[RECOVERY][ROM]Huawei U8500

Hey,
I recently bought this phone Huawei U8500, and I had a long search on the net where can I get a working recovery, finally I found a modified clockworkmod recovery.
It seems that this phone is highly unpopular.
I just wanted to share my finding.
Here you can download this modified version: Download
Steps to install recovery:
1. Download the clockworkmod
2. Unrar it somewhere on your computer
3. Turn off your phone
4. Press & Hold volume down key + call end (red) key and then press power key.
5. Launch the .bat file on your computer + connect your phone via USB
6. When it's finished, take out the battery and wait 5 seconds before putting it back in
7. Then you can access the recovery by holding volume up key + call(green) key
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One thing I can recommend If your phones android build version doesn't end with "712", I suggest you to update it to the beta release, you'll have more functional dual-touch.
Here is the beta froyo update: Download
To install it:
1. Unrar it to your computer, and find a folder named "dload" with the biggest size.
2. Copy that "dload" filder to root of your SD card
3. turn off phone
4. Hold volume up key + end call (red) key and the press power key. Wait for it to load, it will say something like "Updating system" Wait for it to finish, if it says fail, just try again
5. After it says "Update complete" or "Update successful" just restart your phone and you'll have the new beta firmware.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Russian site I found some unofficial ROM's too.
I haven't tried them yes but if someone is willing here you can download them:
Firmware 2.2 29.01.2011 by Pavlo78
u8500_mao_rls7b2
u8500_mao_rls7++by_march_2
u8500_mao_rls8_by_march
u8500_mao_rls8_by_march
To install one of these ROM's do the following:
1. Copy the ZIP file on root of your SD card, the ZIP file, not RAR.
2. Boot up your phone in recovery mode (by holding volume up key + call(green) key)
3. With your optical trackpad select "Install zip from sd card"
4. From the list choose your ZIP file
5. And then just wait till the installation is complete and then just restart the phone!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I highly recommend you to back up the original firmware before installing new ROM's
You can do that in recovery mode, just click on nandroid and follow the on screen instructions it will backup your current firmware + your currently installed apps.
I'm not responsible for bricking your phone, if something doesn't go well. By doing the things I wrote, you may void your phones warranty.
Don't forget to thank me
Kind regards

Bro, may i have to wipe all data via recovery like slash,cache and dalvik cache before i install froyo beta?

This is really helpful...a lot of Bangladeshis will be needing this. Telenor just launched this phone here.

I am using Huawei U8500 (Local branded as GrameenPhone Crystal). I have backed up my current ROM using ROM Manager. Can anyone confirm that the back-up ROM contains all the information including the Customized Branding???

Yah This one is the complete stock rom. I checked and found gps preloaded rom and this one is identical.
So no worry about Warranty. just load it when you need to go to gps Customer care.

10x a lot, monirr, I waz searchin this stock rom ... & do u kno if itz upgradeable 2 Android 2.3.4 or any1 upgraded?

hey im thinking bout buying this phone as i live in bangladesh... can anyone confirm me about the froyo upgrade does it work???

I did download the beta firmware.
And updated the phone's firmware a few minutes ago.
I have the dual touch now, yay (and a little better keyboard).
Many thanks from a Droid noob.

This should be enough for all your stock rom needs.
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8500
BTW: If you install the clockwordmod, you will lose the GP stock bootup screen (not the boot animation). So if you are going to claim warranty make sure you flash the GP firmware before you go to the GP centre.
Someone was asking how this phone is...the only issue I have is knowing that I'll never have flash on this thanks to the arm6 processor.

There is a thread in the port section of the Cyanogenmod forum. It started with a lame question but later a lot was discussed about gingerbread 2.3.4. There is a Chinese developer (Slax) who has been working on the rom. However, this rom does have a few issues.
I don't know Chinese and google translate is incomprehensible. You should be able to find all the links needed in the cyanogenmod forum.
here is the link.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/21467-huawei-u8500/
for froyo try trial and error with all the official roms. if you don't like one change it. eventually you will find one that meets your need.

i try lot of drivers (original U8500, Original Android, and the SDK's driver too) and still "unknown Andoid device"

Phone stuck in "Download mode" after official Pie OTA update!

