Hello Guys from XDA:
THis is my first post here. First of all: Thank you stockwell, dzo and franco for the great job here of developing!!
My english is not the best one (I'm from germany) but I hope you can understand my problem.
My mobile phone is an Huawei Ideos x5 u8800.
I've seen the [2011-10-31]U8800Pro Android v2.3.5[Official ROM][UPDATE Screenshot] and thought "Cool- Gingerbread...." and I've flashed it.
I've done backups (from Clockworkmod and Titanium Backup and the "image" folder from the partition with the boot.img and recovery.img files in it).
The flashing process finished...wonderfull... and then I've seen it: U8800Pro. Damned.
Now after round about 5 hours I can't reanimate the phone to work When I start it I see the white HUAWEI Logo...and thats it.
So I want to flash the old stock rom "STOCK ROM B138SP04CUSTESTC205D001EsthoniaElisa" - but this failed! I've put the dload folder with the two update files in in onto the sd card. When I start the bootloader (normally the pink screen) the normal firmware update start.
After Step 1/2 the phone says "Update failed". The whole time the LED is blinking red and after "update failed" very fast! I've never seen this before!.
Then I've used the first "OVER_SEAS_GENERAL_VERSION" - the same problem.
BUT I could flash the "U8800Pro Android v2.3.5" from the link a second time (without the red LED)!
A normal start ends up whith a freezing white huawei LOGO or some rebootings with a little vibration and a black screen at startup.
Short sentences:
Flashed the U8800Pro Android v2.3.5 - phone only goes to the white huawei screen at start after finished update process.
Flashing back to B138 or the general version (i think this was B135?) failed with fast blinking red LED light and "updated failed" after unpacking (1/2).
I see the partition where the "image" folder was when I connect the phone to my PC (with an empty dload folder on SDCard).
So now I have no idea what to do and I hope that someone here in this great forum could help me.
Thanks a lot!

Do you have CWM?
If you can, try to format system, cache and data from CWM. (You can found in Mount... menu)
Then try to reinstall B138.
i think u could try the following:
(1) boot into bootloader mode (pink screen): "power" + "volume up" + "volumn down"
(2) connect phone to pc, copy the backed-up image folder back to the phone (with an "image" folder in root and backed up files under "image" folder.. should be 4 files: amss.mbn, boot.img, EMMCBOOT.mbn & recovery.img)
(3) remove battery to power off and reinsert battery
(4) flash B138 as usual
if this succeeds, then u have ur U8800 back..
I don't think your phone is bricked.
During the installation of the Stock Roms the recovery.img and boot.img files get replaced/modified and that's why your phone gets stuck at the Huawei logo.
Try the following:
Boot the phone in Bootloader (pink screen) by holding Vol+, Vol- and Power, 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
Once the files are copied, just disconnect the USB cable and remove the battery. Then boot into Recovery by pressing the Vol+ and Power. If you manage to get into CWM Recovery, then it's all good, you can install a custom Rom like Oxygen (
https://sourceforge.net/projects/u8800oxygen/files/ ) by selecting "install zip from SD Card" option.
You'll probably have to use the MOUNT functions within the Recovery to transfer the Oxygen.zip file to your root folder of the SD Card.
Me too did the same thing .... tried both iamelton and katu2006 method but no go.......

No problem, I live in a small town in Lower Saxony / Germany.
Download the U8800Pro F rom that was uploaded the same date as the Gingerbread ROM. THis is the downgrade to Froyo rom. Comes in 4 parts so do each part one after the other. http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDA3MzI=
then try to flash an original U8800 ROM. No promise this will work.

I'll try theese files...
BUt I tried to go into the recovery mode and had no chance at all.
I'll test this...
Maybe the phone will update after the "real" 2.3.3 version is out for us?
Orat this procedure.
in the dload method is an integrated Battery check? Because I've never seen a red led flushing Maybe there is the problem that the updated failed because the akku is not insertet or too low ( I think the akku is not charging anymore- the mobile won't become warm.
Edit: After formatting and loading the 4 files into the image folder: I can't reach the recovery Menü. The phone starts with the white Huawei Logo and after ~5 seconds it vibrates, go black..and is restarting...
I flashed the U8800Pro update to my regular U8800 last night. I just wanted to see what would happen and yep the phone ended up a little broken. But after some time I did manage to fix it.. sort of.
As above, flash the U8800+ F ROM to the phone. This will downgrade things and you'll find that you can then use recovery. I did also have another problem that the /data partition was oddly missing from the device so I had to recreate it <DANGEROUS> using Minitool Partition Wizard (with phone on pink bootloader screen). Also I had to make the FAT32 partition for internal SD as well.
The result is that my phone is 95% fully working. The Huawei/IDEOS logo is now missing and replaced with a green background with a red and blue rectangles and load_oemlogo is unable to reprogram this. Custom ROMs work absolutely fine but all U8800 original ROMs fail to install. Also graphics are missing when installing original roms - only the pink progress bar is showing.
So yeah... DON'T FLASH THE U8800+ ROM TO YOUR REGULAR U8800.
I knew it wouldn't work. I'm crazy enough to try it so I could see if it can be reversed.

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.
Hi,
I believe i bricked my brand new, just-out-of-the-box U8800 Pro. I will write the exact steps i did (in other words i will write what you SHOULD'T do!):
1. i entered the pink screen and copied the official recovery.img (5.0.2.6). then i tried to enter the recovery menu but it didn't work. it just showed a blue screen and that's it.
2. then i copied the unofficial recovery version (5.0.2.3) and it worked. i made a backup and flashed cm7 using the recovery. i did not reboot and wiped data. after that i rebooted the phone but it did not boot. it was just showing the huawei logo.
3. then i wiped everything again and rebooted. when i entered the pink screen mode there was no image folder nor any files. i could't access the recovery. i searched the forum for a solution and found links to 4 files (amss.mbn, boot.img, EMMCBOOT.MBN, recovery.img). i copied them to the phone but still couldn't enter the recovery.
4. on that same thread i found something about flashing U8800V100R001C00B138SP04CUSTESTC205D001(Esthonia Elisa). i copied the /dload/UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_CUST.APP files to my sd card. then flashed them by pressing VOL+ VOL- & POWER buttons at the same time. everything was looking nice... it said unpacking.. then installing.. and right after it said COMPLETE the phone restarted and since then it is showing just a black screen.
5. when i pull out the battery and insert it back the phone just vibrates but the screen doesn't even blink or something. it's like completely dead.
in sd card i found sd_update.log file:
"notesdld_file_ptr != -1) ! update.app have updated! start cust update ! SD download finished!"
if anyone has any thoughts, suggestions or info i would be very greatfull. thank you.
the rom B138 (Esthonia Elisa) is meant for U8800, not ur U8800Pro..
you finaly bricked your phone by flashing ROM from different model. now only service center can help you.

That goes for 5.0.2.6 recovery too (it's u8800 only). And I believe you did the same thing with CM7 for U8800, not Pro
My phone is not working too but I bricked it in the differrent way
hi, can someone help.
I've tried to install update 2.3.5 for u8800pro (second one with bug fixes) to my u8800pro, but i did something wrong. Now the phone didn't work.
1. I've copied step1 file to SDcard. that's it.
I,ve got to menu-stetings-sdcard-upgrade from sdcard.
upgrade started, then phone rebooted, but touchscreen is not reacting, also senso buttons. also it says that there is no sim card but it is in the phone.
I have no image of old system.
I think that what i did wrong that I copied only Step 1 file in Dload folder of SDcard (in upgrade there were also Step 2 and Step 3 files, but i didnt put them in SDcard Dload folder)
2. Then i've downloaded original Stock rom for u8800pro. Via computer i deleted from SDcard dload folder and then created new dload folder and copied stock rom (2 files).
Took off batery for 5 min., then pushed vol +, vol- and pwr buttones.
Got screen android system recovery (3e) with 4 options.
but i canot do anything from that point. I can't choose from theese options (buttons are not working), vol- or vol+, or pwr button not reacting.
maybe someone knows how to recover my phone to original stock or make something else to work phone?
Hi there, did you managed to recover your phone?
I have the same problem with my U8800PRO after attempt to upgrade to Gingerbread.

