How to - Restore stock Firmware on Huawei Ascend G300 U8818
Huawei G300 U8818 Firmware
WARNING - This will completely reset your phone and erase all data, custom rom and any custom recovery partition you have installed such as ClockWorkMod and replace it with Huawei Stock recovery etc. It will also remove any rooting on the phone and restore it to its unrooted state.
Step 1 - BACKUP everything
on your phone.
Step 2 - Download the stock
firmware
- U8818 V100R001C17B890 (China Unicom)
- U8818 V100R001C17B892(China Unicom)
- Ascend G300-U8818 (Android 4.0) V100R001C17B926(China Unicom)
(These are the only ones I have available at the moment
so you might need to pick the closest match for yours)
* - This may or may not be the correct country, I've
had to guess with some of the firmwares so if not it will probably be
close or a general/normal version.
Step 3 - Open the downloaded .zip file in WinRAR
or other archive manager.

themes etc.

Huawei U9200 AKA Ascend P1
This method only works on firmware versions up to B110, if you have firmware versions B113 or B115 then head over here -
How to – Root Huawei Ascend P1 – U9200 B113 and B115
and
How to – Install Recovery on Huawei Ascend P1 – U9200 B113 and B115
Step 1 – Download Onekey_ROM_Ascendp1 Installer here and extract to your hard drives root (May not be necessary but in my experience can prevent problems).
(Please note this tool is not my work. All credit goes to Genokolar who is a brilliant Chinese developer)
Step 2 – Make sure you have the correct drivers for your handset installed, you can get them here if needed – Huawei USB Drivers
Step 3 – Enable USB Debugging, Settings>Developers Options
Step 4 – Run Onekey_ROM_Ascendp1.exe and press any key.
English Translation by me 
Step 5 – Next select Option 1 or 2.
Option 1 – Flashes and wipes all the user data
Option 2 – Flashes without wiping the user data which can cause problems such as freezing and boot loops.
And English
(If your
phone isn’t connected properly, the correct drivers are not installed or
USB debugging is not switched on. You will see this screen)
Step 6 – Wait while the recovery image is installed, pressing any key when prompted.
Step 7 – Once the program has finished flashing your phone, you will see the screen below. Now use the recovery menu to flash update.zip from the SD Card and it will flash a rooted version of U9200 V100R001CHNC00B109 (Android 4.0)
Step 8 – Now you will need to flash gapps ICS pack from here or my mirror here, if you want to use Google Play.
Step 9 – Optionally there is a rooted version of U9200-1V100R001CHNC00B113 by lesong
Note: You will need to reflash the gapps package if you upgrade to this rom.
Also Note:
The recovery flashed with this is in Chinese, its ClockworkMod based so
should be easy enough to navigate around until an English language one
is available.
Enjoy

How to – Install Recovery on Huawei Ascend P1 – U9200 B113 and B115
Huawei U9200 AKA Ascend P1
Try this at your own risk, I am NOT responsible if you brick your phone.
This is mainly for Huawei Ascend P1 U9200 with B113 or B115 firmware but will work on any version with the right recovery image
Step 1 – Download Android Control here (mirror) or here (XDA thread) and extract to a folder on your hard drive root (eg. c:\AndroidControl)Step 2 – Download one of these Recovery images -
recovery-new.img (the one included in Onekey)
or
recovery-off.img (the one that Onekey is based on)
or
cwm_touch_recovery_viva_beta.img (A new one which is in English
Note: As far as I know, the first two are both Chinese language but based on ClockWorkMod so should be easy enough to navigate around, the last one is a beta but is in English and uses the touchcreen to navigate rather than the volume and power keys
Step 3 – Put whichever image you choose into the AndroidControl folder ready to be flashed over.
Step 4 – Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone and then switch it off. Hold volume down and power key (I think lol) to boot into download mode (phone should boot to logo and then stop) then plug it into your PC.
Step 5 – Open a command prompt and navigate to your Android Control folder, run the following command depending which one you chose.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-new.img
or
fastboot flash recovery recovery-off.img
or
fastboot flash recovery cwm_touch_recovery_viva_beta.img
Step 6 - Once finished type – ‘fastboot reboot’ to reboot your phone.
Step 7 – Turn off your phone once rebooted and then hold the volume up and power keys to boot into recovery.

Root HTC explorer
I decided to create a clean tutorial (as the method started with several
bugs and issues) for those who want to root their HTC explorer.
will be editing it as new improvements appear.
btw, this will NOT change anything in your phone, it just make root access possible, if you want overclock and ext-2/3/4 partitions posible look here once you finish rooting with this tutorial.
1. Install HTC Sync on your PC
you can download it from: www.htc.com/www/help/htc-explorer/#download
(needed so computer recognises commands)
2. Unlock your phone's bootloader
- Following the steps in www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Note: HTC Explorer isn´t listed as a working device yet but it has been tested and works perfectly. Choose "all other supported models" when selecting device.
3. Add a recovery
That will allow you to install .zip ROMs. You can access to it in the menu android phones have when booting the phone after removing-inserting the battery and pressing "volume down" and "power" buttons simultaneously. (Other phones have different button combinations).
- Download A310E Recovery.zip
- extract it in any window on your PC (ie: C:\HTC)
- run the recovery.bat with phone in fastboot mode (first option in the "3 android menu" ) and connected with usb.
Note: I edited the recovery.bat and removed any unnecessary commands so no errors occur
Done! You got the recovery installed if no errors, you can now install any compatible .zip ROM or app.
4. ROOT the device
- Place this Superuser.zip file somewhere in the microSD first.
- Go into Recovery mode ("volume down" + "power")
- install Superuser.zip with the option "install .zip from sd" from the recovery menu.
ROOTED !!
once rooted my advice is to install "link2sd". Excellent application after making a fat32 partition of your SD with programs like MiniTool partition wizard
It moves all applications directly to the SD when configuring it in automatic mode. (the entire application, not like the inbuilt phone option). See post # 9 for instructions.

Note: after rooting dont restore to factory setting if
you don´t want to end up in a bootloop, if this or similar happens the
only solution yet (fully functional) is installing this Asian rom or this Custom rom by me. Make a backup first and wipe cache and rom partition with the option in the recovery menu. With the Asian rom everything runs perfect with the disadvantage that only English and Chinese is available. You can modify the applications that come with it by removing and adding the ones you want before flashing it in recovery (open /system/app folder inside the zip and modify the system apps installed, just be careful not to eliminate necessary system apps). |
