Problem with my X5 u8800-51 -> reboot looping - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hi people, I have a problem with my phone, I tried to flash it with MIUI 1.12.16 and it seems that something doesn't works because my X5 is rebooting all the time. I follow this tutorial in spanish (http://www.mobilecloseup.com/foro/showthread.php?t=949447) but I will translate it here:
1. First of all download this *.rar http://www.wupload.com/file/2650874587/U8800-51_a_Gingerbread-MIUI.rar which contains 5 folders: dload, MIUI 1.12.16 Multi lenguaje (multilanguage), Recovery Alternativo (CWM 5.0.2.7) [or alternative Recovery], Recovery Original (2.2) and Root para Gingerbread.
2. Format SD card and backup everything.
3. Copy to SD card the "dload" folder and the MIUI zip file which is into the "MIUI 1.12.16 Multi lenguaje" folder of *.rar.
4. Turn off the phone, then push at the same time the two buttons of volume and the on/off button to enter to bootloader mode (pink screen).
5. Inside the new disk unit opened in Windows, copy recovery.img file which is into "Recovery Original (2.2)" of the *.rar into the image folder, just in case if you change original recovery in replace of the clockworkmod one.
6. Extract safely disk unit, take off battery, put again into phone and turn on.
7. Then go to settings, SD & Storage and choose SD update, then accept everything and phone will flash the update to Gingerbread, will reboot during some time and after 5-10 minutos will reboot for the last time.
8. Now you have your phone with Gingerbread 2.3.5 stock, but the aim is to flash MIUI, so the next step is to go to Settings, then Applications and disable quick boot option.
(everything OK until this step... problems started since this point)
9. Erase dload folder from SD card and turn off the phone.
10. Push two volume buttons + on/off button at the same time again to enter to bootlander, then open image folder into the new disk unit and copy to a safe place the boot.img file to backup it, then copy the boot-room.img file which is into the "Root para Gingerbread" folder of *.rar to the image folder and rename it to boot.img, then extract device, take off battery, put again into phone and turn on as usual.
11. You will realize that your phone will be rooted. Now turn off again and do the same procedure but copying into image folder the boot.img file that you backed, also backup the recovery.img file which is into image folder and replace it with recovery.img file which is into "Recovery alternativo" folder of *.rar.
12. Reboot your phone and then turn it off, then push at the same time volume on button + on/off button to access recovery.
13. Just optional: You can backup ROM Stock in Backup option.
14. Choose Wipe Data & Factory Settings, then Mounts & Storage and select format /system.
15. Choose flash zip from sdcard and select from SD Card MIUI *.zip folder that you copied at the very first step.
16. Tap yes and MIUI will be flashed.
I attached some screenshots of what I have in my image folder from bootlander. This is the problem. As I said, my phone is rebooting all the time since I turned on and there is nothing that I can do I finished at the 16th step, please I need your help. If you need more info please ask here, I don't know if I can show you more details because I cannot turn on my phone.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] help flashing original wildfire rom

hi i am getting really frustrated. I'm trying to go back to my original wildfire rom i don't care if its not the telstra original i just need any original. i currently have cyanogenmod7.03 that i installed myself. how do i install the original rom i have booted into that special mode via holding volume down and power down. and i have downloaded some original roms from shippedroms.com and put them on my microsd on my wildfire. help would be appreciated greatly, i have read other threads regarding this but i don't know what to do. i have rooted my phone also.
RUU's from Shipped ROM's are EXE Files. Connect your Wildfire to your PC. and run the EXE File. That's it.
You will lose root though, if you flash an RUU.
Alternately, you can flash this ROM as well. It's stock 2,2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Short Guide for the second method:
- Download the ROM I listed above, and this attachment called update1.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Place both files on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery ("Special Mode" - As you say)
- Once in CWM (Clockworkmod), Select "Install Zip from SDCard")
- Then, select the update1.zip file you placed in Step 1
- Clockworkmod Recovery will reboot, and will start in v2.5.0.7, characterized by Green text
- Here, now select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, again select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- This time, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM.

