Root Brick

[wthorjr]

I am needing help again. Last night I was using my phone and than it went into reboot. Then it would just stay at the 1.1.1 android start up screen and would stop then start again. I tried to go into the recovery and fix it but I think I might have just made it worse and now I think it might be done for. The dalvik was on the sd and im not sure if the sd died or what happen. Can you all help me? Or do I just need to get a new phone?

Cricket Huawei Ascend M860 Root 1.1.1

Need more info... But from what it sounds like, I would just do stock recovery and start from scratch. This phone is pretty much unbrickable, so I doubt it's done for. Are you on MetroPCS or Cricket?

 

[wthorjr]

I am on cricket. Would I be able to just download again the 1.1.1 or the cm7. Would that work to load it back up? Plus like I said the dalvic was on my SD card and do not know if it is still there.

 

[Can0dope]

I'm still confused as to what exactly your problem is. What were you doing when it went into bootloop? And what do you me "1.1.1"? And what did you do in recovery originally that makes you think you made it worse?

me 2 lol

The 1.1.1 is the stock OS cant remember what it is called other than that. Its the one with a black and green screen. I was going through the calender when it just went into reboot loop. I then went into the system and tried to clear the cache and dalvic to see if that would get rid of what was causing the error. But now it just goes to the Huawei screen and that is it. I can still get into the system using power volume up and the phone button. If that helps lol.

 

[wthorjr]

All though the dalvic was on my SD would I be able to format the SD so it will run on my comp and then put cm7 on it then stick into the phone and load that?

 

[Can0dope]

OK... The stock OS for the Ascend is Android 2.1 (Eclair). And what you mean by accessing the system is that you can get into Recovery... Now, what are your options in Recovery? Is it stock recovery or CWM Recovery? I have no idea why using calendar would cause a bootloop... But let's see if we can solve this...

 

[wthorjr]

CWM and I had flashed it to 1.1.1. When I did it I had a choice from Tokenpoke to do cm6, cm7, or the (can not remember name lol) 1.1.1.

 

[wthorjr]

I just found what OS I had was. icarusmod-1.1

 

[Can0dope]

If you have a backup, you should just be able to restore in CWM. If not, you can just flash whatever ROM you want in CWM. I would recommend starting with fresh downloads just to be safe. I suggest CM7 0913 build, simply because it's the latest and greatest, and has DT'sA2SD built in, as well as the GUI. And make sure you get the correct gapps too.

Ok I will do the cm7 route where can I find it? Do you have a link and my comp wont read my SD with out format, should I format it?

Wrong key combo bud if its taking you to the green android update screen

Send key (all the way to the left) volume up and tap the power.

Also delteing your cache and dalvik wouldnt cause it to stick on the Huawei screen. You can delete dalvik and cache anytime you want it will just rebuild on reboot. (It actually frees up space when you do do it)

Oh and PS trust me the Ascend is unbrickable. I tried to brick it numerous ways more then once and it would never die.

if your sd card will not read by pulling down the notification bar and tap USB, than yes somehow your sd card got corrupted, and for cm7 make sure you partition your sd card in recovery to whatever i recommend 512 and swap is 32... CM7.2-Ascend-09122011-signed.zip , gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

 

[wthorjr]

O'k so just to make sure I am doing this right. After I down load the cm7 and the gaps I just transfer them to my SD right (do not extract in comp)? Then I put the SD into my phone and go into the CWM and extract there right?

This link is an amazing resource for the Ascend. Also you might check out the Ultimate Ascend Customization Guide

No dont extract at all. Leave them both zipped. But yes put them on the root of your sd card reboot into recovery wipe and format every (format every EXCEPT the sd card) and then flash CM7 and then the Gapps then run fix permissions in "advance" and reboot.

Also you need the 3.0.0.5 or higher recovery. 3.0.0.5 can be found in rom manager
