Hello,
I have probably bricked my Huawei Vision by rewriting boot image.
However, I can connect* it to PC and it sees my phone as "Huawei Handset" (same with Windows and Linux). But Windows misses its drivers (non-bricked phone worked); Linux seems to work. No OS can connect to it using default (downloaded) ADB, nor Fastboot, nor SoftwareUpdateTool.
Its PCI ID is 12d1:c002.
How could I reflash it? I would prefer the ways without disassembling the phone.
Thanks
----How to boot the phone, so you can connect it to PC:
1. turn off my phone completely (vol up + power for 10 seconds - release power for a seconds and repeat it once again)
2. prepare USB cable, so you can connect it in few seconds
3. hold vol down + power and after ~1s, connect USB cable (still hold vol down)
4. when Huawei logo appears, release both buttons - your phone is connected now

The thread called 'Problem with huawei vision' still seems to be active. You may want to try asking your question over there.
Huawei (u8850) unbricked
I just wanted to relate my experiences in de-bricking this U8850 phone.
I installed 'Apps_2.6.35.7-perf+root+CWM_recovery 5.0.2.8' (firmware.nb0) using SUT to get CWM, and then installed Danile's 4.1.2
Good as far as it goes, but i could not for the life of me reproduce his kernel (my kernels are always unreliable), so after many days of playing, i decided to take the phone back to stock to see if i could reproduce the huawei stock kernel as a base to work on.
The problem was, how do you revert to stock; the phone was no longer recognised by SUT?
So I took a stock .nbo file and extracted the content (some java extractor found with google) in the hope that I could create a CWM flashable zip of the stock firmware.. a bit of research later, and i thought i had got the gist, put boot.img and system.img into a zip with a modified script file, and voila... a bricked phone.
At this point, i had CWM, but if the phone booted, it showed a flash of blue screen (I didn't know these ran windows ), and back to huawei logo. Also I think i had to dismantle to disconnect battery to run CWM, as it's not available just on the volume-up-power restart.
So then I did more research, and came across QPST, Qualcom's tools. It seemed this should know something about the files i had extracted. I could not correlate everything in the extracted fileset with what QPST seemed to expect, but the first challenge was to get QPST and the phone talking. using various drivers, QPST would sometimes see it, sometimes not, but nothing good seemed to be coming from it. I returned to trying to get SUT to work on my brick; again, with some drivers it would connect, but a flash always resulted in Error 4000 - DEVICE_NOT_CONFIGURED.
Then I read somewhere that someone had found a driver change made SUT work, so i investigated drivers more.
What I found was that if i ran up CWM, I got two Huawei devices in XP for which I could not find drivers.
The devices showed up as VID_12D1&PID_1022&MI_00 and VID_12D1&PID_1022&MI_01.
I took the Huawei USB drivers folder, and copied the qcser.inf then changed entries under [QcomSerialPort] to match my VID/PID values.
(the two that had matching MI_ values).
On driver update, I had a serial port, plus something I'd not seen before - a USB storage device which contained the phone's partitions!!!
This certainly seemed promising... so into SUT again, same error 4000...
So the I tried QPST; and yes, it could see the phone. Scared to do anything to brick it further, I thought, ok, try some memory diagnostics.
On running the 'Memory Debug' tool, as soon as I tried to get a list, QPST said 'this phones in diagnostic mode, it must be in download mode to do memory diagnostics', but even better 'Do you want to set it into download mode now?'!!!!!
Yeah! click the button, and I see a screen I've only seen once before (and i don't know why last time), black, with a line added every few seconds... which from all my reading I know is a good sign.
OK, then I closed all QPST apps, and ran SUT.
This time, the firmware flashed no problem. Was a bit worried as boot time is long (but it was effectively 'first ever' boot for the phone).
I hope this helps someone else with this or another Qualcom based phone.
Basic lesson is:
If you see Error 4000, it may be that the phone is in diagnostic mode rather than download mode.
If you don't have drivers, or don't have the right drivers, check you VID and PID, and try putting them into the .inf file
QPST may have a simple use after all... to force a phone into download mode when SUT fails.

it's actually not difficult to remove the battery...
but i read somewhere the 'volume-up + power for five seconds' will hard restart, but re-press power immediately will then turn it off (not tested myself; the back of mine is already off at the moment.)
Anyone here interested in developing a 3.x kernel? seems other phones with msm8255 have successfully got one...
u8850 power off

now i have tried it, and no success.
However, what i have found to work - if your non-boot is actually booting the kernel, but failing to initialise the phone, then you can still use adb with it... I ran adb shell, and then used 'poweroff' to power off my phone, which then meant i could boot into CWM recovery....
i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEME? PLEASE CAN U HELP ME TO SOLVE IT BY GIVING ME DETAILS.
it is working, thank you bro

