Trying to root, hitting roadblocks. - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So here's the deal, I'm with AT&T and attempting to root my X10.
I've tried SuperOneClick to absolutely no avail, it looped RATC, I did the debug off/on/off method and it hung at the end. Tried it several more times with the same outcome and eventually gave up on it.
Next method is trying to sideload UniversalAndrood using the Sideload Wonder Machine.
The problem I'm getting with SWM is that it isn't recognizing my phone. The area showing List of Devices Attached is blank.
I've got the Android SDK installed, I'm running windows 7, so USB drivers shouldn't be a problem from everything I've read, but even still I've uninstalled em using USBDeview and had windows reinstall them automatically. USB debugging has been on the whole time, and I don't think it's ADB issues seeing as the SDK is fully updated.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'm tired of sitting on 1.6.

Let me clarify. I'm on 1.6 trying to update to 2.1. I'm trying to root 1.6 and can't seem to get it. It appears as though you're both directing me towards how to root on 2.1, but if I'm mistaken, please correct me.

Just download z4root, its been taken away from the market, but you should be able to find the apk via Google fairly easily.

since your on 1.6 i suppose you could try x10root, google it and download, worked for me, however im on orange in the UK

2.1 Root Method

ROOT achieved for 2.1 FW.
Sometimes the first method isn't always the best:
*edit*
A new app has appeared on the market called "z4root". This seems to root in one click.
Details are here.
Install this from the Market, press Root and you're away.
Old Methodm should it still be required:
This requires you to have 2.1 already (either Nordic, or other generic, or using Bin4ry's flashtool version here.
instructions and files as below.

Download the SuperOneClick (files attached) or original post here

Updated Superoneclick version 1.5.4
v1.5.4
Fixed superuser install issue
Added a prompt to tell you to allow superuser on your phone, for the test.
Fixed unroot.
It can take a while to ROOT - looks as though it is stuck in a loop. I thought it wasnt working but waited about 10mins and it worked.
If you wait longer and it still doesn't work, try untick/retick USB debug while it's running
Hey Presto - ROOT !
Thanks CVCHETAN for adding the attachments & tidying it up.. it was late
Remember you will probably want Busybox too - click Problems from within Titanium to download.
NOTE: If you're having no luck with this, it seems the PDANet client might install different drivers which help the process. If you're struggling this might be worth a try. Also ticking Unknown Applications allows it to send the SuperUser.apk has reported to help some users.
PdaNet Client is here.
Pre-requisites not mentioned in this post:
Working 2.1 X10
Drivers must be installed for X10 Debug mode - try adb manually to check
Some virus checkers might flag these files - this is because an exploit can be a security risk, but 100% virus free
You run this all on your PC - it connects to your phone and roots it from there.
Doesnt work for me, get failed! No ~~FU GOO~~ or something
Tried different versions of the app
Hmmm Barnacle isn't working quite as expected (even after setting athwlan0), but Titanium is definitely giving root...
will post a pic in a bit, have another x10 to update / root first
None of them work for me.

i didnt need to swap any files..
i downloaded the package on that link, it looked like it was stuck in a loop but i left it 10mins came back and it said worked.
only difference is that first time i did shell root - then i did a proper root afterwards, not sure if this makes a difference
very happy here..
Thanks mate!
thread moved to dev section and stickied..
should also say i had to download busybox in titanium.. click problems on the front screen.
Veryyyy happy.. not only is it rooted now but I get very slight credit for it.
If you've got the loop leave it running, about to do another handset now so will see whats different
Still cant get it to work, can anyone who got this to work write a step by step please?
it's very easy
you yust start the exe click on root now it tooks al very long times
(<10 mins) and in this time the programm try very often to root the device
then a message come up
and your device is rooted
I'm getting "Waiting for device..."
make sure you've got USB debugging turned on
after installing 2.1 it will default to off
It's turning on.

