I can't post the root link I used because my post count is too low. But if you google "mt2-l05 root" it should be the second link, from anzow.com. I translated the page to English using google. I did it when I was still on 4.2, not sure if it works on kitkat. Don't try and replace the Chinese root app with another one, it always seemed to mess up my root when I tried to do this. Also, the root is still write protected so I guess you don't quite have full access like I would prefer, but it does work well enough that Rom Toolbox can freeze apps. I tried changing permissions so I could write to the root but it would always soft brick my phone and I'd have to do a factory recovery.

Thx for answer, Im a little afraid because the phones is working so nice... Maybe I´ll wait until found a secure metd to root. But Thank you
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlemange:
I wouldn't say it's unsafe, but I definitely felt sketched out using non English software to root. I'd do it again though, it's really great to get all those useless Chinese apps off the phone. As long as you don't mess with read/write permissions or kinguser, you shouldn't have any problems. The times I did soft brick I was always able to fix it via recovery.

sorry for confusing. that root guide is for china version ham2. for us version, the root is available. first unlock boot loader, then root with towelroot

4.4.2 is for china version ham2, us version is still on 4.3

main concern is to unlock bootloader. then it should be root easily using one click root
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] estoydadude:
Nice!! Thanks!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlemange:
Is there anyway to verify that unlocking the bootloader was successful?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
If you boot into the bootloader, it tells you whether or not it is unlocked.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] scpion:
Does this means my bootloader is unlocked?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I'm pretty sure it does! I think my fastboot looks different from yours for some reason, but I hope it still means the same thing.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] scpion:
cos i was trying to unlock it with the listed methods but nothing worked...

1.Using the toolkit gives me an error return ( I think it says "type_error" )

2. Towel root 3.0 says my device not supported..

3. Root genius rebooted my phone afew times and says its rooted but I tried to verify with root checker, it says it in not..

4. I had previously rooted when I was on 4.2.2 and have superuser installed but it does nothing now.

Currently on 4.4.2 MT2-L05 official.

I am lost..

Thanks for the reply. I was rooted on 4.2.2 with Eroot and superuser was installed. After updating to 4.4.2, root doesnt work anymore and I am stuck with superuser. Not sure if this matters.... Had tried using rootgenius but doesnt seems to work...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
What version of root genius are you using? 1.8.7 Will not work.

Only the version of Root genius 2.0.1.3 posted in the link above worked for me on 4.4.2 MT2-L05
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] scpion:
I cant get the previous version of superuser(Clockwork) to uninstall, its installed as a system app.. I am going to start fresh, hard reset and try again.

Btw, u manage to get contacts to sync? On 4.2.2 I installed contactsync adapter to system so that it will work. On KK, I am a little afraid that might fail..

Update: Nope... hardreset doesnt work either. Root Genius installs Superuser but i am still not rooted.. :(
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
That was the same Bootloader screen shown on your image as I had when I fast booted into fastboot for the first time.

It may say Bootloader unlocked, but I assure you that it's not if you have updated to 4.4.2

You HAVE to boot into fast boot again and enter your 16 digit unlock code to unlock the Bootloader. The root genius 2.0.1.3 will then root your phone and install supersu. If you don't enter your unlock code, you will not be rooted.

Just for clarity, on 4.2.2 I didn't need to unlock Bootloader........ 4.4.2 you DEFINITELY have to first.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] j03x2:

Had the same problem and will try to unlock my Bootloader again (even if it already says unlocked) and then use Root Genius.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] j03x2:
What does the attached error msg say?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
That tool doesn't work anymore, and you have the wrong option in the top box anyway. If you want your unlock code, you need to email Huawei with your s/n and imie number and ask for bootloader unlock code.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] j03x2:

Hi, i flashed the recovery using fastboot and then i tried to reboot into recovery but the phone just reboot after 1 try. here is my bootloader screen. Plz tell me how to root this phone. Its unlocked but i'm unable to root it.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
Are you sure it's unlocked? Did you get the 16 digit bootloader unlock code from emailing Huawei your serial number and IMIE code and then use adb to unlock your bootloader?

I know that screen says unlocked, but unless you entered the bootloader unlock code I guarantee you that it isn't unlocked.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] mawais15:
Hi, I unlocked the bootloader using a Chinese software that provided me with unlock code not the Huawei email code. If it's not unlocked,why it's giving false information on the bootloader screen. I've emailed the Huawei guys to get my unlocked code now, don't know if they reply or not
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
I can't tell you why you get the false information saying unlocked, but trust me,

I had EXACTLY the same image when I booted into bootloader without me unlocking it first. Hopefully, Huawei will send you an unlock code soon.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] mawais15:
I've sent mail to Huawei but still got no answer. Is there any other way i can get unlock code. Also i'm unable to factory reset the phone now may because i've overwritten the default recovery.. What options do i have now??

What things do I need to consider b4 flashing a cutom rom on my mtk6572.Can i flash a rom for mtk6577 4 example
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
Interesting Question. I don't know exact answer but will try to add little information i collected.

I think, for two phones with the same MTK6572 chip 'maybe' but it's generally not advisable unless you know everything's the same. like chips and sensors, partition layout, bootloader specs, etc. otherwise there could be chances to damage/brick your device. Even when you know what you're doing the chance of bricking is high when messing around with partition tables and bootloaders.

Flashing MTK6572 on MTK6577, probably won't work or maybe in some case. I think one needs to be an expert in such case. otherwise, i believe will end in bricking device or with some other bigger issue.

I don't suggest flashing Custom ROM of MTK6577 on MTK6572 or MTK6572 on same MTK6572 of different phone. unless you know what you are doing. one need to have developers knowledge/information i think.

anyway, i could be wrong. better wait for others reply. search forum, internet.

[Verizon LG G3] s.whiplash:
Is there a way to change the filename format of the pictures that the stock camera saves?

It uses a filename of MMDDYYxxx (MONTH DAY YEAR then 4 digit number)

I would prefer to have it be YYYMMDDxxx (YEAR MONTH DAY then any identifier). Preferable with the year being a 4 digit number.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
I'm also interested in this. I hate the way it names pictures. It makes things difficult when you sort by filename in a directory listing.

I've changed the date format under Settings > Date & time > Select date format > to MMMM/DD/YY but it has zero effect on the way the camera names files.

So frustrating. Samsungs camera does filenames about perfectly. example: 20140827_135746

They even add down to the second on the name. LG just adds a letter if it's a picture taken within the same minute.

edit: Dang. Even looking clear back to my original Droid1 they had this correct. Filenames were "2010-01-29 21.26.14.jpg". How could LG mess this up so bad?
[Verizon LG G3] JMooney5115:
I just ditched the stock camera for Google Camera. The weird date format and always asking if I want to delete the photo after swiping got on my nerves. I still have the LG camera opening by holding volume down when screen is locked though.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Does the google camera make use of the Laser Focus and OIS?
[Verizon LG G3] JMooney5115:
I'm not sure about the laser focus. The OIS is built into the lense and is still functional as it is built into the lens, and by the looks of me recording it works.

However, I haven't played with it enough to tell a difference in quality of picture taking
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Meh. I think, if I keep the phone, I'll look for a script that converts the filenames into a more normal format before I save them to my desktop or switch phones. Not much I can do about Google+ but I hope it's smart enough not to duplicate.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I am pretty sure it is not.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Just an FYI: I went into Settings > Date & Time > Select date format > and choose YYYY/MM/DD and it had no effect on the stock cameras file naming scheme.

I would love to use a 3rd party camera but I doubt it would make use of the LG's laser focus.
[Verizon LG G3] brooklynite:
Man, I have the LG G4 and this is a serious issue. Now I have 2 major deal breakers for me that are probably a 1 hour fix for LG:

1) Camera file naming (terrible thing, we had a hail the other day and my wife and I took pictures with our G4s. now I am organizing the photos, the names are messed up, I have not manually rename until I get it right, and even then the date stamp on the photo is messed up so it shows up in the wrong order. Add all this to Google being cheap and not wanting the normal SMB format in the phones, when I copy using the cable the date stamp on the pictures also changes)

2) Auto Brightness. Which is beyond a serious deal.

I cant believe LG just ignores major issues like this.
[Verizon LG G3] PiousInquisitor:
The magic happens in LGCameraApp/smali/com/lge/camera/file/FileNamer.smali

Id love to fart around with this but in two days im off to Nexus heaven. Good luck to anyone that embarks on this challenge.
[Verizon LG G3] verbage:
I know this is an old posting, but I just stumbled across it now because I am dealing with this image file naming convention myself, but with a G4. There are certainly a bunch of solutions for automating the renaming process, but instead of reinventing the wheel, a very simple CLI tool that can do this is called jhead (http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/). To rename images to something more easily understandable like YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS format, here's the syntax:

jhead -n%Y%m%d_%H%M%S *.JPG

If you still want to preserve the original file name, you can always just tack it on as a suffix with the following syntax:

jhead -n%Y%m%d_%H%M%S--%f *.JPG
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tstretch:
I have a Verizon LG G3, stock unrooted. It is supposed to show weather info on the locksceen or when you close the cover, using the QuickCircle case. The weather info is powered by Accuweather, but when I close the QuickCircle case,

it consistently says "Set cities in weather app"

and doesn't show any weather info for my phone. Looking at just the lock screen, it doesn't show anything weather related at all.

The location

IS

set in the Accuweather app and displays correctly on my home screen.

When I go to Settings - Lockscreen - Weather Animation - the check box isn't checked. When i click it, it asks me to add a location. I am prompted to enter a location and do so. But when i do it says that the location "already exists". That is correct - I can see that it exists in the accuweather app on the home screen, however no cities are set for the LOCKSCREEN display of the app..

Its like the lockscreen function of the app can't store or access a saved city...??

I have tried clearing the data for the Weather app, and the LG keyguard app but neither worked.

Anyone have any ideas?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tstretch:
I'm not sure which is the following instructions resolved the issue, but I now have a location set for my weather on the lock screen. If you too, are having this issue try the following procedure....

1. Remove any weather widgets from your home screens.

2. Clear the cache, and data, and force stop all 3 weather related apps. To do this, go to Settings, application manager, and then flick right until you get to the list of all programs. You should see one called weather, one called weather theme, and one called weather platform. Do this for all 3 apps.

3. Turn on Location. I used the power saving mode and this worked fine.

4. Add the 2 X 1 sized widget to your home screen. Do not add the 5 by 2 widget. Click it, and set your location via the current location button. Do not manually type in a location.

5. Go back to your home screen and verify you have weather data for where you are. Then turn off your screen and verify you have weather data on your lock screen.

Hope this helps!!

I had set Google Now as my launcher. To fix this, I reverted back to the LG Home launcher and then tapped the large 4x2 widget which I could see caused it to automatically set to my current location. I was then able to set the weather animation on and change the launcher back to Google Now.

unlockable does mean that it is able to be unlocked

However, the user menat "un" is can not be unlocked.

The best bet is goto to

then goto service info / configuration

If the last line says

The kernel I'm using is blackhawk (the latest one, of course) and now I want to flash to the new KK firmware (I just learned that other countries - mostly Asia - received KK this month).

And is there a posibility that my device will be bricked using Odin?

Also, did anyone tried to flash any of the Asian KK updates? And were there any bugs? (If they were and as long as it wasn't a major one - say WIFI - then I probably still install it, just saying.). Please help.
