[Q] Huawei U8800 Can't install Aurora from 2.3GB (B528) - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hi guys, I have the Huawei U8800 and it has the Official Gingerbread (2.3.5) B528 ROM and I read that I need to have 2.3.5 to upgrade to Aurora ROM, I did root the device and installed Clockwork Mod 5.5.0.4 which is compatible with that rom. I did wipe dalvik cache, wiped user data and all that. But when I flash the rom, it gets stuck on the Huawei Boot Screen and when I turned it off and on again it installed Android 2.3.5 on its own. On the screen it said upgrade firmware step 1 out of 2, do not turn off device. Any help would be appriecated as I have searched high and low for a solution, so I did try to find someone with a similar problem but I still can't solve it.

I'm sorry, but I think you are not following the steps properly. Make sure you go through all steps thoroughly.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED CUSTOM PARTITION BUT I RECOMMEND YOU CUSTOM PARTITION YOUR PHONE SO YOU CAN INSTALL BIGGER ROMS!!! (here)
Go to my Xperia Style GB ROM (in my signature) and follow the steps there install a ROM, but use Aurora instead of my ROM.
I think the 2.3 GB ROM installs again before you still have the 'dload' folder on your sd card. The phone detects it and starts installing it again.

Wow thanks for such a quick reply, I will try to follow your steps. Thanks a lot!

Elora ROM
UPDATE: I managed to installed the Elora ROM which is based on Aurora ROM and is working just fine! Thanks. Also I tried your ROM the Sony Ericsson Themed GB and it worked also . But somehow when I used your partition guide I messed up my phones internal memory (2GB) and I cannot access it from my computer.

That doesn't mean it is messed up.
The custom partition takes memory from your internal sdcard and dedicates it to your phone's internal memory. So, your internet sdcard's memory goes from 2GB to 1.46GB, and your phone's internal memory shoots to 1.2GB. This way, you can install bigger ROMs on your phone and install more apps on your phone.
I don't know about accessing the internal sdcard from your computer because I never even tried doing it.

Ok I managed to find a program on the PC that can read the internal sd card and it worked great! The weird thing is, I installed an Updated version of the same ROM (Elora 1.7.28) and it was much more unstable than the previous version, to be frank Im trying to understand if the developer is still updating the ROM or not since it is dated from 2012.
For example, downloading apps from the market were extremely slow and when I connected the phone to the PC, the PC didn't even detect I connected my phone and apart from that, usually in android it tells you to connect your device for usb storage, Android didn't even give me that.
So I restored to a backup I made of the previous version of the ROM (Elora v1.1.10 something like that) and connected to the PC works fine, android tells me for usb storage, and downloading apps from the market is extremely fast.
Although the phone is working quite well (Elora V1.1), some games like Real Racing 3, Frontline Commando and Frontline Commando D-Day didn't work. Apart from that its working quite well. Sorry for the long text.

I don't know about all those errors because I never tried Elora. But, the developer is obviously not working on it anymore. (Don't know where the developer is )

I decided to jump ship and go back to 2.3.5 using your Xperia Style ROM, it's much much much more smooth.

remove dload folder on your internal and external sd card before flashing new rom

Yeah, in fact that did cross my mind. Yesterday I managed to repartition my card now I have ~2GB to install applications (Internal SD Card) thx guys. But I do have a problem Real Racing 3 tells me insufficient space although I do have enough space and it is installed on the internal SD Card and not the SD Card.

[RETIRED] CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4 & ClockworkMod Recovery (Updated 2010.12.11)

