Huawei Ascend P2 problems

    OK. So. I've been encountering nothing but problems since I received my Huawei Ascend P2 phone.

    To begin with -
    I bought the phone for the sole purpose of it being 4G/LTE. When I got it, I couldn't figure out how to get it, so I contacted Three and was told that my phone had to be 4.3 - it was running 4.1.2.
    When I tried to get 4.3 through whatever means, it stopped working.
    I tried to do a complete factory reset and now I'm getting many more problems -

    I keep getting errors that anything Google related has stopped working (especially Google keyboard).
    My contacts won't auto-sync, despite me having my Google account synced up with it.
    The icons at the bottom of the screen (back, home, settings/whatever else) won't light up and the home button isn't working.
    It's a different loading screen than normal - before it was a Huawei Ascend splash screen, now it just says "Android".
    It is not being detected by my laptop whatsoever.
    When I try and download anything using a browser, it says "starting download" but nothing works.

    So, anyone have a solution? It is driving me demented. And all because I wanted bloody 4G.

    What means did you use to get Android 4.3, sounds like that's causing the issues.

    I have no doubt that it is and in the end I didn't even get 4.3 to work.

    Firstly I rooted the phone using eRoot, which did work and allowed root access.
    I then downloaded P2Tools, which was obtained from this thread and it allowed me to put CWM on it.
    Once this was done, I attempted to put CM 10.2 on it, but kept getting a Status 7 error. Some quick Googling later, I discovered this video, which showed how to solve it.
    When I followed the steps on there, I kept getting a Status 0 error.
    That was when I started to encounter those problems, so I wiped everything I could, even system, but that part failed.


    And that's about it.

    I've recently also discovered that I cannot get any 3G access and that on Devices Manager, it's coming up as just "G:".

    Did a quick google myself and there doesn't appear to be a lot of info on th P2 out there.
    Jaysus dude I hope you made a backup of your original rom before the new install.
    I see a link here on XDA showing how to get back to stock if you didn't perform a nandroid backup.
    Hope you get it sorted. I do a lot of messing around with my own phones and sometimes it can really get you bogged down when stuff doesn't work.

    XDA lInk, even though I suspect you have already been there. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519977

    I'm also actually getting help on XDA too. Thought I might as well ask as many places as possible :p
