Huawei AscendY H866C ROOTED!!! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Huawei Ascend Y H866C ROOTED!!!
If you have been lurking the posts on google for a root for the phone, you are just like me, so i
decided to learn some things. I contacted GiantPune and we worked together applying this root:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/k9b3ks
download poot, install it let it download and install ministro,
start poot,it will then start ministro
Ministro will create some libraries,thats ok.
Poot will then start, make sure to press the poot button and then it will give you some code
At the end of the code somewhere in there it should say sucessfully found and wrote su.
press the built in rootcheck to see if you are rooted
restart the phone go to the playstore and download Superuser.
You are now fully rooted!
All the thanks goes out to GiantPune for his awesome and funny creation.
Let me know if this works and if I helped you,please press the thank you button!

It worked great, I've been watching the forums for a root for almost 3 months. I'm new to this, but I believe I could write a book over the things I've read. I do have one question what is the next thing I need to do? Once again thank y'all for making a flawless way to root. Billy

few questions
Now i have read that many have achived root on the ascend Y H866C. What I have not seen if its there a way to go back if you mess up.
#1 Just for example.. i use dto own a galaxy precedent.. and if i messed up i could just go back and do a clean stock restore.. is that possible with the ascend Y?
#2 Once i achieve root.. is it possible to create a partition to install more apps and remove blotware apps ? and what apps or programs i need to create the partitions?
#3 many have mentioned about holding the up and down volume while holding the power button.. what does that doo? and do you do that once you are rooted or before? I have tried while the phone is off and on but nothing happens.
I really want to root my phone but if i brick i just want to know i can restore back to stock at least.
Thanks in advance to all the great devs and the smart people that make this possible.
Regards,
Pryma

Bump?? can anyone please help the ascend Y H866C community!

It's not very difficult.
Go to the previous page (page 4). Download the Poot posted by that guy that I still need to send a donation to (I promise I will, I have to wait until the first of Feb. when I have money).
1. Save Poot to the SD card.
2. Download and install SuperUser (or SuperUser Elite if you want, but it's not necessary to pay for SU Elite).
3. Run Poot. It will need to download Ministro II. Accept the download and just let Ministro II download/install.
4. Let Ministro II install the QT packages it needs.
5. If you want, Reboot the phone (press and hold power button, select restart), but I don't think it's necessary.
6. Run Poot again, it will give you a success or failure message. If you did everything right, it will give you a success.
SuperUser or SuperUser Elite is necessary just for the root. I don't know about ClockWorkMod other than that CWM does NOT (the last time I checked) have a mod that supports Huawei H866c. Now if you do get a mod on there, you don't need SU or SU Elite (most of the time).

Now I followed the above exactly and it appears to have worked. Here is what my screen looked like once done.
I tried to rotate the pics but could not do it had to retake. if its really necessary ill rotate them for ya.
It wont let me put links for the images or for other posts. I will update the post when i have the ability to
Hope this helps others in know that it does work. Now all we need if someone is willing to assist in making a stock recovery so we can go back to stock and make partitions for more space for more apps. Anyone out there can assist the H866C community please?

I'm fairly new to the android scene but have become very interested quite quickly once I started to learn more. I have managed to root my phone & get rid of google+, google maps, etc. I actually even uninstalled Google Play at one time & managed to get a version I found on KAT to load off of sd card with no problems so far, but still quite small internal memory. I read in my research about possibly being able to "trick" the phone into thinking the sd card were part of internal memory, is this real? Using Root All To SD I've managed to create and mount a 512mb external SD memory but can't get anything to move to it. Still never seems like I can get internal memory above 30. Any suggestions on how I could better unlock my phone to it's full potential?

hi ditch. Im on ths asme boat with you man. I saw your post on the other forum as well. Its frustratin to think that the H866C is not thriving as a great phone which i think it is! Im really hoping that other developers come to our rescue.
Im willing to pay someone to get a ROM going so we can partition and recover back to stock. Please PM me devs!! we really need your help!
Thanks in advanced

Pryma

I couldn't agree more, the phone seems to be a really good phone (except the internal memory problem). It's just getting to the point now that I feel I must ask if it's something I should wait around on or if it would be in my best interest to get my money back and try to get a different phone instead.

