This is the release of Clockworkmod for the Huawei Valiant. While you are more than welcome to flash this to your device, there are a few things to note:
Proceed if and only if you agree to ALL of those terms

The files for this device are hosted on my Github. The more recent download can be retrieved from the link below. If you want an older release, then you need to go to the third post in this thread (Release History).

Installation Instructions
- First and foremost, this WILL void your warranty, so if you have any issues with your device after this, they are longer covered by Huawei or MetroPCS.
- Secondly, rooting your device and/or flashing a custom recovery is directly against MetroPCS's (and most carriers') Terms of Use. If Metro catches you with either of these, they will suspend your account.
- Thirdly, I am in no way, share or form responsible for what you do to your device. If you are not okay with this, then do NOT flash this recovery.
- Fourth and finally, this process requires that your device's bootloader is unlocked. If you do not know how to do this, then refer to the thread I will be creating later.
Proceed if and only if you agree to ALL of those terms

Installation Instructions
- Download the file listed above
- Install the Android SDK on your PC. For more information on doing so, Google it.
- On your phone, open the settings app, swipe to the left so you are on the all tab, and scroll to the bottom. You should see an option that says Fast Boot. Make sure that option is turned off.
- Turn off the device.
- Pull the battery for 10 seconds (annoying, but necessary)
- Place the battery back in your phone, and press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN for 10 seconds, when you release the buttons, your phone should stay at the Huawei Logo if you did everything correctly
- If your phone booted normally, just repeat steps 4 - 7
- Open a terminal (Linux and Mac) or Command Prompt and change to the directory you downloaded the file to.
- Next type
Code:
fastboot devices
- You should see a line that says something like
Code:
34230cc2 fastboot
- Now type the following command and MAKE SURE YOU TYPE IT CORRECTLY, if you don't, this process can brick your device
Code:
fastboot flash recovery {filename}
- Now type
Code:
fastboot reboot
- As soon as your phone's screen goes blank press and hold the VOLUP button until your device boots into recovery.
- If your device opens Clockworkmod, good you are done. If it pulls up Huawei recovery, then you have an issue, leave a reply to this thread and I will help you to the best of my ability.
