i guess we really need some experts to open some specific posts
to solve specific problems

can u show me what's show under the kernel for yr setcpu?
setCPU --> Info Tab. Then tap Device

linux version 2.6.32.9-perf
this 1?

ic.. thanks for the info..

then now i cant OC alrdy

Yep, custom OC kernel is require to overclock your device, had to flash that before OCable.

damn
so before i do all that like re-partition,flash rom,oc or whatever
at the beginning i gotta do superworkmod first right?
can show me the guide?

Flashing kernel is like flashing custom rom, dl the kernel zip file, place it at the root of your SD, boot to recovery mode, then install from SD only, No need repartition or what so ever.

below is the step posted earlier in this thread.. all thanks shld go to the contributor who write these steps..

Custom ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059753

Step 1: Set up Clockwork Recovery:

1. Download clockwork at http://www.multiupload.com/DQGL84P3A5. Unzip and only use the recovery.img from the cust folder.
2. Ensure that there are no Huawei rom updates on your SD-Card in the dload folder and unplug the phone from your computer
3. Boot to bootloader mode by pressing the up and down volume keys and pressing the power button. This will show a plain violet/purple screen.
4. Connect the phone to your computer. In windows it will automatically mount one mass storage device which corresponds to the /cust_backup folder on your phone. If your OS supports EXT3 it will mount multiple devices, look for the one with an images directory and this is the device to use.
(Basically there is a flash drive with a folder that you can rename the current recover.img and paste the clockwork one.)
5. In the images directory rename recovery.img to something else (ie. recovery.bak) and then copy the new recovery image in its place.
6. Exit bootloader mode by pulling out the battery.

Note: You now have the clockwork recovery installed. Boot to recovery by holding the volume up and power buttons to turn the phone on.
To scrol up and down use the volume button. To enter/select use the power button.

Step 2: Set up Clockwork Recovery:

1. Download B160 ROM; update.zip to you pc from: http://www.multiupload.com/0HR8W3BMUR
Don't need to unzip it.
2. Copy update.zip to your sdcard. Either SD card or internal 2GB. Put in root/main directory.
2. Boot to clockworkmod recovery by pressing power button & volume up simultaneously (don't press volume down).
3. In clockwork you can perform a full backup. Go to backup & restore > backup > enter. Wait until it complete (there is a progress report).
Complete the backup.

Reboot back in Clockwork recovery.
4. Apply update from sdcard. It wil state the update.zip file found. Press power button for enter. Wait until it complete (there is a progress report).
5. Reboot to system. First boot will be slow as it rebuilds the dalvik cache so be patient, successive boots will be back to normal.
6. To ensure you are in the new ROM. There is a poweruser icon and its running launcher pro.

Notes

1. By default the kernel is set to the default cpu governor and clock speed. If you would like to overclock I suggest using setcpu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...937&postcount=1
2. Be aware that after applying this you won't be able to restore the full backup unless you either revert to the original rom, or change the boot image. The purpose of the backup is instead to have a backup of /data just in case something goes wrong.

my phone is done rooting by using superoneclick
if now i wanna do workclockmod
can i still use the way given by you?
will there be any negative effect on my phone
since i do 1 more time rooting
which is the different way of root with superoneclick

clockworkmod nothin to do with rooting.. it's more like an utility for backup/flashing/etc purpose..
since u r using superoneclick, i cant provide much info on this since i didn't use it..

yea i understand cwm got nothing to do with rooting
but the method given comes together with rooting and cwm
thats why im headache now

i tried to use the method to root before
and it was unsuccessful for my phone

Ooo..I just realize I forgot to bacjup my recovery.img
Can anyone re-send me the ori recovery?

hi. i think i miss guide u last time. replacing recovery.img does not affect your rooting.
for example, now ur phone are root, u can use root explore to del some app that u dun,t want. but still,
ur recovery utilities are still origin. u can,t direct flash a .zip in recovery mode if u did not install/replace ur recovery.img to cwm.

as for cwm, is like a advance mode for recovery, from there, u can flash a .zip file, mount/unmouth a sd, or data etc. like partition ur data.

after rooting, u can replace ur recovery.img as many time u like, if there have any new version..
and it will not bring any side affect to ur phone.
just backup ur original and u are good 2 go.

Lol, just press vol+ vol- along with power button, connect phone to pc, open view file, backup the whole image folder, rename dled recovery file to recovery.img, copy and replace the img to the image folder and u're done. Super easy compare to my last htc phone, s-off bla bla bla stuff.

LOL
no wonder
haha
now i'm fully understood already
by the way, can i know what's the size of original recovery.img
cos i think i've ovewritten it

where to download root explorer?
android market is charging for it x.x
