hi guys.i have a big problem but i don't understand how i solve this.i upgraded 2.3 official bete.after i wanted to downgrade but setup is failed.i opened the phone but it isn't.only huawei's logo is coming and shotdowned.i can't enter recovery.and when i press volume up+down and power,phone beginning setup and failed again.
Please,Help me.
(sorry my bad English)
Downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2 is not possible for the time being if you don`t have a back up of previously used rom and we also don`t have a fully working recovery on 2.3 so we must wait for it.
I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 without problems twice. I put update.app from 2.2-zip in dload-folder of internal sdcard, poweroff, vol-down + vol-up + power until screen says unpacking. Let it finish then boot to recovery (vol-up + power), factory reset and format cache, clear dalvik cache if you can. Reflash update then your phone should boot normally with stock 2.2

You just need 2.2 boot partition stuff. There might be already links in that thread, or I can send them tomorrow, not on my comp now.
edit: looks like you don't need even the boot stuff good to know.

Vol up + Vol down + power should get you in the pink screen (bootloader). Then if you connect it via USB, all the partitions are mounted on PC.
edit: do you have the update stuff on the sd? Ofcourse Then I think the only way is an external sd to get to the pink screen.

You need an external sd without update stuff, then vol down + Vol up + power. In the pink screen you can for example try to copy the update.app again etc etc

thanks for answers now i can enter pink screen.what can i do after this?
Try this:
Download this file and extract the contents.
When in pink screen mode, connect your phone to your computer.
Copy the 4 files from the downloaded zip to a folder named "image" on your phone (folder should already be there, ).
Pull battery on phone, reinsert the battery and try booting to recovery (vol-up + power).
hI, how can I access my internal sdcard if I cant install none of recoverys avaliable, even with Image folder all from 2.2, none. Im stuck. Update from ext sd card dont work it failed. I need to put dload folder in internal sd. please help... =(

The internal SD is mounted on the PC in the pink screen (vol down + vol up + power). To get to the pink screen put an external SD without dload folder.

The files in that link are the original ones from 2.2 folder image?

Yeah that's the boot partition, but it should also mount the internal SD. I haven't tested in Windows, but the internal SD is also FAT32 I think, so it should mount.
Anyway in Linux with the pink screen I see the phone's whole internal flash (14 partitions).. partition 14 is the internal SD.
yeah but in windows it shows only this... I'm screwed

thanks a lot, worked like a charm. I was able to install 2.2 b136.
what do you recommend to install miui? I tried so many ways. lol

Restoring pre/post beta1 v2 backups is a bit tricky. I personally just installed a clean cm7 from geno's zip. Now I'm trying to get CM7 to work without the need to downgrade to 2.2 first, with the new 5.0.2.7 recovery from geno (the thread title says U8800pro, but it works for also u8800).
Edit: so in conclusion, you should get miui working fine by using a recovery that works, and then installing miui from the original zip, not from your own backup. You also need to downgrade to 2.2, but you're running 2.2 now already?

It's problem with some roms but just press cancel. Reboot into recovery option doesn't need that. Rom manager detects u8800 only on 32 kernel custom roms.

Something must be wrong with the recovery files i've been downloading... i used rom manager to reboot in to recovery and the phone simply stays stuck @ Huawei logo... And if i try to power on + Vol+ it won't start at all. You don't have a working Recovery image somewhere by any chance?
Edit...
What firmware you are using?
If it's B522 or newer, do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490
Now, turn your phone off and take battery out. Hold volume+, volume- and power button. Your phone should now turn into pink screen. connect it to computer via USB. On your computer go disk(phone)>image and replace recovery image with cwm. Don't forget rename new recovery to recovery.img take battery out to turn off phone.
If not working I suggest you re-flash firmware, but I have still one method left if you don't want to do it.

