Hey guys,
first, im sorry for opening a new thread, but none of the other threads helped me.
I bought a HTC Touch 3G Clone in China:
ROM: 2.706.2
QUALCOMM 7225
528 Mhz
RAM: 192MB
NEXPERIA SY.SOL 5209
Windows 6.5 Chinese
HardSLP doesn't work. It cant get a connection to the phone, although ActiveSync has one.
Then i tried to upgrade with my 1gb sd-card. But none of the button-combinations of this forum work.
I tried some other comb. and found three of them:
green button + red button + power --> reset config
vol up + vol down + power --> calibration screen
vol up + red button + power --> a white screen with "downloading"-label
vol down + red button + power --> a green/white screen saying: Checking valid image file
I think the last one is important to install a new rom. After 10 seconds it says:
Step 3 error while updating
Card operate: read retry timeout
Then i tried several rom-versions posted here. Nothing happens.
I just want an english operating system...
I really hope someone can help me. Its driving me crazy...
Thank you for your help.
Buddy close this thread & go 2 Touch 3G General -where u have posted ur thread- & read other threads, many can help.
HSPL does not work 4 cloams!! & also u can't use those custom ROMs on cloam!
check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580367&page=3 but make the "hxxp" correct!
Also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657212 links.
Search more, u will find stuff. If u follow the General forum related 2 cloams (clones) u will get more! U shall use a ROM working 4 cloam. Mine is T3238+, I'll try 2 help as far as my knowledge lets me!
Thank you for your help.
Sure, I can post my problem there. But I already read them and it didnt help. I tried both of the ROM-files. I get the same error:
Step 3 error while updating
Card operate: read retry timeout
I have a 1GB sd-card, formated in standart windows-fat-format.
I think there must be another button-combination for the update mode.
But like i said none of the combinations mentioned in the board work, and there are plenty of them...
In your second link I have seen:
3) Boot into TF Update Mode by holding the Green + Confirm + Red + Power Button
I tried it, nothing happens (if the confirm button ist the round big one in the middle)... What should I do?
Hi again,
Yes, confirm = big button; only use the ROMs 4 cloam phones not those 4 real 1s.
Seems that ur phone starts reading the file but stops in the middle, this means u have gone 2 update mode, only it can't continue; try another SD card.
-- Mine is Touch 3G T3238+. By far NO key comb. has worked 4 me. Seems that these cloams don't have a booter like other 1s.
I turned off my phone -> connected it 2 PC w/ WMDC -> Vol. down + green + power => a menu screen appeared!! w/ options like "update OS", "update logo" & ...
C if this works 4 u, though "update OS" did not work on my phone but mine has sum other problems 2, so u give it a try.
-- Turn ur phone off, insert the SD & just turn it on normally, this shall start reading SD.
Don't make the card as FAT 32 (though not possible!), only FAT or FAT 16.
Don't put the ROM in a folder on SD, let it be on the root directory.
-- Once open SD w/ ur phone -as u open e.g. "My document" - & c what message it shows? Does it even read the card??
Thank you very much for your help. I finally made it.
The trick ist to use a ROM with a .bin-format and rename it to "k3img.bin"
The update mode doesnt accept other names.
I flashed my phone to windows mobile 6.1 eng. version.
Now i have a bunch of other problems. Bad key mapping, no camera... and the biggest problem: the phone doesnt find any storage cards.
Under Settings-System-Memory it says: "Total storage card memory: Not installed".
What can i do? I need that extra storage.... And now i cant get into the update mode because windows deleted the old button map. Tried any combination, doesnt work.
Please help.
Hi again,
Well, I am a noob myself!! unfamiliar w/ these phones!! but I think keys problem is bcoz of the ROM; though it is installed, but it's not the proper 1!
Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662170&highlight=QUALCOMM seems that this "first aid" has helped!!
Trying another ROM, BUT now that u can't use SD ......!! also the PC does not run .bin or .upr files!! Mayb if u change the file 2 .exe, it gets installed (of course after sync.!)
2 get 2 update mode, c if connecting 2 PC (my prev. post) does any good!!
I don't know any way; In sum days I shall go 2 the phone service center 4 my phone; I'll ask 2 c if they knew any way & [/I]if if they let me know about it[/I]!!

Thanks,
I will try it out.
which one should i use,the same as mine or different one.
I lived in us Hawaii
Probably the one you have as long as its the FULL one. (about 356MB) For me it was 4.010.11_COM_GEN2. I live in the US. You'll find it in the ABOUT TABLET.
Is that 3.1 update
Is yours a 3.1 update,I went to office depot this morning and I can reset their unit easily by going to privacy and factory reset.
I don't know what happen to mine.
My friend just brought a new one and update to 3.1,can I copy the rom from his unit to sd card,then use it on my machine.
Thanks
Jimmy
Do you have stock or custom recovery?
If you're using CWM recovery, you need to make a modification to erase all data
see the CWM thread (OP) for instructions:

Any idea
Jimmy
I did download from some place,I put in sd card (zip file),it get error when rebooting from sd,do I need to unzip and put in a folder.
Thanks

Just had a thought that might help you. On your tablet, go to apps, settings, privacy, and unmark "backup my data". Let it sit for a few minutes then hit the Factory reset option.
I do IIf that doesn't work the file you'll need is the "Acer_A500_1.141.07_4.010.11_COM_GEN1". It took me forever to find it and when I did it was buried in a post. "Search" XDA or google it. I can't upload it as the file is too big. Ive tried to find it again and couldn't. If I do, I'll post the link.

