This looks really rough, but apparantly there is a boot.img, then other cracking tools can be used.
I'd love to try it, but... well... my chinese is limited to google-translate.
The URL won't post so this is a big hint:

I think I got it root on g302d u8812d

Currently on that URL is a approx 14 MB rar file download, I _think_ I just got it sorted!
I don't have time now to make this pretty, but some others who want to hack. add links, etc feel free to work with this...
in fact I dont know if all these steps are required.
General Broad steps (ymmv, you are doing this to your own dang phone, dont blame me for bricks viruses or earthquakes etc, etc/ etc).
on your computer, uninstall adb, pdanet and any other tools that use the adb drivers and dlls, reboot as needed.
install the mt6575 drivers (I forgot whether I downloaded these or if they were part of the 14 meg file) reboot as needed
power down phone.
remove battery from phone, don't plug into computer.
launch flash_tool.exe
load the included scatterloading file MT6575...emmc.txt
press the download button
plug in phone to usb
put battery in phone
watch the blinkinlights for a few seconds, wait for the big green O
then I disconnect phone and ensure power down.
install SDK
power up phone and plug in
test adb (adb shell)
kill adb server
download and install superoneclick
download extra superoneclick exploits
launch superoneclick
click the big root button.
Test (you can use something like rom manager)
Now people should be able to try to install various CWMs.
I haven't gotten that far yet.

CWM for u8812d g302d ?

Okay I may have found a working CWM clockworkmod recovery, but I don't have access to the chinese site, so others out there may be able to download it and try it out.

installed gapps 20110828 (via mobileuncle recovery) and I now have a market that doesn't force-close!
still getting "partners" to force close, but a lot of other stuff is working.

Great work!!! I'll try this on my phone or wait until is working?
Are the recovery and rom in chinese?
Thank a lot for testing.

working well

It is working very well.
No need for you or anyone to wait.
Just please know what you are doing (do you have basic understanding of recovery mode, roms, factory mode, and the dangers) in other words, if this is your first time doing this on a phone.. ask someone who knows what they are doing for help because I am not able to put together a documented procedure, but the findings above should allow someone else to do that. Additionally, I have no idea of the legality or safety of the software at URLs above.
conceptually this is 4 steps
1) flash boot.img that will allow cracking
2) crack to get SU installed
3) install Mobile Uncle Recovery mode and app
4) install gapps.
The MobileUncle recovery mode is Chinese, But the mobileuncle app is kinda like rom manager, it lets you set up what happens at next boot so you don't need to read the chinese in recovery text mode.
The patched rom is working for me in English with root, no detectable problem except FC on google partners (and I can't tell if that actually does anything). Remember this is not a new rom, just a patch to the huawei rom that allows a root crack.
There are about 4 chinese apps that I am afraid to uninstall..
one appears to be a chinese app store too, kinda fun to browse
gapps must be flashed with mobileuncle recovery (don't just unzip them)
US google play store is working.
I am fully migrated to this phone now and use it for daily work.
Good luck, and remember that this is why you got an android instead of a i-Thing.

Thanks thanks again. I'll try it and don't worry this is not the first time to modify a mobile. If it is all ok i posted here.

Working u8812d
Ok... It was successfully working on my phone. I have root and change recovery and then installing gapps. Almost of the apps is working of the play store. Thanks again and hope there is a release of ICS or JB rom for our phones.
See ya!!!:good:

Thanks for the steps though the problems are still coming thick and fast, I have a new U8812D from China, no China unicom splashscreen but lots of 'bloatware' still. I've been trying for days to root this thing and nothing's working.
I'm pretty sure I need root access becasue the phone is currently preventing me from adding my Gmail account and using the google play market and apps, other bits and pieces like assigning incoming call number to a contact are supposedly fixed by getting the google thing right. The phone is good but I'm missing alot of functionality.
If the above description sounds like rooting is not the solution, please let me know and point me to the right forum, if rooting is the obviously the only way out, I'm hoping to clarify a few step in the above walkthrough to help me and others.
1. I cant install the mt6575 MediaTek drivers, installing directly gives error 'driver cannot be installed this way' there is no COM-LPT port in my device manager to attach it to as a manually locate driver, I can add a COM port with add remove hardware but I have Code 10 error, device cannot start and doesnt seem to accept the mt6575 driver as an update even when forced to it with locate new driver, apparently this is no problem from other forums, still bugging me. Maybe I havent the right files? how do i get COM-LPT ports to show up properly?
2. when 'install m6575 drivers ... reboot' is the phone plugged in? to what device do we install the drivers or should it be automatic?
3. launch flash tool, i have located two versions of the MT6575...emmc.txt file, one delivers error, block count fail and has no files paths for the item in the main table, the other refuses to open, giving error, incorrect scatter file format. The latter has considerably more data in it when read in notepad.
4. Becasue of these errors, SP flash tool does not download to phone. all subsequent steps fail.
Assuming the initial flashing steps are successful, I must to use SuperOneClick to root the phone, where do I find the extra exploits needed? or are tehy automoatically sourced by SOC? Succeeding the root access step, I assume i can freeze the apps causing problems to my google sign in or delete them. Or could I please be directed to the ATTPlain rom mentionned by JohnnyParanoia in 'Almost All Huawei Stock Roms (Firmware) - Updated 28/06/12' board.
Since so many of the resource files I've trawled through are bung, anyone who can point me to reliable/tested files known to work with the U8812d I'd greatly appreciate in on top of the great appreciation I already have for your patience with a Noob. I located the 14Mbit .rar file mentioned above but not all parts worked, had to dl the different programs individually and some files had to hunt down form fileshare sites.
Lastly, i am using an HP laptop, Windows 7 64-bit, Thanks in advance.

Telsda A198

I bought a chinese phone Telsda/TSD A198 . The firmware reports it as an MT6589 CPU but the computer reports it as a spreadtrum phone. I need to root the phone to get rid of some apps on this to make space. Also without rooting is there anyway to backup the stock rom on my phone before I mess up to root? I have seen a method on XDA but that requires root. Now I am trying to backup to get to rooot !!!! Also I have also researched researchdownload but without a ROM backup and not knowing which CPU model to flash its impossible to it right. I also looked into mtkdroidtools and it tells me "unstructured rom backup not possible" , so I am guessing its a fake MTK CPU that is being reported by tweaking the firmware.
This is the link to the phone
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...3-MTK6589-4-0-INCH-smart-phone/879312434.html
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I also interesting for this phone, but I have some doubt about the specs of this item. If you could clear some important properties for me, such as:
Does it have GPS functionality?
If not, this indirectly indicates that CPU is not MTK-based (likely Spreadtrum SC6820 if 3G functionality is absent or Spreadtrum SC8810 if it is present)
What is the real width of the phone?
It seems to me it is about 64mm, not 60.8 (as described in seller specs)
What is the RAM size?
Does it have 256 or 512MB RAM?
What is the real Andriod version?
Does it have Android 2.3.X disguised as Android 4.X.X?
I will be grateful for your response.

Ok, first my honest suggestion dont buy this phone it has pathetic performance. For the same price go for a real MTK6577 dual core. ANyways below are the answers to your question
> Real CPU frequence seems to be 1GHZ
>Mali 300 GPU
>no 3G
>no GPS
>256MB RAM and 256 MB ROM
>I am not sure if its real JB and I cant figure it out but it says JB 4.2.1 and the kernel is 2.6.35.7 and hence I guess its a fake JB. The funny part is under baseband version it says "MT6589 1.5GHZ quad cores" !!!! offcourse it means the firmware/build.prop has been tweaked and is reporting false values. Also when I ran Antutu it gives a score of about 3500 which is useless when compared to what is required to run games ..etc. I hope I have helped.

Thank you much - you helped me to avoid hasty purchase. And good luck in rooting your device.

Finally I was able to stitch a ROM, using bits and pieces from different sources and its perfectly working. I only need to build a CWM recovery image based on the recovery image I have attached. Can someone help me do that? so that I can do a nandroid and ump my rom in case someone needs to recover their telsda A198

I need help. I have the same smartphone. But I need it to flash. Do You have the firmware for it?

