Hi, i tried to update from android 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 but i got a problem... i put the "dload" folder into my 16GB sdcard and press both volym keys while pressing the power button. Its unpacking and everything but when it changes to "installing" i get a message that the "update failed".
How do i fix this?
Things i have tried: Formatted sdcard and put "dload" folder into it
Downloaded an other gingerbread update
Factory reset and then tried update
Start the update from the internal sdcard
Start the update without the battery inserted and USB connected
Please help me!
Dload on root of your sd card. After that you must press both Vol + and - with Power key to boot on Pink Screen.

Tried it, wont work still "update failed"... i cant understand why it wont work, i even followed a video guide
Had the same issue
from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 ok but then nothing !!
Problem was my Motherboard of the phone
could go from 2.2.1 up to 2.2.2 and that was it
It even erased my IMEI number
Luckily it was under warranty
So they replaced my motherboard and now all is ok again

I had the same problem. So, I will point 2 things:
1. It may be a slow card. Try to add the dload folder in the internal card.
2. In case you use the B512, you need to put the UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_G.APP in the dload folder at the same time.

i downloaded this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728604 an it seems to work.
The phone says that i got the .35 kernel and android 2.3.7 but it seems like that rom is bad because my Ideos restarts sometimes, gonna find an other one. Got some tips of any good GB rom?
Okay, im using android 4.0.3 atm so if anyone else got the same problem as me, just use CWM to install a custom 2.3.7 rom or do like me: stock 2.2.2 -> custom 2.3.7 rom -> custom 4.0.3 rom ^^

A Custom ROM will always work !!
But you will and cannot upgrade with the Original Releases by HUAWEI
( please check if you still have your IMEI )
I had the same trouble as you did
And if you still have warranty then send it back !!
PS :
I tried fast MicroSD cards and slow 2GB 4GB 8GB and 16GB no luck at all
Internal memory same issues
With Battery or without still no luck
If original update fails while using sdcard try to copy dload folder into internal disk then unmount the sdcard and try to update again.
If your imei isnt nulled %99 it should update.
Btw please consider backing your imei before doing any update with 5iromtoolbox.

There is a log file in dload. What does it say?
The error message that I am getting is:
dload_sd_chk_ram_data failed!
Anyone know what that means?

In order to stop random reboots you must wipe battery stats then reinstall the zip

Hello, while I was testing 2.3.5 witch was great except that the mobile network was not woorking at all. So I decided that I needed too downgrade. And when I was browsing the phone I accidentally found this way.
This has not been proofed by anyone else I think.
Disclaimer: I do not take the resposibility for your device.
1. Put the dload on the root of SD-card (I used 138sp4)
2. Then go to storage in preferences. Head too the bottom then choose "upgrade SD-card". The phone blacked out, started up and installed 2.2
3. The phone boots up in recovery because of many errors. I choose wipe data/chache and wipe chache and reboot.
4. The phone rebooted and I am back to 2.2.2 from 2.3.5.
This method keeps the start-boot-picture (does not know if the other sulutions keeps it).
Sorry for my bad grammar on some of the words. I just wrote them down and did not have the time to fix them.
Hmmm...interesting....maybe I should try 2.3.5 even if I have the Atmel screen. :/

I have atmel screen but I like it because i wear gloves and the screen is so sensitive that it responds thrugh them.
I was forced to downgrade from 3.2.5 to 2.2.2 for the exacly same reason and i tryied that same way you did and i couldnt do it, i got a message saying something like "there are no upgrade firmware inside the SD card". So i used the root & replace boot and recovery files to downgrade what was a sucess. Got the same issues as you with the boot but the "wipe data/chache" from recovery resolved it.

The version i used was/is U8800V100R001C00B138SP04, so as far i can see it's the same as yours correct me if i'm wrong. But as far i could read about good/bad reports for 3.2.5 and all the different problems different people having version and same phones making me belive what's possible for one's arent for others.

The decision to distort the battery. Insert, connect the USB to the phone (on the other end connected to a computer), press and hold keys + - food, and wait a few seconds, as soon as you see a red flashing light, unplug the data cable, you can start sewn.

Yes its working great but if u have custom rom installed remember to factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik in recovery before downgrade, if u will not do this phone will stay at unpacking screen forever.

