[Q] Help needed after failed CM7 ROM flash on Huawei U8510 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was running Gingerbread on Huawei U8510 (Ideos X3/Blaze), using Tesco Mobile network.
Rooted using Automatic Root Enabler, which also installed ClockworkMod Recovery.
Backed up phone using Titanium Backup and did a Nandroid backup too.
Accidentally clicked Fix Permissions in Clockwork menu system, had to do a bat. pull and restore from Nandroid backup. Worked fine for the rest of the day.
Then tried to flash a CM 7.2 rom that claimed to be compatible, seemed to install, fine, so I rebooted.
Now, when I try to boot, it get stuck on the Huawei logo and does nothing (I left it for an hour to see if it would move on, no such luck)
Tried rebooting into Clockwork(Vol-, Power), couldn't, same result as when trying to boot normally. Same result when trying Vol +, Power. Power, Vol- and Vol + all together results in a screen saying "Firmware update, Step 1/2, Unpacking, Update Failed) I believe this is for use with stock upgrades, but that's best guess.
Tried loading a stock ROM onto SD card and using that last combination to see if I could reflash to stock, didn't work.
Sorry for the long post, but figured any info might help out and I have been researching this for 6 hours now. I'm out of idea's.

Okay, 39 views and 0 replies... could someone please respond? Even if it's to tell me the phone is screwed.

It worked for me

Something similiar happend to me. I too have a u8510 X3, using IUSACELL (that's mexico operator).
I made a backup of user settings and data. Then rooted my phone with the Automatic Root Enabler just the same as you. I first tried flashing some custom ROM I founded but it didn't work, fortunately I was able to restore the phone to the stock ROM. Later on, I accidentally clicked Fix Permissions in Clockwork and after that process ended, the phone booted but with some funny issues in the system and aplications. Then I decided to make a recovery from a backup I did in the Clockwork before that happend and when the process of recovering ended, rebooted and... never passed the initial logo. I tried to enter the recovery pressing Power + Vol-up... no luck I tried several times removing battery etc. The only thing finally worked for me was to place a stock ROM in the \dload SDcard folder and flash it into the phone pressing Power + Vol-up + Vol-down.
My problem now is that the stock ROM I pushed into the phone (one of the just 2 versions, both for the UK publicated at huawei's web) is not the same as the one my operator here in mexico uses so now the 3g service is not working. Huawei has not published yet all the operator ROMS for the different regions and I haven't been able to get a copy of the stock ROM I need. Operator doesn't provide the ROM's either, they don't even have it...
If anyone comes with an idea of how can I solve this problem I would be thankfull.

[Q] Help with recovery on Optimus One P500?

Ok, So I've recently updated to stock gingerbread 2.3.3 with baseband .35. I rooted my phone with the SuperOneClick method. Root was successful (Finally).
I then wanted to install a custom ROM, so I installed ClockworkMod's ROM manager, flashed the clockwork recovery image and everything. I decided to make a backup image in case I didn't like the new ROM. I then selected the "Backup Current ROM" option, and left my phone to it's own devices. When I got back about 5 minutes later, I find that I have a hard reset on my hands :| To add to that, I don't even have a backup image!
I tried doing that a couple times more, once, I even held the POWER+VOL.DOWN+HOME combo and all. The same thing happened each time. The recovery backdrop and a sliding progress appeared, after about 4 seconds, the progress bar stopped moving, it shifted back to the LG boot logo. If I kept the combo pressed, it would go on and on for about 5 times, if I released it, it would just continue on to the boot and I would get another hard reset every time. I tried "Reboot into Recovery". Same thing. Once, I selected "Install ROM from SD card", with the backup option selected. Somehow or the other, due to the combo or something, I came to a screen that had four options.
1) Reboot
2) Install from SD card:update.zip
3) Wipe data
4) Wipe dalvik cache and cache
I was able to scroll up and down with the volume rocker, but the only other button that worked was the Home button, which toggled between the screen I mentioned above and a screen where all of the text was removed and there was just the recovery background. I finally popped out the battery and booted, and got yet ANOTHER hard reset.
HELP!
It seems Clockworkmod recovery was not flashed correctly. What you see is the stock android recovery. The recovery key mapping is:
volume rocker-up/down
menu (left most button)- select current option
back - go back
the behaviour you see when pressing the home button is normal.
After using Rom manager to install CWM recovery, it is not recommended to do further operations through rom manager, best uninstall it. Instead, boot into recovery using the three button combo and do operations from there.
I would suggest try again to re-flash CWM recovery.

