Yep I agree. Dzo is most expirienced for now i think. Hope geno will continue to be a part of u8800.

The recovery (CWM) doesn't work for my phone, too. I cannot install oxygen or MIUI. The phone keeps telling me that the ROM I am trying to install are not validated and aborts the process.
So I am stuck with the Stock ROM 2.3, which is not very good. It is very slow and has some silly problems.
One of the silly problems comes with swype. It is stuck, you cannot update it and you cannot add languages.

The stock recovery meant for Huawei updating only.
I'm currently trying to port the latest CWM, but ran into some issues. It doesn't show me the recovery menu, but I have adb with root access, even when device is not rooted. I'm a newbie at this, so it takes time.

Got recovery half working. Soft keys doesn't work and reboots after couple of minutes. Will post updates if I get it properly working.

Just do the same as when you changed to 5.5 just that you take 5.0 instead.

Official Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.6
Note that ROM manager support isn't currently complete. ROM downloads etc should all be working fine, but it needs to be updated to properly flash the recovery. At the moment it uses a method called fakeflash which will load the latest recovery from within whatever recovery you have installed. All other aspects are working fine though.
Download:
Installation Instructions (upgrading - root explorer method):
- Using any file explorer which is able to remount as writeable (such as root explorer), browse to the /cust_backup directory and remount it as writeable
- Navigate to the image directory and backup up the current recovery by renaming it to something like recovery.bak, or _recovery.img
- Rename the downloaded recovery to recovery.img and copy to the image directory.
Installation Instructions (new install):
- Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off
- Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.
- Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see recovery.img etc.
- (optional) Rename recovery.img to recovery_backup.img
- copy the new recovery.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.
- Hold volume + and power to boot to recovery.
- Install any custom rom
- Install rom manager and update to latest recovery

Pretty soon you will be able to download rom updates/kernels and install them straight from your phone using rom manager.
Users on stock should also be able to root their phone using z4root (or similar), download rom manager and use it to install the recovery (although it won't automatically detect their phone but that's not a big deal).
Hopefully this will all start working soon.7Okay cool, Koush has added the recovery to rom manager.

I changed it to /boot because first off I hate calling it /cust (it should be /cust_backup anyway), and second off because (unless I'm missing something, which I may well be) nandroid won't back it up without modification unless it's called boot. It doesn't **** anything up except for anykernel(which I fixed) because all of our rom install scripts explicitly mount mmcblk0p1 to /cust rather than just trying to mount cust and letting the fstab do the rest.
As for the rest of it, have a look at my github and my post. I'm not using the Huawei init and I'm not doing any modifications to the recovery source to achieve offmode charging. This port is fully functional and should be completely compatible with rom manager.
You're not obligated to do anything, I'm merely stating that ages ago you took money from people on this forum to buy a phone, and announced that you would be porting CM7 and getting official CWM recovery, so I expected rom manager support to come. Months later we have nothing, so I did it myself.
There's no reason to change to this really, it's more of a 'pre-release' to make sure it works without any problems. If/when koush merges it into rom manager though this will be the version that's incorporated so I needed to make sure it didn't have any huge problems I missed.
His new version should work now, AnyKernel (the method used to flash the kernel to the phone) needed a small modification to make it compatible with new and old version of recovery.6
