Edit: February 2012: please disregard ALL information below this red text. ROM Manager now supports the Huawei U8160, and will flash the official recovery build from the app. See the Getting Started with ROM Manager & ClockworkMod section in this post.
ClockworkMod Recovery for Vodafone Smart (Huawei U8160)
Current release - v0.1 - 12 September 2011 [CWM Ver. 4.0.1.5]
What is ClockworkMod Recovery? From AddictiveTips:
ClockworkMod – also known as Clockwork and CWM – is a custom recovery for Android phones and tablets that allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery.

Installation - Fastboot Method:
Use this method if you have never installed a build of ClockworkMod before.
Download the Android SDK for your operating system [Windows users are recommended to download the .zip version].
Extract the fastboot / fastboot.exe file from the tools folder of the Android SDK zip file to a folder on your computer.
Download the latest zip release of ClockworkMod using the link(s) below.
Open the ClockworkMod .zip file and extract the recovery.img file to the same folder as the fastboot / fastboot.exe binary.
Reboot (or turn your phone one) whilst holding the power and volume down keys. Your phone will now be in "fastboot" mode.
Open a terminal or command prompt, and run the following commands:
Note: these are example instructions for a Windows user who has extracted the fastboot.exe and recovery.img to C:\VodafoneSmart. Adjust the folder path to wherever you extracted these files.
Code:
cd C:\VodafoneSmart
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Installation - ClockworkMod Method (zip):
Use this method if you already have ClockworkMod installed, and you wish to update the version that already exists on your phone.
Download the latest zip release using the link(s) below.
Transfer the .zip file to your SD card. Do not extract the .zip file - only copy it.
Reboot into ClockworkMod, choose the option Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard. Select the current release, and confirm the update by selecting Yes. Reboot and enjoy!
Usage:
To access ClockworkMod recovery, any one of the follow methods will work:
If you are running a build of CyanogenMod, choose the Recovery option from the reboot menu;
Run "adb shell reboot recovery" on any rooted ROM;
Reboot your device whilst holding the power and volume up keys.[/li]
Once you've entered ClockworkMod Recovery, you will be presented with several options (some familiar, some not). I won't try to explain all of the options, as there are better guides on the internet (example: the AddictiveTips site above). However, these are the ones you should really know about:
Wipe data/factory reset - same as before
Wipe cache partition - same as before
Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard - this is the new method you will be using to flash ROMs and update packages
Backup & restore - this menu lets you perform a full backup or restore of your boot, /cache, /data/ & app2sd partition (which is compatible with mad2sd)
Mounts & storage -> mount USB storage - this lets you enable UMS mode to copy update packages (if you forgot to transfer before rebooting into recovery)
Advanced -> partition SD card - this lets you easily partition your SD card for use with mad2sd or any third-party app2sd solutions. It lets you select the size for the EXT4 partition as well as swap. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP ALL DATA ON YOUR CARD BEFORE USING THIS OPTION.
Changelog:
[CWM Ver. 4.0.1.5] v0.1 zip - 12 September 2011
First release.
Hi, I've been trying this guide and am having trouble with both methods.
Fastboot Method
I get into fastboot mode (where it's just at the hourglass screen), and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". The command prompt just says "Waiting for device", and never updates.
ClockworkMod Method
I installed the CWM I got off the Android Market, and then tried to reboot into recovery mode (both by rebooting through CWM and by pressing Volume+Up & Power). I just end up waiting at the hourglass screen like when it's in fastboot mode.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
for fastboot try without battery inside (only usb) works for me
if fastboot wont work try methode 3. http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-custom-recovery-to-an-android-phone-device/
with extractet recovery.img from zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17496869)

That happens to me too... I also noticed that in device manager is missing driver for Android 1.0? I don't know what to do next. Someone knows? Thanks
EDIT: It works ... download Pulse_Drivers_xp_w7_w764.zip from dc-unlocker (sry can't post link).

for linux users??
just a note, the U8160 has a different USB hardware ID when in fastboot mode, and so inside 70.android.rules you need to add "12d1" and "18d1"
18d1 is the fastboot USB id and 12d1 is the adb USB id
This is for linux btw.
i've two questions for subpsyke:
it's planned update to cwm recovery 5?
Why don't knowledge Rom Manager cwm recovery in your cyano release for U8160?

EDIT: I flashed the IDEOS recovery through rom manager then flashed back this recovery, and now it works like it should.
EDIT: done, thanks a lot
for pulse driver, turn on phone, then press power + volume down, then plug usb, PC will search for a driver
fastboot is just: power button + volume down (and then it sticks on logo or hourglass) then open command prompt on pc
pulse driver:

I have a branded Vodafone Smart (U8160) and it stucks everytime at the hourglass screen. It won't get into recovery mode.
How do I fix this?
Edit: I haven't rooted it yet. Have I to do it before I could install CMW?

