Has anyone tested this on B182 and B190 firmware updates?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DeX1009:
Yes, I have tested B190 firmware. I rooted the smartphone with B182 (but I think it's possible with B190, too) and update OTA to B190 (I didn't unlock the bootloader). It seems good :)

Not workign form me...

UK B182

Goes through the whole process, says its rooted, installs superuser, but can;t get root (I do half know what I'm doing, been messing with a G300 for the past 12 months!)

Think I'll patiently wait for the Huawei official code!##
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jacknicholson:
Not sure if this is a silly question.. Would I be able to root without updating the firmware? Or in other words, could I just skip to step 4 and install/run unlockroot3.exe?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Charlie--:
Have you get the Y300 rooted yet? I too have the firmware B182 (UK) I was going to follow the procedure in the OP, but not so sure now that I have read your comment.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TangerineTractor:
Got my unlock code, so unlocked but I couldn't get twrp to respond to screen... so I ran the unlock root from the OP and I now have root - no TWRP but I gues that's not the end of the world until some decent roms come along. If theres a non-touch twrp or maybe a cwm out there..???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Charlie--:
[MENTION=335653]TangerineTractor[/MENTION] - Thanks for the info, I requested a few hours ago the bootloader unlock code from Huawei - Shame that TWRP does not work for this FW version. Getting root however, so I can tweak and clean up is a must for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TangerineTractor:
Scrap that... I've got superuser installed, and it says I have root, but other apps don't see it, eg rom toolbox - like you, all i want to do is get root and remove the crap. I really need to remove the warning when switching from wifi, or the phone is virtually useless to me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Charlie--:
Oh dear, sorry to hear that - Have you tried this version of TWRP? It's from the comments section about rooting the Y300 when the bootloader is unlocked.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TangerineTractor:
Superstar!

Wouldn't install from the bat, but put the img in teh other install script, and I have a working twrp and have just flashed superuser... see if it works, if it doesn;t I'll do a factory reset and try agin...

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Yay! That other TWRP worked... Got twrp, got root, got superuser.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Charlie--:
[MENTION=335653]TangerineTractor[/MENTION] - Nice one, Does seem strange that the method in this thread's OP does not work for the B182 FW version. Good to know that the other way with a different TWRP works. Just got to wait for my code before I can root this phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kakasan:
it work on my huawie y300-0100 B190 CONFIRMED WORKING thank you so much for the tutorials.. i have noticed some problems after root done there is a blue shadow color from side of screen when i go to settings and scroll side either left or right anyy one know how to fix this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jacknicholson:
I hate to be redundant, but would it be safe to skip the first three steps and just run Unlock Root? I have a B174 phone. Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Charlie--:
It should be (I guess), and the rooting part will probably fail as what it needs is not available. What's the reason for wanting to skip the 1st 3 steps? Why not just do them all like others have successfully with firmware version B174?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jacknicholson:
Thanks, I'm sure you're right. Would I be correct then to assume that flashing update.app will overwrite my stock B174 with a modified B176 firmware version?

The reason I'm weary, despite the many solid testimonials here, is that some users from other forums have noted battery drain issues and the like after either flashing or running install-windows.bat. And regarding the potential bleached colors issue, my phone appeared to come with a slight yellow tint over the display. A factory reset seemed to mostly rectify the issue-- while the whites and colors are warmer/less blue than I'd prefer, its tolerable now. I'm a tad concerned that should I have to run install-windows.bat, it'll worsen my yellow tint issues.

I suppose I may just keep waiting for Huawei to send me my unlock code, which oddly may be the more stable method for me!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Charlie--:
Ok, I see, thanks for the info. It is wise of you to not dive straight in, as you could be worse off. From what I see, doing steps 1-3 will add files from B176 (this might be the update to B176, not completely sure there) and if you ran the install-windows.bat, that flashes a new boot.img from what looks like a B176 firmware.

