Hello,
I have updated my AT&T Dell Streak to 2.1 and now I am in need of the original stock bootanimation.zip file. Can someone with a Dell Streak, with build 6601, run this command:
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip ./
and post it to this forum or provide a link?
I will use this to replace the 2.1 boot animation (O2). Thanks in advance!!!
Last but not least, does anyone know how to remove the default RSS Widgets? Thanks again!!
More info on how to use the adb command:

If you can give me a little more detail and a step by step on how to exactly do this, I will do it for you.
Is everything still working ok with the Root you did last night? I am thinking of doing this tonight.
Everything is Fine!!!
Hey @mjaverto, thanks for willing to help! And yes, everything is fine; root worked perfectly!! It is what allowed me to update to 2.1 :-D
As a matter of fact I have modified my 2.1 ROM quite a bit:
- Removed O2 boot animation
- Disabled the black popup window that replaced the standard menu bar. I am back to using the 2.1 grey menubar
- Removed/disabled bloatware:
Twitter
Facebook
Getting started guide
Outlook task and notes
RSS Widgets
AmazonMP3 (Replaced with US Version from my Nexus One)
Also modify the build prop to boot US Locale by default and other minor changes. Now all that's left is to change H symbol to 3G symbol and add stock US bootaninmation.zip. That's where you come in. LOL!
Anyways, I am not sure how familiar you are with the Android SDK, but it comes with a tool called "adb." This tool allows you to do all sorts of debugging. It also give you the ability to push and pull files from the Android device's file system.
What I need someone to do is install/download adb and the command from my earlier post. If its done correctly, you will be able to pull files from the Streak's filesystem.
The file I need is:
bootanimation.zip (adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip)
I am not sure what OS you use, but here is some more info on adb (Windows specific): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UF5w1dKe2U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Not super familiar but I think I can do this for you. I'm guessing I will need the root done first to be able to use "adb"? Maybe you can share your 2.1 Rom with me after you change these last few things as I'd love to upgrade.
*Windows 7 64x by the way. Should that work ok?
If I have any questions I'll shoot you a PM.
Actually...
No, root isn't necessary. You will only be pulling (copying) files from the filesystem; root is only needed when you want to write to the filesystem and run root system apps.
...And there is one problem with sharing my ROM... I have no idea how to package it. Dell uses, as far as I can tell, a proprietary ROM package (.pkg) format. The best I could do is walk you through the process of getting 2.1 installed. I am basically modifying the ROM on the device.
Hopefully, someone will develop some neat way to backup, modify, and package ROMs for easy installation. Heck, a way may exist... Maybe someone could chime in and enlighten me.
I am not sure about Windows 7, I run Linux. My guess is that you shouldn't have any problems. PM me if you have any more questions or concerns.
***Edit: Is that path you have above correct for sure? I keep getting remote object does not exist.
Upload: I attached tools.zip. *Note the two files inside are the only two files I could find named BootAnimation on my phone which is stock 1.6 ATT US.
Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
Try this...
Try this:
Code:
adb shell ls /system/
and post the output
I posted two "BootAnimation" files I found above
See output:
Cool!
Now type:
Code:
adb shell ls /system/media/
Let see what this produces. Hopefully we will see the file:
Code:
bootanimation.zip
listed.
Nope
Nope sorry. I did a search of the whole device with Astro File manager and it searched all these folders. The above two are the only ones with boot animation.
A search for "boot" yielded these 4. There is no bootanimation.zip:
system/bin/reboot/
system/bin/bootanimation/ (attached in above post)
system/customization/BootAnimation/BootAnimation.xml (attached in above post)
system/bootpriority.xml
sorry.
Private msg...
@mjaverto, check your private messages...
Here ya go mate
I zipped up the bootanimation folder for you from my US Dell Streak Build 6601
Enjoy!

What steps did you take to update to 2.1?
Which steps did you take to update the 2.1 rom?
I was alble to flash the clockwork recovery rom but could not boot it when the device rebooted...

