I've been searching for the google for Huawei X5 U8800H firmware update to Andriod 2.3.5 Gingerbread. But seems U8800H doesn't have the Gingerbread. I can't find a .35 kernel for U8800H, so when I install Aurora ICS then I can't turn it on. Just keep looping on the "Ideos" that logo. So can any professional about this phone can give me a tutorial how to upgrade my U8800H to Aurora ICS?
Currently I'm using the Cyanogenmod 7.2 .32 kernel.
Glad professional can help me out ^_^

Hey!
This is my first post here. I'm kinda new to this ( started 2 days ago ), when I came across Oxygen ROM for u8800 and gave it a try.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149150
I have CWM v5.5.0.4 and installed a .zip from sdcard, the latest one... I also wiped data, cache partition and dalvik cache, but when I rebooted the phone, it just stayed on Huawei screen ( a red flower with HUAWEI written under it ) and kept rebooting on like 5 minutes... I restored the previous rom using CWM and tried again with no success...
Can somebody help me with this? Is this happening because the ROM is not being maintained anymore, or is there any other problem? I also installed AURORA ICS 4.0.3 successfully with the same method I used with OXYGEN
I would be grateful for any help
Best Regards, Erik
if you have the official gingerbread update from huawei installed, oxygen wont work. It uses an older kernel which is based on the froyo default rom.

So does that mean: If i have upgraded my u8800 tp 2.3.5 Oxygen wont work :/
P.s.: Can you recommend any roms for my Huawei u8800 for daily use, because i'm a bit bored of the Huawei Launcher...

if you really want to use oxygen you can downgrade and re root your device/install a froyo compatible recovery and use oxygen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369296
that has the down grade instructions
and here is a link to the recovery to install any froyo kernel based rom:http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...159a3/7/8/7/4/1/2/recovery5.0.2.7_en_sys1.zip
i would personally recommend ICS Aurora for daily use its made by dzo who made oxygen port and it gets an update multiple times a week even though its perfectly stable at the moment it just keeps getting better but oxygen is a 100% stable and clean rom thats been around for a while now if thats what you are looking for

If it is just the launcher, just change it for one on the market. I am not sure how much difference there will be between official gingerbread and oxygen gingerbread. Try Aurora as suggested above or sbasil miui.us for something really different.
im on oxygen for about 6 months (is oxygen that "old" already?), and am very satisfied with it..
plan to change to aurora soon as these 2 roms are both from dzo, who is a "legend" as referred from xda's editors..
anyway i would recommend any rom from dzo as it seems that his main focus is on rom stability and cleanliness, which is what matters to daily users imho..
HI all,
Am using Defy MB525
Yesterday I tried to install ICS 4.0.3 Mar 17 build for defy+,I did factory reset and installed from SD card (ICS build,Gapps,Batteryfix),I didn’t flash any kernals like one of our forum member told, But my defy is stucked on boot logo.I tried many times but doesn’t work So again am back to 2.3.7 Version. My kernel version 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8
Why this happened to me?
What is the procedure?
If you dont know what you are doing dont install.ics is still beta its a nightly ..and is improving day by day moreover hwa 2D is still missing without it..cm9 is just a theme like Gb..i would say better stick to stock..or flash quarx defy+ cm7 nnightly..

Sorry, I've only flashed CM9 on my defy+ and I have kernel 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e etc. I't's not exactly the same, so maybe I'm wrong about not flashing the CM9 kernel! I actualy think you have froyo kernel!
EDIT: Yes, you have FROYO kernel! Go ahead and flash the CM9 kernel! Sorry
you must flash the SBF of 2.3

If you don't know what you are talking about, then just DON'T! If he flashes stock sbf 2.3, he will never be able to go back to Froyo. All he needs to do is flash the CM9 GB kernel.
As Auris told never flash 2.3 SBF until you DONT want to downgrade! What you said you did is absolutely fine. Just flash CM9GB kernel and it will work. But anyways I don't understand why would you want to flash the CM9 Defy+ ROm because Defy ROM is likely to be updated sooner and CM officialy support Defy!
My fault! In an other thread he didn't specify all those numbers after 2.6.32.9-gbdd so I thought he had gingerbread kernel and told him to flash the plus builds!

