Hi
Firstly, as a newbie to Android and the delights of the Huawei G300, I'd like to say what a fantastic community this is.
I've had my G300 two weeks now and with no experience on Android before, with the help of this site (and largely the ICS like you're 5 guide which is brillant),  I have - rooted my phone (I still don't really understand the full benefit of doing these other than - nstalled ClockWorkMod
- upgraded to Favaroooo version of ICS
I don't understand the greater benefits of rooting or CWM yet, I've just followed the custom ROM install guide,  hopefully I'll get a better understanding of what I can do with these later.
I couldn't have done any of this stuff without the information provided on here...
http://www.modaco.co...date-root-more/

Secondly,  I, like other users on here, have a problem with CWM 4 in that it kicks in if I try and charge the phone when powered off.
It seems I need CWM 5 but all the references to this file on Mediafire return an error message stating the file is deleted (do Mediafire files have a short lifespan or something?)

so...please please could someone provide me with an alternative link to this file where it won't disappear in the next day or so?

Thanks once again to a Happy Huawei owner  data:image/png;base64,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

The trouble is that it seems that the one I should go for is "CWM 5.0.2.8 GB & ICS Final version" but the second link of that is "Fastboot: http://www.mediafire.com/?undefined" Of course that goes nowhere. There are posts that quote that link (possibly an earlier version) but they lead to a 404 error.

Just giving this a try now. The backup seemed to work fine, just trying a restore. Looking good.

Edit: Backup & restore both worked without issue. Looks like I'll be staying on this new version. Many thanks for all your work on this, Kra1o5.

Had a problem deleting dalvik cache with latest version. Phone just hung. Same happened on full wipe, I presume at this point. Maybe a problem on my phone but just mentioning it.

Hi all, Noob question here. I have rooted and installed cwm all ok. 3e version.When i boot into cwm i have no option to back up. Am i running the wrong cwm? I would like to back up the 936 uk update i am running before i start trying custom roms and would be very grateful for any help.

[b4da55]

I don't think you have cwm installed.it sound like you still have stock recovery  You have to unlock bootloader and may need to try a couple of times.

HI, I have the same question. Can anybody answer it, please.

Yes CWM allows you to do a full Nandroid backup of your phone for later restoration if needed.
