Guide to unlock Huawei Ascend Mate bootloader
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN THIS DOCUMENT WAS TESTED ON MY PHONE.
After playing with my Mate I found a way to unlock the locked bootloader. If your bootloader is unlocked you can flash custom kernel , recovery to your phone.
The files used to unlock the bootloader is from P6 KitKat firmware. These two files are for efi and fastboot partition. Flashing only these partitions can avoid problems with mismatching modem firmware. The process was tested on official B221 firmware , but should work with any firmware. Reflashing a stock firmware(as I know there are only firmwares for Mate only with locked bootloader) with dload will relock the bootloader.
Unlocking process need proper adb and fastboot drivers installed. I use this driver :Huawei handset drivers for windows
Guide in pdf format
If your adb and fastboot drivers are correct you can start unlocking the bootloader.
If you want to unlock the bootloader and install Twrp recovery use this package :Bootloader unlock with TWRP install
Bootloader unlock with TWRP install mirror
This way powering on your phone with volume up button hold TWRP recovery comes up instead of stock 3e recovery. If you want to use the dload method to install a stock rom you have to restore the stock recovery.
Stock B221 fastboot flashable recovery
Stock B221 fastboot flashable recovery mirror
The other package just unlocks the bootloader .Bootloader unlock.
Bootloader unlock mirror.
Turn on USB debugging on your phone (settings->developer settings)
Start the package.
File extraction starts.
Command prompt window should appear.
Your phone restarts in bootloader mode.
Efi partition is flashed.
Fastboot partition is flashed.
Your phone restarts in bootloader mode.
Your bootloader state is displayed. (should say bootloader unlocked)
Your phone restart in normal mode.
This is what the packages do :
.\adb wait-for-device
.\adb reboot bootloader
.\fastboot flash efi efi.img
.\fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
timeout 2
.\fastboot oem get-bootinfo
timeout 10
If it says your bootloader is still locked you can try the following:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
If you want to restore stock rom and recovery here are the packages.
Recovery restore package for B221
Recovery restore package for B907
These packages restores the original efi and fastboot partition and then restores the stock recovery. These packages do the opposite as the unlock bootloader , however my phone stayed unlocked. Also this package solves the problem when the stock recovery stuck at the begining when trying to flash a stock rom using dload method.
WARNING:If you plan to flash a rom not made for Mate , always check that it does not overwrite other partitions then boot, system, data, cust. If the install package reflash the modem do not install it as it can hard brick your device.
For updated versions of permanent TWRP recovery check my thread here
Thanks to surdu_petru for the initial device tree to compile twrp.

Thanks joe....atlast bootloader unlocked..
One more thing i installed Fly UI OS from p6 and replaced with stock HAM boot.img....OS is not booting properly getting lots of FC's...
Does CM10.1 require different kernel or do we need to change any setting?

CM 10.1 may need some change in kernel or/and its config. Init.rc files needs modifications (framework , init.d support) , and it can happen that the init binary need some mods in cm source for proper working.For example wifi firmware path as on g510 . The standard cm init uses 2 firmware path , while the g510 init uses 4 to properly load wifi firmware files.You can check it on my github.
I am planning to compile a cm rom for our device , but the bootloader was the first step.
Awesome news mate ...
Finally someone can make goodies on HAM !
You can take a look also on my CM11 development project for P6, maybe you will make one for HAM !
Good luck !
Nice , very nice
Yes !!! This is best news on Ham. Thanks

Tested and works in B907 Oficial, unlocked bootloader ... Thank you for the contribution
Now this is a great Birthday present for me..
HAM Finally can be UNLOCKED.
i havent try yet but just wanna ask few questions.
1. Since now i'm using Hyd52Rom from Husen, can HAM be Unlocked with this Rom running?
2. Whats the best choice of current rom running for Unlocking?
maybe its sound stupid but its me (non-devs brain and only a user who dare to test..)...
Thanks guys.
You can unlock your phone using any rom. The only thing is needed turned on usb debugging. Of course the drivers on your pc should be installed .
After unlock check my other thread and update your permanent twrp to 2.6.3.2.

