Please do a full backup of the bootloader! So we all can fix our device..!
The procedure is easy and you just take about 8 minutes..
You have to download this tool (for windows) http://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=12
1- Download the tool "Roadkil's Disk Image"
2- Enter to pink screen (volume up and down, then power on)
3- Connect your phone to the computer through the backside usb port (its more safe)
4- Run the tool
5- Click on the "Store Image" tab.
6- In "Store Image to" click the combobox and choose "Physical Disk #" ("#" is a number) * If there are more than one "Physical Disk #", then you have to choose the one that is about 3.6gb.. This part is very important.. if you give us a backup from another disk, it will leave our phone unusable. *To be sure that that Physical Disk you choose is the Huawei u8800-51, You can run the tool again (because it has to refresh) without the phone connected, then check which disks are available. Then, close the tool again, connect the device (in pink screen), run the tool, and check what physical disk was added. But it will be about 3.6gb.
7- In "target file", save the file as "u8800.img" in a folder with more than 4gb of storage available.
*There is no risk for you, as it is just data copying, not writting. The risk is for us if you gave us a wrong file hehe..
*If you compress the "u8800.img" file into a "rar" file, the size will be about 700 mb, then please, upload the file into mediafire or some file hosting service.
Thanks man! It will be very useful to many people!
----
*For the ones who do the restore from the file, they have to do something to get the "u8800.img" to work. I will post here what do they have to do before writing to the disk, so Don't restore until I explain it here, or it wont work! and you may have errors!

Done. Download it from here (i can't post link as i have only two posts) h-t-t-p://narod.ru/disk/45137127001.c41110d6962cdd0386662315635cdcc4/u8800-51.rar.html. Anything else i can do? BTW i can test in on my third u8800-51 with custom rom if you provide me with instructions.

Great man! Thank you very much. nothing else, yo have done more than enough! Cool

How to flash the phone with this image? Please help, i need to restore one u8800-51

Restore IMEI and radiomodule
I`m from Russia, sorry for my english
I have too U8800-51 (Impulse 4g) from USA. I bricked him after flash U8800 firmware. I rebuilt my U8800-51 in service center and flashed "U8800-51_dload Froyo Original" and my firmware was from U8800pro. And also changed my IMEI and stopped working 3G and GPS.
Before bricked I am backup my original IMEI with "ToolBox5iromV1.0.4.2.apk".
Today I restored my IMEI from my backup. With the IMEI restored RADIO module (№ 203022) and again began to work 3G and GPS. I am so happy now.
You can do it too:
1. Do the ROOT with "DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT_zergRush_busybox_su.zip".
2. Install "ToolBox5iromV1.0.4.2.apk".
3. Restored your IMEI or my IMEI (if you want) with original radio module of U8800-51 (Impulse 4G) AT&T.
My IMEI link: narod.ru/disk/45304379001.3238bc381c90a94603de19359eda2e72/IMEI_U8800-51_(Impulse_4g)_ORIGINAL_buckup.zip.html

3g worked for you in u8800pro rom? So thats the key! Maybe we can have u8800pro gingerbread with 3g working that way

My Radio version changed from 203023 to 203022.
Working HSDPA, HSUPA. HSPA+ probably not works, but in RF not working HSPA+.
You can to try restore my IMEI, before backup your IMEI and if 3G not workingб you return back IMEI

Followed the guide and now I'm running froyo with working 3G/4G!

Anyone have a working link???
I really was glad to find this post, only to find that the link that may have originally worked only downloads a virus to your pc.
I really hope someone has a restore image that I could use. I am bricked until I find a working one.

Cant boot anymore

Hi folks, i'm looking for 2 days a way to solve my DHD problem:
It can't boot anymore. It pop up the "htc quietly brilliant" screen, play the boot sound and, start this step again, and again, and again...
So I'm googling a LOT about how to solve this, if exist a way to restore the original rom. Because i'm thinking that was the problem, my original rom is gone.
That happens when i try to install 3 softwares from appbrain, my device got freeze and i hit the power button to reset. So, after that, my device is gone.
So i came here, to ask you folks: There is a way to recover the original rom ? Without send to warranty (because it spend something like 1 month here).
I'm not a mobile hacker or something, i'm just trying to be happy with my device.
Thanks a lot and sorry for my poor english!!
Perhaps try booting to the bootloader, by holding Power + Volume down button. From there, you should be able to do a factory reset, which may or may not fix your problem. Worth a shot at least, imo
And if it does not work when you do a factory reset, you can use a rom.zip from HTC RUU to restore your phone.
Now the important thing is to know which HTC rom you are running. If it is unbranded, 1.72.405.3 is a sure shot. Download the RUU.exe from Stock roms thread in android development subforum, and run it. When the window pops up, open run prompt, and type: "%TEMP%". Then search for rom.zip, copy it to your desktop, rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put it to your SD card (I hope that you have a card reader). Then just reboot to bootloader as tmh described, and watch the magic happen
Then if your phone is branded, you can still use the same technique to make PD98IMG.zip, but you have to get the RUU that matches your branding. There are lots of RUUs in android development subforum, just search.
Hi guys,
thanks a lot for quik reply!
I perform the procedure indicated by tmh, but without lucky ;\
I think it is unbranded. I buy it at Portugal and i'm using at Brazil right now.
I'll perform your tip jkoljo.
I'll post a repply to let people know if it works or not.
Thanks a lot!!
Hope the advice the last guy gave helps , a factory re set may work fine and fix the issue. Iv had 3 dhd since the day of release , the second one I had wouldn't switch on, had it replaced by Vodafone . Not sure weather or not they will give you a new one . Hope u get it fixed

I'm not sure if i got cover from warranty.
Right now, my "PROOF OF PURCHASE" is at europe, and i'm at america, so i must get this work again by myself, or pay (some expensive value, i think) for htc support.
I found those ROM version:
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163262_signed.exe 04-Jan-2011 12:41 285M Windows executable file

the different is just the radio version. just try flash one of them and see if that work.
WWE means World Wide English, which is an international release
Any one of those RUUs you linked is ok, as hedayat7 already said.
WWE is World wide English...so both are english Roms...try the RUU flash, it should work like a dream....

Sorry ask for your help again, but at Official thread (thread number 841207) for DHD files, both 1.72.405.3 links are broken.
So i search for another thread, and found another one, but when i run the .exe, it ask for a USB connection to device, so it appears wrong.
Could you gimme a hand to find the correct file?
PS: I can help with a web hosting to all correct files.
You probably found the correct RUU, now proceed to %TEMP% and copy rom.zip to desktop.
You can find RUUs here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
I am not completely sure if those zip files are actual rom.zips, you can check that. Open up the zip, and if it has a long list of hboot, system, android-info.txt etc, then it is rom.zip and you can just go ahead and rename it to PD98IMG.zip.

But i did that.
The "1.72.405.3" files at this URL are broken (Or need password to access it, because "You don't have permission to access" message pop up).
When i run the RRU i got two screens, first i must accept a advice, the second one ask if I have a USB connection to my device. Even when i proceed to next step, i got no .zip file on my %TEMP%.
Im lost because of that lol
UPDATE: OK I FOUND IT! haha ty
Thanks a lot my friends,
but it doesn't work.
I perform the process for 2 different roms, and it doesn't work.
Still can't boot.
I'll sent for warranty and wait a loooong time..
But thanks a lot for help me with this!!
Ok, then there is something wrong in the device itself. You have to send it to a service center.

Hi again,
i keep a little hope that i can restore my phone, so i found a possible solution:
OTA update.
At "showthread.php?t=667728&page=2", i found a guy with the same problem i think, here is the quote:
Kinma said:
I had the same problem last week.
I suspected it had to do with the EXT3 partition.
Solved it by first flashing the OTA 2.2 ROM (for rooted users) as this does not use the EXT3. Then used Rom manager to recreate the EXT3.
Now all ROMs that use the EXT3 run fine!

(thanks Kinma for the feedback)
So, i start a search for OTA update file here, and found at "showthread.php?t=885996".
But when i choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip", i got INVALID OPERATION.
Someone have a tip for me about this?
Thanks (its very sad, but i must keep hope).

