Put the zip file into internal memory and try again.

If you have made a nandroid backup of the stock froyo rom just restore it in CWM recovery if not and if you want to install an official froyo rom in pink screen make sure you have put the dload folder on the root of SD card or the internal SD card with the update.app file and don't forget to backup your IMEI with 5IromToolBox.

Im sorry, but i did not understood. did you mean the internal sd card, or do you mean really the internal memory, and if it is the internal memory can i delete the recovery image and the other stuffs that are in there, because if not there is not enough space.
thank you

Use the internal SD card, not the SD card you put (external)... The internal card is the only one you can use to downgrade (please someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Can't pass HTC welcome screen

Hi, Guys
I was trying to root the phone by using the hack-ace.cmd and when I get into the final step - updating the ROM from SD card...I accidentally pull out the cable and then the screen stays on the welcome HTC logo forever.
I have tried the volume down button + power or home + power or even re-root the phone. It came back HTC logo again. But the screen will change to something else when I trying to re-root the phone. The process acually successful, but it still report errors in the very end saying "USB connection fail" or "Golden Card fail".
Here are the steps I followed,
Steps for this process:
1. Download the Advanced Ace Hack Kit
2. Extract the files
3. Install Desire HD drivers in /tools/windrivers/
4. Connect the device via USB and turn on USB Debugging in Settings-Applications-Development
5. Run the hack-ace.cmd as Administrator and start the process by typing "1" and "Enter"
6. The process will run and will take about 5-6 minutes to complete
7. Download your ROM of choice, do not extract it, and copy the .zip to the device SD card
8. Rename the file to "update.zip"
9. Power off your device
10. To boot in the bootloader, perform a battery pull, reinstate the battery, and hold the volume down and power buttons
11. Using the volume buttons to navigate, and power button to make selections, boot into Recovery, clear the cache, and select 'install update from sdcard'.
12. When the flashing process has completed, reboot your device and wait about 3-4 minutes for it to boot fully
13. You device is now rooted and has a custom ROM installed
I strongly believe, I forgot to power off the device and go straight to the bootloader and pressed the install update.zip from SD card.
Then I also believe that I used a corrupted ROM from a crap website, which is about 75Mb...Not normal, right?
The screen turn into HTC logo and I waited for 2mins and seen no changes, hence I pulled the cable out....
The final result is that I always get the HTC logo even if I tried to install new ROM file downloaded from a valid site.
Now the problem solved. Love your guys

No so understand ur indication issue. Firstly are able to get into bootloader mode? If yes, try to flash stock firmware 1.32......from the billiard, but make sure you have stock firmware in your sd card which it should be a Goldcard.

you have gone into stock recovery not a custom recovery, you could flash stock firmware from boot loader i think but you cant install custom roms untill your get custom recovery + root + eng s off
hi, thank you for your reply. I have downloaded the Radio.img. and I have tried to wipe the data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition. Then I have transferred a valid ROM into SD card and press "Apply sdcard: update.zip" It returned "Signature verification failed, installation aborbed" The phone before was on usb debugging mode and has been rooted successully. Now, I think the original system is died.... Please advise further. Cheers

Dude here is the rooted stock ATT ROM it includes the radio. Just download place in root of gold card then go to bootloader with power - volume button. it will recognize the PD98IMG file, will ask to load volume up for yes then let it do its thing. Please search and read before you attempt anything with phone. AS ADVICED ON XDA FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q6YYQFIM
This is the rooted ATT updated ROM with radio do not rename file just place in root of SD (Not in any folder) Good Luck.
Hello, please look at my original post. I have edited and provide more history. Cheers
Hi mate, I am still little bit confused. You said "place in root of gold card" then "do not rename file just place in root of SD"........I am not professional, but I heard the Goldencard before.. Should I just download the PD98IMG.zip then send it to SD card then go to the bootloader see how it goes?

Yes, u need to flash PD98IMG.ZIP to have your device working back. If your phone is branded , it will require gold card which u should create it one for your device to recognize it or u may download the above mentioned zip file to ur pc then copy to ur sd card first, and get the phone into bootloader mode to see If it could recognize in case ur phone is not branded, If it is so, then u can save time for not creating goldcard and progress to flash the rom from as card.
Remember no need to rename the file. Ur responding in this thread is on & off, users here could not help u when u urge to get ur phone working back.

I am picking you need to install the right HTC driver, there should be one on the hack kit, if not google it, look for version one. Once I installed it
It carried on and rooted without issue.

Go to desktop, right click on my computer select manage, select device manager from left locate device driver from the list in middle panel, locate the htc usb it may have a yellow triangle next to it, right click and select update software Try this first before downloading another driver, if this doesn't work then you well have to locate new driver

2.3 to 2.2 downgrade probelem

hi guys.i have a big problem but i don't understand how i solve this.i upgraded 2.3 official bete.after i wanted to downgrade but setup is failed.i opened the phone but it isn't.only huawei's logo is coming and shotdowned.i can't enter recovery.and when i press volume up+down and power,phone beginning setup and failed again.
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.

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

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?

If your phone is not booting at all, you may try using ADB/Shell. I should warn you that it might be little confusing for beginners.

Something must be wrong with the recovery files i've been downloading... i used rom manager to reboot in to recovery and the phone simply stays stuck @ Huawei logo... And if i try to power on + Vol+ it won't start at all. You don't have a working Recovery image somewhere by any chance?
Edit...
What firmware you are using?
If it's B522 or newer, do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490
Now, turn your phone off and take battery out. Hold volume+, volume- and power button. Your phone should now turn into pink screen. connect it to computer via USB. On your computer go disk(phone)>image and replace recovery image with cwm. Don't forget rename new recovery to recovery.img take battery out to turn off phone.
If not working I suggest you re-flash firmware, but I have still one method left if you don't want to do it.

Recopy
I'd say re-download and re-copy the recovery.img file using ES File Explorer, check the permissions, and then reboot your phone.
I found that I need to hold down Vol + and power for a few seconds even AFTER the Huawei logo is already showing.
ROM Manager doesn't detect your phone so I wouldn't use that.
Hope this helps

I had the same problem with mu Huawei U8800 (normal not pro), when I updated to 2.3 back in march this year, what I did, I went back and reinstalled the Beta version that came back in 2011 (v18) as I had saved it on my school computer (you can try and also search on google if there are some huawei beta roms for u8800 still available as I got mine from a past backup), then with that I was able to boot holding the volume + and - keys together with the power button I got the pink screen, and now I was able to copy and replace the CWM 'recovery' image when I connected the USB cable to the computer, Then I removed the cable and when I pressed the power button and the volume button + button i got CWM. To all the developers who came up with this. You are all amazing!

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

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

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.

Well, I don't know what else is failing... bear in mind that for recovery to boot you have to keep pressed vol + / power button simultaneously for quite a bit. Even if normal recovery doesn't show up, huawei's recovery should...
+ power - it shows IDEOS and shuts down after 15 sec.

Sorry, don't know how to help anymore... I suggest you install official stock 2.3.5 beta 1 again and copy recovery to pink more... maybe the bootloader tutorial you followed changed something.