Walkthrough for rooting LG Phoenix(P505)/Thrive(P506)...The easy way

This walk through assumes you are starting with a stock unaltered Pheonix/Thrive (Froyo 2.2.1) or you have upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.4 using LG's utility. I have tested both of these methods on my Phoenix but I have not tested it on the Thrive, so mileage may vary, use at your own discretion. If you brick your phone (unlikely) its your fault not mine.
Gingerbreak for Froyo (2.2.x)
1. First you will need to be able to load non-market APKs you have two options to do this.
A) Update your phone to the latest version Froyo 2.2.2 (some people have had some issues check the thread on that).
B) Go to your dialer, type 3845#*505#[Phoenix] or "3845#*506#"[Thrive] then scroll down to "Unknown Sources Test" and check the box
2. Download the APK from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1303829207
(I emailed the link to myself to make it so I didnt have to browse to it)
Note* it i will yell about not knowing what to do with that kind of download but just ignore it and download it anyways
3. Use a file explore (I used ES file Explore) to search for the newly downloaded APK I'm sure someone out there knows exactly where it downloads to but I couldn't find it easily though I can tell you its on the SDcard.
4. Run the APK
5. Turn on USB Debug mode (Settings>Application>Development)
6. Go to your Apps and run Gingerbreak
7. Click the root button
8. Let the phone do its thing (it will reboot)
9. Reboot the phone manually to make sure the root took and you didn't end up with a temp root
If all went well you have a fully rooted phone.
Here is the link to the original XDA site I recommend reading it over (at least the first post) so you understand what is going on.
[26.04.2011][v1.2] GingerBreak APK (root for GingerBread) - xda-developers
If anyone notices an issue with any of the steps here please let me know and I will update them.
Also thanks go to kingv10 for pointing out the secrete code for us.
Superone click for Gingerbread 2.3.4
This method will probably work both gingerbread and froyo but I have not tested it on Froyo. The orginal post I copied from can be found at:
http://www.blogotechblog.com/2012/02...3-gingerbread/
I recommend you read the page but for those of you who won't here is the rundown on how to root.
1. Connect your phone to the PC with USB Debugging enabled. You can enable it by going to Settings>Applications>Development and ensure that USB Debugging is checked. You will need to have installed the USB drivers for your phone. You should already have these if you upgraded to 2.3.4.
2. Download the rooting zip package and extract the contents to a folder in your PC. Let the folder be named as “root”
http://tinyurl.com/6v5fhu2
3. In the extracted folder, go to ADB folder and start cmd7.exe (for Windows 7 users) or cmdxp.exe (for Windows XP users). You need to run as Administrator.
4. In Command Prompt, type the following commands:
adb devices
adb shell
Now the symbol should change to “$” or “#”.
Enter the following command
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
5. Reboot your phone.
6. Go to the "root" folder again and run Superoneclick.exe
7. In Superone click, find the methods drop down box (right side), select Gingerbreak and then click the Root button.
8. Reboot again
Now you should be rooted

Just for the record here I would have given you credit for your post if had I even read it before now. This write-up came about mainly from posts on androidcentral.com and general searching from google about rooting. Had I known that your post was out there I would have used it and sighted to it but at the time I initially posted this how-to I did not have any idea regarding the secret code and had to wait for my phone to get the update to 2.2.2 so that I could run programs from unknown sources. You may have shared similar information at a similar time but I didn't not get my information from your post, I wish I had it would have made life easier.

Huawei Mediapad / T-Mobile Springboard Discussion

It looks like we have to move our discussion here, so I went ahead and started a thread.
As of now, there is root for the mediapad, but the only way to root the springboard is by flashing it with a rooted mediapad cust.img - which gives you root but loses your 4g.
So for us Springboard users, we either need root or a way to get 4g back if flashing it as a mediapad. Anybody with thoughts or leads or any know-how?
Finally,
Special room for Huawei Media Pad created,
Thanks to TS
I'm very glad,
Now i'm waiting the master in here to modified this device
cause i still newbie
Actually I Prefer The 3G More THan The 4G For Some Reason I Felt 4G Wasnt Stable Enough....So Im Enjoiying My Mediapad In 3G More Than My Springboard In 4G......
from the other thread, Rumbi wrote:
Yap, only thing you have to do is install Superuser and Busybox from Market and copy "su" from /hwcust/oversea_hk/preload/fixed/bin/ to /system/xbin (e.g. with ES File Explorer with root and r/w enabled), and you are ready to go
I've installed SU & BusyBox. I cannot move the SU file over to /system/xbin. A message tells me that I am not root.
However, when I run Root Check Basic I am told I have root.
I ran Root Check before & after I installed S7-301u V100R001C232B012(Root_version) and Root Check said I did not have root.
So the real question is, How do I really know if I have root?
*****
Actually I installed BusyBox Installer. I'm asked to pick a version to install:
1.19.3
1.19.2
1.18.5
1.18.4
1.17.1
None of these will install.
I also have the option to install a "Custom Tune" is there one? I'd gladly pay for BusyBox pro to get BusyBox running
*******
I powered off the device. Put my sdCard back in (the rooted firmware was removed from it). Then installed the SuperUser update from the market.
Ran that - it said everything was OK. Then I forced it to update - it crashed - so I force closed it. I then realized I could not run the original SuperUser app anymore.
Next, I opened up Root Explorer and was able to move the su file over to the xbin. But now BusyBox is not acting right - It said that it was having problems installing, and I'd need to reflash (or reload - I can't recall) the rom.
I'm rebooting, and going to try to install BusyBox....to be clear on which BusyBox..it's this one:
https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInN0ZXJpY3Nvbi5idXN5Ym94Il0.
*****
Just realized in Root Explorer, to tap the little gray box at the top. After you tap it it should read "Mount R/O"
Now you can long press a folder/file and change the read/write permission.
Rumbi,
You said to r/w enabled the su file....is that check ALL the boxes?...Read, Write, Execute Special?????
IIRC, i had some problems with busybox, too. Copy the file from the attachment to /system/xbin and try the installer again.
And i said to enable r/w support for the /system folder. There are two checkboxes in ES File Explorer. First checkbox is enable root permission for ES File Explorer and second checkbox is "Mount / and /system writable".
Now you should be able to copy whatever file you want to /system/xbin. That's how i have done it. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. I'll try to explain.
PS. You don't ne to alter file permissions of the su-binary but mine are "rwx r-x r-x".
Rumbi, how do you feel about the High resloution mode, does it slow the tablet down? Have you had a chance to use any tegra 2 devices and if so how does the mediapad with the snapdragon compare when in standerd/high-res mode?
Nothing to complain about the Hi-Res-Mode but i don't have any Tegra2-Devices to compare, sorry.
Haven't tried any games in hi-res-mode but normal usage is just fine.
Thanks. Ill try this out. When i try to install busybox it hangs first, then i force close and run again. Then i get the message about reflashing Rom. But i know i have root. I installed connectbot and ran su and got #
Heres how i got root (im away from my pc right now so i try to be as accurate as possible) :
Installed Hauwei modified rom (its the one that says "(root) " in the file name.
Installed Root explorer
Installed Superuser
Install busybox
Install Connectbot
Put my microsd back in (with the firmware AKA dloa folder removed)
I could not get root explorer to allow rw permissions until i slid the sd card out and back in whil the device was on.
Then i ran connectbot as local and typed su hit enter then superuser popped up asking fo allow connectbot to access. Hit allow an type su hit enter an you should get # This took 3 reinstalls of the firmware to work wjthout errors. The first times resulted in superuser needing to be force closed.
I also ran superuser and went into settings and updated it eventhouh its not neede. There i got a read out saying that busybox is not installed, but it does say i have root.

Good, that you have worked it out now What exactly do you want to do? To get to the hidden menu, you have to open the calculator and type: ()()2846579()()=
To edit the XML-Files, you have to extract the cust.img... But now that you have root, yo can edit whatever is available via root explorer
€dit: To get 4G working again, maybe with someone with an original Springboard (not a flashed one) can copy the folder /system/lib/. This should be possible even without root. I think it has something to do with the ril-files...
after updating my mediapad to S301uV100R001C232B012, i have problem with 2x Client (RDP client) now, few second after conecting to rdp session, is app 2X client crashing, with error 2x Client has stopped unexpectedly (process com.tux.client), is here anybody with this problem? thanks...

On an off-root topic - How do you take a screen cap? I accidentally did it yesterday while my MediaPad was lagging, but don't know how I did it.
The Hi Suite that comes with the device can do this, but require a computer and usb hooked up. Useful, but not as practical as doing it from the tablet itself.
The *.so files are a bit like drivers for the internal components. I'll try to find differences between T-Mobile and Huawei so maybe we get 4G working again.

I'm not sure how to screencap. It's so easy on CM that I've gotten lazy. Plus I rarely do it. I know there are a ton of apps for that, tho. But you could probably google "gingerbread screen capture" and find a better answer. But not with gingerbread. I'm blanking on the name for this version of android.

