Will this work on u8652 ? do you need specific files for this phone?
Thanks BK
Try this,
Step 1. http://androidforums.com/huawei-son...nmod-7-2-zad-rom-v-1-5huawei-u8650-sonic.html
Download and unzip the "Drivers Huawei (adb drivers)" to your desktop and install the drivers. Also download and unzip the "Custom CM Recovery" to your desktop as you will need it later.
Step 2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Create a folder named DooMLoRD-v4 on your desktop and Download DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip and unzip it to that folder.
Put your phone into USB debugging mode and run the "runme" batch file in the DooMLoRD-v4 folder on your desktop. When done your phone should be rooted.
Step 3. Open the Custom CM Recovery folder and run the "Instalador" batch file
you now should have a rooted AT&T Fusion with ClockworkMod Recovery installed on it.
Step 4. http://androidforums.com/huawei-son...nmod-7-2-zad-rom-v-1-5huawei-u8650-sonic.html
Scroll down and you will find two custom roms that you can download and install on your phone with CM Recovery. Before you install open up the "system" folder and open the build.prop file in notepad once opened go to edit and in the drop down you should see a replace option. Replace "u8650" with "u8652" so that in your info your phone will have the right model number and save it.

I fist of all would like to thank you for your time and effort. I hit runnme and got some interesting things coming across the terminal
something about adb oudated
rom is read only
superuser failed to install
I wish i could copy the terminal data so you could see whats going on.
Is this supposed to work with 2.3.6 android?
I am going to try to find another driver and try again if anything comes to mind let me know.
Thanks BK
reloaded driver
Ok I reloaded the driver which was ok all along. Reran the doomlords app and this is what I get on the terminal.
mount: permission denied ( are you root? )
system\xbin\busybox cannot open for write
busybox not found
link failed
failed to copy superuser
Is this permission to write needing the bootloader to be unlocked? If so how do I do that?
Thanks BK
Possibly the Wrong root method..