HOLY GOD! F**K ME!!! I finally did it! THANKS A LOT, BRO! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!
Hy! i dont know if my phone is completely bricked or not, i must say in the start. ill say what it happened today with it.
I decided to root my phone,i did it by flashing an update.zip file in recovery mode. This worked good, no problems.
After, i wanted to install cyanogenmod. i prepared 3 files of which i read i need. : -ClockWorkMod_Recovery_6.0.3.0 ,CM7-A5 ( the cyanogenmod version) and gaaps.
I entered the recovery mode, and i installed cwm, and made a backup of the system. after that, for no reason i could remember, i didnt continue installing CM7-A5,but i turned on the phone. everything worked, and looked ok. but after, i decided to finish the installation. But when i tryied to enter the recovery mode, i couldnt anymore. and it doesnt start in any way. The Pc is not recognizing it when its connected via usb. (only makes the sound that something is connected, but the filesystem isn't mounted and "adb" and "fastboot" from sdk android does not recognize it).
Now, i press the power button and it freezes at the android logo. Is there any thing i could do ?
Go to recovery?

I'm at the same situation, after a mistake in a TCT Bootloader: i've formatted Misc and more partitions.. and now i'm only with a android logo.
The PC recognize a "Broadcom USB wireless modem" when i connect usb and press contemporary volume-.
Recovery not start (android logo) end download mode normally procedure (volume- and power) not working.
I'd like to test to reflash recovery by Recovery Installer By Sls13 v 2.0! but the driver not run with fastboot mode.. i've tried to install ADB Sdk suite and Java Sdk.. i've the usb-driver original, but my system (win7 32bit) make identification of Smart2 as "Broadcom USB wireless modem"..
i accidentally erased boot and bootloader.nor download mode nor recovery work and my pc recognize it like Broadcom USB wireless modem.Any solution?
Hello. First of all it´s my first post. I really don´t know how to do this. But my problem is that I´ve tried to unlock the Bootloader by a aboot.img and aboot4.img files and later flash the TWRP Recovery and the Resurrection Remix ROM. When I tried to unlock the bootloader the phone turned off and it not turning back on with any method. I tried the Download Mode, the Hard Reset mode and the Fastboot mode. Nothing works. I read a little bit I found that the LG Mobile Support Tool will help me, but the phone it´s just dead and the tool don´t detect the phone. I tried to reboot it by adb way but dosn´t recognize the device. I really don´t know what to do. I have the LG Flash Tool and the KDZ but I can´t use it cause the phone don´t turn on. Why can I do?
Thanks to who can help me and Sorry for my bad english too.
I'm having the same problem, and I've tried everything, but not yet found a solution. Not to mention the download so that did not work anymore, the phone did not care. So I was doing some key combinations to see if something would happen, I removed the battery, and held the volume button - and connected the USB cable, then pressed several times quickly the power button and volume - while, until it appeared in Windows : Installing device driver, but recognized as a webcam, mouse and keyboard, which serves no purpose.
Hi,
I've got a Nubia N1 Lite (NX597J) to mess around with, and wanted to try modifying the ROM. I can enter developer mode and allow bootloader unlocking, adb also works. What I can't do is use USB while booting, or in the recovery menu. No fastboot or sending ROM images via adb to the recovery software. The phone doesn't connect to the computer at all (I'm using Linux, it should at least show up in dmesg). Recovery log says
Code:
musb_pullup 2498: no USB cable, don't need to turn on USB
A couple times, even though the cable is connected and works in Android proper. I've tried USB2 and 3 ports, on a hub and directly on the motherboard. It shows up as 0e8d:2000 MediaTek preloader when turned off and, very briefly, as 0e8d:2008 when booting into recovery.
Am I missing something, or is the recovery image just broken on this phone? I've tried both the EU and US firmware, which is a bit more recent.
Do I need some tool that interacts with the preloader, maybe? I have found this guy who's been messing with a phone that has the same SoC.
Have you managed to get it into recovery mode? I just get a dead android picture :/
I've accidentally broken it by flashing the US ROM but my phone is the EU version. Boots up okay but has lost the IMEI and once the screen turns off won't turn on again - unless I reboot it.
Have so far failed to re-flash with the correct EU ROM - it just fails half-way through.
No, and I'm in the same situation with the firmware.
