Hello, my u8800 just died..
i got a blue screen a couple of time and had to pull the battery.
now it is completely dead... ? how so?
it was running MIUI just fine and i just rebooted it and got a blue screen..
What happens if you press and hold Vol+,Vol- and Power?
Can you still get into Bootloader?
Bluescreen usually wipes the Bootloader, but you can fix that if you can still access it...
In case you lost all the data in 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
If you can't access the Bootloader (pink screen), I'm afraid it's going back to warranty.
same thing happened to mine, still trying to fix it. managed to flash CWM recovery like that but now factory reseting leads me no where, of course, and restoring a backup from the sd didn't work either, all i get is a bootloop.
i'm so very lost please help, tell me what you need to know to help me
DON'T factory reset or restore a backup! Once you've had a blue screen, you CAN'T restore or factory reset a Rom.
You should flash a custom Rom directly. Just copy the Oxygen.zip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u8800oxygen/files/) in the root folder of the SD card and then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
Flash the new Rom by Selecting "install zip from SD" and select the Oxygen.zip archive, the installation process does everything else.

Thanks GOD!
It was completely dead, but when i wake up this morning i got it on with bluescreen again, hooked it up with my pc and copied the files u linked.
now it seems MIUI is booting fine again!
but how come it got wiped in the first place?
Not sure to be honest...It's some sort of miscommunication between bootloader and Rom (kernel) and Huawei designed a fail-over mechanism that wipes the bootloader (screen becomes blue when this happens).
Anyway, glad to hear that you got it going again.
wow thanks katu2006 xD I just realised how stupid I was
you see this whole thing happened, I think, because I tried formatting a NTFS sd card I put in the phone. I wanted to put files bigger than 4GB in it...
so when I got the blue screen and then managed to boot into CWM recovery, all I had to do was flash a ROM, I knew that, but my internal sd card was wiped clean and I couldn't access it in my PC when I plugged the phone. then I just figured I should get another sd and put MIUI in it and then stick in the phone LOL it's working fine now, thanks a lot
Glad to hear that you problem was resolved as well.
I have the same problem with my U8800. And I follow your direction and I can log in to the Miui rom, but it has the notification "Blank SD card or unsupported file system" and ask me to format the SD card. But when I format the SD card, it change into the blue screen again in the next reboot time. What should I do.

OK, you should copy the SD Card contents to your computer, format it with FAT32, copy the folders back and then try to boot in Recovery and reinstall Miui again.
I also had such a problem. And as in your situation, my solution was to copy those files into 'image' folder. Though, blue-screen-trouble is still actual and we have to blame only huawei-guys
Is your IMEI allright? after some of theese operations, I had mine nulled.

I beg to differ - for me when I had a blue screen yesterday - tried everything other than reflash. In the end I pushed a clockworkmod backup to the internal sd card via adb, did a restore and problem solved.

