[Guide] Huawei Ascend Y300 Unlock & Root

[krule031]

I sent it in assistance but they didnt' do anything. and I wasnì't at home so my sister just collect the phone and now the warranty is expired. should I replace only the touch screen? I saw on amazon some kind of kit for $15

I dont know exactly what you should replace, but I think it is the digitizer.
Digitizer is a layer of screen beneath the glass and it registers the touches, so it must be that.

Unlock Code

I tried to get the unlock code from Huawei. No answer. Did anyone experience the same?

They answered me.... saying that they DON'T provide codes I pointed out that they did it in the past but they stopped replying.

How do I enter fastboot? Power + Volume Down or up does nothing

Sounds from rooted device

Hi everyone,

has anyone the sounds from this device?

I would like to use some of them in another phone - might be as mp3 or other format, but the most important is if anyone has the sounds/ringing signals a.s.o.


best regards,

The Doc

I have the phone, currently with AospMod installed, tell me what you need and I'll try to get it for you.

Have you managed to get the unlock code? In case you managed, Is there any possibility that I could get it too?

Oh I unlocked BL and rooted that phone centuries ago.
As far as I know that site where I got the code is now closed. It was some sort of Huawei's site, with easy instructions and everything.
Anyway I'll do a research tommorow and post here if I find out how to get that code.
Cheers bro.

Follow the instructions and you should get your unlock code.

Thanks, it worked!


P.S. Now I'm going insane trying to get the phone recognized by "fastboot.exe", I wish I could enter the unlock code without ADB. :crying:

Did you installed the adb drivers correctly?

Did you installed the adb drivers correctly?

Yes, the problem is that I have trouble finding the specific Y300 drivers: I downloaded a file called "Huawei_Mobile_Driver_v1.0.exe", but after the installation my phone is seen as "SAMSUNG Android Phone" > "Android Composite ADB interface" by Device manager (see the pic.), I tried other drivers but I cannot seem to find one that works.

I did it, thank you so much

Is there any cool rom that you can recommend? (a light one because this phone is sluggish )


P.S.
Drivers aside, I was also doing something wrong: I didn't put the phone in fastboot mode (pressing POWER while keeping VOL-), once you put it in fastboot mode Windows sees the phone as new device and you have to reinstall ADB drivers.

I'm glad I helped.

Best one I could recommend.
I tried a few of them while I had that phone, from 4.1 to 4.4, and this one is by far the best. It is fast(not much to expect from Y300 but ok), reliable and it has no bugs.

I'm trying it out now, seems fast, do you think that's better than a cyanogenmod rom? (I never tried one but I was curious).

Yes it is, by far.
Stock roms work best, on this device.
CMs are full of bugs here, so I suggest you to stay at this rom.
If you want to experiment, go for it, but as for speed and reliability, this one is better by far.

(Sorry for the late reply)
I'm doing fine with this rom and I'll stay with it, don't feel like experimenting now. The only thing a little disappointing is Shuttle, too slow to me, now I'm searching for a lightweight music app (I had one before before but I forgot the name ).

I recommend Phonograph, it is preety fast, at least on my Xperia M2 lol, it has all the features, and it is beautiful.