Seems like it don't recognise the sd card.After i remove the card and put it on galaxy it will add a folder name lost directory on my sdcard
Any idea.
Thanks
1. Did you try the unmarking backup method? Did it work?
2. Your SD Card should have at least 2 files on it: Lost Dir and android secure-which is a hidden file.
I cant remember if the Acer_500 file needed to be decrypyed or not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14209794&postcount=1
You need to pull the update.zip and put it on the root of SDcard.
Read these 2 posts. These are where I got alot of info. Thanks to all these reference posts and files.

Dear developers,
I have deleted (by mistake) program Launcer from my Smartphone and now it is not going to load. When I turn on it, there is only symbol of IDEOS. After a minute symbol starting to twinkle, but system not loading.
Could you please tell me how can I return to original firmware?
I hope someone will be able to support me.
If the launcher is the problem, you can just install another, or push again the original from a rom via adb. I assume that the device is rooted(I think you cannot delete a system app if isn´t). If you can connect to pc, then possibly you can install a launcher from huawei' s suite(I´m not sure because I don' t use windows and I haven't try this app) or from a android file manager like QtADB, Android commander or Droid Explorer. You can also install it only with adb via windows command prompt:
http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/google-android/articles/37151.aspx
And maybe, if wifi is enabled and connected, you can just install a launcher from market via pc' s web browser:
https://market.android.com/
The Modaco wiki has a list of original firmwares, but no link to Huawei works anymore. However, it is possible to download the latest China Unicom firmware - which does contain english language support. That should at least get you started.
As a new user I can't post links yet, but it is easy to find if you look for u8800 software, and then switch to Chinese.
Put the extracted directory (dload) on an sd card, in the top/root, put it in the phone and then hold volume down and power on.
Note, this will blow everything away to start from scratch so make sure it is what you want. In addition everything will be in Chinese so you need to be able to navigate to the settings to set it to English.
Better ideas? I am a noob myself so no guarantees...
I have unrooted it before to delete some trial games. And deleted Launcher by mistake.
I can't connect via usb now.
I'm afraid if I upgrade firmware, I have less memory because old one will not be deleted. Or maybe I'm wrong?
No, you're not gonna have less memory.
Did you tried to wipe to factory defaults from recovery mode(power button and vol+)?
You will not have less space because an original firware will format everything from boot partition, system and data... Basically , it will give you original software and status like it came from factory ... Like the other user said, jut find it, extract it , put the dload directory to the root of you sd card and hold volume down and start up the phone ... You will see a progress bar and when it is finished , the phone will restart itself, you will have to wait longer due to the creation of new files and there you go

Install recovery first, then you can connect your device to PC using recovery. If you have friend that have X5, copy the launcher. Else, just install Custom ROM.
The old one will be removed if you install custom ROM. If I'm not wrong.
Recovery.
Unplug USB, turn off your phone, press and hold vol + and -, then press power. Hold those three buttons until it turned on and the screen is purple-pink.
Backup all image data(copy). The rest is in the link.
Sorry for my English. Hope you understand what I write..

You are magician. it works now.
hmmm... but there is no launcher application - no workspace available. it doesn't want to load as before. strange.
upgrade don't work too. It is cycle repeating of step1/2.
I just tested and found that you can copy the missing apk from bootloader mode. In this mode(power + vol- + vol+ buttons), when connected to pc via usb cable all partitions of device mounted(at least this happens on linux). So, you can navigate to system partition on /system/app folder and copy there the missing launcher' s apk file. You can find this file on a custom' s rom(or on an official' s rooted rom like modaco's roms) update.zip file. It's on system/app folder. I tested this on linux and I could(not as normal but as root user though) copy or delete files from there.
dancer_69, thank you for your support. At my side when I connect via bootmode, there is only flashdrive is visible.
It's really strange that it is not going to upgrade.
I'm able to apply sdcard:update.zip. So maybe if to put this application inside of the card, it could install. but I don't know how to do it.
I finded apk file and tried to install it but it don't receive file because it hasn't some certificate. ???
I think you have 3 options here.
1. flash an official rom(you put the dload folder of rom's zip file on root of sdcard and boot to bootloader mode. The update starts automatic)
2. Use a linux system(maybe a livecd) to access the other partitions.
3. Try to reroot the device from pc, via superoneclick app(you can find it here), so to have access to system again.
but I haven't access to installation program area. nothing!
I have only ability by pressing (vol + and on) to choose install update.zip from flash card.
so.
1. when I runned new firmware from dload it didn't install. it was cycling at first level (1/2)
2. linux is good idea. but I'm not sure that it's will be profitable. maybe I have turned off access to partitions inside of phone
3. I can't install superoneclick as I'm not able to install any application.
I hope we are closer to some geniously idea. I have bought phone yesterday and we haven't service center in our city. So, I need to buy the other one.
This is not so serious problem, it' s not hardware, it´ software related. And I think you cannot turn off access so easy.
The superoneclick is a pc application. You don't need to install something on device(if I remember well, because I use it once before a long time). You can try it.
And you can try linux too.
I don't think that this is a problem that only service can solve it.
What firmware you tried? Try another one. And better try to find the one that you device has(if you know it)
Thank you for positive opinion.
1. Will try to change firmware as you said. Try 2 more firmware from Huawei.
2. Superoneclick needs approval from phone, today night I wasn't able to run it.
3. I'll try Linux too.

