[Q] How to root Huawei Mediapad?

Golok · Dec 14, 2011

Looks like the mediapad system rom n radio does not support 4G. Guess you would need to wait for springboard rom.
Follow the long steps to extract system image and put in the su binary in linux. Package it back n flashed it back to ur springboard via fastboot.

Is it possible to include the su binary to the springboard dump seen in one of the forums here ? Me no good with linux.

Just to check either sprinboard fastboot is locked or not.
Do you manage to just straight away flash the mediapad system rom onto the springboard system rom using the fastboot flash system command line ?

Im waiting for my mediapad, so some questions:

Is it possible to restore it to original after rooting it?

Theres two methods in this thread, fastboot (not used that before)
and the dload folder

Is it enough to just update with that folder and its rooted?

I have the Huawei U8800, dont know if the update procedure is the same. (dload folder on sdcard and power up with volume keys pressed)

The 3g should work with any carrier\region?

Golok · Dec 16, 2011

dload method is the easiest

it will replace the whole rom. The prerooted rom got su binary. You wuld need to downlod superuser from market.

Fastboot method only replace the system image so your insalled app and settings would remain.

As far as i know there is no carrier lock on mediapad.it should work on any carrier.

5. mount the image file like these...
#mkdir /mnt/tmp
#mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /mnt/tmp

6. put the "superuser" binary into the path /mnt/tmp/xbin
#cp su /mnt/tmp/xbin

I cannot copy. it is readonly file system

Download boot.img from here:http://bbs.31pad.com/thread-2-1-1.html
flash boot.img use fastboot or alternate boot.img in the update.zip with this then reflash update.zip by puting it in dload directory in tf card.

Then download root_cf.rar from http://bbs.31pad.com/thread-4-1-1.html
unrar it and put sanixupdate directory in mediapad inner card.
restart mediapad.

Recently, I read some reference from some Chinese Forum..
There are Rooted ROMs... and tutorials about how to root by youself..

If you decide to create a rooted rom by yourself..
You need a Linux environment to do that...

Here's how I did mine...
1. First of All, download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0

2. Unzip it, you'll have a folder "dload"
3. Extract the file" system.img.ext4" from the Update.zip
4. Copy the "system.img.ext4" into your Linux Environment..

5. mount the image file like these...
#mkdir /mnt/tmp
#mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /mnt/tmp

6. put the "superuser" binary into the path /mnt/tmp/xbin
#cp su /mnt/tmp/xbin

7. Assgin the correct permission to the su binary
#chmod 6755 /mnt/tmp/xbin/su

8. Unmount the path and copy the system.img.ext4 into the original Update.zip
#umount /mnt/tmp

9. Put the "dload" folder into the root directory of a Micro-SD
10. Power Up your mediapad, when it vibrates, press and hold Volume Down until you see the Android icon, and it will try to flash the new ROM.

11. After everything is done, Look for Super User from Market, you'll see.

For su binary.. you can find it here http://androidsu.com/superuser/

would any developer be kind enough to re package the C232B016 system.img with the SU binary . me no good with linux.

Here you go, find the Superuser apk on the market and install it. Tested and so far so good at the moment. Now I finally get phone screen in portrait mode. Enjoy.

Nice. Thank you.
How did you mount the file? I mounted the img file but was not able to write to it..

jipjoy · Jan 11, 2012

mount -o rw

Actually it didn't work with my Fedora 16 either, I tried quite a few times and almost gone nuts but then I powered up my old Fedora 14 machine and everything went just fine. I guess it had something to do with SElinux or something, any linux gurus on this?

Thank you very much.

Is there any new app bundled with this release.
do they include the phone with this rom ?
