Keep in mind, this method is not confirmed working if you're running android 2.3.x [ Gingerbread ]. So do not use this if you're running it. Also dual sim ones aren't supported from what I see it tempers with the phone, I haven't tested it but many have reported it doesn't work on dual sims.
Lets get started shall we? Firstly I have gathered up some useful resources that will help you get started. Make sure you read this guide first, from top to bottom. Then continue. As you must have a clear understanding on what you are going to attempt. If you have any queries don't hesitate to ask on the thread itself.

I have performed these exact steps and have successfully unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone. So if you're worried. Don't be. After attempting this I haven't noticed any issues either.
Okay, first of all you will need to download Unlockbootloader ---> View attachment unlockbootloader.zip
Once you have downloaded the said .zip extract the .exe file inside the .zip to your desktop.
Continue by turning on USB debugging on your G300. if its already switched on then skip the part below..
Go into Settings>Developer Options and tick the USB Debugging option.
Once its switched on, plug your phone to the computer using a USB cable.
So far you've downloaded Unlockbootloader, have switched USB debugging on, and your phone is connected to your PC.
Now run the .exe file you have just extracted. Click "Root" and let it do everything, it will prompt up with a few warnings saying don't use your keyboard because CMD is running.
Once the setup finishes, your phone should be rooted.
Head into the app drawer, and if you see "SuperUser" you're now officially rooted.
Reboot your phone to finalize the rooting and exploits.
Ok, now for the bootloader.
Once your phone is on, and connected again to the PC with debugging mode on, run the .exe file again and this time click "Unlock BootLoader".
Wait for it to do its job, once done reboot again and you now have a Stock Rooted and Bootloader unlocked ICS phone.

Hi, assuming you have installed the g300 adb drivers, once the device is hanging on the boot logo and you connect the usb cable. You need to wait for windows to fully the load the adb driver before you use the unlockbootloader.exe program.

What you have to do is,turn on debug, then power off device fully by pulling off battery then putting it back in, now you must power on by golding the volume down button and power button at the same time, this should get it to be stuck on the huawei logo screen, now plug in your USB cable and wait for you PC to detect the phone and it should automatically install the devices driver's, one its done the now open the folder and run .BAT files, If you are experiencing problems here's a link for another guide : View

Hi,
After the "Unlock BootLoader", my phone doesn't boot. When the logo appears it stars to reboot again and never goes beyond that.
Any ideas ? Have I killed it ?

Turn ur phone completely off. By pulling out battery then apply the battery again.
Now hold volume down and power button and it should be in boot loader mode. If ur logo is stuck well this is in boot loader if not and it continues well.. idk

Hello krishneelg3,
I have tried a method on http://huaweig300.com but I'm stuck with the problem.
Installing USB drivers/Root/Backup IMEI went OK. Then by mistake I skipped the Step on page 5. Check Baseband and kept continued by Bootloader & ClockworkMod all went OK until the step 10. On page 6. After executing BootloaderG300.exe the phone rebooting cyclically, My operator screen appear for a approximately one second and the phone restarts again. How to resolve the problem and is there any hope to return to official ROM?
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.

What was ur baseband and were u running gingerbread?
If u r on official ics then this guide is for u, if not notify me.
PS : If you are running Gb I refer you to look into this guide, as long as your phone can boot into bootloader your fine, and I'm sure it will boot into Bloader mode : http://www.modaco.com/topic/353386-how-to-root-your-huawei-ascend-g300-for-windows-mac-and-linux/

Thanks krishneelg3,
my baseband is 109808, and I'm running GB.
The problem is that I don't know if I'm in a Bootloader mode when I see a pink screen?
When I press VOLUME DOWN + POWER it starts same as when I press POWER, first logoo (in my case picture of my operator) it lasts for about few seconds, then phone reboots and start doing it cyclically.
The other thing is that, when I press VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP + POWER, it then turns into a pink screen.
In that state (pink screen), when I plug in my phone to my PC, PC recognize my phone without reading sd card or internall memory.
So what should I do?
Thanks man, really appreciate it!

Guys,
I solved the problem.
I've just followed the instructions in step 5. on the site http://huaweig300.com and put a new update.app (1 KB) and copy it to the dload. After that I've used main dload (ICS folder, aprox abot 600 MB) and everything updated and installed successfully.
Thanks.
p.s. if anyone has or had the same problem, do not hesitate to ask.

hi all
sorry to hijack the thread
I have just got my son an ascend 300 which is locked to vodafone
its on android 2.3.6
the build number is
u881v100r001c02b892
i have a download of HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 which is the ICS but i dont think that will work for my build
ideally i want ICS but dont mind too much waiting.
but i do want to be able to get of all the bloatware.
I guess i need to root to do this.
the link to the modaco site is down and it seems this is for those lucky enough to be on ICS
would i be better off upgrading to ICS then following the method above or would i be better finding a method to root under gb (If so where)
many thanks

OK get the official pics update b927* must be that build.
After its done downloading, extract its contents to your memorycard of the phone.
Make sure the update.app is in the root of SD card .
Then power off phone, remove battery re apply battery and hold the three buttons "volume up, volume down and the power button" until a screen pops up it will then install the stock ics once its done it'll reboot twice.
If only one it doesnt matter.
Setup the phone. Now to install b934 or newer versions use cwm for dazzozos repacks or the update force method. But I advice u to look for help on modaco. Thanks.
Modaco name : krishang3

krishneelg3
Thanks for that by b927* you are referring to a different version of HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 ?
where would i be able to get this from?
so this would give me the stock ics
what is the advantage of then installing HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 ?
Thanks

Your on gingerbread so your baseband Is 109808 and if u flash any b934+ stock using the combinations say goodbye to your phone. I did that to my brothers and it bricked.
So to get to ice you must install b927 version of ics then your baseband will change to the new one *2030* now you can flash any b934+ stocks because you now have the new baseband.
Go to modaco and enter the G300 forums and look at the first dew pages all the info and guides you need. Procedure is simple.

Help needed: Blank screen. Can't get into recovery or start phone X9077

Hello.
I have an X9077 and was trying to flash the latest stable ROM coming back from Beta2.
I tried a few times with no luck and then I read that someone had had more luch by flashing 1.2 first and then the latest ROM.
I tried with that ROM and it caused a split screen image and when I tried again it just caused a blank screen. So no OPPO logo or noting but the backlight is on and the soft keys glow a bit.
If I try to enter recovery I have the same thing happening.
The computer sees the phone and the sd card and I can access it in fastbook mode but don't get any visuals in the screen to reload the beta2 Rom.
Please help. All I wanted was to get the GAPPS and to be able to make and receive calls without chinese characters popping out everywhere.
I downloaded the stock recovery from:
oppoforums . com / threads / stock-recovery-for-find-7-7a.17397 /
and then did a
fastboot erase cache
Which worked fine and then I did a
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Which worked but still can't access the recovery part. I get a blank black screen with glowing buttons underneath.
Everything went south before when I installed X9006_12_OTA_INT_001_all_svn5596_wipe.zip which I now know was not for my phone.

Well I have installed the stock recovery but my phone still does all the things that Suyi's did.
I have written to Suyi and Coldbird to see if they can guide me on how to manually restore the partitions.
Thank you very much.

Coldbird and Suyi are legends!!! I have rescued my phone back from the darkness thanks to your amazing work.
The only thing is that there is an unnecessary line there which is 521. The syntax in it is wrong but it doesn't harm the procedure, but it can be a bit unnerving.
I did not use the ROM that they used but the latest stable 1.2.1
Instructions are here:

Well done. Oppo should at least have set the numbers of the models further apart e.g. 9008 for find 7 & 9007 for 7a. It seems 7 is feng shui for them. Launch date for find 7 in Malaysia is 7.7.14. 7+7=14.
Oppo. Symmetry. Should be opqo.

My phone's model number is X9076. I am facing this same issue. The only difference is that my phone is not even rooted. Whenever I try installing TWRP on my phone the screen goes black. When I try pressing the hardware buttons, it gives a haptic feedback but doesn't show anything on the screen. Because of that I am not able to root my device and also can't install any custom ROMs. Also my phone is in stock condition and I haven't done anything to it before. How can I fix this (please don't provide me with any links, please explain me the procedure so it becomes easy for me )

If you follow the instructions for method 2, and repeatedly do it a few times, you can succeed. The important thing is to follow the instructions strictly, however silly they may look like.

I did several times, double checking all steps, still boot loop. After apply the method 2 , is doing a boot loop. Than I tried to apply again method 2 I have the successful download with green ...than I go in recovery and flash over adb sideload oos 3.2.8 ...than I start , no more boot loop, but after Oneplus logo goes into black screen with a withe stable notification led turned on ....I left over night ... But it keep staying like that until I force to power off by pressing and holding power button( after I want to turn off i cannot only going into bootloader and from there I choose power of, because is automatically turning on if I press and hold only the power button in order to turn off the device).

The bootloader and baseband versions were missing when i bought the phone new and are still blank today after flashing a few ROMs and Recoveries/Firmware and modems. So that is not an issue.
Are you downloading the correct files?

RMA'd it to a service center for repair, after two tech support calls. They actually told me that they couldn't repair it due to "water damage." Funny thing is, that phone was never dropped in or on anything, let alone in WATER. Then to add insult to injury they refused to send it back to me stating that I had to pay for return shipping. My wife got on the phone with them and by the end of the phone call they said that they would send it back for free. HAHA. So I bought a Oneplus 3 after that whole ordeal. All the while the Oneplus X sat in the box on my desk for about 5 months. Last week I decided to pick it up and tinker with it some more. I scoured the net trying to find any other programs or solutions that I hadn't tried prior to sending it off. I came across somethings that I hadn't seen before. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/help/fastboot-mode-available-stuck-kindly-t3387918. http://rootmygalaxy.net/oneplus-x-s...w.pickmod.com/rom/4187/coloros-for-oneplus-x/. Ended up flashing Color OS via msm tool. Wouldn't load OS, but i didn't end up with a black screen and white LED, it just sat there. So right after I flashed Color OS, i Flashed the mini unbrick tool by Naman, and BOOM it booted into OS. Hope this helps.

I want to root my ZE551ML but I don't know what to do pls help.

I tried to root my phone last night, but I stop midway of the process because of some problems like "phone not turning on with no vibrate at all when I restart after its stuck to inverted white screen, when I luckily turn it back on but it bootloops".
Heres the details:
I run unlock.bat then after its done it reboots with inverted white screen with logo then I run restore.bat and after it restart there is no sign of warning "failed verification" until it fully loads up, I go back to fastboot again to flash TWRP after running twrp.bat it says "flash succesfully" and the program closed by itself, then I go to recovery mode after rebooting I saw android error just like how it use to be. I press power button + volume up then release the volume up then I see the stock recovery (which it should be TWRP since I've done flashing it).
I think that my bootloader is still locked since there's no warning display of "failed verification". So I repeat the steps again after running unlock.bat, it reboots and the screen is inverted but it's stuck up to white logo, I waited for a while but nothing happens so I tried to reboot my phone "holding power button (power off)" when power on, it wont turn on, no vibration just a sound on laptop "connected sound and disconnected sound" I tried to power it on many times but still no luck I got panicked, jittery walking back and forth :crying:. Then I disconnect the usb cable and I tried to turn it on and suddenly I feel the vibration on my phone then it boots up but still stuck in white screen then it restart after keeping it for too long (while watching videos related to my problem)...
then my friend here said "ohh it bootloop" he read the instruction and he said to try this
"FAQ 1. Stuck at white screen with asus logo?
Sol. a) White screen means you are unlocked (action of unlock.bat), so you may give a try to restore.bat in fastboot mode."
and it solve my problem my phone is working again ... But I want to continue to root it but I'm afraid which steps I should go next, I still don't see the warning "failed verification" after my phone boots up and works again... I need HELP thank you
I also got question: is my bootloader unlock since it inverted white screen? or it still locked since there no sign of warning "failed verification"?

ahmm I think this?
model number: ASUS_Z00AD
android version: 6.0.1
software information: WW_4.21.40.223_20161216
P.S my phone is back on working state.
I just don't know if I can proceed to root after the incident. I don't know, I just want to make sure that my bootloader is still unlocked after what I've done (it did white screen with black asus logo) or.... it doesn't unlocked at all since I don't see this warning "your device has failed verification and may not work properly." (I've attach screenshot from the video tutorial)
I tried to manualy check if my bootloader is really on unlock state but I can't using these methods
method 1: on device’s dialer dial *#*#7378423#*#* (failed)
method 2: fastboot oem device-info (failed)
my recovery it still on stock recovery even after I flash twrp
btw guide source: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-install-xposed-marshmallow-6-0-1-t3456443
Q: should I still continue to flash twrp until it install?

Theres 2 bootloader unlock tools in general section , one is automatic

Read this from start to finish before doing anything.. also have on another device to refer to as you are doing the steps also download the ROM and gapps you want and put on SD card before you start even if you have to download them and move them from PC to SD card. https://plus.google.com/113955136844726294013/posts/aLJdNZN3g8q

I've haven't fully read the instruction maybe tomorrow I will read it.
I just downloaded the files early and look into it... it seems like the versions are kinda latest (I don't know much about the droidboot ver. but I just look at the number on it "the higher the latest /heh") also the twrp is 3.0.3.
the ones that I used are all in package and it was 3.0.2 so I kinda go for the link you gave me
Thanks :good:

Xperia z1 compact bootloop.

Hi Guys.
I replaced a screen of a D5503. Knew the pattern to unlock the phone (friends) but messed up and thought it does not matter if it resets to factory settings after 7 attempts.. But Bootloop. Country choice appears shortly and screen goes to grey. Repair with companion gives no change. Sometimes it is possible to select country and go one screen further and then it goes grey again. Is this bootloop ?
searched web and forum for similar problems and decided finally it must be bootloop?
Of course i did not make a back up.. phone is coupled to google account of friend , so if I can get the screen to normalize and not disappear that would also be an option.
i downloaded Flashtool Emma. Most links are dead. For neccesary files, unlocking etc.
I have a sony unlock code.
(locked bootloader)
The firmware is (1279-1792) 14.6A.1.236-R2D
Can anybody direct me to the right link to follow ?
Or commands are not downloadable anymore, or I don't know what tft file to use etc.
Can anybody direct me in the right direction ? Please?
Help is appreciated. I flashed and rooted a Z1 mini once before. years back.

If you can flash stock firmware with sony compagnon with sucess 100%, it means that it's not a firmware problem.
Are you sure new screen is good? Did you replace touchscreen and LCD or only one of them?
did you test with old screen to check if system boot is ok?

I replaced both in one. Screen with digitizer asssembly. And initially the phone booted fine to lockscreen with pattern. So screen is working fine.
I messed up trying 7 times the pattern upon which the phone by itsself booted to factory settings. Since then the phone is stuck. I tried repair with companion but that made no difference.
But the adb commands to unlock bootloader don't seem to be downloadable anymore. Not even from the link provided from the sony site. from which I optained the unlock key.

Yes ; if I hold the volume button up when phone is powered off, and connect the usb to the phone the powerled goes blue and the pc gives a messaga that fastboot is on. Phonescreen stays black.

I don't talk about fastboot mode.
I talk about stock recovery mode, where you can reset system to factory

If the phone boots up, for a second the language choice screen pops up and screen goes to grey. I cannot acces anything on the phone itsself.

well, it should be volume up and power button. But that only gets me to fastboot. No lights blincking at the supposed ledlight at all.
So the screen freezes at language choice page. that only appears shortly. sometimes just long enough to make a choice and then the screen goes grey. The only option to communicate seems to be fastboot. Since the pc recognices the phone as being in fastboot.
So how to proceed ?

Tnx. back when this was still somewhat a current model I knew what version it contained and with patience I rooted and flashed a X1c. Got a Flashtool download now branded Emma. . Looks weird in my eyes. But the .net page gives a virus error in the torrentfiles still being used in those days. Hence my loss. ? Emma version did give detailed info about the phone and the firmware and that bootloader is locked. Then can get unlock key from sony site, but adb files I can't get. And when I finallly can get them I am asked for admistrator password,. My stupid attempt to make an offline non google account pc, the other way around. And while only a few days ago I forgot that password hahaha. Dont't ask. strangers in tha house Gonna see if I have the old files still on the old brick (pc) and see if I can manage from there. -) tnx for answering and patience. I have a few bricks. maybe first create a dualboot. and be sure.
I'll report back if I get that old fart to life again thanks to your input.
Thanks again and enjoy and have fun
