[Q] Fugumod USB issue, XXJPN compatibility

Hi all,
I am on XXJPM with fugumod 2.2BE and I am sure it was just a fugumod what makes my phone unconnectable as USB device.Replug does not work, setting phone to ASK HOW USB USE does not solve it.KIES is piece of crap , so it is normal it does not connect.When phone is connected as USB device, sometimes drive letter is assigned, but unreadable, sometimes no drive letter assigned.
Any tips ?
Is Fugumod 2.2 compatible with XXJPN ? I am thinking about XXJPN and about Kyrillos 4.1 (hope he will make it with XXJPN too )
Now I am at higher level of some bubble game, so I am affraid of flash to lost all and start all from the beginning - trust me move and copy back 32 GB of data is ARMAGEDON
BTW, it there any way how to remove UNUSABLE TOTALLY GAY media files searching from phone ? It take soooooooooooooooo long and sometimes with fugumod it makes phone unusable.You cant access menu even after 5 mins on 32 GB microSDHC card ...

You must install driver properly.

I installed it properly, KIES NEVER connect, but sometimes USB is connected ... weird
BTW, did anyone tried I5800XXJPN firmware ?
I want to flash is via ODIN as usualyl, but I am affraid of this because I read at development section there are some bootloaer what can hard brick phone.
So now I have no idea if I can flash normally as one package with BOOT included or I have to uncpack tar content and flash only some of bin files

You can flash JPN normally... no need to worry.. Chances of bricking your phone is when something goes wrong during flashing. At that time if you close ODIN or unplug USB your phone will be hard bricked.
Removing bootloader and sbl.bin is recommended to avoid bricking.
You can download 7zip, what i use, open tar using it, delete bootloader and sbl and flash it

I don't think you can get rid of media files search process because basicly it's the way Android mounts the SD card (yes, it's done after system boots). And anyway, you probably keep some apps on your SD, so if you don't mount the SD you are not able to use them (or any files SD for that matter). Maybe 32GB is too much for our humble i5800

OK, I am on XXJPN now, I had problem reenable root access just because of driver problem - solved by reinstalling driver from superoneclick 1.9.1 release.
I discovered as at case of Galaxy S, if SD card removed from phone, then there are no problem connect to KIES.If card is present aphone, then I have no way to connect to KIES ...

[Q] Boot Loop, help?

IN MY INFINITE WISDOM, I replaced my build.prop with the one from a Motorola Xoom in an attempt to get Sketchbook Pro to show up in the market. Now my tablet is boot looping.
I backed the original up in the same directory, as build.prop.OLD. If I could mount system and replace the file with a PC, I'd imagine that the tablet would work again. How could I do that?
However, THERE IS ANOTHER COMPLICATION! I used the 'Acer Phone Disabler' app to remove the telephony drivers, which means that I cannot flash a rom or the tablet will brick. I'm not sure what this means for Nandroid backups.
The tablet has the leaked stock 3.1 rom installed, it's rooted, and it has Clockworkmod recovery.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Oh god.
I used ADB to pull my build.prop.OLD, renamed it to build.prop, and pushed it back. Now... the tablet boots up, and it shows the Android "Welcome" screen. Clicking the only button available doesn't work. It just highlights as if it is selected, and doesn't do anything when I lift my finger up.
I DO have a Nandroid backup from several weeks ago of the same rom, but from BEFORE I removed the telephony drivers. I am only going to try restoring it as a last resort; does anyone have any ideas? Remember, flashing a rom would result in a brick because I used Acer Phone Disabler. Is a nandroid backup safe?
Thanks guys. I'm really hoping this tablet isn't too screwed.

I'm hoping someone else chimes in here but I am under the impressing that the nandroid backup would override any changes you could make as long as you don't break recovery. As far as my experience goes if you had a backup of your current configuration you could do an "advanced restore" and only restore your "system"

Restoring just system worked! My homescreen is back to stock but all my apps are still installed, so I don't really care. Thanks a bunch, I was so worried.

COOL!!!
Glad I could help.

