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?
p.s
sorry for my bad english, i'm italian's users ...

Yea i got this problem too, in ROM manager, this recovery isnt detected, any ideas on how to get it?
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?

Hello Friends
A little background first !!
QiKU Q Terra (CP8692_I02) which was sold in India and came pre-installed with 360 OS v21, Android 5.1. The OEM went back to China hence there haven not been any software update for our device. I had been trying to boot latest Chinese 360 OS on Indian Qiku Terra to get updates but after flashing the Chinese version the device would not boot at all and would get stuck in fastboot mode. To revive the device, I had to flash back the V21, I had tried several times but no success.
I even got in touch with the 360 OS engineers over mail with the help of an administrator of Qiku Chinese forum but the engineers said it's not possible to flash Chinese 360 OS on Indian Qiku Q Terra.
I had also been trying to root QiKU and I was able to figure it out all recently.
Check out my post -- https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...i02-unlock-t3493636/post69455878#post69455878
This tutorial is also useful for users of CP8692_M02 who had flashed the v21 on their devices and now are not able to go back to CP8692_M02.
Warning !! Try this own your on risk although it's very safe if you follow the instructions without missing any steps. Don't blame me if you still manage to kill your phone and loose your job :laugh::laugh:
Let's begin !!
Just ensure your device bootloader is unlock before you follow the instructions as it's required to boot 360 Chinese OS on the Indian QiKU.
Download the latest firmware and flash the same with YGDP or Qiku Download Assistant tool. When finished, the device won't boot and still be in fastboot mode. Now boot TWRP recovery from your pc, go to the folder where you have the TWRP recovery and press shift and right click and select "open command window here" and type the following
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot (recovery name).img
This should boot TWRP on your device.
You can also flash TWRP recovery if wish to,
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery (recovery name).img
Now boot TWRP
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot (recovery name).img
When in recovery mode you can use cmd to extract params partition which contain your device model name. Open cmd on your pc and type the following command
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/sdcard/params.bak
Once done, you'll have a file name params.bak on your phone's internal memory, copy the same to your pc. Download NotePad++ and install it, link - https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Only use NotePad++ to edit the params, don't use NotePad. Plus make a copy of your params.bak file and keep it somewhere safe in case you mess up with original params file.
Right click on params.bak and open it with NotePad++, now search CP8692. The device model name would be CP8692_I02 just change I to M and save the changes, now it should be CP8692_M02.
The system partition size is not enough to flash Gapps hence you need to use TWRP recovery resize option.
In TWRP recovery and select > Wipe > Advance Wipe > System > click FS Option > click Resize FS now you shall have more free space in system partition
In TWRP now click reboot then click bootloader, in bootloader press volume up for fastboot mode. On pc open cmd in the folder where you have params.bak saved and type the following command:-
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase params
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash params params.bak
fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot
If everything went well your device should boot Chinese 360 OS, Android 6.0.1 normally.
Now flash modified Gapps in TWRP which you have downloaded. The modified Gapps has Gmail & Hangout beside core apps and rest you can download from play store later.
If you flash bigger Gapps, the device will not boot or it shall be in bootloops coz of Gapps size and if you don't flash Gmail and Hangouts with the modified Gapps and download the same from Play store then it would give you connection trouble.
In case you wish to root then flash SuperSU.zip in TWRP.
Back to the booted device:-
To Activate VoLTE, download QuickShortcutMaker app from play store. Open the app and locate MBN test > click on the dropdown menu > click Try > Tick Volte_OpenMkt-Commercial-CMCC > and last click Activate.
Close the app and go to phone setting > Call settings > and enble VoLTE and you're done. You should see HD sign in the status bar of your phone. Now you can enjoy VoLTE calls.

Have you tried the code in custom recovery mode??? If you're using the code when the device is NOT in recovery mode then you have to use the following code:-
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/internalsdcard/params.bak
Just bear in mind that you have to be rooted to use the above mentioned code and in recovery mode you don't need to be rooted.

