Hello People,
Firstly I would like to apologize if this is a duplicate post, Googling reveals tons of different documents which actually has confused me and as I have tried many, I don't even know now what have I screwed up.
Phone - U8800H
OS - Linux
I tried to update my phone and it got messed up. It simply won't boot but go in an infinite loop or restarting every 3 seconds (once the HUAWEI logo is displayed).
By pressing both Vol buttons and starting the phone I can go into bootloader mode (pink screen) and the phone drives get mounted. However trying to go to recover mode by pressing the Vol UP key during start up simply again keeps restarting the phone.
I have tried various solutions which include re-downloading the images folder files again, replacing the recover.img from clockwork, formatting that partition and retrying, almost everything.
The phone simply keeps restarting. Replacing or removing any of the file in the images folder gives me a blue screen during going to bootloader mode.
As I cant get to recover mode I don't know what to do.
The warranty of the phone is finished as it was only of three months. I was told by the company I purchased it from to be a "power problem" but I think its a software problem as I messed it up myself.
If anyone has faced such situation before please help.
Thanks.

The original ROM was U8800HV100R001AREC00B135SP01 CUSTC213D001 (Kuwait VIVA). I have downloaded it as well.
However as suggested it asks me to create a dload folder in a formatted SD card with the zipped files within it, and then start the phone in 'recovery mode'. However the phone doesn't start in that mode with the same restarting issue.
One person suggested to create a 'dload' folder in the SD card with no contents in it and then start the phone in 'bootloader' mode and the phone will auto revert to its default firmware. I did as suggested but it didn't work either.
I have the original boot.img that came with the phone. I also downloaded a fresh boot.img (along with the other three files that come in the images folder) but still the same result of restarting during trying to start in 'recover mode'.
It was working fine till I messed it up trying to upgrade it to 2.3 to change the patched wpa_supplicant file to connect to Ad-Hoc networks.
I think I need to change the files required for 'recover mode' to default ones, but I don't know where they reside. Any tutorial in this direction would be great.
Thanks.
My guess is that some of the partitions got messed up somehow, some different filesystems (ext4 over ext3) in 2.3 stock fw.
Have you tried copying update.app to dload-folder of sdcard then booted phone with both vol-down and vol-up pressed (bootloader mode). That should in theory start the update...

Ok then.... because I'm lost... which rom was on!
2.2.1?
or 2.3.?
these are the files needed FIRST....
---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------
Ok IF you were on 2.2.... on sdcard make \dload folder with update 2.2 original rom!!!!
Vol+ Vol- Power on...pink screen and it should do the rest!!!
Recovery after you reinstall 2.2!
Now IF you managed to put 2.3... then put 2.3 update in sdcard \dload and again it should do the rest.
If you are trying to come back to 2.2 or miui oxygen cm7 from the beta.... first put the 2.3 beta back on via the sdcard.
I have put the original ROM in 'dload' folder and as suggested I shall have started the phone in 'bootloader' mode now. There is no movement on the screen so I don't know even if its doing something.
How much should I wait or shall I be notified if the update is done ?
Thanks.

Is your folder structure like this
/sd
/sd/dload
/sd/dload/update.app
If it is, then boot to bootloader. you should see it is doing stuff.

I have double checked it again, the structure is 'dload' folder in the root of the memory card and the update.app file in it, still however I don't see any movement in the 'bootloader' mode, just the "pink" screen continuously lit.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks.

Pink screens means it didn't work. Your phone isn't mounting the sd-card right in bootloader mode. You could try to put the dload-folder on internal sd-card, should be possible since you're on linux. Think you just need to mount the right partition when connecting your phone via usb when in pinkscreen. I don't recall exactly which partition as I'm using Windows and haven't tried this, but you should be able to find some more info around here by searching a bit...

Hello XDA-Forum!
Same problem here with my u8800
I have original recovery.img but i fd' other files by overwriting them.. (yes i know...)
Now my phone doesen't start flashing and i cant do anything. I was using almost latest version of oxygen mod.
Do i need original files to flash my phone back to stock in image/... floder? And if i need, can i dig version form recovery.img? or might this is problem with partitions? I think oxygen is known by partition problems.

I have tried as you suggested, There were 5 partitions on the phone 2 of which were smaller than 200MB and therefore could not save the update file which is larger in size. I have tried over the remaining three partitions but in vain, they all end up with the same pink screen.
However you might be correct that my phone is not mounting the SD card as I can't see the SD card in the list of mounted drives in the computer.
To put/move files on SD card I have to use my another phone
I will get another SD card and try. In the meanwhile if there is anything else I could try, do advice me.
Thanks.

Hi, and welcome to XDA!
I guess you got the same problem with sd-card not mounting properly if you can't initiate stock flashing via dload-folder-method.
If you search the forums you'll find links to download all files that's needed in the image-folder of pinkscreen-partition. Then you'll hopefully be able to boot to recovery (vol-up + power), wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and flash whatever ROM you'd like. Remember this erases all your data, hopefully you've backed up whatever precious stuff you've got on your phone.

