Yes, I did. Both times superuser app was installed and it would pop up the window when apps would ask for root rights and I could grant them, but couldn't uninstall system apps. I even tried KingRoot apk and pc version, apk version said I had root but still no access to system apps. PC version wouldn't even root it. What all are you able to do with your root access? I usually just use it for getting rid of bloatware. Anyway, I appreciate everyone's work on this phone, but it was still a frustrating morning.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
Some system apps have to be manually deleted. did you try to verify root access with root checker
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ilmcgee:
Root check said no root each time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
Is your bootloader unlocked? Also exactly how did you root?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ilmcgee:
fo

Checked boot loader - locked

Got code, fastboot, entered commands - unlocked

Manually flashed root.IMG - no root superuser installed

Factory reset

Auto flash root.IMG - no root superuser installed

Factory reset

Kingroot - no root kinguser and other crap installed

Flashed factory fresh img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
Have you flashed twrp recovery because when troubleshooting it is a lot safer if you have it installed. 1 more thing are you following the guide exactly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
You beat me to it.

:thumbup:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ilmcgee:
Forgot that, flashed twrp first after bootloader unlock and made backup as well. I don't know what steps I could have missed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
2 things first did you have the drivers installed on your pc and did you flash from fastboot mode. Are you using the instructions from the beginning of this thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ilmcgee:
Yep, drivers installed on pc.

Other day last thing was flash factory image. Today did factory reset and then installed kingroot, got root and verified with two root checkers, the same ones that said I didn't have root the other day. Was able to delete some system apps. Don't understand why I can't delete some others (YP and Uber for example). Downloaded es file manager which usually works great for me and replaces several factory apps, couldnt find those apk files in system directory anywhere.

Anyway, appreciate all the help and suggestions. Having rooted and modded several phones, having trouble with this one is frustrating.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
OK still don't know what your issue was but about the system apps. I was actually the one that figured out how to do that for this phone first. Go to the location In this screenshot and delete bloatware from there. There is also some bloatware in system apps and priv-app. I already removed my bloatware that is why you do not see much in the picture.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ilmcgee:
Thanks for all your help, this phone is setup much different than I'm used to. Kinda spoiled, first phone in awhile without CyanogenMod to flash.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
I know exactly how you feel!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ilmcgee:
Got out computer today and flashed factory image again and then flashed recovery and root-boot image and now have root with Superuser. I bought this phone used and wonder if someone else had already tinkered with getting root and wasn't clearing with a reset. But flashing factory image did clear anything they might have done. That's the only thing I can think of that could have happened, because I followed same steps today as I did before. Anyway, big thanks for all the suggestions and help, and of course for the hard work put in on rooting and making a recovery. This is a pretty great device and it needed root to reach its full potential.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
I'm happy you got it work out. :beer:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
Recommendation: root with KINGOROOT. Not Kingroot.

No hassle and no outside communication except to check for updates now and then.

[MENTION=2930839]nobreak1970[/MENTION] (and anybody else that helped), thank you so much for your work in getting root on this device! I was attempting to get us root last year when the device first came out(ish), I was bootloader unlocked and working on getting a system dump, and then my laptop was stolen about a week or so before christmas last year so I was unable to make any further progress but I am now fully rooted and running twrp recovery and have made two full system backups without incident, I will be doing further testing to make sure there are no issues, but I have not had any so far.

Did I hear you say that koush's superuser is the only one that works? Or can I replace it for SuperSu?

I have another laptop now but its not the best, it was given to me by a friend just so id have a computer... I dunno if it can handle building an android or not, but I might try and see if I can build an AOSP rom, if I do ill definitely share it but im not even set up to build right now so whenever I get time to mess with it, we'll see what the ole lappy's got.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
Don't try using SuperSU on the stock rom. I tried several things to make it work and it does not work with anything I have tried yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
Good job!

Hey guys been a very long time since i was in the Android scene... completely did away with cell phones for several years. Recently went and picked up one of these phones and decided to get back in the grove of things. So far here is what I've done, obviously it has been rooted, TWRP Recovery has been installed, the "/cust" partition has been removed, other random Huawei & ATT bloatware has been removed, The ATT 4G LTE APN has been tweaked. it has been Deodexed and zip aligned. Basically what i'm int he process of doing is stripping it down to a Lite Weight Clean Rom. All partitions have been dumped individually after a full wipe and fresh install (dump was performed BEFORE OS booted for first time to ensure to extra configuration was included from my testing). What I'm doing now is attempting to compile the kernel so that I can properly align and distribute the partitions in the partition table. I am also going to be go through and performing some "Build" tweaks on the system. Once I am happy with how everything is I will create a flashable setup for others to use as well. But wanted to say thanks to everyone for the starting points to help and old dog get back into the game.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mentalityx:
How goes the progress on this??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
Sorry, been rather busy. Going through a nasty divorce involving three kids which I now have full custody of. So this phone has been my daily driver with out any major issues. The only quirk is that it will boot to recovery after being completely discharged. With TWRP that's not a big deal for me. So, what I ended up doing was a partial repartition of the emmc. Basically the last 4 parts to be exact. Gimme a few and I will find an app to show the partition info and will do a screen shot. My biggest goal was to reclaim some user data space.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
Here is how I have a the partitions. With them being custom, a "out the gate flashable zip won't work. People would have to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, download my IMG's and batch for adb to resize the phone and flash the new images of the partitions. Once that's done then they could use flashable zips.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
And here are some other shots, some showing what apps are taken out, that hotspot works, and a benchmark is also included
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
Just got off work but plan to look into cleaning up the batch and making fresh images and publishing them. Does anyone have a bench mark test they could share, didn't get one pulled before doing all the mods.

