Hi all!
New to phone hacking but not to computers. So I know enough to be dangerous. I want to root this phone and eventually want to do a custom ROM for it. My question is anyone succeeded in rooting this phone with 2.3.6? Here is what I have tried so far and have had no luck. I have spent three days on this before asking this question. So due diligence has been done.
I have installed the drivers / abt bundle enabled platform tools / pda net+ / fastboot
Unlock root = Does not get shell permission
Superone Click Tried many versions = many failed attempts and yes I entered the codes and enabled the log events and set to verbose. Mounted / unmounted sd card / no sd card etc.
Unlock root.com paid thirty dollars to get the same stuff that I tried. = scam
gingerbread exploit = does not support 2.3.6
universal androot = does not support 2.3.6
Emailed Huawei tech support for bootloader unlock code =
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Sorry about we haven’t released the Bootloader unlock code for U8652 now.
Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Best Regards.
Huawei Device Customer Care Team.
It seems to me that with 2.3.6 on this phone I can't get to it. This may not be the case but have read that some people have downgraded to 2.1 and have got it to work. One thing I feel I'm pretty sure about that the bootloader has to be unlocked to do anything with this phone. I've tried fastboot and try and run it from windows it opens and it closes instantly. I try to run it from a command prompt and comes back with path not found.
Any suggestions?
Thanks BK
I think if you go to this website suckmydroid.com you can root your phone there..I rooted my u8652 after having it Ben out of box within 15 mins but forgot how I did
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Bought my Huawei G520 direct from China
Never occured to me that it would have no access to google apps
Anyway I found out the bootloader was also locked so i couldn't flash anything (except for those complete roms with INSTALL file)
Sent an email to Huawei with phone details requesting the code to unlock the bootloader
They sent me the code the very next day!!!
With the message "Thanks for supporting Huawei"
Brilliant
but my hopes were soon dashed - the phone *still* wont root??????????????????
I must of tried 10 different root methods and how I haven't bricked it I'll never no - but they all fail at some point
I mean, the bootloader is now definitely UNlocked, (it reports UNLOCKED and used to report LOCKED), it even has clockwork mod on it some how and it works fine, but any attempt to install roms fail
I have Rom Explorer on the phone and that quite clearly says the phone is not rooted???
I dont know whats going on?
Any ideas what else might be locked on it?

It sounds like a filesystem issue, maybe a hardware problem, like bad flash memory. Are you able to install apps and copy files to it?
Did you install CWM, or did it come with it?

I think cwm just appeared after running one of the rooting tools
Have no trouble installing apps and copying files over
I was wondering if anyone has started on root for this phone and if so could u help me in getting started I have tried kingoroot and kingroot apk with no luck next step on my agenda is running pc version to see if I can get at least temp root. But in the day I've had my phone I've only found out how to get safe mode, no fastboot or download mode im aware of for testing with adv by me.

LGE LG Phoenix 3 LG-M150
I would follow this thread and see if anyone finds anything, but I wouldn't hold my breath. LG is good at locking devices up, as is AT&T

It is different for every device if you have had service on your phone for 6 months you can call them to have them unlock it or go to At&t's web site and request an unlock code I did the web site way got my unlock code in 2 days with instructions using a NON At&t SIM card by e-mail
And no it doesn't cost anything its Free

do you have to actually use the phone for 6 months to get unlocked or just be a customer for 6 months? (I have been w att for 3 years)
Just got a Nokia 3.1 to use a testing tool and other fun stuff, and therefore would like to root it. Does anyone of you know of a working root of the 3.1?
So this phone is a no go for root and custom roms I guess.

Why do you think so? Bootloader can be unlocked via Developer settings, and I think there is no special magic preventing this device from rooting.
I would try rooting it by flashing some SuperSU zips or something like that, but I didn't try it yet
Has anyone checked this out? I haven't purchased a Nokia 3.1 but am considering it. I went so far as to create a Nokia account and there is a bootloader unlock apk, as well as an unlock.key that can be downloaded, and there are clear instructions on the Nokia page itself.. Since I don't have the phone, I did not attempt to proceed. However, if the 3.1 qualifies (I don't see why it wouldn't) then getting root should be as easy as following Magisk instructions.
There is even a page for the open source releases.
If I were to get the 3.1, my main objective would likely be to just obtain root. Looks like it should be doable.
Edit - well over 100 views since I posted this but no one has tried to unlock and/or root. I thought that was the purpose of this thread.
Unfortunately that app always crashes