Right now it seems like things are not looking good. For now im keeping my phone which is still functioning very well. Im keeping it in the hopes that someone comes and helps us resolve this issue.
TO ALL XDA DEVS! PLEASE HELP US OUT WITH THIS PROJECT. WE CAN WORK OUR A MONETARY DONATION TO THE SITE OR WORK OUT THE DETAILS! PLEASE HEAR OUR CRY FOR HELP.
that might be overkill and some might not like it but I just feel that they gave up on us. maybe because the phone is too hard or difficult to crack. I could not say or even imagine since im not proeffcient in this sort of things. However i think something could be arranged if they are willing for work with us. would you be willing to assist in payment or donation if they work on this for us ditch?
regards,
pryma

I posted questions on a couple sites & on one I got this is return:
Apps/scripts such as A2SD and Link2SD would work for you to accomplish that, however, I believe you'd have to have a custom recovery, as A2SD is a script that must be flashed from recovery, and while Link2SD doesn't need to be flashed, both require you to also partition the SD card and use one of the partitions for app storage. You might be able to use Link2SD without recovery though, if you partition your SD card on a PC.
As a matter of fact, I just found a guide that will probably get you through with little or no fuss:
(there was a link for a Link2SD tut here but I'm a noob so no outside links yet)
from BlastGT1 at UnleashedPrePaids
I've gotten a second partition made but still am having some trouble with linking apps to it. Hope this helps us on our journey somehow.

To all xda devs! Please help us out with this project. We can work our a monetary donation to the site or work out the details! Please hear our cry for help.

Using Link2SD I've managed to install about 70 apps and still have roughly about 60mb of internal storage left as long as I keep my cache cleaned up. So for now I'm doing much better than before. Custom ROMS would be great (don't get me wrong) but defeating the internal memory problem is a win for me. Thank you everyone for the help so far.

[GUIDE]For Starters(Newbies)

NOTE: Noob is not a really good word. kinda discriminating. newbie better.
THIS will GUIDE how to get on foot if your just starting on Galaxy Y, most probably, ANDROID
1. First Things first. Know your Phone. before doing anything, just be on the stock for a while. Know all the things, settings, install some app and alike. This way, you'll know your way through. See apps like market, Maps and others, check bugs etc.
2. Second part is knowing a basic tweak of your phone, to be exact: BATTERY SAVINGS. Know your way from this apps. See how they handle your battery life. The purpose of this is to know the performance of your phone
3. So you feel much better knowing your phone, you can start rooting or installing some replacement apps Go, ADW, Pansi, Popups, keyboards its up to you. But i dont recommend instant rooting when your just getting on foot.
Rooting wont brick the phone, maybe but its in the least.
(I wont be giving links for many threads here are available already. Its hard just to give you everything when researching can't kill one)
WHAT IS ROOTING?
rooting gives you access to the system of your phone. thats it
Soft ROOT-stated in the above
Hard ROOT-gives you access to the commander of the system which allows you to access the device via shell extensions and ADBs
4. Same as step 1. See how does root work for you. Dont just access the system right away using an explorer. look for apps that can help you achieve your desired goal that requires root access. a good start would be RAM tweaks.
5. Removing apps that you dont need. Its the power of Rooting that grants you this. basically, it improves RAM usage and speed of the device especially when "app-example.apk" initiates on its own. ofcourse it increases the capacity of your device.
6. KITCHENS. for a start you can use the UOT kitchen which allows you to modify some parts of the device. as far as i know, mods like transparency, lockscreen and bootanimation wont work on stock dont ask why coz i dunno sorry. so using this kitchen can allow you to change statusbar appearance pull down notif bar, etc.
but, the MAIN concern of a KITCHEN is ROMS.
ROM is the thing that the device reads for it to run properly.
ROM development are for making a benefit that can help a device achieve its fullest performance. Speeding it up, etc.
You can see the Development Page for it
**EXTRAS:
FLASHING
Flashing is a way of updating or down-dating your device.
Odin is the tool used in it.
If KIES wont let u update. Flashing would be good but you just have to download the firmware you want.
PARTITIONING.
since SGY got a small memory for internal, u can use partitions in the SDcard to let it handle some memory for you.
BOOT recovery:
it is where you flash mini updates like rooting CWMod, UOT kitchen mods and others
**Clockworkmod recovery / CWM is a custom CWM it has additional features moreover see for yourself
i guess thats it ill just edit it if somethings new comes
THIS IS FOR NEWBIES, no noob persons exist: ONLY NEWBIES.
hoped this helps you can just PM me for assistance but for now please bear with this simple guide thanks
PS: im no dev but as soon as i got my laptop ill start im just using a netbook and my phone for learning. so thanks