I have stitched firmware which works perfectly and is rooted. I also got google play store installed. Its not original firmware, the original one is supposedly 4.2.1 (I think its fake), what I have got installed is 4.0.4 if that works for you let me know.

hel me please!!!

there say that you put android 4.0 not work quite right? ... greetings from chile

Braindia hello...I have a bad microphone works, but only when you call. So there are 2 options: trash or firmware.I need a firmware that works correctly works. So 4.2.1 or 4.0.4 for me is not important. I am new in the firmware of the phone (did the firmware only the tablet). Thankful for step by step instructions from the specialist. While I couldn't even get the root.:silly:

ok looks like lot of people have issues with this phone. Its a junk phone, all fake stuff on it. ANyways I will upload the firmware images and then you guys can use those to flash on your phones. Below is what I have done
1> Patched a 4.0.4 ROM which works perfectly
2>Removed useless preinstalled apps
3>rooted
4>Perfectly working dual sim,GPRS,WIFI,Camera,Camcorder .,..etc etc
4>The issue is with the IMEI, because of the way its stored you guys will need to use your own NV files.
The only thing I havent been able to do is get a working CWM, but you dont need it as you can flash the firmware images using researchdownload.

Braindia, you even pierced smartphone using researchdownload? Maybe I need a USB driver or researchdownload? What have you used? I can't understand how to enable the firmware on this phone: food & + -test menu; food & - picture with your phone and the triangle, but windows does not find the device driver.

Here you go, you flash at your own risk. If there are bricks/issues you are responsible for your own device.(Standard disclaimer) . I have uploaded all the files except system and NV, system image is kind of big and I am trying to figure it out where to upload it.. You dont need to worry about NV unless you completely erased the flash(never erase the complete flash or format it). If you havent done so then you are good to go.
Please google to find researchdownload and use it to flash the attached files. I wont be able to write the tutorial on using researchdownload so google is your friend.
I have also uploaded the gapps zip which will get you up and running with google play store. You need root to copy these files directly into system/apps folder.
I will be able to upload a system file which works, not the patched one with google play store, root ...etc etc . You do that on your own, I will help you do it.
Thanks !

Tutorial researchdownload not needed. I installed the USB driver and researchdownload. When the phone is loaded, I can connect it to your computer . BUT when I try to flash the phone with the help of researchdownload I need to enable firmware on your phone. In the mode of firmware (if I understand it correctly) phone is not detected by Windows. I wanted to know what USB drivers and version researchdownload used you, and as included mode firmware on your phone.
I have the original firmware.

your phone is probably not detected due to 2 reasons
1> windows disabling non signed driver.. if thats the issue while you start the PC keep hitting F8 you will be shown various options
Select disable windows driver signature enforcement
2> Second reason is you need to add an entry in adb_usb.ini file I think its 0x1782 which is for SPRD enumerator. There are tons of links for this one of which is

Possible causes checked. NO 1 and NO 2 Everything correctly, but still not working.To go the other way, I've tried about 10 of options to get the root, but the result is zero. You got root?

getting root is simple, flash a CWM I have attached one, please note this does not work but it works enough to get you root. follow the below steps
1> Flash attached recovery
2> boot into recovery ... this will not show the normal CWM options but dont worry just connect to your pc
3> run ADB shell, you will be automatically in root mode
4> perform mount /system and then exit shell
5> push su binary & busybox directly to /system/bin (from the command prompt using adb push)
6>change permissions for su & busybox to make them runnable
7> exit from the shell and reboot
8> do adb install superuser.apk(optional this can be done later)
thats it you have su, and then you can sideload the superuser apk or you can do step 8 as above. Once you have rebooted and verified that you indeed have superuser you can flash the stock recovery back on the phone.
Note note note : The CWM recovery image is only for you to get root and it doesnt work and doesnt show the normal CWM options... you have been warned. You should flash your old recovery/stock recovery after you have achieved root.
Also can you give me the stock recovery image so that I can build a working CWM out of it. I overwrote mine and now stuck with another recovery which works but is not for this phone.
Thanks

1> Flash attached recovery

Hmm... I am not sure what is the issue please try attached drivers and pray that they work . use either 64bit or 32bit depending on your OS.
Also you said you have the firmware can you upload it ? I can do something more with the stock/original firmware, so please upload it

I installed a different driver for windowsXP and windows7, but the result is the same. Too much time for 54$. I buried this smartphone. So good luck to you on the path to custom firmware. One month firmware will be available my personal archive: http://files.mail.ru/A9FBE04381094135959559784E5F49A4

