when you turn on the phone you have a blue screen,that's right.

Ok,then connect your phone to computer,you should have an amovible drive,inside it there something missing.

for my huawei U8730 this drive is a folder named ".cust_backup" when i used root explorer.

Normaly it have a folder named "image",inside there's boot.img,recovery.img,amss.mbn,EMMCBOOT.MBN,cust.img

I have backed up it and i have replaced the files then pulled out the battery and turned on the phone,the phone boot normaly.

That's for my device your i don't know but seem the same problem

where can i found this folder?when i conect my phone to pc there is only a image file with all this stuff, but nowhere a .cust backup

[crazygrouzin]

So when i conect to microsoft pc there is only the image folder,  when i conect to ubuntu there is 4 folders, and very strangly my interal memory is empty, but still nowhere back up on the other 3 folders.  Any ideas?

You meen the image folder in pink screen yes?  I tried every format with your files, i cant see even android logo, Only huawei logo and after bluescreen.   Phone is ok cause i can see 4 partisions with ubuntu,  But the rom must be corupted

So i formated everything with ubuntu. all the 5 partisions, and stragenly pink screen is working, soo there must be a sixth hiden partision with bootloader. I hope someone will make a update.app for our phone. And i will never never buy their product again,  1.4 gh cpu, 1 gb ram and 2.5 android? come on huawei, really? and no support at all, Even lg has all the firmwares for free,

Samurai u have nothing to loose like me, If u want try this firmware, it didnt work for me, maybe it will for u. https://rapidshare.c...C397A2C850F90C9

EDIT : when i conect pink screen in minitool there is 12 partitions

[Mayobe]

I want to try a new method for the newest update. Can someone email me at mattlgroff (at) gmail.com so I can look into an unrooted phone with team viewer?

I have an unrooted U8680. I think I have the latest upgrade. The build number listed in the 'about phone' screen is U8680V100R001C85B845.

 

Do you still need to look at one?

 

EDIT - I guess I can quit being a derp and just email you like you asked.

thanks for the suggestion crazygrouzin, I will try it now, will edit this post with result in a bit.

 

EDIT1: i checked the buildnumbers and they match so I'm getting my hopes up! unfortunately I will have to wait until wednesday/thursday to flash it.

does this root method work with android 2.3.6?? 

[SamuraiCX]

@davidang713

 

I haven't used this phone in a while, but I'm 99.999% sure that this phone only has 2.3.6. So depending on your buildnumber, this root method will work on 2.3.6.

Hi samurai, did the firmware worked?

[lurker]

Hey guys! It's been a while since I last viewed this topic. Since the bootloader is still locked, I was just searching up some stuff and I found this:

 

http://www.huaweidev...d=toApplyUnlock

 

It is an official huawei unlocking site thing where you have to give them your model number and stuff and they'll send you a password or something to unlock your phone. 

 

What do you guys think about this? Could it really work? Would we finally be able to flash ROMs onto this phone?? I really hope so! Thanks for your time.

 

EDIT: Oh nevermind...I guess that won't work because the product model of this phone is not available on that site...bummer. Sorry to get your hope up, you guys. But do you think it would be possible if we were to request this phone to have its bootloader unlocked?

@CrazyGrouzin I'm not sure because I don't know how to apply UPDATE.APP to the phone. Can you provide me with a little help on this?

@Lurker I'm planning to send an email to Huawei soon, I'll ask them about bootloader unlock.
