Oops, my apologies! I just searched the file too. It's actually "ro.config.hwtheme". And yes, change the 2 to a 0.

how do i change my battery indicator like yours. so cool.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Xposed module called GravityBox!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
we should have an Xposed module thread so we know what works and does not.

Example: I downloaded ADV Power and the power buttons do not work but Screenshot button appears which is really cool to have if u just hold power.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Gir357:
I have ADV power and it works fine for me. I also just installed gravitybox and I haven't really found any problems (yet)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] D33PTHAWTE:
I can attest to this. I installed several modules on xposed at once and when I rebooted I kept getting constant system ui crashes. All I could do was reboot recovery and factory reset.

So far gravitybox isn't giving me problems, but some things simply don't work... Lock screen tweaks for example don't do anything at all, but nav bar stuff works. Any suggestions?

anyway to move this video to the fist page?

-First you have to install 15 Second ADB Installer

-Second you need to get your unlock code from mobile@huawei.com

*Follow the video to unlock your bootloader

-Next Download Towel Root and transfer it to your phone

-Finally run towel root with your phone (make sure WiFi is connected to work)

-Install SuperSU and Root Checker from Google Play Store

-Enjoy

change ro.config.hwtheme=2 to =0 to get xposed working.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] JJ2525:
I just read through the entire thread in preparation to root my device. Correct me if any of this info is wrong. This could also be helpful to others

1- Get code from Huawei

2- Download 15 second ADB and open that

3- Follow prompts to install adb, drivers, etc.

4- Close that when done, and open a CMD window

5- Type in cd c:\adb

6- Type in adb devices

6- Type in fastboot oem unlock [16 digit unlock code]

7- If phone does not reboot itself, unplug phone and power it into fastboot

8- Plug phone back into computer and wait for it to finish

9- Root by installing towelroot apk onto phone (or kingo root or w/e you feel comfortable with) and reboot

10- Install superuser from play store

11- Install latest version of xposed and use a build prop editor to change ro.config.hwtheme=2 to =0

12- reboot

13- install any xposed modules you want, and most should work.

Is this all accurate? Thanks!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
step 6 and 7 kinds of wrong order

adb devices //check adb is working

adb reboot bootloader //wait it boot to fastboot

fastboot devices //check

That's exactly what I did step by step

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

I made a video if you scroll up a thread or 2. Kingo root does not work anymore with HAM2 only towel root
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I've rooted 3 of these HAM2s so far and none automatically reboots into fastboot. Unplug and steps on how to get into fast boot then plug back in should be the standard in the instructions. I will write a guide later but until then if they follow the video it will work because its what I did step by step and worked 3 for 3 so far.

Has anyone rooted had the phone automatically reboot into fastboot to confirm?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Thank you XDA for helping figure out how to root the HAM2! Got my custom navigation bar and statusbar ! Rock on!

HUAWEI would not provide me with the unlock code after providing them the serial#, and imei code.

:(
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
What was the email reply they sent? I just got one 3 days ago. You have to provide the imei and s/n and say thanks at the end (lol). Just send another email. Take a screenshot of the email I'm curious to read it. I've done it a total of 3 different times so far
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] good_apollo:
Dear Justin,

We unfortunately do not have any boot loader unlock codes available at our support level. I'm sorry to say that I do not have a recommendation as to where this information can be obtained. If your friend was able to obtain this information it would have to have been from an outside source from our technical support. Once again I'm sincerely sorry that we are unable to further assist.

Best Regards,

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

i just called tech support as well. they said they didnt have access to unlock codes, i had them escalate it, and spoke with a supervisor. He said no one in tech support has access to them, he said he would ha no problem giving them to me if they did, but they just arent available. hesent my information on to corporate.

this sucks.

also, the captcha system for xda is TERRIBLE.

well, i guess it's time to blow up their twitter page. anybody else who can't get a unlock code for their device feel free to join in. huaweideviceusa is the tier name.

