Over in another XDA thread they posted that they finally have a CWM Recovery & Root for the Y550 (which as it has been noted is EXTREMELY similar to the Y536a1). Cannot guarantee it will work on the Y536a1, but seeing how similar they are it may be worth a shot! All you need to get started is an Unlocked Bootloader (which is readily available by e-mailing Huawei). I would try it on the Y536a1 I bought for my Mom, but it's her daily driver and if it doesn't work I'll never hear the end of it...

This my first ever attempt at rooting, and I am glad that is over!!!!

For the record, I got my bootload code by emailing Huawei

After much trial and error dealing with manually installing ADB/Fastboot, I found this, courtesy of Snoop05:

I sent four (4) and no response to any of them...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDubTrey:
nobreak1970 pointed me in the right direction: use the serial number under settings, About Phone, Phone Status and NOT the one under the battery. I finally used the one in settings and the code came in about 3 hours.

..now I just need to get my Windows PC to connect to my phone. I have USB debugging on and have it booted into recovery/rescue. However, fastboot says "waiting for device". I've used adb plenty of times but I guess I need to find another driver for this phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidgmoney:
I made that adjustment on my own earlier this week and still no reply.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobreak1970:
First time I did it I ran the fastboot command while the phone was normal on. It then went into the boot loader and said unlocked. Worth a shot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDubTrey:
I got it working earlier today. My sequence was:

adb reboot-booloader

when the phone was fully awake, and then

fastboot oem unlock XXXXX

after it entered "rescue mode". The unlock wouldn't work when I tried to run fastboot after booting into rescue mode using PWR+VOLDWN. When fully awake, the phone just ignored the unlock command. Maybe I was being impatient but it is done now.

I also had to download all of those googe usb drivers just to get the phone to be recognized by adb at all.

Hmmm, I would double check everything and then send another email during China's daylight hours (Beijing is 11 hours ahead of NYC). The serial number seemed to be my issue because all of my first 6 emails contained the wrong one and the first time I sent the S/N pulled directly from the phone software, I got a response.

And yes, I am aware of them, and cannot afford to but I guess am willing to tAke the risk... you know, of turning my phone into a paperweight... I have often turned to it, and the forums and the insight within them, to help me out with other issues]

...trying I followed the instructions listed, and, reading the following posts, I followed them to a T, down to listing the proper serial number, the one listed in the phone information, NOT the S/N underneath the battery.

Use Huawei_product_ID_Generator.exe to spoof a product ID for a G520-0000 Then enter the generated ID and the 16 digit SN and IMEI under the battery here

This is not true. At least not for me, I am on ATT using a rooted, bootloader unlocked device. I have only been rooted for about a week so far but I have been bootloader unlocked since I got this phone.

I get calls, txt, data, no problem. I am not blocked from using any of ATT's services, that I know of.

Also rooting a device is never a waste of time :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FringeRedneck:
No rooting never is. How did u get ATT to allow unlocked bootloader? A friend if mine was blocked from ATT service as soon as he unlocked the boot loader.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
I didnt really *do* anything but unlock the bootloader. I was on ATT on my old phone, then I bought this phone, got a new sim cus my old one wasnt micro, then I was on ATT on this phone. Then I unlocked the bootloader trying to get root, never lost service, just kept using the device... ATT never has said anything about it or shut off my service so I just keep using it, do they normally shut ppl off for doing that? Because I've heard that before but always just thought it was a rumor because...well...yeah:D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FringeRedneck:
Well maybe its not a lost cause then. By the way I have read that there is twrp port for the tribute. It is not cwm but it may work if this work s I really want the miui ROM. Is there a way to relock the boot loader if something happens and I do get blocked from using ATT?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
Yes I have twrp already:D its workin great so far...

I *think* that its reversible, im pretty sure you can just do <fastboot oem lock (your unlock code here)> to lock it back...I havent personally tried it but that should lock it back.

-BMFC
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FringeRedneck:
OK then awesome. If you have not checked out miui yet you should. It has the widest range of supported devices. Next how did you get unlock code? I have sent the email but its been two days.

Im on AT&T as well and unlocked it and rooted mine last night. Service still works with no problems.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
Look on the first page of this thread, Post #7. I cannot guarantee that this method still works, some users report the email address has or does change, some users have experienced issues getting a code with too many/too few digits, etc...

I have friends and colleagues that have received there bootloader unlock code. I bought this device FOR developmental reasons and really need my unlock code so I can start running testing kernels. And for the custom recovery to boot. Please don't be this way. Please don't be a pain like Samsung/Nokia. If you would work with me on this I would only buy and recommend your devices.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Huawei device.

Sorry that there have no bootloader unlock code for Y536-A1 items.

By default , you can do fastboot downloading for some images directly without Unlocking bootloader..

We suggest you'd better not root your device which would avoid the warranty and maybe cause it freeze.

Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.

I've been having problems with the external sd card, when i restart it shows 'sd card inserted' in the notification panel but under storage the only options are mount sd and erase sd. Its a generic 128gb sd which i formatted on the computer and the phone, when i hit mount sd it just shows the 'sd card inserted' again but doesn't actually mount. It only works if i format it in the phone and only until a restart. The card works perfectly on my computer. Anyone else having this issue or have a solution, there has to be something quicker than copy, re format and copy back the files
[T-Mobile LG G3] camalot:
what type of computer did you format it on? in the past I had issues with formatting my SD cards on windows. I either had to format with the phone, a mac, or a linux pc.

I have not had the issue you are describing, but my card does unmount sometimes and then remounts immediately after.
[T-Mobile LG G3] gbL420:
Windows pc, but i reformatted it on the after it didn't mount, could it be the sd card? It was 14$ on ebay but the sellers feedback was 100% for the cards.

I had this problem with my LGG3 not mounting the SD card, I found that taking putting the SD card into your pc/laptlaptop, copy over pictures and music you wish to keep and format it as a FAT32 this worked for me however the Android files on the card had to be deleted I think on of them was corrupting the SD card as it would show randomly on my phone.
