First of all, all credits for this tutorial go to wolfilein and batemann
wolfilein's original app2sd thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804574
Since the other "how to" thread is a bit cluttered, I decided to tell the community how I got app2sd running on my phone flawlessly, in details.
I'm assuming that you have already rooted your x10 mini/pro and you are familiar with partitioning your SDcard, running ADB tool and root explorer.
If not, then please refer to these threads
For rooting your phone -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739874
How to use ADB -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
So lets get going -
Step 1) Create 2 partitions on your SDcard, a) Fat32 b) ext2. I used Mini Tool Partition Wizard to create partitions. Remember if you are a windows user, you need to create first partition as Fat32 and second as ext2 other wise windows will not recognize your SD card when you will connect your phone/card reader.
A detailed tutorial on how to partition your card can be found here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
Step 2) Download attached rar file and extract them on your SDcard root (not inside any folder)
Step 3) Open ADB Shell and type - busybox. If you see the list of busybox commands you can move to Step 5. Otherwise refer to Step 4
Step 4) If you do not have busybox installed or recognized on your system, you need to install it. I found that best way to install busybox is the manual one, so even if you mess up with busybox installation, your phone is not bricked, yet.
So to install Busybox please enter the adb shell and type su, prompt should change to # sign, confirming that you have entered rootshell successfully.
Now type :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
Code:
cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
Code:
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
Code:
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin/
Once you finished the installation, typing busybox from rootshell should list busybox commands. If you can not get the list of busybox commands, or get message like permission denied, or busybox not found, please confirm that you can see busybox in /system/xbin/ and the permission is set to 755. you can use root explorer for this.
Step 5) Now its time to run App2sd.sh
So from rootshell, type:
Code:
sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh
and PRAY.. Its very important to pray, because anything goes wrong here, you will end up with a PROPER bricked phone. Nah, just kidding.
Your phone should reboot itself upon finishing. and when it comes back online, app2sd should be running on your phone..
good luck.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You take the sole responsibility of your phone, if it gets bricked, vanished or turned into cheese in the proccess.
great .. and PRAY.. LOL
I tried this procedure last week. And it went wrong cause my transcend sdhc (class 2) was faulty OMG!!!
So I bricked my phone, repaired it, and now I'm waiting another 16Gb (class10) card ... so I can brick again my phone.. ROTFL.. no no.. I'm sure this procedure is going to be ok
Thanks to titanium backup I have not lost one bit
Mate seems like a great tut, I'm just flashing my phone to follow this properly =]
P.S. what is rootshell?

You enter into rootshell When you type su on adb shell. the prompt in rootshell is #.
Thanks, I thought so just making sure so anyways I'm about to try this way now will report back soon
PS. lil mistake, should be 'sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh'
PS.2 check your inbox please
IF rooted using universal androot app
1. Does this work if phone is rooted with universal and root??
2. I don't have a card reader to format the sdcard.
I formatted using the Phone itself (through usb cable), but the card didn't mount, and prompting to format it

1. Yes it will work regardless of the rooting method.
2 .Make sure that first partition of your SD card is fat32.
Thanks for a great guide!
Finally got it working on my mini pro.
Don´t know if it´s your script or my phone but it didn´t want to run for me.
When I hit "sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh" the command-window just turns to # again without doing anything.
So I ended up running all commands manually instead and that worked nicely.
Same happened with me... how did you run the commands manually?

Opened the app2sd.sh-file in an text-editor, then I can see all commands listed.
Then I just Copy-And-Paste the commands line by line (Not all at once) in the command-window.

Mate, I only made this thread to help the community. Since this is the method I used to get a2sd running on my phone. And I did not edit/changed your script, I wrote it down, which involved my own corrections and researchs (which I contributed to your thread as well). True that ln.sh was provided by batemann, that's why I gave you two full credit.
I can not delete the thread as there are posts there, however if you claim all the rights on the method, I'll pm the moderators and ask them to merge this thread with yours.
As for helping with picture how to, I would be more than happy to help the community.

