Huawei ascend y511-u30 Bootloader, Root & CWM!!

Please Read:(August 20/2014) Finally, I hope this thread is almost complete, while updating this thread I really didn't find many users interested in this thread. It's not that i want credits for it, i was the one with most of replies & felt like alone, forcing others to read/reply etc.. but i didn't give-up, pushed myself into it, spending time on Search, Collecting Information, Testing Stuff on my Device, posting, updating etc.... but It's ok & no problem. Remember, when we need something we struggle for it & i needed it for myself. Only one thing, keep this thread going, Rate it, Comment, share, whatever.... that's all. I hope it will help other users. Thanks for understanding.

4. Extract "ADB.zip" to Drive 'C:\'

5. Now open "command prompt" and make sure path is c:\adb>.

Unlocking Bootloader, Root & CWM:

The End, after rebooting the device you could see an app called Superuser in your menu.

(Note:- In case 'supersu/superuser' icon does not appear in menu, then open play store> my Apps> and search 'supersu/superuser' there. It should be there and needs update. Do it and it will appear in menu.")

>> CWM Recovery Installation/Flashing?

(Update: SOLVED) NOTE: Device must be Unlocked and "Rooted" for "CWM" installation. (Note: I Rooted the Device & Flashed CWM Recovery successfully without unlocking bootloader. Still need to test flashing "ROM".)

Make backup of your device/rom/data etc....

(Note):- Everything is working fine, only thing is that i cannot enter custom recovery with "vol+ & vol- & power" button (it's 'maybe' problem with this specific version).

Also successfully created backup with CWM.