It should work on P6 too , but for P6 there are stock roms with unlocked bootloader.(KK beta).
If you want to use it on your P6 , use unlock bootloader only , and flash permanent twrp made for P6.
Of course permanent twrp for Mate will work on P6 as well , but the device identifier will be hwmt1_u06 and not hwp6_u06 which can cause assert errors when you try to flash a recovery flashable P6 rom .
I know. But i search for a way to use this on B125 international. In the CN it is to easy

Hi can anyone advise what the problem could be?
I have been trying to upgrade my Xperia play from Gingerbread to Jellybean and failed,
My handset is Bootloader unlock Status = No, although O2 unlocked the carrier so I could use any carrier.
So when I goto Sony bootloader unlock site the phone will not goto fastboot mode. Just says Waiting
When I open Fashtool I have successfully rooted the phone, but when I try to Flash the phone rather than go into Fastboot mode the just restarts.
I am using Windows 7 64bit.
Any help on getting this done is greatly appreciated

Umm I think only the simlock has been removed. But the bootloader is still locked and cannot be unlocked. and what button are you pressing to go into flashboot?

I have used search button whilst plugining in USB.
Does that mean bootloader is locked, so impossible to unlock?
The sticker on the back of the phone is W46. Read somewhere that using Flashtool may damage the phone.
Thanks in advance

SIM Unlocking the phone inst the same as Unlocking the Bootloader. If you Have Bootloader unlock Status = No you can still unlock your Bootloader via the Test Point method.
If you Unlock your phone with the Test Point method you will not have acces to Fastboot Mode, but you can still Flash Kernels via Flash Mode Using the FTF version of it(insted of a boot.img file).
Look in my signature if you want any FTF kernel.

Just read the instructions for whatever kernel you are using, and same with the rom you want to install.

As above, follow the guide above. Since you unlocked via the testpoint and there's no fastboot, you need to have your kernels in a .ftf file format.
Here's a thread with download links to ftf kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739559
You will need to use flashtool to flash them. The JB ROM can then be flashed via recovery normally.
My Xperia PLAY was locked to O2 as well and testpoint unlocked, and these have been working fine for me so far... although for some reason my phone stopped working with ICS ROMs. GB and JB still works however.
Phone bricked.
I flashed the Lupus JB kernal and then entered recovery menu and deleted formatted and now it just a blank screen as if the phone is off yet plugging in the usb is recognised by computer yet flashtools and Sony companion can't repair or recognise.
Any ideas?
Grover
Exactly what did you delete/format under recovery? All I did was pick the factory reset option, then wiped cache and dalvik cache, and then flashed the ROM and worked fine for me. I'm using version 8 of the kernel however for the extra data space.
Here are the ftf files for the stock original Sony firmware, which you can use to restore your device if flashing goes wrong (.79 is the latest): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43935357&postcount=2
I formatted the file as you did and it came on with a blank lit screen so I flash the default file in firmware a on flash tools to get nothing but a blank dead screen
Any help is greatly appreciated
Grover
1) Download the .79 ftf firmware and place it in Flashtool's firmware folder.
2) Open up flashtool, and plug in the Xperia PLAY in flash mode (hold back button while plugging in USB). Flashtool should report the device is in flash mode.
3) Press the flash button (lightning symbol) and select the stock .79 firmware, then confirm to flash that.
4) Wait for it to finish flashing. Flashtool will then ask you to reboot the device.
5) Unplug the phone and hold the power button until it vibrates. Let go and it should boot back into the stock Xperia software.
It should now be back to stock, and you can attempt to try custom ROMs and kernels again.
Unfortunately this is where the problem lies. Flash tools doesn't recognise that the phone is there hence can't flash it with stock firmware.
It is In a dead state. Is there anyone who offers a service to Unbrick it and what tools are required?
I am not dettered by having bricked my phone, as this is all part of my learning, although I would appreciated a possible fix to Unbrick it.
Thanks in advance

Have you installed the drivers for the phone from the flashtool driver folder? Have a check here on how to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486

All the drivers where installed as per instruction. The phone is in a state of being off all the time no lights or anything.
The only thing that is heard is the usb sound on the computer when it is connected.
Flashtools Sony Companion doesn't see the phone at all.

But my bootloader was unlocked Via testpoint and i have both fastboot mode and flash mode working fine, i install kernels via .img like everyone else and im a r800X cdma user.

