[Tutorial | In-Depth] Huawei G750-U10 from Android 4.2 to 4.4.2 (+ personal exp)

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!

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.

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.

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!

I can't download the KitKat rom from needrom.is there any other link?????

Hi mates! I'm stuck in the bootloader unlock step; it keeps showing the 0x7000 error and it doesn't let me flash anything with the SP Flash Tool (guess it's because of the 0x7000 error). I tried to follow the Pavel22 guide posted up there... i can flash the rework-secro succesfully, but i get the 4008 error when flashing the whole rom. Can someone help me? Thanks!!

[Working]Install Windows 10 on Lumia 820 (ROOT access and bootloader methed)

Hi
Its not good that we don't have Windows 10 on our old devices and I recently found a trick to "interop-Unlock" old Lumia phones . with "CustomWPSystem_0601.xap" (selecting mix radio app and "vcREG_MIX_RADIO_bootstrap.xap" to deploy) and with registry changes you can get Windows 10 mobile. but for Some people like me ( in Iran ) MixRadio is not available.but don't worry its not going to keep us from getting Windows 10 have a lot of this Tutr all around but this is a full ALL-IN-ONE for Lumia 820
BY DOING THIS THE WARRENTY IS PERHAPS VOIDED DUE TO ROOT ACCESS GRANTTING AND BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING( who knows )
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BROKEN DEVICE IN OF ANY KIND.DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK .YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA DURING THIS
Tested on Lumia 820 RM-825 Running Windows phone 8.1
NOTE : These steps are very much harder than a simple interop-Unlock and higher at the matter of RISK OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE. So maybe you get confused or etc.. if you are new to windows phone or if you are a non-expert user. READ BEFORE DOING
1- Opt a Stock FFU file or Download via "NSU For reatil" or "Microsoft Device Recovery" . then name should be something like "RM825_3051.50009.1424.0002_RETAIL_im_mea3_287_02_440287_prd_signed.ffu"
pay attention to 3051.50009.1424.0002 part of the name it should be EXACTLY THE SAME WITH YOUR CURRENT VERSION IN PHONE (for you maybe a different number but still should be same in both your device and FFU file you got). If your Version is not the same, flash it with "NSU For retail" or any other tool.
2- Download Zip File from below and unpack it somewhere safe
3-Make sure to turn off your antivirus and HIPS and Auto Sand box if you have any
4-Go to dir where you unpacked the zip file and head t o "Windows phone Internals" and run "WPinternals.exe" you need to be Admin
5-OPTIONAL : Make a backup of your data
6-Connect your turned on Lumia to PC and let Driver get installed
7- Install "Nokia Emergency Drivers" . I used this. its better to restart your PC then.
8-In "Windows phone internals" click on "Unlock bootloader". and Select the folder you placed FFU file and set "Emergency Files" folder from Extracted(ONLY FOR LUMIA 820 <<RM825_3051.50009.1424.0002_RETAIL_im_mea3_287_02_440287_prd_signed.ffu>> FOR OTHERS VISIT THIS AND DOWNLOAD YOUR OWN) file to respected field and at last "Engineering SBL3" (FOR ALMOST ALL OLD PHONES IS IN ZIP FILE") folder to respected field. and hit continue. Follow next steps on screen
IN NEXT STEPS IGNORE ANY DRIVE ADDED TO YOUR PC . DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING
9-Then hit "Enable root access " in windows phone internal and set respected fields then hit continue. follow next steps on screen
10- at last when Root access is enabled . you will in stock in Storage mode.to Escape press and hold "power+Vol Down" about 10 secent until phone vibrate (this is a soft reset). after all your phone will restart and will normally boot
11- Use "WPV XAP Deployer 2.0" to Deploy "CustomPFD_0600.xap" (You can find both in extracted zip file) (no need for "developer register" due to Root access)
12-Open CustomPFD added to your app list and head to HKLM-->SYSTEM-->Platform-->DeviceTargetingInfo and change these
Single sim only :
PhoneManufacturerModelName " = RM-984
honeModelName = Lumia 830
PhoneHardwareVariant = RM-984
13- Download windows insider and roll in
14- now due to checksum computing during updates you need to Disable root access (BUT DO NOT RESTORE BOOTLOADER). so get back to Windows phone Internal and Disable root access. then rebbot and get back to normal .
15-check for update first one will be preparation and at secent you will get Windows 10 :laugh:
NOTE : your bootloaer will remain unlocked no problem till now BUT if we get any update to change anything to Secureboot then we are probably going to have our devices broken.