You Are Man!! Thanks!
Thanks! You even grabbed the images! Awesome!!
Anyways, looks like you missed a step with getting 2.1. You need to install the stock UK recovery image: http://www.romraid.com/paul/streak/recovery.stock.img
This will get your recovery image to accept UK ROMS. From here, you should be able to flash 2.1 directly.
See @Greenarcher707's excellent post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7668927&postcount=6) on this forum for detailed guide. Since you have already installed the clockwork recovery image, you should be able to skip steps 1 and 2.
Once you have downloaded the image: (update-6941-21.pkg | http://www.mediafire.com/?bb9cvm5uaap2z8k), save it to the root of your SD as "Update.pkg."
The last step will be rebooting the phone into the recovery mode by holding "volume up" + "volume down" simultaneous and pressing the power key. From here it should be self explanatory.
Good luck and let me know how it goes. Hit me up if you have any more questions and thanks again for your help!!!
US Stock ROM Build 6601?
Awesome!! well I see you have to flash the UK stock rom which has a lower build than ours...Is there anywhere you can download the stock US Rom Build 6601 in case we want to go back to stock? Since the nandroid backup is not working in clockwork..I cannot do a a rom backup

Unfortunately, I don't know if a stock 6601 ROM exist. I figured that at some point the internets would produce one :-D But for now, those of us that took the plunge are stuck with 2.1 for now.
Thanks cemian!!
FYI...
I just completed the port of the stock boot animation to the 2.1 image. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7681745#post7681745 for more information.
Thanks again @cemian for your assistance!!
I'm thinking really hard of upgrading to 2.1. but a lil scared but no stranger to flashing.how is this flashing compared to wm flashing.

I find it is alot easier than WM once you get the hang of it. I also find that Android phones are harder to brick than WM phone, but not impossible. Just make sure you do plenty of research before you take the plunge. Good luck!!

any idea how i can root it? side loading apps seems to work without any hacks, as I was able to install some apks I had laying around on my dropbox, and I have installed some using Android Commander...but I can't work out how to root it, does GingerBreak NEED a real sd card inserted to work?

Yep, it's worked on all the orange roms, and devices. Give it a whirl.
But before you flash a new rom over your stock tmobile, could you help us get you original sbf up on the forum. You will need to be rooted to do it.
It will help you in the long run, so if you have a problem you can return to your stock

I have no problem doing that atall, i'm glad to help as much as I can...
so just to confirm, GingerBreak will only work with a sd card inserted, as I have tried it and it doesn't seem to do anything, but I don't have a sd card inserted atm..
how would i go about backing up the sbf afterwards? also what does sbf stand for?
thanks.
edit - just redone GingerBreak with a sd card and i can confirm I am now rooted..
can i not do any of the hacks around at the moment? as they all report versions im not on? e.g.
1.42_deodex_OlympusCamera.zip
1.57_deodex_OlympusCamera.zip
1.83_deodex_OlympusCamera.zip
also, what is deodex?
Strange, it's running a newer rom than the orange atrix, being as both orange and t-mobile are one of the same now, you would have thought orange would have had a update to the 2.2.3?
SBF means system binary file. basically its a completely stock system image. Flashing it thru RSDlite (software flashing application from motorola), will completely return your phone to stock.
Deodex: Basically, Android uses a a java based virtual machine as the bases for running programs. This virtual machine is called Dalvik. A .dex file contains the cache used by the Dalvik VM (called Dalvik-cache) for a program and is stored inside the .apk. A .odex file is an optimized version of the .dex file which gets stored next to the .apk as opposed to inside the .apk. This process is done by default to system apps. Deodexing is the process of converting the .odex files back into .dex to be stored inside the .apk so that things can be more easily modified. So a deodexed rom is one that has been through the deodexing process. Deodex can just as easily be called Unodex or any other pre-fix you wish to use.

should be very easy, but you must have a sd card.
We are then after a couple of files off your phone, and a little information? Are you game?
Do you have any knowledge of using ADB?
If not have a look here to start, but goggle will be your friend on this.
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=ADB
We're after a request for a firmware, we need to submit the following files (using adb pull):
/system/default.prop
/system/build.prop
/system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/File_GSM
about phone > weptop version
Then we can hopefully grab your sbf, so we can use it for restoring the phone, if there's mistakes made.
Have to say I don't know about modding your phone, you'll have to try.
But that's why sbf, is important.
As devs have got around bootloader, I would get used to your phone, while roms like vanilla android, miui, and cm7, get ported over.

True but have you seen how much more the phone is to TMO renewal customers, compared to Orange renewal.
But looks like it could be a very good sbf to grab.....

Yep you should be clear to go forward, just remember no way to rerun to stock at the moment.
I've forwarded this information to daywalker04 who seems to be able to find these sbf's, and it could take a while, the web site he uses is a couple of posts up.
flashing at the moment is mainly themes at the moment rather than roms
Will post sbf on the orange uk thread in general.
Plus pm you a copy, if and when we get it.

I wish I had that flex version.
It doesn't appear to be on Motorola's system yet. Sometimes they take a while to catch up.
Here is an alternate method to find flex file.
Be sure to set Android USB debugging mode on your device to OFF. Then make sure you have the latest Moto drivers installed on your machine. If you can connect to Motorola Software Update using Windows OS and try to run a software update--- it will not succeed because there is no update for T-Mobile UK.
When it searches for an update it will store the necessary info in a file called MSU.txt (this is the file needed) in the Motorola Software Update program directory. Then you can find the flex version.
That file is on your computers directory, rather than your phone.

oh haha sorry. just recived mine and it took 3 days for $20
I'm a complete noob and I've searched the forums and can't find an answer to my questions. (I'm sure there's some answer in Japanese on a Japanese forum somewhere, but my Japanese is not up to that level.)
I have a Toshiba Regza IS04 from AU (in Japan).
Running Android 2.2.2
Baseband Version 5014.1907.39
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-rel [email protected] #1
Build Number FFK300
I have been researching rooting on and off for months since I first got the phone and have decided I would like to root it. My reasons for rooting:
1. I want to get rid of all the apps that were pre-installed that I don't use.
2. I would like to have the latest version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. (I doubt that another authorized upgrade from au is ever going to happen, since the 2.1 to 2.2 upgrade.)
It seems from reading forums that there are special builds of an OS depending on the phone?
My questions:
1. What is the best way to backup my phone before rooting?
2. What would be the best rooting method for my phone (SuperOneClick?)?
3. How can I (or even can I) upgrade my Android to 4.0?
Thanks for any help!!

To answer my own question, in case any one else wants to know:
Okay... it looks like I cannot post external links... until I post 8 times, which I don't really predict doing... so I'm going to try just removing the http at the beginning and see if it will go.
Superoneclick v2.2 does NOT work with this phone. It gets through "Rooting device... Step #7" but cannot remount.
Unrevoked does not work.
Z4root also does not work.
But I found a Japanese site with directions that did work! YES!!
hibari.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/smartphone/1320415141/
Somewhere in the page was the following information and link:
■auto_rootkit_is04_v0.5+suhax
hotfile.com/dl/134084004/f59084e/auto_rootkit_is04_v0.5suhax.zip.html
I downloaded the zip file and extracted it. I clicked on adb.exe first and then clicked on the auto_rootkit_is04 batch file. I just hit enter after each step. (It's in Japanese, but all it says is each step it is doing and then to hit any key.)
The first time I ran it, it did not work. The second time, I turned my phone off and on again before trying anything, and bingo: I had root!
Some of the Japanese threads were saying something about the problem with superoneclick was that the is04 took too long to mount and so there was an error. At least, I think that's what it said. My Japanese is okay, but not always good enough for this type of stuff.
I hope this can help someone else.
Thank you so much for this response!
I have the same phone, and I've been wanting to root it for a long time. There were so many pre-installed applications that are just hogging room, especially since I can't read Japanese well enough (yet).
-T
I hope it works for you too!
I spent probably the equivalent of 2-3 days searching over the last few weeks, but couldn't find anything that I was comfortable with trying.
This morning, I finally got the nerve up to try superoneclick and was really disappointed when it wouldn't work. Then I started trying all kinds of methods, and about 8 hours later finally came across the method that worked!
It's probably the only thing frustrating sometimes about having a Japanese phone: lack of English support!
Now I'm just hoping I don't break it! I'm backing up all the apps with Titanium backup before I start deleting them one by one. I would hate to delete something that is crucial to the system and not be able to restore it. I'm also looking into other ways to backup the system.
One word of warning. Your au one market will not work unless you do one more step. It's mentioned in English in the readme file. I didn't bother because I never download from it anyway. (Although, I probably should just so I'll keep getting updates on some of the J apps that I do have.)

hi!
I am a newbie here and like you all, I would also like to root my regza phone. Can someone give a working auto_rootkit because the link above is not working. I have searched it as well on the net but still all will lead me to dead hotfile link. Or someone could send me the file instead to my yahoo mail [email protected] tnx in advance
And also i have downloaded this rootkit instead from IS04 and downloaded. After dowloading, I click the adb file and it appears a command screen with commands running so fast. Next i did click the root file and there appeared a command screen with all sorts of command running so fast. My question is, i did not received any confirmation that the rooting process was succesfull. And also i have read to other forums that one thing you will notice that rooting was successfull is that 'superuser" will be automatically installed.
Please help me on this one. To be honest I started exploring this process since i have this phone and there are apps that i wanted to uninstall not unless i root the phone.
Thank you in advance

I have this phone too. And I try to get root, you can send for me the link of you downloaded and explain for me how you made it.
Other question, I can use this phone to call in brasil?
Thank you.
:good:
My phone just had this phone and I'm trying to update it before rooting. It came with 2.1-update 1 OS version and I'm trying to update the phone to it's latest official 2.2.2.
I've downloaded the necessary 256mb file update but it didn't work. Even tried using the recovery but is still not working.
Based on my research about this phone, There's no way to update without the phone downloading the app from the official website, using the SIM and au logins.
We've lost the sim (UIM) card that came with the phone. So I guess its stuck on its current OS. I'm having trouble installing apks (Gingerbreak and even normal apps) as it always gives me the error "parsing error" or something.
Is there anyone could help?
EDIT:
I have successfully updated the phone from Android 2.1-update1 to Android 2.2.2.
Download all the necessary files here:
http://www.fmworld.net/product/phone/is04/
I have used the method of updating from the least upgrade and up to the latest. I have managed to download 3 separate files for the upgrade, namely:
IS04_RC2_RC3RE_DL.zip
IS04_RC_4.zip
IS04_TO_SP_FYRC_4.zip <- froyo update
I have extracted all the files on the sd card. make sure that the ".enc" file is found on the root of the SD Card and on the "prg" folder.
I have updated it using the recovery mode (power + volume up + camera button).
I am now currently trying to Root the device using Gingerbreak and seems that it's taking too long to root.
Also. I have able to root the 2.1-update OS using z4root.
help me

I downloaded the zip file and extracted it. I clicked on adb.exe first and then clicked on the auto_rootkit_is04 batch file. I just hit enter after each step. (It's in Japanese, but all it says is each step it is doing and then to hit any key.)
The first time I ran it, it did not work. The second time, I turned my phone off and on again before trying anything, and bingo: I had root!
.....
.....
I hope this can help someone else.

Thx so much for your posts.
I am so glad to finally find someone with the same phone, the same problem and intentions
I do, however, need more info:
Did you extract the files into any particular folder? You obviously hooked up in de-bug mode, but did you command prompt anything?
I tried your steps but get nothing to 'hit enter' on. I have also tried the other (different version) toolkit.
You can IM me or email or post or come around and root my phone yourself - I will sell you my car, house, wife...
... as you can tell I am a little frustrated ...
lets just IM/email for now
Thx in advance,
Kaz

Hi, I am newly registered user here who bought a 32GB Tablet S on the Woot deal the other day, long story short there is a question about the configuration of the Woot deal tablets over in the developer section, but since I am a new user with less than 10 messages posted, I can't answer there, so I am answering here in hopes someone will point them to this message, and it may be helpful for others:
About Tablet reads:
Android Version 3.2
Kernel version 2.6.36.3 [email protected]#1
Build number 1.10.001100001
On a side point I would like to ask if these are rootable from 3.2? and should I upgrade to 4.03, I have read some on lack of root access on these devices?
thanks
p.s. I am fairly new to Android, have a version 2.2 phone, but have been running Linux as my primary OS for over a decade

Hey. Thanks I thknk that was me. I don't have min.e yet but I think from reading alone that you can pull a zip from an early ics build and root it using condi's aio method. Don't quote me... I also think that you cannot root it out of the box.. but ics should hav e a new kernel.
As a linux dude maybe you can help out with the dev on these things.... it seems to be needed.
I would wait for someone in the know about this process to answer.
Thanks...I really hbope I can root it. Custom roms would be nice but a root is almost a requirement for me.
Thanks agaain for the reply

The kernel being build 10 will probably cause a failure trying to root the 3.2 directly to 4.0.3. First, run Condi's All-in-One tool (use AiO v4.0, I believe v4.1 has a bug that Condi needs to fix) to pre-root and install a version of 3.2.1r2 with a kernel build that is less than 10 like THIS ONE or THIS ONE. Then run Condi's All-in-One tool again to pre-root and install version 4.0.3r1a. Remember to take your time and read slowly, carefully, and completely before using the AiO tool. Good luck. BTW, I also bought the same Woot deal (my second Sony Tablet S). It is scheduled to arrive Monday and I will be doing the same pre-root and install.
Thanks, by chance do you know if there is a step by step howto on the condi All-in-One tool that is not full of insider only alphabet soup acronyms, I think I get the concepts, but I also know messing up can create a fairly expensive paperwieght. I have googled a few sets of instructions, but they seem to all inlcude steps like before running AIO make sure your ABC or XYZ is up to date, this may be fine for people that have done this a dozen times, but for those of us going down this road for the first time we have no idea of what an ABC or XYZ is, or even what it stands for, much less how to find out if they are up to date. It also seems most of these instructions take steps for granted, saying things like "copy file onto an SD" with no further explanation, such as must it be an SD card or will SDHC work, is file name or directory structure important, etc. I am not so much looking for handholding here as just some confirmation that my assumptions may be right, even such things as if these tools should be downloaded onto a computer running windows or onto the Tablet itself. With the woot sale I suspect that there will be many more people here soon with these sorts of questions, and many will be completely clueless, at least I do have 25+ years of running Unix like operating systems, and have been using Linux as my primary OS since the 2.0 kernel days, and to tell the truth am rather lost in all these messages full of acronyms and short hand descriptions.

In the thread that covers Condi's All-in-One tool, what you see is what you get. But to get a good gest of how to root the Sony Tablet S, I recommend you watch BluechipJ's VIDEO and read TheHurf's POST, which is the post BluechipJ was following in his video. I also recommend you watch the video and read the post several times before you actually attempt performing the root. Please note that the video and post are based on using All-in-One v2.7. Regarding "SD", a standard SD or SDHC card can be used, but it must be formatted FAT32. I used a SanDisk 32 GB SDHC card. Again, good luck.
Thanks, I found the videos last night, but not the message threads they were refering too. Together I am sure they will be most helpful
So I read the posts referenced earlier on, and I watched the video, but both start from a rootable ROM already on the tablet. Since the Woot ones come with 3.2 with the un-rootable kernel 10, I'm not sure how to do the intermediate step of getting the rootable 3.2.1 version on there?
The tablet is offering me an OTA update, but it says it's for 4.0.3 - it doesn't seem to give an option to go to an earlier version first. Does this mean that we're boned on these ones, or is there another way to get a rootable version on first?
It looks like the ALLinONE tool can't do anything for us unless we either root the tablet or make it rootable - am I missing something or looking at something the wrong way?

If you want to have root access on your tablet, DO NOT ALLOW THE TABLET TO PERFORM AN OTA UPDATE.
First, download the 3.2.1r2 and 4.0.3r1a files from the previously given links and store them on your computer. Next, download and install on your computer Condi's All-in-One tool. The most popular versions seem to be 2.7, 3.4, and 4.0. The previously mentioned video and post are based on version 2.7.
Now manually update the 3.2 to 3.2.1r2; don't not attempt to root it yet. Just copy the 3.2.1r2 file to a SD card (formatted FAT32) and install the card in your tablet. Power off (not sleep mode) your tablet. Power on your tablet into recovery mode by continuously holding down the VOL+ button and momentarily pressing the POWER button. Release the VOL+ button after you see the recovery mode logo. From the recovery mode's menu, select 2 Update system from SD card. (VOL+ and VOL- buttons are used to navigate the menu, POWER button is used to select the highlighted selection.) From the next menu, choose and select the 3.2.1r2 file. Allow the manual update to complete.
After your tablet has been updated to 3.2.1r2, leave the copied 3.2.1r2 file on the SD card and use Condi's All-in-One tool to root and reinstall 3.2.1r2 by following the directions given in the previously mentioned video and post.
Finally, after 3.2.1r2 is rooted and installed, delete the 3.2.1r2 file from the SD card and copy the 4.0.3r1a file to the SD Card. Again use Condi's All-in-One tool to root and install 4.0.3r1a by again following the directions given in the previously mentioned video and post.
To summarize: first update 3.2 to 3.2.1r2, then root and reinstall 3.2.1r2, then lastly root and install 4.0.3r1a. Good luck.
Thanks! It was late last night, and I must have been in the wrong headspace to be trying this, because I woke up in the middle of the night and thought "Oh, I bet I have to put it in recovery and flash that file..."
After that, everything went pretty smoothly along, just as everyone said. A couple places where the process varied from what the ALLinONE tool seemed to expect (the _hack_recovery.zip file doesn't get pushed, or rather gets pushed as "install.zip," which I guess is supposed to make it auto-flash when you enter recovery, but on mine it didn't, so I copied _hack_recovery.zip over manually and ran it with the same results). Otherwise very smooth. Everything looks great.
Thanks!
Cat: your link above with the 3 files (THIS,THIS and version 4.0.3r1a) to donwload, seems to have an issue, specifically the link to version 4.0.3r1a goes to a file with the exact same name as one of the "THIS" files, maybe a different copy of the same file as the link is different. Before making a major mistake I wanted to confirm that "this" is correct.
Ike
p.s. one more detail, should the zip files be copied to the SD card still zipped, or should they be unzipped to the SD?

