This is an FAQ for the Huawei Ideos as there have been many questions on how to do the same things. Hopefully this should help. There are other FAQs but this one tries to compile as many as it can into one FAQ.
Feel free to reply to this if there are any questions or if you want me to make any additions. The FAQ won't be complete to begin with but I will add as I get time.
One thing I will say is that I WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBITY IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE. I AM PROVIDING THE INFORMATION AND WILL TRY TO HELP YOU IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS BUT I CAN'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY
1. How to root the IDEOS
This can be done quite simply by adapting what quail wrote:
There is a couple away you can go about gaining root access with this phone I have tested all 3 ways but only had success with 2 of them.
a) You can download 'z4root' from here (WORKS)
b) Search the XDA forums for 'SuperOneClick' which requires mono to work on Linux. I have read people that have had success with 'SuperOneClick' but that was not the case for me. (HAVEN'T CHECKED)
c) My preferred method: (HAVEN'T CHECKED)
Prerequisite:
knowledge of Linux and Terminal
knowledge of ADB (guide available in forums)
I did all this using Debian (testing) 64bit, Android SDK.
Creating correct permissions to access the phone via USB:
i) create
Code:
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
ii) in the file put
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"
iii) then
Code:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
iv) restart udev or reboot
Downloading and/or Installing required software:
1) Downloading and installing the android-sdk from: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2) Downloading and extracting 'SuperOneClick' (you will only need these 5 files: rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk)
3) Copy rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk into the platform-tools directory of android-sdk. Put phone in debug mode.
4) From a terminal (command line) change to the android/platform-tools directory and carefully do these steps.
Check to see if adb can see your phone properly:
Code:
./adb devices
You should see the serial number of you device, if you see bunch of '?' you have done something wrong.
Now for the fun part rooting the phone: <= no phun intended hehe
Code:
./adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
Code:
./adb shell
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
Code:
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage
Code:
./rageagainstthecage
5) Now wait until you get kicked out from adb before you do the following:
Code:
./adb shell
If everything worked now you should see a "#" instead of the "$" you saw previously in the adb shell which means you shouldn't get "permission denied" in the following steps:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mdtblock4 /system
Code:
exit
Code:
./adb push su /system/bin/su
Code:
./adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
Code:
./adb push sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3
Code:
./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
Code:
./adb shell
Code:
cd /system/bin
Code:
chmod 4755 su
Code:
chmod 4755 busybox
Code:
chmod 4755 sqlite3
Code:
./adb reboot
Now you should be able to use apps like 'Cache Cleaner NG', 'Root Explorer', 'SetCPU' etc that require root access to work correctly.
Enjoy
2. How to flash the Ultrakiller Recovery Image
Now this has been covered many times but there have been a lot of problems with the BSOD on the IDEOS. A few days ago Ultrakiller came up with a solution that works regardless of the LCD type. Now this was distributed as an IMG file so many people were confused so here is a link to one with everything you need included. All I did was remove the amon'ra image and copied the Ultrakiller recovery IMG to the folder and edited the scripts to point to the new file.
After you download the file:
* Put your device in bootloader mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'Volume Down' and 'End (Red)' keys (Yes, bootloader is just the IDEOS logo) WHILE YOUR DEVICE IS PLUGGED IN
* WINDOWS - double click 'install-recovery-windows.bat'
* MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-mac.sh' followed by './install-recovery-mac.sh'
* LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-linux.sh' followed by './install-recovery-linux.sh'
See Q3 if you have Windows and the prompt hangs on "Waiting for Device"
3. How to solve problems with drivers on Windows in bootloader mode?
1. Unplug your phone
2. Download and install PDANet from here - at the end of the setup it will tell you to plug in your phone - do that
3. Put the phone into bootloader (See Q2 above)
4. Go to device manager and right click on "Android 1.0" and click "Update drivers"
5. Click "No, not this time" and Next
6. When it asks you where to look for drivers point it to PDANet's install location
7. Hopefully it should find the driver and prompt you to install it - it will take some time
8. You can now access your device in bootloader!
Thanks to the following people:
Quail for the base of the guide and the ROM I'm using - it's amazing BTW
Ultrakiller for the recovery image
Changelog:
21/01/2010: Initial writeup

i unfortunately deleted a system app and upon restarting my phone it wont boot.....it keeps hanging at the startup and reboots.. help me how to system restore...
Hi - the Ultrakiller recovery IMG in the ZIP from the Link above is "Ultrakiller.img.img". Dunno if it didnt work cause of this - sry didnt test, just downloaded new Ultrakillers "UltraJack-Recovery_v4.6.2.img", saved into that folder and changed the .bat to "fastboot-windows.exe flash recovery UltraJack-Recovery_v4.6.2.img" and it worked for me Even superuser.apk didnt work for usb-root but z4root does it perfect and DroidExplorer showing files now .
Thanks so far to all investing their time here
P.S.: the HUAWEI background of Ultrakillers recovery is very delicious
General guide to Flash ROM
Can you please provide a detailed guide for flashing Huawei Ideos. Because it is super guide. So it must contain this topic also.
I want to flash official ROM on following link:

Dear have u find out the solution of this problem?? COZ im also suffering from this if u find it then plz tell me [email protected]
I have downloaded a rom from xda-developers wiki from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Huawei_U8150_IDEOS
then updated my device software by going in to update mode(press vol up + end key + power button) .
This step returned me my original recovery.
But I am not going to recommend it bcoz i am facing problems like my cd drive which is automatically displayed has become inaccessible.
I am having problem to copy files to sd card.
My upgrade mode is not working now.
all these things were working immediately after the above mentioned process but I am now stuck with these things.
I think it is because i have flashed lower version number of rom on phone.
If you want to recover recovery mode only then I have successfully flashed UltraJack-Recovery 5.2.1 from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860189&page=24
Inform about your progress
Thanx. Very useful
Hi guys. I am in a lot of trouble with my ideos.
Tried installing a custom ROm using ROM manager and it failed, although the original ROM is still there and its booting up and working perfectly.
However, when i try to boot into recovery, only the lit blackscreen shows.
I have tried everything from running ULTRAjack recovery on windows(which only shows 'waiting for device' on cmd, with the pdanet drivers installed) to ubuntu(which shows 'waiting for device' on Amon-ra recovery and permission denied on ULTRAjack).
Could it be i didnt root the device properly since i used z4 root?
Any more ideas?
900/2100 or 850/1700/1900/2100

Ok so I was going through this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193245
and I used to own the HTC EVO 4G, and I liked the lower LCD Density, so now I own the HTC Sensation 4G, and I wanted to do the same. I downloaded the LCDDensity app from the market, to find out that it doesn't work at all, so I followed the steps from this post and I thought I changed the density to 200, and in reality judging from the way everything looks, the editing of the file didnt register the last 0, so looks like the LCD Density is set to 20... is there any way I can edit that file or gain a new one, because I can not read anything on the phone as EVERYTHING is super small.
Hello:
In a command prompt:
- adb pull /system/build.prop
- edit the file in Windows (put ro.sf.lcd_density=240)
- save the file
- adb push build.prop /system/
- adb reboot
You should then be ok
Or restore your nandroid you made before doing the changes

I'm the one who started the post he is referring to. I should have put this information in there for accidents.
Do you have a screen shot?
maybe you first need to remount /system with write access:
adb shell mount -o remount rw /system

I wanna post this guide cuz i searched around and couldnt find any method for kitkat and lollipop, get full sd card write WITHOUT permanent ROOTING.
Some may say: just root, make changes with root file manager, and unroot from superSU. BUT, for this device, from what i experienced, the option for full uninstall/complete unroot, in superSU app, will just hang and do nothing .

The tweaks may work on other intel based devices, when temporary CWM recovery is triggered.
Reboot tablet in fastboot/droidboot mode - vol+ and power until asus logo apears.
Install intel android drivers - there are over 8mb limit of .7z files, so i cant add them here, just search intelandroiddrvsetup1.1.5.zip.
Connect tablet to pc with usb cable.
Unzip IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR.7z from @social-design-concepts and enter launcher.bat
type ACCEPT after reading the warning
Now:
- chose T2 if u are using Kitkat
- chose T4 if u are using Lollipop
Tablet reboots and after some screen artefacts (is normal) you are in temporary CWM recovery, which has a temporary root adb shell.
Keep tablet connected to pc.
Now download ADBfolder.7z, decompress it, and open inside a command prompt/window.
In this window insert commands, each followed by enter:
adb devices
adb shell id
adb shell mount /system
adb shell mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak
adb push hosts /system/etc/hosts
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/etc/hosts
adb shell mv /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml.bak
adb push platform.xml /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
adb shell reboot
The tweaks remain even after factory reset.
For removing the tweaks, in case of installing oficial updates through OTA or manual, trigger again temporary CWM recovery, enter ADB folder, open command window and use these commands, each followed by enter:
adb devices
adb shell id
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/etc/hosts
adb shell mv /system/etc/hosts.bak /system/etc/hosts
adb shell rm /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
adb shell mv /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml.bak /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
adb shell reboot
It can be done, for lazy ones , with pasting these commands in two .bat files (one for install, other for remove), but I wanted ppl to see what is actually happening.
You can use another hosts file, but keep in mind the /system has limited space, so large ones may not fit.

Screen brightness low after upgrade
I read your warning, but still followed the steps mentioned to upgrade my Videocon smart tv hoping to get latest version and remove bloatware. I was successfull in both, however my TV screen is dim now. Even if I change brightness and backlight to 100, it does not look like what it used to before upgrading. Any suggestion ? Any latest packages available which would resolve this issue. I am also happy to rollback to my original package if that is possible. Eagerly waiting for a reply.
Thanks.

My VIDEOCON Smart Tv (DDBVKV50FH18XAH) was connected to BOSE sound bar through HDMI ARC and was working good. But due to my own mistake and experiment I happened to click the CLEAR option by entering in service menu. I think I have CLEARED EEPROM. Since then the HDMI ARC is not working. Other functions of the TV is working normal. I managed to get the software of the TV which is of 450MB (approx). Now my concern is if I update through the procedures will it damage the TV and stop working.
Can anyone help me to upgrade my videocon modal LEDTVVKR40QX-ZSA.
It is a smart tv running android 4.2 and great features like 3d, 4k, gesture sensor etc. It will be a great help to upgrade its software. Please help.ee

Procedure
Boot to TWRP
Check whether the device is connected using
Code:
adb devices
Mount system
Code:
adb shell twrp mount /system
Remount system with Read-Write permission
Code:
adb shell twrp remount,rw /system
Pull build.prop into a PC directory

adb pull /system/build.prop /your-directory
Add these lines to build.prop

persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
Now push the file back into system

If you have authorised adb already skip to step 9
Push adbkey.pub into data
Code:
adb push C:\Users\username\.android\adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
Replace "username" with the PC username
Reboot the device
Use scrcpy to control the device
Through the console it shows me error when executing = adb shell twrp remount, rw /system
