Guest Sebastian404 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 hey guys. just got this phone too. so what's the easiest way to root it before installing clockwork recovery? i'm a noob so need help. would it be to download 'z4root' from the app market? yeah, or if you can download the APK on your PC and install it from the SDcard using the FileManager
Guest witnessmenow Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 yeah, or if you can download the APK on your PC and install it from the SDcard using the FileManager Hey Seb, I saw someone posted a link to a github owned by you for Cyanogenmod for this phone, is it looking any way feasible? Also, is there a good place to learn about developing/tweaking roms? I'm a software dev who will have some spare time in August and I wouldn't mind spending a bit of time at it.

Also, is there a good place to learn about developing/tweaking roms? I'm a software dev who will have some spare time in August and I wouldn't mind spending a bit of time at it. I put together enough of the Cyanogenmod config to build the recovery image, its part of my build of ClockworkMod recovery. I'm don't really have the time or resources at the minute to start looking into porting Cyanogenmod to it... Its fairly similar device to the u8150 and I believe that is supported, so Im sure it wont be long before someone does the necessary.
Guest Angmorr Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Hi! I have tried the Dc-unlocker, but not recognised by the program. May be the problem is with the usb driver of the phone. If someone knows a solution, please let us to know! Angmorr

Guest witnessmenow Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Hi! I have tried the Dc-unlocker, but not recognised by the program. May be the problem is with the usb driver of the phone. If someone knows a solution, please let us to know! Angmorr I got it to work this morning: Plug the battery out of the phone. Plug it back in (sometimes it turns on automatically, if it does just plug it out and in agian) Power it up by holding the power button and the volume down button, keep them held down for like 20-30 seconds. The Egg timer should stay on screen Plug it into your PC. Follow the instructions here Good Luck! Edited June 18, 2011 by witnessmenow
Guest Angmorr Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 Hi! I did the same that you told me, but when the phone is connected to the computer (Windows 7 x64), it told me that no driver for Android 1.0 and when I try to search the internet for the auto-update, there is no driver for the device. The driver which is on the phone is not the proper driver, when I ask the program to find in the directory, it tells me there is no driver for the device. So, any other option? Or anyone has the proper driver for Huawei U8160/Vodafone 858 Smart (Windows 7 x64)? Thank you for everyone's help! Angmorr
Guest b1g1an Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Never used dc-unlocker before but just followed those instructions to the letter using XP and it worked perfectly. Now looking forward to banishing all signs of Vodafone, bar the logo embedded in the front of course, thanks to Sebastian404's hard work. On dc-unlocker's forum it said to hold power, volume down and home keys for five seconds. Edited June 18, 2011 by b1g1an
Guest Angmorr Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 Hi! I have found the problem, that there is no x64 driver for this phone on Windows Update website yet. After that I've found the U8150 x64 driver in dc-unlocker site, http://www.dc-unlocker.com/test/Pulse_Drivers_xp_w7_w764.zip, and it worked with the phone and with the Dc-unlocker. Thank you for everyone! Angmorr
Guest avilella Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 In case anyone is still following this, I tried building a kernel today.. Using the 'general' kernel source from Huawei's support site (kernel-2.6.32-FROYO.tar.bz2) and the devices .config file there seems to be a lot of missing stuff in the .config, and no matter what options I picked I could not get a kernal to boot. I thought I'd give the U8150's source a go (kernel-2.6.32-U8150-Froyo.zip) and it would build perfectly fine, but still no go in the booting stakes... I am eagerly following. I'll get mine and put cyanogenmod the same moment you give me the thumbs up :-)
Guest radian Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Please, can anyone help me with unlock code for Vodafone 858 Smart? IMEI 357147040642926. Thank you very much!
Guest PJ77 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) And the Stock ROM can be found HERE. Should we install this stock rom we get from your link through CWM? I ask this because its a zip file and stock roms should be installed by (Vol up + Vol down + Power) procedure... I tried to flash this via CWM and my phone is bricked. Won't pass Huwaei screen and I can't go back to CWM nor the computer recognise the device when in Pink Screen.. Edited May 6, 2012 by PJ77