My phone came with B182 and so far so good (just need root) and would not like to have the issued you mentioned. I have put a request in for my unlock code (Friday), just waiting for it and then I will root that way.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 0xmilan:
An other solution would be to re-do the rooting, but this time don't install "power saver". This was a problem on our Hungarian forum too.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Altimax:
Power saver wasn't install, I rooted once, unrooted after that, and camera still wasn't working. IMO it was windows fault.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kakasan:
how to redo the rooting? i think that is my problem i install power saver, i got some blue shadow when i touch the side of the screen..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 0xmilan:
Well, You just do the rooting process again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Harald Grond:
Hi everyone! I just purchased a Y300-0100 yesterday and from since I'm trying to root, unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom. It's my first Android phone so I don't have any experience on it. I'm really frustrated on how and what can I do to customize it. I've tried the method above succesfully, I have the superuser icon but when I run the check_bootloader.bat I have from the other method where you request the unlock code from Huawei, it tells me that the bootloader is still locked. Can someone point me in the right direction and steps because I'm really confused here. Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 0xmilan:
Well, You just rooted the pohne without an unlock code, which means the bootloader stayed locked. That's normal.

You can customize basically everything you want, since you are rooted. But if you want a new, custom recovery or ROM, then you have to unlock the bootloader.

I got this phone two days ago i didnt get unlock code yet which root method is better? Do both ways does factory reset or only when unlocking bootloader?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 0xmilan:
This method doesn't do factory reset, unlocking the bootloader does.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kajjtan19:
So i will try this option with root only then but bugs with camera scares me:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 0xmilan:
No reason to be scared. Running install-windows.bat from the "Y300-boot-B176" folder solves the problem. If you follow the steps nothing can go wrong.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kajjtan19:
Yeah will try that later i just love stock rom much better than samsungs :) just need custom fonts and few stuff which requires root

To use bootloader unlock code, or not

I have already obtained the bootloader unlock code, but then discovered this thread. Is there any real advantage of going down the 'unlock bootloader' route if you don't want to install custom roms and really just want to root the phone to clear the junk, use Titanium Backup etc?

Thoughts please...

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

Camera not working after root is common issue and easily solved. Just read the steps of your root guide again it should have a last step that tells you to run a .bat file if your camera doesn't work and/or your screen is giving problems after root.

You're welcome! If you do decide you need to update to another custom/stock ROM, make sure to prepare well. It is a tricky process and I almost bricked my gf's phone doing it and I know of a few people on here who did brick it.

Help Me Please

Guys I tried the root process which was great and successful BUT I though rooting the device will give the advantage of changing the "preferred network option" to WCDMA Only but that was not the case even my phone was rooted.

Because there is no direct option in the mobile networks menu, I tried the following ways to force the phone to use WCDMA always:

1. dialing *#*#4636#*#* the menu is not poped up (failed),

2. installing the following applications from Google play called "4636 v2", "Network", "Radio Switcher", "Mobileuncle tools" and it does not work (failed).

I need your support guys how can I do it ?

Please help me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jacknicholson:
In the Mobile networks menu, just tick "Use only 2G networks". That'll do what you want. (If it's unticked, you'll be in the 'auto' mode, with 3G preferred.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Track1986:
Thanks for your reply but again this will not solve my problem. I don't want the phone to be on "auto" mode because it keeps automatically changing to 2G whenever there is a drop in 3g signal (specially in my area). That's why I need to force the phone to use wcdma (3g) always.

Any expert can help me ??

I searched google a lot but didn't find anything helpful.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Weemies:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sb101:
Yea, I tried that twice and on both occasions Huawei replied saying:

"Dear Customer,

Thank you for supporting Huawei device.

The information you submitted is as follow:

Mobile Model:HUAWEI Y300-0100

MEID/IMEI:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

S/N:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mobile phone number:

Email:xx@xx.xxx

Maybe you has submitted the wrong information that we can’t find the corresponding unlock code .

Please check your information and re-submit to apply unlock code, and we will send it to your Email address in 3 working days. Thank you! "

I checked and triple-checked my model number, IMEI and serial number, which were correct, but they still can't give me the unlock code.

I'm not too bothered though as using the guide here I was able to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader.

Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with the phone holding onto a WiFi or 3G signal , so I'm returning it :(.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 0xmilan:
The icon stays there I guess, even if the phone is fully charged. It should display the percentage on the lock screen, or you can use a third party app which shows it on the status bar. Also the notification LED switches to green from red when the phone is fully charged.

Well, what you said seems to be OK, but there's no need to unroot I think. If you are worried about warranty, then you can unroot any time you want.

You can edit build.prop with any proper file manager, like Root Explorer.

No, user data remains untouched, everything stays the same. You don't have to reinstall anything, unlike when using the "bootloader-unlocking" method.
