[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
So Huawei says it's posting a new version on Friday and even before the midday in most of the countries, people start ranting Huawei won't release it.

Now that it did as promised, and better: it announced another release with more fixes, people rant again.

Conclusion: People here have no idea on how software or even firmware development works, mainly in these major international OEM provider scenarios.

Huawei is doing an OK job on this, not bad like people are trying to make it look.

We're talking about a 150€ phone, on a company that sells a whole lot of things.

And that means we onle have a 150€ worth support from the company.

But compare it with other major companies like HTC, Motorola or even Samsung...

How many 600€ devices have official ICS? It's been 4 months now, since it was released. How many don't have any major bugs like GPS not working, problems with calls or even weird stuff like volume changing on its own during a call? And we're talking about devices that are "worth" 3 or 4 times the X5 value.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nrdl:
Vudu,

We are talking about gingerbread... Not ICS, that is the first part of your error. The second is that people don't get angry with bug fixing... A brand can't release official updates that make phones useless and then ignore costumers, make them wait more than a month and only fixed part of the problems... It is simple logic.

More... You refer that development is heavy... Bla bla bla... And then you got genokolar, dzo and other great devs that can develop roms and fix bugs in a few days... Strange...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] technowizard17:
have anyone tried the latest update? is the wifi and sd card mounting issue fixed? thanks. sorry for my bad english..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
Well that is not quite fair. Huawei have to put out a firmware that works for multiple carriers and versions of the phone and installs perfectly every time. They have to do internal bug testing and then build a install file for it. They obviously thought b522 was good, but missed a few bugs. Good on them for going back and releasing a fixed version. Their process takes a lot more time as they are working on a much bigger scale.

DZO, Geno etc put a fix/hack out and everyone on the forum beta tests it for them, if it does not work then back to the drawing board. The rom has to be good enough for most people and it is clear from the custom roms that different ones work better on different phones, there is no custom rom that works perfectly on every phone. If one does not work well enough, you hope the dev can fix for you, but mostly, you try a different rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] oxyg3n89:
I tried, card mount bug is still there. This beta is for users who have missed call issues, otherwise just waste of time if upgrading from previous beta.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] technowizard17:
how about the wifi issue? so there's no difference from the previous version except the changelog on the website? thanks for your information :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JaymzBond:
totally right

vudu is the rarest of fanboys , a huawei fanboy.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nrdl:
Yes, both bugs seem to be fixed.

Only bug remains with atmel screens... they will release new version next week
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nrdl:
Paul,

This version is unbranded... So your statement does not apply...

If Huawei wanted beta testers must refer that, the only official bug was wifi problems... Not screen problems, not imei nulled and not even a way to get back to previous versions... On top of that simply could not ignored clients, that is the main error on all the process... and in that case it it does not matter if it costs 150 or 1500.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
I had the oficial gingerbread for a couple hours. It looked a bit like MIUI. I had wi-fi problems, I hope they fixed them with that update.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ruibvb:
do you try this last update? feedback please?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
I'm talking about building a fully working ROM, regardless of its version. First part of my error talking about ICS? Looks like you have some problems reading or understanding English.

So you're comparing hacking and fiddling with kernel sources and libs with building a fully working ROM? Like I said before people here know nothing about development and you're just reinforcing that.

What dzo and other developers do is really great but goes nowhere near building a whole ROM from scratch.

But still, try to guess how any ROMs there would be for U8800 if there was no kernel source: yep it's easy... none.

You know who's really trying to really build a ROM? Blefish with it's 3.0 kernel for ICS. Guess what'd happen if Huawei released a 3.0 kernel? Tons of hacked ICS ROMs would pop out.

I'm no fanboy, you've never seen me praising Huawei, I'm just stating how ignorant and unfair most people here in the forum are. :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sks976:
New B526 is no bad)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] LeonelG:
I shaw no changes. On my device works very smooth.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] A.C.A.B.:
This last release is good. Actually the only difference is indeed the fix of the missing call issue.

I think this rom is a keeper if hangs on like this without fc's or random reboots.

My main problem is in fact the nulled IMEI and I just don't know how to solve this shait.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] utyra:
Well, i think huawei should improve their tecnhical capacities, cause two months just to improve two bugs and of that kind...

Next time or other users should use 5irontoolbox for imei backup.

Regards...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
Before solving your problem, go to the mesnati topic about his bricked phone and help him. He needs info from someone with a nulled IMEI.

I didn't found any news on their forum too, and they even deleted the post about "new release at 2012-02-24". It's already 07:30pm in China, so the release schedule looks like been changed for unknown reason. (-_-!)

Any way to root B528?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tmp341:
:eek: Gingerbread - Chinese Version

Anyway :D I had rooted my phone, with B526 rom.

1) Untick Fastboot under applications

2) Tick USB Debugging and Mock Locations under development (or similar)

3) Dial: *#*#2846579#*#*

4) Go to projectmenu > background settings > log settings > log switch > set Log on

5) Download SuperOneClick v2.3.3 Official Link

6) Plug your U8800 into your computer but DO NOT mount SD Card.

7) Run SuperOneClick and press the ROOT Button, and let it do its thing (say yes to install drivers if asked).

8) Your phone should now be Rooted.

9) You can now go back and turn logging off if you want.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lovetide:
Someone did root by flashed a rooted boot.img kernel file, see:

http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-4931191-1-1.html

1. download pink screen driver first: http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-4688316-1-1.html (need register and reply this thread to download)

2. download file for rooting from http://115.com/file/an980jae, unpack it, and run runme.bat. When the phone reboot, you need install pink screen driver to continue...

