About 3 minutes. Check the correctness of the installation ADB drivers.

Yes, B528 made ​​with ROOT ... already with the app `s all reinstated by Titanium ...
It took a good few minutes to install the drivers that drew the net, but then was quick and without any problem.
EDIT: Do not know if I can help with anything: Professional 64Bit Win7

I was trying on a phone from a friend of mine. He was using winxp 32 bit, maybe that's the case...
Can youplease share with us the drivers you used?

[Q] Huge Battery Drain

Hi,
since a week or so my u8800 suffers from a huge battery drain.
Today i just got 10hours out of it and almost did nothing. (4min. phone call/ 10messages/ max. 10min surfing)
The last 10% of battery was gone in 30 seconds.
It all started last week when my phone was on stock 2.2. Then i updated to the latest stock 2.3.5, but still the same problem.
Model number : u8800
Android version : 2.3.5
base band version : 404020
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected]#1
Build number : U8800V100R001C00B528G001
I also wanted to calibrate the battery, but i can't root the phone. Tried every program out there
Anyone got the same problem or has a solution ?

Hello Kawadude,
I use superoneklick and it works fine to root the device. Hier ist the how to, what you must do before use superonklick:
- Dial * # * # 2846579 # * # *
- Go to projectmenu, background settings, log settings, log switch and set Log on
- Reboot phone
- Set USB debugging on
- Run superonklick http://depositfiles.com/files/n0dcxce3t or http://shortfuse.org/
Hope it helps

Already tried that without a result.
I also tried DooMLoRD v4, Unlock Root and One-click Root.
Since i installed the official 2.3.5 i can't root my device annymore. On stock 2.2 this wasn't a problem.

Hello, do you keep wi fi enabled at all times? i noticed my battery drains increased greatly when i leave my wifi on 24/7

No, wifi is only enabled when I'm at home.
A couple of weeks ago the battery life was just fine. (With the same usage)

Close any application in your pc that might try to connect with an android device (like huawei's or Asus PC Sync, etc). Those applications use the adb driver and block superoneclick. Check if windows recognize your device and install it properly. Hum... That's all I can think of... ;-)

Try this. I did hear that this last release from huawei (B528) couldn't be/was really hard to get rooted. I haven't tried this, just found it. Credit to @Igory0k.

Didn't work for me.
The phone rebooted and freezed at the huawei logo.
The only thing i didn't find is step 6: "6.log setting-dump & log-on"

You have to do it, rooting apps need that option
And launcher apps etc. don't install them, your battery won't drain Uninstall unnecessary apps too

[Q] Rooting with SuperOneClick 2.3.3

Hi everyone,
I've got a problem trying to root my Ideos X5 using SuperOneClick.. Everywhere I look, it looks so straightforward. I simply don't know why it doesn't work.
I have downloaded/installed the Android ADB driver, and run SOC as admin and all I get up to is Step 5.
No hangs. Just nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Please help.. Thanks.

Which firmware you have?

I've seen it myself, It simply stops working. Solution in my case: I forgot to enter the magic dialingnumbers:
---
On your Ideos V5, dial *#*#2846579#*#*
Go to projectmenu > background settings > log settings > log switch > set Log on
Reboot the Phone
Go to Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB Debuggingmode
Go to Settings > Applications and disable Fast Bootmode.
Run superoneclick.

hope this helps...

To flash another baseband:
- Download the appropriate firmware. You can install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, go to the menu 'Firmware Browser' and get the appropriate firmware.
- Extract and get 2 files: modem.bin + NON-HLOS.bin.
- For detailed instruction how to update the baseband, please refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...900tuvudnf4-extracted-stock-firmware-t2834398

What does that mean? You cannot flash another baseband? Or you have successfully flashed another baseband but the problem persists?
Please check the following and see what option is selected?
1- Open Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Network mode ?
2- Open Dialer > enter *#2263# ?
3- Open Testing Menu > Device information > Set preferred network type ?

I have successfully flashed another baseband but the problem persists.
the network mode is wcdma only . I want the 3g network only.

In fact 3g and wcdma are referred to the same thing.
- Is your phone root? If so, open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > scroll to 2263 and tap 'Launch 0' to launch the code.
- Did you try the Step #3 I've said above?

Click to collapse
Testing menu is *#*#4636#*#* on every Android phones.
On Samsung phones this code has been disable, so you have to open it by another way.
Install Shortcut Master app > Menu > Search... > enter 'testingsettings' in the textbox and tap Search.
Finally tap on the search result to launch it.
You can also create a shortcut for it for later access easier.
