Ok so I started out with an x5 running an oxygen ROM ( unsure what one as its been awhile) with a full battery.
1. I then went to install the Aurora ICS 2.0.5 after doing all the wipes needed went to load and all i got was a system that fuctioned but not network service and no battery charging and the device showing 1% battery (it was full to start with).
2. I also tried the Elite.SX.Second.Release-FIXED.by.TerraMino.2012-03-29 ROM (all wipes done) just to get the same things happening
also tried to install and older Oxygen ROMs , oxygen 2.2.2 - 2.3.2 all wipes done) but the device didnt boot.
3. So then I tried a stock ROM via the dload method by puting this [11.07.28]_U8800_V100R001C17B162CUSTC17D001_(China_Unicom)(also another stock ROM I dont remember which) UPDATE.APP on the SD card (Cant put the UPDATE.APP on to internal memory as it is to large) then went to boot into the "pink screen" but nothing happened (both ROM's). Also tried many methods to try to get it to work.
4. After that I thought I would try Miui Prime v3 - by LegoLaSH (done all wipes and formats needed) once it booted I got no network service and battery at 0% although it is Full before starting. Also no battery charging while device is on.
5. I figured Id try ( althoug I guessed it wouldnt work)to install an Oxygen ROM first then install Elite.SX.Second.Release-FIXED.by.TerraMino.2012-03-29 ROM streight after it without wipes , still the same problems as installing the elite ROM alone.
So now Im here and stuck. Is there no flasher for Hauwei phones? oranother way I can get a ROM on the device? Its not my Phone its my partners.
Also its not the First Phone I have ever installed a custom ROM on although seems to be the hardest.
If any idea or more info needed please post.
thanks alot.

You need to install the official 2.3 rom before installing any of those roms.

Are you sure you put the UPDATE.APP inside the dload folder which is in the root of the sdcard? I never heard of this not working.
I am not sure which files the official 2.3 rom updates, but wouldn't it be possible to copy them from an updated U8800?

I had a freshly formated SD card with no other files or folders and I had the UPDATE.APP in a folder named dload on the SD card.
Is that not the right way?
You need to update to OFFICIAL 2.3.5 (you were updating to 2.2). You can get it here:http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDQzNTg=
This is porbably most repetead sentence in this forum and is also written in every ROM thread. Oygen was working beacuse its .32 kernel and the newer ROMs are .35 kernel and need to update to OFFICIAL 2.3.5 before flashing. If you would search a little you would find it in less than a minute.
Here is guide how to root and install recovery on official 2.3.5:

All the instructions for updating with dload method are in the pdf that is in the zip you downloaded from huawei page.

The UPDATE.APP file is only around 300 megs so will easily fit on your internal 2Gb memory so sounds like your trying to copy it to the pink screen memory which is wrong!

If you had read my post properly you would see I already know. thanks for you unhelpful post.
Also the Huawei link is giving me an Service Temporarily Unavailable message , and has since the other day , if you can upload it somewhere or anybody , I can download it then.
I think the problem is that he has a custom partition layout for the internal emmc, that needs to be reset to the default before installing the update.

Do I use the return-to-stock partition file or the 1.2G DATA + 1.46G INTERNAL SD file? Thanks
Ok I have tried both return-to-stock partition and 1.2G DATA + 1.46G INTERNAL SD file , I still cant get the internal SD to show on 2 computers.
I really hve no idea now.
The same problem after installing Aurora. Installed 2.3 first. Now can't install official update, just a pinkscreen, nothing happens. All custom ROMs easily installs with CWM.

Dzo is probably right about the partition layout of your internal mmc. But probably you cannot fix it with geno's method. I would suggest you to check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579366
Also it seems to me that you have the imei=0 problem when you updated from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 (no network - battery 1% or 0% are common problems)
And try not to flash different kernel based roms without upgrading/downgrading to the appropriate kernel, as this probably has damaged your phone.
Hope that helps

Hi everybody,
After I got an imei 0 problem I heard that I need to send it to my local servis and they write it back with no money. But here comes the big problem. I need the original firmware on it but I can't install it. Every time I tried I get install faild warning. I know how to install it. My phone can install every rom with cwm but with the dload I can't. After volume +, - and power combination the installation begins but after 25-30 % it stops. I tried it also in internal sd and external sd.Both doesn't work. Please help me so I can install the firmware and send it to rewrite my imei back.
Have you tried different officials, b518, b522, b526 or b528 if the files are corrupted on your version. Or maybe try old froyo versions.

