Im going to apologize up front. My friend hands me the U8800-51 and says fix it. It only boots up to blue screen and i can access the pink screen. I can plug it into my machien and get the removable disk. I was going to install cwm through pink screen then install rom like normal. The removable disk has one folder called HUAWEI and inside that folder is
autorun.inf
boot.img
MediaID.bin
and restore.ico
obviously there is no IMAGE folder. can anyone point me in teh right direction. download this, dump that file here, wipe data, go. I would really appreciate it. Im not stranger to android, but I am to HUAWEI
I need help
I DELETED EVERYTHING INSIDE THOSE FOLDERS AND WHEN I TURN IT ON ALL IT SHOWS IS A BLUE SCREEN I HAVE THE HUAWEI U8800-51
autorun.inf
boot.img
MediaID.bin
restore.ico
im certainly the cust_img folder is hidden. try to enable the option show hidden folders, if not, use the app root explorer and you can access inside your phone

So I have a few folders which cannot be deleted. ES file explorer just says xxx cannot be deleted. I can rename the folder but not move or delete. I'm guessing there is a problem with one of the files in the folder but there are loads.
I origionally rooted the nexus 7 so I could use sixaxis but found too much lag compared with plugging in the controller so decided to return to a stock image. I did an app+data+sd card backup with nexus tools and it was after doing this I have had this problem. (also most of my games which I backed up lost their saves - wheres my water, dead trigger + others is this normal for these games?)
Any advice much appreciated
(oh since applying the stock image I no longer have root)
Could be a file permissions problem, try rooting your device again then changing permissions on the files to give yourself full read/write access to these files.
If this doesn't work you could try deleting them through the command line, but this would also require you to root your device again.
Hope I helped.
Hi thanks for your suggestion. I completely forgot I posted this. Anyway I rooted my device using the toolkit and all worked well. But I still cannot delete many folders and files and also some apps don't seem to be able to save properly.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong? Apart from this the system is stable and I would rather not do a fresh install because of all the games I have (long downloads and I have had problems backing up and restoring saves in the past) is there a way to just set all the files and folders on my phone to read / write (es file explorer reports these files have the required permissions but maybe setting them might do something)

Ok so I used superoneclick to root my ladies u8800-51. Wow simple as ever coming from HTC let me say. Going to install the CWM recovery.img to it, screen was purple/Red. I accidentally renamed the folder that was there instead of just the original recovery image. So questions... What was the folders original name? now no recovery is coming up just a blue screen.. HElp me get her phone going again so i can flash some ROMS
The recovery.img is in .cust_backup\image at least in my u8800

So it having different colors n not going into recovery might b an issue right ? I might have not done something right even though I read instructions 4x n all. Lol my girl is now complaining she can't play candy crush either on it. Like I said huawei is odd n weird to me.

You had overwrite file recovery.img, no rename the folder. You are weird, no Huawei.
Now you have bricked phone.
You can try connect phone in bluescreen to pc, maybe you can see partitions.
If your phone is still visible as usb mass storage, rename the folder to "image". There will be only one folder in that partition.

You just haven't the recovery mode(for this the blue image). This doesn't mean that the phone isn't rooted. There are 2 separate things. You can use a file explorer with root option(e.g ES file explorer), to go the the "image" folder in which are all the system images(recovery.img, boot.img etc). The path is /.cust_backup/image and in this folder you will find the recovery.img. Probably this image haven't a different name or extension. It must be recovery.img, otherwise the system doesn't recognize it. To make changes in this folder you must previously mount it as Read/Write(is Read only by default). For this you can use Remount application(you can find it on google play), and then you can from ES file explorer(or any other root file manager) to rename the file or replace and whatever you want.
This is one from several ways. You can also boot again in pink screen mode and do these changes(without the need of remounting) from pc file explorer. You can also do something similar as the first way from pc via adb.
ROM

No...
Just hold +/- plus power buttons when the phone is off
Connect to computer and drag recovery.img to the folder
if it asks, overwrite.
Out of curiousity, what guide are you following?
So, i was trying to add the line "ro.debuggable=1" to my build.prop file.
First i tried to use build.prop editor and es file explore but that didn't work.
I then copied the file to my SD card so i could edit it using notepad on Windows 10.
Then after i finished editing it i replaced the original file with the edited one using TWRP.
When i restarted it just stayed on the "Android One" boot screen forever.
I then removed the new line from the file using the same method but it still is just stuck at the boot screen.
Yes, i know i could just backup my important data and reflash but i currently don't have enough storage space on my computer for my files.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT: I reflashed the system partition and that seemed to do the trick! BUT Now WiFi isn't working...
EDIT2:Well turns out i can just flash the entire phone without losing my data. Everything works fine now!
