Hello there.
I rooted my huawei X5 today and I tried to install CWM. The thing is, I couldn't find the .cust_backup/image and as such, I can't mount it. The only path I can find is .cust_backup, but can't mount it as RW.
Also, I tried to unroot my phone with SuperOneClick, but the program looks like freezing at some point during it.
I appreciate all the help you can give me.
I ran Root Checker Basic and it says my phone is not rooted, even though I followed the procedure in here...
I have solved this problem. I have another question:
I'm changing to Aurora ICS by dzo. If I want to go back to Gingerbread with the backup I made, how should I proceed?
Thanks a lot.

Just use CWM to recover the backup you made, you dont have to make any wipes i think.
I installed Aurora (latest version) but... it just doesn't go past the android screen. Like if it freezes there.
Any ideas what may have gone wrong?

Did you install the update or the full version? The full version is called beta 2. If you just installed the update try installing the full version and then the update.

Silly me, I just installed the update... Thanks for the heads up. It's working now!
By the way, is there anyway to recover all my apps and apps definitions? I lost them while installing Aurora. I do have a backup though, but I don't really know if that's any help.

You can recover with the backup and then use titanium backup to backup your apps and then recover them in Aurora.

Thanks a lot, that did the trick.
By the way, is there a way to fast boot in Aurora ICS?

Because that causes your problems.
Never update Busybox!!!

I haven't seen anything about the updated ClockworkMod Recovery here on XDA, and I'm not sure if many others know about it. =P
Update: ClockworkMod Recovery for the Droid X has been updated to 5.0.2.0. A new blue recovery!
WARNING: This can be used on both 2nd init and blur roms; however, on blur roms you must first use Droid 2 Bootstrapper to bootstrap.
EDIT: Make sure that you're ROM Manager is up-to-date. A new version was just released that fixes bugs with flashing the new recovery.
Open ROM Manager and select 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'.
When it asks you to confirm your device select 'Droid X (2nd init)' or 'Droid X', respective to your current rom.
It should then download and install ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0.
Reboot hy holding the power button and selecting Reboot > recovery, or rebooting to recovery from ROM Manager. Enjoy your new blue recovery ^_^
EDIT: In MIUI on the Defy base you must use `CWM Recovery' from the reboot menu to access ClockworkMod Recovery.

Strange...I did those steps and I'm still getting v2.5.0.8
Try seeing if an update is available for ROM Manager. If it is, install the update and try again.

Found the update.zip files however how do I flash it with ROM Manager? I've used it maybe a handful of times and that was only when I first started playing with ROMs late last year. I haven't used it since then...always done everything with CWM.

No, I mean check the Marketplace to see if an update for ROM Manager is available. It was updated this morning to further support CM7 on the Droid X.

Oh weird...it didn't show up in my Market list as needing an upgrade but was available. No luck though Gonna try removing ROM Manager entirely with TB, rebooting & reinstalling ROM Manager to see if that fixes it.

Thank you Captain Obvious j/k
I get kind of tired of hearing my wife say "what are you doing to your phone now?" if I reinstall a ROM too much in one week LOL
Yea still no luck
Did the following (based on a suggestion in the Rootzwiki forum):
- Fully removed RM & the Premium license files
- rebooted
- reinstalled RM & Premium license
- Cleared Download cache in RM
- re-installed CWM 2.5.0.8 (chose Droid X)
- Cleared Download Cache
- updated CWM to 4.0.0.5 (choosing DX 2nd-init)
- reboot
- no luck
Gonna try removing RM again & going straight to CWM 4.0.0.5 to see if that works.
What good does having the newer recovery do? Just curious.

I tried flashing it as well and it says in ROM manager that I'm on 4.0.0.5 but in recovery it says 2.5.0.8 so weird. Have you figured out what causes this?

Make sure that your ROM Manager is up-to-date and try again. The latest version has a bug fix that wasn't in the version updated this morning. (I believe)

I got mine working now An update came out (v4.3.2.3) which mentioned a fix for this exact problem & it updated properly for me too. I did notice that cache partition wiping is not as fast as v2.5.0.8 but who cares...IT'S ORANGE!
I know right, that is some sexy orange. One thing though is I've heard that you can only use backups made with 4.0.0.5, haven't actually run into myself since I cull my backups every once and a while to free up SD card space, and that some update zips won't work anymore because the new clockwork requires another file inside of it, my memory is failing me on what that file exactly is.
How is the 2nd inti different from Koushs recovery? I heard it had something specifically to do with CM7. But why cant they use the normal CWM. Wasn't obsidian able to use the regular CWM it was almost pure AOSP besides the kernel. So why the change? Just curious why it is needed.

Thank you very much I am now indulged in an interesting read.
EDIT: Ok so I read the post and followed it somewhat not knowing all the technicalities but got the jist of it. We still cant unlock the boot loader or kernel. Knowing this, what features are not going to be implemented in CM4DX?

Without a coherent thought its kinda hard to figure out exactly what you need. If your device is rooted then you dont have to reroot to change something. Can you tell us exactly what you are trying to accomplish?

....When in ROM Manager, click on the first item that says "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery"..that'll get you a recovery, to make a backup, and to flash a new ROM. And to bring it to stock, the stock ROMs are here, just choose 2.2.1 or 2.3.4, then flash in recovery, or rename to PD15IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader, sorry I forgot which one when flashing stock. FLASHING STOCK WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR ROOT! If you want rooted GB, gohere! Good luck!
^^ Thanks. It worked. Now I can install a new ROM. I am having trouble backing up. ROM manager backs up the entire ROM. I just need Settings, SMS and contacts to be backed up. Not ROM

Use TI Backup, it my personal preference, mybackup pro/root. Both are great, choose which one

I have installed Titanium Premium. It has a very huge list of apps. I only watch SMS, Call Log, Contacts to be backed up and no applications back up. any quick way ?
There is a batch mode you can use.
Click preferences button / batch.
If you use your Google account to manage your contact, no need to backup them.

After I click batch, I see the option backup all system data and all apps. Is this the right option for me ? It will backup all SMS, Call Log etc ?
Yes, It should be ok. I usually backup everything and restore only what I need. If you are not short on disk space, it's easier...

Hello guys.
I must have done something really wrong during my U8800 update to ICS. I just can't boot my phone anymore. All i can see is an endless Android ICS style splash screen when i turn it on.
These are the steps i followed in order to make the update:
1) Upgraded to HUAWEI U8800 Android 2.3 for beta original rom
2) Rooted the phone using superoneclick
3) Installed CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4
4) Using CWM, installed the ics-aurora zip form the SD card.
After that, i my phone just can't work anymore. Is there anything i can do to bring it back to life?
Thank you

Are you sure your installing the full ROM and not just an update? You have to install the full ROM first and then the update. 3.1 is the newest version now.

Hey guys I heard there is an update coming and decided today to just look if my phone is up-to-date or not. Well when I search for updates it tells me I need an motorola-acc...Stupid me just deleted all the motorola-service apps a while ago and of course I didnt make an backup.
Could somebody maybe upload following apps:
Com.motorola.blur.setup
Com.motorola.blur.updater
Com.motorola.Motocare
I dont know if that fixes the problem but its worth a try. If you have a better solution let me know.
Not sure if this will work. Probably best to restore with the stock firmware.

You can always just restore system with RSD Lite and then install the new update when it comes out.
