Hi to everyone.
I have an Ideos x5 u8800, and i have the official 2.3.5 b522 gingerbread update.
I have already rooted my phone without any kind of problems, but i cannot install the clockworkmod recovery by any method that i ve seen in here and over the internet.
The problem that i am having with this is that i follow the procedures shown on this site.
1) i download the recovery img
2) i unzip it
3) i power off the device, and turn it on using volume+ plus volume- plus power buttons all long pressed together until pink screen appears
but after pink screen, i connect the phone to computer via usb, but computer wont recognize the phone. i mean i cannot access the phone from my pc during the pink screen to paste the recovery image on the phone.
I have install Hi Siute lattes version, i have use it do check for drivers, and it says that is ok. I have also went to the device manager and it says all my drivers are up to date.
i am using windows 7 64 bit, i don t know if have some kind of conflict. I know that i am probably doing something wrong, but don t know what, so if you very kindly can help me i would be eternal grateful, and if cannot help me i thank you anyway.

I thank you for the help Qqqxxxzzz, but i think you miss understood me, i aplologize if you don t.
You see my problem is exactly on step 3 of those instruction.
i mean, i cannot use the clockworkmod recovery image 5.5.0.4.
i will try to explain: i power on my phone using vol+ plus vol- plus the power button, and i do get my pink screen.
my problem is: in order to install the clockworkmod i need to connect the phone to the pc while my phone is on the pink screen. and this is exactly what i can t do. i mean, i have the pink screen, but when i plug my phone into the pc while on the pink screen, the pc wont recognize or connect to the phone.
so to summarize: basically i cannot follow step 3 of those instructions because i don t have the recovery 5.5.0.4 installed, because i cannot install it.
i assume, and i am sorry if i m wrong, that the recovery image that is on the tutorial you passed me is the clockworkmod recovery.
i hope you understand correctly the problem i have and if you can help me i thank you, i you cannot i thank you anyway.
Anyway, if no one can help me i am going to quit and let my phone the way it is now, because i don t wanna end up bricking my phone and my english is not the best so i understand that is difficult for people to help me.
i thank you anyway.
Seriously, you must do a litle research before posting new threads with same questions. This way the forum bloats with same stuff unswered again and again.
It' s known(mentionded a lot of times in different threads on the forum), that huawei has blocked the pink screen functionality after B518 release. So, after this release the bootoader is locked and you can't no more see the special partitions on pc when you're on pink screen mode. There' s also a specific thread which explains how to get the unlocked pink screen back. Search for "Get back your pink screen" thread on developement section(this maybe easy be the 10th time I post this info).

You can't install CWM via pink screen in B522 and later releases.
1. Root you phone
2. Download 5.5.0.4 recovery
3. Use root explorer/es file explorer/any other file manager which can get root access
4. Move recovery.img to /.cust_backup/image
5. reboot

Apply only if you have upgraded your phone to B522 or newer. You may have a custom ROM on top, but the base has to be B522 or newer.
Tested by myself on B522, B526. Reported working on B528.
The steps required to get back pink/blue screen USB:
Automatic flashable zip is pretty much fail proof, but I have warned you.
Automatic method (recommended):
Download update-B518-bootloader.zip from MediaFire.- done
Save it to the root of your SD Card.-done
Start the phone in recovery mode (recommended recovery is 5.5.0.4)- cannot do, because i cannot install recovery 5.5.0.4
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "chooze zip from sdcard"
Select the zip you downloaded before.
Select yes.
Reboot and enjoy!
The only way to install recovery 5.5.0.4, is to power on phone with vol+, vol- and power buttom, and when i do that, i get the pink screen but no usb on pc, so i cannot install (recommended recovery is 5.5.0.4), because to do that i need the usb.
ok. i am done trying and i am going to quit.
thank you for the help.
you may close this tread if you wish.