Hey good people.
Yesterday i was excited to see the notification for Pie update come up, so i quickly installed it on the phone. It finished, then asked me to reboot, so i did. But for some reason, the phone couldn't reboot properly, and ended up getting stuck in download mode.
Tried to get out of it using every combination, nothing worked. Then i decided, well, lets reinstall the firmware on it. If i could find any! Majority of links are misleading, don't work, yandex disk links didnt let me download anything. Tried like 3 different versions of OST, none of them worked, not even the patched one, not to mention the lack of firmware in the first place.
The only step forward i could make is getting the phone to show up in device manager, because it hasnt even showed up before.
i've never even fiddled with the device's software or anything, everything was 100% stock and untouched.
i'm seriously disappointed in nokia, already contacted the reseller who yet has to reply (i don't have much hope for that either).
Any kinda help would be highly appreciated.

i honestly have no idea about the type, but i have screenshot

actually, no matter what i pressed in what order or battery percentage, it just said "download mode", and i also couldnt even turn the phone off either.
tbh i've contacted the reseller since then, and we'll probably just send it back in the next few days

Don't you have the retail box? The type should be written on it. Also, do you have the ZEISS logo on the camera? If not, then you most likely have the TA-1054 variant, which is for the Chinese market.

it must be the Chinese then, because it doesn't have Zeiss or android one logo on it.
But actually, is that very significant?

Well, I cannot be 100% sure. But I would assume that if your phone was running a ported version of the global ROM and not the official Chinese firmware and it somehow got an OTA update then because of the differences in how the phone's memory is partitioned it would make sense that the device ends up being bricked after trying to flash something not ment to be flashed on it. :/ I hope this makes some sense to you. Also, if I am correct then it makes no sense to blame HMD for this because they have not done anything wrong. It is most likely the reseller who reflashed your TA-1054 with a ported version of the global ROM.

i've legit thought about that! the box itself has lots of chinese on it, so it might be the case. Either way, reseller responded and i'll probably just sent it back to them this week because apparently it's their fault.
strangely, my mi a1 didnt even let the OTA install when i had the bootloader unlocked, so it's weird to see a phone getting bricked like this. I actually felt guilty for letting the OTA install, even though i didn't do anything wrong here (exceptionally:laugh
Thanks for the suggestions m8!

I think You bought a crappy Chinese dummy Nokia 6.1 HMD is not in Finland hands anymore.
The hardware is different. And the software is Android one.
I am curious how your reseller solves the problem.

can anyone tell how can help to exit from download mode. i have tried by connecting charger and holding pwr button and vol up and after andriod logo came i released by pwr button and holding the vol up button. its not worked
later i connected to my pc and install adb driver and fastboot and then through cmd prompt i run adb bootloader but its not working then i check adb devices but there is nothing shows in attched devices and also i tried with fastboot reload then mobie restarts and came back to dowload mode. so out of these step can anyone have any suggestions to get back my mobile..thank you

ok so, i kinda neglected the thread but heres what happened:
i tried EDL mode with deep flash cable, didnt work. i tried installing all sorts of drivers on my PC from all sorts of sketchy sites, after a point i decided not to mess my PC or the phone up even more.
i contacted my reseller who "fixed" the phone by installing the pie update on it somehow, and it's functional now. i even told them the phone wasn't the european version but they didn't seem to care, and i didn't feel like playing with them anymore. but it's FAR from stable, buggy as hell, and LTE B20 doesn't work either (that might have a thing or 2 to do with the phone being chinese...)
thanks for all of u for helping, this particular phone was way more than enough reason for me not to buy a nokia again ))))

Mi A2 Lite Stuck on Android 8.1 - What am i doing wrong?

Hi everybody,
i have a new Mi A2 Lite. I purchased it from a private person, not a shop, but it was still in foil and opened by me. It works nicely, is fast, the phone feels fine, i like it. It has AndroidONE, Oreo, on it. If i search for updates, it tells me that it is up to date and there are no updates. The same for the security patches - they are from nov. 2018, which is nearly a year ago, but there are no updates either.
I wanted to install android 9, so i did lots of tricks and things like using a VPN to poland and resetting the phone and so on, but to no avail - there are no updates.
so...
(1) is there something that can be done wrong? why wouldnt the phone find updates?
(2) is there a way to flash the official OTA zip without unlocking? I do not want a special kernel or rom, i dont want to modyfy anything on the os, i just want the official, latest os on the phone
(3) Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi!
Could you please share a screenshot showing your actual Android build number and kernel version? You might have a fake A2 lite (Redmi 6 Pro).
Edit: Don't flash anything before you're sure that your device is a geniue A2 lite, otherwise you will brick your device.

yep, i heard about that. unfortunately, i did flash it by now, but the flash worked perfectly. i unlocked the bootloader with fastboot, flashed the last fastboot package, and re-locked the bootloader. the device is now on android pie and it still works nicely. is there any way to find out if it is genuine after flashing?

