[HELP] Restoring of brick Huawei U8800

Restoring of brick Huawei U8800.
All do at your own risk! I am not responsible for your machines!
Today I was able to magically (just wonderful, because it found the time at which there is a chance to run the update) to recovery from a brick Huawei U8800 (corrupted bootloader + recovery not run + in a pink screen not mounted hard drive + when trying to update the written Update failed! I spoke to a service center, they said the warranty is not the case and we must change the motherboard (the cost of 3-4 million BYR, new at the MTS salon cost 2.9 million BYR )
What and how I did:
1) To restore I'am using the firmware B162 Android.
2) Format the micro SD card that was clean (I was 8 gb, 2 class and be sure to FAT 32) and unpack "dload" folder and ".txt" file(with a strange name) from the downloaded archive to sdcard.
P.S. I say that not all flash drives can operate restore, I have like three went, normally only one.
3) Insert the micro SD into the phone and pull out the battery.
4) Hold down the Volume (+) and power up, hold and connect the phone via cable to your PC, your phone will be switched on and the logo appear, then turned off my phone (missing logo). So, when the logo will disappear (ie the phone will turn off) and immediately hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and power up.Main that the updating process can start only one time after the logo was gone, if after a few times in a row press both the volume keys and power up, updating does not start, it is necessary to re-clamp the volume (+) and the power up, after the disappearance of the logo, both the volume and the power up of ... I have to go to the upgrade process if you wrote "Update failed!", try again (I went with 2 times).
5) After a successful update, the phone will reboot, on reboot he should loaded the standard blue recovery.
6) Turn off the phone from the computer, insert the battery, hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and turn on, wait until you get a pink screen, release the button and connect it to your computer. You should see a new device and to define a disk drive with a folder "image". If we define - rejoice!) If not, then you need to install the driver on the internet enough to the driver, as well as the wood in my going to the Android SDK, not sure ...
7) Thus, we can assume the phone repaired) Download recovery 4.0.0.5 and unpack the archive and copy the file "recovery.img" to a folder "image" with the replacement. A man does not 4.0.0.5 recovery loaded, it is strange, but recovery 5.0.2.7 normally loaded
8.) Disconnect the phone from the computer, pull out / insert the battery and try to enter the recovery (volume (+) and power up).
9) If set, then everything is OK and can now be sewing. I still put 2.2 Geno v8.4 + software package from Google, but I recommend again read all instructions on the firmware, to avoid problems!
Good luck, hope that helped someone, he sat on the forums more than one day, but have not found a solution.
If someone has turned out, a sign of gratitude you can throw money on my phone +375297176005 (MTS, Belarus), would be very grateful
P.S.
Instructions is my and it's my first, that do not copy and paste, you can search the Internet. Do not judge strictly, if something is not designed ...
If there are people who helped, I think you can throw his hat in the description. My message is also present in our 4pda.
Hope springs eternal
Sorry for my english, I'm from Belarus and bad know it

Hello, I have a problem after changing recovery.img. Now after power on only error message: Image signature verify fail. Your boot/recovery image may have an incorrect signature. Please update your image to a signature official one. You can remove battery for power down.
When I get to pink screen - no disk appears in my PC. Please, what can I do now?

Just thought I would mention it, if you connect the pink screen to Ubuntu/Linux, it will most likely mount.

Just tried this recovery method on a bricked U8800. Didn't do anything at all. Must admit that it was bricked in a way that i didn't see anything at all on the screen. Neither did i notice anything in dmesg on a linux machine.

Help

[Q] Huawei U8800 Pro Hard Brick

Hello, Guys, Its my first post here, so i allready sorry for my bad English.
I have a big problem with my phone, the this is that when i try to turn it on huawei logo appears and after ~5 seconds it dissapears and nothing happens, phone just turns off. I also cant get acces to CMW. Al i can do is to go to pink screen mode. I also tyed to put dload folder with updates to sdhc card, but when i am trying to load i with 3 buttons combination (VOL +- + power on button), pink screen appears... What should i do in this situation? Maybe anyone had faced this problem, and how have you solved it?
Again sorry for my poor English , and thanks for your help

Looks like your boot and recovery partitions were messed up
Can u access ur fastboot mode?
If u can, try to flash a cwm recovery image using fastboot mode
Sent from my HAL

I cant acces anything exept pink screen. When i put dload folder to sd card update also doesnt start. Is there any way to acces internal memoty through pink screen?

