Yes, the problem is that I have trouble finding the specific Y300 drivers: I downloaded a file called "Huawei_Mobile_Driver_v1.0.exe", but after the installation my phone is seen as "SAMSUNG Android Phone" > "Android Composite ADB interface" by Device manager (see the pic.), I tried other drivers but I cannot seem to find one that works.

I did it, thank you so much :D

Is there any cool rom that you can recommend? (a light one because this phone is sluggish ;) )

P.S.

Drivers aside, I was also doing something wrong: I didn't put the phone in fastboot mode (pressing POWER while keeping VOL-), once you put it in fastboot mode Windows sees the phone as new device and you have to reinstall ADB drivers.

Best one I could recommend.

I tried a few of them while I had that phone, from 4.1 to 4.4, and this one is by far the best. It is fast(not much to expect from Y300 but ok), reliable and it has no bugs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gts-r:
I'm trying it out now, seems fast, do you think that's better than a cyanogenmod rom? (I never tried one but I was curious).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krule031:
Yes it is, by far.

Stock roms work best, on this device.

CMs are full of bugs here, so I suggest you to stay at this rom.

If you want to experiment, go for it, but as for speed and reliability, this one is better by far.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gts-r:
(Sorry for the late reply)

I'm doing fine with this rom and I'll stay with it, don't feel like experimenting now. The only thing a little disappointing is Shuttle, too slow to me, now I'm searching for a lightweight music app (I had one before before but I forgot the name :confused:).

Hello,

I know it's a bit offtopic, but I didn't find a better place to post it.

So, I'm looking for a new rom for my sisters and mothers Y300-0100. Right now they´re using the old stock firmware, which is pretty laggy and open for exploits like stagefright.

I visited the modaco forum reading a lot of threads , but am still a bit overwhelmed by the mass of different roms and don't know which to choose.

The rom should be as stable and smoth as possible. Features don't matter that much, the focus should be that the phone is "working" properly on daily basis. Looking to those priorities a AOSP-based rom seem to fit best. In theory I´d prefer a LP/MM-rom, but maybe the old KK one`s are just more stable? Is there a rom you could recommend me?

I´d really appreciate if any of you could give me some tips or hints!

Greetings
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krule031:
I will be clear.

All roms other than 4.1.1 are full of bugs and they are not stable.

This phone was meant to come with 4.1.1 and die with it.

So, I'm suggesting you AospMod 4.1.1, it is stable, fast and lightweight.

You should try it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] l3Nni:
Thanks a lot for your fast reply. It's sad that Huawei devices often lack good custom rom support..

Do you know if the performance will be noticeable better compared to the stock rom? If not, I think I'd just let the phones like they are..;)

Hi all,

I'm trying to follow this guide to unlock my mobile but when I sent the email for request the unlock code to unlock the bootloader, they replied me that they can't write the code.

Can anyone help me please??

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krule031:
AospMod has numbers of tweaks and stuff that keep the phone running smooth and fast.

Compared to stock, speed is noticeable.

Altough, you cant expect low end phone to run like flagships.

Hello guys, i dont know if with unlock you mean the sim or other thing, however i have sim locked, there is a solution? with site "worldgsmcodes" is a scam?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krule031:
This thread is meant for unlocking the bootloader.

About the sim, I think your carrier should unlock your phone's sim for free 12 months after buying it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] r.albu:
Thanks for the link.

Is there a way to sim unlock?

It's for a friend of mine. He called the carrier but, strangely, they said they wouldn't, even after the locking period (for a decrease in price) has finished...

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krule031:
I think it's not possible.

Simply because carrier needs to give you that unlocking code.

Warranty issue

I've heard that even requesting a bootloader unlock-code immediately voids the warranty of the phone, because your IMEI gets into the manufacturer's database. At least that's how it works with Sony phones.

Is that true?

I don't have the phone yet, but I would ask for the code via email since I live in the EU, so before that I should probably ask them if this procedure voids the warranty. They might answer it, anyway if anyone knows an exact answer then please let me know.

Also is it possible to root without unlocking the bootloader?

I wouldn't flash the custom recovery, but only use fastboot boot recovery.img and then flash SuperSU from recovery.

So the main question is can I boot into a custom recovery with a locked bootloader??

