Ultimately it lets you boot a un-signed ROM image, which isn't really useful yet, as no one has yet to make a Cyanogenmod ROM. However from reading some messages in this forum, it would seem that you need to do this first if you want to root your phone.

I have the code for my phone, but from the instructions it looks like it resets your phone and I'm not really looking forward to spending a few hours restoring all my apps etc... and I haven't found a real reason to root my phone yet...

Swap file.. one way to do it

U need rooted phone

Go to googleplay store

I use "swapper for root" there is many more

Install it and start swapper configuration

At first swapper "recommends" 200 but change it if you like

That app is so easy to use that you'll figure it out :)

When i had b508 firm. I couldn't use firefox browser

It crashed and was very laggy. After swapper i could use firefox without problems

This is just great. We can start REALLY messing up with our Huaweis right now, I'm sure soon enough we'll have a fully working CWM and maybe even some ROMS. First thing I'm gonna do is a Nandroid backup and finally get rid of that almost 100 MB weather apk bloat!

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

It is working. You need to be rooted and adbtools (adb and fastboot). I tested this recovery and is working on Y530 U051 firmware B185, my carrier is Telefonica (Movistar) Mexico. I just got rid of a lot of Huawei and Google bloatware. To flash this recovery permanently start in fastboot mode

adb reboot bootloader

The phone will reboot. In the folder where you downloaded the recovery image you'll need to type

fastboot flash recovery recoverytest.img

The recovery image will download to your phone. After that, reboot with

fastboot reboot

Then, to enter recovery mode type

adb reboot recovery

Once you are in recovery mode you won't have GUI, but you will get ADB working so:

adb shell

And finally

nandroid backup

You'll need to wait for the backup to complete. I don't know if you can reboot to recovery directly with fastboot, you may save some steps with this.

Swap

Hi,

At first, sorry my bad english.

In the B194 update we can activate the swap memory. We can make it with "swapper for root". This program create a swap file in the sd card. Work, but we need desactivate if plug usb in the pc.

Also we can make swap in a swap partition in the sd card, like a real linux, and it's not necesary desactivate whe plug usb.

I have a 16gb sd with 3 partitions:

1: 13 gb fat32 format for data, pictures, music...

2: 1gb ext3 format for Link2SD

3: 256mb Linux swap format

You can use gparted in linux, other tool in win, CWM format option to make the partitions... Use google, there are a lot of information: "google -> android sd partitions" :)

When you have the linux swap partition, you need to activate it on boot. Frist you need know the partition name. In the phone, install a terminal emulator from playstore.

1- Type "su" and intro for root acces.

2- Type "fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1" and intro. This comand display the internal name and format of the partitions in the sd card. Whe need the linux swap partition, see the picture.

Eventualy, change mmcblk1 by mmcblk0 or mmcblk2 if there aren't information, i have sd internal and external inverted in the build.prop.

In my case, the swap partition is in /dev/block/mmcblk1p3

For boot activate and set swappiness, i have a scrip in init.d:

#!/system/bin/sh

# Enable Linux Swap

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p3

# Set Swappiness

echo "10" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

Now boot, you can see the swap memory work in setcpu, for example:

That it's all :)

Hello developers.

I've searched through the thread to find if anyone has a solution on how to unlock the SIM.

There is really not usefull information on the web.

I contacted Huawei, but they did't give me any solution apart from advicing me to contact my provider.

I don't think that there isn't a way, since there are a lot of companies out there claiming that they can do it, however with a questionable reability.

So is there a way to unluck the sim card and use the phone with any provider all over the world?

When you open iFont slide to MY tab . There you will see a setting button . Click it . Now the top button will be of CHANGE FONT MODE . And we don't have to touch it . Clear Enough .

And if you want to add custom font just download some from dafont.com . Extract the zips . Copt the .ttf files and place the to your phone in SDCARD/ifont/custom . Create the custom folder if it doesn't already exists .

To choose from your custom font , open ifont , go to MY tab , then click MY FONT . Then you will see all your fonts enlisted .

Use any font size it doesn't matters.

Two Bell/Virgin Y530 - one rooted, one not

Hey all,

I have two Y530-U051 phones, which were originally sold by Virgin Mobile canada (Bell). Both were SIM unlocked using codes provided by an ebay source.

The first one I set up before reading anything about rooting, etc. When it started, a system update was shown, so I went for it.

The first phone now has Y530-U051V100R001C557B188 build number.

The second phone was left updated and has stock Y530-U051V100R001C900B185 build number. I was able to root this second phone using Towelroot (though not with SRSroot), which was a happy surprise. This was confirmed with RootChecker. I installed SuperSU and App Quarantine which I have had on other phones.

Unfortunately, I was NOT able to successfully root the B188 first phone with SRSroot or Towelroot. Towelroot showed that it had been rooted successfully, but Rootchecker said it was not. I was not able to install SuperSU.

My questions are: Is there a way to get back to the original B185 build for the first phone, or is there an update past B188 that WILL work with Towelroot?

I have other questions about the operation of these phones, but I will keep them until later. (I have had two other Huawei Y300 phones previously and there I need these Y530s to act they did....)

Thanks in advance.
