Restoring static boot logo and animation from ClockWorkMod backup for: Android Huawei Ideos X3 (U8510)
OK: After some more reading, it looks like ClockWorkMod did not back up the /cust partition ie: /proc/mtdblock7 in which the vodafone logo and boot animation was stored. When I flashed my device with a generic Stock ROM that overwrote the /cust partition permanently. When I flashed my recovery.img, it only restored the recovery partition (which was the CWM Recovery image after rooting). 

The only way I can now get back the stock voda animation is backup the partition (via dd maybe) from another device to an sd card and flash back to my device partition from the sd card.

Moral of the story: Backup all partitions (via ROMDump or dd) and not just rely on ClockWorkMod backup which ignores these partitions.

I arrived at this conclusion by checking my logs from the saved data partition (after rooting) when I saw this file in: /data/load_oemlogo.txt which references /cust/vha/au/logo/oemlogo.mbn

load_oemlogo begin
command_line_is: console=ttyDCC0 androidboot.hardware=huawei
androidboot.localproppath=vha/au androidboot.network=umts 
androidboot.swtype=normal androidboot.mode=boot mem.size=256M
ret_str = vha/au androidboot.network=umts androidboot.swtype=normal   
androidboot.mode=boot mem.size=256M

custom len = 6 
custom : vha/au 
logo path /cust/vha/au/logo/oemlogo.mbn!
stat file error!
load_oemlogo end


Update: Yes I can confirm that the /cust and /userdata2 partition are not backed up by CWM backup and restore.

I quote from translated version (german) from here: http://66.163.168.225/babelfish/translate_url_content?.intl=us&amp;lp=de_en&amp;trurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.android-hilfe.de%2froot-hacking-modding-fuer-huawei-ideos-x3%2f203731-how-flash-partitionen-von-supertoast-anpassen.html

Completely importantly! Make always only times with CWM a Backup.


backup_partitons.

zip load down and in the CWM over “Install zip from sd-card” would drive out. 

The two partitions are cust and userdata2 secured, which does not make the standard Backup of CWM. 

Afterwards cust_backup.tar and userdata2_backup.tar should be to the SDCard the two files.

Now would drive the file out install_new_partition_layout.zip. 
A new boat and Recovery image are installed, because in both the new Kernel COMMAND LINE must be contained. 

Auserdem becomes still the volume demon (/system/bin/vold) and its configuration file /system/etc/vold.fstab it then a few volumes to mounten gives less replaced there.

Now one bootet by means of advanced-&gt;Reboot Recovery into the again installed CWM.


There one re-establishes over backup and restore - &gt; advanced restore - &gt; Restore DATA the data partition from the previous Backup. 


EDIT: More info and updates.
