I saw in that application has FULL OTA and OTA .. which one should I download to update


and to download I go in the option that is only DOWNLOAD..pra use next to Hstool????

Huawei changelogs are so boring nowadays so I decided to put something interesting into HSTool changelog. Currently testing new feature to let HiSuite skip download of original firmware. Sometimes it will do it anyway (on first use and every time new official OTA arrives, which is quite rare - bad for our phones, good for this hack).
Much faster flashing process, less display burn-in caused by fastboot idling! Seems working quite reliably. Stay tuned.

When using HSTool it has to be the full OTA - will be update_full_base,zip

I'm sorry, I use google translate .. what do you mean by screen burn by inactivity?

HSTool 1.3.0 (available for DL in OP) includes this acceleration. 1st run = no visible effect, 2nd+ runs will skip directly to 95% of HiSuite download phase completed in most cases.
In case of issues HSTool 1.2.1 is best bet.

Ah, so I suppose it downloads once, caches it and then checks for local files each subsequent time.

178 is out with now new fixes, pockedmode

 

[Xalies]

So all releases that i've tried from .208 to .222 have the same changelog.... something must have changed

Either:
- these are different versions intended for testing/modification by different carriers, or
- they are minor bug fixes for the update itself rather than extra Android patches

 

[dajumper]

I think the rest are betas and now 178 is final after 177

 

[Grondah]

Went from 222 to 178 using HSTool 1.3 okay. All working fine.
Haven't seen if "Pocket mode" works yet but it did preinstall different music files to other builds like it said it would

How was your experience with HSTool 1.3?
Will you please elaborate steps. I'm out of town so that I haven't tested yet.
