Strange now it doesn not even detect the phone anymore
What I did was:
hold those three buttons, the screen hanged with a sandclock, plugged the usb cable, changed the config (Huawei phones / auto detect) ...
:-(

Hello. If you enter firmware update mode, then it means you pressed the wrong combination of 3 buttons. You press VOL+, VOL- and Power button at the same time. Is it working?

i downloaded this driver and follow 100% instruction but driver cant install

Then uninstall all your phones drivers and install them again from the link.
If still not working - try other computer.

This driver is only fort fast boot mode, as I see from your previous post you make phone to update (firmware update mode) and try to install drivers. Thats why driver does not fit you.

HERE is right solution to get phone U8160 readable in DC-unlocker software:

Press power shortly AND after 1-3 second press AND KEEP power, volume UP and volume down wait in this position 10 seconds,
release buttons and connect phone to PC.
Android 1.0 appear in down right corner.
Now you can instal drivers from "PULSE" directory that you allready downloaded.

Have discover it on my own. NOone know how to explain it clarly.

Solution is good :

Hello!

Unfortunately, I have some problems too unlocking the U8160 (actually the Vodafone 858).
The driver is installed, and once I got the dc-unlocker software to find a Huawei phone. But as it was detected as "U8150" and I wasn't not sure if that is correct, I once again turned the phone off.
Now, whenever I'm pushing the three buttons it gets into "firmware updating" mode and shows an error:
-----
Firmware update
Step 1/2
Unpacking
Update failed
-----
THEN the phone hangs, but is not recognized by windows; the battery must be removed to turn it off.

So, how can I get the phone to hang "correctly"? I am absolutely sure I am pressing the right buttons, as 1) it once worked and 2) the combination vol +, vol - and power on is described as the method for firmware update (seen at modaco).

When removing the sd card and pressing the three buttons, the phone isn't starting at all. It only shows a screen with kind of purple color, neither really frozen, nor alive. ;( (Win 7 doesn't recognize the phone then.)

I tought there were some erraneous files on the sd card, so I formated it. But then again only the firmware update mode (with error) comes up.

Firmware is V17 (German - hence my bad English *g*) but I didn't find any newer firmware.

Could anyone out there be so kind and help me - where to get newer firmware or getting behind the firmware update error mode.

Thanks in advance!

What the ....?! Actually, it is soooo simple.
Referring to my problem with the "firmware update error" while pressing vol +, vol - and power on buttons, I have found the solution:
Just press vol - and power on, then the phone will freeze, connect it to the computer, start dc-unlock, press find phone, buy some credits, press unlock, wait 5-10 seconds. Done.

It seems, sometimes it's just not good to press the vol + button. Only vol - and power on.

Great software, thanks!

Yes, you are right. Last time you entered firmware update mode, not fast boot, thats why you were unable to detect.
