This is my first post, so be patient please. (Not normally a poster, just a lurker)
Alright, so I have had an Australian (I live in Australia) $129 Optus Huawei G-510-200 phone for almost a year now, and I tried rooting about 6 or so months ago. And Failed.
It didn't do anything bad, didn't brick, but did wipe my SD card. I just pasted the files back on and I was good, but a little scared. At the time I had lookout security installed, but I have since removed it. Now that my warranty is well and truly over, I thought it would be a good idea to try again at root.
Apparantly new users cannot post links, so I will just have to provide a Google search query instead... (Results should be at the top)
There seems to be 3 ways to do it.
1: Cydia Impactor
2: The one I tried last time that has no name but uses batch files and wizardry. Search: "how to root huawei ascend g510-200 theunlockr"
3: Kingo-Root Search: "Easy method how to Root Huawei G510 and G300" on YouTube (Again, should be at the top)
Sorry for the sniffling, this one might work, but no unrooting procedure was shown.
Now, some people say you have to unlock the bootloader, but others don't mention it at all... (For both methods)
And will either of these root methods wipe either or both storage's (SD or Internal)?
Also, one of my games (one I paid money for) says some users had trouble using it with a rooted phone, if I wish to play the game again, is there an un-root procedure?
Cydia Impactor or Kingo root seems easier and simpler.
Moderators: If I posted in the wrong place can you move me please?
And yes, I have done a decent amount of googlingering...
Oh, and can I install apps as per normal from the play store after root?
Extra info:
Underneath the battery (in the tray) is has the following:
MAC:509F278467FD
S/N:U6V7NC93A2601810
(Then a barcode)
IMEI:868496019652230
(Then another barcode)
Thanks!, I look forward to a reply and a Non-Bricked Device!
After a frustrating and 'Wheel of Death' week, caused by the horrible Samsung Note 3 (my first and last SAMSUNG ever - can't really understand the hipe) I felt suddenly bought the relatively new Huawei GR 3. Several websites praise it as one of top medium smartphones.
I needed to root the Huawei, since all my apps + sys settings were with a Titanium Backup.
With the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, I used the super easy 'Towelroot app', but with the GR3 Towelroot didn't work .
I found the 'old' way with USB cable, a PC (switched to mac 10 years ago)and Olin etc. - too complicated.
Back to google and found this website with KingRoot to be found at cyberspaceandtime(dot)com
using
the new KingRoot App, I assume similar Towelroot
Then super easy, enable 'Install from unknown sources' in your settings, download the KingRoot..apk file to your Huawei, install and your phone is rooted.
To prove that your phone is rooted, you DL the 'SuperUser SU' app from Google Play and get the confirmation that your phone has root access. No cables, and done in less than 30min.
And by the way, I tried first to restore my apps and system settings with Titanium free version but after 5min non stop 'Ok' pressing, I organized the PRO version, which is with $6.02 not cheap, but worth every penny.
If you are short on cash, then you can download the Lucky Patcher for the Titanium to become the Pro version . Very important to update the general patch and the Titanium specific patch before you try to crack the app.
(to be found on NetBew(dot)com
Cheers from the Blackduck :highfive:
This is the Huawei WATCH forum, you need to find a forum for your phone!
There isn't any forum for this phone
Is this support GR 3 model number PAR-LA1
Hi,
I've spent whole day yesterday on trying to set the gps spoofing on Poco with a little success - i was able to trick google maps etc but still had that "Failed to detect location (12)" error.
I followed up the guide for root users done all the needed things with smali installation etc.
Only step that i haven't tryied so far was downgrade of google services which i could not find any working guide for :/
Can someone suggest some steps?
Hey you
which version of smali patcher do you use and on which device, I have a one plus 7 with Android 10, I have the latest smali patcher version and uninstalled maps, and set the location to just gps.
Then it should work
Hi, I've recently took a chance on a well priced midrange smartphone from Cubot, namely the X30 with 8gb ram 256gb rom and stock Android 10.. or so it seems.
The only app installed that wasn't a Google app is an app called Wireless Update, which connects with com.adups.fota. After some research I found many articles from 2017 saying that this update app is actually malware which could do a whole manner of nefarious things without the users knowledge or permission.
According to Cubot it's just the app that they use to push OTA to devices.
I've been using the phone for a few days now and haven't had any problems *yet* but I'm very wary about adding my banking apps etc.
I've scanned with Malwarebytes which shows no problems, but I've read elsewhere that because it's a system app, av products overlook it..?
Does anybody know or have experience that can help me please? Should I/could I return the phone on the grounds that it's infected? The Wireless Update app is apparently on many lesser known devices, do do you own one? Is this a threat, or is it largely overblown?
I've currently got the app 'frozen' through the screen time limiting function on Android 10 (it's allowed zero seconds per day) and I've restricted its permissions too.
Would appreciate any help please people ?
Thanks

