[Q] Bricked Phone - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

I bricked the phone.Anyway, how i did?
1) I flashed B526
2) i edited cust.img but even they are same size, i couldn't copy new to /.cust_backup folder.So i deleted the original one.
3) i thought, i should give a try to Aurora 4.03 from dzo
4) I got into recovery, wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache etc.
5) I couldn't install it, anyway then i thought i have to flash B526 again
6) But it stopped around %50 and it said "update failed" but i started the phone, 2 times.
7) With root explorer, i got into /.cust_backup folder but there was only amss.mbn, cust.img with higer size, emmcboot.mbn and boot.img but there wasn't any sign of recovery.img
8) I tried to copy 5.5.0.4 recovery file but there wasn't enough space for it so i deleted cust.img again but after i deleted it, "there isn't enough space" said root explorer nothing changed
9) i deleted amss.mbn, managed to copy recovery.img
10) Restarted phone but then i realized i can't get into recovery mode or start phone normally.
11) Because Huawei blocked bootloader mode, now i have a bricked phone.I tried 5 or 6 times flashing stock rom but update failed again and again
12) Packed up the phone, will send technical support tonight.
- I tried flashing without battery
- I tried mounting with ubuntu
Nothing changed
Any ideas?

Already sent.Thanks, who helped me and who wanna help but couldn't do it

Hi
Space is not enough to flash any ROMs;
Bootloader is locked,you could not edit that sector.
So is there a special ROM that is very small and allows to edit the bootloader?
Here is the MINI ROM: (thread is from anzhi,only copy the download url.)
115,com/file/clyzgmw1
(replace " , " by ". ")
Click the "电信下载“ right besides the red link"VIP ...."
Flash it than edit the bootloader~
NOTICE: I format the whole sector ,and the file including IMEI was missing
'Cause I don't know how to edit recovery or other system files like .mbn,
so just delete the abnormal big file and you would be able to flash any ROM s

Hi, Thank you for this, gonna try it now
Hope it works.
*EDIT: I'm having a problem downloading this file. It is extremely slow to download and once downloaded it is corrupt. I've tried 3 times now. Any chance anyone who has downloaded could upload it to a European or US host?
Thanks in advance.

1). Well Friends will try to analyze here the procedure followed to make "root" the mobile without the Chinese "Root Explorer" and with all the rest to function properly after the procedure the "Root".
2). Now you must download the "boot image" from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HA9FSEKL and then
let's desktop Pc.
3). Basic: Before you start anything you have to BE CAREFUL, if you have not already deleted the file "dload" from the sd card!
5). It would ultimately be taken out and the sd (as I did) Did the end of the process when boot read anything and
the Chinese"root explorer" fly again ... so for sure.
================================================== ========== =============================
Follow the letter the instructions below:
1. Boot the phone into the pink screen mode (volup + voldown + power) and connect it to the PC via usb cable.
2. Your PC will find a new device. Open it, and then open folder called "image" in it.
3. Copy stock boot.img to your PC, you'll need it later.
4. Now copy my boot.img from PC to the device, replacing stock boot.img
5. Use your operating system tools to safely remove the device, then pull out the battery to get out from pink screen mode. Boot the phone.
6. While booting, the phone gets rooted. When it boots up, you can turn it off and get to the pink screen again.
7. Restore stock boot.img you saved earlier.
8. Boot the phone again - it is rooted and working properly now
================================================== ========== ===============================
Before reinsert the sd it would with a cardreader to put in Pc and delete folders: android_secure,, Android.
And so the bags otherwise they'll rebuild automatically once you put the sd.
If you do everything correctly you will have 2.3.5 rooted, without Chinese"root explorer" and the witget weather-clock its ok.
Please also stated that I have not started again after the root "Root Explorer" from the Market ONLY use another program.(optional)
================================================== ================================== ==========

the fixed "boot.img" download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HA9FSEKL
It doesn't install root explorer, and it doesnt delete cust.img, but still should give you root access. To have the clock widget just put cust.img I've uploaded earlier into image folder from pink screen mode
Hey guys! I won't fix my boot.img.
It will work that way
you put my boot.img into image folder via pink screen,
boot phone once,
then boot into pink screen again,
restore stock boot.img and that's all
the phone is rooted and no overhead at start because of those modified boot.img's.

(only difference from stock is I've unsecured it)
I assume that the Overseas version shouldn't delay so much.
What do you think?

so we can just install chinese and then somehow navigate to settings menu and choose english?
can we have a screenshot please?
Anyway I believe that it is not serious that huawei doesn´t release the chinese and overseas versions at the same time.
Well this is interesting.. the system image has the wifi driver for the regular U8800 in it.
system dump for those that want it: http://www.multiupload.com/1AG300FSXD
DEV ONLY. It's not in CWR flashable format.

Also the kernel boots with your MIUI port. A few issues like rather broken screen rotation but that'll be a simple fix.
Roll on the release of the source.
I was gonna say that the kconfig looked like it had support for the regular u8800.
How did you split the kernel from the update btw?
double post..