You are welcome.
What happened was that after a reboot of the phone the phone started rebooting in the boot sequence, i.e. a boot loop.
I tried a lot of things and nothing worked.
Finally I suspected that the problem might be with the SD card. I had a backup, so I had no problem doing a factory reset.
Then I booted the phone without the SD card.
The phone booted fine.
That way I was certain that the problem was with the SD card.
I had 2 partitions on the SD card, an EXT3 part and the rest was a normal Fat part.
I could still read the card, so I made a backup of all the data on the card.
Then I reformatted the card using windows.
The phone booted fine with an empty, reformatted, SD card.
Since I use Apps 2 SD, I had to recreate the EXT3 partition.
If your rom does not use this, you do not have to do this.
After recreating the EXT partition, put back all files that I want on my SD card.
My advice would be to do a factory reset and after that boot the phone without the SD card.
If the phone boots, you know the problem is with the card.
Hope that helps; good luck!

Hi folks,
boot without the SD card, doesn't work =(
I'm really without luck with this.
I do:
- Factory reset
- Clear cache and userdata
- Boot without SD or/and SIM cards
- Reflash RUU WWE 1.72.405.3 Radio 26.04.02.17_M2
- Reflash RRU WWE 1.72.405.3 Radio 26.04.02.17_M2 SF
- erase all SD
One show was use OTA update.zip, but at this step i got "invalid operation"
SO, nothing works!
Well, it appears a lost battle =\
thanks folks for all help.
Yeah, there must be something wrong in your device itself, for example a motherboard fault. Send it back to HTC.

Ok I will post the tutorial later.. But about the 3g.. It is working, but you have to do factory reset after you restore from the linux backup..
Also, you will have the IMEI of the person who did the backup.. I tried to restore mine and I did it, but when I restored it, the 3g stopped working.. But in "about" it showed me my imei.. My IMEI backup was made when I already updated to u8800pro..
Maybe the files that this tool (5iromtoolbox) backup are the key for having 3g in the u8800pro rom.. (also with the libril-qc-1).. I dont know.. we should test it later..
Remember.. keep the original IMEI (not yours) and you will have 3g or H+.. whathever--
Advices:
- Do the full backup in Linux
- Backup IMEI (5iromtoolbox)
- Backup CWM
- Backup APN

How-to downgrade Impulse4g to froyo with 3g working

First:
- I am not responsible for any damage.
- This will change your IMEI.
- ***This will not work on Entel users in Chile as it is a locked restore (it is for at&t users only)-
- Just in case, do a Full Backup using this same method (but to your phone without the 3g working):
For Windows
For Linux
Now do an IMEI backup using the tool 5iromtoolbox (you can find it at the forum) (just in case also)
Now, lets restore to froyo with working 3g.
First, download the froyo backup file (about 400mb but its compressed, its really 3.9gb)
Here (thanks savagehq)
YOU HAVE TO DECOMPRESS THIS FILE AFTER YOU DOWNLOAD IT, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!
The file that you need is a ".img" file.
Now you need the same tool that I posted at the beggining (for Windows) or you can use the Linux guide, also posted. (windows is easier).
1- Open the tool "Roadkil's Disk Image"
2- Enter to pink screen (volume up and down, then power on)
3- Connect your phone to the computer through the backside usb port (its more safe)
4- Run the tool
5- Click on the "Write Image" tab.
6- In "Write Image to" click the combobox and choose "Physical Disk #" ("#" is a number)
* If there are more than one "Physical Disk #", then you have to choose the one that is about 3.6gb.. This part is very important.. if you give us a backup from another disk, it will leave our phone unusable.
*To be sure that that Physical Disk you choose is the Huawei u8800-51, You can run the tool again (because it has to refresh) without the phone connected, then check which disks are available. Then, close the tool again, connect the device (in pink screen), run the tool, and check what physical disk was added. But it will be about 3.6gb.
7- In "source file", choose the file ".img" that you EXTRACTED FROM THE DOWNLOADED FILE (remember it is about 3.9gb and extension is ".img")
8- Press Write Image.
9- After it is 100% ready, disconnect and do a factory reset and you will have 3g working.
***This will not work on Entel users in Chile as it is a locked restore (it is for at&t users only)-
***FOR THE USERS ON WIN7 HAVING TROUBLE WITH ROADKIL ERROR***
Download LockDismount to fix the issue
1. Run LockDismount (Run compatibility XP3)
2. Select the necessary 3.69 drive described above (check multiple times to ensure you're selecting the right drive, for me it was Physical Drive 1)
3. Click Lock
4. Keep LockDismount open
5. Run Roadkil and then go through the downgrade process
Error should be fixed now!
Hopefully this works for me!
The camera isn't working for me, the camcorder is though. Anyone else have this problem?
EDIT: I notice everytime i uninstalled the default messaging app, the camera didn't work. I guess they're linked somehow.
EDIT 2: I looked further into it and it was the beats audio zip (can be found in themes and apps) that cause the faulty camera.
Will this work for normal U8800
My understanding is that Impulse 4g is U8800-51, which has hardware differences to regular U8800.
Will this work for regular U8800?
I flashed ICS Aurora, which nulled IMEI.
I can still get network service, but can't get wifi connection.
Look this ROM:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDU4Mzc=
Maybe this ROM can work in Chile
I download that ROM and test if work

