Guest samjam Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Quick question: do i have to root to install CWM? I'm currently on stock 2.3.6 with baseband 109808. Just wanna put ICS on it. I don't know, but unless you have a strong reason to install ICS your own way, you might consider following this guide - which has some additional safe steps, as well as the advantage that others might be able to help if you go wrong because they will at least know what you are doing http://www.modaco.com/topic/355583-guide-how-to-install-and-root-ics-403-on-the-g300/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daum Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yeah, i was gonna follow this guide, but the original B886 rom is no longer available so i'm downloading B888. Anyway, i don't care for a stock GB rom so i was thinking about skipping the stock rom and just flashing CWM directly and get ICS, but i'm not sure if i should root first.

I thought you had to be rooted to get CWM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why you need B888 as an intermediate step. I went straight to B926 I have read on the forum that it is difficult to go from B888 to other roms.

Guest Daum Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Thanks, i've rooted already and will try to jump to B926 directly. Edit: CWM installed, Imei backed-up. Now just to wait a few minutes 'till B926 downloads. Edit 2: Flashing B926 from a 2GB card (which as i've read is wrong but fingers crossed) Edit 3: Flashed and operational :) However, i feel sad that this is still branded by Huawei. Is there any way to get to the stock ICS look? Edited August 15, 2012 by Daum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest portachking Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi, I'm new and I can't... So I had a pretty fun day today. Rooted my phone, install ICS and updated it with Infusion Custom rom. I'm having one big issue though. How do I move my apps onto the 8GB SD card I have mounted. I was able to this fine with GB but with the new Rom I have no option but to store them on the internal memory. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I have a problem. When i hold the volume down and the power button the phone boots normally as if I were to hold the power button only, what could be the problem? I installed the http://www.modaco.co...03-on-the-g300/ and everything works fine, except the last step, aka booting into recovery Edit: Nvm, just had to hold on a little bit longer Edited August 16, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really have CWM installed, then just turn off you phone and then plug it into USB. It will probably boot into CWM (if that is what you mean by recovery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what i did anyway, I went from the B926 Chinese to Infusion B934, just remember you have to root again and install cwm again too. easy enough.

Have you re-rooted your phone, titanium wont work properly unless rooted, when you move up to infusion, you have to do your root and cwm again.

I copied them to the sd card and they're in the titanium backup folder. Same problem - no solution yet. When I try to set the backup folder Titanium claims the folder contains no backups. Check that your default storage is set to SD card. System Settings/ Storage / Default Storage - Set to SD Card. Reboot, then try titanium. Don't know if that's the problem but worth a try. I find it hard to boot into recover. If you really have CWM installed, then just turn off you phone and then plug it into USB. It will probably boot into CWM (if that is what you mean by recovery) Upgrade to Clockwork mod 5. You can install from new or boot into recovery and flash the upgrade zip.
