    Luckily I did a dump of the original recovery.img before trying it.

  6. Hi folks, my dad is having a problem with this touch recovery. He wants to apply MIUI ROM to his Ascend P1, but he just doesn’t seem to be able to wipe data.. There is no “yes” option in the “wipe data menu”, only “no”. Where could be a problem?

  7. Any one know if the procedure is good for B103 FW or not!
    I want try the MIUI Rom and I need to make the phone rooted!
    Thx in advance
