Hello all, I have a question.

To unlock the bootloader, if Huawei is just not email the code, is there a away around that? A way to get the code from the phone at all? THanks, I really want to unlock the bootloader, but Huawei is not emailing the code it seems. Thanks.

I looked through this thread, but may have missed it. Are there any ROMs to DL for the Y536A1?

I am looking pretty much for a clean ROM that does not have all the extra stuff from the carriers.

If somebody could point me in the right direction to grab a ROM that will work on this phone, it would be much appreciated.

Just thought I'd drop this here, I got this case for my phone and it really improves the look and feel in my opinion: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351411615341

I do have a question about getting the bloatware off of it, though, I've rooted with Kingoroot but can't figure out how to get the file systems to mount r/w. I used to use Root Explorer on other devices but that doesn't seem to work, nor did the simple "mount rw" apps I've found. I haven't unlocked the bootloader, is that necessary? Very happy with the phone for the price, but 4GB is very tight.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
You have to manually delete them if you read through the whole thread. I have posted about deleting the bloatware before.

Is there a way we could move some partitions around to maximize storage space? Im constantly getting storage warnings even after removing some of the bloatware (got rid of chrome and other most offensive apps, some remain and refuse to be removed, i.e. famigo), so what im wondering is, this device has a 4g "internal sd" if im not mistaken, but it seems to me that I can only choose between internal or external sd, no option seems to exist for using both concurrently, so I have a 32g sdcard and the "internal sd" storage is just sitting there, unused, while my phone complains about not having enough storage space. Ive been wanting to find a way to move apps to that partition to free up space, could this be possible?

There is a switch in settings>storage to switch between internal or external sd, and when I choose external, it seems to change the symlinks/mount points to the external sdcard, which basically "hides" the internal memory from being seen or used. I would like to be able to take advantage of that unused space. Any thoughts on this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
Look through the threads on this phone I have already explained several times how to remove this apps that refuse to be removed. Concurrent storage use is only possible on Android m and when it is set to external storage if a app supports installation to SD card it will be moved to SD card. Most apps do not support this feature and it does not move the app data only part of the app.

Ive been emailing Huawei for a couple of weeks now and still have not received a unlock code from them. Is there any other way to unlock the bootloader in this phone. Havent found much help in the Huawei forums. The DC Unlocker from 2013 does not detect this phone. Just thought I would try. The Huawei bootloader unlock code generator page never opens for me. Always says thats it 403 forbidden. The codes in the Huawei product generator never work. Anyone have any ideas??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] techdeisel:
Ok this is just a quick reply but yes there is a different way to get an unlock code if you can go back and read through the first I think 3 pages of the thread and if you don't see it when I get off work I'll not only find it and link it but at some point this evening I'll make a video
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mentalityx:
Went back thru the pages and read and read. Still have not been able to unlock the bootloader. Not able to open the en.club.vmall.com links as they are 403 Forbidden when I click on them. Never had this much trouble with a device before.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
Huawei shut down those links you have to sent an email or several until you get the code back.

Any solutions to this??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
Hm any more info like modifications he has made and stuff like that
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mentalityx:
Actually the phone is all stock, it's still locked but rooted. He said he was restoring some messages using Titanium Backup earlier and the app asked if he wanted to use Titanium as his default app and he said yes. I looked in the settings and the default is still the stock messaging app. Other than that the system/app looks good and so does the system/priv-app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
I recommend you root before using tb but If you have not rooted then try factory resetting the phone

He is definitely rooted but the bootloader is still locked.

Work still happening...

Hey guys I've been posting in the other forum, I have actually been working on this phone for a bit now. Life tho has taken up most of my time. But right now I am researching other kernels and looking to implement them in. CM is possible, but that is down the road. Right now I am just creating a optimized stock rom... I am having to back track some so that things will work fluidly with other people. I have gone pretty deep into things. Even repartitioning the internal MMC so squeeze out as much space as i can. So just bare with me and I will give ya'll something to be proud of. This phone is my my dialy driver, so stability is the most important thing to me.

Hello everybody,

I already unlocked bootloader and rooted the phone but have a few questions (btw I got the code by changing the request code page to chinese and following a guide someone posted in this forum),

Has anyone been able to remove the carrier name from the notification bar?

I realize I can install TWRP now, will this be the correct version to try? What benefits do I have with TWRP, If my only request is to remove the carrier name from the notification bar?

I tried unsuccessfully to replace superuser with SuperSU, It looses root permission, has anybody been able to use SuperSU?

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
You can not use supersu on this phone for some reason on the stock rom. Not really sure why but when i was still using this phone as my main driver i tryed to get supersu to work several different ways. It will not work. Nothing but superuser will work.

P.s. if someone ever makes a cm11 rom for this phone supersu will probably work with that. But cm will probably never come to this phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] guajojo:
Thanks for your answer, Can you enlighten me on whether is worth to install the TWRP custom recovery or not? Is it necessary for Xposed framework? I want to get rid of the network name on the notification panel.

It is probably not necessary to get xposed but i recommend installing twrp as a way to fix your phone if something goes wrong. You would not believe how many times i was thankful i had installed twrp on that phone.

AT&T Fusion 3 won't install xposed framework

I think I have figured out a way to get xposed framework but I need help. I have done a lot of research and I have found out that the system file is a read only file access. What I need to do is change it to read and write so the xposed installer can install and work in the /system. I really need a full reply on how to change this because I used root explorer and ES File Explorer and both would not be able to transfer this file to read and write. What I think the file is found is restriction access to this and it's like a permission or something. I know I am all over the place but I need the support and help of someone who would help me.

It shut down and won't turn on from the power button.

The battery voltage is 4.28 volts.

Any suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZamZing:
Make sure your battery is charged (sometimes the charger fails, so check that too) then try this:

Remove the battery. Reseat sim and sd cards. Wait a bit. Re-install battery. Turn phone on. Good?

If not, can you turn phone on while connected to power? Can you boot into recovery?

SuperSU on Huawei Y536a1

I actually have SuperSU working on this device, BUT I can only use it, if I settle for leaving the default action set to 'Approve', as the prompt screen simply will not ever appear. In fact, when I recently reflashed (OEM) & rerooted, I HAD TO replace Superuser with SuperSU, in order for Titanium Backup to even load.

Just be sure to install SuperSU, and allow SuperSU to uninstall Superuser, when it prompts. This method preserves root.

I wish I could get SuperSU to prompt, for security, but I have my device buttoned down fairly tight via other utilities.

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

If your device is rooted, simply use Xposed Installer. It is quite easy. Xposed, however, is limited on this device. Xprivacy and similar modules will work fine, but modules affecting GUI generally won't work.

AT&T software update

Has anyone got the software update to install? It fails with an error message that goes by too fast to read. I suspect it fails because the phone is rooted or because I have removed some bloatware that it wants to update.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZamZing:
Still using it daily. Any new info/tweaks greatly appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:
Mine won't install it either. I tried searching for info about the update, and the most recent one I can find appears it was a Dec 2015 release, which was just security patches.

Short of a Lollipop or Marshmallow upgrade, I don't think it's worth the effort of unrooting & reflashing stock (easy enough), rerooting, re-removing all the bloatware, then reinstalling all my apps/utilities and reconfiguring all my settings. (I think it's safe to assume THOSE updates will NOT be coming for this phone.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:
I found a way to get Xposed fully working (without disabling resource hooks), but it will not work with Xposed 2.6+.

This was made possible by following instructions for disabling the EMUI theming engine, found in a thread for installing VIPER4Android.

This means, I'm now able to use modules, which tweak otherwise unavailable theming elements...but I cannot run modules requiring the newer (54+) Xposed bridge.

Hopefully a future Xposed update will make BOTH possible.

Huawei makes some great devices, fully compatible with US LTE networks, offered at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, their customized ROMs come with some unique obstacles for power-users. [emoji52]

SuperSU FULLY Functional on Huawei Y536A1! Xposed is still a work in progress.

:cowboy:Greetings, y'all!

:confused:I don't know how MUCH interest there still is in this device...BUT...I'm hoping we can revive it a bit.

:cool:I have fully deodexed the device and modified lsattr, and the results are:

:victory:SuperSU is now FULLY functional!

:rolleyes:Previously, I ran SuperSU (for too long) on this device, with default action set to "Grant," because I could not get the prompts to appear.

:good:Prompts now work as intended.​

:DI have successfully eliminated nearly all pre-installed apps (/system/app/*, /system/priv-app/*, and /cust/att/us/app/*) further unlocking access to make changes to the device. Those which I use, I've reinstalled as user apps, allowing easy access to uninstall at any time, if desired. Furthermore, it has cleared a LOT of space from the ROM. I am actually investigating the pros/cons of modifying the partitions, to make more of that free space available as user-accessible (app/data/media) space.

:mad:As for Xposed.... THAT is still proving QUITE challenging.

With my present modifications to the system, I can successfully install and use Xposed in either of 2 ways:

Install Xposed v2.6.1 or v2.7, by first selecting the option (in settings) to disable the resource hooks used for theming. This option allows the use of certain newer modules (eg: Per App Settings, XPrivacy, etc), which require the newer Xposed Bridge, BUT it disables theming tweaks.

Run Xposed v2.5.1, which is fully functional, but it's outdated. This option allows for theming tweaks, etc, which are not available in the limited application of newer versions of Xposed, but is NOT compatible with modules requiring the newer versions of the Xposed Bridge.

:rolleyes:I am NOT satisfied with this either/or scenario, so I am continuing to chop away at this compatibility issue.

:mad:As this EmotionUI is REALLY aggravating to work with, I was looking for a simple method of rooting out the Huawei, to leave a clean-ish Android OS...but so far...such a process seems HIGHLY unlikely.

:confused:If you have any suggestions regarding specific directions I might want to explore for Xposed, PLEASE share.

:cool:I'm debating whether it's worth the effort (cleaning all personal data, eliminating paid/upgraded apps, etc) to create a distributable TWRP backup of this build. PLEASE let me know if you would be interested in this. If there is adequate interest, I WILL share.

:highfive:Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:
THANK YOU, SO MUCH for this recovery!

It has allowed me to do far more with this quirky device than I (or others, it would seem) ever thought was possible.

Unrelated (kind of) question:

I have removed the AT&T Software Update (OTA) .apk, as it was completely useless on a substantially modified build. The only problem is, I haven't figured out how to remove the entry for it in the settings menu. I'm assuming it will require some basic code modifications to do so. Would you be willing to tackle that, or might you know someone else I could try contacting?

I'm a little intimidated by this one...but will certainly be exploring some on my own, as well.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mpj1978:

No true custom ROMs. The kernel generated too many errors for the group who tried to port CM.

I will be uploading a deodexed, debloated version of factory Android (v4.4.3) with fully functional SuperSU and Xposed v2.5.1, either later today or early this week.

It's stable, but I've found a couple of apps (link2sd and WiFi Passwords (Xposed module)) will cause a persistent "Android is upgrading...Optimizing app [x] of [y]" upon startup. I'm currently waiting for a response from the link2sd developer, hoping to identify a fix for this.

Subscribe to this thread for the updates, as soon as it's available, as well as for continued improvements.
