Before rooting you need to unlock bootloader of your device:
Unlocking process :
- For unlocking you need 3 identifications from your phone.
1. Serial No. You can find this in Settings > About phone > status. 2nd last line.
2. IMEI No. Again Settings > About phone > status. You need IMEI1 only. I repeat for dual sim phones, IMEI1 is only required.
3. Product ID. To get your phone's product ID, dial "*#*#1357946#*#*". The number you see on screen after dialing this code is Product ID. copy it.
- Now goto http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
This page is in chinese. From first dropdown select 2nd options. Wait for sometime, while it loads phone model names into second dropdown. Once phone models are loaded. Select GEM-703L from second dropdown.
- Put in your Serial No, IMEI No, Product ID in next 3 text boxes.
- Key in Verification code you see in image next to last box.
- Click Submit button (Right side green button)
If you consistently get some error. Mail above SN, IMEI, Product ID to [email protected]. They will revert back with unlock code in few days.
- Next download "X2 bootloader unlock.zip".
link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrznidv7c0fi4do/X2 Bootloader unlock.zip?dl=1
- Connect phone to computer, shutdown. Press and hold volume down button and power button. Keep holding volume down button, untill phone enters boot loader mode.
- double-click unlock.bat. Select option 3.
- Disconnect phone from computer, Key in the unlock code on phone. If unlock is success, you will see a android robot and "Phone unlocked" written below it.
Now Rooting :
There are essentially 3 methods for rooting, Method 3 is better than 2 is better than 1.
Method 3 : Credit : http://cn.club.vmall.com/space-uid-5467988.html
1. There are seperate rar files for B009 and B012. Download based on your current Rom.
B009 root : https://www.dropbox.com/s/h7os2bx7hsmp7cl/X2_root_B009_Kangvip.rar?dl=1
B012 root : https://www.dropbox.com/s/3tjywj9q9zadj0a/X2_root_B012_Kangvip.rar?dl=0
2. Check Debug usb mode in mobile and connect to windows computer.
3. Run Run.cmd, while phone is connected to computer. Follow On screen instructions. If successful, it will re-boot the phone and write new boot.img.
4. You will not Kinguser app installed. You are rooted.
Method 2 : Again chinese folks over at vmall forum china.
1. Download and extract rar file.
link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k8levlxjy97tn8/X2 Root Method 2.rar?dl=1
2. Check Debug usb mode in mobile and connect to windows computer.
3. Run 1.Run.Cmd, Follow instructions. Phone will reboot itself. If fail, try again.
4. You will see Chinese SU app installed. It will ask for updating binary automatically. Follow your intuition(chinese language) to click buttons and update binary. Don't worry it will be easy.
5. Reboot
6. Run 2.Run.Cmd, Follow instructions. Phone will reboot itself. If fail, try again.
7. Done. Open camera app, No camera issues.
Method 1 : May cause "Camera app not opening issue"
1. Download zip file, and unzip.
link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnrqncjridi5ipt/X2 Root Method 1.zip?dl=1
2. Check Debug usb mode in mobile and connect to windows computer.
3. Run Run.cmd, while phone is connected to computer. Follow On screen instructions. If successful, it will re-boot the phone and write new boot.img.
4. You will not Kinguser app installed. You are rooted.
Fail
Yo yo... Already we must wait few time...
It succeeded for me. see screenshot.
Did you unlocked bootloader before trying root ?
I have PHONE Unlocked and write error : FAILED (Remote: command not allowed!) File BOOT.img is propably bad...

WORKED! checked via root explorer..in system app...woo hoo!
yes..changed font too now...all working (B012 had bootloader unlocked already when on previous version-was still unlocked as that process supposedly is permanent)
great enjoy!!!
And me still not working! Any idea?
Are you able to open camera app after rooting ?
I yes, therefore still not have root...
If I had known the camera would stop would not have rooted..oh well new problem to fix...
Edit ..at least screenshot and gallery work...apparently it is the root method?...some boards mention that camera failing is due to some specific root method and to flash recovery and boot image to fix problem..something to that effect
Sent from my GEM-703L using XDA Free mobile app
Yes. Re-root with second method, if you can take the pain to re-image to B009 and update then update to B012.
Process :
1. Download B009 from here : http://emuirom123.dbankcloud.com/GEM-703L_EMUI 3.0_android5.0_V100R001C233B009.rar?rid=1276
2. copy dload to sdcard and goto EMUI updater> setting > local update. Select update and image.
3. After 009 installation, update OTA to B012.
4. Goto 1st page of this post and root with new method mentioned.

