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

[1]
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
I made video tutorial how to flash:

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
Hi everyone.
I have an LG P880 (LG 4X HD) that I bought in Peru, it came with Android 4.0.3 I (V10b). I want to upgrade to JB to unlock the bootloader but in the list of official updates my country is not listed.
Someone told me that it can be an issue with the frequencies, Peru uses 850Mhz/1900Mhz bands like American countries but many other countries (including those of the official update list) use 900Mhz/1800Mhz.
My question is: There would be any problem if I upgrade using the file from another country?
My phone is rooted
Thanks to all comments.

Does this firmware also contain Italian? how can I use it on a branded LG V40?
Can these firmware be flashed on the HK LG V40?
This one is also a LMV405EBW model.
Is it possible to flash LMV405EBW onto a Korean (LM-409N)? I bought a korean version because LG didn't initially release the V40 in the UK, but now that they have, it would be great to get the European firmware running on mine. Even though system language is set to English on my Korean handset, a few menu items come up in Korean as do all OTA updates!
I tried using LGUP v0.0.1.18. My phone is recognised by LGUP, but when I try to flash the EBW KDZ I get an "error Invalid KDZ" message. From what I've gathered since, the V40 needs LGUP v1.16 which I can't seem to find anywhere. Has anyone else had any luck with the V40, LGup and stock firmware?
I follow the 3d
hello all, Is it possible to flash LM-V405EBW.HKG (hong kong) to the US version ?

Is it possible to flash a stock firmware yet on LG v40?
I got a Hong Kong variant unknowingly of v40 and could do with installing GBR open firmware.
LG V40 LMV405EBW HKG to DEC
Hello, is possible flash on my device LG V40 LMV405EBW HKG (Hong Kong region) stock rom for Europe the best DEC (Denmark/Germany) version that should include the czech language? What version of LGUP and dll file i need?
Thx
I dont know why LG release firmwares when nobody is able to flash!!
Can't flash lg v405ebw
Guys, how do you flash the v40 if the lgUP is still not support the v40. I tried the 1.14 version can't detect it. Try the 1.15 version, i need to log in which I don't have the account. Try to flash it via lg flashtool, have difficulty to find dll for lg v40. Would really appreciate if there is someone who can create a forum to tell how to flash lg v40 with a supported tool for a newbie like me. Thanks in advance:good:
Unfortunately there’s no way to flash the V40 currently..there’s No working LGUP for it as yet..
Your better off waiting for pie OTA and go from there..
Guys, did someone received pie update for eu model?

Hi, I have a LMV405UA. It is not carrier branded and the 8.1 stock it has right now has no bloatware in it. Which would be the best ROM to flash to update to Pie? (update check says I have the latest)
Hi, I'm currently having an LG V40 AT&T LM-V405UA, with AT&T bloatware on it. How do I know if it's unlocked or not, I can use my SIM card from other carrier with no problem. Also, how can I unlock the bootloader if there is no fastboot available on my device? If I were to use LGUP, which one of the firmware file should I use?
Been a minute updated OP added 20e kdz for the QA Us model

thanks for the advice, but I don’t need the firmware itself, but I need these files from the European version of lg v40 (I have a sprint version, but since I live in europe, aggregation does not work on the sprint version. in order for the aggregation to work, these files are needed )Thank you
