The Firmware is 1.5 and the software version is 1.0.0.A6288.
If it is possible do I use the unlockr method of doing it? And also what rom update would you guys recommend?
Many thanks
Tony.

When you say root do you mean so you can add other ROMs or do you mean so you can add/remove system files?
More information would be handy go to settings > about > software version and post
Firmware version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number, Software number and Browser version.
ok.
Firmware 1.5
Baseband version 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernal version 2.6.27-430d1aea
[email protected] #983
Build number 2.73.771.73 CL#94055 release-keys
Software version 1.0.0.A6288
I want to be able to install custom roms and add/remove system files etc.

There is my newbie guide in my sig or there is a "1 click method" being discussed in a topic in the dev forum which you might want to look at.

Well first of all your going to need a recovery ROM onto your hero to allow you to install custom ROMS. Some ROMS come with ROOT, Some Don't.
Because you have build 2.73.771.73 you will need to first install the flashrec application and then download a recovery ROM and use flashrec to load it onto your phone. The recovery ROM is the gateway to unlocking your device for maximum potential.

Thanks for your reply,I will try that.
Sorry,but if I do the above procedure using the MODACOPATCHEDRECOVERY 1.0 rom will this mean my hero is then rooted?
Thanks

I have no knowledge of this ROM, but what you can do is ask from where you got it from.

How to tell what android OS I have?

How do I tell what version of android I have? I just see kernel and firmware version in the status
Go to Settings -> About Phone.
If you see "2.1-update1" under Firmware version, then you have Android 2.1. If not, you are still under Android 1.6.
Or 2.2.1 in my case

[Q] Nokia Collection not found

Hi everyone,
Just got a Nokia Lumia 800 and I am not able to find the Nokia collection tab in the Marketplace.
I already have the Nokia drive (1.0) app installed, but can't seem to update it either. The marketplace finds the update, but says this app is not available on your phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try to create new LIVE account and set it to your country. You should see the Nokia collection.
Or you can allways refurbish your phone to another firmrware and see if that changes anything. You can find tutorial here for example:

Might be a silly question..but still,
Will this reset my OS to the version that is bundled with the firmware?
You will choose what firmware version you want to flash.
You can downgrade, upgrade (if newer firmware is available) or just reflash the same version. Look at the tutorial, you will understand it.
You will loose all the data in phone, so backup what you need first.
I was talking about the Mango OS. Does the firmware package include the OS updates as well?
Sorry, my bad.
Phone's firmware do not include OS updates. Changing firmware won't change OS version in your phone.

Does the 2GB USA version suffer lag too?

As the title goes, do the 2GB RAM version have the screen re-draw and other system wide lag like the 1GB version?
screen re-draw has been fix from the latest firmware ALF6, RAM is not the issue of the re-draws
Has ALF6 been officially released yet? Is it a worldwide firmware?
I'm unbranded in the UK. I'm on ALF2 with no update available.
Well I'm using Omega 6.0 which has the ALF6 firmware. You can just flash the Latest Official stock firmware which ALF6 here (if you don't want any custom rom):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610&highlight=official+stock
@bordikun
Could you please tell me what are the improvements of the new Software update? Thanks
Can't really tell what exactly change/improved, don't know where to look for "changelog" but the main thing is that the re-draws are gone 99%. did not experience it since using ALF6
@bordikun - Thanks kabayan, I would like also to ask if you encounter the copy/paste crashing after updating to latest firmware?

Mine is 7D-501u. Flashing B017 is not a problem. When you reboot, it will ask you what language you want to use. I do not see a language listed for Egypt, but there are English/Spanish/French/Italian/Deutsch/Portugue, and Chinese.
I would like to suggest that you download from the official Huawei website:
http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=21804
It is in Chinese but you will find the download symbol/link on the right side. Extract the zip file, and put the files on an SD card, reboot the phone and you are good to go.
You can downgrade following the same procedure, as long as you have the firmware files on the SD card. Make sure you make a copy of your current/original firmware.
first of all thank you wxppro
second could you please send screen shot, especially can the navigation bar be hidden or auto hide???
at last how could take a copy of my original firmware??

The navigation bar can be hidden or unhidden by swiping from the bottom.
The easiest thing for you to do seems to be (1) find out the current version of your current firmware through Settings --> Updates --> System Updates, and then (2) search the Internet to find and download the firmware.

I was wondering if you could check if the Permission Manager is included in this firmware? It should be part of the Phone Manager app.
Unfortunately it is missing from the International one (B003).
Thanks in advance.
You can download 4.4.2 with emotion UI 2.3 at www.emui.com
for 7D-501u
for 7D-503L

That ROM link is just a mirror of the official rom from Huawei. Newest ROM for 501U is B007, Yes, the number went from B017 to B007, but B007 is newer.

Although it's B007 instead of B017, it's R002 instead of R001 - that's how you know it's newer. The B numbers reset when the R number goes up.
However I would warn against the B007 ROM, because it changes the dpi from 320 to 400 which ruins the UI.