I have updated ClockworkMod Recovery for the G Tablet to support the internal SD card a bit better.
There is now an advanced option to partition the internal SD card. This can come in handy when the internal partitions get hosed (which seems to happen on occasion with this device). To keep it close to stock you can select a 2048MB Data Partition and the remaining ~13GB will go to the internal SD card. You also have an option to format the internal SD card space as well as mount it as /emmc. You can still format the external SD card using the existing advanced option.
This recovery still uses the external SD card as its primary mount for actions (install ROM, backup, restore, etc.). However, the recovery is configured to “fall back” to the internal SD card for these actions if (and only if) there is no external SD card available to be mounted.
As always, credit to Koush for creating ClockworkMod Recovery in the first place.
----------------------
This is the current BETA release of the CyanogenMod 6.1 port for the G Tablet. There are still several issues, but it is far enough along that I use it as my daily system. Please review issues and post new ones as needed at the Issues page linked below. Feel free to leave feedback in the forum, but I may not be able to follow up on it. The best option is to catch me in #tegratab on Freenode IRC.
CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4
CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4 - MD5
ClockworkMod Recovery
My site: bekit.net post
gapps does work, but I probably should not release that here. Just make sure it is the MDPI variety and has an update-binary compatible with tegra.
*Note:
This version now matches the standards for SD card mounting on devices with both internal and external SD card space. This means that the external SD card slot now mounts to /mnt/sdcard (symlink /sdcard) and the internal space mounts to /mnt/emmc (symlink /emmc). The device properly recognizes the internal vs. external space and allows proper unmounting and handling of the external SD card. This also means that some apps (if they were coded poorly) will not recognize the internal SD space as available SD card space and will require you ti insert an external SD card. I will see if I can do something about the default apps (read: camera) that have this problem; other apps will need to be fixed by the developers.
Changelog:
CM6.1 Beta4:
Updated SD mappings for internal/external SD space to match standards (see note above)
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
Updated kernel to latest G Tablet version (still waiting on source so we can build our own)
Updated to the lasted drivers available for the G Tablet
Included updated libGLESv2 from nvidia (Angry Birds!)
Proper setup of CPU values - this allows the folio Flash APK to install properly
Matched fingerprint and device settings to latest G Tablet values
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3 (2010.12.11):
Added options for managing the internal SD card
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 (2010.11.24):
Updated SD mappings to match standards (see note above)
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
Enjoy!

Nice may try it on one of the other g tabs I picked up today.
Thanks for all the work
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!! and I will enjoy this for desert.
Works like a charm! We all love you! Now wish this damn camera would work right >_<
Awesome, Thank you for putting this together!
Do you know if it addresses the slowdown problem that was present in cmb2? (After using it for a while,browsing etc would slow down till you did a reset)
As usual amazing work. Everything is rock steady. Only things I added were Spare Parts to maximize some apps and a certain keyboard replacement that starts with S.
titanium backup is not seeing my internal sd card, is this a known issue? also i'm unable to mount sd or external sd to computer, the window closes when i try to. the rom seems to run smoothly though.
Thank you Bekit!
First time posting here in ages. Is there a trick to getting the audio working? No audio here, except for a freak accident. Not sure how or why it started working out of the blue, rebooted now it's gone again.
happy turkey day!

Same here and Kobo wants /mnt/sdcard. I've uninstalled both and re-installed in case something changed with beta4 that they'd cached but it didn't change anything. I've found the Titanium Backup official support site (www.legendroid.com/forumdisplay.php?27-Titanium-Backup-Official-Support) but haven't done through it yet ... turkey'd almost ready so it may be a while. Folks out east (or north or anywhere that this isn't a holiday) may wanna check in there.
EDIT: Meant to thank you, bekit, for your work on this. Sorry, was distracted by the smell of nearly done turkey!
No SD card here as well. Do I need to install the newest recovery?
Will be kinda hard to download anything.
Thanks for this update! As with all releases, I will try this one out as well. It's great to have choices in firmware, and at this stage, these firmwares are really-REALLY nice.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!!!

Mind=BLOWN! Thanks!
I can't get the recovery installed. Can I get an update.zip?
I can't install anything from the market. I keep getting not enough room on card? I have internal card selected in CM settings.
I tried installing this, making sure to put on the new clockwork and clearing user data, and when I was all done and went to reboot I got "magic value mismatch" no matter what I did. I was able to get into nvrecovery but flashing the old clockwork wouldn't fix it. I finally gave up and flashed the stock image to get going again, blowing away my internal SD titanium backups. Not a huge loss, but if anyone else is thinking about trying this, copy anything important off the internal SD just in case.
*edit*
Whoops, scratch that, apparently the nvrecovery stock image install doesn't wipe the SD, everything was there when I was done and flashed Clockwork again.
This is running well and I am seeing very smooth scrolling in the browser. That has been my biggest complaint with the gtablet.

Try pluging in headphones and then take them out.
Had the same exact problem.
(Oops... missed the fact that it was already answered!)
Thank you SO much! This is finally a usable ROM for this hardware-rich unit.
I have two questions:
1. Can anyone compile/provide a tun.ko file for this kernel? I would like to use VPN Connections on this device.
2. Is anyone else experiencing odd slowdowns after the device wakes up? When I first boot the device works smoothly. After the device is off and then turned back on, I sometimes experience an unbelievably laggy performance...
Thanks in advace!

