[Q] Rom Problem - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

I wanna ask something.I have this phone and i have 2.2.1 stock rom U8800V100R001C00B136SP02CUSTC264D001.Here is my problem : i installed miui rom and now i don't know which files have to be in there.Here is the list.
amss.mbn
boot.img
EMMCBOOT.MBN
recovery.img
cust_data folder
Is this correct? Or do i have to delete some of these ?
Does Stock rom installation delete any of these files ?
I have a problem with my phone, my screen freezes sometimes, unresponsive Because of this, i wanna send it to the technical service.
Sorry for my English

If I understand correctly, you've flashed original firmware, and that should get the whole device back to stock.
Try booting to recovery and see if it's the right one (e.g. not CWM etc.)

Yes.Trying to get back to stock I will send it to technical service.

Flashing the official 2.2.2 or any of those roms from huawei writes everything back to stock, even custom recovery images and all that.

I have 2 backup.
1) A folder named : cust_data\massmarket\tr\ (This one from the original phone)
2) A folder named : cust_data\hw\ideos_x5\ (I got these from after i installed stock rom)
There is something wrong.What can i do with this? Can they figure out this in technical service ? I don't want my phone get out of warranty

[REQ] Stock Kernel 2.3.4

can anybody deliver the stock 2.3.4 kernel as an image to reflash via recovery if one wants to go back from a custom kernel?
would be easier, than using an old backup or reflash the whole ROM due to lost data, apps, sms, etc.
Second to that....maybe someone can help us.
Best Regards
Third to that! Want to try custom kernel, but don't want reflash whole image, if I'll not like it.

do a nandroid backup. it saves kernels
Flashing back stock kernel will not allways help , because some other alterations (e.g. in intit.d) will still remain .. But if you want the stock 2.3.4 kernel .. you can download the full rom posted by me or given in an other thread .. set a side the boot.img and flash it with fastboot ( fastboot flash boot boot.img)
If you do not want to download load an entire rom I attached the stcok 2.3.4 kernel .

excellent, thanx mate! i don't want to flash a whole rom just to get back on stock kernel, because all the backing up and restoring if not necessary is boring...
and does that really set back all changes, a custom kernel does on my phone? aren't there also always some folders in the zip-files of customs?
Well, now I see a reason why there is no "default kernel".
It's because all these custom kernels consist not only from "boot.img", but also from a number of "init.d scripts", "*.so modules", etc, which are obviously different from kernel to kernel. So because of that you cannot have an universal "stock" kernel, but rather a whole stock ROM.
Thanks a lot for all of you who comment that request, now the situation with kernels is more clear.
While all the above is sensible, it should be possible with a modicum of planning to go back and forth between a custom kernel and the stock one. I feel the question is more: is it worth the trouble versus flashing again? Probably not.
1 - Nandroid backup.
2 - Examine the scripts and files included in the custom kernel's zip.
3 - Back up what is replaced, patched or deleted outright from stock.
4 - Note what is added by the custom kernel.
When you want to revert to stock, reflash boot.img from stock, and either adb push the stock backup files back, or create your own update zip with a proper script to finish the job.

basic ways to resolve boot loop stuck phones

if you are stuck in boot loop or having difficulty starting your phone, don't worry, there should be a way.
I have experienced this issue today after flashing wrong file causing my phone to stuck in boot loop. after searching in this forum and after spending over 3 hours, I finally managed to restore my phone and it is now working perfectly fine.
therefore, I thought of making a basic guide to try to resolve such issues. please note, this is a very basic guide to resolve problems with starting your phone, I am not professional but will try to share my experience and help anyone in need. this was done on X10i
lets start:
1- if you have a recent back up and have access to xrec, you can simply restore your phone
2- if you have access to xrec but don't have a backup, try to flash a new ROM
I tried the previous two steps but it kept saying can't mount SD, therfore try the following
3- if you don't have xrec access, use the flash tool
download from here http://www.multiupload.com/7H4JT35B6G
then flash generic 2.1 to your x10, I used this one http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
here is the guide on how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10879528&postcount=3
I have had problem saying "install or re-install drivers", you just need to install the file in the drivers folder in the flash tool main folder and restart the flash tool program
4- after flashing this ROM, restart your phone and root it using the flash tool, after the root your phone will restart, then you need to ask for premession and click xrec to install xrec to your phone
5- before installing new ROM, please make sure that your baseband and karnel is compatible with it (because the ROM you flashed earlier has old karnel and you will be stuck again in the boot loop if you flashed 2.3.3 just like me, then you will need to start again and install new karnel before instaling 2.3.3 ROM or even restore 2.3.3 ROM)
(you can simply install the new ROM then restart in flash mode and flash the new karnel .71 or flash the karnel and restore your backup)
I know that my choices of flash tool version or generic 2.1 version might not be the best, but I used them and resolved my issue and hope it will resolve yours. for any question please do not hesitate to ask me.
credits to everyone who helped, I can't remember everyone because I read quite a lot so please forgive me
nice post my friend
In flash tool I'm getting an error:
ERROR - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\5&2BFAB030&0&5
any idea what to do?
it sounds to me that u may need to install the semc flash drivers.. inside the flashtool u may find a folder named drivers, go inside of that folder and install ggsetup.. also do u have pc companion installed?

can you post the log from the flash tool so I can see at which step exactly this massage came up
I am fairly novice when it comes to flashing so here's a pretty dumb question:
I have an X10a, can I use the X10i software that you've linked in your post or is it just going to brick my phone.

