best way is to just try an app that needs root e.g. Titanium Backup or AdAway - you should be prompted by SU to give it root permissions. if not, those apps will complain and you aren't rooted

I have no idea why, but pressing Volume-Down button, while powering-up my phone, doesn't grant that HUAWEI logo stays on screen... it stays for several seconds, then continues to load all stuff, and phone is up as normally.
Any suggestions? I tried a lot of times, the vol-down button is working properly, have no idea what's going on...

LATER EDIT: I had to press Vol-Down longer than Power btn (another 3-5 sec, after releasing Pwr btn) and that did the job. Same for recovery screen.

Thanks for this i've just rooted with no problems.

A question though, i've literally just taken delivery of the phone and am waiting for my unlock code from ebay. I read i need to update the firmware due to a speaker problem or something? How do i do this, can anyone link me to noob-friendly instructions? Will this undo my root? I'm not bothered about changing roms. (as i don't know how to)

Someone else will know better than me, I'm not 100%, but I think you would have to re-root. You'll know if, you install the B866 (edit: B886, sorry)  update and then look in your app tray. If SuperSU is there, you're still rooted.

It wipes the phone so yes, you will have to reroot

[Pia23]

Thanks i thought there would be a way to fix the speaker without installing a whole new rom but i will try and work out how to put the B886 on and attempt it later.... I assume both of these things won't affect unlocking? My code hasn't arrived yet.

[Davidoff59]

Can you check which rom you have on? B885 is the official vodafone sound fix. I don't think B886 is an official vodafone uk release. There are improvements as the rom version numbers increase but none are official uk versions.

confirmed, B886 is unofficial.

[Pia23]

Ah right, maybe mine is okay then as if it's the last digits of 'build number' then it's B885 yet my sound it rather quieter than my Skate.

Although it may be worth putting B886 on to save hassle of debloating myself, especially as Titanium is telling me it can't find the apk files. Bit scared to mess it up!

[Davidoff59]

apps you want to remove are in root, then go to cust file.

[Davidoff59]

Rom toolbox is what I use, click on root browser and then you will see cust in the first menu that you see

well root it, install ClockWorkMod Recovery then back up ur Rom(the one with all the bloatware) on it just in case, althought just check what B ROM you have.

by B rom; I mean they the build number should have B*** at the end, if its B885(back that 1, as it fixes the volume issue)

I got mine from Vodafone Ireland. Have it rooted now but it came out of the box with B886.

[pelago]

That's interesting, as that's the first time (I believe) a greater than B885 ROM has been released officially by Vodafone.

[Dazzozo]

Yep. Got mine last Wednesday, though not from Ireland, on B885.

Paul, can I make two suggestions for changes to the .bat file. Firstly, if you add:

@echo off

as the first line, things will look neater on the screen. Secondly, if you add:

pause

as the last line, the Command Prompt window won't disappear at the end of the process for people who double-click the .bat file, so they will be able to see if it worked or not.

[Davidoff59]

Can this be flashed to remove clockwirk mod recovery and gain stock recovery again for flashing update.app ?

Hi all,
I Got Huawei Ascend G300 recently. Rooted now using the methode found in this thread, then I installed the latest recovery image which has more options like restore/backup and install zip from sd card .... I also installed Deodexed ROM found here http://blog.podtwo.c...ngerbread].html, every thing went well and everything is working GPS. WIFI, FM, Camera...
The only known bad issue is that when I turn off my mobile and plugged to wall charger the phone boots into recovery automatically!!!!
I tried both USB debugging on/off but same result the phone boots into recovery when plugged to wall charger. Now I am not sure if it's something to do with the recovery installed or the ROM?
Does anyone else has the same problem ? And is there a solution for this? Thanks
