[HELP] Bricked My U8800 [15Feb2013 Update]

---

Now, I dont usually open threads, but I have an issue here. I've searched and read a lot on how to recover the U8800 in case its soft-bricked, but I've tried the reflashing 2.2 method (Fails in about 5 seconds), Linux method (blefish's method, buzzcomp's method could not yield any results. I connected the phone in the bootloader mode (pink screen) to a Linux PC, but it doesnt appear as a new device there.

Then I tried to upgrade to 2.3, it installs fine, automatically enters recovery (formats data, cache etc), reboots a lot of times (bootloop?). So now whenever I on my phone, the Huawei logo just keeps flashing.

I've also tried to replace the files when connected in the pink screen by replacing the boot.img , recovery.img, amss.bin , EMMCBOOT.mbn file, yet it bootloops.

Prior to this, I had downgraded from Aurora to the stock 2.2, which worked fine. Then I replaced the stock recovery with CWM (the correct one, not the U8800 Pro's). I did the usual clearing of cache, data, formatted system, wiped dalvik cache in order for me to upgrade to a new ROM. Everything went downhill from there

UPDATE : I managed to get 2.3 to be installed. But everytime I enable "USB Debugging", upon the next reboot, there will be a lot of apps which closes unexpectedly, like the Huawei Launcher, Google Framework etc etc. I've tried B526 and B528, but everytime I have "USB Debugging" enabled, this happens. It works fine on 2.2 though

UPDATE 2 : After my fresh installation of the official 2.3, I'd changed the launcher to Holo Launcher, but it fails at starting up. If it does, it keep saying that Holo launcher has closed unexpectedly. The only way to fix it is to boot into recovery and wipe data.

Any help?

U make mistake when you using more method to repair that device. Do you repartition before this. U must back to official partitiob fisrt. Flash that official partition once only not like the tutorial. I face that problem before but everything good now

Where can i find the stock partition flash file?

I've found the original partition file from geno, flashed it then installed the official 2.3

everything seems fine, but if i change any settings like turning off fast boot, USB debugging, etc, the phone will bootloop.

UPDATE : I had fast boot disabled, booted in, and now I'm flooded by FC notifications....

hey i have this same mistake, i have the first boot fine after installing the official rom, but when i reboot the phone in normal boot (diisable fastboot) the phone gets bootloop, so i can't root it in order to put a new rom. i've downgrade to 2.2 froyo and get sum errors after installation but seems to work fine with 2.2 (can even root and install cwm).

after this i try again to upgrade to 2.3 official gingerbread, fist boot is fine, but when i reboot i get again stuck in bootloop... pls help

I am having the exact same issue, does anyone know how to fix this?

The problem is solved？

I dont know for sure. I flashed another B528, same issues. Tons of FC messages.

I flashed an older B517, installed CWM, flashed DZO's excellent Aurora 5.0, and everything seems fine, for now.