Thanks, but do you have any idea WHY using ROM manager is a bad idea? Just curious.

Well, one reason I've encountered is that while flashing cwm recovery, if the download fails for some reason, Rom mananger has flashed the incorrectly downloaded file without verification resulting in a fastboot semi-brick for many users.
Another reason is related to the way it operates the recovery. I'm not very sure about this point, but I've seen many people having problems with backups and flashing.
Thanks, you were brilliant. I flashed another recovery from ClockworkMod, this time with a WiFi connection, and everything worked great.

after the kdz method i think that u can do nothing, if u r under warranty then give your phone back and just say after trying to update through original lg software ur phone would not start at all. or try reading and asking in this thread

[Q] Can't access recovery nor reset to factory settings on rooted device

Hello,
I own an Android tablet KO PARA1 FULL and experiencing a strange problem. This is a chinese atm7029 quadcore tablet (16gb, 1gb ram, without bluetooth, only wifi, bu supports 3g dongle), running android 4.1.1 nad 3.4.0+ kernel, which came prerooted. After some time I've decided to install backup programs on in to make a full backup of the device for the case something would go wrong, and after some trying I descovered, that there is something like recovery for that purposes which seemed a good solution for me. I decided to install CWM, which I managed to install without problems and made some backups on my device. Everything was fine, I did some factory resets through the time, some restoring processes from my previously backup states of the device, was always able to activate CWM recovery menu through Reboot to recovery or through combination of Volume down a Power button...
Until last saturday. I was normaly surfing the internet, reading mails and afterwords I powered my tablet off (it is draining battery in sleep mode, but its another story..). After a while wanted again to write a mail, so I powered it on. In that momet seemed the screen too dirty for me and I tried to cleen it little bit throug the bootup process. Unfortunately I obvious confused the system with it and after boot it was not responding properly. I did not wait enough and after a while powered it off with power key pressed for a long time, to make a new boot.
But when I powered it on again, it stayed stuck in boot logo and did not boot at all. I've tried a copple of times to boot it again with no cuccess, stayed stuck in boot logo for more then 10 min...
Afterwards I decided to make it boot up with the help of computer. I downloaded adb and drivers and somehow managed to make it boot up. I thing I was too excited to see it boot up again, that during boot up process I desconected my device from computer...
My worries were reliesed and I thought it would be a good idea to make a restore from backup to prevent some strange behaviour, so wanted to boot into recovery, but nothing had happened. After some repeated clicks on Boot into recovery button, as well as app called rebooter with nothing happening, I decided to try it out through button combination. It has not worked as well Next try was to reset to factory settings. But when I go through the menu, I can click on reset to factory settings button, seeing warning that I will lost ma data, then I can push the button to make it happen, but nothing is happening. I see only the screen with the button, can touch it 100 times and the tablet stays on, fully funcional. making no factory reset as it done before.
I did a lot of reading and searching, but have not find answer for my problem. I flashed recovery images from my backups (using flashify, flash gordon, adb shell, terminal emulator), from all previously functional states of the device. I refleshed the CWM recovery downloaded from the internet for my chipset, which previously did the job just perfect, with no success...
I am still not able to reach recovery menu. For me it seems like the bootloader would be locked, but I did not find the answer how to unlock it without to be able to start in some recovery state to use fastboot command to unlock it.
Otherwise, my device is functional, still rooted, i can use it without any other problems. But not be able to do recovery from my backups, even do a factory reset.
How can I restore my access to recovery mode? Is it somehow possible?
Hopfully it is not too much information (tryied to follow the intructions and wrote everything I thought would be important to know about) and you will not be bothered to read all my story and pull me out of my darkness with helpfull suggestion.
Thanks a lot in advance

Huawei u9510e brick

I've search long and hard ..to no avail. I have a huawei ascend d1 qaud u9510e. Its had a chinese custom recovery and was flashed with MIUI 3.2.22. From the UPdater miui i've been spammed by to do a 'weekly update'' on a daily basis. I read it , it said it didnt delete internal and minimum problem would happen. So I did it. It went through the install phone rebooted. it worked one time till I restarted phone. now i am unable to get back .All i see is the HUAWEI start up logo. it just hangs there. the phone wont turn off just restarts itself to that screen, I am unable to get to custom recovery by holding the power button + volume + which etc. I have the original miui 3.2.22 on my sd card but cannot get to that because of this bootloop/cannot access reovery mode. majority of the time my computer will not reogonize my device but sometimes my computer recognize my phone as adb. How Can I fix it so I can get to a recovery so I can reflash to previous working rom. thank you for your time

