I've done all the necessary steps except In fastboot mode when I type the command it says waiting for device. I can send adb commands all I want when the device is booted on the OS. I have selected USB debugging, I have enabled oem unlock and retrieved my unlock code.

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] akatietje:
I had this problem too. It was my version of fastboot on my Windows device - something was old and out of date. Solved it by running "./fastboot oem unlock CODE" on my mac. My understanding was that I could have done it on the windows machine with a newer fastboot, though.

Maybe try the latest version of minimal adb fastboot from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

I was having that same issue and I don't really know how I fixed it. I uninstalled my phone drives downloaded Android SDK and installed the program the link gave and it worked after that. Not sure what really fixed it. I thought it was allowing OEM to be unlocked. Maybe that's not what fixed it. I was on Windows 10 BTW
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] powerserge1:
Thanks for testing guys! Hope we can get root soon so the bloatware can be uninstalled and free up some space. Then maybe a custom ROM will come around
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
Nice fellow 903 lol!
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
OK first we need to pull the stock recovery. And build twrp

Only way we going to get root
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] enigma2446:
Thanks for reply, Ill start from scratch when I get home. Did you have hisuite installed on your pc? And did you have hisuite enabled on the device?

"Mvno Master"
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] enigma2446:
We could use the Huawei ascend mate 2 twrp as a template/starting point. The 2 devices are very similar. If someone can pull the stock recovery I can see what I can do.

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
Going to run into problem with that:

One phone share the same screen but that's it.

They have different version of Android

So the partition are most likely not be in the same location.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
I've been looking on how to pull the stock recovery without rooting. Not looking good.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] enigma2446:
When you unlocked the Bootloader did you have hisuite installed on computer and was it enabled in the devices settings?

"Mvno Master"
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
Idk I don't think so. I just plugged in and window 10 pro did the rest
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] enigma2446:
I can't seem to figure it out. I've done everything to unlock the Bootloader except the Fastboot part dosnt recognize the device while in Fastboot. I've deleted everything on my laptop and factory reset the device and still can't get it to work.

Check device manager when your in fastboot. I had the same issue. Had to pick the device driver on Win10. Also sometimes Android Naked driver conflicts if you have ever installed it. Boot into advanced mode in Windows and disable driver signature during boot.

Most manufacturers release the source code under the phones support page in the download section. Asus was always good about that.

Is it just my device or do you guys experience crackling with the speak on high notes.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
just yours
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
It probably depends on what volume setting is and content being played, so specifying those two and maybe a YouTube video link that when playing on your phone causes the crackles might net you more responses here.. . . Maybe? :)

Mines still in the box waiting for root.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] shawnchalfant:
Happens when I'm testing out the stock notification sounds. Sometimes it crackles, other times it doesn't. Nothing to do with YouTube or other media playback. Just when testing ringers or notifications.

[MENTION=2445485]903tex[/MENTION],

How did you determine the XT partition information?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] powerserge1:
For those testing with adb and not getting the phone to receive commands there is a hidden menu through dialer that you can try. I have not tried it and not sure if it makes a difference.

*#*#2846579#*#*

under background>usb settings> you can select google mode, manufacture mode or Hisuite mode

When attempting to root and one sees the phone doing nothing when entering adb commands maybe changing the usb setting will work to try again?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
From the phone, after enabling the Developer Options menu then enabling Android Debugging for adb to be enabled, if adb and drivers are installed correctly, the phone should respond to doing simple commands like "ls" from an "adb shell" prompt from the PC command line window based on experience from other phones including my other Huawei model.

I've never had to do anything with hidden menus to get responses to supported adb commands.

Will be interesting if below works. :)
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
Using commands and getting disk info pro.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] smithbobbyjoe:
Dude, thanks to the OP for the updated link on the first page here. I tried 5 or 7 other huawei links a few days ago and got no where. This one works, although you have to click on the "downloads" tab to find the "unlock bootloader" button. Also note, the unlock code is in fact 16 digits, on my screen the last digit was on the next line all by its lonesome self and I missed it first time around.

So, I've got the bootloader unlocked, and the SIM unlocked from ATT. I guess we just need a (TWRP) recovery now and SuperSU for root? I just want to flash Xposed and I think I'll be done. Hope we get critical mass here... cheers!
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] shawnchalfant:

Is there a petition for huawei to release the source or do i add it to my list of manufacturers to avoid?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
Huawei pretty good on that front, but since this phone being on att gophone, and not a flagship I expect it to be a little wait on the sources.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] noahdenza:
why not just contact att for the source code then?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Because they probably don't have it and they don't need it. Huawei develops the firmware, so they definitely have all the source code and everything required for this phone.

You can try contacting AT&T and let us know what they say. :)
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] noahdenza:
I contacted them out of desperation lol. lets see what they say.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
Once again that has nothing to do with att. The sources comes from Huawei, att does nothing but want their att crap apps on it
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 903tex:
Okay if we want the sources we need to get on Huawei community forum and make a thread on getting sources for the H1611! And that should get the ball moving once we get that!

"Mvno Master"
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] messi2050:
I need your device build.prop
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] shawnchalfant:
CPU Z is incorrect. It's a custom version for Walmart and At&t. It's listed as Snapdragon 616 Texas-A1. If you look at the stock speeds its closer to the 617 1.5 x 1.2. Tech brief for the 616 is 1.7 x 1.2, and 615 is 1.5 x 1.0. And tech brief between 615 and 616 is exactly the same except for clock speeds and chip numbering.

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 AM ----------

Custome meaning it is the 616, with lower clock speeds and shares some features with the 617. Maybe this is pre 617 chip. JUST SPECULATING base upon info from tech briefs and different tech information researched. This version is lacking NEON also.

The posted build.prop file has a ton of references to MSM8916 which is a Snapdragon 410. Any ideas why?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] shawnchalfant:
You CAN'T enable bands via builp.prop. It's a bit more complicated than that.

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

The 616 shares the same pin configuration as the 410, read the 616 qualcomm advertising about this chip, hence the 410 build.prop reference, the main board can support both chips, making production costs cheaper.

http://m.androidcentral.com/inside-marshmallow-system-ui-tuner
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Centora:
The Ascend XT uses a unique navigation panel/status bar, therefore the standard "gear setting" isn't on the very top near the clock. On the Ascend you only have access to the Quick Setting Shortcuts, so no gear to press and hold to enable it. I also can't find any 3rd party app to just enable it either. So for now, I'm stuck looking at the words, "Airplane Mode".

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dirtysox:
I ordered my Moto Z Play Droid direct from Motorola, and got model number XT1635-01
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] jon7701:
XT1635-01 is the Verizon US variant, XT1635-02 is the US AND international varaints, XT1635-03 is the chinese variant. XT1635-02 can be either dual or single sim, and only differs in the software channels(retus, reteu, retla, etc). I think XT1635-03 is dual sim only, but im not sure. If you want to confirm your device is for the US market, go to settings > About phone and check the software channel which should read retus.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] catpunt:
Seems silly that they would use the same model number for different regions with different band support. Confusing
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] jon7701:
All XT1635-02 variants support the same GSM bands. XT1635-03 supports the chinese WCDMA bands and probably some GSM bands. XT1635-01 supports US CDMA bands and some GSM bands. Arguably motorola probably just disabled the CDMA and WCDMA bands on the XT1635-02 so that people would actually buy the phone from verizon as opposed to buying it from the manufacturer. Which verizon made a deal with them to try and grab more customers by saying "Look at this innovative new phone! Only here at Verizon!" as is clearly obvious by the phone being exclucive for a few months before international release.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] catpunt:
Perhaps, but that doesn't support why the Europe and USA versions of the unlocked XT1635-02 have different band support. Seems like this wouldn't have anything to do with Verizon exclusivity, and if the hardware support is there, why not make all bands available for true world support?
