[U8800] [How To] Root, Install ClockworkMod + Remove Bundled Apps from Official 2.3.5

the rootexplorer maybe help you

If, like me you can't open the hidden menu with the *#*#2846579*#*#, install the Hidden Menus app from the Play Store. Once there, go to .ProjectMenuReceiver ... and just continue to follow the howto in the first page of this post using SuperOneClick 2.3.3. My U8800 only rooted at the second attempt, the first one didn't run to the end, but the second one went just fine and ended with "Device rooted" message.
Good luck
Note: My U8800 was bought in Portugal through the operator TMN and the rom is the 2.3.5 Official from Huawei

[PATCH 3.1][27-06-11] 100% Working 3g huawei compatible USB dongle

*I'm not updating it, but many users find this useful, so thread is kept as is for now*
Not sure if anyone got so far, to getting the honeycomb showing connection and selectable APN in settings?
anyways,
from my port of honeycomb to folio100, and now experiments with a500.. i got huawei dongle's running using the builtin functions.
you will need to have root'd your device. and this might break a system-update, if any of my files are updated during next OTA..
but back to the working 3G.
Working 3G USB dongles:
Do note, your modem version can be seen on its white label written with very small text.
some modems require zerocd (linuxtool) or commands executed in windows to disable the mass storage part of it. (search google for the commands)
* ZTE MF 639 (might need roaming enabled to get data working)
* Vodafone K3765-H
* Vodafone K3715
* Vodafone K3565 / Huawei E160
* Huawei E169
* Huawai E170
* Huawai E171
* Huawei E173
* Huawei E1550
* Huawei E1692
* Huawei E1750
* Huawei E1752
* Huawei E1820
* HUAWEI K3520
* HUAWEI K3565 -Rev 2
Download View attachment 3g-usb-stock1.zip for 3.0.1 stock release Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3: (vermagic=2.6.36.3 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7)
Download View attachment 3g-acer31stock-usb.zip for 3.1 stock release Acer_A500_3.019.01_COM_GEN1 (vermagic=2.6.36.3-00005-g5dff38c SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7)
HOWTO:
- first: Backup your /system/build.prop on the tablet , just copy the file to a safe place, as its important if you wish to do a online update later on.
- updated zip, so you can now install the zip as an "update" using ClockWorkMod/CWM if you got this installed.
- download the "system.zip" attached to this post.
- unpack all files to a temporary folder ie. C:\myfiles
- assuming you got adb running
* push files to your tablet with;
adb shell mkdir /data/local/temp
adb push C:\myfiles\system /data/local/temp/
* next run
adb shell
* then run all commands below in the shell
su -
mount -orw,remount /system (i forgot this line, ITS IMPORTANT)
cp -a /data/local/temp/* /system/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/pppd
chmod 4755 /system/bin/rild
chmod 755 /system/bin/rild.run
chmod -R 755 /system/etc/ppp
If you done these steps correctly, and you reboot.
you will now have a working 3G option in Settings -> wireless networks
so you can configure your APN now and connect to your 3G network.
and you got it all automated with honeycomb 3g! no terminal needed to start 3G!
HINTS
- Other reports are to remember to "Disable PIN" on the card.. I have no personal experience on this part, but check up on it, if its not working perfectly, or no data, but network is ok.
- I got reports back about enabling roaming to make it work, and also remember the story from Folio100 with 3G dongles..
so if you cannot get data connection at all, try to enable roaming and see if APN does not appear which matches your isp. maybe read you ISP website to confirm it.
- If you happen to remove the dongle, there is a solution (using as example gscript) to restart the ril daemon.
in a shell you can restart the ril-daemon if you reinsert the 3g usb dongle.
do it like this in the shell:
su -
stop ril-daemon
start ril-daemon

Insert modem into pc and wait for driver to install
check in device manager which com port is assignated to your modem
download putty
here the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
close every program related to modem
run putty
click serial below port number and then change port number to one previously founded
click open
write atz and press enter, modem should answer ok
write ati and press enter, modem should give name, type, etc
write AT^U2DIAG=0 and press enter, zero cd is now disabled
You need also put sim card from modem to any phone and disable pin checking.

it would probably work, if you got the huawei dongles..
the major is if you need different kernel modules.. those are in the other thread if needed, i included those without -gxXXXX version info.. as thats the ones for the latest EU model update and works here.
Thanks Dexter. One question. Can these files be pushed using terminal emulator instead?
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
Yes,
this can of course be done in a terminal, if needed.
just forget the part with "adb",
but all the commands should be executed, and the files copied to a sdcard temporily and copy from that location to the /system
Dexter thanks. What Huawei modem do you recommend?