Followed all the steps worked thank you!

I have done this, step by step and it works. Regarding bootloader, what can go wrong? Will there be some updates which will make changes to secureboot?

Yes and no!
Microsoft has abandoned lumia 820 updates long time ago so 99% there would be no more updates but in that 1 percent they may release an update which contains new bootloader and overwrite the unlocked one. In that case depend on the new mechanism the solutions can vary ?
Good luck with your new windows 10 mobile device?

I am a noob at this and I dont understand lol. Can u explain better maybe?

If anyone is getting the Bluetooth issues after upgrading (it disables itself/needs to have flight mode switched on and off etc.) I think it's an issue with the latest build that update is sending (I think the last 3 numbers of the version number are 4xx (469?))
With a bit of experimentation (I have a couple of test 820 boards that have broken sim slots) I found that Technical Preview 10.0.14393.67 seems to work OK (most likely with other issues, but Bluetooth is OK) - this is the one you get by signing up for fast loop at all stages during the upgrades
EDIT - Turns out you need to perform a full restore once you've updated to .67 to get Bluetooth working again.

Hey, I did everything until last part : I'm stuck on "Checking for existing updates" :/ wifi + sim data
EDIT : Well, I rebooted multiple time, had to block every app update and system update appear, but i don't know if it's wp10 update :/
EDIT2 : well, updating to 8.1.14219.341 :[
EDIT3 : YaY, win10 update ! xD

i cant get microsoft device recovery to recognize my phone i installed new driver rebooted and still nothing, can someone help ?

It worked!! Thank you for your amazing guide

Hi.
I forgot the password of my Nokia Lumia 820 and I am trying to unlock it using the Aroma file manager. I already downloaded and moved Aroma file manager to the memory card. Now I need to boot my locked Nokia Lumia 820 into recovery mode and go to install zip from SD card. BUT I do not know how to enter the recovery mode in a Nokia Lumia 820. I have tried all these combinations: Power + Volume Up - Power + Volume Down - Power + Volume Up + Volume Down, Power + Volume Up + Camera button- etc, and nothing. could you please help me?

Hello All.. I tried to follow the process to unlock the bootloader of my Lumia 820. But in middle of the process, my laptop crashed
Now my phone is not switching on nor responding to anything. Suggest something to revive the phone.

I know it's 5 months already. Yesterday my phone got disconnected while flashing with WPInternals. It was dead. Fortunately, it was detected by laptop. Remember to use original USB cable or compatible. I wasted hours dealing with unbranded cable. Then I changed the cable with Samsung's one and found it working.
One of these three command revived my phone and set the screen to red screen with Nokia logo:
thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile "C:\PATH_TO\FAST8960_ARROW_ROW.hex" -mbnfile "C:\PATH_TO\RM825_msimage_v1.0.mbn" -orig_gpt
thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile "C:\PATH_TO\FAST8960_ARROW_ROW.hex" -mbnfile "C:\PATH_TO\RM825_msimage_v1.0.mbn" -skipffuflash
thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile "C:\PATH_TO\FAST8960_ARROW_ROW.hex" -mbnfile "C:\PATH_TO\RM825_msimage_v1.0.mbn" -ffufile "C:\PATH_TO_FFU_FILE.ffu" -skipffuflash

I turned off the phone by detaching the battery and then I reattached it. Execute this command, then connect the phone to laptop.
thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile "C:\PATH_TO_FFU_FILE.ffu" -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset

Successfull flash should changed the screen from red to green. Finally, we need to reboot the phone:
thor2 -mode rnd -bootnormalmode

Im trying to upgrade my Lumia 820 to windows 10, all was good until step 9
9-Then hit "Enable root access " in windows phone internal and set respected fields then hit continue. follow next steps on screen
where my phone just went blank, i assume somethings wrong with the bootloader and reflashed the bootloader again(with Engineering-SBL3-Lumia-820.bin)
but its still the same. So I went with rooting into the rom and flashing the rom, which worked. But now since Mass Storage Mode is not unlocked, I can't unroot without flashing again. Anyway, I downloaded Windows insider and tap on getting the preview builds, but a server error occurs. Confirmed that my date and time are alright, I have also did the registry editing. I have tried checking for updates, but it seems like its just another 8.1 update. What should my next steps be? Any advice greatly appreciated!

Try to change the time several hours backward.
When I tried it, Windows Insider successfully checked for update but it said no update. I have no idea if it was my firmware or the update was deleted from the server.

is there a better tutorial? I want to do this in a phone here but don't even know where to start

1.UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
!If the phone perfoms a bootloader unlock, a factory reset will be perfomed automatically. So you will have to backup your data to a sdcard or to the pc.!
Step 1.1 and 1.4 are hanging together. They can be skipped with no worries, but I would recommend to do it. !THIS IS NOT A FULL BACKUP!
1.1 [OPTIONAL]BACKING UP PHONE SETTINGS:
1.1.1 Download and install Hisuite on your pc: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
1.1.2 Connect your pc with your phone
1.1.3a If you see a pop up like this,then choose transfer files and skip Step 1.1.3b
1.1.3b Go to your Notifications on your phone. There will be a settings notification. Press on it and select File transfer via USB.
1.1.4 On your phone go to Settings -> Security & privacy -> More -> and turn on allow Hisuite to use HDB (image)
1.1.5 The phone may ask you to trust the pc. Select always trust this pc (image)
1.1.6 Go to settings -> System -> About phone -> and press about 10 times on the build number.
1.1.7 Go to settings -> System -> Developer Options -> and turn on USB debugging (image)
1.1.8 Open Hisuite on pc
1.1.9 Choose Backup and select everything. Don't password protect it.
1.2 OBTAINING THE UNLOCK CODE
Everything you see below in pink does not work anymore since Huawei has officially stopped providing the bootloader unlock code on their website.
Instead please use this thread for obtaining your bootloader unlock code: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903
1.2.1 Go to this website and press Unlock
1.2.2 Register a huawei id or login
1.2.3 Follow the steps until you see this page
1.2.4 Choose Since Emui 5.0
1.2.5 Fill out the rest of the information. (The IMEI can be found at settings -> System -> About Phone)
1.2.6 Press Commit. If every info was put in correct, A yellow message should appear saying: "Your unlocking password is: ..." Copy the code somewhere safe on your pc.
1.3 UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
1.3.1 Download Minimal ADB and fastboot for your operating system. For windows 32 and 64bit: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
1.3.2 install and open the folder where you installed it to.
1.3.3 Run fastboot.exe and adb.exe once
1.3.4 Go to Settings -> System -> developer options turn on OEM unlocking. If you do not have developer options do step 1.1.6 and come back to 1.3.4.
1.3.5 Connect your phone with the pc and turn on USB Debbuging(Step 1.1.7) and file transfer via adb(Step 1.1.3b) on your phone
1.3.6 On your pc go to the folder where you have installed adb. Open a CMD Windows at this folder(For Windows hold leftshift and press right click. Then choose open cmd from this folder)
1.3.7 Make sure that usb debugging is still enabled. In CMD: type adb devices -> hit enter. It should say your serial number with the status "device" (image)
If that is not the case, check if 1.USB Debugging is enabled 2. Allow Transfer files in Notifications.
1.3.8 type in CMD adb reboot bootloader. Your device will reboot into the bootloader.
1.3.9 It should say FRP Unlock and PHONE locked.
If FRP is locked and green, you did not enable oem unlock. => Hold the power button to reboot and go back to step 1.3.4
1.3.10 type in CMD fastboot oem unlock code replace code with the number from Step 1.2.6. Hit enter.
1.3.11 A window will pop up asking you if you want to unlock the bootloader. !Pressing yes will void your warranty and perform a factory reset deleting all personal data on internal storage.! With your volume up and down keys navigate to yes and press the power button to proceed. Your device will automatically reboot and perform a factory reset and reboot again.
1.3.12 Put in all your information, so that the phone is fully usable again
[OPTIONAL]1.4 REAPLYING PHONE SETTINGS
1.4.1 Repeat Step 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.1.7 and 1.1.8
1.4.2 In Hisuite press restore and choose the backup you have created in Step 1.1.9
2.FLASHING AND SETTING UP TWRP
2.1 FLASHING TWRP
2.1.1 Set a pin for your phone if you have not (lockscreen). Go to this thread and download stf-twrp-zxz-0.3.img and this kernel
2.1.2 Move both .img to your folder, where you have installed adb
2.1.3 Do Step 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7 and 1.3.8
2.1.4 It should say FRP Unlock and PHONE Unlocked(image) => Step 2.1.5 . If Phone is locked and green, you did not unlock your bootloader => Step 1.3.
2.1.5 in CMD type fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stf-twrp-zxz-0.3.img => hit enter.
2.1.6 type fastboot reboot in CMD to reboot. Do not close CMD window and do not unplug phone from pc if you continue with 2.2.
2.2 SETTING UP TWRP
2.2.1 Do Step 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7
2.2.2 in CMD type adb reboot recovery_ramdisk => hit enter
2.2.3 wait for it to boot. It will ask you for a password. You can choose whatever you want. I would recommend you use your PIN to unlock your phone. REMEMEBER IT!
2.2.4 Then this screen will appear. Swipe to allow modifications.
2.2.5 Press Reboot -> System and do not install the twrp app.
2.2.6a If your on screen buttons and flash are working skip step 2.2.6b
2.2.6b If your on screen buttons are not working => connect phone to pc and connect with adb correctly. In CMD press adb reboot bootloader to reboot into the bootloader. Then flash the custom kernel in CMD , by pressing fastboot flash kernel KERNEL_B360a_TOUCH_FIX.img and hit enter to flash. Then reboot your phone with fastboot reboot
2.2.7 !Read through this whole thread to check which functions of TWRP are working and which not!
3. ROOTING WITH MAGISK
3.1.1 Download Magisk v-16.0 from here and the uninstaller from here.
3.1.2 Connect phone with PC. Activate file transfer via USB in Notifications. Move the Magisk-v16.0.zip and uninstaller.zip to the root of your internal storage or sdcard on your phone.
3.1.3 Do Step 1.3.5, 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 . Type in cmd adb reboot recovery_ramdisk => hit enter.
3.1.2 Type in your password from Step 2.2.3. Press on Install. Select the storage where you put both .zip from Step 3.1.2. Search and press on Magisk-v16.0.zip. Swipe to flash. Then press on reboot to System.

Nice thread. Good.

I've tried to get the unlock code from the site for three days to no avail. It always just redirects to front page as there doesn't seem to be any unlock page anymore. So if anyone has any better luck with this please share

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).

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:

Just to let everyone know. The unlock page is back. :highfive::laugh::laugh::laugh: Happy Unlocking :good::victory::victory::victory:

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?

How To Guide The Complete Noob Guide to Rooting Moto G Stylus (2022) XT-2211 Mediatek Variant

This is NOT for the 2021 Moto 5G Stylus. This guide is exclusively for the Moto 5G Stylus 2022.
This tutorial is for people like me than just got the Moto 5G Stylus XT2211 (Factory Unlocked Mediatek Variant) running on stock Android 11. I got this phone literally Sunday brand new in the box from Best Buy (Yes, I took a Chance and copped it from them hoping it could be bootloader unlocked). This is a hand holding guide for the Noobs that really are intimidated by rooting their device, so even though there are other guides up, this one is for people like me that need every step explained.
Follow the following at your own risk! I am not responsible for any mishaps with your devices.
I've been rooting Motorola phones now for five years, so I'm pretty handy as a script kiddie (I know bad word) in doing it. I also was pretty active with my last phone over at the Moto One 5G Ace Forums, so here's to hoping my progress with these phones continues.
Thanks to Android 11 being System As Root with all these new super partitions running amuck (like Android 10), you cannot get Write access in the actual system files. So even when you achieve root, you can't do much without getting a script and accessing those partions. @lebigmac and @munjeni have been constantly working on that. Drop by their respective threads on R/W access and beta test his script so he can get more knowledge about how Moto phones work so we can have easy R/W access like Xiaomi and Huawei phones.
Introduction/Preparation
First, go and prepare by READING EVERYTHING. Very important. This is the Mediatek variant and NOT the Qualcomm variant. Flashing does make a difference between the two. Last thing you want to do is brick the device because you flashed the wrong firmware to the wrong processor, or you flashed other software for the other similar Moto One 5G Stylus (2021) and it bricked. This is the MILAN version.
Second, unlock the bootloader. All T-Mobile and their subsidiary variants can be unlocked by Motorola as well as International and Motorola factory variants; go to their bootloader official unlock site and follow their instructions, it's easy peasy. If you do it in firefox it may not go to the third step page and hang on the page where you put the long code in (follow instructions on page to get the unlock code you'll see what I'm talking about). It is HIGHLY ADVISABLE to do this in Firefox or Chrome (I used Firefox). And yes, you may have to request the code 3x to get it to send to your email depending on their server traffic. When you get it, follow Motorola's instructions for unlocking the bootloader in fastboot. It will show you that the bootloader is unlocked.
Make sure the code you're copying and pasting is correct. If it is incorrect it will not approve you for bootloading unlocking and not tell you the code was missing a letter/number. They are getting sneaky.
***IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT OEM UNLOCKING GREYED OUT***
If your OEM Unlock tab is greyed out in the Developer Options, just know that Motorola/Lenovo now have some weird timer on that to activate. I had to wait 3 days for mine to activate. Some report it takes longer. Others reported it was 3-4 days. I factory restored, reflashed the firmware, etc. day one just to make sure anything funky that could be put in there was clean and brand spanking new. Not saying you have to do this but there have been varying reports on Moto phones since 2020 about how long this takes. If you're not sure if yours can be bootloader unlocked, get the code from Moto. If it can it will email it to you and from ther ejust wait.
Verizon and ATT Variants CANNOT BE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED.
***NOTES SO YOU DON'T FREAK OUT***
1. The Command Prompt will tell you it is locked and you will see "flashing unlocked" on the phone in fastboot once it is done.
2. The only way to restore the phone if something goes wrong is by flashing it via fastboot. The way to get to fastboot is turn the phone off and press Volume Down and Power. The Motorola tool will NOT work. That's normal.
3. You will see a cute message that you've unlocked the bootloader and that the phone software integrity is compromised when you boot the phone up every single time after the bootloader unlock. It will also say press the power button to pause. This is normal. Give it a minute, you havent broke it.
4. OEM Unlocking should already be activated and greyed out in the Developer Options once the bootloader is unlocked; you can't access it anymore and it will tell you if the bootloader is unlocked.
Files
You will need an SD card for root. You will also need other apks to successfully help you pull off root ready to install. Pull ALL the necessary files you will need.
1. Get Minimal ADB and Fastboot OR Tiny ADB and Fastboot (it's easier).
2. Download the Motorola Drivers from their site if yo don't already have them (if you run into problems you will have to uninstall and reinstall them through their utility which is found on PC here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Motorola Shared\Mobile Drivers
3. Cpu-Z.apk (Very important, its hard to know your hardware without this).
4. Magisk v22.0.apk (They no longer have a separate Magisk Manager)
5. Root Explorer.apk (This software helps navigation better but you can use any Explorer of your choice).
6. Root Checker.apk
7. Stock Firmware XT2211-2_MILAN_RETUS_11_RRDE31.Q3-73-12_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_cid50_R2_CFC.xml (This is important if you mess up the boot image trying to root). You can get the firmware of your choice at Motorola Official Firmware For Milan.
8. Patience (and a good movie keeping you going).
As of now this device as no TWRP, so you have to do this the old fashioned way to root. And just so you know, I used Windows 10 for all of this.
Pre-Rooting
1. Make sure the phone is fully charged.
2. Make sure your sim card is REMOVED from the phone. Everytime you wipe the phone or do anything messing with the boot image the phone resets itself to factory settings, and tries to push an update. Just take the silver key thing and pop it out. You will have to push it back in and out in a second, but start with it out.
3. Make sure your wifi is OFF.
4. Make sure your SD is in and mountable and all files you need are on the card.
5. Make sure you Save boot.img to your SD Card from your firmware files. This is very important for root.
6. Make sure your developer options are activated.
7. Make sure your USB debugging is enabled AND you've given permissions for your computer to have administrative access with it enabled (more on this below).
8. Make sure to check CPU-Z for your hardware specs so you download the right files for the phone and avoid potential problems.
9. Make sure you manually set USB to Transfer files (no other option will work and by default its set to Charge this Device).
10. Make sure you have the STOCK CABLE that comes with the phone. Like most Motorolas this model is funky about using other cables.
11. Make sure you back up all your calls, texts, pics, etc. Flashing the firmware is the ultimate factory reset and you will lose all your files on the phone. SMS Restore is a good software to backup Calls and Text logs and it supports keeping MMS.
12. Make sure you have the internet. It is necessary for some steps.
Rooting
1. Make sure all the firmware files are extracted into your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder (or whatever ADB folder you're using for this).
2. Open FlashFile.xml in Notepad. This is located among the firmware files you put in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
3. Cut, copy, and paste everything from the FlashFile that is shown and then paste it in an online Flash file Converter if you are flashing a fresh version of the stock firmware. I used Online Flash File Converter here. I recommend this just in case you're on a newer firmware - if not jump to Step 13.
4. Convert the text by pressing the bar below where you pasted the text. It may be in Spanish or Portuguese but is should say something like Cerar Commandos.
5. Copy the text by hitting the two pieces of paper icon in the corner after it's converted. Or just cut copy and paste manually.
6. Turn the phone completely OFF.
7. Plug your phone via USB cable into the computer.
8. Press Volume Down and Power to boot into fastboot mode. Do not use "adb reboot bootloader" as that command may or may not work and hang at "waiting for device" (it was iffy for me and it knocked off USB permissions BADLY).
9. Open up Minimal ADB and Fastboot (Make sure you don't have it set to open this as an administrator, it messes with permissions) Make sure your firmware files are in the Minimal ADB directory or it won't work.
10. Paste the contents of the flashfile converter into Minimal ADB and Fastboot. This should start the process of the flashing.
11. When the entire flash is complete, boot the phone and disconnect phone from the computer. Ignore the bootloader unlock error.
12. Wait. Sometimes this takes up to 3-5 minutes on a new flash. You should see the boot animation of Motorola.
13. Push your Sim Card back into the phone.
14. Start setting up your device on the screen. Sim Card must be in or it will give you a message your phone is Network Locked.
15. Once you make it to the Wifi Setup screen take the Sim back OUT the phone. Do not connect to Wifi.
16. Once you are done with setup, go to Settings>About phone.
17. Go all the way down to Build Number and press it until you unlock Developer Options.
18. Go to Settings>System>Advanced>Developer Options. Advanced is a pull down tab that will reveal Developer Options.
19. Disable Automatic System Updates. I know this is hard for some people, but a forced OTA update may cause problems and prohibit root.
20. Enable USB Debugging. Disable Verify bytecode of debuggable apps. Disable Verify apps over USB if it is highlighted. Exit.
21. Put your SD/Sim card back into the phone.
22. Go to the Files folder and install Magisk first, then Root Explorer and Root Checker.
23. Open Magisk. You will see Magisk and App. Hit Install by Magisk (a fingerprint looking icon is to its left).
24. Allow Magisk to access photos, media, and files if it asks.
25. Select option "Select and Patch A File."
26. It will take you to a screen where you can select your explorer to navigate to your SD card where you saved the boot.img. Go there and select it.
27. Magisk will save it as magisk_patched.img. Once you get it patched, find where it saved, make sure it's on your SD card and then turn off the phone.
28. Plug your phone via USB cable into the computer.
29. Press Volume Down and Power to boot into fastboot mode.
30. Open up a fresh Minimal ADB and Fastboot (Make sure you don't have it set to open this as an administrator, it messes with permissions) Make sure you transfer the magisk_patched.img that Magisk patched off your SD card into this folder.
31. Rename your original boot.img to "boot.img original" or whatever distinct name you want to give it in your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
32. Rename your magisk_patched.img to boot.img.
33. In Minimal ADB and Fastboot type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and hit enter.
34. If all goes well it should flash to the partition before it says done and in how many seconds.
35. When it is done, reboot phone by selecting START (keep pressing volume rockers until you see it, then press the power button).
36. Wait for the bootloader cannot be trusted screen to pass (may take a minute) and wait for the Hello Moto opening.
37. Open Root Checker and confirm root. You can uninstall it after confirmation if you like.
38. Open Root Explorer. A prompt asking you to grant permission should pop up.
Congrats. You should be rooted now.
***NOTES SO YOU DON'T FREAK OUT***
1. Do NOT flash someone else's patched boot image. It WILL NOT WORK. Do the work, find your firmware, and patch the boot image yourself. You're asking for bootloop hell if you do as your boot.img that Magisk patches needs to match that particular firmware you used.
2. While it hasn't happened to me, You may have followed everything perfect and it still bootlooped. Save yourself the frustration and just flash it over. See the next section on the proper way to flash so you don't lose your baseband, IMEI, or any other important stuff.
3. While you won't lose anything just flashing boot.img, you will lose everything having to flash ALL the firmware over. Keep backups of all your important stuff.
****Notes on Flashing The Stock Firmware if you have to****
In the event you bootloop and have to start from scratch, follow my guide on restoring the firmware on the phone. And don't worry - it won't relock the bootloader. You can find my guide here: The Complete Noob Guide to Flashing via Fastboot Factory Unlocked Moto 5G Stylus XT2211 [Mediatek Variant]
Hope this helps my fellow TMobile and subdiary acolytes and others. I'll be working on securing R/W access soon.
I will try and answer questions if I can or point you in the right direction.
