download the official ROM from the link given. Unzip it.

after Unzip, you will see "dload" folder. Copy that folder into an empty microsd card. Put the microsd card into u8860. press volume up, volume down and power button simultaneously. It should update the rom automatically.
*
must it be in empty sd card? so in order to make my sd card empty, i just copy all the folders in my sd card to my desktop right?

so this is the step im doing

- empty sd card,
- copy dl folder
- press vol up, down and power together
- it will update rom

is the step correct?

ok, checklist here,

your sdcard copy must only contain :

D:\dload\

which means copy the whole "dload" folder into the sdcard.

then, when u do the volume up+down+power button, a purple/pink screen should appear...if you copy the "dload" folder correctly, it should auto update it. if not, the purple/pink screen remains like that ony. so, u need to pull the battery and do the vol up + down + power again.
*
duno why your vol up+down+power can't work ..

im using this step now, and its updating

1. On your computer, download the Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 firmware package. Connect your device to your computer using its USB cable.

2. Copy the downloaded .zip file to the SD card of your phone. Make sure that the file destination of the .zip package is in your phone’s ‘dload’ directory.

3. Remove the attached USB cable and power cycle your phone to idle mode. Click on Menu> Settings> Storage> Software Update> SD Card Upgrade> OK. This performs your upgrade operation on your Huawei Honor.

4. A screen will display containing the message ‘Upgrade Complete.’ This signifies that the upgrade process has been completed. However, you will have to wait until your phone restarts into a boot animation called ‘Unicom’. Normally, this takes 3 minutes to do.

i kinda miss the old locker, where u can access to calls, camera, sms and unlock at 1 time. The new launcher, only can access to camera and unlock. The face detection is quite accurate and cool also.

Btw, i wanted to download google chrome beta on the phone, since it only support ics. But, i can't seem to download it. Like its not supported hmm.gif

2.3.6 is quite problem free except for the speaker bug when video recording. This current ics, i have experience a few reboot and hang. i also use back huawei launcher after finding out that go launcher is very laggy.

after using 4.0 for 2 weeks. i feel like switching to 2.3.6 even tho got the video camera bug. Will only change back to 4.0 after they resolve all the bugs.

What im very annoyed with the 4.0
- no task manager
- Locker only have camer and unlock compare to the previous version which has unlock, camera, call log, msges.
- hang's alot
- random reboot.

the most un tolerable is the random reboot. sometimes im in a hurry to make a call. suddenly this phone will randomly reboot and will take minutes. For now, 2.3.6 is good enough for me, and i there is not that much changes from 2.3.6 to 4.0 to make me stick to 4.0
