[Q] How to root Huawei U8860(Honor) with Android 4.0

---

Hi, guys,
Yesterday, Huawei released Android 4.0 ICS DEMO for U8860(a.k.a. Huawei Honor), as always I applied this updated immediately. It works fine, although I didn't see much difference from Android 2.3.
Here is a question, Does anybody know how to root U8860 with Android 4.0 safely?
big thanks.

all the links i came across to upgrade to ICS are all 'UPDATE.APP', no zip files.
Huawei doesnt have it on their site anymore. I was hoping you could mirror it or something.

BTW i tried rooting using the method for the U8800, does not work.

hello, we got Root, I can not insert a link (no rights), copy the post:
1. Set the wood on your computer.

2. We enter the engineering menu of the body. (*#*# 2,846,579 #*#*) further ProjectMenu - Background setting-Log setting - Logswitch - LOG on - turn on, return to the ProjectMenu - Damp & Log include all items (total 4 points). Exit and restart ProjectMenu of the body.

3. Connecting to a PC the "Settings" - "Applications" - "Unknown sources" - turn on, then "Quick" - disable, then "Development" - include "Debug on USB" and "left on"

4. On the PC, disable antivirus, run SuperOneClickv2.3.1. and in the upper left corner click "ROOT".

5. On the pop-up windows give the "OK", a window with a proposal where a register just turn it off.

6. The ending of the whole operation will be a few lines (about half the screen) at the end of the last word "OK"

7. Turn off SuperOneClickv2.3.1, then "Options" - "Applications" - "Development" - turn off the "Debug on USB" and "left on" turn on "Quick", disconnected from the PC, restart the body.

8. If done correctly then open desks and one of them will see the icon "Sueruser" versiya3.0.7.

9. Return to its original condition and value of LOG on Damp & Log

PS
A small addition to the previous post, namely, after the root note two folders on the SD card and bugreports sleeplog. Remove the contents. If they continue to be replenished, then go to step 2 do the engineering menu, and then claim 9. Restart the body, clean folder on your SD card.

this is method only for 2.3.5 gingerbread and doesn't work with ICS !
but if you have bugreport in the phone also doesn't work on 2.3.5 gingerbread

i have also bugreport and cannot root the phone anymore ! sd card formated,also phone memory and bugreport is still inside !

Yea I think I my have found one..... Waiting for it to finish downloading if its the one we both seek I will post a link.

EDIT: trying this one now -

1.)Download the bootloader menu tool - recovery-v8.img 5.5 MB megauploadDOTcom/?d=GN3NFEWS
2.)Download this zip 2.3.6 Sorry I can't post links in my first few posts apparently. pm me will email link then someone with more posts can post link.

3.)Turn phone off, Hold down both the volume up AND the volume down keys without letting go also then press and hold the power button. After a while your whole screen should go PINK. your usb cable should already be plugged in and this should mount a usb drive on your computer that you can access. Open it. There will be a file in there called recovery.img , rename it to recovery.old, then copy the recovery-v8.img to this drive. Rename it to recovery.img. Pull out the battery and re-insert.

Boot the phone by pressing and holding only the volume up key and the power button. This should load you into the new recovery image. From here you can load the .zip file from the menu.

Phew.

Its good to have a working phone.

PS its a custom rom thats already rooted and has root explorer installed. NICE! Oh ad you can install google apps from google. just google gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip
