Hi there!
I tried to update firmwmare with lots of different ROM's (B135,B136,B162,B517,B522) but always getting "Update failed" at Step 2/2 - Installing.
Is this phone bricked?
I cannot access internal card.
Any ideas before i threw it away?
Update: On sdcard i am getting error in file: sd_update.log
notes: (dld_file_ptr != -1) !
dload_sd_file_data_proc-(dld_retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
Try mounting internal throught ubuntu in pink screen. Then Put b138 there, remove anything else from internal. Then remove battery from phone and put it to charger. Then start update. If it fails, start it again. After that go to recovery and do factory reset.
Sorry for my english. Im in a bit hurry.

As long as you have a working pink screen, anything is solvable .
I do have pink screen and blue screen. I tried to mount internal with vmware ubuntu. But cannot mount it. It doesn't show up at all Don't know how to mount it.
Any ideas or help would be appreciate! Thanks guys!
update the original version you had before custom roms. update without battery. plugin power cord.

Also tried without battery. It is the only way to update. With battery cannot go further from "step 1/2 Unpacking"

Thanks julle!
But seems to me that you don't understand the problem.
Here are the steps from blefish:
1 Download update-B518-bootloader.zip from MediaFire.
2 Save it to the root of your SD Card.
3 Start the phone in recovery mode (recommended recovery is 5.5.0.4)
4 Select "install zip from sdcard"
5 Select "chooze zip from sdcard"
6 Select the zip you downloaded before.
7 Select yes.
I am already STUCKED in step 3. Because i do not get to RECOVERY MODE!!!
I am having only PINK screen (VOL +, VOL -, power button) and BLUE screen (VOL +, power button). That's it!
And CANNOT access to internal card on Windows neither on Linux Ubuntu.
Guess Huawei officials has USB drivers to access internal card on Windows or Linux but they don't share them with us
I have android_winusb.inf driver but cannot install it and recognize device in pink or blue screen mode

I got the blue screen when I accidently forgot to put boot.img back in its place on the image partition.
My hypothesis is, based on that, the first UPDATE.APP (the smaller one) changes the partition layout (which would delete all the files), while the larger UPDATE_G.APP starts installing all the files: /system but - more importantly - the image partition where boot.img, AMSS.mbn and recovery.img are stored. If the update did not take, then they won't be there and the bootloader can't start them up. In my case, I was able to mount the image partition in Linux and put the boot.img back. Hopefully I'm talking out of my ass. :\
Ah! I was able to mount the partition in Linux because I'm using the B512 bootloader; you must have the B540 bootloader (or whatever is its equivalent for the U8800). I guess Huawei's laissez faire attitude towards rooting (you could browse / from the computer!) is going away now that they're moving into the big time (deals with AT&T, the Honor etc.). I don't know how you can downgrade if you can't boot to something like recovery.

Actually, these work: http://www.mediafire.com/?j33yo9wy9bspm86
But you can't ADB from the bootloader (or use them to mount a partition); it's for running Qualcomm QPST (though I couldn't figure out how to get it working).
Sorry, but im running out of ideas. It seems you have bootloader locked, and without recovery we cant unlock it... what happens if you install official 2.2 and after error try to install it again? We must get the bootloader unlocked.

You are right!
So the device should be bricked now? I cannot give back to warranty 'cause i already did it once If i send also this one they will laugh at me and of course they will not give me another phone
But after i installed those drivers you've attached i am getting no more exclamation mark in Device manager. hmmm. Please look at attached pic. What now?
Is there a chance to getting to device through hyperterm or something?

Actually, I haven't tried HyperTerminal on the COM ports/modem - maybe it could, somehow, let you do something? Changing the USB mode would be great...
If you do figure out QPST, you'll need the firmware in a form it can understand - maybe you'd have to get another device to dump its firmware...
Regarding warranty: Couldn't you make the case that it was an official firmware update that caused your phone to brick?

I am bad in english, so it might be the problem cant express my self right. I know it fails, but run it again after the fail. I am hoping it unlocks bootloader. Then you can access the phones whole memory from ubuntu.
Someone, if you understand this sh*t im writing, please translate it to real english

Hi.My SE X10 today "died"..
When i connected him to PC,blink green led and a vibrate for a 1second.
I try repair him with SEUS but he tell me that i am at the newest version of android(2.3)
Flashtool shows me this(look picture)
Pls help me :/
are you sure the phone has enough charging? What you have done which resulted in this situation? Need more details.
What you are trying to do with flashtool which has given you error?
Thanks
Hi,
Are u using repair option? It shouldn't show any info about software version during repair.
If it recognizing your phone it should still be possible to fix it.

Hi, did you use flash mode to connect (Power off phone(Or best remove battery for 5 seconds and put it back) then connect your X10 USB port but not to connect PC first. Then press "Back button" and connect it to PC while pressing it) And seeing you using 2.1Generic ftf to flash. Why don't you try flash 2.3.3Firmware FTF and see whether got any changes? Hope helps.

When in pink screen, you will need to connect your phone to your computer. You should see your phone's internal files. Copy all files from a ROM to the correct folders. (I haven't tried this method myself, but it's what I've read on other threads)
Hello to all! :good:
It is the following: I have a Ideos X5 (not-pro) from a friend who tried to install a rom that is not made for this phone.
When trying to flash the rom (which was made for another phone), it stuck at boot (Huawei's logo).
Whenever you connect your phone gets stuck in the symbol of Huawei.
:crying:
On the mobile phone:
Is routed;
Do not have custom partition;
Can only access the pinkscreen;
Can't access the recovery;
I wonder if there is any way to fix it and if so what ...
I've seen the tutorial Blefish (here) and was wondering if I can use ...

If your friend installed a rom not meant for this phone, it might happen the /system or /boot images were installed to wrong place, messing up the phone. It would be a great help if you would link the rom your friend tried to install so I could see what is messed up.
If you can access pink screen, do you have the image/ folder with the boot.img and recovery.img?
By the way, if it is stuck on boot image, does it say anything in the PC? Like a device connected?

I think he tried to port a rom from Galay Ace and failed...
When i plug the phone in the PC (win7 - ultimate - 32bits) he try to install the drivers and fail...
The ADB drivers can't be installed...
But when he was intalling the recovery.img he did it with one file explorer, not plugin in the phone to the computer...
answer be patient
1st of all download b516 orginal rom and try to flash it when u do that all should be fine with recovery +/- and power then connect to pc replace recovery

How?
Can u be more specific?
Sure, what I mean is that ... linux is more like android than windows for example in much cases u dont need drivers to your device also file system is alike ex4 or other not ntfs ;P ,,, its worth tryin conecting it to Linux .... all u need is be patient and dont make stupid moves like throwin phone on wall (that not helps "tested on SE P1i")
