Thanks to GSM Arena for the picture.

THIS GUIDE IS MADE FOR HUAWEI HONOR/GLORY 3C 2G (H30-U10)

Please do not follow this guide if your device isn't what I stated above.

DISCLAIMER (PLEASE READ)

1. Doing this will VOID YOUR WARRANTY. 

2. I am not responsible if your device exploded, possessed or bricked as this is your decision.

3. This will not work on Malaysia-based firmware. It is confirmed working when initial firmware out of the box is Chinese/Taiwan. I do not know the specific reason why. Probably it has to do with the bootloader type. Tq

For my short review,

"A little to add, For Malaysians, in order for your simcards to be detected, you must flash a Chinese firmware first. Reason is because this ported MIUI rom is not international. Restoring your NVRAM won't make any changes."