I loaded Official 2.3 overseas original boot.img & recovery.img but nothing new happened. volume up+power = bootloop, if i try flash volumeup+down + power = pinkscreen. If i delete image folder comes blue. Another ideas?

Remember that you need all files from the same version. Try this, those are from stock 2.2 if I'm not mistaken. When (if?) you get into recovery, remember to clear cache / data / dalvik cache.

Glad to hear you get it working as we both had the basically same problem.
For me however still it is the same issue, except that while going into the recover mode now it shuts down instead or restarting endlessly. Where as the bootloader mode simply does nothing.
Can you post the exact steps you did to get your work so I can also repeat them?
Thanks.

You've got the U8800H right? Then you need to find the correct image-folder for your phone, as it differs from what I uploaded which is for U8800.

Hi!
I tried to install Kitchen mod, and it went successful. But, then i tried to change the density in build.prop. Apparently something went wrong, and my phone froze at the load screen. So i went in to clockwork and did a recovery. But after that my phone booted into a very annoying bluescreen. I can't boot into clockwork, or anything. I can use the +/- to go into pink/purple screen.
Is it possible to fix this?
Greetings Arve
bluescreen... seems like the recovery.img is missing or corrupt. Try replacing it again
Hi again. I will try this once i get home. I figured out also that when i plug in the charger, it also goes into bluescreen Silly. But i will report back on how it works.
Thanks for quick reply
-Arve
Oh, snap. I opened the "removable disc f:\" And there was only(!) a folder called image, and a file called amss.mbn in it.
And then i copied over the original boot and recovery, but nothing happened.
Now i have no idea, bluescreen still comes =(
Thats no good, definitely sound like it got corrupted somehow..
There should be these files in the folder: (I can upload if you wish, but i'd recommend reinstalling a stock ROM and starting from the beginning because my image files are B137, although they're mostly the same)
amss.mbn
boot.img
EMMCBOOT.MBN
Recovery.img
Hi, that would be AWESOME! PM'd you =)

What do you mean by download mode? if you turn it on with vol up and down and power held, what happens?
Try put stock rom (2.3 or 2.2 depending on what was on phone before) in dload folder on sd card and it might flash firmware off that.
If you're on download mode then you can upload a recovery an boot image. Do it and use that to flash any rom you want.
I appreciate people trying to help. But sometimes it is good to stay quiet. So please, don't reply with funny suggestions.
Thanks.

If i said that the telephone is bricked and only in download mode you should know what does it mean before you reply. That's all. No hard feelings.
Try using a FAT32 formatted sdcard, with nothing in it but the dload folder with a stock ROM.
Couple days ago, I deleted all files from my U8800's FAT32 and EXT4 partitons - yes, even the 'image' folder, connected to my Linux box.
Because I wanted to revert to stock Froyo, i dumped back partition 5, from a backup I did some months ago - but this part is not relevant.
Formatted the card, dumped the dload folder into it, with a card reader; removed the battery and followed the procedure described in your link.
First try, it displayed some error message - can't remember - second try it showed up the pink screen, followed by the blue screen and initiated the ROM flashing. My phone is now fine and dandy... Oh, it rebooted three times after installing stock Froyo, so don't be alarmed when you get there.
Cheers
Good luck

I tried all you mentioned 30 X and more then that But no success
Btw: if you dumped back your partition from backup you had access to internal memory ... i don't have that connection neither on Ubuntu or Windows. I got pink screen but it is in "Download mode" only.

Can you explain me how did you get your Huawei u8800 enter in Download mode if it's a feature of some samsung smartphones to work with odin ?
You're being a little rude for those who're tryin' to help you, you should be more polite ma friend...
You didn't even say what rom were you using... so I guess you don't even deserve any help from anybody.
Peace
I've had download mode on my previous Android device - LG GT540. All it needed to enter such mode was to remove the battery, SIM and sdcard , and plug the USB cable. It would enter download mode and allow a stock ROM to be flashed with the standard LG update tool.
Actually, I dumped partition 5 back to the phone prior to erasing every file system in it, and indeed had pink screen mode access in order to do it...
Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I've installed some custom ROM and after reboot it stopped to boot in HUAWEI logo. And that was it. I have tried to install official ROM's all of them with standard methods (dload folder) but every time ends in step 2/2 (installation failed or something like that).

