Q&A for [ROM] HUAWEI Ascend W1-U00 | v1.00

It seems that in this video it's described, how the sdcard-problem can be permanently solved, so that we don't have to put the card out and in after a shutdown. Is this right?

Can this be implemented in the rom?

I don't understand the steps to do in the video. I can only recognize that i has something to do with visual studio. Can someone describe it more detailed?

Everyone please donate, so he can buy a new gorilla glas display!

You did notice that this is an emulated device I hope? Rules for an emulator and for a live device are usually different.. just because a fix works in the emulator it doesn't have to work with the device.. and as far as I'm aware it doesn't.

Registry tweaks from russian forum (4pda)

Here, guys, tweaks for our HUAWEI W1.
Go to \Windows\Packages\RegistryFiles and place OEMSettings.reg here.
First bootup will be ~2 minites.
Tweak list:

• -Camera sound on/off in sound settings;
• -Wi-Fi connection sound on/off;
• -3g/Wi-Fi arrows in status bar switched on;
• -Activated PfD (don't install program);
• -Jailbreak(interop unlock,capabilities unlock)
• -Can be installed hacked appx's from wp-seven
• -SDK registered
• -Search button opens google
• -Any app can be placed to camera's button (e.g. OneShot)
• -Now you have Nokia Lumia 920 (doesn't really work).

To make your phone 'NL920', you must mount in regedit 'SYSTEM' and install 2nd (zip). After that, you can easily install all Nokia Exclusives via SysApp Pusher (also, more apps in store!).

 

[GoodDayToDie]

I think you've got a typo in the OEMSettings.reg file (inside the same-named archive), on one of the tweaks that's supposed to give file system via USB:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\controlset001\services\MtpSvn]

should be

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\controlset001\services\MtpSvc]

unless it's supposed to control the Media Transfer Protocol Subversion

Will this work with Huawei Ascend W1-U00 from Globe PH plan?

Hi.
My phone was given to me by my mother who received it with her Globe (a Philippine mobile network service provider) postpaid plan (which unusually uses prepaid services). I've been frustrated with this phone's storage becoming full very easily even though I only have very few apps (except for Spider-Man Unlimited which downloaded a 200-MB DLC) installed and I don't put any files in the phone storage. Since Huawei seemingly abandoned their Windows phones, there's no hope of us getting any update so we're stuck with the stock WP8 update 1. Will this custom ROM work with this particular W1-U00? Does anyone know where I can get a stock ROM for this particular phone?

Name: Windows Phone
Model: HUAWEI W1-U00
Software: Windows Phone 8.0
Screen Resolution: 480x800

OS version: 8.0.10211.204
Firmware revision number: 1030.5614.29400.20500
Hardware revision number: HD1U8835M Ver.B
Chip SOC version: 8230

Hello everyone !
I have new W1, but this is U34 version. Anyone tried flashign this model? Acctually QPST shows error "Cookie (if present) not received.

I have the U34 and I've not been able to flash it. I always get the same cookie error in QPST, and handshake failure error in WP8 Flash Tool.
I hope you will be able to find the way to flash the U34.

 

[Stragar]

You need install Windows 7, Use Qemu or Vmware. Drivers from package with QPST doesnt works in W8.

That's not true at all. QPST works perfectly fine on Windows 8. The only issue is if you're running a x64 OS, in which case you need to run the QPST programs as admin.

Is this ROM only in English language?

Problems with Flashing

Hello!

At First thanks for the good work. I will donate it, if i getting it work for me.

I got some Problems with flashing.

1) With Flash Tool:
Diag Setting is on, Phone is resetted and with the Flashtool i get the "Firmware Handshake Fail"-Error.

2) With QPST i can get into Download Mode (Qualcomm ... 9008) but then it shows me a "Cookie not received"-Error.
I tried the Flashtool in Downloadmode but that doesnt recognize my device.

My PC-Config:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
Intel i5 Notebook

My Handy-FW:
Huawei W1-U00 Simlock Free
OS Version: 8.10.14203.306 Developer Preview

Thank you very much!

Edit:
I got the Problem. It only works for me without Diag Settings and only with QPST.
The folder from the Repair Bootloader was: W1-U00 Repair bootloader/flashing/
and i only copied the "flashing" folder. Now no "Cookie"-Error.
Hope this helps someone....

Error 109 on WP8CRUU.exe

Does v1.10 require v1.00 flashed first? I'm getting an error 109 (Cannot open device Qualcomm MMC Storage USB Device) when I run WP8CRUU.exe. My phone's (W1-U00) already in mass storage mode.

Now, I'm getting an error 5 (Cannot open device Qualcomm MMC Storage USB Device).

Can anyone please help me with this? I was able to flash the ROM with mass storage mode capability and set my phone to mass storage mode. Now, I can't flash the custom ROM because of this error. I don't think I missed anything. I'm running this on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I didn't install MS Visual Studio 2013 since it requires Windows 8.1. I did install the Qualcomm USB drivers, simpleio, and QPST. I have MS Visual C++ 2005, 2008, and 2012 (all 32-bit) installed.

Arhy's workaround didn't work for me, by the way.

personal settings/data

Hi everybody,
is there a possibility to flash the rom and still keeping the wp8 personal settings (like contacts, certificates, calendar arrangements,...)

Or is it possible to do a "backup" of personal data in wp8 and do restore in wp8.1 ?

Any hints welcome.

BTW
Thanks for the rom and the hard work...

Try going to Settings -> backup.

Try going to Settings -> backup.

Thanks for the reply...

As far as is can see you just can backup fotos, messages, and IE-settings.
(no contacts, calender-information, certificates,...)

Is there another way to get at least my contacts from WP8 to WP8.1?

An additional question:
Is it possible to get back to WP8 after flashing the WP8.1 rom?

Any hints welcome

best regards
andi