How I booted into TWRP from power-off

I've seen lots of comments about not being able to boot into TWRP to flash something after rooting and phone is all setup. Quickboot and Tasker can do this but I wanted to do it with on/off/volume buttons (like my old Samsung, (I'm spoiled)).
I locked up my phone fooling around with the build.prop. I could not get beyond the LG logo. I decided I had to start over with factory restore. (Hold Volume down/on/off at same time, when logo appears release on/off for 1 second, still holding volume down, and press on/off and hold until it boots into Factory Restore mode.)
I went through the prompts to factory restore and on the last "Yes" the phone booted into TWRP instead of into a Factory Restore. After restoring from my nandroid backup I tried it again and it worked again. So, I've concluded if you have TWRP installed this is the method I used to boot into it from power off.
Tested and confirmed on my v10 as well.
That's how I used to do it on my G3 when I couldn't boot properly.

Woohoo! Thanks. Worked.
OMFG! it wasn't until I was about to make a post about this to ask for help that this post came up and I am ever so grateful! Like others who have had trouble getting there with the hardware buttons, I tried so many ways and searched far and near with no workable solution until this!
How'd you install recovery ? I'm having h960a model and i can't seem to be able to root or install recovery.. i've tried every method out there .
As far as I know, only T-Mobile USA version has root and custom recovery so far.

Pepsi P1S corrupted eMMC?

Hello
Yesterday i have recieved the Pepsi (Koobee) P1S. it was full of bloatware so i decided to flash a modded rom. After i realized that this custom rom is only in english and chinese (Im German) i wanted to switch back to the original. But then i made the biggest mistake: I have flashed the false rom (CM for Mt6592 CPU but false Smartphone). After that i have flashed the right original rom again. but a strange Error appears: the Phone boot up normaly and then freeze and reboot by itself..over and over again. But not at the same step. Sometimes it freeze during the Bootanimation..sometimes it boot up completly and i can swipe through the Screens (for about 10 sec). When i push the standby button (Display went off) the Phone stays in this mode and dont freeze.
the i flashed TWRP and try to wipe the phone. Even in TWRP it freeze, but not during the wipes or in the Boot Mode slelect screen.
I Have a friend with the same phone. Is it possible to copy a complete backup (eMMC etc) to my phone? Or someone had a Idea what i can try next? I have flashed different roms (for this phone) so many times, but the error is still there.
Please help me.. It should be a present for my GF birthday today
SOLUTION
I downloaded the flashtool that flashes MTK Devices then searched google for Pepsi p1s needrom and downloaded the original firmware scatter file, turn off the P1S unplug it from USB,...Start the flashtool, and search the firmware will be second search bar select search and browse your computer for the firmware you downloaded from needrom, then you will see it load all the files.....there is a button bar that has an arrow open the arrow and select firmware update, then hit the green go button after you hit the green go button plug in your powered off PEPSI P1S ....it will give you a red bar on the flashtool at bottom first, then it will format your device properly, then install all the necissary files, its real quick about 3 minutes, after a box will pop up on the screen and say OK with a big check mark, at this point you can unplug your phone, power it up and wait about 3 minutes, everything will be normal again. So sorry I would post the links however I forgot my password and username that I was using for many years and forgot my recovery email as well.....so if you google it you can find the stuff, just hope I helped with the proper method of flashing......good luck, let me know how it goes.
Thanks but i know how to flash the firmware with SP Flash Tool. i have flashed the P1S with 3 different roms..but always the same error (freeze and reboot at different points)
Are you using download mode? Or firmware update? The reason I ask is download mode always gave me a bootloop, but when switched to firmware update mode it formats the device correctly and fixes the file structure, try firmware update mode.
Im using "Format All + Download"
Try using firmware update mode, let me know what happens.
same problem...freeze (at different points) ans reboot.
here you can see what happen:

try this! P1
power off
then hold power button + volume down
the boot mode will appear
select recovery
it will show you no command
then pres power button first and the press volume up
now you device is on recovery
then select
wipe data/factory reset.

I have noted one thing.
when I update supersu to play store and reboot it goes in bootloop.
so I recommend not to upgrade or even to make unroot just after removing apps with viruses
