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:

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

sorry, only camera I got now is in the phone itself.

Sent from my HUAWEI Y300-0100 using xda app-developers app
Dear friends, I'm from Brazil.
I bought a Meizu MX2 in Aliexpress because I thought to be an excellent phone, but my joy lasted only 2 days. Once he arrived I made all settings and started using it. The next day the Meizu launched Flyme OS 3.2 for MX2, I did not think twice and I did the upgrade. Soon after restarting it a message appeared on the screen saying that the phone was locked and asking for a password for an account Flyme, I do not know. Since then I can no longer use the phone.
Can anyone help me? I want to downgrade or unlock it.
Thank you

Thanks for the input i saw but for once wanted to be sure if anyone in india jas tried sideloading it and it worked and i guess what's going to happen when the apps are made officially available in India which at present seems unlikely

I wasn't so sure Apple boy.
Any news on that, and why would no one need it? I tried to install some of the gt2 pro faces but none worked complaining about different resolution.
So we definetely need a 3 pro watch faces collection.
Is the GT 3 so unpopular?
I am interested. The gt3 and 3 was just released last week by huawei Canada so I am sure other Canadians will be also interested
Having now got the GT 3, I am interested in new watch faces. So please make some & post on here
If not on here where can we can them?

It's a shame because it's a very good watch.
I don't understand this thread. There's a lot watchfaces for Huawei Watch 3/3 Pro on Telegram, etc. You can make your own watchface also. Use google search.

It is really a disappointment even from Huawei, no update from October, I've sent a feedback to them and they dont care about this.
Really disappointed that I've purchased this, but there are 0 to none good alternatives, Android Wear watches have bad battery life, Sammy watches looks like a toy, and other brands are sport only.
