U sir, deserve a lot of thanks for this.. I've been holding back to flash the new 2.3 ROM because its locked bootloader.. With pink screen back, flashing roms it back to getting less risky now.. TQ~!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Nope, but for the information, it's going to be an app named X5Toolbox, and from there you can flash recoveries, boot images, bootloaders, perhaps even AMSS, restore and backup IMEI etc.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkado:
i can access files in pink screen mode, i guess i don't have the latest official rom as a base for cm :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Repeal:
Worked for me too. CM7 from geno and 5.5.0.4 from blefish. and also ofcourse B522 :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
This is a Big step! Blefish and dancer_69 thank you for this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
All work done by blefish, I just sent him my bootloader from beta2.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yannn007:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
I have CWM 5.0.2.6 installed, would this be a problem?

I know you reccommend the CWM 5.5.0.4 but my screen is synaptics and I like to have the kypad functional.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Repeal:
yes 5.5.0.4 should support synaptics too :/ he has a point.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] salah_heart:
I tell this cuz i update to B522 and downgrade to 2.2 so i think i bricked my device cuz. Now no USB cant read my device after this and also after flashing Miui rom cant boot any more

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
Hi, but if i upgraded to that ****y 2.3 but after some time downgraded to 2.2 - still i exposed to this bootleader lock stuff? or i save and i don't need to do this mod?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
You don't need to and you must not, if you have 2.2 or base 2.2 (B138 or before). The pink screen should be available by default on all official roms before B522.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
So to summarize:

If you want to "play" with custom ROM's based on 2.3.5 it is smart to install:

U8800V100R001C00B518G001 which doesn't lock the bootloader and then play with custom ROM's based on .35 kernel? Is that correct?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
Yes.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Pelemane:
Does this work with B526?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spatjoe:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Pelemane:
Nice, thanks :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] djemr:
I tried it on B526 and CWM 5.0.2.7, worked like a charm.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
flashed on 522 with 5.0.2.7 while on Aurora 1.11 and worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
My burning question (and I think others have the same question)... with this "fix" for the pink screen / bootloader lock now available, what official rom version is the best to use for upgrading to the .35 kernel?

Or are they all the same, if you're going to simply flash a custom rom 5 minutes later?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
b517 or b518, because then you dont have to unlock the bootloader ;). Its faster:D. But i dont think it matter any other way.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Decided to go with B526 as I hope the latest version has less likelihood of losing the IMEI...lol Huawei is crap.

Anyway, I now have a phone running B526 + root + CWM + unlocked bootloader + a full backup (via Ghost, dd on Windows is not fun!)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] alex1301:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
It works with b528. I'm not 100%	sure zip works but it just runs same command so it should work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
I have b518's bootloader and am thinking of downgrading to stock b138. Will this work?

If not. Can I manually install b138's bootloader from somewhere before I install it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
When you install B138, it automatically installs B138 bootloader.

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Thanks!

So if you don't have a locked bootloader a new bootloader is always installed when you upgrade/downgrade stock rom?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
My experience has shown that yes, all stock ROMs seem to install bootloader from the same version.

The bootloader is simply a binary, it hasn't got any locks and security on it, unlike in HTC phones.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
But once we install the stock ROMs that have a locked bootloader, it stays locked no matter what other stock ROM we install, correct?

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
The work "locked" is not really right in our phone. It's not locked, it's simply modified "pink screen". Every stock ROM has a bootloader packed on, and will be installed when flashing. So it doesn't matter which rom you install, you will get bootloader from the same version as the rom you're flashing (B526 --> B526 bootloader; B138 --> B138 bootloader).

I hope you get me now :).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Oh I get it now... I was confusing the locked part with the no USB access in pink mode... so my question is, once we install a stock that has no USB access to pink mode, then, no matter what other stock we install, even 2.2, it will still have no access to pink mode, correct? At least that's my experience, and that's why this thread is so great, it provided me with a way to restore that USB storage...

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I could be wrong, perhaps 2.2 ROMs don't have bootloader packed on, or it fails installing it, when flashing it after stock 2.3 ... But as far as I have tested, every ROM >=B517 installs a bootloader. I am glad it helps though :).

A word on the new bootloader (>=B522) that doesn't have USB mounting, it actually uses a different way to communicate. The new way is to use QPST (Qualcomm Product & Support Tools), but as it needs a code to unlock the usage, we can't use that.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Oh, ok, it's nice to know what's going on in the behind the scenes :-) how you guys figure out these things is amazing :-)

Personally I have stock beta 2.3.5 1 in a dload.35 folder and stock 2.2 in a dload.32 folder in my sdcard... whenever I need to install a .35 based ROM is as simple as rename the dload.35 and rebooting the phone and after installation, getting in pink mode and copying the recovery file, no need to boot stock ROM and rooting... saves a lot of work...

I got the pink screen on the phone but when I pluged the usb cable on the PC, the PC got a blue screen and reboot (yes I'm running windows lol), it happened two times and I decided to don't give it any more tries xD Do you know what may cause this?

I need a little help here. I can't remember which official ROM version I flashed before flashing Aurora ICS, so I really don't know if my bootloader is locked or not.

When I press Volume Up + Volume Down + Power I get to the pink screen. However, when I connect with USB my Ubuntu box doesn't mount anything, which leads me to believe I have a locked bootloader, but the pink screen showing confuses me as to whether this might be a problem with my box mounting the partitions.

My question is, a locked bootloader will show the pink screen and not mount the partitions or it will not show the pink screen at all?

So to unlock bootloader you have to flash a downgrade to be able to flash B926 or B927 or B919 stock rom.

after that you can unlock bootloader etc etc...

Hi all,

I started this thread to ask for the unbranded PowerOff.apk which is located at "/system/app/".

The device is an Optimus 3D P970h V10a (2.2.2).

The thing is that the original file has been modified and now the phone won't shutdown.

Also, what are the needed permissions (Read/Write/Execute)?

Once someone uploads it, will it work by just placing the PowerOff.apk at "/system/app/" and setting the right permissions with Root Explorer?

As there are plenty of "holes" in the body of the Galaxy Note, are you afraid that dust might get into the inside of the phone, and may contaminate the screen?

Or, has this happened to some one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
I don't think that'll be a problem since the screen and the glass is really really tight together. It's not like 2 years ago when there was "huge" gaps between the LCD and the glass. Haven't seen or heard from anybody with dust problems.

Yeah I'm worried. So I have a screen protector and a case. And I keep it in clean places.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] madbird:
doesn't have any smart phones a lot of holes?. i cant see that the note have more or bigger holes then the rest?. but aside that. i use smart phones the last 8 years now, starting with a P900 up to the HD2. and i can assure you these phones have seen places you even cant imagine if you have not being there your self, when the talk came to dirt & dust. and i never ever had any dust under the glass of my phones. so i'm pretty sure the note is safe/unsafe as any smart phone in that point.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
Isn't the point of super AMOLED that the glass is bonded to the display without any gaps ie it should be impossible for dusty to get in in between?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:

Buddy this isnt a htc product. No worries.

GALAXY NOTE
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Yep, that's what i've read. That's a key difference between AMOLED and Super AMOLED. SAMOLED will give us the illusion that we're touching the display panel directly since it's bonded to the glass. AMOLED/LCD is not. So i would think that it's nearly impossible to get dust under the glass.

Screen protector and case will help your worry. Though if you apply the screen protector there is a possibilty of getting dust underneath it resulting in you thinking there could be dust under your screen :D