sure thing but it would be really better if you read some threads here. a lot of those stuffs are already here
1. download the rom you needed/wanted
2. download odin v1.85 w/ totoro.pit
3. turnoff phone remove sim + sdcard
4. open odin and put the files into:
boot
pda
csc
modem
something like that. put there the files you downloaded.
check if re partition etc are checked
then now get the data cable, and put the phone into DL-mode
(HOME+VOL-DOWN+POWER) hold till it boots into DL-Mode
pressing VOL UP- continue
VOL DOWN- Cancel
press the vol up so and youll be on DL mode
connect the cable wait for it to be recognized by the Odin, if ok pray and start.
just takes around a min to do so. the phone then reboots automatically. do a hard rest and boot again.
voila
since your a filipino you can check symbianize.com for infos. reading some guides there by our masters will surely help you
*so as the rules say here read threads first before asking though its ok for me. it would be nice if i'd helped you bro

hey,
my girlfriend has a moto defy and im quite in to getting it going to display its full potential as i am sure the this device is not great in its stock state and it seems to have some dugs e.g. freezing a lot etc... you all know what i mean haha. she has not quite grasped the fact that the device will be 1000 times better with a nice build of cm7 but i am having issues with the bootloader and installing cwm based recovery so can you guys give me a step by step guide on how to get this going i would like to see how it takes ics and if they have fixed the issue with the hardware accelerator
thanks a lot if you can help p.s. can you send me the message on the private message option as i will be over at the p6200 tab plus section and not on er haha
Okay.
EDIT2: ***Im tired** sorry. We need root too!
Use superoneclick to root.
Because i've had to edit twice, it's better you read this LOL
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/root-motorola-defy
So, first you need to get ADB. EDIT: This is unecessary! But useful anyway!
This is quite a long process, so follow this guide
Next, you need to get 2nd init, this installs a custom recovery app, which you use to get CM7. Just install the app on the phone, and press install 2nd init.
When it reboots, press the volume key when the LED flashes blue for a couple of seconds.
It is attached.
Okay, now find your chosen rom (plenty on here)
Download it, and put it on your sd card, then install using 2nd init.
Don't forget to follow all instructions!

[Q] Stock camera not working [LG Optimus Me P350]

Let me give you a little background.
Few days back, I rooted my phone. Then I used Titanium Backup to uninstall apps which I thought were not useful like LG TV, Email- should not have done that
Then the phone was somehow did not boot. I looked up internet and tried something- got worse: Emergency mode with yellow screen. Went ahead to a local phone repair shop and he exploited me well to hand me back the phone in working condition
NOW... the problem is camera does not work. It shows a black screen everytime I launch it. Going in Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All , Camera shows 0 bytes !
Searching on internet I found that I should not have uninstalled the Email app.
Please share some ideas on how I can help myself here. Any help will be appreciated.
PS- I am using Ubuntu on my computer and Froyo.
Holy hell! I had the same problem a long time ago! (Except no uninstalling was involved) It forced my dad to buy me a new phone.

So far there has been no solutions

Try installing a custom rom, like cyanogenmod
There are multiple ROMs for the LGOME and they have been behaving as any other ROM for any other phone.

download custom recovery then
boot you phone into fastboot by pressing vol up + call + power button then use
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
then
fasboot reboot
then download any custom rom that you want and flash that
it will solve your problem
ps: do a google search for more info on fastboot use

Cleaned thread.
OP, I would advise, as you ask questions like the one you posted, verify the information posted before you attempt anything. If someone says that if you install a custom ROM on your device, it'll brick; go to the DEV threads, and check out other peoples experiences. You should also spend a ton of time researching before you start messing with your device. MOST of the big trouble people get into is not reading and asking enough questions. If you want to root, find out how to do it, AND how to fix it if it breaks, before you flash a custom ROM, find out how to do it AND how to get back to stock if you need to. The more you learn, the less the chances are that you'll end up in trouble
Just my 2¢

I think I did that mistake earlier. Read something about rooting and went straight ahead to brick the phone. I am hoping to have a clearer understanding of things this time. Since I am newbie, it will take effort. But this forum has so many experts and people are willing to contribute- I am sure I will learn a lot in the company of you guys.
I will dive in the DEV threads as you adviced. Thank you so much guys You are all my Santa Claus

If I use this thread, would it fix my camera ? I am not sure HOW should I install though, but of all the things I have read around here, it seems this might help. Please give your views whether I should go with this
If yes, could you please point me some link with detailed instructions ( the post assumes I know the HOW part ) ?
If you are using Froyo, give a try on it. Follow carefully the steps to how flash a ROM. If you already has an recovery, life is easier. If not, search on net about it =D
Any guides for Ubuntu 12.10

Awesome ! The problem is I do not have access to any windows system and all the guides that are floating around seem to be for that OS. If you happen to know a guide for Ubuntu, kindly share it with me please...

To be honest, I was confused with people talking about Clockwork and Nandroid- and I was stupid enough to try not finding out So, No. There is no recovery but on the bright side, I will do that as the first thing from next time onwards

Universal ROOT in 3 steps - Level: Asian

While searching for a method to root the JB build for the yarvik tablet of my family (usual methods have not been successful), i stumbled upon the following Windows based method that now i want to share and should work with a lot more devices:
On your PC:
1. Install USB/ADB drivers from your manufacturer's website
2. Install & connect via http://www.moborobo.com Management Tools, loads own device specific ADB-drivers
3. Download & install this Chinese piece of software from http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
Further steps obsolete, because they're offering an english Root-Tool now.
But for the sake of completion, they will remain here:
In case you don't understand what you do:
- On Website press blue download-button with arrow pointing downwards
- During Installation uncheck every checkbox except the one that grays out the next-button upon unchecking
the download has been a bit slow for me (10kb/sec), if it fails or the take it offline: drop a comment, perhaps i can share the setup file somehow
4. On your device: turn on USB-debugging
On your PC:
5. Run Moborobo Software, then plug your device to USB-Port, wait until Moborobo has recognized it (in my case i had to click some dialogues...)
6. Run freshly installed software from Shuame.com (titled Ë¢»ú¾«Áé in my start menu)
7. When shuame-Logo appears on your device's screen, head on the windows-software towards the 4th icon in the top row; on the appearing screen click on the 4th icon in the 2nd icon-row (the android with some chinese signs + ROOT as title)
on your device:
8. download SuperUser (or superSU) from Market or install via other sources (if not already done)
9. replace asian root / su files (recognized as older versions) with newer ones by SuperUser or superSU
10. delete 2 chinese shuame-APKs from /system/apps directory or uninstall via Titanium Backup
11. => you're done.
if more than 10 People complain they can't find the right button's to click
then i'm willing to post a few screenshots...
else: have fun!

Thank you sir, gonna try this later.
No, i didn't see any custom recovery for this tablet, I think that it's because it's pretty new. But until now i love it. The only thing i saw was a "blank" forum thread on another forum which i can't recall right now, but i think you already saw that, if not i'm gonna link it to you.

Hello,
Bit of feedback on your guide. Could benefit other Slate users
First I tried only using my adb drivers and skipped Moborobo, but I got a blank screen with what looks to be half of the right side of the notification bar is darker. So I rebooted and all was well.
I used Moborobo and it found my device and I used Shuame and it looked to be going well until I reached the point of encryption. So the software says press the right so I do and then it rebooted. There was no root and on screen it is asking me to press the blue button again as the green bar was only half so I did. This then put me on a boot loop. I booted into recovery and rebooted to system. It worked. So the screen was still spinning trying to do something and then out of no where it rebooted and same again with the darker area. So I unplugged and rebooted and it worked. I got root.
Now just for the tricky part of removing these Chinese files lol.
Good guide mate. Thank you very much.

Well that's a problem for me, if i get that ..( i got black screen twice, I thanked god it wasn't bricked, and decided to not try it again... Lucky third? Either bricked or rooted, not going to give it a go ) )

If you follow what I did mate you will get root. Its scary but I got it in the end. Its safe to use.. as long as you get in recovery you can save your device.
I have the problem of adding in English SuperUser. When I do and install binary I loose root.
Could someone detail how to do this correctly please? I will still be searching and trying.

Sixaxis controller
Hi All
I have been running trunderROM 800 v2 for a while now and I am very happy with it thanks to shaheer and everyone involved for taking the time to make this amazing rom.
I'm having trouble with the sixaxis controller app.
It will connect to the tablet if I run the app with in the first 30 seconds of rebooting but then it will drop out after period of time sometimes hours sometimes just minutes.
The rest of the time it will just hang on listening for controller.
It seems that a something is cutting the connection when it runs in the background and stops the connection being made once it is running. If I connect it within the first 30 seconds everything works for a time, then the red light turns off on the ps3 controller but the app still says that it's connected.
I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issue with this rom and app?
I'm not sure if this is a rom issue or not but it seems to me that it might be as it does work to a point and then stops.
I would be grateful for any help or ideas on how to fix this.
Many thanks Richie
Fix

Guys this one was an easy fix... all you have tto do is force close quick connect.
Bam it works.
Samsung quick connect. Force close and disble then you'll be able to connect your controller.

All sorted found a quick fit thanks to steelsabre. I can fly my AR Drone again
But quick connect keeps running after I force close and dropping the ps3 controller. Is there anyway to stop it for good or would I have to uninstall it?
thanks again

Soooo... sorry in advance, but I am a total newb when it comes to android. I just got the tab s yesterday and have never had an android before. I'm excited to get into rooting and I really want to get rid of all this bloatware but before I go off and try something way over my head I was wondering if anyone could help me get this ROM installed. I already rooted following this guide.

No worries man I was a noob to android back in july. Twrp is a custom recovery when you press the home+power+vol up at the same time while the tab is booting. Aroma installer is an installer inside the rom in which you can pick the apps,launcher and few few other settings while installing the rom. It makes the debloated process easyer. To install twrp you must be rooted and search in the play store twrp. Once its downloaded open it and hit install. You have to pick the exact model you have. May I ask what model is your tab s and size? Once you pick your model you will have to hit the install and it well make you download the file needed for the recovery. It then should say its installed and you will have to reboot into recovery. Twrp recovery is a touch recovery in which you can can install roms. To install roms (thunderrom/rom in a zip) You will have to backup everything. You have to hit the backup tab and check/tick every box in which md5 check, compression, data boxes are optional depending on how much memory you have. Now you just have to slide the slider and it will backup everything. It may take a while and you should have your battery charged while doing this. After your backup is done, now is the installing of the rom. You have to clear dalvik and cache before installing it. To do so I forget which tab its in but it should be in advanced. After clearing those you now hit the install tab. Now you have to select the rom you downloaded and it should be in the downloads folder. When its selected slide the slider and it will install it and take you to amora installer. Just pick the things you want and then it will install it and take you back to twrp. Now just hit the reboot tab and tap system. Then the tab s will reboot and have a custom rom. There are also some helpful videos on youtube to help you and if i forget something. Hope this helps! My fingers hurt lol.
I have a question: I understand I need to do a complete back up before flashing any Rom, but to do that don't I need to install a custom recovery. So does that mean I won't be able to put the stock **recovery** back if I need to?

To install that backup you will need the custom recovery. You can get back to stock by flashing the stock recovery img. I dont know exactly how to put back on the stock one but custom recovery is mostly needed to install your backups in case something goes wrong.

Via twrp. Wiped cache, dalvkit, system then flashed, waited 10 min, rebooted and finished first setup. Reflashed on top about 30 minutes ago just to see if it missed some files on the install, but it's still the same.

I love this custom rom but why doesn't the volume on my galaxy tab s work anymore. you can't control it
Google Account Manger crashing on setup
Hey folks!
Flashed this rom (both 2.0 and the beta) and I get the same problem when going through the setup of the tablet. When I get to the screen 'some apps are personalized to the user' or something, I need to enter a name, when I do so I click next and I get the error message 'Unfortunately, Google Account Manager has closed unexpectedly' (my wording might be off, but I assume you guys know what I am talking about).
Would really like to try out this rom, but can't seem to figure out how to fix this issue.
FIXED:
When I put in anything into the name fields, the app crashed. Leaving them blank allows the process to continue.