[Guide] Newbie to Photon Q 4G LTE Rooting w/ Ice Cream Sandwich

Purpose: The purpose of this guide is to help collect all information and steps needed to root a Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE and use Clockwork Mod. When I looked for tutorials there were no updated ones that detailed how to do this with the latest android update (as of May 2014) for the Photon. Some steps may have been / were copied from various posts & guides around the internet, again this is just a collection of information.
Goal: A user who just opened his Photon Q 4G LTE and did all the factory updates should be able to get his phone rooted by the end of the guide.
Note: I started this guide but sadly the ribbon cable on my Photon Q 4G LTE broke and I just decided to switch carriers. I never got back to proof reading this guide while it was still fresh in my memory but if anyone sees and issues just let me know.
Unlock the Bootloader:
I unlocked the bootloader because I wanted to install ClockWork Mod and read that you had to. Not sure if you need to do this just for root access. I wanted CWM so that I could create a backup of this phone as is came from the factory so if I want to restore down the road I can. Unlike my Samsung it seems difficult to find the factory software for the Photon Q so this seemed like the best way to get it. Also nice to have the ability to take backups of my phone every so often. Assuming your phone is new I recommend that you also take a factory backup once clockwork mod is on before installing any other apps.
1. Download and install the drivers for the Photon Q from Motorola here ( https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481 )
2. Download this ZIP package which contains the tools you need for most of the steps here ( https://od.lk/f/MjRfMjc2MDc1Ml8 )
3. Head over to Motorola’s bootloader unlock site and sign in / register ( https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b )
4. Put your device in fastboot mode by powering off, waiting a moment, then pressing the “power” and “volume down” buttons simultaneously and releasing the “power” button ONLY after a few seconds. Once you see the fastboot screen you can release “volume down” as well.
5. Unzip and open the folder with the ZIP files from Step 2 and open a command prompt or terminal (in Windows 7 hold “Shift” and right-click in the folder and select “open command window here”.
6. In the prompt, type “fastboot oem get_unlock_data” without the quotes.
7. You will see 5 or so lines with either “(bootloader)” or “INFO” in front of them. Use notepad or some other basic text editor to paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string WITHOUT (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces in front of them so your string looks something like this: 0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
8. Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting the string in the field on Motorola’s page on their section 6. and click “Can my device be unlocked?” If you have a problem with this most likely the string you pasted in the box has spaces or extra / incorrect characters. Try again.
9. Open the email and get the unlock code. My email ended up in the “Promotion” category inbox instead of my normal inbox so if you don’t see it check in other places such as “Spam”.
10. Put your device in fastboot mode again by powering off, waiting a moment, then pressing the “power” and “volume down” buttons simultaneously and releasing the “power” button ONLY after a few seconds. Once you see the fastboot screen you can release “volume down” as well.
11. Connect the device to the computer with a USB cable. You'll get a confirmation message on the device to indicate that it's connected.
12. Open the folder with the ZIP files from Step 2 again and open a command prompt or terminal (in Windows 7 hold “Shift” and right-click in the folder and select “open command window here”.
13. In the prompt, type “fastboot devices” without the quotes and make sure your device shows up.
14. To unlock the bootloader, enter the following in the prompt “fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY” without quotes where you replace the “UNIQUE_KEY” with the code you received in the email. It is case-sensitive.
15. If the line was entered correctly, you will see a message confirming that your device was unlocked.​Install Clockwork Mod:
1. Download the latest ClockWorkMod recovery for the Photon Q from clockworkmod.com/rommanager and place the file in the same folder as the files from Bootloader Step 2. Be careful to select the right image!
2. Connect the Photon Q to the computer via USB.
3. Open the folder with the ZIP files from Bootloader Step 2 again and open a command prompt or terminal (in Windows 7 hold “Shift” and right-click in the folder and select “open command window here”.
4. Put your device in fastboot mode again by powering off, waiting a moment, then pressing the “power” and “volume down” buttons simultaneously and releasing the “power” button ONLY after a few seconds. Once you see the fastboot screen you can release “volume down” as well.
5. In the prompt, type “fastboot devices” without the quotes and make sure your device shows
a. If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
b. If you see "no permissions fastboot", make sure your UDEV rules are setup correctly.
6. Flash ClockWork Mod recovery onto your device by entering the following command in the prompt “fastboot flash recovery image.img” without the quotes where “image.img” is the full name of the file you downloaded in Step 1.
7. Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation by powering off the phone and then holding both “Volume Up” & “Power” simultaneously until you see ClockWork Mod on the screen. From here you can take a backup (recommended) if you want to like I did.
o Note: Some ROMs overwrite recovery at boot time so if you do not plan to immediately boot into recovery to install CyanogenMod, please be aware that this may overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one. ​Root the device:
1. Boot the Photon Q normally and go to Settings>Developer Options> and enable USB Debugging. You may have to turn on Developer Options as well if they are grayed out.
2. Connect the Photon Q to the computer via USB.
3. Navigate to the folder with the ZIP files from Bootloader Step 2 again open the run.bat file.
4. Press Enter after reading the disclaimer (if you want) and wait for the file to finish running.
5. After it is done you can press enter again to close the prompt and disconnect your phone
6. After the phone reboots automatically you will see a new Super User app in your app list. You are now rooted.​
FYI installing TWRP will offer to automatically root the device for you when you reboot back into Android.
Also, CWM for our devices is horribly outdated, and last I checked completely unable to flash any KK-based ROM. I wouldn't recommend it - OpenRecovery or TWRP are my recommendations.

The two months I had my Photon Q working CWM worked great for me. Did a few backups and didn't have to re-root after each boot. But it always helps to have more options so thanks for mentioning both alternatives!

I'm pretty sure CWM won't flash KK-based ROM's as I stated previously.
Also, you shouldn't have to re-root - TWRP just does the rooting for your if you are installing a custom recovery for the first time so you don't have to do it manually .

Thanks again! I just used the stock rom but rooted during my brief time with the phone but this will help those who wish to use KK on the Photon.

Guide: How to reboot your Nexus 5 without power button

Hi everyone, I would like to share my experience regarding two methods that I have used to revive a Nexus 5 whose power button just will not work. Please use this guide if your Nexus 5 dies due to a low battery and you want to boot (start) it without power button. Following methods have been successfully tested on Win 7 and 10. You can use this guide and keep using your Nexus 5 without repairing the power button. There are other guides and posts which can help you attain locking, unlocking of the screen and remapping the hardware buttons such as volume keys to perform as a power button.
Method 1
Step 1: Download adb/fastboot binaries or use Android SDK for adb/fastboot. If downloaded as a zip, extract it in a folder. It is better to download adb/fastboot minimal, as it is small and can be handy.
Step 1a: Download your phone drivers and install them. If it is a zip folder then extract it in a folder for later use.
Step 2: Plug in the micro USB in your phone. Hold both volume keys on the phone and while holding the keys plug the USB cable in to your PC’s/laptop’s USB port. Your phone will reboot in Bootloader mode where you will see START written at the top of your phone screen which is the prompt to start the system but you cannot select it, as your phone’s power button does not work.
Step 3: Open Command Prompt in windows, which is cmd . Navigate to your adb/fastboot folder which you created while extracting the zip or you might be able to use the commands from anywhere in command prompt if you have installed Android SDK.
Step 3a: Commands only work if you installed adb/fastboot correctly or you are in the binaries folder. While in the corresponding folder,
Type: fastboot devices
123456789 fastboot
The command will show devices connected in fastboot mode just like the above example
If your phone does not appear here then go to control panel>device manager search for any unknown device such as unknown device or android device ; Right click on it and choose update drivers. Do not select the auto search for updated drivers. Select browse my computer for driver and then browse to the folder where you had extracted the drivers choose the right folder and windows should install your device as android bootloader interface device.
Once installed properly, you should see your device by typing the above command again. When successful
Type: fastboot reboot
Now your phone should reboot and start normally.
Method 2
Step 1: Download Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh.
Step 1a: Download your phone drivers and install them. If it is a zip folder then extract it in a folder for later use.
Step 2: Plug in the micro USB in your phone. Hold both volume keys on the phone and while holding the keys plug the USB cable in to your PC’s/laptop’s USB port. Your phone will reboot in Bootloader mode where you will see START written at the top of your phone screen which is the prompt to start the system but you cannot select it, as your phone’s power button does not work.
Step 3: Run Nexus Root Toolkit. Let it complete its initialisation and when done its main window will pop up on your desktop. If your using it for the first time it will ask for your phone model and android version. Input the details appropriately, if you do not know the android version you are running choose any build which is at the end of the list.
Step 3a: The toolkit might ask for any dependency files to be downloaded, which it will download automatically. You might be able to skip it but if you use any build or wish not to download them but it won’t harm if you download them as you might wish to use the toolkit later.
Step 4: After completing the above step. Toolkit will finally be ready to use. From the main window of toolkit click Launch under the Advanced Utilities.
Step 5: Choose Reboot System and your phone will reboot normally.
If Toolkit returns, No adb/fastboot device found then follow the next step.
Additional Step: Go to control panel>device manager search for any unknown device such as unknown device or android device ; Right click on it and choose update drivers. Do not select the auto search for updated drivers. Select browse my computer for driver and then browse to the folder where you had extracted the drivers choose the right folder and windows should install your device as android bootloader interface device.
Once drivers are installed, go to Step 5 and it should work for you.
The above methods have been used on Nexus 5 and might be helpful on other Nexus or completely different devices from other brands
For Mods: I have done my good faith search before making this guide. Please let me know if a similar guide exists or I have posted it in a wrong place.
If it has helped anyone please consider a Thanks. By the way it is my first post.
For downloads, please use search engines and you will be happily served.

GUIDE: Revive a Nexus 5 with defective Power Button

Like many people have experienced, one day the power button on my Nexus 5 failed, and an endless cycle of bootloops began, rendering my device useless.
At this point, there are really only two options.
Option 1: Replace the power button. For me, this option is a bit beyond my soldering capabilities. And to be done properly, requires equipment (e.g., soldering stand with magnifier) that I don't have.
Option 2: Physically remove the offending power button (which at a minimum will allow the device to boot properly).
With an otherwise useless device and nothing to lose, I chose Option 2. Here are the steps I went through to put some more life into my Nexus 5.
Step 1: Remove the motherboard. There's a nice guide here: https://it.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+5+Motherboard+Replacement/64811
Step 2: Use a soldering iron to heat up and physically remove the defective power button from the motherboard.
Step 3: Reassemble the phone.
Step 4: Hold down the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously while plugging the phone in. The phone should now boot into the bootloader screen.
Step 5: Plug the phone into a computer with adb/fastboot installed [see: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html], open Terminal, and type "fastboot reboot"; your phone should now boot your OS.
Step 5a: From here you can perform a factory reset if you simply want to remove all your data and sell your device (for parts) or recycle it.
Step 5b: If you want to make your device more or less usable, let's keep going!
Step 6: If you are lucky, your bootloader was already unlocked before your power button failed. If so, jump down to Step 15. Otherwise, if you are unlucky (like I was), you need to unlock the bootloader. But how to do this without a power button? Hmmm. The solution: a small piece of wire to "short" out the switch. [See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/3qp02o/possible_to_unlock_bootloader_without_power_button/]
Step 7: Enable ADB Debugging (under Developer Options) on your phone. If it's not already plugged in to your computer, plug it in.
Step 8: Open Terminal and type "adb reboot bootloader"
Step 9: In Terminal, type "fastboot flashing unlock" and use the Volume button to toggle to the "Yes" option.
Step 10: With everything powered, your phone connected to your computer, and "Yes" selected, remove the sim card tray, the back cover, and the midframe. Disconnect the front facing and rear facing cameras. Leave everything else connected.
Step 11: Carefully pry up the motherboard so you can access the power button solder pads and use the small bit of wire to "connect" the two pads. This should confirm the "Yes" option and unlock the bootloader.
Step 12: Carefully reassembled everything.
Step 13: With the phone still connected to your computer, type "fastboot reboot" in Terminal. Since you unlocked the bootloader your phone will be wiped during reboot and so the boot process will take a little longer than normal.
Step 14: Enable ADB Debugging. And then reboot into the bootloader.
Step 15: Install TWRP custom recovery. But without a power button, this is a little bit trickier than normal, since after flashing the recovery.img via fastboot you can't boot directly to recovery and thus your custom recovery will be overwritten by the stock recovery during the boot process. So...you need to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to temporarily boot your custom recovery and from there you can properly install the custom recovery. Open a Terminal window in the folder containing your recovery image and type "fastboot boot yourrecovery.img" [in my case, I typed "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-1-hammerhead.img"].
Step 16: Once TWRP has loaded, you need to Install TWRP again within TWRP. Put your TWRP.img file into your phone's internal memory and then use the .img option in the Install menu to select and flash the TWRP.img you put into internal memory in to Recovery. TWRP should now officially be your phone's recovery.
Step 17: Reboot System via TWRP to ensure that all's well.
Step 18: If you didn't have a custom rom already installed before your power button failed, I recommend installing one, since there will likely be some additional functionality that will help mitigate the missing power button [like volume rocker wake]. I recommend OmniRom and that's what I installed.
Step 19: Flash SuperSU via TWRP.
Step 20: Reboot.
Step 21: Install a file explorer with root manager capability. I used ES File Explorer. You can find the .apk on apkmirror.com.
Step 22: Use your file explorer to edit /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl and re-map power button to volume down by changing "key 114" from "VOLUME DOWN" to "POWER". Thanks @Fihlvein for this info!
Step 23: Reboot.
Step 24: Profit! Your Nexus 5 should be good to go!
NB: Unfortunately there's is still one annoyance to be dealt with: once you power off the phone there is still no way to turn the phone on without using the "fastboot reboot" method [Step 4] which means you need to have a computer nearby...which isn't always very handy. The solution is to keep your phone powered on and adequately charged.

Download twrp.img and move it inside the platform-tools folder mega.nz/fm/NMkD1DwJ
Step 5:
(if your bootloader is already unlocked skip this)
WARNING! ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE ERASED FOLLOW STEP 3!
Connect your device to your pc then open platform-tools folder you extracted then shift + right click and click 'open command prompt here'
Once again go into dev settings and enable 'oem unlocking'
Type: adb reboot bootloader (your device will boot into fastboot mode)
Then type : fastboot devices
Something like this should appear:
Devices
ABCDEFG2855568
Then type : fastboot oem unlock and press volume up on your device (read the warning I have written on top)
Then setup your device like you did when you got it out of the box
Step 6:
Once again type adb devices and then adb reboot bootloader
Then once its booted into fastboot mode
Type : fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
When it's indicated that its finished unplug the device from the pc and pull out the battery.
Then hold power + volume up until the alcatel logo shows up
You should now be booting into twrp. Restart your phone and boot it normally.
Step 7:
Download the latest supersu package to root the device
http://www.supersu.com/download then move it onto the storage of your device
Step 8:
Turn your phone off and hold power + volume up again and you should boot into twrp
Press 'install' and select the supersu file (where you have put it)
Then swipe yes and wait for the process to finish.
After it finishes press reboot.
Restore data (type 'how to restore data using adb')
And congratulations you are now rooted
