It looks like your attempt to flash CWM did nothing.

If you didn't root yourself, superuser means nothing. Install this

so i turned off my phone, and no demage seems to appear,
you dont know how you helped me!

all this started beacouse i wanted ROM with android 4+
and for this ROM i was told to install CWM
i want CM ROM to my phone with 4+
if there is no CM ROM to my phone,
i will be glad to get your opinion which ROM android 4+ to use...
i checked, and i do have rooted device
 
Sorry, but I don't use that phone, so I have no idea what ROM to use. I also avoid giving people the gun to shoot themselves (encouraging hacking without knowledge to back it up), so I'm not going to suggest anything.

What I will do is suggest you read, read, and read some more about what you want to do. Here is a link to the XDA tutorials for your specific device. It also includes how to un-brick your device. Read this, and if/when you're comfortable flashing a ROM, you have the resources to do it.

Not a problem, it's my pleasure.

A 'brick' is when your phone becomes worthless and won't boot up. Basically, a paper weight. Being able to reverse that problem is called unbricking. Always good to know how to fix things before they break.
