Restoring of brick Huawei U8800.
All do at your own risk! I am not responsible for your machines!
Today I was able to magically (just wonderful, because it found the time at which there is a chance to run the update) to recovery from a brick Huawei U8800 (corrupted bootloader + recovery not run + in a pink screen not mounted hard drive + when trying to update the written Update failed! I spoke to a service center, they said the warranty is not the case and we must change the motherboard (the cost of 3-4 million BYR, new at the MTS salon cost 2.9 million BYR )
What and how I did:
1) To restore I'am using the firmware B162 Android.
2) Format the micro SD card that was clean (I was 8 gb, 2 class and be sure to FAT 32) and unpack "dload" folder and ".txt" file(with a strange name) from the downloaded archive to sdcard.
P.S. I say that not all flash drives can operate restore, I have like three went, normally only one.
3) Insert the micro SD into the phone and pull out the battery.
4) Hold down the Volume (+) and power up, hold and connect the phone via cable to your PC, your phone will be switched on and the logo appear, then turned off my phone (missing logo). So, when the logo will disappear (ie the phone will turn off) and immediately hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and power up.Main that the updating process can start only one time after the logo was gone, if after a few times in a row press both the volume keys and power up, updating does not start, it is necessary to re-clamp the volume (+) and the power up, after the disappearance of the logo, both the volume and the power up of ... I have to go to the upgrade process if you wrote "Update failed!", try again (I went with 2 times).
5) After a successful update, the phone will reboot, on reboot he should loaded the standard blue recovery.
6) Turn off the phone from the computer, insert the battery, hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and turn on, wait until you get a pink screen, release the button and connect it to your computer. You should see a new device and to define a disk drive with a folder "image". If we define - rejoice!) If not, then you need to install the driver on the internet enough to the driver, as well as the wood in my going to the Android SDK, not sure ...
7) Thus, we can assume the phone repaired) Download recovery 4.0.0.5 and unpack the archive and copy the file "recovery.img" to a folder "image" with the replacement. A man does not 4.0.0.5 recovery loaded, it is strange, but recovery 5.0.2.7 normally loaded
8.) Disconnect the phone from the computer, pull out / insert the battery and try to enter the recovery (volume (+) and power up).
9) If set, then everything is OK and can now be sewing. I still put 2.2 Geno v8.4 + software package from Google, but I recommend again read all instructions on the firmware, to avoid problems!
Good luck, hope that helped someone, he sat on the forums more than one day, but have not found a solution.
If someone has turned out, a sign of gratitude you can throw money on my phone +375297176005 (MTS, Belarus), would be very grateful
P.S.
Instructions is my and it's my first, that do not copy and paste, you can search the Internet. Do not judge strictly, if something is not designed ...
If there are people who helped, I think you can throw his hat in the description. My message is also present in our 4pda.
Hope springs eternal
Sorry for my english, I'm from Belarus and bad know it

