Good morning all
before starting making question and turn this into another annoying thread....I've done almost everything and others things i didn't do it because i might break the phone. so....
i root my wildfire, follow the instructions on wildfire index and i had install cm7 night. i so far had manage to correct all the gaps that i had encounter, but i come to a stop, the gps....
i done some reading, and had find some options, flashing radios (thats risk for what i learn, because my phone is A3333) i had install to AndroidFlasher1.8.0 has some others saying...but the zip from europe doesn't work...Mean while i had change the lg of gps.conf, another solution and nothing. i also install several apps, that might help, gpsfix and others and nothing too, im start to despair.
I've read also that read that with the stock 2.2 i might also bring back the gps, well here enters the problems of CWM...
when i did the root and i has doing the backup, i notice that the msg has saying that "no sd-ext" well i didn't do anything, thought that has standard , but when i has looking for my stock backup i had none, and I've search with the phone turn off, to access the root files and back...i dont have a stock backup...gg
I've install some zip´s from recovery with cwm3, I've to go to ROM manager and downgrade to v2.xxx...
i dont understand, because I've install some others from cmw 3 previously. although the zip that i had install (AndroidFlasher1.8.0 and buzz.3.35.20.10) didn't do nothing.
So my main problem is with gps, if some one have the good grace of break down slow from me i will do thks button lol and very well appreciated
p.s: 'm very noob around this things, and some things that are in the forums like technical terns i dont follow, my bad. hope any one can help me, and explain me the best solution.
cherrs
UPDATE
So after a longer search and after doing some math exercises (with help btw lol)
I resolve the problem, hope that might help some one...
I found some archives in several threads and i came to this result
1º you must put these files (AndroidFlasher1.8.0, buzz.3.35.20.10, gps-test, and app gpsfix!) in your sd card (if you search in xda foruns you will find then)
2º go to rom manager, and reboot in recovery on option....it will downgrade the version, so it can install from zip (finally and understand why)
3º on recovery mod, go to install sd card, disable signuters and then install the zips
4º after that it will tell you to reboot to conclude the installation
5º go to astro or other app that you have, and install gpsfix, you can use the one on the market , install it and run
6º start fix, and it will take less then 10m minutes to fix...and voila
Notes: i tried tom tom gps, ndrive, googlemaps/navigation
Plus this work on my htc buz wilfire A3333 and im not responsible if doesn't work for you or damage if that happens.
So CM7 rox

Flashing the official gingerbread in u8800 its irreversivel process, at least for now.
If you flash it you have to keep it as no way of going back.
If you root it using the only available method, bye bye!
Everytime you reboot the endless bootlooping starts and the only way to stop it is formatting data.
Which means everytime you reboot = bye bye all data and apps etc.
I think is something that its major importance and no one is mentioning this!!!!
I don't know, maybe I've been preaching to deaf ears or something...but...you can re-install the old ROM back, the CWM recovery won't work with the official GB - that much is true - but you will be able to downgrade to an official 2.2.2 (I used the B162) version with the regular update method (at least I was and everything is working just as normal as it used to).
So, irreversible - I don't think so
with the current CWM recovery - it's a no-go
edit: that being said, what works for me, doesn't necessarily work for everyone, so be careful and blame the guy in the mirror -not me, if it doesn't work for you. =)
I think Huawei says wrong here. I flashed 2.3 yesterday. After that, because of the haptic issue I flashed back to official 2.2. Only problem after the 2.2, recovery console had opened. I did factory reset there and phone started without a problem. Then, I had upgraded to 2.3 again. Still haptic don't vibrate. Other than, no problem here. Maybe, I will go back again to 2.2.
Well you are lucky then because you are the only one.
Perhaps what is saying in the official intructions that will be impossible to dowgread after this upgrade won't apply to you.
I have try it with at least 8/9 versions of official release and nothing works!!!!
what 2.2 version is that and you did it after or before rooting?
Have you tried with internal sd? I copied dload folder to internal and started the upgrade process from Storage-Upgrade Firmware. Where did your phone stuck?
Edit: I didn't root my phone. Waiting proper solution. I had used B138.
no, I'm using external SD.
now I'm downloading another official release to try to downgrade using another one...
this time is U8800 V100R001C17B162CUSTC17D001

