I'm sorry, but in my opinion (and testing) The only CWM I got to work without it rebooting or freezing on the Boot Logo (Mine's is Pinkie Pie, not the Huawei Logo) I had to use the Huawei U8150 Ideos Recovery mode
Hey!! thank you for saying that about Huawei_M835 because It's not a childs phone any more and I am proud of my Android and it is the best Phone that I ever had and My phone is Loaded with Tech stuff that helps it and this Rom is vantastic. LOl!!!! (smile)I hated this phone before I installed this ROM. My phone is as fast as anyone could expect given the processor speed. Thanks to this ROM I am content with the M835 for the moment.
Like everyone else I am expecting an update with a WiFi fix.
is the wifi still being worked on? i downloaded and installed the one roachdogg28 used because its the only one i could get to actually boot im working on this phone for a friend and that's the only problem i see atm is the wifi thanks in advanced im sorry if this has been answered before lol im ushally working on Samsung androids XD

CM7 M835
I am wanting to flash this rom on my husbands metro pcs huawei m835. I cant seem to gt cwm to install as I cant get a recovery.img. I have downloaded and gotten recovery zip but cant get the recovery.img needed to use the emulator. anyway an easier way to get cwm or any help would be great. I know a grave digger right? He wont have a bigger phone but as of late feels phone is laggy. Thanks.
A few things I need to know, and then I may be able to help...
1. What, exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to put CM7 on your phone? I strongly recommend that you DON'T!!! There are better alternatives, such as overclocking to making your M835 faster without using CM7. It's junk, trust me....
2. Is your phone ROOTED? Because you can't use CWM, ROM manager app or do anything useful with your phone until it has root access!
3. Do you have a computer with the Huawei drivers installed? You're going to need this to root, and also to put CWM on your phone!
I am rooted and did in fact get cwm installed and working. so i have drivers installed on pc and backup made with cwm. Give me options and alternatives to speed this up a bit. My only real objective is getting it to funtion a bit better. I use the admire. I have modded it 3 times. Maybe I am just spoiled but even just getting past the lock screen on m835 is horribly slow.Thanks.
Ok, so you're rooted and have CWM. There's a good start. Are you running stock firmware or did you flash a custom ROM already?
Thanks for the info. Do you know of anyway to get the tilt screen to work again if i try this option. I am doing this for my husband and he feels he needs that option as it helps view pictures he takes of his work and for gps and such. I want to try it and may just go ahead and try since I can always restore. thanks
So i did go ahead and try it. Not allowing me to boot up even after battery pull. Tried this a few times. So i restored back up. What was it about cm7 you didnt like? What do you use now? Do you have any knowledge of mate35? I really dont want to super charge this phone. I am not unrealistic. I just think it could be a bit faster and smoother.
UPDATE: decided to replace stock launcher and stock browser. Chose dolphin hd and go launcher. I am also using link2sd. I used root explorer to move new browser and launcher to system file and then removed stock of both apps. I will see how this works. So far seems to be a smidge faster. (i know probably psychosomatic) Thanks for the suggestions.
Happy Easter. Thanks for the info. If there is a way i can help you get something working let me know. I have cell service on it and would love to improve it but as you say time is a factor. Im a wife and mother of three. I really get into flashing roms. But im only good at following directions. Lol. D you have stock recovery for m
835. Found link was no good. Thanks for all your help.
I tinker around with my 835 here and there, its just not a very popular phone here in the US, so not much love for this thing.