No, it' isnt.
Qqqxxxzzz already post the other way above.
And also you can replace the bootloader directly with the second way.

ok so here is what happened i have a stock US retail wifi only 16gb tab no clockwork recovery or none of that , im kind of a noob when it comes to that stuff, so today i received the update cool i downloaded it but it didn't install the first time for some reason. The it said a previous update was sucessfully downloaded but did not install do i wish to instal so i clicked yest and it said tab is about to reboot, clicked ok and it took me to this black and grey screen like the boot screen only with a loadbar and it zoomed to 100 percent. then i got the original samsung galaxy boot logo and the noise but no animation then the screen goes to this nasty screen with alot of colorful lines and dots everywhere and i cant see anything looks terrible.
Heres what i can do i can go into the bootloader by pressing power and volume. and i already tried to do a restore/wipe but didnt help, i can also plug it in to the computer and use the sd card and put and remove files from tab. im wondering if i can somehow get the update put it in the tab and install from there and see if it works or if i can get stock honeycomb and try to see if that works because they guy at samsung was clueless he didnt get the fact that i cant use the OS and said i need to get it serviced when i know its a software problem.
exact same thing happened to me! keep me posted
I've just got absolutely the same problem. I have a stock wifi 32gb version.
If you can get to your bootloader and sdcard still then why don't you just install CWM and try flashing the stock 3.1 OTA?
All the files you need and instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Once you're done flash the stock recovery back and try the update again, or just wait for one of the devs to release a flashable zip.
sorry if im mistaken but dont i need to be able to use the tab and install something from the market place to be able to install CWM thats what im getting from what i read?
I can't even get my bootloader. Holy f**k am I pissed. Does anyone have any ideas??
Ok. So I installed the Samsung Kies software. It recognizes the device and shows that the update is available. However, it says that the battery should be fully charged. So now I am waiting for the full charge to proceed.
Hope the Kies helps.
I'll try that too. ahh

No.
Go to the thread I linked, download the files, watch the youtube video.
1. Install the GT-p7510_USB_Driver if you haven't already
2. Start Odin - untick the auto reboot option
3. Click PDA and choose recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5
4. Power up your tab and get it into download mode (power down + vol down, then vol up)
5. connect the tab to your PC, one of the boxes in odin should highlight yellow and say com 4 or whatever.
6. press start and it'll flash CWM to your tab
7. wait till it's done, it should only take a few seconds and the boxes will turn green.
8. power down your tab and unplug it from your pc
9. boot into CWM, (power down + vol down, vol down to select CWM, vol up to enter.
10. flash hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip
11. do a factory wipe in CWM and wipe davlik just to be safe
12. reboot, and hopefully you'll be back to stock 3.1
From here you can do whatever you want.
Connect it to a PC and there's a firmware recovery on KIES. Hope that works!

it didn't work for me. There were no devices in the list to recover.
I'm going to try it once my kies is finished updating. I really hope this works.
haha well first and formost i want to thank everyone for thier input. I did alot of searching online i tried KIES samsung tech support was useless. So i found the instructions on how to put clockwork on a locked bootloader got it on there and flashes the stock rom and it worked my tab is now back! only problem now is i tried to update again and only go the minor update and it doesnt find the big one lol but cant complain ill just wait lol thanks again. and to others who had the same problem dont deal with KIES to recover its useless unless you were using the program to update. I suggest getting CWM and flashing stock since thats what worked for me?

Glad to hear it worked.
Since you now have CWM, just download the flashable zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198921
Make sure you do a factory reset in CWM after you flash this, otherwise you'll bootloop.

Thank you DocRambone, flashing that via Odin got me up and running.
Then I flashed CWM as per earlier post and then flashed the Stock UEKMB + root ROM and I guess I am good to go.
Ok guys. This is my report. I used the Kies to update. The firmware was updated successfully and now the tablet works perfectly!
So this is easier and less painful method than using CWM described above =)) (but thanks to hoodoomagic for the description anyway)
Hope this will help somebody.
hi dudes can you help?
My desire hd stucks on htc logo when i start it... and also when i go to recovery mode to install a new ROM (when pressed power button and volume down key) it shows me a mobile picture with red triangle with "!" and can't go further... What should i do, so i install i new Android ROM... Thankyou for your replies
How exactly did this happen in the first place?
Secondly I think you should try to flash a new recovery from fastboot. I have forgot how to do it but that is the way forward. Somebody should reply with details on that

That is the stock recovery. Either you don't have a custom recovery installed or you haven't rooted & removed S-OFF.
Use [TOOL] Advanced Ace Hack Kit (UPDATED 25-10-2011) to root & flash a custom recovery.
how do i install it... as i came up to conclusion - i should copy the zip file into my mobile and then install it from recovery... but as i said when i start the recovery mode, it stucks on a mobile pic with red exclamation in triangle and here, i am stuck, so as further as i know i should flash it from PC... Can you explain me completly what should i do with this hack kit... Thanks for your replies
Or, how about you go to the Development Section, read through the guides, including the one I provided a link to and learn how to do it. Its not rocket science. If after reading through it you still think its too hard, sadly Custom ROMs aren't for you.

