I'm going crying! :( I did all like you said to me and like the huawei's handbooks say but I don't know what is the problem. Now I have Mario's ROM, can you install an official ROM from here? I think that I have a different problem because I can't install other ROMS like FrozenPika10_v1.5.6, the recovery give me back a error message about a bad folder. I saw too when I did wipe data something like "nop app2sd partition found. Skipping format..."more something that I didn´t note. I have Ivan's recovery. Could you or someone help me? Thanks for helping TUPAC_RIP ;)

I see you are a little confused. Let's take things from the start.
If you want to flash any official ROM you do it with the ''dload'' method.
If you want to flash any custom ROM you do it with recovery.
But notice that:
If you have any GB ROM (official or not) and you want to try another GB ROM you can use recovery 5.0.2.7 because the baseband version is the same (404020).
If you have any GB ROM (official or not) and you want to try any ICS ROM or any JB ROM you must upgrade first. That means you have to flash the official ICS ROM with the ''dload'' method first, unlock the bootloader and then flash a custom ICS ROM with recovery 5.0.2.7 or a custom JB ROM with Ivan's recovery.
If you have any ICS ROM or any JB ROM and you want to try any GB ROM you must downgrade first.(only update.app form step 2 from the official GB ROM)
The reason is that ICS ROMs and JB ROMs have diffrent baseband version (404029) than GB ROMs (404020).
So what do you want to do?
I hope I've helped.

About the ''dload'' method: I have three last suggestions for you. First is to use a 2GB microSD not more. Second is to go to settings,storage,software upgrade and press sd card upgrade. Third is to remove the battery and connect the phone to your PC through the USB.

Whatever you do make sure you have a lot of battery.

In your case i think something is wrong with your sd.

As I said before try with a 2GB microSD. If the same happens format the sd and put only the ''dload'' folder with the update.app in it. Or connect your phone to PC and try without battery.
There is nothing more i can suggest.

You don´t understand me. It supose that if you do step 2 you'll be able to installed Kalo's ROM. I tried that and the mobile said to me "instalation failed", after I tried to do with all the steps (first step1, second step2...) and in the step 1 the mobile gave back the pink screen. :crying:

I think that I find out the problem, my bootloader may be corrupt (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1324266 (the katu2006's post)), now the problem is that the download which appear on this page would be for U8800, i'm not sure if they are used in U8800+.

Can somebody resolve this doubt or give the fields if the fields of this page don't are usefull?

Thanks you so much ;), although finally I haven't used the fields, but I can update. I've searched in google and I found a page where some people had the same problem as me (http://mobile-expert.talkwhat.com/view/MnIsGlMnIEmNqYeEmNQgA.html) and the solution is make a Format boot,plus all the normal wipes and Format system. After that my mobile update without problems!!:highfive::fingers-crossed::victory:
Now I have other poblem, I installed the recovery 5.0.2.7 and it runs without problems, but when I've already done all wipes I went to install the kalo's ROM that I have in the SD and the recovery didn't found it.:confused: I put more ROMS and neither is detected. I tried to format the SD and it happen the same

I going to cry :crying::crying: ... I solve a problem and after that, it appear other different... now the recovery can find the fields but when I try to installed the kalo's rom, it said me that the field is bad and it don't let me install. I did all the wipes and format system, instead when I reboot my mobile it didn't pass of the incial screen of huawei... Luckily I had the custom ROM 540 in my SD and I could install and it saved me of the disaster. There are an explication for that?

    PREREQUISITES - ATTENTION PLEASE

    a) ROM
    Gingerbread 2.3.5 Stock Huawei version (B512, B521, B540, B552, B565, B572)
    or any customized Gingerbread ROM (CyanogenMod, MIUI, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7)
    or any ICS Rom (DZO Aurora, Genokolar MIUI v4);

    b) Recovery
    CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
    If you have the stock recovery, you will not be able to install any customized ROM. So, you have to do these steps: download the CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7 (previous link to download the file), power off your device and turn on into Pink Screen Mode (holding down VOL+, VOL- and Power button). Plug in your usb cable to your pc and wait for the automount of the new drive. Navigate to the /image folder and rename the stock "recovery.img" into "recovery.bak".
    Now simply copy the CWM Recovery into the /image folder and be sure that its name is "recovery.img", otherwise you have to rename it into "recovery.img".
    Unmount the periferic, remove the usb cable and extract the battery to shutdown the phone. That's all.
    You can verify the new recovery installation entering in recovery mode (holding down VOL+ and Power button).


    INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR FULL PACKAGE

    0) Make sure that you have installed all prerequisites;
    1) Download the zip file of the rom with your pc;
    2) Shutdown your smartphone and to be really sure unplug the battery;
    3) Insert your battery and power on your smartphone into recovery mode holding down VOL+ and the power button (be sure that you have the CWM 5.0.2.7);
    4) Go to advanced ---> reboot recovery;
    5) At the new recovery boot go to "mount and storage";
    6) Mount usb storage;
    7) Plug in your usb-microusb cable;
    8) Copy the downloaded zip file into the external sdcard;
    9) Wipe data/factory;
    10) Wipe cache;
    11) Wipe Dalvik Cache;
    12) [OPTIONAL if you experience a huge battery drain only] Wipe Battery Stats;
    13) Go to "mount and storage", then "format /system";
    14) Install zip from sdcard;
    15) choose zip from sdcard and select the downloaded zip file;
    16) Install complete!
    17) reboot system now.

    Please wait about 2 minutes for the install process and be patient for the first boot.
    At the first boot the default language has been set to English. This choise because the rom needs to be more international possible.
    Anyway the rom is multilanguage and offers the default available languages of the stock Android base-rom.
    The default keyboard is the stock Android Latin.

    well done
    i'm glad , because you put the ,, patched libsqlite ,, in your update (1.7) ...
    its a great work from ,, mik_os ( a great developer )
    i think that this version , gonna make even happier the users of your rom...
    i'm a fan of your work , even if i'm steel riding my horse ... :)
    congratsulations again ..

    for those who still wondering what it does
    read this and i hope you'll understand.......

    Android phones as the underlying database using sqlite3. sqlite3 writes efficiency is very low, because the sync feature turned on by default, and fsync() must be performed after each insertion, the resulting system efficiency is low, and the disk life is reduced.

    I try to disable sync feature by default in exchange for greater IO performance and reduce disk consumption. While doing so may result in data integrity problems, but I still like to use it because most of the sqlite insert action can be completed within a few seconds, not too much to consider issues such as sudden power-down.

    After modified, the time of insert 2000 records to sqlite3 db, from 1m11s reduce to 2s.

    -----------------------------

    With Android applications, the database operation is non-persistent, normal step in app is:
    1.open db
    2.do read/write
    3.close db
    with step3, the data in cache will be flush to disk. so user will not notice any sudden lag, always smooth.

    With SYNC-ON, the db operation like this:
    1.open db
    2.1. write a record/do a transcation
    2.2. fsync()
    2.3. write a record/do a transcation
    2.4. fsync()
    .....
    3.close db/fsync()

    with SYNC-OFF, operation like this:
    1.open db
    2.1 write a record/do a transcation
    2.2 write a record/do a transcation
    ....
    3. close db/fsync()

    So, no-sync can significantly save IO time.

    I FOUND IT
    download this ... http://www.mediafire.com/?2ues73f06ialncf
    i was made this for kalo's v1 , but i think its the same,, so you can use it ....
    unzip , and open the folder ..
    first make a BACKUP ,, and then put it via root explorer , in , system/framework .. (replace it with the existing one)
    give permissions ( rw-r--r-- ) , and reboot your phone ..
    dont worry , it needs 2-3 minutes to boot again ...

    THIS IS ONLY FOR TERMAGAZIS
    IF HE TEST IT AND ITS OK ,,
    Then you can use it , all the others , users of this rom

    so we'll have to wait , termagazis to respond , and tell us if it works

    well.. friend , korekore1 ,, is right about MIUI dialer , its more than a theme ... ;)

    so i decide to make a dialer for , KALO V1.8 ,, and probably gonna work also for V1.6 and V1.7 .....
    i took the .png's from , bluemagic theme ...

    THEMED DIALER ... download
    http://www.mediafire.com/?eep3y6km85m57fe

    and the , themed settings.apk , gonna work also for V1.8 ...
    http://www.mediafire.com/?7lkzal5skit8hvl

    HOW TO INSTALL , the themed dialer ...

    first , unzip ..
    then , via root explorer , COPY , the contacts.apk and phone.apk , and PASTE them to ,, system ,, give permissions (rw-r--r-- ) and then ,MOVE , both apps to ,, app ,, and replace them ... reboot and enjoy ...
    the path is ,, system/app ,, but we have to do the above trick to avoid force close before we give permissions ,, thats why we give permissions to ,, system ,, and then we move them to ,, app .... ( easy) :cool:

    if someone could make screenshots , i appreciate it .... :)
