[Q] So I think something bad just happened... - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

G'day,
I was about to flash the new CWM and thus hit VOL+, VOL- and POWER to get to the purple screen.
When Windows detected the sdcard, it threw up a message saying something like 'scan and fix' because the sdcard was faulty. Because Winamp keeps popping up asking me if I wanted Winamp to manage the sdcard as a portable device, I was already mid-click and thus accidentally hit 'scan and fix' instead of cancelling out of it.
Now the sdcard contents is nothing but a directory called FOUND.000 and a file called 'FILE0000.CHK' (4.90MB).
I suspect this is a very bad thing.
I can still read/write to the sdcard, and I have a backup of "amss.mbn" and "EMMCBOOT.MBN" as recommended a while back before flashing things.
Whats the best way to proceed from here?

maybe you can ask someone to send u the files that are suposed to be on it...

Things are simple, as long as you can still access the bootloader (pink screen).
Format the partition with FAT32, create a folder called "image" and copy the following files on there.
EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v
Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac
Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97
Remove the battery, then boot into recovery by pressing Vol+ and Power. From there on, you should know what to do...

Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
That worked perfectly
For my own future reference, I rehosted those files here:
http://www.filedump.net/Uploads/Library/Android/Huawei/U8800/internal_sd_contents/
... other people may find those useful too. I rehosted them mainly because those download sites have a horrible habit of removing files randomly, or suddenly deciding you arent allowed to download any more today just when you need the files.
Thanks again, I'm back into MIUI and breathing a sigh of relief. Though it would have been a good excuse to get a Samsung Galaxy Note

which hspl do i need

i have stock spl 2.10.0000 which version spl do i need to flash?
I presume with that spl that you have a TMO US 1024 HD2? You'll need to try to revert to spl 2.08.0000 before you can use HSPL_1024.
Flash an earlier version of the TMO US rom (ie the 2.10 rom) from the sd card. You can find it here - http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html
hey thx for replying back so fast but when i goto link i dont undetsyand which file to click. also i posted in the mod hack upgrade section and no one answered do u think you could check that out?
Click on the Leo 2.10 folder - inside you will find the rom file (2 parts) - RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.part1.rar and RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.part2.rar
Download these and then unpack them with WinRAR. I haven't downloaded the files, but you'll probably get an .exe file. Right click on this and select "Extract Here", one of the files extracted should be a LEOIMG.nbh (or ***.nbh) file. Copy that to your sd card and flash from there. There is also a RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.txt file at that location, so try download that also and see what instructions it gives.

after you put the file onto your sd card, and rename it leoimg.nbh
, you restart the phone into bootloader and it flashes, , nothing to do with the pc at all.
well now im making some progress. i renamed that file to leoimg. then powered down then held volume down and then yellow button. it did nothing, then i turned it back on. this time i did volume and yrllow button. it came to the green blue red white screen did nothing. so i renamed the file again this time added .nbh. did it again. nothing. what gives? where on sd card does it need to be?

Be sure that the file is really named "leoimg.nbh". Do you have hidden extensions enabled in the OS!? If the file is correctly named and still a no go, try with other sdcard.
if you have a 16gb card you should deff try find a smaller card.
sorry it took a while to reply. the file i got was named romupdate.nbh. how do i enable hidden extensions? and why do i need a smaller sd card?
cos lots (not all, but a good number) of people using teh stock 16 gb card have had problems, , , some have had problems with 8gb, and less have had probs with 2gb cards.
if you can see the .nbh part of romupdate, then you dont need to worry about showing extensions. Just rename it leoimg.nbh and copy to sd.
also.

you dont go near the yellow button to enter bootloader.
phone off
press hold and keep holding vol down
tap and release power
release vol down only when bootloader starts.

[Q] newb trying Dextermod 1.3

I downloaded the Dextermod 1.2 without issue to my sd card, but applying mod didn't not show android market but did erase any apps loaded from appoke market. So I found and tried to download 1.3, but it does not ask to change file name and then says download unsuccessful in the notifications bar. Tap it and get popup, "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone." So I try the 1.2 mod again and get the same message. Anyone else with this problem or can help me with a fix?
Downoad it on a computer and put it on your sd, android webkit browser doesnt like zip files.
Rename it Update.zip before running.
Looks like your new like me. I downloaded to sd card. (make sure card is clean. I had a problem with that first-no windows files) Also I downloaded file from my pc to the card in a dongle Then transfered card to the A7. went to file manager. found the file on the card (elocitymodv13) under sdcard\sdcard-disk0 and then press on it until menu came up and hit rename and then renamed it update.zip. finally go through the routine of powering off A7, then hit power key for 2 seconds, let off, and then hit power button again until message comes on screen about entering recovery mode.
Then use the menu key on side of screen to enter recovery menu once the android image shows up. you then need to use search key and back key on side of screen to move up and down the menu. First move highlight down to "Wipe/factory reset" and hit menu button to apply command. (Dexter recommends wiping the slate clean to ensure proper function of his mod.) When that is done, you will see the menu again and move down to "apply sdcard:update.zip" and hit menu buttom to apply command. this will then put the new mod. on the system. The only other thing that will be neccessary is to go back and download the "ElocityMod v1.3 bluetooth fix" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890042 . This update gets applied the same way as above except you dont obviously need to use the wipe/factory reset command again. This will give you bluetooth function back. I hope this is clear enough.
I have been trying since I got the thing to tether it to my windows mobile phone. Good luck with that. I still haven't found an answer. take care.
file name
as stated
download the file to your computer. then rename it to update. Just
update
You don't need to put .zip at end because its already a zip file. Then transfer it on to your sd card. Easiest way is to open your My computer drag and drop to the dir that is sd card on your computer that way it automatically goes into the root of the sd card.
then do the as stated flash update procedure.