Probably I can help you:
1. Go to recovery
2. Plug your phone to your PC (USB)
3. I am using TWRP 2.6.3.0, for me on the homescreen I have a "Mount" button, click it, and press mount usb storage.
4. After a while you will see your phone internal memory plugged in as an USB disk.
5. Download any ROM you want, make sure that you are downloading ROM for your device (There is 2 types of HTC One S, Ville and VilleC2)
Perform a factory reset in recovery
6. Flash the ROM (press install and select the ZIP file) (Do not reboot! Stay in recovery)
7. On your PC create a folder called "fastboot" on C drive
8. Download the file from the attachment, and extract the 4 files from it to the folder which you created before
9. Still on your PC... open the ROM (ZIP file), and you probably have a boot.img file in it.
10. Extract the boot.img to "fastboot" folder
11. On your phone now... In recovery select "Reboot" and select Bootloader
12. Your phone will now reboot to bootloader, you will probably see FASTBOOT USB
13. open cmd
14. In cmd write this:
Code:
cd/
cd fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After it says "Completed!" write:
fastboot reboot
15. Your phone will reboot and probably it will work
PS: Sorry for my bad english
EDIT: Hope you have already updated your phone to Jelly Bean....
Because if you was still on Ice Cream Sandwich then JellyBean ROMs will probably not work

I don't know if I understood you but just to be sure; you get in recovery mode CWM and on reboot TWRP?
I don't think you will like this solution but probably you will get your phone to work again xD (you will lose your data)
First of all you need:
- Android SDK bundle (google it, you will find it) on your Computer
- And a Rom you want to sideload (In your case the Cyanogen Rom)
- Cwm
Follow this steps:
1. go to the SDK bundle folder you downloaded -> go to sdk
-> go to platformform-tools
-> copy your ROM (ZIP-file) inside that folder
-> and name it to ROM.zip (so you won't need to write down a longname in cmd afterwards)
2. go to the SDK bundle folder you downloaded -> go to sdk
-> now press [shift] + [right mouse button] on platformform-tools (folder) to open cmd
3. Reboot your device into recovery mode (use cwm)
4. Go to “Mounts & Storage” and make sure that you can see “Unmount /sdcard/” and “Unmount /system/” (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount).
5. Now connect your device to the PC.
6. Once the phone is connected to the PC type “adb devices” in the cmd. If it returns a long alphanumeric string the phone is successfully connected in ADB mode. (if not look out for a usb driver for your phone; most time the problem lies in there)
7. Now type “adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip” (replace the word ROM if didn't named it)
8. This may take a while so be patient.
9. Once the process is complete you’ll see a message like <12345678kb to 1234567kb> on the cmd window.
10. Now unplug the device.
11. Go to the main screen of recovery and perform factory reset, wipe cache partition and then in advance menu wipe Dalvik cache. (Now you will lose your data for sure xD)
12. Now go to install zip from sdcard and choose the zip file you just transferred.
13. Once the process is complete, reboot the device
Hope this will help you.

So I got to step 4 and I see the mount system but I don't see umount sdcard
Then mount system or skip this part
5,6 and 7 are the most important part.
Can you push the Rom on your phone?

so I wrote the command and it sad "5143kb/s «241840314 bytes in 45.912s»"
then i went install the zip and I can't find it
ok i went and mounted the data , pushed the file and installed it, thank you so much
But now i need to install the stock backup that I did with TWRP
That's pretty weird xD Because you get the message for a successful transfer but can't find the Zipfile.
You could try to push the Zipfile again and don't wipe anything at all (because you already wiped everything) and try to find the Zip file again to flash it.
Btw what does CWM gives you as options if you click install Zip files?

Hello,
I got a Xperia XZS SO-03J (Japan Docomo Variant). Anybody got any ideas to root this device and any custom roms. Already searched the forum but no avail. Thank you for your help.
Japanese cellular version usually unable to unlock bootloader.but still some phones can unlock. if you have twrp ,you can install some rooted ROMs modified from official ROM.(btw you have to find a ROM can install without unlock bootloader)

if you have docomo ubl yes you can patch kernel manual , because it's different from Au,Global,Softbank
I've tried with x compact docomo ubl yes
I think first of all need to check whether the bootloader is unlockable or not
if you can UNLOCK the Japanese Xzs then
you can use this TWRP
https://dl.twrp.me/kagura/twrp-3.2.3-0-kagura.img.html
there is a depate that you can cross flash XZ's Android 6 to extract DRM keys! but i am not going to go that, as soon as you UNLOCK you bootload, TA partition will be GONE..
what is your build number?
download your build from FLASHTOOL---> Xperfirm and send me KERNEL.sin and i will send you the modded kernel
rest PROCESS you can Read (carefully) at
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz/how-to/rooted-kernels-f8332-41-3-2-588-0-t3748987
its for XZ but applies to XZs too!

This is a good news! , good to know that you were able to Root it.
i am sure you will find good performance.
nighlight makes your screen TINT different (reduces blue) which makes it easier on eyes while you browsing in night or from bed. blue light hurts eyes and brain and increases sleeplessness.
a shortcut toggle button next to FLASHLIGHT will appear (if arent already in your build) and display setting will have NIGHLIGHT FEATURE ENABLED- you can control the INTENSITY of this filter according to your needs

Temporary root is now possible on the Xperia so-03j, I personally tested a few minutes ago.
Check this comment for instructions. And here instructions to create a launcher.

Those files seem appropriate for stock rom release 41.3.B.1.140., so don't try unless you're running that specific version (quite outdated if you ask me).
But first make sure your bootloader can be unlocked. If that's the case, you may want to install a recent rom with root support, or check the guides for rooting stock rom. Be aware that with unofficial roms you might lose camera quality or have no cam support at all.
If you're stuck with an unlockable bootloader (like myself) your choices are much more limited. My current approach is having latest stock, disable bloatware apps, and use temporary root when needed.
thank you @dinosaur99 for your quick response, i got the one that cannot be unlocked, so i'm using the temp root method, but do you know how to gain temp root access without using adb (laptop or computer), and can i automate the temp root every after reboot ?
again thank you for your response, and looking forward from you

Good question! I wanted to create a launcher too!
So I just followed these instructions and it works fine. First you need to perform the following commands from computer (have a copy of the exploit file in working directory):
Bash:
adb push su98-memory-kallsyms /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
# Run this from inside the shell
chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
/data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
chcon u:object_r:system_file:s0 /data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
Now reboot the phone, and the file /data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms should still be there. On your favourite console app, create a new terminal launcher/profile/whatever it's called and name it "Root terminal", then make it so it runs this command on shell login:
Bash:
/data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
Note there's a trailing <Enter> key at the end of the command. I use Connectbot and it was necessary.
Cheers!
Edit:
By the way, the last line would be the equivalent to "sudo bash" in a computer. That means you can write a script with the root commands to be executed upon reboot. Example launcher:
Bash:
/data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms /data/local/tmp/my-script
I've done deep search about this concern for 2 hours but I've only seen twrp for M5 mini but with different Mediatek. I have MT6580 so some forums doesnt give me any answers so I need help to you guys if you have twrp for this type of Mediatek. Need to flash a rom to my phone~ Thanks in advance
Upload your stock recovery, we'll see if something can be done

Then you download your stock firmware just extract it with any unzipper app like winrar or 7zip, then zip it and upload it here or it´s not able upload it to some cloud host like Google Drive
This is my stock firmware Lollipop

Ok, now you need to unlock bootloader. Follow the next steps:
Download to your pc the latest version of adb installer from here https://androidmtk.com/download-15-seconds-adb-installer , in the process just type "y" to all questions. After it finishes unpack this adb folder and put it in your main drive, by i.e. c: drive
View attachment adb.zip
Install all the drivers for your device.
1- In your device go to settings/about device/build number and tap 7 times, then go back to settings and you will see developer options into settings, enable USB debugging and enable OEM unlock if it´s present,
2- Extract from the zip twrp.img and put it inside adb folder
View attachment twrp-wl2.zip
3- Connect your device power on to pc and run the file "run-adb" as administrator with right mouse button
4- Type adb reboot bootloader and you will be prompted in display of your device, tap on the small box "always allow" and tap on "ok"
5- Now device will reboot to fastboot mode, type fastboot devices you have to see a serial of your device in the window, then if it´s detected type now fastboot oem unlock you have to confirm wiith the button of your device, pay attention.
6- Then you will go to flash twrp onto your device, for this type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then to reboot to recovery type fastboot boot twrp.img is important that here device reboots to recovery before to reboot to system.
7- In twrp you will be prompted to allow modifications, just swipe to confirm.
If you also want to root your device download the latest version of Magisk in zip format to flash it through twrp.
When al finishes if sucessful you have to format data (all your data will gone) in order to can reboot to system again due to encryption, anyway unlocking bootloader most probably you will lose it before.
Read carefully and do steps one by one, don´t jump nor ignore nothing of the indicated to avoid any damage. If you are not sure in some steps just stops process and ask before.
I´m not sure you that this twrp matches for your device cause I can´t try before and but will see that.
Don´t forget to provide screenies of the process if something goes wrong to can clear.
OMG Thank you very much for this guide, I'll follow the steps later and post a pic after~

Just copy paste all the commands that I gave you. It´s fastboot devices not fastboot device in fastboot you ever have to write exactly or the command won´t work.