ok ill have to try the second method because i have an iMac not a pc, and i was browsing through the clockworkmod recovery mode earlier on.
can i use the telstra rom i downloaded from specialroms.com instead of the one you linked me? then follow the second method?
i can't choose update.zip from install zip from sd card because its not a zip, when i click on it, it opens up with three more folders of meta inf, res and sbin. what should i do?
Don't select the option choose update.zip.
First, restart your phone in Clockworkmod:
- Then, select "INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD"
- Here, select an option "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD"
This will open a tree structure on your sdcard to browse, then select the required Zip file.
I cannot comment on your specialroms.com ROM, because I haven't seen it at all. I have no idea what sort of a ROM you are talking about.
=====================================
Alternately, if you are ok with flashing an RUU, you can extract the ROM.zip from the EXE RUU on a Linux/Mac device using OpenRUU here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711296
Once you get the ROM.zip from the Telstra EXE RUU, then
- Rename the ROM.zip file to PC49IMG.zip
- Place on your sDCard
- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. (ie - Select Volume down + power. Don't select anything after this). The bootloader will detect the ROM file and attempt to install it automatically.
i just converted the update folder to a zip file on my computer maybe this will work.

No, I don't. Unless you clarify a lot more on what you did, and what problem you are facing, I will most certainly not be able to infer what you mean. The first zip you flash (update1.zip) is supposed to be like that. You should see Clockworkmod with Green Text, and v2.5.0.7 written below. If you see that, the first part is successful.

i am following the second method. so i choose update1.zip from install zip from sdcard. i select yes install update and it loads for like the briefest of seconds. then it goes back to the clockwork mod menu again. my clockwork mod is v2.5.0.1 but i have green writing. is the update1.zip installation supposed to take half a second because thats how long it loaded for me.

Yes, it is supposed to take just half a second. It will only give you Clockworkmod v2.5.0.7. It's the sole purpose of update1.zip.
But, since you have Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 (I wish I had known this earlier - I assumed you S-OFF'ed using Revolutionary and had the new version with orange text), you can skip a lot of steps.
Now, just simply follow these. (It's a re-written second method, if you will)
- Download the the Safe Flash ROM Zip file only. You don't need update1.zip
- Place the file on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery
- Now, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- Then, select "Choose Zip from SDCard"
- Now, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM when rebooting is done

What I write in my last post should definitely work. If it doesn't, let me know of the issue you face. I'll try and sort it.

ok. followed the instructions exactly i selected safe buzz froyo.zip and it loaded for about 1second as if it was installing. then the clockwork mod menu appeared again and i rebooted the phone. but it loaded as cyanogen 7 so it didn't work. how long is it supposed to take to install? 1 second? do i need to do something to my microsd card? like make it a gold card or something? I've heard that word before.
No, you don't need a Goldcard for flashing the Safe Flash ROM. (You would have needed one only if you followed the RUU method).
ROM install should take a lot more time than 1 second. Also, it is surprising how Cyanogenmod 7 is loading. Did you not perform a 'Wipe Data' in Clockcowkrmod, as I have stated?
Also, check your ROM file size, make sure the file size matches, and see if you can catch the error message that comes on Clockworkmod when it reboots after 1 second when installing the ROM.

the rom file size is about 120mb. i did perform a wipe data before i attempted to install the rom. yes i will try and see what message comes on the screen in that one second of the rom loading. the phone doesn't reboot after i press install rom, it goes back to the clockwork menu then i hit reboot. i will try again.

Make sure you back up, before you flash anything!

