How I gained root and CWM recovery on my MT7-L09 with out bootloader unlock.

Let me start off by saying I'm new to the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 but I'm no newcomer to Android. I've been a member of XDA for some years now. Since before IceCream sandwich. I've done my far share to help out this community as it has helped me. I'm originally a themer, but lately been working on a few ROMs. Mostly tweaked based on stock, deodexed, zip aligned, debloated, and build prop mods.
My worth I bring to the table is I'm just BALLSY and experienced enough to try anything and flash just about anything. (With in reason of course). I seem to have acquired a unique talent to be able to unbrick every device that's been laid before me over the passed year or so as well as a few of my own. And have aided in the unbricking of several peoples device that have reached out to me on here.
So with this uncanny ability to be able to unbrick devices I took it upon myself to take a few stabs at gaining root and flashing CWM to my MT7-L09 without unlocking the boot loader. Due to reading post after post of people not getting replies from their emails to Huawei asking for an unlock code.
So now to the point......
I can in NO way take credit for this development nor do I take any responsibility for your actions or decisions to follow this guide unsuccessfully.
1. First I downloaded the 141 update with Supersu built in thats posted here in this forum and the Mate7.zip posted here as well.
Moved the 141 update with SU titled Update.zip to my sdcard/dload.
2. Went to settings/updater clocked MENU at the bottom, then selected LOCAL UPDATE.
3. After it completed (which took about 5 mins) I rebooted installed SuoerSu from the play store and SuperSu Pro. And opened to update binary.
4. Then used a Root Browser to locate the Mate7.zip that I downloaded earlier in the same forum. I then extracted its contents.
5. Download FLASHIFY from the play store. Grant SuperSU permission. And use FLASHIFY to flash the CWMRECOVERY.zip that was also in the Mate7.zip file that you extracted earlier.
6. And this is the most important thing. I don't know how many times I've seen people start modding and flashing then brick and ask for help only to realize "no I didn't make a backup". ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLING A CUSTOM RECOVERY. If you don't then you have no one to blame but yourself when you can restore.
So as stated above I had no hand in developing any of this. Its just a method I used to gain root, update, and gain CWM recovery WITHOUT boot loader unlock.
And here's the copied text from URYLDOR's forum where I found all the essential pieces I used to gain all this. I did not unlock my boot loader though. This method nor any other would work for me so I took a shot in the dark at my method just to get root, CWM, and update as well.
ALL THANKS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO HIM FOR HIS DEVELOPMENT and if my method works for you then youre welcome to thank me for it and it alone but thank @Uryldor too.

Here is the translated guide to unlock bootloader on European model from the link I posted earlier.
I’m not responsible of any damage made to your device.
Download, unzip and run the Huawei product ID generator then select Huawei Y300-0000 in the product model field. Paste your IMEI in the product IMEI field and it should give you a product ID. We will use it later.
Go to http://en.club.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=apply tick the box at the end of the Unlocking Agreement and click next.
Here is what to choose/write in the form:
Product type: Smartphone
Product model: Huawei Y300-0000
Product SN: The SN of your Mate 7
Product IMEI/MEID: The IMEI of your Mate 7
Product ID: The number Product ID Generator gave you.
Enter the captcha and click submit.
Now it should give you your unlock code.
Download mate7.zip from https://mega.co.nz/#!aB8mRATA!nY7VJPUEESxBv5iRZ95vORbcjUQwLoyEyHagPi6RMGI and unzip it.
Install the driver if needed by running Driver\all\DriverSetup.exe
Copy SuperSU-PRO-V2.09.zip to your sd card.
Reboot your Mate in fastboot by holding Volume Down+Power for 10 seconds and plug it.
Unzip Recovery_b119.zip, go to tools, hold Shift and right click then choose “Open command windows here.
Type:
Now your bootloader is unlocked. Don’t close the command windows, now we will install the ClockWorkMod recovery.
In the window type:
You can flash recovery_stock.img with the same command if you want to revert back to the stock recovery.
Now go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Power for 10 seconds.
Then go to:
Install zip>choose zip from /storage/sdcard1> SuperSU-PRO-V2.09.zip and select yes.
Reboot.
Your Mate 7 is now unlocked and rooted!

Thanks you save my life and my mate 7... work fine here

Did you not have to flash using the force update method? I installed 141 via the local update method (came from 137) and SuperSU fails to update the binary.

