Just try pushing recovery via adb .. if you know how to use it
Do you mean fastboot isnt working? (3 skating andoids) it wont boot? or recovery doesnt work?
in the clockwork rom manager it has an option for broken recovery...
other than that put the recovery.img on the sdcard (the root of it) then connect the phone and type adb shell flash_image /sdcard/recovery.img
i have tried it with ADB its gives message
usage : Flash_image partition file.img
but it doesn't boot in recovery mod what to do now ?

How ever here you go man,

Code:
1. On your phone, goto Settings, Applications, and make sure Unknown source is checked ON.
2. On your phone, goto Settings, SD card and phone storage, and click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card (it should automatically remount after this).
4. Plug the phone into the compuer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
6. Save both the recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2 and the FlashRec.apk to your computer, then copy them both to your SD card (do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them on the SD card itself).
7. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
8. Goto the Market and download Linda File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
9. Open the file manager and goto SDCard and then find the FlashRec apk file and click it. If asked tell it to use Package Installer to open it. It should automatically install the apk.
10. Open the FlashRec program and click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish.
11. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type (again remember we have replaced the recovery image from the one in the video so type what is written here, NOT what is written in the video!):
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
Then click on the Flash Custom Recovery Image button (this button might say something else in different versions of Flashrec, but similar to this) and wait for it to finish.
12. Turn off the phone and turn it on into Recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn it on (keep holding until the recovery screen comes up has a bunch of text on a black background). So long as that screen comes up, you have done it correctly
Now this mite not work with your rom but it will not damage it in any way,
If point 10 fails then you will not be able to do it this way.
I know my self i had to downgrade my orange rom before doing it,
But before that point 10 just kept saying failed,
Downgrade and it worked a treat.
Hope that helps.
how to downgrade ???
Greetings,
I guess it did not work then,
As for the downgrade this depends on your provider,
I was able to get the orange rru thats a .exe and just run this,
But if you give have a look on the internet for your provider i am sure you will be able to find some thing,
If not get back to me with the name of your provider and the software you are on at this point and i will have a look for you.
my hero has no logo on it and its unlocked to all networks and i m using it in pakistan i m using warid as service provider and they dnt know anything about this issuee

Ok I guess I will ask again since no one answered. I searched the forums over and over, and its VERY VAUGE so please dont bother responding with smart remark...
I did eveything I was suppose to, to install this ROM (Cyanogen v4.1.999) on my MT3G. I am using RA-dream-v1.2.2 recovery image. When it boots up it is looping at the boot screen. Obviously you cant go into console with a mytouch because there is no keyboard. Can someone please help me to stop the looping and to get it going here.
I went into the recovery screen and partioned my sd card, and switched ext2 to ext3 , but then the loop stopped and it would simply sit at a black screen.
Anyone can take the time to IM me or simply help me would be appreciated

First I have to make a smart remark: Read the forum rules about opening up a new thread... the mod will probably close/delete this anyway.
Now about your problem...
Do you have a 32B or a 32A ?
(You can check by holding BACK+POWER when powering on your phone)

6- WIPE!!!! and format your ext3 partition !!!This will allow google apps to function, correctly.
7- Apply sdcard:choose zip *PICK HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip* from the list

Why Download HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ...i thought it was the O/I that i had to use
What is the O/I ?
i meant I/O
http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html
The http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=enomther/ROM/&file=HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip is a rooted I/O for MT3G. Better to take that one and not run the risk to end up with an unrooted phone again. Trust me, it works, I did it on my phone.
Make sure you follow my instructions to the letter and you will be fine.
Let me know the outcome.

That's an option of the 1.2.2 recovery "format ext partition"
hmm
Format ext partiton is not an option. I am using the Recovery-RA-dream-V1.2.2 and that not an option.
Also after I install HTC_ADP_1.6 it does not auto reboot and show me the unpacking symbol. It just sits at the recovery menu until i click reboot.

Yes yes, that is NORMAL because you are not using Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 !
Make SURE that when you selct REBOOT, IMMEDIATELY press HOME so that come into Recovery again !!! Then flash Cyanogen 4.1.999 !!!!
.
but i dont have a format option for the ext 3
Nevermind that then... just make sure you Wipe (even do it twice) then as an alternative choose 'Convert ext2 to ext3' and then choose 'Repair ext filesystem'.

