[CWM] Recovery for Huawei U8730 (MyTouch Q)

Hello everyone,
I have a stable (but not perfect) CWM Recovery for Huawei U8730 (T-Mobile MyTouch Q by Huawei), no random reboot at all and combo key to boot into recovery.
It might work on Huawei U8680 (Huawei MyTouch).
download link : http://www.mediafire.com/download/5t1odtgo5vwt12p/recovery.img
to install it, boot your device into download mode (pink screen) by pressing "volume up and down + power"
put the recovery.img downloaded before in your image folder to replace your original recovery.img
pull out the battery and replace it
boot your device by pressing "volume up + power" and you must be in recovery mode.
navigate : volume keys
validate : photo key
return : power key
Thanks to mattlgroff for his base and Tomm13b for his help to debug the recovery.
Now it's time to unbrick some device and start to build custom rom
PS : backup option only save system
new version available but still have system mounted and can't be unmounted, wipe work
If someone can take a look,go go

Pardon me for sounding like an idiot, but how do I put the new recovery in that folder? Do I have to use adb or should I have some drive appear on my computer when I plug the phone in via usb? Note that I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and I already have my U8730 rooted. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not. Thanks for the help.

I'm using root browser after booting my device normally. I have found the folder and recovery.img. can I simply replace it by copy and paste since I already have my device rooted?

I believe I've found the issue. When I plug my phone into the computer it lists as an unknown device under usb devices in device manager. I cannot get the drivers to work, thus preventing my computer from accessing the phone. Do you know where I can get the correct drivers.
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------
I've found the drivers from Huawei. I installedthem, even rebooted my computer, yet the phone still appears as an "unknown device" any suggestions? Also, if the recovery becomes damaged when I update it, will the phone be able to boot normally without a recovery? If so, I have a workaround method to change the recovery without using my computer at all.

I hope you guys don't mind a quick question!
Recently, I rooted my 8730. Through the use of titanium backup, I got rid of the Genius Search. I restored it, rebooted the phone and now I'm stuck in a boot loop, where the phone boots up, gets right up to the little android guy flying upwards, then restarts.
First, I tried booting through the use of the power button + volume up, but even though I factory reset my phone, it'd still be stuck on the loop. I tried going the download route, replacing the image and using the CWM recovery in order to factory reset my phone, even going as far as replacing the whole image folder.
Is there anything that I can do?
Thanks a bunch for the patience and help!

So I take this, put it in the root of the SD card, access CWM and choose "Apply update from .zip"? When I do, it says "Finding update package, Opening update package, Installing update, Installation aborted"
Is there anything I can do to get around the abortion?
Also, if I try power + volume up/down to go straight to the software upgrade, it unpacks it fine, but right as it gets to the installation part it fails as well.
Thank you so much for the link, by the way!
Huh, maybe it's because while rooted, I uninstalled a handful of bloatware, like twitter/amazon mp3/genius search and a handful of other things. I backed them up, but unfortunately that doesn't count for much anymore!

Just reporting back here!
I ended up fixing it by using a firmware upgrade 2.3. I took out my SD card, put it into a USB adapter, downloaded the 2.3 firmware (I can't post links, please feel free to send me a message for the link),put the dload folder for that firmware to the root of the SD card, held volume up/down + power button and forced an upgrade.
For those trying to fix the u8730 like me, there's a very specific firmware for it, it wasn't even in the manufacturer site. So again, please feel free to send me a message for it! In case I don't respond, in rapidshare, the title of the firmware is:
.
HUAWEI_U8730_firmare(U8730_Android_2.3_V100R001C85B845_America_TMO_05010TQM).rar

Has anyone figured out how to delete the bloat that's in the /cust dir

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I've tried the methods of flashing droidboot, boot from the stockrom before flashing, and also altering the updater-script before flashing, but nothing works

download stock rom on asus website (check your version)
copy stock rom to adb folder.
reboot to recovery. if you use twrp. go advanced. adb sideload
connect with pc
open cmd in adb folder.
use command "adb sideload romname.zip"
good luck

you forgot to flash system.img," fastboot flash system system.img", after that execute the following commands: “fastboot format userdata” and “fastboot format cache”

I found that if you are on CM and using TWRP, you can flash stock by simply wiping caches and data (not system), installing Prism Barebone, and then installing the stock firmware zip over that. A little time-consuming having to do the two installs, but very simple and you don't need to piss about changing to stock recovery (so you can do it all on-device, no need for hooking up to a PC).

Hi,
I have test the TW stock rom, it's fine that you can't decompression this special zip file.
And I found another way to update this RUU into the Butterfly3.
The system will check the file "0PL2IMG.zip" from ext-SD everytime you boot into download mode(Pow+Vol down), so i change
the stock Rom's name and put it to the root of my EXT SD card, then boot your phone into download mode again, it will show up
some words at the bottom of the screen asking you whether to update the system or not.
Be sure you have done the "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" at recovery mode before you do this.
Enjoy~

I have successfully flashed the TW rom from the original link shared by Gixermouse and mrquyen1993. The zip file does give the error but it is meant to be that way (as mentioned by seaturtleSTO).. However, I was still getting errors when trying to flash it on using power + vol down and then vol up.. I had to change the MID of the phone first to 0PL220000 ("command: fastboot oem writemid 0PL220000" in fastboot mode through cmd). I had to then format my external SD card to match byte size of 4096 (initially it was 32Kbytes) NOTE: IF THIS IS NOT DONE THEN YOU CAN'T COPY THE FILE AS IT IS (IN WINDOWS) AND CANNOT FLASH. THE BYTE SIZE HAS TO BE 4096.
After this I copied the file again to ext SD card and flashed it through power + vol down and then vol up. It worked this time !
After the above I followed the guide provided by mrquyen1993 to install the OTA of Marshmallow 6.0 (https://htchtv31.wordpress.com/2016...hat-android-6-0-1-dai-loan-cho-htc-b3-htv-31/). You have to change the CID of the phone to HTC__621 (fastboot oem writecid HTC__621) to successfully download and install Marshmallow.
Thanks everyone for the help and I hope what I have mentioned above will be helpful to others!
NOTE: I have S-OFF only with no bootloader unlocked, no root and no TWRP installed. This works for stock phones but needs S-OFF I assume.

You don't extract file rom by rar because it was embedded certificates HTC.
You can install using adb or hboot

Hi,
Can I install these ROMs using the TWRP restore function? Or install?

I had to then format my external SD card to match byte size of 4096 (initially it was 32Kbytes) NOTE: IF THIS IS NOT DONE THEN YOU CAN'T COPY THE FILE AS IT IS (IN WINDOWS) AND CANNOT FLASH. THE BYTE SIZE HAS TO BE 4096.
After this I copied the file again to ext SD card and flashed it through power + vol down and then vol up. It worked this time !
After the above I followed the guide provided by mrquyen1993 to install the OTA of Marshmallow 6.0 (https://htchtv31.wordpress.com/2016...hat-android-6-0-1-dai-loan-cho-htc-b3-htv-31/). You have to change the CID of the phone to HTC__621 (fastboot oem writecid HTC__621) to successfully download and install Marshmallow.
Thanks everyone for the help and I hope what I have mentioned above will be helpful to others!
NOTE: I have S-OFF only with no bootloader unlocked, no root and no TWRP installed. This works for stock phones but needs S-OFF I assume.

I think this only happened because you went from a KDDI ROM to a Taiwan one (which wouldn't work with the wrong CID).
I went from an older KDDI ROM to this one and I didn't need to do anything but the confirmation after download mode.
As for the SD Card, I didn't need to do anything either. I had it formated in exFAT and it just worked.

Have you checked your Google account on a PC or other device ? check all is well there first

Lol flash twrp and install any rom.

if you are ok with losing all your data you can use a RUU to restore the system from your current state.
1. download this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24671318762849095
2. rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip
3. put it on your SD card and put it in your phone.
4. boot into download mode, it will recognise the zip and begin the ruu process.
5. once it's finished it will reboot; it might take a little longer than usual to boot but just wait about 5min or so.
done.
at a guess i'd say that if it doesn't work or it happens again then your board is probably cooked and you should start looking for a new phone...

also when booting into stock recovery the red exclamation mark screen is normal; what you have to do is hold down the power button and press vol up and the recovery menu should appear.

Are you sure this is the proper RUU for him? First of all, that RUU is super old. Probably too old for the OP to use unless he's S-Off (you can't go backwards with firmware while S-On)
Second of all, you don't even know which model he has. That RUU is for WWE/European. It won't work on US Unlocked/Sprint/Verizon/o2/T-mo etc...... but ONLY on a WWE branded device. You need matching MID and CID for the RUUs to work.
@Markieboy don't use that RUU. Boot to download mode and post here what it says next to "OS" and I or someone else can provide you with the appropriate one to use (although I'm not sure if it will work in this case).
Try this: If you can boot to download mode, you should be able to flash TWRP via fastboot (your bootloader is unlocked, correct?).
Then boot to TWRP > advanced > file manager then navigate to /data/system/ and delete the locksettings.db file. This will disable your lockscreen PIN/password.

Hi no unfortunately the phone is bog standard I haven't unlocked the bootloader or anything. It's a non branded wwe firmware version....

i'd say pay for the s-off, there's no other way to fix your phone. but i still think your board is cooked.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. This is the RUU.zip you should use. You can follow the instructions a few posts back, just use this download instead of the one linked.

The question is, what were doing on that phone to cook all these? Mining Bitcoin?