Upgrade your phone to 2.2. Apps2SD does not work on 2.1. Read both http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583 and if you happy, then read the full guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778880
This shows step by step method, and is aimed at beginners. Also, remember App2SD can only be used if your phone is rooted
yeah!!! successfully upgraded my phone to 2.2!!!!!!! now i tried running the apps2sd but still doesnt work... my phone is rooted. apps2sd doesnt work... whenever i run it it tells me to create a partion and it shows the partition meter on how much size will i allocate on the partition. i set it then pressed OK then it tells me to reboot..then nothing happens as soon as the phone started again.

MIUI Nook Color 1.9.16 on SD Card?

I have searched diligently and have yet to find specific instruction for creating a bootable SD card for my NC with MIUI Nook Color 1.9.16 (or any version of MIUI for that matter).
I am currently running a fully rooted version of 1.3 on the emmc and "all is well" and I need it left that way so as to continue having access to "in store reading" which I use quite a bit.
Have previously had CM7 and Phiremod running both internally and on an SD card at various times and tried to do a previous version of MIUI on the card using the same process without any luck.
Thanks in advance.
You can use verygreens method here -

Important part is to rename the miui zip like this -
'How to update to a new build:
put the new build you want to try on the first partition. (the name must be update-cm-*.zip or cm_encore_full*.zip or just update-*.zip)'
..and it should work fine
cheers,
Many thanks as that did the trick!
Loaded and running from SD card.
It installed/is using the new Market interface (3.1.3?).
Where are/is "My Apps" as I do not seem to be able to find it.
D/L Netflix and it runs just as it should but the soundlevel at max is quite a bit lower than on rooted 1.3.
Free Koi living wallpaper looks beautiful.
My Apps - strangely there isn't one, but this works nicely -

Cheers,
What did you rename the MIUI file? I've tried it a couple different ways and checked the MD5's, but keep getting errors. Unless my SD card has been corrupted somehow (I used it for other SD boots before this, so not too likely), I can't think of anything else causing the problem.
Hi. I tried putting the MIUI zip in the root of the sd card and booted into recovery as stated. It was renamed as one of the cm7 updates and installation went as per normal. However, when I did boot up the nook was stuck looping the MIUI animation and did not finish. What did I do wrong?

Maybe just didn't wait long enough... the first boot takes a long time since the update script clears cache and dalvik cache.
Of course... this is just a wild guess since you didn't provide a whole lot of information... more information may yeild different feedback.

What kind of information? My nook color originally had the latest CM7 nightly on the sd card. I followed verygreen's method when I installed that. I used the NC normally. Then, I followed this thread and applied verygreen's method. I downloaded the MIUI rom from the miui thread, renamed it like the cm7 nightly zip ("cm_encore_full-253.zip") and put it in the root of the sd card. I put the sd card back in and booted via recovery. It installed and shut down. I turned it on again, and reached the MIUI globe thing. It was looping and stuck there for 30 minutes.
I've been thinking of trying miui.
If anybody has got.it running from SD please give the step-by-step procedure for the rest of us.
Thanks
A search would show you....

I hate to revive a dead thread, but I have been trying everything I could read or download.
I am using the Size-agnostic installer from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I am trying to flash MIUI 1.9.16 (MIUI.us_encore_1.9.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_andmer) (http://goo-inside.me/miui/encore/)
I successfully installed CM7 to this Sandisk Class4 16gig microSD. Every time I try to flash MIUI, I re-burn the size agnostic card image, copy over the cm7-renamed MIUI ROM, and boot.
The installer seems to work, just like my CM7 installs. Then, when I try to reboot, it goes back to the installer (linux penguin at the top, goes through the motions of trying to flash another rom, when not finding anything, it shuts down).
I know I am missing something simple.
Am I to install CM7, then MIUI on top of it (without reburning the card)? Am I just using an SD-incompatible ROM? For those who were successful, where did you download the ROM from?
I know I have lots of questions, I hope you guys see my effort (that I don't just want someone to give me a quick fix), and I thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards!

I'm certainly no expert, but I have flashed two different versions of MiUi to micro SD cards adn then worked fine. You do not need to do i over CM7. Like you, I prepared a clean SD and used the size agnostic procedure. I renamed the MiUi file to some that started with update-cm-
I got my MiUi file here:
http://roms.miui.us/
I used a program called SD Formatter to format the card.. then I used the 1.3 version installer. I sometimes had problems using winimage to create this sd card . You have to select the drive letter for the sd card and then use the "restore" choice on the menu.
David, thanks for your response. I had already wiped it and installed CM7, but when I saw your post, I gave MIUI one last try. I downloaded from that site, and BAM, it installed perfectly! Thanks heaps!