Flashing the supersu.zip to root Qiku is the easiest way if you ask me. I tried my best to give the instructions in a simplest way possible making video is not on my mind.
Changing the model no in build.prop would not help in booting Android 6.0.1 on Indian Qiku v21. Had this been so easy I would've done the same a long time ago
update file params.bak edited
step 1 : flash rom china and flash TWRP
Step2: flash params.bak
Step 3: reboot
Done

3. Download the Asus bootloader unlock tool .apk file to your device and install like an application in order to unlock bootloader(follow on-screen messages)
4. Boot device into CSC MODE(fastboot\bootloader) and connect to PC via usb cable. (To boot into CSC MODE , press and HOLD "volume up key+power key")
5. open minmal adb and fastboot and enter the following commands:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]fastboot devices[/COLOR]
hit enter on keyboard and the serial number of your device SHOULD show in minimal adb window, if it does'nt then you've not installed your Android usb drivers correctly !
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]fastboot flash recovery[/COLOR]
after this command press the SPACE KEY ON KEYBOARD AND DRAG THE "CUSTOM RECOVERY IMAGE FILE TO THE MINIMAL ADB WINDOW then hit the enter key on your keyboard and Twrp will be flashed .
IMPORTANT !!
After flashing the TWRP file, you should boot directly into recovery by holding VOLUME DOWN+POWER BUTTON do not allow device to boot into home screen at first boot, otherwise stock recovery will be restored !!!
6. After booting into TWRP , FLASH THE ROOT FILE IMMEDIATELY !
WARNING !
if you don't flash the root file once in twrp, you might encounter a bootloop!
some users report a password prompt while in Twrp, just press "cancel" then go to twrp home screen , WIPE-FORMAT DATA, after formatting data , go back to twrp home screen -REBOOT-RECOVERY , after that flash the root file (make sure your root file is on an external sd card .
Just followed instructions word by word and successfully rooted my Asus Max SD 615 !
Thanks !:good:

Well i guess if you follow it step by step there won't be any problem.If you get stuck at some point just comment here.And installing adb is just like the normal installation of any setup files in windows.Regarding the flashing of twrp there is nothing much to do than the steps mentioned above.If you still need a video go for this.https://youtu.be/kmq2Eyzl3wA NOTE:This video makes use of files for the sd410 model,so don't use the files in that video.Get the files from this post.This video can make you familiarize the process,but steps mentioned here is slightly different.

There aren't any custom roms available till now.Try using xposed modules for improved functionality(serves the purpose of custom rom to great extent).

Internal Storage Files Missing
After I flashed TWRP and then entered it, it asked for a password to decrypt my storage. I didnt set any password for my phone so I pressed cancel after which came the TWRP menu. But once I selected the install option so as to flash the supersu file, I was unable to find my zip file in it. When I searched for solution, they said it was because my storage is encryted that I was'nt able to acces the data. They adviced to format data through wipe option in TWRP. But still no use. And to add to the problem, when I tried to reboot into system, I was left with a black screen and couln't get to the homescreen.
Please consider my problem and hoping for your fast reply.

Boot back into twrp home screen - WIPE- FORMAT DATA , after that, also from twrp , REBOOT-RECOVERY, after that, go ahead and flash the root file and then try to boot into home screen.
Place the root file on an external sd card.

I guess you have copied the super su file to external sd card.Formatting data as mentioned by jide1 did remove the encryption for me.If it doesn't work do advanced wipe with only the data,cache and dalvik cache boxes checked.Note:don't check any other box.Then reboot into twrp.Go to mount in twrp and see that your external sd is mounted.Now access the external sd card in install option and you will find the files of super su.

Flash twrp again ,disconnect usb cable from pc, then press and HOLD "volume down" AND "power button" when device vibrates, RELEASE "power button" WHILE still holding "volume down" , that should do the job.
Need stock boot.img
I require the stock boot.img so if anyone is kind enough to upload it, ill be greatful. Or if anyone knows how to extract it from the raw image, that'd also be appreciated.

HOW TO ROOT Blu Grand M
Disclaimer: I hold no responsibility over what happens to your phone during the beginning,in the middle, and after you follow this guide
backup your files, if you don't then you're about to lose em.
(keep in mind, work in progress,sort of... ?, your choice to follow this guide)
DON'T 100% TRUST THIS YET, BECAUSE THERE IS NO CUSTOM ROM OR ANY WAY I KNOW TO ALLOW YOU TO INSTALL STOCK OS AND KEEP BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED AT THE SAME TIME. APOLOGIES. YOU CAN TRY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT IF YOU WANT. I DON'T HAVE THE DEVICE TO WORK ON THIS.
--start--
Now, before you start. I feel that you need at least a VALID reason to root.
like, why do you want to root? is it for some app that requires root privileges? cause it'd be pretty useless to go
through all this without a proper reason .---. , I'm going to divide the steps into 4 Chapters (hehehe)
also the entire reason why this post exist is because I was helping a friend gain ROOT privileges cause they have an Blu grand M haha..
I don't see that many posts regarding this.. this is just to help people , if you already knew how to root your phone from the beginning then good for you.
Chapter 01: Getting prepared!
Just, WHAT are the things you need to begin rooting exactly???
well(downloads in here aswell):
a computer
a cord for your Blu Grand M
SD card
TWRP recovery for Blu Grand M from Original forum post here , by Laelson , here's a google drive link
SuperSu flashable zip file > http://www.supersu.com/download
make sure the drivers are already installed aswell
ADB > https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
STOCK ROM > https://www.needrombd.com/Rom/blu-grand-m-firmware/
Chapter 02: Getting started!!
enable developer options by going to settings > system > about phone > keep tapping "build number"
enable "usb debugging" and"OEM Unlocking" in developer options
plug phone to PC
open CMD on your computer then do CD <driverletter>:<into ADB folder>
in cmd , type "adb reboot bootloader" and press enter
put .IMG file into same folder as ADB
on CMD do "fastboot oem unlock"
choose YES
your phone is wiped.
Chapter 03: Flashing TWRP and using SP flash
now, with 2nd chapter done. and the IMG file of the recovery is in the same folder adb is inuse the cmd and type "fastboot flash recovery <nameofFILE>.img then reboot to twrp and then POWER OFF , once its off. open SP Flash Tool extract the downloaded STOCK ROM to its own folder and on SP flash tool and select "scatter loading file" and locate the scatter file of the stock rom after that. you should see on the big box that there are alot of things. unckeck "recovery" and click "download" , and wait for it to finish once it is finished unplug and BOOT PHONE INTO RECOVERY
Chapter 04: Flashing SUPERSU and reboot ;D
make sure you put your supersu zip in your sd card or phone storage by now, if not then put it in there first , ok so tap on install and locate SUPERSU zip, flash then reboot ;D
CREDITS
- @Laelson , if no TWRP for Blu Grand M then root isn't going to be on this phone for a while , so thanks

Will this work with the Blu Grand 5.5 HD as it has the same chipset, processor and GPU? It has a different screen size and resolution
Hi all, I just want to let you know that
* yes, it does work, my friend was able to install it and boot into twrp but so far I have not seen a proper custom ROM for the device I was helping my friend with. so we quit (he eventually got a new google pixel phone anyway)
note: yes, we have installed TWRP and booted into it. but someone has to: make custom rom for device or try to find a way to install STOCK OS and keep bootloader unlocked at the same time. will update OP to warn everyone. sorry.
P.S: sorry for the really late reply, was busy with life.
Hi bro! I tell you that the terminal that I have now, I CANNOT flash anything, it has the BootLoader closed and I can't penetrate or delete it. Any suggestions? Scripts commands do not work, they issue an error message.
Hi everyone,
I have rooted my last few smartphones and was always happy with it. Now I got new Blackview BV9800 PRO and I want to root it with Magisk. but as the phone is new, there is lack of information on the internet, Anyway, I have found some information, but it is not complete and I believe You, smart guys, can help me to root my smartphone
This is the information I got:
How to root it with Magisk :
Download your rom from : viewtopic.php?f=285&t=532354 (you can alternatively extract it with SP Flash Tool and WWR)
Download and install Magisk Manager on your phone : https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/rel ... v7.5.0.apk
Patch the boot image with Magisk Manager
Unlock the bootloader. (Wipe the phone! )
Flash the patched boot image with SP Flash Tool or Fastboot. (ONLY the boot image)
Reinstall Magisk Manager
This is what I did and what happened:
I installed latest Magisk apk from official sources. I opened the app, clicked on "Install Magisk", then via this app I downloaded the zip file, then tried to installed it via Magisk but got an error "Unsupported/Unknown image format".
Any ideas what have I done wrong? Did I have to flash boot image from the ROM, and not the one Magisk downloaded? P.S., the smartphone is new, nothing more then I written above is done to it (no oem unlocking, no usb debugging, etc).
RESERVED
I let Magisk manager patch the original boot.img. After flashing it with fastboot or SP Flash the phone stuck with message that verified boot didn't accept the signature.
Hm... Is there anyone who rooted BV9800 Pro successfuly and could guide us? ?
update fail.
I greet you, I accidentally deleted it when I updated, Nvram. on my phone. BV9800pro. It is possible to provide me with firmware recovered from a similar phone. I also posted on the forum at Blackview but without answer
Isn't there a full firmware download on Blackview website available? I thought I've seen it there

