard to explain, but this is the overall feeling. Does anyone else have the same feeling? The new/different digitalizer can affect the functionality?

Reverting back from B310 to B115 (Int'l)

Okay so B310 is doing fine on International set, but I want to know something just in case. If I wish to revert to B115 (International) then a simple forced upgrade would do or will I need to get back the signed 108 (through SPFT) and then upgrade to B115?

I installed the Emui 3.0 according to Codelover's guide and it worked like a charm, the guide was simple to follow and complete as usual.

Unfortunately, before perfoming the wipes, I had forgotten to backup my pictures, which went lost. After flashing the TWRP recovery, I tried to mount the internal sd and connect my phone to the PC, as to recover the data via Recuva or a similar software, but the intermal memory of phone doesn't get recognized as drive by windows. Where am I going wrong?

    More information about this device:
    GXnnz3v.png


    DIFFERENT VARIANTS AND VERSIONS OF Honor 3C
    There are now five main versions of Honor 3C that i am aware of:
    H30-U10 (联通2G), H30-T00 (移动1G), H30-T10 (移动2G), H30-L01 (移动4G) and H30-L02 (联通4G).

    Most guides and resources provided on this thread are dedicated to Honor 3C 2G H30-U10 with MT6582 chip.
    But guides like SD Upgrade and ROM flashing using SPFT might also applicable to other variants with MT6582.
    Just make sure you don't mess up and use only files dedicated to your device, please check, and double check.

    Since we will be working with Honor 3C H30-U10, let's discuss some known variants of this version.

    • International set: Comes with LOCKED bootloader. (Ref. Build number: H30-U10 V100R001C900B1XX)
    • China set: Comes with UNLOCKED bootloader. (Ref. Build number: H30-U10 V100R001CHNC00B1XX)
    • Europe set: Comes with LOCKED bootloader. (Ref. Build number: H30-U10 V100R001C432B1XX)
    Note: International set sometimes referred to as global, MY (Malaysia) or TW (Taiwan) set.​

    Restoring Single Partition using SPFT (NVRAM, PRO_INFO, ETC) (Restore IMEIs)

    What's this all about?
    * You can follow this guide to restore individual/single partition which cannot be restored using standard 'Download' method.

    Warning:
    * Usually you DO NOT need to use this function, except when you accidently wrote to wrong partition, or ran a Full Format through SPFP.

    Tips:
    * You will need backup file created by SPFT's Read back function, and processed by dumpSplitter. (You can also use files from MtkDroidTool)
    * These special partitions backup files can be found under 'ROM_READ\OUTPUT\NoDL\' folder and start with 'nodl_' prefix.
    * For this guide, i will be using NVRAM that stores calibration data, device IMEIs, etc as an example.
    * You can also use the same method to restore almost all partition, provided that you know the start address of the target partition.


    1) Open SP FlashTool, enable 'Write Memory' under [Window] drop down menu.

    Force Upgrade / Installing ROM using UPDATE.APP (Method #1)
    What's this all about?
    * Incase you haven't heard about 'UPDATE.APP', it's one of the format used by Huawei/OEM to pack ROMs & provide updates.
    * This method requires a MicroSD with minimum size of 2 GB as the ROM itself could cost 1.2 GB for newer version of android, eg: KitKat.
    * Under normal 'Local Upgrade' mode, you are ONLY allowed to upgrade if your current version is listed under the ROM's supported version.
    * But with 'Force Upgrade', we can bypass version check and upgrade/downgrade to any supported ROM, as long as it's made for the device.

    Warning
    * You must be running stock recovery in order for this to work, otherwise use method #2 below to call this function.
    * Although it's called 'upgrade', it's not actually an upgrade, it's more like a Full Reset as data partitions will be cleared.
    * Make sure the phone is fully charged as the upgrade process is power-intensive and will drain your battery quickly.


    1) Download the target ROM file, extract the zip, copy extracted 'dload' folder to SDCard as '/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP'.

    992ikkK.png


    2) Power off the phone, restart the phone by holding [Volume Up/+] & [Volume Down/-], then press & hold [Power] button.
    3) The phone will be booted into recovery and the upgrade process will begin automatically.
    * The upgrade process takes around 3-10 minutes depending on your memory card speed.

    FCH10ut.png


    4) Once the upgrade process completed, a large 'OK' text similar to below will be shown and the phone will reboot by itself.

    j6dZBAq.png


    NOTE: If you are having International (aka MY/TW) set and upgrading to non-official ROM, you might also get the following error.

    W9bzTgK.png


    * The error was caused by missing preset in /cust partition specific for your country/region in non-official ROM, eg: ROMs from emui.com.
    * Don't worry as it won't affect the phone basic functionality, just restart the phone manually if you get the error message.

    Click to collapse
    Force Upgrade / Installing ROM using UPDATE.APP (Method #2)
    What's this all about?
    * Similar to method #1 above, this method can also be used to bypass version check when flashing 'UPDATE.APP'.
    * Unlike method #1 above, this method calls the target ROM's recovery and enter SD Upgrade with the help of 'au_temp.cfg'.
    * This method can be used even you are not using stock recovery, eg: installed a custom recovery.
    * However, NOT all target ROM support calling upgrade using this method, if that is the case use method #1 above.


    1) Download the target ROM file, extract the zip, copy extracted 'dload' folder to SDCard as '/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP'.

    2) Create an empty file 'au_temp.cfg' and copy it to '/sdcard/dload/au_temp.cfg' alongside 'UPDATE.APP'.

    cOSh3GW.png


    3) Power off the phone, then start the phone normally by pressing [Power] button only.

    4) The phone will be booted into recovery and the upgrade process will begin automatically.

    * All remaining steps are similar to method #1 above. (Step 3 onwards)

    Reverting to / Restoring Stock Recovery
    What's this all about?
    * Some people prefer custom recovery (eg: TWRP, CWM) over stock recovery because the earlier provides more functionality.
    * However, custom recovery does not work well with Huawei specific update files, for eg: EMUI OTA zip and UPDATE.APP.
    * Because of this you will need to restore the stock recovery before you perform any EMUI related update.
    * Please note that the 'stock recovery' we are talking about is the 'Android system recovery <3e>'.


    1) Download recovery flashable stock recovery 'UPDATE-RestoreStockRecovery_*.zip' from HERE.

    2) Copy above .zip file to your external sdcard.

    3) Boot into your custom recovery, eg: TWRP and flash (Install) the updater zip that you just copied.

    4) If the flashing process completed successfuly, you should have the stock recovery restored to phone memory.

    5) To confirm, back to [Home], enter '[Reboot/Power]' menu and choose 'Reboot into Recovery'.
