Good Evening,
I understood that each device has different ways to get rooted.
If that is wrong I am sorry.
Now... I have a Vodafone 845 and saw great apps on market only for rooted devices.
Normally I would like to have those.
I surfed the xda Forum and found some discuss about this device but root links are to x10 (sony ericsson I believe).
Because of my understanding that confused me.
Anyway, I am dummy in android and did`t understand a lot from those procedures.
My request is: would you guys please make a step by step guide for dummies (with simply english) like me in android?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
My devise characteristics are:
Vodafone 845 ( Huawei U8120 ?)
android 2.1 update 1
baseband version 2210
kernel version 2.6.29-perf
locked in Vodafone Romania.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Respectfully.
Wonderful
This is absolutely great!!!
So many advice, so many guidance!
I really can`t choose between those.
Seems that my post is written with invisible ink!

Hey bro I just saw ya post now, I too have a vodafone 845. What you must first do is root your device using superboot, and then you need to pur a custom recovery using amonra recovery. Our device is synonymous with the u8120. If you search for any roms dealing with u8120, you can use it on this device as well. You should connect the phone via usb to a win7 pc and then follow the directions on how to root etc. These directions can be found on the page that deals with Fresh Zodiac Fruit by Cedric. If you follow these directions to the letter you will have no problem rooting your device and installing a custom rom. Once you have a custom rom on, I would advise installing rom manager from the market. Once Rom manager is installed, flash Huawei Ideos 1 recover image. Then put cm7 u8120 slyking on your sd card and flash that, it is, as far as I am concerned, the best rom for this phone nowdays. When you got some experience using and flashing roms, download v6 supercharger and play around with that, you will be amazed at the results. Anyways bro, just remember vodafone 845=U8120. Once you got this, searching is easy.
THANK YOU
Thanks Bro , I just saw your reply.
Just when I lost any hope of a reply.
From your reply seems a lot of trouble to root my device.
I rooted my phone and now of course I got a bigger problem.
From the moment I bought the phone I hated the calendar,
so I tried lots of calendar apps from the market and stopped the search when
I found aCalendar which suited me excelent.
yesterday after I rooted the phone I erased the original calendar.
This morning when I tried to open the aCalendar ...surprise,
the app didn`t open and the screen shown: OnCreate|NullPointerException null şi apoi OnResume|......
I restored to factory settings and nothing ... same message.
Would you help me please with that?
Or some guru, PLEASE HELP.

There is already a thread about this problem!

It seems that you messed with the phone's software. Did you try to install some custom rom before this problem appeared?
The most common reason for this is that you may have installed a rom for the mini or the LWW which isn't optimized for your phone!
If you find a way to fix it please keep us informed because I have the same problem with my mini as well!

Yo all,im new here!
so, as you see in title i think i bricked my xperia U.. currently i was flashing cyanogen mod to my phone and i think i made it wrong(for surely i did), now i cant turn on my phone so maybe any solutions?
I Appreciate every help,ty!
You can flash stock ROM. Use flashtool and download stock ROM from here.
For step by step instructions see this page.
What were you trying to do? Details man, details!
The most common mistake is just flashing the CM mod without changing the kernel. Or the other way around, flashing the kernel and panicking when the stock rom does not show up.
Hello, friends. I'm writting to ask you for a help, because i have a very big problem.
Some time ago I installed wrong ROM for my Xperia Mini, which was made for Xperia Pro.... I found some good ideas and offers in this forum, like install lastest firmware .62 with FlashTool and then rom, for example, hybrom_v10 via Recovery Mode (CWM). The main problem is I cannot install ROM, because my phone is totally wiped now (there is no CWM). Secondly, I cannot install CWM because i can't enable USB Debugging because of the TouchScreen, which is NOT WORKING. I've been serching for some information a lot about this, but nothing helped..... If you know the solution, PLEASE help me some how, i don't know what to do and I really need to fix this phone. Thank you for your attention.

You don't need USB debugging to install CWM! Just flash any kernel that has cwm in it. Almost all the custom kernels have cwm. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, then I suggest that you do it so that you can flash a kernel which has cwm.
Maybe you should unlock your bootloader, because after that you can flash a custom kernel that has cwm built in
Sorry, did not see abcdjdj's post, was writing mine while he posted his one

There are numerous threads on the touchscreen issue, they're as annoying and as common in this section as best ROM threads are in the Arc section, so I'm not sure why People can't find the solution.
Thank you very much ! Now on the last step left. I installed .62 firmware, hybrom. TouchScreen still not working, but I will figure out how to fix it from orhers threads, well, i hope.
