I think people are not keeping up with the builds and are basing their idea of the rom off older builds. That is why i bookmark the wiki.

make sure usb debugging is turned on (menu button, settings, applications, development, usb debugging)
boot your phone into debug mode (fastboot) press, in order, VOLUME ROCKER DOWN+END (HANG UP)+ POWER. your phone will stay at the huawei screen. attach to pc using usb cord.
open the cwm.zip and extract the files
open the cwm folder
open the following files (you may see the dos box open briefly, this shows it worked all file are labeled according to os, choose for your os)
adb
fastboot
install recovery
unplug your phone from the pc and remove the battery for ten seconds.
boot to cwm VOLUME ROCKER UP+CALL BUTTON+POWER
you should see a black screen with green text. you now have cwm

May i ask what bugs you are referring to. The last few builds have been bugless, to my knowledge.
When I had it installed, the bugs I found were as follows.
- the camera caused lag after use (was a known issue)
- google navi was very slow and same lag issue after use.
- performing the "erase SD card" function would sometimes erase everything and give me the blank SD card warning forcing me to format it again using my computer.
- alarm clock would force close and not work at all sometimes.
After all this and different attempts to uninstall and reinstall, fix permissions, etc, I moved back to Icarus.
I did not have the latest version, but it was the latest at the time.
This is the version I tried --> CM7-Ascend-04162011-signed
Should I give the newest version a go? I was thinking I would wait another month...

Dont forget to EXTRACT(unzip) the cwm.zip files! I left them zipped the first time I tried it and thought it worked only to see the stock recovery after it all and had to start all over.
0416? you was way behind, the latest is 05142011, give it a go, and about formatting the sdcard, its recommended to use cwm recovery to format sdcard, also everything works in cm7 also, its even overclock to 710,729,748 depending on if your phone can support it.
Thanks Nuttmeg. I read up on all the versions and fixes that have happened and I've decided to do it again. I'm about to flash it now so I'll post back soon.
word...keep us updated, btw dont forget to flash metro off v1.3 if you have metro, and make sure you wipe everything not including the sdcard.
I'm not clear on which to choose (w/adw or w/zeam ) ...I'm on Metro and thinking of flashing to CM6, since there seems to be issues w/ CM7 I flashed to
Ok flash went smooth as usual and been playing and tweaking. It is alot better now!! I am super impressed. What is the MetrOFF for? I have not flashed it yet...
Update: I read about it and I just created the apn as listed on this guide. Is there a difference?
What does w/adw and w/zeam mean?
if you flash the metro off v1.3 you dont have to do anything with the apn, unless your not able to send/receive.
HELPPPP Plz...I rooted my phone, and installed rom manager and the cyanogen mod6 rom. Booted into recovery mode,
did the backup. I did the compelete wipe on data factory cache partition and wipe dalvik
. format boot system and data was done. I never put the cm6 rom on my sd card
so I decided to disconnect the phone to put it on. I put it on and tried to boot back to the menu
but all my phone does is hang at that white logo screen...HELPPPP

From what I've read, you can use the free version to get the ROMs from Monday through Friday, you need the paid version to get them on the weekends. I could be wrong, though.flash to stock and try again using this guide. cut rommanager out unless you want to pay for access to the roms.
