make sure you have the reuqired drivers installed, just see youtube tutorials, you will get an idea on in this A1 forum, hit thanks if i helped you

I have the exact same problems and i tried using diffrent sd cards but its no use. I know lollipop will fix this issue because google said its bringing back support for sd cards in android 5. Till then i dont know how i can fix this issue. Btw i am on ART runtime . is that causing this problem or will flashing another stock rom work ? Please help.

SD Card Issue
My friend had the same issue with his A1, and I being his "go to guy", I did factory reset, factory reset from recovery mode, installed stock rom again but none of this worked. Finally, i replaced his SD card with mine and tried to click a photo and voila it worked. So morale of the story, buy a new SD card.

do u have cwm on ur phone? reboot ur phone into recovery then choose advance and choose fix permission, wait until finish, then reboot ur phone after it finish
Unfortunately I have the same problem. My camera does not work anymore. I just receive the message "Camera failed". I still have the stock rom installed and I did not modify too much (I just installed some apps). I have already reset the phone to factory settings which did not solve my problem. Does anybody have an idea what I could try to fix the problem?
Please help...
I just have formatted my device and flashed it with a stock rom. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem with the camera. I still got the error message "camera failed" when I click on the camera app. Any ideas? Is it a hardware problem? Should I flash a custom rom?
I got that message once, and I panicked. Fortunately, rebooting did it just fine.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the firmware...I searched the net and found this article, maybe useful, IDK.
Thanks for the reply and for the link. Unfortunately I do not understand step 3. When I scroll to "Camera" I do not see a 2nd option which should be named as "user". I just see "camera" and "camcorder". What should I do? Do I have to root the phone?
ok, I have rooted my phone and I have tried the fix described in the link above again. However, I was not successfull. I do not get these options described in the link ("user"). Maybe I am using a wrong version of Pro Launcher. I just downloaded the new version from market...Anyone with a suggestion/idea?
Camera failed
I used to face this problem quite a lot when i was using the stock rom, but after flashing to cow's rom, the problem went away, no more camera failed anymore
Yesterday after upgrade to baseband v. i8150dxlc1 Kernel [email protected]#3 (KIES UPGRADE) i dont have that problem anymore

How to downgrade from B114 to B111?

Guys.
Recently installed the B114 leak and have found a massive wake lock bug meaning my device is never sleeping even when in standby. I want to downgrade to B111 without wiping /userdata.
When I try and complete the downgrade via 'local upgrade' I get the error that there is no upgrade file found.
Does this mean I have to flash this via the recovery?
Wait - I had 2 dload folders. 1 inside the other so that's probably the reason for the error.
Will report back.
It still needs so much to do.. usb debugging doesnt stay enabled.. wi fi is constantly getting off .. even when is connected..
it is still laggy i cannot register for huawei cloud backup
Downgrade from B114 to B111 worked fine at mine
yeah just replace file in dload ...
yup just replace the file in the dload folder with the official B111. Actually i've just downgraded the other day, no need to factory reset, although! its advisable to have a factory reset everytime u flash a rom

No need for any step two, just download the official firmware from huawei B111 and just do a single local upgrade action :highfive:

It seems that the problem was the SC card I was using. Card wich doesnt work is FAT32 and where the update worked is FAT.
Sooo, I hope this helps if someone is formatting their SD card - !! REMEMBER TO CHOOSE FAT OPTION INSTEAD OF FAT32 !!
OK, tried to update via SD card again, well... "Huawei SD card update failed... FAIL". So, FAT or FAT32 doesnt matter. There is something else wrong, I just dont know what.
wh everyhing fails on u guys? i just tried all 3 diff roms flashed reflashed downgraded .. all works..

Mention the steps you do in updating it, so guys here can see if you left out anything. Also just try switching to some other memory card you have. Im just using an old 4 GB memory card of the brand "Kingstone" that was around and it works perfectly fine. In the pdf file regarding update steps, it does mention the following: The MICRO SD card made by Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax is recommended.

usb device not recognized

Hey ,
the problem is caused after i upgraded from lollipop v21a(TWN) to marshmallow hongkong using LGUP , well now i have a phone with no wifi or signal or any kind of network and what is even worse is that I can't connect it to computer .. the computer wont recognize it no matter what i do , i tried changing cables , reinstalling the drivers , and trying in download mode ... well so far none helped.
anyone familiar with this problem ? is there a solution or i just destroyed my phone beyond repair :/ ? oh and if it matters the phone does charge when connected to computer
any help would be appreciated , thanks in advance.
***short version i flashed a d858 rom in to a d855 phone and now the pc cant recognize the phone even in download mode , any idea what shall i do ? ***
any idea any one please ? :crying:
It's odd that it won't even charge from the PC. Did you try charging it from just a simple wall charger to see if it would work? Or try a different PC?

DOES! D'oh.
Well, first thing I'd check is the USB configuration. Go to settings, developer options, Select USB Configuration. See if for some reason it's stuck on Charging Only. Unfortunately, I don't think that will help, but might as well try.
Other than that, maybe you have an microSD Card lying around that you could load with a new ROM and associated bootstack and reload the ROM from there?

i will try that , but is it possible to do that without root ? I'm not very positive that it would read the sd card though but it is worth a shot .. but how exactly to do that
how can i flash a rom without a twrp or root ?
(if there is way to do so) can you tell me which bootstack i need to flash for kitkat (4.4.2) and which to lolipop 5.0 , or a link to download would be even better since i can't seem to find them

Again , please HELP , i'm facing a huge issue , horrible lagging !

hi ,
the other day my phone froze and after the reboot i got the miui welcome screen , like when you do a factory reset , all the apps were deleted .
i tried to install the apps again , then it's started to lag , like massive lagging , booting now takes waay too long , unlocking lags so much , everything is lagging eventhe settings .
flashed a stock rom again , still the same , now i flashed LineageOs , it took forever to boot , but again , it lags a lot .
please help ? anything should i do ? or what's the issue here ?
Edit : i still don't know how , but somehow i managed to fix this thanks to @bugmen a true legend <3 ....
the fix is : keep restarting the device too many times ... for me i have the bootloader unlocked .. so the time between the migi logo and the word unlocked that comes under it was obviously long ... after few restarts 5 or 6 lel ... i stopped when i noticed that the word "unlocked" appeared faster than ususal .... and that's it lol ... the phone is working fine for now ...

This really sounds like a hardware issue.
Make sure if you modded the software to go back to stock and return it.
It shouldn't lag that much since it really has a good Cpu and gpu pairing.