Help needed for a boot loop
Well as said in the video, i reuse an existing thread about bootloop...
I'm stuck in a bootloop with an iconia A500... but let's look at the steps that got me there...
The First mistake was to answer yes to my friend who asked me to connect his Vodafone k3565 to his iconia A500, but as i read Android was linux based and i did use linux a lot as a student, i didn't even imagine it could go wrong...
Tablet was stating to run :
Android 3.1
Bernel 2.6.36.3-00009-9dddf6f2
Build 4.015.05-EMEA-CUS3
i did root with iconia root 1.3
then added Busybox and a terminal program.
reboot, try a SU and could access the devices
Here is the second mistake... i should have wondered how to restore to normal state before starting, because i don't have any SD card that suit the device ( mine are normal sized ones, you know.. Stamp sized :/ )
Then i got to the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058846&page=7
and i used an usb key to transfer it to the device, but before applying the files i took a look to them and found 3 of them would overwrite actual system files, so i did a backup of them :
/system/build.prop
/system/etc/apns-conf
/system/bin/rild
and looking at the build.prop i saw differences in the values of the one on the A500 and the one in the package so i decided to get only the missing lines from the new system.zip file and add them to the original file
And here is the 3rd mistake, and i guess the reason of the problem : i did that merge on a windows computer, and i fear it did add those pesky CRLF at the end of lines, turning my build.prop into a build.prob(lem).
I'm not sure, as i didn't check before it was too late.
rebooted and... boot loop, with 1 times out of 2, the little android with yellow triangle and exclamaition mark.
Cried, runned in circles, then looked on forums to find a solution.
Reboot with Power+Volume gives :
"Erasing cache before SD update...
SD update cmd:recovery
--update_package=sdcard:update.zip
Booting recovery kernel image"
Then i get the android with gears for a few seconds, then below him is a bar like the one in the android store when you download a file, then half a second later, again the exclaimation mark.
I also tried plugging a keyboard to hit the home key...
( in fact two : Logitech G110 and trust easy scroll silverline )
no difference, maybe because those are gaming keyboards and they arent loaded soon enough by the tab, or maybe it crashes before keyboard loading.
Tried then to install ADB using post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155664
hoping i could use the USB cable to put the backup files back in place but when i plug the device into the windows host, it recognises an unavailable USB MTP device, whose properties say "Acer iconia tab a500" in the "signaled bus description"(translated from french display, may be something else in english)
I manually force added the Acer ADB interface, but both the devices are unavailable to windows, with a warning sign, stating "this device cannot start (code 10)"
"Adb shell" answers "Error:device not found",which is expected, as windows can't see the devices properly
the strange thing is that, with USB plugged from A500 to PC, the Android with exclaimation stays forever, while without the cable, the system boot-loops
so i'm at this point :
i have a boot looping device, and the backup of the modified files on an USB key, and no way to put them back on device.
I found on the forums a lot of different .imgs that could be put on the /system to reload the device but none with EMEA-CUS3. So if i overwrite the files, i can't go back
I read you need a SD card to patch the device but not all of them work...
And my only computer with a SD slot uses a big one, not micro one, so i also need an adapter to write on the sd card.
Is someone near me (belgium/postcode 4000) having a SD ward working with the device who could lend it or help me doing the job ?
else
i saw in a nearby store ad "Sigma SDHC 4Go" or "Sigma SDHC 8Go", with apparently an adaptor for a normal sized SD slot, can anyone confirm it works or it don't work for sure ?
else
Can anyone tell me an SD card know to work, and being sold currently with an adapter so i have a chance to find one in a store near me ?
Is there a way to create an update.zip that will only update the files i did overwrite ?
if not, has someone an image for the same system i have ?
Well... lots of questions, but i'm very worried, especially as the device is not mine and not working anymore atm.
-> update
Looking closer at the modem (Vodafone k3565) it has a trap that says "SD card" so i guess i won't need an adapter... still need the reference of a SD card known to work for the restoring.

[bump] and more :
this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834144
lists working SD cards, but don't tell with which device. i'd take the guess it applies to the iconia A500 and take the list to the shop to see if anyone is available...

Did you install the Acer USB driver, found here? http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/drivers
You might need to go into device manager after installing and right click/update drivers on the tablet, then manually direct it to the Acer driver folder. That's what I did, then ADB worked.

The reason "some" SD cards don't work is down purely to formatting. Normally, reformatting them in an Android phone sorts it out. Not always, but normally. Don't worry about the GEN3 stuff too much, it's just regional variations anyway... More important to get the tab working again, no?

Yes i did ( on 2 different computers, just to be sure )...
and still the device is not recognised as "adb device".
Windows shows a "USB MTP Device"
Tried to manually add the "ACER Composite ADB Interface" and "ACER Fastboot Interface" to the installed peripherals, it shows with yellow exclaimation mark, never shows up running.

Without any useable answer about one week later, i did buy a Traxdata 2Gb SD card with adapter ( the cheapest i found with an adapter from micro SD to normal SD ) and flashed with the Emea_Gen3 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878.
Now the tablet works, but is telling me 4.010.42-COM-GEN1 instead of the previous 4.015.05-Emea-Cus3.
Seems to work correctly, so i go on with the modem connexion.

My U8800 appears as a READ-ONLY CD-ROM drive when it's connected through USB. "The USB Storage Is In Use Screen" is on.But i can't write anything my sdcard or internel card.
Under device manager, it shows up as Android Adapter USB Device
I tried : MIUI , Oxygen , CM7 but same reason
And I use CWM 4
What can i do about this ?
If someone tells me how to solve this problem, I will donate him $10

Hi there. This is my first reply to a problem. I think i have it figured out.
Check this:
Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development:
On this screen make sure USB debugging is unchecked.
When you plug the phone into your computer, then a dialog should pop up on your phone asking you to enable USB storage mode. Tap "Turn on USB storage".
It may ask you to confirm. Tap "OK".
Good luck. I hope that helps you.

It's very much difficult than that. Well the only way to restore your usb problem is going back to stock and after that you only can install a 2.2 custom rom, after you switch to 2.3 your problem will appear again! If you go to "device manager" on windows when U use 2.2, U see that the phone is corrected installed, but when u connect with 2.3 rom, the device it's not corrected installed and therefore only mounted as CD-ROM... I know that, 'cause I have the same problem and tried all this options. I installed usb drivers that huaei give us on their site, but the problem persists. I tried with both CWM recoveries and both work good on 2.2, stock or custom, but not on 2.3....
Last but not least, go check your imei on system, almost sure U got a 0 on that too, as me. So this is some problem with 2.3 roms that "f*cked up" our phone. Altough usb problem is reversible when installed stock rom, the problem with the imei persists after a stock rom install...
Hope it help some people somehow!
(sorry for bad bad english)

Try uninstalling device drivers, then reinsert the phone and let it install.
What do you see on the CD rom? The sdcard contents?

Hello if you are with cm7, go to definitions - about phone and project menu. Testes other options for usb.

Help! internal SD gone on my ideos7

can't seem to find any postings regarding the exact process on how to get my 8g internal SD back on my system that is why i ended up posting this. whenever i check it on the ideos, it is now disabled and it says unavailable. i also can't connect to my PC now via usb maybe because i don't have the internal SD. it happened when i try to partition my SD with Easyus Program in the hope that i may be able to install other programs into a more bigger space but then everything failed. I was already able to split it into 2 but i have slept over it and the next morning when i continued, i forgot where i have left last. i have tried to redo the whole thing all over again and started deleting the newly created partition and that was it. out of frustration and another hope that it might factory reset my unit in its original state and bring back my "unavailable SD". since then i can't get it back.
i have tried to browse all over here and also in other sites but there were no exact way how i will be able to get it available for use again. there are some that says i have to install the early android eclair version but there is just no place i can download that piece of os, not even on the huawei site. there are suggestions to use busybox and adb which i must admit that i have completely no knowledge of but willing to try if there will be guide to follow. the only problem on this way is my ideos7 can't communicate with my PC thru USB because of that missing internal SD card.
i hope somebody with a kind heart and knowledge can help me with this thing. i will surely appreciate it so much. this ideos is so dear to me and i just can't help to think the i ended up deleting its internal SD out of my stupidity.
thanks! you all have a nice day and continue enjoying your weekend.

details of my ideos7
it's a European Version, I guess this is the s7-104 with front camera only. It's running with the installed
Android Version: 2.2.2
Baseband: 504030
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-Ideos
Build Number: S7V100R001C98B021
I lost the rooting on the process and since then i can no longer have the way to root it back again because of the usb connection issue.
thanks again and hoping to get a big help from somebody out there.

