What exactly is this? I have a Huawei W1 (Tracfone) and have not found away to get even GDR2 yet, at least without losing my 3G connection and to make matters worse straight talk says it has no plans to update the device. Will this allow me to flash GDR3?

nope, it will not. this is not a flashable file. I will look for a tutorial on how to flash GDR3 on a Huawei Ascend W1 and post the link here.

Will I still be able to keep my 3G connection (Tracfone)? Last time I flashed a china and Russian gdr2 and both only would allow a 2G connection as the result I ended up going back to the stock tracfone rom.
I really don't know. Maybe you can set the APN of your carrier manually. Try the GDR2 ROM at windowsmania.pl, this may work for you.

Tried that a few months back the flash was successful and could change apn however when selecting network it only allows me to select 2G. When flashing back to the stock Tracfone ROM I'm able to select 3G or 2G. I'm thinking the only solution is a custom American based Rom.

Hello, i have a Huawei W1 simlocked to Portugal TMN and i buy codes from mobileunlocked and sim-unlock, both codes that they supplied are the same and don´t work on my phone.

You could switch to mass storage and delete Huawei folder content. After it you loosing IMEI but you have to make a copy all files before it. Phone should be unlocked

You mus edit this file in HEX editor and paste it to DPP / HUAWEI ;)
Than you, WojtasXda you're a WP GOD :)

I left BOARD_CODE.PROVISION, DIAGLOCK_PWD.PROVISION modified DESCRYPT_ID.PROVISION and deleted AFTER20000_BAK1.PROVISION and NVBAK.PROVISION and now i'ts SIM Unlocked.

If it's not too much to ask what are those files (AFTER20000_BAK1.PROVISION and NVBAK.PROVISION) for?
Because if I put back NVBAK.PROVISION to get the device serialnumber back it will lock the device again.

Best regards

Did MS stop pushing the 8.1 update to the W1? I am part of the developer program and have installed 8.1 on my phone many times before. Now when I have the Preview for Developer installed and check for updates it does not find anything. I am stuck at 8.0.10521.155. If this is the case and MS stopped pushing the update can we manually push it to the phone?

Developer Update to 8.1 it's not possible now because of the BitLocker problem *Maybe*
So you have to wait for official update !
