Hello,
Sorry for my bad English ^^
I search a ROM for the operator Proximus in Belgium. If someone know who find a official ROM ? :laugh:
Thanks a lot,
Aireil
Are you looking for a ROM for a phone you bought from Proximus, or are you really looking for a ROM modified by Proximus? If so, I didn't even know they did that... I've certainly never bumped into one, I'd doubt providers would make them publicly available :/
However, if you're just looking for a ROM for a phone you bought from Proximus but is essentially just an i9000 (or variant) then just look in the development sections for a ROM that suits your needs. Usually the phone + SIM 'deals' in Belgium are just a regular phone plus a crappy service

Unfortunately, i search a ROM by Proximus. The operator have his own ROM, like Orange in France. And this ROM have some application for Proximus
Yuck
There's probably nothing you can find in that case. If you currently have their ROM on your phone and there's no update made available to you it's highly unlikely Proximus would ever do any effort to provide updates... Is there any specific reason why you are looking for this ROM if you already have it on your phone?
Ho no, i don't have it on my phone. I need it for an application Proximus include in the ROM ^^
How could you ever want... more bloatware?!
Anyway, I found a couple of things you may find interesting. Firstly, if you're lucky the application you're looking for may be available from Google play, Belgacom has a couple of apps on there => https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Belgacom
Also, I found a topic on another site (in French, but since you're from Belgium too that shouldn't be a problem), which is here http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/55453-rom-originale-proximus-belgique/, where somebody has pretty much the exact same problem. You could always try that
Thanks for you're help, i saw the post on FrAndroid before come here, but i can't run CheckFus. :crying:
Yes, it's this app but i need an official ROM for it's work ^^

Hello xdadevelopers,
I have a problem. Recently I had a birthday and my friend, who lives and works in Shanghai had presented me a phone. It's Huawei w1. But there is one catastrophic problem. Since he bought the phone in China, it has chinese firmware. And the worst thing - chinese market. It doesn't have such vital applications like skype or youtube. I have tried to contact microsoft. Unfortunately, they cannot help me. Here is what they said (conversation was in russian, this is my translation):
===
MS: Ok, this means that you have chinese firmware. It's not possible to workaround it with standard methods. You need to reflash the phone with russian firmware (I believe this should not be exactly russian but any non-chinese)
MS: We cannot give you steps of how you can do this, since this will break you warranty. But you can find steps in Internet.
me: Well, but in fact I don't have warranty. The phone was bought in different country, not by me, and my friend, who bought the phone, doesn't visit fatherland more often than once a year
MS: Ok, I understand, but we are not allowed to provide such info and such sites are blocked for us. We are not trained for such kind of support. You can ask on forums:
MS: http://answers.microsoft.com/ru-ru/winphone/forum/wp8
MS: or
MS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1625
MS: or you can ask Huawei support.
===
I asked on MS forum, but I doubt they have answer. I also tried to find Huawei support contacts but was unable to do so. Any link that looks like contact info leads to chinese page.
So this forum is my last hope. Please please please. I believe this forum is full of guru. Please suggest me where to find normal firmware for Huawei w1? Where to find instructions?
Phone info:
OS version: 8.0.10211.204
Firmware revision number: 1030.5612.01700.05600
Hardware revision number: HD1U8835M Ver.B
Chip SOC Version: 8230
Thank you.
If there's a device-specific forum for the phone, check there. However, I can't find one, so you may need to be patient until anybody else with the W1 gets around to answering you.
You can also check with Huawei themselves, of course. Try calling them or emailing them; the most likely source of stock firmware will be Huawei themselves.
I've managed to find this article but it's on some foreign language.If you want use Google to translate the page and see if it has something useful.

It is in Myanmar and google cannot translate it. But thanks. I've downloaded file provided on that page. It's archive with some rom and tool that allows to flash this rom. It also has instruction for that tool in english (with the same screenshots as on djtonka's forum). Unfortunately it doesn't have instruction of how to connect phone and how to install drivers, etc.

This guide would be very helpful.
And what about ROMs? Do you know where to get non-chinese one? (Who needs chinese with emasculated market actually?)

i think Non-chinese one would need to be took from Huawei themself, since nobody do homebrew rom for this phone AFAIK
they actually make one for 1 telco provider in my country..., but AFAIK, it's for CDMA W1 version... well, it's for the world phone version actually, but the GSM network is locked for EDGE data connectivity only...

Here is international[1] ROM: http: //yadi.sk/d/o1FGP0W15Rl0K
And instruction in Russian: http: //4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=411852&view=findpost&p=22443881

I'm not sure what is source of this one and if we can call it international. Some say it is "China UNICON"... Anyway, it allows to select from many languages, (not only CN & EN), it allows to install any app from market (including Skype, FB, etc.).
Though it have some limitations comparing to Chinese ROM that I had originaly. For example it doesn't allow to share Wi-Fi

Hi, I do not know if I should post there, as I cannot speak Polish.
I am in the US and the ROM you have 1030.5610.22500.05420 that is for the USA, only works with our 2G (EDGE) networks here and not 3G (HSPA/HSPA+/UMTS) for some reason, and has some bugs.
Is it possible to get one of the Western European ROMs? Here in the US, only one prepaid carrier, Straight Talk, offers this device, so I am not sure where this USA ROM came from.
But I would like to try either one of these...as I assume they are also unlocked?
W1-U00_1030.5612.00000.05610_Western_Europe.05011L
W1-U00_1030.5614.00000.06030_Western_Europe.05011L
...can you please upload them? Thanks. :laugh:

I'd like to try one of those ROMs too. I'm using the US ROM in Europe, and am having major signal problems. Hoping this would resolve them.
I uploaded what you requested before.