I'm really stupid and i need help please

at last step, that you will return to WM and nothing happened,
that should be wrong shipped ROM that you install,
please check your IMEI number at HTC website
and download the right shipped ROM again.
Reinstall recovery if it doesn't work..
Then enter recovery, go to "Mounts and Storage Menu" and mount usb...
Copy the .zip file and install it

it could be long (10-30 mins), depends of your sd card.
Maybe your sd card isn't very good and not compatible with android.
Try to format your sdcard or try another sdcard
Thank you mystikal for everything i switched the sd card, copied the rom and it worked perfectly :beer:

Please can you help a noob - ROM seems extremely small
Hi I have been hunting for a tool to do a "complete" backup of my S3 so I can restore it in one go after playing with other ROMS and get back to Stock easily. So seeing this looked fantastic. I have run steps 1 , 4 and 10 .
The ROM i get is only 27,161 KB , and as the stock rom I flashed was over 1 gb I wonder if I have done something wrong and I am afraid to try flashing this with Odin . Especially when I did a NANDROID Backup from S3 Toolkit and this is 1.6gb .
Any advice would be well received .

When flashing my smartphone I get an error (S_DA_EMMC_FLASH_NOT_FOUND)
Can I copy the scatter.txt from RC5 to whichever ROM i want as long as it is for the same phone? Basically I have the RC5 but I experienced that the battery is horrible so I wanted to try a different newer OS. Somehow there is an error installing via TWRP the other roms I have in zip but flashtool works fine. These files do not have a scatter-file though.
Thank`s for the instructions
I will thank for the instruction, because I breaked my phone while trying to flash madOS 8.1.0 (update from april). Before my Jiayu S3 basic (16 GB, 2 GB) worked fine with madOS 8.1 from 2017-12-30. I surely made a big mistake, therefore the phone was dead - no reaction any more.
I found this solution to flash back the stock rom 5.1.1 with twrp. Phone is alive and works.
I think, I have done a big mistake, because all trials to flash madOS 8.1 from april ended with boot into TWRP. I tried flashing to madOS for a long time, isn`t possible any more. Maybe also my old phone has a failure.
Therefore I have to thank for Your excellent work. Thanks.
Hi!
I'm trying to flash my S3Adv. (3GB RAM, Kitkat, TWRP 2.8.4.0) with madOS_8.1.0_s3_h560_20180422.zip, but, the "Zip signature verification failed". Before, the MD5 sum is checked and matches. I also checked the file with "zip -T" on my Linux machine and it reports "OK". When the "Zip file signature verification" is turned off, TWRP reports "error executing updater binary in zip ..." What's going wrong? Anybody here who can help?
Thanks in advance
Frank
Nearby: I wiped system, dalvik, cache and data.
Solution:
- Install Flash Tool
- Flash Android 5.1.1 (RC5_S3_16GB.zip)
- Start 5.1.1 to do a basic configuration
- Boot into TWRP recovery which was included in RC5
- Install twrp_20180417.img
- Boot into TWRP recovery
- Install madOS_8.1.0_s3_h560_20180422.zip
(a full wipe is, may be, necessary, but, I don't know, when the full wipe should be done within my procedure - I did it earlier)

[HELP] Cannot move or create anything on Internal Storage

Hello! Here is everything i did to get to this point:
• Unlocked the bootloader
• Installed TWRP
• Took nandroid backup
• Wiped everything (excluding USB-OTG)
• Tried to move files to the phone, and it created a no-name file with the windows drive icon
• Tried to delete the file, couldn't.
• Disconnected from PC, tried to wipe Internal Storage again, said " Error opening: '/data/media' (No such file or directory) "
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And it still continues to say "Error opening: '/data/media' (No such file or directory)" every time i try to wipe the Internal Storage, doesn't matter if MTP enabled/disabled or if connected to PC or not.
So now i cannot move any files or folders to the phone, when i try, it does nothing.
When i try to create a directory on the phone, just says this (see image below) or hangs Windows Explorer.
I did all of this following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
TWRP IMG used: Bluspark TWRP
I did NOT flash supersu or magisk, because i was going to install ResurrectionRemix ROM on the phone after all this. Also i did not reboot to OOS after installing TWRP, just wiped everything and i cannot move anything to the memory now.
[EDIT] When i go to Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Select Internal Storage>Click Repair or Change File System it says "Invalid partition selection"
What should i do? I hope i didn't somehow brick my brand new phone :crying:
did you try flash TWRP recovery "again" via fastboot? so restart phone in fastboot mode> flash recovery via ADB (or just copy TWRP recovery.img to your excisting TWRP and flash again as "recovery">reboot) You should than have a clean recovery. Than wipe everything also (incl. format data.) Than reboot in recovery and copy ROM file, Gapps, Magisk etc..etc.. from pc and start from a clean "scratch"
Edit: i had this kind of issue also while flashing unofficial Oreo LOS build. I ****ed it up also. Keep in mind as long as your PC reconize your device you are totally NOT bricked. So don't worry!!!
I solved it myself somehow...
Sorry about this whole post, i just somehow got this working when i tried to sideload an img file (ik, i'm a genious) it said "corrupted zip file" and now i can see everything again on the Internal Storage... wow.. How do i close a thread now?
Glad it worked out!
I think only a Forum Moderator can close threads.
Oh, ok. Do i need to contact one or do something so they can remove/close the thread? Thanks for the fast response anyways!

Mwah, no need. Mostly they keep the threads "open" so that other users with "similar" issues can learn or reply in your thread for help.
Ok. This just made no sense to me. Ty
