[Q] Huawei U8800 Pro Hard Brick

Hello, Guys, Its my first post here, so i allready sorry for my bad English.
I have a big problem with my phone, the this is that when i try to turn it on huawei logo appears and after ~5 seconds it dissapears and nothing happens, phone just turns off. I also cant get acces to CMW. Al i can do is to go to pink screen mode. I also tyed to put dload folder with updates to sdhc card, but when i am trying to load i with 3 buttons combination (VOL +- + power on button), pink screen appears... What should i do in this situation? Maybe anyone had faced this problem, and how have you solved it?
Again sorry for my poor English , and thanks for your help

Looks like your boot and recovery partitions were messed up
Can u access ur fastboot mode?
If u can, try to flash a cwm recovery image using fastboot mode

I cant acces anything exept pink screen. When i put dload folder to sd card update also doesnt start. Is there any way to acces internal memoty through pink screen?

Fastboot (or bootloader mode) is the one that stays (in ur case) at the huawey logo until it receives a command to reboot. Using it, adb and a pc, u can flash img's to the internal memory (among other things)
Try pressing and holding for 2/3 seconds this combo
Hang up button + power

As i said before it doesnt help. I cant acces CWM. (bootloader)

Sorry, i was thinking on other phone. The pink screen is ur bootloader
Try this
" Installing ClockworkMod on the Huawei U8800
1) Extract the recovery.img from the zip file. 2) Turn on your phone while holding VOL+ and VOL- (should come up with pink/purple screen) 3) Connect to computer. 4) Go to My Computer and Browse your phone to find the folder with recovery.img in. 5) Replace the recovery.img with the one you extracted from the zip file.

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.
with - + power i get pink screen.
So i have B518 but its app, i dont know how o install it.
edit: or can u add me to msn: [email protected]
Edit: now i can only go to pink screen and just IDEOS screen, cant reach recovery .... deam, can someone help me ?

Does this process the sequence of keys, but with the data cable connected to the pc ... thus enters update screen instead of pink
Sorry for the bad writing!

jes, entire screen is pink.

So you're doing something wrong.
format the memory card into the PC again and put the folder inside dload ...
Then does it again as I said ... data cable connected to the pc ... vol +, vol- and power ... update has to get in that way!

ill try again after format.
using U8800V100R001C00B522G001 (Normal Gingerbread).zip
i do it right?
and i have B518-bootloader, think, it mess all.

You must copy recovery.img (5.5.0.4) over default recovery.img on the pink screen through USB. Then you can boot in to recovery (volume up + power)

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.

Well, I don't know what else is failing... bear in mind that for recovery to boot you have to keep pressed vol + / power button simultaneously for quite a bit. Even if normal recovery doesn't show up, huawei's recovery should...

+ power - it shows IDEOS and shuts down after 15 sec.

Sorry, don't know how to help anymore... I suggest you install official stock 2.3.5 beta 1 again and copy recovery to pink more... maybe the bootloader tutorial you followed changed something.

Hello Guys!
My girlfriend's brother bricked me girl's U8800, and now i'm trying to solve the problem.
I searched all the forum for someone with the same problem, but i couldn't find one with the same problem.
The phone absolutely dosn't turn on, not even a logo, screen brightness, pink/blue screen, nothing.
Does someone have a possible solution for that (I am thinking in pushing the sistem over ADB, but dont know how), or the phone is dead?

google account problem

hy. i have a big problem. i just bought a p9 lite and i couldn.t sing in with google account. On browser it works but when i press add new account(settings) at google nothing happends. at e-mail, exchange it works but not at google option. it doesn.t work at youtube, magazin play, google + etc also. after 3 hours of google.ing the problem is still there. anything else works fine. if you have any ideea i will try it. thanks.

You just bought the phone and did not root/modded right? You should try to do a factory​ reset, and if it does not work the Google Apps must be damaged. To fix it you have to download the original firmware and update with the dload mode:
-Extract the firmware from the zip (you can find download in the forum)
-Put the file UPADATE.APP in a folder named dload
-Copy the dload folder that contains the firmware to a micro SD and put it in your phone
-Make sure to have enough battery
-Open the dialer and type *#*#2846579#*#*
-Click on ProjectMenu -> Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade
This should install the firmware to your phone.
If it does not work do in this way:
-With the dload folder in the SD card as before, shut down the phone
-While powered off, press Volume -, Volume + and power button all together and it will start the installation

Huawei p9 vns-l31 frp remove solution
Can anyone say please help me
Huawei p9 vns-l31 How to frp remove can do ?

P9 Lite 2016 (VNS-L31) stuck on "booting now", forever. please help ;-;

So long story short, I had a custom ROM (CarbonROM from HassanMirza) and I tried reverting back to the original ROM.
After screwing around too much, I ended up with two recoveries installed, no OS and an unlocked device which I CANNOT use at all.
I tried doing the 'dload' method; so I downloaded update.app and oem_info.zip and put them inside a "dload" folder which I created in my external sd card, pressed vol+, vol- and power button, that took me to the fastboot&recovery screen.
I unlocked the phone with fastboot once again, rebooted, and here I am.
Here's a list of things I CAN'T boot into: (trust me, I've tried)
-recovery/erecovery;
-fastboot&recovery screen;
-normal boot (no OS, duh).
At this point I think I bricked my phone and must wait until it shuts down, idk how long that would take.
So if anyone knows some kind of button-pressing technique or a way to only shut down the phone without making it reboot everytime, that would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance :/

Hello dude,
quite hard to recover...
You'd had to ask first instead
that now having an unusable device...
Sorry but who told or where you read about to put together update.app and oeminfo files into DLOAD folder?
Maybe logically, this could be have sense, but we all have just to follow guides someone made to make things works,
not to improvise ...
but, i'm not here to teach you and will try only to help you ..
Let the battery drain completely.
Then try to turn it on this way:
connect the USB cable to the device, then keep and hold down the vol + key and connect the device to the wall charger
(if doesn't boot continue pressing vol+ and press power button too).
Once booted release vol +.
If you are lucky, it may restart in recovery mode.
If you can do this let me know and I'll be back to help you ..
Regards
