There is instructions in the originalpost. But when you have downloaded the file from multiupload and unpacked it, copy the update.zip file to the root of the sdcard.
Reboot into Xrecovery and choose install update.zip from SD card. Select the update.zip and press the middle button on your phone.

Well... this is how i installed mine.. i was a noob too.. lol a scared noob..
You do know how to get into xrecovery right? if yes then do the following
Download the Minicm file.. (update_2.zip) copy it to your SD card... DONT EXTRACT!
now on xrecovery
scroll down to Install Custom ZIP
choose from sd card
choose the file whatever u downloaded.. and hit the menu button.. let it install.. when done do a factory reset and the reboot phone..

Flash in Xrecovery, but use option: Install custom zip

okk...thanks for the help..

It is simple...
Download all the filles you need.
Xrecovery install files on your phone.
It install from default the update.zip on yours card root, but it has an option for custum files (it let you browse your card to chooze zip file)
So you have to install rom and then fixes...
Put all files on your card root (if rom zip and fixes zip have the same name, rename the fixes zip)
Ok, boot in xrecovery (restart phone and tap back key untill xrecovery come up, befor sony animation) , buck up first everything. (it has a buck up option, browse there and click buck up, navigate with volume keys, enter with home key, go back with back key)
Then click install update zip or install custum zip(...browse to file) , this will install the rom file.
After that reboot phone and if you manage to get on the rom then installation would be sussesful, it take some time to boot the first time. If your phone only reboot continius then boot on xrecovery and restore your back up.
Then if rom installed sussesfull, boot on xrecovery and install fixes (from costum zip or from update zip), reboot your phone and again if you manage to get on rom install was sussesful or if your phone reboot continius then restore buck up from xrecovery.
I am not responcible for what ever you do on your phone.
From this prosess your hardware sould not be harmed, so phone can be fixed what ever hapends.
Cool down and make your options, the worst case senario: you lose some data and make an update to your phone from pc suite.

[Q] - How Can I get MIUI on this Bravo

I have miui on HTC inspire. So i know how to get it on that phone, but my battery is dead so i'm waiting for a new battery. In the mean time, I'm using the bravo.
So how do I get it on there?
Here's what i done so far:
1) update to sbf 2.2.1, rooted superclickone
2)downloaded moto recovery bootstrap, that got me into cwm.
so i try to download a miui from this forum lnk, and when i update from the sd card, i restart and it stays on the motorol logo forever. however i try to update the file , i get to infinite logo. I must be doing it wrong.
There was a forum about nandroid backup, and I put the file in the clockworkmod/backup but it will not see the files. It's not as easy as the HTC inspire. So if anyone can help and give me a step by step instruction I would appreciated from getting being root to miui.

Hi
You need to extract the zip file into clockworkmod/backup folder
at the end you should have a new folder in backup and that folder should have various .img files and an md5 file

thanks it works!
I can do a restore with CM7. but what about getting miui? I tried to install from zip, but after reboot, it will just hang on the motorola logo. i assume you don't do a restore like CM7, cause there is no checksum in the miui zip file.

Just incase anyone was having as much trouble as I am trying to install MIUI.
I first try Bravo recovery but it just didn't work, only for cm7 for some reason. So i search a little more and tried defy recovery and all is good.
Anyone I'm post what I did for future me, if I need to go back to bravo for any reason.
find sbf 2.2.1 just incase
download bravo driver and rsd lite.
Root with superoneclick
download defy 2ndint from market
follow BravoMotorola instructions on any new MIUI defy update (download at miuiandriod.com
1) Open ROM in Winzip
2) Delete all the folders and files except for "system"
3) Download this mediafire.com/?jfgb5g3t8k2lkrb
4) Extract files "motorola" and "META-INF" to a known location
5) Move extracted "META-INF" to / (root) of the ROM
6) Delete folder "motorola in /system/ect
7) Move extracted "motorola" to /system/ect
Then follow RDANNAR instructions
1) DO NOT LEAVE RECOVERY MENU UNTIL YOU ARE COMPLETELY DONE WITH INSTALL
2) download and place on sdcard
3) reboot into recovery menu
4) format data in recovery
5) wipe Dalvik in advanced menu of recovery
6) wipe Cache in recovery
7) choose install zip and click to install ROM
8) reboot and give it some time for first boot

im a noob a lil confused after reading a lot of thread, so what are the steps to get miui on to bravo?

