Hey guys,
I'm getting to the recovery screen but when i click on "apply update from from SD" I get E:failed to mount /sdcard no such file or directory"
The sd card works fine when the phone is on and can be viewed from the PC without trouble. And, yep, it's FAT32.
It's also a Huawei Sonic from Dick Smith.
Any clues?

catch 22? call me cautious, but...
if i install from update.zip then brick the phone i can still re-install the official rom from the site koolio_au suggests right? this would i assume give me the base o/s without the update from my re-seller.
the catch 22 is that I can't image the phone as it is now until after rooting it and I can't root it without risking bricking it. this is really dumb.
I was worried about the original source of update.zip and googling the apparent author, ChainsDD, it looks legitimate.

Did the entire process from my Sonic worked perfectly thanks Sanity so..... easy
Just a note my phone is the unlocked one from Dick Smiths
yep all done here and cm7 is shitloads better than the standard firmware and heaps faster as well but lost all of my contacts for some reason but had them on hi suite but wont allow me to attach to that since loading cm7 so manually had to put them back in but photos and music were all there
Hello,
Same thing for me.
U8650 bought in France.
Any ideas ?
Where did you guys bought your phone ?
bought mine at woolies 130 bucks on special did want to spend much as i have a habit of breaking them best phone i have ever bought even going to buy another one just to keep as a spare
love cyanogenmod and have just load the latest android 3.1 beta tethering app and it flies
typing away on it now and it gives the down and upload data and speed on the screen and battery temp which is novel
shits all over the kids iphone 4,s if you ask me
1) I can't boot in recovery mode. Although it seems easy I can't do it. I press the "volume up" and "power" but it just boots normally...
2) Should I put update.zip in the SD card or unzip it on my laptop and put the unzipped folder in SD?
dont unzip just put on sd card i didnt even put it in a folder just drag it on to the sd card
this is what i used to do it
Hi to all!
I am Spanish, and I will try to explain How to install ##ZaD!!CyAn v1.1 (descarga) (CyanogenMod 7.2) in Huawei u8650.
First I Have installed Zad Cyan 1.1 in my Huawei and is very potent and very good.
Sorry for my english, is very bad.
First install Recovery clockmod 1ª release
Original topic:
1: You have to install one of this driver, if one don't work, try the other:
2: Download the recovery: , extract it.
3: If you have installed the driver, Remove the battery from the device for 10 seconds, and now push on button + volum down together for 10 seconds (fastboot mode)
4: If the screen has blocked, insert the usb on the PC, and look if the computer recognizes the mobile, if it does continue, otherwise return to step 1.
5: In the folder where you extract the recovery, run instalador.bat, and wait for the instalation.
6: If everything works, turn on the phone in recovery mode (on + volumeup 10 seconds)

2: Install ##ZaD!!CyAn v1.1 (descarga) rom:
Original topic:
1: We put the downloaded zip file on the memory card.
2: We went into recovery mode with press volume up + off (on) button for about 10 seconds.
3: Chose factory data wipe, then wipe cache, and devil wipe cache in advanced.
4: in the main menu choose install custom zip, and look for the previously downloaded zip.
5: Wait for the instalation finish.
6: Restar for use CyanogenMod 7.2
Rom:
If you have problem with GPS:
Install this: , do the step number 4 again, and select the fixgps.zip.
The rom will be in Spanish, but you can select English or one other.
This is all, if you have problem, say it.

How do I remove preinstalled apps I have a terminal?
This thing is driving me crazy. Why I can't boot in recovery mode? Do I just have to press volume up + power on for 10 sec? I do just that but it boots normally!!!!
Hold both keys until it displays the recovery mode menu.
I finally found what was wrong. You have to turn off through "Settings" and "Applications" menus the "Fast boot" option. After that you can boot in recovery mode just fine.
But now I have another problem: when i boot in recovery mode and choose the "update.zip", i get the following message:
failed to verify whole-file signature
signature verification failed
installation aborted
Any ideas?

Hey all, i have Huawei U8180 i downloaded the update.rar extracted files then i moved update files to sd, when i press apply sdcard:update.zip i get error /update.zip (No such file or directory)E:signature verfication failed Installation aborted.
Help?
same here... any workaround...?
Same problem than Ikaros here. I bought a Sonic in France.
Don't know if it only works for Australian devices....
Should we restore factory settings prior to the root?

What I posted in the original post is applicable to an Australian purchased unit. I would say it is not going to work on units purchased elsewhere.....try it at your own risk.
If it doesnt work I would suggest looking for another method. No amount of doing anything is going to change it not working on some.
You guys are using CWM and getting this error, you need to go to mounts and storage and check that your /sdcard is mounted. If not then you just click mount /sdcard
If you get the error "E:signature verfication failed Installation aborted." it could be a few things. A bad zip file (redownload a new one). Your SD card is coming unmounted or you are missing components that need mounting (see mounts and storage and mount everything). Or you have a bad version of clockwork Recovery running there (with a bad SDcard script), and you need to upgrade CWM
BTW I do not have a Sonic, but this is from experience of flashing so many roms and killing my moto phone (never fully bricked it but have been close a couple of times!). There shouldn't be that much variation in phones, usually the euro phones are identical to our Optus based ones.
LOL "devil wipe cache". Never knew the dalvik was so evil!
Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries. You gotta tell them exactly what you want or you'll end up with a cupboard full of pop tarts and pancake mix.

Ok! I managed to root the phone by downloading the official rom and flashing it first.
Explained here:
Nice!!! Document to go was useless and now it's gone = Faster Sonic
But now i'm kinda lost lol. Should I use a custom rom?
Cause some say it's not always stable...
Or is it possible to just overclock and get mekamarket without using CM7?
Yeah I'm a noob i know...
