Hi all,

 

i have flashed my U8730 (MyTouch Q) with the rom of U8681 and it boot,the phone works better on ICS

what's working almost everything and it's rooted

the device boot in landscape mode instead of portrait mode with hardware keyboard closed.

i have some problem with rotation sensor,need hardware keyboard to be open all time to have auto rotation work

 

how to fix that? maybe kernel issue. If someone can debug it...

 

So don't use ICS on Huawei U8730 only for U8680.

 

How to install the rom:

->download the rom zip http://www.mediafire...3u1/hwu8681.zip

->put it on sdcard

->download cwm recovery http://www.mediafire...c2/recovery.img

-> download boot.img http://www.mediafire...kqindf/boot.img

->put them in image folder into pink screen and delete cust.img

->pull out the battery and replace it

->boot in cwm pressing volume up + power

->wipe all: factory reset, format system, format HWuserdata, and format dalvik cache also.

->reboot device into cwm recovery

->mount system

->flash the rom zip

->reboot system and wait

 

PS: many thanks to IRX102 for provide me the update.app

PS: to fix auto rotation with physical keyboard we need to edit android.policy.jar and maybe framework-res

 

i post some screen

I tried to install the update.app for U8681 on U8680 (Huawei MyTouch). Firmware Update installation failed after going into download mode and unpacking. Is this how you did it? Any ideas?

[magikstar29]

i haven't used the dload update tu flash the rom.

i have extracted the rom of the update.app

i have made a special cwm recovery and put it into image folder in pink screen, i have put the ICS boot.img also.

i have boot in cwm,wipe all: factory reset, format system, format HWuserdata, and format dalvik cache also.

i have rebooted the cwm recovery

i have mount system

i have flashed the zip i made

and rebooted the device normaly

[magikstar29]

as i don't have U8680, i haven't tested on it,just tested on my U8730 but i may work better on U8680 than U8730 because the hardware keyboard of U8730 make some problem that U8680 may not have.

if someone with U8680 want to test, i can provide the files.

[surfer43]

I will test it out on U8680 if you will provide the files. Thanks!

[magikstar29]

I will test it out on U8680 if you will provide the files. Thanks!

ok that's done, first post updated

tell us how it works on U8680

I should install from the sd card in cwm, right? When I try to do that, all I get is "Can't mount sd card". I got to the last step and the phone won't turn on even with the old boot.img and recovery.img. 

[magikstar29]

yes install from sdcard in cwm.

i haven't the problem you talked about can't mount sdcard.

try to format sdcard and retry

[surfer43]

how to format sd card when the phone won't boot into Android? CWM can't format or mount the sd card.

[magikstar29]

format with your computer

[surfer43]

yes, but how? the screen is stuck on Android 4G T-mobile booting screen when turned on and none of the phone's files show up on the computer.

[magikstar29]

put out the sdcard of your phone,put it (with adaptater) in sdcard reader of your comuter

[surfer43]

So I installed it, but it is in a boot loop.  . For some reason the recovery kept randomly rebooting.

:  strange, didn't have this problem on U8730.

So maybe the rom isn't compatible with U8680

[surfer43]

YEAH!!!!!!!    My phone is working perfectly under Android 4. Thank you magikstar29.

! The first thing I did differently than when it didn't work was replace all of the default files in "image" folder in download mode (see the top post on http://forum.xda-dev....php?p=44380191) for them. Maybe I needed cust.img. Another possible contribution to making this work was flashing the SuperSU zip from the bottom post on the same page from cwm. After I tried flashing the rom of U8681 again, it started blinking the boot screen every 2 seconds in a loop. So, I put the U8681 boot.img into phone in download mode (I had switched out the boot.img from both phones to see if that would help before). And when completing some other troubleshooting change, the phone randomly booted into Android 4 when I least expected it to.  :

It works perfectly and MUCH better than stock.

Wonderfull, i'm happy to see it works on your U8680

have happy days with it

[SamuraiCX]

thanks so much for this! I will definitely try this as soon as possible!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727

[toquer]

worked!!! I put cust.img back on afterwards as I've modified it but it doesn't fix the keyboard issue nor the autorotate. but I can deal with those for a few weeks while this gets some work done on it. thanks so much for bringing this phone from the dead back into the distant past... google nexus 5 here we come!!

[irx102]

Glad to see that you made use of the u8681 rom that I've provided you.
