No Pink

I was wondering if Ubuntu could solve my issue if I have no Piink screen. My phone will not turn on ever since i tried to do the update. It said that the updated failed so i turned the phone off and then nothing. No matter what I do it (pull battery 3 button restart or 2 button restart plugged in to pc or not) all I get is a small vibration no screens no nothing just a buzz. Do you think this will work for me? If not could you direct me to the proper technique? I have been searching and searching with no luck. Thanks in advance for any help.

What? So do I need Linux system to restore full flash?

Edit. Now sudo command is working but mint@mint isn't. How to enable that in windows? Guide isn't very good at all, very difficult to understand.

Edit 2: Step 4 is weird. Do I need to write both of those commands to cmd or just the first one?

present condition:

my ideos x5 u8800 can only enter in:

1. blue screen (default power on)

2. pink screen (power,vol+,vol-)

past condition:

1.i had upgraded it to official 2.3.5 firmware from 2.2 using (copy dload folder to sdcard and powering on with vol+&- button)

2. rooted with superoneclick

3. replaced .cust_backup/image/recovery.img with recovery.img (cwm5.0.2.7), by remount and es file explorer

4.now started with cwm 5.0.2.7 to install custom rom

5. i wiped cache, system, dalvik cache, after that formatted /boot , /system,/cache,/data

sorry for bad english
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
If you formatted boot, you erased the .cust_backup partition which are all system files: recovery.img, boot.img etc.

You must reinstall official 2.3 from the begining, and do not format /boot anymore.

but how can i reinstall official 2.3??

conditions:

Please be kind and answer my (Dumb) questions in red font color. Thankyou

Requirements:

u8800 with accessible pink screen

linux box Where do I get this

Download HUAWEI_U8800_FullFlash.rar and extract it

Steps:

Pull out the battery and sdcard from your phone.

Connect your phone using USB cable to your computer while pressing the vol up and vol down to get to the Pink Screen.

Unmount any newly mounted disks/partitions of your phone. How would I do that please

Do in Terminal How can I access the terminal

sudo dd if=/path/to/HUAWEI_U8800_FullFlash.bin of=/dev/device_name

with "device_name" is the device name alocated to the U8800. It can be "sdb", "sdc", "sdd", "sde", etc. How to find out the Device Name

Example (my case):
mint@mint ~ $ sudo dd if=/media/Data/u8800/HUAWEI_U8800_FullFlash.bin of=/dev/sdc

what is 'mint@mint ~ $'. Does the code start from 'sudo dd if=/media/Data/u8800/HUAWEI_U8800_FullFlash.bin of=/dev/sdc'

Wait for it... It took me 1,5 hours!

Output (my case):
mint@mint ~ $ sudo dd if=/media/Data/u8800/HUAWEI_U8800_FullFlash.bin of=/dev/sdc

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Gant:
Did you backup your IMEI before doing this?

If you did, now just root the phone and restore the IMEI and all should be fine.

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

After the flash my phone changed IMEI and MAC address. I had an IMEI backup that I restored (after root).

The mac address remained the new one.

If you install Aurora ICS you should be able to change Mac Adress. In GB oficial it does not seem to be possible.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Experiences:
Thanks a lot! it worked.

for those who find this complicated as i did, i'm explaining it like you and i are 5 year olds so i can also read this if i need to do this again. :D

download that rar and extract the file to the local disk D of your pc. (not C), you may also extract it on a usb stick.

you also need ubuntu.

windows installer for ubuntu, wubi, will do it so that you don't need a usb drive or a dvd.

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer

you just need to run it and install it just like you are installing a new software. I gave it 20 gb, made it English (US) and made my password 1

after it downloads the iso, it wants you to reboot the computer and installs ubuntu and then reboots again.

As your computer starts, choose "Ubuntu" from the menu.

Now,

Pull out the battery and sdcard from your phone.

Connect your phone using USB cable to your computer while pressing the vol up and vol down to get to the Pink Screen.

Press the windows key on your keyboard and search disks and open the first one.

Click the 4gb tab on the left, which is your phone and it will show something like a "train" on the right section, which are the file partitions of yout phone. click them in order and check the bottom of them if it has the option "unmount", any of them may have it and you need to unmount all of them in order for this to work.

don't forget to check your phone's name at the top of that disc window, it should be something like /dev/sdb, /dev/sda, /dev/sdc.

after you have unmounted all of those partitions, press windows key on your keyboard again.

if you have put the .bin file you have downloaded to the local disk d, right click on it and copy the "target", which is something like /home/yourusername/something/HUAWEI_U8800_FullFlash.bin

if you have put the file on a usb stick, copy it on the desktop and right click on it and copy the "target", which is something like /home/desktop/HUAWEI_U8800_FullFlash.bin

press the windows key on your keyboard and search terminal, open it.

you need to copy the bin's path which you got by right clicking and paste it after if), (you also need to copy-paste your device's name that you got from the top of the disc section)

type on terminal something like this with your own information:

sudo dd if=/root/Desktop/HUAWEI_U8800_FullFlash.bin of=/dev/sdc

Enter.