Jesus, this just doesn't stop.
The file NEEDS TO BE Update.zip
Please read the writeup I just made this morning describing why people are getting screwed up on this, how to fix it, and why I rag on people like you who put out misinformation.

Download the latest Acer stock ROM to your PC (many stock roms found on this page). Transfer it to your external SD card and make sure to rename it "update.zip". Boot holding down volume and power until you see lines of text, then let it do it's thing
thanks for the info! I found a ROM on this thread.. not sure if its the latest 3.1 build.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154492
so I downloaded it to my PC.. comes as a ZIP file.. "update_3.1".. do I unzip folder & renamed it "update.zip"? or do I leave it zipped, rename it and transfer to SD card & boot up? again thanks for the help
Leave it named update.zip do not unzip
downloaded the update_3.1 file from that thread.
renamed folder "update.zip", left compressed.
transferred to external SD card on phone.
placed SD card into tablet, booted up by holding the power & volume button.
take you into SD update cmd: recovery..
its looking for the folder..
then comes on the android logo with an exclamation point!

If you downloaded it from the first link, the file needs to be decrypted first. I believe the second link on that page from megaupload is already decrypted. But that would be where the problem is.
And yes that is the latest build from Acer for the US!
I'm not sure what you mean.. consider me a noob at this.. never installed a ROM before.. encrypted or decrypted.. what would be what I need? couldn't find that second link you mentioned..

Right on! You know you can use clockwork mod to backup your system so it doesn't happen again.
You should use one of these versions, since your in the US.
4.010.07_COM_GEN2
4.010.08_COM_GEN2
4.010.11_COM_GEN2
4.010.13_COM_GEN2 (latest, not sure if it's posted anywhere yet)
The .40 version is not a US build.
interesting.. not sure what the difference is but can someone please post up 4.010.13_COM_GEN 2 & a how-to-install!

4.010.13 isn't a full rom like the one posted, merely an update.it can be obtained by simply checking for an update in "about device" in settings

I am stuck a blue screen -.-

Guys I am desparate, I mean I tryed all steps for everything I did STEP by STEP! After reading them many times, and also reading the comments and anyways after a research!
I tryed to do it slowly and carefully!
And now my phone is bricked as hell with a blue screen at startup, not allowing me to do ANYTHING
please help asap!
Everything happened after I managed to root my phone, with 2.3.5 official ROM!
sounds like you have corrupted/wiped some of the internal partitions. Have you made linux backup? It would save you at the moment.
Sent from my U8800 using xda premium
You could ask for someones linux backup and try to restore it in your phone. Also have you formatted something from mounts/storage?
I have done the steps you describe many times without any problems, so you have done too little or too much. Maby you flashed corrupted recovery in .cust_backup?
Sent from my U8800 using xda premium
Yes its propably about the recovery, that was actually what I did before the blue screen!
I aint have linux back up :/
How can I find? And if I do find, how do i use it?
i have the same problem, when i trying to istall ICS aurora. Help me
Not everything is lost.
I also did a stupid thing and deleted the partitions via CWM. Afterwards I saw the blue screen of death..
The phone came alive using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369296
I knew that the pink screen was not there but when I tried the above process without the battery my phone begun the upgrade and everything came back to normal
If it wont start the upgrade try to do the following.
Take out the sd card and put the battery back inside.
Then connect the phone with a usb and wait to see the battery charging icon.
Afterwards disconnect the usb, take out the battery, put the sd card back in, connect the usb and try again to flash the dload folder using the two volume + power buttons.
That's how i did it
Thankyou, that worked like a charm for me
Pink screen and dload
I have a problem.
I have placed new folder "dload" on the root directory (the one with pink screen ), but I forgot to place anything inside that folder. So now when I reboot the phone it tries to update firmware but it can't because there isn't anything inside the "dload" folder. It says Update failed. Now I just need to access to this folder again to put something in but I can't. I need this pink screen back. Please help.
Thanks

This problem you describe is not that big.
All you need is to put your sd card to another phone and copy the necessary files from there.

Assuming you have the U8800 regular model(not pro or plus)
Check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728065
There is a link there to an update16.zip(or some similar name) file, which maybe helps you.
Make a dload folder on root of your sdcard and then extract all files and folders of the archive in there. Then with battery off and device connected with usb cable, power it on with the same key combination which you use to get the pink screen. Hopefully the update will start and clean things. Then you can flash the official rom(delete all contents of the dload folder and put there the UPDATE.APP).