Download the hack it, and extract it if you need to. There will be a file called the 'Effen Manual' which you need to read before you do anything. It gives you instructions for Windows, OSX and Linux, so pick the relevant one.
It's really quite simply, just follow the guide, which involves running a script from the cmd or terminal, and wait for it to do its thing. Takes about 6-10 minutes on average.
Hope it goes well
hmm i read the effen manual done everything it says but one thing i cant do... Can't turn on the debugging mode because android does not start... Is there any other way to turn the debugging mode on?

! with the Android guy is recovry, stock recovery.
instead of Vol up to get into revovery, wait till you get options to cold boot or wipe device.
try booting that way.

yesterday, i try to root and install CWM via Prime V4.5
then the device comes this .....
Thanks ...
Never heard of that root utility before. You may not have used the right rooting utility for your device which can cause a brick situation. Also, are u sure u dont have the tf 101 and not thr tf prime? The vipermod utility found in the tf prime forum will root ics for both the 101 and prime. My suggestion is that u make sure u have the right device and search the right forum for brick recovery, unroot, or return to stock threads. They are usually found in the development sections.

viperMod PrimeTime 4.5 will only root the TF101 and shouldn't be used to install CWM. That's why it bricked.

I might be able to help you... I saw your post around 4am. I had the same problem kinda. Was asleep most the day (got done at 6am).
I rooted with viperMod PrimeTime and it worked !
BUT i forgot to FLASH CWM RECOVERY from inside the app and proceeded to install the new ROM after root was made USING the CWM app. What happened in my case , the CWM app restarted trying to flash the new ROM, WITHOUT CWM being my recovery instead rebooted to STOCK recovery and something glitched up. I had the same thing as you stuck on Eee pad never re-starting. Cold boot wouldn't work or full wipe..In my case something conflicted.
Below is the NVFlash of the 3.2 Build of 8.6.5.13 (Latest Build). You need to re-flash again using APX threw your USB connected to a PC (it self installs) :
http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/tr...stock-3-2-recovery-roms-unbricking-tools.html
the links are in Grey btw and says US version, ect ..read everything but its very straight forward... ill explain what i did toward the end of the post to simplify it since it took awhile to figure it out. Ill add side comments threw the process that explains better than the link.
Attention: These tools are designed to bring your device back to working condition. They are great for getting back to stock if you need to send your device in for repair or you need to downgrade to stock in order to root your device, etc.
Instructions for Windows users:
1. download the file from the original link i gave above. NVFlash of the 3.2 Build of 8.6.5.13 (Latest Build) USWindows
2. unpack zip to desktop.
3. Press Volume up and Power at the same time on your Transformer to enter APX mode, connect to pc (hold for about 7 seconds). Basically, Power off.. THAN, power and Volume up at the same time to enter APX mode. IMPORTANT!! the screen remains BLACK like its frozen ,with no writing or indication something is happening. that's normal and the original poster in the link never mentioned it. That is APX mode..
4. drivers for APX are in there if you need them..inside the windows downloaded file its called NVFLASH towards the bottom
On your PC go Device manager.. if APX is working correctly and the Transformer is in APX mode it will appear as an exclamation on the device manager named APX.. you cant miss it.. it stands out. On my Windows 7 PC it changed and said Asus USB (or something like that)
5. double click Run Download.bat file and let run! everything is prepackaged so no copying files, etc. In the same file you downloaded that you unzipped named Windows its the 4th file that says "download" with a gear looking icons.
Your Transformer (based on what happened with mine) will go threw a self install like its pushing files and flashing it..the black screen looks like its being pushed the files and reflashing without a recovery. Your going back to stock. if you dont see anything on your Transformer screen after running/double clicking the Download.bat file ....Right click on APX in the device manager , properties, Drivers, update Firmware, choose manual install and find the Downloaded.bat file and click it. That should do the trick..I did both and only noticed the Transformer lighting up after manually pushing it threw APX.
6. After the device reboots power it off. Then hold vol- and power until you get the option to erase your data.... Select the option to wipe data.
7. Download the latest update from the Asus website if applicable and follow the manual instructions. This step may not be necessary if your OTA update worked or my nvflash is the latest version. US update on there site is 9.2.1.17.Its the only one...
What i did was go back to stock since i didn't see any interesting ROMS..Point is THAT unbricked my device by flashing it in APX mode when it was connected to the PC.
I did use ViperMod again to Root, but used the Clockwork mod app in my Transformer to FLASH CWM RECOVERY to try a few ROMS out.
After trying a few of them out i choose to revert everything to stock, unrooted and reflashed STOCK recovery.
Hopefully that helps you out.. it did work for me...
Thank you so much it worked great

