i been googleing all daylong and no one, dont know shi*,, so good lock

maybe it was a corrupted file- download it again and then put onto card using your pc card reader. then try again..... there is a thread about what to do if you think you have bricked your device...under Dream Android Developement

I have to agree with the corupted file because you really are not able to brick the phone unless there was a failed install on the bootloader, at least from what I have seen and you would not be doing this already. I would re-download the NBH file and then you should be able to flash it back to RC29.

I've only had my phone a couple of weeks and I kept running into corrupt or missing files and some tutorials that were incomplete. I went here http://i.gizmodo.com/5146797/how-to-hack-android-for-multitouch-web-browsing-on-the-t+mobile-g1 and used every file they had / linked to. Now I not only have multitouch, but I am wifi tethering on 3g while I'm typing this. A couple things I found all caps for DREAIMG.NBH and it helps if you know a little dos/linux.

System- os fail
ok i am semi retarded and cannot figure this out. I have tried downloading multiple different files for the rc29 downgrade that i need to root my phone. Everytime i do it always fails at system. the bootloader is ok, the recovery is ok, boot is ok, and splash1 is ok but it always fails at system.
I have done all the proper step in formatting to FAT32. Now i cannot go anywhere but to try and update the DREAIMG.nbh or to the red green blue and white screen. PLEASE HELP WHAT DO I DO. I CAN'T GO WITHOUT A PHONE AND I DIDNT GET MY G1 THROUGH TMOBILE SO THEY WONT HELP ME OUT EITHER! IM DESPERATE, SOMEONE HAS GOTTA KNOW WHAT TO DO!

Unbrick U8800 with Odin?

Hi there!
I have bricked my phone and it is in "download" mode.
Is there a way to "bring it back" with Odin?
Thanks!
M.

Did they repaired your phone for the second time? If not, what did they said? What did you do in the first place that you bricked it?
Sent from my Ideos X5

Still waitin'
Nobody called me, don't know what's happening with my phone.
Get back here when new info available.

People still doesn't read. I said that it is bricked! Cannot install anything on.
Brgds

What do you mean by download mode? if you turn it on with vol up and down and power held, what happens?
Try put stock rom (2.3 or 2.2 depending on what was on phone before) in dload folder on sd card and it might flash firmware off that.

If you're on download mode then you can upload a recovery an boot image. Do it and use that to flash any rom you want.

I appreciate people trying to help. But sometimes it is good to stay quiet. So please, don't reply with funny suggestions.
Thanks.

Hello;
What, exactly, is "download mode"?

For someone how's in need of help, you should take it easy on the atitude and provide more info for those sparing a moment of their lives to try to help you out, no?

I am just trying to say that sometimes it is better to no reply at all.
If i said that the telephone is bricked and only in download mode you should know what does it mean before you reply. That's all. No hard feelings.

Try using a FAT32 formatted sdcard, with nothing in it but the dload folder with a stock ROM.
Couple days ago, I deleted all files from my U8800's FAT32 and EXT4 partitons - yes, even the 'image' folder, connected to my Linux box.
Because I wanted to revert to stock Froyo, i dumped back partition 5, from a backup I did some months ago - but this part is not relevant.
Formatted the card, dumped the dload folder into it, with a card reader; removed the battery and followed the procedure described in your link.
First try, it displayed some error message - can't remember - second try it showed up the pink screen, followed by the blue screen and initiated the ROM flashing. My phone is now fine and dandy... Oh, it rebooted three times after installing stock Froyo, so don't be alarmed when you get there.
Cheers
Good luck

I tried all you mentioned 30 X and more then that But no success
Btw: if you dumped back your partition from backup you had access to internal memory ... i don't have that connection neither on Ubuntu or Windows. I got pink screen but it is in "Download mode" only.
Thanks.

Can you explain me how did you get your Huawei u8800 enter in Download mode if it's a feature of some samsung smartphones to work with odin ?
You're being a little rude for those who're tryin' to help you, you should be more polite ma friend...
You didn't even say what rom were you using... so I guess you don't even deserve any help from anybody.
Peace

I've had download mode on my previous Android device - LG GT540. All it needed to enter such mode was to remove the battery, SIM and sdcard , and plug the USB cable. It would enter download mode and allow a stock ROM to be flashed with the standard LG update tool.
Actually, I dumped partition 5 back to the phone prior to erasing every file system in it, and indeed had pink screen mode access in order to do it...
Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I've installed some custom ROM and after reboot it stopped to boot in HUAWEI logo. And that was it. I have tried to install official ROM's all of them with standard methods (dload folder) but every time ends in step 2/2 (installation failed or something like that). I opened up new thread with that few weeks ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466953
This thread was supposed to answer my question at the top. And some guys did. I don't know how can thread be closed by the author. I've try to find it but with no success.
I appreciate people like to help. But if people don't know what i am asking why answering and asking questions that are answered in many threads before.
You see .. this thread should be as small as possible but ends with looong explanations which doesn't help at all
Peace.

[Q] V2.3 upgrade error and wifi error

Hello,
yesterday i upgraded my x5 u8800 pro from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 (Kernel V2.6.35.7 and U8800V100R001C00B526G001) after 2-3 tries. After i switched on my phone i noticed that my wifi isn't working. I searched many forums and i saw that other people had the same problem too with v2.3.5. I tried everything but i can't fix it.
Another problem is that i can't upgrade my phone from 2.3.5 to 4.0. After many tries i managed to start the procedure of step 1 (format the sd card put the dload file in and press - + and power on). Most of the times after pressing the 3 buttons AT THE SAME TIME my freaking phone simple opens and asks for my PIN. Any ideas?

I have the same problem on the same phone. Did you solve your problem, because I would like to use your more then 1 year long searching for the answer. I also at the begining of the search blamed my SD card. I have sleepless nights, but no idea brought me solution of the problem.

Not Oversea
As I know , this firmware is not Oversea. Oversea Normal fw is: U8800V100R001C00B521_Oversea_Normal . This happened to me. No WiFi anymore. How could I revert this installation from B526G001 to 2.2.2(stock ROM). From there to 2.3.5 Oversea Normal and then ICS.
The main problem for me is how to return to stock ROM?
Thanks.

did u guys check ur wifi mac adress? go to settings about phone status. if it's 00:00:00:00:00 then u need to change it with a terminal emulator (requires root)

I suceeded
I was warned to choose ROM for 2.3 , which ends with 512. I took ROM
U8800Pro V100R001C00B512G001(Gingerbread) Firmware has to be 512!!!!
The most important advice for me was
Make a “dload” directory on SD card root directory , Copy the “Step 1\
dload\UPDATE.APP” and “Step 1\ dload\UPDATE_g.APP” to SD card
“dload\UPDATE_g.APP[”.
I copied UPDATE.APP to SD card in dload folder but didn't rename the file into UPDATE_g.APP!!!! I didn't understand the instructions corectly.
After that Settings/Storage/Software Upgrade
The next step is without renaming UPDATE.APP.
I didn't need step 3, because I don't speak Chineese.
After that relevation everything went smoothly and problemless.
After that upgrade to 4.0 went ok without any problem.

I did it

btw I had the same exact problem but with SM-T210 Tab
nothing work at all. I hope if anyone can help me>
I think it might need touch driver as they mention here. but I don't know how to fix it.
or shall I send it to warranty, and if I send it to warranty do you think they might consider it out of warranty or not?
