Ideos X5 WIKI -Please Help to Update- - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hi all
There is a wiki page set up for the Ideos X5 devices. It may well be helpful in splitting the useful info that you good users have added to this forum. Please feel free to edit it appropriately, but please remember this is most helpful to newbies so be as clear and conciseness with the information you add. It could become a great resource if everybody gets behind it. Feel free to use this thread to bounce ideas around for it.
Huawei U8800 IDEOS X5 WIKI Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Huawei_U8800_IDEOS_X5
Thanks to PaulMilbank for bringing this to my attention.
Take it easy
O_G

Updated a bunch of stuff on the Wiki, now has a lot more order and info. I have only got a couple of days experience with this forum though so others with more experience can now improve on my page editing. It now has a separate section for u8800 and u8800 pro roms so hopefully that helps.
It needs to be updated in the recovery section as I have just listed all the recoveries I can find, but some are really old and I don't know which recoveries are for what version. EG: 5.0.2.7 from genokolar seems to be for the 2.3.5 update, but does it work with 2.2.2 and below roms?
Paul

well done
i think that the most important thing now should be to understand why huawei's links to download stock roms are all offline....for example i need the stock vodafone branded firmware for my u8800pro but the link is broken

Would be great to have those, but they dont seem to keep older links.
Maybe we should start another thread pulling together all the known to be good rapidshare, multiupload etc mirrors of those files and get people to contribute their links.

here is the new Ofiical 2.3 - 31.12.2011 - Normal ,but i cant edit the wiki page,can someone add it?

Wiki not works for me.

If someone has gathered all ROMs from Huawei, he/she can send it to me and I will host them on my PC, apache server with 20Mbps uplink. I can give FTP access and www directory.

Can someone confirm or deny this rom?

I tried to use the link by removing the stars and it doesn't get anywhere so not sure what V100R001C00B540G001 is compared to the V100R001C00B522G001 release which is supposed to be the final.
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDM2NDk= this is the link Huawei gave on facebook as the final release.

The link of B540 is for U8800+. Here it is: http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/down...DownloadFile&flay=softw are&softid=NDEwNTY=华为

w0w great.

i have some, not all, i can search for you

there are not any info about u8800-51

why all link from huawei are offline?

I think they just don't store them for long. Manufacturers probably dont want people messing with their phones and breaking them then just restoring an image before returning it under warranty.

I had no problems with the update or on the download. Great improvement on this rom.
Always good to give a new life to our phone

I've updated the U8800 ROMs.

thanks. a build that works would be nice and that feels like the desire sense maybe or a link to the one from mdj?
thanks
MDJ's builds aren't allowed anymore due to him not agreeing to the GPL code or something (Not releasing his code).

Somehow the Mac version of fastboot and platform-tools's fastboot in Windows did not worked. It worked with a Windows version of fastboot for Ideos though.. I hate rebooting to Windows for fastboots
There's linux and mac versions of fastboot and adb, I guess I can include them too in fastboot+adb.zip.
Though it's starting to get fat, it's gonna be +30mb with 3 versions of fastboot + adb + venue/s5/s7 drivers
dell steak or viewsonic gtablet?
i dont want phone, i want good android tablet
Many thanks for publishing this guide, a great help for noobs like me who are just getting to grips with their streaks will be trying out a few of the roms on here though sorry to see that fards is taking a break on the gingerstreak project - it looks pretty good so far! Will try the streakin and simple roms probably and hope that I don't get too messed up as my skill level is quite low...be seeing you all in the forums!
Streakmod Source?
It seems Streakmod is key to several basic ops, but I have not been able to find a download link so far. Any clues?

Custom Rom and Recovery List 8th link in OP
TheManii just oozes data... just kidding.. thanks for all your hard work.
dell devices at xda would not be the same without you
Unfortunately documentation is not as glamourous as making custom roms.
My plan is to document the venue, Streak 7, and Streak 10 to the same degree, but without the former two I cant actually test my guides. I must rely on unreliable user comments to fix them.
I would likely attempt to create a custom rom for the venue as it has none at all, but it's virtually impossible to dev for a device you dont own.
I would like to work with the new 'millenium' device as all the recent dell branded devices share a lot more then just their names. But I dont expect to ever recieve one.

