U8800 died !!

Hello, my u8800 just died..
i got a blue screen a couple of time and had to pull the battery.
now it is completely dead... ? how so?
it was running MIUI just fine and i just rebooted it and got a blue screen..

What happens if you press and hold Vol+,Vol- and Power?
Can you still get into Bootloader?
Bluescreen usually wipes the Bootloader, but you can fix that if you can still access it...
In case you lost all the data in Bootloader (pink screen), format the partition with FAT32, create a folder called "image" and copy the following files on there.
EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v
Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac
Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97
If you can't access the Bootloader (pink screen), I'm afraid it's going back to warranty.

same thing happened to mine, still trying to fix it. managed to flash CWM recovery like that but now factory reseting leads me no where, of course, and restoring a backup from the sd didn't work either, all i get is a bootloop.
i'm so very lost please help, tell me what you need to know to help me

DON'T factory reset or restore a backup! Once you've had a blue screen, you CAN'T restore or factory reset a Rom.
You should flash a custom Rom directly. Just copy the Oxygen.zip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u8800oxygen/files/) in the root folder of the SD card and then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
Flash the new Rom by Selecting "install zip from SD" and select the Oxygen.zip archive, the installation process does everything else.

Thanks GOD!
It was completely dead, but when i wake up this morning i got it on with bluescreen again, hooked it up with my pc and copied the files u linked.
now it seems MIUI is booting fine again!
but how come it got wiped in the first place?

Not sure to be honest...It's some sort of miscommunication between bootloader and Rom (kernel) and Huawei designed a fail-over mechanism that wipes the bootloader (screen becomes blue when this happens).
Anyway, glad to hear that you got it going again.

wow thanks katu2006 xD I just realised how stupid I was
you see this whole thing happened, I think, because I tried formatting a NTFS sd card I put in the phone. I wanted to put files bigger than 4GB in it...
so when I got the blue screen and then managed to boot into CWM recovery, all I had to do was flash a ROM, I knew that, but my internal sd card was wiped clean and I couldn't access it in my PC when I plugged the phone. then I just figured I should get another sd and put MIUI in it and then stick in the phone LOL it's working fine now, thanks a lot

Glad to hear that you problem was resolved as well.

I have the same problem with my U8800. And I follow your direction and I can log in to the Miui rom, but it has the notification "Blank SD card or unsupported file system" and ask me to format the SD card. But when I format the SD card, it change into the blue screen again in the next reboot time. What should I do.

OK, you should copy the SD Card contents to your computer, format it with FAT32, copy the folders back and then try to boot in Recovery and reinstall Miui again.

I also had such a problem. And as in your situation, my solution was to copy those files into 'image' folder. Though, blue-screen-trouble is still actual and we have to blame only huawei-guys
Is your IMEI allright? after some of theese operations, I had mine nulled.

OK, you should copy the SD Card contents to your computer, format it with FAT32, copy the folders back and then try to boot in Recovery and reinstall Miui again.

I beg to differ - for me when I had a blue screen yesterday - tried everything other than reflash. In the end I pushed a clockworkmod backup to the internal sd card via adb, did a restore and problem solved.

U8800 bricked and no access to pink screen

I have a U8800 Pro with the original 2.2.2 kernel.
I attempted today to update to 2.3.5 so that then I could take it to the newly released 4.0.3.
All these were done with the official Huwaei ROMs. (U8800%2B Android 2.3 V100R001C00B572G001)
I did a factory restore before I started the whole process just to be on the safe side as well.
Unfortunately during the second step of the process after the reboot the phone remains in the "Unpacking - Update Failed" state
I cannot go into the pink screen mode. I tried with removing the battery as well but even though I attempt to boot with Volume + power key pressed it still goes straight to the update process and the obvious error. Obviously I cannot access the internal SD card from my PC (does not show up on dmesg) so I can at least delete the dload directory
Is there a way to bypass this problem and go to pink screen mode ?
If I use an external SD card and put a ROM on that will it boot from that or it will still first access the internal SD card ?
Thanks is advance for any answers.

Try to put dload folder on a external sd and update again. I guess you cant access recovery right?

Try to turn on the phone in pink screen (Download Mode) without the SD CARD, I use that trick when the same problem attack my phone.

Yeah it worked.
Used an external SD card to do the update and to phone booted without any trouble.
It seems the update file on the internal SD card must have been corrupted or not transferred correctly.
Still the inability to access to pink screen was quite scary. Serves me right for using the internal storage for something like this.

OK

[Q] bricked, cant recover on pink screen, not recognising update.app?

Hi guys, getting kinda desperate here, appreciate any advice.
I've been mucking around with my phone trying to install some of the mod roms from here, but always get stuck in an endless reboot sequence or on the 'huawei' screen. Havent been able to get CM10.1 or 7 installed and working.
I have followed the instructions, including the partition size mod....
This is not my current issue, however, just the background.I was at a loss so after giving up last night I tried to copy b162 to my sd card, but was read only for some reason - showed up as CD rom on my PC.
Out of desperation I formatted the sd (in CWM) and tried again, but couldnt even get CWM, only pink or blue screen.
Pink screen I tried copied recover.img to the one available drive on my PC (windows), no luck. It copies over, but will not enter CWM with vol up + power.
Went out and bought a card reader this AM, have tried to install the stock roms B162 and B136.
I can copy the .app files to the SD card (root/dload), but my phone when going to pink screen does not start updating, just stays in pink screen.
Have formatted the card in windows (fat32) checked for errors etc. Does anyone know if the 'allocation file unit' during formatting makes a difference? I have left it as standard at 32kb....
The current rom boots as far as the animated huawei (splashing stars thing) logo then cycles.
Cant get shell access with ADB on pink or blue screen.
Never really used linux but Im willing to try anything to save my phone.
I have some experience with microcontrollers and think there are some jtag pads on the back of the phone that might be useful but am reluctant to try this as I fear I will make things worse....
Many thanks in advance!

To add ? volume label important?
Just managed to get into the stock recovery screen, selected 'apply update from sdcard and got reply 'failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory).
I cant swap out the recovery.img file in the purple screen, I dont have acess to that part of the memory from purple screen, perhaps wrong version of android on previous install?
Was wondering if volume label should be something? I just left it blank, and have tried again as 'sdcard' still no luck.
Thanks again....
OK I did a factory reset from within the stock recovery sftward (couldnt even get this before) and it will now boot heh.
Oh well, thanks for listening! Will have another crack at aurora now =)

I cant see my system or anything. 1-2 years ago i could see my system.And i connect to pc, there is only one parttion. 1-2 years ago there were 2, one of internal sd other one is phone memory.
Please help me to solve this. And i mneed a rom that is only fast and using battery nicely.

Thanks rqmok. You are a great helpful person. You are trying to help me for days.
I went into pink screen. It automatically went update (i had put dload to stockr room update ,). Then i tried to open but still rebooting without oğenning.
So i went into rewcovery but i saw that it is android recovery, not cwm i installed. So i tried a lot of tgihngs.Then i installed aurora v20, but ittis interesting, i opened phone after that insstallation. It shows 2.3.5 rom, stock rom original rom.
I did not understand that.
And my flash again doesnot work. Should i give this back to the repairman to solve?

PLease looık my pictures.
pic 1 shows my first original screen. It was cracked under door and there were a lot of scratchs on phone screen. When i opened phone ,i could see scracths. So i bought from eb ay and gave a repairer. He made it. I dont know if it was well.
Then i put my foot on it slowly, but it again cracked. But i could not see scratchs. When i opened the phone, i could only see light not scratchs. So igave to same repairer without buying a screen. Pic 2 shows my 2. screen that came from ebay, there are no sctracts.
Now , my flash is not working and torch. I tried in a lot of roms. IT is not about software i think. And i have to press a lot of times to enable phone.
What do you say about that?