Sent from my U20i using XDA App
so I've made a picture howto so now it's verry easy even with my howto
With app2sd, can i pick where i want to install an app?
on Main memory or SD?
and what would happen if i removed my SD card when its on?
or when i plug it in to the PC to add files?
thanks!
if you use this your phone won't not boot after reoving the sdcard
but if you use the orginal howto (my) my script makes a failsafe by installing app2sd and use that,
Well this is a easy tool for editing /system/etc/hw_config.sh directly on your PC, and add things like multitouch, etc, without needed to edit on your phone (bored)
Attached some screenshots.
Requirements:
Windows OS (For vista & 7 please run as admin, for xp users, don't needed that), or Linux OS (only tested on Ubuntu, but tecnically should work on any linux OS)
Device Drivers
Java
On linux, chmod +x hw_editor.jar
You
Features:
Easy Editing Hw_config.sh
Automatic Backups
Easy Pull & Push, you just need to press a Button
Please be sure of connecting your device first to pc, and turn on USB debugging, otherwise the software will give you a lot of errors
.rar for linux, .zip for windows

Did you press pull first right ?, so it's really weird, try with the new one, and be sure that your device it's connected with debugging mode on, try open adb, and write adb start-server

o just for those who have antivirus protection turn it off before unpack zip an using the program.
D4rKn3sSyS, you really are making things easier for us.
BTW, downloaded this, got a virus warning message:
Trojan:Win32/Delfsnif.DX
Category: Trojan
Description: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.

I ignored it and allowed your awesome program to run. You might want to edit the first post to say that antivirus may give a false positive.
EDIT: For the extremely paranoid out there (D4rKn3sSyS is the man! Why doubt his program?), I ran the program through VirusTotal. RESULT: 5/ 42 (11.9%) returned "infected".
Works fine on mine, win 7 x64/x10 mini pro, using Avast free, no virus warning.
thx
Uploaded Linux version, tested on ubuntu, need testers on fedora and other linux OS

Hi together,
I'm trying to root my Huawei Vision U8850. There seems to be only very little information about this phone available, and I've had no luck so far trying various methods.
I've tried SuperOneClick 2.3.3, UnlockRoot, DooMLoRD v4 and some other batch scripts, with no avail. The problem seems to be that the phone is running with Android 2.3.7, and most of the tools are using the Zerg Rush exploit, which seems to have been fixed in 2.3.7.
Zerg Rush always returns a "[-] Hellions with BLUE flames" message, which I suppose means that it failed.
Does anybody know a way of how to get root for this phone?
I've found a Chinese(?) forum where they asked the same question it seems, but I couldn't register there without some sort of code. Maybe somebody knows actually Mandarin/whatever.
translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fbbs.huaweifan.com%2Fshouji-15208--2.html resp. bbs.huaweifan.com/shouji-15208--2.html (links not clickable I'm afraid).
Some more information:
Model
HUAWEI-U8850
Android Version
2.3.7
Kernel-Version
Apps_2.6.32.9-perf

Rooted firmware (Huawei.Vision.U8850.Rooted.Firmware.V100R001C279B244SP22.Android.2.37.rar):
ww*.mediafire.com/?aaqs7vt7aavv3
I've found a Russian forum with quite much activity regarding the U8850 Vision. Problem is, I don't speak Russian, and registering on that forum requires you to input a Cyrillic CAPTCHA, which of course didn't work with Window's Character Map.
I've tried to translate the instructions on how to get root from this post: 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=257207&st=1700#entry14246750
I am however not sure if I understood everything correctly, or if Google Translate was working correctly.
I'm also not sure what exactly the "Russian Channel" firmware will do to my phone (e.g. phone is only in Russion, keyboard is in cyrillic, GPS not working, etc).
The firmware can be found on the official Huawei page (alongside a "Japan softbank" version): huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3812&tb=0
Below is my take on the instruction (which I haven't tried yet). Does this sound plausible to you?
Instructions updated, see below.