Honeycomb
I've been Googling searches like that, and end up with actual screen shots of Honeycomb os..I'll keep looking...
Tried this (from here), but no luck:
Screen capture
Android natively supports the ability to capture a screenshot by method of pressing both the power and volume-down buttons at the same time on an Android device. This native support was first included within the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) update, which is first seen on the Galaxy Nexus smartphone.[86] Previously, Android did not feature native support for screen capturing which would have likely been due to security concerns. Furthermore, prior manufacturer and third-party customizations as well as using a PC connection (DDMS developer's tool) were the only known methods of capturing a screenshot on Android.
I've looked through the *.so files and many of them are exactly the same, but some are different. One file caught my interest. I've attached it here for anyone who wants to try. Please only use it, if you have a T-Mobile Springboard with flashed root Firmware. Copy the content of the zip-file to /system/lib and overwrite the existing file. But make a backup first! After copying you have to set the correct file permission (rw- r-- r--) and reboot the tab. Hopefully 4G works again with this little trick.

AirDroid is a fast, free app that lets you wirelessly manage & control your Android device from a web browser Over-The-Air. Just for anyone that wants to know.
I don't know if airdroid can copy all of your file to the desktop from your browser. But I don't know how the file system works for the android. So I wouldn't know if it can or is there a good place to read about the android file system? Wait I know I will google that. google is my friend.

Rooting Idea USA Tablet
Oh my, what a mess...
This post is in regards to the Idea USA Tablet (Unable to Root)
My specs:
- Idea USA Tablet (Made in China)
- Model Number: MID (Unknown)
- Android Version: 2.3
- Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
- Build Number: MID-userdebug 2.3 GRH55 (ENG)
Issues:
Whelp, I have tried the basics and I can't get this thing to root for anything. I was able to get it to hook into the PC through USB. There are 2 usb slots on the side of the tablet. I believe one is for HOST and the other usb is for OTG (Charging). Once I figured out the host port, then I had to download the drivers for this poorly made tablet...But, what drivers? You go to the Idea US website and you get no helpful information. So, there are no drivers made specifically for this $100 dollar generic tablet from FRY's. Ok... No big deal... So, I download the default "Android USB Drivers".
Peachy, it worked! Now, I can transfer files back and forth between the card(s). Wonderful, first step down, next step was to root. So, I read up on how to root with Super One Click.
Ok, so now, I set the tablet to "USB Storage" and "Host"...Then I download and run Super One Click.
Ok, I run the "Super One Click v.2.3.3"; by clicking the root button and then all I get is a frozen screen that reads:
Code:
Killing ADB Server.... Kill Server 0.11s
Starting ADB Server.... StartServer 4.09s * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037* *daemon started successfully*
And then it just freezes the program. So, now I'm completely stuck. I mean I learned a great deal, that I can hook up a keyboard, mouse, etc to this thing, but, obviously Super One Click was not designed for these generic tablets. I have read other articles which have suggested that the .inf driver for the default "Android USB Drivers" needs to be edited for your specific tablet model and you must enter the specific CODE# for it to recognize for rooting with Super One Click... But, god forbid, I haven't found any useful information on where that might be. Also, someone suggested to install the Android SDK and edit those files along with the .inf files to make this work. But, that didn't work either. I did everything right. I turned off USB debugging and then I would wait for super one click to come up with waiting for device...but that never happened. I even tried it with USB debugging on... still nothing.
Has anyone created a generic batch program to root these types of devices? What am I doing wrong here?
Since every tablet is different with different boot mangment. Makes it hard to make a generic root kit.. and being a frys computer salesman I try very hard to talk people out of those things unless. They swear they are only us8ing it for facebook

Rooting Idea USA Tablet
Well, this took me all night to read and learn about how to root this basic tablet from Fry's.
First off, I tried many different things and it just didn't work. Using super one click is definitely out of the question for this particular tablet.
I read all night and thankfully found the forum article on how to solve this issue on xdadevelopers own forum.
As per quoted quotes below:
.....You can use gingerbreak to root this. Run it once and let it reboot, then use supermanager free from market to rename the su symlink from /bin/ to "old" or something, and reboot again.
You should now have root ........ It might take a couple of trys but it works.
You need to download supermanager from the market. Enable root in supermanager settings and click yes when superuser pops up.
Then use the file explorer within supermanager to navigate to the /bin/ directory and you will find a sysmlink called su
You need to rename this su symlink to old - completely take out the name su.
Just to be safe run gingerbreak again and then you can install busybox from market.

Thank you so much Pablo11. The idea is to download the APK for GingerBreak from online onto your IDEA USA tablet directly. The trick here is that the brand name is IDEA "USA", but the real workings behind the "MID" is "ViMicro". You will notice that displayed as you turn on your tablet. So, in order to find real information about your MID device, you have to search articles for vimicro.
Once you run gingerbreak, your tablet will go completely nuts. Nothing will run right. Things will break and it will be a complete mess. It will however, install superuser apk. However, it will not work. You can download the Root Checker from the market and you will notice it is NOT rooted. So...thanks to pablo11, you will want to download supermanager from the google play market. Install it.
Next go into the supermanager settings and click on ROOT. Make sure root is enabled and checked marked in the settings. When you enable root in the settings, it will prompt you with "allow root?" Click on Yes. This will give you the access you need.
But, your not done, once again as per Pablo11, go to the super managers file manager section. Get to the root directory by clicking up, and then find the folder "bin". Look for the file "SU" and rename this to "old".
Now, you will be able install busybox and any thing else thats root.
By the way, restart your tablet again, and I "personally" recommend that you go into your settings> Privacy> Check mark both (Backup my data and Automatic Restore) and then click on Factory data reset. Start the tablet from like it was brand new. Don't worry it will keep the root that you did intact. You will just have to re-register the tablet with your existing gmail that you originally used with that tablet.
Lastly, use the root checker from the market and you will see that it is successfully rooted.
Okay... Now, my next step. To crack open this tablet and put in a bigger SD Card as the 2G SDCARD is way too small, especially if you want to use new roms and install a linux operating system onto it....
@njbsuperman story telling of Pablo11's method worked for me. I have a generic android 2.2 7 in. "MID" white box, picture of the tablet on each side all of that and it worked for me. Had to restart and run ginger break a couple times but I followed the directions and it worked.
Thanks for posting this, got this for my 6 yr old for his b-day and of course I gotta ****in tim allen it and I happened to stumble across your findings and your post you put up 2 days before the unwrap. Thanks...smoke blunts.
Using Unlock Root to Root IDeaUSA Tablet
I know that this thread is a few months old, but I thought that I'd share what I used to root my 7" IDeaUSA YG A777 Android Tablet. I used Unlock Root. It's a simple program that rooted my tablet in minutes with one click. This site won't let me insert links in posts (I'm new to this site), but you can find the program by typing "Unlock Root" into Google. It should be the first site that comes up.
Same here
Yes i used unlock root also and it worked for me/....
Rooting IdeaUSA CT-702

I have the CT-702 with Android 4.0.3 and can't get past the USB connecting to the storage devices. I can manipulate the files on the internal and external cards but any attempts to use the unlockroot package (from unlockroot.com which is full of adware) or other packages (z4root, ICS Root Unlocker 1.0) do not detect the device. There is a payware unlockroot package at unlockroot.org. Is this the package that works? Is there a no computer apk like gingerbreak (which fails) available or a procedure to get past the USB business.
is there a way to root the idea USA ct-705
I've recently purchased the CT-705 and been trying to find any information on rooting this device but all if have found are other people with the same problem can anyone help

any and all info is appreciated thanks
Another CT-705
@captinmudslide,
I'm in the same boat as you, in fact we must have bought them about the same time. I'm hoping that you are following this thread, and that you found something that works to root this beast. I 've been digging and trying any and everything I can find that works on other android devices. I was hoping that holding the power button and vol+ or vol- would get me somewhere. Vol+ at least gives me the dead robot, but can't do anything with it. Was hoping that if the adb server was running it would connect. Nope.
Anybody monitoring this thread, feel free to offer something that hasn't already been covered previously.
Thanks.

The idea is to download the APK for GingerBreak from online onto your IDEA USA tablet directly. The trick here is that the brand name is IDEA "USA", but the real workings behind the "MID" is "ViMicro". You will notice that displayed as you turn on your tablet. So, in order to find real information about your MID device, you have to search articles for vimicro.
Once you run gingerbreak, your tablet will go completely nuts.

Holy crap, I rooted the device.
If anyone needs this later, here's what I did:
Fist I pulled down SRS Root, Unlock Root, Gingerbreak and the generic Google USB drivers.
I went into the properties of the missing driver CT1006 and checked the hardware ID. I opened android_winusb.inf and added the lines:
;ProScan plt-7035
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&REV_0222&MI_01
under the headings of [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64].
I ran Gingerbreak a few times, per a thread I read, but the app would hang. I tried it 3 times.
Then, I went back to Device Manager and selected "Update Driver" and pointed to the .inf I edited earlier. I detached and reattached the device via USB to my PC and ran SRS Root, which still reported an error. Then I ran Unlock Root and the first time it said my device was already rooted, but I told it to root again. It did and my device rooted. I then looked in my apps and found SuperSU installed and was able to run Sixaxis Controller, which requires root to run, which confirmed root worked.
I don't know which step actually solved the issue, but hopefully if anyone has this issue in the future, they can figure that part out.

I've been able to root this tablet using Kingo ROOT, with the "latest_usb_driver" from Google (1/27/2014).
I have set:
c:\users\{USERNAME}\.android\adb_usb.ini
with the value: 0x2207
And have used the RK_DriverAssitant available online
It takes a lllllllloooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg time for my Windows 8.1 x64 to recognize it, but eventually it will show with:
c:\adt\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
Then run Kingo ROOT.

Root Huawei Y200 Succesfully (ENGLISH)

Hi, I've successfully rooted my phone. I have a Huawei Y200.it might be easier if you waited for OneClickRoot do be launched maybe they have the device listed for auto flashing that does everything for you.
OneClickRoot: ==> I can't post links sorry ..New User, please search on internet..
But anyway, here's the batch file I think I uploaded it..
So its easy once you root it, but WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL CLOCKWORK MODE AGAIN THROUGH ROM Manager OR ANY SOURCE. (this might bring you into bootloop)
follow steps to use the batch file...
1- You need to do this on your phone: Allow USB Debugging and STAY AWAKE Function, STOP fastboot mode. Now Install ADB Drivers when connecting phone into computer via usb and debugging mode is on (you'll see a drive usually green on your computer, check for "drivers" inside driver folders and install windows drivers.
2- You need to install Android SDK : ==> New User, Can't post links, Search Android SDK..
navigate to default download location: " C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools ", shift + right click inside the folder with nothing selected, and run command prompt from there. run following command "adb devices" and it should list a device number.
3- Now exctract the zip file in attachement and run these in order: -"adb.exe" then -"fastboot.exe" then -"root_v5.2.bat". It should say a succesfull message and ( as i remember) phone should reboot (if it states "reboot phone now" in cmd prompt). now you shoudl be rooted and see "SuperUser" application installed.
4- Check if you're properly rooted with a "rootchecker" market app. If App requested root access by SuperUser (ofcourse you'll tap Accept right?) and says you have proper root, you can now jump around and scream " I rooted my phone" like i did... You can now Install Link2sd app and enjoy free enternal storage since you've rooted your phone... Any Directions using Link2sd repost or you can search internet... One limitation is you can'r use swap (to increase your RAM ), and have to go through different ROM's. If rooted your phone succesfully please inform and on any questions about ROM switching...
Hi there.
The root process isn't so hard , bit the rom switch what would be important for me (not the method, i know that and i'we installed modified recovery its working...)
Went to hell and back @google to find any custom roms for this little fckr but besides the clean base rom and the ics por (whats not working for me) i could not find any other rom. Sorry my bad i have found one origonal stock rom too, bit besides theese do you know is there any other roms exists for u8655?
anyone try the above method?
is there anyone try the above method for English version?
An earlier version, on hungarian with english and german language included... worked perfect. Since 6 months.

This procedure is for CWM, not for root.The root phone you must copy superuser.signed 3.0.7 on memory card, and boot phone in cwm, and install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd card/superuser.signed3.0.7/yes, and reboot system now, when is proces for install zip over.Then your phone is rooted, you think because write ROOT_V5.0.2 it is for root-NO, this for install CWM.

Hi there
I did a research about this lock and i found a modified kernel what is capable of unlocking again the bootloader. (Claimed by the author, that it should solwe rhe issue)
Please tell me, since i did not upgraded the firmware due to the issue, could it be true?
Because i did not found any feedback from the users who tried it.
Can we count on another unlockibg method, or is this true that the bl can be unlocked via adb kerbel flash?
Thanks in advance.
I found an information on the german android-board
--> http://www.android-hilfe.de/huawei-ascend-y200-forum/414947-b898.html#post5670959
Fuchsteufel told us, that the recovery is working, but only with adb-commands, without any screen.
The solution is to flash an new version of the kernel and the cwm
