[Q] Unable to install ClockWorkMode Recovery---- Please Help

---

Hi i have Huawei u8800 x5 with a boot problem as it gets stuck on the android boot screen. so i was just trying to install MIUI rom.

the problem is basically i am unable to install CWM even if i go to the pink screen and replace the recovery.img with the CWM recovery.img and reboots with VOL+& Power the phone still goes to the same old recovery screen which is in Blue text and says

Android system recovery <3e>

android system recovery utility

i am not sure cause when i remove the betery and go to the pink screen it shows the same file with the same sizes as it was by default. (eg. original recovery.img on internal memory is of size 9872 MB ,and i replaced with CWM recovery.img of size 5714 MB.) but when i just replace the files and putoff the phone and come back to the PINK screen i see the same original file size on internel memory (eg. recovery.img on internal memory is again of size 9872 MB)

Guys Please Help i am confused and am not even able to boot my phone. i am lost on how to get my phone up.

its just and phone whose OS is alive but doesn't boot up

Appreciate support.

Have you rooted your phone? If you havent, then install official update, root phone, and then install cwm.

thx. but can you put me a link for official update, as the one from the Huawei site are not working.

Appreciate it.

When on pink screen, connect device with pc and check the Image partition with windows check disk for errors.

I have checked and the drive has no errors and windows sucessfully checked the disk.......

i have notice this Drive comes in FAT32 format and The Attributes marked is as Read only for the Image folder......... my worries is that if its a readonly folder then how can an programe write/ Over write to it.

Is ther any ways i can put an image over to it with the help of some tool.

appreciate your reply.
