WP 8.1 Update 2

Hi!

I've been trying to update my Huawei W1-U00 to WP 8.1 Update 2 for some time now, but it seemed to be impossible. Yesterday I finally found the way to do it, and I wanted to share this info with you guys.

1. You need to install custom ROM by WojtasXda v1.32 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686053

2. Install Preview for Developers, activate it and then install all the updates you can

3. Install registry editor to your phone and change these keys this way:

[HKLM\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]
"PhoneManufacturer" = "ARCHOS"
"PhoneMobileOperatorName" = "000-88"
"PhoneManufacturerModelName" = "BUSHWindowsPhone"

4. Deactivate Preview for Developers and search for updates again

5. Install the updates and that's it. Now you have WP 8.1 Update 2 on your phone!


Other tips:

After step 5 is done, you can use registry editor to change the keys back as they were before

If you want to install some apps made for Lumia Phones only, like Lumia Camera or PhotoBeamer, you first need to set these values:

[HKLM\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]
"PhoneManufacturer"="NOKIA"
"PhoneManufacturerModelName"="RM-976_1115"
"PhoneFirmwareRevision"="01061.00066.14235.36003"
"PhoneHardwareVariant"="RM-976"
"PhoneMobileOperatorName"="000-GB"

That's it, I hope this helped!

Same problem here!

Follow these steps to install WP10 preview on the W1:
1) Flash latest rom (v1.32)
2) get the latest updates (there should be one)
3) enter mass storage mode and free space by deleting not needed languages and fonts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRCyM_lz_J8)
4) repartition the phone storage (you have to put your phone into mass storage mode) --> move 550MB from SYSTEM to DATA like shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWGNJULSn1c
5) edit registry to fake a Lumia 530 (easiest way for me was to load the files from the phone via a regular Windows installation and edit it there)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]
"PhoneFirmwareRevision"="02060.00000.15053.24002"
"PhoneFriendlyName"="Windows Phone"
"PhoneHardwareRevision"="1.0.0.0"
"PhoneHardwareVariant"="RM-1017"
"PhoneManufacturer"="NOKIA"
"PhoneManufacturerModelName"="RM-1017_1046"
"PhoneMobileOperatorName"="000-33"
"PhoneModelName"="Lumia 530"
"PhoneOEMSupportLink"="http://link.nokia.com/support"
"PhoneRadioSoftwareRevision"="20c9.00069.0001"
"PhoneROMLanguage"="100C"
"PhoneSOCVersion"="8212"

6) Install the Windows Insider App --> select Fast ring --> search for Updates
7) Install WP10 Preview (Note: I had to hard reset my phone after the installation went through. After that it worked fine.) <-- This will take FOREVER!

PS: there is also an image (zip-file) of a WP10 preview build available. This could be flashed directly...however, I didn't try it.

So I installed wp10 on my mobile but after a bit of restart it stuck on a reboot loop even after a hard reset. Do you have a solution to that?

Well the first thing I would do is to just reflash the 1.32 ROM and start fresh from there. Did you actually get to booting into WP10 at some point or did the installation fail at some point? I had a problem when my device got too hot during the install and crashed (hang).
We can also have a look at the your partition size...maybe something wrong there

i got windows phone 10 and could interact with it but the problem was that I've got the battery status and sd card reading problem still persisting on windows phone 10. the mobile just turned off, I connected it to the charger then it booted showing the battery icon charging. I waited for it and it restarted but to show only a black screen. I waited and waited..... then removed the battery put it back in then turned on the phone showed the logo Huawei then suddenly restarted then again showed the logo. it rebooted constantly without hope.( I flashed the rom v1.32 again then did the same thing. but still the same problem)
I'm doing it the third time. I'll see if it works. if it does then windows phone 10 if not then I will flash back windows phone 8.1

I'm not entirely sure but I think I had a similar issue forcing me to do a hard reset. It seems you just removed the battery (soft-reset) but didn't do a hard reset. I would strongly suggest doing a hard reset once the boot loop occurs!

i did a hard reset but still in vain. i've found a text document in efiesp disk and found a lot of errors.
there was a lot of "Failed to...."
i think this is the problem.

I don't have that file on the efisp partition. But maybe you should give it one last try with a little twist: I had to put mine in the fridge! Otherwise I was unable to install any wp10 builds! I tried like 5 or 6 times with all sorts of errors like hanging during installation and reboot-loops. Putting it in the fridge solved all those errors and all upgrades went flawlessly.
If you need any files/images from the partitions/disk, let me know.

you really saying "in a fridge". you put the mobile in the fridge and it helped? and for how long? cause I don't my mobile to freeze inside the fridge

I'm not joking! Some time ago I read about someone having trouble with his W1 and it turned out to be heat related.
It's close to 30°C here (inside) and the mobile gets very hot to the touch during the installation process. So during the installation of 10166 and 10512 it had to spend its time in the fridge(not the freezer!)!
I have no idea if this helps with your problem but i was able to reproduce the behavior several times (what a waste of time that was).

Hi tried this today too (exactly as you wrote). I had a doubt about de-activating developer preview in case I updated some hardware software too., However, it worked perfectly and I now have 8.1 update 2 on my Huawei W1 (sd card works and apps from Microsoft store..thanks to WojtasXda too).
Thanks very much!!
