[Q] V2.3 upgrade error and wifi error

Hello,
yesterday i upgraded my x5 u8800 pro from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 (Kernel V2.6.35.7 and U8800V100R001C00B526G001) after 2-3 tries. After i switched on my phone i noticed that my wifi isn't working. I searched many forums and i saw that other people had the same problem too with v2.3.5. I tried everything but i can't fix it.
Another problem is that i can't upgrade my phone from 2.3.5 to 4.0. After many tries i managed to start the procedure of step 1 (format the sd card put the dload file in and press - + and power on). Most of the times after pressing the 3 buttons AT THE SAME TIME my freaking phone simple opens and asks for my PIN. Any ideas?

I have the same problem on the same phone. Did you solve your problem, because I would like to use your more then 1 year long searching for the answer. I also at the begining of the search blamed my SD card. I have sleepless nights, but no idea brought me solution of the problem.
Please help me if you can, Bob972.

Not Oversea
As I know , this firmware is not Oversea. Oversea Normal fw is: U8800V100R001C00B521_Oversea_Normal . This happened to me. No WiFi anymore. How could I revert this installation from B526G001 to 2.2.2(stock ROM). From there to 2.3.5 Oversea Normal and then ICS.
The main problem for me is how to return to stock ROM?
Thanks.

did u guys check ur wifi mac adress? go to settings about phone status. if it's 00:00:00:00:00 then u need to change it with a terminal emulator (requires root)

I suceeded
I was warned to choose ROM for 2.3 , which ends with 512. I took ROM
U8800Pro V100R001C00B512G001(Gingerbread) Firmware has to be 512!!!!
The most important advice for me was
Make a “dload” directory on SD card root directory , Copy the “Step 1\
dload\UPDATE.APP” and “Step 1\ dload\UPDATE_g.APP” to SD card
“dload\UPDATE_g.APP[”.
I copied UPDATE.APP to SD card in dload folder but didn't rename the file into UPDATE_g.APP!!!! I didn't understand the instructions corectly.
After that Settings/Storage/Software Upgrade
The next step is without renaming UPDATE.APP.
I didn't need step 3, because I don't speak Chineese.
After that relevation everything went smoothly and problemless.
After that upgrade to 4.0 went ok without any problem.

I did it

[Q] U8800-51 CR GB Read-Only Mass Storage and wrong IMEI

Well, Hi!
A little history before the real problem.
My girlfriend bought a U8800-51 phone by my recommendations, because it's a great phone in this range of prices.
The phone had a problem. It reboot many times in a day (10~20 times) So I decided to upgrade the OS to GB with the gingermovida v1.1 ROM.
The phone stopped in the bootanimation secuence. I tried 5 times with the same result.
I downloaded the official 2.2.2 ROM from the Huawei website and put it in the SD card. I turned on the phone in download mode and started the install secuence. But stopped in the 2/2 step with the "Update Failed" message.
I tried to enter in recovery mode without success, with 5 different "recovery.img" files. In a thread in this forum somebody explained a method to back to stock froyo ROM using a .img file and the Roadkil's Disk Image tool, but with a AT&T img file.
My brother has the same phone so i made a backup of his phone and put it in my girlfriend phone. Everything works great! Boot OS and load all the information, 3G work and USB Mass storage work, so I did a wipe data - factory reset and everyrhing works again.
At this point I discovered that the IMEI is the same of my brother's phone. I tried many different tricks or tutorials (QPST, CDMA Tool, DFS, AT Command in Terminal, etc) and nothing changed. In the last try I upgraded the OS using CM7 movida v2 and 3G works, WiFi works, but I still have the same IMEI and a new problem came out. When I plug the USB cable and activate the Mass Storage Mode, only shows a Read Only CD drive with all SD Card files.
In the stock froyo ROM I went to the "Project Menu" and changed the USB options, but I can't remember in what option I leave it. In this ROM (CM7 movida v2) i can't go to this menu and check if I have the same Stock ROM configuration.
Besides, I didn't backed up my GF'S IMEI. So I don't know if it can be recovered.
She's gonna kill me, so I need a little help ASAP!
That's all. So here's the thing:
- I have the same IMEI of my brother's phone.
- Everything works except for the Read-Only Mass Storage Mode.
P.S: I don't know if the different driver that I installed affect something here.

Try to upgrade your phone, puting dload folder on sdcard, maybe it can fix your IMEI. About the mounting, I dont know what is happening, but maybe if you upgrade your OS, it will work fine..

What ROM can I use? The Official Huawei ROM (Movilnet U8800-51) didn't work (to solve the IMEI problem) If I try to downgrade using that ROM the phone stop in the 2 step and then I will need to do everything again.

What about B565? You can download it here: http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDEyMTU=
And I also found this topic, there is a user who says the solution so check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513439

Well, that ROM is for PRO version of the U8800 phone and I have the U8800-51 version. Baseband and other thing are different between versions. I will try the steps of your link when my girlfriend let me try again

Sorry, my mistake :/
I dont own a u8800 51 but the software isnt the same as u8800?