If it doesn't give any errors, it will have done after 1 or 1.5 hours. There may appear some text or not, don't worry. just wait and also don't let ubuntu to go sleep, which requires you to move your mouse every once in a while.

After it's done, it will say some thing like this:

7733248+0 records in
7733248+0 records out
3959422976 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 5402.43 s, 733 kB/s

Now just unplug your phone and put the battery in. Done. :D

Android 2.2 froyo extract the "dload" folder and copy it to the root of the sd card.

Turn on your phone while holding VOL+ and VOL to pink screen.

After the update again turn on your phone while holding VOL+ and VOL to pink screen.

Connect to computer and browse your phone to folder image with recovery.img.

Replace the recovery.img with recovery 5.0.2.7.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty Arceus493:
As the title says, I was wondering how much the Nexus 4 would cost if I traded in my Nexus S at any store in Australia that would sell this beast.

The Nexus 4 that I want is the 16GB version which will be $400 in Australia, but could anyone give a rough estimate of the Nexus 4 price if I traded in my Nexus S for it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unlawful:
Places actually trade phones here? Never noticed that... Anywho, if they did, I'd really doubt they'd give you too much off considering it's trade-in (my guess is as good as yours but don't expect any more than what you'd get by selling the Galaxy Nexus yourself). I mean take a look at game consoles, they have horrid trade-in deals and just aren't worth it unless it's really just collecting dust.

If you sold it yourself, you could probably sell one $200-$250 at the moment depending on how quickly you want it to sell. Maybe use that for an estimate on the trade-in price.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcgtreize:
I agree to this previous post, I don't live in Australia but for us, european citizens, problematic is the same.

Google will sell the Nexus 4 for €350 including tax + approximately €10 S&H.

Some distributors are on this price, they are buying a new...new..new Nexus S without any defects €63.

Today, an average Nexus S can be sold around €150, €180 maximum.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty Arceus493:
Well for me, that's a fair price considering I'll get a lot of money for Christmas (Minimum $200) and that money + trading in Nexus S = barely any of my own money for the Nexus 4. And I know some stores that trade, otherwise, selling my Nexus S would be another option.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lathanub:
Hopefully it's not like an EB Games trade-in and you get $5 off the price of the Nexus 4 when you trade in six old phones and a bunch of accessories with it, too! Haha. Which store would you go to to trade it in, though? I can't think of any stores in Australia that would let me trade in my older phone for a better price on a newer one. I think Mobicity do it but they are just an online store.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty Arceus493:
My first choice is JB Hi-Fi, and because they have the SGS 3 and Nexus 7, the chances are that they'll sell the Nexus 4. If they don't do trades, I might still buy it but $400 is pretty expensive for me. I was wishing that it would be $350 like it is in America, but Australia almost always gets a more expensive price :(

My second choice would be at my local shopping centre and keep searching until I find the right store. If I can't find a single store that sells the Nexus 4 and accepts trades, I'll just sell my Nexus S.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unlawful:
I don't believe JB do trade-ins for phones (I know they do for games). And about the price thing, it's really not that much more compared to America. We have GST included in the shown price whereas they don't so you have to add their state tax (not sure on the percentage but it comes out to be pretty close).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty Arceus493:
Hmmm... I might ask JB Hi-Fi about the Nexus 4 price :/

Then my other two options are:

1. Sell my Nexus S

2. See if JB Hi-Fi (Or any other store) can do any offers
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unlawful:
The price should be about the same every (~$400 for the 16GB version and ~$350 for the 8GB one). Anywho, good luck!

I just got my Galaxy Nexus off eBay and I bought ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Samsung Galaxy Nexus Screen Protector Shield with Lifetime Replacements

$9.95 from Amazon.com

I bought one an ArmorSuit shield for my Nexus 7 and it is GREAT.

I posted a review on Amazon.com, basically stating:

FLAWLESS installation. No bubbles, no overhangs, no dust. No "orange peel" texture like you get on the other brand (rhymes with Bagg). Save Money and get this TOP QUALITY protector. When I showed my Nexus 7 to my friends, they couldn't even tell that it had a screen protector on, and this one on my Galaxy Nexus looks just as great!

If you follow the instructions, (it is a wet install- but super easy) and take your time, you should get similar results. I will never buy any other brand of screen protectors.