*** NOTE ***
The forum software won't allow me to post links, and obviously it corrupts text links. So if there appears a space within a link, you have to remove it for the link to work.
Ok, I've successfully performed the root now by creating a custom firmware which includes su, busybox and Superuser.
I've uploaded the firmware here:
mediafire.com/?aaqs7vt7aavv3
To flash the firmware, you will need the "U8850 Upgrade Tool V1.8.4" from here:
ww*.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDQwNjQ=
This will erase all of your user data, so save anything before you do this. And of course I'm not responsible if anything bad happens to your phone, all I can say is that it worked for me.
The firmware is based on a Slovenian one found here:
johnnyparanoia.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Huawei%20U8850
I've labelled this method the "Russian Root", because I found the initial instructions on a Russian forum. I've translated the instructions and added anything missing to it.
See below for a detailed instruction on how to create a custom rooted firmware for yourself.

*/
You'll need both Windows and Linux to perform this update (e.g. a second computer, multiboot or a virtual machine).
In Windows:
1) Download the "U8850 Upgrade Tool V1.8.4" from here:
ww*.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3812&tb=0
2) Download the "U8850 (Android 2.3.7)V100R001C279B244SP22(Slovenia TUS Mobil)" firmware from johnnyparanoia.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Huawei%20U8850 or madmodder.co.uk/huawei/u8850/huawei-u8850-firmware-list.htm and extract the contained firmware (we need the SFC-244M-0-8025-A03.nb0 file)
3) Download nb0-utils.jar from yadisk.cc/d/MbFUvzN6bic
4) Download busybox from yadisk.cc/d/JIWwvYPNblL
5) Download su from yadisk.cc/d/XtZXIL9rble
6) Download Superuser.apk from yadisk.cc/d/7TQNlhsFbm1
The following steps need to be performed under Linux:
7) Create and navigate to the folder where you want copy the downloaded files to (e.g. "sudo mkdir /home/username/u8850/")
8) Create a folder where you want the firmware to extract to: (e.g. "sudo mkdir /home/username/u8850/extracted/")
9) Copy the downloaded files to the folder you just created in step 7), using a usb flash drive or whatever means you have (e.g. "sudo cp /path/where/they/are/saved/*.* /home/username/u8850/")
10) Go to that folder: "cd /home/username/u8850/"
11) Unpack the downloaded firmware into the "extracted" folder, using the following command: "sudo java -Xmx512m -jar nb0-utils.jar unpack SFC-244M-0-8025-A03.nb0 /home/username/u8850/extracted"
- Note #1: if this doesn't work, try to install Java first: "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre"
- Note #2: extracting the firmware requires quite a lot of RAM, hence we added the "-Xmx512m" flag which allows Java to use up to 512 MB of RAM. Make sure your Linux machine has this much RAM available!
12) The extracted file "SF8-0-244M-0002-system.img.ext3" contains the Android file system, so we need to mount this file.
- To mount it, we first need to create a folder in /media/: "sudo mkdir /media/android"
- And then we mount the file to that location: "sudo mount /home/username/u8850/extracted/SF8-0-244M-0002-system.img.ext3 /media/android/"
13) Copy the previously downloaded "busybox" file to /media/android/xbin/: "sudo cp /home/username/u8850/busybox /media/android/xbin/"
14) Change the file permissions to 755: "sudo chmod 755 /media/android/xbin/busybox"
15) Copy the previously downloaded "su" file to /media/android/bin/: "sudo cp /home/username/u8850/su /media/android/bin/"
16) Change the owner and group of that file to root: "sudo chown root /media/android/bin/su" and "sudo chgrp root /media/android/bin/su"
17) And the rights to 6755: "sudo chmod 6755 /media/android/bin/su"
18) Copy the previously downloaded "Superuser.apk" file to /media/android/app/: "sudo cp /home/username/u8850/su /media/android/app/"
19) And change the permissions to 644: "sudo chmod 644 /media/android/app/Superuser.apk"
20) Now unmount the image file again: "sudo umount /media/android"
21) And pack the firmware again into a .nb0 file: "sudo java -Xmx512m -jar nb0-utils.jar pack /home/username/u8850/firmware_rooted.nb0 /home/username/u8850/extracted/"
Now we're finished in Linux, the actual flashing has to be done in Windows.
22) Somehow transfer the newly created firmware_rooted.nb0 file to Windows (e.g. with a USB stick).
23) Unpack and install the "U8850 Upgrade Tool V1.8.4". This will install a "SUT L3" program ("Software Update Tool") and the USB drivers for the U8850 Vision.
24) Connect your phone with a USB cable and use the Software Updater to flash the firmware_rooted.nb0 to the phone.
Don't get (too) nervous during the flashing and booting procedure, it does take quite a while.
After completion, all of your data will be reset and the phone should now be rooted. To check, use e.g. "Root Checker" from the market or any app that needs root rights.