Hi All,
So I'm tired of my stock 3.2.1 flipping between the "Your Device is Up to Date" and "Poor Network Coverage" messages when checking for the ICS update.
I current have:
Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1
Through this wonderful forum, I downloaded:
Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1_1333444737199_8ec8b991.zip
I found out it was encrypted, so I downloaded the Acer decrypting tool and unzipped it.
So with that said, I have a few questions:
1) Will this release of ICS work with my current device?
2) If yes, how do I update my stock 3.2.1 to ICS? Do I need to root it before I can update it, or can I simply copy the update to an SD/USB Stick and update from there?
3) Do I need to decrypt the install, or can I use the encrypted version?
Or should I simply stop being so damn impatient and just wait for the OTA?
Thanks.
Have you been back to the Market (Play Store) and installed the recent Enhancement Update to the Acer Update Readiness Tool? Should allow you to connect to those "lazy" servers.
Hello,
I just did the manual install to ICS myself that way:
1) dowload the ICS update you mentionned
2) decrypt the zip with the acer decrypt tool
3) only extract the update.zip in the decripted zip to the root of the external sd
4) shutdown the tablet and restart it pressing both power + volume dow button which start the update automatically
Ps: a good thing is that this update does not wipe existing intalled apps or existing data
Hope this helps

Thanks.....I tried it, and the process appeared to start ok. But after about 30 seconds the Android robot showed up with an exclamation point in a triangle.
So maybe this update was not for my system. I guess I'll just be patient and wait for the OTA upgrade.
(and yes, I do have the tab enhancement installed in case anyone is wondering).

Forgot to mention, just before updating to ICS, i tried to use another 3.2 stock rom to see if OTA was working better, so maybe this update to the other 3.2 rom is also necessary.

*** FIXED!!!!!! ***
I found out the SD card type is VERY IMPORTANT!!!
When I initially tried to install the ICS update from a generic SD card I would get the robot / exclamation / triangle error (I was using a Patriot 8GB SDHC Class 4 card).
I then tried using a Sandisk 2GB MicroSD card - UPDATE SUCCESSFUL!
I didn't have to use a Stock 3.2.1 image or anything - I just went straight to 4.0.3.
My new build number is ACER_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1 with Android version 4.0.3 of ICS goodness.
Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas and who posted on other sites!
EDIT - So I installed it, but then I had the dreaded DHCP-Wifi reboot problem. I fixed it by doing a factory reset, and all is good.

hi scuba just been talking to acer and if you get bad connection on screen they say do a factory reset but i am waiting for a good signal cause a factory reset will wipe the lot and if u have 50 odd apps then you will be in for a long haul reinstalling also the ics firmware update will be rolling out after may 1st as it was put back do to bug fixing and they wanna get u.k devices up and running with no hitch also the playstore app people insist on downloading will force close apps and the tab will go crazy and then you have to reinstall apps ect i have heard so many tales dont do it unless you want to also this bootloader root thing dont do it man it will either make the tab useless and invalidate your warranty if u still have 1 many thanks ps i will wait for the ics firmware and do a system update from the tab cya happy days

Thankyou xsenman that sounds simple enough,:fingers-crossed:
Well that worked great its now installed and the new rom looks sweet.
Problem i have now is im getting "An invalid IMEI number could cause network issues including the inability to call" anyone seen this before ?
Just found this :
Everyone is having IMEI problems, here is how you fix it.
1) Get ES file explorer or root explorer
2)Look in sdcard/backup/efs
3)Copy nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log to /efs.
4) Reboot and enjoy!
Ill post back after gym if it works =D
That should work. Actually a friend of mine had similar issue with his phone but from what I know this solution helped him to get rid of the problem
Typed with my I9001
tryed the above fix with astro manager from recovery and after file copy and reboot i still get imei error.
thanks for the post ruthlessrat, its good to know someone else has tried the above fix and its worked for them maybe others who stuble across this thread may be able to use it although i can confirm it did not work for me.
I'm assuming my nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log were bad, I'm looking into a imei fix here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162 Hopefully this will resolve the last issue.
Edit: Good news I've got another phone to cover me for a while so I can work on getting this phone set up
how i want it, I think i may need to return to a stock rom, will this restore the imei ?
Edit2 : Reinstalled Gapps from thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796675 this time its worked and Google play is now working fully so ive installed titanium backup and a few other applications that may come in use.
In the meantime alternate imei fixes and any advice would be useful on other cool features / functionality unique to JB. Thankyou to everyone again without the assistance it would have taken me allot further to get to this point.

