Monzer, when you install bootmenu are you installing the .apk and then opening the app and then clicking to install 2nd init? This is the right procedure! after you do this reboot your phone and watch for blue led to flash during boot, hit volume down once it flashes blue.
What 2nd init version are you installing? here is the latest http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=792601&d=1322064151
Are you trying to flash CM7?
There is a very old version of CWM that should be suitable if all else fails you. It should work just fine to flash CM7 but not so sure about CM9. However if you want to flash CM9 You could use this old version of CWM to flash CM7 which will in turn install a new version of 2nd init which is definitely suitable for flashing CM9. This old CWM "might" work for flashing CM9 but I dunno if I would try or not! Download in my attachment below!
You MUST enable USB debugging to install.
copy the apk to your sdcard and use a file manager to install it then open the app in your app drawer and choose to install the custom recovery (with USB dubugging ON)
THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!
AFTER INSTALLING THE CUSTOM RECOVERY DISABLE USB DEBUGGING.
You enter CWM by again opening the app and choosing reboot to recovery (with USB debuggind OFF)

Hello. I downgraded from MIUI to the 2.2.2 (dload folder on sd card method)
then i upgraded to official 2.3 using dload on sdcard method.
How to i revert this?
I have tried using the 2.2.2 dload method, then boot into pink screen to install newest recovery, the recovery works and i can restore my old MIUI, BUT it wont boot. just stuck on the new Huawei logo.
and yes i have tried let it boot right after the 2.2.2 dload method is complete but it then enters recovery and some error massaged are displayed, and it wont boot the rom, just recovery..
Any Suggestions?

Why did you upgrade back to 2.3 if you were planning to install .32 Miui? You have to have .32 ROM installed when you install Miui .32, .35 when you install .35 Miui. If I misunderstood and you have .32, try Fixing permissions in CWM.

Currently i have the Official 2.3 because i cant get any other rom to work..
But i want to get back MIUI, my question is How?
I upgraded because i wanted to try the Aurora 4.0 rom, but i gave up as i couldnt get root on the official 2.3 with superoneclick or any other app.
Thanks
btw. How does the U8800 work? I cant flash MIUI on top of the official 2.3 because of the kernel not compatible right?
and in pink screen, is the Boot.img the kernel? if so can i just replace that one with an older kernel and MIUI will work?
Go to settings/backup reset
There's an option install update from sdcard
That should do it

I see you're familiar with the "usual" way of downgrading...try doing it again, or a couple more times. When I upgraded to .35 to try Aurora ICS I had to flash the rom (ICS) like 3 times before it booted properly (was getting a bootloop before). Also if you don't apply the update (downgrade) more than once you can get a few "traces" of .35 system apps in your .32 rom (I downgraded applying the update only once and now have apps like 2.3.5's file manager, notes app, appinstaller, in my .32 rom.I didn't notice any problems apart from that though.). Hope it helps.

Hi there - I had similar troubles after I updated to stock 2.3.5 (latest edition) bootloader is now locked and previous exploits no good
Here is what I did:
Reflashed with 2.3.5 beta using vol+vol- I found it on XDA, can't remember where at the mo
then used superoneclick -worked fine
However my phone got stuck in boot loop after I tried to install CWM however I found that adb still worked and I used that to mount .cust_backup as rw and copied CWM recovery.img on there then took battery out and rebooted in to CWM and did factory reset and personally i installed aurora ICS 2.0 (2.02 gave me simcard issues) it all worked fine - took some fiddling for me but I hope this would make it easier for you
So I did flashed the ROM, and I thought everything went fine and was happy, until I finally opened my phone for first time after the flash and the problems started. My sim wouldnt be recognized I had no service available, and also the battery would not be recognised, charging or not, the battery indicator was always showing I was at 0%...
and last but not least it was force closing every minute!
I flashed from Oxygen Custom 2.3 ROM, and did all the wiping stuff on the CWM(which I also updated to a valid for ICS Aurora version)
Now I got back to the latest Oxygen 2.3 and everything is fine, but I would really like to be able and get the ICS ROM, so any help is deeply appreciated!

Yeah, I thought so! But I cant make it work, I cant flash it, I mean, I had my microSD with the required free space made the folders and pasted the STEP 1 thing in there, tryed to hold down the power button + volume up+ volume down and everything I got was, the pink screen that wouldnt leave for 20 mins(the max I left it)
So yeah!
Do you mean you transferred the 'Step 1' folder to the sd? You need to open the step 1 folder and put just the 'dload' folder across to the sd. If that doesn't work try putting the dload folder in the internal sd.
When you installed aurora did you to wipe chache, system, data and delvik cache?

About the first thing you said I guess I did it wrong! I will try again! Thanks
Do I have to have official 2.2 before I get to official 2.3?
Omg I managed to start the firmware update but it said it failed at step 2 why?
How did you get back to oxygen 2.3?

I tried to do that but it didn,t worked, same problem again.
to make things clear here is my history:
1- after installing oxygen I changed internal partition size with some zip file from xda (And I was so happy with that)
2- installed ICS aurora but simcard not detected
3- tried to get back to stock rom with dload 2.2.1 (tmn portugal rom provided in xda) but in update progress and cwm it says E: couldn't mount; so everything ruined.
now I can not use ICM nor get back to Oxygen and nor stock rom

You cannot flash stock rom with cwm. You need to put dload folder in root of sdcard and when phone is powered off start it by holding vol +/- and power button. This is all in instructions coming with stock rom.
Your problem with sim card in aurora was probably because you need official 2.3.5, not 2.2.1. There is a different kernel. You, should update to 2.3.5, root, install cwm and then flash aurora again in cwm.

Try to update to 2.3.5, by putting the dload into your SD power up your phone while holding both volume (+)(-) buttons!
Let it finish!
But I think there might be a problem!
You need to repartition your SD to as it was with official ROM, and then flash 2.3.5!

Thank you guys, I solved my problem by wiping and flashing dload twice.
I,m so happy now, I thought my phone died
I wanna upgrade to official gingerbread so i can flach ICS but every time i try it and with any official GB it gives me an update failed.Is there any other way to get ICS to work???maybe flashing .35 kernel and then ICS on the same time???
As far as I know, there's no other way than through the stock ROM. Please try with a freshly formatted SD card that you know works otherwise, and make sure the downloaded/extracted file itself itsn't corrupt.
Did you change any of the partitions sizes?
If so reverting to the original may fix your problem upgrading.
I have run into the same problem and managed to brick my phone.
Been spending hours trying to fix it now. Unfortunately I get the same error with 2.2.
Try this: Put the battery out and connect it to USB charger. I had this problem also.
no luck

I am getting the same issue with my handset. Attempting to flash stock 2.3 ROM using CWM 4. I am attempting to update my CWM version, but it is not allowing me to replace the recovery.img.
Any help appreciated

You can't flash stock ROMs through CWM. You have to put the "dload" folder from the update in the root of your memory card, then hold volume +, volume -, and the power button down together with the phone turned off. This will start the "official" update process. To save yourself the trouble of rooting your phone after upgrading to stock, flash the B518 update. You'll have to reflash a newer CWM after this; either 5.0.2.7 or 5.5.2.4.

Correct, Sir...and if I may add something.
Try updating the ROM from the internal SD card (remove the external card).....That is if the update still fails with the other instructions given before...
There is always the chance to have a corrupted update.app.
Try to download again the file and use a fresh FAT32 formatted sd card.
Hope that helps
I got it to work.. sorta.
Reformat internal SD card to vanilla partitions -> install 2.2 -> 2.35 -> MIUI v4 elite SX.
2.35 failed to boot so I had to install a custom ROM, which did boot. Now it's running fine with latest MIUI rom.
Firts i am sory for my english!
I have a ideos X5 (u8800).
i use the AURORA rom (v5u21) for many months without problem, but before 1 month my phone drop down to floor and batery pops out!

i pull out the battery and re-insert but the phone stuck at huawei logo!
i try to enter recovery with no luck!
i download the 2.2.2 update.app from xda and putt the dload folder on root of sd card... i start with vol + & - and the phone starts the update with oute problem! after 5 minutes my phone is online with android 2.2.2 but with 0 imei... i root and restore the imei and then i download the latest gb update from huawei (B528).
from that time my phone no boot and stuck at huawei logo, i try other official roms like B522 and B517 etc without luck...all the same result: stuck at huawei logo!
