This is my story.
At first i tried install any stock rom, but cant get them installed, cause with 2gb sd, i get always pink screen.
Then tried put /dload into inner card, root directory. Installed Estonia Elisa (stock) like charm. Updated to 2.3.5 also, everything ok. but when tried to get back unlocked pinkscreen vith this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490&page=6
then in my case, it just bootloop. Also as i remember, cant go to pink screen /image.
So installed ubuntu and there i can see partitions. Replaced recovery with newest, get all back. 2.3.5 (installed again), pink screen locked.
So i root phone as in tutorial, and replaced recovery into folder as writed in tutorial.
Then BAM! at first recovery screen (+ power) blue screen, and locked pink.
Then (+ power) stopped working. but pink still work.
But figured out how install firmware updates.
from inner card, no sd in slot - install (ofc. failes)but this method work.
with outer sd. SD in my case MUST BE 512mb only, so it will install. (failes in my case). with battery or usb cable - no effect
In linux cant see partition also and it shows just U8120 device instead of 8800
Totally messed up bootloader or partition. I dont know.
Thanks to my hero dancer_69 he somehow found that china page.
Downloaded http://filespart.com/dl/ds7ltr.html
putted into /dload that update what in archive. just only this file from zip.
and i got back unlocked pinkscreen. Replaced /image folder (jeah i had some backup)
Putted again 2.3.5 into outer sd card and installed as charm.
After that everything goes normal. As followed tutorial.
root, recovery, aurora.
After aurora was installed, i waited about 15 min and disconnected power.
after that factory reset and that it.
So if you cant install firmware update from sd card. Dont use 2gb or bigger. 512 works fine, instead of 2gb. or try differet cards.

Oxygen is .32 so it's upgrade if you install gingerbread.
Try to find B518 version of gingerbread because you don't need to root it. Just install CWM 5.5.0.4 and flash aurora ics.
So,
1. make folder "dload" to your external sdcard.
2. put update.app file in dload folder.
3. turn off phone and start it holding volume+ and volume- buttons and power button.
4. update should start
i have rooted ideos.
with - + power i get pink screen.
So i have B518 but its app, i dont know how o install it.
edit: or can u add me to msn: [email protected]
Edit: now i can only go to pink screen and just IDEOS screen, cant reach recovery .... deam, can someone help me ?

Does this process the sequence of keys, but with the data cable connected to the pc ... thus enters update screen instead of pink

So you're doing something wrong.
format the memory card into the PC again and put the folder inside dload ...
Then does it again as I said ... data cable connected to the pc ... vol +, vol- and power ... update has to get in that way!
ill try again after format.
using U8800V100R001C00B522G001 (Normal Gingerbread).zip

You must copy recovery.img (5.5.0.4) over default recovery.img on the pink screen through USB. Then you can boot in to recovery (volume up + power)

That doesn't give you recovery, that only restores unlocked bootloader for those who installed stock 2.3.5 higher than beta 1..
To install recovery, you must copy recovery.img v5.5.0.4 (it's in the dev section) over original recovery.img that's inside the "image" folder of the pink screen, using USB.
After that, start the phone pressing and keeping pressed vol + / power at the same time until recovery comes up.
i did it! tried also older ones, but nothing.

Please,Help me.
(sorry my bad English)
Downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2 is not possible for the time being if you don`t have a back up of previously used rom and we also don`t have a fully working recovery on 2.3 so we must wait for it.
I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 without problems twice. I put update.app from 2.2-zip in dload-folder of internal sdcard, poweroff, vol-down + vol-up + power until screen says unpacking. Let it finish then boot to recovery (vol-up + power), factory reset and format cache, clear dalvik cache if you can. Reflash update then your phone should boot normally with stock 2.2

You just need 2.2 boot partition stuff. There might be already links in that thread, or I can send them tomorrow, not on my comp now.

Vol up + Vol down + power should get you in the pink screen (bootloader). Then if you connect it via USB, all the partitions are mounted on PC.
edit: do you have the update stuff on the sd? Ofcourse Then I think the only way is an external sd to get to the pink screen.