I haven't noticed any particular problems which I could connect to the rooting process. Yesterday it did take the phone quite a while before getting a GPS fix, but it has done that before (seems to be a general problem for me, even with AGPS settings), but GPS itself was working fine after that.
I'm also having some issues where the internal partition (resp. the /system/ folder) reports an error that there's no space left on the device, e.g. when trying out AdAway instead of AdFree Android. And the latter was working fine.
Besides that, it's working fine. I can call / be called, camera is working, music is working, radio is working (if you can call that working).
I haven't figured out yet how to install the Clockworkmod Recovery yet though. It's still requiring a valid certificate for the update.zip on the Recovery screen, that hasn't changed.
Hi guys,
U8850 Update Tool crashes when trying to flash a phone with the rooted imaged, works just fine with other images. Anyone else facing this problem ?

Nevermind, it was the filename that confused the Update Tool, changed the filename to a shorter one and it worked, it flashed it, now booting.

Yes, I'm afraid Dropbox doesn't really like public links, they've disabled that feature temporarily for my account. Although I severly doubt I've really reached the limit of 20 GB/day for this single file...
I've uploaded the file to Mediafire now, although I had to split the archive to make that work. I hope it'll live longer there.

Hi together,
I'm trying to root my Huawei Vision U8850. There seems to be only very little information about this phone available, and I've had no luck so far trying various methods.
I've tried SuperOneClick 2.3.3, UnlockRoot, DooMLoRD v4 and some other batch scripts, with no avail. The problem seems to be that the phone is running with Android 2.3.7, and most of the tools are using the Zerg Rush exploit, which seems to have been fixed in 2.3.7.
Zerg Rush always returns a "[-] Hellions with BLUE flames" message, which I suppose means that it failed.
Does anybody know a way of how to get root for this phone?
I've found a Chinese(?) forum where they asked the same question it seems, but I couldn't register there without some sort of code. Maybe somebody knows actually Mandarin/whatever.

Hi guys,
U8850 Update Tool crashes when trying to flash a phone with the rooted imaged, works just fine with other images. Anyone else facing this problem ?
---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------
Nevermind, it was the filename that confused the Update Tool, changed the filename to a shorter one and it worked, it flashed it, now booting.

Can you remember what the error message was when the filename was too long? Did it look like this:
Error Code: 0xc60e
Error: Download fail,
Error = SE_ERR_SUT_DETECT_DEVICE_FAIL (0xC60E).

Ditto. Should I just flash it with U8850 Upgrade Tool? How can I get CWM on the pre-rooted Jelly Bean ROM?
Hi! I flash the rooted firmware and now it's rooted! Thanks!
In another forum i found the jellybeamV3.zip but i can't enter in recovery to flash that ... any help?
How can i flash now with a zip file? Thanks!