Thanks for the help. But I don't know what exactly you said. Can you please upload All bootloader files in a zip. My model is Huawei Ideos X5 U8800. Please help. I am really stuck and scared. for ROM version.. That is where I got stuck I was installing CM7 and by mistake I formatted everything. So do idea which ROM to write here. And I do not know the folder structure so please upload entire thing in zip or do guide me . thanks in advance
there are U8800, U8800H, U8800-51, U8800 Pro/+, and may be more..
and there are android 2.2 and 2.3 stock roms..
every combination of them has a different set of bootloader files, so giving u a wrong set of files will not help at all..
u got to get this info first before someone can help u..
maybe at least u can tell where u got the phone, any info printed on the box, etc..

u have probably deleted ur boot.img from phone's custom folder
there is only one way out
download the file i have provided in the link
extract the rar file using winrar
copy the "dload" folder to ur sdcard (dont put it in any other folder, just paste it in the sdcard)
pull out the battery and put it back
and then while holding volume + key switch on the mobile until it shows update on the screen
note: u need to have other mobile or sdcard reader to put dload folder in ur sdcard.... u cant access r sdcard while being in bluescreen of ur u8800

I installed foryo normally by pressing power button and volume keys
I went in pink mode again to copy CWM image.
I went to CWM and installed CM7 (geno) I don't know I tried 10 times to install ezet. It is not at all working with me. anyway But m very happy to be back to CM7 after using ICS MIUI (very much ram hungry).
Thanks everyone for helping me out.

I have similar issue but can not see the phones storage at all in pink or blue screen, the computer is asking me install drivers for the 'device' when i connect it via usb. I copied dload (official gingerbread) to the external sd card and vol -+ the phone and and the update started to take effect but stopped halfway through 2/2 install. There must be a way to boot/ bring the phone back to life using the external sd card can anyone help me with this?
minor issue as i understand. Try to install 2.2.1 (Foryo).
Are you getting blue screen as of now? or just in boot loop?
Lots of people having problems to install Official Firmwares .
So i decide to make a guide according my way .
NOTE
Don't blame on me if something goes wrong , it's YOUR choise to do these modifications ...
THINGS YOU'LL NEED
1. A micro sd card
2. A card reader
3. A laptop or pc
4. Battery charged over 70%
UPDATE FROM FROYO TO GINGERBREAD
LET'S START
1. Turn off the phone , and enter pink screen holding vol+ , vol- and power.
2. Change the recovery.img with the stock recovery.img for your baseband ( if you are on froyo , you must put froyo's stock recovery.img , if you're on GB put stock GB recovery.img , etc .. )
If you're with custom rom and you allready rename your stock recovery.img to "recovery_bak.img" or "recovery_backup.img" or anything else , then just delete the CWM recovery ( 5.0.2.7 ) , and rename stock recovery , to "recovery.img" .
3. Remove battery and insert it again after some seconds.
4. Connect your sd card with card reader and make a "dload" folder
5. Inside "dload" folder , paste the step1 ( UPDATE.APP ) , and paste also step 2 by renaming it to ( UPDATE_g.APP ) .... rename it exactly as you see it.
6. Put sd card in the phone
7. Hold , vol+ vol- and power , until phone vibrates .
8. The first step will finish almost immediately
9. Remove battery and insert it again after some seconds
10. Then , HOLD ONLY THE POWER ON BUTTON , until phone vibrates .
11. After 3 seconds , phone will start to install step 2 , it needs almost 5-7 minutes to finish.
12. Remove battery and remove sd card also
13. Put sd card in the card reader and delete the contents of "dload" folder
14. Now paste step 3 ( UPDATE.APP ) into "dload" folder.
15. Insert battery and sd card .
16. Hold vol+ vol- and power until phone vibrates
17. Step 3 will finish in some seconds
18. Remove battery and sd card
19. Put sd card into card reader and delete "dload" folder
20. Insert battery and sd
21. Hold power on until phone vibrates and wait phone to boot.
TO DOWNGRADE FROM ICS TO GINGERBREAD.
GUIDE FOR DOWNGRADE FROM ICS (404029 baseband) , TO GB (404020 baseband).
First of all you must be sure that you have imei and baseband.
So, you must firstly flash a jb or ics based rom, like icedroid ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2240898 ) , or any other jb rom, just to have your baseband and your imei back.
NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE IMEI AND BASEBAND (404029) , TO PROCEED WITH DOWNGRADE
After you're ok with imei and baseband, then you can follow the procedure for downgrade.
if your imei is zero , or your baseband unknown , you cannot proceed with downgrade.
Before you do anything, first of all you must take a backup of your imei.
Download 5iromtoolbox apk, from Pika's thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=24668935 ... and make a backup of your imei.
After that you can follow the procedure below to downgrade from ics to gb.
For example, if you're with icedroid rom , then ...
1. turn of the phone and remove sd card
2. i suggest to use an empty sd card 2gb for downgrade (flash official GB )
3. Connect your sd card with card reader on your pc and create a "dload" folder
4. Inside "dload" folder , paste the step2 ( UPDATE_g.APP ) , and rename it to ( UPDATE.APP ) .. download Official GB here .. http://www.mediafire.com/?7dyy01dzy68ns94
5. disconnect card reader and , Put sd card in the phone
6. Hold , vol+ vol- and power , until phone vibrates .After 3 seconds , phone will start to install step 2 , it needs almost 5-7 minutes to finish.( alternatively you can do this without battery , by holding the 3 buttons compo and insert usb cable until phone vibrates).
7. after installation completes , pull out battery and sd card
8. delete 'dload" folder from sd card and insert it to phone again
9. hold power on until phone vibrates
10. wait phone to boot on official GB
DONE
This is MY way on flashing official firmwares , i did it more than 7 times and having NO problems , everytime the installation will finished without a single problem.
When i was using cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 i was having problems but when i use the stock recovery then everything went fine .