Then you can use Eliminater74 Rom
Flash Part 1 Dont Reboot
Flash A Part 2 Dont Reboot
Flash SuperSU
Note**If Elimnater74s Rom does happen to delete your recovery.img then you can still flash TWRP by using FlashFire by ChainFire**
Also once you upgrade to MM even if its a ROM you CANNOT revert back to LP.

All I was looking for, thanks, will try this this weekend.
OP, just a suggestion, you may want to indicate that twrp is part of the tot file. It wasn't clear there.
This method certainly looks cleaner than the other method discussed last night. Looks like pure stock rooted which is exactly what I want. I passed out last night after i finished backing up everything which is a good thing now! I don't see anything about unlocking the bootloader in his instructions which is interesting. Basically it's flash the kdz, flash the tot, reboot recovery and flash superSu and you're golden. You would assume that this is necessary but has anyone tried this yet and not had to do that? It would actually be a bonus to not have to do that and avoid the corruption splash screen.

If we are already on stock MM do we need to install the KDZ first? Or is that just to get you to MM?
Great write up by the way, even with a language barrier you made this simple and easy to understand!

after that I just get boot loops, red text boot verification failed.
I enabled OEM unlock in settings, so I don't know what the issue is. I also tried redownloading the files.
Nevermind, had to get into fastboot via Vol down + plug in USB then unlock the bootloader via adb command

is your bootloader unlocked? that was my problem. had to unlock it to get the phone to boot, then i got into TWRP and flashed su. i got it all done with the help of member warp64
Hello Everyone. This is my first post on XDA-Developers, and I want to share my experience on how I transferred my Huawei G750-U10 to Android 4.4.2. For the people not interested in my experience, and are only here for the explanation, scroll down to the tutorial part.
Story part (my experience)
First off, I did some research on how to root the phone, because you will need a rooted phone to install other firmware and custom ROMS. Rooting is essentially unlocking an account on your phone that has access to all the files and programs so that you can have more control over your phone (it is normally disabled for security reasons). Rooting the phone was easy. I used a program called RootGenius, which is just a 1 click-root program. Very handy and easy. After this, the hard part started.
Fyi, the only reason that I started this project is because I wanted to play Pokémon GO w/o buying a new device
From this step I did a full backup of my current ROM and NVRAM and wrote down my IMEI numbers (the G750 has 2 IMEI numbers because it has 2 SIM-Card slots). These numbers are unique for your phone and are used for calling and sending SMS messages. So make sure you write them down (in my phone they were also written down under the battery). The program I used to backup the NVRAM and the IMEI numbers is MTKDroidTools.
After this step, I tried unlocking my bootloader. But it was very stubborn (I was using the latest firmware from Huawei, B119) and I tried doing this with fastboot. Which failed every single time and gave a 0x7000 error when I tried to unlock the bootloader. But I have to say that my bootloader was acting weird from the start anyway. Whenever I used the command:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
It always showed that the bootloader was unlocked, eventhough after I locked it using the command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Which is weird. So I will just include a tutorial on how to unlock the bootloader just in case yours works normal.
So, after realising that my bootloader was not working correctly, and I could not install any recovery mod like CWM or TWRP (or any custom ROM for that matter), I found out that I needed to flash to the chip directly. This was also a huge challange, since i've never done this before and I actually did not know what I was doing. I've changed ROMS on phones a couple of times before, but that always was with a unlocked bootloader and so via the "normal" recovery system way.
For this part, I used XDA user: jacktackles' post a lot. He had some handy information about flashing to the chipset immediately and on what files to use. Since my B119 firmware was locked, I first wanted firmware with an unlocked bootloader. So I flashed some Chinese G750 firmware, that changed my device from a G750-U10 to a G750-T00. The flashing process was not flawless at all, and was the part that took me the most time (10+ hours). This all because I forgot to untick 1 simple box... Oh well, I guess that is how it works (at least I got it to work ). So, after flashing this Chinese firmware, the hardest part was done. And I had access to TWRP Recovery. With this I installed the custom ROM that I wanted, and that is where my adventure ended.
So, to summarize: It is not easy, and not beginner friendly. That is why I wanted to make this post: To make it easier for you guys to do the same and get to catch YOUR Pokémon! (Or just to upgrade to 4.4.2). So let's now go to the tutorial part!
Tutorial part
I did this with a Windows 10 64-bit computer, although I would recommend using Windows 7. You will also need a usb-cable to connect your phone to your computer. Make sure that everytime you install a new ROM that you re-enable USB-debugging. You do this by going to your phone options > About Phone > Click "build number" 7 times > Go back to options > Developers options and tick the USB-Debugging tickbox.
Sorry for not uploading screenshots, but XDA prevents me from using any outside links because I'm a new user (so i'll try to be as precise as possible). This means that also any downloadable files should be retrieved from jacktackles' post (again big thanks to him!). His forum post can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-g750-u10-honor-3x-kitkat-4-4-2-t3038166.
So, go to his post and download the VCOM drivers, MKT Droid Tools, B113 4.2.2 base with unlocked bootloader, Root Genius, and this ROM from another XDA-Developer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62356379#post62356379 (Thanks a lot mate! Awesome upload). The Gaaps link is not needed with my method, and the last link is down. So you will need to get a replacement ROM for that. I used one from NeedRom. Just go to their site, and search for G750-U10 and download a ROM that you want (which is Android 4.4.2 of course). Or download another rom from any other site. The one I used is called: G750-U10 KitKat which was listed on the site on: 07/22/2015 11:35 pm. But you can also choose to download another ROM.
So to sum up, we got 3 ROMS:
1. The Chinese Firmware downgrade to B113
(FILENAME: G750-U10 V100R001C00B113CUSTC432D001_Firmware_Slovakia_Austria_Lithuania_Czech Republic_Latvia_Estonia_Greece_05021NHU)
2. The ROM from pavel22 to change the device to G750-T00
(FILENAME: G750-T00_mod8_265_FlashTool)
3. The ROM that we finally are after
(FILENAME: Huawei G750 U10 Kit Kat 4.9.16)
(In my case of course, not if you downloaded another "final" ROM)
Okay, so after all the files are downloaded and extracted (except for the 3rd ROM), we can start!
1. Rooting
This step is very simple and quick. Plug in your phone to your PC and open Root Genius. Click the big button and your phone should be rooted. If it gives an error, just try again and again until it works. After this restart your phone, and a new app "RootKing" should be installed. If not, the phone is not rooted.
2. MTK Droid Tools (backing up NVRam & IMEI)
Extract MTK Droid Tools from it's ZIP file, and place it in a folder. Now extract the VCOM drivers and install them. These drivers make MTK Droid Tools recognize your device. After installing the drivers, open up the .exe file from MTK and make sure it recognizes your device. If it does not, reboot your PC and try again. After your device is recognized, install the "adbd insecure" app on your device, from the playstore (or download it somewhere else if you do not want to pay). But trust me, it is worth the money. Once adbd is installed, tick both boxes on the app, so that we can connect to your phone with MTK. If done correctly, MTK Droid Tools should now be able to get full access to your device, and a green box will appear in the left bottom of the program.
Now, backup your NVRam and IMEI. You do this by clicking on the "IMEI/NVRAM" button, and clicking backup. To be safe and for ease of access, write down your IMEI's on a paper or notepad file. Now the real fun starts!
2.5 Unlocking the bootloader (you might not have to do this)
Only do this step if you get a BROM error with code 6045 when trying to flash any roms. Here is how you unlock the bootloader:
1. Install ADB drivers. I used a tool made by XDA user Snoop05 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118)
2. Connect your device to your pc
3. Open up a command promt from windows
4. type "adb" and check if it returns a big list of available commands (that you know for sure that adb is installed)
5. Type "fastboot" and check if it returns a big list, for the same reason
6. Now type "adb devices" and check if it gives your device, if not make sure you have correct usb drivers installed for the G750-U10, if not just install HiSuite from Huawei (It comes with the correct drivers), then disconnect your device and type "adb devices" again.
7. Now type "adb reboot-bootloader" and your phone will restart in fastboot mode.
8. Type "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the instructions on your phone screen (they are very small and hard to read).
3. Flashing the Chinese Firmware
In the Chinese firmware folder, there will be 4 sub-folders: SD_Upgrade, Update Tool, USB_DRV, USB_Upgrade.
0. Delete the SD_Upgrade folder (Not needed).
1. Go to USB_DRV and install the .exe file in the: "Driver For servers 2012-11-27" rar file.
2. After this open the Update Tool folder and extract files.
3. Open the flash_tool.exe file, which is used to flash the device (like the name suggests )
4. Once the program is open, click on the "scatter-loading" button. Search for the USB_Upgrade folder, and select the MT6592_Android_scatter.txt file.
5. Turn off your device, remove the battery, wait a few seconds and reinsert the battery back into the device. Do NOT turn on the device.
6. Make sure SP_Flash_Tool is set to "Download only" (can be set by the dropdown box)
7. Click the "Download" button, and connect your device to your PC.
8. Wait, and the progress bar will fill up. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE OR YOU COULD BRICK IT!
9. Success? Great! Restart the phone and progress to the next step!
10. Failure? Untick the Preloader partition and repeat from step 5. Still not working? Also untick USRDATA and try again.
4. Flashing the: "G750-U10 to G750-T00" Firmware
This will be almost the same as part 3.
Extract the "G750-T00_mod8_265_FlashTool" rar file, and:
3. Open the flash_tool.exe file, which is used to flash the device (like the name suggests )
4. Once the program is open, click on the "scatter-loading" button. Search for the USB_Upgrade folder, and select the MT6592_Android_scatter.txt file (make sure that you select the scatter file from the new rar file, and that you are not using the same one as before).
5. Turn off your device, remove the battery, wait a few seconds and reinsert the battery back into the device. Do NOT turn on the device.
6. Make sure SP_Flash_Tool is set to "Download only" (can be set by the dropdown box)
7. Click the "Download" button, and connect your device to your PC.
8. Wait, and the progress bar will fill up. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE OR YOU COULD BRICK IT!
9. Success? Great! Restart the phone and progress to the next step!
10. Failure? Untick the Preloader partition and repeat from step 5. Still not working? Also untick USRDATA and try again.
5. Restoring your NVRam and IMEI
You might need to root your device again, check if need be, by searching for an app called SuperSU or RootKing. If they are not present, root the device again with Root Genius.
You will need to re-install the "adbd" app on your new ROM. If there is no Play Store present, search for a Play Store APK on Google. Once, installed check the 2 tickboxes and re-open MTK Droid Tools.
Click on the "IMEI/NVRAM" button restore your backed-up NVRAM and retype you IMEI codes. Once the restores are done, restart the phone and check if you can call someone. If it works, good job! You can now progress to the very last step! If not, check if you entered the IMEI correct. You probably made a Typo.
6. Installing final ROM
Now that you have installed pavel22's ROM, you have access to a recovery system. So copy the whole 3rd zip file to the root folder of you device. Turn off your device, and turn it on again but this time while holding both volume buttons and the power button until TWRP opens. Click on install, search your zip file and swipe right. When it finishes, do a factory reset from TWRP and then reboot the system normally. You should now have a fully working G750-U10 with Android 4.4.2. Congratulations!
This was my tutorial and personal experience with converting my G750-U10 to Android 4.4.2. It has been a wild ride, and i've reached points that I wanted to throw my device against the wall. I'm now very happy with my (feeling like) new device. I can now finally catch 'em all and become the best PokéMaster ever!
~ NeusAap.
Thank you for the tutorial. I know nothing about flashing.
However, I could follow the instruction until 4. Flashing the: "G750-U10 to G750-T00" Firmware.
The problem is that after I had clicked the "Download" button, and connected my device, the error popped up BROM ERROR : S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND (6045).
Could you please help? Thank you.

That error means that your bootloader must be locked. For me, it was acting weird. They way you want to (try) to unlock the bootloader is as follows:
1. Install ADB drivers. I used a tool made by XDA user Snoop05 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118)
2. Connect your device to your pc
3. Open up a command promt from windows
4. type "adb" and check if it returns a big list of available commands (that you know for sure that adb is installed)
5. Type "fastboot" and check if it returns a big list, for the same reason
6. Now type "adb devices" and check if it gives your device, if not make sure you have correct usb drivers installed for the G750-U10, if not just install HiSuite from Huawei (It comes with the correct drivers), then disconnect your device and type "adb devices" again.
7. Now type "adb reboot-bootloader" and your phone will restart in fastboot mode.
8. Type "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the instructions on your phone screen (they are very small and hard to read).
If your bootloader is now unlocked, you should try to flash again. My phone gave an error at the step 9, but I still followed these 9 steps. So the error I got could also have been a visual programming error, or bug.
I hope this helps! Keep me up to date

Same error. I tried several times with "fastboot oem unlock" but it didn't work: err 0x7000. I could't find anything helpful on the internet.
The odd thing is when i typed "fastboot getinfo-bootloader" I got "(bootloader) unlocked".
I just wanted to be a pokemon trainer too

That was the excact same error I was getting. Also the same deal with the oem get-bootinfo thingy. Are you sure that while flashing you have unticked the "preloader" and the "usrdata" sectors? That is what did it for me honestly

Alright, then skip step 3 and go to step 4. I might have screwed up the step orders (It's hard to remember in what order I did all the steps ) if that works, i'll change the OP. I'm dorry if thats the case.

You mean flashing the G750-T00 fw and then the chinese one? So I have to reinstall the original fw? Cause currently I'm running the chinese

Yes, flash the g750-t00 one, and then the rom that you want if that worked. I think that I might have skipped that whole firmware downgrage rom
Thank you for answering
I tried what you had told me to do, but when I typed "fastboot oem unlock", the phone told me to use Volume Up/Down button. I used "Volume Up" button to unlock bootloader but it failed - err 0x7000 same as Iroh96, I guess. So I typed "fastboot getinfo-bootloader"; however, I got "waiting for device" instead of "(bootloader) unlocked". Then, I tried step 4 but it was still an error 6045. I don't know what to do next.
Why is it so hard to be a pokemon trainer?
hi, i couldn't download the:
"Rooted with twrp recovery inbuild base rom"
because the link is not available.
is this really necessary?
if yes, can you give me another link to download it?
i wanna start follow the steps but first i need all the downloads
Inquiries
I already read and downloaded all files which included in jacktackles thread.. I even read the whole posts
My point of view is, im kinda a noob to root business and afraid to end up by destroying my device especially when I contacted an Egyptian -who had already converted his phone- and he didn't recommend to do this.. so please bare with me.
*first of all is the deal link for "Rooted with twrp recovery inbuild base rom" is this really necessary?
*2nd point is my phones build, its B116. Can I proceed converting my phone or it won't work?
Thanks in advance
FOR THOSE WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER:
I found this post from Pavel22
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55497054&postcount=1768
Good luck! I successfully converted my Huawei G750-U10 to G750-T00. Now, I'm on Kitkat 4.4.2. Thanks for this in-depth tutorial, btw. Was really a great help.
SeñorNeusAap said:
Hello Everyone. This is my first post on XDA-Developers, and I want to share my experience on how I transferred my Huawei G750-U10 to Android 4.4.2. For the people not interested in my experience, and are only here for the explanation, scroll down to the tutorial part.
Story part (my experience)
First off, I did some research on how to root the phone, because you will need a rooted phone to install other firmware and custom ROMS. Rooting is essentially unlocking an account on your phone that has access to all the files and programs so that you can have more control over your phone (it is normally disabled for security reasons). Rooting the phone was easy. I used a program called RootGenius, which is just a 1 click-root program. Very handy and easy. After this, the hard part started.
Fyi, the only reason that I started this project is because I wanted to play Pokémon GO w/o buying a new device
From this step I did a full backup of my current ROM and NVRAM and wrote down my IMEI numbers (the G750 has 2 IMEI numbers because it has 2 SIM-Card slots). These numbers are unique for your phone and are used for calling and sending SMS messages. So make sure you write them down (in my phone they were also written down under the battery). The program I used to backup the NVRAM and the IMEI numbers is MTKDroidTools.
After this step, I tried unlocking my bootloader. But it was very stubborn (I was using the latest firmware from Huawei, B119) and I tried doing this with fastboot. Which failed every single time and gave a 0x7000 error when I tried to unlock the bootloader. But I have to say that my bootloader was acting weird from the start anyway. Whenever I used the command:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
It always showed that the bootloader was unlocked, eventhough after I locked it using the command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Which is weird. So I will just include a tutorial on how to unlock the bootloader just in case yours works normal.
So, after realising that my bootloader was not working correctly, and I could not install any recovery mod like CWM or TWRP (or any custom ROM for that matter), I found out that I needed to flash to the chip directly. This was also a huge challange, since i've never done this before and I actually did not know what I was doing. I've changed ROMS on phones a couple of times before, but that always was with a unlocked bootloader and so via the "normal" recovery system way.
For this part, I used XDA user: jacktackles' post a lot. He had some handy information about flashing to the chipset immediately and on what files to use. Since my B119 firmware was locked, I first wanted firmware with an unlocked bootloader. So I flashed some Chinese G750 firmware, that changed my device from a G750-U10 to a G750-T00. The flashing process was not flawless at all, and was the part that took me the most time (10+ hours). This all because I forgot to untick 1 simple box... Oh well, I guess that is how it works (at least I got it to work ). So, after flashing this Chinese firmware, the hardest part was done. And I had access to TWRP Recovery. With this I installed the custom ROM that I wanted, and that is where my adventure ended.
So, to summarize: It is not easy, and not beginner friendly. That is why I wanted to make this post: To make it easier for you guys to do the same and get to catch YOUR Pokémon! (Or just to upgrade to 4.4.2). So let's now go to the tutorial part!
Tutorial part
I did this with a Windows 10 64-bit computer, although I would recommend using Windows 7. You will also need a usb-cable to connect your phone to your computer. Make sure that everytime you install a new ROM that you re-enable USB-debugging. You do this by going to your phone options > About Phone > Click "build number" 7 times > Go back to options > Developers options and tick the USB-Debugging tickbox.
Sorry for not uploading screenshots, but XDA prevents me from using any outside links because I'm a new user (so i'll try to be as precise as possible). This means that also any downloadable files should be retrieved from jacktackles' post (again big thanks to him!). His forum post can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-g750-u10-honor-3x-kitkat-4-4-2-t3038166.
So, go to his post and download the VCOM drivers, MKT Droid Tools, B113 4.2.2 base with unlocked bootloader, Root Genius, and this ROM from another XDA-Developer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62356379#post62356379 (Thanks a lot mate! Awesome upload). The Gaaps link is not needed with my method, and the last link is down. So you will need to get a replacement ROM for that. I used one from NeedRom. Just go to their site, and search for G750-U10 and download a ROM that you want (which is Android 4.4.2 of course). Or download another rom from any other site. The one I used is called: G750-U10 KitKat which was listed on the site on: 07/22/2015 11:35 pm. But you can also choose to download another ROM.
So to sum up, we got 3 ROMS:
1. The Chinese Firmware downgrade to B113
(FILENAME: G750-U10 V100R001C00B113CUSTC432D001_Firmware_Slovakia_Austria_Lithuania_Czech Republic_Latvia_Estonia_Greece_05021NHU)
2. The ROM from pavel22 to change the device to G750-T00
(FILENAME: G750-T00_mod8_265_FlashTool)
3. The ROM that we finally are after
(FILENAME: Huawei G750 U10 Kit Kat 4.9.16)
(In my case of course, not if you downloaded another "final" ROM)
Okay, so after all the files are downloaded and extracted (except for the 3rd ROM), we can start!
1. Rooting
This step is very simple and quick. Plug in your phone to your PC and open Root Genius. Click the big button and your phone should be rooted. If it gives an error, just try again and again until it works. After this restart your phone, and a new app "RootKing" should be installed. If not, the phone is not rooted.
2. MTK Droid Tools (backing up NVRam & IMEI)
Extract MTK Droid Tools from it's ZIP file, and place it in a folder. Now extract the VCOM drivers and install them. These drivers make MTK Droid Tools recognize your device. After installing the drivers, open up the .exe file from MTK and make sure it recognizes your device. If it does not, reboot your PC and try again. After your device is recognized, install the "adbd insecure" app on your device, from the playstore (or download it somewhere else if you do not want to pay). But trust me, it is worth the money. Once adbd is installed, tick both boxes on the app, so that we can connect to your phone with MTK. If done correctly, MTK Droid Tools should now be able to get full access to your device, and a green box will appear in the left bottom of the program.
Now, backup your NVRam and IMEI. You do this by clicking on the "IMEI/NVRAM" button, and clicking backup. To be safe and for ease of access, write down your IMEI's on a paper or notepad file. Now the real fun starts!
2.5 Unlocking the bootloader (you might not have to do this)
Only do this step if you get a BROM error with code 6045 when trying to flash any roms. Here is how you unlock the bootloader:
1. Install ADB drivers. I used a tool made by XDA user Snoop05 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118)
2. Connect your device to your pc
3. Open up a command promt from windows
4. type "adb" and check if it returns a big list of available commands (that you know for sure that adb is installed)
5. Type "fastboot" and check if it returns a big list, for the same reason
6. Now type "adb devices" and check if it gives your device, if not make sure you have correct usb drivers installed for the G750-U10, if not just install HiSuite from Huawei (It comes with the correct drivers), then disconnect your device and type "adb devices" again.
7. Now type "adb reboot-bootloader" and your phone will restart in fastboot mode.
8. Type "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the instructions on your phone screen (they are very small and hard to read).
3. Flashing the Chinese Firmware
In the Chinese firmware folder, there will be 4 sub-folders: SD_Upgrade, Update Tool, USB_DRV, USB_Upgrade.
0. Delete the SD_Upgrade folder (Not needed).
1. Go to USB_DRV and install the .exe file in the: "Driver For servers 2012-11-27" rar file.
2. After this open the Update Tool folder and extract files.
3. Open the flash_tool.exe file, which is used to flash the device (like the name suggests )
4. Once the program is open, click on the "scatter-loading" button. Search for the USB_Upgrade folder, and select the MT6592_Android_scatter.txt file.
5. Turn off your device, remove the battery, wait a few seconds and reinsert the battery back into the device. Do NOT turn on the device.
6. Make sure SP_Flash_Tool is set to "Download only" (can be set by the dropdown box)
7. Click the "Download" button, and connect your device to your PC.
8. Wait, and the progress bar will fill up. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE OR YOU COULD BRICK IT!
9. Success? Great! Restart the phone and progress to the next step!
10. Failure? Untick the Preloader partition and repeat from step 5. Still not working? Also untick USRDATA and try again.
4. Flashing the: "G750-U10 to G750-T00" Firmware
This will be almost the same as part 3.
Extract the "G750-T00_mod8_265_FlashTool" rar file, and:
3. Open the flash_tool.exe file, which is used to flash the device (like the name suggests )
4. Once the program is open, click on the "scatter-loading" button. Search for the USB_Upgrade folder, and select the MT6592_Android_scatter.txt file (make sure that you select the scatter file from the new rar file, and that you are not using the same one as before).
5. Turn off your device, remove the battery, wait a few seconds and reinsert the battery back into the device. Do NOT turn on the device.
6. Make sure SP_Flash_Tool is set to "Download only" (can be set by the dropdown box)
7. Click the "Download" button, and connect your device to your PC.
8. Wait, and the progress bar will fill up. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE OR YOU COULD BRICK IT!
9. Success? Great! Restart the phone and progress to the next step!
10. Failure? Untick the Preloader partition and repeat from step 5. Still not working? Also untick USRDATA and try again.
5. Restoring your NVRam and IMEI
You might need to root your device again, check if need be, by searching for an app called SuperSU or RootKing. If they are not present, root the device again with Root Genius.
You will need to re-install the "adbd" app on your new ROM. If there is no Play Store present, search for a Play Store APK on Google. Once, installed check the 2 tickboxes and re-open MTK Droid Tools.
Click on the "IMEI/NVRAM" button restore your backed-up NVRAM and retype you IMEI codes. Once the restores are done, restart the phone and check if you can call someone. If it works, good job! You can now progress to the very last step! If not, check if you entered the IMEI correct. You probably made a Typo.
6. Installing final ROM
Now that you have installed pavel22's ROM, you have access to a recovery system. So copy the whole 3rd zip file to the root folder of you device. Turn off your device, and turn it on again but this time while holding both volume buttons and the power button until TWRP opens. Click on install, search your zip file and swipe right. When it finishes, do a factory reset from TWRP and then reboot the system normally. You should now have a fully working G750-U10 with Android 4.4.2. Congratulations!
This was my tutorial and personal experience with converting my G750-U10 to Android 4.4.2. It has been a wild ride, and i've reached points that I wanted to throw my device against the wall. I'm now very happy with my (feeling like) new device. I can now finally catch 'em all and become the best PokéMaster ever!

Yes I'm sorry that I am replying so late.
So noone really knows if it is going to come back, but here's what you can do:
1: Go to this site. Scroll down. Choose your country. Call the hotline. Give them the required info. They will send you the unlock-code via Email. I tried it with the German Number and they send it to me without a problem.
2: Try emailing the support from Honor or Huawei.
3: Try out this Thread. You will have to pay about 4 EUR ($5).

1: Go to this site. Scroll down. Choose your country. Call the hotline. Give them the required info. They will send you the unlock-code via Email. I tried it with the German Number and they send it to me without a problem.
2: Try emailing the support from Honor or Huawei.
3: Try out this Thread. You will have to pay about 4 EUR ($5).

How long did it take for you to get the unlock? I just called and they told me it should take about two weeks

Try calling different phone numbers. Some are willing to give you the unlock and some not. I think they also don't know whats really going on with the site etc. But as of right now the 3 ways mentioned above, are the only ways to get the unlock code. Maybe the Unlock site at https://emui.huawei.com/ will come back some time.
Thank you for writing this tutorial, it's really helpful to have all steps in one place to know what to do.
If you could include how to revert back to the locked bootloader with stock firmware, that can be sent back to Huawei for warranty repairs, that would be great!
Best,
Chris

1. Go this thread and download the Mount-Magisk.zip
2. Move it somewhere to your phone. (If you are unable to boot to system connect phone to PC. Reboot phone to twrp. Open a adb window on the PC. In twrp go to advanced. Start the adb sideload. Press on cancel and then on back. Move the Mount-Magisk.zip into your adb folder on the pc. In the cmd type adb push Mount-Magisk.zip /external_sd or which ever path you like. )
3. Boot to twrp.
4. Go to Install and choose the Mount-Magisk.zip . Flash it. After flash press on back.
5. Go to Advanced -> File Manager. At the very top/root of your system should now be a folder called Magisk. Open the folder. The next folders also should include your Modules. Hold the folder of the module and delete it.
6. Reboot and everything should be fixed.
Let me know if it worked! :good:

So if I unlock bootloader, and then root my device then i won't receive any OTA update anymore... but how can I deal with this situation in order to re-lock when it's OTA time and unlock again when I got it?
ps. No OTA means only no firmware or it means also no security patches ??

In case of Honor devices, to a certain point you are still getting ota updates. To check on the newest updates download the app Huawei Firmware Finder. Then follow the HuRUpdate Thread to update to the newest firmware without unrooting.

Issue Magisk FC , when you open Magisk , go direct on 'About' .
This will keep it open.
Some solutions should be on official section for Magisk

Hi! I'm currently attempting to complete step 2.1, but I've run into a problem.. I've completed all the 1.-steps and added the twrp & kernel img-files to the adb folder, but when I attempt to use cmd fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stf-twrp-zxz-0.3.img, I just get the response waiting for any device, and then nothing else happens. Any suggestions?

For all devices but USA locked Snapdragon
Does anyone know if the Canadian SM-F711W can be rooted? Or is it like the USA models and locked out.
Just wondering if it is better to get a F711B model from the UK since I'm looking to upgrade from my Canadian Galaxy S9+ that can't be rooted.
thank you for the guide! are you sure that HOME_CSC_OMC_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 should be put on USERDATA field? In the past we used to put it in the CSC (since we are not flashing CSC to keep our data)

Ah, stuff had changed. You can now put home_csc or csc to csc field or both of them. You can put nothing to userdata field too
so stick with don't put CSC since want to keep data?

If you unlock your bootloader, you will lost all your data definitely. However, if you just want to update the system without losing root and data, you will need to flash userdata in the CSC field
My bootloader is unlocked as previously I had root it and went back to official firmware. Now I want to have root but without losing current data.. Thanks

Flash the Magisk patched AP file in the AP slot and the HOME CSC in the CSC slot, I wouldn't go flashing anything in the USERDATA slot that sounds like bad advice.

Yes, that is the correct way to re-root
I've got a Canadian device ending in W. Is this possible? I heard USA and Canadian devices were locked the same way.

No, USA and Canadian model’s bootloaders are locked. So, you cannot root your device unfortunately
