Guest eiamhere Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I followed the guide, everything fine until the installation of the ROM (flbmod_v1.7.zip) At this point everything stops and this appears: E: Can't symlink/system/xbin/su E: Failure at line 135:symlink/system/xbin/su SYSTEM:xbin/su Installation aborted and the phone not work. any advice? I've been getting this error also. Tried to refrain from posting, did a lot of searching, but ultimately gave in. Also after wiping data/ factory reset and wipe dalvik cache and get the following error run 'wipe dalvik' via adb! I've restored my Pilse countless times with a nandroid backup, used z4 app to ensure I still had superuser. I'll apologise for being a bit thick, I haven't root or done much at all with mobiles before. These are the steps I took: U8220 which I updated to 2.1 Uk Installed drivers and did 'install-recovery-windows' for recovery mode. Tried to install flb-mod v1.7 Placed in root of sd card (not extracted), I receive the same error as Ciri59 Tried Z4 app to ensure superuser, still the same error. If I haven't provided enough info. please tell me what I'm missing Thank you in advance if anyone can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bibbly Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Checked: U8220 Done. Installed the original 2.1 update from T-Mobile prepared on the SD-Card. Done. Done. Done.

(PC with ubuntu) Done. On terminal window in ubuntu get the following messages: sending 'recovery' (3768 KB)... OKAY writing 'recovery'... OKAY Done, but this is where the process does not go further: I press POWER+MENU+RED, the device shows first an unreadable mess (as ususal since 2.1 update), then Android screen and then T-Mobile boot screen, ending up by booting with previous version as if nothing has happened. It is only then that I leave the three buttons. I have repeated this operation many times but always with the same result: the device does not enter in Custom Recover Image screen but boots up as usual. Any idea? I have never rooted the device nor done any other change except the 2.1 update which works normal. The SD-card is 2 GB, the original one. I tried the operation also without the SD-Card inserted but the result is always the same. I have exactly the same problem, I'm totally stumped :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jay Man Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Hi :D I'm trying to install my first custom rom (J-Mod Current Version: v1.4 Release Date: 02.10.2010) using the instructions from the first post (thanks btw) and I'm getting an error message when after choosing to flash the zip file: E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/[ E: Failure at line 9: symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/[ Installation aborted. I've searched for this problem but all I could find is that the UK 2.1 official update makes the partition too small for the install to work properly but the instructions on the first post say to use the UK 2.1 not the Hungarian one. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks :D Edited June 5, 2011 by Jay Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Per Søgaard Carlsen Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Returning to the Official 1.5 Update ..... The Guide Step 1: Prepare your phone, backup anything you need to the SD card or computer. Note that everything will be wiped off your phones internal memory. Step 2: Download the Official 1.5 downgrade file from here: http://www.huaweidevice.com/community/serv...25490/dload.zip ... Step 10: Allow your phone 5+ minutes to boot up for the first time. Does anybody have a link to the dload file from step 2 ?, the official link doesn't work any longer. Thank /Per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead I pushed MENU+RED+POWER and the AmonRa screen comes up. So the order of the buttons to press is very important, POWER must be the last!
