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!
is this working on Huawei Y300-0100 or U8833-1??? pls help me how to root my phone, thank you so much!

Good signal? for US$ 130 is kinda'right?

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:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDcxNDI=
Is it possible or recommended to flash this rom? (fone current build: V100R001C00B169)
Thanks!

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

Hello guys i am currently using a Samsung S3 Neo and im looking to buy a new phone.So from reviews like Android authority it seemed very good,performance is great and the camera is amazing but i saw this problem with them called the ''bootloop'' so im wondering if I should buy it. Is the bootloop fixable or not existing anymore because i read that it was only in the models produced the first 2-3 months.

Isn't bootloop related with custom roms?

I have it like for 6 months now and zero problems.
I didn't even thought the problem you mentioned was hardware related hehehe
I really thought was custom Rom related.
To be honest I never was a really LG fan because in my country there's like only a few stores with LG accessories etc.
Like I said, for me phone is about camera quality and performance because I use phone as a work gadget.
So... My next one will LG5 if camera please me.
Good luck in your buy

G4 right know has unbelievable value for money!
It has great performance, amazing display, top-tier camera (especially if you learn how to use manual mode), 3000mAh battery and ample ROM support
Just be sure to get an H815 International model if you plan on rooting and doing custom ROM!

you can root locked bootloader only if on lollipop 5.1 and you can also have xposed....
if phone its on marshmallow you also need to know the antirollback version.. like you cant downgrade marshmallow V3 antiroll to Lolliop V2 itll brick phone..
am you must be aware that some devices have bootloop.. and the best thing is for you to have the closest country that has bootloader unlocked... for example. if you are in europe and have the h811 tmobile from usa.. if bootloop.. the phone must be sent to tmobile or to LG usa. unless the place you buy it gives you warranty.... so its best to have one for your country.. if from usa .. they wont fix it in wurope you must send phone to USA...
here is the list on the ones that can be unlock.

Wtf? That is simply not true, I have unlocked my H815 while on V20D stock MM without any downgrade to Lollipop.
Just use official LG bootloader unlock, then flash twrp, then enjoy custom ROM world

read before posting i said to him to get a bootloader unlockable h815 phone. and i stated that he can only root locked bootloader one if hes on LP. just in case he doesnt get one unlockable one. as he might have to send it back in case of bootloop.
Took the plunge. Seems enough people care about the phone it will get some love. I have the Chinese model, and am so glad I waited. They just started releasing all black models instead of the nasty gold/black (if you liked that combo good on you, but I could not stand it and was going to get a white one). Here are some pics of mine. Now, 14 day wait to unlock (yay?). Wife had some good logic behind that, it is in case people return the device. Most online sellers here will only take a return within 7 days, you could do a lot to and with the phone in that time.

Hi there I have had my phone for 12 days (11 yesterday) and was able to get a unlock code instantly from the Chinese Huawei website: http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=apply and by following the guide from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701. The website does loop back to the login page a few times but I just kept repeating till I managed to get to the application page for the unlock code. After filling in the form the code itself was presented onscreen as soon as I clicked apply so good luck!
Thanks for the reply. That site is just a mirror of the English one posted before. It still just kicks back a "you need 14 days..." Wondering though, did you set up the huawei account and such on your device?

Yes I did but when I tried to enter it on the website it said it was linked with another website so I created a new account from my backup email directly on the website itself. I had more luck on the Chinese site than the English one as that would not even show some options for me.

Yeah, being in China I tried the English site first then the Chinese, haha, seriously I did. Might call them and ask, they might just phone jump to the engineering area where someone will do it and give it to me. Or I suppose I could go to one of hundreds of shops that will do it. Lets see if Huawei can be good to me.

I remember being able to get a phone unlocked for next to nothing then the more the fancier phones came out the more shops charged a LOT to unlock. Good luck with contacting Huawei themselves and here's hoping they will be kind. I dunno how I managed to get a unlock code really quick as I nearly gave up then tried the Chinese site which as soon as I entered the details presented my code instantly on screen. Are you planning on Installing the Nougat beta once you have unlocked your device?

Shops here in China are really cheap still, finding one that knows what they are doing is another thing. Nope, will stick with MM until official release. I am more interested in testing, hopefully some kernels and roms will pop up soon. I am an N5 user and still will rely on that device, this is a hopeful crossover device. Been drinking whiskey tonight, sorry if I am incomprehensible.

It gets the job done paying to unlock when they know what they are doing its just the price can be a tad high. Yeah Some kernels and roms should show up soon now the source has been provided by Huawei. Haha no worries I see your enjoying yourself and your new phone lol.

The all black model is really sick! I bought the white one, so I understand your pov about the gold (nowaday I consider titanium grey being a good choice too).
You do have to set up a huawei account in the device. However, for some weird reason, I had to wait for more than 14 days and couldn't get the code to unlock it. So I bought credits in dc-unlocker tool and could get the code with this unofficial method.

I would of gone for Obsidian Black as well if the option had been there, the options I did have were Titanium Grey and Prestige Gold.
It only came out here about a week or two ago, the all black model. The model for the Chinese market is better, but I don;t know if it would support LTE in most places.
Well, this sucks. Got impatient and tried to use the DC unlocker method, but no way to pay them. Every method is rejected, probably because I am in China. Trying to buy some bitcoins now, will see how it goes
Darn, I am already thoroughly annoyed at this phone. Just had to jump through a million hoops, only to be waiting on a bitcoin transaction. Hopefully, once I finally get the bootloader unlocked I will feel better, but right now I am

I am planning to purchase the Lava Red version which is only sold in China. Judging from the Chinese specs page, it appears the difference is the OS? So that means the bootloader may be unlocked, I can flash a custom ROM or kernel from XDA, and basically use it as if I had the international version correct?
Of course it can. I'm also buy the red lava version from Shenzen, China. The ROM itself is Hydrogen OS and I flash Oxygen OS. For tutorials, you can check it out at this link : http://downloads.oneplus.net/
Default bootloader is locked.

What do they charge for shipping to U.S.? Do you pay customs too?
I bought an International Red OP5T 8GB/128GB from GearBest,it has Oxygen OS installed,YMMV if bought else where:

I paid a lot less than current pricing.
If you subscribe/open a GearBest account & receive promotional e-mails,you'll see some special e-mail subscriber only pricing on the OP5T every 2-3 days.
FWIW,I paid $549.99 USD for my Red OP5T (I opted for express DHL shipping,added about $9.50 USD to the total cost,no other taxes or fees to the US) ........................

Otherwise, you will see higher pricing.

ok im all signed up. atm it's 755usd. if the discount and so on is all applied it'll come down to 400gpb (50gpb cheaper than those ebay ones) or 550usd near your price.
if i got that for 400gpb id be so happy. because the standard ones we can find for about 360gpb. only 40gpb or 55usd more for the red!!
thank you man, so i should just wait now for their emails. id wait a couple of weeks no problem.
just to confirm, these red ones are all the same model/version. they can all be rooted and custom rom?
also the finger print scanner on back is liek google pixel, just a scanner, not a power button like LG v20, v30, g6 etc? how do you find that? I had the lg v20 and I thought it was the best phone at the time ever (i came from samsung notes before they screwed up the note series and then put the rear sensors too high for my puny hands lol.....) as in I like the finger scanner and power as one. sometimes annoying to turn off phone screen though, thats why i think i'll like the oneplus 5t because the power button is separate, also i like that mute, vibrate and sound button, great feature without unlocking phone.
but the oneplus 6 is being announced in march? i could wait, but i kinda need a work phone now

You won't have to wait long for the emails to start rolling in, I get two every day like clockwork.
I've seen the OP5T on about 3-4 emails in the past 10 days or so. Ordered mine about a week - ten days ago, it arrived Thursday (1-7-18).
The FPR is just that, not a combination power button. The power button & SIM tray are on the right side, volume & mute on the left.
It shipped with OOS 7.1.1, Google Services on board, Bootloader locked.

what exactly does that mean, whats good about oxygen compared to the other?
also google services onboard means what exactly? and bootlocker locked means it's locked, does that mean we have to get trwp or someone to unlock the bootloader?
sorry for being hopeless lol

This is beginning to go off-topic.....
Take a look around the OP5T forum & Google search for answers to these questions,especially for Bootloader Unlocking / TWRP.
Regarding Google services on board, it means just that:
Phones solely intended for use in China do not have Google services installed. The international models do.
If you want to use anything Google related, buy an international model,unless sideloading/Bootloader unlocking/etc..... are 2nd nature to you.
If all of this is new to you, I highly suggest doing the same searches on YouTube, the how-to videos are a great tool to use.....

Take a look around the OP5T forum & Google search for answers to these questions,especially for Bootloader Unlocking / TWRP.

No,that isn't what I said or inferred:
I merely suggested getting an International version since it has Google services installed.
Apparently,either version can be bootloader unlocked & have TWRP/Root/ROMs.
Here's where to go,I suggest reading the stickied threads at a bare minimum:

Thank you mate.
oh wow, oneplus guys make it so thorough, other guys don't explain in that kind of detail with pictures. I wish everyone did it like this, I'm just not quite that savvy to always remember how to do these, especially on different devices.
can't wait to get my hands on a red 5t and get into it! xD

I switch phones a lot,so,I'm probably the worst person to ask,LOL.
Outside of owning the predecessor,the OP5,for a couple weeks ( I switch phones a lot.....& often ) ,I've been away from OnePlus since their Original 1+1,a lot has changed since then............
Most new phones no longer have some of the features many of us grew accustomed to (Removable Battery/SD Card slot/I-R Blaster/Dual Front-facing speakers).
Those things aside,this phone,IMHO,hardly needs much,if anything done to it.
My one recommendation would be to use it as-is,explore the features/settings it ships with before diving in to the ROM scene.
I'm rollin' w/stock OOS Android 8.0 beta ATM, at least for a month or so,before I dive in to the modding scene.
@entwicklun
Here's a couple videos,one straight from OnePlus,glad I took a look myself:
Good idea I'll go stock for awhile and get accustomed! Nice find.
I had an iPhone 3 back in the day. the one thing I miss from IOS is their magnifying glass when you try to correct a typo, you press and hold on a word and it'll zoom in then you drag to where you want the cursor to be. it's so damn faster than android stock gotta constantly click exactly at characters to delete a letter or pinch my screen to bloody zoom in.
Samsung and LG don't do the zoom in stock or android I don't think. it looks like this : and can we do it on oneplus or do you know something we can flash? I don't think it's an app. I think it's in the os or rom?

Greetings,
I'm interested in buying this phone mostly because it seems to have a good camera on paper for my <20k INR budget and the UI is a personal favourite of mine, just below the OxygenOS.
I would love to hear your experience with the camera, if it supports the GCam mod properly, and does the chunky design of the phone really make you reconsider buying it?
I would also love to know if you've tried anything to make the hdr10 work outside the YouTube app.
Thank you
I intend to get one if its easy to root the phone. Is it possible?

Yeah, from what I gathered online, all moto phones have a very similar and simple way to root them.
I remember having to write a letter to Xiaomi on why I wanted to root my phone and wait a week just to have the ability to unlock the bootloader of my Redmi note 4 lol. Moto's method is definitely way easier than that.

would system be read/write though? I've been out of the loop for a while, is there any fix for it yet?
if you're purchasing now, then there's no ROMs, TWRP, or anything.. but u can easily unlock bootloader and use ADB coz its Stock Android.. so if you want custom ROMs.. now you can just wait.. (if any ROM developer sees this.. if u own a Moto G40F.. pls make ROMs for this device.. thanks)
Does this device have NFC? The information all over the internet is contradicting. Please confirm