Thanks in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FurryTauren:
Srsly do you guys think we can expect a cyanogenmod or a miui port? ://

It's gonna take some time til the phone gets known enough and someone starts developing for it.

No backup option in TWRP recovery!

So I've managed to boot into recovery without flashing it (I guess it's TWRP v2.5), but it looks a lot different than the picture displayed in the rooting description. Is it because I didn't flash it, but only booted into recovery with adb reboot recovery-new.img? Or is it a whole different version?

It looks like a CWM recovery (It's blue), so I couldn't control it with the touchscreen, but the bigger problem is that it doesn't have a backup option.

Edit: It says "Android system recovery <3e>", It is the stock recovery that comes with the device??

Edit #2: I did a simple adb reboot recovery and I get the same recovery that I get with adb reboot recovery-new.img, so it is the stock one sadly. :(

Is there a way to get TWRP to work without flashing it and unlocking the bootloader??

Thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

New questions:

Is it possible to flash TWRP recovery without unlocking the bootloader?

Is it possible to flash SuperSU from the stock recovery? I guess it has an option something like "flash update from sdcdard".

What happens if you try to unlock the bootloader with someone else's code??

Please reply!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FurryTauren:
Most probably it will tell you it`s not the right code. I wouldn`t try it if I were you, just a waste of time. You need the code for your device.

Btw I was also looking for a way to root without unlocking the boot loader. Didn`t find one if it helps.

If you are so worried about the warranty why don`t you go ask directly at the phone store?

ROOT without unlock code from Huawei!!

This is the response I got from Huawei (mobile@huawei.com), after I asked what happens to the warranty when I ask for a BL unlock code:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Huawei device.

Would you pls kindly inform us your detail IMEI, S/N and the phone model for our further check.

Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.

Best Regards.

Huawei Device Customer Care Team.

Anyway yesterday I found a rooting method on an Italian forum that doesn't need the code from Huawei!!

Here it is

Soon after I posted it to our Hungarian forum I got a response that it also works with version B178 (Hun. Telenor branded).

I have version B173(T-mobile branded), but I didn't try it yet, I guess I'm gonna do it today.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FurryTauren:
Well it`s to late for me because I already unlocked the boot loader and have no longer a problem with it but you should definitely post it as a separate thread if it really works without the code... Some people may be interested.

Strange how such a huge corp as Huawei hasn`t hired 5 guys and girls that can actually speak English (or any language except for Chinese) and are able to adequately understand and respond to questions....

The bootloader stays locked if you use this way, so I guess you can't flash a custom rercovery, but I'm not sure, I didn't try it yet.

If you installed the adb_drivers, then your PC should recognise it with "adb devices".

Hey!

So the camera in version Y300-0100 keeps messing with the fucusing, even if you set it manually.

I've heard that the Chinese versions (Y300-0000) have a better focus control in their camera app.

If you have a rooted Y300-0000, then please copy this file: /system/app/Gallery2.apk and send it to me or upload it to this thread.

I'm not sure if the Gallery containes the Camera too, but I didn't find a separate Camera.apk, so I guess it's merged with gallery into one file.

Hi guys!

Week ago I bought Ascend Y300 locker to Croatia T-Mobile network. As you guess, it's branded (startup i shutdown T-Mobile logo, T-Mobile ringtones ect.).

I requested code for unlock bootloader from huawei and this morning code arrived:)

Version of software is: Y300-0100V100R001HRVC150B151

I need few answers.

If I flash mobile with official Huawei rom (http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDcxNDI=) will I loose Croatian language? Do I need unlock bootloader first for flashing this official rom?

Last question:)

I ordered sim unlock code for unlocking so I can use Croatian Vipnet network. Can I unlock phone with this code after putting original non branded firmware or I must do this before?

Tnx in advance.

----------------

EDIT:

I put sim card which phone did not accept and enter sim unlock code and voila! Phone is unlocked:)

Next I tried to put original firmware but none of methods wont work (forced update with fastboot turned off - normal upgrade from update option in phone). Starts unpacking and when showed installing just shows yellow triangle with message ˝update failed˝.

Any solution for this? I did not unlock bootloader since I wont install custom firmware (for now:)).