Glad i could help
Sorry to dig up slightly old threads, but I have a question for you. I have a TF101 that I was trying to update to ICS. It is currently running 3.2 courtesy of the unbricking tool listed in this thread. I had to unstore it as it was bricked from a bad install. That was many moons ago. It won't show an updaate listed, so I decided to go with the manual route. I downloaded the appropriate update (my device lists WW version) loaded it on an SD card had the install prompt come up and rebooted to install... For a split second it shows the android with the gears like it is installing the update and then shows the android with a triangle and exclamation mark. After that, nothing. I have to reboot to get it off that screen. Upon booting, I get a message saying system update failed (2) unknown error. Any ideas?
If Im not mistaken, the zip file you download (I guess from asus?) contains another zip.
Thats the zip you should place on your SD card, did you do that?
Also try renaming that zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip (the one extracted)
I already had the zip extracted, and renaming didn't do anything.

Are you rooted? Did you remove any system apps?
Another thing to try is on your micro sd card, make a folder name ASUS and inside that folder another folder call Update, inside the Update folder put the extracted zip file (don't rename). Turn off TF and turn it back on, see if it will detect the update file.
If that fail, you did mentioned you use the unbricking tool, use that NVFlash to flash a compatible ICS ROM
It isn't rooted anymore since I ran the unbricking tool, and no system files were modified. Placing it in Asus>Update folder didn't work. I may end up having to really do things manually...

You don't need to be root to use NVFlash.
Just when with a slightly older version of the update and it worked. There may be something wrong with the file Asus has hosted.
Hi
I have a slightly different problem. I have rooted my B60 serial number, it has the ICS from ASUS on it and it boots fine, its rooted and it works. Now the problem is I thought lets try a clockwork mod and play with custom roms.
So I set my win 7 up to adb etc, and pressed power button volume button - and off to recovery I went...
but all I got was a little green android on its back chest open and an exclamtion mark. No adb fastboot devices command.
I seem not to have a recovery nor a way of forcing a custom recovery.
Should I NV flash or just be happy the tab works and leave well alone?
Any other answers since a lack of recovery may come back to haunt me sooner or later.
I also tried the power button vol uyp for 7 secs and nothing happens I can get to the cold boot erase data option on power down, don't want to do that yet since Im not sure what data gets erased and I may have a totally non working tab.
Use RecoveryInstaller to install cwm recovery
Use RecoveryInstaller to install cwm recovery
This is my problem I can't get recovery - nor can I get adb to see the device. It shows as a hard drive/storage device but not in adb.
ok so basically im a noob to the hd2 burly bought it today from some guy thing is it already has android 2.3.2 and im trying to flash ics to it but if will not boot up cwm any idea or is there a how to guide here? again i am a noob to the site i ve tried serching but dont know exactly what im searching for so decided to ask you guys.
hope i posted in the right section.

Maybe you do not have CWM installed. To install it you have to download the required file from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
Go to downloads and download the appropriate partition. As you are new to all of this i suggest you download the 250mb partition, u know, just to get the ICS rom working.
Anyways, after you download it extract it somewhere.
Boot your Phone into MAGLDR (turn it on by holding the power button)
Select option 5. USB flasher. Connect you phone to the pc via the usb cable. Wait for it to say usb....usb on the last line (this is on the phone)
Then run DAF.exe on your pc. Follow the instructions on the setup.
Thats it. You have CWM installed.
To enter CWM, select option 8. AD recovery from the MAGLDR menu.
Hope it helps
did you press and hold the end call button?

