I'm predicting 8/1/2011
anyone bets bets? 5 dollars on June 23
I think it'll be a lot quicker than that.. Probably even before July. All the great Evo devs are switching to the 3VO says myn.
it will either be really quick or quite a while.
June 26th
This way they have a weekend to work on it.

If I had it rooted I'd post some proof without actually giving away the way it was rooted.

READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY SEE POST TWO FOR FAQ OR SEARCH THE THREAD.
Presenting the ONE AND ONLY surefire root method that backs up your RSA KEYS prior to rooting !!!!
Also I am aware that unrevoked has out their new tool. However while I was sitting in IRC, I saw many that it wasnt working for. So Until there is a surefire, easy method, I will keep this thread updated.
Credit goes to:
amoamare (Initial method)
toast (fake recovery and script)
unrevoked (thanks for your app)

Disclaimer and well a little fun:
This has been tested on many phones and it worked fine...but if it breaks your **** dont come cry to me about it...you knew the risks! No one here is responsible if you break, brick, set fire, punch, smash, stab, destroy, your self, computer or your phone. The only person responsible is you! Just because it worked for me and others does not mean it will for you. Anytime you flash something its a risk.
Ladies and gentlemen... I've traveled over half our forum to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because I had a POST coming in and I had to see about it. That phone is now rooted at and running well. I have two others comming in and this method has rooted many on the board. So, ladies and gentlemen... if I say my guide works you will agree. You have a great chance here, but bear in mind, you can lose it all if you're not careful.
Out of all methods that beg for a chance to root your phone, maybe one in twenty will work; the rest will be trolls-that's posters trying to get between you and the guide-to get some of the root action that ought by rights come to you. Even if you find one that has a simpler guide, and means to root, he'll maybe know nothing about helping. This is... the way that this works. This method is reliable like no other in this field and that's because its been tested and tested time and time again. I assure you, whatever the others promise to do, when it comes to the showdown, they won't be there...

Prerequsites:
Extract only the main zip file to a folder of your choice. I recommend the root of C:\ into a folder of your choice or on the desktop. Make sure you have the drivers installed for your phone (recommended: SDK Drivers or unrevoked hboot drivers) and USB debugging is on. This was setup for people running windows, if you have access to it do it on a 32bit version. I can't stress this enough you must use the adb.exe included with the package This is command line based do NOT double click the exe. Assume nothing, and cut and paste or type the commands EXACTLY as listed, they are case sensitive and each line is a seperate command. Oh and Read the FAQ and Warnings for f-sakes
1) Connect your phone to the computer (Rear USB Port Perferred) make sure the computer detects the phone (DO NOT MOUNT USB) If it doesnt install the drivers. Now master Reset your Phone (Menu>settings>Sd & Phone Storage>Factory Data Reset). Your phone will reboot. While your phone is rebooting it ctrl+alt+delete on your computer and open up task manager and click the processes tab look for anything that says adb.exe click it and hit end process.
2) Your phone should be booted and in the rom. You can skip the setup. On your phone enable install applications from unknown sources.(menu>settings>applications>unknown sources) and turn on usb debugging.
3) Open a command prompt (do NOT click adb.exe) and change to where ever you extracted the files to.
4)Type the following (this must be excuted from the folder you extracted to)
adb push root/unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/
adb push root/mtd-eng.img /sdcard/
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-ENG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-MR.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip
adb push root/flash_image /data/local/
5) Now were gonna install z4root. When its done look at your phone z4root should be running. Select temporary root... It will go thru the process will eventually come to a white screen *Wait* after a sec or so screen will come up saying temp root was a success. Ok so now type the following
adb -d install -r root/z4root.apk
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.z4mod.z4root/com.z4mod.z4root.z4root
6) Your command should still be open and you should be in the directory where you extracted the files. Once you have typed "su" command below look at your phone and click allow for SuperUser...Ok so now type the following from the command prompt
adb shell
su
6A) REQUIRED RSA BACKUP This will back up your RSA keys just in case something goes wrong in that department. You should still be in your command window inside the shell with a #. (The following came from this thread)
mkdir -p /sdcard/nandroid/RSA-PR-BACKUP
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/nandroid/RSA-PR-BACKUP/wimax.img
This saves it in a file that can actually be restored. This next step is another type of backup just for good measure
busybox sed -n '/BEGIN CERTIFICATE/,$p' /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/rsa_OEM.key
This will dump the RSA keys to a text file on your SD Card named rsa_OEM.key
Mine was about 4575 KB in size, but the size could vary. Go ahead and switch the phone's USB connection over to "Disk Drive" and then browse to your SD Card and verify that the file rsa_OEM.key is indeed on the card.
Proceed to Step 7
7) You Should still be at a "#". This means you have root if you see a "$" or some other error message. Reboot your phone, check your drivers, usb debugging and cable and start over. If you got a "#" You can Proceed. You should still be in the shell at a "#" If not start over...Otherwise
chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image
./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
sync
8) Now we are going to reboot your phone into the boot loader to flash the first PC36IMG.zip. You should still be in the shell So Type:
reboot bootloader
9) Once your phone is in the boot loader highlight bootloader, and press the power button. It will load the PC36IMG File...When it ask you to flash press VOL-UP. You will notice that it says bootloader bypassed and maybe some other errors. Dont worry this is normal. Once the flash of the file is done it will ask to reboot, Select NO by Pressing VOL-DOWN. Now some people have gotten some errors here and there during the flashing just continue as normal.
10) You should still be in the boot loader at this point. Scroll down to recovery and press the power button. It Should take you to a red triangle. If not and you get stuck at a white htc screen pull the battery and then repower the phone with power + vol down and select recovery. When you see the red triangle. Type the following (IF YOU GET STUCK HERE CHECK THE FAQ):
adb push recovery /
adb shell busybox --install /sbin
adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &
With any luck you should be at a recovery (green screen with text)
11) Select enable USB-MS. This will mount your sdcard. Look in the root of your sdcard and you should have two files. One named PC36IMG.zip and one named PC36IMG-MR.zip. Rename the file named PC36IMG.zip to PC36IMG-ENG.zip and then rename PC36IMG-MR.zip to PC36IMG.zip when your done follow the instructions on your phone to disable usb (press power) then proceed to step 12
12) Now Select flash zip from the menu and choose unrevoked-forever.zip. Wait for it to complete. Select Reboot from the menu.
Now pay attention. It might kick you back into:
BOOT LOADER: See 12A
ROM: See 12B
WHITE HTC SCREEN: See 12C
12A) Ok so you got kicked to the boot loader. It should scan your card and find the PC36IMG.zip chose yes to flash this file and when it ask you to reboot....reboot by pressing vol-up....Proceed to step 13
12B) Ok so the phone booted into a rom. Power the phone off. Then repower the phone on pressing power and vol-down at the same time. It should take you into the bootloader and scan your card and find the PC36IMG.zip chose yes to flash this file and when it ask you to reboot....reboot by pressing vol-up....Proceed to step 13
12C) Ok so the phone is stuck at a white htc screen. Power the phone off by pulling the battery. Then repower the phone on pressing power and vol-down at the same time. It should take you into the bootloader and scan your card and find the PC36IMG.zip chose yes to flash this file and when it ask you to reboot....reboot by pressing vol-up....Proceed to step 13
13) Ok your phone is rooted now, and you should be inside the rom. The rom you just flashed is Sprint Lovers rom with the modified recovery. Download a rom of your choice copy it to the root of your sd card and flash it. But type the following first
adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip
adb reboot recovery
14) You Should be in the recovery menu now (green text screen). Do a backup by navigating to backup/restore press power to select then do a Nand backup in the next menu. Once thats done, select return, then reboot or flash a rom of your choice. If you flashed a different custom rom than the one thats included in the package cool. If not no big deal eitherway. Do a PRL/Profile update while in the rom after the phone is done rebooting. Your Done.
15) Read the FAQ for questions

ok, I've looked everywhere else but I haven't been able to find the answer. My friend was trying to put gingerbread on his atrix 4g (att) and the battery died halfway through. Now we borrowed a charged battery from a friend and now when ever we turn it on it says
SVF 105:1:2
failed to boot 0x1000
then waits a few seconds then flashes "starting hv flash recovery" then turns off. The hv part might be wrong. But no matter what I press the device will not go into usb bootloader for me to put a new sbf on
any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time
so you can't get into fastboot mode either?
How were you installing gingerbread?

if you can only get into NVFlash mode, then i'm pretty sure that you're not gonna be able to fix it. i don't believe we have the nvidia flashing tools needed to get past this option.

so what your telling me, is that under no circumstance, at all. there is no way to ever fix this phone. ever, in a million years. there is no way to force the phone into bootloader?
yea you need to charge the battery outside the phone then check the dev section there is a program just fir your situation!
A soft brick, in this case, is when you make a bad edit to your framework files and the phone won't fully boot and starts flashing a red LED at you.
There is one catch, you only get about 1-2min to do all of this before the phone reboots on its own. If that happens, do SuperOneClick steps again and continue where you left off. Better yet, build a script to do it all for you 
Power off your device
Enter Fastboot:
Hold Volume down + power until you see Fastboot at the top left
Use volume down to scroll down to "Early USB Enumeration" (only shows one item at a time, if you pass it, keep going down, up selects)
Press Volume up to select
Wait for ADB to enable, run "Shell Root" from SuperOneClick, wait until it says you have root.
Enter adb shell from command line, You should have root(#) access:
adb shell
Mount the system directory as read/write:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
Make a new directory on /data for your recovery files: (sdcard wont be mounted yet)
mkdir /data/recover
Exit adb shell:
exit
Push your known working files to the new directory:
adb push /path/to/local/file.ext /data/recovery
Enter adb shell from command line:
adb shell
Copy your newly pushed recovery files to their proper location:
cp /data/recover/services.jar /system/framework
cp /data/recover/framework.jar /system/framework
cp /data/recover/famework-res.apk /system/framework
Reboot:

Hello all,
I have been trying to downgrade my Flyer (wi-fi Best Buy version) by using the procedure provided by our awesome helper and mentor, globatron. The procedure is titled as [Procedure]No HTC unlock HC-GB downgrade for official HC OTA and found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428104.
I have gone through all 13 pages on that thread to find out if anyone has a problem I am having. But it appears no one had the same problem. As a new user, I was not allowed to post a question on that particular thread. So here I am....
Here is the procedure/instruction from the posting I mentioned above.
Procedure
1. Check the version number for your gingerbread RUU
In my example I am using this RUU: RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.08 9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.exe
The version is the part highlighted in red.
2. Boot your flyer up to android if it's not already on, with usb debugging enabled and connect it to the PC.
3. Run the following adb commands
adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local/
adb push misc_version /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.bin
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --setup
At this point your device will reboot to recovery
4. Simultaneously press Volume Up, Volume Down and Power
5. Reboot your device
6. Run the following command
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --root
* Your device will reboot, do not worry if it does not boot fully, it doesn't matter for this procedure, and it is a side effect of this root exploit.
7. Run the following command:
adb shell /data/local/misc_version -s 2.00.405.3
* Note that the number in RED is the version number retrieved in step 1.
8. Reboot to fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
I could not move forward after 8, I will not post the steps from 9 to 11.
Here we go.... I have two troubles.
First, I am not sure of the timing of "pressing Volume Up, Volume, Down, and Power." Is it something I should do manually? If so, when should I do it. It seems like the Flyer automatically re-boots itself into "Recovery" without me forcing it.
As it is going into the "Recovery," there were two images popped up in a row. The first one looks like a SD disc, which moved quickly moved to the next image. The second image is a tablet with a red triangle, which has a exclamation sign in it.
THEN the procedure STOPS at the second image.
That is my first question. Does anyone have any idea of what's possibly going on?
My second starts here as well.
After not moving on, I decided to manually reboot the Flyer so I can move on to the Step 7.
Somehow I can pass the Step 7. But at Step 8, I got the message saying "Error: Device not found." So I tried "fastboot getvar cid" to see if the tablet is really not connected. But weirdly, the "fastboot getvar cid" worked. But I still get the same error message (device not found) whenever I run the code at step 8.
This is it. There are my two questions.
As I went through all 13 pages, many people were able to go through the procedure without any problem. Having those problem and taking considerable amount time to figure our what's going on and still not successful make me feel pretty stupid and extremely frustrated. Please someone put me out of this horrible misery.
I love my Flyer. But I am starting to understand why many of my friends paid a lot more $$$ to get their iPad.
Not sure what went wrong, but you could try doing step 8 manually. Hold volume down and power for roughly 10 seconds, you should get into the H-boot screen. Press the power button once on Fastboot ( its the first option) use the volume keys to navigate to "reboot bootlader" use power key to select it.
Thanks, but didn't work.

I tried it. But, I am still having that "error: device not found" message.
Thanks for your advice though. I clicked "Thanks."
still getting the same image

Somehow the thread doesn't allow me to edit my own reply.
Anyway, I still end up with the tablet image with the red triangle, which has a exclamation sign (!) in it. I was afraid of bricking my Flyer and stopped trying anything further.
Try with DEBUG turned OFF althow stated ON. Worked for me like that when i was runing revolutionary. I coudnt make it work then just out of curiositiy i switched and it worked.

Edit: If anyone has a link to the stock ROM for the Ascend G7, please let me know. I would love to make a custom ROM that doesn't take up 98% of all resources 99% of the time.
Hello everyone.
Before I get started, here is everything you need to know about this post.
- This root works as of June 29, 2015
- This is a rooting process for the Huawei Ascend G7
- I did not make this, so please consider supporting all mentioned sources
- I am a new user to XDA, but I've been developing for over a decade. I will regularly check this post if enough people who view it have questions
There are two parts to this process.
First, we unlock the bootloader
Second, we flash a recovery, and subsequently, SU (root)
Let's get started. This will take at least 16 hours. User interaction 5 minutes, and about a 16 hour wait for an email response from Huawei.
Also, I have a new account, so I cannot post links. So please bear with me. I will upload photos in as best order as I can.
Before we get started, please note that your phone will factory reset in this process.
First thing's first. The Ascend G7 requires an unlocked bootloader, before any root can take place. This is obviously temporary, until someone finds a circumvention. But for now, this is how this needs to be done.
Send an email to [email protected], with this format:
Dear Sir/Madam
Please may I request the bootloader unlock code for my Huawei Ascend G7?
Here are some Details:
Serial Number: (Found under Settings --> About phone --> Status)
IMEI: (Found under Settings --> About phone --> Status)
Baseband version: (Found under Settings --> About phone)
Please could you send me the code directly, as I cannot access the product ID on my device.
Thank You
Your name
This part is important. Sometimes, they do not even reply to your email(s). It is recommended - nay, required - for you to put "URGENT" in the subject field of the email. Something along the lines of "URGENT Request Bootloader Unlock Code." It would also be best if you mark your email as urgent/high priority, as well.
Meanwhile, while you wait for the email from them with your unlock code, (expect it to arrive the day after), download the Android SDK and the Java JDK, if you haven't already. What you need most are the SDK tools, which you can also download by typing in "SDK tools android" in Google and finding a download for the stand-alone tools.
Make sure Android Studio is updated, if you already have it. To make sure you have everything you need, open up command prompt in platform-tools, by holding shift and right clicking somewhere on the white, in the folder, (explained in attached picture).
Then, plug in your phone. Make sure USB debugging is enabled. To do so, go to Settings --> About phone --> Tap "Build Number" 7 times in a row. Then go back, and you will see "Developer options." Click on that, and enable USB debugging. Also, this optional, but I like to enable the "Stay Awake" function.
Make sure to accept any prompts that your phone will ask.
Then, go to the command prompt and type in "adb devices" without the quotations.
If you've done everything correctly so far, you should see something similar to the attached command prompt image file.
If everything checks out, let's proceed. If not, post below, and I, or fellow XDA users, will help you out.
Proceed to type in, "adb reboot bootloader" without the quotations, into the command prompt window that you opened. Your Ascend G7 should reboot into fastboot, where you will see something like the attached picture below, of the bootloader screen.
Except, it will say Phone Locked instead of Phone Unlocked.
Now, go back to your command line, and type in "fastboot reboot," to have access to your phone and its functions, while you wait for the email from Huawei.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Everything below this line should be done AFTER receiving a reply email from Huawei, with your unlock code.
Now, download the "PHILZ-TOUCH-6.rar" file. I cannot attach it here because it exceed file size limit. No virus, no surveys, here's the link, https/goo.gl/sxPv7I. Just add a colon and a forward slash after https. It is not a virus, in case your firewall or antivirus software brings up red flags. I will post the whole ZIP that I've downloaded from another website. There's a bunch of redundant elements in the folder, but just in case you know what you're doing and might need the tools, I'll keep them there. But all you will need are 2 things from the folder. They're mentioned next.
Go to where you extracted PHILZ to, and hold shift and right click and open a command window in that directory, and type in "adb devices" one more time to make sure your device is listed and connected. Then, type in "adb reboot bootloader," give it a second, and then when fastboot loads up, type in,
fastboot oem unlock 123456789123
Replace "123456789123" with the unlock code provided to you from the Huawei email. Give it a second, and then you should be good. It should now say "Phone Unlocked" in red. Now, type
"fastboot reboot"
in the command line (that was opened in the PHILZ folder), without quotations. Then type,
adb reboot bootloader, one more time, and then,
Navigate to the PHILZ folder, and run "install-windows.bat" as administrator, if using Windows.
If using Linux, run "Install-Linux.sh," and if using a Mac, run "Install-Max.sh"
Now, in CMD type,
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then, again type in
fastboot reboot
Your phone will reboot.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Aaaaaaand that's it! You should now be rooted. I recommend going to play store, and downloading a Root Checker to ascertain root access.
The last picture, where it says I have root access now, is a program called Root Genius. It's a one click tool to root any android device - obviously except the Ascend G7, (knowing my luck). But it does work as a root checker as well, if you want to ascertain root access. You can also download Root Checker from the play store; works more or less the same way.
Any questions, feel free to ask. Re-reading this, I could see if the instructions bring confusion to some. I will be glad to clarify any questions.
Works
Root confirmed G7-L01
some point that I did not understood
dear wertywhy,
your guide is really well done, but there are some points not clear to me
1) open up command prompt in platform-tools
what is platform-tools? A specific folder? I was not able to find it
2) if I open the command prompt from any forlder using the shift+right button as you said and then write adb devices I get this message:
'adb' is not recognized as in internal or external command operable progrma or batch file. What should I do?
3) when I connect the phone by usb cable, should I do something more (like enabling device file manager, pc suite or other options) or just connect it in charge only mode?
thank you for your time!
and... by the way, I'm really impressed that I got the anwer from Huawei with the code, that's really cool! Thank you!!

I found the platform-tools folder, now if I type adb devices from a prompt open from that folder I don't get the error message anymore, but I get nothing, just the flashing prompt line (the huawei phone is on and usb connected to pc)
dear wertywhy,
your guide is really well done, but there are some points not clear to me
1) I had to install hi-suite to let the command adb work (before that adb was not finding the phone)
2) the file names of adb inside PHILZ_TOUCH is adb-windows and fastboot is fastboot-windows
3) when I input the command adb-windows devices inside the prompt inside the PHILZ folder the result is device offline, I could unlock the phone running the command from platform-tools directory (phone is unlocked now) but I can't run the command to root the phone until I have this "device offline"
Point 1 and 2 are not problem, just something that happened to me, but point 3 is stopping me, any idea how to solve point 3?

I'm having the same problem. I tried toggling usb debugging off and back on, tried another usb port and another PC (WIN 7 and 8) but none of that helped.

Hi Frank,
Let's troubleshoot,
If it lists your device as offline, open up cmd (Run --> cmd), and type in,
taskkill /f /im adb.exe
Then, restart your G7; when it boots up, turn off and then on USB debugging, then find PHILZ, and retry point 3. If device is still offline, please let me know. The issue sounds like it's within the phone, not within ADB.
Alternatively, if that doesn't work, please delete PHILZ off your computer, and wherever it says "PHILZ" in my guide, replace it with the attached folder, (attached with this reply).
Cheers
PS, please make sure to check that your phone is not only in USB debugging mode, but that you've approved/allowed your computer access to your phone, (a prompt will show up on the Ascend G7 that asks you whether or not you trust your PC). And also make sure your phone isn't just set to "charge" when plugged in - activate/select MTP when you connect your phone to computer.

Please refer to my reply to Frankleoni below.
Thank you for replying chy_vak,
I tried your solution in both the PHILZ folder and the new folder you attached. The device shows offline in both of them. However in the build-tools folder it shows online. The command line taskkill /f /im adb.exe terminated adb but the device still shows offline. I did everything in the exact order you wrote.
offline

Another Working Method to Root Huawei Ascend G7-L01/L03
Greetings!
I got an Ascend G7 Recently and I needed to Root it as soon as I got it. That's why I kind of broke my head looking for the current methods to do it. I found this one very promising so I started working. I followed the steps that were given to us one by one. Everything was alright until I tried to install the Windos-Installer.bat as administrator, I tried to many ways to this method work, but as much as I tried, I couldn't go with it, that's why I started working for 11 hours until I got it. This Worked for me, and I want to share it with you.
Please read the following notes before you start by rooting your device:
-As usually, do it at your own risk, I'm not responsable of any brick, or issue that damaged your device.
-This Method is working great on Windows 10
-This Method is working at 04/08/2015
-This Method, was tried by me, the directions I give to you, are based on my work by rooting my device and my experience, the software and files included were made and posted by someone else including the person who wrote this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...-confirmed-t3125621/post61122491#post61122491
-You can find screenshots of the procedure below
-You will need a microSD
-I strongly recommend you to have at least 80% of battery to avoid risks of bricks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here begins the directions:
1.- As has been said, you will need to unlock your device bootloader in order to root your phone. So as they said, you will need to write an email to Huawei. The mail you will send should look like this:
To: [email protected],
[email protected]
Subject: (URGENT) Unlock Bootloader
Model: Huawei G7-L03/L01 (Depends on your version)
Serial Number: (The one that comes in your Huawei's box)
IMEI: (You can get it on your box or in the info included on Configuration->About the phone->State
Product ID: (You can get it by typing on the Dial the next code: *#*#1357946#*#*)
I appreciate your concern of reading this. Waiting for a response.
Sincerely: (Your name)
After a while (Could take between 15 minutes and 16 hours depending on their time) A Huawei worker will answer you something like this:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for supporting Huawei device. My working number is ****. Your unlock code :************** , please keeping your unlock code properly.Thank you!
Huawei Terminal Company limited
1.1.- (OPTIONAL) As we are going to unlock the bootloader, we are going to make a factory reset, so I strongly recomend you to make a backup with the official huawei backup app in order to restore our settings, apps, and files.
1.2.- Once Again, as has been said, you will need to download the whole Android suite (Android Studio) the last version, update your java version, and download the last drivers for your device (A good way to do the last is by installing the HiSuite of Huawei).
1.3.- You need to activate the debug mode. You can find it in: Configuration->Developer Options->USB Debug (If you dont have the Developer options enabled, you have to go to Configuration->About the phone->Compilation And tap this last one 7 times)
2.- Download the .rar a the end of the page and extract it where you want, includes everything we are going to need. [You must put the file ''superuser.zip'' on your microSD (In the root of the microSD)]. After Downloading it, you must open a cmd window, running it as administrator. After that you will write:
cd (Here you should paste the ubication of your extracted File Ex: C:\Users\Josh\Downloads\Root Ascend G7)
Now you are in this ubication that includes adb. Write:
adb devices
You should see: List of devices attached, a code and the word device (There is a capture below). If you do, we can proceed.
3.- Type :
adb reboot bootloader
It should load a white page with the Android pet and the words FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE Below there is the phrase ''PHONE LOCKED'' in color. Now type:
fastboot oem unlock *********** (The code Huawei gave to you)
Now your phone will make a factory reset. You will see how it reboots by itself and back to the default settings. You will need to activate the debug USB mode again. By this point its supposed your bootloader is now unlocked, to probe it, we will type again:
adb devices (To check it is correctly plugged)
Then we will type:
adb reboot bootloader
And now at the end of the page it should say: ''PHONE UNLOCKED''. If you do, we can proceed.
4.- At this point, you have two options: You can replace your stock recovery mode by a ClockWorkMod Recovery (I strongly recomend you to do that) or you can just ROOT the phone whithout replacing your stock recovery.
If you decided by replacing your stock recovery follow the next directions: We still have our CMD window opened and running adb while the phone it is on the bootloader mode. So now what you have to do it's to type:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryP.img (CMD will work and show a few commands)
And after that type:
fastboot reboot
Your phone will reboot again normally and we can proceed.
If you decided not to replace your stock recovery instead of typing ''fastboot flash recovery recoveryP.img'' you have to type:
fastboot boot recoveryP.img (This will send you directly to CWM recovery)
5.- You must acces to CWM Recovery.
If you installed it on your phone, turn off your device and then press the power button and vol+ until the Huawei logo appears, you should be in the recovery mode by now.
If you didn't install it, you already are in CWM recovery.
6.- With the vol and power buttons or the touch buttons at the end you should be able to navigate on the recovery. We go to:
Advanced Functions->Re-root System (SuperSu)->Yes-Apply SuperSu (You will see a few code at the end of the screen)
7.- Without leaving the recovery mode, go to the main screen and now we go to:
Install Zip->Choose zip from /sdcard->superuser.zip (The one that you previously putted on your microSD)->Yes-Install superuser.zip
(You will see again a few code at the end of the page) We go back to the main screen and Select:
Reboot System now
8.- It's supposed we are ROOT now. At first you will see the ''superuser'' app installed. To probe that works, Install ''android-terminal-emulator-1-0-70-multi-android.apk'' that it is included on the folder ''Terminal'' form the file you downloaded. Now open a new terminal window and type
su (If everything worked, superuser will ask for permissions)
8.1.- Restore your data with the Huawei Backup App
And that is all we have superuser acces now. If you have any question or issue let me know and I will help you.

Hi,

Please some one Help....
Huawei Ascend G7 L03
thanks for the translated philz touch
Hello everyone, I have a big problem with a Huawei G7. I did Philz Touch and Root. How can I go back to stock rom?
I've emailed Huawei 3 times now, left a week in between emails, and still haven't received my unlock code. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks

Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to flash twrp on the phone ? I've tried different things but it never works
any other method exept this email method? they wont answer me.
Hey, I'm french so if I do mistake, it's normal, sorry
Here is a way to root this Wiko, finally!
Before doing this, i want to say that me, XDA or nobody exept you is responsible of what you can do on your phone, this method work for me, surely for you, but this operation will delete all your data, so remember to backup your data.
Now, you Have to go to Developper options, enable "OEM Unlocking", "USB Debugging" and disable "Verify apps over USB"
After, set "Select USB Configuration" to MTP. After That, download file (https://mega.nz/#!ioBQDZra!z6ntj85aM-mjg4dnscPaPBjvd-qpSY9HQiDkKuYbxcU) and extract it
Connect your phone to your Computer, Copy and Paste the SuperSU zip file in your SD card, and reboot your phone in fastboot mode (shutdown, and boot it by pressing Power and Vol+, then, when you have a choice between recovery and fastboot, select fastboot by clicking Vol-)
Open a command prompt in the extracted file, and type: fastboot oem unlock
Here, all your data will be lost by a factory reset.
When the phone restart, in the command prompt, type:
adb root
adb shell
cat /proc/partitions
ls -l /dev/block/platform/soc/7825900.sdhci/by-name/ (7825900.sdhci may be different, so use tab to find the correct file)
in the list, you will have a file with "recovery -> /dev/block/XXX" (XXX may be like mmcblk0p22)
cat /dev/block/XXX > /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
exit
adb pull /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "CUSTOM recovery.img"
fastboot reboot
if there is no problems, you phone restart normally, so stop it, and boot to the recovery (Power and Vol+ and whene the choice appear, Select recovery with Vol+)
if your phone don't want to boot to the TWRP recovery, try to flash the stock recovery, reboot and flash again the custom one. if the problem persist, leave a comment.
In TWRP, swipe the button, and go to Install, Up a level, select external_sd and then, select the SuperSU file, select "Reboot after installation is complete, and swipe to flash.
When it's done, install or not the TWRP app, and reboot. The device can start twice before finally boot, and can be longer than usual, but don't do anything, it's normal.
When the phone finally boot, SuperSU may be installed, so go check if it's true, and if it is, go to the play store and install BusyBox (by Stephen (Stericson))
After the installation is complete, open it, and click install.
If there is no problem, the root acces will be request, so accept it and all is done.
If you have a problem, or any question, ask me.

Do you have an error message ? Or something else ?
Oh, well, it figured my way out! First SU installation, the phone isn't rooted (I don't know why, either). But I factory reset the phone, set the phone up, then go to TWRP and re-install SU and it worked. Now the phone is rooted!
Thank you very much for your guide and files.
By the way, I guess most people will get stuck at "adb root" command.
Simply dial *#*#84666364#*#* (this launches TinnoEngineerMode)
- go to "Tinno Debug Feature"
- tap on "persist.tinno.debug" and choose 1
Then you can go on with "adb root" command
Hope this helps!

On latest wiko view update, tinoo debug feature was gone, we can't use adb root again after update
guys where i can download official rom for the wiko view 2 and extract?
ola and in french plz ?
don´t work on my wiko view 32GB
please help me to root my wiko view 32gb+3gb. i place fastboot oem unlock in pront comand i see waiting for device, and nothing. please creat a apk our anything for root
Would it work on k-Kool ?
We'll this sounds horrifying, just to get root permission, you have to accept to get rid of all your data and parms ? It must be another way.
I'll explain my real need for rooting my Wiko k-Kool. I bought a 64GB SD card, to be used normally as external storage, not for apps install. However I want to be able to backup my phone onto that card, just in case. I use Helium to backup my data without needing root (uses internally adb) ! However non-rooted Helium as a 3d party application has no permission to write to the SD card ! The reason I want to root is just to give Helium the permission to wirte into a backup directory.
Therefore I dont want to put my data at risk just to get root permission, but found no other way to change heliums permissions.
Thanks for any help.