Hello man,
I' bought the 6/128 GB version instead of 8/256 GB 'cause I prefer to stock data in a Micro SD.
Anyway... At the moment, I've no info related to possible malware in the system, using Malwarebytes like u.
Just to inform u:
* TWRP recovery for Cubot X30 is already available (unofficial) BUT IT CANNOT MOUNT SYSTEM (so, no flash, no backup...)
* ROOT is already available for Cubot X30, u need simply to unlock bootloader and flash Magisk patched BOOT.IMG
:good:

Thanks for the info. I've been slowly (they've taken 12 days to reply) talking with Malwarebytes Antimalware through email about this. Here's their most recent reply.

Hello,
My name is Derek. I will be helping you with your ticket # 3252842.
We have seen an increase in Android devices coming with pre-installed malware. For additional information on this malware, please refer to our blog post provided below.
blog.malwarebytes com/cybercrime/2019/01/the-new-landscape-of-preinstalled-mobile-malware-malicious-code-within/
Due to the security within the Android OS by default system apps can not be removed by 3rd party apps including Malwarebytes.
I have provided some methods of removing or disabling system malware below:
- Disable the app – Can be done via Android Settings -> Apps -> bad app -> Force stop/disable or through adb command line. Which can be found on our forum at the link below.
This will prevent the app and any associated services from running.

Note: Proceed at your own risk! I, nor Malwarebytes, can guarantee this will not damage your mobile device. Uninstalling system apps have the potential to permanently damage your device, rendering it unusable.
- Root your device and uninstall the malicious apps. Usually reserved for advanced users. I can't recommend rooting because of the potential for damaging phone, and doing so is at your own risk.
- Install different, trusted, ROM to replace the infected one. Usually reserved for advanced users, this requires your device is rooted, please do at your own risk.
- Return device where purchased.
I wish there were more options but where Android's openness and built-in security collide; openness, anyone can flash a device with a custom ROM, security, you can't uninstall system apps.
Kind regards,
Derek S. | Malwarebytes Support | support.malwarebytes.com"
I've sent them info through the app about all the installed apps etc but they seem to have just written me a generic reply, linking to an old fix for Android 6... I've asked for more info and will update their replies here
Hopefully someone from XDA will be able to help too.
P.S. I've had to remove a dot from the links they sent, as this is a new XDA account and I can't post links yet.
Wireless update, malware, bloatware.
I brought a Homtom 17 pro about 4years ago and I'm using it to send this reply, the app in question is indeed Malware as my phone came with it pre-installed, but here's the catch it doesn't kick in until either 6 or 12 months after the phone being activated and then it starts to install bloateware , e.g random apps called setting or other named apps you wouldn't look at twice and think they have always been there (popup ads), it communicates with China? Or that global area. It's been along time since I researched this so the country may differ. When I found this out I instantly installed Adguard to prevent Wireless update + some other system apps from communicating with the web and I have had no problems since. Obviously you can go down the roots Malware bytes said but you could brick your phone or root it, and many official apps nowadays don't like rooted phones. I hope this helps and sorry for the long reply.

Very good to know that there is already a root method. I created an account just to ask for your help. Can you give me more details? I've tried everything.

Thank you for this piece of information.
Hello folks,
do you have experience with the root of the A72? I can hardly find any information about it. There seems to be no custom-rom for the A72. Background is, from the A72 all Google Apps and services should be taken down. Is that possible?
Do you have tips or links for me?
The last rooting and flashing of a custom-rom was a few years ago (Nexus 4 ;o) )
Thank you...
Soon
Hello, hopefully soon, having same issue ...
You can use Multi-Tool for huawei. Tab: Modifications. Using adb method, can easly remove any app via name of package. For google play store is: com.android.vending. For example use link2sd to find package name for apps
Hello, I have forgot the pattern lock and dunno how to hard reset it. Opened the ColorOS recovery but when I want to wipe pattern is asked. There is a way to do that? thanks