[Q] first time root and flash

ok so there are so meny threads and videos around about rooting and flashing a new rom, my proplem is that i am not an expert, they all give different info,programs to use ect... im a little nervous that i might use the wrong program or miss something and wind up with a brick...
i am using an acer a501 running android v 3.2
so if i understand correctly i need to.....
1.revert back to andriod 3.0.1 (not sure how yet)
2. download iconiaroot1.3, unzip, copy it to sd card (settings set to allow unknown and debug on)
3.install iconiaroot on tablet
4. open and run iconiaroot
5. now rooted
im i correct? did i miss something?
ok assuming all that is correct can i now flash a custom rom?
if so is the process similar? install rom onto sd card and install?
Correct. Just one step more
6. Before installing custom ROM you will need to install Acer Recovery Installer and flash custom recovery.
Root A501
Download a file manager if you don't already have once such as astro file manager or es file explorer. Also download Acer Recovery. Download both of these from the market.
Step 1. To downgrade to 3.0.1 to be able to root first thing you want to do is download this file here
http://depositfiles.com/files/64bo1ivat
Step 2. Once downloaded it copy the update.zip file into the root file of your sd card. the root folder on the sd card is in the tablets internal memory not an external sd card.
Step3. Turn off the tablet and once turned off press and hold the power button and volume down button. Don't release until you see the green andriod with the gears moving.
Step 4. Once tablet has booted back up check to see which version the tablet is running. To Check go to settings....about tablet...and underneath android version make sure the tablet is running 3.0.1
Step 5. If the tablet is running 3.0.1 then download this file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138228
This is a link to a xda thread that has iconiaroot-1.3.apk.
Step 6. Download iconiaroot-1.3.apk
Step 7. Before opening iconiaroot make sure in settings....applications that unknown sournces is checked then click development and make sure usb debugging is checked.
Step 8. Now open iconia root and hit root.
Step 9. Run acer recovery
Step 10. Select clockworkmod recovery and instal recovery image.
Step 11. Click this link
http://depositfiles.com/files/vwaavz1pa and download TLSS_A501_3.2_Little_Honey.zip
Step 12. Once downloaded you will have 1 zip file. Rename it update.zip and transfer it do the tablets sd card.
Step 13. Turn the tablet off. Then press power and volume down to run cwm.
Step 14. Once at cwm screen use the volume buttons to go up and down. go down and instal from sd card and hit power to select it. Then select apply sdcard/update.zip then select yes and it will instal
Step 15. Once update is done go back and click reboot system now
Step 16 Go to settings about tablet and double check your updated.
Step 17. Have Fun!!!!
Hey I am trying to root my acer, and ive followed all of these directions up until step 11.. The honey.zip file tht is provided isnt installing. Ive tried installing from the internal sd and the external sd with no luck, I think the file itself may be corrupt. Do I NEED to do this update before I can flash a custom rom?
It looks that Honey.zip IS a custom ROM (don't know for sure).
You're rebooting into recovery and trying to install from sdcard?
Are you receiving any errors? What exactly is happening?
Don't bother renaming to update.zip.... Just select "Install zip from sd card" in CWM...
And no, you can use ANY custom rom at that point...
Remember to wipe all data before flashing
cache - dalvik- battery stats -flexrom etc. etc.
Obviously, you should backup your data previously and then you can restore them

