Do it at your risk!
Hi,everybody.
I had successfully ported CWM recovery&Bootmenu 2ndinit for spice,which allows us to use custom rom.
Now,you have two ways to use CWM recovery.One is entering CWM recovery through bootmenu,the another way is entering CWM recovery through stock recovery(Fake flash update zip).
Method 1:Through bootmenu
First of all,you need to root your spice.And then install bootmenu.
Download the bootmenu.tar file(attached).And push it into /sdcard/
Turn on usb debugging on your phone. And use the following commands in adb:
The bootmenu will be installed.
Restart your device once.
Using Boot Menu:
Turn your phone off.
Press the Power Button.
After 1-10 seconds, the red led on your phone will light up for just 3 seconds (Still while the Motorola logo is being displayed).
Exactly when the led lights up, press the volume down button.
You will see the BootMenu, use the Volume Button to navigate up and down, and the power button to select an item.
Then you can select enter CWM recovery.(Someone say CWM's backup&restore cannot work,you can use method 2 for it)
Method 2:Through stock recovery(Fake flash zip)
I found that we can use CWM recovery with stock recovery leak(Fake flash update zip,like OpenRecovery),but this leak is only existed in SESGC_U3_10.10.0_RT firmware.
I have dumped this recovery(Attached file:recovery.img).And flash it by fastboot.It works well with SESLA_U3_01.72.0 firmware.
And then to flash a fake update.zip(Attached file:update.zip) from the root of your sdcard,you will enter CWM recovery!
By the way,if you want to port CM7 for spice,you need to use 2ndinit for your froyo/gingerbread,because it has locked bootloader.
I have compiled CM7 for it,and it can boot up but stuck in white screen after CM bootanimation.If you want to continue my work,you can checkout my github.
