[ROM][19FEB][Ascend XT] H1611.STOCK.ROOTED.NOVA.B150.ROM

[clsA]

Don't have much time here but wanted to get this out

Here's My First Roms for the Huawei Ascend XT

Flashing instructions.. You Must already be on B150 firmware.
You must Mount - System / Cust and Data in TWRP before you start the install.
After install wipe cache / dalvik and reboot

Note if you not on B150 firmware I have a guide here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3555254 on how to update

H1611.STOCK.ROOTED.NOVA.B150.ROM

H1611.B150.Debloated.Rom​

The stock rooted nova has a lot of apps disabled
the Debloated Rom actually removes a bunch of stuff

As Always Make a Backup before you flash Anything ... Factory reset is not required but you may loose some stuff so be aware

I re-uploaded H1611.STOCK.ROOTED.NOVA.B150.ROM with the correct /cust in it
the first one had the debloated /cust in it by mistake

It's not something I will use personally but thank you for your efforts. it is appreciated!

 

[Daiison]

Just installed this and it changed my IMEI number. Luckily I had a backup and was able to fix it. Thanks anyways

How much is the free space with the debloated version?

I believe the free space remains the same no matter what the debloating consist of. With EMUI the 8GB (approx) usable space remains, the rest is dedicated to the system/phone partition.

Ugh! How did you fix the IMEI?

Sorry but it must have been something else you flashed or restored the Rom doesn't contain any partitions that hold the IMEI

The efs1 and efs2 partitions hold your IMEI and Serial Number ...flashing the roms will not affect those

 

[divineBliss]

That's what I thought, and obviously since you know that, you would not post a ROM with those two files, I presume, so I wonder how OPs IMEI changed?

I've read that one should not even restore their own EFS backups unless absolutely necessary, as doing that may lead problems/corruption.

I'm not sure what they did. I know all the TWRP backups I have uploaded have the efs partitions removed for just that reason

All I did was mount the data, system, cust, and microsdcard (where I put the ROM zip) partitions then hit install - h1611 debloated, wiped cache, and then rebooted. Tried it a second time and it still changed the IMEI to mod edit: IMEI deleted.

Note: I don't have a SIM card in the phone as I'm still using my other phone for now but I don't know if that makes a difference. The phone is SIM unlocked. I updated the firmware to B150 before the rom install using your other post and had the stock_b150_pre_root recovery loaded. That is what I used to restore the original IMEI.

One thing that it did do was remove a lot of the AT&T bloatware even after the stock_b150_pre_root restore so I'm happy with how it turned out.

@clsA,

A little bird told me that the IMEI Daiison posted below belongs to your phone, so if indeed your OP files don't contain EFS partition backups, then it's very interesting how Daiison's phone now has your IMEI # after following OP instructions, isn't it .

Yeah I pulled the download links till I figure out what's going on... I'm really starting to dislike this phone more and more

Thanks for reporting this, it's really not supposed to work like that. I'll try and hunt down what went wrong

I did use your other thread to update from B140 to B150, and my original IMEI is still intact. I don't think I used your TWRP data image, so that might be a factor. I doubt the boot or system images are a factor because @dabadguycr and I compared checksums for our backups of those two IIRC , and we had identical checksums, so my suspect is the data image - but I didn't think that's where the IMEI is stored - very confusing .

Sorry, I did not mean to post your IMEI. I thought it was just some random number or the default one for Huawei phones. I tried the install a third time with the SIM card installed and it didn't make a difference.

 

[divineBliss]

Well, how would you know that? And it's a good thing you were observant and noticed the IMEI changed. The SIM card should not make a difference, and it has nothing to do with the IMEI number getting set on the phone.

OK here's where I have a problem you say you restored your stock IMEI by restoring the stock_b150_pre_root
All this restores is Stock
Boot.img
Recovery.img
System.img
and an Empty /data

None of these partitions could restore your correct IMEI so what is going on ?

The rom's contain
Boot.img (custom rooted)
cust.img (debloated or Stock depends on which rom)
data.img (so root works and some apps are preinstalled)
system.img

As you can see nothing in the Rom has any IMEI info in it many of us have flashed the different /cust backups and never had the IMEI affected so I don't see /cust being the problem ...So is it possible no roms can be flashed to this phone ?

Did anyone else that downloaded the Rom's actually flash it and have your IMEI changed ?
