power + volume down never works for me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
It takes longer than the other method, you have to hold them both for a bit before it happens.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
I knew about the power + home method.

I wonder why they made two way to take pics unless it has to do with an ICS method and then they added a sense method.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dannydeez:
It never worked for me either. I must have tried like 50 times and finally it worked. I just use power+home because its so much easier. BTW do we really need like 5 screen shot threads?

I used the first method often but never knew about the power + volume down trick. Thanks!

Yes. Yes we do.

Power + volume down reboots my phone, I'm on flex rom with the menu remap don't know if that has anything to do with it

The power and volume down you have to press at the same time where as the the power and home you press power then home.

Yes. Exactly. Power + home is sense, I believe. I could NEVER get the timing right with that method. Power + vol down works every time for me,...AND goes to screenshots folder, which is nice.

XDA would NOT let me to post outside links cause I have less than 10 posts.

To restore it Boot into recovery then choose backup & restore It's an easy process anyway. I suggest to make a backup first just in case if you have an accident like I did with Marinia ROM then it can solve the problem in the future cause as far as I know there is no ROMs available yet for Vodafone smart 2

Hello,

I have the same problem aswell, do you know exactly the cause of your issue? i think mine is that i used SUPERRECOVERY (a program for another android phone) that messed up my soft and i cannot boot to the RECOVERY mode, key combinations aren't working and i get stuck at green android image logo so i have to remove the battery every time ... Did the root work for you? i presume you rooted your phone before you tried to backup the CWM ? PS: i tried to ROOT my phone with that program SUPERRECOVERY, that is why i messed up my soft, did not had a chance to try the root method provided on this thread :( ...Vodafone Smart 2 here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voda_Smart_2:
Hi,

I had no chance to root the phone, just made backup and after that I try to make backup with CWM and this one killed the phone.

Now I have backup files *.img but I can't find a solution to program this files.

I try to connect to PC but no drivers are found for this device even I try to point to drivers from phone SD card.

It look's like I need drivers for VID_0A5C&PID2132 to try to flash my recovery.img with sw from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144773

But how did you even manage to use ClockWorkMod because this program can't be used unless your phone is rooted, and what was the point in making a backup with that CWM if the phone already has the Alcatel recovery v1.0.0.0. preinstalled.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voda_Smart_2:
I had no idea that CWM will kill the phone if used on Alcatel V860 / Vodafone Smart 2, I just wanted to be sure I have 2 backup source... now I have one backup & one bricked phone that I did not even turned ON to see the menu how it looks... and 2 years Vodafone contract :confused:

Anyway, i had mine returned to the Vodafone center i bought it from, i will tell you how much they had my phone in service, but i am pretty sure by tomorrow or tuesday it will be back in my pocket :P it is pretty wierd because CWM is an app from Google play (android market) ... in my case i have no doubt that the program i used was made especially for noobs like me to use and Brick my phone :)) Again that program that bricked my phone is called : SuperRecovert NOT Superrecovery, i made a mistake the first time sry ...

Mine last about 3 days with normal use: About 1 hour with wifi on maybe playing media for few minutes + Few phone calls + few texts /1day and I always have my phone powered off at night about 7 to 8 hours and I always use 2G GSM + killing the Apps running in the back ground with Task killer.... And I have it rooted for a couple of days now. Usually the smart phones battery doesn't last so long unlike the old Nokia.

I noticed the battery capacity for this phone is only 1200mAh!!!! It is actually ok cause it's not 700mAh, but you get what you pay for in the end of the day it is a cheap phone. I knew that there is what they called Gold battery but this is for the previous Vodafone smart phones the Huawei versions with 2430mAh for something like 13pounds this can last for about one week with normal use.

Hi Mr Irish man,

In one word Rooting android gives you access to system files. So you can uninstall pre-installed Apps like Vodafone music ... Some Apps maybe needed by the operating system so don't uninstall them!!! so be careful.

Any cutomized ROMs? ICS Android 4?

