(about root in all posts they say first i have to downgrade sw and root and upgrade to 11.0.A.5.5 and root again,but i didint downgrade software and i got unlocked bootloader - dont now how... via unlockroot )
Did backup with rom menager clockwork mode, fastboot and recovery boot tested and working, superuser working...
So, i want to flash for the first time my android with Cyanogen 10.1 if its posible without bricking it
Questions are :
1. Does my phone meet requirements for Cyanogen 10.1 ? ( thera are tutorials but didnt finde 'Miro' just s,t,z,dual...cant get whats main for custom rooms : android ver. kernel, buld numbe etc...)
2. Will my phone get network (brand) lock after flahing it ? ( After debranding in store they told me if i update/modde my phone it'll get brand lock again )
3. Will i lose my language pkg or not and if i do can i import it ? ( I would like to keep Serbian lang. even im only usinig English )
So im sorry for qustions but 4 days im reading different step buy step tutrials and flash this reboot wipe dont wipe data..... and im to lost what/how to do....
I downloaded Cyanogen 10.1, instal flash tool, and i need someone to confirm me how to do flashing and not bricking phone and then trying to restoring it to stock room

1) You cannot flash CM10.1 on your device, only CM10. We will NOT get an official port of the ROM from the FXP team.
2) I do not know, once it is unlocked to any network you shouldn't have a lock put in place again. However I am unsure of this.
3) You shouldn't lose any language support on your device as many language packs are installed with the base of the ROM as most are built from stock firmware upwards.
I would give more detailed instructions but I need to go within the next 5 mins so I can't. I will edit my post tomorrow if nobody beats me to it.
Hi,
I got the Huawei Ascend G525 as a gift from brother in law living in china, and now I am in a bind that it does not have the google play, i installed it using the apk file for google play but the whole UI is in Chinese settings , and the usual Chinese OS version issues for english user >_< , I managed to find and download German firmware (sorry forgot the link to post where it was) and tried to install it but the update failed. Further research led me to believe that i have to unlock its bootloader and I tried to use the method on huawei site (using adb toolkit) but for that i need bootloader unlock key and the site options to get key from huawei does not have G525 in list, so I am back to square one, Please let me know how i can unlock bootloader of Huawei G525 and if there is a new firmware I can use or something like flashing phone rom with Odin (I did flash my galaxy tab 2.0 with odin with new UK firmware)
The Android version is 4.1.2
and firmware file name, i download is Ascend_G525_firmwareú G525-U00,Android 4.1,Emotion_UI,G525-U00 V100R001C00B188,West_Europe
my mobile current firmware is G525-U00V100R001CHNC00B180
Please any help will be useful.

If you tell me the block name of recovery I will make backup for you
Until I´m not 100% sure which block it is I will not replace stock recovery against cwmr.

I don't know how to determine the block name my handset's recovery... how do I know that? Thanks...
my fear is, that we both have problems for flashing.
The unlock code for the bootloader you can get from huawei directly.
I tried this on my European version, but this will not be offered from Huwaei ( only chinese versions).
So I´m still not able to flash chinese Rom (b191) or any other Miui or Lewa Rom ,...
I also confirm the lack of bootloader unlock request in Huawei's website.
What did you do to get the bootloader unlock code? Did you send an e-mail? Where?
I also find myself in a dead end, because I try to get a backup of the current ROM in the phone, connect succesfully through adb (downloaded drivers from here ) however following instructions from here:I can not connect the device with "fastboot devices" (i get to Huawei Device devices in windows device manager with yellow exlamation mark and the phone has been booted in a pink background, i think this is the bootloader mode because I have done it with all three buttons, power, vol+, vol-). Do you think this is a locked bootloader problem?
Late reply and updates
Hi,
Sorry for not following post, (i think i accidently turned off the option to inform me of new replies via email)
I tried emailing to both the german support email and the chinese, chinese support email gave me no reply even though i mailed them 3 times, but german one did and said that my phone is from china so they can't provide any support,
I tried to talk to them on facebook and local Huawei support center, facebook, no help, though someone else was willing to him and thanks to him poiting to way how to install english super use i am able to see almost all system messages in english, and as for the local support, since its not launched here they said they can't do anything,
The problem at hand was that it was not launched any where else, so no english version firmware i could find,
I almost bricked phone when i played with the "sorry forgot name" sytem file where it said to include the contact mismatch to 10 so that i can see the contacts name in the messages (its from china so least match is 11) and thanks to my luck i was able to upgrade firmware to b191 from b180 on 3rd try and since then i am scary cat to do anything with phone,
and now i read that its being launched in UAE, so looking forward if they put new firmware download on english website, (hoping they dont wait for an update to put it on website and put the current stock one)
please update me if you can get your hands on new english firmware , ty

I send a short Email to [email protected] asking for the unlock code on saturday 7-12-2013.
Dear sir/madam,
I tried applying for a bootloader unlock code at unlock url which I cannot post because of XDA forum restricting me, but my device (Ascend G525) was not listed. I supply the data via this mail in the hope to get a bootloader unlock code via this way instead.
Product Model: Huawei Ascend G525
SN: ****************
IMEI: ****************

I hope to hear from you soon.

That's the good news, the bad news is that as far as connecting to my device I got as far as you got. As I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 64bit I added the usb rule needed for Huawei devices. It shows up when I execute "./adb devices". When I boot into hboot/fastboot mode by pressing the volume buttons and the on button I get the pink screen, but it does not show up when I run "./fastboot devices".
Anybody who knows how I can get fastboot to connect to a Huawei G525?
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------
My bad, I thought I was starting the device in fastboot mode, but the pink screen denotes the download mode. I looked up the instructions to start the device into fastboot mode at sigmakey[dot]com. The complete list of steps that I followed were
Remove battery for >= 10 seconds
replace the battery
hold volume down and power button
when the screen locks on the Huawei logo you're in fastboot mode
connect the device via USB
run:" fastboot devices" and see if it's listed
run: "fastboot oem unlock [unlockcode]"
HUAWEI ASCEND G525 bootlock?
Got my phone 6 days ago. Rooted it.
Third day I messed it up by deleting languages (stupid, but selected them with a cleaner & removal tool).
I formatted a micro sd card, downloaded original firmware, started up in the installation mode but while busy unpacking, "installation failed".
Is it because of a bootlock? or is it something else.
Is there an boot unlocker for download for the G525? The phone doesn't start up, so I can only work out of the boot menu or sd card.
All tips are welcome.
try again

Where did you buy your phone from? Mine is from china , the bootunlocker is required to install custom rom (what i came to conclusion, from forums etc, corrsct me if it isn't the case), or rom other than compatible one, my has CHN in its firmware name and the firmware from chinese sites can only be used to update chinese firmware, i wanted to install the german firware for google play(now i achv through apk) and msg and phone number string match(Still found no soluton for it).
Now coming to your issue, i accidently deleted a system file too and phone won't start, so i downloaded firmware , copied the update folder as instructed in the pdf with it, but installation failed, being desperate, i tried again and again , and it would fail some point during extraction, but then on 6th or 7th attempt the file went threw, so either take your phone to support center best solution i would say, or try installing it a few times, try using a different sd card with better speed, but sorry cannot give a conclusive solution. ( Haven't messed with phone again )

Thanks!!!
I live - and bought mine - in Holland (the Netherlands).
I downloaded firmware too but when in download mode and with SD card in, the update stops ("Update failed").
How did your rom/firmware come trough? By updating from sd card or by downloading update directly from sd card?
Which firmware or rom did you download?
Ask Huawei support center
Hi,
First is there no support center for Huawei in your area ? In my case i got the mobile as gift from china and since this model G525 is not launched in my country, the support center refused on any support regarding firmware, so i went to chinese site http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/ and got the firmware from there, my previous firmware was B180 and then i updated it to B191 (currently available on china site).
Second where did you download the firmware from ? Because when i was trying to install the firmware from europe or us etc, (main reason the contacts least string match issue) , i could not find any firmware file on those sites, i went through all the sites, I even emailed german support , and they refused that they don't have any firmware, duh, because my mobile IMEI was not in their data base , (no ****), i do manage to find one posted by someone while going throw forums, but it failed to install, which lead me to believe i need bootunlock code
As for the update is concerned, I am not sure what are you asking about updating from SD card or downloading from SD card ? The only method Huawei G525 have is to download file to computer, extract it, put the update folder in the formatted sd card and then start the phone with volume keys so it start downloading file from sd card and then update firmware. Even the option from the settings to update firmware requires the same, just that , phone start itself in download mode and start the same process.
Like i said i don't have a specific answer why the update is failing, but most probably because the firmware you are trying to install does not support the current you have, I don't know why the hell they would put a restriction in update package to lock down it with previous firmware region. Since you might not know which firmware you previously had the new one might not support the old version, like B191 requires to have B182 or higher version, (wtf) mine came with B180, and there is no B182 or higher available for download, so it could be your phone has old firmware, not supported by current, so all i can say is better take it to customer service, and ask them for help,
and the method i mentioned is was just hit and trial, i was just desperate, so i kept phone pushing to update it.
Let me know if you find any better solution or how to install other firmwares

Could you clarify which paths did not work?
Don't really want to brick my phone.
Thanks!
PS.: How is Resurrection?
Hey. You cant Brick your Phone. Open the Script and enter every command manually so you can see the errors live and you can change the paths (try the paths with cmd)
If the paths are wrong only the upload of one or more files will fail.
I dont know the paths now, but i thought correct path was began with /sdcard/yourpath. You will See it when you upload one file because you get an access denied.
The links are dead from 'baidu.com'
I need the script. Can someone provide it?
Hi,
I am a little new and don't really know about this subject but :
I purchased a new phone : a Gome K1.
This is not tablet but phone. This is a new brandt. This a MTK (MT6757).
For the story, it came to me with chinese ROM, all menus in chinese
I asked to the seller to give me a ROM with playstore and french. They done it.
I flashed their new ROM with a proprietary flash tool. Now I have a android 6 ROM with Playstore, french menus. Well !
But I'd like to know if there is a way to root it, and install a TWRP :
The ROM came with bootloader locked and no recovery. It is entirely blocked.
No way to unlock bootloader via the general way (fastboot oem unlock --> unknown command)
I read some articles that deal with spflashtool and porting TWRP, but I'm new to this and I don't think I will be able to make all these steps correctly to flash a TWRP ...
Does someone has an idea ?
Is my post on the good topic ?
Up, does someone have an idea of how to root it ?
Hello,i also have a Gome K1 phone and I am also interested at rooting it.
There is an ' OEM unlocking option' under the developers option in the settings, have you tried that yet?
If you managed to import twrp and rooted the phone can you pls send here the steps, Thanks
Hello, happy to not be alone with this phone ...
Yes I tried everything, after enabling unknown source, OEM unlocking and USB Debugging developer options :
- All root apks
- all existing root kits using ADB
- Method with a linux distro to access Phone filesystem as root ( cannot see my phone ... )
Now I'm trying to use SP flashtool last version, but even that cannot correctly access the phone to Readback my recovery : there is BROM error, so I think that phone is not compatible with the phone (seen on a forum ...)
So if someone has an idea, he is welcome

When I contacted them, they send me a non rooted custom ROM which embed Google Apps and All language, AND another flash tool.
This flash tool seems to be based on SP flash tool. It seems to have restrictions (no readback ability ...).
I'm not able to backup anything with this tool or with SP flash tool.
Whis spflashtool, when clicking ReadBack, I power off my phone, and plug USB cable.
It begins the process but I immediatly encounter a BROM error :
ERROR: status_brom_cmd_send_da_fail (0xC0060003)
I read a post which indicate to try to plug usb cable when pressing Power plus Volume Up, but I don't think it can work, because I know that their tool works without that operation.
So now I'm still stuck here. Does someone have an idea ?
Hi
On the Russian forum 4pda, the topic GOME K1 we are also discussing and trying to solve the problem of a locked bootloader. So far no results. ROOT is also not yet possible to get.
I've also ported twrp for GOME K1, but there's no point in installing it until the bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise we will get a brick.
Hi
In Developer options there is a setting to unlock bootloader, it's the third toggle down.
Hope this helps.

Hello vsxby,
I was successful in flashing custom ROM that vendor uploaded for me.
So I thing I can flash just the recovery with their tool. I'm not an expert, so I'm just a little affraid to follow a guide to port a TRWP for Gome K1 and try to flash it, since it can brick the phone.
If you want, I can't send you a copy of their tool they sent to me (SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe) ...

Thank you, but I already have this tool. As I wrote before flashing TWRP we need to unlock the bootloader. While this is not impossible to do. But one of our users on 4pda is going to ask the manufacturer to unlock bootloader. In case of success, I will inform you.
If you want to experiment and flash TWRP with a locked bootloader, I can give you the TWRP I made, but I warn you, it's not safe.
Bro,Can you upload the firmware and tools to google drive or something like? It will be very helpful for dealing with this mediatek replica phone(aus6757_66_m),i got some possible factory test MTK AOSP,but the link expires ：（

We were unable to contact the manufacturer and the moderators of the official GOME forum do not have this information. At the moment, there are no solutions to this issue.

could you please post here what is the procedure you took to flash the rom. Seller sent me with multi language rom. i want to downgrade the rom to its original one. I used your tools in the windows 10 lap. and also in the windows 7 lap but it was useless. I am going to try the procedure in the windows 8.1 lap. can you tell me exactly how you flash your phone with that tool ?

We were unable to contact the manufacturer and the moderators of the official GOME forum do not have this information. At the moment, there are no solutions to this issue.

found the answer on 4pda, can't post link.
Greetings, everyone! Usually I have good knowledge regarding rooting, custom recovery and flashing a new system. But this time I tried to downgrade the Samsung Xcover 3 of my friend and flashed the Android 4.4.4 sboot.bin with Heimdall - unfortunately I forgot to tick the "no reboot" option. The moment it rebootet, I know do not have any access to the phone anymore.
When trying to bring it into download mode, it vibrates, but nothing else. Neither Linux nor Windows recognizes the phone. Is it dead? How to gain access so that I can flash the correct sboot.bin? Any tricks you recommend?

If you can find a "debrick.img" or "debrick.bin" for your specific model number, there is a method that uses your external sdcard to boot the phone then repair it while it is booted.
But, first, you need to find a debrick.img or debrick.bin for your specific model number. If you can't find a copy for your model number, you can try finding another member here that has a rooted Xcover 3 with the exact same firmware as your device had and have them pull a copy of debrick.img or debrick.bin from their device then upload it for you to download.
If you can't find that, the only other options are to send the device to a repair shop for JTAG service or replace the motherboard.

I did not even expect that someone would answer here. THANK YOU SO MUCH, @Droidriven! That gives me hope to rescue the phone instead of having o buy a new one for my friend. Here is what I actually did wrong: In my attempt to "downgrade" from 5.1.1 Lollipop to Android 4.4.4 Kitkat (downgrade needed to be able to root the phone) I flashed the sboot.bin of Android 4.4.4 Kitkat with Heimdall and forgot to tick the NO REBOOT option.
That being said, the phone now only vibrates when using my JTAG (yes, I actually have one and the phone vibrates, but does not boot into download mode and is not recognized by neither Windows nor Linux). So, how to build this unbrick image? Could you help me with that? Both firmwares are to be found here:

As for the creation of the unbrick image, do you recommend this tool? I currently have no Windows at hand but can provide you with the original PIT file if you can run this tool to create it:

Furthermore, I actually wanted to install LineageOS on that phone. Not sure if you have a Google-foo so strong that you are able to find a working one for me?
Thanks a lot for your help. May god return your efforts in helping me!

Sorry, I'm just now seeing this. Did you ever make any progress? Yes, I think there are some reliable methods to create debrick.img/debrick.bin files, there is one such method posted here at XDA in a random post in a thread here but I can't remember exactly what thread it is.
