[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] huzefa_from_kuwait:
The original ROM was U8800HV100R001AREC00B135SP01 CUSTC213D001 (Kuwait VIVA). I have downloaded it as well.

However as suggested it asks me to create a dload folder in a formatted SD card with the zipped files within it, and then start the phone in 'recovery mode'. However the phone doesn't start in that mode with the same restarting issue.

One person suggested to create a 'dload' folder in the SD card with no contents in it and then start the phone in 'bootloader' mode and the phone will auto revert to its default firmware. I did as suggested but it didn't work either.

I have the original boot.img that came with the phone. I also downloaded a fresh boot.img (along with the other three files that come in the images folder) but still the same result of restarting during trying to start in 'recover mode'.

It was working fine till I messed it up trying to upgrade it to 2.3 to change the patched wpa_supplicant file to connect to Ad-Hoc networks.

I think I need to change the files required for 'recover mode' to default ones, but I don't know where they reside. Any tutorial in this direction would be great.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] HFZenon:
My guess is that some of the partitions got messed up somehow, some different filesystems (ext4 over ext3) in 2.3 stock fw.

Have you tried copying update.app to dload-folder of sdcard then booted phone with both vol-down and vol-up pressed (bootloader mode). That should in theory start the update...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] arkudos:
Ok then.... because I'm lost... which rom was on!

2.2.1?

or 2.3.?

these are the files needed FIRST....

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

Ok IF you were on 2.2.... on sdcard make \dload folder with update 2.2 original rom!!!!

Vol+ Vol- Power on...pink screen and it should do the rest!!!

Recovery after you reinstall 2.2!

Now IF you managed to put 2.3... then put 2.3 update in sdcard \dload and again it should do the rest.

If you are trying to come back to 2.2 or miui oxygen cm7 from the beta.... first put the 2.3 beta back on via the sdcard.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] huzefa_from_kuwait:
I have put the original ROM in 'dload' folder and as suggested I shall have started the phone in 'bootloader' mode now. There is no movement on the screen so I don't know even if its doing something.

How much should I wait or shall I be notified if the update is done ?

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
Is your folder structure like this

/sd

/sd/dload

/sd/dload/update.app

If it is, then boot to bootloader. you should see it is doing stuff.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] huzefa_from_kuwait:
I have double checked it again, the structure is 'dload' folder in the root of the memory card and the update.app file in it, still however I don't see any movement in the 'bootloader' mode, just the "pink" screen continuously lit.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] HFZenon:
Pink screens means it didn't work. Your phone isn't mounting the sd-card right in bootloader mode. You could try to put the dload-folder on internal sd-card, should be possible since you're on linux. Think you just need to mount the right partition when connecting your phone via usb when in pinkscreen. I don't recall exactly which partition as I'm using Windows and haven't tried this, but you should be able to find some more info around here by searching a bit...

U8800

Hello XDA-Forum!

Same problem here with my u8800

I have original recovery.img but i fd' other files by overwriting them.. (yes i know...)

Now my phone doesen't start flashing and i cant do anything. I was using almost latest version of oxygen mod.

Do i need original files to flash my phone back to stock in image/... floder? And if i need, can i dig version form recovery.img? or might this is problem with partitions? I think oxygen is known by partition problems.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] huzefa_from_kuwait:
I have tried as you suggested, There were 5 partitions on the phone 2 of which were smaller than 200MB and therefore could not save the update file which is larger in size. I have tried over the remaining three partitions but in vain, they all end up with the same pink screen.

However you might be correct that my phone is not mounting the SD card as I can't see the SD card in the list of mounted drives in the computer.

To put/move files on SD card I have to use my another phone ;)

I will get another SD card and try. In the meanwhile if there is anything else I could try, do advice me.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] HFZenon:
Hi, and welcome to XDA! :)

I guess you got the same problem with sd-card not mounting properly if you can't initiate stock flashing via dload-folder-method.

