I don't see what all the fuss is about, not being able to get root. I will agree that the ascend is a bit dodgy when it comes to it, but if you play with it for a few seconds, it roots just fine. Recovery roms are available on the forum if you just want one in case you bork your phone. There's a search function for a reason. If you absolutely cant get anything to work, and you've tried everything, people are more than welcome to message me on AIM, or hit me up on my blog (QR Code in avatar for link) and i'll help ya the best i can.

Anyways,

CheerZ!

I got z4root seemed to work, but i still get the "$" insted of "#", and got setcpu on here and seemed to be locked at 600, can't get it any higher
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] firestetz:
If you are using a terminal emulator you have to type su and hit enter to get # should be the same with adb. As far as overclocking your kernel needs to be modified to allow you to.

Not sure wish I knew how. If we can get some people to talk beg and plead with some of the developers here I'm sure we could get more options for this device. I wish I knew how or had the time to figure it out.

rooting the ascend is super easy... just search for z4root under the market.... let it do its thing... it takes like.. 10 seconds to root. so far no luck on any dope roms yet.... so if someones got one of them... that would nice

Hey m8 you can find the recovery rom and instructions on the downloads page of suckmydroid.com

z4root

i rooted mine with the z4root super eas.. loaded rom manager but it doesnt have an option for ascend for clockworkmod recovery so i have yet to put in a custom rom.

i use barnicle for wifi tether and 2 other apps that were usefull which were start up auditor whic edits what starts up with your phone and SYstem app remover. no more midnioght bowling or uno!!! :D

The main reason for my root was to increase volume in the headset for my mp3's. and i havnt found anything that works as of yet.. plus i have the image of the back up but dont know what to do with it or if it works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 210cnj:
how can you start adding custom themes.. i have mine rooted but before i do anything i want to back up my ascend and clockwork mod does not have the option for the ascend yet? igot this from rar file. Force Download ( Recommendation : When the OS of handsets could not start up successfully)

1:Copy dload to SD card

2:Switch off the handset ,then press "Volume Control Upper Key +End Key+ Power Key"

3:Showing successful

4:Remove battery one second ,then power on ,waiting till the os start up

Normal Download

1:Copy dload to SD card

2:Settings--SD card & Phone storage--Software Upgrade

so do i put dload on mem card and i will be able to start putting custom roms ion and if someething goes bad i can do this to recovery my begining rom?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xlarkascendingx:
No, dload is the flash file from the OEM ROM that is on the phone when you first purchase it...

Does anyone know whats going on, I would love to start modding this phone but am having a hard time....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cdysthe:
Thanks. I finally got it rooted with z4root. Turned out I had to install BusyBox before I ran z4root. The phone is rooted fine. One thing I wonder if there's a way to overclock. SetCPU only offers the original speed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] madaaron:
don't buy droid overclock, it doesn't even load after installation. Maybe it will work in the future but for now it isn't

Not Working

Its been on Running rageagainstthecage...

for about 15 minutes. I removed the SD card and enabled USB debugging. Is it suppose to take this long???:eek:

m860 looping even after un bug and recheck unbug

ive done every step possible that i can consider doing but for some reason even after i uncheck and recheck debug it still keeps looping. what shale i do from here any advise?

--->used this step-->10/17/2010:

Thanks to all that donated! I was worried for a bit but you guys proved me wrong. So, I fixed the NMA (non market apps) button. It should now install sqlite3 and busybox into a temporary folder if you don't have it. I added an unroot (by popular demand). I did some major code clean up, so you can expect faster releases from here on out. Next version will add sqlite3 and busybox to the /system partition included in root.

If you're having issues with "wait for device" or if RATC is looping, try this

Unplug your USB Cable

Go to Settings > Applications > Development

Uncheck USB Debugging

Plug in your USB Cable

Unplug your USB Cable

Check USB Debugging

Plug in your USB Cable

then right after did this-->11/10/2010:

I finally figured out how to root without looping. After rooting 13 phones, this is how I did it on the first try.

Turn USB Debugging OFF

Click Root

When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON

It'll now run RATC

When it says: Starting ADB Server...

Turn USB Debugging OFF

Turn USB Debugging ON

Turn USB Debugging OFF

All BEFORE it says "Waiting for device..." again

praise CLShortFuse and everyone with donations and developement.

We may be getting Froyo soon, I put in a request with a developer name jdkoreclipse here http://jdfroyo.com/request/#comments and he says he is working on it... We all have a new Hero... :D

Have you tried z4root from the market?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z_newb:
knowledge request about busybox and applanet

oh so cince this pertain's to my ascend i would like some input on how to use the busy box because when i try to install it after the root it just search's and sadly i cant get it to unroot now so any input again?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z_newb:
i have but i for some reason cant use applanet or busybox even after the root so either one i try im haveing small set backs lol and the bigest one is when i try to root it freez's the superoneclick when it says waiting for device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, your English isn't very clear...

Busybox isn't something that you use directly, it's a group of tools or Linux commands, some programs require that those tools are available to run certain commands, to directly use the tools or commands that busybox installs you'd need to install a terminal app.

I'm not sure if you're rooted yet or not, you seem to be saying you've installed the root, yet again your saying the superoneclick is locking up, and yet again you are saying you're trying to "unroot"?????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mustang915:
Thank you joenathane!!! For requesting a custom rom for the ascend FINALLY we may have one :) also thanks for jdkoreclipse in advance :)

Why does everybody keep using SuperOneClick its hard to rooted that way just use Z4root from the app market its only one touch and its rooted LITERALLY lol. As for the apps try getting Titanium Backup and good to have that app around.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ben's:
So, seeing how this is the only real Ascend thread, let's try to shoot of some emails to the Admins to make a Huawei Ascend forum for one.

Two, z4 root works great with this phone. Nothing towards Superoneclick but lets face it, it's way to complicated for the average user and even then, it's hard to get working. z4 root is a total win in this case, I have managed to delete half the junk the phone came with and have noticed a slight performance boost although it's not much to brag about with a 600Mhz processor. A custom kernel is almost a must! I can not play non market games, it's slow if you try to multitask and is all around slow coming from an expert Droid user.

Lastly, the Swipe keyboard. Who ever would want to use that! What a slow nightmare it is to try to type with Swipe, I deleted it. The stock keyboard is not much better. Buy " Better Keyboard ", it's not nearly as laggy and it can actually keep up with fast texting.

BUT, there is a bright side to all the cons ( almost all the cons ;) )

Rooting, deleting junk and downloading Better Keyboard makes this phone an awesome entry level phone that can hold it's own with the mid range phones. It's no Evo by any means, but, it's a step closer to becoming an affordable real " smart phone ".

The ability to overclock would make it 100% indeed a smart phone and more then capable of holding it's own vs. $300+ phones. It's a project phone, you get what you pay for but, if you have a little time and patience, you too can own a get Android device with no contract, low monthly payments and hours of entertainment from the Android platform. I, am sold on this phone. I have owned other Android type phones and I can honestly say, this phone can be some competition.

Sure it has a poor quality LCD screen and can be buggy out of the box, but like I said, a little patience and determination is what makes this phone enjoyable. And, after all, it's not like it needs constant maintenance. Just a few steps to take out of the box and your set. For $150, I can't complain now that my phone is working like an Android phone should work.

I've had this phone for about a month and now that I am comfortable and knowledgeable enough to help others out, feel free to ask, email or post any comments or questions you may have and I will try my best to help out.

Awesome, a WiFi tether for the Ascend! I will have to try it out today and post my result. I have tried to download a few tethers, but like the thread said, they do not work with our phones.

Anyone else have luck with the link from the Huawei link?

What would it take to get a custom kernel for the Ascend? Anyone willing to take on the task? I would even pay at this point, the speed is just not cutting it for me and that's all it needs to be a really awesome phone!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
I use barnacle wifi tether, works great with the ascend as long as your phone is rooted!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ben's:
I used z4 to root my phone, what did you use? I have no been able to use any tether on the market let alone Barnacle.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
Used superoneclick, I don't think that should make a difference.... As long as the superuser is installed, you may also need to install busybox. Open your superuser and make sure you haven't blacklisted barnacle, once you open barnacle for the first time it should ask for su permissions, make sure you hit yes....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hatchetwarrior92882:
What did you uninstall?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drewdude007:
You can use Z4root then use Android wifi tether for this phone. Android wifi tether is not in the market so you will need to download the apk file from their web site and install it on the phone.

Come on everyone, we need to find a developer!!! I'm in dying need to get a custom recovery console one this phone too. Froyo FTW!!

well first its not overclocked i just used over clock widget to make sure it is always runnin at the max 600 Mhz constantly. all you need is to root the phone and install overclock widget. (must also have superuser installed) once rooted you can use wifi tether aswell. overclockin will require a custom kernal from what i have been told.

the titanium back up removed the system apps no problem. thank you so much. ready for 2.2.

rooted M860 selfinflicted1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ben's:
Sorry for the late replies to the two people who asked what all I had removed.

Now, this is what I removed, in no way do I recommend that you remove apps or OS installed apps you are not comfortable with.

I removed the Google talk UPDATE, not the app, but the update, this, somehow removed Gtalk all together but did not mess up my phone in any way. I also removed the norm, uno, midnight bowling and some other cheapy apps that came with the phone. I also removed Swipe, calendar and the notepad. I'm sure there are a couple others but these are the main one that ran in the background on my phone and brought down the memory.

As you might have noticed with Advance Task Killer, depending on how many apps you have constantly running, your memory is low.

Now, with only two apps running, Weather and Toggle Widget and Better Keyboard, my memory stays above 60m, sometimes 70-80m and my phone runs a heck of a lot smoother.

Download and install Advance Task Killer and see what your Available Memory : xxm is at. Chances are, it's below 30, less if you have apps running. This will slow down your phone as these phones only come with 194mb of internal memory.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ben's:
I used Titanium Backup. It's the best free file manager and remover you can get. You are also going to need to download Superuser to grant permission to apps. In order to do so, you need to have a rooted phone, you can download z4 and go from there. I used the Permanent root feature. If you are not familiar with the procedure, I would Google what a rooted phone is and what all is needed.

Essentially, its accessing files hidden by the service provided which you can delete or modify.

I went to town after I rooted my phone and deleted lots of un-necessary features and apps that blogged down the phone. Good luck!

I made a kind of Official Ascend forum

here

I'm pretty sure Huawei is working on the 2.2, the Ascend was just release for Metro PCS, so this will be a pretty big phone for them... As far as the developer that promised to work on 2.2 for us, it would seem that he is more or less M.I.A. for the moment, he says his computer is getting repaired but it seems to be taking awhile...
