Final Update for Huawei U8300

After more than two years of on-and-off use, I've decided to sell my Huawei IDEOS U8300. Have only used it to play baby music to lull the baby to sleep and to entertain him with kiddie videos, so it's practically new.

Did a factory reset to wipe the linked Google account and clear all personal data. Bad move, as the device started bootlooping. Checked out the XDA page for Adrenalin ROM and there's an Update3 already. I guess the U8300 is getting its final update.

First off, copy the ROM and latest patch to the external microSD card. Boot into recovery by holding down VolUp, Call, and Power buttons simultaneously. Flash the ROM, then reboot. After first boot, go into recovery again. This time, you may want to use ROM Manager. Flash the patch, fix permissions under the advanced submenu, then reboot.