Hi.
Can any1 help me.
Dont know how to do it.
I tried copying dload(with ofical 3.2) to sdcard and power phone with +/- & power, but it stays in the pink screen
thanks
Make sure you have copied the particular folder to particular location. The dload folder should contain only one file "update.app" the location should be f:\dload (where f is your sd card). If everything is correct go to recovery and format the cache partition. (only cache nothing else and try to reboot and update with 3.2)
I did it.
Just upgraded without wipes or cleans.
Is the 5.18_entropy working fine?
thanks
yes working fine till yet but..m not liking it.. may b i will move back to CM9

Hi,
Sorry my english but im from portugal and don't speak to much english.
I need a HUGE HEELP with my Huawei Ideos X5 (U8800).:crying:
I will try to explain:
After try update, the update fails and the phone "died" (bricked, i guess), but i searched about the problem where and got success ("U8800 Software Upgrade Guideline"), the phone "wake up" and got me to blue screen and pink screen (power + Vol +).. but then i dont know what do next and do ****
I mess up the partition and deleted some ones (the little ones), and the phone "died" again, but this time the steps that i used on the first time doest work any more. I try everything and no success :crying:
I'm a beginner in android, but this time i mess up , right ?
Is any solution for this ? To recovery the partition ? Don't know, need help. Can someone help me ?
my u8800 die after this ?
(I attach a "example" of the partitions i delete on windows 7 "disk management". Delete 2 or 3 partitons, i guess)
Plz answer me
What are the contents of the sdc1 (/cust partition with image folder inside it)?
The partition table looks fine though. And what do you mean by "died", just shut screen off? Try doing the update while attached to USB, or even without battery (using USB as power).

Thanks for the answer ,
I mean, my phone (huawei u8800) won't turn on.. is dead .. won't respond.. i guess that because i (dont know why) deleted some partitions "unallocated". And after that the phone doesnt turn on again.
the attachement that i put on the first question is just a example of the partitons.. before i mess up my partitions are like the image i attach. you understand ? sorry my english
I'm not dev and i send my phone to technical service two times. First time; dark screen, no respons any bootloop etc. and came back to with new main card because it was damaged. At second time was same as dark screen, no bootloop etc. and came back with new updated rom b528.
You must calm down.
Do you have b518 or higher version? If you answer is yes go to copy it sd card. But you must create a folder with named "dload". Your update.app must be inside "dload" folder.
Infact when you look at your version, u will see step1 folder. If you look in, you will see dload folder again. Copy or cut it and then paste to main directory.
Just relax, drink water or what if you want .
Replace your battery. When you connecting cable to pc or some have usb plug doesn't matter (tv,DVD player). IMPORTANT!!!UNINTERRUPTED POWER SOURCE. When you connecting cable to SOURCE you must press power button, volume + button and volume - button at the same time. If your problem is only software this is your medicine; DON'T FORGET IT: IDE(A)OS NOT DIE.

If you deleted mmcblk0p2 (/dev/sdc2), then it's done for good (you deleted bootloader partition). The only way to fix it is through hardware modification, and we haven't covered yet how to do the software part yet. The "unallocated" parts just show Huawei's faults in the allocation. Ideally, there would be no such space between these partitions.

There's always JTAG, but our phone has 6 test pins that are used to check the phone's motherboard to see if all connections are working. One of those pins had to be shorted, which would let the phone turn on into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. However, we haven't got farther than that. It's a risky procedure aswell.
The repair shop can use JTAG if they know, however most of them will just replace the motherboard for a nice fee.

Huawei's out of the new models:Huawei honor 3 c
But do you still get to the pink screen? How did you "delete" those partitions?
the above in Portuguese
Mas ainda consegues chegar ao ecran rosa? Como é que apagaste essas partições?
There is no need to panic.
This happened with me also.
I guess you have tha dload folder and put the official update file into it.
Connect the USB cable to PC(I don't know what it does but it works).
Press VOL+, VOL- and POWER key
It will start installing.
Try both the official Huawei roms 2.2 and 2.3 in this way.
If if you have managed to get the pink screen. Try different recoveries and ROMS.
For me I put the following recovery

Hi all,
Some days ago I tried to modify my system partition to have more free space to install jb roms.but when I tried to install the zip for the partition ,it failed. Now when I try to install the official update, it failed at step 2/2 just before the end.also if I connect the phone to the usb without battery it shows the image I attached.Can I do something or I bricked it?
