IPL: 2.26.0002

Have you really read this sticky thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721 before flashing ?

i tried the nbh file flashing to the memory card

Also, what did you do to get your phone stuck in bootloader in the first place?
my brother did it to my phone before i'd even had chance to use it , and i don't know what he did.....sorry x
Try this and follow the instructions exactly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347700 and report pls
i tried this yesterday at first when i pressed enter i didnt get >cmd (which is what happening now)
then when i do get it eventually after many tries it sasys
cmd55 or something failed
and stays on 0% on a gray screen
sorry if i sound stupiud.
Ok
First you connect your device, then right click on active sync icon on your computer, chose connection settings and change according to the instructions then continue with mtty.exe
i have done this
when i press enter i dont get anything come up....
yesterday i managed to get it up though and just stayed gray screen at 0%
Try again a few times making sure you didn't overlook any detail.
I just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3395787&postcount=155 possibly mtty version doesn't work
2- Another possibility is unbricker rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446242
3- gold card method (the links are dead so you should pm Dsixda)
Flash from the SD card:
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem, complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
1. Format microSD card from your computer.
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (the bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait.
Will try now and keep u updated
manny thanks x
Follow the instructions until you get cmd only, then return to the tutorial to continue
Good luck
Just an update
i downloaded the nbh file you sugested and tried both
1) flashing from the SD card by renaming file - when i do this is says checking sd contents then goes back to my bootlooder screen
2) running the romupdateutility.exe with the nbh file in the same folder it goes through then i get error 294 incorrect vender
i am unable to pm Dsixda about the gold card
i have no idea what else to try
ps: when running mtty i still get a gray screen then the bootloader screen.
Sorry to hear this, I'm out of ideas. Just some details not to miss:
try a hard reset
writing "ELF0IMG.nbh" (elf zero img and not elf o img)
google for mtty and download a few versions
Wait for an answer from Dsixda for gold card if you can't find your original rom
Creating your GoldCard
I don't remember well the procedure but you can try the following:
If you have access to a working pda or a working GPS device - PNA which is powered by WM (even modified) then you have to follow these steps:
Download this package and save it in your C:\ drive.
Run it.
(it will extract all the necessary files in C:\itsutilsbin (folder) and it will start the setup of Perl)
When the Perl - installation is finished run Perl Package Manager from Windows Start Menu.
Add repositories.
Name: itsme
Location: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ppm
Name: theoryx
Location: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.xml
(HowTo: run Preferences from the Perl Package Manager menu and switch to the repository tab)
After database synchronization install these packages:
Crypt-DES
XdaDevelopers-NbfUtils
(HowTo: at the main window of Perl Package manager find those packages, mark them for install (the icon with green plus, next to the search bar) and run marked action(green arrow icon))
Format the sd card(FAT32) and insert it in a working pda.
Connect the working pda to the pc , wait to sync and run psdread.bat from C:\itsutilsbin.
Find an official rom from here with a ModelID which matches your device's one
Example: If your pda is an Elfin and you have ModelID ELF030000 then get the below rom from that thread.
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BL UE_Ship.exe (T-MOBILE)
Device: ELF030000
CID: T-MOB003
Version: 2.26.114.3
Language: NLD

Click to collapse
Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the sd card.
Fully charge your battery, insert the sd card to your pda, enter bootloader and flash from memory card
(Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume down button)).
If everything went ok then you can use a HardSPL or a USPL to CID Unlock your phone and update the rom with one of your choice.
If you don't have a working pda use a card reader - Ubuntu (even from a LiveCD) and QMAT are required
Regards!
i don't have a working pda to use :-( the only pda i have is my bricked one :-(

There is a way to use a card reader instead.
Using Ubuntu LiveCD and QMAT
ps:I wonder how did the wiki entry got erased?
Dsixda and all the members who worked on this had done a great job and it's really annoying that all their work was lost.
Hi,
I have a Vodafone Branded wildfire which I got unlocked from a small local shop.
However it still boots up with the nasty Vodafone logo and takes ages to boot.
I essentially want a method of removing this logo and make my wildfire brand free.
Now I have read from other forums that this is also called as debranding (correct me if i am wrong)
What i need is this.
I have a Mac. OS X. and do not have any windows or ubuntu at my disposal.
Can anyone help me with a guide on how to debrand my phone using a os x ??
I do have spare sd cards and sd card usb reader ( i guess this required for gold card)
Please let me know how to create everything from scratch.
Thanks in advance.
I debrandet my Wildfire with OSX ^^ and you dont need a spare sd cards or sd card usb reader for a gold card at all.
From mapleator.de/?p=19
1. The Goldcard
For most Android-devices you need a so called goldcard for downgrading your mobile. Downgrading is needed for rooting (at least for the G1 under 1.6). We will make our SD-Card to such a goldcard in the first step.
First you have to format the sd-card (backup all your loved data on your Mac/PC)
1. Click on Menu on your mobile
2. Go to Settings
3. Then SD Card & Phone Settings
4. Then Unmount SD card
5. And finally Format SD card
Now we need the SD's CID-Number. The easiest way is to use the ASTRO File-Manager:
1. Download the ASTRO File Manager from the Market (Just search for ASTRO)
2. Start the App
3. Navigate to sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:aaaa (instead of aaaa there could be something else as well)
4. Long press on the 'cid'-file
5. First select Open as, then Text
6. Then select File-Editor
7. Write down the number 1 to 1 onto your Mac/PC
Now we have the Cid-Number. With that cid-number we generate a goldcard-image:
1. Now we have to revert that Cid pairwise (for example 73829100 would get 00918273)
2. Register at psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard with your reverted Cid
3. You will recieve the file goldcard.img via E-Mail. Save that file to your user-directory.
4. Now connect your mobile to your PC/Mac
5. Pull down the mobiles notification-bar
6. Click on USB connected
7. Select Mount
Now we have the image-file that we have to apply to the SD-card:
1. Open your Mac's Terminal under Applications -> Utilities ->Terminal (Or your Linux-Terminal)
2. Enter diskutil list and confirm
3. You should be able to see your SD-Card now. You can recognize it from its size (mine is 2GB) and that its type is DOS_FAT_32. As IDENTIFIER it says disk2s1.Remember this identifier.
4. Now unmount the card the folowing way: If your identifier was disk2s1 enter diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 and confirm. If not, you have to replace the 2 with your value (the value that is written right after the word disk).
5. Now create your goldcard with sudo dd bs=512 if=~/goldcard.img of=/dev/disk2. If you need to, replace the 2 again. Confirm, wait, enter your users password (or under linux your roots password) and confirm again.
Now you are owner of a goldcard!

UNLOCKING FOR REFLASHING
Now we need to unlock your bootloader so that we can reflash the firmware

1. Click “Scatter-loading” and select “MT6582_Android_scatter” file placed inside “Honor3CBootUnlock” folder.
2. After that, click Window menu and check “Write Memory”. A new tab named Write Memory should appear.
3. In Write Memory tab, click Open Raw Data and select “preloader_huawei82_wet_jb5.bin”.
4. Set Memory Setting to “EMMC”, Beginning Address to “0x800” and Container Length to “0x1B0EC”. Finally click Write Memory button,SP FlashTool is waiting for connection, now connect your phone to computer using USB cable, WITHOUT the battery inserted.
5. GREEN circle will be displayed if the download succeeded.
6. Now DISCONNECT the USB cable from your phone.
Nearly done

Decrpty Key of File?
Asalam-U-Alaikum , bro the mega file needs a decrypt key. Kindly tell me what is it.
Hello there, I have just bought a Mi A1 for my father and get notified on system update (October patch that is over 1 GB of size). However, download seems to never progress even though I have an internet connection. Is it possible to download the update using PC, put it somewhere on the phone directory and use the System Update to flash it? My father doesn't want to get his phone bootloader unlocked and rooted.
He also already experienced SIM card not being detected twice over two days which require phone reboot to make it detect it again (SIM card is at slot 1, SD card is at slot 2). Is there any known problems and workaround with this device regarding that issue?
Thank you in advance.
Hey you can try flashing the latest rom through mi flash tool. This is will not make any change to your bootloader status. You just need to download and extract the rom somewhere on the C: folder and the rest of the tutorial you can find on this page (its for a different phone but works the same way on A1)
http://en.miui.com/thread-142056-1-1.html
Also you can find all the downloads for A1 on this page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/rom-mirrors-mi-a1-stock-androidone-rom-t3696821
And you can grab minimal adb and fastboot here (extract them in the same folder that you extract the rom)

All the best
Hi,
I am from Poland. I have problem with my Huawei.
Briefly, at startup, Huawei launches into the eRecovery tool. I have "Reboot", "Shutdown", and "Download Latest Version and Recover" enabled. Unfortunately, the return option (not connected to the server).
It analyzed the network a bit and tried to line up the phone with the "update.app" file, which I unpacked and moved to the SD card. According to the content, I previously created a "load" folder on the SD website. What to do the software, I think I downloaded version 9.0 Such soft I was able to download from a reliable source.
But there is a preliminary problem when entering recovery mode (key - and + power button) the message "Software installation failed! |" Appears. I have a SanDiska 32gb memory card. The card is the case. I formatted it equally with NTFS and exFat. I also put in more content to extract after the "dload" folder and the same message all the time.
Can anyone help? Maybe not this firmware version? But I am definitely not on the Huaweii server, so I got lost and I managed to download something for this model. I will be grateful for any help.