So, now i can say the following:
- the deveice works still well with the flashed software.
- the device did just find and download the google security patches of sep 2019
- the imei of the device passes the xiaomi authentication test
so, i am somewhat sure that the device is an original.
still, i am interested why the device was stuck on the old version. maybe it could only handle incremental updates and the old incremental update was not available anymore?

Hi!
I have simmiliar issue. New, 100% original Mi A2 Lite. It downloaded 1GB update 8.0 to 8.1 (?), but no update for Android 9, and now it is stuck.
My screens:
ibb.co/SKjNJ6D
ibb.co/YR4793D
Regards!

Facing The same in my Mi A1
The same thing is happening with my Mi A1, I have Android 8.1 an I hadn't update to Android 9. Every day the notification for Android 9 would appear in my phone, saying that is available.
Today that update didn't show and when I checked for updates, it said I was already up to date.
Sorry for my English, I barely know it

Well i could probably Help you to flash your device but you should be sure that the device is not a fake, too. I cannot help you with that though. I will look in here tomorrow and give you a few hints to the flashing process.

So, the screenshots of the A2 Lite look pretty mich exactly like mine did. for me the only way was to reflash the device. if you are interested, i can tell you how, but there is a risk of bricking your device if it is a fake a2 lite. i cannot tell by your screenshots, maybe @thorin0815 can?
Otherwise, do you want to try it and risk ist?
edit: you can put in your imei here to check your phone, though i would not entirely trust it.

You're right, your device looks like a geniue A2 lite. We never had an update from 8.0 to 8.1, it was shipped with 8.1.
Maybe Xiaomi pulled the incremental (8.1->9.0) OTA updates from their servers.
The "safest" way to update would be to flash the latest available full firmware via Miflash tool.

well, thats what i did. fortunately there is no longer the need to wait for hours or days to unlock the bootloader, it works in an instant now even without registration.

I did not notice what update it was downloading. I unboxed it, then I connect to WiFi and it started downloading. Anyway it downloaded aprox. 1GB of data, then restart and update. And now it is stuck with 8.1. I thought it will be Android 9 after update with latest patches.
I validate IMEI's on site and it is valid, also it has all google logos, and so on.
Is there any comprehensive update manual for MiFlash for this model?

Well, Not that I know of one that is really complete and up to date. But here you are (own phone, own risk!). Back up your phone first!
Switch on your phone.
Go to settings, about phone.
Tap the build number multiple times until "you are a developer".
Open the developer options.
Switch on USB debugging.
Switch on "allow unlocking bootloader".
Leave settings.
Download this, and install it, answering yes to all three questions:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Connect the phone and when asked, accept the adb debug question on your phone. Your computer is now allowed to debug your phone.
Also download your new os from here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ (put your phone model in there and download the latest fastboot image)
Unpack it. Depending on your packing program you might have to unpack twice - you should have a few folders and files.
Download the mi flash tool here:
https://www.xiaomiflash.com/
Now you are ready. Take a deep breath. Make sure your phone is charged, 50% should be enough.
Disconnect and Switch off the phone. Hold volume down and power until a rabbit working on an Android robot is seen on the screen. Now reconnect the cable.
Open a command window on the computer by pressing windows+R and entering "cmd".
In that window, type "fastboot oem unlock" and press enter. You should get the answer "OKAY".
If your phone reboots now, hold volume down and power again until the rabbit is there again.
Start miflash. Show miflash the folder in which you unpacked the os files.
In the lower right select "clean and lock" and then press update, select your phone, and press flash.
Flashing now takes roundabout 5 minutes.
Afterwards your phone should reboot into Android 9. Your data will be gone (though my phone managed to keep a few of it's settings for some reason).
Good luck!

