Root CWM + mac complications

[Lobsteroll]

I'm having some trouble installing Clockwork Mod Recovery, The phone after rebooting is staying at the huawei screen, nothing mounts onto the desktop. If I try to install the .img while the phone is on there is an error message saying that there is no mountable file system. Every guide/vide I've found has been on either windows or linux. Has anyone done this on a mac or should I do this over with a pc?

I don't think that the Huawei Ascend comes with drivers that are compatible with mac.

Alright, got CWM on the phone, and have followed the guide through, go to install zip from sd and get this error message
"Amend scripting is no longer supported. amend scripting was depreciated by google in android 1.5 It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to edify scripting to create working update zip packages. Installation aborted.

What are you trying to install and what version of cwm do you have? Looks like you have the wrong one. If it is icarus you need 2.XXX version.

Using Rom Manager v4.2.0.2 (this is how I got CWMrecovery)
The Rom was icarusmod-1.1-signed.zip

Rom manager and cwm is two different things. You can get cwm from rom manager but it is not the right version for icarus. If you are unable to flash the 2.XXX version of ClockWorkMod on to your phone you will not be able to use the Icarus rom. You can use the CM6 and CM7 mods but not icarus. It clearly states that in the directions of icarus it even explains why.

Ah, best advice is in your sig. Thanks, I'm going to give CM7 a whiz and see how it all goes. Thanks for the speedy response and help.

No problem, CM7 was just recently updated and i hear it is running very smooth, even better than before.

hm I just read it over and noticed "USB mount doesn't work on MAC (fine on PC)" for CM7, is this still true?

Last i heard yes, i have a card reader so it's not a problem for me. You may want to try CM6 until it is fixed in 7.
