This is just a copy of the guide on myhuawei.net.

I did this because I had some trouble finding the guide since I always look for stuff like this here on XDA.

I also decided to do this because the guide was not in English and the translations by google were not so good. :)

Huawei Ascend Y201 Pro U8666​

Root + CWM Recovery​

I am not responsible for any damage you may do to your phone by following this guide.

The files you will need, download them and extract them to a folder on your desktop:

RootY201Pro.zip

UnlockBootloader.zip

Recovery.zip

(PS: Links removed, check post attachments)

- Now, get your phone and go to Settings > Developer Tools. Make sure USB debugging is enabled.

- Also disable Fastboot in Settings.

- Connect your phone to your computer via USB and let it install the drivers. Make sure they are installed correctly. Do not select "Turn on USB storage" on your phone.

Root + Unlock Bootloader:

1. Go to the folder on your desktop where you extracted the files.

2. Right click on unlockbootloader.exe and select 'Run as administrator'.

3. Click "ROOT Your Phone", the program will work and then close on it's own.

4. In your phone, go to the apps drawer and there should be a new app called Superuser.

5. Now go to your PC, open the same program, but this time click "Unlock BOOTLOADER".

6. Let it finish, the program will close on it's own, and then power off your phone.

7. Unplug the phone from the PC and we are done.

You have now successfully rooted and unlocked the bootloader of your device! :)

Installing CWM Recovery:

1. Turn off your phone if it isn't already.

2. Press and hold the following buttons simultaneously for ~10 seconds: volume down + home button + power button

3. Release the buttons and your phone should not boot, it should be 'stuck'. That's what we wanted.

4. Connect your phone to the PC via USB. It should install the drivers fine.

5. Open CMD and browse to the folder in your desktop.

6. Once you are in the folder type the following commands:

6.a) fastboot erase recovery, then press Enter. Let it work...

6.b) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, press Enter and let it work again.

6.c) fastboot reboot, and press Enter...

7. Your device is now rebooting. You can unplug it from the PC.

You have now installed CWM Recovery.

Instructions on how to boot to CWM Recovery:

1. Turn off your phone.

2. Press at the same time for ~5 seconds: volume up + power button

3. You should be now on CWM Recovery.

Good phone and good post. Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] canetinhas:
Not work for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
it works. you must be doing something wrong. Tell me where you're having problems.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
Yes it works. Be sure to have android drivers installed. Sorry about this newbie question, what is CWM Recovery? Can you point me to a link I can read about it? Thanks.

Forget it, I used the search button..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drakkeman:
do this the unlocked sim card?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
no it does not
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
It is possible to have a stock rom and flash it? Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
yes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
Can U point me direction please? Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
what? sorry didn't understand what you said
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
Sorry, can you give me some information to search for a stock rom and flash instructions? Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
?? I don't think you are familiar with these terms. what do you want? you want to root your phone or install cwm?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
You're right, i´m not familiar with android flashing, only with WM. I though it was similar. I rooted phone following your instructions. Tried to install cwm but process stucked..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
please check if you have really rooted your phone, check if there is superuser app among your apps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
Yes I have.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
have you disabled fast boot? make sure you follow every step
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
I disabled fast boot. I will try again and post feedback.

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Success. Thanks again for your instructions. I'm backing up my system right now. If i make a factory reset should i get a huawei clean device or with operator stuff?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
glad you made it! Regarding your question, I don't know.. please share your results when you finish making the factory reset :) I would like to know as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
It will keep operator data. Fortunately I removed SD card. Factory reset will format card..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
:( I had a bit of hope on this special device. anyways, you can flash other rom :) it will be clean and fast :) I haven't written a tutorial, but I can help you through here if you want to do it now :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
Difusal thank's a lot for your help. I cannot do it right now since I'm GMT and will work in 6 hours. I will try to get to you other day. I'm still trying to get a decent ICR on this device, you know any?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
you're welcome :) I'm also GMT but it's holidays :) what do you mean? a keyboard where you draw the letter and it recognizes the text?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
No, i mean income call record.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
well I don't use any, but this looks good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chrisstew:
Hi to all and happy holidays!

Made sure fastboot disabled and usb dubug on, used admin to run unlockbootloader but nothing happens

I have the same phone but on older software 2.3.6 to be exact, I tried the method described with no luck, I'm guessing the software was written for ICS. Has anyone managed to do the same with my version (gingerbread), I've rooted several phones and tablets before so not a complete newbie.

Thanks

Chris
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
make sure adb drivers are installed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chrisstew:
Hi, thanks for the reply, windows installed adb drivers, should I be using a custom made set or the default ones?

Other than that I can't see why it won't work unless it's due to the OS as mine is gingerbread?

Thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
I think it should work on GB as well.. :/ in windows go to device manager and check if everything is installed, I mean, without any yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chrisstew:
Hi, it shows the android adb device no yellow exclamation, so that seems fine, if I remove phone it dissapears and reappears as normal?

Quite frustrating as all software seems ok, I will try and post the screen data from

Cmd window when I run unlockbootloader
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
hmm maybe it's because of GB then :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] outlawz_pt:
I tried several but can´t get both sides of conversation clear. Forget about it. Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chrisstew:
Hi, I managed to root the phone using this method, hope this helps others, one tip, when I ran the "install-superrecovery-windows.bat" the dos window came up and went away very quickly, I still went through the process and it worked, I made sure this was the same kernal as mine before I went ahead. (2.6.38.6-perf)

I take no credit for this, the founder at another website "PaulOBrien " posted this method.

APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

SuperRecovery r1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: 76a8fe61badc3a27fbfde4427ffad965

How to use SuperRecovery - Windows, Linux and OSX

- Download the SuperRecovery zip file above and extract to a directory

- Put your device in bootloader mode - turn off the phone, pull the battery and USB cable, wait a few seconds, replace the battery then turn on with the 'volume DOWN' button pressed to enter the bootloader. The device will stay at the Huawei logo.

- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superrecovery-windows.bat'

- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superrecovery-mac.sh' followed by './install-superrecovery-mac.sh'

- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superrecovery-linux.sh' followed by './install-superrecovery-linux.sh'

- When prompted, put your device in recovery mode - turn off the phone, pull the battery and USB cable, wait a few seconds, replace the battery then turn on with the 'volume UP' button pressed to enter recovery. When recovery has loaded, you are rooted! Select the reboot option using the power button and you're done!

Hope its OK to post the link if not then I will be guided by the moderators of this website.

Best wishes

Chris
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nosfaratu:
I have a problem ..

I installed the drivers adb the mobile phone back in his memory, to make the the root, but did not appear in the SU app ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chrisstew:
Please do this at your own risk, i was prepared to give it a go knowing it may fail or worse!

Ok, I used this method for Gingerbread only, I ran the bat file but oddly not as admin as I normally would, I just clicked

the file, it ran and very quickly closed the dos box with no message or prompt! I carried on anyway and followed the instructions exactly and it worked, this was for the same GB kernel as per my last post and only for GB

At first I thought win 7 was preventing the bat file from running, if I ran as admin the box came and went away faster and I could not read what was onscreen before it closed, just double clicking the file did the same but the text was visible a second or more before it closed down! Try it again only if you are on GB with same kernel. Good luck
[Miscellaneous Android Development] seymour_butts:

I've looked a bit over myhuawei forums but... didn't find any interesting release or a bit stable.

Maybe I've missed Something, but doesn't seem to exist many developer support for this devicE
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
you're right. unfortunately this device isn't supported by a lot of developers

Will rooting my y201 pro void it's warranty ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kalwar:
Phone not detected in bootloader

The process to boot to bootloader is to hold both buttons vol up + vol down at the same time and then press power button.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

After rooting (superuser is in appdrawer) and flashing the bootloader i go to bootloader by pressing vol up + vol down and the power button after this a pink screen appears and i connect my mobile through usb to pc but it does not detect it, it's not in device manager nor adb shows it can you tell me why ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:
"2. Press and hold the following buttons simultaneously for ~10 seconds: volume down + home button + power button" you're pressing the wrong keys
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kalwar:
LoL I wasn't holding the home button correctly xD Thanks.

P.S

That worked superbly !!! Thanks !!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abar1969:
I want to inform you that on myhuawei.net, there are already 2 overclocked kernel.

1 is done right by me.

But there is no forum for this phone,on xda? or am I not find it? :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Difusal:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] flashmate:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] andresteves:
Cannot make this work...

Follow all the instructions but still no root...

Attached screenshot with cmd output.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abar1969:
you use xp? right?

then first install driver from your huawei device (if you connect your phone to pc)

normally show as usb driver like d: or e:

put all the files needed to root and unlockbootloader in one directory

by me C:/adb

this can help...

and try again

and -- or try this

only as second option

[Miscellaneous Android Development] andresteves:
I use win7 but i will try that solution.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abar1969:
Now, get your phone and go to Settings > Developer Tools. Make sure USB debugging is enabled.

- Also disable Fastboot in Settings.

- Connect your phone to your computer via USB and let it install the drivers. Make sure they are installed correctly. Do not select "Turn on USB storage" on your phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andresteves:
already done that before running the .exe
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abar1969:
? sorry for my english.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] andresteves:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] remloup:
Now, if I want install a custom rom on my phone, can I use a rom for Y200 ? Or it's not compatible ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abar1969:
++++++++++++++++++++++++

EDIT: please not try!!!!

++++++++++++++++++++++++

hardware seem the same BUT

your build prop, is not equal to U8655

if you flash a Y200 firmware this (if positive installed)

change your build to U8655 Y200

i self flashed a rom from U8815 (Huawei g300), but i am also able to change it, and self made oc_kernel,

is much complicated to explain .. sorry

**************************************************************

if you are on baseband 109808 i think is compatible..

but not sure, make before a backup !! don't forget

if you have unlocked the bootloader...

you can also try later if the rom works (at your risk ! )

oc_kernel..

*************************************************************

greetings

abar
[Miscellaneous Android Development] remloup:
Ok, thanks, I don"t try !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abar1969:
sorry

but you can try the 2 oc_kernel (1171 or 1200, if one of them not work with wifi, try the other ) those could work on your rom.

IF NOT ( which I doubt )

via cwm

[Power] + [Vol up] for 15 sec

backup an restore

advanced restore

select the backup you made BEFORE !

and

select restore boot.

that all

reboot and you are in your original boot..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] germsandbugs:
Ok,

I was dumb here,

Did the root super user and all, worked like a drem, but....

Stupidly enough I partioned the sd-card and lost my backup...arggg.

No I am looking at a non booting system here of course because I tried your stock+ and I can't go back to my last backup.

Could anybody point my towards a rom or give me an link to his backup?

Kind of desperate here since no stock rom seems to be available on Huawei...

Since you didn't seem to have touched yours any further it would be great if you could backup yours and upload it?

I still have cwm so the zip would be blinding...

I definitly have the 8666-1 any other ROM that is confirmed working with this one?

I'm used to flashing and even adb, but this is this first real stupid mistake I made...darn

Any help is greatly appreciated.