How To Guide adb doesn't discover phone but fastboot does - trying to install Lineage OS

I'm trying to install Lineage OS on my phone and I have followed all the steps (plus many more they just assume you'll know) from this site, up to configuration because adb no longer discovers my phone.
.\adb devices
.\adb fastboot bootload
literally anything to do with adb doesn't work but it did an hour ago. Now I'm worse off because my phone will only upload to bootload and not to the actual homescreen so there's no going in and double checking if my USB debugging is on (it was before the reset) and I can't access my phone at all, nor can I get things configured. I've updated the drivers via web, deleted and retried the drivers, and restarted the computer. I don't know what I'm supposed to have on my computer that would better upload the drivers. I don't have a clue what any of this is supposed to mean, I was forced to do all of this **** because of the recent Adroid 12 update that I couldn't get rid of without just getting a different OS. Please please please make it dumb for me and tell me how I can get my phone back and download this OS.

Yes fastboot commands work but I need to copy this in the command prompt
.\adb sideload copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip
The tutorial says it isn't an optional step. When I try doing this with fastboot, it tells me:
fastboot: usage: unknown command sideload

Try "fastboot reboot" or "fastboot reboot bootloader"

hi, bro.
once you connected phone on fastboot mode, check device manager if any device is not recognized - try to manually install it from HERE.
if you still have any problems - contact me on telegram terry_222

So I checked in device manager and didn't see any exclaimation points anywhere which is what I assume you meant. Nothing out of the ordinary and Android looks fine. I'd like to message you on telegram and I guess I will in a few hours but it's blocked on my work wifi and I don't have a VPN and my hotspot it obviously bricked at the moment

Yeah I'm gonna just have to try in a few hours because the only way Signal works on my desktop is if I verify it on my phone lol. Again, the phone is completely stuck on FastBoot mode and anytime I restart it it takes me right back, which I think is probably because of the recovery mode I just installed.

bro, I just read what you wrote, if you had version 12 of android, then you already ruined everything and there is nothing left but to reinstall the firmware using MSM tool

I had the most recent update from last week. I didn't catch the name specifically, I assumed it was Android 12. I already did a factory reset on my phone last week trying to get rid of the update or at least revert back to the previous one but that didn't help and it was because my phone version is the wrong one for the revert package they had or something like that. So with that info, you're saying I have to reinstall everything all over again and try again? There's no way to get Lineage on this phone at all?

i
if you were on version 12, then you need to flash to version 11 using the MSM TOOL program, then upgrade to the latest 11.2.10.10, and only then open the bootloader, flash the recovery and then flash the firmware

There wasn't a recovery version of 11 at the time that I could find, not for the 9 Pro. So what do I do now, do you know how I at least get my phone off of FastBoot mode to try this **** all over again?

johnmtrowbridge said:
I had the most recent update from last week. I didn't catch the name specifically, I assumed it was Android 12. I already did a factory reset on my phone last week trying to get rid of the update or at least revert back to the previous one but that didn't help and it was because my phone version is the wrong one for the revert package they had or something like that. So with that info, you're saying I have to reinstall everything all over again and try again? There's no way to get Lineage on this phone at all?

if you flashed the boot file through a fastboot being on the 12th version of android, you will never be able to do anything but very tricky manipulations that a small number of people own, so you have one path that I indicated above. and by the way, I do not advise you lineageos 11 version, better derpfest 12 version, 11 version is obsolete and you will understand it yourself

can you tell me which version your phone have? IN/CN/GLOBAL/INDIA

Ok dude what I hear you saying is that 1.) Android 12 can't have Lineage OS installed because the version doesn't jive well with the OS, 2.) the instructions will only help on version 11 that I have to get first and 3.) I don't want Lineage anyways because derpfest 12 is better. Is that what you're saying?

General Android 12 for everyone :) /RM6,RM6Pro/

Hi guys!
Here's a little trick, if someone might not get the Android 12 OTA update: the update is already on the official website, but for some reason the interface wasn't edited, or I don't know... So, if you rewrite the version number in the download link, the download will start. XD
EU: https://rom.download.nubia.com/Europe/NX669J/V510/NX669J-update.zip
North America & Asia: https://rom.download.nubia.com/Europe&Asia/NX669J/V610/NX669J-update.zip
I completely reset the phone before that, with Mitool, in EDL mode. Everything works, 5Ghz Wifi, Volte, etc., so far I have not experienced any errors. The interface looks smoother, but that might just be because of the clean phone. I like the new Gamespace much better. If you don't like it or if you find errors, you can use the Mitool-EDL method to revert to any previous version.