You need an external sd without update stuff, then vol down + Vol up + power. In the pink screen you can for example try to copy the update.app again etc etc

thanks for answers now i can enter pink screen.what can i do after this?
Try this:
Download this file and extract the contents.
When in pink screen mode, connect your phone to your computer.
Copy the 4 files from the downloaded zip to a folder named "image" on your phone (folder should already be there, ).
Pull battery on phone, reinsert the battery and try booting to recovery (vol-up + power).
hI, how can I access my internal sdcard if I cant install none of recoverys avaliable, even with Image folder all from 2.2, none. Im stuck. Update from ext sd card dont work it failed. I need to put dload folder in internal sd. please help... =(

The internal SD is mounted on the PC in the pink screen (vol down + vol up + power). To get to the pink screen put an external SD without dload folder.

The files in that link are the original ones from 2.2 folder image?

Yeah that's the boot partition, but it should also mount the internal SD. I haven't tested in Windows, but the internal SD is also FAT32 I think, so it should mount.
Anyway in Linux with the pink screen I see the phone's whole internal flash (14 partitions).. partition 14 is the internal SD.
yeah but in windows it shows only this... I'm screwed

Well, you could boot Ubuntu Live CD from USB-stick / CD to get it working.
thanks a lot, worked like a charm. I was able to install 2.2 b136.
what do you recommend to install miui? I tried so many ways. lol

Restoring pre/post beta1 v2 backups is a bit tricky. I personally just installed a clean cm7 from geno's zip. Now I'm trying to get CM7 to work without the need to downgrade to 2.2 first, with the new 5.0.2.7 recovery from geno (the thread title says U8800pro, but it works for also u8800).
Edit: so in conclusion, you should get miui working fine by using a recovery that works, and then installing miui from the original zip, not from your own backup. You also need to downgrade to 2.2, but you're running 2.2 now already?
hi 2 all
I want to brief how made brick my tab step by step
first of all i had an Acer_A500_4.010.43_COM_GEN1 3.1 stock rom on my tab that i upgrade it to 3.2 Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN1 by tablet then i decided to root my tablet for installation custom rom and i downgrade to 3.01 rom by this typic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227 method 1 i reverted successfully and after rooting i installed and tested this 3 roms (taboonay 2.2-thor 14.2&light speed 1.07) but each one had some problems like google map or gps or rotation screen so i installed a 3.1hc stock rom Acer_A500_4.010.41_COM_GEN1 and rooted that worked good but i had mistake and i forget erase update.zip file from my sd card

the chinese rom and checksum error are supposed to happen.
the chines rom is an old unstable version but is provided so we can root it to install cwm and flash a working rom.
after the checksum error you needed to power off and then using the buttons enter recovery mode and go to 'Fix checksum error' in advanced menu - after that reboot.
you should do the following:
a)go back and read the entire post on what to do because you missed the last part
or
b)try the backdoor method
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------
just read your entire post again...there's alot going on there isnt there?
have you tried flashing the update.zip again with 3.0.1 on it...get back to the chinese rom, from there install iconia root and root it. Then install cwm and you should be all good - if that doesnt work then use timmyDeans backdoor method it does it for you, all you need to do is install acer recovery installer to install cwm, backup the original stock recovery when the app asks you, you will need it to OTA Update successfully...

V3 which I pointed you to is STOCK 3.2.1 with root. Once you get there you will be stable. If you want CWM then you will have to install it. It is NOT in the flash because the flash is stock ONLY with root. But since you have root, you can install CWM.
The serial number does NOT need to be saved in any file. Just follow the instructions.

You have a "volume" switch on top of your tab (long silver switch on left side)
You control volume from this. Vol+ make sound go up (the right side of it)
Press it on the left side, and volume goes quiet (vol-)
So, as he said, with the tablet OFF, hold the VOL+ side of the button, then select PWR (power)
You have 2 recovery modes.
1. CWM Recovery (vol- & Pwr) (after you have root and cwm installed)
2. Stock Acer recovery (vol+ & Pwr)
Step number 2 with the stock acer recovery, should install the stock rom you copied to your sd like TimmyDean said earlier.

Please rewrite what you are trying to do. I have no idea what you are talking about?
Are you asking about stock recovery and flashing form a SD Card? If so, copy update.zip to your SD card and then run recovery. If you have CWM, then use it to select the update from the SD Card.
It's not clearly as to exactly what you have loaded and what you are trying to do?
LASTLY: You cannot take a backup from CWM and have the stock recovery install it. Stock recovery will only install update.zip which must be signed by ACER.