That is unfortunate! Perhaps, does activating Developer Options allow to select OEM Unlocking and USB Debuging, then running the Unlocking App? To run step 5 of 5 (see NOKIA INSTRUCTIONS below) you would need to have USB Debugging enabled anyway. Nowhere in the instructions is that mentioned.
FYI - Activate Developer Options: Go to Settings>About Phone and tap Build Number 7 times. Back out to access Developer Options.
Also, I do not have this phone but am interested in it. I cannot confirm if any of the advice I am giving will work, but it is what I would try.
NOKIA INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Firstly, we need to validate that the phone you would like to unlock is operated by you. There are a few steps to this, so we ask that you carefully follow all instructions. Let’s get started.
To participate, simply complete the following steps:
1. Please download the Nokia Bootloader Unlocker app. You can download the apk from this link and install the apk on your device. If you don’t understand how to install an apk on your device, please do not unlock the bootloader on your device. Doing so will void your phone's warranty and may cause irreparable damage.
2. Launch the Nokia Bootloader Unlocker app and fill your email information and click “Submit”.
3. The app will display a code. Please enter this in the form below along with your email address. Then press "Request to Unlock"
Your bootloader can now be unlocked. Follow the instructions below:
Step 1/5
Check the email you entered during registration. You should receive an email with a message as follows:
Hi, Thanks for requesting the unlocking bootloader. Please download your unlock key from the following link. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Download the unlock key and save it as “unlock.key”.
Step 2/5
Power off your device. Once powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button.
Step 3/5
While keeping the Volume Down button pressed, connect the device to the computer via USB cable. The device will boot into “Download mode”. If you have difficulty, try powering up normally, power off the device again and start back from Step 1.
Step 4/5
Download the following fastboot binary for your OS here.
Step 5/5
Open a command prompt:
Windows: Start > cmd
Mac: Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app
Linux: Terminal
Navigate to the directory where the previously downloaded unlock.key file is saved. Then enter the following commands:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.key
fastboot oem unlock
If successful, you should see the below message:
Unlock success!
Then reboot the device by entering the following command:
fastboot reboot
You are done!
It doesn't work either way. I tried with both those options enabled and disabled but the program always crashes. It's interesting to note that the app itself fails to install through chrome or "Files" app. Gives an error saying "Can't open app". I only managed to install it through ES File Explorer. Could it be because of I bought the phone on a Vodafone store? I can't find the original stock rom to flash, sadly.

I have been researching this and have found that, as of this writing, only the Nokia 8 qualifies for bootloader unlocking. See here. The only thing holding me back from jumping on this Nokia 3.1 is the inability to unlock the bootloader (and maybe the lack of fingerprint sensor.) Hopefully it gets "approved soon".
Currently the oem unlock using the Nokia bootloader unlock only works for Nokia 8
is there a way to root the 3.1 yet successfully? im a noob at this stuff and don't want to screw my phone.

No, not until Nokia decides to allow users to unlock bootloader.
What about the 3.1 plus. I've already unlocked OEM. I just started looking, thought I'd start here first.

It doesn't matter if you have enabled "OEM unlocking" option in Developer settings, currently Nokia doesn't allow unlocking of bootloader and thus rooting device, unless you are Nokia 8 user. You can try this, but it will crash almost for sure.
As far as I can tell, my bootloader is unlocked. I am a noob of course, but I have been researching this topic for a couple of months now. I could be mistaken in thinking "upload" mode is it, but I can't seem to figure out the difference. Otherwise, I don't know what to do next.

To get to "Upload" mode? Assuming it's the same for the 3.1 Plus-maybe I should have specified that-holding power button and volume up during startup will open "Upload" mode.
You can also use adb with the command "reboot bootloader." For that reason, I think it's the bootloader, but I could be wrong.
Sorry if I was a bit misleading and it is totally different on the Nokia 3.1, I was just some kinda hopeful to actually see people talk about it.
Let's get her done

I'm not bringing any sizable programming skills to the table unless somebody wants to teach me real fast.
Hopefully, I bring tidings of great joy. So I got two these Nokia's and they're both locked. to the carrier, Cricket. I suspect they are at least unlawfully locked. . My understanding is you can't lock to used phone especially if it's been sold as a prepaid phone. I believe this falls under the reseller flex policy. I bought it off of eBay from a guy that sells nothing but phones and he's been extremely cagey about what he'll admit to, so I called the carrier. I literally waited an hour and a half on the phone because I am falling asleep and I was on a computer speaker phone so it kept on the time of the call. I only held that long because I had fallen asleep. Anyway since I'm not in a cricket or AT&T customer then don't plan to eitherbe they could care less about me it actually told me they didn't have any information on the phone after I gave them the IMEI number.
My guess is the fcc's not going to do much because it's a trump Administration. So I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Nokia and well at least they're interesting I think Microsoft paid between 7 and 12 billion to acquire them I recently sold them off for like a box of jujyfruits. Anyway they're committed to customer service so I figure my predicament might give me an in there.
So those unlock codes that it was a link earlier in the post for that's just to unlock the bootloader, right? You know this is a pretty decent phone for a low-end guy I got the newer 3.1 C it's got Cricket's bootloader in bloatware on it,
takes up a ton of space.
I mean it probably won't happen but if Nokia ever goes public again - I think the acquiring companies. Their eye on the prize and they're going to kick some ass. So I'm all in on this let's get this done. If you want I can see what I can do about asking Nokia 4 whatever it's going to take just to keep me a satisfied customer since they know Cricket/ATT isn't following the Obama regs.
Oof... It would be beautiful if Nokia customer support could guide us onto rooting this phone.
its so simple to unlock oem on nokia 3.1 plus. no third app needed. after developer option on -> go to developer option setting -> there is toggle button to on/off developer option , just use that toggle to off it and on it -> press yes for on dev options -> and select oem unlock. that all
It is pretty straightforward once you have unlocked bootloader (not by Nokia). If you want, you can simply dump boot_a or boot_b with SPflash tool, patch in Magisk app, and reflash.
Otherwise you can use my TWRP (NO TOUCH, and has disabled dm-verity). Please note it's only working on build v3.180, updates not supported - as it was only needed for my project.

Hi community
First Thanks to the people who take time to help, and admin that create that forum. Im always glad to see that s there is still people caring about helping each other
I come to you cause I spent the last 2 days trying to fix my brand new phone.
Brand : Xiaomi
Model : Mi ultra
My Computer : MacBook Air
Problem : "The system has been destroy"
Other problem :
- USB debugging OFF (not able to access to the phone in any way)
- Bootloader Locked
How its happen :
After installing an EU Rom, I re locked the boot loader using Adb... And it crashed.
I tried almost everything you find on internet using a Mac and till now nothing worked.
I tried to unlock the boot loader using ADB, which one the only thing who seems to be working and I got an error message saying that the Miunlocktools was too old ... ?
The token was available, as I already unlock it.
Does anyone know how I can switch ON the debugging mode without accessing my phone, or Unlock the boot loader using my Mac.
It seems there is solution possible but using windows computer, and tbh I will not buy a computer just for that.. for the moment
Thanks in advance to everyone
PS : I will offer 50USD straight in BTC to the one who will provide me the solution that will help me to fix it
Locking / unlocking a phone's bootloader is done by means of Fastboot, not ADB.
ADB & Fastboot are 2 completely different things. Don't confuse them.
AFAIK you can't enable ADB ( USB debugging ) from outside, this can only get enabled from inside ( Android Settings -> Developer options ) unless one creates/provides a flashable, properly signed ZIP that contains the code ( read: update-binary script ) to rewrite device's build.prop file entries accordingly.
BTW: A locked bootloader always tries to run device's Stock ROM.
Thanks for your quick answer. In other word, is it possible ? I am looking for what you say.
If I rewrite it, will I be able to switch it ON then ?
Im not at all a professional , that's my first step in this "world". It seems difficult, I will need to read a lot I think
What do you think about the EDL cable also, do you think it can work ?

IDK.
Never have bricked a phone. And I never owned a Xiaomi device.
locking a bootloader (at least in xiaomi phones )results in the phone being reformatted and the stock rom is installed
also try installing the newest version of miunlock https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
you might have to wait 7 days or less or more or might not have to