Well. that's the sh#%*t I made:
I tried to revert to stock then I used this package: Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip flashing it with vol. - + power button.
The problem is that the screen went on as it was install this update normally with the message "booting recovery kernel image", but, after spinning Android gears, the device is stuck at the green Android robot with the yellow exclamation.
If I try to boot with power button instead, then it's stuck on the boot screen Android logo (the shiny blue one).
I tried to reset and to flash another update.zip, unsuccessful. With the last ROM I had, civato Flexthunder, I had CWM, but now, neither it's menu is showed if I press only vol. - + power button - what I have is "booting recovery kernel image", then the Android exclamation on the screen. Notice that, when I was using that ROM, I had CWM. But I used Acer Recovery Installer to flash the US recovery from it's menu. After that, I installed CWM again with this Acer Recovery Installer...
In the end, I tried what I read here, but I can't solve on my own...
It's so confusing! How can I have my A500 back, please, someone!!!
Need to know how you got back to stock recovery? Did you use Acer Recovery Installer?
If so you should just be able to put a stock 3.01 image on your SD card labeled "update.zip" and recover from there?

Yes, K, I used that Acer Recovery Installer when I was still with civato's ROM.
So, from Acer Recovery menu, I flashed that "US stock recovery" version available there. Following that, I installed CWM from Acer Recovery menu again. So, I put that update cited above and... stuck on that!
mmm... but that update is 3.2 - I didn't try with a 3.01... let me see that...
UPDATE: the links from Vache post for 3.01 full packages are a kind of xml... It's not possible to get the zip files! Is there another available link, please?
I'm not even going to ask why you used Acer Recovery Installer once you had installed a rooted ROM, because I'm afraid of the answer .
I think I might still have a 3.01 at home, but won't be there until Wednesday.

Well. that's the sh#%*t I made:
I tried to revert to stock then I used this package: Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip flashing it with vol. - + power button.
The problem is that the screen went on as it was install this update normally with the message "booting recovery kernel image", but, after spinning Android gears, the device is stuck at the green Android robot with the yellow exclamation.
If I try to boot with power button instead, then it's stuck on the boot screen Android logo (the shiny blue one).
I tried to reset and to flash another update.zip, unsuccessful. With the last ROM I had, civato Flexthunder, I had CWM, but now, neither it's menu is showed if I press only vol. - + power button - what I have is "booting recovery kernel image", then the Android exclamation on the screen. Notice that, when I was using that ROM, I had CWM. But I used Acer Recovery Installer to flash the US recovery from it's menu. After that, I installed CWM again with this Acer Recovery Installer...
In the end, I tried what I read here, but I can't solve on my own...
It's so confusing! How can I have my A500 back, please, someone!!!

Had the same issue, then I realized that the update.zip has to be on the EXTERNAL sd card...not internal storage.
Hope this helps.

I'm not even going to ask why you used Acer Recovery Installer once you had installed a rooted ROM, because I'm afraid of the answer .
I think I might still have a 3.01 at home, but won't be there until Wednesday.

LOL
I got the point...
So, I've found a 3.01 here. I'm going to try it now...
Nothing
So, I put the 3.01 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15379983&postcount=1
as update.zip in the SD card. Did it with vol - and power button. Again, the Android robot with yellow exclamation.
It's strange... everyone here did it and apparently it worked perfectly, why not in my case?
UPDATE: I changed the update for 2GB SD card. The progress bar went on briefly and so stopped in some point and, again, the Android robot with yellow exclamation.

and, after the progress bar go until almost the end, it stopped, so do the gears animation, and after reboot, now I have my device stuck on Acer logo screen and the message, in red letters: boot verified failed ...
Ok..
now then you have to ask..
What browser am i using to download this file.. How am i pushing it to the device.. Does the stock recovery like my sd card..
try downloading to using a diffrent browser / diffrent computer.. try pushing it to a diffrent sd card..
there is something in the above post that is consistant.. im guessing its one of the above i mention above that is your issue..
good luck..

