Unlock Bootloader & Root
Please note that this tutorial was designed for Windows.
- Introduction
This works on all models of the Huawei Ascend G600, I tested on my U8950N-51.
Please keep in mind that I am not responsible for any possible damages to your phone.
The methods in this article may void your warranty, break your phone, and set your house on fire, so please read carefully and ensure you know what you are doing. - Unlocking the bootloader
Your device restores to its' factory settings, and erases data. So back up!
Setting Up- Request your unlocking code here from the Huawei Website.
- Ensure the ADB drivers are set up, here is the official Huawei application for phone drivers.
- Download the adb_tools-2.0 from here, and place them somewhere. For this article, we will go with the simple option and say it is placed on 'C:\'.
- Switch the device to fastboot mode. First switch of the fast booting feature (in the settings menu), then power off the device. Next, hold the power and volume down keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. The Huawei logo should appear and stay on the screen. If so, your device is now in 'Fastboot' mode.
- Connect the device to the computer with a with a USB cable.
- Open the command prompt, and enter the directory where the 'adb_tools-2.0' are located. As I said before, for this example I placed them in 'C:\', so I would type 'cd C:\adb_tools-2.0' (cd means 'change directory), then hit enter.
- Now for the unlocking. In the computer’s command window, enter:
fastboot oem UNLOCK PASSWORD, (for example, 'fastboot oem unlock 1234567812345678').
If your unlocking is successful you should see something like:
'C:\adb_tools-2.0>fastboot oem unlock 1234567812345678
(bootloader) Unlocking ...
OKAY [ 0.039s]
finished. total time: 0.040s' - Your device should restart.
- Now we will check to see if the unlocking has succeeded.
Enter 'fastboot oem get-bootinfo'. The bootloader lock state of your device is displayed.
Bootloader Lock State: LOCKED indicates that the bootloader is still locked.
Bootloader Lock State: UNLOCKED indicates that your device’s bootloader has been unlocked, and you can now proceed to develop your device. :highfive:
- Rooting the phone
In order to root the phone, you will need the 'Root' zip file and a custom recovery to install it.
Firstly, download both these files below: Now that we have the files downloaded, we can begin the rooting process
- Extract 'U8950D_Mssff_touch_recovery.7z'
- Turn off your phone
- Hold the Power and Volume Down keys for at least 10 seconds to enter fastboot mode.
- Connect your phone to the computer with a USB cable.
- From the extracted 'U8950D_Mssff_touch_recovery.7z' archive, run the 'flash_RECOVERY.bat' script (just double click on it). A terminal should open and show the fastboot commands flashing the recovery to your phone.
- Your phone should restart. Once it does, place the 'Root.zip' file onto your phone's SD Card.
- Turn off your phone.
- Hold the Power and Volume UP keys for at least 10 seconds. Your phone will enter recovery mode.
- Navigate through the menu using the volume (up and down) and power (select) keys, or simply by touching the buttons.
- Choose "install zip from sdcard", then select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Select "root.zip", and comfirm "Yes" to install
- Once completed, select "reboot system now"
And that's it! Your phone will restart and you will now see the "SuperUser" app in your menu.
Your phone is now unlocked and rooted, and you can start developing! :good::laugh::victory::angel:

ROOT for AT&T Impulse 4G (Huawei u8800-51)
NOTE: I take no credit for SuperOneClick, or the actual guide. I simply found it, simplified it, and reposed here. Thanks goes to CLShortFuse for SuperOneClick, and all the members at XDA-Developers, specifically in the Huawei Ideos x5 forum.
Also, I am not responsible for any bricked devices, loss of data, zombie infections, Rage fits, or thermonuclear warfare caused by this guide. Oh, and also, if you succeed, your warranty is now void. PLEASE follow the instructions to a T.
This guide is for Windows PCs. I don't have any guide for Linux or Mac, sorry.
This guide will teach you how to root and install ClockWorkMod Recovery your AT&T Impulse 4G, also known as the Huawei Impulse 4G.
PRE-ROOT REQUIREMENTS:
Put the device in ADB mode (Settings\Applications\Development\check USB Debugging)
STEP 1
Plug device into computer and let the drivers install.
CHECK to make sure the ADB driver installed (Right click "Computer" and click Manage, and click Device Manager) If 'Ideos' is in 'Other Devices', you will need to start at Step 2. If 'Android Composite ADB Interface' shows up in 'Android Phone', you are good to go to Step 3)
STEP 2 (Ideos in Other Devices)
When the device was plugged in, 'CD Drive (E:\) Mobile Partner' should have popped up for AutoPlay. If it did not, check 'Computer' to see if it has. If it hasn't, unplug the device and plug it back in. Once it shows up, go back into Device Manager from Step 1 and right click 'Ideos' in 'Other Devices' and select 'Update Driver'. Click on Install Driver Manually instead of Searh Online and browse to E:\drivers. This will install the ADB drivers needed to root.
STEP 3 (ADB Drivers Installed, now to root)
Now that your device has ADB drivers installed and working, download SuperOneClick v2.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...0&d=1312258565
Extract all the files into a folder, and run SuperOneClick with Admin permissions (right click SuperOneClick, select Run as Administrator)
After SuperOneClick opens, simply click the 'Root' button on the top.
NOTE: It may freeze up a few times, as if it stopped responding. That is normal.
As it goes through its process, it will eventually stop and tell you 'busybox is not installed. Install?' Hit yes, and yes to all the other prompts. At the end, it will tell you that your device is now rooted. TA-DAAAAA. Reboot your device and the root is complete.
STEP 4 (CWM Time)
Download CWM here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1317928514
Turn the device off, and press and hold Volume Up, Down and Power buttons simultaneously. The AT&T logo will pop up, and then a pink-purple screen will pop up over it. Plug the device into your computer and let the drivers install. A popup may tell you some drivers didn't install, that's ok. A single, unnamed Removable Storage device will come up; open it. Take the 'recovery.img' file in there and rename it to 'recovery-backup.img', then copy the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-u8800.img' to the storage device. Rename it to 'recovery.img'.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to 'Safely Remove Device' before unplugging!
After unplugging, remove the battery and reinsert it, and hold Volume Up and Power buttons to boot into CWM.
There you have it, Root and CWM. I've begun ****** around with ROMs, I will try to port CM7.1 to this device, along with a customized, clean version of the stock ROM. Enjoy! - !!!Working root method for Huawei Ascent G312 U8681!!!
How to root the phone:
Run Poot. When it first runs it will say it has to install a program it gets from the market called Ministro. Just download and install it. Then re-run Poot.
It will then say it needs to download binaries, let it download and install them
When it finally gets to the main Poot screen, press the button at the top that says: Press here to poot.
It may give you an error in the log, it did to me but still worked. Now REBOOT your phone.
Once booted, install Superuser or SuperSU, whichever you want.
You should now be rooted. Download Root Validator and test.
This root method does not install Busybox, so you'll have to install it yourself. Just use Busybox Installer or something.
But there you go! Finally a working root method for this phone!
The program will probably give you some kind of error. Aparently this is normal, I got error 64, Jack got error 22. But it still worked. Just download Root Validator to test it.
