Root Please tell me it's not bricked....

I apparently flashed a bad ROM or somthing, But then I tried the recover keys. And It worked into CWR 3.0.0.4 Then It was hooked up to the PC so I tried to update it really quick to CWR 3.0.2.4 Then It said it did it successfully then restarted and then I was stuck on Boot Screen The white "Huawei" Screen Then it just stays there. The lights come on and everything, Then I tried to get back into Recovery mode, And it woulent do it So I kept trying and trying then It said "Firmware Update" "1/2" "Update Failed!" Then freezes on that screen. Then I tried to get into recovery a few more times after that, And it still showed that screen "Updated Failed" But now It won't even show that, Won't boot into recovery or anything I'm doing (Power+VolDown+GreenButton) Even tried different ones still locks up at the "Huawei" Screen. I even tried loading Some update.zip files to the Root of my SD Card. And tried loading into Recovery...Tried every variation of that..So I'm really out of ideas...Even took the battery out for 5-10 min then tried. Etc. Still won't get past that White Huawei screen...If anyone has any other ideas on what I can do please share...And by the way, It won't show up on Android Commander or on the PC at all And I have to take the battery out for the screen to stop. So it just hangs at that screen, It won't reboot or anything If I press the power button long enough it will but it doesn't reboot on its own. Just trying to give as much info as possible. :/
 
"Soft bricked" ;)


Try fastbooting the Ascends ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5.

1. Power off your phone
2. Hold down the power button + vol down button + red button for about 6-10 sec. It'll freeze on the Huawei Logo then connect it to your computer and extract and open the 3.0.0.5 zip you downloaded then run these files

adb-windows

fastboot-windows

and install-recovery-windows

And your phone should reboot and then you should be able to reboot into recovery.
(Theres also file to run if you have a linux or mac also)

Thanks for the reply, I tried that and now it took me to the screen "Firmware update Step 1/2" "Unpacking" "Update Failed" with the green and red buttons flashing. Plus I didn't restart on its own after running the progs. :/
 
Youre doing the wrong button combo. Youre doing a hard reset. If the keys are the same on the 835 as the Ascend as far as CWR its the send key + volume up and tap the power
 
Sorry I'm a noob when it comes to this phone stuff, Could you tell me what commands I need to run with adb-windows and fastboot-windows please? I don't want to break it more lol. There is alottt of options. :/
 
Just do what I said in my first comment. Just double click these 3 and a black box will pop up and go away. and your phone should reboot. Then once rebooted reboot into clockwork recovery


If your computer runs Windows.
adb-windows

fastboot-windows

install-recovery-windows


If your comp is Linux these 3
adb-linux

fastboot-linux

install-recovery-linux.sh


If your comp is a Mac
adb-mac

fastboot-mac

install-recovery-mac.sh
 
Okay I did that, And I ran the .bat in cmd so I can see the output and make sure its working, It said

sending 'recovery' <3636 KB> ... OKAY

writing 'recovery' ... OKAY

Then thats it, Phone stays on, And won't reboot.
 
Oh ahaha You need to pull the battery out. (Forgot it doesnt reboot from fastboot) then just leave it out for about 5-10 seconds and put it back in and reboot into recovery
