Hi,
I got the Huawei Ascend G525 as a gift from brother in law living in china, and now I am in a bind that it does not have the google play, i installed it using the apk file for google play but the whole UI is in Chinese settings , and the usual Chinese OS version issues for english user >_< , I managed to find and download German firmware (sorry forgot the link to post where it was) and tried to install it but the update failed. Further research led me to believe that i have to unlock its bootloader and I tried to use the method on huawei site (using adb toolkit) but for that i need bootloader unlock key and the site options to get key from huawei does not have G525 in list, so I am back to square one, Please let me know how i can unlock bootloader of Huawei G525 and if there is a new firmware I can use or something like flashing phone rom with Odin (I did flash my galaxy tab 2.0 with odin with new UK firmware)
The Android version is 4.1.2
and firmware file name, i download is Ascend_G525_firmwareú G525-U00,Android 4.1,Emotion_UI,G525-U00 V100R001C00B188,West_Europe
my mobile current firmware is G525-U00V100R001CHNC00B180
Please any help will be useful.

If you tell me the block name of recovery I will make backup for you
Until I´m not 100% sure which block it is I will not replace stock recovery against cwmr.

I don't know how to determine the block name my handset's recovery... how do I know that? Thanks...
my fear is, that we both have problems for flashing.
The unlock code for the bootloader you can get from huawei directly.
I tried this on my European version, but this will not be offered from Huwaei ( only chinese versions).
So I´m still not able to flash chinese Rom (b191) or any other Miui or Lewa Rom ,...
I also confirm the lack of bootloader unlock request in Huawei's website.
What did you do to get the bootloader unlock code? Did you send an e-mail? Where?
I also find myself in a dead end, because I try to get a backup of the current ROM in the phone, connect succesfully through adb (downloaded drivers from here ) however following instructions from here:I can not connect the device with "fastboot devices" (i get to Huawei Device devices in windows device manager with yellow exlamation mark and the phone has been booted in a pink background, i think this is the bootloader mode because I have done it with all three buttons, power, vol+, vol-). Do you think this is a locked bootloader problem?
Late reply and updates
Hi,
Sorry for not following post, (i think i accidently turned off the option to inform me of new replies via email)
I tried emailing to both the german support email and the chinese, chinese support email gave me no reply even though i mailed them 3 times, but german one did and said that my phone is from china so they can't provide any support,
I tried to talk to them on facebook and local Huawei support center, facebook, no help, though someone else was willing to him and thanks to him poiting to way how to install english super use i am able to see almost all system messages in english, and as for the local support, since its not launched here they said they can't do anything,
The problem at hand was that it was not launched any where else, so no english version firmware i could find,
I almost bricked phone when i played with the "sorry forgot name" sytem file where it said to include the contact mismatch to 10 so that i can see the contacts name in the messages (its from china so least match is 11) and thanks to my luck i was able to upgrade firmware to b191 from b180 on 3rd try and since then i am scary cat to do anything with phone,
and now i read that its being launched in UAE, so looking forward if they put new firmware download on english website, (hoping they dont wait for an update to put it on website and put the current stock one)
please update me if you can get your hands on new english firmware , ty

I send a short Email to [email protected] asking for the unlock code on saturday 7-12-2013.
Dear sir/madam,
I tried applying for a bootloader unlock code at unlock url which I cannot post because of XDA forum restricting me, but my device (Ascend G525) was not listed. I supply the data via this mail in the hope to get a bootloader unlock code via this way instead.
Product Model: Huawei Ascend G525

