Good day
So here is my question
What version of rom can i use to upgrade this one ?
Because now we have
1: HUAWEI IDEOS X5 ( this is the one i have i guess )
2: U8800
3: U8800Pro
4: U8800-51
when lookin at the website from Huawei i do not see any upgrades for the HUAWEI IDEOS X5
just for the U8800 , U8800Pro , U8800-51
Thats why i ask this
Do i have to root the phone first ?
What programm can i use to back up old rom and contacts , photo's ext ext
Well hope you all can help me out Any link or readme file would do
Thnx already for any answer
Ideos x5=u8800.
Root your phone for unofficial roms and install clockworkmod. Links are in development section.
For rooting i suggest z4root or superoneclick.
For backups, use titanium backup, get from market.
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
You have U8800 which is IDEOS X5. You can find official updates here: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3791&tb=0
You dont need to root it if youw ant to install official updates - just do what it says in the pdf that is in zip. You can export contacts to SD or link them to your google account, for apps download mybackup (or similar) and for phoos you probably have them on SD so just copy them to your PC and after the update you can copy them back to SD. The B522 update is gingerbread (2.3.5) and B138 is FroYo (2.2).
If you want to install custom ROMs then you will have to root it and install custom recovery. Here is a great guide: http://android.modaco.com/topic/341011-ultimate-guide-to-the-huawei-u8800/
But with this guide you will only be able to use .32 kernel ROMs (old CM7, oxygen, old MIUI). If you want to use .35 kernel ROMs then you will have to first install official 2.3.5 (B522) and then root it and change recovery using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728 (you dont have to remove bundled apps if you dont want to. Also dont forget to unlock bootloadr if you are going to isntall offficial 2.3.5 (you can find tutorial by blefish in development forum)
Thnx allot mate will start reading it all
And later on i will report back how it went
Again thnx mates
I have installed the latest gingerbread
What a difference against froyo
Works like a charm
now i will see what custom rom is the best to get
So I have CyanogenMod-7.2.0-u8800pro=GenoModded By Moihack rom on my phone (android version 2.3.7) and I decided to back on clean stock rom. How can i do that? (i dont have backup)
Im a newbie to android. This is my first android phone! So i don't want to brick it coz i cant afford another one! Could you please instruct me on how to install the official ICS update for the ideos x5 pro? hopefully in simple non technical language.
