Yes, the Bootloader (pink screen) default file system is FAT32.
In case you lost the bootloader contents, just create a folder called "image" and copy the following files to that:
EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v
Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac
Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97

Hello Katu!
Thanks for the answer yesterday!
Formatted in FAT32, but I'm not sure what the size of the allocation unit.
Can you help me ... again??
Thanks

My U8800 has also a /image/cust. This /cust has the data and parameters of net operator TMN. Is not necessary?

It is required, but in that folder the stock Rom usually backs-up critical stuff... don't delete it or anything!
If you don't have that folder, it's not a tragedy, because a fresh install of a stock Rom will create that folder for you.

Yeah, cust_data is the one I was referring at. You'll notice that inside that folder there is another folder with the initial letters from each Stock Rom (for example my is "ee", which stands for Estonia Elisa).

I think the stock Rom will create that if I have de /cust phone folder. It's this folder I must'nt delete.
But now I'm not a stock Rom, I have 3 Oxygen versions, a MIUI and a CM7 backups. I restore one of them wen I want . If I want I can delete /cust and no problems is'n it?

Do not delete that folder! I wouldn't touch that just for fun...Leave it there, it won't affect your Roms in anyway.
The fact that you can restore Oxygen doesn't have anything with that folder. Your backups for Oxygen etc are on the SD card.
I personally think that some relevant info used by all Roms is actually located there, so I wouldn't delete that folder just for fun.

Now I remember, when I made a backup or restore there are the files /data /system etc. and also /cust. It's important.

stock rom help!

trying to find U8800 V100R001C00B136SP02CUSTC205D001 (Finland Elisa)
to download no links on huawei homepage works so.
need .zip file found a rar but says (bad) when i try to install
getting black screen after my SIM-card provider image dissapears.
thanks in advance

You've got a PM >
Remember, you CANNOT install the stock Roms from within the recovery.
To install a stock ROM, all you have to do is:
- Create a folder on the SD card named "dload"
- Get the contents (usually 2 big files) of the stock Rom archive and place them on the "dload" folder.
- Switch off the phone and press Vol+, Vol- and Power.
The stock Rom installation is automatic and you don't have to do anything during installation.

oh ok, good to know.
problem solved already tried to install older version of miui. the new version was messing with my phone nothing worked with it.
thanks anyway saving this for the future <3 !

Where can i find this rom archive? I'd like to have a rom backup of my phone U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01CUSTNLDC253D001 (The Netherlands) before i flash anything. Is this the latest stock rom for my country? If i would resize data will this be a problem when restoring the stock rom?

I would advise against resizing the partitions, as it's difficult to restore them in case you need the phone for warranty.
I've sent you a PM with some info, let me know if you need more.

Please HELP!!

I took the plunge and decided to updgrade my HD2 to Android from Windows 6.5.
I did the following:
Radio to 2.**.51.**
Loaded HSPL 2.80
Flashed MAGLDR successfully.
I now turn on my phone hoping to see the MAGLDR menu through a 'long hold' on the on/off key but I get a white screen with htc in green and nothing else. The phone doesn't progress any further.
I've taken the battery out and tried again but same thing.
If I go into the bootloader menu, I get the coloured bars and at the top its got:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
Have I screwed it?

Got the radio wrong,, its 2.xx.50 you need not 51

Radio should be. 50 not. 51. Reflash radio from bootloader.
Sent from my Cyanogen HD2

Thanks guys. Flashed the correct Radio and now takes me into the MAGLDR menu.
However, another prob. I've been following instructions I got from a friend of a friend which states:
1. At Magldr menu, selct USB Flasher and run DAF.exe <done this successfully>
2. Once done, load clockwork mod <done this successfully>
3. Install the ROM from a zip file after copying this to the SD root. The zip file in my case is 'MCCM HD V5.1 CWR,NAND' and contains a Boot, Meta-inf and system folder.
When I try and run this through the Clockwork Mod i.e. 'Install zip from sd card' it runs but then aborts installation saying 'E:Can't open /sdcard/ROM/MCCM HD V5.1 CWR.NAND.zip (bad)'
Any ideas whats happening ?
Thanks

you arent unzipping the file are you? you don't need to open that zip to see what it contains. just put the whole zip on the sd card and choose it from cwm.

