Update failed - not able to flash with any UPDATA.APP

[Guest il_cholo]

I´m having an issue when I try to flash my 8220-6 with any UPDATA.APP, I follow the steps to update the OS from dload on SD but when the phone

reboots to start flashing it shows the huawei image and after a minute it continues to boot the old OS like the flashing part is being skiped.

this isssue happens with any UPDATA.APP even to the one of my carrier

I put the phone into bootloader menu (the blue screen with vol down + end + turn on) to check the information and for me shows:

USB FastBoot: V0.5

Machine ID: 1007000 v0

Build Date: Dec 18 2009, 01:23:43


Serial Number: UNKNOWN

I compared it with another phone that another person got from the same carrier that I did (movistar argentina) and shows:

USB FastBoot: V0.5

Machine ID: 1007000 v0

Build Date: Apr 19 2010, 10:20:03

MSM Id: 16

MSM Version: 2.0

Modem Build Id: 76XXC-6383-SDCBALYM

Serial Number: UNKNOWN

ptn 0 name='boot' start=304 len=20

ptn 1 name='system' start=324 len=880

ptn 2 name='userdata' start=1204 len=642

ptn 3 name='cache' start=1846 len=160

ptn 4 name='recovery' start=2006 len=38

ptn 5 name='misc' start=2044 len=4

It seems that mine has something wrong?

I tried also with vol up + end + turn on and says update failed every time.

at this point I´m only able to update using a zip file using amon ra or restores of nandroid.

maybe someone has any clue of what is going on and enlight me.

any help will be appreciated.

do you have a dload folder in your SD card? with the UPDATA.APP file in it? the folder must be on the root of the SD

you can't flash any UPDATA.APP to your device... what file are you trying to flash? i'm from chile, i also have the u8220-6

Hi andy, yes I do have the dload folder on the root of my SD, any rom I tried it keeps failing even the original from movistar argentina which is on Huawei´s site as I said.

could you tell me what your phone shows on blue screen? I want to compare with mine.

PS: good luck for today´s match :lol:

The blue screen is fast boot, the contents of that shouldn't matter as it doesn't affect the update screen.

Please post the content of the log file in the dload directory.

Thanks for your reply, I don´t get any log in there, my SD card is an 8gb with only one partition using FAT32, cache is 0 and ext2 is 0.

I partitioned it using among ra utility.

I managed to get another 2gb memory and copied dload to root and got update failed with a log this time

Just for future reference, each attempt of mine to use any update was always different in what happened. So if you don't first succeed, try again.

Some of the "tricks" I tried included:

• Reformatting the SD card
  
• Deleting and re-copying the /dload folder
  
• Using the "downgrade" to get back to the basic 1.5 firmware, and then doing the update I really wanted.
  
• When an update failed and the phone was still able to boot, wiping again.
  
• Lather, rinse, repeat (ok, this one was a joke)
  

Disclaimer: I don't have a 8220-6.

Did you find anything about that OEMSBL, cause I have u8220-6 with the same problem. After official update I found in huawei site, nothing works