Correct, that is also mentioned in post #1.
custom build.prop can be made if the lines at the bottom are copied to your own version you got with a simple one-liner in a shell.
echo "picasso.3g=true
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhuawei-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyUSB2
ro.pad.features.modem=true " >>/system/build.prop
so it works on any new build.prop change..

no no, i dont talk CWM.. i use the builtin tegra recovery for the additional functions.. the recovery is very close to CWM, but uses the old htc way, and do have specific write command for writing images..
ill check it out soon.. a500 is still new to me, although tegra is not...
I know im probably not doing something right, i followed the steps, and when i tap mobile networks it force closes?

[Q] Slider Disabled, Not recognizing gesture.... now what?

I am running CM
So I disabled the slider unlock, but it stopped recognizing my gesture for some reason and I cannot figure out how to login to my phone. Running stable build of CM7.1, not sure if I can change that setting somehow from ADP or do something from a terminal... Any ideas?
When I say gesture, I am not referring to the password based on the motion with the dots, I am saying the screen where the unlock / silent toggle was has been disabled and I cannot get passed there.
Your help is appreciated
Did u try unlock with menu button?
I remember that from cm7
Sent from my MB525 running 4.5.1-134 DFP 231 DEFY+ ROM...
using XDA App
No menu button doesn't do anything....
Do you know WHERE this "Slider Disabled" setting is stored? I could go in thru ADB and change it but I don't know where to look.
Here are the things I have tried already
----
Attempt 1:
$ ./adb -d shell
# cd data/data
# sqlite3 ./com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite> update system set value=1 where name='lockscreen_disabled';
sqlite> .exit
# reboot
Attempt 2:
adb shell
input keyevent 82
---
Neither of these worked. I think the solution should be in the updating the settings.db, but maybe its a different row/record that contains "ENABLE slider"?
Help would be appreciated!
could deleting the the offending theme restore to normal?? Just thinking out loud here ^^
don't know much about adb
Okay. No help here, but I found a fix and I thought i would share it since I have seen that apparently other people have had this problem with no help as well other than "Wipe and reinstall rom"
This app fixed it!

Just make sure you follow the instructions, you have to install the app, than install any other random app and BAM- unlocked phone! Sweet

[Q] Huge Battery Drain

Hi,
since a week or so my u8800 suffers from a huge battery drain.
Today i just got 10hours out of it and almost did nothing. (4min. phone call/ 10messages/ max. 10min surfing)
The last 10% of battery was gone in 30 seconds.
It all started last week when my phone was on stock 2.2. Then i updated to the latest stock 2.3.5, but still the same problem.
Model number : u8800
Android version : 2.3.5
base band version : 404020
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected]#1
Build number : U8800V100R001C00B528G001
I also wanted to calibrate the battery, but i can't root the phone. Tried every program out there
Anyone got the same problem or has a solution ?
Hello Kawadude,
I use superoneklick and it works fine to root the device. Hier ist the how to, what you must do before use superonklick:
- Dial * # * # 2846579 # * # *
- Go to projectmenu, background settings, log settings, log switch and set Log on
- Reboot phone
- Set USB debugging on
- Run superonklick http://depositfiles.com/files/n0dcxce3t or http://shortfuse.org/
Hope it helps
Already tried that without a result.
I also tried DooMLoRD v4, Unlock Root and One-click Root.
Since i installed the official 2.3.5 i can't root my device annymore. On stock 2.2 this wasn't a problem.
Hello, do you keep wi fi enabled at all times? i noticed my battery drains increased greatly when i leave my wifi on 24/7
No, wifi is only enabled when I'm at home.
A couple of weeks ago the battery life was just fine. (With the same usage)

Close any application in your pc that might try to connect with an android device (like huawei's or Asus PC Sync, etc). Those applications use the adb driver and block superoneclick. Check if windows recognize your device and install it properly. Hum... That's all I can think of... ;-)

You have to do it, rooting apps need that option
And launcher apps etc. don't install them, your battery won't drain Uninstall unnecessary apps too

[Q] Rooting with SuperOneClick 2.3.3

Hi everyone,
I've got a problem trying to root my Ideos X5 using SuperOneClick.. Everywhere I look, it looks so straightforward. I simply don't know why it doesn't work.

No hangs. Just nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Go to projectmenu > background settings > log settings > log switch > set Log on
Reboot the Phone
Go to Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB Debuggingmode
Go to Settings > Applications and disable Fast Bootmode.
Run superoneclick.

Fixing 0 IMEI

Hello. I've been getting a lot of emails on how to do that and i thought i should make a thread here.
Now you got to have the original box in which there is the imei written. I don't take any credit for this guide as i didn't write it but i found it somewhere here but it doesn't exist anymore. I'm not responsible for any damage may happen to your phone. I did it several times after flashing official 2.3.5.
It has worked fine with my IDEOS X5 U8800.