since you have rooted, you can use it. why would you need jellybeamv3?
Hi all,
EDIT
Thanks to techdudester on the second page, getting rid of the malware is now even easier!
Just flash the image he found here with the following procedure and you're good to go!
Instruction:
1. Flash the new ROM.
a. Get the ROM here . (Use this ROM only if you have a Venstar V140D tablet!)
b. Follow the linked tutorial to install the flash software and flash the new ROM on your device with: Phoenix Suit.
Voila, ready!
Enjoy your malware free tablet!
Tips and tricks. (or something...)
Get adb working (needed for all the other tricks down below):
1. Download the Google development tools (sdk) here and install them on your computer. I assume you have windows 7 installed during the rest of this tutorial.
2. Connect your device to your computer and make sure it is installed correctly.
a. Connect your device while its powered on via USB to your pc.
b. Go to Start, right click "My Computer" and select "Properties". Click "Device Manager".
c. Right click the Android device with the exclamation mark and select "Update Driver Software...".
d. Select "Browse my computer for driver software".
e. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
f. Keep "Show All Devices" selected and click Next.
g. Click "Have Disk..." and click "Browse..."
h. You can find the drivers in the "SDKInstallLocation"\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver directory and click OK. Replace SDKInstallLocation with the location that you selected during installation of the SDK.
i. Select the "Android ADB Interface" driver from the list and click Next.
j. Confirm installation by clicking on "Yes". Sometimes you also have to click on "Install" if a screen pops up to ask you again if you really want to install the driver...
k. Click "Close".
To use it:
Open a command prompt (in search type "cmd" followed by ENTER) and go to the following directory ""SDKInstallLocation"\sdk\platform-tools".
If you want a backup of your tablets system directory (highly recommended!) use:
"adb pull /system C:\system"
where C:\system is the target location on your local computer where you want the backup of the system directory.
Remove the update package (this doesn't work for updating the tablet, so, useless.)
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app
rm Update.apk
exit
Remove the unwanted apps (dragonfire.apk etc)
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/preinstall
rm *
exit
If you would like to have your tablet in the correct time zone after factory reset, you will have to adjust the build.prop file.
First you need to get it to your pc so you can edit it:
in the command prompt window and at the same location as in the tutorial above type "adb pull /system/build.prop C:\temp\build.prop".
Just in case, make a copy of the build.prop in Windows Explorer so you always have the original file if something goes wrong.
Now you can edit the build.prop, but DON'T EDIT IT WITH THE WINDOWS NOTEPAD! Use Notepad++ or similar to edit the build.prop.
After you made the changes (and be careful here, you could end up with a tablet that does not want to boot up, solution further down below) you have to upload the file back to your tablet.
in the command prompt type:
adb remount
adb push C:\temp\build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
Don't forget the last line! If you do not chmod the file (set the correct permissions) your tablet will not boot up.
Changes in the build.prop:
Time zone:
Default time zone is "persist.sys.timezone=Europe/London"
you can change this to your locale time zone like "persist.sys.timezone=Europe/Amsterdam" (for the netherlands )
Search the internet for valid time zones.
Change the default language:
The default language is determined by these two values in the build.prop:
persist.sys.language=en
persist.sys.country=US
For dutch change them to:
persist.sys.language=nl
persist.sys.country=NL
and again, search the internet for valid language values.
Higher brightness after factory reset:
Add the following line to the build.prop file (at the top of the file)
ro.ph.def_brightness=225
You pushed the build.prop without changing the permissions:
No problem. Just connect your booting tablet to the PC, install the driver if its not installed correctly like explained in the tutorial, and then change the rights via adb. It's no problem that it's not fully booted!
in a command prompt in the adb directory:
adb remount
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
adb reboot
If you pushed a wrong non functioning build.prop, just use this method to push the original build.prop (you know, the copy you made ) back to the device (followed by setting the correct permissions of course).
Remove the (in my opinion) irritating boot sound:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/media
rm boot.wav
exit

I have dropped it here. Hope this helps
I bought the same tablet for my daughter. She's (and so am I) suffering from a lot of annoying popups and ads.
Thanks for sharing your instructions here, very hard to find them!
Since I'm a complete newbie: one important question. When you flash the ROM, all of the apps (games) will be removed I guess?
Second question: can you put the stock rom on a different location? Both of the links (including Filedropper) don't contain any files...
Thanks!

