[Ascend Mate 7 Android Development] mattwheat:
Let me start off by saying I'm new to the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 but I'm no newcomer to Android. I've been a member of XDA for some years now. Since before IceCream sandwich. I've done my far share to help out this community as it has helped me. I'm originally a themer, but lately been working on a few ROMs. Mostly tweaked based on stock, deodexed, zip aligned, debloated, and build prop mods.

My worth I bring to the table is I'm just BALLSY and experienced enough to try anything and flash just about anything. (With in reason of course). I seem to have acquired a unique talent to be able to unbrick every device that's been laid before me over the passed year or so as well as a few of my own. And have aided in the unbricking of several peoples device that have reached out to me on here.

So with this uncanny ability to be able to unbrick devices I took it upon myself to take a few stabs at gaining root and flashing CWM to my MT7-L09 without unlocking the boot loader. Due to reading post after post of people not getting replies from their emails to Huawei asking for an unlock code.

So now to the point......

I can in NO way take credit for this development nor do I take any responsibility for your actions or decisions to follow this guide unsuccessfully.

1. First I downloaded the 141 update with Supersu built in thats posted here in this forum and the Mate7.zip posted here as well.

Moved the 141 update with SU titled Update.zip to my sdcard/dload.

2. Went to settings/updater clocked MENU at the bottom, then selected LOCAL UPDATE.

3. After it completed (which took about 5 mins) I rebooted installed SuoerSu from the play store and SuperSu Pro. And opened to update binary.

4. Then used a Root Browser to locate the Mate7.zip that I downloaded earlier in the same forum. I then extracted its contents.

5. Download FLASHIFY from the play store. Grant SuperSU permission. And use FLASHIFY to flash the CWMRECOVERY.zip that was also in the Mate7.zip file that you extracted earlier.

6. And this is the most important thing. I don't know how many times I've seen people start modding and flashing then brick and ask for help only to realize "no I didn't make a backup". ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLING A CUSTOM RECOVERY. If you don't then you have no one to blame but yourself when you can restore.

So as stated above I had no hand in developing any of this. Its just a method I used to gain root, update, and gain CWM recovery WITHOUT boot loader unlock.

And here's the copied text from URYLDOR's forum where I found all the essential pieces I used to gain all this. I did not unlock my boot loader though. This method nor any other would work for me so I took a shot in the dark at my method just to get root, CWM, and update as well.

ALL THANKS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO HIM FOR HIS DEVELOPMENT and if my method works for you then youre welcome to thank me for it and it alone but thank [MENTION=2907269]Uryldor[/MENTION] too.

Here is the translated guide to unlock bootloader on European model from the link I posted earlier.

I’m not responsible of any damage made to your device.

Download, unzip and run the Huawei product ID generator then select Huawei Y300-0000 in the product model field. Paste your IMEI in the product IMEI field and it should give you a product ID. We will use it later.

Go to http://en.club.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=apply tick the box at the end of the Unlocking Agreement and click next.

Here is what to choose/write in the form:

Product type: Smartphone

Product model: Huawei Y300-0000

Product SN: The SN of your Mate 7

Product IMEI/MEID: The IMEI of your Mate 7

Product ID: The number Product ID Generator gave you.

Enter the captcha and click submit.

Now it should give you your unlock code.

Download mate7.zip from https://mega.co.nz/#!aB8mRATA!nY7VJPUEESxBv5iRZ95vORbcjUQwLoyEyHagPi6RMGI and unzip it.

Install the driver if needed by running Driver\all\DriverSetup.exe

Copy SuperSU-PRO-V2.09.zip to your sd card.

Reboot your Mate in fastboot by holding Volume Down+Power for 10 seconds and plug it.

Unzip Recovery_b119.zip, go to tools, hold Shift and right click then choose “Open command windows here.

Type:

Now your bootloader is unlocked. Don’t close the command windows, now we will install the ClockWorkMod recovery.

In the window type:

You can flash recovery_stock.img with the same command if you want to revert back to the stock recovery.

Now go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Power for 10 seconds.

Then go to:

Install zip>choose zip from /storage/sdcard1> SuperSU-PRO-V2.09.zip and select yes.

Reboot.

Your Mate 7 is now unlocked and rooted!
