pink screen when attempting to force update?

[Guest cryptoncore]

Trying to do official huawei b952, its on external sd card, not working help please.

[Guest plewis1981]

You need to place the dload folder on the root of SD card so the path ends somting like this

.../sdcard1/dload/update.app

[Guest cryptoncore]

it is, but it's not working? pink screen.

[Guest Rico_89]

it is, but it's not working? pink screen.

Are you holding down both volume buttons and then powering up?

If so then try to download the Update.app again, maybe it got corrupted.

Also can you boot into anything, or you now stuck on the pink screen?

Try holding down volume down and press and hold power button. I was getting pink screen when I pressed both volume buttons.

[Guest cryptoncore]

Thats not doing anything im afraid.

Are you on gingerbread right now?

Can you try another Micro SD card?

There are other options like flashing the ICS baseband in CWM and then flashing ICS to upgrade etc

Put it on the internal SD (The 2GB built in one) and try again. That might fix your issue.

I am on Infusion b952 b06/7(final) right now. and I will try internal and post back.

[Guest cryptoncore]

still a damn pink screen on internal 2GB memory, tried with 2 copies of the download.

maybe you have to be on stock before the update will work ?

[Guest cryptoncore]

I already tried on Stock Repack B952, unless you can provide a link to an older B9XX update repack?

[Guest oldfella]
