Dopi, Thanks for the usefull information. It really set my on the right track
- the bootloader of the T8950 is not locked, so it does not need to be unlocked.
- The T8950 does indeed not have a fastboot mode. the CWM custom recovery can be installed by flashing the ROM using the Flash tool of Mediatek
this is how I did it.
INSTALLING THE CMW CUSTOM RECOVERY TOOL

- SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1224.01 -->

ROOTING

INSTALLING THE GOOGLE SERVICES
------------------------------------------
Since the the CWM custom recovery tool is installed now and the phone is rooted, it's very simple to add the google services to the phone. I used the GAPPS of Cyanogen. You can find them on many places, e.g.

istallation is the same as installing the rooting ROM
