[HELP] Restoring of brick Huawei U8800

Restoring of brick Huawei U8800.
All do at your own risk! I am not responsible for your machines!
Today I was able to magically (just wonderful, because it found the time at which there is a chance to run the update) to recovery from a brick Huawei U8800 (corrupted bootloader + recovery not run + in a pink screen not mounted hard drive + when trying to update the written Update failed! I spoke to a service center, they said the warranty is not the case and we must change the motherboard (the cost of 3-4 million BYR, new at the MTS salon cost 2.9 million BYR )
What and how I did:
1) To restore I'am using the firmware B162 Android.
2) Format the micro SD card that was clean (I was 8 gb, 2 class and be sure to FAT 32) and unpack "dload" folder and ".txt" file(with a strange name) from the downloaded archive to sdcard.
P.S. I say that not all flash drives can operate restore, I have like three went, normally only one.
3) Insert the micro SD into the phone and pull out the battery.
4) Hold down the Volume (+) and power up, hold and connect the phone via cable to your PC, your phone will be switched on and the logo appear, then turned off my phone (missing logo). So, when the logo will disappear (ie the phone will turn off) and immediately hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and power up.Main that the updating process can start only one time after the logo was gone, if after a few times in a row press both the volume keys and power up, updating does not start, it is necessary to re-clamp the volume (+) and the power up, after the disappearance of the logo, both the volume and the power up of ... I have to go to the upgrade process if you wrote "Update failed!", try again (I went with 2 times).
5) After a successful update, the phone will reboot, on reboot he should loaded the standard blue recovery.
6) Turn off the phone from the computer, insert the battery, hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and turn on, wait until you get a pink screen, release the button and connect it to your computer. You should see a new device and to define a disk drive with a folder "image". If we define - rejoice!) If not, then you need to install the driver on the internet enough to the driver, as well as the wood in my going to the Android SDK, not sure ...
7) Thus, we can assume the phone repaired) Download recovery 4.0.0.5 and unpack the archive and copy the file "recovery.img" to a folder "image" with the replacement. A man does not 4.0.0.5 recovery loaded, it is strange, but recovery 5.0.2.7 normally loaded
8.) Disconnect the phone from the computer, pull out / insert the battery and try to enter the recovery (volume (+) and power up).
9) If set, then everything is OK and can now be sewing. I still put 2.2 Geno v8.4 + software package from Google, but I recommend again read all instructions on the firmware, to avoid problems!
Good luck, hope that helped someone, he sat on the forums more than one day, but have not found a solution.
If someone has turned out, a sign of gratitude you can throw money on my phone +375297176005 (MTS, Belarus), would be very grateful
P.S.
Instructions is my and it's my first, that do not copy and paste, you can search the Internet. Do not judge strictly, if something is not designed ...
If there are people who helped, I think you can throw his hat in the description. My message is also present in our 4pda.
Hope springs eternal
Sorry for my english, I'm from Belarus and bad know it

Just thought I would mention it, if you connect the pink screen to Ubuntu/Linux, it will most likely mount.

Just tried this recovery method on a bricked U8800. Didn't do anything at all. Must admit that it was bricked in a way that i didn't see anything at all on the screen. Neither did i notice anything in dmesg on a linux machine.

Help

[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
Sent from my HAL

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.
Or this onehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14870348

My phone is stuck at a blue screen on start up, and when i try accessing my phone from the computer and putting old firmware to flash it, it says there isnt enough space on the device...

Was the problem random? Or had you tried to update the ROM before the error?
Well if you are stuck on the blue screen that you say then you can't access the phone 2GB internal mem or the external SD. what actually loading is the partition for storing the boot image and its like which is around 190 Mbs only.
If you have an external memcard use a card reader to connect it to the computer and copy the dload folder of the firmware onto the memcard, return it to the phone and reboot while holding the Vol+ and Vol- plus power key. this should work but if it doesnt the remove the battery and connect the phone to your charger while holding the Vol+ and Vol- plus power key again. This worked for me when i had a similar problem.
Good luck

Messed bootloader, cant downgrade, Bricked. Upgrade ICS. SOLVED

I triead a lot of thing, but cant downgrade to offical gingerbread, to update ISC.
I moment have latest Oxygen.
English is not my mother language, so can someone explain step by step with DL links, how to do this.

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 ?

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

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?