and if option 8 doesn't say 'AD recovery' then you have an old version of magldr - quite likely, if cwm really isn't installed, since all newer roms are cwm flashed.
download cwm for sd card you need to google cwm for sd card xda and follow instructions to letter. this allows you to have.cwm if your is corrupted or not working. then when you boot up phone holding power button to get into magldr. thread on cwm sd will explain all.
hope this helps as this is how i got my cwm working when mine got corrupted. i now always have a backup.of this on my sd card in case my cwm ever gets corrupted again.
I am so confused .
Im very new to messing around with phones... yes you can call me a super super NOOB
my phone was already rooted and was running a
miui rom (Elite.ROM.v9.7.FIXED.with.Galnet.by.TerraMino_2012-02-18)
(oxygen2.2.2-u8800-test-110914)
i wanted to change it and tried to update CWM coz it was running an older version something like 5.0.---
i installed the file b518 and when i restarted my phone the phone got stuck in a boot loop.....
I can not access CWM
my phone does not come on and is in a boot loop
the only thing i can access now is the pink screen which i can view the image folder
Before this i had made a copy of my whole SD card on the computer...
so if n e files are required i can access it.
I have the zip files that are listed above
PLEASE HELP ME .....[/I][/B]
First, check if you have a normal U8800, not -51 nor Pro.. You can check it by removing the battery.. And, the files you had on sdcard wont help you :/
You can also try to flash another official rom...
EDIT: what happens when you try to enter recovery?
hmm..try it:
go to in pinkscreen, connect phone to pc via usb and replace recovery to custom; boot in recovery (power+vol.up), wipe all (data/factory reset) and try to boot phone.. or install another rom in recovery

ok i just checked and i have the normal u8800
I think i messed up the phone even more.
i got it to stock and upgraded the CWM to 5.5.0.4 i think the new'st version .
I got that done and then tried upgrading it to aurora 5.0
I copied the file on to the sd card and installed it thru recovery . it said sucessfuly installed but when i rebooted my phone the huawei logo comes up and then a blank screen would remain.
I could access the CWM and i tried to factory reset and wipe out all the data, and after i did and rebooted the phone boots into a blue screen.
when i try to get into the recovery mode by pressing vol up+ power button i still get the blue screen
when i press vol up+ vol down +power butten it goes into a pink screen but i cant access the image folder.
I cant access any of the memory's on the computer.
I tried hooking it up to ubuntu to see if the drives pop up, but still no luck.
as of now im in a fix i dont know what to do coz recovery mode is not opening up and only a blue screen is coming and no reaction on the computer.
PLEASE HELP IM GOING A LIL INSANE>>>>

DON'T USE odin and other flash tools for our phone. It will full brick your phone.
Did you re-flash B518?
If you did,connect Phone while in Blue (or Pink) screen on Ubuntu. Open the disk manager tool (or partition tool,I forget its name),take a screenshot and upload here.

Maybe the partitions on phone NAND is corruptted.
Disk manager (or partitio manager) is already installed on all of Ubuntu products.

hey thanks a lot i i got it back to the stock version
feels awsome to have sorted this nonsense....
big headache gone..... i dont know if i wanna mess around and upgrade it again... lol
Any help PLEASE! How did you do it?
Hi everyone,
Firstly let me thank anyone reading this in advance! Secondly let me extra thank anyone who helps me in advance!
Sudhodhan. How did you fix your phone?
I rooted my phone. Then I copied a new boot.img file into './cus_backup/image' directory and now the phone wont boot. It just keeps rebooting. I've looked through this forum but cant seem to find an answer. People with similar problems but not exactly the same.
When I go into the pink screen I cannot see the recovery image folder when I pug the USB from phone to computer.
My phone has android 2.3.5.
I cannot access the clockwork recovery mode (by holding power + vol up) it doesn't work anymore or at all?
I have Ubuntu and Xp on my computer.
When I connect phone to computer (while in the pick screen) ubuntu recognises a huwei device attached but adb does not see it. previously adb would see the device.
However when I let the phone keep rebooting endlessly there are moments when adb sees the phone. I have even opened a shell in adb on the device for a little while. but when I did I could not see any hidden directories or the './cust_backup/image' directory. I tried to push the original boot.img file over but that did not work either!
I am stuck.
If I could see the image directory while phone was in the pink screen I could copy original boot.img.
Any suggestions!
Cheers
Hi Koffs,
First check if your phone is U8800 and not a variant like U8800-Pro (+), U8800-51 or U8800-H.
In the case you have a regular U8800 I would suggest you install a stock rom.
For now I recommend B518, find here the link:
