Good day
So here is my question
What version of rom can i use to upgrade this one ?
Because now we have
1: HUAWEI IDEOS X5 ( this is the one i have i guess )
2: U8800
3: U8800Pro
4: U8800-51
when lookin at the website from Huawei i do not see any upgrades for the HUAWEI IDEOS X5
just for the U8800 , U8800Pro , U8800-51
Thats why i ask this
Do i have to root the phone first ?
What programm can i use to back up old rom and contacts , photo's ext ext
Well hope you all can help me out Any link or readme file would do
Thnx already for any answer
Ideos x5=u8800.
Root your phone for unofficial roms and install clockworkmod. Links are in development section.
For rooting i suggest z4root or superoneclick.
For backups, use titanium backup, get from market.
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
You have U8800 which is IDEOS X5. You can find official updates here: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3791&tb=0
You dont need to root it if youw ant to install official updates - just do what it says in the pdf that is in zip. You can export contacts to SD or link them to your google account, for apps download mybackup (or similar) and for phoos you probably have them on SD so just copy them to your PC and after the update you can copy them back to SD. The B522 update is gingerbread (2.3.5) and B138 is FroYo (2.2).
If you want to install custom ROMs then you will have to root it and install custom recovery. Here is a great guide: http://android.modaco.com/topic/341011-ultimate-guide-to-the-huawei-u8800/
But with this guide you will only be able to use .32 kernel ROMs (old CM7, oxygen, old MIUI). If you want to use .35 kernel ROMs then you will have to first install official 2.3.5 (B522) and then root it and change recovery using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728 (you dont have to remove bundled apps if you dont want to. Also dont forget to unlock bootloadr if you are going to isntall offficial 2.3.5 (you can find tutorial by blefish in development forum)
Thnx allot mate will start reading it all
And later on i will report back how it went
Again thnx mates
I have installed the latest gingerbread
What a difference against froyo
Works like a charm
now i will see what custom rom is the best to get

Hi Folks
Kiran here...Im using DELL XCD 35 (ZTE BLADE)...Its currently running on 2.2 froyo...Could you please lemme know if there is any update available for this phone...I mean is it up-gradable to Gingerbread or can we root this phone to get the latest OS...If so could you please guide me how to root this phone safely...Im a beginner and i have no real idea of how to root a phone....
Thanks in advance....
Kiran
Yes you basically have to root then install ROM Manager and install ClockworkMod from that app and then download ROMs and flash .
For GB ROMs you have stock ROM based on 2.3.5 and custom roms like swedish snow and cyanogen 7 and many more look here at XDA and modaco for them.
Be sure to take a back up of stock rom.
There are lots of rom's which are on Gingerbread . Explore this place for the same.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ccrnoyc738078aq FLASH WITH that rom with rsd,restart with stock recovery and wipe data cashe,restart ,now is froyo.root and put what you want,MIUI CM7 WORKS GOOD ,NOT RIGHT DOWNGRADE BUT IS FUNCTIONAL
i think it's not possible right now
According to this SBF thread there is today no downgrade from the (2.3.6) 4.5.1-134-DFP-132
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
maybe in future if Motorola unlock bootloader... (or if/when someone hacks it)
Use only the nandroid backup, I tried it but will not or do not know ,i tried cm7 cm7.2 cm9 wont work

Hello,
First I'm new here and the rule of posting 10 times before being able to post in development section is not to fair I must say.
Well, I would like to try the MIUI based Elite ROM v9.6 Multilanguage 2012-02-01.
I know that I have its recommended to downgrade to a 2.2 version such as U8800 V100R001C00B138SP04(Normal).
We should repeat this downgrad process at least 3 times.
And then what we need to do more?
Should we root it and then install a CWM or I can just install the CWM and boot directly in recovery to install the MIUI based Elite?
Also, which CWM should be used?
Thank you
I dont think it really requires the stock to be installed 3 times, but if you have time, just do it. After it install CWM and flash the rom. no need to root. cwm version 5.0.2.6 works.

sounds like you tired to install over a froyo rom/kernel, did you upgrade to 2.3 official before installing the .35 recovery and rom?

hi
i am using miui from the last few months now, i installed cyanagen , all these roms are based on 2.3 and at present i am using miui_u8800_2.2.24 andi tried to install rom from this rom only, i dont use froyo, but still the problem persists,
can u help
You need to install OFFICIAL 2.3.5 if you want to use .35 kernel ROMs (new CM7.2, Aurora, new MIUI...). It is not enough if you just install a custom 2.3 ROM beacuse older 2.3 ROMs use .32 kernel, so you need to update to official 2.3.5 which also changes some other files so you can use .35 kernel and from official you can go to .35 kernel custom ROMs.
now different prob

hi
thanks for what u said but
i installed official 2.3.5 but now there is no imei and when i try to load into pink screen to change the recovery, it is not mounting, seems there r no files in it,
please help
and also when i revert back to 2.2 it shows files in boot screen in boot loader (pink Screen) and there i can change the latest recovery 5.5.0.4 but again the problem is back to .32, is there any way i can install only kernel to first change from .32 to .35 and then try to install a different rom (.35)
i would also like to add the official update i used was Android 2.3 V100R001C00B526G001 and now there is one more update Android 2.3 V100R001C00B528G001, currently i am downloading that, i will let u know what happens after i download that

You can change recovery with root explorer. Here is a great guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
Every ROM from beta2 on has locked bootloader so you cant change files when in pink screen but you can unlock it after you rooted it and changed recovery (search development forum for tutorial)
Problem solved

Helo all,
Since my fisrt custom ROM, OXYGEM, my carrier name changed, even now, when i'm using the Aurora ICS rom from DZO, after installing the previous stock roms, the carrier name is not the one that was supost to be.
My girlfriend has the same phone. she was using the stock rom yet. I installed the Aurora ICS and the carrier name is right!
Do you know how can i overwrite tis problem? there's a file or something that I can copy from her phone.
Tanks
I suggest you to install official 2.2 or 2.3 to restore sytems to normality.
than you just root and instal CWM and custom rom again.
To install custom cum you can skip the root part off course...

To install the Aurora ICS ROM i had to downgrade to stock 2.2 and install the 2.3 official rom!
So, i gues it doesn't resolve the problem! =/
