Guest Sebastian404 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Hi, This really should be considered a 'BETA' test, but I've built a version of Amon_RA's RA-Recovery for the Vodafone Smart/Huawei U8160. I had to make some big changes to the code to support a device without a Home button, and have defaulted to the ClockWorkMod standard of having to use the POWER button to select options.... You can find it here Any feedback from you guys would be great.....
Guest Sebastian404 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Original readme/change log: This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source with a lot of things added by me. The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu. Important notesAlways check recovery.log before posting your issues! You can do this by doing :"cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor. Use the volume buttons (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the Menu-key to select items. Use the Back-key to go back to a previous menu.full ADB access in recovery modeBusybox v1.15.3Kernel (2.6.29) with ext3 support OLED and TFT supportHW-Key navigation (Volume up/down) optionExtended menu :Reboot system now :: reboot your phoneUSB-MS Toggle :: enable/disable USB mass storage (use when the phone is connected to your PC)Backup/RestoreNand backup :: Make a Nand backup (/sdcard/.android_secure included), the following partitions are NOT included :Recovery (to avoid restoring old version)Misc (no need to backup imo + restore issues on some phones)Splash1+2 (no need to backup imo + restore issues on some phones) Nand + ext backup :: Make a Nand + ext backupNand restore :: Restore a Nand backupBackup Google proprietary system files :: Makes a backup of the Google proprietary system files in /cache/googleRestore Google proprietary system files :: Restores the Google proprietary system files from /cache/google Flash zip from sdcard :: Flash a zip update file from any (sub)-directory on your sdcardWipeWipe ALL userdata :: wipes /data + /cache + entire ext partition + all apps installed on your sdcard (froyo a2sd).Wipe only /data :: wipes /data.Wipe only /sd-ext :: wipes the entire ext partition on your sd (if present).

[*]Added "/sdcard/.android_secure" support , nandroid now backups/restores .android_secure (Froyo a2sd apps) by default. [*]Added a few new Google apps to the Google app backup script.
Guest charliespain Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 works fine on vodafone 858 smart thanks
Guest tophat47 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 I'm a newbie so help appreciated. Tried to flash (with another image, not this one I might add !!) the Vodafone Smart/U8160 but is now stuck on hourglass screen. Can I use this to recover it ? What are keys I need to press/hold on power up or sequences etc. to put it into recovery mode to point to the file(s) on the SD card (I presume) ?

Get the firmware for your orignal device HERE, theres a document in the archive that tells you how to do it, but basically put the files on your SDCARD and hold down (I think) vol up & down as you turn it on... check the document for exactly what you need to do tho....

Hi and thank you for sharing, I was wondering which recovery image is best for Huawei U8160 from this link: http://android.podtwo.com/recovery.php?device=u8160 Also is it best to install signed or unsigned recovery image? And what is the difference between these recovery images: recovery-RA-u8160-v2.3-CM.img and recovery-RA-u8160-v2.3.img Thank you in advance for your help!