Restoring of brick Huawei U8800.
All do at your own risk! I am not responsible for your machines!
Today I was able to magically (just wonderful, because it found the time at which there is a chance to run the update) to recovery from a brick Huawei U8800 (corrupted bootloader + recovery not run + in a pink screen not mounted hard drive + when trying to update the written Update failed! I spoke to a service center, they said the warranty is not the case and we must change the motherboard (the cost of 3-4 million BYR, new at the MTS salon cost 2.9 million BYR )
What and how I did:
1) To restore I'am using the firmware B162 Android.
2) Format the micro SD card that was clean (I was 8 gb, 2 class and be sure to FAT 32) and unpack "dload" folder and ".txt" file(with a strange name) from the downloaded archive to sdcard.
P.S. I say that not all flash drives can operate restore, I have like three went, normally only one.
3) Insert the micro SD into the phone and pull out the battery.
4) Hold down the Volume (+) and power up, hold and connect the phone via cable to your PC, your phone will be switched on and the logo appear, then turned off my phone (missing logo). So, when the logo will disappear (ie the phone will turn off) and immediately hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and power up.Main that the updating process can start only one time after the logo was gone, if after a few times in a row press both the volume keys and power up, updating does not start, it is necessary to re-clamp the volume (+) and the power up, after the disappearance of the logo, both the volume and the power up of ... I have to go to the upgrade process if you wrote "Update failed!", try again (I went with 2 times).
5) After a successful update, the phone will reboot, on reboot he should loaded the standard blue recovery.
6) Turn off the phone from the computer, insert the battery, hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and turn on, wait until you get a pink screen, release the button and connect it to your computer. You should see a new device and to define a disk drive with a folder "image". If we define - rejoice!) If not, then you need to install the driver on the internet enough to the driver, as well as the wood in my going to the Android SDK, not sure ...
7) Thus, we can assume the phone repaired) Download recovery 4.0.0.5 and unpack the archive and copy the file "recovery.img" to a folder "image" with the replacement. A man does not 4.0.0.5 recovery loaded, it is strange, but recovery 5.0.2.7 normally loaded
8.) Disconnect the phone from the computer, pull out / insert the battery and try to enter the recovery (volume (+) and power up).
9) If set, then everything is OK and can now be sewing. I still put 2.2 Geno v8.4 + software package from Google, but I recommend again read all instructions on the firmware, to avoid problems!
Good luck, hope that helped someone, he sat on the forums more than one day, but have not found a solution.
If someone has turned out, a sign of gratitude you can throw money on my phone +375297176005 (MTS, Belarus), would be very grateful
P.S.
Instructions is my and it's my first, that do not copy and paste, you can search the Internet. Do not judge strictly, if something is not designed ...
If there are people who helped, I think you can throw his hat in the description. My message is also present in our 4pda.
Hope springs eternal
Sorry for my english, I'm from Belarus and bad know it

Hello, I have a problem after changing recovery.img. Now after power on only error message: Image signature verify fail. Your boot/recovery image may have an incorrect signature. Please update your image to a signature official one. You can remove battery for power down.

Just thought I would mention it, if you connect the pink screen to Ubuntu/Linux, it will most likely mount.
Just tried this recovery method on a bricked U8800. Didn't do anything at all. Must admit that it was bricked in a way that i didn't see anything at all on the screen. Neither did i notice anything in dmesg on a linux machine.
Help
Hello.my huawei u8800pro v.2.3.5 brick after install official ice cream sandwich.I followed the procedure and now I have a new removable but I can't go to recovery mode!!can I install a new rom?
I can't enter the cwm, tried to install oxygen 2.2.2 from original 2.3.5. I can't enter the pink screen + I can't enter the firmware update (to the stock 2.3.5, it says that the update failed). On a normal boot up, it resets 1 time then it enters Android system recovery <3e>, it forcefully formattes the /cache, failes to mount /data_pseudo etc. Any ideas ?

I can enter the pink screen, but when i plug it with the usb into my computer, it doesnt detect it. Doesn't mather which ROM I try to install under the 3e system recovery, it always says, that the update package is not correct, does this mean, that i need a oxygen 2.2.2. update because I installed it over stock 2.3.5 ?
http://shrani.si/f/a/as/1vzznaBj/dscn2184.jpg
When it says : Finding update package... , I tried to install a ROM.
You have a locked bootloader from b52* and that's why you can't see your drive in pink screen.
Did you try to install froyo like i said? It might work. If it won't uhmm...

