The update doesn't seem to break root, but it does mess up TWRP. So make sure you have the stock recovery installed before you update. Then install or reinstall TWRP.

This will be the last update for the ham2. Enjoy it.

anyone remember how to get wifi hotspot on consumer wireless phone since they can't get unlock code. I remember reading it but can't find it
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Coffee Freak:
The guy who started the string on the consumer wireless ham 2, k2thejx5 flashed my fresh stock twrp unrooted backup to his consumer wireless variant and his phone was then same stock unlocked including tethering.

I have an unlocked CW phone. I contacted Huawei and got 16 code to unlock boot loader. [MENTION=6042169]Coffee Freak[/MENTION] may I have a copy of your TWRP image file? I read the process to get this phone up to date as well but a stock TWRP image file from factory unlocked mt2l03 would be lovely.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Coffee Freak:
Mtyler7807 might me able to give you a better backup with all the patches. He has already done all the legwork. Mine is pre update and would require a lot to get it right.

You are right, it doesn't. I finally got a response from Huawei with my unlock code.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Xeluc:
Edit: after further exploring this website, it seems the website I gave you guys probably won't work. I'll just have to spam Emails every day till I get the code. Are people still getting their codes from Huawei?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Milkteabubbles:
I requested my bootloader code over 72 hours ago and still haven't received it. :(
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] RobbH:
Try again. Like others here, I never received a reply to my first request, but got a very prompt reply to the second request.

I got my HAM2 today and sent the Huawei Team about 3 messages before they replied with my bootloader code. Right now, I've installed TWRP but I have a huge problem. The guy who bought me the phone got it from "Consumer Cellular" and right now I cannot use my SIM and always get the message "unlock SIM SERVICE Provider Block". I live in Africa. Is there something I can do ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tooter1:
I got my unlock code from here, http://www.ebay.com/itm/331346209509?_mwBanner=1

Dear tooter1,

I thank you for trying to help me on how to unlock my HAM2. I sent the money to a friend of mine in New York who bought me the phone from Consumer Cellular who happened to be coming to Africa. At first the phone said sim service provider unlock pin, I contacted the guys in the States and they gave me some unlock code and now my phone says unlock SIM SERVICE PROVIDER BLOCK. They gave me the same code 4 times. My phone feels pretty useless now. That's why I have been in a frenzy on XDA and reading your message gave me some confidence that all is not lost because I'm miles away from returning it. However, as you might know, in Africa, the advancement of credit cards has not yet reached here. So, I am pleading with you to help me. I checked the ebay link and the cost is around $2 to unlock the phone. I am asking you to do me the favor of paying the $2 on my behalf and I'll try to send you the money via Western Union or Moneygram. Also, I've never used EBAY before. Please, man, help me with this. I'll send you the relevant details if you acquiesce. I'm that desperate. Please consider helping me.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tooter1:
Did you request a bootloader unlock code from Huawei? Is that the code you are talking about?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
No, I contacted Huawei for the bootloader code which is to allow the running of administrative tasks. Huawei sent me the bootloader code which I used to unlock the bootloader. That part is fine.

The code I'm talking about is the the one the "unlocks the network". We contacted Sears and asked for "S/N", "IMEI" and "Activation Code" which I provided from the cartoon and the phone. They gave me an unlock code but as I tried it several times, I got the message "network unlock unsuccessful". Then the message that the phone was displaying to notify me that my phone is network locked "sim service provider unlock pin" changed to "unlock SIM SERVICE PROVIDER BLOCK" even though I was able to continue trying unlock codes. We contacted sears again thinking it might be possible they gave me the wrong code but they read out the same code again. I currently have two of these phones. One for me and the other for my brother and of course both of them are in the same state. That's why I am hoping you'd help out with this guy from ebay. I could have tried it here but as I said, credit cards or online payments don't exist here. If you can get me an unlock code from this ebay guy, I can assure you I'll send you the $2 dollar via western union/moneygram which are among the only ways we can send money from here. I'll send you my details if you are willing to help me.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tooter1:
I gotcha. Don't think Sears does any of the SIM unlocking stuff.

I'll do my best to help, send info through PM, don't post IMEI numbers on the forum.

Also, don't keep trying to unlock it without the proper code.