Fastboot (or bootloader mode) is the one that stays (in ur case) at the huawey logo until it receives a command to reboot. Using it, adb and a pc, u can flash img's to the internal memory (among other things)
Try pressing and holding for 2/3 seconds this combo
Hang up button + power
Sent from my HAL

As i said before it doesnt help. I cant acces CWM. (bootloader)

Sorry, i was thinking on other phone. The pink screen is ur bootloader
Try this
" Installing ClockworkMod on the Huawei U8800
1) Extract the recovery.img from the zip file. 2) Turn on your phone while holding VOL+ and VOL- (should come up with pink/purple screen) 3) Connect to computer. 4) Go to My Computer and Browse your phone to find the folder with recovery.img in. 5) Replace the recovery.img with the one you extracted from the zip file.
Or this onehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14870348

Tryed both. Same problem persists

just in case you can´t get it fixed,
see my sig.....

i do have the same issue, please someone help me

Zenfone 5 stuck on intel inside logo

Hello all, please help me !!!
i have problem, my zenfone 5 stuck on "intel inside" logo. i already test with xFSTK application, but the result still same (Back to intel inside logo).
Sorry my english is bad. Thank's before

Hey buddy,
Download the stock firmware 2.22.40.44. Extract recovery.img from the file. Also download other firmwares after this update. Now turn off your phone. Now turn on by pressing vol+ button and power button at the same time. Now flash the recovery.img. Now turn off the mobile and enter recovery mode by pressing vol - and power button at the same time. Wait till recovery mode comes up. Now if you see no command screen or just an exclamatory mark press vol - and + at the same time amd hold for 5 seconds. Now factory reset once.Now you'll see few options. Now in your pc place all the rom zip files in the fastboot folder. Now select update via adbsideload option. Now first sideload 2.22.40.44 using the command (sideload ROMNAME.zip). As soon as it completes turn off the phone return to recovery mode and sideload other firmwares till 2.22.40.54. Now turn on the phone. Wait till it loads up. Now if you want to update to lollipop, copy the lollipop rom files into internal sd card. Now disconnect data cable. It'll ask for update. That's it. Think this'll help you.

What's your build number what version of supersu did you try to flash?
Shutdown your device, put your current build onto 'dload' folder in the sdcard and press the following key combo: POWER, VOL-UP & VOL-DOWN, it should enable automatic update process

Shut it down amd press those 3 keys combo.. upon seeing Huawei Logo and vibration, release the Power key while holding the other 2... That ought to do it

Man, your phone is badly bricked. If you don't have at least access to fastboot, then you're screwed.

Good for me to I have the same problem. I was trying to get to stock ( I have made it several times), but the last time was a fail... The whole process of sending firmware was ok. then a reboot and brick.
Now the huawei screen and the short vibration appears and shutdown.
I was trying everything.
In device manager the phone is displayed as mobile devices \ volume f:\ (drive letter)
in connected devices the phone is detected as
hi6210sft
Phone is not detected in fastboot or ADB.

I met this problem yesterday(I hope the identical ). Because I have two booting animations, one from Vodafone, I guess I shutdown early during installation. It just froze. Then it didn't boot and stock recovery didn't help
My solution needs some recovery software like twrp. Press three buttons at the same time until twrp mode. Copy zip file for SuperSU to phone or sdcard, then flash it. After that my phone works again.
You mentioned that you cannot start recovery. Try more. After installing twrp, starting it is quite annoying. Sometimes it just doesn't start or stock recovery starts. An alternative way is to go to whatever mode, and try adb or fast boot to reboot to recovery. Pressing button requires techniques which j don't have

I can't enter TWRP non combination is working for me. Installing firmware using dload from sd card also.

okay if non of these worked you can try flashing the whole update.app file by fastboot..
tools you will need
1- download the official huawei firmware from the official site
2- download Huawei Update Extractor
3- download minimal adb and fastboot
check the unbricking chapter of this thread
Note: to get in fastboot make sure you connected your phone to computer and press the vol down and power down buttons.. if none of these worked your phone is hard bricked .-. .. try opening the phone and reconnecting the battery worked with someone
if you need any help just pm me or replay on this thread hope that help you

