Okay, a general lecture that no one will adhere to.

If you read through this thread (or any custom ROM thread for that matter) you will see lots of folks who WANT, very few who GIVE. I have seen major custom ROM threads locked because of the continual burden of folks who WANT.

Take it for what it is or go elsewhere. No dev here.

I have unsubscribed from this thread and will not be monitoring it further. I wish all well.

Simple Rooting Directions Request

Would you be able to post the step-by-step rooting instructions for the huawei summit again? I am not technologically savvy at all, so the fewer tech terms, and simpler the instructions, the better.

Ihave been stuck with this (dumb-smart) phone, and only became aware of this rooting option through this forum. I saw your above post, and it seems you did this successfully... I went back to post #10 which was mentioned to have the instructions, but it seems the directions have been edited out.

Also, now that a few years passed since you did this, have you experienced any difficulty with your phone due to rooting it? Did it seem that it installed any viruses?

Thank you in advance for your help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 820light:
guess i'll reroot

i went back to the stock rom, no more root. but i need the memory. and with the forced closes you cant overclock. will be upgrading phone sooner than later! and just to think, yesterday i knew nothing about any of this. this is a great forum.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
yes, XDA rocks!!!

you should be able to root it w/o losing memory. just boot to recovery and "apply update from SDcard"

Please tell me if that doesn't root the stock rom. (so others will know not to try it.) This is step 5 in both From the Beginning, and The Procedure. Then you can load an app like App Quarantine(quarantine = freeze for that app)(free) and

freeze

(as opposed to deleting) the annoying T-Mobile apps.

since im a noob, i went all the way back. i was kinda hoping i would get lucky and get access to the cm system but no such luck. maybe someone will update the update soon. i think its for a different phone but its compatible to an extent with ours. just happy this little phone isnt bricked! thanks a bunch!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Okay, since you didn't say anything about it, I will assume you did not follow any of my instructions.

can you boot into recovery? from power off: volup+poweron held for at least 12 secs brings you to the recovery screen

Tell me what displays then.

remove the battery for 10 seconds and then put it back in.

Okay, in this thread go to my post #10.

Go to "The Procedure" (it's cool to read everything from the top down to that.)

Do my step1 and download the files (if this works, you'll need them).

You can'd do step 2 since you can't boot into your phone.

Do step 3 put phone into fastboot mode voldn+poweron held for at least 15 secs is the fastboot screen. Yes, I understand yours is a black screen.

Now connect your phone to your computer via USB and then open Device Manager and look for your phone. If you can't see it, unplug and replug the phone and look for a change.

Let me know how far you get.

i did what yu said i have the files downloaded but nothing happens on the driver manager,there isnt even a chime to say its conneced,if i take the battery out it recognizes it as "tmobile technologies" so i dont know what that means but it cant install the driver software,and the recovery.bat file wont read it it just says waiting for device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Rats. I was hoping that some sort of device would show up in Device Mgr. like a yellow exclamation point. Then you could get a driver off the internet, and then it wouldn't say "waiting for device".

When it recognizes it as tmo tech, does that show a yellow exclamation point in Dev Mgr?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikuxwolf:
yeah it has it but i cant install the drivers,i went looking through the device manager and found the add legacy hardware tab and it has the android sooner signal thing you mentioned that its looking for in step 3 but it says it may not work right,should i just google the file and download it

System App Oppps!

After rooting my prism I decided to clear up some internal memory space by moving my system apps to my SD card manually by using root file explorer. After I copied and pasted into my SD card I deleted the apps off the internal memory. Well that didn’t work to well for me.... my phone started having pop-up windows saying error. I turned it off and tried to reboot it but it is stuck in a loop now. I can't turn it on to recovery mode because of mod manager app. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Pull the battery, pull the SD card, and see if you can boot to recovery.

Never do move to SD card manually - there are apps for that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Don't know.

It is clear you have destroyed the ROM, and probably destroyed Recovery.

You can try going back to my post #10 in this thread, step 4, and reflashing the Recovery. If you can't, I have no answer. The lesson learned, hopefully, is that when you mess with root, and especially the directory structure, you can easily lose your phone. Bummer, I know.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mccarar:
Thanks for the info. I gave up and just got me a new one and rooted it.. i need a rooted androids for dummies..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
LOL - there probably is one.

Obviously be very careful what you put into the root directory. I limit myself to copying in a notification ringtone, and saving and copying in a meon game setting for a kind of backup. Back when I was in to moving apps to the SD card I used aaron's 18 tools thing. That is helpful on the prism where memory is so tight. There are other apps that will do it, but be careful. Any app that uses root permissions can brick your phone...

i use TitaniumBackup free and "root browser lite". I do very little with actual "root" stuff. I just wanted to be able to flash recoverys and roms.

Be well!

Unlock huawei

So you are saying installing the cm7 rom will unlock the network code ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
What's "the network code"?

The $15 or so I paid for an unlock code allows the phone to accept foreign (non-tmo in this case) SIMs and allows you to flash roms. The roms you flash are usually unlocked and rooted within themselves. You need to be rooted to flash recovery and a rom. some roms come with their own recovery, but not this one. You need ClockWorkMod recovery to flash a rom.

If that doesn't make sense, look at my post #10 in this thread - each step requires the previous step.

If that doesn't make sense, holler, but I'm not sure I can help... :D

What kind of apps and settings have you guys installed on your phones to make it better/ more efficient?

I currently have juice defender for battery saving and system tuner -upped the mhz to 600 and 480 to speed it up a bit.

Anyone customize the startup to speed up their phone? Which startup apps are ok to freeze or diable to speed things up?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Never did much. use Aaron's Android assistant 18 tools thing just to check. On another phone I have found Opera Mini to be the lowest in data use. As to freezing, i use system tuner free on another phone (haven't tried it on the 8651), and freeze things like google play, but I'm striving for real low use and using airVoice $10/mo plan(at&t so no faster than 250kbps), so I even cut off contacts sync, while leaving gmail sync. Just playing - They're toys, after all!!! Remember, if you freeze the wrong thing you'll have to re-flash the whole thing. EDIT: My current thinking is that Onavo is the best data tracker - tells you who's using data.

It seems the same except the internal memory has been expanded to 512mb which is good as the Prism is tight on memory.
