I installed an android 1.6 software to my phone and it wont boot up. i can get to recovery mode but my computer wont reconize my phone so i cant wipe and then intall a rom. what do i do
Why would you care if your computer can "recognize" (???) your phone?
Pull the sdcard out of the phone,
put it in your computer,
copy something you like onto it,
plug it back into your phone,
go to recovery,
write the thing you like.
done.

You install the rom through in the phone interface.
Boot into recovery mode and select the rom on your SD card that you want to flash.

you said in your first post you can get into recovery mode. So which is it?
Hi everybody,
I have a serious problem with my Ideos x5 (U8800). I tried to upgrade to the Aurora ICS ROM and bricked my phone. Some quick info:
- I have the Gingerbread update on my PC (dload/UPDATE.APP)
- I can't boot into recovery mode
- I can't access my sdcard
- I can boot into pink-screen mode
- Phone keeps rebooting itself when I try recovery mode
- Tried replacing boot.img and recovery.img with original files
- Before it started to reboot itself I tried recovery in CWM
I downloaded the Android SDK, but I have no idea what to do with it.
[EDIT] Ok, so I tried rebooting the phone with adb but it fails to recognize my device when I use "adb devices".
If anyone can help me get SOME kind of ROM installed, I would love you forever. I might even throw in some cash. I can't afford a new phone
Sincerely,
You need some micro sd reader/writer.
1. Format sdcard
2. Put dload folder witch contains GB update to root of sdcard
3. Take battery out
4. Plug usb in
5. Boot and press both volume keys while booting phone.
6. Update should start

Thanks for the answer.
I was thinking something like that myself.. I'll get a sd-reader tomorrow and get back here if it worked out or not.
[EDIT] Yep, as I suspected. It worked really good. A big thank you, fine sir!
Mods could delete thread or keep it for future reference for others.
Hi, I think this is my first post here. Anyway, here the question:
I have an Ideos X5 (not pro), it is bricked. So far, I have followed instruction for recoveries from several threads, but none of them worked because in my phone:
there is no boot screen
there is no pink screen
there is no logo
there are no images of any kind (screen wont even turn on)
it only vibrates when I plug it into my computer
Also *sometimes* the buttons light up and when this happens windows detect a new USB device, but after I while it dissapears again. Also, this happens only with the battery on.
The phone became bricked after I followed instructions to revert back to froyo from gingerbread (wifi wasn't working). All roms were originals from Huawei.
So, any suggestions??
Thanks in advanced.
I had a problem like you.I have deleted amss.mbn file because Huawei locked pink screen, it was bricked But i wasn't so patience enough, i sent my phone to technical care.But here are the answers, try it with caution:

Hi
Space is not enough to flash any ROMs;
Bootloader is locked,you could not edit that sector.
So is there a special ROM that is very small and allows to edit the bootloader?
Here is the MINI ROM:
http://www.mediafire.com/?7c33h84a974va28
Flash it than edit the bootloader~
NOTICE: I format the whole sector ,and the file including IMEI was missing
'Cause I don't know how to edit recovery or other system files like .mbn,
so just delete the abnormal big file and you would be able to flash any ROM s

Yes!!!! My phone works"!!!!!!!
Ok here's what I did
Download mediafire.com/?1hbk6n46hgamyt6
Unzip it, and find UPDATE.APP
Put UPDATE.APP in a dload folder and upload to empty sdcard.
Put sdcard in phone, and hold vol+/- and power and flash it.
After phone has restarted pull battery.
Download http://www.mediafire.com/?6hrfz36b8e2vw87
Unzip and copy the dload folder to empty sdcard.
Hold vol+/- and power and flash it.
After it fails near the end or if it restarts then pull battery.
Download a rooted boot.img and a clockworkmod recovery.img (got both mine from links at modaco)
Attach phone to PC in pink screen mode and delete the boot.img and recover.img files.
Upload the downloaded root.img and recovery.img to image folder in phone.
Download any custom rom from XDA, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475687 and upload it to sdcard
Pull battery.
Hold vol+ and power and go into clockworkmod, wipe everything and flash the custom rom!!
Good luck!

Tried taking off the battery for 10 seconds and after that inserted USB into computer (without battery)? Also try to take off battery and insert USB to wall-charger.
The buttons lighting up could be our way out, but if it only stays there for a couple of seconds it doesn't help. Can you see what Windows detects?
Hi again,
thanks for answering.
None of your suggestions worked anyway, because it won't even load anything from the sdcard, it just makes a short vibration and nothing more.
I managed to get the lights on again, but windows didn't show what kind of device it was, maybe because it's already installed but I'm not sure which usb device is it (windows did make a sound though, like "device is connected" sound). Also I noticed there's a red led blinking near the speaker, does that mean anything?
Anyway, tried to flash while the lights were up but it did nothing, and after two minutes the went off again.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
I connected the phone to my laptop with ubuntu, and despite I cannot do anything with the phone, there are two devices created in /dev: hiddev0 and hidraw0. Is there a way to flash the device using any of those files?
thanks again.
Worth a try on this post : Here
It is fried then
Try mounting those two devices, is there any file system recognized? It might not be bricked, but this is an issue probably nobody has had yet. Send it in for repair if it is still within warranty.
Important question: How did this even happen?

Hi,
thanks for all the help.
Sadly nothing works with this phone, I tried mounting and dd from the devices but nothing happens.
I guess I'll send it for repair (hope it's still within warranty)

Hi all,
I have a bit of a problem.
I had an old Oxygen (?) 2.3.? but wish to upgrade to ICS so after installing the 'official' 2.3.5 was following steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728.
I got up to the bit about installing Clockworkmod. When I tried to go into recovery mode for some reason (I must have screwed something up) it went back into the Firmware update (presumably because I still had the sd card with the 2.3.5 updated on it). It gets through the first step of the update but when it goes to start step 2 it comes up with 'Update failed'.
If I remove the sd card and try to start up normally I get the blue screen.
I can get to the pink screen but I'm not sure what to do from there.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
H.