Just thought I would mention it, if you connect the pink screen to Ubuntu/Linux, it will most likely mount.
Just tried this recovery method on a bricked U8800. Didn't do anything at all. Must admit that it was bricked in a way that i didn't see anything at all on the screen. Neither did i notice anything in dmesg on a linux machine.
Help
Hello.my huawei u8800pro v.2.3.5 brick after install official ice cream sandwich.I followed the procedure and now I have a new removable but I can't go to recovery mode!!can I install a new rom?
This is a painful message to write, but I am desparate. This should be so simple!
Have a U8800 standard (at least it says only "U8800" in settings/about phone.
What have I done:
- Upgraded some time ago to 2.3.5 Rev B522 from Huawei.
- Then rooted it with SuperOneClick.
- Installed ClockWorkMod from Play Store.
- Downloaded CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 stable from xda and placed the file into the /.cust-backup/image folder via Remount.
- Turned off Fast boot under settings/applications
:: What worked/happened.
- Rooting went fine, ES file explorer and others get root-permissions ok.
- But got into CWMRecovery only via CWM program (Choosing "Reboot into recovery"). Never with the holding buttons vol+ and power-button during power-on.
Figured it was that locked bootloader on B522 that was the problem.
What I did:
- Followed the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490 (Get your pink screen back).
- In CWM Recovery flashed "update-B518-bootloader.zip".
- Got "ok installed or something to that effect" from CWM Recovery.
:: What worked/happened.
- Still could not get into CWMRecovery via button-holding. Tried reflashing the B518 bootloader a few times, but just no difference.
Read somewhere that each Huawei firmware-release comes with it's own bootloader, so lets try to install Huawei B518.
- Only place I could find the image was here http://huaweiideosx5.blogspot.no/2012/03/u8800-b518-23-software.html
- U8800V100R001C00B518G001.zip
- Had to take out the external SD-card to get the /sdcard/dload directory on the internal SD-card.
-Seems to be important to have dload on the internal SD-card and not the external.
- Booting the phone with vol+, vol-, power did not start the downgrade, but was able to trigger it via settings/storage/software upgrade.
After downgrade to B518 (Checked version in settings/about phone):
- Deleted /sdcard/dload directory.
- Rooted with SuperOneClick
- Installed ClockWorkMod from play store again.
- Put CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 into ./cust_backup/image again (think this was unecessary. I think it was already there but did it anyways)
- Turned off Fast boot under settings/applications.
:: What worked/happened.
- The phone is now in B518 software, but still can not get into CWM Recovery via keypressing at boot.
I hold the vol+ and power-buttons all the way to "desktop" so to say, but can not for the life of me get into CWM Recovery that way. Getting into CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 via instructing CWM application to boot into recovery works fine, though.
I am drooling at the thought of ICS Aurora, but I don't dare before I can reliably get into CWM Recovery via keypress.
Sorry if this is very stupid post, but I have tried so much.
Maybe the volume buttons are faulty? Turn off the phone and try this: hold down volume up; while holding press power button as long as the logo comes up. Release power button but continue holding volume up. If it did not work, try doing same with volume down.
Yeah, do what Blefish advised you but do it while the phone is off and charging. I have a kinda broken power key and with this 'trick' it boots faster and more reliable. Keep holding the 3 buttons until you see the recovery.
Sent from my U8800
Thank you both for trying to help me here!
Unfortunately I have had no luck with your suggestions.
Re: Broken keys.
Power and volume-buttons seems to work well when the phone is on. Also when I boot into recovery through the CWM program, navigate to advanced/key-test, the vol+, vol- and power button seems to work well there too.
On pressing the power-button, CWM-R reports Key: 116
On pressing the vol+-button, CWM-R reports Key: 115
On pressing the vol--button, CWM-R reports Key: 114
So I think the keys must be ok, right?
Blefish: I did what you suggested, as I understood it.
When the phone boots, there are three stages of logos.
1. A static logo of Huawei's red "fan?".
2. A short "comet" animation.
3. An animated logo of Huawei's "fan", where some highlight flashes from left to right over the fan.
I hold the power-button in until I see the first static logo, then let go of the power-button and hold the volume-key(s).
Is this the same stage in the boot-process that you were thinking of?
I have tried vol+, vol- and both vol+ and vol-, together with releasing the power-button at that point.
Have not had any success with that, and ended on the "desktop" each time.
AceDroidX: I tried your suggestion as well.
I did this:
1. Shut down the telephone
2. Plugged in the power.
3. A "fan"-logo appears which is replaced by an animated battery.
4. Upon seeing the animated battery, I tried the various key-hold variants.
- vol+ and power : Ended up at desktop.
- vol- and power : Ended up at desktop.
- vol+ and vol- and power : Ended up at desktop.
So not much success either.
I am out of ideas... Can it be that B522 bootloader that still lingers in there, not replaced by installing the B518 software?
Well, idk what else to suggest.. Maybe your problem is here?
Downloaded CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 stable from xda and placed the file into the /.cust-backup/image folder via Remount.

I remember that when i mount my phone in linux, there was a partition with just the image folder. Some files like boot.img and recovery.img where there. Try to put the recovery image in there and see if it makes any difference.
I'd like see your versioninfo, can you upload a screenshot?
You can check mine from B528
AceDroidX: When I use Remount, I am able to mount that partition as read/write so that I can copy CWM's Recovery image in there. I think it is identical as mounting it up remotely, as you do. I am after all able to boot into CWM-Recovery, just not by key-pressing? I suppose I could boot into Linux and try to mount up the partitions as you do.
Hi kilroystyx: I can not figure out where to find a similar-looking page as the one you have in your picture.
I have the settings/about phone, if that is an older version of what you have there?