[Q] Defy stuck to bootmenu (solved)

Greetings,
Quick history of the problem:
*I have a Defy, with stock rom, rooted, and TWRP 2.1. I have a full android backup with TWRP.
*I flash CM9-NIGHTLY-120716-Defy.zip. I reboot, everything is fine.
*I reboot into new CWM recovery, make another android backup with CWM.
*I install TWRP 2.1 again.
*I flash CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip.
*But then, I immediately flash again TWRP 2.1 (I think that was a mistake).
*I reboot, CM10 works fine.
*But when trying to boot into recovery from (new) bootmenu, TWRP immediately crashes and phone reboots I have no recovery mode available.
*At this time, phone still boots into CM10 just fine.
*I spend many hours trying to find how to flash a proper recovery, but to no avail. In desperation, I then follow the same recovery install procedure I followed many time ago after rooting the phone (see for example "wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jordan"). So bootmenu 0.61 is installed.
*And now the phone always reboots into bootmenu 0.61; recovery cannot be accessed ("recovery.sh not found"); CM10 does not boot.
So the phone is (probably soft) bricked.
At this point, after reading different posts, the only solution I have in mind is to flash a stock sbf file. However, since most of my previous actions have resulted in worse and worse situation, I am not sure this is the best solution.
What would you advise?
Thank you,
Colinou
EDIT: after reading different posts, finally flashed stock rom with sbf file following tutorial in forums. No problem encountered, apart from starting over everything.
EDIT2: I now realise that the reason for always booting to bootmenu, was that bootmenu 0.61 was set to always boot to bootmenu! There is an option in the bootmenu to start phone to "default" instead of "bootmenu". Anyway, the recovery was still broken, so I needed to flash a SBF file anyway.

Hai,
I don't remember where I downloaded the stock sbf file from, most likely from sbf.droid-developers.org, which is down now
However I kept a copy of the sbf file on my computer , it is a french retail version (but langage can be changed later), in case of desperate need, I can post it somewhere.

I will send you a link by private message. I don't know if it will work with Tmobile, but at least you can boot your phone and flash another rom afterwards. At start it will ask you to login to motoblur, just cancel the requests, change language to english, and you're set.

ZE500KL (Z00ED) Soft-bricked... (bootlooping on Asus logo, doesnt even show ROM logo)

Hello...
So, me, a dumbass, decided to try to encrypt the phone while it was rooted... Everything went wrong, and on the first reboot it started rebooting non-stop(on the Asus logo)... I left it for some time but nothing changed.
I tried restoring a backup(system, data and boot), stays the same, tried restoring stock boot and reflashing the rom(ResurrectionRemix) but nothing changed. How do I solve this?
(Note that I have a backup of all stock ROM partitons, except the recovery)

Flash stock ROM
You can find stock rom (firmware) on ASUS website support page
Make sure you have your stock recovery installed too, and restore your rom

I solved by flashing stock ROM with Asus Flash Tool:
ASUS Drivers: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE500KL/HelpDesk_Download/ - Select Android OS, then go to "USB" and download the drivers
Website (tutorial on how to use it is linked there): http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2017/03/download-asus-flashtool-10045-for-zenfone-3.html
RAW firmware files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...0a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966/page3
In case you don't want to check both RAW files, I posted here the versions of each firmware:
First link: WW_ZE500KL_V12.8.5.222_M3.6.42_Phone-user (Lollipop)
Second link: WW_ZE500KL_13.10.10.44_M3.6.51_Phone-user (Marshmallow)
If you get confused when you need to select the RAW file, go to the extracted folder and there will be it. (I got confused because the folder by itself was named .raw lol)... Also, don't delete any file, as you probably will need them one time later

By using that method you get everything back to stock. Simple answer: You get back stock ROM and recovery.

Stock Recovery Image

Hi Experts,
I've flashed TWRP and the stock rom posted into XDA with GAPPS included , everything is fine and working.
Now I want to disable TWRP and deploy the stock recovery image bacause I need to sell the phone and after an factory reset TWRP comes up, to me it's acceptable but for an simple user this can be annoying.
I was not able to find the factory recovery.img for Nubia Z17 to flash it. Do someone knows if it's possible ?
This can cause problems ? I don't want to lock the phone again I just want to deploy the stock recovery and let the phone with the actual ROM.
Any help will be appreciated.

I think you need to flash the "recovery.img" from the stock ROM to the phone.
And befor that flash the stock ROM
And I have to admit that I have not tried this but have also thought of doing it.
Let us know what happens.
Thomas
Understood. So I need to flash the Chinese stock ROM without GAPPS and other stuffs.
I think maybe just flashing the Chinese stock ROM it will replace TWRP.
BUT in order to install GAPPS I MUST have TWRP right?
What I want is to flash everything to have the phone functional to sell to an simple end user, this means with PlayStore, GAPPs and without TWRP.
well flashing the chinese ROM will NOT replace TWRP. I believe I tried this once.
I would do the following:
0. keep TWRP
1. Flash the chinese stock ROM
2. Flash GAPPS depening on your customer
3. as a last thing flash the stock recovery image

understood, but how do I get the stock recovery image?
Take the Chinese Rom and open it with WINRAR or winzig.
At the top Level you'll find a recovery.img about 18mb in size.
I believe this is it.
Flash it with fastboot utility.
Cheers Thomas
winzig should be WINZIP