Well, like I said, what works for me doesn't necessarily work for you.
Anyway, this is what I did and it worked, maybe it can help others.
0. Copy the original B162 ROM ("dload"-folder which has two files, UPDATE.APP AND UPDATE_CUST.APP) to the root of your SDCARD
1. Update to B162 by holding down +- keys while turning on the phone
2. After the first reboot, it's giving error messages for not being able to mount this and that...just ignore it and...
--> Wipe data / factory reset --> remove battery
3. Update the B162 again --> this time everything should go OK, if so, your phone is back to stock B162 and you're ready to use it or update a custom rom (just install Clockwork recovery like you used to and start from there)
The last point (3) may be unnecessary, but I did so just to make sure everything's ok.
Edit: OK, and I meant b162, not b160...

Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
yes I made it with this B162.
**** this **** I'm going back to custom rom.
No point of using this official release if future customs will use the libs from this one.

And then there's the fact that the official gb is still beta, it's not supposed to work perfectly. But as long as the dev team here stays active, I think that I'm gonna stick with custom roms too.
ho my god.
didn't work.
is always booting into recovery
I am stuck here also (
Nothing worked
I tried clockwork recovery - it doesnt get to. It is just rebooting.
I tried with various dload UPDATE.IMG's (GB Overseas, GB orig chinese,B162,B138) nothing is working - stucked in "Step 1/2 Unpacking" window forever.
Anyone has solution for this ?
Two weeks ago I've flashed the U8800Pro version - real mistake

I have just flashed with new U8800V100R001C00B517G001(Beta1.0)(Overseas Normal)(Gingerbread) but after flashing I kept waiting for start my phone. I restasted many times but same, then I format data its worked and when restarted again it goes in same condition any help ?
until flash disk is writable and it is - there will always be way to go back to old versions it just files.. like reinstalling windows on your pc.
Since the new Rom is public I have read all posts about it here. Maybe I had lucky, or simple due it without messing with the files.
Yesterday I made the upgrade to the new rom, directly from the last Oxigen version, without downgrade to 2.2. I simply create the dload folder on SD card, put there de update file, boot with +- Power, and chose upgrade from SD card.
After step 2 I reboot the phone a install step 3 upgrade. Everything as installed fine, no boot loops, nothing...
Also the root method decribed in this forum as work on first time.
24 hours after the upgrade, and some reboots to test, I never se the boot loops, and the phone is working well.
The new ROM, even in beta stage, to me is a great improvement.
Well either you were lucky or me and the majority were unlucky.
But issues only start to happens when rooting.
So that you can see it fried me the 1 USB cable. This cable is only good to charge the battery now....
Also, ****ed the device USB storage MOUNT.
I connect it to the computer and the computer sees it as a CD drive not allowing any changes.
Also when press the button to mount the USB on the device it never gets mounted and gives the messages that the SD can now be removed.
So I have put this issue many times but up to the moment no one even reply to help.
I originally followed this:

I thought that the phone had 2.3.5 on, and then after a while (After I flashed the new zip file), I realised that it only had 2.3.3 on and it won't get past the Huawei screen ie: it's stuck
I backed up the current ROM, but I've no idea on what to do now that it's bricked. I've tried fixing permissions, connected via USB and using the "adb logcat" command when I got the reply
/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
And it's just stuck at the boot screen. Just wondering if any one can help?

I haven't the foggiest as to why my last post didn't go through. Any way, I did do that and I tried to restore my current ROM as well - remember it hasn't had the 2.3.5 update
On another note, my post also serves as a "hello" post considering that I didn't realise that I had an account here with zero posts until recently. I must have made it a while ago so hello

That's not a bricked people. A bricked phone is one that does not turn on no matter what, does't react in any shape or form, no screen, no vibration, no sound, no led when plugging usb or charger, no pink mode, no pc access to the phone, no nothing.
Your phone goes to huawei loading screen! How is that a bricked phone? Just reflash The ROM and do triple wipes. Search the forum for that.
flash stock rom. 2.3 or 2.2
not bricked
i can trustly say that it's not bricked, a brick phone means "unusable hardware tools"
the implementation that you explained can not cause a brick operation, you only have to teach your phone to work - that its possible to install the original stock rom.
original stock rom images also contains hubbable hardware working scripts and images.
so you can get your system back and also imei.

Thanks for that. I'll go off to search for a stock ROM
EDIT: Which stock ROM do I use?
http://coraldrive.net/users/androidz/583/u8800 stock roms
Once I've got the correct ROM, then I'll probably follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011527
I'm putting that link in, to help others and in case I can't find it. I'm from the UK if that helps
So today, I loaded the general overseas version stock ROM and formatted the Micro SD card to FAT32 and it loaded with android 2.2 on it (yay)
However, I can't download the official 2.3 ROM because the Huawei site is having problems with it's server, and every file sharing site I've seen has deleted it for "copyright infringement" Why the hell Huawei even requested for it's removal, when it doesn't even work from their own site, I have no idea
So, just wondering if there's any kind people out there that can send us the official 2.3 ROM either by email or a public dropbox link, which can then be deleted?
Thanks

I also deleted the dload folder, in case I accidentally revert it to stock ROM. I also had to run SuperOneBoot again because it was unrooted after I flashed the official ROM

Hello,
I have 2 Huawei X5 that were running DZO's aurora without any problems until a couple of days ago.
Sudenly one of them lost the sound during calls. To see if this was a hardware problem I tried to install a different rom, but I had no success. CWM doesn't accept any of the roms I tried (Miui and aurora). I also tried to downgrade this phone but after it gets to the installation screen it freezes.
The other phone, does not allow access to CWM and the only thing I can do is try to downgrade from the SD card. I already tried downgrading to 2.2 and 2.3 with no success.
When I connect any of the phones to the PC I cannot access the phones internal memory like I used to. This only happened after I installed aurora. Previously I also encountered problems downgrading from 2.3 to 2.2 and I managed to do it through the internal memory. I only had to put the dload folder there and reboot with vol up+vol down+power and the downgrade done normally. So now, since i can't do this, I'm completely clueless......
Do you guys think that the phone with access to CWM can be fixed by restoring a backup from another phone? If so can someone PLEASE be kind enough to send me one?
try updated drivers

Here are ics drivers. This may or may not work for you. You must boot into pinkscreen and restore the files after installing adb.

Always back up your imei and make a disk image backup.
Hi guys, after a year and a half of running custom roms, I am sick of it. My main problem is that I do not receive SMS messages when they should arrive. I receive them hours after they have been sent. Another problem is that sometimes, I can't be called. My phone doesn't display a call, or being called at all. But somebody is calling me and my phone doesn't say anything. So this is very frustrating because you can miss important calls without you even knowing. And this has been happening to me almost on every rom tried. They all work well for some time, but after they start to screw around and not be consistent.
My question is, how can I install the stock rom from Orange Reyo Romanian (ZTE BLADE Q MAXI) so that my issues will go away? I have cwm, but it seems that the firmware at the zte site is only installable with the stock recovery, not with a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
So yeah, any help would be much appreciated.
just copy the update .zip from zte syte on your sdcard and then install with twrprecovery!
i test it and it work
or you can download a stok backup for spflashtool posted by me on xda for restoring the phone stok rom
search it 2-3 pages back
it has a recovery stok too included

yea! loks like a drivers problem.
make a serch on google after "Zte handset usb driver" and install it.
the pc see your phone if turned it ON?
what windows do you have?
Sent from my ZTE Blade Q Maxi using Tapatalk
I have installed the drivers. But still doesn't work. Even when the phone is on, SP flash tool doesnt see it. I have windows 8.1. I run your zingerone rom. Maybe it is the problem that even when my phone is on, when I connect the phone, the pc doesnt see it? The pc doesnt see it at all, when i have the zingerone rom installed. SHould I install other rom and then try SP flash tool?
The backup cannot be installed with CWM?
Now, after installing drivers, i get another error. After i click download and connect my phone to pc, SP flash tool sees my phone, but de download bar is red, and after 3 seconds my phone disconects and i receive the error: PMT has changed; it must be downloaded. I have no idea what this means.
EDIT: IT WORKS! I managed to make SP flash tool see my device by flashing it. But, by flashing it, it bricked my phone. So I thought I'm screwed. But I installed the stock recovery from @vaserbanix and at least got the phone to boot, but it was stuck in bootloop. So i downloaded the update.zip from ZTE site and put it on my sd card, got into the stock recovery and managed to install the update.zip. And now my phone has the stock rom and is working flawlessly.
Thank you @vaserbanix my friend for your help. Also, how is your health? Are you feeling well, my friend?
Hi @deepside_dj,
Glad to know that you solved out your problem. I want to ask you, if you don't mind, do you have that problems regarding SMS messages and phone calls before you start installing customs ROM's? I have to ask you this because I received a Orange Reyo(Blade Q Maxi) branded by Orange, with exactly the same issue. In the company were I work, the phone was used internally, for GSM testing especially. And I understand from the test user that was using the phone, that, even if the phone was having the stock ROM on it, was having exactly the same issues sometimes.
For examples, some text messages were received just only when the phone receive a call, even if the message have been send with a few hours before, or something like this.
So, in this case, I'm wondering if actually the custom ROM's are the root cause.
Right now, I'm using the phone for test software development and also as a spare phone. And because of this, even if @vaserbanix have done a great job porting other ROM's for this phone, I already start working on a custom ROM for me to use that is going to be based on the stock one, but much more smaller and without that bloatware preinstalled on it. So I have to know at what to look after. Maybe is not the custom ROM's fault, but just an update or a wrong placed internal command that is interfering with the RIL normal execution with the radio hardware.
Best Regards,
DarKay

When I first got the phone, obviously, it had the stock rom. I used the stock rom for months on end, up until @vaserbanix ported the first rom for this device. While using a fresh stock rom, fresh as in directly from the factory, I didn't have any issues with calls/SMS. All came when they were supposed to. Even after using custom roms, for some time, i haven't encountered deal-breaking issues. Clearly not something as big as missing calls, that don't appear when they should etc. Well, all went good until all of a sudden I didn't receive calls. I was using the MIUI v5 rom, which is my favorite rom. I thought it might be a bug, so I flashed the rom again, but nope, the problem still persisted. Which was odd, since I was using that specific rom for months. After that, I tried many other roms ported by the one and only @vaserbanix until i settled on the Zingerone rom. This was the fastest and most clean looking rom for me, and I was happy that it ran good. Until, the issue with calls/sms not being received reappered. Which really frustrated me, because I lost an important call, without me even knowing it. That is when I had enough, so I installed the stock rom again, with a bit of work, but in the end the install was good.
So now I am using the stock rom, it has been only a day since I installed it, but it seems solid. Only time will tell. If I encounter the same issues, be sure I will report it here!
OK, thanks for the information. I wanted today to take the SIM card from the test operator to make some tests on the phone, to see if I can find something wrong with the card or the phone or at least, reproduce the issues, and found out that the SIM card was replaced. It looks like on another phone was still having the same issues. So in this case, it seems that the problem was with the SIM. I will make some logs on the phone to see if the problems resides also on it, especially now, because I modified and installed one of the custom ROM's build by @vaserbanix. Only the time will tell.
In the mean time, I have a new "toy" (Blade Q Maxi ) so I have to play with it a little bit, but I will let you know if the problems returns, or at list found the root cause of this, because I think you are going to get bored real soon of the stock ROM. See you soon.
