@WojtasXda So the Huewei flash process uses Qualcomm Download Mode to flash....interesting!

The HTC 8x has a hard-key combination that will put it into this mode....It looks like your huewei flasher can be modded to flash to the 8X (Same mode, different chipset) :) hopefully I will have some time this weekend to try a few things. Do you have any info on how to inflate/repack the app file?

Unable to flash step 1

WojtasXda, thank you for this ROM!

Unfortunately I'm unable to flash the first step.
When clicking "Scan && Download" I'm getting "Firmware (HandShake Fail)".
The application is trying to flash on COM19: "Qualcomm WinMobile Diagnostics 319B".

The phone is a Huawei W1-U00
OS version: 8.0.10517.150
OS Revision: 1030.5612.22500.05600
Hardware Revision: HD1U8835M Ver.B
SOC-version: 8230

I tried entering download mode manually by holding down VOL+ and Power.
Got "UEFI USB Simple Windows Phone I/O Protocol" in device manager.
When clicking "Scan && Download" I got another error: "Download Fail, Unexcepted Feedback Value!" (yes, it says "unexcepted")

If anyone have an idea what could be wrong I would be very grateful. I bought this phone just to test the custom ROM.

EDIT:
I finally managed to flash step 1 after resetting the bootloader using the following guide:

I have a U34 (with wp8.0 GDDR1), any chance it will work or can you make another version for it too, plus the download link is not working, any alternate.

Edit- I tried flashing a stock U00 and U34 GDDR2 English rom but got HandShake Fail.

Use this guide, but use the ROM WojtasXda posted.

You don't have to wait until WojtasXda posts step 2, here's how to install GDR3:

1. register as developer on http://appstudio.windowsphone.com
2. Install Preview for developers app
3. Update to GDR3 using Preview
4. Install EnableAllSideloading XAP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2258633&d=1379229845

To get 3 rows of tiles, use WPH Tweaks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486387

If this worked for you, please press thanks and I will be happy ;)

Hi together,

first excuse for my bad english!

I added it to come now geschaft on GDR3 Including German language so it is really a super thing .... unfortunately Nevertheless goes no play eg Nova3 and also go just a few tweaks since WPHTweaks was probably designed more for Samsung. The File Explorer will not work either.

But the very Brilliantly now GDR3 goes with German language and also the 3 column is finally unlocked.

Very good work and a big thank you.

Greeting SirusX


EDIT:

Would love some pictures but can not upload the forum implies denying me this

Edit: Could it be due to my phone being sim locked

Thank you very very much for your work WojtasXda. I have just flashed the ROM and it is perfect!
I have one question regarding Windows Phone 8.1. Your ROM is obviously GDR2 based and we can update using the Developer Preview-program. But, will we receive Windows Phone 8.1 through Developer Preview if we don't have Retail GDR3?

@nilezon: I will figure out how to add language packs and tell you the reason if available.


@error0x0000034: Yes, it works. You can update to WP 8.1 via developer preview without losing interop unlock.

I would be very glad to see a tut on how to install language packs. I'm also trying to figure this only problem for me out, when I will find it I will absolutely share it with my fellow xda'ers