I 'think' there is a compatible gChrome theme for 4.1.999 ... do a search.
I would wait for 4.2 before applying a theme though.

Correct, there is a gchrome theme. 0.3.5 for the 4.1.999. And it works like a charm

Myfaves works even without the apps, just set them up online...
Does this ROM go super slow for anyone else other than me?

You need to reformat the SD and redo install - its trying to run old apps - at least this was my problem
If you get stuck like this in the future, consider using adb. modifying partition tables/rebuilding/tuning filesystems is much faster and easier for me via adb shell. Your mileage may vary.
Hi Folks!
I was wondering. Half of may when the latest ROM-kernel came out I installed one. I'm satifsied with the stability of it but I'm going beserk of the waiting time when I want to view my SMS.
That's why I want to try a new ROM. The only problem is, I don't know who manufactured the one that's on my phone right now.
Is there a way to view who is the producer of the ROM that's on my phone right now?
Thanks in advanced!
Grtz
If u could upoad one file it will be easy to find who made custom ROM which you are using
Try:
adb remount
adb push /system/build.prop build.txt
Upload the build.txt file here
Go to settings/about phone/ scroll all the way down, and look in Build Number, you should be able to see whos roms is it, if its a custom rom ofcourse, also it depends if the file pusher change it or not.

I had asimilar issue after flashing an Eclair ROM which included the radio update. If you reflash an older ROM which doesn't change the radio back, there is an incompatibility issue. In my case I had flashed Acer_LiquidE_1.100.05_EMEA_GEN1 but my Nandroid backup was from an earlier release. I mistakenly restored my prior version when I wanted to make a new backup (tiny print, old eyes) and the result was no GSM. I lost USB and wasn't able to flash anything for almost a week until I figured it out.
If you are able to flash, doing a full wipe and reflash
Acer_LiquidE_1.100.05_EMEA_GEN1 should get your gsm. I think since your phone started with Eclair 2.1, you may need to put it back to what it started with. Just my 2c worth based on my trials and errors. I am not an android expert by any measure.
ok new probleeeeeeem ... and i'm lousing it ...

Hi!
I just passed to an android nand rom, before i had android from sd. It was very simple for me to install apps, i just passed the files .apk to the folder Android Apps in the folder of Android Sd and when i reeboted the phone the app was installed.
Now my question is, i have nand android and tried to place an .apk app in the root of the sd, reeboted, and nothing was installed.
I tried to search for an answer but nothing, can somebody please explain me how to install apps in this nand version?
And also.... how can i remove boot sound? i cannot enter in recovery mode... in the sd version i had the option to reebot in it by holding the power button (but really never worked), and now in nand version i have only the option to Reebot, Shutdown, or Put in silent mode.
Thanks!
Hmm..are you talking about installing typical apps or some special apps? cause for most of apps you can install them as simply as coping the .apk file to your SD or even download them directly from the web to your SD,then browse to where you copied/downloaded them using your file manager and simply click on the app to install it,or there is the hard way by using 'adb' and the command " install -s yourappname.apk".About that recovery issue,you can't access recovery mode from the power menu on HD2 android,however we do have a working recovery image in some other way,so you might wanna do some reading HERE first. Hope i helped or even understood you correctly,if you need more help just be more specific and i'll be glad to help you further.Cheers!

my problem now is.. i don't have a file manager because i cannot install this famous apps like i did in the past with sd version. Usually i placed the apk file in AndroidApps and the app whas installed in automatic when i reeboted. Now in this nand version i don't have this folder and in rom i don't have a file manager... (still i don't understand why android doesn't have one in stock like wm had).... and so i cannot install nothing... i neither cannot access to phone storage because if i select the option when i connect the phone to connect with Htc Sync the phone gets stuck searching for Htc Sync in my computer... I don't know which is the solution now and i don't understand why nobody in forum speaks about this problem i have.

It's not really a problem,dude. simply go to market and install ANY file manager you like then you would be able to do whatever you want,i would recommend 'esfile manager' it nice one and works almost with every build.You can also do it using 'adb' on your pc.
"(still i don't understand why android doesn't have one in stock like wm had)"<--That will always be a wonder to me,it seems kinds stupid not to add it,maybe they depend on you to access market and get one yourself.
thanks
ok, thankyou mate. in all cases i'll try to flash another rom with the ClockworkMod Recovery, i've seen the video and it seems a very good program, also because of the backup and restore option, i really like it.
Ight,just make sure you are downloading a rom with the '.zip' format for clockwork not any nand build,not all of them are packed into '.zip' at least not yet.Glad i could help.

a last question, i've seen that if i pass from a daf rom to a zip rom it's better if i whipe the system before flashing, maybe not wiping can cause issues, you know how to?

