Flashing U8150 rom

[Guest jertocvil]

Hello, I read in another forum that the new U8150 and the U8110 have the same hardware, so I downloaded a Froyo ROM from the official page.

Can I flash it without risks? Or I can break the phone doing it? I don't know how this update works (for example, if it flashes an incompatible bootloader, so the phone won't boot anymore).

Thanks.

[Guest Gjole86]

holy **** the boot versions file inside updata.app is ........ surprising .......

it contains this line

U8110V100R001C85B101_BOOT

upgradable versions contain

U8110V100R001C85B101

U8100V100R001C109B101

i rly hope this means u8110 and u8100 actualy can run froyo with little modifications.

but i do lol what are the comards to start it?

[Guest rickywyatt]

ok i extrcted the img files now how do i make a zip from them?

[Guest jertocvil]

How have you done it?

[Guest rickywyatt]

what i mean is iv extracted the update.app and no i got boot.img,recovery.img,system.img,userdata.img now how do i make a update.zip from them?

[Guest kallt_kaffe]

Now, this is very interesting. I'll have a go at getting it to run on an U8100.

If you're feeling brave you could try flashing the boot.img and system.img directly using fastboot. Make sure you have a backup first. (And don't blame me if it goes wrong, I don't have a Pulse Mini so I've no idea how hackable/resilient it is to this stuff.)

That would be simpler.

• Alternatively if you wish to create an update.zip the process is complicated but essentially it goes something like this:
  
• unyaffs the system image (best to do it as superuser to preserve userIDs)
  
• Now you have an unpacked system image so you can make any modifications you like.
  
• Then run the make-update-script (which can be found in the Android AOSP code) to repack it as an update.zip
  
• Delete all of the symbolic links and construct a /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
  
• Finally sign it. (google testsign.jar)
  
• ...I probably missed out a few things...
  

[Guest Jerry786]

Well well.. whats going on here? Finally a breakthrough for the Pulse Mini? I hope so!

[Guest jertocvil]

I've flashed the rom through fastboot and it booted:

-DATA CONNECTION/PHONE: Works

-SOUND:

SPEAKER

:

Doesn't work

HEADPHONES

:

Works

-CAMERA: Works (Camera button doesn't work)

-WIFI: Doesn't work

Sometimes the phone displays that the data connection isn't active but it is and works.