That's the good news, the bad news is that as far as connecting to my device I got as far as you got. As I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 64bit I added the usb rule needed for Huawei devices. It shows up when I execute "./adb devices". When I boot into hboot/fastboot mode by pressing the volume buttons and the on button I get the pink screen, but it does not show up when I run "./fastboot devices".
Anybody who knows how I can get fastboot to connect to a Huawei G525?
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------
My bad, I thought I was starting the device in fastboot mode, but the pink screen denotes the download mode. I looked up the instructions to start the device into fastboot mode at sigmakey[dot]com. The complete list of steps that I followed were
Remove battery for >= 10 seconds
replace the battery
hold volume down and power button
when the screen locks on the Huawei logo you're in fastboot mode
connect the device via USB
run:" fastboot devices" and see if it's listed
run: "fastboot oem unlock [unlockcode]"
HUAWEI ASCEND G525 bootlock?
Got my phone 6 days ago. Rooted it.
Third day I messed it up by deleting languages (stupid, but selected them with a cleaner & removal tool).
I formatted a micro sd card, downloaded original firmware, started up in the installation mode but while busy unpacking, "installation failed".
Is it because of a bootlock? or is it something else.
Is there an boot unlocker for download for the G525? The phone doesn't start up, so I can only work out of the boot menu or sd card.
All tips are welcome.
try again

Where did you buy your phone from? Mine is from china , the bootunlocker is required to install custom rom (what i came to conclusion, from forums etc, corrsct me if it isn't the case), or rom other than compatible one, my has CHN in its firmware name and the firmware from chinese sites can only be used to update chinese firmware, i wanted to install the german firware for google play(now i achv through apk) and msg and phone number string match(Still found no soluton for it).
Now coming to your issue, i accidently deleted a system file too and phone won't start, so i downloaded firmware , copied the update folder as instructed in the pdf with it, but installation failed, being desperate, i tried again and again , and it would fail some point during extraction, but then on 6th or 7th attempt the file went threw, so either take your phone to support center best solution i would say, or try installing it a few times, try using a different sd card with better speed, but sorry cannot give a conclusive solution. ( Haven't messed with phone again )

I live - and bought mine - in Holland (the Netherlands).
I downloaded firmware too but when in download mode and with SD card in, the update stops ("Update failed").
How did your rom/firmware come trough? By updating from sd card or by downloading update directly from sd card?
Which firmware or rom did you download?
Ask Huawei support center
Hi,
First is there no support center for Huawei in your area ? In my case i got the mobile as gift from china and since this model G525 is not launched in my country, the support center refused on any support regarding firmware, so i went to chinese site http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/ and got the firmware from there, my previous firmware was B180 and then i updated it to B191 (currently available on china site).
Second where did you download the firmware from ? Because when i was trying to install the firmware from europe or us etc, (main reason the contacts least string match issue) , i could not find any firmware file on those sites, i went through all the sites, I even emailed german support , and they refused that they don't have any firmware, duh, because my mobile IMEI was not in their data base , (no ****), i do manage to find one posted by someone while going throw forums, but it failed to install, which lead me to believe i need bootunlock code
As for the update is concerned, I am not sure what are you asking about updating from SD card or downloading from SD card ? The only method Huawei G525 have is to download file to computer, extract it, put the update folder in the formatted sd card and then start the phone with volume keys so it start downloading file from sd card and then update firmware. Even the option from the settings to update firmware requires the same, just that , phone start itself in download mode and start the same process.
Like i said i don't have a specific answer why the update is failing, but most probably because the firmware you are trying to install does not support the current you have, I don't know why the hell they would put a restriction in update package to lock down it with previous firmware region. Since you might not know which firmware you previously had the new one might not support the old version, like B191 requires to have B182 or higher version, (wtf) mine came with B180, and there is no B182 or higher available for download, so it could be your phone has old firmware, not supported by current, so all i can say is better take it to customer service, and ask them for help,
and the method i mentioned is was just hit and trial, i was just desperate, so i kept phone pushing to update it.
Let me know if you find any better solution or how to install other firmwares