Custom ROM for THL W1+

I hope I've posted this in the correct place. Apologies if not... I'm sure a moderator will move to correct place.
Hi everyone,
I’d like to share my THL W1+ custom ROM with you all.
It is based on a CJ ROM which I believe is the international ROM version.
Natively, the CJ ROM had some benefits over the stock standard Chinese THL ROM such as not showing Chinese cities in call log etc.
I cant remember all of the tweaks I've made in this custom ROM as it was "cooked" over an extended period of time but here are a few…
Google Apps working and upgraded
Default IME keyboard upgraded
Removed Chinese Apps and input methods
Removed factory reset option from settings to prevent reboot loop (use custom recovery to reset)
Improved screen brightness
updater-script changes for Wi-Fi fix
Included Facebook, Skype and Flash in DATA partition (can be uninstalled)
build.prop changes: font size, English language is default, time zone default to Pacific/Auckland
Download and use at your own risk. No responsibility is taken for damage done to your phone through using this ROM.
I’ve included in this download package everything I can think of that you'll need including the CJ ROM, a version of SP Flash Tool, the update.zip file, zip files to root and unroot the phone plus ADB and VCOM drivers.
The all-inclusive package can be downloaded from here…
http://www.mediafire.com/?p08zo4jwypz23
It is split into four compressed files. Use software such as 7zip to uncompress.
#1 First, flash your phone via SP Flash Tools with the stock CJ ROM. I’ve added a custom recovery to the ROM which you will require later to install the update.zip file.
If you do not know how to flash your phone here is a great tutorial... http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
#2 Once you have successfully flashed the CJ ROM you need to install the update.
Copy the update.zip file to your microSD card or power on the phone and copy to internal storage.
Remove your battery and reinsert it.
Hold down the Vol+ button and power on. You should boot into recovery mode.
Now using your volume keys you can select the update from zip option (power button is select). Choose the update.zip file you copied to your phone and confirm.
Wait for the update to complete and then reboot.
That should be it!
Hope you enjoy this ROM.

Invalid imei
I install your rom and is perfect. i manage to unbrick my W1+ with this rom. only the imei is invalid and i cant restore them. i see a folder named imei drivers (something like that ) in your pachage. how i can use them to restore the imei. i tried meny tutorials from the net but still nothing
thanks for your time
Aris

Hello, it is good to hear people are using the ROM.
I think the folder you are referring to is one inside the DRIVERS folder and simply contains CDC driver files.
I've not had any IMEI issues on the W1+ so can't speak from experience but I would suggest trying the following...
ROOT the phone using the root update.zip in the package.
Download MTK Droid Tool... http://www.mediafire.com/download/a41a0u73dc7rw2h/MtkDroidTools_v248.zip
MTK Droid Tool has a Write IMEI function.
Once your phone is rooted make sure USB debugging is turned on (Settings > Developer options).
Failing that, another option would be to download Mobile Uncle Tools from Google Play. Again, this requires root privileges and you'll need to connect to a Wifi network as your SIM's are not working. I understand this app also has IMEI tools.
Hopefully this works for you.

MTK Droid Tool has a Write IMEI function.
Once your phone is rooted make sure USB debugging is turned on (Settings > Developer options).
Failing that, another option would be to download Mobile Uncle Tools from Google Play. Again, this requires root privileges and you'll need to connect to a Wifi network as your SIM's are not working. I understand this app also has IMEI tools.
Hopefully this works for you.

your rom is smooth. hope to upgrade it to android 4.2 .....

Thanks for the update and info. Glad you got it sorted.
No plans to release another ROM for this phone as it is no longer available.

Trojan
Had any one else had a warning about a Trojan hidden in device management 1.0
Have re flashed more than once trying to deal with chrome err_connection_refused problem, every time the Trojan is back, you have to use titanium to get rid of it.

Tablet is brick!
I have a P98 3G A9H8. I used the flash tool here to install the ROM using the "download" option & I got an error that the ROM is not there. I tried to start my tablet immediately & I could not.
Then I chose the "firmware update" option and it came back with a list of errors (3 errors). I tried to power up the tablet again- again fail- nothing happens at all. Not even attempt at rcovery.
In other words, by flashing this rom, my tablet is not BRICK.
Does anyone know of a way to unbrick it? I am thinking perhaps flashing a stock rom can resuscitate it? I googled but could not find its stock rom to download.
Any help will be appreciated.

This ROM is just crewed up!! So many different errors it is not funny. Don't ever touch this- it screwed up my tablet big time.

My Huawei y520-u22 \data partition is read only

It's my sister's phone and I don't know What she did exactly all she said that she tried to install candy crush from google play and then the problem begun each time the mobile reboots after 5-8 seconds I get a ton of stopped working notifications mainly about google apps like "error com.google.process.gapps has stopped" which repeatedly appear each time I press OK and a ton of other stopped working errors like weather,settings and anything I try to open. No matter what I do uninstall any app, change settings, change wallpaper after reboot everything revert back I tried to wipe/factory reset but no dice, I tried to flash the stock rom using SP flash tool and flashed the rom successfully but nothing changed the same apps the same wallpaper I am not talking about the default apps and wallpaper no I am talking about the apps that my sister installed before like Facebook, whats app etc...
I thought about flashing a custom rom and picked one but it required custom recovery which in turn required root access I tried several programs like kingroot, oneclickroot through PC but didn't work then I tried to flash CWM recovery through SP flash tool following the instructions I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61359133&postcount=4 and again the recovery was flashed successfully but when I tried to go to recovery I found the stock recovery instead I tried to flash the recovery using Fastboot but Fastboot came up with this error:
"FAILED (remote: partition 'recovery' not support flash)" which when I looked around turn out to be an error related to locked bootloaders but as far as I know the bootloader on Huawei y520-u22 is unlocked but wanted to make sure so I tried this command "fastboot oem device-info" but it gave me ... as in processing and nothing for a very long time until I gave up and closed the cmd. I then tried to boot into safe mode after pressing the power button then tabbing the shutdown option and selecting boot into safe mode but the phone rebooted into normal mode as usual.
and now I am out of options what should I do ?
Edit: eventually I found that my problem like this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895628 was that the \data partition is read only but I can't fix it the way he did since he used advanced partitioning in clockworkmod recovery but I can't flash it or any other custom recoveries.

Hmm...
First, tell her to quit using Facebook app, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and other social media and texting apps. I know she just HAS to keep up with all her friends and the latest gossip but her device can't handle all those system demanding apps, they are literal HELL on mid-low end devices. They all constantly run scanning for updates and notifications, CONSTANTLY. They are notorious for making devices act crazy, especially when you have more than one of them.
For Facebook, its best to bookmark the Facebook page in mobile browser then create a shortcut for that bookmark on her homescreen, then it has to be set so that it loads the desktop site for Facebook, then she can view her Facebook messages, if it isn't set to load desktop site it will request she install messenger but she won't need to if she uses the desktop site to view messages. Then she can set her Facebook notifications to go to her gmail account, then in gmail app she needs to make sure it is set to receive notifications for gmail, then when she gets messages or activity on Facebook she will get a gmail notification in her status bar letting her know to check Facebook, then she can open the bookmark to view it. That is just as convenient as having the two apps but without all the strain on the device, also takes less space on internal and has less junk running in the background eating mobile data and draining battery.
As for her texting apps such as WhatsApp, Kik, Snapchat, etc., she needs to pick 1 or at the most 2 of them and leave the others alone, her device will run much faster and smoother.
You can try booting to recovery and wipe cache partition(not factory reset).
As for fastboot and SP flashtool not working, do you have USB debugging enabled in developer options on the device?

well thanks for your reply your advice about phone usage is great but wouldn't matter If I can't revive this phone anyway yes I tried both to wipe cache partition and wipe data and yes I enabled USB debugging but in case of SP flash tool all i need to do is have the proper drivers shutdown the phone click download in SP then connect the phone using USB cable then the red bar would fill up then another yellow one then a big green OK tick and nothing would change in the phone and for Fastboot all I need to do is shutdown then power + volume up then select fastboot then connect the phone then open cmd and type fastboot devices it would show the device Id then use the command fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-y520.img then I get the error "FAILED (remote: partition 'recovery' not support flash)" interestingly I got my hands on a normally working similar set which I tried several things on it like *#*#7378423#*#* It accepted the code but didn't do/show me anything just like my broken set then having the set in Fasboot mode I tried "fastboot oem device-info" which yielded nothing but ... just like my broken set other things I tried on my broken set I tried following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5 using "Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3" to create CWM recovery for my phone and got the error
error :no find kernelgz
error: no split boot image
then I tried to use easy magic Philz touch installer which eventually asked for root access on the phone
but I can't since I tried every root method and didn't work.
I even made a logcat if it would help I could attach it

The advice does more than help, its actually the REAL solution to the problem. If you get it fixed and she's still using all that crap it'll just cause issues again, I'm sure you don't want to have to go through all of this a second time, right?

I don't get how installing a game caused this, I believe there has to be more to the story somewhere, somehow.
Besides, with some of the steps you've taken, you've probably created other issues than it started with. Whatever you do, don't format the device in SP flashtool, you'll probably lose IMEI if you do that.

me too man me too I didn't believe it at all installing an app won't do all of this but at one point when I was rebooting I got this suspicious message which I took a couple of bad quality pictures for it here http://imgur.com/a/RIGqD

actually I have grown very confident dealing with the phone that no matter what I do It wouldn't matter since it will come back just as always and now I didn't create any other issues since no matter what I hit a dead end the device revert back no matter what I do, Do you feel me I am starting to go insane I am pretty sure even If I tried to brick this device on purpose I won't be able to.

Your pic keeps directing me to the imgur app to view it, I'm not installing the app just to view it, why not just upload the pic as an attachment to your post and it will display in your post instead.

Sorry old habits die hard I used to talk in this one forum before and their rules forbid to upload images or anything actually as attachments except in extreme cases here they are
hmmmm strange can't find the attachment button guess I will just post direct links hope they work

When did you say it displayed that? That looks fishy, the grammar is a little off as if whoever made that didn't quite know the language, kinda like the way grammar isn't quite right like some of the questionable Chinese apps known to be malware.
If you're using a browser you have to select "go advanced" under the box you reply in, then you'll see "manage attachments"
If you're using an app you should see a paperclip symbol or a pic thumbnail.

Yeah thanks found it and it displayed this only one time when I was rebooting after doing various things and I never saw it again and yeah the grammar felt really strange when I googled its content I only found a couple of Spanish forums talking about this but couldn't get any information about the source of this message and that's why I thought about the logcat in the first place.

the same problem
hi i have the same probleme with my huawei y520 u22 i can do nothing just start up the phone i got the message and i can do nothing when i try to unistall any app the phone restart and go back to the same situation wipe cache and wipe data nothing change flashing 1000000000000000000 roms nothing change any one can tell me there the problem is
as i think the flash memory is the problem its blocked in write and read.
any solution plz

I read this and just think, what the hell... i can not understand why "/data" is write protected. Just some thoughts running through my head:
- phone is not rooted and completely stock, but factory reset not working!? in this case ask for warranty and send it back to seller!
- if no warranty, ask Huawei for support. don't tell much, just claim factory reset is not working.
- ask any mobile repair shop, they have special hardware like Octoplus Box and can do factory reset.
- if possible - make a "backup user data" with Android system recovery, you may restore it on working phone, later.
- if you have read-access to "/cache/recovery" look for file "last_log" and copy to sdcard. "/proc/emmc" and "/proc/partitions" are another useful files. keep this in case you have to manually create the scatter file.
- you can use MediaTek SP Flash Tool Readback function in download mode to make a ROM backup dump. for readback you need to install VCOM Drivers, then first click Read back, then connect the phone to PC while switched off and insert battery. MTK Droid Tools will then help to segment the partitions from it. or readback every partition separately with scatter file. the most important files are "nvram.bin", "preloader.bin", "boot.img", "recovery.img".
- if phone is locked, ask Huawei for unlock code (not sure if this works on broken phone). there are different kinds of S-ON some will lock only bootloader, some lock all partitions, too.
http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/362724-official-code-request-to-unlock-the-bootloader-final-post
- try fastboot mode factory reset (not sure if working, just googled this stuff i found).
http://www.hardresetandroid.com/hard-reset/huawei-hr/huawei-ascend-y520-hard-reset-code-format-solution
- once you have unlocked the phone, do factory reset. phone should boot now. its hardly imaginable that "/system" is damaged because of never rooted the phone.
- if still not working, you should now be able to flash custom recovery, too. be careful, select tested binary for your special phone model only! flash in fastboot mode. avoid flashing with SP Flash Tool as long as you not absolute sure that scatter file is 100% correct (MTK Droid Tools may give you wrong scatter files for devices > 4 GB!)
- from custom recovery, you should able to root the phone via adb root method or install the "supersu.zip"
- once you have root, you can mount data partition read-write from adb shell (in recovery mode) and format or delete it. of course the custom recovery has a wipe data option, too.
- installing aroma file manager zip is another way to browse and modify everything in recovery mode. you can copy files from similar phone into "/system" folder, if phone still not working properly.
- don't restore a full backup from similar phone (especially NVRAM folder), this may clone IMEIs and WiFi MAC address.
- you can install a stock rom zip from custom recovery instead, and use my script bckp2cwm.zip to convert the user data backup into cwm format and restore "/data" folder only (converting script requires linux pc).
- delete suspicious apps from "/data/app" + "/data/dalvik-cache" + "/data/data" (every app has three entries with similar name). do it in recovery mode with aroma file manager, or on linux pc from backup file during converting (at this point where script is waiting for user input).
- search and read for "unbrick guides" on forum.xda-developers.com, as long as it is not a physical damage (Vol keys not working, emmc wearing out, etc) there must be a solution to get this phone working

- if no warranty, ask Huawei for support. don't tell much, just claim factory reset is not working.
yeaah I don't think they would respond with any helpful answer and would probably tell me to send my phone to the nearest service center.
- ask any mobile repair shop, they have special hardware like Octoplus Box and can do factory reset.
That's what I settled for eventually and I already sent it to my sister and told her to visit any mobile repair shop that has boxes like miracle box and such.
- you can use MediaTek SP Flash Tool Readback function in download mode to make a ROM backup dump. for readback you need to install VCOM Drivers, then first click Read back, then connect the phone to PC while switched off and insert battery. MTK Droid Tools will then help to segment the partitions from it. or readback every partition separately with scatter file. the most important files are "nvram.bin", "preloader.bin", "boot.img", "recovery.img".
done that already but what I got in the end didn't help me to fix the phone note that I don't care about the phone's content sure I care about the IMEI but the phone is not affected by any write attempts so I am not so worried.
- if phone is locked, ask Huawei for unlock code (not sure if this works on broken phone). there are different kinds of S-ON some will lock only bootloader, some lock all partitions, too.
I searched online and in threads talking about custom roms and recoveries for this phone and not a single one of them mentioned anything about the bootloader being locked.
- try fastboot mode factory reset (not sure if working, just googled this stuff i found).
haven't tried that but will try it ASAP since I don't have the phone right now.
One last note the phone boots normally but as I described in my later posts I can't edit anything without it reverting back after restart like changing the wallpaper or uninstalling an app.
And anyway thank you for your respond.

did you try to get (temporary) root access?

Not sure of What you mean but I think I tried and failed you can tell me What you mean exactly and I will tell you If I tried .
Edit: Alright I googled it and turn out to be temporary root for locked bootloader devices no special procedure just the same procedure as in permanent root but will lose root as soon I reboot again I tried a lot of rooting methods including kingoroot and 360root.

Not sure, too.. installing kingoroot.apk and root the phone may give root access until reboot (can't remember if rooting requires a reboot)?

Brainstorming. Lets come from other side. When you intend to write a malware - how would you realize this setting?
one thing is remount /data partition read-only, but is this really enough? what happen if /data is not writeable anymore - apps should crash or give errors on write cycle, didnt they?
but you claim phone is changeable until reboot. so we need the possibility to let them write in some other memory without noting that it storage has changed.
another way is copying /data to any hidden storage, and restore it on each reboot, but this should be time consuming, didnt it? and where can this amount of data be stored? sdcard? cache partition?
besides this, guess the malware needs root access to modify /data. or is it imagineable to change it without root access? lets find a conception to understand whats going on

No reboot is fast and not time consuming and I am always working on the phone without the SD card and about apps sometimes uninstallation is complete and the app disappear to show again after reboot and sometimes the phone restart upon uninstallation of an app
