Rookie's Guide with stock froyo rom .

Turn off your phone.
Hold vol + , vol- and power on , until a pink screen appears.
Connect usb cable to laptop and it appears a window with image folder .
Save this stock image folder to your pc .
Then , open image folder and replace the "recovery.img" , with this ..( http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1ppwv0zavy09a04 ).. recovery 5.0.2.7 for u8800 pro ( extract the zip first to find the "recovery.img" ).
After the replacement of recovery.img , disconnect usb cable , pull battery out , and after 10 second insert it again .
Then hold vol+ and power on , continuously for 15 seconds , until the CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 appears.
Navigate into recovery with vol buttons , confirm with search button , and back with arrow back button.
Then , you have to take a backup of your phone's stock rom .
Choose , "backup and restore" , from recovery menu and choose "back up" , it'll take about 5 min to finish , depending on numper of applications you have .
Then , go back to recovery menu and choose "reboot system now".
After boot , connect your phone to your laptop again and you'll see in your sd card a new folder , "clockworkmod" folder ( this is your stock's rom backup ) , save this folder also in your laptop , along with stock "image" folder.
Then , put the zip of the rom .. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lzma1gl260g58ml .. ( Horsemageddon_NEW.zip ) in your sd card , without extract it .
Disconnect your phone and turn it of .
You're ready to flash , Horsemageddon NEW
Get into recovery again ( vol+ , power on continuously ) and follow the "INSTALLATION" method , described in first post .... :beer:

EDIT
Renaming stock recovery to "recovery.backup.img" or anything else , is optional , assuming you allready save whole stock "image folder .

Of course you can go back to stock.
That's why you make a backup.

How to restore your backup.
Put the "clockworkmod" folder in your sd card .
Turn off the phone , and get into recovery ( 5.0.2.7 ) .
Now choose , backup and restore .
Then choose the option "restore" .
Select to restore your backup , and after finishing you will be again with stock rom .

I have XP, how do I go about using the USB tether. Also, what kind of cable do I need to use to get TV out to work?

HELP - stuck in bootloop

I installed the HORSEMAGEDDON ROM and it worked - for the most part. But it kept giving me annoying errors about different apps that were attempting to update every time I turned it on. So I tried to restore my backup that I had made with CWM 6.0.2.8. It appeared to restore okay except it didn't find an sd-ext so skipped restoring it. However the backup apparently did not restore properly because it now boot loops back into CWM any time I try to start it. I get the errors:

E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log

So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON but it still loops back into the CWM recovery screen.

I have wiped everything according to the instructions on the HORSEMAGEDDON thread.

HELP!! This happened to me on another U8800-51 phone and I wound up hard bricking it trying to get back to stock

The instructions are for u8800pro ...
This is a froyo 2.2 rom and you must ask a -51 user about how to flash this rom without problems ..

In numerous posts throughout the U8800 forums people have flashed Pro ROM's to -51 phones. The problem is NOT that I not couldn't flash this ROM to my phone. It WORKED just fine. It is when I attempted to restore back to stock I ran into issues.

I really hope I can get some solid advice and not be told what I shouldn't have done even when it worked just fine.

You cannot restore a backup from a gb or ics rom when you are in froyo ...
Maybe you must flash an official rom to solve your problem, but still i'm not sure if it's the same procedure as on u8800pro ..
Follow the -51 procedure to flash an official firmware .

Where in my posts did you see that I made the backup from ICS or Gingerbread? I was on 2,2 when I flashed the Horsemageddon ROM. It is a Foryo based ROM, not ICS or Gingerbread. Before I flashed it I backed up from CWM on 2.2. So how do you make the illogical conclusion I was trying to restore a Gingerbread or ICS backup?

If you know where I can find a procedure to fix my problem or if you can give me the steps to do so then please help me out. Otherwise stop making stupid statements that have absolutely nothing to do with my situation or problem. I don't mean to be rude but you are not helping at all and you don't seem to know what you are talking about.

Yes, i'm totally stupid , i'm so sorry that i couldn't understand your problem , you were so sufficient at your previous posts ...

I apologize for implying that you are stupid. It is not what I meant, but my frustration level with this problem is very high. I do realize I wasn't extremely clear in my original post.

Okay. Here is what I did step by step:

1. I was on Stock 2.2.2 Froyo and flashed HORSEMAGEDDON successfully. But I had some errors related to updates since it was such an old ROM the updates were all for much newer versions of the apps tied to 4.x.x.
2. I attempted to restore my backup made with CWM 6 to return to the stock. It said it completed successfully but when I rebooted it just looped into the recovery screen with the error messages posted in my first post.
3. So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON and it said it completed successfully. But it still bootloops into recovery.
4. I can access most of the features of the recovery. I can access the pink screen and swap recovery versions. I can access my SD card from my PC when I mount it from recovery.
5. Yes, I did do full wipes with each attempt to reflash.

The ROM was not the problem. It worked and worked well other than update issues for apps. It was only after attempting to restore to stock I ran into issues.

The problem appears to be something was corrupted when I tried to restore my backup, even though it said it completed successfully.

So if I try to flash yet another custom ROM, even if I could find one I trust given all of the version issues etc., I don't think it would act any differently. But if somebody can recommend one I am all ears. Keep in mind I have a -51 phone so it will have to be for that or the PRO.

Given that, how can I get back to stock? Am I the only person who has ever had this problem? I don't believe that is the case, so somebody must know how to fix it or can point me to a procedure to repair the internal memory.

Help!!

I don't know the procedure to flash official firmware on -51 ...
I can't help you, i have u8800pro and the same problem you can solve it by flashing official firmware.
Hope a -51 user will help you, or ask somcom3x , maybe he can help you.

    this is great news gkalenis. can't wait to flash you new rom. i hate the white menu in froyo settings. is it going to be black the contacts menu also? :cyclops:

    All menu backgrounds are black , settings,contacts,etc....
    And i add a new .png file , that anyone can change the background with any image ( 480×800 ) he likes as background.
    I send you a p.m. to our greek forum to test the new framework_res_hwext.apk



    Would be nice to have update zip instead of flashig whole rom, or thats too complicated?

    Btw, what abaut other colors, are you planning more various themes like grey, gree&grey, black&orange etc etc :)

    I understand this takes time and you dont get any benefit from what you do to us, I'm just asking :)

    Sent from my U8800PRO


    Well zyzas , i can do a lot of theming now , i can change almost everything in framework and i can do it with flashable zip.
    Also others Horse Riders , asked me for other themes and colours and i have to tell you that i will support this rom with theming .
    I'm happy of learning a lot of thinks in XDA community , i don't care of benefits right now , i just want to learn more ... so i want a little patience from all of you to release more themes with new colours.