Yeah, that should work for Impulse 4g and u8800-51 of course, and if you have nandroid backup of your original u8800-51, and you restore if after flashing this stock rom,it should leave your phone just like before.
BUT, I guess I am done with testing. My u8800-51 is now working great with this guide and horse rom for u8800pro. I dont want to test and risk that.
Awesome
Thank you so much for this incredibly useful guide!
Bricked my U8800-51 after attempting to update my stock rom with a version of CyanogenMod customized for the U8800. My phone has been returned back to normal thanks to this guide.
My girlfriend, in her haste, flashed 2.3.5 to her Impulse 4G, not realizing she has a U8800-51 and not a U8800.
In my attempt to get her phone's data running again I flashed ClockWorkMod successfully and the Aurura 4.1 ROM successfully, but still no data.
Booting the phone by holding VOL UP + DOWN + POWER gives me a pink screen, but doesn't show up as a drive under Windows 7 or Linux.
Is it because I flashed CWN onto it? Is there anyway I can get it to show up as a drive so I can use the 3.9GB restore image?

How to fix that?

[Guide] Update any Motorola Charm to lates T-Mobile firmware (Working 2G / 3G)

Hey Guys,
The Admins decided to basically add the Charm forums into the Flipout forums, so far only the main forum heading has been changed, hopefully the admins will do the rest of the changes soon.
In the meanwhile, i thought it would be useful to post useful threads on the charm porting, basically since flipout and charm are the same phone with a different design, these should be applicable with respective changes to flipout also.

Thanks for the clear guide. Had a lot of difficulty with this back a year or two ago when I first got my Charm.
Does anyone know if the T-Mo (1700/2100) and 850/1900/2100 Charms have any hardware differences? Or is the 3G bands support purely in software?
I'm actually wondering if it's possible to do the opposite of this guide. That is, flash my existing deblur SBF, but with the T-Mobile BP files, to convert my Telus Charm into one that works on T-Mobile/Wind/Mobilicity.

yes you can but you will have to download telus sbf and T-mobile sbf, then replace firmware of t-mo sbf with that of the telus then copy bp files from telus to t mo, its given in the guide.
but after flashing t-mo ROM you can flash any other sbf other than. t mo as the bootloader gets updated.
but you could try the reverse to obtain a telus ROm working on T mo. Don't have either of these, so can't test it out also.
Cool, thanks. Will try it and report back.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Link to the sbf file is dead.

You'll need to update the apn settings for your carrier. Look around on the forums or search web, there are instructions. Your carrier's website could be helpful too, for example Bell Mobility (Canada): http://support.bell.ca/Mobility/Sma..._Nexus_One_for_the_Bell_Mobility_HSPA_network

Well my Carrier is Telcel in Mexico, but i have already created the APN settings for it.. but thers no option to turn on the data services... in some other forum they told me that the baseband frecuencies arent compatible and the only way of getting my 3g data back is to restore the device to the original LATAM firmware.. which i guess im not able to do since i cant go back from the TMOBILE bootloader..
PLease tell me im wrong and that there is a way of doing this..
Im gbuessing maybe sending it to motorola and they could do some magic?...

Hmm, weird, so you copied the bp_nvm_default files as above, and your 3G is working for calls but not for data?
Maybe try re-flashing the ROM?
I have a Charm that was originally on Telus (Canada), they use the same frequencies as Telcel (850/1900) for HSPA. Flashed the T-Mobile sbf and lost 3G, but replacing the bp_nvm_default files made the 3G work with Telus again. Took a couple of tries though - it's a bit finicky. Had to re-flash T-Mobile ROM a couple of times before the mod worked.

You are giving me hope here hehe ..
Well i did replaced the bp_nvm_default files...
You see after the flash of the Tmobile rom i had to do that in order for the phone to recognize the Telcel network.. so after i replaced the bp_nvm_default files, it worked and i can make calls.. and access 2g and 3g networks..
Then i went to wireless settings and added the APN info for telcel.. MMS, GPRS, and 3G... Everything ok there or so it seems..
Then i went to Data Delivery Settings.. but there is no option to turn off the Data services for 3g or 2g for that matter...
I have seen this in some other T Mobile roms (in a droid 2)....
Any clues..?? do you have a way to enable 3g data in your settings?...

Please doo
Hey guys, I got stuck on T-Mo firmware T-Mobile_MB502_02.60.5_1FF_01, trying to unlock my phone but the band of my operator is for 850-1900, so no phone calls.
I followed this tutorial and it looks that it worked but after RSD finishes and restart the phone, I'm geting the message "SIM network unlock phone" does this means that:
--- it is recognizing the band of my operator (Claro - Colombia) but I need to use one of the services that offers the unlock code like "unlockallcellular.com"?--- that was the point of doing the flash anyways...
or
--- for step "E- Restore network" I need the files from the - "bp_nvm_default" - folder from a actual working Charm on my network? I'm using the ones given on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903969&page=4 (TELUS) is there any unlocked ones?
or
--- Am I doing anything wrong? :crying::crying::crying::crying: I've done the procedure like 10 times...
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

No IMEI/WIFI/BASEBAND? This is your thread.

Mod edit: OP removed
I don't have this problem, but am sure tons of users would surely find this extensive guide useful! Much Appreciated Mate!
Thank you
Very well written, amazing work, thank you for mentioning me too.. For all who lost their imei's, feel free to ask anything about that matter, we have more methods to recover it.
@rombdeta

Thanks
Thanks everybody helped for this tutorial.You are just great
I have done what inside the tutorial,my problem is i have only 3g,so it goes to :
-Have imei but radio off and you can't change 3G to 2G or LTE, it's always in 3G. Put the QCN again, and only click in WRITE NV.
Where to put the qcn again? I presume rf nv manager ,right?

Yes right, but first do a full backup with QPST, then, yes put my QCN in RF NV Manager, wait you will see "the program can't resset your phone" or something like that, power off your device, and power on. You will see your connections.

RF NV Manager
@rombdeta
Could you pls explain to me the steps after put the qcn to RF NV Manager?
When i press put the qcn into rf nv manager , there is no nv items.I chose read supported rf nv items and go to 550 enter my imei,click write nv,write only listed nv items to qcn ,its okay.But once to restore the qcn with qpts there is no imei ,baseband,no signal,nothing.

No need to save the QCN, because that remove some of the QCN package, so you only have to click on "Write NV". Rewrite the QCN package, and do as I tell you, if you can't repair your device, send me a message and I'll help via TeamViewer. Greetings.
Hi @rombdeta, I followed the procedure to restore my IMEI code, but when I click on "settings > comport" the "RF_NV_Manager.exe" crash.. What can I do? Where's the problem?
Try with other PC
I really need help. Gone to CM11 version as specified done the adb shell. Now trying to config a COM Port. I don't know which COM Port is mine? I've got the A001 showing once in other devices with a ? and i have an android device stated as ADB shell in another.
I'm really confused. Please help
Thank god
Figured it out. Might i suggest a re-write?
Very much appreciated though!!
rombdeta said:
IF YOU HAVE A 32 bits operating system, you will see two A0001 in devices manager
click in the first, and install like the images 1 to 10.And when you open QPST, use the port who is in my case COM3.

@rombdeta sorry if I annoy you, but I want to ask why I do not have "images 1 to 10", and how I know what COM port is my device? (In "ports (COM and LPT)" in device manager I've only "communication port (COM1)" and "printer port (LPT1)")

Now I have my IMEI and my SIM just works fine. But I have a problem, to connect to a mobile networks the phone takes more than one minute, and I have to search the networks by myself.
EDIT: I noticed that 3G works (connected in 40/50 seconds, I think it's a bit slow) but the phone can't connect to 2G, with LTE didn't tried becouse at home I don't have it.
Received an invalid command from the phone.
what can i do after i press start it gives me this error " Received an invalid command from the phone.
