I flashed the U8800Pro update to my regular U8800 last night. I just wanted to see what would happen and yep the phone ended up a little broken. But after some time I did manage to fix it.. sort of.

As above, flash the U8800+ F ROM to the phone. This will downgrade things and you'll find that you can then use recovery. I did also have another problem that the /data partition was oddly missing from the device so I had to recreate it <DANGEROUS> using Minitool Partition Wizard (with phone on pink bootloader screen). Also I had to make the FAT32 partition for internal SD as well.

The result is that my phone is 95% fully working. The Huawei/IDEOS logo is now missing and replaced with a green background with a red and blue rectangles and load_oemlogo is unable to reprogram this. Custom ROMs work absolutely fine but all U8800 original ROMs fail to install. Also graphics are missing when installing original roms - only the pink progress bar is showing.

So yeah... DON'T FLASH THE U8800+ ROM TO YOUR REGULAR U8800.

I knew it wouldn't work. I'm crazy enough to try it so I could see if it can be reversed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
I think this could be the main problem here. I'll try the mentioned u8800+ ROM :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
Trying and praying in god not to disappointing me as this is my first android phone..... :(

3 Updates over :) hoping for best
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
Now I've flashed this u8800+ ROm ( with the 4 steps) and at first ntohing happened. changing the rom doesn't change anything. but then i could finally install the B138 EstoniaElisa stock rom... and the green froyo symbol arrives :) SO HAPPY!!:D

Now it's possible the rot and recover the phone....

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH! :) I would never thought about the option to flash another rom that don't fit to this phone :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
OMG:) i am so happy BRO thanks to you.....

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Thanks to you too bro for starting this thread........ :)

But we lost our IMEI number i think.....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
I think that I don't have this problems and I see the normal LOGO at startup :)

No problem krish_nank - I only didn't know how to repair this .

SO: Never change a running system ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ponder Stibbons:
Ah, Hangover. :-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
I am trying my stock ROM back.... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
You sir, have balls of pure adamantium. I don't think I'd try it (if it was my only phone). If I ever tried something like that it would be with Desire Z ROMS :D ... they do look similar in specs so there should be better chances to work IMO.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
OKay,everything seems to be working fine :)

Only one problem - quite a big one:

When i mount the SDCard to my PC (in recovery mode and directly when the phone is on) the SDCard is recognized from the PC as a DVDROM drive. I cannot copy/move etc. files onto it.... deleting it from the device manager doesn't help.

some ideas? :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
I just checked it now....same issue here may be missing some drivers.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ponder Stibbons:
Hello, I am back again. Meanwhile I have looked around a little bit on my U8800 and I have found something. :-)

fdisk -l /dev/sdc

sfdisk -l /dev/sdc

I found a folder called "image" on /dev/sdc1 with some files in it.

Are these the files you needed?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sks976:
look in this topic, possible you will help. Russian guys have come up with something.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
Stupidity, not balls. And my phone has now become a brick. Time to send it off for repair :o
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] turbo.exe:
Russian guys will end up with nothing, if there would be no dev attention for the topic :( I've PM'ed to the dev sub-forum moderator, but he still keeps silence...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
AAnd the next issue is the WLAN connectivity. I can't activate it, there only is "Fehler" (failure / mistake) in the bottom line.

For the SDCard Problem i can place the card in my reader. But no WLAN.... annoying
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ponder Stibbons:
Please give the approach from katu2006 in this thread a try.

I have an untouched U8800 here and I have made a copy from my "Image"-folder with the important files in it. You can try it when I know how to upload the zip file.

Hth
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
No chance. I've updated it to stock rom B138 --> oxygen 2.3.1 --> cwm7 (desired). Everytime I see in the wlan settings a failure and can't activate it.

Maybe this thing will be fixed after the real update to 2.3.3 from huawei end of november...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
At first I see an "activate". after I press it - cwm7 ( and oxygen ,too) restarts and i have to insert my pin a next time. then i see "activate", too. after pressing it ( a second time) --> failure.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
I'm quite sure the 2.3.5 update updated some internal firmware which may be causing your new issues. The official U8800 2.3.5 update, when available, should sort your issues out.

The only problem now is that if the updates are upgrading things like radio then it might make custom roms incompatible.. for now.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
But then I think after some time the custom roms will be updated, too :) Okay... and if the update don't help --> "Huawei, after the update of your new firmware my WLAN is broken"... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
Bro i had same issue with CW7 & Oxygen ROM (On stock it works well) .It works well on FLB custom ROM for the U8800-r7 and franco.kernel-o4102011 Try it......:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
will try it :)

Of course franco kernel was used everytime
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
Okay, FLB Rom works fine - WLAN inclusive :)

So I will use this ROM now - hope that 2.3.3. is rolling out in the end of november.

i'm accustomed to the cwm7 rom....