Chrome.
And I'm pushing the update.zip with "send to..." right click option on the file.
Unbelievable if it's the issue... ?

The update zips are region specific i believe. That one doesnt look like its for your region. It can get confusing.

You can be right, but since it's not made here, I suppose any update.zip can be used... or not... but in fact I'm not able to know what's the specific file for Brazilian devices... or can I?
man, it's 1+ month tablet! How could I do that? crying out loud...
Take erica_renee advice......download the zip on your PC. make sure you extract the update.zip. from the file you downloaded. Open update.zip file and make sure it doesnt give an error. Im assuming you can use the same update as north america. I dont follow that too close.
If you have a micro card reader ...pop out the micro sd card and plug it into your PC and copy/past the update.zip to it....then put it back into the tablet and reboot into recovery....
that will at least remove some fault factors.
Edit--instead of extracting the update.zip file from the download you may just have to rename it to update
You got your UID Serial number from the USB? It will be 16 digits long.
If so, use a paperclip and power button to put it into fastboot and then flash it.

OOPS YOU ARE Correct . to flash with stock recovery.. only need to extract it to flash with cwm.. But i think its a bad download bad copy or bad sd card issue..
might want to get the md5 sums and check them before on the computer then again on the tablet... after you put the sd card back in the device.. I had this issue with a older 8 gb sd card back when acer first released the tablet..
Again stop trying the exact same thing. change one at a time and you will find your issue.. . AGAIN GOOD LUCK...

I did it. Renamed the file to update.zip, but the yellow exclamation came along briefly...
I use cm7 for a while and want to install aurora ics, copied dload file to sd card.
I turned on phone while holding +- and power button simultaniously.
Booted into pink screen but no update started.
I tried replacing boot and recovery image with original but makes no difference
Tutorial in aurora thread from cm7 to aurora doesn't work for me
Earlier i also installed miui once maybe this is the problem?
Can someone help?
Try putting the dload folder in internal memory or try to remove battery, plug USB cable and pressing volume keys and power before the phone boots...
Sent from my U8800
Also, if this is the fist time you're updating to .35, I recommend you use this version of stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545923
That won't lock your bootloader, so you'll have USB access in pink mode at all times to easily install recovery images.

if yes pls describe how u put file in the sd card with detailed directory structure..
also, change to cwm 5.5.0.4 to flash aurora rom..

I recommend you use the one from the link I posted, because any other stock 2.3.5 ROM and you'll end up with a locked bootloader and, because of that, with no access to usb in pink mode. that would be reversible, but requires more unecessary work....
To start the upgrade process you must have the UPDATE.APP inside a dload folder in the root of sd card. Any other file structure and the upgrade process won't start.
It should look like this:
SdCARD/dload/Update.app.
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
I had the same problem - no automatic update, only pink screen.
Then I tried another microSD-card and it worked.
Take off battery and connect to usb while pressing +-power buttons..that worked for me
Your phone goes to pink screen if sd-card doesn't contain only dload-folder.

I got the same problem, when i press volym UP + volym DOWN + power i only get into pink screen and not the "upgrade" screen... I have tried to hold volym UP + volym DOWN and then connect the USB but didnt work, i have tested with two other SDcards but didnt work
Step1 worked perfectly and installed without problem but not step2.
Any solutions?
As the title says, i formatted everything (boot, image etc) and my Phone Huawei U8800 Pro goes in blue screen or Purple Screen when i try to enter the recovery menu. I used to have CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7 and used as stock Rom Gingerbread B512. Can you help me, guide me to bring back in life my phone. Thanks in advance for every help.
