I was wondering how to root the Huawei U8651T also known as the T-mobile Prism that was recently released.

I've tried using SuperOneClick, but it always freezes on step 7. I've also tried manually applying the zergRush exploit, but it seems to have been patched either on my phone or just Android 2.3.6.

Is it possible to root this phone using the same method as for Huawei U8650 Sonic?

Thanks

Wind Mobile - Huawei u8651t Root and Huawei Sonic CM7.2

The step below works perfectly but I forgot to do a backup of the original Wind Stock Rom in recovery. Could someone please post the Windmobile ROM? Thanks.

Huawei (Astro/Prism) u8651t has the same hardware as Huawei (Sonic) u8650. So the Sonic Rom will work on the Astro/Prism phone.

-------------------------------------

Step 1: google -> crazypig u8651t rom
Step 2: download the CWrevovery and CyanogenMod 7.2 STABLE (2.3.7) 16-06-2012
Step 3: Follow the instruction below

down load CW revober first: CWRevovery

1.Trun off your U8651t and take out the battery
2.Put back your battery, and when you trun it on.Hold on Vol.- and power button
3.connect your U8651t to your computer
4.running Recovery.bat from the files you donwload, when it finshed, U8651t will reboot.
5.Flash any rooted Rom

your can download this Rom CyanogenMod 7.2 STABLE (2.3.7) 16-06-2012

Tmobile Prism (u8651T ) dont boot after CM7

Ok, so i read this

and install sucesfully the CW recovery
so i copied CyanogenMod 7.2 STABLE (2.3.7) . zip

and flashed with the menu on CW
all went fine until that point, when i reboot the phone
i get a white tmobile screen with the logo ( as normal boot before the flash )
then i get the moving CyanogenMod moving logo
after that i get black screen.... no LED.... nothing... just that ( i can see the screen active with a little glow.... but nothing... just lala land for the phone

i need to remove the the battery to make it boot again... but same cycle
after the CyanogenMod screen.... black....

now i got a paper weight... :(
any ideas ?

-------------------------------------------- EDIT
ohhhhh it works now, i wiped off the caches, and user data and it booted now !!!!

I really didn't see where attitude is called for but. Everyone is big on the keyboard.
Either way, maybe your day will get better.

Have a good one.

You're welcome, but I am confused that you're having a prob. Have you run superuser? googleplay?

By the way, you didn't run update on that Cyanogenmod rom did you? Don't, it's already rooted...

Everything else seems to be fine, just the CM Settings. The phone was already rooted, so I didn't run the update again :) I was using a Samsung Dart for a while (rooted and I tried 4 custom roms with that haha) and just switched to the Prism.

Oh I see. If you slide it to a screen, and then execute it there, you get that force close msg. If you click on it in your apps lib it works fine.

EDIT: rats, now mine's not working. trying a reboot...

    Everything seems to be working up to snuff! Only hiccup is when I click on the CyanogenMod settings I get a "stopped unexpectedly" error. Not sure if I even need to do anything with it but I can't even see what options I have.

    On a different note, is there a way I can access the entire internal storage on the phone via a USB connection? With the SD card removed I do not get the USB storage option. I am looking to run some data recovery software on said storage.

    TY; Tom

    Oh that's probably because you flashed the audio and led fixes, those were intended for an older release haha. It won't hurt anything but if you want to get it to work you'll have to flash the rom and gapps again, without flashing the two fixes.

    As for your other question I don't know off the top of my head:confused:

    Summit Rooting

    I cant thank Kris and everyone on this site enough. Rooting the current rom on the summit doesn't seem to add anything. Didn't want to take the chance of trying to add just the gaaps file to the stock rom and possibly bricking it. So I just went ahead and followed Kris' steps in post 10 and they worked perfectly!!!!!! Did mine and my sons phone and WOW did it make a HUGE difference on this phone. It is actually enjoyable now! Can get apps from google store and do a lot more than before. ---IMPORTANT-- Just a heads up for the Summit owners. If you don't have a data plan like me, when the phone first boots up (when you are finished installing everything), push the Android guy and it will automatically start trying to set up your google account (so you can get apps). When that screen appears, before you start, touch the menu button (the one directly next to the home button) and dissable the data. After you do that wait a minute or so a it will pop up with you having no data network and to enable wifi. Set that up and THEN you can set up your google account without a hitch. Again thank you Kris and everyone!!

    IMPORTANT!! ----> The fast boot screen for the summit is just the Huawei boot logo shown at power on! This is different than the T-Mobile screen for the prism!<----IMPORTANT!!

    Well I managed to flash the cyanogenmod rom without a hitch:) So for anyone looking to root the huawei summit (u8651s) and put google play on it which it mysteriously lacks, this is the way to go. Thanks for the great guide!