[Recovery] Unofficial CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7[u8800pro&u8800]

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
unofficial Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.7 for u8800pro and u8800 [upgrade to offical 2.3 GB]
Installation Instructions (upgrading - root explorer method):
Using any file explorer which is able to remount as writeable (such as root explorer), browse to the /cust_backup directory and remount it as writeable
Navigate to the image directory and backup up the current recovery by renaming it to something like recovery.bak, or _recovery.img
Rename the downloaded recovery to recovery.img and copy to the image directory.
Installation Instructions (new install):
Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off
Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.
Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see recovery.img etc.
(optional) Rename recovery.img to recovery_backup.img
copy the new recovery.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.
Hold volume + and power to boot to recovery.
Install any custom rom
change：
mod the kernel,Ums is worked now
use zte u880‘s charge png
can install zip from emmc and use emmc backup&restore
add ext4 fs support
about SDcard
if you can't mount SDcard in recovery,do this:
enter "advanced"--"Reboot Recovery"
then you could use the SDcard
ps:this is issue of offical GB,not recovery!

Got it. Unofficial...

Tested on u8800 and works very good. SD card sometimes can't mout properly, but i guess it's not an issue from CMW.
I've done a official GB backup, restored without a glitch, installed ICS demo without any problem too.

Can I upgrade my u8800 to official beta 2.3.5 and use this CWM to upgrade to cm7 or miui if I won't be able to use ics demo?
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App

Yes.
Sent from my ragelis

for me does not work. after several times trying to restore my miui backup (the onlyy one) it gave random errors some times, but after I was able to restore 2 times, I cant pass the miui boot.

Was it a backup you did with this CWM version? Or with the stockwell's CWM? The old backups don't work with this one I believe.

the backup its before this version of course. but even with this new CWM I cant flash new rom. I says error blablabla id u8800pro. I installed this because I wanted to try new ICSrom but now Im stuck to it lol

Have you flashed official GB before installing this recovery? I think you need to do that before this works in the original U8800.

yes I did ! the ICS works but not others.

Hmm, I tried to restore my backup from yesterday done with stockwells 5.0.2.6 recovery and my phone got ****ed up. I know I shouldn't have done this but I just had to try. xD Now I can't get past the Huawei logo, when I push the power the phone starts but just turns off after couple of seconds. I can get to bootloader (pink screen) but not to recovery. I hope no one else has tried this and I hope I get my phone working again.
Would anyone have any advice how to get my phone back up and running? Or should I just go bring it to warranty support?

have you tried to replace the recovery.img from this topic again? that happened to me too when I tried to go back with CWM v4 but then I replaced with this

Have I bricked my phone?

Was using the latest version of Oxygen up until yesterday, with a custom partition (by Geno.Kolar), and decided I wanted to update to Aurora.
Followed the instructions linked in the first post of the thread, but didn't revert my partition to original before doing so.
I managed to install the original stock 2.2.1 rom, and then proceeded to install 2.3.4, however it would make it to the boot animation and just cycle through the animation endlessly (though very jerky).
I put my partition table back to originals and tried again, this time the update was failing right at the end.
Decided that I really needed a working phone, so I tried to restore a nandroid backup I had made right before, after restoring the partition table, but it's failing at the data partition.
Seems I'm unable to mount or format the data partition, so I can't install anything.
Any suggestions?
Tried these instructions without luck:
Download mediafire.com/?1hbk6n46hgamyt6
Unzip it, and find UPDATE.APP
Put UPDATE.APP in a dload folder and upload to empty sdcard.
Put sdcard in phone, and hold vol+/- and power and flash it.
After phone has restarted pull battery.
Download http://www.mediafire.com/?6hrfz36b8e2vw87
Unzip and copy the dload folder to empty sdcard.
Hold vol+/- and power and flash it.
After it fails near the end or if it restarts then pull battery.
Download a rooted boot.img and a clockworkmod recovery.img (got both mine from links at modaco)
Attach phone to PC in pink screen mode and delete the boot.img and recover.img files.
Upload the downloaded root.img and recovery.img to image folder in phone.
Download any custom rom from XDA, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1475687 and upload it to sdcard
Pull battery.
Hold vol+ and power and go into clockworkmod, wipe everything and flash the custom rom!!
UPDATE:
I can get to recovery (using CWM 5.5.0.4), however if I attempt to format the data partition, it gives me the following E:format_volume: make:extf3fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
How would I get around this?
Thanks!

Heh, looks like I haven't.
Managed to get it working again by using Geno's original partition, and then flashing Oxygen again.
Thanks!

Huawei U8800 Aurora ROM Questions

Hi all!
This is my first post and I am new to rooting so I will not know as much advanced techniques/terms so please be patient.
I decided to root my phone to install a custom ROM (Thats what everyone wants, right?), more specifically to get a newer version of Android. I found the Aurora ROM by Dzo and I flashed 2.04 and it seems very fluid and fast. I didn't upgrade from the official 2.3 because I couldn't find the files. I'm really liking the ICS environment.
My first question is: How do I find/install a baseband? I want to use this as my daily ROM and I can't do much without signal.
Second, My battery indicator is not working and how do I fix this?
Thirdly, When I put the device to sleep for about 5 secs or more it will not wake up and reboots. Is this fixed with a later patch?
And lastly, What upgrade pattern should I use to get up to 5.0? (e.g. 2.04-2.5-2.6 etc or jump straight to a version and go from there)
Thanks in advance

First of All,you must install official gingerbread for install ICS.
Your problems (battery and baseband) are causing by old amss.bin (baseband) and old bootloader.
First,install official gingerbread with code name V100R001C00B518G001. If you install this version,you must not do root for install Aurora ICS.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lws54xxb3lcm7di
If you install it,You must install CWM 5.0.2.8 or CWM 5.0.2.7 or CWM 6.0.2.8 or CWM 5.5.0.4 or TWRP Recovery. My prefence is install CWM 6.0.2.8
Here is 6.0.2.8;
http://code.google.com/p/forumber-projects-for-u8800/downloads/detail?name=recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-2.6.35.7-u8800.img&can=2&q=
1.Download the recovery
2.Remove SD Card and delete dload folder in phone's internal memory (if exists).
3.Power on the device while pushing volume up and down buttons.
4.If the pink screen appears,connect the phone to PC and wait for detect the phone
5.Rename downloaded img file to recovery.img and copy it to image folder in mass storage in Pink Screen
6. Download latest Aurora 5.0 and update 20 and copy those files to your sd card.
7. Power On the phone while pressing volume up button.
8. Backup the system to your sd card
9. Do "Wipe data/factory set"
10.Install Aurora 5.0,then install update 20
11.Reboot the system. And that's it! Enjoy the ICS

Just one question, Do I install gingerbread without the device rooted? and do I have to wipe my phone?

You can install offical gingerbread on rooted ROM. You don't need to wipe because the system will do wipe automaticly

No. You do not have to wipe. But you can if you want.
To install official gingerbread, you can install it over a rooted or a non rooted device. It doesn't matter because when you install gingerbread. The device will automatically be un rooted. You would have to root your device again after installing official gingerbread.
The easiest way to root gingerbread is to use SuperOneClick. Here is a tutorial for rooting your gingerbread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
In the link above, just do the steps under 'Rooting the U8800 with SuperOneClick v2.3.3' and 'Installing ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 on your U8800'.
I hope I helped. Good Luck and have fun rooting!

When I try to flash the Gingerbread ROM, It says Installation aborted. Why is this?
I am using CWM 5.5.0.4

That's not right...

You do not flash official firmware with CWM.
You must extract the file that you have downloaded.
After extracting it, keep going into the extracted files until you find a folder called 'dload'.
Copy this dload folder to the root of sdcard.
Now, power on your phone by pressing and holding down the power + volume up + volume down buttons all together.
The phone will automatically start installing the official android 2.3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't understand anything then you are welcome to ask me about it. I will explain it to you.
Good Luck!