I checked all the links. They are correct.
The first THIS ONE and the second THIS ONE are links to the same file stored at two different locations; that is why I wrote "or". Both files are signed-nbx03_001-ota-0042.001.zip, which is a rootable version of 3.2.1r2. The first was uploaded to 4shared by Condi, the second was uploaded to 4shared by me. I provided both links just in case one of us decides to delete our upload. After all, the files are eating up our allotted 4shared storage space, eh?
The link for the 4.0.3r1a file signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip links directly to Sony's servers.
The zip files are to be used as is. Do not unzip them. They are encrypted and signed files. If you attempt to unzip them using programs like 7zip or WinRAR, you will receive error messages saying the files are corrupted even though they are not corrupted.

Thank you for posting a much need FAQ.
A couple of hours ago, FedEx delivered my (second) Sony Tablet S from Woot. It is a model SGPT112US/S. About tablet says Android version 3.2, Kernel version 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1, Build number 1.10.001100001.
Above, you state 11000 (I assume you mean Build number 1.10.001100001) must be updated to 0035 (version 3.2 file signed-nbx03_001-ota-0035.001.zip) before updating to 0042 (version 3.2.1r2 file signed-nbx03_001-ota-0042.001.zip). I am curious, please explain why 11000 cannot be directly updated to 0042? Why the need for the intermediate 0035 update?
Like i said in an ealier post, I planned on updating 3.2 to 3.2.1r2, then rooting and reinstalling 3.2.1r2, then rooting and installing 4.0.3r1a. Is my plan with error? Am I wrongly advising others to do the same?

Not too sure with US but have had a user woth Mexico and had to install 0035 3.2.1 before 0042 3.2.1r2 as installation would abort. If it works without 0035 than thats awesome but atleast the way I described It will 100% work :fingers-crossed:
I assume it must be done this way because 0035 is 3.2.1 and 0042 is 3.2.1R2???

LOL, I get it now. Haha gotta love forum confusion . Anyway you may have been right aswell, over on FAQ thread, a US user managed to get by without flashing the 0035 inbetween....... Yet the Mexican region's update needed the 0035 inbetween. But I guess there is only 1 way to find out......

Hi together,
I'm trying to root my Huawei Vision U8850. There seems to be only very little information about this phone available, and I've had no luck so far trying various methods.
I've tried SuperOneClick 2.3.3, UnlockRoot, DooMLoRD v4 and some other batch scripts, with no avail. The problem seems to be that the phone is running with Android 2.3.7, and most of the tools are using the Zerg Rush exploit, which seems to have been fixed in 2.3.7.
Zerg Rush always returns a "[-] Hellions with BLUE flames" message, which I suppose means that it failed.
Does anybody know a way of how to get root for this phone?
I've found a Chinese(?) forum where they asked the same question it seems, but I couldn't register there without some sort of code. Maybe somebody knows actually Mandarin/whatever.
translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fbbs.huaweifan.com%2Fshouji-15208--2.html resp. bbs.huaweifan.com/shouji-15208--2.html (links not clickable I'm afraid).
Some more information:

ww*.mediafire.com/?aaqs7vt7aavv3
I've found a Russian forum with quite much activity regarding the U8850 Vision. Problem is, I don't speak Russian, and registering on that forum requires you to input a Cyrillic CAPTCHA, which of course didn't work with Window's Character Map.
I've tried to translate the instructions on how to get root from this post: 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=257207&st=1700#entry14246750
I am however not sure if I understood everything correctly, or if Google Translate was working correctly.
I'm also not sure what exactly the "Russian Channel" firmware will do to my phone (e.g. phone is only in Russion, keyboard is in cyrillic, GPS not working, etc).
The firmware can be found on the official Huawei page (alongside a "Japan softbank" version): huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3812&tb=0
Below is my take on the instruction (which I haven't tried yet). Does this sound plausible to you?
Instructions updated, see below.

