You might get more help if you rename your topic title to something more descriptive.
Second, try searching the forum; this has been discussed in numerous threads on both this forum and the developer's section, along with how to fix it.
Try the threads about the update, or dialing a certain code to force it manually (that's where I learned the timing trick to get into stock recovery on the NS). On the screen you're at, try pressing and holding power, then pressing/holding volume up, that should get you into stock recovery.
Also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot flash the CWM recovery back to the device. If you made an nandroid before doing anything, you can at least go back to the device's state before you tried the update.

i could not find anything on this issue on google or here
i tried doing vol up and power, but its still at the screen, and my computer doesnt recognize my phone

use the instruction on the topic to ROOT the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
and in one of the steps you can use the ADB to push a good ROM back into the phone to be re-flashed

Try just pulling the battery.
If not, you'll have to use fast boot from the SDK. Just follow the howto at the top of this forum to flash original images.

thank you so much!
i locked my bootloader again, and i've been trying to get the 2.3.1 update, but everytime i do try, it freezes at the android warning sign. i also tried installing it via rommanager when i was rooted...whats going on?

any ideas what could be wrong?

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I wonder if part of your problem is that you relocked the bootloader. (Why'd you do that anyways? No advantage, imo.)
Fastboot oem unlock will completely wipe your phone, I mean WIPE EVERYTHING, including the sdcard (photos, music, some apps' data, etc), but such a wipe might get you back to stock firmware and stock recovery, then at least you could boot up. You could also then reflash CWM.
Before doing that, let's try this if you haven't:
Turn off phone.
Hold vol-up, then press/hold power.
You should then be in fastboot mode.
The timing's critical (on my phone anyways) for this step: Select recovery, and have your hands on the power button and volume button ready to push.
Watch the screen very closely, for a bout a half second or so, the screen will flash a box with an arrow dumping out onto the android dude. While that screen is showing, press/hold the power button, then press/hold the vol up button. Important to do the power button FIRST this time (at least it is on my phone).
You should then be able to get into the stock recovery.
Once there, maybe we can figure out where to go, but we need to know how messed up your phone is at this point.
Once in Recovery, you could try wiping cache if it's an option, then trying to reboot. Worth a shot, but not likely to work.
You could also do the factory reset wipe in there, this one shouldn't wipe your sdcard if there's anything critical/valuable on it. It will reset all your settings and logins and wipe the apps you've installed, though. Again, might let you boot up normally.

[SOLVED] [Q] Huawei U8180 First time Modder Problem

[SOLVED]
I rooted this, installed clockworkmod, then went and got an cm7 dated april something 2012 u8160 rom from psyke83 website.
installed it through clockworkmod install from sd card option with success (also clicked option to backup everything).
yet when phone reboots it hangs on the blue arrow in a circle spinning around, sometimes reboots n repeats but it never goes past that.
I have tried going into recovery mode holding down volume buttons and power
and I get 1 of 2 errors:
with sd card in:
firmware update
step 1/2
unpacking
update failed
with sd card out:
purple screen.
I am a first time android modder, can someone please, please tell me how to fix this. I can access the sd card with a reader if need be to put whatever files on it that I should.
Thank you.

Start the phone by pressing volume up + power OR volume down + power. You should be able to boot to recovery with one of those combinations (other one boots to fastboot most probably). After that do the wipe data/cache and try to reboot once again.
What was wrong in the beginning was that you did not wipe data/cache. That made the CM use old OS's data files which obviously won't work.
The unpacking thing was caused by pressing volume up + volume down + power. That causes the phone to go to upgrade mode if there is an update package found.

Nope. still goes to the blue arrow circling then freezes then reboots....

You are right about me not wiping the data/cache though...

But in your phone forum, are there tutorials on how to boot to recovery? Do you have any other hard keys on the phone?

there is one other button but that didn't work either.
I cannot find a forum for Huawei model u8180 (

Hmm, would this work?

yay!!
it was volume up + power + cancel button (? maybe home button? not sure on what this button is but its the biggest).
wiped all data n cache n then it booted properly.

So the problem is solved? If you can, mark first post title with [SOLVED].

[Q] Help! Tried to flash PA & now stuck on a loop

Ok, I flashed Trinity kernel with no issues, phone booted up ran great. Then I pushed PA to my phone to flash using the Nexus Root Toolkit and when it rebooted me into TWRP, I proceeded to wipe sys and dalvik and try to flash the zip. It failed. No big deal, some of my flashes have failed before on this N7. Not sure why, but I usually just reboot and press on. This time however, as it starts to boot I get a msg saying "unfortunately Setup Wizard has stopped" with an "ok" button, but when I press the "ok" button it just cycles back to the same button. I have tried powering down, but the Ok button sits on top of the power off confirmation button and so I can't even turn it off to reboot into recovery mode. Anyone got any suggestions? The toolkit won't seem to reboot it into recovery either, not sure why unless the ok button is overriding everything. Help?
UPDATE: I managed to get the trick of hitting the ok button fast enough to get to the power confirm button behind it, but when I boot it into recovery mode, I get the droid with the red ! mark and can't seem to get it to do anything else. I have tried booting into recovery from Toolkit, but it says I need to put it into USB debugging mode, which of course I can't do because I can't get past the failed setup...
UPDATE: Ok, I have managed to finagle it into resetting to factory stock ROM. So I have it up and running again and just have to start from scratch. But at least I am able to.