Thanks for the suggestion. How do I see what is missing? I have tried various USB drivers but so far haven't found one that will mount the device. Do I need to use logcat with adb?
Any idea why it will no longer allow me to simply reflash the stock rom?
By the way, the device is the standard u8800 - not the -pro.
Cheers,
H.
Not in blue screen, you must go to pink screen mode(by pressing vol+/- end power when the device is turned off). There you'll be able to see the folder with the system files on pc.

Now I'm confused.
When I connect the phone to my Windows computer (tried XP and 7 in both pink and blue modes), the device does not register. Windows detects the new device and asks for drivers. I have tried different ones but none that I've tried so far will see the device. If someone could give me a link to drivers that definitely work I would be most grateful.
Like I said in my original post, if I leave the SD card in it tries to do the firmware upgrade but fails. Is there no way to 'reset' the phone somehow so that the firmware upgrade will go through? Perhaps downgrade to an older version first??
Thanks,
H.
There is not blue screen mode. Blue screen just shows that the system files don't exist. If recovery image doesn't exist you get a blue screen when you try to reboot to recovery mode. If you cannot boot normally, probably boot.img is erased(or maybe all system files which are on Image folder are erased).
Also if you had flashe an official rom version higher of B518, you probably have a locked pink screen, so it doesn' t matter if you have or not drivers because you cannot access the special partition which has the Image folder with all system files anyway.
Now, if the update proccess of official rom stops or second step(after unpacking proccess), probably a partition on the device is corrupted and the update cannot write to it. There is a special update, which you can flash with the same way as the official rom(put it on dload folder), and maybe can solve the problem. I' ve posted it on another thread here before some time. The filename is: update-160up
try to search the forum and hopefully you will find the thread(which has some isntructions and comments also).
You can try to flash a 2.2 official rom also. Maybe the update will succeed then.

Depending on your model you need to restore its pinkscreen stock files. The boot.img will fix the bluescreen. Heres oxygen's boot.img. Mount via usb to computer*

flashed normal gingerbread with update.app and update_custom.app in the dload folder. no luck, update failed. the phone does go into boot loop with huawei logo when power vol+- and plugged into external power. Help! I should say that i have recently upgraded it to official 2.3.5 firmware from 2.2 using and wanted to install dzo's aurora so i like others
"2. rooted with superoneclick
3. replaced .cust_backup/image/recovery.img with recovery.img (cwm5.0.2.7), by remount and es file explorer'
restarted, bang! blue screen restarted again with power vol-+ got pink screen but computer wont detect any storage on phone so i cant access the phone with the computer only via external sd card and the updates dont seem to work, i would like to try booting with froyo but cant find it anywhere....
so yeah, help, seems like game over to me!
Hello, I've a problem with my htc U Ultra (ocedugl). In fact, I upgraded supersu and when the phone was supposed to restart, I was stuck at the htc logo. I then had a backup of the boot and the system in reserve on my SD card, but when I wanted to restore them, I had the error 255. Only during the restoration of the system.
I do not know what to do, this phone is a real mystery to me. I have an internship tomorrow, not very practical suddenly. :/
The most problematic in all this is that twrp asks me for a password to decrypt the data at startup and I have the impression that I have only worsened the case. If anyone could help me quickly enough please.
PS: Me who I usually do alone, I must admit that I dry.
PS 2: I installed root switch for snapchat just before too, I do not know if that affects.

Turn off your phone. Press Power and volume down at the same time to boot in to download mode. connect to PC and flash TWRP
Install via ADB
Open the folder where your TWRP Recovery .img file is saved.
Then open a CMD window inside that folder. To do that, Shift + Right click on any empty white space inside the folder and then select Open command window here.
Connect your Android device to the PC. Type the following into the command window to boot your device into bootloader/fastboot mode:
Once your device boots into download mode, type this into the command line.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-1.img
Once TWRP is successfully flashed on your device, you can use TWRP now

HTC u ultra Oreo messed up my phone and now I need help.
My story:
Bought a HTC U Ultra European.
I was kind of satisfied with it. The device didn't really live up to my expectations. But when it was upgraded to Oreo the screen start to flash when opening apps and Bluetooth sound went bad. It looks like the app opens twice. After a while it went even worse with the flashing.
Anyways I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP 3.2. That process went fine then I wanted to flash leedroid to test something else (yes I saved a recovery file).
The result is now my device is working but I'm unable to flash twrp again. Since Oreo still sucks to u ultra and I want to downgrade to nougat since it works.
My adb (Linux) detects my device but when I start my HTC in download mode I'm unable to flash to since my PC says:
<waiting for device>
When I try to start it in recovery mode it sticks in a reboot loop.
And BTW I can't restore factory settings.
So if anyone can give me any answers it would be great.

I already installed drivers and tried other cables. Did the procedure again bit with no results.
I think the big problem actually is that since the phone can't boot into recovery mode it get messed up.
I try to do a hard reset but every time I either get stuck in a bootloop or the phone boots into regular mode. So I literally can't do anything to fix this problem as far as I know.
Getting a little bit of frustrated over here.

Because I can't boot to recovery mode. Either I get stuck in a boot loop or the device boots just like I rebooted it. So I can't get to twrp and I can't flash anything. I can't hard reset either. All I can do is reboot, enter bootloader and enter download mode.
So I guess I'm stuck with Oreo that's a mess on my device.
