I can get to  the clockworkmod screen but cant do anything.

 

To find the Image folder, refer to my reply #136, Step 8.  I use Windows so take that into account.

 

With your Huawei USB drivers installed:

 

1.  Boot into "pink screen" (VOL-UP, VOL-DWN, POWER).

2.  Connect usb to phone.

3.  Notice that you now have a new drive under "My Compter" (or equivalent name)..

4.  Look at the new drive and there will be one folder called "image".

5.  In that folder are all the files that are referred to when talking about the "Pink Screen".

I cannot do anything when i am on clockwordmod except to move up and down.

I believe your problem is the Boot.img file you installed.  I assume it's job is to boot the ICS system and is not compatible with the Gingerbread ROM.  Putting back the original boot.img file should allow a normal boot in Gingerbread.  If you don't have it you can get the files from:  http://www.4shared.c...52/_online.html or you can get the original ROM install from http://forum.gsmhost...ml#post8821770.

 

In CWM, if you moved up and down then you are using the Volume keys.  The Camera key allows you to select what ever is currently highlighted.  The Power key backs you out of the sub-menus.  If these keys are not working, for whatever reason, then I don't know of any other way for you to do the ICS upgrade.

How long should the final reboot take on this? I was able to follow all of the instructions from OP, but after the final reboot it's been sitting on the T-Mobile boot screen for about 10 minutes now.

 

Edit: Nevermind, I retried a few different times and it finally took. The instructions in OP work on my U8680, but I had to get familiar with CWM first. To clarify, the factory reset is in the top level menu, but the format stuff is in the mounts and storage submenu. When it says 'reboot recovery', use the actual reboot recovery command in CWM, and when it says 'reboot system', use the actual reboot system command in CWM. It takes about 60 seconds to boot the first time, then ICS.

 

Cheers.

I haven't really used ICS yet since I decided to replace my touch screen (waiting on the new screen).  However, on post #128 above (from ttrout678), he said he was able to get 4g going again after talking to T-Mobile.  He has his email info posted and I'd suggest contacting him to see if he can be of any help.  Then please post what you have learned here so it can be of help to others (including me!).

 

Update:  Regarding 4G operation, I've heard back from Ttrout678.  He said T-Mobile changed his APN settings for him and it worked (he didn't actually do it himself).  Here is a link to T-Mobile instructions (http://support.t-mob.../docs/DOC-1976 ) which I assume are what was done for his phone.  I can't test it out myself since I'm on LycaMobile instead of T-Mobile.

Try and get back to the stock ROM.  You can download it here:  https://www.mediafir.../#sa8vbgvqvmq66.  The install instructions are in the ROM zip file.   If it is truly bricked, then I have no other suggestions.

Are you trying to install ICS and unable to format System with CWM? 

 

The fix, in short, is to use "Cwm Recovery - Tethered And Unstable!" (http://www.droidrzr....d-and-unstable/).  The fix, in long, is what follows.  Please note that I tried many things, so these aren't my exact steps.  But I believe these are the steps that actually achieved the install of ICS (done on Windows 7).

 

The download url on that link is not working.  Does anyone happen to have a copy of this file that could be reposted or sent to me?  I'm running Windows so I would need the Windows version.

You can download the files from here:  http://batakang.com/ftp/?dir=hwu8680 (same website but it looks like they changed their domain name).  I edited the original post so that it shows this link.  Also posted the link on the original "Cwm Recovery - Tethered And Unstable" thread.

Thanks a lot!  That did the trick.  Now my wife's phone is at least semi-usable.  The rotation issue is kind of a pain, but locking everything in portrait works and I also installed nova launcher and the default Android keyboard to fix a couple minor issues.

Hi. Did anyone finally get a working custom rom for this device? I really liked the Huawei myTouch Q U8730 G312, but running Android 2.3 is going to be a real problem once official Google supports stops, and it would really be a shame too!
