Hello,
I'm new to this forum and to Android OS in general. I bought Ideos X5 last month and I would like to root it and install the new ROM on it. So this is my understandig of the way I can do this.
First I have to root the phone with Super Boot (program used in one of the tutorials) and raplacing the boot.img with the (boot.u8800-modaco-superboot-r1) - found on modaco forum.
Then I have to put on the ClockworkMod by replacing recovery.img.
I backup* the phone in ClockworkMod and wipe all the data. And the last In the CM I choose the zip of my ROM.
So... I hope i get it. I have few more questions. If I use *backup* in CM it will return my phone to the ROM it was when the backup was done.
Is is neccesary to update firmware and why is good to do so?
Which is the best ROM to use?
Thank you!
You don't need to root.
Just put clockwork in and backup and install new ROM.

Can you not just put it in bootloader mode and replace the boot.img that way?

Exactly. Use PerfectBoot from here.
So this is the first thing to do, no rooting necessary. I suggest you try out Oxygen, and Miui (they both come prerooted). Why? They are based on Android 2.3.5, which has a much better battery life than the Huawei-ROMs and is much faster at the same time.
Is there any risk to brick my phone?
As long as you have CWM installed.. whatever happens you can always restore the files.. bricking it.. would be very hard.

I was on KI4 and I didn't loose anything when I flashed this.
This Rom has a lot of French apps preinstalled, but they can all be safely uninstalled.

How can i flash ?
How long should the ODIN download take? I've been watching it for well over 1/2 hour and am getting concerned.
EDIT: OK -- problem solved. But I'm not very happy with the Orange logo and all the French apps that I can't seem to erase -- going back to my Overcome 1.2
Can i flash by odin?

Once you reroot the HC 3.2 ROM, you can remove the Orange Apps.
Flash over XKI5 Asian ROM. All my downloaded apps and data is working fine without wipe.

Rom brandée Orange ?
Bootscreen/extinction Orange ?
Yes bootscreen orange, but easy to change I think.
Hello, but the same question.. could anybody help with removing of logo in start/exit and removing of french apps?
And yep,-I have root, and superuser, and titanium backup,and etc. what you can to recommend? thanks in advance
For removing Orange apps, just unistall them with Titanium backup for instance.
For the logo, there are 3 files to remove using Root Explorer :
In folder \System\Media\ - remove bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
In folder \System\Media\Video\Shutdown\ - remove shutdown.qmg
In folder \System\Etc\ - remove PowerOn.ogg
Or to remove apps, just need Root and RootExplorer
Orange apps are located in /System/App folder
Can someone post another download link??

Download a stock ROM from our backup here: http://qrac.zapto.org/Stock_ROMs/
"U8800 V100R001C00B138SP04%28Normal%29.rar" is Android 2.2 Froyo
"U8800V100R001C00B518G001 (Beta1.0)(Overseas Normal)(Gingerbread).zip" is Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread beta.
You will find the installation instructions inside the .zip or .rar file.
(I'm guessing you have made those Nandroid backups using an old CWM version.)

Is there any way to go back to flyme gingerbread after upgrading to flyme 1.0.1 ?
Depends on your model.
For the HK old dual core, see http://www.meizume.com/meizu-mx-firmware/14536-how-rollback-2-3-5-flyme-1-03-a.html
The CN model is a bit more of trouble as it involves reflashing the recovery partition.

The files that are downloaded from the link are .zip files, don't you need .bin files to update/rollback?
And yeah, I have the HK dual core version.

bin files are only needed for CN devices. HK can read both bin and zip

How do i make sure i have the HK version and not the CN version?
When i boot into the system upgrade menu, it says to "put the update.bin into the SD card, and then update the OS image!", doesn't say anything about a .zip file.
You own a CN device.
Sorry my answer wasn't true. I've seen that my HK device asks me for bin too...

In terminal either on the phone or in adb shell, run the command (cat /proc/uboot_version) without the parenthesis. If it returns "oversea" you have a HK device. If not, you have a CN device.
Or just try to flash a .zip firmware

It seems that the phone always asks for the current format. My phone asks for zip again.

Yeah sure, sorry for being vague. In the how-to it says to first update to 1.03, the files in the download are .zip files. What i'm not sure is how to update using the .zip files because i've only used .bin files. When i boot into the system upgrade menu(power+vol up), it says "put the update.bin into the SD card, and then update the OS image!" and with no mention about .zip files. So how do i update/rollback using the .zip file?
You flash them exactly like the bin files. if it is not working you own a CN device.

I couldn't flash the vanilla beta on my HK dual core after installing flyme 1.0.5
You may need to roll-back to gingerbread to obtain the gb bootloader and recovery, as it seems to be less picky so to speak.
Use this guide to accomplish this. Link!

no. it is the same recovery. even though it asks for an update.bin file it will accept update.zip
make sure that the update.zip you intend to flash is the only one on the sdcard root. ：)

Samsung I9300 XXUGMK6 Firmware for CWM
I'm offering you the complete Stock, unrooted XXUGMK6 Firmware including Modem and Kernel for I9300.
There are 4 zips.
First, all in one. Everything completely Stock, nothing modified. Note that this one will flash the XXUGMK6 modem and restore the stock recovery after a reboot. Wipe system, data, and cache before flash and make a backup of efs if you don't have one.

Then i have the official OTA update.zip for the people who want their unrooted stock odexed UGMJ9 to be updated easily. Directly from Samsung.
To be installed with CWM or Stock Recovery. It may work with rooted stock UGMJ9 firmwares, but NOT with deodexed or customized odex-files. It will remove Root and custom Recovery after the update because of the Kernel Update. Installs Update, Modem and Kernel.

Then there is the modem seperately. In case you're on a old Modem with efsv1 make a backup of efs partition, if you don't have one already.

First, you need to have stock MJ9 firmware. Then download the update.zip and place it in the root(base) folder of your external sd card. then shutdown the phone and unplug it. Display and everything should be black. Now were going into Recovery Mode. There are a bunch of videos on YouTube btw. Press first Volume Up and hold it, then home and while youre holding this, press the power button. release the power button when the phone goes on but still hold the 2 other buttons till its in recovery-mode. then select "apply update from external storage" and choose the update.zip. The rest should explain by itself.

BUT if you backup your EFS "now", you will always be able to reflash old EFS v1 partition and revert to old modems.

Do a backup of v1 and restore it after you flashed firmware with v2. no problem at all

No and no. Like the name CWM says (ClockWorkMod Recovery), its for custom recoveries. And it just wipes the system partition.

he is just stating we dont need multiple threads with the same content.
also like faryaab stated earlier in my dump, the thread cannot have the "[Official firmware]" tag, what you have is a repacked dump and an ota update package.