Thanks for this Link.
Since a lot of weeks and a lot of bricks I’ve tested this solution. You don’t need an unlocked bootloader or rooted phone, you just have to pay 15€.
Before testing be sure you have the full firmware of your phone to go back if you need so.
You need :
DC-Phoenix
full firmware NXT-L29432B320
15 € credit for www.dc-unlocker.com
You will first use :
DC Phoenix New Account (it costs 15 euros for 15 credits to use for 72h after initial flash (small price to pay compared to sending to repair shop or having a useless brick)
An UPDATE.APP at your choice for your phone (AL10 or L29, both are interchangeable) -
This file with partition rework and factory firmware -*DOWNLOAD*
1. Make sure you have at least 30% of battery.
2. Open DC Phoenix and login with your credentials.
3. Put your phone in fastboot mode (Vol. - + Power).
4. Select «fastboot mode» in DC Phoenix and then go to the «IMG FILES» tab.
5. Select the «NXT-AL10_M00A102_Factory_firmware_Global_Nonspecific_A ndroid_6.0_EMUI_4.0» file and hit Open.
6. Click on «Update» and be patient. This should take 10 minutes.
7. Follow the log on the left. When it says «writing success», reboot your phone (Vol. - and Power until display goes off). The phone should normally boot into a Chinese-like ROM.
This would install a factory firmware, erase all data and re-partition your phone, after that you would be able to install a new ROM.
My phone was mate 8 DL00 3/32Go and was with NXT-C900B180, no update OTA.
8. Put your phone back in fastboot mode and select the «APP FILES» tab in DC Phoenix.
9. Select your UPDATE.APP, from the zip file you've downloaded, and hit Update. Be patient. This may take up to 20 minutes.
10. Again, look at the log for «writing success» line and then reboot your phone.
Now my phone is NXT-L29C432B320 and a new update is immediately available NXT-L29C432B330
Big thanks to djmitza222 who posted THE tuto to unbrick mate 8.
I was looking for a trick to change my international ROM by european one, I’ve tested his post and work's with a full firmware ROM. :silly:
If your phone is bricked see djmitza222's tuto
Just few minutes later I've received NXT-L29C432B560, donwload, install, reboot.
All seem's to be :good:
Whait and see
Hello,
I followed your guide, i'm started from NXT-C900B180 (unlocked) and at the finish I have NXT-C900B320 (!?!).
Where was I wrong? Are you sure that the zip NXT-L29C432B320.zip contains actually NXT-L29C432B320 ?
Thank you

Yes I'm sure zip contains NXT-L29C432B320, perhaps you must change oeminfo before, to be EU.
I've done this and after, unroot and install zip file with dc-phoenix.

Yes there is a guide (google is your friend ), but after you have unlocked and rooted your phone you just have to use SrkTools and change oeminfo.
See this tuto : How to switch to use stock firmware from other models
at SrkTool prompt use menu 7 and 9, choose mate 8 and eu ( 432 )
Some time you need to do reset factory default after changing oeminfo, just check after modification like test below.
I think your phone don't have vendor info, when you use this code *#*#2846579#*#* and network information query / vendor country info
If all is good you must see :
Vendor Country Info
Vendor: hw
Country: eu
Have a nice day

I think it's possible but you must Choose factory firmware for your phone in phoenix data base :
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/huawei-android-phone-flashing-factory-image
After flashing the factory firmware, all would be erase on your phone (exept oeminf and IMEI, so you must unlock your bootloader, root your phone and change country with SrkTools) and you should flash full firmware for L09 with the country you would like to have.
Flash a firmware just before the new one ( for exemple if the latest is B560 take the full B330 or 320), so you should test if OTA update works fine.
I've only tried the tuto at the top of the thread.

Sorry, I don't know what is happening.
My bootloader was unlocked and after the upgrade with DC Phoenix it was already unlocked.
I've found this :
u can fix it using the HCU tool to repair or reinstate serial/imei but you have to have that information at hand..once done repairing you can proceed to read the bootloader code using the same tool..at fastboot, the phone may already show that bootloader unlocked but all you have to do is unlocking the bootloader again using code received from HCU tool, via fastboot oem unlock XXX.

So i will get a Leagoo S8 phone next week, switching from a redmi note 3, and i am planing to root it instantly becouse i heard there are some bloatware apps and i will instal a custom rom onto the device.
Upon searching the forums and the interwebs i found no tutorials / resources that would lead me in the right direction. I did find a tutorial for Leagoo M8 ROM on here but will it work on S8?
So i hope anybody here can help me.

I have a Leagoo T5c, and I found that option in Developer settings too, so if it is self-explanatory, then bootloader should be unlockable, right? I too would like to root my phone, but contrarily to the S8, that uses a MediaTek SoC, mine uses a brand-new SpreadTrum chip, and I'm not sure it can rooted at the moment.

less heat, less lag, camera less grainy indoors (before was grainy but great outdoors, now its both great) curved display was fix(no need for rounder apps) but i was still unable to root the phone (would be great if it was rooted so i can remove apps rather than disable them and tune things up)

found this but not sure if this will work on our devices (leagoo s8,s8 pro) but if you have downloaded the firmware you may flash again if you bricked it. try at your own risked. it says there how to back up root and port twrp for ur device.

can you confirm if the boot-verified.img
inside the firmware of leagoo s8 that i download can be used for magisk to be patch and flash it through adb? thanks
From what Ive found, modifiing any of the boot or recovery files will screw up some verification, then youll have to format and flash the whole rom again possibly getting a NVRAM Warning error. So, does anyone know a way to verify(?) the edited files (boot.img -> build.prop(or default.prop?)), or any workaround? Also, I think that the bootloader kind of worked in the Leagoo OS version that came with the phone (althrough, I tried to unlock the bootloader then, it showed YES/NO and warnings like on any good phone, except that the YES selection did NOTHING, the bootloader stayed locked no matter what), havent you guys by any chance updated from Needrom?(I did) I think that the newer version had removed the bootloader completely. Someone should post the first stock rom version if you have it.

I think that in order to flash any modified files, we need to generate/verify all of the files.
Anyone any ideas? What file/s is/are the key to verifying flash files? Or is there a code somewhere in every flash file (recovery-VERIFIED.img, boot-VERIFIED.img)?
Why is Leagoo so damn good at making those things hard to unlock. As I said before, in the 1. version you could at least access (broken) fastboot, now the phone just turns off when accessing fastboot.
latest firmware with user debug possibly can extract root
latest firmware userdebug..possibly root solution can be extract..

Hi,
I am a little new and don't really know about this subject but :
I purchased a new phone : a Gome K1.
This is not tablet but phone. This is a new brandt. This a MTK (MT6757).
For the story, it came to me with chinese ROM, all menus in chinese
I asked to the seller to give me a ROM with playstore and french. They done it.
I flashed their new ROM with a proprietary flash tool. Now I have a android 6 ROM with Playstore, french menus. Well !
But I'd like to know if there is a way to root it, and install a TWRP :
The ROM came with bootloader locked and no recovery. It is entirely blocked.
No way to unlock bootloader via the general way (fastboot oem unlock --> unknown command)
I read some articles that deal with spflashtool and porting TWRP, but I'm new to this and I don't think I will be able to make all these steps correctly to flash a TWRP ...
Does someone has an idea ?
Is my post on the good topic ?
Up, does someone have an idea of how to root it ?
Hello,i also have a Gome K1 phone and I am also interested at rooting it.
There is an ' OEM unlocking option' under the developers option in the settings, have you tried that yet?
If you managed to import twrp and rooted the phone can you pls send here the steps, Thanks
Hello, happy to not be alone with this phone ...
Yes I tried everything, after enabling unknown source, OEM unlocking and USB Debugging developer options :
- All root apks
- all existing root kits using ADB
- Method with a linux distro to access Phone filesystem as root ( cannot see my phone ... )
Now I'm trying to use SP flashtool last version, but even that cannot correctly access the phone to Readback my recovery : there is BROM error, so I think that phone is not compatible with the phone (seen on a forum ...)
So if someone has an idea, he is welcome

When I contacted them, they send me a non rooted custom ROM which embed Google Apps and All language, AND another flash tool.
This flash tool seems to be based on SP flash tool. It seems to have restrictions (no readback ability ...).
I'm not able to backup anything with this tool or with SP flash tool.
Whis spflashtool, when clicking ReadBack, I power off my phone, and plug USB cable.
It begins the process but I immediatly encounter a BROM error :
ERROR: status_brom_cmd_send_da_fail (0xC0060003)
I read a post which indicate to try to plug usb cable when pressing Power plus Volume Up, but I don't think it can work, because I know that their tool works without that operation.
So now I'm still stuck here. Does someone have an idea ?
Hi
On the Russian forum 4pda, the topic GOME K1 we are also discussing and trying to solve the problem of a locked bootloader. So far no results. ROOT is also not yet possible to get.
I've also ported twrp for GOME K1, but there's no point in installing it until the bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise we will get a brick.
Hi
In Developer options there is a setting to unlock bootloader, it's the third toggle down.
Hope this helps.