Try redownloading the file. On my Optimus, it only says that upon bad download, or corrupted file.

The folder is zipped when you put it on the SD card right? If not, then copy the original downloaded folder (zipped) to the SD card and try again.

Hi yes, I have left the file zipped.
Is there a link that anyone can post for this zip file please and I'll try it again.
Also once I've done this successfully, there is an Update.zip file that I think I have to run. Can anyone confirm this is the case?
Lastley, once I've done the above I'm guessing that I have the device in a state to now flash an Android type i.e. Gingerbread, Froyo, etc.
Is this true and what do you guys recommend - any links would be helpful.
I can almost taste the sweet succes of having Android on my HD2 !!

Then why bother flashing another ROM? Just skip the flashing MCCM's ROM and go straight to a ROM of your choice. As for which ROM, there are too many but I would recommend Typhoon CM7. The only way to know for sure is to try them out.

the CM rom is a very good choice

that was the rom being flashed. If you didn't want that rom, you should put a different rom.zip on your sd card, and possibly flash a different cwm partition layout in the previous steps.

[Q] Cant install any costum rom

I've done root with srs root-root and install cwm-recovery via update.zip, after that I tried most costum rom from version 2.3 to 4.0, but all I'm trying to costum rom can not boot up normally in my device, what causes all costum rom can not boot in galaxy-y,
I also do a partition on sd-card via cwm, and also pay attention to exactly how to install the costum rom to flash the kernel, but still all the costume rom will not boot

either you are a using the wrong kernel eg stock based roms require a stock based kernel and cm roms require a cm kernel and for you to format your system to ext
also make sure you mount system before flashing a rom
if you use the cm common kernel you need to unmount system and remount system before flashing the zip

Try to flash via odin before you flash the rom . And remmember to mount everything before flashing and wipe anything THX

like I said for cm7 you need to format your system to ext either using percys kernel or the ext converter tool
you also need to unmount system in cwm and remount system twice before flashing the rom zip
you can follow my instructions

use winrar or another unzip prog to open the rom zip
you will notice a folder there called meta.inf
delete it
copy the meta.inf from the attachment in the other post and place it in the rom zip
you can do it on your phone if you dont have a pc
just use zarchiver app to unzip the rom zip and replace the meta.inf folder then use the app again to rezip it

[Q] i9505 OMEGA 31

Can someone please advise how I restore the default boot animations on the OMEGA rom? I have downloaded the file from the OMEGA files fileserver.
I tried placing the bootanimation.zip in /system/media and also tried to use install from TWRP.
I have tried searching but not finding the exact procedure.
Thanks

First, if you've tried flashing a .zip via TWRP or other recovery and your phone now goes blank between the S4 logo and the full boot you might have to contend with a broken boot animation... Personally it bothered me so much I reflashed Omega lol.
I downloaded on my phone the Samsung S5 boot/Shutdown animations.
Using E/S File explorer I first renamed the following files on the phone:
"/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg" => "/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg.old"
"/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg" => "/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg.old"
"/system/media/shutdown.qmg" => "/system/media/shutdown.qmg.old"
I decompressed the S5.zip archive.
I copied from the archive "S5.zip/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg", "S5.zip/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg" and the "S5.zip/system/media/shutdown.qmg" into /system/media
Again using ES file explorer I set one by one the new file attrubutes so that they would be -wr-r--r--
Reboot the phone and voila - new boot animation.
If this works you can then delete the .old files in /system/media
If you want to load other boot animations there are enablers and disablers for the bootanimation.zip but I stayed clear as I want mine as standard as possible.

Reflashed the rom then followed your instructions to replace it with the original Samsung boot and shutdown animations.
