I rooted my sister's phone, then installed launcher pro, and it bricked! (UGH!!!)
So I came here looking for rescue and did the Odin system restore steps. Like another poster there mentioned, it appeared to work, and everything seemed fine other than one critical component: it wouldn't sync at all with her google account!!! I've tried installing the clockworkmod, too, because that same poster said he got it to work by doing the clockworkmod reset. I can't get it to reboot into the clockworkmod recovery console, just the android one. How do I get to the clockworkmod console???
Remember that I have no market access until the google account syncs properly.
I did all the steps I could, but I still can't get the phone to sync with my sister's Google account. It locked up and perma-black screened after rooting and installing launcher pro, so I tried to use the backup from Odin to save it. Saved the phone. Seems to work. The verizon backup option successfully restores her contact info.
I can't get it to sync with her google account, and I am LOSING MY MIND because I have to leave early tomorrow morning, and I don't want to leave my sis. with a broken phone.
And where in the heck do you get the oft-mentioned "update.zip" file from???
HELP!!

Go into Privacy - Settings - and do the system reset / factory restore. That should allow you to re-synch with google.

Ok. Giving it a try right now.
What guide did you follow for Clockwork? I've seen a number of people with the missing update.zip file, and I cannot figure out how that is happening.
It's like 1 out of every 5 people have this problem, and I don't get it.
HOLY CRAP BATMAN.
You're a LIFESAVER. It worked. Hallelujah!!!!!
Thank you sooooo much!!!
No problemo.. Sat there for about 2 hours myself before I figured that one out.

Did it carefully, step by step, as far as I can tell. Now I'm having trouble rooting the phone again after that factory reset. It pushes the files, resets the phone, then starts the rooting process ... then it says device disconnected, even though I see no signs that it is, and it still says on the screen that it is connected. I think I will try the long, manual rooting option next.
Ok, I successfully got it to root, but only by the slower manual method. I could never get the one click method to work again, even after multiple tries. It got all the way through most of the process but failed to install superuser.apk. Once that part was done, it's been working great so far. I hope. So far so good ....
Unfortunately I think you learned that the hard way..
Take your time, don't take shortcuts, don't make assumptions.
Most of the time the one-click solutions end up causing more problems than their worth.
I bet if you had to do that "long" process again, you could do it in ~5 minutes now.
Glad you got it all working.

I used the 1 click toot method and thought I may return my fascinate. I decided against it and tried to root again with no luck. The root always has a bunch of FC's and eventually gets stuck. The generic ringer also starts with no way to stop it. Only a battery pull will restart the phone afterward. I have also already really installed the Samsung drivers for the phone. Anybody have any thoughts?
Did you go back to stock via odin...if not do so...and push root manually...instead of an app.
I did through Odin. Tried to push root manually last night. The phone froze right after the push and never recovered. Had to battery pull. I had all of the files pushed and got to the chmod and wait stage when it froze.
Hmm, maybe re push to stock in odin...make sure you are doing the correct files...though it sounds like you did...a second time around sometimes seems to hit the spot...droid used to give me the same issues with sbf.
Do a factory data reset after you redo the odin recovery. Make sure you are using the verizon file when pushing each flash and doing it in the proper order. Then manually root, dont use one click or an app.
Also remember to push the files one at a time and let the phone restart between each one booting back into download mode.

I've been working all weekend so I havent had too much time to deal with it. I wiped data and cache in the recovery menu initially and then the phone wouldn't allow me to sign back into my Google account. It kept telling me that I didn't have a data connection on 3g OR wifi. I finally did a factory reset through the privacy menu (not in recovery) and all seems to finally be working and completely stock. Now off to root and flash voodoo...
hey i had the same problem i made a post on how to fix it though.. go to the 0.00 internal storage issue mine was doing what u said plus more but i fixed it just follow the steps i set
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804457
Got it. Just for the record: Rooted, Flashed all three files with Odin to get "back to stock". Re-OTA'd. Somehow Busybox and Su were still there so I manually removed. Then changed my mind about returning the phone and attempted to root again with no luck. Re-flashed through Odin ok, then attempted root but errors prevented finish. Cleared data and wiped cache through recovery. Then my google account wouldn't resync b/c of network connection error, even though I had a working data connection the entire time. Tried booting into recovery and clear and wipe data again. No luck. Finally decided to use factory data reset from within settings. Now all clear, rooted again, re-synced my google account and all good. You guys rock. Thanks for the help.
I just used ODIN to flash to stock ROM and modem in attempt to solve my problem with adding gmail account to my phone. It worked. I added my gmail account no problem and I was finally able to visit Android market. However, I have new problem now.
When I go to Market and download applications, I see bubble with "Your item will be downloaded" after I click on install button and then nothing happens. Application is not installed. No errors - nothing.
Does anyone have a solution? It would be much appreciated.
settings >> applications >> manage apps >> go to 'all' tab >> look for market >> clear data
after that re-login to market and see if that fixes it
Thank you xtone. I tried that to no avail. In addition to clearing cache on Market I also cleared it from Google Talk as I read they are somehow connected. Then I erased cache of all my apps and still it didn't get me anywhere.
Last thing I tried was to uninstall Market update. After that I have slightly different issue. Now it says 'Starting download....' and it never goes away. Also, it looks like Market re-updated itself to the new version! Is it possible?
I'm having the same exact problem. My issue started with Nero v2 and did not get fixed when I flashed Nero v3. Today, I tried PepperKake to see if that fixed the problem, but that didn't work either.
Even after a fresh install (after wiping and re-flashing, and before restoring my backups from Titanium), I try installing things from the market but nothing works.
If you look closely (at least on my phone), it will say "Downloading..." for a second or two, then FLASH "Download unsuccessful" and disappear almost instantly.
Somebody PLEASE help :'( This is very frustrating.
This happens to me on "occasion" where it says starting to download then nothing happens. The only way I get it to work, is if I cancel the current "download in progress" or whatever it says, then click "Install" once again, and then it starts immediatelly.
Also, I noticed that it was giving problems when I was using the older version of the market. Once updated it went away.

Things that I found that could fix the problem...
Under settings>applications>manage applica.>running>clear data for "download manager", 'gmail".
Try re-formatting your SD card. Also, Unmount then Mount SD card.
Also, try using either data or WiFi and see if either works.
Do some research on this, there's alot of different threads concerning this issue, with possible solutions.

I don't mean to sound rude, but why would this affect anything? I feel like the problem must be with either the ROMs (JL5 ROMs maybe?) or the Market? As a test, I downloaded something through the browser with no problem. Also, is wiping much different from reformatting? What about disabling, then enabling voodoo (which I had to do in order to try out PepperKake)? I know they said "don't knock it till you've tried it," but backing up everything, reformatting, and then restoring everything seems like a tedious job and I wanna make sure I know why it's worth a try before doing it...
Also, to the OP: sorry if I'm hijacking your post. I just didn't want to start a new post and have people flame me with "THERE'S ALREADY A POST ABOUT THIS!" and whatnot.
Dude, all the stuff I brought up, I found through research in a couple minutes. Some of things I posted ended up fixing the issue for some people and some not. I do not believe the problem resides in the ROM or JL5 (which I'm running with no issue) but rather mods and what not that was installed previously...."ghost"
In the OP he states he went back to stock, so how could it be the ROM???
You don't want to be rude, nor do some research on the problem judging by your response. You want someone to give you an answer is all. Nobody has an exact answer, you just have to try different things and see what works.
"nuff said...do some research.

No need to blow up like that...I was simply asking a question since this is the Q&A forum. I've had this problem for probably about two weeks and I have been searching through the forums, but I've never found a post where someone had the same exact problem (outside of the Nero post, but their questions went unanswered).
You bring up a good point about the OP using a stock ROM. However, I haven't installed any mods (I went straight to Nero from stock), so I'm not sure how there can be "ghosts."
Again, I'm not trying to be rude or appear lazy. There was no need for response like that. I'll take my research to solve my problem elsewhere.
I wasn't trying to be rude or anything.....but yes, there are various topics on issues with the market going from 2.2 back to 2.1 back to 2.2 and so on....hope you can find a solution to your problem, and maybe later share the outcome with us...good luck!
Found the cause but still no fix
Thanks everyone for feedback. After few hours of trying different things I found what's causing my Android market to not work.
Thus far, what I was doing when I got into trouble was:
1. ODIN to stock ROM and pda (repartition checked)
2. root using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479
3. as soon as my phone is rooted Android stops working
So I tried to install all the apps I really need first: ROM Manager and TBackup (my ultimate goal is to upgrade to nero3. Everything works great. However to use these apps I need root access.
So then I rooted again using same method as always and I get same result - malfunctioning Android Market.
When I root using above method everything works great but I see old icon of superuser application. Is there a newer update.zip to root my vibrant? Or perhaps different way to root my phone? Can I do it manually?
I have two Vibrant phones. One had no problems when I did above steps. One continues to give me grief!
Even when I odin to stock I know not all the folders get refreshed. What actually is untouched when I use ODIN method to revert my OS?
Duce HD2, what is the best way to eliminate 'ghosting' without bricking my phone? I also believe that it's caused by some mod that was done previously - I bought my phone used.
If reverting to 'stock' image is not good enough what else could I do to clean up my phone? I know for example that efs folder is unaffected by going back to 'stock' as my phone remains SIM unlocked when I do it.
Market problem
I'm having the same problem Nero v3 + voodoo. If you find a solution, please let me know,
Thanks!

ODIN back to JFD
Root
reboot into CWM recovery
Wipe cache partition
Advanced
Wipe Davlik
go back
Factory Reset/Restore
and you should have gotten rid of everything
There is an update.zip root on the cynanogenmod ailing page for Vibrant.

The best way ,"I" know, is to ODIN back to stock true (JFD), check repartition. Go through the usual process - root, rom manager, etc. Flash new custom ROM, "important" while it's still in recovery after installation is complete don't rebooot yet, this is where you'll perform these steps:
Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions, perform factory reset. Then finally reboot phone.
I never ran into 1/10 of the problems that I see people having with their devices.
Also, after reboot make sure to leave your phone on idle for at least 15 minutes, so everything can properly get installed. Reboot, log in to gmail, give it 5 minutes, then reboot once again. Good to go.
Just like jmcghee1973 posted.
Give it a try and see if it works for you. Good luck.
Try using one click root as well. Never hurts to try...

Market working again
I followed the odin instructions, went back to stock, re-rooted, then re-installed nero3. This time I didn't restore system apps + data. My market is working. Hope this helps.
It worked for me too when I installed nero3 - market issues were gone.
I am actually not so sure any more that rooting caused the problem. What I observed was that my phone was downloading 'stuff' on its own soon after I reverted to stock image. I know that because I saw few 'download unsuccessful' messages. I also tested this theory - I reverted to stock. Immediately after I could use market but then 20-60 after my Market was not working, even when phone was un-rooted!
I don't know how these automatic downloads were triggered but my latest theory is that they have a lot to do with not working Market app.
Anyway, Nero 3 is not downloading anything automatically and I am really happy with it. Thank you guys for everything. You guys rock!!!
I rooted my P769 Tmobile version, installed Titanium backup, deleted some system app by mistake, and then bricked the phone. I did the hard reset several times. Everytime the hard reset finished, it let me setup the google account, and installed the apps from the Application Manager. But after that, there is no user interface (the screen is black except the topmost information bar), and i cannot do anything by touching the screen, touching the buttons, nothing.
Is there any way to recover the phone and make it work?

Seems that all these methods require more or less operations on the phone, I am stuck on that. Have to have the phone returned.
Was not ubrickable this phone??
I don't think he bricked his phone. He just accidentally deleted the main gui so now it's just unusable, not bricked.
apk push lghome3 with ADB? Also did you ever install the bootstrap recovery? I have a recovery you can flash if you want to test it out to hopefully restore your lghome3.apk which sounds like you deleted.
Its great to see everyone helping you
In case everything fails.
Download your own official KDZ rom from ROM Finder or from ROM Link Collection
Unbrick your (softbricked) phone by Flashing ROM from here
VERY IMPORTANT: DONT PANIC. lolz.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
PS: Try this only if everything fails and you dont get solution with workarounds by others.
Thanks all for your kind help. I returned the phone back to tmobile. Will try to get a new one and won't make the same mistake again.
OK. So. I've been encountering nothing but problems since I received my Huawei Ascend P2 phone.
To begin with -
I bought the phone for the sole purpose of it being 4G/LTE. When I got it, I couldn't figure out how to get it, so I contacted Three and was told that my phone had to be 4.3 - it was running 4.1.2.
When I tried to get 4.3 through whatever means, it stopped working.
I tried to do a complete factory reset and now I'm getting many more problems -
I keep getting errors that anything Google related has stopped working (especially Google keyboard).
My contacts won't auto-sync, despite me having my Google account synced up with it.
The icons at the bottom of the screen (back, home, settings/whatever else) won't light up and the home button isn't working.
It's a different loading screen than normal - before it was a Huawei Ascend splash screen, now it just says "Android".
It is not being detected by my laptop whatsoever.
When I try and download anything using a browser, it says "starting download" but nothing works.
So, anyone have a solution? It is driving me demented. And all because I wanted bloody 4G.