Thanks, that does get me on the "right page" at least.
However, I am a bit confused since the "8th link" (of more than 30 linked zip files - quit counting after that), is listed as DJ-Steve's Streakdroid 1.2.0, and way down at the bottom of that page (30+ links) are 10 Streakmod versions with the last 2 having active links. Of those 2 the last one has "beta" in the zip file name, and the other one has "DoctorWfix" in the file name, so neither one sounds particularly obvious as the one to pick for basing everything else on.
Should I get the beta, 0.3.2.8? How would I install it? Make it a "update.zip" file on my SD card, and use the boot menu item for installing such files?
BTW, I have the "347" build ROM it seems - should I update that with the latest, 360 build?
TIA,
R
The 8th link refers to the post and not what's on the rom page.
Techinically all versions of streakmod are 'beta.' Dont let the name fool you though, there are no currently known issues with streak mod to date. It's more or less stable for everyday use.
If you are on 347 you are recommended to update to 360, you only need to download the 360 pkg and put it on the sdcard, then follow the directions on the wiki to do a stock update. You can skip the part of installing the matching recovery if you have not yet changed your recovery
TheManii, i'm not flattering, but thought that pressing "thanks" is not enough.
You guides are great, like 42 for Streakers You can't do much having a house without any documentation.
And looking at ROM deveolpment, do you really want to be one of the "ThereIFixedIt" guys?
I think you haven't made a ROM just because you'll think it's not good enough to release.
Sorry for offtopic/bad english.
I do make custom roms, every release of Streakdroid I end up customizing to the point that it may very well be considered a different rom.
I simply dont release my roms, they're all 'private' I guess. If you're on #dellstreak you'll see me mention that my roms are heavily customized versions of streakdroid with every known fix applied. I work rather closely with fards and dj_steve on various things, but it's all pretty much behind the scenes stuff and documentation.
Pretty much all streak roms can be broadly grouped under: "based on stock rom" or "based on streakdroid".
Unless you're actually compiling the kernel and apps themselves, making a custom rom by adding/removing files is relatively easy. I'd rather make a guide on how to customize your rom for yourself, with the sum of all the guide I created that's pretty much everything you need to do that actually, all it's missing is a page to link them up into a logical flow pattern.
Now that I think about it I might just go and make a guide on how to make a custom rom.

[Q] State of play for X5 roms:

Hi, just after some advice about huawei roms for the X5. The x5 section on XDA is a bit all over the place with information scattered everywhere unlike the u8150 which has no section of it's own, but has a great wiki.
Seems that development is pretty solid for GB roms for this phone as there are multiple roms which are very close to being perfect and also GB is being released for this phone on the 30th in theory ;-).
Main 2.3 roms seem to be MIUI, CM7 and Oxygen and a long awaited for Huawei approved one.
Main 2.2 roms seem to be B160, FLB and Void
MIUI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354680 -.32 kernel and 2 devs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367448 - Genokolar dev, .35 kernel
Great if you like the android/ios mashup.
Can anyone tell me if there are any problems experienced with the 18/12/2011 .32 kernel release?
Has anyone tried Geno's .35 release? Seems more like a testing release from Geno.
CM7 - Only has one DEV that I can see, Genokolar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068766 - .32 kernel and 11.11.28 final release
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311565 - .35 kernel and 11.11.22 release
Not quite sure what the deal is here, .32 kernel seems stable with most everything working except usb tether. .35 kernel seems a bit all over the place and I am not sure what the deal is. Anyone able to shed some light here? Also seems Geno is dropping support so hopefully other devs step up.
Oxygen: Seems active but has some of the biggest bugs that I can see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149150
http://forum.oxygen.im/
Seems to be really active but has no ability to mount internal SD card, no tethering, video seems a bit suspect. Are these problems still happening?
2.2 roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059753 - B160 customised rom 2.2.2.
http://android.modaco.com/topic/342...rom-for-the-huawei-u8800-with-online-kitchen/ - Not sure what the deal is with online kitchen, but it is 2.2.2 and seems to have a problem with headphone audio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147103 - Void: eridanus, seems all working and uses franco kernel.
Guides, Modaco page seems a little outdated, but still useful:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/341011-ultimate-guide-to-the-huawei-u8800/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Huawei_U8800_IDEOS_X5 X5 wiki which could do with some updating.
Recoveries:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343276 - 5.0.27 recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130524&highlight=void 4.0.05 recovery by genokolar
Which one is the recovery to use?
I know it is a personal choice, but which rom is a good start? Seems CM7 is the way to go if I don't want miui interface and need ability to wifi tether and use both sd cards in the phone.
Thanks for any input
Paul
Also, we have a wiki page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Huawei_U8800_IDEOS_X5
You dont need to be a dev to edit a wiki, anyone can do it, how about if we edit it to keep as a central repository for info and sticky it at the top of the general section.
I have been helping curate the u8150 one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Huawei_U8150_IDEOS#Unofficial_ROMs_.26_Recovery
and it is very easy to do as well as making all info easy to find.
If you have some info to contribute, why not help make the wiki complete?
Thanks

NEW ICS 4.0.4 Port for I9000

Hello,
there is a new Custom Rom, based on Android 4.0.4 for you.
You will find it on:
android-hilfe.de/custom-roms-fuer-samsung-galaxy-s/202635-rom-ics-4-0-4-i9000-ics-blues-v0-4-a.html
The Name ist ICS-BLUES-V0-4.
If you want to test it, do it.
Sorry about my bad english.
Greets from Germany,
Andreas
Russian is present?
It is synchronized with MyPhoneExplorer?
One Question:
HOW ON EARTH, that can be 4.0.4 when even Google did not release 4.0.4 as source or on SDK?
Clearly a fake...
Sorry, its not a fake,
It´s a port of the 4.0.4 Rom from the Nexus. It was ported to the I9000.
Curently the Version is pulled back, because there was a bug in the widget drawer.
Have some look, it will be pulled out again in a short time.
"EDIT: It´s now back for Download".
link broken

Nice joke
what 4.0.4 is out ?
Search for v1 not 0.4
v1.0 also doesn´t show page, only vBulletin.
wrong post
Ok, here are the last news about this Rom.
Short time the Rom was up for downloading.
Then many Users in the German Forum means, there was a rom, that was custom
from parts of 3 different Rom´s ,ICSSGS, CNA , Kang & finaly New Parts of the 4.0.4 Nexus Rom.
The Problem here was, that the customer has no named the person´s on the other Roms.
I think, he has it vorgotten. Other Users mean, that is a no go.
And so the discussion goes on.
So the admins of the forum stop that, and removed the Thread.
So now, this Theme is closed. How long, i dont know...
But i have a copy of the V1.0 Rom and for me, it runs very good.
So if you want , you can have this rom for testing.
Give me a link for upload and i will do my best..
Sorry for my english, i hope you know what i mean.
Thanx,
Andi
Yes the ICS-Blues V1.0 (4.0.4) is very good!
I have this Rom 26h of my i9000 with no problems!!!
Nice work!!!
i want this rom for testing. can you put a link? or PM me? thanks.
I would love to try it out too
Someone should upload it to dropbox or .box
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Ok, i upload now the rom in a dropbox.
If the upload is finish, i take the link here, but i can´t make a aktive link, because i need more helpful posts, bevor i can do that here.
But beware:
This Rom works absolutly stable, but i am not the producer of this rom.
Actually the producer of this rom has no given an answer if he want to support this
rom again.
We all want to look, what he said.
You can find it in the german Forum as User Bavaria_blues.
So if you like this rom, please give him a PM and say thanks, maybe its funny for him and he wants come back to make a v1.1 for us.
And last, but not least,flash at your own risk.
How to flash.
Reboot into Recovery Mod.
Make a full wipe.
Install Rom as Zip.
If you come from another ICS, thats it.
If you come from Stockrom 2.3.x than you can have a bootloop.
So pull out the battery, put it back and flash again, then it works.
Here is the Link: Dropbox is down , to much traffic
Greets,
Andi
Thnx for this rom
thanks for it. downloading now
Could any1 post some screenshots,
pls?
thank you.

[Request] Toshiba Portege G910 / Original Firmware !

Hello Xda Users.
I am releasing a Windows Mobile ROM.
The device I've worked on is the Toshiba Portege G910
(probably many of you will remember my numerous questions in this forum. )
and..... Finally, after "years of study" I'm doing it.
The ROM si ready on my PC, but I still need an original (stock) ROM for this device, otherwise the new Rom won't work properly and I couldn't add very important apps to it (as for example the camera...)
A long time ago I found Stock Roms on the Toshiba website.
But now the link is not avaible anymore.
Please, can anyone upload for me (on any website) an original/stock ROM for this device?
P.S.
I also remeber that, a lot of stock ROMs for the G910, were stored in the forum section of "www.4pda.ru" but this website is in russian language and it's totaly understandable for me, even if I try to translate it.
Please, can any russian man simply search the stock ROM for me?
If you help me I will include you and your profile/website in the credits of this project
(Soon the Rom will be avaible here and on my website)
It seems to me that the official firmware isn't in the "4pda" forum, I found 2 links in another website (it's always russian...)
But the file has been removed by the File-Hosting service,
so...
my last hope is that some "ex-Toshiba-G910" owner stored it in his old Hard-Drive or PC... (please help)
For Toshiba :
I understand that so many years have passed, this phone is totally discontinued and of course you don't offer new support... But, why on earth do you eliminate even the old support already provided ?!?!
Update:
After spending hours for search it, Finally I found a working link to download this Stock Rom (required to make an updated one)
http://www.vitorrentz.cc/torrent/5705e027e0023749a584323e5061bca63bcb5fcb
I started the download but the speed is about 0.0 kbs/sec...
Why? Users, Could you just try if it works?
Maybe the download will work outside my country ...
How about this?
Removed - It was malicious, sorry

Hello Redorded! I have just seen the message!
I really Thank you for the !
Does your link was a Torrent or a File/sharing Download?
Anyway it's very hard to find this Stock rom but not impossible.
In fact I found 2 guys that have it but I can't see their e-mails because I can not use a site in russian!
Maybe... Do you speak russian??
Do Anyone have an account on "4pda" or on "unlockers.ru" ??