How'd ya do that

May I ask how you finagled it into resetting to factory stock ROM? I am having the same issue but not able to get out of the loop

Hold all three hardware buttons for 30 seconds and the device reboots to the bootloader. Then, fastboot flash the stock image.

You can get to the bootloader (fastboot mode) FROM ANY STATE.
Read that again - from any state.
See "bootloader interrupt" in this thread:

boot loop and not working recovery

i had a cyanogenmod for few months and this morning suddenly after i turn off my alarm clock the phone rebooted, and he now stuck in a boot loop of the cyanogenmod logo(blue circle), i tried to enter to recovery mode(power+vol down) and it shows me android with an ! logo and nothing else
i tried to flash with rsd 5.7 to stock and it still stuck on the boot logo(motorola logo) and still can't enter recovery mode
i tried to flash also to root sbf(BL7 if it matters) and the same thing
don't know what to do else, any help?
i have defy+
another problem that i have now that because i tried so many solutions that the battery is over and i cannot charge him(question mark on battery logo when i try to charge)
any help?
edit:i did the mcgyver solution to the battery, worked and i get to the bootloader with battery ok status, but still try every sbf and it stuck on "reboot your phone manually" on the rsd and when i get the battery out and put back in it just continue to loop =\

I've had that happen several times. Sometimes clearing Cache works. Most of the times you have to wipe /data partition with Custom Recovery. Now, after flashing with RSD you must go into Stock Recovery, and wipe /data with Stock Recovery. That will get your phone to boot up.
That "android with an ! logo" is the Stock Recovery. If you were on CM you would have had 2init installed, so to go to the Bootmenu/Custom Recovery, you have to press the VOL - button when the blue light turns on, not before, or else you might go to Stock Recovery.
When I flash with RSD, I always wait for the phone to reboot, and right when it reboots, I press the VOL + button so that it goes back into Bootloader, that way in RSD it shows the "Pass" message right away.

i tried to press vol - when the blue light turns on but still i get to the "android with an ! logo" (if i was not mention it, on this screen i don't have any text at all, just the logo with out any options)
so i cannot clear cache or wipe any thing =\
edit: when i need to see the blue light? because i get only red(to a second when i turn on) and white when it connected mcgyver style

Well, it seems like you've never used the Stock Recovery before. When you get to that screen you need to press both Volume + and - so that it shows the options.
With some stock SBFs I think you have to press the bottom left or right corners of the touchscreen for it to show the options, don't remember which side it is, and sometimes it's hard to hit the right spot, but it's there alright. Try with both volume keys first.
If you do manage to get it to show the options, do a Factory Reset, which wipes Data for you. Although, if you just flashed a stock ROM with RSD, there should be no blue light, just so you know.

oh silly me, never tried the vol + and vol - options, i now cleared cache and wipe dara/factory reset and tried to boot and.. it works!!! i don't believe it works! wow thank you a lot! now i'm returning to cm and hope it never happens again =]
why does it happen any way?(after few months of use)

defy stuck on boot loop
Mines doing this boot loop after running great for about 5 months. Seems I'll be able to get it back using methods detailed here. But is there a way I can keep my sms's bearing in mind I've not performed a back up for the last 5 months?

Anyone?
Does the advanced backup utility backup my sms data, so that i can do a wipe data factory reset?

Cant get into recovery after bad flash?

i downloaded todays update from CM 11 (d800 on att) and did the automatic reboot/flash but now im stuck on the CM11 loading screen. I left it there for an hour and it just keeps spinning. I can't seem to get to CMW recovery with the power+vol down combo (ive read different things, pressing power three times, etc) and nothing seems to work. Id REALLY like to not have to wipe this phone because ive got texts from a friend who recently passed and they arent backed up. any help would be incredible. THanks!!

Your chances of getting back into that phone without wiping are slim to none.
Here are the issues I've noticed with the power volume down scenario.
you can not be plugged into an outlet. you can't just hold power and volume down.
1)Get to the screen your bootlooping at.
2)Hold power until it reboots.
3)As soon as you feel the vibration of the phone as it starts press volume down and power
4)As soon as you see the LG Logo pop up release and then repress and hold volume down and power again.
5)Now press the enter button three times in the factory data reset screen and it will boot you into recovery.