You have any sources for european GDR2 Rom for the W1?
There is no GDR2 yet.
Hallo!
I have some problem with phone now.
When i try to flash bootloader, and on a step when pop-up promt for formating, i'am clicking Ok.
After this phone is not Powering On, Just vibrating.
Bootloader still flashing, but after phone is not loading iWare uniBIOS FFU Application. Phone just light on black screen.
So, i can not continue flashing firmware, because the phone is not recognazing like UEFI USB SimpleI/O Port.
And now, when make procedure from start is not pop-up screen with promt for formating, and system don't show any disk on system.
Maybe somebody have the files from disk of HUAWEI? So please give me it, i'll try to write it to my phne, maybe it help me.
Or anybody maybe have some idea, how i can repair it.
Thank you!
If there would be once a GDR2 (Amber) Update für the Huawei Ascend W1, will it also active an FM radio like on the devices of Nokia and HTC?
you can switch to US to install SKYPE & YouTube
see title, i have installed SKYPE by this way
Hello,
I tried to find an answer to the following question, however didn't find it yet:
I purchased a simlock free XT890 via e-bay (XT890 is not sold in the Netherlands). The device has French Vodafone firmware installed, after upgrading OTA it now has 91.2.26001.XT890.Vodafone.en.FR. I use it in combination with the Dutch carrier Simyo on the KPN network.
My question is if it is worthwhile to install the retail firmware (Blur_Version.91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU). Will it bring any advantages in use or in getting future firmware upgrades?
Regards,
Ronald

Quick answer, No.
Longer answer, we can't say if it will bring an advantage or not. It will depend on how Motorola is going to release the 4.4 update, but that's up to them and at this time completely unclear.
So I just recently picked up the US unlocked version of the XZ1C at my local Best buy. I've been reading the tutorials on how to flash the firmware and I was hoping for screenshots of the process on how to flash the Customized UK firmware over using Newflasher. I am not too familiar with Newflasher, so please can someone upload screen shots step-by-step to help me!
-I just finished downloading the UK Firmware:
G8441_Customized UK_1310-6856_47.1.A.2.374_R12B
and the US Firmware:
G8441_Customized US_1310-4371_47.1.A.2.324_R8B
I have Newflasher v10 installed already as well. I've been reading about the different type of fines to add and delete, but do not understand how to use Newflasher.
****12/11/2017
Update:
So after a good week or so of researching and trying to crack the fingerprint scanner. I was able to successfully flash the UK firmware over into my Xz1 Compact. I was able to successfully activate it back in the late weeks of November. I was extremely nervous about the process because I have never used Newflasher and was scared of bricking my device, but the process was fairly simple, easy and worked! Once I get back home after work, I will see if I can post some snapshots of how I flashed the firmware over to help everyone out! Thank you everyone for all your help!! In return, I will upload those screenshots!

I'm about to pick one of these up at Best Buy this afternoon for $358 open box and would love to know where you downloaded those firmware files! I'd also like more info on the newsflash app. Everyone I've seen on here that knows anything about it says to look at the OP for the XZ Premium. Even though that phone is in the same family, the files are different and a step by step for the XZ1 Compact would be awesome!

I have a related question. I'm in the US and want to flash another region's firmware to get a working fingerprint scanner on 47.1.A.5.51. My carrier does not support VOLTE or Wifi calling, so I don't need to flash parts of the US firmware. Is there a particular one I should be flashing? I saw in another thread that people were flashing at least parts of the Austrian T-mobile firmware. Would it be reasonable just to flash that for use in the US, or will I have a problem? Would it be better to flash UK Customized and wait for the update?

Got XZ1 Compact from Best Buy. LOVE IT! Want fingerprint sensor; just ordered UK version from Clove in England. Anyone else done this? Delivery time? Phone works well in US? Anything I should know?
Sony CSR said phone will work same as US version, plus fingerprint sensor; said it's worth it. Thanks!

***It is fairly common for people to flash over the UK Customized Firmware over. Once you do that, the default language and region will be UK and there are some UK bloatware installed, but you can always disable them and uninstall them.

Thanks! I ended up copying the US OEM file anyway in case I ever decide to switch carriers, but I appreciate the reply.
Hi is it possible to flash an S10 Exynos from the Vodafone branded firmware to the plain unbranded firmware?
If so is anybody able to point me in the right direction for a guide to doing so? The phone is already network unlocked, I just want to get updates at the same time as everyone else, at the moment I'm still on the July security patch for example.
I've searched through a lot of results but am really struggling since the words 'unlock', 'firmware', 'flash', 'stock' etc come up in so many threads.