Hi XDA,

Rooting Vodafone smart II or Alcatel V860 is now over.

Is there few Devs out there working to build Customised ROMs for this phone?

Can we see one day somebody running ISC Android 4 on the same phone? I did read somewhere that ISC is impossible to run on this phone but I have a big notion that it is actually possible I over-locked already the CPU to 1000MHz and the phone itself has half Gig Ram.

Thanks have an S2 and have that rooted since day 1 and using custom rom. On this I use Titanium to remove bloatware but your saying once rooted you can delete applications etc via file manager?

You can still do a back up re going into recovery mode correct? Parents only gripe is that the volume is to low on this but that's probably the phone itself

Will have a look at the youtube and see what I can do with it over the weekend. Don't think any dev will create a custom Rom but you never know??

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fpb:
Fist of all, my suggestion is to to a full backup with the Alcatel recovery image. Press Vol UP + power, when the green droid appears release the power button.

Since you are mostly interested in removing the bloatware, I suggest you do just like I did.

First of all, there is a partition named custpack where most .apk files from Vodafone reside. Some of these apps are really fine, like maps, gmail, etc. Others, like Vodafone discovery, AppSelect, some game demos, etc. are just a waste of precious memory.

Everytime you update google maps, gmail or any application in this custpack partition, you will end up with two applications where only one is needed. The old apk in custpack partition will just be there, wasting space.

This is what I do for all those custpack apks that I want to keep and have them updated:

0. Update the application with Google Play, as you normally would

1. From the computer, using adb (I don't know which utility programs you can use in the mobile to do the same), type:

$ adb shell

2. type:

$ cd /data/app

3. type:

$ su

to become superuser and be able to see what's in here

4. type:

# ls

to see the list of applications that you have installed from Google Play that are not system apps.

5. copy the updated application from this folder to the root of the sdcard:

# cat xxx.apk > /sdcard/xxx.apk

replacing xxx with the correct name of the application you want to copy

6. delete the updated application from the /data/app folder

# rm xxx.apk

7. Move to the custpack app dir:

# cd /custpack/app

8. type:

# ls

to identify the application you want to replace (let's suppose it's name is yyy.apk)

9. overwrite yyy.apk with the updated xxx.apk that you have moved to the sdcard:

# cat /sdcard/xxx.apk > yyy.apk

10. Change file permissions:

# chown 2197 xxx.apk (in my case all files inside the /custpack/app dir are owned by user id 2197)

At this point I usually shut off the phone and reboot. After rebooting, your xxx.apk (the updated application) will be in the /custpack/app folder, using the space that was used by the original version.

Of course, if you just want to remove apps from the /custpack/app dir you can simply remove them with the rm command. By the way, I have even moved some other apps like gps navigation to the /custpack partition without any problem.

Right now I have all the interesting apps that vodafone offered us, like gmail, chat, streetview, maps, etc. overwritten by the updated versions found on Google Play. I have also removed the demos from Vodafone as well as some apps like Vodafone Music and Vodafone Discovery. I left Vodafone cloud for the moment (in fact I have even updated it, but it will probably be the next one to remove).

Hope this helps...

@bassalh123 - so if I flash that I will have regular Gingerbread on Smart 2, without Vodafone customization, yes? Ty[/QUOTE]

NO, That's only SourceForge for Vodafone smart 2 which contains drivers needed to build a ROM that can be installed in the phone.

You still can customize the gingerbread installed in the unit because now the root is possible so you can install root uninstaller to remove the Vodafone Apps.

The challenge now is to have Ice Cream Sandwich running in this device.

If v860 will be found in stores ( NOT Vodafone Smart 2 version ), when a backup can be done quickly then soon we will have available a version without customization Vodafone.

I understand. I rooted the device, but I needed regular rom for another reason (the phone can't seem to download anything and I suspect the custom Vodafone rom to have a problem).

the higher is the class, faster is the phone. if you root the phone you can access usefull tools like link2ds that let you install the apps on a ext partition, so choose an high class sd.