OK. Please tell me the state of your phone right now. What ROM do you have? What recovery do you have?

I am in loop. I cant open phone so it goes into pink screen, but updating from sd card. Then it again cant be opened . So i go into android recovery and flash aurora or cyangemod it doesnot matter. Sometimes it doesnot see , doesno mount. Then it restarts and 2.3.5 stock rom. But after 1-2 restarts, i cant again open, huawei logo only appears and restarts alot of times. So i again go nito pink screen because if i go into recovery, it cant mount. Fİrstly should update.
Without sd card, i went into pink screen but my computer could not see the files.

You can't view your sdcard files from pink screen.
If you are able to install a ROM and make it work then that will be good. But, you have said that this happened after replacing the screen. So, if you can open the phone and check for any disconnected cables that need to be reconnected then you should fix them. There should be a video on YouTube on how to do this. If you cannot do it then you will have to get it repaired.

I dont have screwdriver, i have 3mm, it doesnot work.
But after screen replacement, i used aurora for 7-8 days. Then i thought partition was wrong and deleted wiped. Now but i cant install a rom. İ nstall aurora but it opens 2.3.5 with pink screen.
What size screwdriver do i need?

Now in android recovery i wiped daya, wip cache and then restarted, then trierd to update on pink scrteen, it gave error. So again wiped datya. Now i could open it. it shows 2.3.5. İf i restart, it will be deleted again i guess. What should i do? Wİthout power off, update? I will try to install cwm

I tried to replace recoveryimg but i failed. Because ihad to install superuser, so it rebooted and phone again cant boot up, restarting a lot of times. I dont understand what the reason is

Again, i did revocery android, wipe data and cache , then rstarted. After a few boots, 2.3.5 opened. Then i again restarted and now it is trying to start again 10. times. I n my ext sd, there are dload and other zips, that can be reason? I dont want to delete those because if i delete, it will be hard for me to insatall those files
Now it is restarted, huaewi logo appears, then pink and colurful fireworkds, than black svcreen and contunes....

After wipping, i restart and it is fine, i could go into 2.3.5. But when i again restart, smetimes it again opens but as soon as desktop opening, it starts to begin,
android stops working
calendar stops working
a lot of windows. I click end activity but it repeats alot of times.
So, my original stcok is damaged or what?

I'm sorry I didn't reply for some time.
So, apps are force closing. Do you have system partition installed? Did you try going back to stock-partition?
Please try going back to stock partition, and if you can get logcat then please upload it here.
Thanks.

Not only apss, android system also huawei etc. I cant even click restart button to restart phone because of popups windows.
So when i click restart, sometimes it open 3. times but still apps closing, then restarting and cant show huawei logo. and botoing up in inifinite loop.
Stock partition, i will try but i wont be able to do it. I donthave cwm and in android recovery i t doesnot accept, cant mount sd card. I can only go into android recover, can only do wipe data cache, cant mount anything. Theen only can restart and sometimes i try to update in pink screen but failed in half of 1/2. So, how can i go to stock partition without restarting phone while open?
I think the 2.3.5 rom i downloaded (Portugal or Korean i dont remember) is can be damaged or wrong. But i think i cant change that too. I am locked.

What i should do, i dont know.

Still cant do. I go into android recovery, wipe data and then after 2-3 restart, it boots. Then if i restart, there are a lot of windows appear showingstop activities. So, i put first 2.3.5 then ginger bread custom app to dload in ext and int sd. Then after wiping in android recovery , i made power off and with + - and power, i made update. This time updates were successfull. It could make updates. But after updates, again could not start. After loading huawei logo, it restarts.
I cant change recovery because i cant install superuser because it should be restarted but if it is restarted, cant start.
I can only use sd card, after wiping data, until one restart .
Please help.
