I. INTRO AND SUMMARY: I decided to experiment with rooting on this phone, which was lying unused. I was successful, using KingoRoot but from a PC (the Android .apk version did not work for me). Below are the details.
II. NOTE ON MODEL: The "BLu Life One" nomenclature does not identify a specific phone since there were several branded with this name, sometimes but not always including extensions to the name like "XL." This guide is for the phone that, under Settings > About Device gives the following information: Model BLU LIFE ONE; Processor Qualcomm Technologies, Inc MSM8916; Android Version 5.0.2 (I had done an OTA update from 4.4.4 at some earlier point); Kernel Version 3.10.49; Build Number LRX22G release-keys; Custom Build Version BLU_X010Q_V11_L_GENERIC 20-01-2016 16:15. This phone is described at gsmarena dot com / blu_life_one_(2015)-6930 dot php with pictures, if you need to make sure.
III. PROCEDURE I FOLLOWED:
PART A: On Android Phone
1. Do a factory reset of the phone (after saving anything you may want from the phone beforehand to a different device, of course). Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.
2a. Normally, I would do one more OTA update to get the latest Android version (if there was one) before rooting via Settings > About Device > Wireless Update. However, this crashed consistently and silently. My guess is that BLU changed their update server and the older models can no longer communicate with them, and the OTA update attempt fails (not very gracefully).
2b. When doing the initial setup of the phone coming out of reset, do NOT setup your WiFi yet (otherwise it will automatically try an OTA update and be in an endless loop trying to do so, owing to the problem mentioned above, and your phone will never initialize). Just choose your language and skip all other steps like WiFi, Google account login or setup, etc.
3. Once you have successfully initialized your phone in a clean state, then turn on WiFi and connect to a reliable network.
4. Become a developer on your Android (Settings > About device > Touch "Build Number" 7 times). Turn on USB Debugging (Settings > Developer options > USB Debugging).
5. Go to Settings > Display > Sleep and change to "30 minutes" or "Never" (you can change it back later, but I found the root process would suspend if the phone entered sleep).
6. Open the Play Store, set up your Google Account and download the app Root Checker (Joey Krim version), recommended by KingoRoot to verify that the rooting was successful. You may want to create a separate Google account for this purpose, otherwise if you connect to your primary one, it will attempt to sync your email, calendar, and all sorts of other stuff to your phone from your Google account, which you may not want at this point. Or you can try to disable all sync and all automatic App update from your Google account and Play Store as early in the process as it will let you.
PART B: On PC
** NOTE: You may want to read the section below IV. PROTECTING YOUR PC before doing this part! **
7. Connect your Android to your PC via the USB cable. It may try to download various drivers, some of which may be successful and others not, but don't worry if some driver installations appear to fail--Kingoroot apparently has its own ADB drivers that it installs during the early part of the rooting process.
8. On your PC, go to kingoapp.com (avoid downloading from other sites), and click on the "Download for Windows" link to download kingoroot.exe on your PC (I earlier tried the "Download for Android" link to sideload the KingoRoot.apk file, but this version stalled at 90% and did not work--the Windows version is stated as being more reliable and this turned out to be true for me).
9. Run kingoapp.exe on your PC with your phone connected, and let it install. Uncheck the box "Install Recommended App" when it appears and allow it to run. (The mysterious "Recommended App" turns out to be a sponsored "SuperBattery" App that's pretty useless. If you accidentally allow it to install, you get the option to uninstall it later.)
10. Accept installation of the Kingo Link App over the USB. Google "Play Protect" will try at least twice to warn you about the danger of allowing this, but if you want to root, you need to accept it.
11. The program will prompt you to enable USB Debug mode if you didn't already do it, then will install an ADB driver (which Windows Plug and Play was unable to install successfully in my case). You will then get a prompt on the phone to accept USB connection from the computer with signature specified. Check the box "Always Allow from this Computer" and allow.
12. Finally, the screen "BLU LIFE ONE / Root your Android. Make it more interesting!" screen will appear on the computer with a ROOT button. This means that the drivers installed properly and the KingoRoot PC program is communicating properly with the phone. Press the ROOT button, after unchecking the box "Install recommended app."
13. At various points, Google will ask to "check device activity for security problems, and prevent or warn about potential harm. / Learn more in the Google Settings App," which I always declined.
14. At various points, the phone screen will turn white and then return to the home screen. Finally, the computer should show "ROOT SUCCEED / Would you make a donation to support us?" You can close the PC program at this point.
PART C: On Android Phone
15. Reboot the phone (NOT a Factory Reset, just a simple Reboot). I found the Google Play would not work without this additional reboot.
16. Run the previously downloaded Root Checker App. A prompt from KingoRoot's SuperUser app will appear, asking you if you want to allow Root access to the Root Checker app, to which, of course, you must say "Yes." It should confirm that you have root access.
17. Do NOT uninstall the KingoRoot SuperUser App, otherwise you will lose root access. (It is possible to replace it with others like SuperSU, but that must be done and run FIRST, before uninstalling KingoRoot's SuperUser. I did not bother with replacing KingoRoot's SuperUser with another.)
IV. PROTECTING YOUR PC
Since I'm wary of installing software on my PC from sources that are by definition hacking sources, I took the following steps to protect my PC and it's data. You may wish to do the same, even though I have not read reports of KingoRoot, if downloaded from it's official site, containing Malware or covertly installed Adware. It IS suspicious, however, that the ADB driver installed by KingoRoot advertises itself as "Name: Google, Inc., Publisher: Finger Power Technology Co., Ltd." Clearly naming the driver "Google, Inc." is a way to reassure people who see the name "Google, Inc." on the screen without realizing that it's not in the "Publisher" field--one wonders why they would bother with this deception if there weren't an ulterior motive behind it.
1. I used an old netbook PC for the rooting, with no important data on it. I did NOT use my primary PC with my important data.
2. I ran the program under a non-administrative username. Of course, I had to provide an administrator password at two points, but at least I knew each time that administrative access was being requested.
3. I uninstalled the KingoRoot program from the PC after I was done with it and deleted the downloaded executable installation file, and confirmed that the installation folder was deleted as well.
4. Lastly, I did a system Restore to a point earlier than my installation of the KingoRoot program (you may want to create a Restore Point for this purpose beforehand), so that any other system files accidentally or intentionally corrupted or installed by KingRoot would also be restored to their original state or removed. Note that while System Restore often uninstalls programs that were installed after the Restore Point you go back to, it did NOT do so for KingoRoot.

Okay, I have been able to get ADB access to the I-Mobile i858; but I cannot get root. There is an SU program and Busybox pre-installed on this device. I tried changing the permissions of SU to 4755 and 6755 without success. It looked like it was trying but something is interfering with root. Maybe if we work together we can figure this out. I even modified a flash image to set the permissions when it flashed the new image. That still did not give me root.
Here is how you get ADB to connect. It is kind of a pain but at least now we can talk to the device.
1. Install the "Android Terminal Emulator" by Jack Palevich from the Android Market to your device.
2. Download the Android ADB device drivers from this link and un-rar them.
http://www.generalmobile.com/support/dstl1/DSTL1_USB_Driver.rar
3. Open Device Manager on your computer.
4. Make sure debugging is turned off on your device in Settings>Applications>Devices.
5. Open the Terminal Emulator you downloaded in step 1 and type in the following command "<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>".
6. Go back to Settings>Applications>Development on your device and turn USB Debugging on. Click OK when prompted to confirm.
7. Plug the USB cable into your i858 and then your computer's USB port. In my tests using a reliable hub is okay.
8. You will see a device under Universal Serial Bus Controllers that says either "USB Mass Storage Device" or "USB Composite Device." Watch that section in Device Manager to see which one is the new one when you plugged in your device.
8. Uninstall the Mass Storage or Composite Device that was added to Device Manager when you plugged in your computer. You do this by right-clicking it and selecting "Uninstall".
9. On Device Manager Click the Actions pull down menu and click "Scan for hardware changes".
10. If you are lucky an unknown Android Device will no be listed in the Device Manager as not working due to no drivers installed. Go to properties of this device and update drivers browsing to the folder when you unzipped the drivers downloaded in step 2 above. The Android ADB drivers will now install.
11. If that doesn't work keep uninstalling the Mass Storage or Composite Device and rescan until the Android Device appears in Device Manager.
12. If you unplug it you will have to go back to step 4 but you can skip step 5.
13. If you reboot or turn off your device you will have go to back to step 4.
14. Unfortunately, I have to do this ritual every time I want to connect to the device by ADB; but heck it sure beats having no ADB access at all.
Now that you guys have ADB access let's rock this device, root it and have some fun. I spent all day trying to root it without success. I did manage to make the phone do some weird things and reboot a couple of times. I was changing permissions for the pre-installed "su" program in "/system/bin" but obviously there is something else that needs to be done to root this device. At least we are one or two steps closer now.
Thanks for sharing with us your work
For me i just delete apps befor i flash the rom because after when the apps installed i can t delet them because there are protected.

If the device was rooted then you could delete them on the phone.
I-Mobile i858 has been rooted!!!
Okay, the I-Mobile i858 comes pre-rooted but there is something wrong with the way it was setup and root doesn't work. You download a program called Universal Androot and let it re-root the device so that it corrects whatever mistakes the ODM put in that made root not work. In your browser go to the following URL and install the program.
http://bit.ly/cwNm9u
When you run the program it says the device is already rooted; but there is some problem as the rooting is not complete. So you tell the program to root the device again. After it is done the device is rooted and stays rooted after reboot. Programs like Boot Control that require root access now work. There is a SuperUser Authorizer app that will intercede the first time and ask you if you want to give root permission to that app. That is a good thing and will protect you from malicious programs getting root that can cause you all kinds of nightmares.
But, I am root and I still cannot uninstall the pre-installed apps. How do you do that even as root? I am missing something.
hey great new s thanks for your work today i went to the i-mobile shop in samui and there say rom update is official confirm to 2.1 or maybe 2.2 there dont know excactly
Now i have root thanks. But following problem when i try to delete some apps that pre installed.
Says delete it but in real do not delete the app ummm
do you have any id why i can not delete the apps??

Any pre-installed apps cannot be deleted the normal way. Install Titanium Backup from the Android Market and let it have root when requested. You can use that program to uninstall pre-installed apps with root.
Rooted! ADB! Now this device gets much more useful! Great work jboxer, thanks!
BTW the rooting app has been updated to v1.6.1

I've been reading here at XDA, I can find the instructions - no problem.
However, in the WIKI there are a few things I don't understand.
The problem also is that all the posts assume you know what's going on and they start in the middle of a thread.
Then there's advice to use Odin, not to use Odin, use this, don't use this.
Some say unmount the SD card, some make no mention of SD card.
Then there's different backups. I've seen Titanium mentioned.
There's advice to get the latest drivers from Samsung - The phone isn't even in the dropdown list of phones, and the letters for the model don't match.
There's the custom ROM advice. Since there aren't many for this phone as yet - and all you want to do is remove crap, what do you look for?
I have to get rid of that stupid Doubletwist and airsync before I toss the phone!
Z
It is rather confusing isn't it...
In a simple answer....
Find the SuperOneClick zip file in one of those threads in the Dev forum & root the phone.Then go get TitaniumBackup ( Pro Recommended ) & you can remove the bloatware. I'd recommend the Pro Version so you can freez the apps you don't delete.
That's what i did on my SGS4G ( and i am not a experianced modder myself )
One problem. I downloaded superoneclick and NET can't find the runtime file.
I'm using XP and ver 4 of NET. I turned off NOD32 and Online Armor.

Uninstalled NET 4 and put in 3. I can open the file, but NOD32 keeps quarantining RAGE. Says it's a trojan.
I don't really want a custom ROM - but would like some more information on Titanium Backup. The Market won't download to the phone, but going to the market on the phone will let me download.
Thanks,

Let it scrub the RAGE file, you need the other one actually to make it work
Which one? PSneuter?
Also some confusion about the Samsung driver. I also have a Galaxy 3. I downloaded Kies and the driver. I downloaded the new driver (did not install it)and stuck it in a folder named Samsung on the Desktop. Kies is in the Samsung folder in programs and I assume that the original driver is in there, too. The driver is listed in Add/Remove programs.
I can either delete Kies or rename that file to something else, and stop Kies from running. So there's 2 drivers, and I suspect they are the same.
Since I can't send a download from the Market on the PC to the phone, I have to download from Market on the phone. I can't install Titanium unless I root, but can I get to Titanium from the phone if I do root?
Thanks

I use linux... so i have no idea what Kies is or does..

So which phone are you trying to Root? Samsung Galaxy 3 or Samsung Galaxy S 4G? If your rooting the S 4G you can find the drivers here http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...728034640796/SGH-t959_Vibrant_USB_Drivers.zip
I have no experience with rooting with XP but I assume it would be essentially the same steps.
If your looking to do stuff on your Galaxy 3 then please go to this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=868
and do your research over there.
It’s not that difficult to root the SGS 4G Phone. The first thing you need to do is make sure your phone is communicating with your computer. Install the Samsung USB drivers.(make sure you have the right drivers for your O.S. either 32bit or 64bit) In your phone go into Settings/Applications/Development and make sure you check “USB debugging”. Connect your Tethering cable to your phone. On your home screen you should see “USB Connected” popup on top of your screen. You should be able to press USB connected button from the drop-down menu on the home screen and see the external SD card on the computer now. If that works then Turn off USB storage. (leave “USB debugging” checked) Open NOD32 application from your system tray. Go to Settings and select “Temporarily disable antivirus,” put your password in if prompted. Then Download SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse, expand the file and go to SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse Directory. Run the SuperOneClick App. When it opens don’t change anything and just click “Root” and let it run. It should say rooted when done. Then go to the Market on your phone and get Titanium Backup and install it. It will ask for SuperUser permission and accept that on your phone. If that fails press “Problems” button, Then “Get Busybox”. Install the new Busybox. You may have to close and reopen Titanium Backup again. I would say to download and install ClockworkMod after rooting and before getting Titanium Backup, Except ClockworkMod currently does not work for the SGS 4G Yet. So, skip that step for now. You should be able to backup your phone after this.

This is good information, but what about for Mac users? I was previously able to root my Samsung Vibrant just by installing the update.zip file via CWM. Should Mac users wait for this course or can we make it happen now?
Also, what's the benefit of rooting right now? Just to remove bloatware? There's no custom roms yet, right?
Look at the Unix instructions about associating the USB ID with the Mac. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that is the missing step.
Update: Nope -- According to Google, http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up
Setup your system to detect your device.
* If you're developing on Windows, you need to install a USB driver for adb. If you're using an Android Developer Phone (ADP), Nexus One, or Nexus S, see the Google Windows USB Driver. Otherwise, you can find a link to the appropriate OEM driver in the OEM USB Drivers document.
* If you're developing on Mac OS X, it just works. Skip this step.
* If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, you need to add a rules file...
(Emphasis mine)

I'm wanting to root the 4G. The Galaxy3 was bought unlocked so it doesn't have the crap on it. Like I said, the ROM seems to be ok, it's just the stupid bloatware.

Macs are out of my Knowledge base. I've taught PC repair at LAUSD in Ca, but haven't studied the Mac thing. It's something I want to learn, just have not got around to it yet.
Hi all you wizards,
I had this now brick rooted and jiggling around it with uninstalling some preinstalled apps, but when I attempted to replace some fonts which was my main goal, it turned out that it was not really rooted!!! probably the rooting method and app was malicious. Then none of the apps could fully root it. Z4root followed by Superoneclick and Universalandroot have been tried, no chance but slow and unstable device. finally I decided to master reset. After this, a strange virus like fake warning sticks to the screen saying the battery cover is open and asking to restart! when I really open the cover another warning comes up that battery cover removed. phone is working in background. It responds to USB connection, even detects an update of ROM I copied to solve the problem but no chance.
Has anybody any idea to get it back to life by using PC as there is no direct interactions with the phone coz of the virus?
basically I prefer to get rid of the virus through SDK and ADB if possible although I am a mushroom and Dono how.
Is it possible to wipe off some infected data or I have to wash out all the ROM and install a new one?
I have another phone handy exactly the same thing, should I copy all data from other one to this one or the update version of original ROM would work?
it is Garmin Asus A50 nuvifone with built in full GPS and navigator; 256 ROM, 256 RAM, 600 MHtz CPU, ARMv6, android 2.1 update 1
Thanks so much in advance for any participation even your experiences without useful result
here is some more information about the matter;
I needed to install some fonts for other languages which are not supported by android
So I tried to use information and files to get my device rooted and replace some fonts in system/fonts directory and some files in system/lib directory to use other languages in my android.
1- I started with Z4root , I downloaded through device and installed it, and I uninstalled my antivirus as it always said it is not safe, so I activated USB debugging and then permanent root and I had the super user. I installed some apps and used them to uninstall some preinstalled app and similar issues. When I tried to replace fonts and files, my file explorer with root ability, it said I don’t have enough authorization or something to access the file, I tried more root file explorer but same result, even a root checker said my device is not rooted!
2- Then I tried UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. Again I downloaded it through my device browser but it could not help as it said fails! I thought it is because of Z4root so I uninstalled Z4root but failed to root again.
3- I wanted to use pc method and root my phone by PC, even though this method was for android ginger bread and not my brand but as much as tried, my device did not show a recovery mode in start up by pressing power button and volume key but when I pressed middle key of arrow keys went to safe mode. so I ignored it.
4- Finally I downloaded the oneclick app through my device from the net. It was a zip file with so many files and super user, I just installed superuser but not helpful to replace font, then uninstalled.
5- Again installed Z4root but my phone was freezing and unstable so decided to master reset to factory setting. I did it once but after reset, nothing changed so I did it again. This time a warning sticks on the screen says;
” close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first time set up.”
and asks for restart.
There should be something wrong as when I really open the battery cover, another warning comes up and says; battery cover removed!
Phone is working in background, even I copied a factory update of my ROM and its been detected but the crazy warning does not let to do anything but restart!
Now I need help to show me how I can use my PC to reset my device as upon a usb connection it asks for interaction and lets me to work via usb cable, and then how I can go to recovery mode in start up?
Otherwise it is a brick, lol
it does not let me to do any interaction cause of the crazy warning. it asks for restart, thats all I can do, or other warnings like asking to do update or usb connection option or battery cover removed, but no more. it means I can not activate usb debugging if needed or follow update process through mobile UI. besides in this kind of phone there is no recovery mode but just something like "USB polling mode" and "safe mode." the warning is in safe mode too and I dono how to use "USB polling mode".
however the only option is ADB, and I do not have an backup of the rom but another simillar phone to make copy or the update file, if possible to copy them via ADB which I am dono how; like which commands and where to copy them?

found this but dont know how to adb .
but for sure on giving a missed call and following the idea in link u can use the phone but annoying error wont go away
I have the same problem but I cannot receive calls
Hello
A couple days ago I got a Garminfone from a friend, I use it mostly as a GPS only, because T-Mobile does not have any coverage in my country and I don't have the unlock code.
Yesterday I wanted to make a hard reset to start over, holding the D-pad left while powering on the phone, **WIPE USERDATA** appeared on the screen.
Everything was fine until it restarted, after the restart it showed the following warning: "Close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first-time setup", the battery cover is closed and it does not let me do anything, the official ROM update does not install and If I do another hard reset the error persist and the phone does not make or receive calls.
Before this issue I got it rooted using z4root
Is it there anyway to update the device without using the update launcher from the phone?, or reinstall the 2.1 update using the usb cable via command prompt or any tool?.
I just want to get rid of this error and keep using the device as a regular GPS
Anyone can help?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Several people have been asking for help to root the Huawei U8652 (i.e. AT&T GoPhone Fusion U8652). After a little work, I figured out how to get this to work.
All previous users were having problems utilizing known techniques to root other Huawei phones of similar design.
Seems that the good folks at AT&T used a little trick to block the fundamental layers by which the root kits were using to gain access. It appeared that the phone had disabled certain logging features that would allow one to root the phone.
Here is how to do it (keep in mind you are doing this at your own risk, I am not responsible for any problems that you may encounter):
1. You need to install the latest Android SDK (search google for latest version)
2. download unlockroot v2.3
3. Follow the instructions and make sure that you have set your Settings > Development > USB Debugging box checked. I also set Unknown sources checkbox on.
4. Type in the following code on the phone keypad
*#*# 2846579 #*#*
This will open up the Service Mode
Go to Project Menu > Background Settings > Log Settings
Turn on Log Switch and set Log Level Settings to Verbose
go back one screen
Go to Dump and Log and place a check in all log settings.
Reboot the phone
Once rebooted use UnlockRoot and root you phone.
Confirm success by using a Terminal app from the marketplace (free) and when you open a terminal type su at the $ prompt. It will ask if you want to install SuperUser, accept. The terminal prompt should now read # instead of $ which means you are a root user.
Good Luck!
Tried your method but says "Not find devise"
i did it worked on huawei u8652 thanks dude
It Really Works, My Huawei is Finally Rooted. Thx
Thanks
Thanks, worked first time. Now to ADB and remove the ATT bloatware.
No device detected
Followed your guide but when i got to unlock root it would say that no device was detected but i had enabled usb debugging and the log files.
K SHOE did you install sdk manager that happened to me but i downloaded sdk manager and the plugins and it worked the second time

what plugins are you supposed to install i installed the sdk manager and then nothing else was their somthing in manager i was supposed to install.
Nope doesn't work on mine either. But I have Android 2.3.5 so I am sure that's the issue.
K SHOE i downloaded the sdk manager that said android sdk r16 windows.zip opened sdk then installed a bunch of things or if you want i can unroot mine and make a tutorial for u and post it on utube
I like that idea !

I have tried and tried but when I read the compatibility version 2.3.5 is not listed.
Thanks
Update: Got it to work with superOneClick.
Worked like a charm on my daughters phone! I used superoneclick 2.3.3.
Ok so I downloaded SDK manager , put the cell on debugging mode also did the *#*# 2846579 #*#* step but when I connect my phone to de pc it doesn’t come up on superoneclick or ultra lock . Is there any particular package that I must download from SDK manager? Or am I missing any step in the proses? I have Android 2.3.5

It will tell you all you need to know. Make sure not AV software is running and that you are running it as admin on windows. I know it's scary but it's what's required to make it work. Good luck.

Thank you very much man. I watched the video on the button and did exactly as it says. Once I connected the phone, in the general tab I pressed the Root button and it worked its magic. It works on 2.3.5, I used SuperOneClick2.3.3
Worked for me!
This process worked for me. UnlockRoot did not recognize my device on the first try, but after restarting my computer it went off without a hitch. Followed up the rooting with bloatware removal, now this phone is a true value. Thanks!
UPDATE: I purchased another one of these phones for my mother to introduce her to the world of smartphones. I rooted it using this method and it went pretty well. UnlockRoot did not recognize the device on the first try, but eventually picked it up and took care of business. I'm a noob to rooting and the android OS, so I figured I would pass along the easy method I went with to remove the AT&T bloatware. I downloaded link2sd (which is free) and after gaining superuser permissions, I used the "convert to user app" function on the bloatware. I then was able to move those apps to the SD card and then uninstall them. This might not be as efficient a process as using root explorer to delete the files, but for a noob it was much safer. I was able to free up over 70 MB of internal memory which finally allowed me to install more apps to the SD card.
SuperOneClick 2.3.3 worked for me. Awesome!

Several people have been asking for help to root the Huawei U8652 (i.e. AT&T GoPhone Fusion U8652). After a little work, I figured out how to get this to work.
All previous users were having problems utilizing known techniques to root other Huawei phones of similar design.
Seems that the good folks at AT&T used a little trick to block the fundamental layers by which the root kits were using to gain access. It appeared that the phone had disabled certain logging features that would allow one to root the phone.
Here is how to do it (keep in mind you are doing this at your own risk, I am not responsible for any problems that you may encounter):
1. You need to install the latest Android SDK (search google for latest version)
2. download unlockroot v2.3
3. Follow the instructions and make sure that you have set your Settings > Development > USB Debugging box checked. I also set Unknown sources checkbox on.
4. Type in the following code on the phone keypad
*#*# 2846579 #*#*
This will open up the Service Mode
Go to Project Menu > Background Settings > Log Settings
Turn on Log Switch and set Log Level Settings to Verbose
go back one screen
Go to Dump and Log and place a check in all log settings.
Reboot the phone
Once rebooted use UnlockRoot and root you phone.
Confirm success by using a Terminal app from the marketplace (free) and when you open a terminal type su at the $ prompt. It will ask if you want to install SuperUser, accept. The terminal prompt should now read # instead of $ which means you are a root user.
Good Luck!

Nice work!
I want to know though, if there is a way to unlock the AT&T Huawei U8652 without paying any code from any unlocking site?
Thank you