UP
still hoping for anybody.

still hoping
for anybody who can help

Your problem, I think, has easy answer. You must to make a downgrade to android 2.1. In the huawei page you find the rom. in my case the problem is worse, my internal sd does not appear even as unavailable and i dont know to do.
regards

dead link
that's what i initially thought but all the links leading to this downgrade rom which is the 2.1 eclair, is already dead. i was lucky to find another but i see the fbi logo since it was the megaupload link. i have been looking for it even in the huawei site. everything is out already. i hope somebody out there has the Android 2.1 eclair that i can try. this i read from somewhere may be able to restore back my unavailable internal sd card.
thanks for reading and still hoping to get a copy or link for the android 2.1 eclair.

disregard all
i have found it already and it is back again. thanks a lot!

Same problem
I have the same problem as you. Can you send a link to the 2.1 eclair? I have searched for days...

1, the phone has root, and install better terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal simulation
2, in HyperTerminal, enter( su ）
3, and so become the # sign, type ( dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 ). Other end of the run,maybe wait 5 minutes. Restart the phone.
4, into the "Settings" - "sdcard and storage", u can be formatted with the built-in sdcard

locked bootloader + blue screen (+some useful info?)

Anyone knows why i cant access the mass storage device where the image is stored... my bootloader got messed up so i get the blue screen and recovery is a no go. i can get into the purple screen mode, 2 HUAWEI technologies devices are detected and no drivers ofc.
I tried with various usb drivers provided here but none was a match.
and ofc adb isnt working (device not found).
Getting my phone back up and running is stuck behind it.
And yes i have been looking through the forums.... for the last 5 hours... getting desperate.
Gonna install ubuntu and try my luck.. tho i already have bad feelings that all i see is .... no drives.
How damn hard can it be to access a storage device over usb :/
getting access to it is just about the only option i have to unbrick the phone i guess?
Ideos X5 u8800
EDIT:
Edited title to match the real current situation.
So ppl dont have to scroll through it all:
QPST Does work with huawei ascend drivers (it has the modem and the com driver)
http://www.mediafire.com/?4528hetcl916d2o
Used for u8800.
It found and connected to the phone when it was on the blue screen (the purple bootloader screen wasnt working ofc).
For backup, restore etc u still need the SPC (000000 if ur imei is null).
Also phone has to be switched into the debug/manufacture mode - which i cant do ofc.
So as for the SPC: CDMA Workshop should do it (assuming phone is in maint/debug mode also - i just got invalid/out of range value errors) - it has the option to look up a SPC, may need some work tho.
So anyone whos more experienced with it .... use it lol. Tho unfortunately for me.. ill be most likely spending my last 3 months of mandatory military service ... without phone (and therefor no internet or gaming etc - pure hell).

would placing the update.app (gingerbread update rom) on a external sd (in the dload folder + if i find a spare sd card -_-),,, like it used to do for the normal upgrade - would it start the flash automatically once i get into the purple screen...
EDIT ah crap -_- reply... no delete button nether.
looks like its a god damn locked bootloader then.... damn u huawei... last time i use anything from them.
Military service starting again in 2 days and i dont have a damn phone to use -_-

What do you want to do with that?

Yes put dload on external sd card with 512 mb free and flash again
Should solve your prob hopefully

so it can read external also, not just the internal SD?

Its your choice either put on external or internal works the same
But if your phone is bricked then external is only option I think

im cursed.... i dont have any microsd cards around here and wont be able to get any fast enough... military service starts again in 1 day (vacation will be over)... and i cont have access to pc. Crap.
So it would be enough iv i place the dload with update.app on external and simply use the vol+ and - and power to switch to the purple screen (download mode ?) and it should just find it as if it were on the internal SD?

Tell me this first hav u placed dload on internal sd card or external?
If internal then first remove external
And then proceed with the update
It should work .

cant access internal... and unfortunately i dont have a external card right now, i can get one but its by the time i cant use any pc-s so... not much of a use.
The internal SD tho should still have aurora ICS 1.9 zip... tho without recovery its useless.
Well idk if its absolutely any use but... i did manage to get my phone detected in the QPST configurator..... first progress with anything iv had in past 15h
CDMA workshop connected also - damn demo !!! cant try and see how well it "steals/hacks" the SPC
+++ opst still requires diag mode

ofc lol... but once im off back to military service.. then i dont.

So could anyone at least confirm if it actually upgrades/installs from External SD card? so i can try and buy one and see if i can find some time etc at military to get it installed. Else id send it out for warranty repair asap.

Mate confirmed

Well at least i know ****load more about unbricking and android rom/flashing etc side now since iv read and researched every possible way.
