Huawei U8220, only reboot after applied superboot and recovery amon-ra

[Guest mtoloko]

Hi guys.. after I applied 1.1-pulse-superboot and 1.2.3-pulse-amonrarecovery, my phone starts normally but the touchscreen don't work, any idea about that ?!

[Guest nicox45]

I had the same problem.. I think it happens when you install superboot. Anyway, I found no way to make it work again, (tried everything) so I just talked to the provider and changed it for a new one.. If you can find a way to fix it please tell me how!! bye! good luck!!

EDIT: You are from Brazil, I am from Chile, I think we have the same clear (OS) version of the pulse... superboot seems to be only for tmobile pulse customized devices.

Only thing I can think of is too boot into fastboot and reflash with the newer versions; or take it back and get it replaced

If you're going to put one of Paul's ROMs on it - you don't need to need to apply superboot first. Superboot is only if you want to keep your original ROM, but have root access on it. All of the custom ROMs come with root access by default.

So what you would need to do would be to flash the custom recovery image and then flash the U8230-based custom ROM.

I think the pinned topic about superboot should be edited to warn anyone from other providers to install superboot. It seems to work only with the tmobile pulse not a huawei u8220 device !! :)

hey.. i doesn't known about this.. i have a U8220-based custom rom but i don't have the custom recovery image.. i can access the mobile but the touchscreen didn't work..

[Guest mtoloko]

i tried many changes.. but doesn't work.. at this afternoon i've received another mobile from my provider.. thanks everyone ... later i'll try update this new mobile.. MOD can lock this topic!

It's good to hear you're getting a replacement. I would strongly advise you NOT to install any of the custom ROMs from this forum if you have a Claro U8220/U8226, otherwise you'll lose the touchscreen again. The ROMs hosted here are intended for the T-Mobile Pulse.

In the UK, T-Mobile have produced firmware updates for the Pulse. If Claro (or whichever provider sold you the device) if they ever release a firmware update for the U8220/U8226 then please post a link to it on this forum. It usually consists of a file called 'UPDATA.APP'. From that we'll be able to safely extract the boot image and discover what the difference is, and perhaps even cook some ROMs for your region. Until then, you should resist any temptation to flash over your boot image or recovery image.

I heard some of the company I work saying that Huawei was one of procedure and send files to update to the Android 2.0, I do not know if it's true. If true, I share with the forum. I work in a mobile phone company and I will wait to see what happens. Thank you.

Hi Team. I had the same problem and got it reflashed by Huawei but they won´t give me the ROM image.

The problem is that the TouchScreen stop working after I tried to root it.

Can anyone confirm if there is any other (safe) way to roo U8220 ?

Thanks in advance.

[Guest kenoboe]

Try my superboot for Taiwan's U8220.

Using pulse's superboot could also cause my phone cannot reboot normally or touch screen couldn't work.

So I made a superboot for my phone.

I'm not sure if it can work on phones from other countries.

Remember to back up your current rom before you apply it.

Remember to back up your current rom before you apply it.

and the way to do that (without flashing/modifying your device) is by booting into the recovery image:

fastboot boot recovery...img

Hi fiskmasen, I suspect your phone is using firmware: U8220-HD1U822M29V100R001C125B249SP01(Sweden H3G). So if your phone isn't working correctly you could try reinstalling that firmware from here: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/down..._Sweden_H3G.zip

But, be warned, it will wipe everything on your phone (contacts, SMS messages, apps, etc.) all will be lost but it should restore your phone back to it's original factory state as if brand new.

You can test this one... Superboot U8220

I've made this for "Rizzly" ... also from Sweden!

Do a Nandroid-Backup before

Hi,

I've tried got root on my mobile(after december patch), but i have some problem because my phone it's different of T-Mobile Pulse, so when I apply the superboot image to my mobile my touchscreen don't work. After I tried create my own superboot image, but it's doesn't work.

I follow theses steps:

- Unpacking boot.img (superboot)

- Copying /superboot and change init.rc to write some strings and change default.prop ro.secure = 0.

- Repack after including some files, but the new boot.img has its size minor than the original file, and When i apply in my mobile it's only huawei splashscreen.

See here my own boot.img(original) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TQY2B56W and changed bot.img http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GA841O9F .

Help me please, I wanna get root to use App2Sd. Thanks.

[Guest ajieboy]

help.

i got problem with touchscreen after install superboot. the touchscreen is not responding :)

i cannot unloc or do other thing related to touchscreen

however, i still can use the button

my Huawei U8230 is having Build Date Jan 17 2010

how to solve this problem?

TIA

====================

edit :

i extract boot.img from U8230 U8230V100R001C00B250 and then change the superboot flash image in the BAT file to boot.img, and then replace the existed superboot flash image (that makes my touchscreen not working) with original boot.img

now touchscreen works again
