ok, here's the thing-i had rooted using gingerbreak,, bought root explorer, etc, then accidently tried to flash this [Huawei Ideos C8150 / U8150][General Development][Update 01-04-2011] - xda-developers
using cwm,-(going thru ideos u8150 thingy) i backed up, tried to flash then recover since the aforementioned rom made the huawei logo stay on for like 30 min b4 i pulled the batt.
that said wen i tried to recover, i got back a md5 mismatch-:eek:
luckily i had an ultrajack backup made the day b4, but since im nu2moding, it took me a while to guess that i should re-fastboot UJ and use the nandroid from there. that made the fon work, BUT now every time i try to flash ANY rom, including the stock one posted elsewhere on here, i get "cant find update script".
:eek:
did i make a BIG boo boo or is it repairable?

1. as I said before in the M835 Guide, flashing any big mod like CM7 or similiar shouldn't be installed right away as I tested a couple myself (CM7 and FusionIDEOS 2.7.4) and both gave me 1 or more issues

2. I also prefer UJ over CWM because of the MD5 Mismatch nonsense with CWM, so I'm glad that you rescued your phone from almost-bricking

3. Did you try flashing again with UJ or CWM?

I flashed with uj but didn't try with cwm.
can that be y I can't even flash the stock rom posted in this forum?
I even tried to flash a ideos8150 w/multitouch rom n still the " can't find update script" appears n that's the main thing that has me worried/concerned
You shouldn't worry, Aftermarket ROMs I believe are not that compatible with the M835 yet, the only things I have managed to install successfully was either backups I made with UJ or Boot Screens (i.e. the ones I use with the tutorial I written earlier) :)

really? I got stuck in a boot loop(it would boot up past the "hello, hello, hello" part of the metro pcs boot screen, and then restart completely and do it all over again), and when I did this, it worked perfectly...

it should start up with the factory reset screen

(btw, I was reading that article, and saw that sometimes there are still "ghosts" in the machine... when you do a factory reset, does this happen? I'd like to factory reset my phone sometime and not have little gremlins running around..)
