Access to Huawei recovery on UK 2.1 ^__^

[Guest feelmychi]

So, I was playing about with my Pulse (which is currently running the official UK T-mobile 2.1 update) and found that in spite of having installed no recovery image myself, by holding down menu and red on start-up I get access to a recovery menu which lets you either wipe some stuff or reboot - I presume that this is the Huawei recovery image.

Just thought I'd pass on my knowledge of it!

Yap Android has a recovery image itself :D

Did you never ask yourself why its called a "modified" recovery image?

:D

On a siodenote, Android even has a safed mode, accessible by pressing menu + back/home while the Pulse is booting.

Yeah its quite hard to enter it. Start holding down menu and back key when the keyboard backlight flashes the first time. Hold them down until the Pulae starts to vibrate. Normally the Pulse vibrates for a very short time when you turn it on, but when you hit the right keys it vibrates for ~0.5 seconds - you then entered the safed mode.

Is there any point to this "safe mode"? (I was thinking for a second - We have no home button, but then I read it again...)

(Also fixed post for you - yes I'm that bored... :D )