Blue screen
I was stuck with a blue screen for days after i formated the internal mem, i got stuck until I came across your post . downloaded the files to image folder and here i am with a working phone, thanks a million.
I wanted to run a custom ROM on my A500 (first attempt at installing custom ROM), but i'm now stuck at the boot animation.
I downgraded my A500 to 3.0.1, rooted, installed clockwork mod, upgraded cwm to 1.5. So far so good.
Then i downloaded thor rom v12, copied it to the external sd card (by putting it on USB thumb drive, transfer to tablet, copy to external SD using file explorer - something tells me I'm going to need to pick up an sd card reader for my computer)
Rebooted into recovery, wiped everything (had nothing of value installed yet), and then chose to install zip file, chose thor_rom_v12.zip on external SD card, it started installing - looked like it succeeded.
Reboot tablet, and i've been staring at the boot animation (electric blue pulsating android with spinning gears on it) for about 45 minutes.
How should I proceed from here? Any idea what I did wrong?
Thanks
Hold the power button down and see if you can force it to shut down. I dont think itll turn off but its worth a try. You could also try the hard reset button (pin hole on the side of the tab) if the reset works than you should be able to boot back into recovery. If not than youll just have to wait till the battery dies.
Once you eventually get it turned off than try booting into recovery and do a full wipe and reflash the rom. I have a feeling the file you downloaded is corrupted though. if this is so than your tab probally wont boot up again.
At this point id redownload the thor or another rom and than try flashing that. You'd have to get an sd reader since you won't be able to transfer the files through your iconia again. If you can manage to get a clean download on your micro sd somehow than i'd skip straight to this step and start redownloading the rom right now.
BTW these are just the things i would try from knowing what I do about android. I haven't had any issues with my tab yet so I havent looked for solutions for this it, but ive dealt with other boot looped and soft bricked devices.
I'm sure if you do a search you'll find something.
HELP! I tried to root my brand new C10 s/n TF101 - boot looping in ClockworkMod!!
WHAT I DID TO BREAK IT:
I rooted using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838 and when it came back up all was fine. Tried to flash CWM and it failed first time, changed superuser settings to automatically allow and then reflashed CWM - success message! Tried to boot into CWM to do backup before updating the ROM but wouldnt go in so manually rebooted the device and the CWM loop began....
WHAT I HAVE TRIED ALREADY:
I have read various posts (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530337) saying just cold boot and OS will boot but both cold boot and normal boot are giving me CWM! Cold boot shows white writing and suggests it will boot but then just goes straight into CWM again. Cant even see the device with ADB to push any files to it or anything! HELPPPP!!!!
PLease I hope someone can help - I just got this transformer today, insurance replacement after my mate broke my first one... I will cry if I have bricked the new one the day it arrived!!! Any ideas I am happy to try (although would prefer if they likely to make things better rather than worse! :S )
Thanks in advance guys!!
I have an A500 that was originally purchased in Thailand. I contacted Acer Thailand and they provided me a recovery package to install. I put this on a FAT32 formatted Micro SD card and it installs, but when the tablet reboots itself it gets suck on the screen with the silver "android" logo.
I've gone also some of the advice in this thread as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874345.
So far I've tried 3/4 recovery zips provided (41-124-01, 41-125-03, 41-203-01) with the same results. Rather than simply trying to load recovery ROMs at random hoping one magically fixes the problem, what I'd like to do what I would like to do is completely erase the flash on the device, and then try reloading the recovery ROM.
Is there a NON-acer recovery tool I can use to blow away everything that is on there now (and presumably, the corrupted bits?)

I ended up getting it booting up into Jellybean. First I tried restoring as mentioned above with the SD card.
This next part, I believe is the key as the device revived after this step. I put it into a bootloader restore mode by powering on with volume down and flicking the screen lock switch once the device vibrated. After this, it continued with the tablet setup mode and booted into Jellybean.
Hi guys, getting kinda desperate here, appreciate any advice.
I've been mucking around with my phone trying to install some of the mod roms from here, but always get stuck in an endless reboot sequence or on the 'huawei' screen. Havent been able to get CM10.1 or 7 installed and working.
I have followed the instructions, including the partition size mod....
This is not my current issue, however, just the background.I was at a loss so after giving up last night I tried to copy b162 to my sd card, but was read only for some reason - showed up as CD rom on my PC.
Out of desperation I formatted the sd (in CWM) and tried again, but couldnt even get CWM, only pink or blue screen.
Pink screen I tried copied recover.img to the one available drive on my PC (windows), no luck. It copies over, but will not enter CWM with vol up + power.
Went out and bought a card reader this AM, have tried to install the stock roms B162 and B136.
I can copy the .app files to the SD card (root/dload), but my phone when going to pink screen does not start updating, just stays in pink screen.
Have formatted the card in windows (fat32) checked for errors etc. Does anyone know if the 'allocation file unit' during formatting makes a difference? I have left it as standard at 32kb....
The current rom boots as far as the animated huawei (splashing stars thing) logo then cycles.
Cant get shell access with ADB on pink or blue screen.
Never really used linux but Im willing to try anything to save my phone.
I have some experience with microcontrollers and think there are some jtag pads on the back of the phone that might be useful but am reluctant to try this as I fear I will make things worse....
Many thanks in advance!
To add ? volume label important?
Just managed to get into the stock recovery screen, selected 'apply update from sdcard and got reply 'failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory).
I cant swap out the recovery.img file in the purple screen, I dont have acess to that part of the memory from purple screen, perhaps wrong version of android on previous install?
Was wondering if volume label should be something? I just left it blank, and have tried again as 'sdcard' still no luck.
Thanks again....
OK I did a factory reset from within the stock recovery sftward (couldnt even get this before) and it will now boot heh.
Oh well, thanks for listening! Will have another crack at aurora now =)
