hi, i have this phone, i tried to update it, i got "update failed" message. Now i have this situation:
if i power up the phone i get a blue screen
if i start with vol+/vol-/power i get a pink screen
if i start with vol+/power i get a blue screen
I can access the microsd using an sd adapter
i can access the phone connecting it to my mac when it is in blue or pink screen, but i see an EMPTY 267 mb memory, i suppose i somehow deleted the phone system files (i remember folders like android, image...). Is there any way to solve this?
Thank you
Hi...i haven't an answer but i have you're problem.... HELP ME!!!
same here
Hello, no answer either but I have the same issue after updating my U8800Pro : blue screen on normal start which needs the battery to be taken out to restart.
When on pink screen and connected to the computer, I can only see an empty folder...
Let me know if there is any known solution.
Thanks
try to flash it without battery inserted. Just put your flash file into sd-card, put it into phone, pull out the battery hold "+" and "-" and at the same time insert usb cable. Wait until upgrade process starts. Thats it

I am trying to flash my XDA with the Radio_Stack_Upgrade_v421.exe, the flashing freezez on either 45% complete, or 53% complete. After being frozen for several minutes the XDA just announces "Flashing failed! press OK to restart you device", if I do press OK it just boots and the same thing happens all over again.
the XDA is connected to a Compaq laptop running WinXP. With no other programs running besides active sync (as requested in the installation guide)
After the Radio Stack Upgrade (if I ever get this to work), I would be installing the much larger Radio_Unit_Upgrade_v31703.exe, so I might in for even more trouble than this...
Any help from you guys? what am I obivously doing wrong here?
More trouble:
Since the ROM flashing didn't go through I deleted the files autorunning the flash from the XDAs startup directory: now it boots as normal without tyring to do the ROM flash after each boot.
I noticed that I was supposed to flash the radio unit upgrade first, and after that the radio stack upgrade (not the other way around as I was tyring).. However now I cannot do the radio unit flash either: since a strange new feature has appeared. The XDA device does not recognize connecting the power cord at all. The radio unit flash requires that the AC power is attached: and even thou it IS attached, the damn machine doesnt recognize that and refuses to start the flashing.
Iv trying reseting the XDA several times by pressing that hidden button on the left-down side of the machine. Doesn't help: in all occasions, connected to the PC or not, It fails to recognize the AC connection. It also gives zero informaiton on battery life: just says that it is "unknown"
What I can I do to restore the XDA to a factory default state? or make it recognize the AC power connection?
Any help apprechiated, thanks!
Tried hard reset now the XDA won't boot this time. its gets to the opening screen where reads 3.12 and a tad later the letters G and U appear. After a rather long wait, about 2 minutes or so, it says "beep" and a plain white pocket windows style window appears - after which the XDA seems to be completely frozen. When I place it in the cradle, the PC cannot connect to it, and just nothing at all happens. How do I recover from this?
Sorry for the multiple posts..
I too have the same problem. After trying the new ROM upgrade the unit hangs. Nothing is possible. Only a white screen flashes after hard reset. How to fix this to come to it's original state?. Now when booting can see only 3.17.03 and G and R is blank. Then the white screen keeps on flashing. Pls. help.
Thanks

Is the screen totally white or are there blocks in the screen. This sort of problem has been linked to an stk.lnk in the startup folder. Delete it see what happens.

The screen is not totally white: it has a blue bar on top of the screen. Also when this screen first appears there is a brief loud "beep" sound. After which it frozez.
How do you propose I delete the file? Since the device is unconnectable through USB, and does not boot into normal mode, what can I do?
I have already tried a hard reset with no luck: it just seems to get the XDA to the state its already in (no change in situation)

Still the same "SNAFU" situation here. Any toughts before I use the XDA device to warm up my fire place?
Hello XDA-devs forums,
I'm having an issue since yesterday.
I have rooted my Huawei Ideos X5, and it ran fine for a day or so.
However, when my battery ran out it shut down into a completely blue screen.
When I tried booting it again, this just showed me a blue screen as well.
Now, I fixed this issue by connecting the phone to my PC after booting it with the Vol+ and Vol- pressed.
(So you get the pink/purple screen)
However, when I opened the phone on my PC, all I saw was a "239 MB" "empty" space, and it should have ~2GB..
I placed a backup copy I saved of my "image" folder in that 239 MB storage, and it booted.
However, today I hooked it up to my PC again to see if it magically changed..
And I couldn't access the 239 MB space anymore.
When I tried fixing the issue with a reboot of the phone, that just caused it to get stuck in a booting loop.
So now I'm stuck with a phone that keeps trying to boot itself,
and I can't access it on my windows PC.
I can, however, access 4 different folders of the phone on my linux notebook.
Now, my question is: can someone with a good understanding of problems like these please help me out?
I'm getting kind of fed up with it, as I've only got the phone for 2 days now.
Thank you in advance, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Have you tried removing the battery for 5 minutes and then putting it back in?
After this, what happens when you press VOL+ and Power?
How about if you press VOL+, VOL- and Power, without the USB cable?
Hello Katu, thank you for posting.
Regarding your questions:
Yes, I have tried to take out the battery for 5+ minutes- it didn't change anything to the situation unfortunately..
If I press VOL+ and Power at the same time, the device boots into recovery mode.
In this I have tried to format the device in order to reset it to factory defaults, but this did not help either.
When I press VOL+, VOL- and Power, the phone boots into the pink/purple screen.
Can you try a custom recovery and a custom rom? I want to see if your onboard flash is borked.

I had the same when my phone got f*ucked up. Put the image folder, than download official rom, like b138 and install it. then check your imei. There is a change that it will be 0.

Well, I used an original ROM:
U8800 V100R001C00B136(Overseas General version)
And that resulted in the boot.img being corrupted, so I can't even overwrite that anymore.
Also, this is what I see when I hit VOL+, VOL- and Power at the same time to boot into safe mode, and connect it to my PC.

I installed the official B136 rom, and after it rebooted, it would just hang on a black screen.
(it used to show the IDEOS or Android logo when it booted)
Hmm mine came with this Rom
U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01 ( general )
Looking at your name you're from the Netherlands ( so am I )
where did you get this 136 version from ?
I would try to put this one on it
You have to put the 'dload' folder into the root of your SD Card,
then boot into boot-loader, after that it'll automatically flash back to the stock Rom.
1 Format SD card
2 On the SD card, create "dload" folder
3 Put the unzipped Rom into "dload" folder
4 Then boot to bootloader (pink screen)
Yes, mine came with that version as well.
However, I couldn't find it anymore and thus downloaded the version I said earlier.
Also, I did everything as you described, except step 4.
You have to boot to recovery instead of bootloader. (VOL+ and Power)
Anyways, I managed to get ClockworkMod's recovery.img on my phone,
and from there on install a custom ROM on the phone, which magically got it working again - even though it didn't work earlier.
Thank you for reading my thread and taking the time to reply to it.
My issue has been resolved.
just for the record, flashing a stock rom is different from flashing a custom rom..
the 4 steps described by Gman2oo6 is the correct way to flash a stock rom (and it is written clearly in the document that is in the stock rom zip file)
[edit]
step (1) is not a necessary step though..
Yeah, I noticed that.
What I did was format my SDcard with FAT32,
and put a custom rom (update.zip) on the SDcard.
I then booted ClockworksMod Recovery and installed the custom rom from the SDcard.
When I tried installing the stock rom, I just followed the PDF file's instructions that came with the stock rom.
hey i udated to GB 2.3.4 (official)and i didnt like the it cuz the wifif ddnt work and the bluetooth also the DATA so itryed to downgrade to 2.2.2 original official and it did the 2/2 steps intalled and when it restarted it did not want to turn on all that happened was it vibrated and thats all so i left it on like that and when the battery died i plugged it in to the AC and the LED turned on red and the touch kkeys also but not the screen so i really NEED help!
Try to turn it on with lead connected but no battery and see if you can start it.
My battery also went dead flat this morning and I couldn't get it started at all till I tried this. Once I got it started the only thing I could do was quickly pop in the batery and let it charge. Just leave off the cover till you get it going.
I have to add that I did not have the problem of a failed update to deal with but it may at least get you started
i tryed it
nope nothin good happened all that happens is a blank screen with nothin on ,LED is off and the touch keys are off. it justz vibrates and when i put the battery it turn the LED on to red and the touch keys turn on but then like 5 min later the LED and keys turn off

ok heres what i did i wanted to upgrade my phone to the newest version GB 2.3.4.So what i did was download the update and i followed the installation steps i successfully updated to Gb 2.3.4. so like i was checking how it look and the new feature but when i wanted to go on the android market i went to setting and turn on the wifi and it said Error and then i tried the Bluetooth and it said Error also so then i put my SIMs card in and i was like imma use DATA then and when i restarted my phone it had service but no HSPA+ or Edge or GPRS so like i just hatted my phone from their so then i was trying to root it but iddnt know how to do that so like i read this website and i got the UPDATE.APP or 2.2.2 AT&T did the same steps of the installation of BG 2.3.4 and it went to the process and 1/2 stepp good it passed and then 2/2 also passed it installed it and when it said Successively Installed it said Restarting and the scrren turn of and it vibrated and thats all that happened and i left it like that for the whole days and nothing happened
Do u got any idea?
When i connect it to my laptop it says installing drivers .then its says sucesfully installed drivers ready to use. so then i got to Device Manger and i check what has been installed and their it said USB Human interface device and HID-compliant device WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
Not sure about the HID (human interface device) probably just the way windows sees the device for interfacing with it. With regards to the not booting I have read a lot of people saying that you need to factory reset and clear cache after the upgrade/downgrade. With the phone off, turn it on by long pressing volume+ and power on button till you get the blue recovery screen and from there you can reset factory/ data and also clear the cache. from what I see this should clear up the problem and start up. Please read this thread, it may help you somehow..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
Hope this helps a little
U mean Boot recovery and imma try it and thanks ill check it out