Sure,after you install clockwork you will find an option inside it's sub menu 'called wipe...something something' don't really recall,but it's there you will find all the instructions for clockwork in the thread for it.

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
I suggest people start using genokolar's version instead, available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067490
Clockwork Recovery port based on Koush's 3.0.2.8 source.
Available here: http://www.multiupload.com/DQGL84P3A5
Source available on my github: https://github.com/stockwell/u8800-clockwork-recovery-port (bit messy.. will do a cleanup when I have the time)
BIG THANKS TO 357546 for creating the new kernel!!
v4 Notes:
- Now using 357546's kernel with fixed framebuffer driver capable of RGB565!
- Seems to be fully functional aside from rom manager integration
- Some small cleanups in init scripts and sbin
Detailed Installation:
- Ensure that there are no Huawei rom updates on your SD-Card in the dload folder and unplug the phone from your computer
- Boot to bootloader mode by pressing the up and down volume keys and pressing the power button. This will show a plain violet/purple screen.
- Connect the phone to your computer. In windows it will automatically mount one mass storage device which corresponds to the /cust_backup folder on your phone. If your OS supports EXT3 it will mount multiple devices, look for the one with an images directory and this is the device to use.
- In the images directory rename recovery.img to something else (ie. recovery.bak) and then copy the new recovery image in its place.
- Unmount the mass storage device to ensure all cached writes are completed and then disconnect from the computer. Exit bootloader mode by pulling out the battery.
You now have the clockwork recovery installed. Boot to recovery by holding the volume up and power buttons to turn the phone on.
wow！
hope for a perfect recovery!
Any feedback on this?

Good stuff man, thanks for the work you're doing.
good job bro
Thanks for the support! I've got an issue though, I've applied the recovery but when I press the vol buttons and power I am taken to the purple screen instead of the green recovery menu. V2 worked fine though......not sure if anyone else is having the same issue?

Hey, just a question on that topic - I goto 'Backup Current ROM' and it asks me to install clockmod recovery, and asks to verify what model of phone; obviously u8800 isn't an option on the list.
So.... Aroo? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious
actually you don't need to install rom manager
just follow the instructions in this post

That would be v2 of my recovery port actually. As stated this version fixes usb mass storage mounting and implements off-mode charging.
made a backup without problem.. thx..

I mentioned in mine that it was Stockwells, maybe I didn't make this clear. Sorry about that in that case.
Either way I better get this up on my site to be mirrored

When you are in recovery after the last step which says so, are you just suppose to take the first option "reboot system now"?
Sorry, completely beginner with these kinds of stuff.
Edit: I guess I should choose backup and restore> backup but when i do so it says "Can't mount SD-card"
I have serious problem by finding the bootloader drivers! The driver update is failing all the time? Do some of you have the driver folder you can give me?
THX!

Feel free to just have a poke around and see what it can do. At the moment the only really useful thing is backup and restore.
I'm not sure why it won't mount the sd. I should mention that it does not use the internal 'sd-card' so you'll get that error if you don't have an external sd-card inserted.

I didn't think that drivers were needed, it should just come up with the mass storage device. From what I remember there are two other devices that windows detects but cannot find drivers for, but don't stress about that as it's not needed. Try it again and see how it goes, it may have mounted but you were stressing about the drivers so missed that it was working.
Dear developers,
I have deleted (by mistake) program Launcer from my Smartphone and now it is not going to load. When I turn on it, there is only symbol of IDEOS. After a minute symbol starting to twinkle, but system not loading.
Could you please tell me how can I return to original firmware?
I hope someone will be able to support me.
If the launcher is the problem, you can just install another, or push again the original from a rom via adb. I assume that the device is rooted(I think you cannot delete a system app if isn´t). If you can connect to pc, then possibly you can install a launcher from huawei' s suite(I´m not sure because I don' t use windows and I haven't try this app) or from a android file manager like QtADB, Android commander or Droid Explorer. You can also install it only with adb via windows command prompt:

And maybe, if wifi is enabled and connected, you can just install a launcher from market via pc' s web browser:

The Modaco wiki has a list of original firmwares, but no link to Huawei works anymore. However, it is possible to download the latest China Unicom firmware - which does contain english language support. That should at least get you started.
As a new user I can't post links yet, but it is easy to find if you look for u8800 software, and then switch to Chinese.
Put the extracted directory (dload) on an sd card, in the top/root, put it in the phone and then hold volume down and power on.
Note, this will blow everything away to start from scratch so make sure it is what you want. In addition everything will be in Chinese so you need to be able to navigate to the settings to set it to English.
Better ideas? I am a noob myself so no guarantees...
I have unrooted it before to delete some trial games. And deleted Launcher by mistake.
I can't connect via usb now.
I'm afraid if I upgrade firmware, I have less memory because old one will not be deleted. Or maybe I'm wrong?
No, you're not gonna have less memory.
Did you tried to wipe to factory defaults from recovery mode(power button and vol+)?
You will not have less space because an original firware will format everything from boot partition, system and data... Basically , it will give you original software and status like it came from factory ... Like the other user said, jut find it, extract it , put the dload directory to the root of you sd card and hold volume down and start up the phone ... You will see a progress bar and when it is finished , the phone will restart itself, you will have to wait longer due to the creation of new files and there you go

Install recovery first, then you can connect your device to PC using recovery. If you have friend that have X5, copy the launcher. Else, just install Custom ROM.
The old one will be removed if you install custom ROM. If I'm not wrong.
Recovery.
Unplug USB, turn off your phone, press and hold vol + and -, then press power. Hold those three buttons until it turned on and the screen is purple-pink.
Backup all image data(copy). The rest is in the link.
Sorry for my English. Hope you understand what I write..

You are magician. it works now.
hmmm... but there is no launcher application - no workspace available. it doesn't want to load as before. strange.
upgrade don't work too. It is cycle repeating of step1/2.
I just tested and found that you can copy the missing apk from bootloader mode. In this mode(power + vol- + vol+ buttons), when connected to pc via usb cable all partitions of device mounted(at least this happens on linux). So, you can navigate to system partition on /system/app folder and copy there the missing launcher' s apk file. You can find this file on a custom' s rom(or on an official' s rooted rom like modaco's roms) update.zip file. It's on system/app folder. I tested this on linux and I could(not as normal but as root user though) copy or delete files from there.
dancer_69, thank you for your support. At my side when I connect via bootmode, there is only flashdrive is visible.
It's really strange that it is not going to upgrade.
I'm able to apply sdcard:update.zip. So maybe if to put this application inside of the card, it could install. but I don't know how to do it.
I finded apk file and tried to install it but it don't receive file because it hasn't some certificate. ???
I think you have 3 options here.
1. flash an official rom(you put the dload folder of rom's zip file on root of sdcard and boot to bootloader mode. The update starts automatic)
2. Use a linux system(maybe a livecd) to access the other partitions.
3. Try to reroot the device from pc, via superoneclick app(you can find it here), so to have access to system again.
but I haven't access to installation program area. nothing!
I have only ability by pressing (vol + and on) to choose install update.zip from flash card.
so.
1. when I runned new firmware from dload it didn't install. it was cycling at first level (1/2)
2. linux is good idea. but I'm not sure that it's will be profitable. maybe I have turned off access to partitions inside of phone
3. I can't install superoneclick as I'm not able to install any application.
I hope we are closer to some geniously idea. I have bought phone yesterday and we haven't service center in our city. So, I need to buy the other one.
This is not so serious problem, it' s not hardware, it´ software related. And I think you cannot turn off access so easy.
The superoneclick is a pc application. You don't need to install something on device(if I remember well, because I use it once before a long time). You can try it.
And you can try linux too.
I don't think that this is a problem that only service can solve it.
What firmware you tried? Try another one. And better try to find the one that you device has(if you know it)
Thank you for positive opinion.
1. Will try to change firmware as you said. Try 2 more firmware from Huawei.
2. Superoneclick needs approval from phone, today night I wasn't able to run it.
3. I'll try Linux too.

Thank you very much for your excellent support. It's work now after trying of other firmware. Everything is excellent now.
I only noticed that battery is no very capacitive.
Please, send me your paypal account, I want to donate you a little.
