so i wanted to install cwm and i downloaded a app from google play store. when i opened it it gave me the option to back up my recovery i had istalled previously. i backed it up then tryed to install cwm. when i clicked reboot my screen wouldnt turn on. i pulled the battery and it didnt turn on. i plugged in my charger with the battery out. i cant boot into recovery my phone is dead bricked :(
 
When You hold the power button does anything happen, do you even get to the huawei logo.

When you hold Power+Volume Down can You access fastboot(huawei logo and blue text)
If you can get to fastboot you can get the bootloader unlock code from huawei and unlock then reflash boot and recovery.

If you can't do any of these I don't know what to tell ya, some of those apps from the play store flash the wrong block, ie you think you flash the recovery block and end up flashing the bootloader or something and bricking because your device is not supported -_-.

I have time today maybe I will just make a thread detailing how to not brick this device.