I did try it already (the old http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149150&highlight=oxygen), among with all the other ROM's on xda for u8800. I don't really know what to do :crying:

I'm not sure we are on the same page...
I didn't ask you to install oxygen, i was talking about the stock froyo; Huawei's original firmware?
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1352963/U8800V100R001C00B138SP04CUSTESTC205D001EsthoniaElisa.rar
this is b138 (froyo 2.2.2).
Extract the files, put update.app into a dload folder and paste it into your sdcard's main folder i mean it's gonna be /dload/update.app
Power off. Press both volume keys and power on. Wait for the update process to finish. Once rebooted it may give errors, don't worry.
Power off your phone, press power on + vol + button simultaniously and go into recovery. And then wipe data/cache. Reboot.
If that doesn't work, send your phone to warranty.

I did everything you said, but it always stops at the firmware update. It always fails to update at the end. I'll keep trying this method because I'm optimistic that it will work.
Tried to install almost all of the firmwares, non worked till now. It always says "Update failed" at 99% .
I somehow managed to get my pc to recognize my phone when in pink screen, it contains one folder; image.
In it, there are: amss.mbn, AMSS.rar, boot, cust and recovery.img, EMMCBOOT.rar, EMMCBOOT.MBN, total size=118 mb.
I once tried to use geno's partition resize, and after a reboot, it cannot boot into system anymore. Stuck at the huawei logo.
Since I'm quite familiar with linux, I tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971266
However, my linux installation didn't show any drives when it's in pink screen mode, so I'm pretty much stuck here.
In Windows 8 it did show two HUAWEI Technologies device (no drivers though) in pink screen mode.
I can't access recovery mode either, holding power + vol up only does normal boot for some strange reason. Anyone can help me out here?

try put official GB dload file on sd card, then put sd card in phone press power up+power down+power...
maybe it'll help you.
I tried that too, and it still bootloops. Not much luck.
Go to recovery and wipe everything. Then, reboot recovery, and then try partitioning again.
I can't get into recovery by pressing power + vol up. It just does normal boot (which bootloops).
If there would be any other way to get into recovery (such as via ADB or update.app) would be highly appreciated.

Yes, you can boot into recovery via adb:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But, you cannot use that until your phone is booted up.
If that doesn't work, you can follow these instructions to hard reset your phone:
http://www.hard-reset.com/huawei-u8800-ideos-x5-hard-reset.html
Good Luck.
I can't get it to do the hard reset either. It just boots normally, aside from the bootloop.
I believe I need to fix the partition first before I try to reinstall stock. I hear that stock doesn't work with custom partitions. Which is why I'd prefer to at least get some access to the device via USB in order to fix it.
Ah well. It's a failing device anyway. Even before the brick the camera doesn't work anymore, regardless of which ROM I choose. Maybe it's time to move on for me.

Well, I tried this too (in fact I stated it in the first post) but pink screen mode isn't showing any device (I typed in "dmesg" in the Linux Terminal, none is found).
I appreciate your help, though. If I can solve the detection problem, I should be able to recover my phone using this method. I'd be happy to share some logs if it helps.
I got your back buddy

Hey, this is my first post well here it goes
Step 1 :- Format the sd card and put dload folder in it ( you'll get it from the official rom zip file)
Step 2 :- press and hold vol+ & vol- and then power button, it'll start upgrading
Step 3 :- now here is the tricky part!!! i was stuck here too and gone half mad well, let it reboot it will format cache etc and then bootloops, now turn off the device and then turn on pressing vol+ and power button, or u can try by pressing home, vol+ and power button, u'll b in recovery mode i.e in official rom builtin i guess.
Step 4 :- once in recovery, select reset factory default and clear partition cache, and then reboot!!!! Voila u will b able to finally boot successfully...
Now listen very carefully, u got only one chance here, cause if u reboot ur device again then bootloops will start again so in the first go, root the device by superoneclick and then install recovery i guess u knw all that and then u will be able to return to stock rom by flashing... once u've installed CWM then u r good to go bootloop wont effect ya SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH THOUGH