[Q] SD card blocked after update CWM

Today, many hours ago, i wanted to install the
[ROM][22/1/12][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.35 Kernel]
I came from the
[ROM][15/01/2012][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.32 Kernel]
So first changed my CWM into version ClockworkMod [v5.5.0.4]
I first pasted the new rom on my U8800 (previous versions i also had the network problems so needed latest version) SD card, then did the new CWM install and after this i lost all sound and mic...
I tryed to install the new ROM but still the network problem...
So i did my back-up but again no sound/mic/vibrate working...
After this i wanted to put an older rom or maybe CWM back on my SD card but now the SD can't be written on...
What can i do now...
Someone plz help me... Now my phone doesn't have network or any sound, vibrate also isn't working...
Best regards VdBRoald
Try to update from internal sd?
Also, the newer MIUI requires you to install official 2.3.5 before you install it. The newer has different kernel .35 that is required for all functions to work. (Batterystat , network, wlan, etc.)
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
thx for reply,
The inside memory is to small for installing a ROM and atm i only have the Build-in SD card, the one that is now write protected for a reason...
Because i came from another rom i think it isn't needed for first upgrading my standard version into 2.3.5...?
Best regards
Trust me, it is needed. .35 roms don't work unless you have first installed official 2.3.5.
Buy sdcard and try to install from there.
Try to mound/unmoung sd in cwm and try to install then.
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
Try first to mount sd card on pc and check it for errors with windows check disk app. I don' t think that the card is damaged. Then you need to put dload folder from 2.3.5 official rom package(instructions are on package' s pdf file) and flash it from bootloader by pressing vol+,vol-,power when device is off.
The SD card isn't damaged , just is write protected now...
Tryed to mount/unmount in CWM but gives an error (because of problem mensioned i think...)
I can buy a new one but i hope it doesn't reaches that point... :x
Put the card in a card reader and mount it on pc. I don' t think that you have problems then.
It is a build-in SD card so i can't reach it... :'(
edit:Just wanted to dl the official 2.3.5 release from Huawei.
But all sites seems to have deleted the file...
Do you have 5.5.0.4 recovery? I had same problem with that.
Try to change your recovery to Genokolars 5.0.2.7 or the official 5.0.2.6 one.
Firstly, you should've updated your base ROM to B522, then flash MIUI. The problem for your case is that the new kernel does not work with the old base.
Here's what you should do:
Flash B522.
Flash CWM.
Flash MIUI.
How can i do this without an sd card that can be written ons?
I Will do this after i found the solution for the SD card problem, then i can copy new files on it...
PS: factory reset also doesn't work because off problems
You change the recovery in PINK SCREEN not in internal sd card.
Change the recovery, then youll be able to access sd, at least I did.

Use another phone or, even a camera. Insert the micro SD to that, connect to USB, make folder dload on the card, copy the update.app into there and do the steps I wrote before.
All already thx for the comments, i just got a new sd card, for the low cost of 8euro i don't bother for more trouble handling with that. So now i'am trying to do everything with my new card.
It was a hard start because it wasn't working well in beginning, i put the files off the first step true pc (in SD holder) and is now installing the new firmware... let's hope that all the rest will go a bit easyer
Thx a lot to all the replyers and specially to Blefish!
Everything is working perfect now!
The only thing i now have to do is search for some nice ring and message tones
Finally i can call and be called again

[Q] Memory card issue after flashing 7.1.0

Hello members.
I just found a strange issue that I have started facing lately whenever I try to flash a custom ROM on my Defy.
Current stock ROM was 2.2.2
I rooted it and tried This ROM. After flashing it I realized my Proximity sensor stopped working after sometime and my memory card was out of space according to my cell though Astro and ES explorer could access it and I could play music too but my cell still said that Available memory was 0 ( It had 1GB free memory )
Then I changed the ROM to 2.3.7 posted by Quarx hoping it would solve my issue but I had same 2 issues again.
My stock ROM is working perfectly and is not showing any issues. Please tell me what do I do ?
I want to use custom ROMs real bad :3

Then I changed the ROM to 2.3.7 posted by Quarx hoping it would solve my issue but I had same 2 issues again.
My stock ROM is working perfectly and is not showing any issues. Please tell me what do I do ?
I want to use custom ROMs real bad :3

1) after taking the nandroid backup of ur stock rom .. clear the cache from stock recovery..
2) then u come to custom recovery (via CWM) and wipe data/factory reset and than u install CM7 and flash Gapps .. then wipe cache & dalvik cache ...Reboot
i think u wont be having any problem after doing this..
Cheers
I have the sbf file of the Stock Rom so thats not an issue. I did try the steps you told me to follow but I had the same problems ! Dont know whats causing it.
