Hello, you guys. I'm hoping you could help me out. I need help with restoring a stock rom, or firmware for my Huawei Union Phone. It's running on EMUI 3.1. I rooted, (KingUser, Kingroot) removed some simple bloatware mess and restarted in to the Black Screen of Death after the LG symbol disappeared at boot up. I downloaded the firmware but, I don't know where to put it on my sd card so it can restore its self. I've tried restoring it from the menu after pressing Volume + and Power all together and doing it through Restore mode by using Volume + and Volume - and Power button at the same time. Still no restoration of the file. I've also extracted the file and placed the extracted files and the original zip to the root of my sd card. I even tried a video to help me out and still no luck! I've only had this phone for a day! Please, if you can, help me out with anything. :( :( :(

Hello, I'm wondering if you had any success with this. I have a Union Y538 that has gotten stuck on the Huawei logo at boot after I rooted the device. I can access all of the recovery areas, but I'm not sure where to find the firmware. According to another article about the G510 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401285), the proper location is sdcard/dload/update.app. I found some kind of image file associated with the y538 on the emui site, (http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=hwdownload) but I'm not sure what to do with it now. With the extracted package in the dload location, booting with Vol+ and Vol- held now gives me a screen that says "install failed". Any further advice would be appreciated.

I have a similar situation. I rooted with Kingroot, but lost root trying to switch to SuperSU with SuperSuMe. Now I can not re-root with Kingroot, so I want to reflash.
The EMUI site you're looking at does not have the "firmware" image file we need, it seems to have a source code package...

For other Huawei/EMUI phones you will find firmware image files...

PLEASE Let us know if you find the right firmware for Y538

Ah, for example, this site http://consumer.huawei.com/us/support/downloads/index.htm does have firmware for some of the older or more popular models, notice that a typical complete firmware file is 1+GB.

I have a Huawei Y538 Union that soft bricked/boot loops/hangs. Super su went to install, and when it removed the other version of Su, upon reboot, it was in an Unresponsive Vegetative State. ? I am more than happy and willing to install whatever messenger you prefer, I just need help....

Guess I will provide a step by step tutorial on how to restore your phone. This costs around ~$15 to do, but fixes your phone. I had my phone stuck on fastboot(100% unbootable) and fixed it instantly.

Firmware: http://depositfiles.com/files/0eghcq2tg
DC-Pheonix: https://forum.dc-unlocker.com/forum/modems-and-phones/huawei/155916-dc-phoenix

Download firmware and DC-Pheonix. Buy 15 credits on https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy and you will get a email with your username/password.
Load up DC-Pheonix and sign in. Load the .APP (its the 1.7gb file).
Put your phone in fastboot(mak sure you got all your drivers installed) and connect it to your pc.
click update
Let it finish and unplug your phone. Restart your phone. Done.
When setting up DC-Pheonix make sure it looks like this:

You can also buy 4 credits(if I remember correctly) and unlock your phone by using DC-Unlocker(https://www.dc-unlocker.com/downloads/DC_unlocker_software).

Anyone have a boost Y538 phone? I need the firmware from boost. Virgin Mobile firmware is very bad.

I'm a little confused as to how and LG symbol showed up if you're using a Huawei phone I can post a link to one of my backups for you but not if you don't have the right phone.

And to be honest I don't know if it will help you either way because I restored my backup from stock and the kingroot is were still there and I've been having trouble with it ever since
