[SOLVED]
I rooted this, installed clockworkmod, then went and got an cm7 dated april something 2012 u8160 rom from psyke83 website.
installed it through clockworkmod install from sd card option with success (also clicked option to backup everything).
yet when phone reboots it hangs on the blue arrow in a circle spinning around, sometimes reboots n repeats but it never goes past that.
I have tried going into recovery mode holding down volume buttons and power
and I get 1 of 2 errors:
with sd card in:
firmware update
step 1/2
unpacking
update failed
with sd card out:
purple screen.
I am a first time android modder, can someone please, please tell me how to fix this. I can access the sd card with a reader if need be to put whatever files on it that I should.
Thank you.
Start the phone by pressing volume up + power OR volume down + power. You should be able to boot to recovery with one of those combinations (other one boots to fastboot most probably). After that do the wipe data/cache and try to reboot once again.
What was wrong in the beginning was that you did not wipe data/cache. That made the CM use old OS's data files which obviously won't work.
The unpacking thing was caused by pressing volume up + volume down + power. That causes the phone to go to upgrade mode if there is an update package found.
Nope. still goes to the blue arrow circling then freezes then reboots....

You are right about me not wiping the data/cache though...
But in your phone forum, are there tutorials on how to boot to recovery? Do you have any other hard keys on the phone?
there is one other button but that didn't work either.
I cannot find a forum for Huawei model u8180 (

Hmm, would this work?
yay!!
it was volume up + power + cancel button (? maybe home button? not sure on what this button is but its the biggest).
wiped all data n cache n then it booted properly.
So the problem is solved? If you can, mark first post title with [SOLVED].

Sounds like you'll need to try to do a factory wipe from recovery and then flash a zip of the stock rom (which you'll need to copy to your SD card)
Did forget your own password or buy this one hot?

Probably not a good idea for him to answer that if it's the latter.

Did you try a full wipe of the tablet? Hold down the volume up key and the power button until the tablet vibrates. Release the power button while still holding the volume up key, and slide the screen lock button (next to the volume up key) to the right and then back to the left.
The screen should display 'Erasing Userdata', you can then release the volume key. It should then erase the cache, Acer says it can take 5-10 minutes to complete. The tablet should then reboot, and you may be able to get in from the stock settings.
If the tablets hangs at 'Erasing Cache' for more than 15 minutes, force a power down by holding in the power key. The try the power/volume/lock routine again.

What doesn't work exactly? Did you get an error during installation? Or was installation successful but the problem still exists?

hi, i have trouble booting into recovery. what i do is press "n" and power and it always goes to "Boot Menu" ... can someone tell me what that is and what it does ? ( i know i can boot into it by pressing power and selecting reboot and recovery just trying to find out how to from power-off) thanks.
I'm not the most knowledgeable one to answer this. I was waiting to see if someone else would post here.
But here goes. When I want boot into recovery when my nook is off, I power on holding down the n key. When the boot screen appears, I use the n key to toggle different options on the first line. I opt to boot from emmc. Then use the volume keys to move down to the next line and use the n key again to choose boot into recovery.
I don't remember the exact order of the lines, so I may be a little off, but I hope this helps get you booted into recovery from the boot screen

Thanks for trying to help. i was experiencing boot-loop i think.. ( i wasn't even able to turn my NC off at all. it just kept booting up and being stuck on the Cyanogenmod loading screen every time when i turn it off by holding down power), thats why i needed to boot into recovery from power-off. how it happened was i upgraded to cm9. i wiped cache and dalvik and formatted boot, system and data before flashing. ( i know some instruction here tells to do a wipe data/factory reset. i didnt do that ) I fix it and went back to cm7 by putting in a bootable sd with CWR in the two seconds that it stays off... but the strange thing was that once again i did it my way (wipe cache/dalvik and format boot, system, data) and this time it worked~ no boot-loop. now i wonder what really caused boot-loop the first time even when i had the bootable sd card in it didn't even boot into recovery itself i had to push "n" like crazy ... to get in ...

also if you have cwr on a bootable sd card you can use rom manager to flash cwr internally, so you wont need a bootable sd card, if you want to get into cwr just use rom manager and select reboot into recovery, i use to have cwr on my sd and didnt like it because you would have to take out the sd card everytime you boot, but this way is much easier, you can back up in rom manger instead of doing it the manual way...holding n and power button, hope this helps
Hi guys, i spent alot of time figuring out how to get CM9 on my phone and finally i got version 0.3.2 from http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cyanogenmod-9-atrix/ installed. After doing so in CWM i restarted my device and my phone gets stuck in the boot animation screen. Any Idea how to get out of here?
Flash again with no wipe. Should work.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
What do you mean no wipe?
Also I'm not sure how i can boot into CWM without clicking it from the app.
take battery out/in
restart phone, keeping volume down pressed in
keep on pressing volume down till you see android recovery
press volume up
wipe data
wipe cache
restart sytem and see if the phone boots up
if not repeat steps and install previolusly used? rom
Holding volume down just starts fastboot protocol for me. And hold up starts the RSD protocol.
EDIT: nvm i figured out how to get into recovery
Double EDIT: barry_ 's suggestion worked.
Hi, yesterday I flashed my phone with Cyanogenmod and all was working perfect, I had installed the clockworkmod recovery and I rebooted the phone and now all the time appears the clockwordmod recovery, I removed the battery, try in download mode but nothing happens and in the recovery mode I can't select nothing because the home button does the function of the volume -, it's strange, hope u can help me, regards.
Anyone know how I can fix it? is urgent, thanks.

Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
try solutions in My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
(Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.)
Dear XDA friends,
i always hoped not to be one of those guys, who f****d up their phones to the point of no return. I really screwed up this time. Well, here I'am writing you about my screw up.
I unlocked, rooted, flashed and repaired all kinds of android phones in the past years, never without problems, but I could always fix it somehow. Not so much this time.
Now I'm stuck at Bootscreen with the Zuk logo. I even have problems pinging the phone via ADB.
Sorry for my noobish question guys. Any help would be much appreciated.

I got this translated from a chinese website:
For fastboot mode:
The phone turned off; keep the connection turned off the data cable to the computer, press: [volume down key] [Power Key] waiting to enter the fastboot mode.
For recovery:
Turn off the device
Press and hold Power key
When vibrates Volume UP key + Volume Down key about 10 seconds
Release all key when Android logo appear then you will see Android System Recovery
Use Volume key to select Menu
Use Power key to Confirm
Can you enter any of these 2 modes?

Can y get to fastboot ?
im facing the same problem after i had the stupid idea to lock the bootloader again, before that i flashed the phone successfully with the cm mod recovery and cm 13.
Has anyone found a solution to this ? or do i have to send it back ?
What i did exactly :
I locked the bootloader again and just to test it i tried flashing the recovery again , ofcourse it didn't work which was what i wanted.
Afterwards i rebootet the bootloader with sudo fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot
now im stuck in a bootloop that i cant even stop , in other words i cant turn my phone off nor can i access the recovery or fastboot
Im feeling so stupid that i locked it again .... i will try to get into recovery after my phone ran out of battery but so far it looks quite bad...does anyone know if i will get a replacement even though it was my fault ? ( i don't need to say that it was my fault ..and the bootloader is now locked again )
UPDATE::
I found a promising thread about this problem, i will report back here if i was successful.

Please help , same problem
I am facing same issue too from 2 days. I didnt even try to flash custom roms or play with boot loader or recovery or anything. All of a sudden my phone entered boot loop. After two three bootloops phone is entering "12 apps optimized of 230 apps" mode, completing optimizing all apps and then failing to start apps, entering boot loop again.
Effort made so far to fix -
1) Went to recovery and cleared cache - didnt work
2) Went to recovery and did factory reset - factory reset did happen but boot loop didnt stop, I realized that factory reset happened because now its saying optimizing 120 apps instead of my 230 apps during the bootloop.
3) Went to recovery, Entered fast boot mode but not able to connect to PC. Fastboot devices is not showing anything. I made sure proper driver is installed after researching on XDA.
4) Went to recovery, Tried "Install update". Didnt install anything but browsed through folder structure and realized my data is intact
It will be great if someone can help me atleast recover my data before I handover phone to service center for fixing boot loop issue.
Same problem

Sorry For Re-posting Here. This is Solution
Why this is happening ?
Due to Dirty Flash from Zui or from COS/CMOD but suddenly Bootloader gets locked
May be Due to Some Custom Rom which only works with Old Bootloader ( And you are on latest 2.5 Zui QPST Flash)
Reasons are many. I also did same mistake. I flashed ZUI 2.5 using QPST then unlock bootloader using official site installed twrp after wiping cache system and data , Installed Lineage 0S JAN Build then without rebooting installed Lineage Nightly build (Latest) with Gapps After rebooting Phone goes into Restart endless loop on ZUK Logo. Blink and Vibrate .. After 1hr I figured it out but its 5am So slept.
HOW TO FIX ENDLESS REBOOT ON ZUK Logo ?
-> Identity vibrate patterns (Press Power Key I count 6- 7 Vibration pattern ) After long Vibrate immediately remove finger from power key.
->Once its Done (Phone completely off)
Download QPST and Official COS QPST from this Link https://goo.gl/InWQji OR https://goo.gl/iqrnlI (I am personally Very Thankful to D tech Terminal for posting Wonderful video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dl6JkAVpuM
<- please install all drivers and software.->) @ankurpandeyvns Thanks bro.
Main Task is here and Lots of Patience is required and You also need to be very Blazing fast to achieve this.
-Once you download and install Qpst open Qfil
-Now press Volume Up only and connect USB (Just press POWER KEY only for 1 sec It will vibrate and connect)
-Without waiting hit Download button.
-Voila It will start flashing your phone again and Hence Your phone is now Revive..
-Once Revive You can use it to again flash custom Rom or stick to stock Rom if you want.
Keep Flashing !!!
Patience is Key here. And Don't lose hope.
:good:
EDITED:
While connecting to pc and by pressing Volume key you also need to press Power key for 1 sec or 2 sec until it gets detected. Thanks addicted777 (for tip)
