here you can find another rom not belong to Yoigo... but it is fomr Australia Operator...

Ouch, I meant that the rom you linked is stock (no brand) and I was going to flash it, but as I can see the yoigo one is newer.
Maybe the Australian one is rootable with classic root tools, but I wouldn't flash with the AU rom if I don't have the Yoigo one to come back...

Is there a way to save the Yoigo rom from the phone?

Hi all,

I know it's an English forum. I had found a hint about rooting u8650 but it's written in simplified chinese: http://www.android.ooo.com.my/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1715

I will give it a try. If you can read chinese, you can also give it a try.

HERE WE ARE boys! :-D

Just rooted my U8650 in this damn EASY way:

download the file update.zip from here , copy it in your SD card then turn off the phone and put it in recovery mode (volume up+on/off switch for a few seconds).
Once in the recovery menu select "update from SD , chose the file, then reboot et voilà!
Your phone is rooted!

Thank huchengtw for the chinese forum link! ;-)

Well... It seem it works... I need make some more checks...

Diomorgan,

really?? I met the signature verification failed error. The following is my ver.:

Model Number: HUAWEI_IDEOS_U8650
Baseband Version: 60501009
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-perf
Build Number: U8650V100R001C058B826SP06

I had found some u8650 can't be rooted, like those in Taiwan, in another chinese forums.

Diomorgan,

Can I ask what build number your phone is? ..has this worked for everyone else??

I have just purchased one in Australia and wondering if your method will work for mine, is there any harm in me trying your method or if it doesn't work will I have to re-install an original rom? ..yes sorry if this is a noob question, I have had little experience with androids or rooting for that matter but can find very little information on this phone.

Diomorgan · Aug 3, 2011

Build is U8650V100R001C86B823SP05
basebans 60501009
Model U8650-1 (written under the battery)

Youigo Firmware should be different from the australian one: it got a lot of utility like "web update" or "install app" to install app from SD, maybe is the same, but the firmware itself rocks!

My two yoigo U8650 are both unlocked and rooted now and I'm going to sell my iPhone 3GS asap ;-))))

I can't even get mine into recovery mode. Guess I'm going to have to leave the phone as is.

huchengtw · Aug 5, 2011

gyco,

the u8650 has a mechanism (I don't know that it is) to reserve the state of your phone while you turn off it.

You can enter recovery mode with a cold boot, which means you need to take off the battery out, put it back, and press vol up + power.

I think the the U8650 whose Build Number is U8650V100R001C058B826SP06 can't be rooted.

In other word, we can't use the same file which fits U8650V100R001C86B823SP05 to root U8650V100R001C058B826SP06.

huchengtw · Aug 9, 2011

Sure, it is. Someone had found that Huawei IDEOS u8650 is a customized version for Cht of Taiwan (中華電信). It's not the same as the standard version for China and other countries.

I think the update.zip image is released by someone in Huawei with the correct key to sign the file.

One of the reason it can't be rooted is this phone had removed the "Logcat" mechanism from android. So, this makes most of rooting ways malfunction.

The only way is to wait that somebody finds a bug to obtain root privilege.

blacknecro,

you can't extract all files. you may find a file named "update.zip" with the link. just put this file under your sdcard and you can find the file.

WEll. I can confirm It works for me 100%.
I did by the recovery mode path...
Mine it is Spanish terminal from company "yoigo".

bye

Diomorgan · Aug 9, 2011

So, if you are on Yoigo or Australian one and you want to de-brand+possibility of rooting with the given file, just put THIS original NO BRAND Huawei U8650 firmware on your SD in /dload/ folder (you'll see easily: the path is alresdy in the compressed file), turn off the phone, remove the battery a few seconds, than put SD and battery in the phone end turn it on with "VOL+" + "VOL-" + "ON" at the same time (yes, three buttons, but i'ts easy ;-)).
He will automatically upgrade the firmware to the unbranded one (obviously this is a reset too, so you'll lost your settings) in 2-4 minutes.
Than you'll have a cool UNBRANDEND U8650 phone that you can root with the procedure told in the posts before.
Enjoy ;-)

Diomorgan · Aug 12, 2011

No, everything ok here, Link2SD works too.

@linuxville

Can you tell me which languages are available in that rom? i have a u8650 from yoigo spain and only have english and spanish languages, i need portuguese language, does that rom have it?

Hi everybody;

I have a Huawei U8650 phone that called Turkcell T20 (Turkcell is a mobile phone operator in Turkey). But there is a difference between huawei U8650 and Turkcell T20, this difference is camera resolution. Turkcell T20 has 5 MP but U8650 has 3 MP camera.

I want to flash my phone to a rom that doesn't fully have stupid and can not removable Turkcell applications. But the different camera resolution is engrossing.

Do you think that the other roms is compatible with Turkcell T20 because of the different camera resolution? It could be a problem that flashing the other officials rom to my Turkcell T20???

Many thanks...

all of them are compitable. but some of them can not be rooted. and btw turkcell t20 is 3.1mp too. not 5mp. you may want to make phone root than delete the turkcell apps or if you want you can choose a rom and install. choice is yours my friend.

But now i have Turkcell T20, and the camera resolution is writen 5.0 MP in the manual and the back cover...

Then, please tell me my friend; which roms are can be rooted, or can not be rooted? I want to flash a rom to my phone, because i can not root my phone with Turkcell Rom...