Ok thx. I have already opened the phone to reconnect the battery
And then I was trying the combinations;
Battery connected vol- +power - Huawei logo and vibration and shutdown, no fastboot
Battery disconnected, vol-+power and connecting cable to phone - the same
Battery disconnected combination vol + vol - + ppwer, with sd card dload, the same
Battery connected combination vol + vol - power, sd card dload, the same
Any other suggestions?
The phone is recognized in Windows in device manager as mobile device as volume with a letter, I cant change the drivers to the right ones. I can't enter the storage it's unrecognized format.

Any other suggestions?

it is easy to suggest others.. I too advised you.. but today i am facing the same problem...
what I tried:
Reinstalling the same ROM using dload method
Upgrading to other ROM (using both dload and flashing 4 image method)
Downgrading
Restoring from the backup
At one point, the phone booted up all well except the Wifi Module... So I flashed another ROM and stuck again...

the worst thing that I don't have any connection to fastboot Each firmware installation method fails

yes, mine too... or I could say flashing succeeds but there's some problem with the boot partition... will get my phone today from the Customer Care and try again (if they can't repair).
you can try removing the back cover and unplugging the battery... that is one of the few things I will do today as I get my phone back..

ok made it back.. just flashed the boot.img from b594 (the one I was using when my mobile got bricked)... somehow made it back. But now I am having a problem with the battery. It doesn't charge when the device is switched on, only when the device is switched off... will see for few days, if there's problem will take it back to service centre again

I have already removed back cover and was trying to reconnect the battery to do clear run. But the only thing is discovered in windows is a driver for storage and I can't change the driver to ADB or FASTBOOT
Now I have connected phone w PC on adb devices I see only emulator-5554 device. In Device manager I see the storage as a Mobile Device.
Nope it was Bluestacks

Switch off your device and then connect it to PC but just hold the volume- key.. that should get you in fastboot mode... I did that and then flashed the boot.img of the current ROM. This should boot it up...

Nope it doesn't work I was trying it already

Lenovo Tab4 8 plus / Tb-8704x only recovery menu

OK so hi guys,
after I tried, search, read tons of stuff, I finally decided to post a thread because I have no clue what else I could do.
I have have a lenovo tab4 8 plus / tb-8704x tablet by my hand and it only boots into the recovery menu like u hold volume down and power.
1. I don't know what happened to it before, I got it like it is.
2. If u plug in powe supply the red led blinks and u can only power it on by holding power for around 10 seconds, then the lenovo logo -> then recovery menu
3. Also If I hold down volume down and power it on it boots into the test app, to test if all stuff works.
4. In the test app I tested the volume buttons and recognized the up button had no response, so I took it apart and measured it. And if I press volume up then I get a good reading (peep). So the volume keys both are good.
5. The I tested flash a stock rom to test if that fixed the problem. I used TB_8704X_S001025_190606_ROW from the lenovo rescue program, but if I try to flash it inside the recovery menu over SD Card it only said wrong footer, error 21.
6. So i decided to use the qfil and the base stock rom TB-8704X_S000026_170707_ROW_QFIL. And after I always get sahara error messages if I use it only windows 10, I booted up an old win xp PC installed version .460 and the Qualcomm drivers, then hold down volume up plugged in USB, clicked the right Qualcomm com port and all went well first try no errors.
7. Then I unplugged the tablet, hold down power until it reboots but still nothing only recovery menu.
That's why I decided to post here, in hope someone can help, has new ideas or something else.
I hope all is good understandable.
//edit I uploaded to images, that's what I get if I boot f.e. the latest stock rom (named as factory_update.zip) from lenovo on an fat32 formatted sd card (exfat will give error and is not been able to mount)

Update:
I also managed to update to the latest rom from lenovo. Then it boots again in recovery mode but a different error.
For testing I've put the sd card with the same lasted update file inside. Then it starts the update process again. It starts install, tries to erase and then error and it boots again and then I'm in a boot loop until I remove the SD (because the image is named factory_update.zip so it's auto starts update process)

Im pretty sure after all my testing, it's a hardware failure so, this thread can be closed.