I think we need some more info on the attempt to upgrade via whatever means. What steps / guide were you following? Did you install a custom rom? If so, what rom and what recovery are you using? From a few minutes of searching around, it seems that there is no official 4.3 update for the phone, and just being ON 4.3 itself will not automagically enable LTE service as this has much to do with the radio/baseband used as much as the actual operating system and that will not get updated via a custom rom (99.999% of the time unless SPECIFICALLY stated). Seems like they are working on an LTE capable update/patch for 4.1.2 soon according to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50495570&postcount=162 (that post is part of a thread about your phone on a UK carrier so should be pertinent).

Thank you for your reply.
I'll talk you through the steps I took as much as I can.
Firstly I rooted the phone using eRoot, which did work and allowed root access.
I then downloaded P2Tools, which was obtained from this thread and it allowed me to put CWM on it.
Once this was done, I attempted to put CM 10.2 on it, but kept getting a Status 7 error. Some quick Googling later, I discovered this video, which showed how to solve it.
When I followed the steps on there, I kept getting a Status 0 error.
That was when I started to encounter those problems, so I wiped everything I could, even system, but that part failed.
And that's about it.

K. So you are still on the stock rom, rooted, with CWM recovery (which version?), and after you attempted to wipe /system, it failed to wipe (what was the error message there?), and now it boots and has all kinds of weird glitches? First thing to try would be to go back to CWM and wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache and then Fix Permissions. This MIGHT help. If it doesn't then you will just probably want to throw a stock rom back on there to get back to running right again.

I've wiped the Caches and Dalvik Cache and can't seem to find "Fix Permissions". I did some searching and it seems this feature was removed from CWM? I'm running v6.0.3.7 of CMW.
When I try to format the system, it says
E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"
Error formatting /system!
Weird, they did take it out. Koush said it was a placebo. Which normally I would take as law, if it weren't for many times I have ran fix permissions and it caused apps that were force closing to not force close anymore. But whatever, if you wanna try, flash this: http://db.tt/9aWdF8Rp. It'll either help fix something, or do nothing. Won't make it any worse. If it can't mount to format though, it's either or a bug with CWM for your device, or after factory reset, reboot recovery and try again. But you really don't want to wipe /system unless you have a nandroid or another rom on your storage that is accessible.
Thanks so much for your help so far. Took me ages to figure out how to get that file on my phone, but I managed to do it. I then installed zip from recovery mode and chose the fix_permissions. Then reboot and it asked me to root the phone again. It's now upgrading and hopefully it will work now.
It is still saying "Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped" and other things. What do you reckon I can do now? You're right, it seems like I can't make it any worse.

Ok. So looks like first thing to check is to see WHICH version of the P2 you have because it seems like there are at least 2 different sub versions of it. The P2-6070 and the P2-6011. Please go to Settings / About Phone/Device and let me know all the software info there.
Also, have you unlocked the bootloader (I'm guessing so since you have recovery, but just checking)?
I found some more info on how to get you back up and running, but want to confirm the system version so everything goes as smoothly as possible. There's a new update that just came out not too long ago that people are saying LTE works on, so hopefully we can get you to that point.

Ok. So looks like first thing to check is to see WHICH version of the P2 you have because it seems like there are at least 2 different sub versions of it. The P2-6070 and the P2-6011. Please go to Settings / About Phone/Device and let me know all the software info there.
Also, have you unlocked the bootloader (I'm guessing so since you have recovery, but just checking)?

