Installing Custom Recovery On Official GingerBread Update

My previous post showed hot to root the official gingerbread update, hopr you people got it right. This post of mine will highlight the next process i.e. Installing custom recovery on the official ginerbread update. For this we'll be using Belfish's Recovery (ClockWorkMod v5.5.0.4) which is updated and better from the recovery we used in stock rom. We'll also be using two apps Remount and ES File Explorer to install custom recovery.


Steps to install Custom Recovery:

1. Under settings in your device, goto Applications and UNTICK fast boot option (if ticked).
2. Install Remount and ES File Explorer.
3. Download the Belfish's ClockWorkMod and copy it to your Sd card (The Downloaded file will be recovery.img).
4. Using Remount, navigate and mount ".cust_backup/image" folder as RW.
5. Once done use the ES File Explorer to Copy the downloaded recovery.img to the mounted ".cust_backup/image" folder (There will already be a recovery.img file present so replace it with the downloaded recovery.img).
6. After copying exit the application and ClockWorkMod would be installed on your device.
7. Turn on your phone while holding (Volume up + Power) button until your device boots into ClockWorkMod. The controls and method of operation would be same as the previous recovery.

Rooting Official Gingerbread

Its been a while that Huawei has launched the official update and for few the earlier rooting methods don't work as there is no access to the pink screen. This post of mine has been in a while and will show how to root the official gingerbread update. In this method we will be using a software known as "SuperOneClick". All the suggestions and precautions remain the samem like my previous rooting post.

The following are the steps to root the official gingerbread update:

1. Dail "*#*#2846579#*#* " on your phone.
2. Once done, you'll see a list of options, under which you need to select "projectmenu".
3. In this option select, "background settings", then "log settings", then "log switch".
4. Set the Log to "On" under "log switch".
5. Reboot your phone now.
6. Turn on the "USB Debugging Mode".
7. Download the SuperOneClick to your computer.
8. Now, plug in your phone to your computer but make sure you DON'T mount the sd card.
9. Run SuperOneClick now and press the root button.
10. It'll start rooting the phone and select yes if prompted for installing any drivers.
11. Your phone will be rooted now with the superuser app in the drawer.
12. Set the Log to "Off" under "log switch the same way you turned it on".