No, it's not working. This switch does not affect the boot loader state.

Hello vsxby,
I was successful in flashing custom ROM that vendor uploaded for me.
So I thing I can flash just the recovery with their tool. I'm not an expert, so I'm just a little affraid to follow a guide to port a TRWP for Gome K1 and try to flash it, since it can brick the phone.
If you want, I can't send you a copy of their tool they sent to me (SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe) ...

Thank you, but I already have this tool. As I wrote before flashing TWRP we need to unlock the bootloader. While this is not impossible to do. But one of our users on 4pda is going to ask the manufacturer to unlock bootloader. In case of success, I will inform you.
If you want to experiment and flash TWRP with a locked bootloader, I can give you the TWRP I made, but I warn you, it's not safe.
Bro,Can you upload the firmware and tools to google drive or something like? It will be very helpful for dealing with this mediatek replica phone(aus6757_66_m),i got some possible factory test MTK AOSP,but the link expires ：（

We were unable to contact the manufacturer and the moderators of the official GOME forum do not have this information. At the moment, there are no solutions to this issue.

I used your tools in the windows 10 lap. and also in the windows 7 lap but it was useless. I am going to try the procedure in the windows 8.1 lap. can you tell me exactly how you flash your phone with that tool ?

In case you guys know already, the android 10 has been released for the F907N
I cant find any thread for the F907N so I just opened a new one so that you guys can come and discuss!!!
Thanks!!!
what you think of the update so far
I can tell its good!!!
Very smooth, stable!!!
Especially the full screen gesture!!! No you can access the phone from any corner, any side of the phone (thanks to the One UI 2.1)
For the other aspects, android 9 is good already so this one just somehow improved it!!!
yes the performance is good, phone has become smoother and more buttery. I just wish I could have managed to get Samsung members for India and Samsung pay, I am in India and Korean language is something I dont understand,
anybody guide for rebrand 900n to inter rom, or just debloat korean apps is quite annoying
Hi all,
I already posted this query in another form, but maybe this form seems to be the right place.
I have the Korean version FOLD 5G SM-F907N. I am having problem in receiving 5G signal in UAE although all setup is done with coverage.
Will I be able to install the Stock Firmware? Which one I should install? is installing European version a possibility? (i.e. SM-F907B or others) or I will run the risk of bricking the device?

I would like to do the same too, tried to find info on this -- but nothing much on it. Does the Euro one also seem to get more monthly patches?
While I note the PDA is the same, we're one month behind on the patches as we speak. Also, Korean bloatware is annoying.
Did you have any luck?

First unlock its bootloader. Select OEM Unlocking from Settings → Developer Options, then reboot to Device Unlock mode to actually unlock the bootloader. This will have the side-effect of resetting the device.
unzip the downlaoded file and flash through odin. and then install Magisk application for root.

How To Unlock Bootloader of Samsung Galaxy Fold
Open your device settings and head towards the about phone section
There click on the built number for 6-7 times until the pop up shows “You are a Developer now”
Now in your smartphone’s settings open Developer options
In the Developer, option menu look for the OEM unlocking
Switch the OEM unlocking ON and switch off your device
While switched off try to reboot your phone into the download mode by pressing and holding the power and volume down button for sometime
Once in the download mode, long-press the volume up button, this will unlock your bootloader
Now if you wish to install a custom ROM on your device you have to bypass the Vaultkeeper security, to do so go through the initial setup
Enable developer options again from the settings, and verify that the OEM unlocking option still exists and switched on! The VaultKeeper service will automatically remove the conditions from the bootloader after it verifies that the user has enabled the OEM unlocking option.
Now your custom firmware will be installed easily and your bootloader will be unlocked finally.
While switched off try to reboot your phone into the download mode by pressing and holding the power and volume down button for sometime
Once in the download mode, long-press the volume up button, this will unlock your bootloader
Not working for me. In download mode when long press volume up key nothing happen
