Is your phone even genuine? Recovery should even look like that!? Did you use this link to download ADB and drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555 Did you try updating drivers via device manager?

how do you solved your problem with huawei u8180? i have the same isue.
Sorry to bump an old thread
I'm having the exact same problem.
Rooted the 8180 with SuperOneClick, installed Rom Manager, from Rom Manager installed CWM 8160 version with sucess, and whenever trying to boot into recovery mod the phone just hangs while showing the hourglass icon.
I tried reflashing the CWM and it still hangs
Im still running the stock firmware/rom
Can you share how you solved this problem?
Hi, I had a similar issue and did a reboot in to the CWM by holding power, volume up and the "search button" (?) the right one any way. Then did a wipe/factory reset.

So you could only boot into CWM by pressing power+volume+search? The regular way (power+volume) would lock up like it does to me, is that it?
Anyway I tried your key combination and it still freezes...

Bug with rom manager, you should try flashing atleast 3 times and then try and go into recovery, happened to me also, just flash again through rom amanager.

Hi,as for the fastboot instructions - I've found this to be a great help in getting adb and fastboot to work on my Win7 x64 installs,so you might want to give it a try. Also,I'm gonna upload in a bit the earlier recovery + recovery manager (if you want to try that before you play around with adb/fastboot) to flash it to your device + the device drivers.
Edit - The link for the file - http://ubuntuone.com/14mi7lUkJelsrNBr4z5Uy2 - 12.5 MB - contains the older recovery (you can still try to flash the newer one first if you want), 2 different driver packs and the aforementioned recovery manager.

Thank you! Im trying recovery manager as I type this, I find it curious it says "Currently installed recovery: unrecognized"
As for the driver, I already had it installed from when I rooted the phone.
EDIT: So I installed the up to date recovery (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-u8160) with Recovery Manager, still unrecognized and still freezes after booting into recovery.
Installed the one you supplied (ClockworkMod-u8160-v0.1) and got the exact same results, unrecognized and freeze

In that case you might want to try the doomsday option - fastboot (not really,hell - it's actually rather useful + if you follow that website you also get adb up and working too). As for the 'unrecognized' alert,I remember getting it too once upon a time,but I have to admit - I haven't used the app myself since when I made the jump from the stock 2.2.1 ROM to a custom froyo build,so I can't recall for the moment what I did to fix that error

Will do. Besides the fastboot recovery command what else do I need to do from the phone side?
Does fastboot display any feedback or log about the flashing/installation?

Nothing specific -you just have to reboot in fastboot mode (just restart the phone while pressing Power and Volume Down. Windows should chirp and install the drivers automagically - afterwards just use that command discussed earlier and it should flash your recovery without any additional prompts (it should only print out a confirmation of a successful flash) and you should have the CWM ready to go
Edit: I put my device into fastboot mode on a clean Windows install (a Win8 Consumer Preview) and it did autodetect and install the relevant driver without restarting itself
No luck... Now it's driver issues
When booting the phone with either the vol up or down pressed and pluging in the USB my PC isn't recognizing the driver, I used both drivers you sent me.
Initially it's detected as Android 1.0 device, upon fetching the drivers it gets named "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface".
As I refresh device manager it goes back to Android 1.0 with an exclamation mark.
I think it's a driver signature issue, I'll try again in a couple of hours in a different PC
edit:in debug mode I have no driver issues and I can even detect my phone with ADB
Finally!
Tried it in another computer, auto downloaded some ASUS adb driver and installed fine.
Flashed latest CWM recovery with fastboot and now I'm able to boot into CWM!
Thank you so much for your help!
Sry for bumping.
So, i had the same trouble with the drivers. But i just downloaded HiSuite directly from the Huawei Site and these fix my problem with drivers to use adb without troubles . Hope this help someone.
BTW, Thanks bk109!
It did helped me thx man