We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there
Okay guys.The last today I was messing around with aurora rom and have done some flashing. It was a matter of time for my phone not to boot up since I was flashing custom modded aurora rom(by sakura 2.11a).
The phone doesn't boot.I just see the ideos logo and stays there forever.The same applies also if I try to boot from recovery 5.0.27.Again I'm stuck at ideos logo.
I have a lot of working backups both in my internal and external sd.I only need to reach recovery once !!!
I can access the pink screen and I can see the following files as seen in the screenshoot.
The recovery img is this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19331019#
I downloaded the recovery again and compared the phone one with the downloaded one via md5 and crc32(it's the same img).
The boot.img was replaced with the sakura 2.11a because it firstly was a custom one I had created (my bad ... )
The other files are left untouched because I don't know if I should mess with them.
I can connect my external sd card to my laptop and can see all the files are there.I can also write files.
Should I try the solution in post 2 at this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579366

Well, we understand that, but if you have a solution to the problem posted, it would be nice to see it written for the whole community, so that if anyone falls into the same issue they will know what to do...
Okay I will tell you something but please don't laugh at me.
I think from the shock that the phone didn't boot my mind messed up the key combination and instead of pressing power & volume up I was pressing power & volume down. That's what I thought after restoring. I copied into my external sd card the dload folder I used to upgrade from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 and I used power & volume up. It booted into recovery. I restored a backup and everything returned to normal. After that I read genokolar's instructions on how to boot into recovery and I think it was just me who used the wrong key combination
It seems really funny now Panic can be the worst thing in the world sometimes
anyway,problem solved!!!!!

i have written it more than twice in similar posts here if someone searches for that i believe he will find the answer
Hi,
Have looked around the forum trying to find similar threads, however haven't found anything quite the same. I have been trying to update to Aurora from Oxygen and had got to the stage where I erased all phone and sd card data and then copied the "dload" folder containing "Update.app" inside it to the sd card. I then powered off the phone and then turned it back on whilst holding power,volume + and Volume - . The update starts and then around 10 seconds in a message comes up saying that the update has failed. I do not know what the problem is, any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion, however the same thing is still happening
try remove battery and plug the usb cable... then start the upgrade...
when it starts u can choose to put your battery wich a recomend or try to do it without plug again the battery...
perhaps it will work...
hope i helped
try this way.
INstall any stock 2.2 (froyo) the same way by putting the dload folder in the inmternal SD.
After install is complete install the stock 2.3 on top using the same procedure.
Note that you have to have a stock partition table too. Make sure you restore the default partition table:

Thanks again, however none of the suggestions worked
I've probably messed this thing up just about as badly as I can.
Here's what I can tell you:
Update: I just figured out that you are supposed to put dload onto a separate sd card, So i'll be trying that when the phone comes out of it's coma XD anything else you can suggest is very welcome.
- The phone currently isn't turning on after messing around in twrp(tried to restart into bootloader)
- While trying to get it working, it is now showing up as CAN-L11(likely from trying some backups of others)
- I was unable to use ANY roms I tried. full update files didn't work. always error 7
- It seems in twrp that I'd often get this error: mountencrypt failed to mount /data, despite wiping /data many times
- I've tried using iso files extracted from some update.app, and using that to get system and data on there, as well as recovery too
- I was switching between twrp and default recovery to transfer files and then use dload to try to recover the system, never let me do it though. got to 5% then told me something like: "Getting package info failed". it would do this in the download and recover mode as well when I would hook up to the internet and it would also give me that error.
You are free to ask me any questions about the device.
I think I just need to drain the battery then I should be able to at least get something out of it, but until then, if anyone has any recommendations after it's functional again let me know. Any help is appreciated.

I've probably messed this thing up just about as badly as I can.
Here's what I can tell you:
- The phone currently isn't turning on after messing around in twrp(tried to restart into bootloader)

It isn't even charging?
- While trying to get it working, it is now showing up as CAN-L11(likely from trying some backups of others)

Yeah, that's why. The model name can be changed in build.prop, but you're still using a CAN-L11 ROM though.
- I was unable to use ANY roms I tried. full update files didn't work. always error 7

You haven't flashed the TWRP mentioned in the first post of their thread, hence you've got that error which is basically telling you that you're trying to flash the ROM on an unsupported device (the phone's codename / model is mentioned in TWRP and ROM checks for it), but actually it's working on all models.

That occurs because TWRP doesn't support decryption. You have to format data, not wipe. You can format it from TWRP > Wipe > Format data.

What happened after you've tried that?
- I was switching between twrp and default recovery to transfer files and then use dload to try to recover the system, never let me do it though. got to 5% then told me something like: "Getting package info failed". it would do this in the download and recover mode as well when I would hook up to the internet and it would also give me that error.

Try to unplug the cable from PC. Also, note that I've read in past somewhere that the firmwares from Firmware Finder has to be approved by Huawei and if it isn't, then the stock recovery will fail to flash it. Other Huawei phones has modified / patched stock recovery which allows to flash unapproved firmwares though.

How do you guys end up like this? xD
Update: I just figured out that you are supposed to put dload onto a separate sd card, So i'll be trying that when the phone comes out of it's coma XD anything else you can suggest is very welcome.

Hah, here's the answer to the above question: not reading xD. Try to slap the phone to wake it from the coma ahahahah xD. When did it get into coma though?