The update was pulled from OTA due to bugs - some users experienced boot loops that required full reset (you did that anyhow).
In my case, I've had cellular network issues where it appears the device disconnects from the network when on WiFi - phone calls are no longer received and legacy SMS/MMS won't send/receive until WiFi is disabled or the SIM is toggled off/on.
An update is apparently on its way, but it's been over 3 weeks now.

Sorry, by everyone I meant not only those who are sent OTA. Android 12 has already been released for the 6R in China, so I think it will arrive soon for the 6R as well. :/

I did a completely clean update. I completely formatted it, deleted all partitions /even the "persist" by accident, but I managed to restore it, but that's another story/.
Then I reset the phone using the Mitool-EDL method and then updated the clean system to EUCommon-V5.10.
The only mistake is that it lists the battery as 3550 mah instead of 5050 mah.
What you write about not receiving calls on Wi-Fi, etc., also occurred to me on the V3.28 system. If I set the mobile network as preferred in the vowifi settings, the error disappeared. Now I haven't experienced this error, vowifi works normally even in wifi preferred mode.
So far, I have not experienced any errors apart from the incorrect listing of the battery, although I cannot test 5G because it is not yet installed at our place...:/

I doubt it since it took 7-9 months for the android 12 update to release globally for the RM6 & 6 pro after it came out in china.

do you have instructions or video .i dont have experience with that

I'll describe how I did it, but I can't promise that everything will work the same way for everyone. I don't know if there are hardware differences between each phone because I could only test it with mine /RM6P/. If someone tries it, do it at your own risk!
Be sure to save the "persist" partition before doing anything!!! Also save Qcn, these two are very important!!!
1. Backup partitions:
2. Backup Qcn:
3. /Optional/ Erase ALL:
After backup, I entered the partition manager in qfil, and after right-clicking, I clicked on "erase entire flash". But it's not absolutely necessary, but I definitely wanted a clean install. When I returned from Chinese Android 12 to EU 11 and didn't do this, the first time I started it, the phone setup got stuck in the wizard and wouldn't let me continue. From this I realized that the Mitool-EDL method alone does not completely clean the phone.
If you have completely reformatted the phone with qfil, you will need to restore the "persist" partition and Qcn with qfil after Mitool is finished. If you haven't formatted it completely, you don't need to restore it, but you should still have a backup of them, you never know when you'll need them, believe me!
4. And here is the description of the much talked about Mitool-EDL method:
RM6/6Pro Unbrick Tool - EDL Flash / Switch from CN to EU
Hello guys, I received the following unbrick tool from my supplier in Shenzhen - China and wanted to share it with you since I noticed that many people are desperate to fix their RM6 and swap it to EU. The process is super easy: 1) Download &...
forum.xda-developers.com
5. Update rom:
If you're done with Mitool, you download the ROM you want, copy it to the internal storage and install it with local update in system update!
I did it this way and still found no errors. (Except that it says the battery is 3550mah). I use the EU510.
After Mitool finished, any rom goes up with local update, I tried EU328, UN428, CN810, UN610 and EU510
This method did not require unlocking the bootloader.
According to my theory, I could root with qfil without opening the bootloader, but I haven't tested it yet. If I try it sometime, I will write about my experience.

Two more things:
1: The Firehose file is in the "image" folder of the Mitool pack, it is also needed for Qfil.
2: If someone wants to enter EDL mode from Fastboot after updating to Android 12, the phone will restart immediately. You have to make an Edl cable from a USB data cable, or buy one and use it to enter Edl mode.
It actually seems complicated, but the point is that the black/GND/ and green/data+/ wires have to be touched together while plugging the cable into the phone, and then after a few seconds they have to be separated from each other. The switched-off phone will thus immediately switch to Edl mode.

3.28/4.28 is still the last available version on the official website. The only problem with this trick of rewriting the version number in the download link is that we don't know what was fixed in each version...:/

This is from v.6.12:
