[General Questions and Answers] :
Can you root this one? If you can't, you just ran out of options. Before flashing through DLOAD method such a recent firmware version (afaik the MOST recent) you should have try others like B512 just because B515 may be too local-ish and leaves you with no other options. But I guess this won't matter anymore. If you can't go on with what you have and you can"t root then you will need to face the less transited road: downgrade firmware. I know someone posted one method some time ago.

Where are you from?
[General Questions and Answers] CBlike:
Thanks I will try and I know it's a nightmare fortunately is not my phone of daily use and I think the B515 is easy to root as it said the wiki of Huawei Y530.

I have always rooted using RootGenius, it worked perfectl on my s3 mini and on this phone with stock firmware. I may try now too, but maybe there is a better way to root it? Idk.

I heard downgrading is painful, and sometimes isn't even possible (?). It's like I can flash B192 firmware right? B515 works fine but Android is just outdated..can't update system. I mean, I could just use Nova Launcher to make it look better, couldn't I? I'm just missing all the options from the drop down menu, I don't know if this is fixable.

I am from Italy anyway, thanks to everyone for your help

You can root with iRoot, then if you have the proplems with toggles, search for cust.bin open it and you'll see (in my case hw/eu)

Go to CUST folder and if you have hw folder rename it, then go inside your folder and you'll se folder named normal. I renamed it to eu.

It's kinda hard to explain, but hope you understand. :)

Tried Root Genius, stuck at 74%

Towelroot says it is rooted but actually it is not! (according to root checker)

iRoot failed
[General Questions and Answers] :
No. Don't do this, please. This is a well extended fix but it usually leads to more problems (like loosing previews in recent apps). I will explain a cleaner fix, but before I bother, I need you to confirm you are rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] eldin_96:
I got no problems when I did what I said, my phone is working perfectly fine. lol
[General Questions and Answers] Jonix96:
Seems like I can't get my phone rooted..

By the way phones works great, the only thing I'm missing is the full drop down menu (this one looks very simple..)

Would it be dangerous to flash again putting a B192.zip inside dload on sd card? (Doing vol up + vol down + power button)
[General Questions and Answers] :
Well, all over latinamerica, when you do that you give up recent apps thumbnails or previews and you get icons only. That fix modifies custom partition, which I really not recommend in this phone since almost all carrier configurations are there. Anyway, is not critical if you do apply that fix, for me is the recent apps thumbnails thing and it bugs me that I really do not know what else this fix does to the phone since it modifies the folder structure with a fair amount of xml files. The fix I know is straightforward, you just need to modify a couple of settings through settings.db (again).
[General Questions and Answers] Jonix96:
Problem is I can't edit a thing without rooting, and right now I can't root my phone. I'll try downgrading it and I will let you know

edit

Package ext name error..

Trying with fastboot

edit I unlocked the bootloader, but I can't get it to downgrade...it always says package error. Any idea?
[General Questions and Answers] Animu619:
If your issue is the lack of functionality of the quick settings, and you can't install another firmware, I'd recommend you download an app called "Settings extended", it's really good and you can choose the options you want for your quick settings, and even colors, plus it doesn't use much ram.

In that case, you would deactivate the default quick settings.
[General Questions and Answers] Animu619:
My phone has never had the recent apps thumbnails, is there a safe way to activate 'em? O.o

kingroot

Use kingroot.net to root your Huawei Y530. For me, its works!
[General Questions and Answers] :
Yes! There is! Look for my post about setting a persistent launcher and follow that procedure, just this time search for a setting name "am_capture_thumbnail" or something similar. If there is and says 0 or false, change the value to 1 or true. If there is not, add it following the procedure.
[General Questions and Answers] Jonix96:
What can I do if I have no services? Can't receive calls apparently, but the drop down menu shows my mobile operator (h3g Italy)

I installed clockwork recovery and your mod (moddedB515v3) works fine but I still have no service.. can't receive calls or messages, and the drop down menu is still incomplete

***EDIT** I just rebooted it, and everything works fine! I changed the name of the folders according to my custom.bin and I got the working drop down menu!! Fantastic!!

[General Questions and Answers] JuanDxD24:
necessary fixes?
[General Questions and Answers] eldin_96:
We all know the progress of CM11 for our device and we know it will not be finished soon because of drivres incompactibility.

My suggestion is someone with good knowledge to make a CM10, I know it's the same version of android we got, but our phone lacks lots of features and one major issue is live wallpaper support, since we don't have it we can't download the apps who needs lwp. Also Huawei's bloatware, don't even know how to say it slow down the phone a lot. Phone with this specs should run so smooth on JB, but hey, it's Huawei's trash OS what should we expect.. lol
[General Questions and Answers] rac69:
SpeedUP mod rom v3.1 is good but it had some issues. You could not download anything from the playstore that needed livewallpaper suppport. You would also see this message "your device isn't compatible with this version". Had to make some changes to the build.prop file to be able to get rid of that restriction. You also could not download any other livewallpaper from the playstore and install it. Plus I updated the facebook app to the latest version. I was going to change the galaxy launcher but decided against doing so.
[General Questions and Answers] ako9:
Its a good idea make a cm10, but why no one have do it?
[General Questions and Answers] DJDucksta:
A few points to cover here.

Easiest to address is the bloatware. So long as root access is gained it is very easy to remove/replace system apps. I have gotten rid of the bulk of the stock apps and replaced most of the remainder, including the launcher, with 3rd party apps.

As far as CM10 possibly being easier to port than CM11 or CM12, I am not entirely convinced that this is the case. The main issues with current alpha versions of CM from what I gather are resulting from either an incorrect huawei source code and/or lack of correct drivers/proprietry blobs. This would still be the case no matter what version of CM we attempt to port.

I have not tried myself as i do not require them but i do believe there is a mehod in this forum about activating live wallpapers.

Finally, and I make no promises at all, It is highly likely that with CM recently adding official support for a number of Huawei devices that a CM port for our phone is more likely for any version of CM. I am attempting some work myself but am not a developer an it is purely experimental on my part.
[General Questions and Answers] Animu619:
Well, actually I don't even know how to adb pull. So I'd need a guide for real noobs if it's not bothersome for you to do
[General Questions and Answers] :
Alright. Use X-plore file manager app from play store to copy the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file to your sd card. You need to configure X-plore's settings to use Superuser and Write support mounts and grant su privileges when emerges superSU or Kingroot.

Once you have the file, modify it on your PC with SQLite Browser. Save it and put it back to your phone and using X-plore, overwrite the modified file to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Not in my PC to be exhaustive enough... hope you can work it out.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Here. I would appreciate if you could share your tweaks instead of packaging them in a MOD-ROM, this way we can use them without the ROM. I certainly will not install SpeedUP because I would have to rollback most of the chanes done in SpeedUP that I don't want.

[MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION]

Thank you, now I have app previews back.

Is there any way to enable the default full Huawei Notification toggles without editing the dpi?

A more simple method to edit the .db files is to download a SQL Editor from Google Play.
[General Questions and Answers] Animu619:
Thank you very much! I'll try it out later and tell you the results.
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
I can confirm what DJDucksta said, everything is correct. I had a long and detailed answer but accidentally I pressed back button on the browser and I lost it... I'll try to rewrite it.

I tried to port CM10, too, I think that CENTSOARER remembers it.

However there's a problem: first of all CM10 is old, and is compatible with old tools for its SDK, i. e. Java 6 (or 5!), an old version of Make etc...

As matter of fact I managed to compile lots of binaries, but I had problems with java (I use Debian Sid: we have Java 7 and 8, but we haven't Java 6 anymore!).

You'd need an old SDK, like a 2012 one (Ubuntu 12.04, or Debian Squeeze/Wheezy).

Provided that you manage to get a build of CM10, you'd probably face the same problems of CM11, since we've already used the source code we have had by Huawei from JB.

There's another question: is it likely for CM12.1 port to work?

Well, we won't know until we complete a build.

G620_A2 CM12.1 tree contains lots more than the kernel: it contains libraries that make Huawei device wokring in CM.

The kernel isn't properly targetted to MSM8610, but to MSM8226, however some patches are common for sure, and they should work, I don't know neither if all will work, nor if there are all the patches we need.

DTS files must be ported for sure, but it shouldn't be a problem, since the kernel line is the same (3.4.0).

A stock firmware of G620-A2 would be a great help. If we want to compare proprietary libraries and executables we can use CM zip, but if we want to compare firmwares we need the Huawei official update pack to get the modem partition (or the modem partition image from a G620-A2 user). Some firmwares are different, at least in number size, some are missing in our /firmware/image directory (I can tell from Android.mk).

At the moment I can't build the recovery.

That's due to the fact that some tools are still for 32bit Linux, but I'm using 64bit Debian Sid, and there are some problems in core library versions which prevents me to run some 32 bit tools (different architectures must have the same package version).

I have a temporary Debian Jessie chroot, too, but I'm having problems with a Java library (bouncycastle).

I actually gave a try yeasteday since I had some free time, but I can't guarantee neither many time on development, nor that I'll finish a build of CM12.1...

I downloaded Nexus 4 CM10 rom and used some apps, also live wallpapers are working, can use it as a wallpaper, but what I still don't get is I can't download apps who needs lwp support, even now live wallpapers are working perfectly fine.
[General Questions and Answers] JuanDxD24:
can you give me the download link?
[General Questions and Answers] :
Yes, in the oiginal post for a persistent launcher I recommended aSQLiteManager app wchich can be downloaded from Play Store. There is a similar way to modify toggle order but, since default dpi allows only five and defult ones are pretty useful you can only exchange one or two of those. Anyway, you just need to modify an XML inside /data/data/com.huawei.android.toolbox/files/custom_order.xml for changing the order, you will see there are more options of toggles but you won't see them until you put them in the first five places for "item", it is pretty straightforward. I do'nt know how to activate the horizontal scrolling thing, to have this would be great.
[General Questions and Answers] rac69:
Edit your build prop. Change it to reflect the CM 10 Nexus phone model/device.
[General Questions and Answers] DJDucksta:
Because the live wallpaper support that you have is not "native" the installer does not see them as being supported. You can use adb to push the apk file to your apps folder and it should work.
[General Questions and Answers] rac69:
Just pushing that apk alone will not work. Changes will still have to be made to the build.prop file, to get rid of "your device is not compatible with this version".

Also get a copy of the livewallpaper premissions xml file i.e. android.software.live_wallpaper.xml

copy it to system/etc/permissions.

[General Questions and Answers] Cameo164:
Hi there,

I already rooted my phone using KingRoot and now I wanna unlock the bootloader because I want to install cwm recovery and flash the modded stock firmware. I already sent Huawei 4 e-mails with the information they need to send me the unlock code, but they don't respond to my e-mails. So my question is, is there another way to unlock the bootloader ? The general unlock code "fastboot unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" does not work. I found a program called "unlockbootloader.exe" but it shows me wrong drivers and for the program DC Unlocker I have to buy credits.

Thanks, Cameo164

[General Questions and Answers] Jonix96:
HI it's me again, I wanted to try changing the bootanimation again. Though first time I did it I made a huge mess, so now I have to be careful. I made several backups with clockwork mod.

My files should be located under Cust/Tim/It/Media. All I know is that I need to replace BootAnimation.zip and BootAnimationex.zip with the modded ones and giving them the same permissions of the old ones.

Is this correct? I don't want to make a mess again (bootloop).

Thanks

I know right, Huawei never answered me. Facebook team said that they would contact me via email, nothing happened. Anyway I managed to unlock bootloader with DC-Unlocker. Basically you have to put your phone into Manufacturer USB mode, then open DC unlocker and scan for Huawei phones and Auto detect device. It finds your phone and then you can click on Show bootloader code. Then use "fastboot oem unclock <code>" from console to unlock it.

The only negative side is that DC-Unlocker isn't free, if you want to click on show code you have to own certain amounts of credits. For my huawei Y530 I spent 4€ (4 credits), but honestly it was worth it, now my phone works beautifully.
[General Questions and Answers] DJDucksta:
That is indeed the way I changed mine but if you are worried about it there are a number of apps available in playstore that allow for automatic change of boot animations.

I suspect that your previous issue may have more likely been caused by your attempt to de bloat your phone and deleting something that you shouldnt have.
[General Questions and Answers] Cameo164:
Yeah I already discoverd this program but because I have no credit card I have to use sms pay and that would cost me 9€. I'm considering about doing it anyway. Thank you for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] Jonix96:
The said apps aren't really reliable, I'd rather doing it manually. Yes I share your opinion, I deleted some things I shouldn't have...I'll try again, thanks dude

EDIT TRIED:

I replaced my bootanimation with a custom one, however when I rebooted an ugly animation showed up, like the stock one (just a silver android text). No bootloop but it didn't work. Maybe it's the wrong file path? I placed it according to my custom.bin in Cust/Tim/It/Media. I'm open suggestions

Try to get a credit card...paying 9€is insane. I could share my account but it has 0 credits left, so useless
[General Questions and Answers] Jonix96:
Up

So I did some testing, looks like copying my bootanimation.zip in my Media folder gets corrupted. Bootanimatin from 33 Mb becomes 15 Mb with X-Plore, and I can't open it (while I can open stock bootanimation.zip and new bootanimation.zip before coping it). Also tried with root browser, but it says operation failed. Root browser has SuperSu permissions, while they weren't requested from X-Plore (I just activated root option inside configurations).

[General Questions and Answers] :
Scrollable and customizable stock toolbox

Hi guys, I figured out how to get toggles (HwToolbox) to scroll and be customizable. It was pretty easy, but got no time to explain right now. Here the apk, just push/overwrite it to /system/app/. It won't cause a boot loop if something fails, so, if just copying to /system/app/ wouldn't work, check HwToolbox.apk permissions to be equally assigned as other apks in /system/app/

So:

1) Download the HwToolbox.apk

2) Overwrite to /system/app/ HwToolbox.apk (using Root Explorer or adb, recommended the latter)

3) Reboot and scroll and customize your toggles!

The toolbox is based on B515 firmware and unthemed (stock): HwToolbox.apk
[General Questions and Answers] DJDucksta:
Just a quick question. Is this the only mod made to this HwToolbox.apk or have other changes been made as well. I know you like to tinker with things.

[General Questions and Answers] Juro.janosik:
https://mega.nz/#!SF1mgDRR!eKk_I4xhCcoPZMIpUxSTkMrecMB4f_l6QgeWR-02s1g

Use kingroot. Turn off supersu and install this. I use it and have no problems with system files.
[General Questions and Answers] Jonix96:
Thanks, but I succeed this way:

adb devices
adb shell
su
#cat /proc/mounts
Check partition name of system

# mount - o rw,remount -t *your partition name* /system

type again
#cat /proc/mounts
Check where system appears y executing #cat /proc/mounts again: in my case it was system ext 4

$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /system

Done.

Edit

Also my problem was that I was trying to replace bootanimation with a modded one too big (34 Mb against stock 2.7Mb). I used another one about 3 Mb and I could copy it without any problem.

Using X-Plore I found out I couldn't copy more than 15 Mb to the Cust Media folder in addition to my 2,7 Mb stock bootanimation and 3 Mb bootanimationex.zip. That means if I delet stock bootanimation I can copy max 17 Mb of modded bootanimation. Maybe this can help somebody out there.