Yes, all applications will be removed. As soon as you configure the tablet again with the same gmail account, it will probably start installing the applications and games automatically, but in game progress will be lost for most (not online) games.
I am re-uploading the file. Will update this post with the link as soon as it finishes

First step doesn't work for me: Phoenixsuit gives an error: 'Open Firmware failed'
with three possible reasons:
- firmware version is too old
- firmware format is broken
- firmware is used by other application.
Version used: 1.0.6
Firmware file: a33_599x_v11_1024x600_gc0308_2035_1015a.img
Any ideas?

Is that the firmware that I provided?
If not, try to download it again.
If so, I think that your tablet has a newer firmware than this one. You could contact the seller of your tablet for the current (latest) firmware for this tablet.
If you get a newer firmware, please share
Image file invalid
Hi Blueflame,
I've tried to re-flash, but at some point i'm getting the message at livesuit V1.11 that the image file is invalid.
It's the 3rd time i have downloaded the file, what could be cause of this error?

Not sure. Will upload it again this weekend just to be sure that it's not my uploaded image. (I will let you know once I've done that)
You can, on the other hand, contact the supplier (where you bought the tablet) and ask them for the latest version of the ROM. I would also be interested in that

Try to put the image file in a directory without special characters (i.e. c:\temp). Worked for me.

Te real FIX is In!
Ok, i have one of these allwinner, Venstar, "whatever", A33 D140v tablets. It had all the usual problems and more, because the first thing I tried, was to use the built in recovery to "restore to factory". This made things even worse, because after the recovery, I couldn't reach the Google authentication servers.
I am pro tech with 25 years in the trenches and I have to admit this thing really threw me for a loop, because I spent an entire day researching the solution, installing Android SDK, drivers, Phoenix Suit, Live Suit, etc. These were all very complicated "solutions" that took me exactly nowhere. I finally found the answer in a rather stupid Youtube video.
The REAL answer is actually very quick and easy compared to all these other recommended methods.
In the first place, model V140d image is only used for these infected tablets. The actual model is V11 and once you use the quick restore method I discovered, you will have a malware free V11 model. The whole secret to this method, is the fact that these units were designed to be quickly, automatically and completely restored in less that 5 minutes through the use of their built in micro SD slot.
Imagine that!
If you check your tablet that came new in the box as something other than V140d, the method I used will most probably not work for you.
Anyway, the quick method I discovered, can be seen on my own tech support site. To find it, Google: Just Call Techdude
Then click on the support link at the top of the page on my site and all will be revealed.

Hi techdudester,
The combination "pro tech with 25 years in the trenches" and "very complicated "solutions"" sounds a bit strange.
But either way, a THANK YOU is in order!
The ROM you found works on my tablet (flashed yesterday) and so far so good. No popups and no unwanted application downloads!
I will adjust my initial post to incorporate this image.
First of all I want to thank @lfom for being patient, at the moment of explaining. Here I bring you a script with which you can increase the volume of Bluetooth headphones and allow third party apps installation on watch. It should work with any watch and firmware.
Compatible with Windows should work with Pace and Stratos running any ROM (tested with Pace running 2.6.2.0)
*********************************************************************
This script increases the volume of the Bluetooth headset. Pay attention to the warnings while executing it.
- How to run in Windows Unzip and run "btvolup_win" or simply double-click on "bt volup_win"
(you may not see the file extension in some cases), then follow the instructions.

Hey I'm sorry the file is no longer available to download and there is no script. I don't get it. I have the same issue with my amazfit pace chinese version. Volume is too low. I have not rooted it. Yeah and one more question..... is this method valid for the device that's not rooted?

I don't know what you are doing wrong, but it works.
PS: never share personal info like serial numbers online, I suggest that you remove this info and add your firmware version. If firmware version is too old (lower than 1.3.6) it might not work.
I don't know what I was doing wrong but I ran the process on another laptop and it worked. Finally I feel like I have some use of this watch. A bundle of thanks for @IFOm.
Decreasing the volume
Hi all,
I have Amazfit Stratos and I am experiencing the opposite issue. Even if I set the volume to the lowest level it is too loud. Is there also a way how to decrease the volume?
Thanks a lot.
