honor 3c rooting issue

I successfully rooted my honor 3c using vroot . Some apps got root access but I am facing problem with some apps like GameCIH and cheatengine (ARM, through terminal emulator) which ends in error for no root access . I have also installed BusyBox but no success. I have been trying to install SuperUser but I guess it needs to be installed through TWRP ; If thats the case please guide me through some safe process steps.

 

[shery butt]

Install the fullroothelper. Zip from twrp to gain full access of root. Inother words your phone will be fully rooted

some one can tell me how i can enable 3g on both sims. Right now I can use 3g on one sim which is in wcdma slot and for using 3G on 2nd sim need to replace slot. it this possible without replacing slots. Thanks

 

[mr.m.imran]

@fysalkhan: AFAIK 3G can be used only on SIM 1.

Have you found any solution? i am experiencing the same issue. The GPS keeps turning on.

Model: H30-U10
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: H30-U10 V100R001C900B110

@yasir04, @Sherry butt:
I had the same issue a couple of weeks back. I've been using the set for about four months but never had any such problem. A short while back I made a full backup of the ROM using SPFT and when I turned the phone on after the whole process, the GPS turned on and started searching for location. In my case, it only turned on when I switched the mobile data on. As soon as I stopped the mobile data, the GPS would turn off. I tried all sort of things like restarting the phone, disabling the GPS, but nothing worked. I then opened Google Maps and all other apps using GPS, and let them run for a while and at the same time enabled the mobile data so that the GPS would turn on itself. After a while I closed all the apps and the GPS. To my surprise, the GPS stayed off! I disabled the mobile data and enabled it again, but GPS stayed off. Strange.
So this is what you could try: open all apps which use GPS and let them run for some time till the GPS gets its bearings. Try to do it in open space or near to a window so that the GPS is able to see a few satellites. Then once a location fix is obtained, turn off everything. Just try.

WARNING! - you will have to Unlock the Bootloader for this ~!!!!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

i would like to thank a few devs -- @codelover for his remarkable guide of unlocking and flashing recovery in H30 U10 !! and also @Wonitor for porting MIUI to HONOR 3C !!!

Steps to Flash:

Ensure the phone is on JB 4.2.2. ( Any Version , for international it would be B115 or lower ) Bootloader must be unlocked!

Follow this Guide at your risk ( Warranty will be void once Unlocked!!)

PLEASE TAKE A FULL BACKUP USING SP FLASH TOOL READ BACK FEATURE!!!

1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54603756&postcount=4

Once you have Unlocked the Bootloader and then proceed to Flash TWRP !!

2) Now Please take a Full Backup in TWRP !!

3) Download this ROM from the MIUI Site

4) Place in root of Memory Card and proceed by wiping Cache , Data and Flash the ROM
Note : Boot.img will be replaced by this ROM ( for newbies )

5) Once Flashed Proceed to Reboot , Wait patiently for MIUI to boot up !!!

6) Reboot Again and Flash Gapps (from here )

Enjoy and dont forget to press Thanks !!!:good::good: ( Let me know if any Questions and do not Quote this OP !)

IMEI is no more an issue , Very Happy about that

Tips for Setting 2G Network!

1) Go to Stock Settings in MIUI , 2) Choose the first Chinese option and in that Choose Network mode and Select 2G Only !:laugh::laugh::good:

2)Never Restore any of your Old backups !! from EMUI 2.3 or 2.0

to be Continued!!!.....

HOW TO UNBRICK HUAWEI HONOR 3C

If your reading this very carefully , then i assume you had tried some recovery image which caused you a BOOT LOOP :laugh:

Dont worry , i am now going to explain all possible ways to RECOVER YOUR PHONE


MOST IMPORTANT ( IF UR PHONE IS CURRENTLY STILL WORKING)

1) do not attempt to flash recovery without a backup done using SP Flash tool by using read back and taking a master dump

2) do not assume anything, focus while using a flash tool


OKAY MOST IMPORTANT THING, DONT LEAVE THE PHONE IN BOOTLOOP, it will drain the battery


1) step one download all the three things given in the attachment below

2) unzip alll the items

3)Install the Drivers safely , for windows 8 , disable the signature thingy !

4) THE SP FLASH TOOL , Keep it open

5)CHOOSE THE SCATTER FILE AS GIVEN IN ATTACHMENT

6) NOW CHOOSE THE RECOVERY GIVEN IN ATTACHMENT BY PLACING IN THE sp fLASH TOOL FOLDER

7 cLICK DOWNLOAD AND KEEP USB CABLE TO PC AND NOT TO MOBILE

6) remove battery and connect phone in META MODE ( Vol + and power ) TO pc


7 a RED BAR GOES SUPER FAST ! AND THEN yellow AND finally the green all PASS SYMBOL COMES UP

YOUR SAFE !!!! AND BACK TO ORGININAL STOCK RECOVERY


IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS , PLZ ASK ME !! AND DONT FORGET TO THANK ME
________________________________________________________________________________________

RULES WHILE DOING OTA ! ( INCASE OF FLASHING B6XX on International Version)

1) DO NOT ROOT

2) DO NOT PUT ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY ( ELSE U Will Boot into that and the OTA Will not Flash !)

3) EnSURE u have unlocked your bootloader before an OTA !

4) If LOCKED THEN , U R GONNA BRICK YOUR PHONE !! ( WHEN U DO AN OTA)


IF OTA FAILS AND PHONE DOES NOT BOOT ,

FIRST THING WOULD BE 1) FLASH CUSTOM RECOVERY , 2) RESTORE SYSTEM 3) ENJOY

TWRP Works Awesome with INTERNATIONAL !! @codelover , Thanks for your wonderful Guide !! )


Kindly Go Through @codelover's Guide to Obtain the Drivers ,Links and other Important Softwares !!

Please thank @codelover for his efforts and contributions , if Possible please donate him a Beer
