[Huawei Ascend P7] epicluzz:
Hello everyone

This is my first post on XDA, though i have been faithfully following the XDA forums throughout my rooting process and you guys have been amazing help since I started.

I have been scouring the entire XDA site and the interweb for answers, but to no avail...

My situation as detailed as i can make it: I rooted with iRoot about a month ago, everything went smoothly and i was greeted with a Kinguser app, everything was so new and strange, after a few days of intense reading I on XDA I was ready to take advantage of the new found power I had unlocked. After a lot of apps and optimization (greenify, setcpu etc. ) I was ready for the next step.

My device: Huawei Ascend P, Android version 4.4.2, Emotion UI 2.3, Build : P7-L10V100R001C00B121SP01, I have never flashed a rom (so im assuming I still use stock rom).

Problem: #1) I followed a tutorial explaining how to partition SD card (16gb) with Aparted application, Partition 1 = 6gb fat32. Partition 2 = 10gb ext4. (Sucessfully backed up SD contents to pc, partitioning went smooth and without error)

#2) I continued with the tutorial, next step was to download link2sd, in order to mount the ext4 partition, as my phone wasn't reading the ext4 partition yet, this is where the trouble started intensifying... after installing link2sd, i followed the steps to mount the ext4 partition, after a few failed attempts (Kinguser kept prompting for link2sd's root acces, even after changing from prompt to allow. Link2SD simply didnt gain root access...

#3) the tutorial then had a step 3 (manual mounting the partition via Root Explorer) I then proceeded to download Root Explorer and followed the steps explained.

***I will try to explain what i did as detailed as possible, though it is hard as i lost all browser history

#4) I copied 5 folders from the data folder (usually hidden from standard explorer) i cant recall the file names as it was a few days ago, I recall vaguely dalvik and data were partials of some folder names, i copied the folders into a folder i assumed was made by link2sd (I think it was also in the data directory, though unsure) as required by the tutorial.

#5) Then i had to select 1 of the copied files at a time in the new destination (while still using root explorer) and > options > Create link to...

#6) I went back to the original folder and selected the corresponding folder to link. ie. Linked copied dalvik to original dalvik file. A message prompt showed in root explorer in the line of : "File already exists, confirm merge and overwrite" ? i confirmed, after a brief load another prompt showed : "failed to create symbolic link, [something about not getting sufficient root access]".

#7) I saw on top left of root explorer was a toggle setting (current setting was R/o (read only)) i tapped it and it changed to (R/W read and write) and repeated step 5 and 6, 2 out of the 5 folders successfully linked (though wasnt confirmed by successful message, just the absence of the usual failure message) the other 3 refused to link, shortly after ALL of my apps started to "[app] not responding"(starting with google play store).

#8) I rebooted device (powering off and on via power button), after huawei logo a never before seen dialogue box appeared "Updating Android... [as header] and it started "updating" all my apps, one at a time, followed by updating contacts).

#9) Once booted my device was restored to less than factory defaults... no apps can install "App not installed", no apps are installed according to my device, i only have: Themes, Calendar, Clock, Email [huawei client], contacts (ONLY 3 LEFT, the ones i had on my memory card, so all my contacts have been wiped), phone manager, settings, browser, mirror, kinguser(does not serve any function currently[only record in log is Root explorer [Allow 3, forbid 0] from the date of incident], gallery, music, camera, file manager, polaris office, magic tag, weather, flashlight, calculator, notes, sound recorder, fm radio, backup, magnifier, system update, downloads, app installer, cellc, dlna.

Trouble shooting so far:

I tried doing a factory reset : Options>Backup&reset>Factory Reset. Reboots, then same happens (all app data on phone memory still there and un-wiped[verified through file manager].

After hours and countless videos and forums, my phone still hasn't booted into recovery mode (Vol +, Power button) (Vol +, vol-, powerbutton) (powerbutton, synchronized plug in of wall socket charger) none works, Huawei logo for about a minute then black screen again, tried holding for all combinations ie long press, short press n hold etc...

Also my phone doesnt allow connection via huawei pc suite app, so i have no way to fix this

Side note: Kernel version used to be dalvik, it seems to have changed and currently is :

3.0.8-00346-gd8d2e4a