How to dual boot: ONLY FOR GALAXY S2
Warning: This procedure doesn't really work anymore. It only works with Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and Siyah Kernel v 5.0.1. Later versions of either won't work. Consider this guide archived, and use it at your own risk.
If you want to test B2G from time to time but continue using Android as your main OS and you have a Samsung Galaxy S2, you can choose to install B2G in a separate partition (which is already present on the phone) and choose where to boot into when your device starts.
Prerequisites
In order to dual boot Android and B2G, you have to meet these prerequisites:
You have to have built B2G for the Galaxy S2
You have to download the Siyah kernel v. 5.0.1 for the Galaxy S2
You need the tool simg2img, that you get automatically if you build B2G following the guide on MDN
You need the heimdall tool, best if version 1.3.1 as you may encounter problems with version 1.3.2
One-time operations
There are several operations to do in order to get a working dual boot. The following ones need to be done the first time only.
In order to use heimdall without requiring root access, you should create a file called android.rules (the portion of the name before the .rules extension is arbitrary) and place it in /etc/udev/rules.d. The file should contain a line line the following:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
In order to activate this rule, you should restart udev:
Code:
sudo service udev restart
and then unplug and replug in the phone. The above rule will also allow adb to access the SGS2 without requiring root privlidges.
Flashing the Siyah kernel
The Siyah kernel is mandatory for the dual boot, because it is this kernel that manages it. Once you have downloaded and decompressed the tar file, you'll be left with a file named zImage. In order to flash it on your phone you have to follow these steps:
Switch off your phone
Reboot in download mode (press together volume down + home + power buttons and then, when asked, volume up button)
Use heimdall to flash the kernel with the following command (your phone needs to be connected to your PC):
heimdall flash --kernel /path/to/zImage
Once the kernel is flashed the phone will reboot.
Preparing the B2G rom environment
Once you've installed the Siyah kernel, it's time to use its functions to prepare the environment to install your B2G image in the secondary partition. Follow these steps:
Switch off your phone
Reboot in recovery mode (press together volume up + home + power buttons)
In the CWMR Touch interface, go to dual-boot options -> Wipe 2ndROM data/cache -> Yes - Wipe. This operation will take some time
Once the operation is finished, select Go Back and then reboot system now to reboot your phone. If you check, inside the internal SD card of your phone you'll now have a .secondrom directory with inside two files named cache.img and data.img.
B2G update operations
The following operations need to be done every time you build a new version of B2G.
In order to simplify command line instructions, it's advised to copy all needed files in a same folder of your choice. These are the files that need to be copied inside the folder:
Code:
simg2img, found in B2G/out/target/product/galaxys2/system/bin/
system.img, found in B2G/out/target/product/galaxys2/
userdata.img, found in B2G/out/target/product/galaxys2/
Once you have all the files in one place, do the following:
Create a data.img file out of the sparse file userdata.img. You can do it with the following command:
Code:
simg2img userdata.img data.img
Put the data.img file on your phone's .secondrom folder. You can do this either by enabling file storage mode on your phone and connecting it to your PC or, if you have USB Debug active, you can use adb:
adb push /path/to/data.img /sdcard/.secondrom/data.img
Switch off your phone
Reboot in download mode (press together volume down + home + power buttons and then, when asked, volume up button)
Use heimdall to flash B2G firmware inside the second partition:
heimdall flash --hidden system.img
Once the flash is finished, your phone will reboot and at boot time you can boot into your second rom (the B2G one) by pressing the home button during the bootloader countdown. If everything has gone right, once you've finished booting B2G you'll have a black screen on your phone. You now have to install Gaia.
Note: Depending on how you want to test B2G, you may not want to put a new data.img file on the phone every time you update B2G, as it will wipe all of your preferences, installed applications and in general pretty much everything you've done while using B2G.
Boot operations
The following operations need to be done every time you boot inside B2G.
Unfortunately, there's no simple way to put Gaia inside the system.img B2G image, and it get lost when you switch off your phone, so you'll need to install Gaia again every time you boot inside B2G. To install Gaia, type the following on a console after you've booted your phone inside B2G (so you have a black screen) and have connected your phone to your PC:
cd B2G/gaia
GAIA_DOMAIN=foo.org make install-gaia
After the upload of Gaia is completed, on your phone's screen the B2G interface will appear.

