I rooted my phone this morning and tried to install the latest Gingerbread using this guide: https://droidmodderx.wordpress.com/latest-build-gingerbread-2-3-3-4-5-588-with-root/
Of course, my phone for whatever reason restarted after installing the first zip. After restarting, I couldn't get back to recovery or reboot the phone. I tried performing a factory reset, but that won't work either.
Is the phone bricked?

You will have to SBF
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thank you, after SBFing my phone and charging, I was able to re-root and install Gingerbread. Thank you so much.
Okay ... I'm having the same issue ... installed GB ... booted the phone up goes through the Moto Logo and the "Droid" & Red Eye then the short vibrate ... then it goes back to the "Droid" & Red Eye and starts all over again ... every once in awhile I catch just a glimpse of the home screen before it cycles all over again and twice I've seen a forceclose screen for Swype ...
I've tried "Safe" Mode (holding the menu key while booting) ... that gets me nothing ...
I've tried to boot into recovery (holding "Home" Key until Triangle Exclaimation), but when I get the triangle and go to hit the "Search" key nothing happens ...
I can't get the phone to stop log enough to get RSD to recognize it so I can flash it ...
Unless it "works" itself out of whatever issue it has with Swype (based on the forceclose error) I can't think of any other way to get it to stop long enough to flash it ...
ANY help would be greatly appreciated ...
Thanks

SBF. To SBF, you need to enter the bootloader. Follow these instructions (they're a little ways down the post):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11118819&postcount=2
Don't forget to wipe data and cache AT LEAST THREE TIMES EACH whenever SBF'ing, or installing a new version of Android or a ROM.

I have flashed almost every rom since the first update to froyo when I got this phone. That's with a 30.01 bootloader. That being said, I never wiped data or cache more than once. I have never had a problem. Wiping multiple times is only necessary if you have problems with it not wiping all the way
Hello XDA-devs forums,
I'm having an issue since yesterday.
I have rooted my Huawei Ideos X5, and it ran fine for a day or so.
However, when my battery ran out it shut down into a completely blue screen.
When I tried booting it again, this just showed me a blue screen as well.
Now, I fixed this issue by connecting the phone to my PC after booting it with the Vol+ and Vol- pressed.
(So you get the pink/purple screen)
However, when I opened the phone on my PC, all I saw was a "239 MB" "empty" space, and it should have ~2GB..
I placed a backup copy I saved of my "image" folder in that 239 MB storage, and it booted.
However, today I hooked it up to my PC again to see if it magically changed..
And I couldn't access the 239 MB space anymore.
When I tried fixing the issue with a reboot of the phone, that just caused it to get stuck in a booting loop.
So now I'm stuck with a phone that keeps trying to boot itself,
and I can't access it on my windows PC.
I can, however, access 4 different folders of the phone on my linux notebook.
Now, my question is: can someone with a good understanding of problems like these please help me out?
I'm getting kind of fed up with it, as I've only got the phone for 2 days now.
Thank you in advance, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Have you tried removing the battery for 5 minutes and then putting it back in?
After this, what happens when you press VOL+ and Power?
How about if you press VOL+, VOL- and Power, without the USB cable?
Hello Katu, thank you for posting.
Regarding your questions:
Yes, I have tried to take out the battery for 5+ minutes- it didn't change anything to the situation unfortunately..
If I press VOL+ and Power at the same time, the device boots into recovery mode.
In this I have tried to format the device in order to reset it to factory defaults, but this did not help either.
When I press VOL+, VOL- and Power, the phone boots into the pink/purple screen.
Can you try a custom recovery and a custom rom? I want to see if your onboard flash is borked.

I had the same when my phone got f*ucked up. Put the image folder, than download official rom, like b138 and install it. then check your imei. There is a change that it will be 0.

Well, I used an original ROM:
U8800 V100R001C00B136(Overseas General version)
And that resulted in the boot.img being corrupted, so I can't even overwrite that anymore.
Also, this is what I see when I hit VOL+, VOL- and Power at the same time to boot into safe mode, and connect it to my PC.

I installed the official B136 rom, and after it rebooted, it would just hang on a black screen.
(it used to show the IDEOS or Android logo when it booted)
Hmm mine came with this Rom
U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01 ( general )
Looking at your name you're from the Netherlands ( so am I )
where did you get this 136 version from ?
I would try to put this one on it
You have to put the 'dload' folder into the root of your SD Card,
then boot into boot-loader, after that it'll automatically flash back to the stock Rom.
1 Format SD card
2 On the SD card, create "dload" folder
3 Put the unzipped Rom into "dload" folder
4 Then boot to bootloader (pink screen)
Yes, mine came with that version as well.
However, I couldn't find it anymore and thus downloaded the version I said earlier.
Also, I did everything as you described, except step 4.
You have to boot to recovery instead of bootloader. (VOL+ and Power)
Anyways, I managed to get ClockworkMod's recovery.img on my phone,
and from there on install a custom ROM on the phone, which magically got it working again - even though it didn't work earlier.
Thank you for reading my thread and taking the time to reply to it.
My issue has been resolved.
just for the record, flashing a stock rom is different from flashing a custom rom..
the 4 steps described by Gman2oo6 is the correct way to flash a stock rom (and it is written clearly in the document that is in the stock rom zip file)
[edit]
step (1) is not a necessary step though..
Yeah, I noticed that.
What I did was format my SDcard with FAT32,
and put a custom rom (update.zip) on the SDcard.
I then booted ClockworksMod Recovery and installed the custom rom from the SDcard.
When I tried installing the stock rom, I just followed the PDF file's instructions that came with the stock rom.
hey i udated to GB 2.3.4 (official)and i didnt like the it cuz the wifif ddnt work and the bluetooth also the DATA so itryed to downgrade to 2.2.2 original official and it did the 2/2 steps intalled and when it restarted it did not want to turn on all that happened was it vibrated and thats all so i left it on like that and when the battery died i plugged it in to the AC and the LED turned on red and the touch kkeys also but not the screen so i really NEED help!
Try to turn it on with lead connected but no battery and see if you can start it.
My battery also went dead flat this morning and I couldn't get it started at all till I tried this. Once I got it started the only thing I could do was quickly pop in the batery and let it charge. Just leave off the cover till you get it going.
I have to add that I did not have the problem of a failed update to deal with but it may at least get you started
i tryed it
nope nothin good happened all that happens is a blank screen with nothin on ,LED is off and the touch keys are off. it justz vibrates and when i put the battery it turn the LED on to red and the touch keys turn on but then like 5 min later the LED and keys turn off

