Your wording is pretty hard to understand, but I seem to detect a hint of sarcasm. You really can't get angry for not receiving a response in only 13 minutes. There are plenty of people here who would have helped you out, but when you post at 1:19am EDT, there isn't a lot of traffic on the forum...

You don't need to rename anything. Please download the latest version of ROM manager from market and then download this CWM from here and follow the instructions well. After that, when you flash something, anything, do not do 'apply update from sdcard', instead directly select the zip files from sdcard by rebooting into recovery and then look for the zip file by going to 'install zip from sdcard - choose zip from sdcard' and then look for specific zip file and then select/install it.

It was my understanding that with CWM 3.0.2.4, the method you linked to was no longer necessary and considered outdated. The newest version can flash both Gingerbread and Froyo ROMs, and doesn't have the charging bug.

[Q] Phone doesn't start properly after font flash

hello,
i rooted my Huawei and then used Root Tools to flash a font on it (don't remember which one it was).
Now my device seems to start, the hard buttons light up, but i get an infinite boot loop!
i can get into recovery, but i don't know how to get into fastboot.
I have already done a factory reset via recovery, but it keeps happening.
can anyone help me?
EDIT: also, since i cant get into the phone, i can't enable usb debugging to get to adb either... is there any way to force this or something?

Have you tried to wipe all phone-data and flash it with a rom?

Yeah, i've tried the flash all in recovery. i want the stock ROM though, do you have an update.zip for that? i'm pretty sure i can borrow a microSD card and put it on there.

So does it work with the rom you tried?
You can find the stock-rom on the huawei-device webpage if you haven't done a backup..

you should install perfect recovery, you can find it here on the ideos x5 development section and then wipe data and apply the rom you wan't, i think that should fix your phone

well, i'd want it to be as stock as possible, in case it needs to go to service once... but as for the stock rom, is that the kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo file on huaweis website? should i just rename that to update.zip and use it?
EDIT: i saw your edit now, when i have downloaded the right .zip file(in this case the norway retail one), i'm going to rename that to be update.zip and upgrade with it, am i right?
EDIT2: okay, i'm just going to follow the instructions in the zip folder one final question: how do i check my build number?

yes you can rename it, but it's not even necessary because you can choose the file (rom) you want to install later in perfect recovery. Or are you using something else then perfect recovery?
I have no idea about the instructions in the zip folder, because i haven't installed any stock roms on my phone, and can't understand what you need the build number for?
I suggest you to try to install that stock rom because you have nothing to lose and it's easy to wipe data again and try with other roms again..

Thanks! i downloaded the corresponding zip file for my carrier, unzipped, and just followed the instructions in the pdf file
The phone works great now! i am very happy now

This happened to me this morning!! Is there anyway to fix this in Recovery mode by mounting /system or something and rename the backup of the font back?
I don't want to delete everything off the phone! I have been customizing it for the past 2 or 3 weeks.. and was getting it exactly how I wanted it.. Don't want to do it all over again
EDIT: PHEW.. I fixed it. All you have to do is rename every font back to how it was originally (hope you have a backup) and set the permissions back to how they were originally CHMOD 644
If you need more help let me know, tell me which OS you have.. if you have Ubuntu / Linux I can help you.. no problem, as for windows.. I don't know

for windows the procedure is pretty much the same, i guess you used adb

That is what I love about ubuntu.. no I did not have to use adb. It automatically mounted the drives when I booted in recovery mode, then browsed system partition as root user (using natalius script.. or you can use a terminal) then set the permissions of the fonts to 644, make sure all the fonts are named exactly (CASE SENSITIVE).
Reboot and it will work.

In your custom recovery, did you wipe cache and under advanced, wipe dalvik cache, then go to mounts and storage, format data, cache, system. Then flash your new ROM and gapps (install .zip from sd card). Before you do this though, it's always a good idea to backup your stock or current ROM first. Also, for factory reset, NEVER, EVER do a factory reset from within the settings menu in the phone (after you're booted into the ROM). Always do this in your custom recovery.

Unofficial ROM install

Hello,
I've an Huawei u8800 and i think I will install an unofficial ROM. Now I have the last (Beta?) Huawei GB ROM and i will try the dzo ICS ROM..
I've never done it before. Could someone help with a step by step solution (I don't want to loose contacts or messages and other apps data. I have titanium backup but last time I've upgrade the official ROM I had problems restoring system data)
I am worried about IMEI and WiFi Mac address loss reported problems too ..
Thanks!