Based on the screenshots your installation is fine.
Just one last shoot based on what AceDroidX says, with phone off press Vol+ and hold then connect USB cable to PC or charger and stay holding Vol+ then wait...wait and what you see?
hi all,
i'm using some ics roms and it seems ics supports natively vol++power button to take screenshots but it doesnt work for me... do you know if there are some custom ics rom where it will work?
thank you
Wow.. It is hard to believe.. but I have actually ... eventually found a way to get into that CWM-Recovery every time.
It is a combination of your suggestions.
I have been doing variations, trying to figure something out and eventually there is a method.
What I must do, on this phone, in order to get into CWM-R is this:
1. If the charging cable is in, then unplug first.
2. Turn the phone off.
3. Take out the battery and put it back in.
- This makes a difference on my phone, at least. I am not able to get into CWM-R wihtout taking the battery out first.
4. Press and hold Vol+
5. With Vol+ being pressed continously, insert the charging-cable.
6. Wait for the Fan-animation to finish and the "battery-charging" animation to start.
7. When the battery-charging animation is running and the screen eventually goes black, keep holding the Vol+ button for some time.
- Sometimes it works to keep holding the Vol+ button for only a second or two. Sometimes I must hold it up to 30 seconds.
7. Press and hold the power-button in addition to the Vol+
8. Wait for CWM-Recovery to start.
Thank you very much for your help.
Now I think I can try for ICS!

I have decided to upgrade my Huawei U8800Pro stock ICS 4.0.3 to CyanogenMod 10.2 JB 4.3.
Quickly I realized that this is easily said than done. Tutorials I have found on the Internet are not good. They lead me to brick my phone twice during this process, so I've decided to share my experience with community. Here are step by step instructions:
Prerequisites:
I didn't bother to write any hyper-links, because they will probably be dead by the time you read this. Instead I wrote name of the files you can search in google.

404029_4.0_BasebandCWM.zip
When you have all those in place, you can start with procedure:
Install USB drivers for your phone. Run DriverSetup.exe
Connect your phone to USB and wait to get detected. Then run unlockbootloader_u8800pro.exe (chose first button and wait).
Optionaly download Root Checker from Google Play to see if your phone was rooted. You can skip this step.
Copy dload folder to root of your SD card
Unplug USB cable and turn phone off

Turn off your phone
Press Volume up + Power on at the same time and hold till you see recovery console
Chose factory reset
Chose clear cache

Flash cm-10.2-20130929-U8800pro-VIDEOPLAYBACK.zip
Flash gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Reboot your phone
Wait till setup wizard of CynogenMod apears
If all went well you should have CyanogenMod upp and running on your phone.
I'm not responsible If you brick your phone. I did it twice before I finally succeeded :laugh:.

i'm using u8800 pro.i installed CM10.2.but wifi is not working on my phone and gapps also not working.....pls help.....
OK so hi guys,
after I tried, search, read tons of stuff, I finally decided to post a thread because I have no clue what else I could do.
I have have a lenovo tab4 8 plus / tb-8704x tablet by my hand and it only boots into the recovery menu like u hold volume down and power.
1. I don't know what happened to it before, I got it like it is.
2. If u plug in powe supply the red led blinks and u can only power it on by holding power for around 10 seconds, then the lenovo logo -> then recovery menu
3. Also If I hold down volume down and power it on it boots into the test app, to test if all stuff works.
4. In the test app I tested the volume buttons and recognized the up button had no response, so I took it apart and measured it. And if I press volume up then I get a good reading (peep). So the volume keys both are good.
5. The I tested flash a stock rom to test if that fixed the problem. I used TB_8704X_S001025_190606_ROW from the lenovo rescue program, but if I try to flash it inside the recovery menu over SD Card it only said wrong footer, error 21.
6. So i decided to use the qfil and the base stock rom TB-8704X_S000026_170707_ROW_QFIL. And after I always get sahara error messages if I use it only windows 10, I booted up an old win xp PC installed version .460 and the Qualcomm drivers, then hold down volume up plugged in USB, clicked the right Qualcomm com port and all went well first try no errors.
7. Then I unplugged the tablet, hold down power until it reboots but still nothing only recovery menu.
That's why I decided to post here, in hope someone can help, has new ideas or something else.
I hope all is good understandable.
//edit I uploaded to images, that's what I get if I boot f.e. the latest stock rom (named as factory_update.zip) from lenovo on an fat32 formatted sd card (exfat will give error and is not been able to mount)
Update:
I also managed to update to the latest rom from lenovo. Then it boots again in recovery mode but a different error.
For testing I've put the sd card with the same lasted update file inside. Then it starts the update process again. It starts install, tries to erase and then error and it boots again and then I'm in a boot loop until I remove the SD (because the image is named factory_update.zip so it's auto starts update process)
Pictures in attachment
Im pretty sure after all my testing, it's a hardware failure so, this thread can be closed.