[Q] Cant Flash Recovery on Samsung Galaxy S3 Clone MT6575

Hi,
I have been trying to flash CWM recovery using every possible means. I have tried MTK Uncle tool and have even tried SP Tool. both process completes and gives success report but when i restart the phone by pressing Vol UP button it enters into Factory Mode not recovery.
Reason i want to install CWM recovery is to get the phone nandroid backup and install some old ROM as the ROM which i have is 4.1.9 and has so many bugs in it. even it cant sync my google contacts and calender.
Please guide me why my phone is not getting recovery installed even after completing the whole process without any error and get OK report at the end as well but when first time it is asked to reboot into recovery it gives a blank screen and when we do that again after replacing the battery it enters into factory mode.
Details of Phone are
BB Chip : MT6575
MS Board : GT-i9300
Modem Ver: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V20 2012/11/09 09:33
Built Time : 2013 / 02 / 18
UBoot Ver : 2010.06
Kernel Ver: 3.0.13 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #2 PREEMPT Tue Feb 19 09:27:09 CST 2013
Android Ver: 4.1.9
SW Ver: ALPS.ICS.MP.V2.6
Custom built Verno. : 1361175260
I say again i want to downgrade to some old version like 4.0.4 which has least number of bugs.
Thanx

Have you tried volumee down? Or maybe use rommanager to reboot in recovery?

Yes i have tried both. Rom Manager reboots me into a blank screen from which i have to come out by removing battery and by pressing volume down button it again gives me blank screen
This maybe happening due to the recovery not supporting your device. I have seen this issue around mainly with knock off/clone devices. As for bugs well even down grading may not fix the bugs.
That black screen is RECOVERY MODE
download recovery manager from play store and flash recovery.img
110% works on every device
Then try to reboot to recovery by same app or by rom manager.

Hai there...
This is Rahul S Nair talking in behalf of Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro development (qualcomm blooded device).. I m a dev working for this device for creating a cwm... I successfully found a suitable method to root it formely.. But when we reached to cwm level we found that the device is not at all taking custom recoveries .. even a moded stock recovery is not being showing up.. whenever custom recovery flashes it ll give a black screen and reboot... after a long investigation we figured that this device have a locked bootloader.. Is it possible for you to unlock this guy....

[Q] BOOTLOOP No Normal or Recovery Boot/ Downloader works/ Odin does not detect on PC

Phone specs:
Samsung Galaxy S3 Verizon SCH-i535
It was already running KitKat 4.4.2 before I rooted
This is my first time rooting and flashing ROMs to my Samsung Galaxy s3 and I have bricked it. I'm pretty sure it can be salvaged but have yet to find anything that works.
I have written the long version for those who need it, but the short version is that I screwed up and can no longer boot into recovery mode or normal mode, I'm not even sure if Download mode is working, and my device isn't recognized by Kies or Odin on my PC so I cannot yet do a recovery from there.
As of now my phone only boots into Odin Mode and gives the following info:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
and displays the yellow triangle error and says: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software repair Assistant & try again.
I tried to use Samsung Kies which has an emergency firmware tool but my device will not connect and become recognized by the program.
This is pretty much where I'm stuck.
Keep reading if you need additional info.
Steps leading up to problem:
I was able to Root the device succesfully
I then downloaded the latest CM11 package (cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip) and Gapps
I also downloaded the TWRP recovery img (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-d2vzw.img)
Once I had these downloaded I got the app [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool
I opened the app and tried to do a backup but I'm pretty sure it failed, or at least it said it failed. I couldn't find out how to check, but was not worried since I have already backed up my important files to the verizon cloud.
On the app I went to recover using other file and found the TWRP recovery img I downloaded.
From here I booted into recovery manually, but it did not bring up the TEAMWIN screen for TWRP like I've seen in other video tutorials so I rebooted into normal mode went to the Rashr app again and followed the prompt to do a Recovery boot using the TWRP img.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN:
It began to lead into recovery mode but it gave a message that said something along the lines that I have tried installing a custom OS and to take my phone to the nearest verizon store.
I turned it off and tried to boot back normally but got the same error.
I tried to boot into Download mode and was successful! So I thought yaay!
Read a tutorial to reload a stock version of android here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
I followed all the steps but when i got to 7. which said You should see your phone under ID:COM (you should also see it has been added in message) I was not seeing my phone there. I figured it may be OK since I was able to install the drivers so that meant the USB was working so I went ahead and ran Odin to recover Jelly Bean 4.3 onto the device.
My thoughts and guesses as to what the problem is:
I think that it may be because I was already running 4.4.2 and/ or didn't have the proper bootloader when I tried to do the TWRP recovery.
Am I on the right track? Thanks for any help!
Please ask. In correct forum this is int'l s3 (i9300) forum

Sm-j100y /= sm-j100h
I have encountered a similar incompatibility trying to use the SM-J100H TWRP recovery onto a SM-J100Y handset. Trying to boot into recovery after doing this freezes it, and I have to power it off to get out of it.
It looks like some further development is needed to create a compatible Rom/TWRP image that wont brick the SM-J100Y.

Comparing the 2 models on here (I can't post links...) mobosdata.com/samsung-galaxy-j1-sm-j100y and mobosdata.com/samsung-galaxy-j1-sm-j100h, the hardware differences are:
RAM: J100y-768MB ; J100H-512MB
SIM: J100y=Single SIM ; J100H=Dual SIM
Network: J100y=3G 850, 900, 2100 MHz, as well as 4G 700, 900, 1800, 2100, 2600 MHz ; J100H=3G 900, 2100 MHz
NFC: J100Y=yes ; J100H=No
Hotspot: J100Y=yes ; J100H=No
AudioRecording: J100Y=yes ; J100H=No
I just wanted to install TWRP. Does anyone know if you need to unlock the bootloader for that using Odin? I would not have thought so, but I could be wrong.
Rooting SM-J100Y
'J100YDXU0AOC1_root.tar' image by Hosam Kashto (Password "hosamkashto") does indeed work for rooting my SM-J100Y but i fail to connect to my network Skinny, if there is a way to edit the image and make a boot img for the updated firmware version i'll be willing to give it a shot. And how hard is it to create a TWRP/CWM rom for this device?
root access successful
I have successfully rooted my samsung J100Y with no issues what so ever, J100YDXU0AOC1.
You need to install kingoroot on your phone first then install kingoroot on your PC, Also install ODIN V3.07 on your PC to get this done properly, when I get home I will upload the files to my dropbox and give better details how to do this correctly.
How To Root Samsung Galaxy J1
This is how you root the Samsung Galaxy J1 (J100YDXU0AOC1) Australia.
- Install Kingoroot on your phone
- Install both Kingoroot and Odin V3.07 on your PC (in the files provided below)
- Put your phone into download mode, power off the phone then hold down power, home and volume down until you see the little android robot
- Open Odin V3.07 and plug your phone in
- Click on PDA in Odin V3.07 and navigate to the file J100YDXU0AOC1_root.tar and press Start (let it work its magic)
- When it says Pass in Odin you are good to go, now open Kingoroot on your PC and run it, it will make sure it is properly rooted, your phone will tell you it is rooted before the PC version does, that's it you have now successfully rooted your phone.
I have included the original firmware in the files just in case something goes wrong for you, you can use Odin to restore with the original firmware.

'J100YDXU0AOC1_root.tar' image by Hosam Kashto (Password "hosamkashto") does indeed work for rooting my SM-J100Y but i fail to connect to my network Skinny, if there is a way to edit the image and make a boot img for the updated firmware version i'll be willing to give it a shot. And how hard is it to create a TWRP/CWM rom for this device?

i got root j100y. took 2 days but got it. Flash J100YDXU0AOC1_OPPOAOC1_V4.4.4_Repair_Firmware.zip. Unzip and find necessary files. Used odin3 13.3.1 latest version, insert files BL, AP and so from the zip. If its taking too long more than 20 mins, power off phone and back on but dont unplug from pc. Should start where it left off. Now, set up phone when it reboots, settings, about phone, tap build number 5 times, enter developer mode, enable usb debug, allow installations from unknown sources. Down apk kingoboot, install on phone. one click root. Device should reboot. Now check root with an app. Should be done if not run kingoroot on pc. Keep trying and follow any prompts on phone always allow and install anyway etc. It is possible.
