All your current settings and apps will be gone after flashing a ROOT rom, only the content within Internal SD will be kept, so backup somewhere first.
If you must keep your current apps and settings.. read post #12
==============================================================
You need a Linux environment to do the following... (read #2 if you know windows only)
1. First of All, download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0
2. Unzip it, you'll have a folder "dload"
3. Extract the file" system.img.ext4" from the Update.zip
4. Copy the "system.img.ext4" into your Linux Environment..
5. mount the image file like these...
#mkdir /mnt/tmp
#mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /mnt/tmp
6. put the "superuser" binary into the path /mnt/tmp/xbin
#cp su /mnt/tmp/xbin
7. Assgin the correct permission to the su binary
#chmod 6755 /mnt/tmp/xbin/su
8. Unmount the path and copy the system.img.ext4 into the original Update.zip
#umount /mnt/tmp
9. Put the "dload" folder into the root directory of a Micro-SD
10. Power Up your mediapad, when it vibrates, press and hold Volume Down until you see the Android icon, and it will try to flash the new ROM.
11. After everything is done, Look for Super User from Market, you'll see.

==============================================================
1. Download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwid...ctId=3779&tb=0
2. Download a "system.img.ext4" file which already contain the su binary
OLD: http://www.multiupload.com/0WPLQILCGH (114.73MB) (from ROM dated 26 Nov 2011)
NEW: http://www.multiupload.com/OV7QJ27TGT (118.26MB) (from ROM dated 9 JAN 2012 )
!!! ALL I did to these files was putting the su binary, nothing else I have modify.
!!! If you still feel unsafe, just follow how I did in post #1 by yourself
3. Replace the "system.img.ext4" file in update.zip from Huawei with the one you downloaded in step 2.
4. Copy the "dload" folder into the root directionary of the micro-SD
the folder should contain "unlmt.cfg" and "update.zip"
5. Power off your mediapad, insert the micro-SD then Power ON again.
6. Follow the screen, when it finish.. remove the micro-SD
7. Look for the SuperUser app from android market, DONE.
You have the latest ROM with root now.
====================
Alternate TRICKY METHOD:
====================
Flashing only the "system.img.ext4" into your mediapad directly via fastboot would kept your current DATA and Apps untouched.
NOT recommended for production, as Huawei updates things other than the system, so flashing only the "system.img.ext4" may lose those updates !
BUT this method could give you a chance to make a backup via titanium before flashing the new ROM completely.
To activate fastboot mode of mediapad..
1. Power OFF, and connect your mediapad to your Computer with USB cable.
2. Power ON the mediapad with Volume Up button pressed and hold until your computer sense it. (install the correct driver..)
3. Put all fastboot files(attached below as zip) and the "system.img.ext4" in the same folder.
4. Open up a DOS promp, go to the path you have those files and type...
fastboot flash system system.img.ext4
5. Check your mediapad, when it done reboot your mediapad.. DONE

although I do not know what's the use of thanks meter
With root access, do you know if it causes any problems to uninstall some bloatware (i.e, blockbuster app, Lets Golf 2, Blio, Qello, etc)?
Also, are there any ROMs available for the Springboard/mediapad?
some tips:
1) some distribution of linux may have "read-only filesystem" problem when cp su to mounted system.img.ext4. try it on older linux kernel distribution.
fedora16,ubuntu 11,mint 12.. have this problem.but fedora13,mint 10 is ok.

MediaPad root and keeping APPs and Settings
TRICKY METHOD to keep current Apps and Settings.
For important data, please copy it out of your mediapad before continues...
==========
How it works
==========
Flashing only the "system.img.ext4" would update your system path
and keeping your current apps and settings untouch.
Backup your apps and settings after you gain root access.
Flash again the whole root ROM after the backup.
Restore all stuffs after the 2nd Flash.
============
Steps to Follow
============
1a. Download a "system.img.ext4" file which already contain the su binary
OLD: http://www.multiupload.com/0WPLQILCGH (114.73MB) (from ROM dated 26 Nov 2011)
NEW: http://www.multiupload.com/OV7QJ27TGT (118.26MB) (from ROM dated 9 JAN 2012 )
OR
1b. Make your own "system.img.ext4" file like post #1 mentioned.
2. Activate fastboot mode of mediapad by
Power OFF, and connect your mediapad to your Computer with USB cable.
2. Power ON the mediapad with Volume Up button pressed and hold until your computer sense it. (install the correct driver..)
3. Put all fastboot files(attached below as zip) and the "system.img.ext4" in the same folder.
4. Open up a DOS promp, go to the path you have those files and type...
fastboot flash system system.img.ext4
5. Check your mediapad, when it done reboot your mediapad..
6. Install SuperUser app from market, install Titanium Backup.
7. Make full backup in titanium, all those backup files will be kept in Internal SD, which it will not be touched when flashing the 2nd time.
8. Download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0
9. Replace the "system.img.ext4" file in update.zip from Huawei with the one you downloaded/made in step 1.
10. Copy the "dload" folder into the root directionary of the micro-SD
the folder should contain "unlmt.cfg" and "update.zip"
11. Power off your mediapad, insert the micro-SD then Power ON again.
12. Follow the screen, when it finish.. remove the micro-SD
13. Look for the SuperUser app and Titanium backup from android market again.
14. RESTORE everything from the Titanium backup
(!! make sure you have selected "RESTORE", not BACKUP, it's easy to mix up!!)
15. You have now the complete updated and rooted system together with your previous apps and settings.
I would appreciate you're patient enough to go through all these steps..
if you like this post, please click THANK YOU
although I still don't know what's the use for that thanks meter..
After checking the time stamp and file size of all files inside the ROM dated 21 JAN 2012
I confirm the ROM dated 21 JAN 2012 is identical to the ROM dated 9 JAN 2012
If you have already flashed the 9 JAN 2012, you're already using the latest version.

Does anyone know why Ubuntu 11 mounts the system.img.ext4 in a strange form of rw ? I've been over this again and again. I've run up Linux Mint 10 on usb and mounted it successfully but it makes no sense that Ubuntu does the same. There must be something odd with the newer linux kernel causing this problem but nobody seems to know why. It seems crazy to have to run up an old OS just to mess about with an ext4 filesystem.
Any ideas ????
Does it support *loop device* ???

Help!!
i been surfing the internet trying to find a way of how i can root my device. so far ive had on luck. i have tried gingerbreak but i don't think this has even worked. does anyone have any ideas of how you could root this particular device. if you have any suggestions or know how you can, i would be very grateful.
HOWTO - root PMP5080B
There is a way to root the tablet.
But it it does not root the runnning version, it roots the update image.
So if don't have the most actual firmware try this:
(maybe you can flash the firmware even it is not newer, but i don't know how)
Todo (Windows PC necessary):
At first load the latest firmware and unzip it:
h t t p : / / w w w .prestigio.com/info/product/downloads?NODE_ID=61101103718510974&ITEM=110706112617507776
Download the Wendal tool:
h t t p s :/ / docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B8h...RjZjFmODdiZTQ1
Then follow this steps:
1. Unzip the Wendal tool, you get a folder named "RK29xxImagetools_v2.1".
2. copy the update.img from Prestigio firmware download in the "RK29xxImagetools_v2.1" folder and rename the file to "wendal.img"
3. start "Runme.bat"
4. press "1", you get the message that you have to rename your file. Since you have already done this before proceed. The batch file starts, make sure you dont see any errors.
5. press "2" followed by "Enter". The rootet image will be created automatically
6. end the programm with "3"
7. in the "RK29xxImagetools_v2.1" you will find a file named "wendal-new.img", copy it to your SD card and rename it to "update.img".
8. put your SD card in your tablet, you will get a message to update your firmware
9. the tablet reboots, flashes the new firmware
10. be happy with your root access
Still having problems.
i have done what you said for me to do but when i rename the firmware to "wendal.img" and run it for some reason it keeps saying i haven't put the firmware in the folder when i have. do you know what how you can sort this out.
cheers
Did you unzip the firmware download?
Tried, tested & confirmed working
Just like to note that the software used will give you a warning about placing the update.img in the correct folder and renaming it even when it has already been done. You just have to press enter!
I have 5080B and i want to root it, but on ICS stock rom. Problem is, i cannot use wendal tools cause it can't add su and superuser.apk into /system ("no such directory") and even earlier i used to root gingerbread with these tools it is half-root - /system not rw, but superuser works
i saw update 2.0.2 from prestigio, pre-rooted, but i want to root this, newest version, 2.0.3
i have linux setup running and i tried mounting system.img but i can only add su, and nothing else cause there's no space...
also, how do i boot recovery from the device itself? i tried vol- and power key but there is an image of an 'destroyed' Android bot, no options there at all
Same problem - want root on Prestigio PMP 5080B
Just got a Prestigio PMP5080B running ICS 4 and want to root the tablet. I read from the preceding message that thhe method discussed here doesn't seem to work with it. Any ideas would be most welcomed here too.
By the way Hi!

Here I'm posting how to convert .kdz file into a Flashable zip file, The list of files you needed are
Official kdz file
kdz extractor
LGwinTools
ext2explore
Cygwin (If you are a windows user) from here
dsixda's kitchen This Thread
1. Extract the kdz extractor to the new folder, just drag and drop the kdz file to the unpack_kdz.bat. You will find the .cab file in the same directory where you have kdz.
2. Drag and drop the cab file to unpack_cab.bat. The dz file will be extracted to /dz folder in the same directory.
3. Now extract and open LGwinTools file->open locate the dz file. Items will be displayed in bin files, now click on save to any new folder.
4. We need two files SYSTEM and APPS. Extract and run ext2explore then locate the SYSTEM file, it will load. Now click on save to any new directory(make sure the folder name is system)
5. Now rename the file APPS to "boot.img" (you have extracted from LGwinTools)
6. Make an archive .zip containing \system boot.img \META-INF(attached below)
6 Next process will be installing "Cygwin" read this
7. Installing dsixda's Kitchen read this
8. After you installation you have move the created zip file to \kitchen\original_update (In my case it is "C:\Cygwin\home\Santhoosh\Kitchen\original_update")
9. Run Cygwin
Code:
cd kitchen
./menu
10. Setup working folder and go to Advanced option select "Deodex files in your rom" MAKE SURE YOU SET THE API LEVEL TO 19 and choose both system and framework
11. After this "Rename the app folder in /system to app1" "priv-app to app" in WORKING Directory
12. Now again go for Deodex and deodex the remaining files. after completion rename app to priv-app and app1 to app.
13. Make sure the updator-script is untouched
14. Do zip align(optional) and make any other changes you want.
15. Remove unnecessary app like GooglePlus etc. Remove the Qtranslator and Polarisviewer apk and odex files.
Note: After Deodexing the LG Keyboard will not work, Remove it and add any other keyboard to app folder.
16. Now move to working folder and make a zip file of all. (/system /META-INF boot.img)
17. FLASH IT :laugh::laugh:
18. To Gain root access you have to download this and flash SU
I tried to unpack kdz file, but the programm (unpack_kdz.bat) didn't work. The text in a window is : "Error! LGExtract.exe is not internal or external command, programm or batch file". Why did this error happened? I use windows 7 x64
explains better.. please no root l7 ii p715 kitkat 4.4.2 ....

Hi all recently purchased the Mecool KM8 P 2GB/16GB S912 Amlogic, updated the firmware to 7.1 but lost root access. I have managed to find some instructions on a Russian website to root the stock firmware but can't make head nor tale of it and don't want to brick the device.
The google translate version of the instructions reads as follows:

1. Create a texfile with this content:
BOOTIMAGE = /dev/block/boot
If I am not mistaken then this file should be saved wit the name .SuperSU and no extension.
2. Copy this file and the Supersu.zip onto a SD with a working TWRP recovery.
3. The file .SuperSu is now to be copied into the system folder - it does not specify if the one from the box or the one from the recovery is used - I assume the one on the box. But needs to be tested to be sure.
4. Without ending the recovery session go back and install install SuperSu.
Thing is you need a recovery that works with Nougat to do any of this.
But then again translators suck and someone capable of reading russing could bring some light on it....
Managed to get it to work. Steps in common English are as follows:
To get root on Android 7.1:
1. Create a text file (eg in Notepad) and name it Supersu without an ending .txt with the folowing text BOOTIMAGE = / dev / block / boot
2. On a microsd card copy Recovery.img (TWRP 7), the created SuperSu file (from step 1) and SuperSU.zip (5.63 MB)
3. Insert the card into Boax and boot into Recovery.
4. Using theTWRP recovery got to Advanced" then "File Manager" find the created Supersu file (from step 1) and copy it into the folder / system.
5. Without leaving the Recovery go to "Install" and flash SuperSU.zip (5.63 MB) from the Microsd card

I think you uploaded the wrong file, as the zip file you uploaded only contain one file (km8p), which has no file extension (it is probably a .zip file).
However it is missing the other files you are talking about, so could you upload the right files?
Thanks for the effort!

I attached the TWRP for Android 7 here, if you still need it.
I have also started a thread on how to root with Magisk instead of supersu, as supersu wouldn't work for me.

Hello everyone
I hope somebody can help me. I have a Huawei y6 scc-u21 that I need to fix. I have downloaded a firmware flash file to reflash the phone however, after doing so, I found that the gapps are not installed. I tried to download and install every update but still I did not have gapps installed.
Also, I noticed that after flashing and everytime I do a factory reset, the phone would not prompt me to a setup process and just automatically goes to the normal interface. Some settings are missing too.
Please help. Without GAPPS this phone is basically useless. Doesn't even get a signal even though a SIM card is inserted.
Thanks.
I had the same problem.. here is what i do to solve it:
1- download u21 cm2 backup file from here:
http://www.mobilekse.com/2018/09/huawei-y6-scc-u2131-all-file-firmware.html?m=1
2. Extract it with 7zip.
3 download an sd card update "update.app".
4. install the update with sd card.
5- extract the file with "huawei update extractor" and get "BOOT.img" , "ABOOT.img" and "CUST.img" rename them to lowercase and put them to the folder of the first firmware of step 1/
6- open qfil, select flat buit, select the programmer path from the firmware folder then select from the top: tools then partition manager.
7- select boot.img partition and with a right click select manage partition.
8- choose the boot.img extracted and replaced.
9- do the same for aboot.img and cust.img
10- the phone will exit this dump mode and you will find playstore, keyboard, notfications..
Ask me if you found anything not clear