Yeah but I downloaded the 141 update that has root built in. I then used "FLASHIFY" From the play store to flash the cwm.IMG. I then booted to CWM then flashed the SuperSU.zip that's mentioned in the above thread. Then made a back up in CWM. Rebooted and didn't have to update binary after all that.
Warning. Do not flash CM-11 if you used my method to root and install CWM. I did and now I'm soft bricked. I think it has something to do with the boot loader not being unlocked. I'm stuck at the "Rescue Mode" screen with the error
Error!
Func NO : 12 ( Func_load_iom3)
Error NO : 1
It took cm-11 OK. Just didn't ever boot fully so when I went to reflash the 141 update to restore it or my backup it acted like it took that fine but upon first boot back to stock I ended up stuck in "Rescue Mode" and getting the above code. ADB not recognizing it since its in "Rescue Mode" which is basically fast boot. Some fast boot commands work like Fastboot update ....... And fastboot reboot. But not " fastboot flash " does not. And that's where I think the boot loader being locked is preventing me from fast booting anything to it.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Mmmmm... bad news men... I hope you can bring to life your Huawei mate again... I use you method and works fine... but I don't think flash any Rom... maybe you can try unlock your boot loader or use Huawei hi suite?

i was able to flash the 141 with supersu - but i wasn't able to update it, nor to flash anything with flashify because there are no root-rights - at least the phone still works
i successfully applied steps 1 and 2
3 downwards not usable (update supersu not working, even after reboot)
UPDATE: with the force update it worked

There is no cwmrecovery in the mate7 folder. Are you referring to the other recovery that isn't the stock one?

Yeah it says its a modified version of stock. Its cwm. Even has the logo

Question??? I installed this Rom and everything works fine... but if I delete a system app (Google maps for example)... the app is gone but when the phone reboot the apps appears again??? I use a root browser to delete the app... which should be the problem??? I am the only whit this trouble??

Will this method also work when you;ve updated to lollipop? I cannot get the unlock code from huawei for my mate 7, and do want to root!

Its because you have to also go into data/app and delete it there, and data/data and delete it there too. Then wipe dalvik and cache. Reboot. Done.

Yes, worked for me on 5.1
EDIT: !!DONT FLASH!! on 5.1, phone boots, i can get into recovery, but can't install anything
does anyone have stock recovery for B308 5.1??

Will unlock bootloader on this devices break up some features, as on Xperia devices (like DRM keys and so)?
Thank you!

your warranty, but as far as i can tell it doesn't break any features

Sorry just seeing this message. Yeah it was just released for pre sale yesterday. Huawei does in fact make the Nexus 6p and LG makes the 5x. I'm seriously considering getting the 6p....

Are you sure it works?
It works without unlock bootloader?
The 141, that the Russian guys, only the SuperSU app, but without the superuser binary, which will start during the boot process, it is not worth anything.
So much power could be any other rom.
The stock bootloader available in the boot process, and does not allow only the stock recovery.
Are you sure it works?

[ROOT][new][SM-T53x-SM-T33x] ROOT without a PC on Tab 4 10.1&8.0 . Knox 0x0.

Hi . I present new method to get Root with last build of KingRoot . Main advantage is KNOX 0x0 . And then if you want you can to change him to superSU .
Get Root without a computer, on any version of Android, you can use the latest (4.62 as of this writing) version KingRoot. Complete information here KingRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 . (Read required).
So what we need to do to get Root .
Download the installation program KingRoot v.4.62
Attached below .
Turn on : debugging via USB, boot from unknown sources, and Wi-Fi.
Then install and run the program Kingroot. You make a couple swipe up and click on "Try". Next, the program also checks the possibility of installing Root , and eventually appear at the bottom of the key "TRY TO ROOT". Hit it, and wait patiently for the end of the process. Screenshots are in OP KingRoot thread .
For T337A owners : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64747325&postcount=14 and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/rooted-nk2-att-t377a-t2992639
If there is a need to replace Kinguser to superSU, it is easy to do using the Super-Sume http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/supersu-please-t3110954 . Working version 9.1.9 SuperSU Me-Pro .
For 5.1.1 owners you must to try Super-Sume build 9.2.6 or above . Notice for 9.2.6 build :
SuperSU Me Pro v9.2.6 Patched
What's New
- Please leave a review, I need to hear from you
- Updated SupeSU to v2.52 to support newer Android builds
- Hopefully this will help with Stage 2 hanging for some users
- Kingo root users, on Stage 2 the app might hang, just force close it and run it again..
- Watch for SuperSU to prompt you for root access at re-launch
- Yes you will now be prompted for SuperSU to update binaries, just choose Normal.

Sorry , but this impossible . Knox is changes when are system changes (root , new recovery, new kernel etc)

Fyi, I just ran this on my verizon tab4 10.1 lte (smt537v) and it worked after first reboot, but after running super su me and rebooting, it is stuck in a boot loop. I can still get into download mode so I should be able to flash a factory image through Odin when I have a computer in front of me as long as the computer will recognize the device. So be careful because I followed the directions correctly and ended up screwing things up

I rooted without a computer with kingroot like you said in the op. Verified root, then followed the instructions for super sume and rebooted after updating su binary. And yes it's running 5.1.1. I downloaded the first super sume version you posted in the op before that new version was posted. I'll try to recover the tab when I have access to a computer

Thanks, I may need some help if the computer doesn't recognize the device because of debugging or the bootloop it's in. Before I rebooted, it was in debugging mode but I'm not sure now. I've been playing around with Samsung stuff for a while now (rooting, flashing, some build Prop editing, etc) but I'm no pro. I pretty much just research and follow directions. I'll find out if I need help when I hook it up to the computer. Thanks again

Dont worry . Simply flash your firmware via Odin .

I checked now - this method successfully works on Tab 4.8.0 too !:good:

Thanks for the post. Works with my SM-T530NU. 0x0

Tried this on my galaxy tab 4(sm-t337a) and get a "System software not recognized by AT&T has been found on your tablet..." Error on boot.. Guess i'm pretty much screwed because the firmware files for this tablet have not been released yet
Edit: N/m look for CocaFoca's rooting nk2 thread and flash his boot lp fix to the tablet and it will fix it

For me, updating my phone via smart switch has also done the trick. It's easier then flashing a rom with Odin, though it only works when there is an update available.

Just install smart switch on your computer: http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/
Then install it to your phone from Google play if you don't have it already.
Next, connect your phone to your computer and that's it. The rest will be done for you by smart switch.

Help! I have the same problem aswell.
Galaxy S7 G930FD. Had root installed (Super SU) via the methods posted here with TWRP etc, all working fine. Decided I wanted to see what the AutoMagicDisk was all about. So.. as per instructions elsewhere... in Super SU, clicked "remove root" (I think thats the option) - was prompted something like restore boot image - said yes, restore recovery - chose no.
Phone then restarted and kept getting stuck at the Samsung S7 logo. Logo would stay on screen for about 5 seconds, then blink, then same thing again.
I can boot back into twrp, tried wiping cash/dalvic, same thing.
Currently trying to do a full backup with TWRP
Please help!

Got it working on the note 7 port Rom

I'm on a Note 5 and going to give this a try using my version of TWRP. Will edit this post and report findings!
Able to boot after flashing the first .zip. Always got boot loop previous after flashing TWRP but not flashing root! Thanks for the solution!
Basically the minimum I want is the ability to remove my boot sound and update my hosts file. This lets me do that but otherwise be stock. Good enough. Wish I had xposed, root, but still Android Pay and PGO without reboots but that's ok.

Hello, I would like your help.
First of all, sorry for my poor English.
I installed the Root Switch to use Pokemon Go, but my phone crashed and rebooted while I played. After that, I was not able to activate root again, including the SuperSU app says my cell does not have Root.
Does anyone know how I should proceed? Would redoing root solve my case?
Thank you.

It is a nice phone. You can install TWRP it is tested on this ROM

I got this phone week ago. I use it 5 days, and I like it. One small question - how to remove "NOMU" label from back cover? Any ideas? I afraid to scratch cover.

I got the S30 a few days ago, but it does not pass Google SafetyNet. It fails with the message: 'CTS Profile Match: False'
This means that I can't use Android Pay (despite an image on the Nomu site showing the phone being used with Android Pay) and also my daughter can't play Pokemon Go on it, because that too relies on Google SafetyNet verification to authenticate.
Very disappointing and I feel that I was mislead by the manufacturer.
Is there any way to rectify this situation?
Thanks.

No, I haven't done anything with it. Everything is the same as when I first used it, no root, nothing.
I noticed in the 'About Phone' section that it says 'Custom rom built' at the bottom. A friend of mine said that custom roms will fail Safetynet and not allow me to use Android Pay. Is this correct?

Many phones including Samsung have the same problem as you described.
You can try to install z GP root checker or supersu and check if there is a trace of a root. There is an option remove root.
custom rom can suggest that it is rooted even though it is not.
You can try to apply new ROM if first method will not help

SuperSU says that no root is detected.
Do you have to root the device to apply the new rom?

It sees ROM as modified.
You can flash ROM without root rights
Use SP flash tool, you have it in OP.

I also recently bought 2 Nomu Phones S20 and S30, the units are great and Pokemon Go run perfectly on the S20 but not on the S30, so if you guys can help me to solve this problem I will really appreciate the help.

hi, did you get Android Pay working on it after? I'm having the same problem with my S30 ! Thanks

My screen is just black now after I flashed the new rom, though you can still hear the musical intro for the phone when it is starting up.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I just did that and it is still the same, blank screen.
I can hear the music as it starts up and I can hear the sounds if I press up or down on the volume rocker, so it is like it is loading something but I just cannot see it.

I used the ones from the original post you made.
ROM 20160930_s12v55_mle-3m_nomu for S30 and SP Flash Tool 1552.
Also, by the screen being blank I mean that I can see that it is turned on, but it is like an illuminated black.