If you search the forums you'll find links to download all files that's needed in the image-folder of pinkscreen-partition. Then you'll hopefully be able to boot to recovery (vol-up + power), wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and flash whatever ROM you'd like. Remember this erases all your data, hopefully you've backed up whatever precious stuff you've got on your phone. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Nahkamies:
Thank u!

I loaded Official 2.3 overseas original boot.img & recovery.img but nothing new happened. volume up+power = bootloop, if i try flash volumeup+down + power = pinkscreen. If i delete image folder comes blue. Another ideas? :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] HFZenon:
Remember that you need all files from the same version. Try this, those are from stock 2.2 if I'm not mistaken. When (if?) you get into recovery, remember to clear cache / data / dalvik cache.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Nahkamies:
Bingo! I'm very grateful of your help!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] huzefa_from_kuwait:
Glad to hear you get it working as we both had the basically same problem.

For me however still it is the same issue, except that while going into the recover mode now it shuts down instead or restarting endlessly. Where as the bootloader mode simply does nothing.

Can you post the exact steps you did to get your work so I can also repeat them?

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] HFZenon:
@huzefa_from_kuwait:

You've got the U8800

H

right? Then you need to find the correct image-folder for your phone, as it differs from what I uploaded which is for U8800.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] huzefa_from_kuwait:
As the documents suggest the 'images' folder resides on a FAT32 partition. There is only one FAT32 partition on the phone, and it does have a images folder within which are the files that you have uploaded.

I have started to get a feeling now that it might be a hardware issue, Yet I will keep trying.

Thanks.

Okay! i wanted to try the first leaked Icecream Sandwich from Samsung, and it all worked fine! But when i decided to revert back, it was like someone has taken a contrast slider and turned it up.

The only temporary solution i've found is the vodoo screen tuning app, or as it is mentioned in here, Exynos Screen tuning. But the effect only lasts untill reboot. Please help!

Edit: Okay! not even the Exynos Screen tuning app doesnt restore the contrats properly... Stupid ICS

Bit of a shame it's ask plastic would have been move if the trim was metal to help protect it without a case.

I dropped it from like one foot, fell out of my pants got a mark on the trim, which I totally thought was metal.. Bit disappointed. First Samsung device, HTC definitely kick Samsungs arse in build quality/durability which is needed in a handset.

I must confess I have done the same involuntary experiment, same result. The fall was slowed by the headphone cable and the phone landed vertically and then falled on it's back. Result: scratches on the bottom metal and a very small one on plastic back. Screen intact.

My kid disobeyed the Golden Rule of not touching my phone and dropped it from about 3 feet. Surprisingly, an angel swooped in and grabbed it, raised it where he can't reach and waited for me to retrieve it. Seriouly though, is there a way to get warranty on this phone? I bought it from eBay a week ago but it didn't give me an option to purchase a US warranty.

Metal can get scratched specially aluminum when dropped on concrete or asphalt. Have you seen the latest HTC phones? They're all made out of plastic.

As long as there are no flexes in the chassis where it actually counts, i couldn't careless about the usage of plastic
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braxos:
Metal makes the phone more stable and screen to easy to brake because on a fall the power from the drop goes to the screen without looking a strength front the metal bending or braking, my English isn't so good to explain more a static solution about the thema. Just check iphone cracking display because of it's metal body. And to answer your question, no I don't think you have space to put plastic between to absorb the fall. If a fellow with static experience and better English could explain them if this isn't enough.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatsnake:
Even though I've never dropped my Galaxy Note got a tiny dent on the removable back cover, and a medium size z shaped scratch that looks more like a smudge because its superficial but no matter how many times I try to wipe it it's still there. I've never put it in the same pocket with keys or anything like that, and I covered it with a silicone cover the moment I bought it. The only thing I could think of that might have caused the damage is when I enter or exit the subway station the phone came in contact with the turnstiles while in my pocket. Maybe while its spinning it hit my phone or something and caused the damage even though the denim of my pants was still in between the turnstiles and the phone I guess it somehow hit it at a bad angle :(

Does anyone know how to clean the annoying smudge / scratch without having to use a whole set of carpenter's tools that might make it worse? lol

I dropped my Note from 1meter 1 week after purchase. It was a free fall with not much impact power but the protective glass had a crack on the upper left corner. Then I started using it with zenus mastrige block folio case at all times. I dropped the device at worse conditions several times and not even a single scratch ever since. I am still using my Note with dentil scratch from the first drop down. I dunno what's the best deal to get it fixed as amoled screen itself is not damaged but only the protective glass on top which needs to be replaced. There is a thread someone changed that part himself but I don't have the guts or skills to choose that path
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TorrentialDownpour:
I dropped my Note a while ago while going at 50kmph or so on my bike... It fell on its base (where the USB plugs in), bounced and went sliding away, glass down (back and battery popped out). Ended up with a big scratch on the plastic casing, and some scratches (two of 'em deep), but the glass was intact. Considering the speed it hit and the friction it had to endure, I can honestly say, this phone is a hundred times hardier than most other phones.

P.S. Everyone complaining about plastic, please understand that plastic is an extremely flexible and hardy material. Metal may be strong, but it transfers all the energy to the glass. I much rather my plastic parts get scratched/split since they're cheap to replace, than have my screen shattered, as would happen if the case was metal.

[LG Optimus 2x] hardmankam:
Hi all,

I dont know if this is hardware related since my LG 2x is a white one which is made in Oct 2011 as LG may change the hardware a little to prevent support in EXT4.

Anyway, here is my problem...

Anytime I flash my 2x with ANY EXT4 ROM or kernel (eg: Topogigi v2.0, Thanatos2X v4.2, NeoBlaze EXT4 kernel etc...) I cannot boot my phone pass the LG logo screen. (This is without the progress bar at the bottom of the LG logo).

The phone is stuck there forever unless I pull the battery and reflash the ROM with backtoext3.zip and an EXT3 ROM. All EXT3 ROM work 100%, like LG's Stock, Modaco GR5, Slick2X, BlazingDragon2.1 and CM7 etc.

So I am wondering if it is my phone that is causing this problem or whether I am missing something along the way.

I would love to try EXT4 ROM thus any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

1st it isn's your phones hardware. LG isn't preventing anyone from using EXT4 - this is solely in the software implementation.

…and CM7 isn’t a “EXT3” ROM. CM7 supports any ext (2/3/4 doesn’t matter).

The kernel or some messed up installation script is most probably the culprit…

When installing a new ROM you should always:

Format /system and /cache and then wipe dalvik – this way you get a clean system but you don’t lose your user data! Afterwards install ROM and gapps if needed/not includes in rom and then the kernel if needed + scripts.

Good working combo should be topogigi/thanatos and horsepower kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Verify that /cache is reformated, certain version of backtoext3 don't reformat /cache.

CM7 is an ext4 ROM (last time I used it it was...months ago), but perhaps it's just a 'remount as ext4' and not a native fresh ext4 formatting..

So basic things: format all partitions in CWM: /system /cache /data, erase Dalvik. Then to be sure backtoext3.

There are no reason to not be able to use ext4 as it is only a matter of kernel driver and partition format = software and not hardware.
[LG Optimus 2x] hardmankam:
Thanks for the info.

I forgot to mentioned in my 1st post that I always wipe system, cache and dalvik cache before flashing all the ROM I mentioned before.

I checked again and yes, CM7.2 is EXT4, so my title of my post is not correct.

Anyhow, I just tried to flash the Kernel 'ironkrnL32-20111214h1547' over my working CM7.2 ROM; however, the same thing happened. After the flash, the booting will be stuck at the LG logo screen and does not move past that point.

Moreover, I have also tried the Topogigi ROM w/ SP merged (just 1 file) and it did not boot past the LG logo point as well.

I am really out of ideas now.
[LG Optimus 2x] mags014:
I had same issue before, what I do is after I flash, I let it load for 10 mins, and of course its stuck on booting, take out the battery and sd card and put back battery only, after that, it loads. I don't know why but it works for my phone so it might work for you.
