Hello XDA,
Here's a quick review of my screnario.
Obj: Move data to new device.
Org. Device: ZTE (locked)
System 16b Android 6.0
Apps in use: ES Explorer, Magisk Manager 7.3.4
I had been moving/cleaning data as ES has an awesome UI with recycle bin!
I ended up wiping some media prematurely,
The crazy thing, the second I hit del, I tried to stop it.
Anyhow, all the apps installed seem fine, it's mainly media.
So, a few months back I had installed minimal ADB bootloader,
on a Windows Pc, and managed to unlock a different device,
pull up Android recovery,
and try to load an image on that device.
As most here know to do any recovery, root access is req'd.
Kingoroot, iRoot, Dr.Phone, EaseUs all are useless w/o.
The main ??, 1, I have Magisk Manager app installed on
this Zte device, and trying to gain root access,
just to eventually do file recov.
When I go to option in Magisk,-select and patch file,
it pulls "select raw or Odin tar."
From what I recall, I need a raw that matches device specs.
Or is there a generic IMG for ZTE.
Thanks in advance. Would this be easier with Ubuntu?

Ok I just picked up one of these and it's rather different from other Aos phones i've rooted. you need to have SDK installed with Platform-tools
try to put them on C: if not just be able to navigate to the Dir to acess the adb shell. If you need help just google how to acess adb shell and im sure you can find a vid on youtube to help.
Rooting this phone isnt something hard. I didn't make the zip file All credit goes to Vadim for actually doing that. I took the update.zip file from the root method of the Huawei Ascend II and flashed it onto my Activa using adb.
The obligatory "I am not responsible to what happens with your phone and you flash this image at your own risk etc etc.. You all basically know the drill ;P"
Before starting make sure that you have the Android sdk installed on your computer. (I recommend installing it to the root directory of your hard drive)
Also install the USB Drivers by auto running the program when you plug in your phone via usb.
Make sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled
And now the process:
1.Download the update.zip via download link below.
2.Copy the download to the root of your phones SD Card
3.Hop on over to command prompt and go into the platform-tools directory of the SDK 'cd \whatever.path.to.sdk\Android\platform-tools'
4.Run 'adb devices' and make sure your device is there, it should say M920
5. If its there then reboot with recovery. 'adb reboot recovery'
6. Once booted into recovery then use the volume up and down buttons to scroll up and down and to select press camera button and then press power button. (Not at the same time )
7. Choose update from SD Card.
8. Choose the update.zip from the root of your drive.
9. After its done then reboot your phone and its rooted
anyway google root activa 4g and theres a youtube vid that will help. =it also can be found here "://androidforums.com/activa-4g-all-things-root/576135-guide-how-root-your-activa-4g.html"
This method does work but the binary is still outdated and Su fails when trying to update it.. but it still runs root exploreer just fine so you'll be able to remove whatever you want. As far as Dev work for this I am still trying to find a custom recovery img and hopeing some rom ports may be available soon. I'll post again if i find anything hope this helps..
(^^)\/
Any update on this? I know it has been over 6 months, but it still seems to be the only root thread on the Internet for this phone. Haven't tried it yet, but if I am understanding you right then the functionality of this root will be very limited. (no SU at all?)
I'm just wanting to tether it so my wi-fi only Nexus 7 can have mobile data.

Do you need a custom rom just to tether?
Another interesting note: Called MetroPCS about adding hot spot plan for this phone and they told me its not possible and I have to get a Quatro or something... That can't be right can it? I thought all modern Android devices with wifi can make wifi-direct or whatever tethering uses...

how to root huawei without computer
All you need to do is download baidu root from 4shared the one with 2001 at the endorsement it and then press root then your phone should be rooted
Ok so I recently picked up a Huawei Ascend Y (H866C) from Straight talk. Now I'm no noob to rooting and roming but this thing has got me beat, from near as I can tell Huawei has locked the bootloader and disabled fastboot.
Without fastboot I can't flash a recovery, without the recovery I can't get SU, without SU I can't do ADB shell and push anything to /system; so i'm stuck in a never ending loop.
Does anyone know of a way to remount the system in r/w mode without SU, or for that matter maybe just a way to unlock fastboot mode?
Again I'm not some noob whining cause he can't get rooted, I've spent quite a few hours googling, looking up other forums, and running tests myself and have only now come to ask for help. So please no one tell me to google it or to stop whining.
Thanks

i know that i am new to rooting but i do really know how to root.
first, try superoneclick.
disable all antivirus and enable usb debugging.
if that doesn't work, use gingerbreak if you are on gingerbread.
also, disable antivirus.
also, try doomlord's easy rooting toolkit.
if that doesn't work, try kingroot.
remember to use the apk.
otherwise, use the root tool at shouji.360 .cn/ root
hope that helps.

How Can I Perform a Forced Upgrade?
Download the upgrade package from http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do. Use the unzipping software on your computer to decompress the upgrade package. Do not change the name and structure of the dload folder that is contained in the upgrade package. Use a USB cable to connect your phone to your computer. Copy the dload folder to the root directory of your microSD™ card. Disable the USB mass storage feature of your phone. Upgrade the software of your phone using the dload folder on your microSD™ Card. a. Power off your phone. b. Press the volume up and volume down keys at the same time. The upgrade screen with a progress bar is displayed. c. When the progress bar reaches 100%, remove the battery from your phone for 3 seconds. d. Reinstall the battery on your phone, power on the phone, and then wait for the system to start up.

Do any of those temp-root exploits work on the phone? Can you boot the phone into recovery/download mode? Google "manually root android" and try some of the methods there.
Huawei Ascend Y - Pushed files to sdcard need nautilus distro almost rooted
Ive actually found a possible root. it requires a distro of linux with nautlius. also to first adb psuh the particular files to sd card then after doing so booting linux distro with Nautilus copying the files you pushed to root ls.

Huawei Root
Can u plz tell me how to root huawei y201 pro
Hi - complete noob on Android here (bit of knowledge on Linux though). Hoped to chime in with a method of rooting that I found on the Chinese forums for the ZTE 中兴 Grand Memo U5.
Found this over at : h t t p : //bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6197913&extra=page=1
There is more detail there.
(FYI I am using Windows 8.)
You only need one piece of software which is the ZTE GRAND MEMO N5 ROOT.
All you need to do is
*Go to Settings>System>Developer Options and click USB Debugging (and linux adb, I think).
*Connect your phone to your PC via USB.
*Download and extract the attached zip, extract ZTE GRAND MEMO N5 ROOT.exe and run.
*Install the drivers on your PC (1)
*Continue or rerun the ZTE GRAND MEMO N5 ROOT.exe (2)
*Wait
（1）The first time this should open up a CD folder, via some kind of emulator. If it doesn't autorun, click on the Install or Autorun inside the disk/folder. This will install the ZTE device management software called JoinMe and also all the drivers for the phone to be controlled by the computer.
（2）The program should now go on to root the phone for you. (I found the program got stuck at this point and I had to re-run it - but it totally worked on the second run). You will see it say "success!" a couple of times. Wait for a few mins, hit any key and the program will exit and restart your phone.
Now you should find that you have root access. I used Total Commander to access and edit Root files after that.
Hi,
Thanks, this worked perfectly on my N5. After this i also added the play store.
Use the following link to do so, but dont forget to change the file permissions. If you do it that way after reboot the phone will tell you its updating 3 apps. After that you can log in to the play store etc.

Thanks again.
I'm trying to help root an Ace 3 S7270 running stock 4.2.2 for someone and have hit a few snags.
-The PC they use has no Internet connection.
-The device drivers aren't installed so obviously cannot transfer files from device.
Is there anything similar to towelroot that I could use to root the device? Or a way to mount the SD card as a mass storage device (like the mounting feature in TWRP).
I'm doing my nut in with this.
This one used to work on my firmware
Maybe you should try "Key Root Master Modded version" . It seems to be written in Indonesia or Chinese or something but when you entered, tap on "Mulai Root". It will prompt something with chances of success, tap "Root". Now you should get root. If you are lucky, you will get a normal SuperSU. If you aren't, you'll get another Superuser app and SuperSU. In that case, remove it manually.
Hello!
im trying to recover a very specific file that i think is a .dat file. i have tried different recovery tools but haven't find anyone one that is able to find the file. does any one know of a recovery tool that may be able to find this file? it's okay if the tool costs money but i want to be sure that it can find .dat files
thx for the help
Edit:forgot to write that im trying to recover it from a factory reset
A Factory Reset deletes all those files that weren't present when the phone was put in the market.
Deleted files aren't accessible from within Android.
What 3rd-party recovery tools have you tried out so far?

i have tried undeleter so far
I am also interested in file recovery. I have an Motorola XT1032 with a locked bootloader, Android 5.1 and the app/data has been uninstalled.
So far I have tried:
Dr Fone root
KingRoot PC
Recoverit for PC
UltData Android
Minitool Android Recovery
None have been able to root the phone or find anything useful
Ultdata can only recover pictures videos etc
Minitool needs the phone to be rooted, and surprisingly did not detect older phones that I tried that were already rooted.
DrFone Android Recovery indicated 300 files which it zips up, unfortunately I had to pay to recover them to the PC, and they were all just remnants of kingroot, drfone etc.
DrFone root, kingroot, kingoroot, iroot etc all failed to root the device
I am now considering the approach from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-internal-memory-data-deleted-files-recovery.3093292/
-but am concerned that this process will first wipe the device.
Update: The DirtyCow exploit appears to work on this handset without resetting it, using the method from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xt1528-verizon-pre-paid-temporary-root-achieved.3530293/
