Did you make a back up of your rom? If so i'm assuming you took it off the card and put it on your computer but did not put it back on the card after formating it. So you wiped your whole system. You have no os. You need to get a card reader put your backup or put the unzipped icarus file back on the card. Then put the card back in your phone and reflash icarus or restore your back up.

A card reader is a device that you use. You take your sd card out of your phone and put it in this device, Sold at your local walmart, then you hook this device to your computer then put the files on the card. Remove said card from the card reader then install the sd card into the phone and reflash. If you have another cell phone you could also put the files on that way.
ok great. now wat files do i need to put on there because i have someone here right now wit tha same phone and SDcard

You need to put either the back up you made of the rom, if you did not make one please make it a habit from now on incase something like this happens again or put the icarus file on the card. Do not extract, unzipp or anything. Just take the ZIPPED file, it comes zipped so don't do anything to it, and put it on the sd card. Dont put it in any file, just on the root(main part) of the card.
ok, the only backup i made was of my pics and music. but in order to get my phone system back running normal what should i take off the other sdcard holder thats here now, instead of buyin a card reader. and once i have these files what i do next?
(by the way man thanks for being a big help)

There is nothing on the other card you need. You need to use the other phone to put the icarus file on your sd card and put it in your phone and reflash it. If you don't unzipp the file it will flash with no problem. Just act like your phone is not messed up and your just about to flash what did you do. Only difference is your putting the files on your card with a different phone then taking that card and flashing your phone with the files.
After all is said and done you need to back up the rom, in cwm you go to backup/restore and back up the whole rom. You really should have done that before you ever tried to flash but can't live in the past. Just flash the icarus file.
Before you do anything else, make sure you are pressing the correct buttons. To install CWM you would use the volume DOWN, end call, and power buttons. Once that is installed, you would boot into CMW using volume UP, make call, and power buttons.
damn man Thanks a whole lot i understand all that! so im going to follow what you just post and update you on what happens... is that cool?

O.K. just make sure to follow the guide on flashing the rom because that is what your doing.

It's restoring what? Did you make a back up of the stock rom? So you put the back up rom and restored it, i guess??? If that is the case then just start back from the guide on how to flash Icarus, but this time don't unzipp it and you will be fine.
i was able to install icarus. "Install from sdcard complete" at the bottom. now i can just finish following the steps, correct?

Yes, make sure to look over the a2sd section very closely since alot of people seem to have trouble with it. Get titanium back up and check to see if it is working.
thanks alot for the help man i greatly appreciate it.

You can always just put the stock dload folder on the card (Should have before you started, just in case...which makes a good point ---ALWAYS put that dload stock flash folder on the card before doing ANYTHING).
THen go to stock, and usb link to the computer and clean up the card put the zip, etc.
I posted before, but if you think your bricked and have the dload folder on there, you can pull the battery, hold the phone upside-down, battery laying in almost but not making contact, or 2 people 1 ready w/ battery.
Hold Vol up / Call / power THEN drop in the battery.
THIS way the very instant that the phone gets power, it grabs the flash. If you try to put the battery first then press the buttons, it's too late. Get them pressed THEN battery.
This silly thing has gotten me out of 100 times thinking I was totally locked up.
GOOD LUCK.
PS: One other BIG problem you will encounter, depending how far you went with CW, is that card may now have an EXT partition on it (Linux), did you do that part where you click 256 or 512 or whatever and 0 for swap. IF you did, the card has the partition and IF you format it in windows without removing first, it will format at the size minus the size of the EXT (Linux) partition.
You can right click computer, manage, and look at the card if you see a partition that says "Unknown" that's it.
I use UBUNTU, program already on it by default called gparted in the applicaitons to erase, delete this partition, and combine with the main.
www.ubuntu.com, you can download for free the iso, make a CD (not dvd CD), and boot, run the OS right off of the CD.
Just a little note, just in case..
Good luck.jeff

3) Connect the phone to the computer via USB and make sure the drivers are installed. Turn the phone off and wait until the battery screen comes out after the Huawei logo then press and hold Volume DOWN, End Key, and Power Button You should see the Huawei logo. Leave the phone like that and move on to the computer.
I'm on this step but the phone continues past the Huawei logo onto a normal boot and then the lock screen.
I'm assuming the phone should stay at the Huawei logo while installing CWM.
Phone is rooted.
Thanks