Thanks for all here :)

Edit: The problem - the sd card is recognized as a DVD Rom drive when connecting to my PC - is solved with using the stcok rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
are you able to make or receive calls i tried with many SIM cards its not working.... i think f***d my ideos like an idiot.....

May be due to IMEI loss
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] itsmeena:
Thanks dear. Followed the instructions worked like a charm ;);)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
So after using the phone with the stock rom for a while I've seen some things they are not normal.

Mounting the SDCard in Recovery results in a DVD drive recognition at the PC. when it's on, plug in the cable results in that i see the nroam hdd-drive ( without telling the phone connect to...).

But the main issue is the not working WLAN.

Every 2.3 rom (oxygen, miui and cwm) - no chance to get it working. with the flb rom and the normal stock rom it is possible.

But WHY? Is it not possible to find the files or whatever to change them against the 2.2 files?

WIth the uot kitchen i thought I could make a new theme - but it is not used correctly. what a pity ^^

And of course - it is much slower than the custom roms...

WIth the stock rom i'm not really happy now...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
Yes this is possible - no problems there.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
I don't know what i messed up with.... i am unable to make or receive calls ....checked other settings of call forwarding and all but get network or SIM error with lots of sim's tried.....

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nasos95:
Hello and thank you for your time.

I flashed the STEP ONE U8800+ latest ROM in my normal U8800.... :S

Now, even if I have a "dload" with the normal UPDATE.APP, it will just go in the pink screen....Changing the files doesn't do anything..even if I alter the recovery.img and boot.img and stuff, it won't go in Recovery(or CWM) and just keep bootlooping...

Please guys, is there anything I can do to return my phone to normal?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
I have done exactly as nasos95 did. Same issues, any solutions yet? For the time being I have sent it to warranty/repairs.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MrJudylicious:
bumped -- im on AT&T, before there had been no image folder when accessed pink screen, and otherwise it would boot into blue screen (like BSOD). I dumped the 4 files into an image folder and then when i try to access recovery, it goes to black screen and i have to pull the battery. If i boot up normally it would get stuck on AT*T logo. My friend (who did this to his phone and begged me for help) didnt give me his SD card so i couldnt try the update.app, but i will be trying that tonight. If anyone has an insight, it would be appreciated.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MrJudylicious:
i was able to resolve my issue by downloading those 4 files, putting them in the root directory of the phone pink screen then downloading the official 2.3.5 from the huawei website, put it on my sdcard (root directory) /dload/update.app go to pink screen but dont connect to pc, it recognized the card and went to black screen, unpacked, installed, rebooted, it wiped cache, data, and cache again, rebooted, and now im using android. good luck to you two guys above me
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Another one confused and upgrade his u8800 with u8800±(pro) update........well done......

Good luck my friend.....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yannn007:
I had CM7 with 35 kernel from geno installed on my u8800 and wanted to downgrade to b138 so I putted dload folder on my internal memory and started updating... the update went fine until the phone said update failed :mad::mad: Now it doesnt turn on it comes to huawei logo and then shutsdown... I can get to the pink screen but it doesnt mount on my computer (the bootloader is locked).

So Is there anything I can do? I guess I could if Huawei would left the bootloader unlocked?

I know where you're coming from, just 1 week ago I had my captivate that has faithfully lasted me 15 months sans scratches and dropped numerous times, it was my baby and was flashed more than a crowd in spring break. It had gotten to the point where the number of applications and amount of productivity that I used in my daily routine increased ten-fold and my Captivate couldn't handle the performance and the battery;I now have the Captivate's successor and it's extremely awesome, quick, and with superb battery life, and we don't even have ICS yet!

I was very used to using the slide out keyboard on the tilt2, to thumb type easily (despite having big hands/fingers.

I have a little trouble typing on screen in the same fashion with the S2, but I'm getting more used to it. Most users probably have no problem, my fingers are too big.

While you may not notice a speed difference on the phone, you will certainly notice a difference when you use a card reader to transfer files.

Haven't seen anything like that to be honest. Maybe look for imperfections on the casing and if you find anything, try using a nail file to smooth it out.

I did this for a week after i got the play and sometimes just left it and didnt press it.

I've only had my xperia play for 2-3 weeks.