Gonna try with that method instead, that was the method i used on the previous 2.2 Rom, didn't thought of doing it like that again, just followed the tutorial

Recopy
I'd say re-download and re-copy the recovery.img file using ES File Explorer, check the permissions, and then reboot your phone.
I found that I need to hold down Vol + and power for a few seconds even AFTER the Huawei logo is already showing.
ROM Manager doesn't detect your phone so I wouldn't use that.
Hope this helps

I had the same problem with mu Huawei U8800 (normal not pro), when I updated to 2.3 back in march this year, what I did, I went back and reinstalled the Beta version that came back in 2011 (v18) as I had saved it on my school computer (you can try and also search on google if there are some huawei beta roms for u8800 still available as I got mine from a past backup), then with that I was able to boot holding the volume + and - keys together with the power button I got the pink screen, and now I was able to copy and replace the CWM 'recovery' image when I connected the USB cable to the computer, Then I removed the cable and when I pressed the power button and the volume button + button i got CWM. To all the developers who came up with this. You are all amazing!
I triead a lot of thing, but cant downgrade to offical gingerbread, to update ISC.
I moment have latest Oxygen.
English is not my mother language, so can someone explain step by step with DL links, how to do this.

Not good at english, but i try:
This is my story.
At first i tried install any stock rom, but cant get them installed, cause with 2gb sd, i get always pink screen.
Then tried put /dload into inner card, root directory. Installed Estonia Elisa (stock) like charm. Updated to 2.3.5 also, everything ok. but when tried to get back unlocked pinkscreen vith this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490&page=6
then in my case, it just bootloop. Also as i remember, cant go to pink screen /image.
So installed ubuntu and there i can see partitions. Replaced recovery with newest, get all back. 2.3.5 (installed again), pink screen locked.
So i root phone as in tutorial, and replaced recovery into folder as writed in tutorial.
Then BAM! at first recovery screen (+ power) blue screen, and locked pink.
Then (+ power) stopped working. but pink still work.
But figured out how install firmware updates.
from inner card, no sd in slot - install (ofc. failes)but this method work.
with outer sd. SD in my case MUST BE 512mb only, so it will install. (failes in my case). with battery or usb cable - no effect
In linux cant see partition also and it shows just U8120 device instead of 8800
Totally messed up bootloader or partition. I dont know.
Thanks to my hero dancer_69 he somehow found that china page.
Downloaded http://filespart.com/dl/ds7ltr.html
putted into /dload that update what in archive. just only this file from zip.
and i got back unlocked pinkscreen. Replaced /image folder (jeah i had some backup)
Putted again 2.3.5 into outer sd card and installed as charm.
After that everything goes normal. As followed tutorial.
root, recovery, aurora.
After aurora was installed, i waited about 15 min and disconnected power.
after that factory reset and that it.
So if you cant install firmware update from sd card. Dont use 2gb or bigger. 512 works fine, instead of 2gb. or try differet cards.

Oxygen is .32 so it's upgrade if you install gingerbread.
Try to find B518 version of gingerbread because you don't need to root it. Just install CWM 5.5.0.4 and flash aurora ics.
So,
1. make folder "dload" to your external sdcard.
2. put update.app file in dload folder.
3. turn off phone and start it holding volume+ and volume- buttons and power button.
4. update should start
i have rooted ideos.

That doesn't give you recovery, that only restores unlocked bootloader for those who installed stock 2.3.5 higher than beta 1..
To install recovery, you must copy recovery.img v5.5.0.4 (it's in the dev section) over original recovery.img that's inside the "image" folder of the pink screen, using USB.
After that, start the phone pressing and keeping pressed vol + / power at the same time until recovery comes up.
i did it! tried also older ones, but nothing.

If you have made a nandroid backup of the stock froyo rom just restore it in CWM recovery if not and if you want to install an official froyo rom in pink screen make sure you have put the dload folder on the root of SD card or the internal SD card with the update.app file and don't forget to backup your IMEI with 5IromToolBox.

I didn't ask you to install oxygen, i was talking about the stock froyo; Huawei's original firmware?
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1352963/U8800V100R001C00B138SP04CUSTESTC205D001EsthoniaElisa.rar
this is b138 (froyo 2.2.2).
Extract the files, put update.app into a dload folder and paste it into your sdcard's main folder i mean it's gonna be /dload/update.app
Power off. Press both volume keys and power on. Wait for the update process to finish. Once rebooted it may give errors, don't worry.
Power off your phone, press power on + vol + button simultaniously and go into recovery. And then wipe data/cache. Reboot.
If that doesn't work, send your phone to warranty.

In it, there are: amss.mbn, AMSS.rar, boot, cust and recovery.img, EMMCBOOT.rar, EMMCBOOT.MBN, total size=118 mb.