Thx.
The previous recovery I had on my phone was the 3e, is it ok if I use that one? I don't know if it is the stock recovery tho, I'm not the first owner of this phone. I buyed it long ago to someone else and it came with Stock GB ROM, not with Froyo.
I hope this works for me! I'll test it right away. Thanks for sharing!

What is the reason for renaming the step 2 update.app ? Which step flashes update_g.app? Can you also upload links to official stock roms besides the huaweidevice pages?
Well i've tried with stock GB recovery and didn't work. it get stuck on step one and says "Update Failed" also the led start blinking in red. And after first time removing the battery and starting by pressing the ON button only the system starts normally (Kalo's extreme starts in my case like nothing happened)
Step two never starts! Am I missing something?
I almost forgot to mention that inside the dload folder theres a new file called: sd_update.log
it says this: Failure: OSBL°æ±¾¼ì²éʧ°Ü. dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
Now I've tried this solution and my phone got F·/$!"ed up... only a blue screen is all I see.

And after first time removing the battery and starting by pressing the ON button only the system starts normally (Kalo's extreme starts in my case like nothing happened)
Step two never starts! Am I missing something?
I almost forgot to mention that inside the dload folder theres a new file called: sd_update.log
it says this: Failure: OSBL°æ±¾¼ì²éʧ°Ü. dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
Now I've tried this solution and my phone got F·/$!"ed up... only a blue screen is all I see.

Never format boot ...
You delete the contents of image folder.
Get in pink screen , and put the files inside image folder again.
Hope you have a backup of image folder on your pc .

Much apreciated dude! But it didn't work. Yes, I did a backup of my image folder but it didn't work either. So I did a complete reinstalation of Froyo through Roadkill's Disk Image and it worked! xD Now i can install updates without any trouble at all..

This was the reason i bought my second U8800 pro ...
To make tests on everything , not only roms ...
So , after a lot of flashing official firmwares , i found that this is the easiest method to flash official roms , never had a single problem when i follow this procedure .
Numpers 5 and 10 , and changing recovery to stock is the differences and works like a charm for me.

My device has some dust under glass and I am considering to take it to service.
Which rom I should install as official? Froyo, gb? And where I can download them?
BTW I am now on 4.2.2 so my way to official Froyo would be to get official GB first? but for it what recovery or image should I use? Will gingerbread version fit?