Yes, if you unlocked your Bootloader via the test point method for the R800x and the R800i you should have access to Fast Boot Mode. You only don't get access to Fast Boot Mode if you have "Bootloader unlock status: No"(and unlocked via the Test Point Method), witch is about 100% of R800a users.
As above. Sadly, all phones sold from O2 UK have bootloader unlock as no, so the normal way of unlocking won't work and only the tespoint method is avaliable... So no fastboot. Due to that, I buy my phones unlocked and unbranded now. Luckily thanks to the great developers on here we can still root and play around with custom ROMs.
What version of Windows are you using Grover? I'm not sure if it's related but I have problems with adb/fastboot drivers on Windows 8/8.1 with HTC devices. Everything works perfectly on 7 though.
Recently, I tried to install a custom ROM of Android L (beta), which bricked my device (Canvas A1).
My device Neither boots nor able to go to recovery mode or fastboot.
Pressing power button or Power+Volume Up isn't booting anything.
My bootloader is actually unlocked.
So I tried to flash stock ROM using SP Flashing Tool and it downloaded successsfully.
But still not booting.
Is there any other way to unbrick it rather than going to Micromax Service Center??
Thanks in Advance
Problem solved!
Actually, I had used an old version of SP Tools which didn't support MTK6582 scatter configs.
Then v.5.1424 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-a1/development/official-stock-rom-canvas-a1-t2887150 helped me out and I successfully downloaded the stock ROM in meta-mode.
For users who encounter the problem:
First, Install VCOM drivers for MTK devices..
Then install Android CDC Gadget Drivers.
Download the KitKat stock ROM.. (See instructions there)
Use SP Flash Tools v5.1424 from there to download it.
Use both 'download' and 'firmware upgrade' modes to flash.
Other issues after flashing:
Also fixed IMEI issues using http://en.miui.com/thread-10061-1-1.html (Needs unlocked bootloader again)
Fixed Wi-fi error using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486 (Needs root access)
Rooted KitKait using TWRP recovery and installed SuperSu 2.40 without bootloader unlock (doesnot void warranty if warranty present)

History : i've been using an earlier pre-rooted rom for this device and after having taking care of unrooting it, i tried the OTA Update to upgrade and access the TWSP and Garbage rom.
My issue is that as i access the phone in fastboot mode with fastboot and adb i can't acces the recovery mode : the phone reboot to fastboot.
Any hint appreciated

According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
Step 1 to unlock is Update to 2.19.40
I'm on 2.15.40.13 and the OTA fails at the fastboot menu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/orig-development/rom-pre-root-img-t3079590/page51
I forgot this was a pre-root system.img file as explained, no stock system.img provided
I think the recovery limitation was made on purpose to avoid bootloop after OTA.
Looking for stock rom to flash via fastboot
Fixed :
Used cai_dat_CWM Tethered to flash stock rom from Asus Website
UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.18-user.zip from Asus Website
Then again to root with SuperSU246 update from zip
I can see that advice has been offered to download fastboot ROM and flash with Miflash with a relock flag.
I have tried to get the phone recognised in fastboot with adb and fastboot downloaded drivers, but this has not worked.
I have reset the phone removing the Miui account.
Does this work if I have never altered the ROM by installing TWRP? I unlocked the bootloader than never needed to change the ROM as I have been happy with the experience. Now I want to remove the "Unlocked device" at boot.
It looks like drivers problem!
Sorry I need to clarify
I have advanced plus fastboot drivers universal. They don't see the phone.
The Xiaomi driver zip that I downloaded didn't have an exe so I can't install it.
Should I try the miflash even if mi account and twrp is not installed?
Try to install MiFlash on your computer.
The MiFlash installer will automatically install all required drivers.
Download offical full image ROM package and flash it using MiFlash.
Select "clean all and lock" if you wish to lock the bootloader after flashing. Note that don't lock the bootloader if the area code of the ROM you are flashing is different from your bootloader area code, otherwise you will brick your phone.

I can see that advice has been offered to download fastboot ROM and flash with Miflash with a relock flag.

Check whether ur processor is amd or intel because AmD breaks fastboot compatibility