For people having trouble with the unlock code program. I got an error when I did mine a while back. I forget what it was. I couldn't just leave the default first option in the dropdown. I had to actually open it and select the first option for it to work.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Gir357:
I don't think the program works anymore regardless. I'm pretty sure it's just outdated

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] foltz61:
I read the whole thing. I know it hasn't worked for people. Was just a suggestion on what may have been causing problems for people. Did it connect to a server for the code? Otherwise there's really no reason it shouldn't work.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] good_apollo:
well, i did find some good news. their corporate device offices are 4 blocks from my job. time to go raise some hell.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I just read the last few post. The program does not work and you have to email mobile@huawei.com to get your unlock code. It took me about 24 hours to get a reply 3 different times for 3 different HAM2s. See attached pictures
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] good_apollo:
well, that is encouraging at least.

guess i will be emailing them about every 45 minutes until someone gives up and provides me one.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kid_Ding:

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] JJ2525:
OK, I think I figured out why I no longer have Power Management.

In my overzealousness when rooting my phone, I uninstalled some apps via titanium backup. I'm guessing the relevant one was phonemanager, but could be wrong. I just factory reset the device and it is still not there. Is there any way to get the deleted apps back or am I screwed? (PS I just learned the always backup apps before removing them rule)

Great news! TWRP is about ready to be released for the MT2-L03. Just a tiny bit more testing and hopefully in the next day or so it will be available.

Even better, TWRP will root the device for you with SuperSU. No need for these other programs or methods when the time comes :). [MENTION=3266877]xordos[/MENTION] is pretty excited as well about this achievement. He has been a HUGE help to me in it's development.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I don't have an answer for you I'm sorry. I don't know of a way of extracting phone manager and making an .apk out of it. That is a costly mistake I'm sorry. Maybe u can email mobile@huawei.com and tell them you uninstalled phone manager by accident and how do you go about reinstalling. I don't think they will provide you with an answer but worth a shot. If you bought it from amazon just exchange it. Tell them it is not working and you don't know why. Play dumb. Let us know what happens
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
For all MT2-L03 owners, TWRP should be released tonight. Only thing left is to confirm that offmode charging works and MTP mounting. Waiting on feedback right now.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ajaydarez:
This is a great forum! I am a newbie to root and I am pretty scared of the following scenarios. Can someone she some light on the following scenarios?(I have the US version of the phone )

1 Should I take a backup during the rooting process? If so what tools should I use?

2 If the phone gets bricked during rooting can those backups be used to restore it?

3 What happens if Huawei decides to update this phone and I have root? Do I need to restore the phone to update? (I don't intend to delete any of the native bloatware apps though) can I use the recovery image above to restore?

4 What happens to the warranty when I root? Can I un root the phone when requesting for warranty?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
I will try to answer you questions.

1. before you have root, you can use Titanium Backup and some other tools to backup, but usually this backup only useful when you can boot your phone fine. Also, it can only backup limited files/partitions since you don't have root yet.

2. No, if you can not boot into phone, above non-root backup won't help you.

But hey, this rooting process is pretty much lower risk of bricking, it is become high risk once you have root and don't have backup using recovery.

3. Since we just have an Huawei update last week, so, pls check that "System Update" thread in General Section for more info. Basically it requires put back stock recovery and some system files that it want to upgrade.

and Yes, once your rooted and have customized recovery, you will have full power to restore any partition/files you have backed up.

4. I didn't read Huawei warranty, you can check their website or call them to ask. But keep in mind, the email you sent with your IMEI to Huawei is to inform huawei that you are going to unlock the bootloader.

Hmmm, just checked following webpage, I guess it means you void your warranty when you ask for unlock code:

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
Looks like it is at their option to repair or not in warranty if you unlocked your bootloader. If you are clear it is a hardware issue and not a software issue (or a hw issue caused by sw) then they might at their option choose to support the repair. I'm guessing it is a case by case basis rather than a blanket voided warranty.

Relax you will get it resolved. Can you please take a screenshot of the email you sent to them. also make sure you email mobile@huawei.com because thats the only place your going to get the unlock code from? Do you think you were going to call a help center to get an unlock code for you phone? seriously? lol. Name a company that gives you the unlock bootloader code over the phone? Tell your friend to eat it. I attached a picture of what your email should look like. If you emailed them multipul times and no responce your not sending it to the right place or its in your spam folder. I have unlocked 3 HAM2s and this form is full of people who have continued to do it. Last Saturday is the last recorded response with an unlock code. Just take your time and make sure its mobile@huawei.com and you have your IMEI and SN correct. CHECK again. 3 times something is wrong on your end. Good luck and keep us posted.