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

One other note, have not yet compiled the kernel. That's also on my to-do list. I did find some interesting broken links to a factory unbranded update.app still trying to track a valid one down
[Miscellaneous Android Development] guajojo:
I tried kingoroot and my recommendation is don't even bother with any "king" root, refused to uninstall and gives recommendation to more crappy downloads. My goto root tool is superSU but is not working with this exploit. Superuser seems to be the only option
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
I would just flash the root img after unlocking boot loader and installing TWRP recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
Supersu will not work even if you flash it from twrp. It is a problem with the stock rom and there are no alternative roms for this phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
I am rooted just fine, using a slimmed down stock rom I made.

How to unlock?

I haven't found clear instructions on how to unlock the phone! Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I've googled and all I find is sites willing to charge me for the service of unlocking when I'm fully capable of doing so myself. I just need someone to point me in the right direction. I downloaded the file needed the Y536.kernel.source that was listed in this tutorial on rooting this device. I'm just not sure how to boot the phone into bootloader and apply the kernel to unlock the phone. Help please?

Alternate Root Method

Since we now have TWRP, this phone CAN be rooted using SuperSU (zip method). SuperSU works fine on this device, IF you set default action to "Grant," not "Prompt."

For some reason, SuperSU will NOT prompt (prompt never appears).

Any solution for the lack of prompt would be GREATLY appreciated, as I've been trying for about a year with no luck.

ALSO, Xposed works (sort of). There are 2 options:

1. Version 1.6.1 works, but resource hooks MUST be disabled in Xposed settings. (This avoids conflicts with Huawei ROM, but also makes many modules useless.)

2. If you remove/disable lsattr, Xposed 1.5.1 will work FULLY, but since this uses a pre-v54 Xposed bridge, it is incompatible with a few modules (e.g.: Xprivacy, APM+), and some other modules (e.g.: App Settings) require you to use an earlier version from the repository.

Since Xposed is now focused on Lollipop & Marshmallow, I doubt we can expect a fix.

I have found lots of theories that Xposed will work, with lsattr fix (mentioned above), IF device is fully deodexed...but this is proving VERY challenging for me to accomplish.

Titanium Backup and other simple methods to deodex have proven unsuccessful with this ROM, so I'm continuing to seek out other alternatives. (I bet you can guess that simply removing the odes files doesn't work, either.) AGAIN, any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sk1788-cn:
DU manager blocks dropzone prompts, the popup, but if there is some rom dev for aosp 4.4.4 or even 5.1 it would be great not DU manager EMUI
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:
Fully deodexing the ROM had SuperSU running like a champ...even before removing any OEM software.

I've posted a link to a TWRP backup with modifications, in the master thread for this device. It's not perfect, but it's a huge step in the right direction.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] frostbyte71901:
First bug I have noticed in the ROM is Bluetooth does not work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:
I figured this out recently, too. I'm trying to find a fix, which doesn't involve a full rebuild. Somehow, one of the necessary bluetooth apps was deleted from my folder of deodexed OEM apps. The real obstacle, though, is that the APK cannot be installed by the system, due to a missing signatures error.

It looks like, whether I like it or not, I'm going to have to start over, from full-factory, in order to resolve this. :crying:

I'll get a rebuild up as soon as I'm able, but it may be a week or so.

When I do, I'll likely post two versions (1 with all factory apps, 1 debloated, both deodexed & with SuperSU).

Please excuse my delay in responding. I somehow missed the notification for your post.

Still a way to ROOT the Y536-A1.....

The above was NOT a problem for me since I followed these methods to get my Y536A1 rooted:

My unlock bootloader /rooting methods used:

Only need FOUR things:

1. Your bootloader unlock code

2. The TWRP recovery file "recovery_twrp2860.img" (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3315397&d=1431763216) copy this file into the directory called "adb" on your computer.

3. Superuser Update: (copy this file on your SD Card root directory)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2bfaNdWv2R0aUpPREhyUTBnZEk/view?usp=sharing

Power off your phone and REMOVE YOUR SDCard cause not doing this will ERASE IT

4. Install ADB, Fastboot and Drivers from xda-developers on your computer, noting the install location directory:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

•	Open the folder where you've installed the above tools. (directory called "adb") Hold the Shift key and right click inside the folder to Open a Command box Window here.

To test whether ADB is working properly, connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable and run the following command in the black command box opened FROM the adb directory that was created from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979. Note, you will get the "not recognized as internal or external” error if you start the command box from any other directory.

•	And issue this to see if your phone is connected: adb devices

•	With your phone Connected, then you can reboot into fast bootloader using the following command.

adb reboot bootloader

•	Enter the command to unlock:

Adb fastboot oem unlock <unlock-code>

•	Here replace <unlock-code> with the unlock code you get in the email response.

Example:

fastboot oem unlock 8924447361245645

and it worked, quickly ERASED EVERYTHING inside my phone and rebooted itself.

You can check unlocked bootloader by holding the down vol and power keys to boot into fast bootloader and read at bottom of screen for UNLOCKED

Then,

Copy the TWRP.img Recovery file into the adb directory on your computer, and issue this command in the command box:

fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp2860.img

you will see writing “recovery” , and OKAY in 1.6 seconds.

Remove the USB cord, Hold the power key, and remove the battery when it restarts to stop the auto reboot.

Hold the VOL UP and Power keys to start in the recovery mode and make sure TWRP was installed.

Make a full backup now to the SD card using the TWRP option.

Reboot into the TWRP bootloader, press Install and install the #3 Update SuperUser file above, so you phone will be fully rooted.

Install a root checker app from the Google Play store and check for root.....

Done.....none of that snooping by KingRoot or KingoRoot......:laugh:

You can use TRWP to installl custom ROMs if you like.

Huawei Y536A1 Brick Fix

Ok, after trying all the learning and experimenting, I completely bricked my A536A1. :eek:opps.:mad::( It would only boot into fast boot mode and was NOT recognized by the adb devices command. It took me days to find the necessary method to unbrick, but its back. Do this if you are bricked like above.:

Download Original Factory Image from the first page of this forum or at :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B47CFHHu0PhPS3k0eEFaYzZ5MmM/view

Take your sd card out and attach it to your computer and unzip the files from the Original Factory Image above into a folder in the root of the sd card named dload. Thereby, this dload fold will contain two files: UPDATE.APP and update.xml

Place the sd card back into your phone and press and hold both vol keys and the power key until you get the android image and the message:

"check sd update pkg is exist make sure usb cable has been inserted usb update starting". or "check sd update pkg is exist.........checking..........".

if you get the message "check sd update pkg is exist make sure usb cable has been inserted usb update starting", then your phone cannot read the dload directory files and you will likely have to format the sd card and write the dload directory again.

if you get the "check sd update pkg is exist.........checking..........". message, the install will proceed automatically and will automatically reboot into your restored Y536A1. NOTE your phone will be restored WITH the STOCK RECOVERY.

Back in business!!:D

[Miscellaneous Android Development] OptimusPrima:
So... how did all that work out?

Would you mind following up on this post? I may have missed the 'post'-post in all the sea of miscellaneous. I have two of these models that I am digging deep into and plan to post a comprehensive brief when done but want to gather all the facts before I do. Your input would be greatly valued. There are a few misleading tips within all the comments that I am going to straighten out and clarify for everyone still interested in these phones or just now coming across them. I've been working on "smart-ass" phones since day one with beginning with the LG Chocolate Slide/Touch and then my old flame the LG Optimus S LS670 which is still a little brute. Ol' Optimus Primal pretty much just functions as a hotspot and back up telephone when needed since he's slimmed down to basics but damn, still out performs routers and hotspots left and right. Found a way to keep unlimited non-throttled service on it for FREE and will share that with anyone who wants to PM me.

Moving on, the point of the spiel was that I've had my hands on just about every phone that has came out and this Tribute / Fusion 3 is just so damned impressive that I want to keep interest in it alive so will take over the forum threads once I have all interested parties on board.

Why? Because I believe it's capable of hosting and running Project Fi and will free a lot of us up from having to buy into the supposed Nexus only trap. I had the chance to get the Nexus' at half price through the Fi promo but still couldn't bring myself to bow because something eating at my intuition tells me there is always another way.

I'm currently running FreedomPop Global SIM on the Fusion 3 and must say, that sh@ts dope.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-SHOX:
Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar issue to me and how you resolved it.

I've searched the forums and found nothing more than what I've been doing.

A few months ago I dismissed the Lollipop update because I wasn't on WiFi for a few days. I dismissed it multiple times and then it stopped showing up. I went to check for system updates and it just said no available updates. Even now in January it's still saying the same thing and I haven't had any subsequent notifications to install the Lollipop update.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :good:
