What is the reason for renaming the step 2 update.app ? Which step flashes update_g.app? Can you also upload links to official stock roms besides the huaweidevice pages?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] metallforest:
Well i've tried with stock GB recovery and didn't work. it get stuck on step one and says "Update Failed" also the led start blinking in red. And after first time removing the battery and starting by pressing the ON button only the system starts normally (Kalo's extreme starts in my case like nothing happened)

Step two never starts! Am I missing something?

I almost forgot to mention that inside the dload folder theres a new file called: sd_update.log

it says this: Failure: OSBL°æ±¾¼ì²éÊ§°Ü. dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!

Now I've tried this solution and my phone got F·/$!"ed up... :( only a blue screen is all I see.

Never format boot ...

You delete the contents of image folder.

Get in pink screen , and put the files inside image folder again.

Hope you have a backup of image folder on your pc .

here the stock image folders ( froyo and GB ) ... http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?b3qkwulqemswxfq

Much apreciated dude! But it didn't work. Yes, I did a backup of my image folder but it didn't work either. So I did a complete reinstalation of Froyo through Roadkill's Disk Image and it worked! xD Now i can install updates without any trouble at all.. :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Sorry dude but this is for U8800 pro ..

You have a U8800-51 and you want to flash official firmware for U8800pro ...

I don't know if the procedure is the same ..

You have to tell that you have an U8800-51 , so users can help you ... i cannot help properly cause i have a Pro ..

Use guides to flash roms for U8800-51 , it will be more helpfull for you ..

Which rom I should install as official? Froyo, gb? And where I can download them?

BTW I am now on 4.2.2 so my way to official Froyo would be to get official GB first? but for it what recovery or image should I use? Will gingerbread version fit?

Hi gkalenis,you always advice to flash B572 but i think i have problem of B572 whenever i try to flash official B572 my IMEI becomes 0..why it's happened..but in official B521 everything is good..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I don't think that i advice anyone to flash B572 ...

For downgrade from ICS to GB you need step 2 from official gb ... so you can flash any step 2 you like.

BUT, for upgrade from froyo to GB, you need the full pack from an official GB ... so the full pack is only with B572 and B512 .... B521 hasn't have all needed steps for upgrade from froyo to GB ...

So B572, or B512 is the best pack for upgrade (froyo-gb).... and for downgrade (ics-gb) you can use any official you like.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cuvetto:
You made a mistake, I have the B521 version with all 3 steps as the B572 and B521 .....

This is the link: http://www.uloz.to/xL4HTXf/u8800pro-gb521-rar

Huawei's link, don't have any other step, except, step 2 ...

I download official firmwares from huawei's site ... i don't know other links ..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
i have written on the b928 thread..anyway gkalenis. here lemme copy paste it.

now after reading your instructions. i tried with the stock gb recovery too still the step1 or any steps basiccally doesnr unpack. it just stays like that no pink bar loading..tried for 5mins in the first step1 where it ususally takes 3-4secs...

here take a look. it is stuck right here...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pauliuxxx:
its probably because of non-stock recovery
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
I have tried with twrp and stock recovery both same results

They dont know anything abiut softwares only they know is hardware. And i had it earlier tok before upgrading to ICS.

And B865 is Indian GB

He can do that ... but it's strange version (b865..:eek:) , never heard such a version, never ....:confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
probably a local india version,like that old 2.2 lithuanian version,it should work the same unless it has some weird hidden locked stuff..!Or he could wipe the whole image folder if he has an old backup
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
I have the b865 image backup.. but the issue is if i format system and update.app fails again i cant boot into the device.

-Rik[Rittik]
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Try what, korekore1 says or go to service center for upgrade to ics.

I think that you have problems, because of your official version.

In Greece the official GB is the international B521 .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
Official ics is not for India its for China and european versions. Thats the reason i cant go to Service centre. And according to korekore i will use CWM to wipe system? Then try flashing update.app?

-Rik[Rittik]

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

One more question to u guys. If i flash ICS rom on GB base will the rom boot up? And if it boots up and i change image in pink screen with official b928 ics image dumo then will it like completely work?

-Rik[Rittik]
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
It will not work like that ..

Probably the rom will boot, but no wifi , bluetooth, and some apk's will crash.

Did you try to flash step2 of an official GB (european version b521 or chinese b572)???

Maybe if you managed to flash, official GB, and after that probably you can upgrade to ICS.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
Oh any link for official GB step 2? I will try that patching over your CM7.2 i will change recovery too CWM or Stock?

Again IMEI became '0' after flashing b521 from ics

I replaced recovery with stock recovery of 2.3 from image folder uploaded by gkalenis. But now again , my phone's IMEI is hsowing up as '0' . Last month only i had the same problem, and gave it to service center for 3 weeks. Now again, does it work from ics -> gb using stock recovery(2.3) , b521 dload . How its failing for me twice. And i dont know what to do next. Am really let off...

This tutorial in there, saved my phone. Thanks pika. I followed the step by step procedure, and downloaded the appropriate DBAdapter_Reserved_Interface drivers from internet from my OS ( win 7 32 bit ) . It worked fine.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] likenatural:
General warning.

Moving from ics - > official GB, 521 or 572 have erased our imei to be '0'. Has happened to me twice. For [MENTION=4327728]Rittik[/MENTION] also it happened ( Am not sure if it happened for him from ics -> gb or otherwise). But it never happened when we flash to ics from GB, But when we flash GB . Have used stock GB recovery only while flashing. Just to sound caution, posting this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
I was changing GB base from B865 to 521 used stock recovery. So yea lost my imei that way.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
People, there is an app (5irontoolbox) , which you can take backup of your imei , on Pika's thread (mentioned before few posts).

I have on both phones 3 imei backups (froyo,gb,ics).

On my phone i didn't lost my imei.

But on the other phone after testing some scripts, accidentally a script formated my image folder and after that my imei was zero(0).

So, now everytime i downgrade or upgrade my imei turns to zero and i restore it everytime with 5irontoolbox.

I have to tell you also that, EVEN if you have a clockworkmod backup and restore it, then your imei still remains zero (0).

I test it myself.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
That's totally what's my point is. All phones are manufactured differently. The Board which I had earlier before sending to service centre was much better. When they changed it now i am having all sorts of problems including imei.

I can say just one thing. People having old X5pro can upgrade downgrade without any worries.

Ok i had the same problem. Do this.

Open up your battery from phone. Plug in phone to pc using USB cable(to give it power) then use the buttons combination. It should work that way. Remember please use a SD card. Dont make dload on Internal Storage(this leads to Hard brick)...and please take an imei backup using 5IromToolbox or else you will end up like me.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] herna:
Let me help you, just follow all steps I am gonna write you now and you will have it good, okey? :P

1. Download that ZIP from that link CLICK HERE

2. Open the zip and you will see 3 steps, so take the first dload folder inside step 1 and paste to your sdcard, not internal card, SDCARD.

3. Take out the battery of your phone, connect the phone to charge without battery and make power button+volumeup+volume down and the same time. After that a bar will appear, just wait to finish. Maybe it reboots you into CM 7.2 again. If it make that just wait and turn off the phone again.

4. Delete the dload folder from sdcard and paste there the step2 dload folder, after that again turn off phone and without battery connect to charge and make power button+ volume up+ volume down at the same time. It will take more time. When it finish it must boot you into ICS. We didn't finish.

5. Delete the dload folder on sdcard, and paste the step3 dload folder, and make again without battery, the phione turned off and connected to charge the same step, power button+ volume up+ volume down at the same time, after that it will reboot, just wait it to go on ICS again, do not touch anyhting. One time you are on ICS, download that zip CLICK HERE

6. Delete again the dload folder on sdcard and paste the one is inside the zip you have just download. After that again with phone turned off and withou the battery and connected to charge make power button+ volume up+volume down at the same time and wait it to get you on ICS.

7. After that download that file CLICK HERE

8. One time you downloaded the file, rename it to recovery.img, then turn off phone, extract your sdcard and connect the phone to pc. When phone is connected to pc just make power button+volume up+volume down and the pink screen will appears, then go on image folder on your pc and replace the recovery.img , and then take out the cable, insert battery and turn on your phone. You will bea able to install any 4.0.4/4.1.2/4.2.2/4.3 ROM you want :P HOPES IT HELPS YOU!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] habunath:
its working now! than you very much herna :highfive: though this "official" ics is lagging like hell compare to cm 7.2.. time to hunt those jb roms
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] herna:
I am glad you could made it, now you can install any custom ROM you find. Like you are new on ICS baseband, you must install that ROM CLICK HERE Download and paste on your sdcard, now go on recovery, it will be TWRP, you just need to:

1. Make a backup

2. After that Wipe data/factory reset

3. Wipe Cache

4. Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Format System

6. Install the zip

7. Reboot and enjoy!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Yes this one, no matter if it's in Downgrade section , this is the official GB rom, you can use the files for upgrade or downgrade, it's the same.

Can you please help. What should I do now?

Can be the problem, that USB debugging in phone is not ticked?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Check, dload folder again and delete the log file inside.

After that you can do the same step without battery, just hold vol+ , vol- and power on and connect usb cable.

If update fails again, then you must do the procedure with another sd card, your card cannot do the upgrade procedure.

Use a sandisk sd card, upgrade and downgrades never fails with sandisk ( i test this a lot of times ).

Everytime which upgrade fails, you must delete log file inside dload folder and start again.

You must try with usb cable without battery, if everytime fails then you must do it with other sd card.

Gingerbread's interface is very nice. Also speed is higher.

But one thing is worse. Camera. In Froyo were pictures and movies nicier than in iPhone5. But in Gingerbread it has less shining and bright. It is impossible to set it manually. Today I am going to install Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), but now from official support of Huewai.

Maybe camera will be set as good as in Froyo.

I thought, Huewai puts special settings for its camera in order to get best result.

But after installing ICS in my first look, i think it is not as good as in original Froyo.

Now I am thinking about Android 4.4 KitKat. Do you suggest to install it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Do as you wish from now on.

You jump to ics without test GB based roms, now you can test only ics + roms, i don't think you'll gonna find a rom with well working camera on 4.+ roms ... anyway you must try some roms now, official roms sucks ...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You will find more problems soon.

Continue flashing roms until you find your desired rom.

You must know that you can flash only 4.+ roms , DO NOT flash GB based roms cause they don't work properly.

Στάλθηκε από το u8800pro μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk 2
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vladinko0:
I am focused on camera's performance. Is there any rom covering this issue?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You told about camera at your firsts posts, but you jump to ics before you try a GB rom.

Anyway now you must test all the roms 4.+ , maybe you will find a rom that covers your needs.

Personally prefer GB roms , i have a rom for ics baseband ( IceDroid V1 ) , you can try it though it's not my favorite , at least camera works.

There are also a lot of 4.+ roms that you can flash, try them all and if you're not happy with those roms then you can try to downgrade to Official GB again and try a GB based roms.

Hope you'll find something that will fits your needs.