Recently I installed a custom rom (oxygen) on my Huawei X5 (U8800H) for first time and it was so easy therefore I have some questions before flashing another rom:
1. What is the difference between installing rom and force upgrade? (not in the method)
2. If I make a force upgrade (official GB for example) why I can't return to the stock rom simply by formatting the system and restore the backup rom?
3. Does the rom I want to install depend on the stock rom? If yes, How?
4. What is the best JB rom for IDEOS X5 that it is suitable for daily usage? (I have searched JB roms but I didn't find any stable rom)
5. If I flashed a rom customized for another phone on my U8800, does this brick it?(whether it is working or not)
6. If I flashed a kernel customized for another phone on my U8800 or a kernel with a version dosen't customized for the rom, does this brick the phone? Or can I change the kernel if it didn't work?
7. What is the directory of kernal's files? and dose it came with some roms? (zip rom)
In the stock rom the kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1 but in oxygen it is 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #221 dose this mean there is something changed in the kernal?
8. Roms like ICS dzo's Aurora require official update to GB , is it necessary if I flashed official GB kernal or any same version kernel?
If you can answer any question of those above, I'll be very grateful. Thanks.
Ill answer the questions i can:
3: it depends on the kernel. Froyo(2.2?) have 3.0 and gingerbread have 3.5, so you can only install 3.0 roms on a froyo phone and 3.5 roms on a gingerbread phone.
4: It isnt any stable JB roms yet but for ICS dzo's Aurora is very stable and mosterras Elora is said to be very stable to even tho i havent tryed it yet.
5: yes, it will brick if you flash a rom for another phone.
It also depends on the flavor of U8800 (plain, Pro or -51). We really need a sticky post about this at the top of this forum.
Yeah, I totally agree with you there. It's something its really easy to get wrong.

custom rom
The best is custom rom not official roms
In the official CWM 5.0.2.6 recovery I installed oxygen rom and every thing was normal but their is a problem with the official CWM recovery. When I want to restore a previous backup for the same rom or the sock one, this appears:
Code:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
1.Must I change the recovery?if yes,which one must be installed?
2.Is every rom have its customized recovery?

2. Gingerbread roms use 5.0.2.6 recovery and ICS roms use 5.5 (and 2 more numbers) recovery. So it only depends on the base of the rom you are flashing.

Can I try different recoveries (.img) to see which one would work? or it may harm the device?
Thanks

I don't think it will help changing the recovery if you are you using the same recovery for r restoring as you did when you made it, but I don't think it will harm you're device.

Is it possible to install the official gingerbread kernel on a gingerbread ROM like CM7.2 or OXYGEN? Can this speed up the phone?

It is recommended to flash roms designated with u8800-51. This prevents the least amount of alike bricks.

hi,
i want to ask who is the more stable roms for Ideos X5? (not the pro)
i want a stable and fast rom, and if it is possible not take all the battery.
for fast rom it is better to stay in android 2.3? or i can have and good results with 4.x?
the 4.x roms need more memory from the 2.3?
Thanks for any answer

Based on each version of Android:
Gingerbread - CM 7 ezet's rom
Ice Cream Sandwich- Aurora dzo's or AuroraSP (tweaked of Aurora)
Jelly Bean - CM 10 blefish's rom
My 2 cents

hi
thanks for this, i have use ezet's CM 7.2 and it is good.
I have see that you have use AuroraSP (in your signature).
How about speed and battery about ezetCM7 and AuroraSP? it is similar or not?
Also you have any idea what is wrong in my previous post?
thanks a lot
Hello, first of all you should install official 2.3 gingerbread from Huawei and root it. After that you should be able to install aurora without problem.
There is a thread on the developer section on how to install and root official Rom.

Speed is better on Aurora that's for sure and about battery i don't remember well i don't have CM7 and haven't tried anymore more than 1 year but drains a little more if you use 2G and turn off Wifi and then you can save battery.
If must have GB on your phone after that you should install any other custom roms since from CM7 to CM 10 and of course Aurora too. Remember when update from different kernel please format system, data and cache with together all 3 wipes.

i have try 5.0.2.7 and 5.0.2.8 and 5.5.0.4 but not luck.
it is working when i install CM72 but not in aurora.
i have wipe system data cache but still not luck. In the boot i have just see the huawei logo.
any idea?
If you have ezet's Rom then you are at .32 kernel and need to install official Rom first. Just read my previous post. If not then sorry..
