Borsch Soup's methods to root and flash custom Roms on Huawei X5  blush.gif

Huawei X5 is the easiest phone to root and flash custom Roms, you will only need a X5, microSD card( known here as Sd card ) , ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.5 and the Rom of your choice  thumbup.gif

Step 1: Root

1. Visit here , download the file in the link.

2. Off your phone, then turn on again by pressing volume up + volume down + power button , your screen will turn pink.

3. Connect the phone to computer using USB cable. A window with the following files inside will pop up : amss.mbn, boot.img, EMMCBOOT.MBM, recovery.img

4. Copy and keep the boot.img as backup. Renamed the downloaded .img from boot.u8800-modaco-superboot-r1.img to boot.img. Then copy and paste the downloaded boot.img file into the window.

5. Detach the USB cable, take out the battery and ON the phone. Root done  thumbup.gif

Step 2 : Install Perfect Recovery v4.0.0.5 also known as ClockWorkMod Recovery ( CWM )

1. Download Perfect Recovery v4.0.0.5 here.

2. Again off your phone, then turn on again by pressing volume up + volume down + power button , your screen will turn pink.

3. Connect the phone to computer using USB cable. A window with the following files inside will pop up : amss.mbn, boot.img, EMMCBOOT.MBM, recovery.img

4. Copy and keep the recovery.img as backup. Then copy and paste the recovery.img into the window.

5. Detach the USB cable, take out the battery and ON the phone. Perfect Recovery install done.

6. After shut down phone, just press volume up + power button to go to CWM Recovery. Use the Power button as enter, volume button to navigate up and down and the capacitve 'back' button to go back.

Step 3 : Increase the custom Rom partition to 1.2GB for apps installation.

1. Backup your Internal 2G Storage, doing this will erase the internal 2G data.

2. Download the attached partition.zip to EXTERNAL SDcard, make sure there are enough space in EXTERNAL SDcard (depends on your data partition size, around 600MB is enough).

3. Disable APP2SD, DATA2EXT, SWAP.(if have)

4. Boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery ( CWM ) by holding power button and volume up, do not clear/wipe data, flash this package directly, same as flashing a ROM.

5. After flashing go to advanced options, choose to reboot to recovery.

6. Go into recovery again, do not clear/wipe data, flash this package again directly, same as flashing a ROM.

7. Reboot device. Done. All data will be kept, no data lose, all remains the same as before, but the storage space has been changed.
Credits from here
Step 4 : Flash custom Rom.
1. Available Roms for X5 : [ROM] B160, [ROM] void, [ROM] Oxygen, [ROM] Miui, [ROM] B137.

2. The steps for flashing each Rom is the same.

3. Download the Rom you like to flash, the file should be .zip format. Place it in your Sd card.

4. Remember to always wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache in advanced, before flash Rom.

5. The data/files inside your SD card will be untouched so don't worry.

6. Boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery ( CWM ) by holding power button and volume up, select install zip from sd card, then locate the Rom .zip file where you store it and flash.

7. Reboot and done.

If you can't get it in the market, you need to install Market Enabler from android market first. (needs to be rooted)

Then, fake your provider to T-Mobile by using Market Enabler.

Then just search Fruit Ninja Free. smile.gif

For Root Explorer, well.. brows.gif

Market Enabler is for faking the market to think that you're from the states.

Yes, just long press T-Mobile then choose the top option which is "fake this provider now". Go back to first tab, and press "save current settings".

Launch your market, voila! You'll see paid apps and apps that is not available before will be listed there smile.gif

But, after you reboot your phone, it'll change back to original setting. So need to change to T-mobile again if you wanna get something from the "US Market".

Haha. Other users is also helping. Good to know! biggrin.gif

lol i see

It's the same actually, just that it is now Free and updated to latest version. Try kill your market first then go into the Market again.

Or if you want the easiest way, wait brows.gif

Anyways, if you use adfree, I'm sure it will eliminate it. Haven't tried it though since the Fruit Ninja Free I downloaded doesn't have any ads. rclxub.gif But well, if you have adfree already, definitely just use it smile.gif
