[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] greeshan:
Restoring of brick Huawei U8800.

All do at your own risk! I am not responsible for your machines!

Today I was able to magically (just wonderful, because it found the time at which there is a chance to run the update) to recovery from a brick Huawei U8800 (corrupted bootloader + recovery not run + in a pink screen not mounted hard drive + when trying to update the written Update failed! I spoke to a service center, they said the warranty is not the case and we must change the motherboard (the cost of 3-4 million BYR, new at the MTS salon cost 2.9 million BYR :D )

What and how I did:

1) To restore I'am using the

firmware B162 Android

.

2) Format the micro SD card that was clean (I was 8 gb, 2 class and be sure to FAT 32) and unpack "dload" folder and ".txt" file(with a strange name) from the downloaded archive to sdcard.

P.S. I say that not all flash drives can operate restore, I have like three went, normally only one.

3) Insert the micro SD into the phone and pull out the battery.

4) Hold down the Volume (+) and power up, hold and connect the phone via cable to your PC, your phone will be switched on and the logo appear, then turned off my phone (missing logo). So, when the logo will disappear (ie the phone will turn off) and immediately hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and power up.Main that the updating process can start only one time after the logo was gone, if after a few times in a row press both the volume keys and power up, updating does not start, it is necessary to re-clamp the volume (+) and the power up, after the disappearance of the logo, both the volume and the power up of ... I have to go to the upgrade process if you wrote "Update failed!", try again (I went with 2 times).

5) After a successful update, the phone will reboot, on reboot he should loaded the standard blue recovery.

6) Turn off the phone from the computer, insert the battery, hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and turn on, wait until you get a pink screen, release the button and connect it to your computer. You should see a new device and to define a disk drive with a folder "image". If we define - rejoice!) If not, then you need to install the driver on the internet enough to the driver, as well as the wood in my going to the Android SDK, not sure ...

7) Thus, we can assume the phone repaired) Download recovery 4.0.0.5 and unpack the archive and copy the file "recovery.img" to a folder "image" with the replacement. A man does not 4.0.0.5 recovery loaded, it is strange, but recovery 5.0.2.7 normally loaded

8.) Disconnect the phone from the computer, pull out / insert the battery and try to enter the recovery (volume (+) and power up).

9) If set, then everything is OK and can now be sewing. I still put 2.2 Geno v8.4 + software package from Google, but I recommend again read all instructions on the firmware, to avoid problems!

Good luck, hope that helped someone, he sat on the forums more than one day, but have not found a solution.
