AT&T Huawei Ascend XT H1611 Feb27, 2017 update all things Root and TWRP (guide)

[lei111]

I'm seeing the same error of "Unable to mount /data" when trying to back up. Do you mean just ignore this error and move on to the other steps? Thanks.

no just follow the guide and ignore 0 data size

Seems it's resolved by wipe Data to extFAT. Now backing up passing the 2.xGB earlier.

backup download

Follow each step to install TWRP and root. I will not be responsible if you brick your device. If you follow each step you will have TWRP and root installed on your AT&T Ascend XT H1611

yes, it is. but without the space there is the only way i could even get it to do anything. if i did "fastboot boot TWRP.img" itsaid it couldn't find that file.

Then the file is named different

I just type
fastboot boot (and a space)
Then drag the file from your explorer to the command window
Hit enter

Trouble out the gate

New to all of this. Off to a bad start, following instructions here (rootmygalaxy dot net/unlock-bootloader-on-huawei-devices/.
Huawei Bootloader Unlock request page doesn’t have an option to choose US as country.
Are you sending an email to [email protected] to request unlock code?

Edit" found link to drivers in post #25

Add this

OP should add this this to the instructions. For me, I had to define the entire path to the TWRP image. It took me a while to figure that out.

 

[divineBliss]

Did you follow step 3? Full path is not required if you did.

[LightProtecter]

I did. It didn't work for me. IDK y. I think it should be added in case the original instruction doesn't work for some people.

 

[powerserge1]

The instructions still seem fine to me. Have cmd and TWRP.img in the adb folder then open cmd prompt from within that same folder. Then you do not need full path

Worked fine for me. Thanks!