Funny you should suggest that ive come across your thread, thanked, rated 5 and believe it should be newsworthy that thread could turn into a real noob's guide, I like it very much. I tried the first suggestion of copying the files , afraid it didn't work.
Second to that i tried this :http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JqLK_2I-SBM
but unfortunately my nv_data.bin is pure "FF" in the hex editor so I assume this is some kind of default setting? anyone know ?
I am now going to try..
you can start from the beginning.. go back to GB 2.36 (use a JVU ROM + Root, upgrade to ICS CM 9 and than to CM10
Solution for i9000 on JB:-Try not to jump from Gingerbread to Jellybean, as all upgrades should be done progressively. meaning you need to be on a GB 2.3.6> than into ICS and finally into JB.
I'm going to use GB 2.3.6 from sammobile.com
Can anyone recommend an ICS rom ?
following this I will flash Helly Bean latest nightly again.
Edit: Well Ive flashed back to 2.3.6 JVU & used the JVU CF - Root which works great, Ive backed up my rom and ets folder ready for jellybean the problem is when running through the installation ui it gets stuck on the final " Helly Bean installed" screen after making your software selections,
When I click next to finish it just hangs and the phone becomes completely unresponsive. at this point Ive removed battery and restarted but alas I'm still on cf rooted gingerbread. I don't understand why as it worked fine before.
Ive tried clearing both cache's and reset, this made no difference.
Ive also reinstalled stock rom, re flashed CF-Root & Tried again with no success.
I'm going to look into ICS roms and post back.

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

I am in need of help....
I have a Huawei u8800 pro. I upgraded it to ICS the official upgrade. I had rooted my device when it was on 2.3.5 itself.I had changed the recovery to twrp and had flashed many ROMs onto it which were listed in thus forum. Every ROM were good but always had a problem with the network. I used to go back to the gingerbread everytime because i had a nandroid backup.

the new one as in TWRP 2.8.6.0?
which version of ICS did you install B928?
if so did you:
check if baseband 404029 instead of 404020?
IMEI wasn't messed up during process?
follow pink screen unlock method?
where does it say image signature verify fail during which process?
I am not able boot the phone its....neither to recover or normal mode...the baseband was 404029..I think

If you were on B928 version, you can run pink screen unlock to install a custom recovery such as TWRP.
However if you're not able to boot, this possibly means you flashed a wrong firmware. double check if you have a u8800pro not the u8800 or u8800+ (i'm not sure about the + one) they have different firmware.
Overall if you have a u8800pro, i recommend installing the stock B928 following the official procedure, this is almost a foolproof method to fix any possible software issue you may have.

Solved the problem
The answer was so simple....If u want all the data present in your mobile download the boot loader unlocker from the website given above by sarsiroslayer..thx man
Paste the Update.App in folder called dload and the folder should be in the root of the sdcard...yes you need a sdcard...and then remove the battery of the phone so it switches off...then connect the phone to the USB wire without battery...and immediatly press the volume. Down,volume up and power button...so it goes to a pink screen..and remember the sdcard should already be placed in the phone...and yes if the phone does not go into pink screen and instead starts to update the software Olla ur phone is fixed......restart and all will be fine...
Ifthis did not work or u don't want any data download the official 2.3.5 android from the huawei site and place the update.app in dload folder and do the same thing as above....My phone is working..:highfive:
Remember remove the battery...before updating ....
Thx all for ur support..xda rocks...
I have typed the solution so even a begginer can utjnderstand...
