hamdimo · Nov 17, 2013

UPDATED 7/01/2014: added a link to surdu_petru's cyanogenmod
added MIUI 3.12.6 instead of 3.12.22, the last one caused some troubles
added new instrustions for a working TWRP
thread organized for a better and easier view

In This thread i will keep an eye on every forum that has a HAM section to find every ROM being developed for out device

How to get TWRP
1_ Use TWRP recovery from the ascend P6 forum "credits to surdu_petru"
If you found the instructions a bit confusing then do as follows
a- Download this zip containing some files we need, extract it and copy the 4 files within to the root of your sd card
b- Install Touch Recovery.apk, launch the app then hit "Install Recovery" this will ask for root permission, when it done, hit "Reboot into Recovery"
c- When in CWM recovery, select "install zip" and look for "Touch Recovery Loader.zip" in your exterbal sd card
d- Selct "install zip" again and this time look for "TWRP_01" and "TWRP_02" install them both one by one.
e- Select Reboot System, when the phone rebootsn first you get to see the HUAWEI ASCEND logo, then the LED light will turn GREEN so quickly keep pressing "volume+" or "vomule-" til the LED light turns RED
f- If you did everything right you should be now in TWRP
2_ In TWRP recovery, select "Install" then flash the zip file you want

How to Flash a stock ROM
1_ download the rom and unzip it
2_ put the dload folder in the root of your external sd card
3_ make sure the folder dload contains one file names "UPDATE.APP"
4_ backup system settings and other configurations to external sdcard using the backup app from huawei
5_ go to settings>about phone>system update>local update>confirm

CM 10.2 on Ascend Mate?

Does anyone know how hard it would be to get CM 10.2 to run on the Ascend Mate? Just got the phone and really love it but can't stand all the bloat which really kills the batty. Love to have something lean and mean like CM running on my phone.

Thanks.

CM 10.1 is the best we can hope for until huawei release a 4.3 or 4.4 rom for the mate and then we will still need a way to flash a custom recovery. Until then our options are very limited.

MIUI 5 3.8.12 for Huawei Ascend Mate.

Hey all, I found this ROM; an update (I think) to the previous MIUI ROM. I've loaded it up and have had no real problems. Pretty simple install. Skipped the MIUI and GMS downloads. Used latest Google Play apk instead. First off, the bottoms don't show. Go to settings and change nav button height (I changed both portrait and landscape to "52" and it looks nice).
Overall, this MIUI stuff seems pretty slick! =)

hi thegooz,

i hv downloaded it. just in case would you be kind to include how you flash it with a guide? thanks.
i read the guide but just in case someone would want to ask the same question over and over again, they'll have the flashing guide.

i havent install it yet, wanna try when i get back.
by the way, i revert back to B221, will it be compatible? i also had downloaded the Official B907 from the russian site but have not flash yet.
just want to know anyone experiences towards these.

theoppositeman · Dec 27, 2013

I feel that i've made a mistake.
I try flashing the miui rom from thegooz link. Its stuck in bootloop/keep restarting when still reading files during the last system reading. That was in 60% batt.
Now keep restarting that way.
When i discionnect the charging cable it turn off and restarting again. Same as when i connect the cable again.
Any suggestion guys.

I've used the B907 as well. It's just a dload onto the SDcard and install. That ROM seems to be the best one in my experience. However, I couldn't the hide/show nav buttons to work. I ended up using Ultimate Dynamic Navbar Lite by Pavel (googleplaystore) to get the effect.

I'll probably switch back to it soon. I like MIUI but, it isn't as smooth although it looks better; and some things don't work well, i.e., voice assistant is in Chinese, MIUI audio player doesn't work with APEX launcher....things like that.

This is how I installed it. You might have to unplug/replug the usb and start over if it doesn't read Daemon. just unplug phone, close bluish/green window and try again. It took me a couple of times.-

Unzip ROM to desktop.
Put your usb cable in your pc and your phone.
Check if it is in debug mode (I was connected as Huwaei suite option).
If it isn't in debug, then go to settings developer options put usb debugging on.
Open ROM folder on desktop and press shift and double click on flash_all (its a batch file)
A command line window will appear in blueish/green (it's in Chinese).
Just press 1 on your keyboard and press enter (rom)
Then press enter again.
The phone will shutdown and will immediately will reboot you will get the Huawei ascend logo en the files will transfer now wait the phone will boot into the new ROM and your done (give it a while and don't unplug until the window appears to be completed).

I've done before and was able to dload back to B907 off SD card.

I've a 1.5gb version phone.

Good luck.

I am now stuck in bootloop. Mistakrnly didnt realised the battery is low 4+%.
At first try it went to bootloop so i restart in recovery force update with dload in ext sd card. Until 'Checking Module SYSTEM' phone restart in the middle and keep restarting at huawei logo.
I think battery not enough. So now i need help if anyone knows how to deplete
The battery so can charge. No led light when connect to usb cable/ no signal of the mate charging.

You will probably need to leave ur mate on charge for sometime before ur mate is able to return to its normal state.

Try also the force installation method to install the B907 ROM to revive ur unit.
(with or without the charger connected).

Hope this helps..

Agreed. Or try holding all three buttons (pwr/volume +/_-) and wping/ clearing data then any ROM from SDcard (dload)

theoppositeman · Dec 29, 2013

Thanks gooz n syaah.

It seems when i connected to cable to charge its not charging but turn on and stuck on the huawei logo. Cant turn it off except if i disconnect the cable. Theres no led light when connect to cable too.

When i press both vol button it will start the sdcard update but stuck in the last 'Checking Module SYSTEM' and when its in middle loading it restarted either back to the sdcard update or stuck in the logo screen.
I did left the phone stuck on the logo for a night hoping it will deplete the batt but to no avail. Still the same situation.

Hello !

As I can see , you are able to use TWRP Recovery !

Now you can test a beta CyanogenMod 10.1 , should be ok also on HAM !

Good luck !
