Now, here's my experience from the U8100 which is a very similar Huwaei phone. - Rooting, did not kill usb mounting for me. - Installing recovery image did not kill usb mounting However what DID in fact kill it was wiping the data partition (done with the recovery image) It turns out that the virtual CD-rom you get when attaching the USB, the one where you choose, betweem tether, usb mounting and more, is a file on the data partition. /data/cdrom/autorun.iso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it may be different on the U8110 but on my U8100 wiping data was the thing that started the problems and putting the autorun.iso back fixed it. Connect adb and do some logging when trying to enable usb mounting. try "logcat" and also "cat /proc/kmsg" and see if you can find out what's happening.

Guest freddyemmer Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 /data/cdrom/autorun.iso Hi, i have build custom roms for the 8120 (vodafone 845) and if i delete de ISO usbmounting won't work anymore. In the vodafone version you need the image file on data/cdrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kallt_kaffe Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Hi, i have build custom roms for the 8120 (vodafone 845) and if i delete de ISO usbmounting won't work anymore. In the vodafone version you need the image file on data/cdrom As I've done the same for the custom U8100 rom I'm tinkering with and in my next release I've moved the iso to /system (as there was plenty of space left) and added a line of code in init.rc that symlinks /system/cdrom /data/cdrom. This have two advantages: 1. It survives wipe:ing data 2. It frees up 25Mb on /data. You may want consider this for your Vodafone ROM. Just add "symlink /system/cdrom /data/cdrom" in init.rc. Just make sure you do it AFTER data has been mounted. Edited September 1, 2010 by kallt_kaffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
