I am super disapointed with the lack of interest form the modding community. Kestrel beats MotoG in multiple areas and is a cracking piece of HW. My daily driver now (left my Note 3 as a backup device)
WIth Android 4.2 and Snapdragon 400 onboard, device is plenty fast, I would just like to get CM11 on it for the sake of a pure experience.
I guess rooting is becoming less and less of interest and OEMs doing a better job at developing their SW...[/QUOT
No, this is a tough phone to root, every root method failed, and VRoot claim that they root any phone, wrong not the Kestrel, even though bootloader unlocked, Bizzar

Thanks mate, I appreciate Huawei may have played the bad guys and made it tougher to root. I am having a hard time understanding why a pure consumer product like this one is locked so tightly by the OEM... It's not like they are trying to attack the entreprise market, next thing you know they will add a Knox like mechanism
i'm sure one of our devs here will come up with the root just to prove them wrong, i understand its a new phone branded as EE kestrel ,just about 1 month since its launch, i mean Huawei were quite good , supply the code to unlock the bootloader. i wish there was an old fashion way to root it, all these super one click methods don't hack it.
All we need is: Root file + recovery file :highfive:
all the credit goes to Pulser_G2 (old school, who led me to it), geohot (the Dev who made it) (http://towelroot.com/). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
the long wait is over, goodbye bloatsh***t, hello root apps.
kestrel users ,if this roots it ,donate to support the dev.
thank you :good:victory:
Hello, i have a probleme with this method, my binarie doesn't work and i don't can re-root device, do you have solution?
this will root any devices, as long if your bootloader is unlocked, i didn't encounter any problems with mine , i've unlocked the bootloader first and then install the tr (towelroot) apk on the phone, one click 20 seconds later ,its rooted, it worked on all sumsung galaxys, this is the new one click root that'll root any device that failed with all the others rooting methods.
hope this helps.
Just used the link above, and added an email with the phone details, they sent me the unlock codes within 30mn. Installed huawei suite on PC to get drivers. They have a guide on how to, in their site. That's it.
Sent from my Kestrel using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
EE Kestrel is G535-L11 which is not listed in the link. I also emailed Huawei and have waited for three weeks and have not had any responses.

Sorry to be a pest, but could you tell me which email address you sent your request to. I have tried the email on that page and I get a failure notice back.
have you tried towelroot ? did it work with your bootloader locked ?
Yeah I have tried it and it roots the device but I am unable to install custom rom.
what custom roms, there aren't any custom roms for the kestrel , not yet.
1- you'll need a custom recovery ( they haven't made one yet )
if you've found one that works with the kestrel , post the link
don't go flashing roms that aren't for your phone, you'll end up with a brick
here is a guide on how to extract it :
