[Guide] Huawei Ascend Y300 Unlock & Root

Huawei Ascend Y300 Unlock & Root [How To / Tutorial]
This great little Android 4.1 smartphone has been released to the German market a week ago. At a price tag of merely 150,00 Euro, it's a steal.
But no fun without root, right ?
Now, Huawei locks and secures the bootloader, which makes flashing a custom recovery impossible without messing with the bootloader code itself.
Luckily, i found out that you can request a bootloader unlock-token on the Chinese Huawei website. After unlocking with
Code:
fastboot oem unlock XXX16-digits-codeXXX
we can flash a china-made (aka chinese-language only) ClockworkMod v6.1, that has been compiled for the Y300. After installing SuperSU from CMW, you GOT ROOT.
I have written an extensive dummy-style tutorial on my tumblr blog. Unfortunately, the forum wont let me post outside links. Please go to this URL:
huawei-y300.tumblr.com
Have fun!

For you it would be around 190$ in comparison to 150€. 1€ equals 1,31$ at the moment.
The signal is way better than my SGS+ I used before I got my Y300. And I can recommend it to everyone who is not searching for something too expensive. It runs at an average speed and the OS is nearly up-to-date with 4.1.1. The only thing which is disturbing for me is the EmotionUI 1.0 which Huawei uses. But besides that it's perfect for that price! :victory:

can anyone provide the stock rom of this device

Same goes here, this great handy appeared about a week ago in The Netherlands for only € 119,- it is truly a steal
And yeah, it's really need the rooting because of the whole bunch of bloatware which comes preinstalled and without
the root half of them are not possible to remove. So thank you very much for the solution! My code is on the way, at least i hope so
I hope it's going to have a section here on xda-developers, because there is a lot possibilites in this phone!

Yesterday my Galaxy note broke won't charge anymore.
So i bought this as a replacement till i find something better.
Works good, only gps is acting strange sometimes more then 100meters to the right or left.
but maybe an update wil fix it. was only happening this morning, this afternoon it worked great

There's plenty of gps fix or speedup topic here on xda
After rooting it's possible one of them is going to work

Today it was working just fine
Waiting for my unlock code, they send the email to another department.

There is a new rom posted in the huawei website:

There's no description about it, maybe just some small fixes.
If you try it, please share your opinion about it!

my version is: V100R001NLDC150B171
still waiting for mail, hope you didn't receive mine haha
BTW, my settings menu has changed, I now have to click more settings to get to the normal settings, but it never said it was updated.

Bought the phone 3 days ago. So far absolutely flawless performance unbelievable for that price....
Just the problem with the stock software that`s taking 3 out of the 4 GB internal storage... so should we expect more ROMs to come soon?

Can somebody please post some details for this new build? What has changed etc.. I was searching everywhere and could not find anything .. Thanks guys..

Can anyone ..pls post the screenies of the phone..means the phone image in hand...I am planning to buy this one..

Ever tried google? There is exactly what you are asking for
Got a reply from Huawei, but they totaly changed the imei and they couldn't give me an unlock code, does their translation system change the imei number? damn, now i have to mail them again and hope they reply the correct number now.
And since I'm not the first here I'm getting a bad feeling

Did you try looking on Ebay or somewhere similar? I saw at least a few when I was looking for an extended battery for my little fella.

Well, I searched a bit just now, found at least 5 back covers, which seem to be generic (not made specifically for any carrier). You can try reaching out to the seller and asking about it, you know. A good seller will always contact you sooner or later. Oh, I always use the british Ebay, you can try that if you want to, but it might take some time to ship, depending on where you live.

I really don't know which battery is better... just need an answer

Hello people, Ok i know there is millions threads about battery and stuff but i haven't find any good answers...
Can you please tell me which one is better ??
1- Made in Korea , Finished in China
2- Made in China , Finished in China
3- Made in Japan , Finished in China
Recently i bought the first but it seems its not good for my S2. cuz of draining and i cant close the back door, sounds like its not fitting cuz of battery, I don't know what you guys call it in English but its like the battery is not working normal anymore. ( i bought it about 5 months ago for about 8$ ... ???!! )
Thanks in advance ( for some reasons i cant use the extended batteries )

It is hard for us to know what type of batteries they are. What capacity? Official branding? Does it fit? Any photos?
Where it is made doesn't really matter as these batteries are officially made in China.
If you want the official one, made and finished in China, everything else is not official - but that is not your question.
So try add some more information.
Hope this helps :good:
P.S With the info you gave us, 2 is "better".

How to check that S7 active is fixed waterproof problem?

The first batch of S7 active have the waterproof problem. Samsung told that they fixed it in the second batch and replace first batch for free . So when we buy phone from ebay. How can we check that phone is fixed ? The date it was made or imei ?
Thank you you guys. Sorry for my English.

Very good question.

any news on this ??
as im looking to get one in the UK too !

I read some articles saying that it's not specific to any batch. The best strategy is to bring the phone underwater and see if it holds. Good news is that this phone is pretty new so even if you buy from Ebay, it sure is under warranty, as long as the phone is not on any blacklist. Samsung is getting quite good in customer service, at least in my experience. I bought an S7 active from Ebay which has serious scratches and re-booting issue. I called Samsung, sent the phone to them and around a week later, they send back with new main board, new screen and essentially everything new. No more scratches!

thats some great news cppc
are you in the UK too ? if so, which eBayer did you use ? and which samsung contact did you use ?
and lastly, did samsung question how you got the phone etc ?? ..

No I'm in the US. I just called the Samsung support contact on their website. They didn't ask me for proof of purchase, just the IMEI. They did, however, ask me to stop by Bestbuy first as they have a specialized technician there to see if that guy can help fix the issue. Since that guy couldn't help, they sent me the shipping label to send the device to them. In the end I didn't have to pay anything

need help choosing please

I currently have the mate 20 pro and it has the green screen issue. So... Sadly I'm sending it back, I was going to swap it for another though amazon advised me not to. They also refunded the accessories I purchased which supprised me. I now don't know whether to try to import a mate 20 X or settle for the 6t. I would be grateful if anyone with the 20x could help me decide and answer a few questions?
I haven't seen any threads about it. But has anyone had any issues with the screen?
I've read some people have had problems with the Chinese version, when looking at adverts how do I make sure the phone I'm buying is the international version? Most don't say they just give the model number.
Is there an 8gb/256 version of the international model? Does enyone have an ebay link for where I could get it sent to the UK?
Does anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't consider getting this phone?
Thanks for your help.

I don't have the phone (at least yet) but i'm following closely all threads because i'm very interested too and i never see anyone complaining about the gluegate, even a reviewer frankytech thinks its only targeting pro series because of the curved screen.
If you want to buy international version you need to check if the model is named EVR-L29, china model is AL00. There's no international model atm in 256/8GB variant. About sellers to the international, there's splendor, wonda, funkyhuawei, expansys and ebay. Probably more but i forgot.

Would you recommend the Chinese model?
Is it easy to add the play store? Are there any issues with Google services? e.g. Google pay? As I use that a lot.
I bought an xaomi tablet and that took a lot of effort to get Google app store and services working properly.
Also I was wondering does face unlock work OK on this phone? I know it doesn't have the 3d scanner.

i orderd the chinese model - i hope it turns out to be good

I came from a OnePlus 6. Definitely get the 20 X if you like large screen phones. The X uses a Samsung AMOLED panel and is free of defects. I would buy the Global version if root isn't important to you. If it is then buy the Chinese version. I bought the Global version and have no issues with it. The 6gb/128 Global version is plenty fast. You won't see any difference between the 6gb and 8gb versions as far as speed or apps in memory goes, it's all pretty much a gimmick unless you're buying the 256gb/8gb version just for the storage size.

The storage was the main reason I ended up going for the Chinese version.
I'm worried about Google pay not working on Chinese phones but I'm hoping the rest will end up working OK.
Hopefully someone will work out how to rebrand it so I can have the best of both worlds.

Please let me know how it works out, the 20X is my next phone just trying to decide which one I want. The China version is like $200 cheaper than the International one or the same price for the 8 gig versus the 6gig international version.

I have the China 8/256 version. And although I was worried about getting it once I changed the language, keyboard, got Google play to work it's a great phone.. my wife is laughing at me saying it's too big but personally I love it. It's fast and smooth and the screen is amazing.

I've not tried Google pay yet. I was able to add my credit card but not my bank card strangely. I will try Google pay tomorrow and let you know.