Mine is the P2-6011.
Swear if we get this working, never changing anything ever.
Yes, the bootloader is unlocked.
Alright, so here is a link for the newest firmware for your phone :
http://huaweidevices.ru/ROM4221/P2/...R001C00B038CUSTC19D001_United_Kingdom_H3G.rar
Need to be on stock recovery. Unpack the rar file and put the whole folder /dload on the root of the SD card. This has the update.app that should take care of everything for you. Turn off the phone and turn it on by holding Vol + and - and Power together. This is supposed to boot it into the mode to take care of the update for you.
If you don't wanna go back to complete stock, I have another way that involves switching to TWRP recovery and restoring a rom via nandroid restore. If you'd prefer that, lemme know and I'll shoot you the links.

If I ever meet you I definitely owe you a drink. Did exactly as you said and everything (from what I can tell) is working.
It's one of the things I love about Android phones - unless you do some serious damage to it physically, for the most part it is fixable.
So, thanks button isn't enough - you saved me giving up and buying a new phone
*Hi Five* Glad all is well!
But yea, I do this for a living. Seriously. Helping people on here is how I stay sharp. lol
getting a gateway 504 error from link to firmware, would love to get this update working as i keep getting a notification on phone saying update available but it wont work

Thank you for your reply.
I'll talk you through the steps I took as much as I can.
Firstly I rooted the phone using eRoot, which did work and allowed root access.
I then downloaded P2Tools, which was obtained from this thread and it allowed me to put CWM on it.
Once this was done, I attempted to put CM 10.2 on it, but kept getting a Status 7 error. Some quick Googling later, I discovered this video, which showed how to solve it.
When I followed the steps on there, I kept getting a Status 0 error.
That was when I started to encounter those problems, so I wiped everything I could, even system, but that part failed.
And that's about it.

Can you post the link of the CM 10.2 rom For huawei P2.
I search for a long long time. but still dosnt found a rom.
Thx
Sorry for digging this up but does someone have the stock ROM of the P2? Im stuck like the fella who started this thread and havent found the stock ROM anywhere.
Thanks for the attention.
So im just going to explain what happened. Originally i rooted my samsung galaxy s5 g900a with towelroot, and i got some rooting programs. It went fine for a while but then there was an at&t update, and i accidently updated it(please dont ask how), and I did, and eversince then i couldnt acess google play, it said no connection, so I tried logging in and out of my account, and then it wouldnt let me log in to my account. So i reset my phone did so much stuff and still wouldnt work. I couldnt even re-root it or anything, and it said it was not rooted, so i just tried to root it everyday. Today it worked rooting, and i rooted it and then deleted the hosts file for freedom which fixed me being able to login in to my google account, but google play still said no connection so i tried everything it said to fix it with no avail. Then i tried reinstalling the firmware, but odin just wont work, i can install the stock kernal but not the rom. I am sure I have it right. So then with safe strap i tried to reinstall the firmware with, but it still didnt work, so i tried reseting, but i went reset the data cache and something else, which i am pretty sure was the os. Now i can put it into download mode, or recovery mode, and i also cant install the firmware with recovery mode, but anything past that it keep showing the Samsung start screen and shows a unlocked lock and says custom, but wont go past there. This whole time whenever i try odin i just says fail. I have no idea what to do know, i am pretty sure i just bricked my phone, and if i could get it unbricked, i would also like to know how i can fix the google play no connection, i have tried everything i have found online so far, so this is my last resort, and my only hope please help. Thank you. for taking the time to read this!

What update version did you take and which one are you trying to load now? You can't downgrade, so if you are trying that, that's probably failing, but since you didn't mention what the error was then I can't really provide much more assistance.

i guess you have messed up with CSC or something to start with stopping the google play from working..and then you have had your partitions wiped with wrong file system and thats why the rom wont boot..you need to flash the firmware on your device using odin with pit file as your drive map, and make sure you select nand erase all..i guess that will fix it..worth a try..wish you luck:good:
thanks
Thanks for the info but I did manage to figure it out, I had to flash everything except for the bootloader, when I kept trying to flash just the ap
