[Huawei Ascend G7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] JoshMartini85:
Another Working Method to Root Huawei Ascend G7-L01/L03

Greetings! :)

I got an Ascend G7 Recently and I needed to Root it as soon as I got it. That's why I kind of broke my head looking for the current methods to do it. I found this one very promising so I started working. I followed the steps that were given to us one by one. Everything was alright until I tried to install the Windos-Installer.bat as administrator, I tried to many ways to this method work, but as much as I tried, I couldn't go with it, that's why I started working for 11 hours until I got it. This Worked for me, and I want to share it with you.

Please read the following notes before you start by rooting your device:

-As usually, do it at your own risk, I'm not responsable of any brick, or issue that damaged your device.

-This Method is working great on Windows 10

-This Method is working at 04/08/2015

-This Method, was tried by me, the directions I give to you, are based on my work by rooting my device and my experience, the software and files included were made and posted by someone else including the person who wrote this post: http://xdaforums.com/general/help/h...-confirmed-t3125621/post61122491#post61122491

-You can find screenshots of the procedure below

-You will need a microSD

-I strongly recommend you to have at least 80% of battery to avoid risks of bricks

Here begins the directions:

1.- As has been said, you will need to unlock your device bootloader in order to root your phone. So as they said, you will need to write an email to Huawei. The mail you will send should look like this:

To: mobile@mail01.huawei.com,

mobile@huawei.com

Subject: (URGENT) Unlock Bootloader

Model: Huawei G7-L03/L01 (Depends on your version)

Serial Number: (The one that comes in your Huawei's box)

IMEI: (You can get it on your box or in the info included on Configuration->About the phone->State

Product ID: (You can get it by typing on the Dial the next code: *#*#1357946#*#*)

I appreciate your concern of reading this. Waiting for a response.

Sincerely: (Your name)

After a while (Could take between 15 minutes and 16 hours depending on their time) A Huawei worker will answer you something like this:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for supporting Huawei device. My working number is ****. Your unlock code :************** , please keeping your unlock code properly.Thank you!

Huawei Terminal Company limited

1.1.- (OPTIONAL) As we are going to unlock the bootloader, we are going to make a factory reset, so I strongly recomend you to make a backup with the official huawei backup app in order to restore our settings, apps, and files.

1.2.- Once Again, as has been said, you will need to download the whole Android suite (Android Studio) the last version, update your java version, and download the last drivers for your device (A good way to do the last is by installing the HiSuite of Huawei).

1.3.- You need to activate the debug mode. You can find it in: Configuration->Developer Options->USB Debug (If you dont have the Developer options enabled, you have to go to Configuration->About the phone->Compilation And tap this last one 7 times)

2.- Download the .rar a the end of the page and extract it where you want, includes everything we are going to need. [You must put the file ''superuser.zip'' on your microSD (In the root of the microSD)]. After Downloading it, you must open a cmd window, running it as administrator. After that you will write:

cd (Here you should paste the ubication of your extracted File Ex: C:\Users\Josh\Downloads\Root Ascend G7)

Now you are in this ubication that includes adb. Write:

adb devices

You should see: List of devices attached, a code and the word device (There is a capture below). If you do, we can proceed.

3.- Type :

adb reboot bootloader

It should load a white page with the Android pet and the words FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE Below there is the phrase ''PHONE LOCKED'' in color. Now type:

fastboot oem unlock *********** (The code Huawei gave to you)

Now your phone will make a factory reset. You will see how it reboots by itself and back to the default settings. You will need to activate the debug USB mode again. By this point its supposed your bootloader is now unlocked, to probe it, we will type again:

adb devices (To check it is correctly plugged)

Then we will type:

adb reboot bootloader

And now at the end of the page it should say: ''PHONE UNLOCKED''. If you do, we can proceed.

4.- At this point, you have two options: You can replace your stock recovery mode by a ClockWorkMod Recovery (I strongly recomend you to do that) or you can just ROOT the phone whithout replacing your stock recovery.

If you decided by replacing your stock recovery follow the next directions: We still have our CMD window opened and running adb while the phone it is on the bootloader mode. So now what you have to do it's to type:

fastboot flash recovery recoveryP.img (CMD will work and show a few commands)

And after that type:

fastboot reboot

Your phone will reboot again normally and we can proceed.

If you decided not to replace your stock recovery instead of typing ''fastboot flash recovery recoveryP.img'' you have to type:

fastboot boot recoveryP.img (This will send you directly to CWM recovery)

5.- You must acces to CWM Recovery.

If you installed it on your phone, turn off your device and then press the power button and vol+ until the Huawei logo appears, you should be in the recovery mode by now.

If you didn't install it, you already are in CWM recovery.

6.- With the vol and power buttons or the touch buttons at the end you should be able to navigate on the recovery. We go to:

Advanced Functions->Re-root System (SuperSu)->Yes-Apply SuperSu (You will see a few code at the end of the screen)

7.- Without leaving the recovery mode, go to the main screen and now we go to:

Install Zip->Choose zip from /sdcard->superuser.zip (The one that you previously putted on your microSD)->Yes-Install superuser.zip

(You will see again a few code at the end of the page) We go back to the main screen and Select:

Reboot System now

8.- It's supposed we are ROOT now. At first you will see the ''superuser'' app installed. To probe that works, Install ''android-terminal-emulator-1-0-70-multi-android.apk'' that it is included on the folder ''Terminal'' form the file you downloaded. Now open a new terminal window and type

su (If everything worked, superuser will ask for permissions)

8.1.- Restore your data with the Huawei Backup App

And that is all we have superuser acces now. If you have any question or issue let me know and I will help you.