I know things like this are asked many many times, but I couldn't find a way to get it working :-(
I've got a Huawei u8800+ from merimobiles yesterday. The first time I tried to get into recovery mode the phone was going for a firmware update and got stuck at step 1/2 "update failed", so I had to pull out the battery. So from ths point on, everytime I boot my phone (without an sd card) it keeps on updating (and failing). So I tried to get the pink screen and connected the phone to my pc. I then accidentally formatted the image dir on the phone instead of the sd card
Here are the problems I'm facing
1. Without an sd card the phone always tries to update.
2. With a sd card and a dload folder I get a blue screen (normal boot, boot with volume +)
3. With a sd card and volume + and - I get the pink screen. So I can still access the phone ... but I have no idea what to do next.
It looks like somehow it doesn't matter what's on the sd card ... it just won't update what's on it (tried several sd cards .... all FAT 32 and a dload with an UPDATE.app in it)
I've already created a image dir with recovery.img boot.img etc ... but without any luck ...
So...is it still possible to flash any firmware?And ... does anybody know which kind of firmware version comes with a Huawei u8800+ from Mermobiles (I haven't heard from them yet).
If someone would be so kind to post the image dir somewhere that would be highly appreciated
Many many thanks in adance
Regards
Oh and by the way ... when you put a dload folder with an UPDATE.app on your sd card and you press the power on with volume + and - , you shouldn't see a pink screen but the update should start automatically?
Still no luck with finding an answe to my problem
I really hope someone could help me out.
No, if the update found on sd card, you will not see the pink screen. The update will start automatic.
Try to power off the device, remove the battery and connect it with usb cable on pc. Then press the combintation of power,vol+, vol- buttons.
Thank you for the reply ... I've alreaady tried to pull out the battery and connect it to the PC, but with volume + and - it gives me the same pink screen :-( and without pressing the volume + and - it gives me a blue screen :-(
Finally got CWM to work so I can flash roms .... but with every rom (tried 2 roms) the phone just crashes (no reboot .... a real crash) ... what can be the case?
Can it be because the kernels?
Thanks in advance
Hello all.
I have my old T-Mobile HD2 with the NAND rom you can see in my signature.
Everything was fine for 6 months till today, when my wife (I've given to her) couldn't open it and thought it was run-out from juice.
She plugged it on the PC and wait, while she was dealing with our baby-daughter. When I came back late in evening, I saw the phone with the led still orange, the screen black and the hard buttons flashed. I pressed them, but nothing happen.
I removed the battery, plugged it back again and... since then, the phone stops in the splash animated video (keep continues endless), without the led to flash (orange or whatever) and of course I never getting the Android rom's lockscreen!!!
What's going on???
I've read somewhere to press the red button and plug the battery back. I did and the root menu came up. I pressed the "12" (PowerDown) but the phone started-up again and of course... freezed on the animated splash screen!
Please, help me on this.
I did also hard-reset, by pressing both volume up/down and the red button...
After I pressed the red button (for 30 sec) and then plugged the battery back, I came into the black boot screen and I choose the "AD Recovery".
In the next screen I've seen, that the battery was 95% full!!!!
So, I just pressed the first choice (boot) and... nothing happen, again.
So, what am I suppose to press, in the "Recovery" screen?
Update
-----------
I went again to Recovery screen and I choose to re-install the rom from the SD card (zip file); I did it, the process began and finished, the dialogue wrote to press the "Next" to boot and... still freezed on the animated splash screen!!!!!!
So, what's going on? Is the rom damaged and also I have a problematic SD card and the problem can't be solved?
search how to logcat on google. download necessary files.
make a logcat and post here.
OR
download qtadb (search for it and download) and when in bootanimation, connect phone to qtadb and after it's connected, go to phone info. is system and data partition or any one of them full?
also try wiping cache/dalvik-cache in recovery
Did you checked battery pins if they aren't bent?
Sent from my PIXELDROID HD2 using XDA
I succeed it; made it working!
I did wipeout/format everything except sd and reinstalled the rom and worked! (With NAND option).