[GUIDE] How to flash Android on the HTC HD2 (LEO) with MAGLDR for Noobs

Introduction
Hey guys, I recently flashed Android 4.0.4 on the SDCard of my HTC HD2 to revive it from the dead and it worked! Although, when I was working on it, it wasn't necessarily easy and the ressources were incredibly hard to find. So I am sharing this handy guide here to make it easier for any begginers that want to bring their HTC HD2 back from the dead. Since I am also a beginner there could be mistakes or complicated sections in my guide which I would be very glad if they get pointed out below in the comments!
Happy Flashing!
Dan6erbond
NOTE: Flashing Android to the internal storage (NAND Flash) is easier and runs smoother. The HTC HD2 unfortunately only has 512 MB of internal storage which makes it almost a must to do a NativeSD Flash if you are interested in installing apps on it. If you are going for the NativeSD Flash, make sure your SDCard is at least a class 6 for a usable experience and has a capacity of >= 8 GB. I recommend using a Version of Android older than 4.0.4 to get the smoothest experience.
Steps
Unlock Bootloader with HardSPL4
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Turn off any Anti-Virus Software in case your Anti-Virus Software blocks any of the programs you try to run or files you try to download.
2. Download the HardSPL4 Package and save it in an empty folder you've prepared for all the files you will need.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run HSPL4.exe
6. Read everything and click next.
NOTE: If you plan to use MAGLDR, make sure to select HSPL2.08 in the HSPL4.exe program.
7. Once the phone has rebooted you can turn it off for now.
8. Done!
Install the latest Radio
You need to install the latest Radio on your HTC HD2 to ensure that all your communication devices such as bluetooth and WiFi will work afterwards.
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Download the latest Radio available for your device (currently 2.15.50.14).
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run CustomRUU.exe from your Radio Folder.
6. Read all the instructions and click next.
7. You will see an Update button, click on it.
8. Wait till your phone reboots.
9. Done!
Flash MAGLDR to the Device
1. Download MAGLDR 1.13 to that folder created earlier.
2. Load into the Bootloader just like you did earlier.
3. Extract the contents of the MAGLDR ZIP folder and launch the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Make sure you are logged in as Administrator or launch the App as Administrator.
4. Tick the box labeled confirm and click next.
5. Repeat step 4.
6. Select update.
7. Verify the image being flashed say 2.00.000.0 and select next.
8. Read the process list and select next.
9. Once the process is done your phone will reboot.
10. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to the internal storage (NAND Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. 4GB should be enough for most Android ROMs.
1. Download any Android ROM you wish to install on the HTC HD2. Make sure that it's compatible with your device. In this case I am using the Android 4.0.4 ROM by tytung which runs excellent on the internal storage as well as of an SDCard.
2. Copy the downloaded ZIP folder to your SDCard.
3. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
4. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option AD Recovery and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
5. Navigate to Update from SDCard and select it.
6. Select select ZIP file from SDCard and select the ZIP file that contains the ROM.
7. Select YES...
8. Your phone will now install the ROM and ask if you would like to Reboot. Select Yes and your phone will boot Android after showing a menu in which you do not have to do anything. The first boot might take a little longer.
9. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to an SDCard (NativeSD Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. I recommend at least 8GB Class 6 or higher SDCard for most Android ROMs to run smoothly and properly.
Install 4EXT Recovery
NOTE2: You might need to install the 4EXT Recovery on your device. Please comment below if you needed to but here is how it goes:
1. Download 4EXT Recovery and copy the ZIP file to an SDCard.
2. Insert the SDCard into your device and launch the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
3. Select Services.
4. Select Boot Settings.
5. Select AD SD Dir.
6. Select the ZIP file you just copied to the SDCard.
7. Go back to the MAGLDR Boot Menu and select Boot AD SD.
8. Done!
Install the Android ROM to the SDCard
1. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
2. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option Services and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
3. Select Boot Settings.
4. Select Boot Source.
5. Select Android from SD.
6. Navigate back to MAGLDR Boot Menu.
7. Select Boot AD Recovery.
8. Select advanced.
9. Select Partition SDCard.
10. Select remove all partitions and start from start.
11. Set the size of the EXT partition to the largest possible.
12. Set the size of the SWAP partition to 0MB.
13. Select Yes - I'm sure.
14. Wait for the progress to finish.
15. Reboot the device from the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
16. Hold the power button to get back into the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
17. Download the Android ROM you would like to use. In this case I am using the Android 4.0.4 ROM by tyugen which works well from an SDCard as well as the internal storage.
18. Copy the downloaded ZIP file to the SDCard you are using.
19. Insert the SDCard into your device while it is off.
20. Boot back into the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
21. Select AD Recovery.
22. Select install from SDCard.
23. Select choose zip from SDCard.
24. Select your ROM.
25. Select YES...
26. Wait for the installation page to show up and then tap NEXT.
27. Select install to SD-EXT and then tap NEXT.
