Hello, my u8800 just died..
i got a blue screen a couple of time and had to pull the battery.
now it is completely dead... ? how so?
it was running MIUI just fine and i just rebooted it and got a blue screen..
What happens if you press and hold Vol+,Vol- and Power?
Can you still get into Bootloader?
Bluescreen usually wipes the Bootloader, but you can fix that if you can still access it...
In case you lost all the data in Bootloader (pink screen), format the partition with FAT32, create a folder called "image" and copy the following files on there.
EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v
Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac
Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97
If you can't access the Bootloader (pink screen), I'm afraid it's going back to warranty.
same thing happened to mine, still trying to fix it. managed to flash CWM recovery like that but now factory reseting leads me no where, of course, and restoring a backup from the sd didn't work either, all i get is a bootloop.
i'm so very lost please help, tell me what you need to know to help me
DON'T factory reset or restore a backup! Once you've had a blue screen, you CAN'T restore or factory reset a Rom.
You should flash a custom Rom directly. Just copy the Oxygen.zip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u8800oxygen/files/) in the root folder of the SD card and then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
Flash the new Rom by Selecting "install zip from SD" and select the Oxygen.zip archive, the installation process does everything else.

Thanks GOD!
It was completely dead, but when i wake up this morning i got it on with bluescreen again, hooked it up with my pc and copied the files u linked.
now it seems MIUI is booting fine again!
but how come it got wiped in the first place?
Not sure to be honest...It's some sort of miscommunication between bootloader and Rom (kernel) and Huawei designed a fail-over mechanism that wipes the bootloader (screen becomes blue when this happens).
Anyway, glad to hear that you got it going again.
wow thanks katu2006 xD I just realised how stupid I was
you see this whole thing happened, I think, because I tried formatting a NTFS sd card I put in the phone. I wanted to put files bigger than 4GB in it...
so when I got the blue screen and then managed to boot into CWM recovery, all I had to do was flash a ROM, I knew that, but my internal sd card was wiped clean and I couldn't access it in my PC when I plugged the phone. then I just figured I should get another sd and put MIUI in it and then stick in the phone LOL it's working fine now, thanks a lot
Glad to hear that you problem was resolved as well.
I have the same problem with my U8800. And I follow your direction and I can log in to the Miui rom, but it has the notification "Blank SD card or unsupported file system" and ask me to format the SD card. But when I format the SD card, it change into the blue screen again in the next reboot time. What should I do.

OK, you should copy the SD Card contents to your computer, format it with FAT32, copy the folders back and then try to boot in Recovery and reinstall Miui again.
I also had such a problem. And as in your situation, my solution was to copy those files into 'image' folder. Though, blue-screen-trouble is still actual and we have to blame only huawei-guys
Is your IMEI allright? after some of theese operations, I had mine nulled.

I beg to differ - for me when I had a blue screen yesterday - tried everything other than reflash. In the end I pushed a clockworkmod backup to the internal sd card via adb, did a restore and problem solved.

Blue screen
I was stuck with a blue screen for days after i formated the internal mem, i got stuck until I came across your post . downloaded the files to image folder and here i am with a working phone, thanks a million.
Hi,
I believe i bricked my brand new, just-out-of-the-box U8800 Pro. I will write the exact steps i did (in other words i will write what you SHOULD'T do!):
1. i entered the pink screen and copied the official recovery.img (5.0.2.6). then i tried to enter the recovery menu but it didn't work. it just showed a blue screen and that's it.
2. then i copied the unofficial recovery version (5.0.2.3) and it worked. i made a backup and flashed cm7 using the recovery. i did not reboot and wiped data. after that i rebooted the phone but it did not boot. it was just showing the huawei logo.
3. then i wiped everything again and rebooted. when i entered the pink screen mode there was no image folder nor any files. i could't access the recovery. i searched the forum for a solution and found links to 4 files (amss.mbn, boot.img, EMMCBOOT.MBN, recovery.img). i copied them to the phone but still couldn't enter the recovery.
4. on that same thread i found something about flashing U8800V100R001C00B138SP04CUSTESTC205D001(Esthonia Elisa). i copied the /dload/UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_CUST.APP files to my sd card. then flashed them by pressing VOL+ VOL- & POWER buttons at the same time. everything was looking nice... it said unpacking.. then installing.. and right after it said COMPLETE the phone restarted and since then it is showing just a black screen.
5. when i pull out the battery and insert it back the phone just vibrates but the screen doesn't even blink or something. it's like completely dead.
in sd card i found sd_update.log file:
"notesdld_file_ptr != -1) ! update.app have updated! start cust update ! SD download finished!"
if anyone has any thoughts, suggestions or info i would be very greatfull. thank you.
the rom B138 (Esthonia Elisa) is meant for U8800, not ur U8800Pro..
you finaly bricked your phone by flashing ROM from different model. now only service center can help you.

That goes for 5.0.2.6 recovery too (it's u8800 only). And I believe you did the same thing with CM7 for U8800, not Pro
My phone is not working too but I bricked it in the differrent way
hi, can someone help.
I've tried to install update 2.3.5 for u8800pro (second one with bug fixes) to my u8800pro, but i did something wrong. Now the phone didn't work.
1. I've copied step1 file to SDcard. that's it.
I,ve got to menu-stetings-sdcard-upgrade from sdcard.
upgrade started, then phone rebooted, but touchscreen is not reacting, also senso buttons. also it says that there is no sim card but it is in the phone.
I have no image of old system.
I think that what i did wrong that I copied only Step 1 file in Dload folder of SDcard (in upgrade there were also Step 2 and Step 3 files, but i didnt put them in SDcard Dload folder)
2. Then i've downloaded original Stock rom for u8800pro. Via computer i deleted from SDcard dload folder and then created new dload folder and copied stock rom (2 files).
Took off batery for 5 min., then pushed vol +, vol- and pwr buttones.
Got screen android system recovery (3e) with 4 options.
but i canot do anything from that point. I can't choose from theese options (buttons are not working), vol- or vol+, or pwr button not reacting.
maybe someone knows how to recover my phone to original stock or make something else to work phone?
Hi there, did you managed to recover your phone?
I have the same problem with my U8800PRO after attempt to upgrade to Gingerbread.

Hi
I upgraded my phone to 2.3.5 and after that i flashed the auroraICS ROM. Before upgrading i made a backup using CWM, and now after i used the recovery option in CWM i wont get past the huawei logo after i turn the phone on. I cant get back into CWM either it only goes to the huawei logo. Does anyone know a way to fix this? If so i would be very happy xD
So you went back from ICS to stock 2.3.5 by recovering your 2.3.5 backup using CWM, and then it wouldn't boot properly?
Do you have anything important in that backup that you want to recover, or do you just want to get your phone clean and working again?
In any case, have you tried putting an official update on your memory card and "upgrading" with the usual method (holding both volume buttons and power button at boot)?
If that doesn't work, are you able to access the pink recovery screen by holding the same buttons without the dload folder on your memory card (though you may need the card inserted)?
If so, connect a USB cable to your computer and see which folders you can see. In my experience, Windows has only seen the /.cust_backup/ partition, while (CrunchBang) Linux has seen four automatically, including the internal SD memory. Copying a dload folder to the internal memory and using the normal upgrade method without the external SD card inserted could work.
I used the backup to get rid of aurora and just get normal stock rom. I tryed to "upgrade" back to 2.3.5 using a dload folder and pink screan and it worked! Thank you! A "thanks" to you sir! Glad i didnt have to send my phone in for reparation xD
I use cm7 for a while and want to install aurora ics, copied dload file to sd card.
I turned on phone while holding +- and power button simultaniously.
Booted into pink screen but no update started.
I tried replacing boot and recovery image with original but makes no difference
Tutorial in aurora thread from cm7 to aurora doesn't work for me
Earlier i also installed miui once maybe this is the problem?
Can someone help?
Try putting the dload folder in internal memory or try to remove battery, plug USB cable and pressing volume keys and power before the phone boots...

Also, if this is the fist time you're updating to .35, I recommend you use this version of stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545923
That won't lock your bootloader, so you'll have USB access in pink mode at all times to easily install recovery images.

by "dload" file i think u meant the stock gb rom (B522, B526, B528, etc.), right?
if yes pls describe how u put file in the sd card with detailed directory structure..
also, change to cwm 5.5.0.4 to flash aurora rom..
pink screen- no update
I use this U8800 V100R001C00B136SP05CUSTC75D001(Portugal TMN) from in the aurora thread altough i don't speak portugese
If you know a usable english version?
I put it in /sdcard/dload?

I recommend you use the one from the link I posted, because any other stock 2.3.5 ROM and you'll end up with a locked bootloader and, because of that, with no access to usb in pink mode. that would be reversible, but requires more unecessary work....
To start the upgrade process you must have the UPDATE.APP inside a dload folder in the root of sd card. Any other file structure and the upgrade process won't start.
It should look like this:
SdCARD/dload/Update.app.
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
I had the same problem - no automatic update, only pink screen.
Then I tried another microSD-card and it worked.
Take off battery and connect to usb while pressing +-power buttons..that worked for me
Your phone goes to pink screen if sd-card doesn't contain only dload-folder.

I got the same problem, when i press volym UP + volym DOWN + power i only get into pink screen and not the "upgrade" screen... I have tried to hold volym UP + volym DOWN and then connect the USB but didnt work, i have tested with two other SDcards but didnt work
Step1 worked perfectly and installed without problem but not step2.
Any solutions?
I have a U8800 Pro with the original 2.2.2 kernel.
I attempted today to update to 2.3.5 so that then I could take it to the newly released 4.0.3.
All these were done with the official Huwaei ROMs. (U8800%2B Android 2.3 V100R001C00B572G001)
I did a factory restore before I started the whole process just to be on the safe side as well.
Unfortunately during the second step of the process after the reboot the phone remains in the "Unpacking - Update Failed" state
I cannot go into the pink screen mode. I tried with removing the battery as well but even though I attempt to boot with Volume + power key pressed it still goes straight to the update process and the obvious error. Obviously I cannot access the internal SD card from my PC (does not show up on dmesg) so I can at least delete the dload directory
Is there a way to bypass this problem and go to pink screen mode ?
If I use an external SD card and put a ROM on that will it boot from that or it will still first access the internal SD card ?
Thanks is advance for any answers.
Try to put dload folder on a external sd and update again. I guess you cant access recovery right?
Try to turn on the phone in pink screen (Download Mode) without the SD CARD, I use that trick when the same problem attack my phone.

Yeah it worked.
Used an external SD card to do the update and to phone booted without any trouble.
It seems the update file on the internal SD card must have been corrupted or not transferred correctly.
Still the inability to access to pink screen was quite scary. Serves me right for using the internal storage for something like this.
OK
