Guest siumai Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Dear all, I'm new to this forum but I hope my information/experience will help. I have purchased a U8220 in Hong Kong (PCCW) by mid-Feb, the version of my phone is Model number: U8220 Firmware version: 1.5 Baseband version: 6383 Kernel version: 2.6.27 Build number: U8220V100R001C104B256SP01 The rom has incorporated some PCCW apps on it like HD TV player, MOOV, netsync on mobile etc. After playing with the phone for two days, I have decided to root it. I used the superboot from this website and had it applied to my phone, the touch screen dead after reboot. I have the option to get a replacement from PCCW within the 10 days trial period, so I have done a little bit more googling and actions recapped below. (1) Install RA recovery 1.5.2, OK (2) Install MCR U8230 1.7, fail, the touch screen still dead (3) Try T-mobile Dec updated, update fail (4) Flash this rom through recovery, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE! :( wifi, vibrate, bluetooth, sound etc. This rom has been rooted by Paul, I can run adb remount, using quickboot & manager terminal. Now my phone version become: Model number: U8230 Firmware version: 1.5 Baseband version: 6383 Kernel version: 2.6.27-perf huawei@localhost #2 Build number: U8230V100R001C00B250 I have lost my original rom because I flash it without doing the backup but I'm sure I can get it later when someone post it on the web. Additionally, I have tried again to flach MCR U8230 1.7 with fastboot boot.img. The touchscreen work again, I can make phone call etc but unable to install any app due to "insufficient space". I suspect this is the mismatch of boot.img & rom. I suspect Huawei has made some hardware improvement to U8220 recently and causing MCR unable to run on it. Within this two months, Huawei has signed up PCCW in Hong Kong to launch U8220 as U-Android and CHT in Taiwan as CHT8000. I have checked my package and find that further upgrade of my phone need to be download from a website in Taiwan instead of HK. Thus I believe this lot of U8220 disturbuted recently in Southeast Asia is a little bit different form the T-mobile pulse (using U8230 rom on U8220 model and run perfectly). Now my only concern is how to run app to sd, I have tried to install busybox etc but unable to find system/sd when using busybox d -h. I' m all thumb in programming if anyone can teach me how to deal with it will be great. Please let me know if you need me to test anyting of this rom on my phone. Cheers.

Guest brack Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I tried to install it, it works fine but when I install Titanium Backup to restore some of my apps It complained that there is no root privileges... What is wrong? well, by the speed and feel it looks exactly like MCR u8230 vanilla style, so I might relate to this one as a light version of that rom.

Just put Sweden one on my tmobile pulse its got rid of the tmobile start up screen and its booted up fine (still 1.5 like you said) *#*#2846579#*#* engineer mode (have we always had this ?) tried the touchscreen firmware upgrade but says version to early got new mobile network settings option -Enable always-on mobile New notepad icon Has documents to go but no servo search or roadsync in engineer settings there is one called Qualcomm background open setting but it needs a password, any ideas?

Hmmm, no servo search would be a big plus for me - never used it but frequently see it spooling away in the background eating battery or Force Closing on me! Don't use roadsync either.

Guest John Hamelink Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Just put Sweden one on my tmobile pulse its got rid of the tmobile start up screen and its booted up fine (still 1.5 like you said) *#*#2846579#*#* engineer mode (have we always had this ?) This works on MCR 1.8 Beta. tried the touchscreen firmware upgrade but says version to early Same in MCR got new mobile network settings option -Enable always-on mobile That is new as far as i can tell New notepad icon Has documents to go but no servo search or roadsync Great news! I always thought servo was complete junkware and I had no use for roadsync (although I appreciate many business folks out there have no choice but to use outlook) in engineer settings there is one called Qualcomm background open setting but it needs a password, any ideas? Same here in MCR, I wonder what that option does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andreass4 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 @Paul... Can you include app2sd in this rom? Cause the Modaco Customrom doesnt work on my U8230. I tried some howtos but none worked for me... Maybe you can explain it and i can do it myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Basher52 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Now got a healthy rom downloaded, after the first was wrong. there are one .app file i can open atm, got to wait for McSpoon or someone else to guide me this script. the two other files, included in the folder you download are: a userdata.hwcfg, a zero byte file witjout a ckecksum and a updateguide.txt this guides contains just these 4 sentences: 1:Copy dload to SD card 2:Switch off the hanset ,then press "Volume Control Upper Key +End Key+ Power Key" 3:Showing successful 4:Remove battery one second ,then power on ,waiting till the os start up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Don't install the updata.app file directly as it might not be possible to undo that process. You could become stuck with Chinese firmware. It's a lot safer to use the Perl script to unpack it and extract just the Android boot and system images, although you do need to have Perl installed to do that. I might download the file later and find out what is in it. But all indications are this is just a Chinese version of Android 1.5 I wasn't aware that HuaweiDevice.com has a separate download area for China. Interesting.

Guest ajieboy Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 As brought to my attention by robot1000... there's a new U8230 ROM on HuaweiDevice.com, dated 2010-02-01 and named U8230V100R001C00B250. Hi Paul. do you still have original huawei ROM : U8230V100R001C00B250 ? i check in the huaweidevice.com, but now there's no U8230V100R001C00B250. it looks like they have removed the ROM. (2 week ago i checked the web site, and ROM still there, but cannot download coz always interrupted in the middle of download) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