*** NOTE ***
The forum software won't allow me to post links, and obviously it corrupts text links. So if there appears a space within a link, you have to remove it for the link to work.
Ok, I've successfully performed the root now by creating a custom firmware which includes su, busybox and Superuser.
I've uploaded the firmware here:
mediafire.com/?aaqs7vt7aavv3
To flash the firmware, you will need the "U8850 Upgrade Tool V1.8.4" from here:
ww*.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDQwNjQ=
This will erase all of your user data, so save anything before you do this. And of course I'm not responsible if anything bad happens to your phone, all I can say is that it worked for me.
The firmware is based on a Slovenian one found here:
johnnyparanoia.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Huawei%20U8850
I've labelled this method the "Russian Root", because I found the initial instructions on a Russian forum. I've translated the instructions and added anything missing to it.
See below for a detailed instruction on how to create a custom rooted firmware for yourself.

You'll need both Windows and Linux to perform this update (e.g. a second computer, multiboot or a virtual machine).
In Windows:
1) Download the "U8850 Upgrade Tool V1.8.4" from here:
ww*.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3812&tb=0
2) Download the "U8850 (Android 2.3.7)V100R001C279B244SP22(Slovenia TUS Mobil)" firmware from johnnyparanoia.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Huawei%20U8850 or madmodder.co.uk/huawei/u8850/huawei-u8850-firmware-list.htm and extract the contained firmware (we need the SFC-244M-0-8025-A03.nb0 file)
3) Download nb0-utils.jar from yadisk.cc/d/MbFUvzN6bic
4) Download busybox from yadisk.cc/d/JIWwvYPNblL
5) Download su from yadisk.cc/d/XtZXIL9rble
6) Download Superuser.apk from yadisk.cc/d/7TQNlhsFbm1
The following steps need to be performed under Linux:
7) Create and navigate to the folder where you want copy the downloaded files to (e.g. "sudo mkdir /home/username/u8850/")
8) Create a folder where you want the firmware to extract to: (e.g. "sudo mkdir /home/username/u8850/extracted/")
9) Copy the downloaded files to the folder you just created in step 7), using a usb flash drive or whatever means you have (e.g. "sudo cp /path/where/they/are/saved/*.* /home/username/u8850/")
10) Go to that folder: "cd /home/username/u8850/"
11) Unpack the downloaded firmware into the "extracted" folder, using the following command: "sudo java -Xmx512m -jar nb0-utils.jar unpack SFC-244M-0-8025-A03.nb0 /home/username/u8850/extracted"
- Note #1: if this doesn't work, try to install Java first: "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre"
- Note #2: extracting the firmware requires quite a lot of RAM, hence we added the "-Xmx512m" flag which allows Java to use up to 512 MB of RAM. Make sure your Linux machine has this much RAM available!
12) The extracted file "SF8-0-244M-0002-system.img.ext3" contains the Android file system, so we need to mount this file.
- To mount it, we first need to create a folder in /media/: "sudo mkdir /media/android"
- And then we mount the file to that location: "sudo mount /home/username/u8850/extracted/SF8-0-244M-0002-system.img.ext3 /media/android/"
13) Copy the previously downloaded "busybox" file to /media/android/xbin/: "sudo cp /home/username/u8850/busybox /media/android/xbin/"
14) Change the file permissions to 755: "sudo chmod 755 /media/android/xbin/busybox"
15) Copy the previously downloaded "su" file to /media/android/bin/: "sudo cp /home/username/u8850/su /media/android/bin/"
16) Change the owner and group of that file to root: "sudo chown root /media/android/bin/su" and "sudo chgrp root /media/android/bin/su"
17) And the rights to 6755: "sudo chmod 6755 /media/android/bin/su"
18) Copy the previously downloaded "Superuser.apk" file to /media/android/app/: "sudo cp /home/username/u8850/su /media/android/app/"
19) And change the permissions to 644: "sudo chmod 644 /media/android/app/Superuser.apk"
20) Now unmount the image file again: "sudo umount /media/android"
21) And pack the firmware again into a .nb0 file: "sudo java -Xmx512m -jar nb0-utils.jar pack /home/username/u8850/firmware_rooted.nb0 /home/username/u8850/extracted/"
Now we're finished in Linux, the actual flashing has to be done in Windows.
22) Somehow transfer the newly created firmware_rooted.nb0 file to Windows (e.g. with a USB stick).
23) Unpack and install the "U8850 Upgrade Tool V1.8.4". This will install a "SUT L3" program ("Software Update Tool") and the USB drivers for the U8850 Vision.
24) Connect your phone with a USB cable and use the Software Updater to flash the firmware_rooted.nb0 to the phone.
Don't get (too) nervous during the flashing and booting procedure, it does take quite a while.
After completion, all of your data will be reset and the phone should now be rooted. To check, use e.g. "Root Checker" from the market or any app that needs root rights.