Hello
Yesterday during an update, by accident, my equipment, BV9800pro, performed a complete formatting, "Full Format + Dowload", it seems that Nvram has also been rewritten. it is possible to provide us with a solution or file with this data, specific to our equipment. i need a original nvram.bin, and nvram.data, in firmware from Blackview site this its not exist..
if someone wants to help me, I send them a private message with their email address
My phone is not rooted unfortunatelly, if I can help in anyway (if there is a way) I would pull out the files for You.
Do You know how to guaranteed root BV9800 Pro without running into problems?

rooting worked for me with that solution given to the PM. I wanted to install AOSP, but I found that the thermal image did not work anymore, there were some problems when previewing the video files from Facebook, and I gave up. from the mistake as I mentioned I format + dowload and delete all important partitions. nvram .bin si nvdata. Nothing works properly, TEE and Google Key are inactive, the thermal image fails, some applications are closed immediately. This is the experience with rooting and installing AOSP on the BV9800Pro
Oh man... Sounds bad... have You emailed blackview after sale support (via email, not forum)? No response from them?
And let's say I only root my BV9800Pro, will I be able to send You the files You need?

As I mention there's no TWRP available for this phone yet.
I just rooted BV9800 pro yesterday.
You don't need to SP flash tool or others, just need adb and fastboot.
Quick steps:
1. set OEM unlock to allow
2. connect phone to windows
3. use adb to check if connecting. command: adb devices
4. using adb to reboot to bootloader, command: adb reboot bootloader
5. And then the phone will enter fastboot mode ( you could see small string at left bottom corner)
6. use fastboot command to unlock bootloader. command: fastboot flashing unlock
7. If fastboot program is waiting, please check windows device manager, there should be an unknown device, let windows search driver automatically. it needs android interface driver.
8.Using volume up or down to agree unlock.
9. If agree, all data will be disappeared.
10. Install Magisk manger
11. Download stock ROM from blackview forum. it is zip file. Unzip it and copy boot-verified.img to phone.
12. patch boot.img by Magisk manger.
13. Copy patch image file to windows
14. use adb to reboot phone to fastboot mode
15. reflash boot image file. command: fastboot flash boot patched file name (normally, I would put patch image file in the same folder of fastboot)
16. reboot (fastboot reboot) and reinstall Magisk manager
There are many Magisk root steps instruction in internet. You could refer to other steps, they should be clear than mine. I prepared lots of drivers and application. Finally, I only used adb and fastboot to root this phone.
I rooted it exactly like You and it worked perfectly! Thanks for auch detailed rooting guide!
By the way guys, I think we Should open the request for TWRP for BV9800Pro. How do You think?
After you unlocked bootloader, it changed to orange state, and it always shows "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..Your device will boot in 5 seconds", it could be resolved by modified LK image.
Refer to
1. https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-31664.html
2. http://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?f=286&t=532899 -- included modified LK image
Of course, you could reflash by fastboot, no need to use SP flash tool.
hi if u have back up on your phone could u provide for me link. I had some problems with my loudspeaker and i thought its from the root, or software and i did full format and download. and now it show some watermark and probably is because i l deleted NVRAM.
i download already official version but didn't help ... thank u upfront.

Hi, I'm not rooted (yet) and my BV9800 PRO is having some issues with the loudspeaker, any media like YouTube or Spotify, play audio for a second or two and then just go mute, volume can be high but no audio at all, phone calls last longer but also go mute and have to go back to regular "ear-speaker" to keep listen to the other side. Are this the same problems you refer to? I can't remember if this happened after the OTA update tho. Thank you.
