Is it bricked? Need help u8800

---

Hello Guys from XDA:

THis is my first post here. First of all: Thank you stockwell, dzo and franco for the great job here of developing!!
My english is not the best one (I'm from germany) but I hope you can understand my problem.
My mobile phone is an Huawei Ideos x5 u8800.
I've seen the [2011-10-31]U8800Pro Android v2.3.5[Official ROM][UPDATE Screenshot] and thought "Cool- Gingerbread...." and I've flashed it.
I've done backups (from Clockworkmod and Titanium Backup and the "image" folder from the partition with the boot.img and recovery.img files in it).

The flashing process finished...wonderfull... and then I've seen it: U8800Pro. Damned.
Now after round about 5 hours I can't reanimate the phone to work When I start it I see the white HUAWEI Logo...and thats it.
So I want to flash the old stock rom "STOCK ROM B138SP04CUSTESTC205D001EsthoniaElisa" - but this failed! I've put the dload folder with the two update files in in onto the sd card. When I start the bootloader (normally the pink screen) the normal firmware update start.
After Step 1/2 the phone says "Update failed". The whole time the LED is blinking red and after "update failed" very fast! I've never seen this before!.

Then I've used the first "OVER_SEAS_GENERAL_VERSION" - the same problem.
BUT I could flash the "U8800Pro Android v2.3.5" from the link a second time (without the red LED)!
A normal start ends up whith a freezing white huawei LOGO or some rebootings with a little vibration and a black screen at startup.


Short sentences:

• Flashed the U8800Pro Android v2.3.5 - phone only goes to the white huawei screen at start after finished update process.

• Flashing back to B138 or the general version (i think this was B135?) failed with fast blinking red LED light and "updated failed" after unpacking (1/2).

• I see the partition where the "image" folder was when I connect the phone to my PC (with an empty dload folder on SDCard).

So now I have no idea what to do and I hope that someone here in this great forum could help me.

Thanks a lot!

Do you have CWM?
If you can, try to format system, cache and data from CWM. (You can found in Mount... menu)
Then try to reinstall B138.

i think u could try the following:

(1) boot into bootloader mode (pink screen): "power" + "volume up" + "volumn down"
(2) connect phone to pc, copy the backed-up image folder back to the phone (with an "image" folder in root and backed up files under "image" folder.. should be 4 files: amss.mbn, boot.img, EMMCBOOT.mbn & recovery.img)
(3) remove battery to power off and reinsert battery
(4) flash B138 as usual

if this succeeds, then u have ur U8800 back..

I don't think your phone is bricked.
During the installation of the Stock Roms the recovery.img and boot.img files get replaced/modified and that's why your phone gets stuck at the Huawei logo.
Try the following:
Boot the phone in Bootloader (pink screen) by holding Vol+, Vol- and Power, format the partition with FAT32, create a folder called "image" and copy the following files on there.

EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v
Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac
Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97

Once the files are copied, just disconnect the USB cable and remove the battery. Then boot into Recovery by pressing the Vol+ and Power. If you manage to get into CWM Recovery, then it's all good, you can install a custom Rom like Oxygen (
https://sourceforge.net/projects/u8800oxygen/files/ ) by selecting "install zip from SD Card" option.
You'll probably have to use the MOUNT functions within the Recovery to transfer the Oxygen.zip file to your root folder of the SD Card.

Me too did the same thing .... tried both iamelton and katu2006 method but no go.......
