1. hi i downloaded dload.zip.when i extracted that,it is file corrupt.please tell me what can i do.i already downloaded that file 100%

2. Bonjour, je dispose d’un Huawei Honor en version française. J’ai migré vers Android 4.0.3 tout simplement en répondant positivement à une proposition de mise à niveau de ce dernier.
   Apparemment tout s’est bien passé ; après reconfiguration nécessaire des paramètre, tout fonctionne comme avant.
   Remarque : l’outil de suivi des consommation de 3G et WIFI est moins pratique que dans la version 3 et je n’ai pas retrouvé l’outil “gestion des tâches”
   cordialement

   • Will this update supported multi languages? I need the Dutch language for my daughter. Or is this version only the Chinese/english language?

3. Bonjour, j’ai actualisé mon Huawei Honor d’android 3 français vers 4.0.3 française en répondant positivement à une proposition affichée sur le téléphon (près de 380Mo et 45mn)
   Une fois fait et après reconfiguration des paramètres perso, tout fonctionne comme avant avec une présentation un peu différente.
   Remarque: le compteur de consommation 3G et Wifi est moins pratique qu’avant et je n’ai pas retrouvé le “gestionnaire de tâches”

   avez-vous une solution ?

5. i have u8860 i update the device running very good but give aproblem the video recording is not working when i open the camera and click the record button it not work help me please

6. Thank your very much for this useful article and your shared file. This update works out perfectly:), and it just solved the problem that had been holding me up for days.

   Mine is a u8860 Chinese mobile. At first my system version was 2.3.6, on which software like google play store is not installed, and cannot even be installed and run correctly manually. Moreover, the Chinese version system cannot be updated to other version released on the Huawei official site. It took me many hours searching for solutions, and at last I found a package which can update the system to 4.0.3(Chinese) via “recovery” tool. However, the stupid Chinese version cannot get full access to the popular softwares around the world, and google play still doesn’t work.

   This version that you put here seems to be working out just fine. I feel so lucky to have read this site.

7. Hello and thank you for an excellent guide! I would like to know if there’s a way to get more languages? As of now, this update have only the most used languages like english, spanish, italian, french, chinese. I would like norwegian since I’m from Norway. What do you think? Thanks!

   • You are most welcome! I’m glad you were able to update perfectly without any problems! It depends on Huawei if they want to release an update with Norwegian language or not. When it gets available, you will be the first to know! 🙂

   • Hi, just wanted to let you know that Huawei released the norwegian ICS yesterday :

8. hi , i download & install this firmware.all future is good . But i have a problem. wifi is not connected.why?. please . reply me.
   thank you very much.

   • How is wifi not connected? WiFi feature does not even start in the phone?

9. Hi guys,

   Thanks for the update it works really fine.
   1 question form my side, can i remove the files from the sd card after the update?
   before the update i had 3 different storage lines in the hi suite, internal, internal sd and external sd. Afterwards i only have the internal sd(where the dload files are still on) and the external SD. the files are 600mb of storage now on the internal sd card and i was wondering if i can just delete these files.

   Thanks a million!

   • You can delete the dload files now so that you don’t accidentally again install the firmware update.

10. Hi There,

13. Does this solve the problem of my phone not being able to connect to the wifi?

14. I did everything that is on the blog and the result has been that it does not recognize local operators and the only one that recognizes only what I can use on 2G or 3G because it allows much less 4G.
    I need help urgently to solve the problem

22. Hey,

    Thanks for that update but i am still wondering does the update install on phone memory or sd card??

23. Heyy,when I was down south for the summer my boyfriend gave me his huawei honor phone from Germany. He reset it and gave it to me. It worked perfectly fine. Then I moved back to new york and my phone got updated to the 4.0.3 also known as the ice cream sandwich firmware.Ever since then I can’t connect to the internet unless I have Wi-Fi. It says I need go check my data connection. I don’t understand what went wrong someone please help me.

    • this might be due to network lock, here in my country i have U8860 locked so when i did try other sim, it asked for unlock code i ignored it, then still it works but xcluding the features of SIM

24. Hello, updated my 8860 with 4.03 ICS -everything works fine apart from a massive battery-drainage. Some googling shows that this a known problem with this version. Is there a fix for this annoying behavior ?

25. Hi! I updated my Honor to ICS using the Norwegian version in Huawei site it updated fine but the problem is my FM Radio was gone. Any workaround on this? I also tried the other version Finland, and it also has the same issue.

    • fm radio 5.2.27 Search in Aptoide

26. yes i am having the same problem
    i downloaded the file completely but cannot extract it as it said it was corrupt!
    i use google chrome, is there anything wrong with the file or the browser?

27. I got a message on the phone and the update worked. But I’m experiencing a massive change in battery capacity. The battery is drained really fast. If this is how 4.0.3 works, it’s absolutely ridiculous.

28. sd_update.log – Failure: OSBL°ж±ѕЖҐЕдК§°Ь.
    dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
