[ROM Patch] Flash 4.x Rom on 2.x Base - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

If you wanna stay on GB and don't update to ICS so you can flash CM10 or CM10.1 with this patch you can flash i think any rom based on ICS to GB base...
The process is very easy
1)You have to be on GB base check your baseband,you need 404020
2)Reboot to CWM and make the proper wipes
3)Flash the ICS based rom like you do until now *DON'T REBOOT*
4)After flashing gapps or not flash this patch
5)Then reboot
This is not 100% sure that the rom you will flash will work properly with this patch try and see!!!

I want to do the opposite thing..lol any way to use GB without flashing official GB again?

Yes you can! I did this when i went back to CM7 from cuvetto JB.
Just flash the zip with the GB rom and then flash the file to install the 404020 baseband, done. ( vice versa from GB to ICS or JB just flash the rom and then the 404029 baseband zip, wich i suppose is the file provided by pika in this guide )
( i found the zip file for 404020 and 404029 baseband here somewere in the forum, but now i do not find them anymore. so i am uploading those for who needs them)
404029 baseband ICS or JB zip
404020 baseband GB zip

This patch is working great, thanks to pika ... :beer:
I just return back to Stallion from Rittik's CM10 v2.0 .
I appreciate Rittik's work, but this rom is not for me , the only think which is good is only it's beauty and nothing else.
I'm so sorry but i'm very disappointed with cm10, i thought it was better according the posts from other guys.
Anyway now i have my opinion ...
Regards ...

Dont flash those the changes on GB to ICS it isnt only on 5-10 library files...all other folder in root where do you think they came??we flash only /system/ but there are hundred more files in the phone!!
The proper way to go to GB from ICS is to flash step2 from official GB and from GB to ICS step1 and step2

We really can flash roms on GB base too without this patch but the problem is it messes up the baseband and the netowork stuffs like no cellular network and 3G. Else all works flawlessly. So u can manually change baseband and try without using patch too..i never did try tho..i just flashed some 2.3 based Miui on My CM10 as base and had the network issues..

Nope. I can flash horse2.2 and go to cm10 straight away. However, it's smarter to not do that

DO NOT USE IT ...
We don't change baseband like that ...
Follow the correct procedure to upgrade and downgrade.
This patch works for some roms, but not for all.

[Q] [q] cm9/ics/gapps - defy+ 2.3.6 kernal

[Q] hello sir,
Do own Defy+2.3.6 (ryt now using MS2Ginger 3 by walter79 ), want to use CM9/ICS, downloaded zip CM9-NIGHTLY-120112-Defy+.zip & CM9 kernel. kindly suggest proper installation procedure and info abt the ics gapps versions which one to use. i dont want to use other kernal rather than 2.3.6 can i flash CM9 on stock rom
waiting for ur humble replies ☻thanks in advance☻
God bless you All.
Why don't you want to use the Froyo kernel? I wouldn't use this nightly. You can't even phone with it! If you have BL6, flash the BL6-SBF with Froyo-kernel.
Don't use the flashlight until you flashed the CM7-kernel, you could burn it with the Chinese kernel of this SBF.
Then root the phone with the latest SuperOneClick and (after backup) follow my instructions here. Use the latest CM9-zip, ICS-Google-apps and the CM7-kernel(NOT the CM9-kernel) instead of the zips in that post. If you want to have the Motorola-Bootlogo back, also flash the attached Red_M_Logo.zip, or use my CM9-Bootlogo.zip. Flash the CM9-Music.zip if you want to use the new CM9 music app (it's very good, i can recommend it).
If you have BL7, i would wait until eppy makes a build for the Defy+ kernel.
thanks for your replies,
please let me know checking battery version ( bl5,bl6,bl7 ),my defy mfg. date is dec 2011 , details on battery HF5X, b052r984-1001, model L-L-L- DC111109.
and CM9 GB kernel is available so why not to use it, hope u clear my mind.

defy + wont be able to get update of 4.0 do not even try for this
I have a Defy+ with CM9/ICS, it works!
i think i try flashing it on my stock rom... i think eppsy build for gb builds hope no downgrading is required i guess any suggestions and recommendations are welcome.
WHAT VERSION HAVE YOU FLASHED ?
I mean which build are you using with Defy+ ?
i am using stock 2.3.6 and i tried
stock/cm 7.2 nightly.
stock/ics latest builds
works well but no network on second booted rom doesnt get any network ( no EMIE )
hope some one fix this soon or some one did let me know

Did you try using basebandswitcher? Just to search for a frequency similar to your stock baseband? I think you did because default ms2ginger baseband definitely isn't what you seem to be running on stock 2.3.6...
Oh, and btdubs I think Mister Ypsilon is right about using froyo kernel builds for CM9. Your nightly doesn't seem to be too stable.
*EDIT
Oh and veeranna don't forget, BL version (BL5/6/7) is not your battery version. It's the version of the bootloader, and it is very important when it comes to downgradeability.
search it up, I don't do a very good job of explaining bootloader stuff.
Its awesome but lil buggy
I did it! Installed Froyo SBF, rooted, 2nd init, then CM9 for Defy, CM7 kernel, slept at 5A.M :O and bingo there was a pretty stable ICS but without camera! After playing around with it for few hours.. Tested NFS Shift, Angry Birds and everything was smooth as butter except that there was no Camera due to which I restored it back using a full SBF flash and my Nandroid backup
Can be used if you don't need a camera..!
I have a Defy+ flashed with stock 2.3.6 SBF en.asia
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20097916&postcount=3
Check this it is working fine. Tested on my moto after a full fresh Defy+ 2.3.6 SBF flash.
There are more stable roms built by quarx and epsylon3 in the defy development thread. Camera works and camcorder works for some users. These devs are geniuses.

[Q] [HELP] Downgrading to froyo kernel WIUI

I've really searched everywhere but it's too complicated and i can't seem to find a solution.
So, my issue is that i have installed the ICS CM9 with GB kernel, but i want to install the WIUI 2.4.20 Stable (GB) version that is based on MiuiAndroid 2.3.7 (GB).
I am assuming it requires the Froyo kernel, and if so, i need to somehow downgrade it to froyo before installing it, but i don't know hot to do it...
can anyone please help me?
Also the kernel version of my rom is "2.6.32.9-g21f1a48"

as far as i remember 32 is froyos kernel..(35 is gb's kernel)
so what is the problem???
Numbers are the same I thought. If you flashedthe gingerbread kernel from the recovery, just search for the froyo kernel zip (there is one on epsy's site) and flash it with the froyo based ROM.
Don't forget to wipe.

[Q&A] About Roms,Recoveries,Kernels and...

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?

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.

If you want to install CM7 (.32) you need to downgrade to froyo but if you want (.35) you can install it over Aurora.
Sorry but can I ask why to revert back to froyo from Aurora?

That would not work.
Find official froyo
Unzip it and put into your sdcard like /dload/update.app
Close your phone.
Press vol+ vol- and power and keep until update screen.
After the successful froyo downgrade root it.
Copy cwm
Install cm7.
That simple.

There are atleast three dev topics in the forum. One from genokolar and if i am not wrong there is a kernel dev for ezet's cm7.2 .32 by Paul*.
But... All of them are onhold or ended dev. And they all have bugs. So. What i am trying to say is if you want bug free cm7 then you should try ezet's .32

Sorry, for late answer...I didn't see any major differences...actualy I was more pleased with aurora, but I always got atleast 2 reboots a day on Aurora, so thah is the reason I tried CM7.
Now I have one more question...How do I get to stock GB now? I changed recovery.img when I was installing CM7, so do I need to change recovery.img to stock, and then "update" with official GB, or can I just directly "update" to official GB without changing recovery.img to stock before?

[Q] Confirming the need to downgrade before Aurora -> CM7.2?

I was just reading the guide on installing CM7.2, as my current rom (Aurora ICS), although good, is pretty unstable and buggy on my handset.
I noticed the guide specifically mentions I need to downgrade to official Froyo before trying to install CM7.2.
I have obviously already got CWM on there, so I just want to clarify if I still need to downgrade to an official Froyo rom, or can I just install CM7.2 over the top of my Aurora ICS?
Thanks.
