Would you mind telling me what kind of unlock code do you need, bootloader unlock code, pattern unlock code or network unlock code?

The phone went into the "FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE" and stop at with message below "Please connect Usb Cableand Open HiSuite" The android man image was at the bottom with green writing below " PHONE LOCKED".

Then I tried to boot the modified boot.img Code:

What you can do is go to settings > storage and change the Default Storage Location to SD card. Then use Links2SD to move stuff to the SD card. :) It seems that Huawei fixed the stupid Kitkat thing regarding moving stuff to the sdcard. woot.

Without partitioning, which to me is a pain in the arse.

I tried at least 6 email so far. Will try from another account to see if that is any better.

Just curious - if I get the product ID, IMEI, Serial etc. from the phone without any SIM, will that be different from those I get using the original ATT SIM (which I can't find any longer). I am wondering if that could be causing any issues in getting the unlocker code(it shouldn't I think)

Haven't tested it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookfan74:
Since I had no luck so far with huawei, I tried it with Y300-0000 in the above page and it didn't work for me. It kept saying "invalid product id" and it seems I need to enter the serial number under battery as it seems to expect the 16 digit serial.

I did a carrier unlock of this phone. Could that have caused any issues with generating the correct product id? My plan was to use it with a tmo MVNO.

Most likely this is going back to walmart this weekend. I have no use if I can't root and put a custom recovery.

Ok so finally after pretty much spamming Huawei all evening while I was working they sent me the code. I've been sending the same email everyday multiple times a day since Feb 15th. Thats pretty ridiculous. Now If i can read the guide and get the tools and get this to work like right away, I'll be happy. This phone pisses me off with the way the 4GB is handled, I can't go a day without having to uninstall a big app just to sync my gmail and ymail. Its crazy. This is my first root attempt but I'm not illiterate on android or pc. I'm no master but I used to run tech support at AT&T small business so I should be alright.

I finally sent all the information like serial number from phone, under the battery etc. Not sure if that made any real difference.

Unlocked bootloader and rooted the phone. However, I was unable to uninstall any of the ATT applications after root. Any idea if I can get rid of those to freeup space as I don't plan to use ATT?

I haven't installed TWRP yet.

Since the phone is rooted, will I be able to factory reset this phone from settings -> backup and reset ? Or do I need to do this from TWRP?

How are you all extending the flash memory on this phone to store more apps? Link2Sd or is there another better option?

Unlock Bootloader?

I have my unlock code but I have no idea how to use it, and make it unlock the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------

Hey, so I need to ask a few questions and get a clear understanding of what I'm doing and it what it means, because I'm new to this and I think it will help me not to make any mistakes or accidents. I'm going to say the steps I'm going to do. First, are these instructions to only unlock the boot loader or unlock and successfully root? So I will do the following:

>Install ADB/Fastboot

>debug

>connect to my PC

Boot loader mode is when you hold down the volume and power I'm guessing? But I don't need to do that.

>the command prompt comes on computer by itself or how do I get to it?

>I enter only "fastboot oem unlock(i have my code)" just exactly like that?

>(phone resets)

>go into bootloader mode?

>select "adb reboot bootloader"

>type "fastboot huawei-Y536A1-root.img" no spaces or anything?

Now how do I exit this, or will the phone do something?

Sorry for the bother, but I'm nervous I'm going do something wrong. It does sound simple, but it would be easier if I had this all planned out in my head first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobreak1970:
Yep. Go into boot loader mode first thing. I was mistaken.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonDoll:
This is so annoying, I can't get into the bootloader menu on my phone. I don't know where I went wrong. Are you suppose to release the volume down and power after a few seconds or is there an option to turn off fastboot in the settings? I can't find it. I wonder if anything would happen if I just went ahead and put in the unlock command from the computer.

Never mind I figured it our. I unlocked the bootloader. Rooting this phone is a nightmare. I've download the hwroot.

Get Root Checker to see if you are totally rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lin_ux:
That site is great, but you can't usually use the model number from a different phone to get your unlock code.

*You actually need to edit the scripts that run on that page to suit your model number, then it will work.

For those that are good at playing with html code, there is a very good method described in detail here: http://en.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=30795 which shows you how to do it, and it has worked (for me) on several models 100% every time, as long as you follow the instructions carefully and are capable of editing the code correctly as described.

*I have posted "how to" links on a couple of forums regarding this and many people are able to get their unlock codes easily, but it seems a lot of people are not capable of doing this themselves, it requires basic editing of HTML code which seems simple enough, but probably not for everyone...

I don't have the Y536A1 model so I can't test that the above method works for this model or not, but I do have several other Huawei phones and it has never failed yet.

Make sure that you use the exact, and correct details, otherwise you will get the wrong code!

This is what you will need:

-----------------------------

Serial Number: Q9J7N14A24123456

It should look something like the one above, you get the (S/N) serial number from the label under the battery.

IMEI:

get this from the label under the battery

Product ID: 52331234

it should look similar to the above. To get this dial * # * # 1357946 # * # * and it will show up on your display.

Model Number: Y536-A1

It probably looks like the above, it should be on the label under the battery

-----------------------------

I look forward to hearing how it goes after somebody gives it a try.

Perhaps someone who already has their unlock code from Huawei can try it out and check that the code it generates matches the one given to them by Huawei.

Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

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 know there is a bootloader unlock code for huawei (given that almost everyone was able to successfully receive one), and there is currently no way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader first. As for the details, I inputted my serial number and IMEI from the about phone > status in my phone, and typed in the correct code to the dialer for the product ID. So what went wrong? I've been looking forward to root this phone and moving to it, since my first phone (3GS) is dying (battery life, apps crashing). Any kind of clarification to how I can somehow get a bootloader code to enable me to root this phone would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you for your time!
