G300 constant huawei cycle - bricked

[Guest mike.mango]

I was just in the final stages of the upgrade to the officail ICS and my phone decided to started the following cycle , i turn the phone on and after 2 seconds it has the huawei splash log which lasts about 1 second and then it turns off for 1 second and then repeats continually.

I have tried to remove the battery , the sim the sd card , power with vol , power with volume down but nothing seems to stop it.

Do i now have a genuine brick for a phone - any help really appreciated !!!

Edit: Sorry you've tried the volume options. Just one thing Are you holding the volume key long enough? That's got me before. Have you tried it with both up and down held along with power?

yes , definately holding long enough , if i didnt then it would boot normally ( i think) , it looks completely ruined .

[Guest Davidoff59]

power on with volume up and down pressed and it should start installing again

[Guest Davidoff59]

Hold both up and down volume buttons together.

A battery pull and 10 second wait before doing it to reset the phone if it doesn't work on first attempt.

So long as you still have update. app in dload folder on SD card, it should work

Try to repeat the ICS installation process all over again.

[Guest mike.mango]

sadly no way to get anything from it - even when connected to the pc , is there no master reset button !!!!

anyone had anything similar

cheers

[Guest mike.mango]

it even does this when there is no battery and then i plug it in via usb , on huawei log for 1 second then off , then log then off , cannot work this out

[Guest Davidoff59]

Can you get into either stock recovery or bootloader mode?

try this

[Guest Davidoff59]

Confirm that power on and volume up,

Power on and. volume down

Power on with volume + and -

None of these work?

If none of these work then I think its game over

Ive got the same problem, But if i press Volume up/down and power on, it will load update.app SD but fails around 30% is this dead?

Was trying to load B927 ICS, think its game over? if i had an image that would fully load,

Even tried to load the 'Middle UPDATE.APP (1Kb) from B927, but that stops loading at around 70%.

Any idea's can post the log file off the SD if that helps!

Sorry if that makes no sense, im a newbie-ish..

Thanks in advance....

u8815 middle update . zip should be 777K are you sure its not a corrupt download and updata.app shows as 2kb in mine

[Guest animal666]

Yep, its 2K middle file, will try downloading a few other roms see if one doesnt fail to load? otherwise i think its a brick?

[Guest animal666]

Manchester, Have Downloaded B926 ICS chinese version and im past 50% update on screen, fingers crossed.....

[Guest animal666]

Downloaded B926 Rom and loaded to SD

Powered up with Vol up/own Pressed,

Update loaded 100%

phone now working!

gotta get to B927 on there now..

or maybe be the nerve racking downgrade?

if anyone has the same problem maybe this'll help?

Thanks,,,

[Guest mike.mango]

i think its official = the phone is deceased , i have spoken to tech support from where i bought it and they have confirmed it appears to be manufactures failure , hopefully should be a direct replacement and some very very careful upgrading rooting etc etc , sadly i need to pay for another unlocking code.

result - please be careful out there and follow all those instructions to the letter. good luck

[Guest Gary_J_Wright]

only had failure on unpacking , so hopefully if it says installing it should be ok

you did get text / screen saying unpacking > pink bar > installing text> pink bar