3. (optional) after rooted, you can flash back the original boot.img, the phone is still rooted.

btw, i didn't try it yet, because i do not trust this rooted boot.img.

well, after compared this boot.img and original boot.img, this boot.img only changed ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0 in /default.prop, which means when phone reboot, the adbd process of android will run under root user, so SuperOneClick/DooMLoRD_ROOT (infact i mean zergRush) are not needed anymore.

URL problem

The download from the URL fails for me, it downloads around 2 MB of the file and then stops. I tried different browsers of which none worked and I'd like to try this out and leave feedback if it worked or not.

Would anyone upload it somewhere most people can get it from and on reasonable speed? mediafire for example?

EDIT: I got the file, it didn't work at all... Still looking for a way to root it - google gives nothing about this update, I'm kind of thinking about going back to a bit older "update" now that I found touchcreen driver that's not 10px accuracy, instead it's 3px which satisfies my needs 90% (froyo had 2 or 1px sensitivity...)

[HTC EVO 3D] patrao_n:
hey everyone. so my question is about the flash image gui. if I flash a kernel through it and reboot recovery, am I able to wipe the rom using superwipe right then and there? or do I have to reboot recovery again to make the kernel stick so superwipe doesn't touch it before flashing the rom. pretty sure that's clear. but if not let me know. thanks for everyone who looks and helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] Jabawockee:
When using flash image GUI to flash a kernel. You don't need to go into recovery at all afterwards. Should be good. When installing a ROM with a custom kernel flash superwipe script then flash ROM in recovery boot phone then flash kernel VIA image GUI. Then test your wifi, 4g, data, calling etc.

sent from America...F__k Yeah!
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
Actually you had it right the first time. You flash the kernel first, reboot into recovery, wipe then flash the rom. Wiping won't touch the kernel you just flashed.
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
Because of s-on I don't think that the superwipe script can affect the boot partition of the phone so your good with what you say OP.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jabawockee:
Oh! Thats weird because thats how I have been doing it. Everything works for me. I been on just about all ROMS out there...from ICS to sense 3.5 and now the lastest firmware running imbredded ROM. Only once I had a problem with a kernel when I updated to latest OTA using my method above. I then used flash image gui to flash the stock kernel (boot.img) and everything worked fine after.
[HTC EVO 3D] patrao_n:
thanks everyone for answering! I was pretty sure the superwipe wasnt able to erase the kernel being 1.5, just wanted to have some clarification :)

How I got it back was flashing back to WINMO 6.5 ROM, flash MAGLDR, flash AD RECOVERY and ANDROID ROM.

This however is only a temporary solution. After using Android ROM for a while, it freezes and when rebooting, the 1E Fatal Hit comes back.

I tried to look for solutions but so far no body can tell what exactly the problem is.

Some say is Over Heating and other say is bad Nand Blocks.

Even so no proper solution yet.

Want to debrand my Samsung Galaxy S2 branded Hutchinson 3 in Austria.

Device has Android 2.3.3

Pls help, thank you!

Kind regards, Joe
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You can root your phone using the KE2 CFRoot kernel from here. Read the instructions in the first post in that thread carefully & follow the instructions to the letter & you should have a rooted phone in a few minutes.

From there you I recommend you do a backup in CWRecovery as this will give you a "snapshot" of your system in almost original condition (obviously with a rooted kernel).

Then you can get Titanium Pro from the Market & you can/freeze uninstall (be careful uninstalling, I prefer to just freeze) apps you don't use/want, and you can also backup your apps/app data as well.

After that you can flash any of the myriad of custom roms/kernels that can be found on here. If you read the first 10 & last 20 pages of a thread devoted to a rom/kernel, that will give you an idea of the features/pluses/minuses & other users' experiences with that rom/kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe54:

thanks alot! I`ll try it asap.

Hey Guys, I don't think this has been posted before, so thought I'd share. I managed to get CM9 working with my Bell XT860 *without* needing to change up the phone using another country's fastboot file.

My phone was Bell 2.3.6, rooted, otherwise stock. I used Hashcode's safestrap to make a nandroid backup and install the latest patched CM9 from Rick#2 available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1465297

I actually didn't expect it to boot up, but thought I'd give it a go since even if it failed the worst that could happen is that I'd have to SBF anyways.

At first it was a black screen, I had to do a battery pull. After the battery went back in, it started booting up with the animation screen, which showed multiple times over about 5-10 minutes. Then the phone started up Ice Cream Sandwich!

I've been testing it out a bit.. not much yet, but Market is working, data 3g seems to be working 2700 kbps up / 1341 kbps down (with a server that's super far away, 321ms ping). GPS is working... Wifi good. Camera does not work.

Wow, I never expected this. I think this gives hope to those who want to try out Ice Cream Sandwich but still want the ability to go back to stock. Or am I missing something?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
If you bootloop while in safe mode DON'T SBF. Safestrap works by renaming /system to /systemorig and making /preinstall your new /system.

This means when you're in safemode you can always access recovery. So if you bootloop just battery pull to get out of the loop and then you'll e able to hit menu and enter safestrap. Either flash a different rom or return to nonsafe. If you are using safestrap 1.08 and not 1.08d you can't even flash nonsafe mode (1.08d is tweaked to allow advanced user to flash over their nonsafe, for example I have both liberty and eclipse roms on my phone no stock at all)

Also first boot of a rom always takes a long time. After that it should boot much faster

As another note if you do manage to screw up /systemorig somehow you can use motofastboot utility to flash just the system.img part of the SBF package. This will only replace the rom, then you just reboot, install safestrap and restore you backup.
[Motorola Droid 3] ncho2233:
Wow, thanks for the warning, very good information! It's so good to be able to try some custom roms again. I'm out of CM9 already for lack of camera but so far am really impressed with Liberty, it's like my phone has come to life again. Very quick and responsive, amazing ability to customize as well.