Check "Root, Install ClockworkMod + Remove Bundled Apps from Official 2.3.5 by That-guy" link in my signature. It has guide to install clockworkmod, which you will use to install roms.
The only way (I think) is to backup those infos with titanium. I do not recommend it, because it might cause force closes in ICS if you restore them. After making backups and putting ICS zip to sdcard, reboot to recovery. You do this by booting phone while holding volume +.
Choose backup & restore and backup in there. Then do factory reset and then go advanced -> wipe dalvik
After it choose: install zip from sdcard and choose zip from sdcard from there.
Now navigate to ICS .zip file and choose it. Now choose reboot to system. It should start loading ICS now.

Just one question: i'm with elite .32. Do i need to downgrade to froyo before the instalation of the official beta update?

This is a bit like topic hijack. You dont have to. It is recommended by huawei to do so, but im dont think it matters. If you have time and official 2.2 files somewhere, just do install it. It wont hurt.

It doesn't create a backup of imei. I have a link to full phone backup in my signature too. it requires a linux pc and unlocked bootloader. You can check is your unlocked by booting to pinkscreen and plugging the phone to pc. If pc can use phones memory, bootloader is unlocked. If it's not, there is a link (again) in my signature. Its called "[TUT] Get back our PINK screen!"

Huawei U8800 Aurora ROM Questions

Hi all!
This is my first post and I am new to rooting so I will not know as much advanced techniques/terms so please be patient.
I decided to root my phone to install a custom ROM (Thats what everyone wants, right?), more specifically to get a newer version of Android. I found the Aurora ROM by Dzo and I flashed 2.04 and it seems very fluid and fast. I didn't upgrade from the official 2.3 because I couldn't find the files. I'm really liking the ICS environment.
My first question is: How do I find/install a baseband? I want to use this as my daily ROM and I can't do much without signal.
Second, My battery indicator is not working and how do I fix this?
Thirdly, When I put the device to sleep for about 5 secs or more it will not wake up and reboots. Is this fixed with a later patch?
And lastly, What upgrade pattern should I use to get up to 5.0? (e.g. 2.04-2.5-2.6 etc or jump straight to a version and go from there)
Thanks in advance

First of All,you must install official gingerbread for install ICS.
Your problems (battery and baseband) are causing by old amss.bin (baseband) and old bootloader.
First,install official gingerbread with code name V100R001C00B518G001. If you install this version,you must not do root for install Aurora ICS.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lws54xxb3lcm7di
If you install it,You must install CWM 5.0.2.8 or CWM 5.0.2.7 or CWM 6.0.2.8 or CWM 5.5.0.4 or TWRP Recovery. My prefence is install CWM 6.0.2.8
Here is 6.0.2.8;
http://code.google.com/p/forumber-projects-for-u8800/downloads/detail?name=recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-2.6.35.7-u8800.img&can=2&q=
1.Download the recovery
2.Remove SD Card and delete dload folder in phone's internal memory (if exists).
3.Power on the device while pushing volume up and down buttons.
4.If the pink screen appears,connect the phone to PC and wait for detect the phone
5.Rename downloaded img file to recovery.img and copy it to image folder in mass storage in Pink Screen
6. Download latest Aurora 5.0 and update 20 and copy those files to your sd card.
7. Power On the phone while pressing volume up button.
8. Backup the system to your sd card
9. Do "Wipe data/factory set"
10.Install Aurora 5.0,then install update 20
11.Reboot the system. And that's it! Enjoy the ICS

Just one question, Do I install gingerbread without the device rooted? and do I have to wipe my phone?

You can install offical gingerbread on rooted ROM. You don't need to wipe because the system will do wipe automaticly

No. You do not have to wipe. But you can if you want.
To install official gingerbread, you can install it over a rooted or a non rooted device. It doesn't matter because when you install gingerbread. The device will automatically be un rooted. You would have to root your device again after installing official gingerbread.
The easiest way to root gingerbread is to use SuperOneClick. Here is a tutorial for rooting your gingerbread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
In the link above, just do the steps under 'Rooting the U8800 with SuperOneClick v2.3.3' and 'Installing ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 on your U8800'.
I hope I helped. Good Luck and have fun rooting!

When I try to flash the Gingerbread ROM, It says Installation aborted. Why is this?
I am using CWM 5.5.0.4

That's not right...

You do not flash official firmware with CWM.
You must extract the file that you have downloaded.
After extracting it, keep going into the extracted files until you find a folder called 'dload'.
Copy this dload folder to the root of sdcard.
Now, power on your phone by pressing and holding down the power + volume up + volume down buttons all together.
The phone will automatically start installing the official android 2.3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't understand anything then you are welcome to ask me about it. I will explain it to you.
Good Luck!