This procedure did not work for me. I found it a couple of weeks ago in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591997) and gave it a try (numerous times) without success. I was able to complete all steps up until actually writing the new IMEI. I attempted to write it a couple of dozen times without any success. It appears to work but the lMEI never actually changes.
I also found another procedure using a program called NVedit but it would give me an error stating the NV location was set to read only (I forget the actually wording). It seems that my phone has the location that contains my IMEI locked in some way that nothing can change it. So I gave up on that phone and am using a different one that I bought on eBay, brand new at a dirt cheap price ($27.00).

Yes, I am rooted.
I started out on 2.2 way back in the beginning. Then I flashed 2.3.5. That's when I lost my IMEI and replaced the phone.
But I wanted to keep experimenting at getting it working 100% even though I had a new working, rooted, and customized phone. Using 5IromToolBox I restored a backup from the new phone to the broken phone just to see if it would work. Then I flashed Stallion-51-ICS custom ROM. It is a GB based ROM with look and feel of ICS.
When I run the procedure in this thread, everything looks as though it has worked, but the IMEI never changes. So what did 5Irom do differently that it was able to restore the backup from a different phone but I cannot use DFS or NVEditor to write to the locations? The back I made from the new phone and restored to the old one is Consumer Cellular so I suspect they have locked something out that 5Irom is able to get around but other tools don't.
On another note, just for the heck of it I tried to upgrade to ICS from GB and it fails on the first update step. Go figure.
If I could find a full-flash procedure for the pro and 51 versions of this phone I suspect I could resolve all issues. Who knows?
UPDATE: I went through the whole process again and noted a point I forgot to mention. In DFS at the bottom of the screen EQF is yellow, not green. I don't recall exactly what that means but in reading through the DFS doc, it states that writing a new IMEI is not possible as long as EQF is yellow. When I enter my IMEI and click on the WRITE command the response is "MODECHANGE OfflineD OK"

So what did 5Irom do differently that it was able to restore the backup from a different phone but I cannot use DFS or NVEditor to write to the locations? The back I made from the new phone and restored to the old one is Consumer Cellular so I suspect they have locked something out that 5Irom is able to get around but other tools don't.
On another note, just for the heck of it I tried to upgrade to ICS from GB and it fails on the first update step. Go figure.
If I could find a full-flash procedure for the pro and 51 versions of this phone I suspect I could resolve all issues. Who knows?
UPDATE: I went through the whole process again and noted a point I forgot to mention. In DFS at the bottom of the screen EQF is yellow, not green. I don't recall exactly what that means but in reading through the DFS doc, it states that writing a new IMEI is not possible as long as EQF is yellow. When I enter my IMEI and click on the WRITE command the response is "MODECHANGE OfflineD OK"

it should be green! what i would do is to flash 2.2 then 2.3.5 and follow again the steps very carefully! maybe u ever flashed a partition and it's not the default one? i can't really help you :/ try this and if it doesn't work make a thread in the q&a section

Yeah, I knew that it should be green. The bottom line is I do not have the 2.2 image to flash. I would have done that a long time ago if I had it. All I have is the DiskImage backup that I made off of my new phone. When I flashed it onto the old phone it starts, displays the Consumer Cellular logo for about ten seconds then shuts off immediately. As far as starting a thread in Q & A, I did that weeks ago and got nowhere fast.
Any link I have found for the original 2.2 for -51 and pro is usually a broken link. or it takes me to download that stupid iLivid program that doesn't do squat to get the files I need. I did find a DiskImage file that somebody made and posted but it is almost 4 gig in size. You are supposed to use Pink Screen to load it but Pink Screen only gives me access to the image directory and it's only 256 meg.
Thank you for your time and suggestions.
I believe in the wiki section there are links to default 2.2 and 2.3.5. The ones I found a long time ago were from Blefish, although I'm not sure. Good luck!

Dead link.
Hi.
I try to download the "Drivers for Android 32 and 64 bit win 7 (not tested )", but its a dead link. I run win7 pro, and somehow the 32 bit driver doesn't work.
Would like to try the 64 bit driver. Could u reupload it, please?
I just did a repost cause i veen asked a lot of times I don't have the files and I don't thinks drivers are needed. You could just install huawei's suite for PC

ευχαριστω πολυ----thanks man
Hi All,
Many thanks for this post.
Iv recently installed the Blefish CM11 rom for U8800 and its works fine. Only issue I have is IMEI=0. I can make and receive calls and even use the mobile internet.
My question is - Is there a way to edit the IMEI no on KK4.4.2 ROM through entering in the engineering mode?
or else, will have to start from the beginning (stock rom process as mentioned in the OP).
thanks for your help.

Hi,
I haven't found out the way to fix it yet.
Only way I got to fix is to redo the stock rom, root, save the imei and the reflash the custom rom.
The reason for the imei issue was changing the partitions
thnx anyways