Do u got any idea?
When i connect it to my laptop it says installing drivers .then its says sucesfully installed drivers ready to use. so then i got to Device Manger and i check what has been installed and their it said USB Human interface device and HID-compliant device WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
Not sure about the HID (human interface device) probably just the way windows sees the device for interfacing with it. With regards to the not booting I have read a lot of people saying that you need to factory reset and clear cache after the upgrade/downgrade. With the phone off, turn it on by long pressing volume+ and power on button till you get the blue recovery screen and from there you can reset factory/ data and also clear the cache. from what I see this should clear up the problem and start up. Please read this thread, it may help you somehow..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
Hope this helps a little
U mean Boot recovery and imma try it and thanks ill check it out

I was in the same situation tonight. I have the AT&T variant. I found the answer on droidforum(dot)net by member HARVESTERX:
"OK, so you're booting into fastboot and trying to ADB from there? Have you tied booting into recovery (since you said that you were able to successfully flash one)? I'm on the Verizon G2 so not too familiar if it's the same on your model, but to get into recovery I power on the phone by pressing and bring the power and volume - buttons at the same time. After seeing the LG logo I have to release both buttons and press and hold power and volume - once more which takes me into the factory reset mode. From here press the power button a few times as if I'm doing a factory reset and it loads up TWRP from there.
This has saved my ass once already because I wiped my internal storage mount by accident and deleted all my backups and ROMs, so I used a Windows XP computer (can't get any other version of Windows to recognize my device...well I know how but it involves more time than I have at the computer as it's not mine) and pushed a ROM over using ADB that way. It's been a few days so hopefully you've fixed the issue... "
This method put me into TWRP and I was able to RESTORE my phone to the backup I had done earlier this evening.
I hope this helps!

Hi All,
I tried to flash my phone with STOCK ROM by using RSD lite. I used an SBF file for this.
The status in RSD lite is showing as "Please manually boot up this device".
I have then unplugged the device and went into the bootloader by
pressing Power+Vol UP.Now I connected the device back to the PC and suddenly the RSD lite status shows as PASS but the mobile does not go past the Android boot screen.
I have tried using different SBF files but the result is same.
Has anyone face the same issue before or knows the solution to this problem??If so please share...
How long did you wait between appearing of the "Please manually boot up this device" message to booting?
I usually leave the phone for few minutes and it eventually reboots on it's own all the way to the stock, usable system and Android configuration wizard. I have never even tried to do this manually.
I waited for some 5 minutes and then searched on the internet if anybody else has faced the same problem...
The solution I found on the net was to disconnect the mobile from the USB port and connect it back again by entering into the bootloader mode.
Then the status on the RSD lite changed to PASS but phone is not getting through the boot logo of Android ...
Boot to stock recovery 3e. Press vol up + down at the same time. Clear cache and reboot. If still bootloop, enter stock recovery again, but this time do factory reset and reboot. Good luck!

+1. i've just done this yesterday and this is exactly what happened in my case as well. that is, just leave it as it for a few minutes and the phone will eventually rebooted itself to the system. that's when i unplug the usb cable.
Please help me. I have a Huawei Y625 (a bit more than a year old), it is NOT rooted. I have never attempted to customize it/tinker around with it. I don't even know the exact terminology so I'm sorry if I get something wrong.
Yesterday it suddenly went into a bootloop, it kept saying "DataBackupStart" with a bunch of processes failing.
I held volume down + power button, which opened a menu entirely in Chinese.
I clicked everything on that menu, but those were just some tests, like camera and sound test.
Then I powered it off, held volume down+volume up+power button this time, and it finally got me to recovery mode I think.
I wiped cache, and I wiped all data, which did a factory reset. It was OK with me because I just want it to work.
Then I tried to reboot it, but then it started behaving even worse. It will not turn on until I remove and put back the battery, and then it will vibrate, show the Huawei logo for a few seconds and then turn off again. It never got past that logo, except if I turn on recovery mode.
I found its official stock files, put the 'update.app' in the dload folder on sdcard, then tried to activate that rom in the recovery mode. It says 'error, status 7, installation aborted'. I googled it but I do not understand a thing, I really don't get these tutorials and I don't know what to do about that.
I tried downloading Marshmallow 6.0 version, because I thought maybe upgrading Android would help, but I cannot find any download links that work.
I am out of my mind, I need my phone and nothing I found on the Internet has been helpful. I don't even know how it came to this since I have never even attempted to root my phone! Please help me, thank you. :crying::crying::crying:
