Hello,
I have huawei u8230 device with andriod 1.0. I have to update it to 1.5 or better. But I found 1.5 rom, but when I try instal it from recovery mod and zip files I get verification failed. My friend told me that I have to download oryginal (not custom) rom. Have you got link to it? Or other working rom?

Really? Huawei released the 8230 with Android 1.0? That comes as a surprise to me. I thought that the 8230 started with 1.5 and then updated to 2.1.

I don't know where you are from, so I don't know what official rom your phone came with. In any case, I think (not completely sure) you should be able to use either of these two official 2.1 roms:
Red Bull Mobile 2 rom
Huawei B878 rom (Arabic)

Both of those are official U8230 roms. After you properly install either of those roms, then you can install the custom roms in this forum. But you need one of those official roms as your "base" to install the modified roms on top of.

See the link in my signature for The Ultimate Pulse Owners Guide. You can learn more there about installing roms.

Good luck.

Sorry my mistake. u8230 has andriod 1.5.
But, I can't activate phone without oryginal sim card. When I try to connect to google account, I get standard andriod error. So I can upgrade rom only from recovery menu. I hope that roms will be good, and I will not have error about veryfication.
Greetings from poland.

Huawei U8230 is a Android phone that is made in China. I can't say that, it is best because it comes with small amount of memory. Huawei U8230 contain 128 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM which is very less compare to other.
