ugurr, I don't really understand what you are saying in your post.

Are you saying you have applied one of the ROMs and you are now stuck at the T-Mobile/Huawei screen ? - Android does not load ?

If so pull out your battery, download Amon RAs Recovery image (sticky in forum) and extract to your PC.

Now put in your battery and turn on your phone while holding Vol- and Red (Call Reject) you should boot to bootloader (Blue screen)

Plug in your USB cable to your PC and run fastboot (I will assume your using Windows)

Open a cmd window and change directory to where you extracted the AmonRA recovery image, now run;

fastboot boot recovery_RA_pulse.1.5.2.img (check this file name as I don't have the archive on my PC)

You should now boot to recovery image where you can re-flash another ROM to your phone.

after I installed t-mobile pulse; I can not upload any originally firmware.

example U8230V100R001C00B250 U8230 (Normal) Normal 2010-02-01 and U8230 HUAWEI U8230 V100R001C101B219S P02 (France BYTEL) France had BYTEL error update failed

You have applied a tmobile phone to a phone which isn't tmobile. This has made changes that your proper operator doesn't expect so their update doesn't work. The best you can hope for is that your operator will release a full update at some point which will overwrite the changes made by the tmobile update. In the meantime, you could possibly apply the MCR U8230 vanilla ROM available on this forum, hopefully that might still work with your phone.

It has HOST in the name of the file which means it's not a ROM but Software

So do you think it will connect to an ad-hoc AP?

doing a simple 'insmod ar6000.ko' doesn't let iwconfig change the wifi mode...

# ./iwconfig eth0 commit

./iwconfig eth0 commit

Error for wireless request "Commit changes" (8B00) :

	SET failed on device eth0; Operation not supported on transport endpoint.

and if I 'insmod ar6000.ko work_mode=2' then the phone reboots when I try to ./iwconfig

Well the bottom bar is exactly the same as the U8230 photo which also has live wallpaper running which is a 2.0 only feature?

Huawei officially confirm that Android 2.1 will - before May!!!

There are another 2 new files on the Huawei site.

U8220 HD1U822M29V100R001C125B249SP01(Sweden H3H)

http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/down..._Sweden_H3H.zip

U8230 HD1U822M06V100R001C00B250(Normal)

http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/down...B250_Normal.zip

I've no idea what these are.

Perhaps the Swedish one is the ROM seen in those pictures?

The other one has the same ID as the previous one in this thread (U8230V100R001C00B250) but why does it start with HD1U822M06?

It's probably slow due to us all downloading it!! Far Eastern sites are generally very slow.

Seems strange that Huawei have quoted March/April for Android 2 when it seems that they have already released to an operator!
