Conformation Of Root - Y530-U00

Let me start with saying a thank you to this forum for all it's help and advice.

So now that I finally got it working i wanted to make a little post on what I did to do it in case someone else find it to be difficult to do.

*note this will wipe your phone and all it's data so BACK IT UP....also this has worked for me without issue but thats not to say that you won't have issue so use at own risk*

For clarification these are my phone specs:

Model Number:

HUAWEI Y530-U00

Android Version:

4.3

Baseband Version

01760

Kernel Version

3.4.0+

android@localhost #1

Build Number

Y530-U00V100R001C900B189

Custom Version

CUSTC432D003

So to start with you will need to unlock your bootloader before you're able to root it, to do this you can use Huawei's free service using the following steps:

Once you have received your Bootloader code from Huawei make a note of it and do the following:

Download the Android SDK (I suggest the slim version), you can get this by Googling AndroidSDKSlim.zip and downloading from Dev-Host

Once downloaded extract the files to a folder, inside the folder hold down shift and right-click then click on "Open Command Window Here"

On your device enter development mode and activate USB Debugging and then turn off the device (ensuring that fast boot is also turned off)

With your device turned off, hold down the Volume Down button and then hold down the power button, a screen will appear and near the bottom is will say "Lock Status - Locked", once this screen appears plug your phone into your PC and enter the following into the CMD Window

fastboot oem unlock 1234567890

(replace 1234567890 with the Unlock code received in the email from Huawei)

Once it has worked your phone will restart (if it doesn't after 1 minute then turn it on manually), your phone will then start to run through the process of restoring your phone back to factory settings but with an unlocked bootloader.

After it's finishing it will turn on and stop, if it doesn't turn itself back on and stays off for 1 minute manually turn it back on, you will be met with setup for your phone via your wifi settings, phone name, and everything you would usually see when setting up the phone for the first time.

Now that your phone is unlocked you can now start the root.

Download Root Genius 1.8.7 (do a Google Search) and after its been downloaded just open the exe (no install required) and connect your phone to the PC (turned on) after it's connected it will give you the message that you will need to agree to and then you can root.

Follow all the instructions given to you on the PC and on your phone screen (application acceptance will be needed so stay alert to allow)

After it restarts the device several time and disconnects and reconnects to your PC you will see a message that says "Gratz Root Successfully!"

Now that you're footed head to your home screen and you'll see Kinguser which will indicate the root has gone through correctly.

Hope you all have fun rooting your devices, here are some posts and YouTube videos that helped me out when rooting my device.
