1. Download and install Fiddler.
http://fiddler2.com/home

Setting up fiddler

1.launch fiddler，Select Tool->Fiddler Options in the menu bar
2.on the following Message Box，Select Connections page，Set the settings below
------
Fiddler listens to port:8888
Check all box EXCEPT ' Capture FTP requests' and 'USE PAC SCRIPTS'
Bypass fiddler for URLs that start with
(enter line below)
<-loopback>;

3.Change configurations to reset OC. Select Rules->Customize Rules... in the menu bar
4.Use Note pad to open the script, Find 'OnBeforeRequest' in this file.
5.At line 1，insert 3 lines as shown below（line 2 to line 4 is what you need to add.
DONT COPY 'LINE X:' ON THE LEFT! THEY ARE NOT USEFUL!!! IT IS JUST FOR HELPING YOU.

Line 1:static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) {

Line 2: if (oSession.uriContains(".windowsphone.com") && oSession.uriContains("&oc=CN&")) {

Line 3: oSession.url = oSession.url.Replace("&oc=CN&", "&oc=EN&");

Line 4: }

6.Note that in the lines above, EN stands for UK，which means that we are going to switch to UK market place afterwards. So the region format in your phone have to select UK. If you want to switch to other markets, just change EN into other countries' short name, the country you set on your phone have to be the same as the one you set in the lines above.
7.This is my fiddler configuration ：http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...&uk=1577572084 Set to uk，lazybones can download it directly and unzip and overwrite, the path is：

C:\Users\\Documents\Fiddler2\Scripts\CustomRules.js

8.After all done，Select Menu--- File->Capture Traffic。You can see http packs are captured

Next, the phone：
1.Enter Settings->WLAN
2.Select wifi you are currently using.
3.Add proxy（The Ip address of the PC which is running fiddler and port 8888）Example:Server:192.168.0.100，Port：8888

You should set up a proxy on your computer, google 'how to' yourself, I'm Chinese and don't know much about these software, and if you can read Chinese, http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...&uk=1577572084

Next, Switch the market!!!!:

1.Enter settings��language +regions��Country /region（change to UK if you set above）��region format（change to UK if you set above）
RESET YOUR PHONE.

2.Enter settings��feedbacks ,open it��back to settings��click phone update, click find update, wait for it to complete
3.Wait for about 10-20 minutes.
Then enter Huawei Hub，find SKYPE, jump to market to download ，success!!!（Seems that we can't enter the market directly)
NEVER FORGET TO TURN OFF FEEDBACK AFTER IT IS ALL RIGHT!!!!!

Locked to China App Marketplace

Gil Dafnai — Mon, 06 May 2013 21:28:04 GMT

I am US based, but purchased a non-carrier-locked HUAWEI W1 while on a trip to China. My Microsoft ID is a US-region account. When I set up my phone, no matter that my Microsoft ID is US-based, I seem to be locked to China App Marketplace. Is there any way to change this? I find that I am blocked from installing apps such as Facebook on this phone. Any guidance is welcome.

Got this phone!

daniel_sherlock — Wed, 01 May 2013 18:51:23 GMT

I brought this phone last week, happy with it so far.

Wish I could install apps to the SD card at 4gb not enough for games and a ton of apps. Also that other folder takes up 1.20gb and then system im left with barely a Gig!!

:devil:

something about huawei and its w1

oscarxvita — Wed, 01 May 2013 10:41:14 GMT

Well, I'm currently using Huawei Ascend W1 now, it is not cheap at its release(I bought it at the price of 1399 rmb... But after the 520 release...its price go down to 999rmb....
The phone is just ok. BUT DOWN WITH THE RESTRICTIONS OF MARKET!! I WANT.TWITTER AND FACEBOOK AND SKYPE!!!!!
The first two editions of w1 sold in China have some problems: mono sound, crack sound, a straight line right on the screen because of lack of quality control......
but last week they finally make an ota update and fix all the problems. They finished on march but Microsoft verify the update for 1.5 months!!! That's AMAZING!!

Well my friends, I know your concerns for Huawei devices, the USA gov and media did want to kick Huawei off not only because security(they did not find clues), but because Cisco gave them money for election. Cisco is beaten by Huawei in the other part of the world and do not want Huawei to capture the last market it have. Huawei's localization and services are in nearly every country, cheap and strong, so most carriers prefer it.
Cisco's devices also have security problems, so it is a politic issue, not because of product.
You have Japanese made game consoles and it can also be used by JP army to make supercomputer by connecting them together....lol