Have you seen the PM I sent you ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tooter1:
That happens when you have tried to many times to unlock the phone.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Xeluc:
Okay guys I did some digging and I think I may have found something good. I found a ~6000 page thread about this program we've been trying to use by one of it's authors. I don't speak Chinese and can't post links but I have a feeling that this Neekh guy has updated the program because the thread is still active. pm me if you're interested in looking. Won't help you much if you can't read Chinese though...

EDIT: the OP was updated in october so I really have a good feeling about this... I can't register to download the attachment though because the verification wants me to answer a question in Chinese which is impossible even with a translate.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] leroytorner:
when I try to run the "adb.exe wait-for-device" code, the device never go online. What can be wrong??
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] leo221:
sadly no more unlock codes given by mobile@huawei.com anymore.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
why do you say that? I got another 3 days ago
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 290:
I have been trying to get one for two days now. No response after sending a second email.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
send 2 a day til they respond
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] leroytorner:
I send a request for an unlock code 3 days ago. Sended at 13:40, they respond with the code at 13:43.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] leo221:
ok I was wrong. discard that. The serial number printed on the sticker inside back cover differs from the number shown in system settings, about phone, status. I've been emailing multiple times using the sticker s/n and got no reply. then I emailed using the s/n in about phone, status, got the code the next morning. just a tip for others requesting. I have a consumer cellular branded unit.

All I need by rooting is to get wifi hotspot which is disabled in consumer cellular's rom. all happy now. this phone pulls 80mb/20mb on tmobile LTE at my home. NICE!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 290:
Finally got mine today so they must still be giving them out.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] leroytorner:
Really? I send the number printed in the sticker. This is wrong? The number in status is totally different. In this case, my unlock code will not work?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tooter1:
I sent the serial number in the "about phone" numerous times and never got a response.

Then I figured out the phone sticker was different and sent that one with a new request and got it very quick. The numbers they sent you will work to unlock the bootloader.

Sent from my LG-D801
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] j03x2:
Didn't work for me either. I sent both the IMEI and SN from the sticker and from the phone's about screen to the mentioned E-mail. Never received a reply. Been waiting for weeks now.

Got my boot unlock code via Ebay though for 2-3 €.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tooter1:
I would have kept sending a request. Did it go to a trash folder as spam?

Sent from my LG-D801
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
so it's confirmed you can get your bootloader unlock code from eBay for $1? if I can get 2 people to confirm this I will add it to the first page of the form in big red letters.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] j03x2:
I've sent around 8-10 Emails by now...

Even a couple of days ago out of curiosity. I can confirm the Ebay deal.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tooter1:
I'm not sure if you can get the bootloader unlock from ebay, never tried.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] bob60626:
My unlock code from Huawei doesn't work. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with this phone (emails not updating with the screen off, keyboard, music apps not playing with the screen off,...) to the point that I've taken to using it only for basic talk and text with primary use being hotspotting to my N7 and chromecast. I like the battery life, size, and it not overheating when tethering (my Note 2 heats up big time!) but it's almost not usable as an actual phone.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
So, the code Huawei provided could not unlock the bootloader? Have you double checked your IMEI info, and what's the error when you unlock the bootloader?

Regarding the notification issue, it can be resolved once you have root. So this is relying on you need first unlock the bootloader.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
all that can be taken care of without root under protected apps. also my hotspot is almost always on and have no heat issues. maybe you should exchange it under warranty
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] bob60626:
I've checked it several times, it just doesn't do anything.

I have every app protected, still a problem with music playing. Mine is also always on (not detected as tethering usage on T-Mobile!); the Note heats up, this is fine.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I'm not talking about app protected I'm talking about wifi always on
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Keyboard lag can be fixed by switching to Normal power mode, if that's your problem. I had the same music issue and it disappeared once I unlocked the bootloader, which resets the phone. I read somewhere that resetting the phone gets rid of the music bug.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thugmafia:
shoot how are you guys getting your boot-loader unlock codes have email 5 days now with no answer and i juz got the phone like a week ago and really need it rooted
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] pucherto123:
First of all make sure you are sending it to mobile@huawei.com, check your spam folder and also make sure the IME, and SN number you are sending are the ones located in the back of your phone when you take the cover off.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thugmafia:
ok which one of the SN? I have email both of them cause the one in the phone is different from the one on the battery
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Iguanadon:
I used the one on box/battery. Took about 24hrs. But I did send the mail Christmas. lol

I have still not gotten an answer for my bootloader unlock code, emailed them from 2 different emails and used the s/n and imei number under the back cover.. still hoping they will get it to me cause I'd at least like to root (don't really care if I get recovery)... but root would be nice lol
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Iguanadon:
I'm sure this is what you did, but just in case. This is where I sent the email and what I sent. Took 24 hrs and that was Dec 25. Don't give up and keep sending emails. I sent about 5 total. Don't forget to check spam folder.

I emailed them the day before yesterday and also yesterday and haven't heard back from them about my new HAM2...my guess is that it was Fri Evening Shenzhen, China time so they may be closed for the week end. I bet If I send it in again today around 6-7pm EST or a little later, I'll get a response overnight (since it would be Monday morning there I think).
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] degeiso:
Good Idea, I will keep trying
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] degeiso:
Yup I sent it about an hour ago 9pm eastern time, got a reply about 15 minutes later! Chinese time is 12 hours ahead so no doubt the beginning of their work day.

Bootloader unlock still given 150116

I usually just search and read for my answers, but after reading this post above and getting the bootloader unlock code from Huawei I had to join to confirm the above post. I think degeiso found the answer, send your email during

their

business hours following the format found somewhere here in this thread. After many months of sending emails, I sent the email again at 9:27pm Atlantic time (Puerto Rico), on Wednesday January 14th 2015 and received my unlock code at 10:11pm same day. I would say send email at 9pm Eastern time a probably get a faster response since they are probably open then. the format I used was as follows:

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

same I am usually asleep at that time now due to getting up early for work but I found a chrome extension called boomerang which lets me schedule emails to be automatically sent at any time in the future. I set it for just after 9pm est during the week and in just a couple of hours had my code.

The tool HW-QmOneKeyTool.exe doesn’t seem to work anymore, but this guide, which is written for Mate 7, might work for Mate 2 too:

mate7.net slash ascend-mate7-bootloader-unlock

I was able to obtain an unlocking code, but when I booted to Fastboot, it said that my phone is already unlocked, so I can't test whether the code is valid or not. :)

In short: Generate a product ID for Y300-0000 using your IMEI with this tool:

mate7.net slash wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Huawei_Product_ID_Generator.zip

Then use this web page to get the unlocking code for Y300-0000 using your S/N, IMEI, and the fake product ID:

en.club.vmall.com slash emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=pre

Note: I had to use the serial number from the back of my phone, instead of the (different) number in Settings > About phone > Status > Serial number.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Sepistö:
I can confirm the above method works! After upgrading to Android 4.4.2, Fastboot said my phone is unlocked, but it wasn't. I couldn't root it before I did

adb reboot bootlader
fastboot oem unlock CODE

where CODE is the unlocking code obtained with above method. After that Root Genius 2.0.1.3 succeeded.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Thanks OP for posting this! Finally got my unlock code after the third email sent to Huawei, though good to know there's now another program we can try. The ADB driver wasn't working for my phone (but worked fine for my Nexus 7 2013), went into Device Manager... sure enough, unrecognised device. I had to go in and manually select not the driver, but the driver certificate. Immediately after doing so, my phone recognised the ADB connection and showed the authorisation popup. Then ADB and fastboot finally recongised the device. After unlocking, Kingo Root wouldn't work, so I used towelroot. Instant and considering SuperSU had no problems updating the binary, seems to have been successful.

Now, to install Xposed... couldn't find a link just by searching this thread so I'm going to go ahead and try version 2.7 experimental1. I saw some mention of build.prop needing to be edited?

EDIT: Finally got the latest Xposed working, edited ro.config.hwtheme in build.prop with Root Explorer. Thanks to whomever mentioned that. I've just discovered the magic that is GravityBox and I think I'm in love. :P
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] j03x2:
Which towelroot did you use? I tried one from towelroot dot com and it says that my device isn't supported.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Exactly that one. I just searched "towelroot", tapped on the lambda, and installed it. Instant root.

I'll attach the .apk (in a zip file). If you're on the computer, plug in your phone, and using the command line, type

adb install PATH_TO_FILE

Fastest way to do it.

Otherwise, get an app that can extract zips, make sure unknown sources is checked in Security, and install. Hopefully it works for you. If it doesn't, have you tried Kingo Root? It seems to vary but one of those two usually works for people with our device.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
If your bootloader is unlocked then TWRP will root for you.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
