All about HUAWEI Ascend Y530 (Q&A, Root,Unlocking, etc)

[Boskan]

Hi All and Welcome !!

I wanted to start a thread regarding the Huawei Ascend Y530 phone. Main reason I'm doing this is because there is nothing much about this phone
on the Internet and here as well.
Goal of this thread is that everyone that knows something about this phone, from basic info, to rooting and SIM unblocking, puts his/hers knowledge here, thus making it accessible for everyone to see.
This model is not one of the top models there are, but it is getting popular (by my opinion). And because of that, there should be more information about it, and the things you can do with it.

I'm doing this from a reason that I too need some info about this phone, since I recently got one and it is SIM blocked. So, I would like if there is anyone out there that can help me and others, to find solutions for our problems regarding this model.

Internet outside of this site was not that helpful, but I hope people here will be.

P.S. I'm expecting interactive behavior from all who is posting, so answers should come from everyone, not just from me (I'm still newbe )

POST EDIT !!!!! -------------->>>> THERE IS A WIKI PAGE FOR THIS PHONE ON THIS LINK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Huawei_Ascend_Y530

Good Idea !
This phone is certainly not a high-end model, but it is very popular in Europe and Asia (don't know for America).

Framaroot and Vroot failled...
Now more than 3 month since this phone arrive, and there is still no method to root.
Does it come one day ?

HELP !!

Very nice idea, Boskan, Thnx!
I got this phone by now two months ago.
Jelly Bean stock rom works pretty well, but I definitely need this phone to be rooted!
Is anybody there who has time to make a new miracle?

I prefer official unlock code,but there seems to be other ways to unlock bootloader
it is not tested for y530,i already unlocked mine,so i can't test either
but HERE it is for those who wants to try
Guide is simple and it should be for generally all huawei's ?

I unlocked succesfully the bootloader with official method,but after some hours my phone noticed me that there is an update (B187 in Italy),
I downloaded it and when the phone restarted to install it,it did stuck on Huawei logo,i waited about 20 minutes but nothing happened,so i tried to reset the phone but the same thing happens,i tried to relock the bootloader with the same code i used to unlock it but the phone saied:invalid code or something similar....so how can i fix these problems or one of these? Sorry for my bad english,i'm italian,i hope you understand!

 

[IcemanSR]

You need original firmware of your phone,if u dont have it there ia nothing you can do.we dont have custom recovery for phone,so take it to service.they can fix it

Perhaps try to launch the phone in recovery mode : Vol up + Power On, and do a factory reset by this way if you can reach this function.

Note : what an idea to accept updates !!
1st rule with computer : don't tuch if it's work well...
the best is the enemy of the good

 

[razkal1]

Anyone pushed su via adb on unlocked bootloader to try and get root?

If it was official update,it is not his fault
and it should not have nothing to do with unlocked bootloader
it is faulty update.or maybe conflict with some old data,wrong usb drivers,cache etc
And he should not have any problems sending phone where he bought it to get repair.

But yes.Before going to panic those are first steps that him as user should try to do
wipe the phone clean
Here are some steps on how to

Well, this is a quite good news. It showes that it's possible for a 4.3 Android.

My build is : Y530-U00V100R001C900B177
What is the différence between 177, 181, 183, 189 (proposed since yesterday) ?
Is this build number related to system update (Huawei) ?
Or is it only a number related with the country (and a particular firmware) ?

Little by little we will get there !

I hear that 177 has rather big issues with battery drain,and that next update is 177-189
Builds are probably base huawei update+local modifications where base belongs

Base (certificate)

 

[IcemanSR]

I found this:
custom cwm build page
i tried to make rom nand backup from mine but adb commands failed on this phone....
sorry abt double post ,it was suppose to go to previous post..can't find delete button either..

It would be nice if some developer would step in and help the case..

thanks.
177 / battery drain : I confirm. sometime rapid and sudden drop in battery

question : if I try ans success with SRSroot, will Huawei update work after ? if yes, will Huawei update unroot the device ?
dilemma : first update the phone and loose the ability to root, or first try to root and loose the ability to update...
