[Q] U8800 CM 10.1 trouble - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hey guys, so this happened to me. After following the guide to install cm 10.1 i got a boot loop, and somehow when i got back to recovery mode 5.0.2.7 my sd card wasnt being recognized, i couldnt connect my phone to pc ( unable to write to ums lunfile ) and i also couldn't mount sd-ext, wich means that i'm stuck in recovery.
I even tried pink screen, but win7 doesnt install the drivers, so i can't copy any new rom to my phone to bring it back to life.
So what can i do?.... im tired of searching an nothing.
(sorry for my english)

Try connecting the phone to a Linux distro, Ubuntu for example. No drivers are needed and you can access the phone via pink screen and a sudo nautilus window
Cheers

You can try to ask someone to give you the drivers and then force install them while connected to pink screen. OR you can connect your phone while got are in recovery and if your computer recognizes phone then push a ROM through adb.

i have already tried to mount the phone with recovery but it doesnt allow me :\

You have flashed previously an official 2.3 rom which has pink screen locked, so you cannot access to the partitions. Linux cannot help you on this.
So if you haven't access to sdcard or to adb, then the only think you can do is to reinstall the official rom. But this time do these 2 more steps which are life savers:
1. Flash the unlocked bootloader. There is a thread on U8800' s forums: "get your pink screen back"(maybe the name isn't exactly this but you will find it using search function). This will flash the B518 bootloader which is the last unlocked. All next version of official rom have the bootloader locked.
2. Make a full backup of the device from linux. There is also a thread for this: U8800 full Linux backup how to
Then you will have the way to recover your device from almost everything.
Also to flash CM10.1 you need larger /system partition. This was the reason of bootloop. There are infos about this on CM10.1 thread on general section.

You don't need it just remove your sd and put on another phone or SD reader and copy files to micro-sd then you can update...
My advice: official rom, root, CWM recovery then update to any custom rom.

but how can i update if the phone isnt reading sd?

This happens in recovery mode. This isn' t a general sdcard fault. The update mode is different and I don't thing that you have problems with sd there.

No you cannot use bootloader.zip on upgrade mode.
You must install the official rom from upgrade mode as you did the first time.
Then first you must root the phone, flash the custom recovery and after flash the bootloader.zip from there.

If you can get into CWM, you only need two more steps now
1) mount /system
2) install zip from sd -> su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
Reboot and you are rooted.

Yes I follow the root technique of "hxxp://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/", and, like "vbobmac", my phone stock at google page.
After that, i try the "rootboot.img" who give "Si_NZ" to "vbobmac".
And, like him, after that when i boot, i can only boot into clockwork recovery, and i can't go into "bootloader" mode.
Can I make my rom at stock into clockwork recovery?
I hope, it's possible to unmake this mistake?
In the post "[ROM] Stock - 2.3.4 - GRJ22 - Deodexed w/radio for NS/NS4G", do i have to take a rom rooted or not? Because my phone is unlock, but not totally rooted i think.
Sorry for all those questions, but i'm a little lost. And i'm affraid to make an error who will kill my Nexus S.
Thank you a lot for your help, i wait your answer before doing anything.
Thank you again.
It's great to see people, who are ready to help directly.
Edit: Now I can boot in "bootloader" mode, but i try with ODIN to put back at stock my phone, but the computer (Windows 7) dont recognise the phSamsungone.
Even when I install PC Studio 3.
Do you now an other way to make my phone work? Root or at stock, doesn't matter. Just if he can live, it's good to me.

Can you access the sdcard to flash a rom? You can do that by going to clockwork recovery, then mounts and storage, then select mount USB storage, then on your PC go to my computer and press refresh until you see the phone storage appear, keep pressing refresh for atleast 5 minutes because sometimes it takes a while. Then download any rom rooted or unrooted and flash in clockwork recovery.
If you can't do that and you can use fastboot, I'll send you a system.img and boot.img to flash.

At least the manipulation is working, i can mount on my computer the nexus.
Do you have a rom 2.3.4 for Nexus i9023 please? Maybe i don't flash with a good rom?
Thanks again for your help.
I try again, to flash with the original 2.3.4, but the operation abort everytime.
Do i have an other choice for flashing my phone?
Mount the sdcard is working, copy files work too, and i can run the update.
But, the operation abort with a "statut 7".

Sorry for all those questions, but i don't want to make something who can kill my phone.
And I think, i don't have the good bootloader.
My phone is a Nexus S i9023, but since i try to root my phone, my bootloader version is the "i9020XXKA3".
You think, i have to change the bootloader first?
For flashing bootloader and clocwork recovery, i have to do it from Windows?

Don't you think it's because my bootloader is not the good one?
Can flash it too, from Windows?

Please provide also an instalation procedure.....
It is not something new that you install.
These are the original image files included in the 2.3.5 version, in case someone needs them if flashing went wrong and needs to revert to original files.
You get in recovery mode as usual and replace them.
Recovery mode:
boot phone while holding volume up + volume down + power buttons.
The screen gets pink.
If you connect your phone via usb with your pc then you can access it as a storage device.
There are the files you might want to replace.
is this final or beta?
There is no final release yet. We will have to wait for that quite a while I think.

Hi Everyone,
I used these recovery files with B138 rom (stupid, i know - long story). Now, i can only get to pink screen state - can't even get to recovery mode. Everytime i switch the phone on, the Huawei logo appears briefly, then just goes off again - even when i try to enter recovery mode.
Will it help if i replace the recovery files with the ones intended for the B138 rom? If so, can anyone perhaps post a link to them?
I REALLY hope i didn't brick my phone!

Simply reinstall the rom. Create a dload at your sdcard and you know the rest.
Second option: search forum there were already boot.img recovery and other image folder files. Replace them while on pink screen and youre good to go.

Official GB is having this issue. It happened to me some times. Try upgrading your phone with Dzo's Aurora or downgrade again to 2.2.1. both will give your phone a life and stay away from GB (at least official)

Apply official 2.2. After it remove repartitions if you have. Then just install official 2.3 same way you installed 2.2. Thats it.

Still just the pink screen, do i need to change some files maybe.
I have CWM and i think i installed a custom boot.img for root access...
as far as I know, there have to be 2 files in that folder, at least i had 2 files when i did flashing. UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_CUST.APP
If you still have the original boot.img, restore it and try again.
Or go into settings->memory->software update, it's another way to update.
Did a factory reset, still waiting to see if this fixes it...
Did not seem to work, didn't install the stock rom from sd...
I also downloaded original boot.img, but it failed that to
now I'm uploading files which I used to flash stock 2.2. they will be uploaded in about 20minutes if everything goes well ^^

Thank you very much
I didn't work, so I'll just stick to custom roms for now.
But which rom do you suggest...
I have Oxygen
I've tried CM7(long time ago)
I'll probably try MIUI next...
Change, boot.img or recovery.img, cannot help you to install official rom.
For booting to update mode, responsible is the bootloader, which isn't part of boot.img or recovery.img.
Also you don' t need 2 files on dload folder. You just need the update.app. If a rom has more files, need more steps to flash them all. For e.g if you have a update_cust.app file, you need to flash first the update.app, then rename the update_cust.app, to update.app and flash again.
Anyway if you cannot boot to Update mode, or something you do wrong, or the sd card cannot read from bootloader, and boots on pink screen mode instead.
You can try to put the dload folder on internal sd card.
I think i might have backup of the original system, restoring now to check...
EDIT:
It worked, it was from before i did anything to the phone...
I'm about to cry :'), happy tears everyone...
Thanks for all your help
Damn forgot my pattern...

Root your phone.
Download the recovery.img you want.
Save it wherever you want at your phone.
Download any root file manager (ex Root Explorer), which can mount and show hidden folders.
Mount ./cust_backup as rw.
Copy and replace recovery.img from SD card to /.cust_backup/image/recovery.img
Done!

sorry my friend. I don't understand what your problem is. Have you copied the recovery.img file at the correct folder? Did you boot at recovery ok? what are you trying ro flash?
i had a similar issue - the rom manager installed the CWM but when i booted to it, it was the default one.
So:
1. Delete/rename the recovery.img
2. Then paste new one (for some reason it didnt overwrite it).
3. Just use rom manager to boot into recovery or use the vol + and power button option.
Now in the recovery use the install from sdcard option.
The reason ur not getting the flash/mass storage drive on purple screen is cuz ur bootloader is locked (i assume official gingerbread is installed?)
Hey there, correct i have oficial gingabread, and i want to put a Custom ROM on it ....
And now i accidently deleted the recovery.img and cant paste the recovery that i have on my SD Card to the flash via ROOT Explorer
Now what can i do :'(
cuz the Custom ROM that i want to put is the Elite ROM v10 that is for 2.3 if iam not mistake
Can someone help me out plz

Just reapply official rom. If possible use beta 1 or 2. Keeps bootloader unlocked.

FINNAAALLYYYYY !!! THANK GOD BETAAA !! thanks m8 i putted a thanks on you
You can apply latest official ROM also and then unlock your bootloader like described here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21659629
You can use the manual method
Then you can plug your phone to your pc at pink screen and paste any recovery version you want inside the image folder.

the picture looks ok...
check your external sd card - make sure there is not an "update.zip" on that or your internal "sd card"
the writing you see on yr tab is ok you should be able to just
"reboot" the tab and be all good??
try running the afterOTA again....
PS >>> oh are you trying to flash the unlocked bootloader or rollback to HC??

Thanks for responding:good:, so I've tried using afterOTA again, although not the usb connection. I was trying to put recovery_twrp_2.1.3-ICS.img with apx mode, it restarted and gave PASS screen, but now is only on this screen, asking "update.zip", already put in external SD: Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1.zip, FLEX-Resurrection_Rev1-Aroma-Public.zip, cwm_hc_ics_root.zip, and nothing.
I have this information:
Tablet Cpuid: 037C624341E05557
Tablet Sbk: 0x17A51E00 0x94ABD401 0x7BE23003 0x340A2103

Because, you still are running a stock rom,. more or less.
The problem happens, because you are re-booting after installing the custom recovery. And the rom you are running, is booting it to stock recovery (it's overwriting your custom recovery) which explains why it's looking for update.zip
What you need to do, is after installing your custom recovery, boot immediately to it Via adb, or shut down and boot using Vol- and PWR. Then install your custom rom.

keep in mind that flashing custom roms and recovery's REQUIRE the unlocked bootloader be flashed FIRST... I'd suggest apxFlash tool to do that....all u need is in civatos bootloader thread, pls read very carefully. do the first 4 steps and then use apxFlash tool to complete the process....if u don't do things exactly as written you'll end up in trouble....
good luck