No, unfortunately, like I said: Baseband and other tiny thing are differents :crying:

-.-" Wait a bit, maybe someone will help you

Do you have any sort of backup from where you were when the phone worked correctly?

that's why I don't share backup. The fw on the -51 is tightly locked. I'm surprised they allowed pink screen. Your better off going for warranty. Unless, you can open the background password. I'll look for an alternative fix.

No signal - Can't connect to network

Hey guys I'm having a little problem with my GT-i9505. Problem being that I cannot get any reception on my device. It first occurred when I flashed a 4.3 rom over my 4.4.2 rom. I've tried switching to several different roms, both 4.3 and 4.4, yet none can fix the problem. I've tried to flash at least a dozen modem's in a bid to fix it. I searched for the modem suitable to my device and yet they still didn't work. I even tried to just install the official Samsung 4.4.2 rom via Odin, yet I'm still having the same problem. My baseband does change whenever I flash a new modem, but I still cant get a signal. When I try to search for a network in settings it lists the main carriers in the UK, but when I try to select mine (3 UK) it doesn't allow me to register, clicking select automatically yields the same results too. I've been searching for hours today on how to fix this, but just can't seem to find a method that helps. Any suggestions?

Have you tried manually entering the APN settings for 3 UK?

Take your S4 to a repair shop. Use Phil,s recovery when you re-root, install Omega ROM or another Samsung based ROM and, using Philz Touch 6 recovery, make a copy of your EFS file so if / when it happens again you can reinstall Omega or whichever ROM you installed and, using Philz recovery, you can reinstall your EFS file.
To make the backup, reboot recovery - backup and restore - custom backup - x (only in efs backup) - start custom backup - choose where to put the backup.
I use Omega as a reference because I know it will not screw up your EFS file.

Is there a way to fix this without having to spend anything? I literally can't afford to take it to a repair shop at this time

Also, my IMEI still shows as it should (corresponds with the IMEI on the back of my phone)

I had the same problem with my i9500 after flashing a Slim rom Perhaps you can get a copy of an efs file from someone with the same phone and then put it on your phone, or get the information you need from your phone company.

Did you try to remove the SIM CARD and switch off /on the phone to clean internal SIM register and to reinsert your SIM card again?

I now have exactly the same problem as you. I tried (once again) to install a new ROM on my i9500 (SOKP this time) and now (for the third time) my phone won't register on the network. I'll take it to China Unicom in the morning and let you know what happened. Unfortunately I don't speak Chinese very well but I will try to watch what the repair guy does. Perhaps it will be of some help.

I took the phone to China Unicom but the tech that repaired it last time wasn't there.

So ur problem is not sorted then?

What u mean by purchase a new baseband bro?

did you try searching for a signal outside?
i'm on three uk network and signal indoors is absolutely atrocious! (especially since they started "upgrading" to 4g networks - i had the exact same problem with t-mobile switched to becoming ee, i don't know why these companies are so intent on breaking networks which worked perfectly before by "upgrading" them).

If is not hardware, chances are that the efs folder is corrupted.
Try a different kernel
Try a different modem
Flash full wipe custom rom again..
Last flash stock rom...
If all fails the problem most like it is in the efs folder, if you have a backup restore it

same issue.
I have the same issue as described by the op.
I flashed back to official 4.4.2 and the problem persist.
IMEI number is correct.
IMEISV is 01
Ive been trying to fix this for over a week to no avail. Losing my mind. Is there anything else you can suggest to fix this issue?
Phone is an i9500.

Was really hoping for some help by now. This will be the second time ive posted to this site in the 2 years ive been here with zero responses.
As a side note. I wanted to add that at the same time i started having the "not registered on network" error my sd card stopped being read by the phone also. I replaced the sim/sd holder in the phone itself hoping this would fix both issues but it has obviously not. Still not reading the sd. Says its blank or unrecognized file system. When i try to format it it doesn nothing. This is the sd I had in the phone before having issues. It worked fine then.
The phone just suddenly stopped working one morning. I used it to send a couple text and make a call, next time i picked it up "not registered" issue began. No changes to the phone in between those times.
I figured I would add this info in hopes of gaining a response.
Thanks.

Random reboots

Hello friends.
I recently purchased a galaxy note 3 SM-N9005 from cex and I rooted it and tried to install a new ROM. But when I install any touchwiz ROM the phone would automatically restart continuously with the sim. As soon as I remove the sim. The phone works perfectly. I've tried to change sim cards but no luck. But if I install any aosp ROM the phone works perfectly. Can you guys find the reason why this is happening? Would be highly appreciated.
Sorry for bad english

Was the phone new?
Imei in the phone matches the imei on the battery label?

No. The phone was used but but the imei matched in both cases

Very strange that only a custom ROM will work. You tried different sim cards from different carriers?