I haven't noticed any particular problems which I could connect to the rooting process. Yesterday it did take the phone quite a while before getting a GPS fix, but it has done that before (seems to be a general problem for me, even with AGPS settings), but GPS itself was working fine after that.
I'm also having some issues where the internal partition (resp. the /system/ folder) reports an error that there's no space left on the device, e.g. when trying out AdAway instead of AdFree Android. And the latter was working fine.
Besides that, it's working fine. I can call / be called, camera is working, music is working, radio is working (if you can call that working).
I haven't figured out yet how to install the Clockworkmod Recovery yet though. It's still requiring a valid certificate for the update.zip on the Recovery screen, that hasn't changed.
Hi guys,
U8850 Update Tool crashes when trying to flash a phone with the rooted imaged, works just fine with other images. Anyone else facing this problem ?

The forum software won't allow me to post links, and obviously it corrupts text links. So if there appears a space within a link, you have to remove it for the link to work.
Ok, I've successfully performed the root now by creating a custom firmware which includes su, busybox and Superuser.
I've uploaded the firmware here:
dl.dropbox.com/u/5387565/Android/Huawei.Vision.U8850.Rooted.Firmware.V100R001C279B244SP22.Android.2.37.rar
To flash the firmware, you will need the "U8850 Upgrade Tool V1.8.4" from here:
ww*.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDQwNjQ=
This will erase all of your user data, so save anything before you do this. And of course I'm not responsible if anything bad happens to your phone, all I can say is that it worked for me.
The firmware is based on a Slovenian one found here:
johnnyparanoia.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Huawei%20U8850
I've labelled this method the "Russian Root", because I found the initial instructions on a Russian forum. I've translated the instructions and added anything missing to it.
See below for a detailed instruction on how to create a custom rooted firmware for yourself.

Nevermind, it was the filename that confused the Update Tool, changed the filename to a shorter one and it worked, it flashed it, now booting.

Yes, I'm afraid Dropbox doesn't really like public links, they've disabled that feature temporarily for my account. Although I severly doubt I've really reached the limit of 20 GB/day for this single file...
I've uploaded the file to Mediafire now, although I had to split the archive to make that work. I hope it'll live longer there.

Hi together,
I'm trying to root my Huawei Vision U8850. There seems to be only very little information about this phone available, and I've had no luck so far trying various methods.
I've tried SuperOneClick 2.3.3, UnlockRoot, DooMLoRD v4 and some other batch scripts, with no avail. The problem seems to be that the phone is running with Android 2.3.7, and most of the tools are using the Zerg Rush exploit, which seems to have been fixed in 2.3.7.
Zerg Rush always returns a "[-] Hellions with BLUE flames" message, which I suppose means that it failed.
Does anybody know a way of how to get root for this phone?
I've found a Chinese(?) forum where they asked the same question it seems, but I couldn't register there without some sort of code. Maybe somebody knows actually Mandarin/whatever.

Can you remember what the error message was when the filename was too long? Did it look like this:
Error Code: 0xc60e
Error: Download fail,
Error = SE_ERR_SUT_DETECT_DEVICE_FAIL (0xC60E).

Ditto. Should I just flash it with U8850 Upgrade Tool? How can I get CWM on the pre-rooted Jelly Bean ROM?
Hi! I flash the rooted firmware and now it's rooted! Thanks!
In another forum i found the jellybeamV3.zip but i can't enter in recovery to flash that ... any help?
How can i flash now with a zip file? Thanks!