I checked tutorial how to return to froyo (gkalenis tutorial) but it is for custom. how can I go back to froyo official from GB official?
I was not using for 1 year, 3 days ago i tried to update it from 2.3.5. I searched some roms and could not decide which one was for me, only i wanted was long battery. I started to install aurora with cwm but now after boorting, it shows huawei logo and then going into black screen.
And everything was deleted. I had made circle battery, and partionaded sdcard and memory to increase memory card capacity.
Now, when i connect to pc, i cant see the driver info. I installed adb drivers but it gave errors.
I dont know what to do and which rom to update...
Please help me to solve this.
How do you update to Aurora?
Can you go to CWM recovery? And bootloader (pink screen)?
Did you format data,system, cache before udpdate to any custom rom?
btw you can boot on Aurora with partitioned disk but try with default partition just to be sure. My advice is downgrade to stock rom then root, change recovery and then update to any custom rom.

I made wipe data cache calvik and then flash zip from sd.
I can go cwm recovery.
I downloaded 2.3.5 stock rom, but there were not working links on Huawei site so i found a Portuguese 2.3.5. I ddid know if it is stock or not.
Doesn't matter if is stock rom you'll be fine. Can phone boot fine from stock rom? If yes download Aurora rom zip one more time and try again :good:.
Install Aurora v5 then u21 after that reboot. But i didn't know how it isn't booting try format that 3 things i said you can see that options on advanced menu.
btw did this happen with others stock roms?

Now it is closed because i cant open it, despite i insatall adb drivers, i cant still access to sd card. i can see 2 partition in my computer but it deosnot let me go in. Why is that?

I cant see what rom i have. I cant open. I cant connect. I can only flash the aurora zip in sd card.
Do you have possibility to try your sd card on other device or maybe sd reader? Try to format if it's still not working try with another one.
I am convinced that you might have flashed the wrong zip. What is the name of the zip file that you have tried to flash?

There is your problem. You were supposed to flash aurora 5.0 experimental zip file first. After that you have to flash the update 20 zip file (without wiping).
So, have you tried going into cwm recovery > mounts and storage > mount USB storage. Then connect the phone to your computer

I didn't understand until now that you haven't got sd external card lol. You need to install aurora_v5 first and after that update20 or update 21.
But if you can boot to recovery you should connect to internal sd to pc and show as usb disk. Try that.

Yes, you have to make sure you have upgraded to official 2.3.5. After that, flash Aurora v5 Experimental. Then flash update 20 on top without wiping.
It would be easier if you get a MicroSD card Reader.

I'm trying to downgrade from dzo's Aurora back to Gingerbread. I have copied over to the micro sd the dload file of 2.2.1, and when I connect the phone in order for it to install I get a pink screen. I tried to go directly to Gingerbread, but I also get a pink screen.
Can anyone help me with the downgrade?

I heard you wanted to downgrade because you want to install CM10.1.
Well, there is no need to downgrade. You can flash CM10.1 over Aurora after wiping.
If you still have cwm recovery, go straight to CM10.1.

How can I revert to stock partition then? I have no clue...
Thanks for your help!
I'd like to know this aswell.
I'm on Aurora and I'm trying to downgrade to official gingerbread B517 so I can unlock my network and I'm also getting a pink screen.
I do have the dload/update.app on the sdcard.
I tried reverting to the original_partition.zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882261 (I had the 2gb fix) and I'm still getting the pink screen.
I solved it!!!
instead of having dload/UPDATE.APP in the external SD, I used the internal one and the pwr+volup+voldown worked. Instead of the pink screen, it updated to B517 and my phone is unlocked to any network and free to install custom roms (I was at aurora before but without unlocked networks).
I used the ES File Explorer app to copy the dload folder from the external to the internal SD. In ES file explorer settings I allowed to go to the root and the SD cards are in /mnt/sdcard1 and /mnt/sdcard2/ or something like that.
I turned off the device and removed the battery AND the external SD card
I connected the USB to my PC and turned the phone using pwr + volup + voldwn.
Instead of showing the pink screen, it updated.
I did the same to the other step (in B517 there are 2 steps)
I have unlocked networks and I am ready to install custom roms again
I also installed this patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490 because I was not having USB in the pink screen but I don't know if you also have this issue.
Let me know if this works for you too. I think we had the same issue.
Why with USB cable? Did it not work with the battery? I also want to downgrade to froyo but just waiting for blefish to release his cm10. I also had only pink and no downgrade. I knew this method but never shared cause I did not try it myself. My USB cable sometimes doesn't fit in properly.
