Please Read:(August 20/2014) Finally, I hope this thread is almost complete, while updating this thread I really didn't find many users interested in this thread. It's not that i want credits for it, i was the one with most of replies & felt like alone, forcing others to read/reply etc.. but i didn't give-up, pushed myself into it, spending time on Search, Collecting Information, Testing Stuff on my Device, posting, updating etc.... but It's ok & no problem. Remember, when we need something we struggle for it & i needed it for myself. Only one thing, keep this thread going, Rate it, Comment, share, whatever.... that's all. I hope it will help other users. Thanks for understanding.

Update: August 27/2014

BOOTLOADER= (ROM Test Result: Successfully installed/Flashed Custom ROM without unlocking bootloader )

Let us know who get them and who did not, so we can share : ).

How to Enable USB Debugging & Enter into Stock/Default Recovery:

How to Enable USB Debugging:
Go to:
-- Phone settings >> About phone and find "Build number".
-- Tap/click 7 times on "build number" and a messages will appear. Now we have new option in "phone settings".
-- Back to Phone settings.
-- Open "Developer options". (it's above 'about phone').
-- Turn it ON and enable/check "USB debugging".

(USB debugging is required to work with "ADB/FASTBOOT".)

To Enter into Default/Stock Recovery.
Method 1:
-- Turn off your device/phone
-- Press Vol+ and Vol- and hold them
-- Press Power button and hold

Hold for 5-6 Seconds at "Huawei Ascend" logo (simple logo, not animated) and you are done.

Method 2: To Enter into Default/Stock Recovery via "ADB/FASTBOOT".
1. Make sure "USB Debugging" is enabled.
2. Install phone drivers. You can Download Drivers from the link given under "How to find ADB/fastboot, CDC.... Drivers!!" section.
3. Download "ADB" files from the link given under "How to find ADB/fastboot, CDC.... Drivers!!" section..
4. Extract "ADB.zip" to Drive 'C:\'
5. Now open "command prompt" and make sure path is c:\adb>.

Now type:

adb reboot recovery

Phone/Device will reboot into Stock/Default Recovery.
Thats all. Done.

Unlocking Bootloader, Root & CWM:

>> Unlock Bootloader?
(Update:Not Needed)

>> How to Root?
(Update: SOLVED)
>> Framaroot 1.9.2
- Download Framaroot 1.9.2: HERE OR HERE
- Extract, copy 'apk' file to you mobile & install.
- Open the installed Framaroot application.
- Choose the “SuperSU” from the dropdown menu.
- Select “Boromir” & on success you'll see this message “Success, Superuser and SU binary installed.”
The End, after rebooting the device you could see an app called Superuser in your menu.
(Note:- In case 'supersu/superuser' icon does not appear in menu, then open play store> my Apps> and search 'supersu/superuser' there. It should be there and needs update. Do it and it will appear in menu.")

Or visit Here for more info on Rooting.

>> CWM Recovery Installation/Flashing?
(Update: SOLVED) NOTE: Device must be Unlocked and "Rooted" for "CWM" installation. (Note: I Rooted the Device & Flashed CWM Recovery successfully without unlocking bootloader. Still need to test flashing "ROM".)

CWM v5.5.0.4 for HUAWEI Y511-U30

You will need MtkDroidTools & Recovery.
Download MtkDroidTools_v253 HERE
& Recovery HERE.
Extract both RAR files.

LETS GET STARTED....

-- Device Must be Rooted.
-- Enable "USB Debugging".

Flashing CWM Recovery with MtkDroidTools:

-- Open MtkDroidTools.
-- Connect you Phone to the PC via usb cable.

1. Click "ROOT" Button. (To get 'root shell') On Phone, 'Supersu' will ask for permission. Select "Grant".
2. Choose Second tab "root, backup, recovery" from MtkDroidTools.
3. Select 2nd(second) Option "To use boot from phone".

Make backup of your device/rom/data etc....
(Note):- Everything is working fine, only thing is that i cannot enter custom recovery with "vol+ & vol- & power" button (it's 'maybe' problem with this specific version). Otherwise i can enter in custom recovery with "ADB". I have installed "Quick boot" app from play store to reboot phone into custom recovery and it's working ok. Also successfully created backup with CWM.

Installing/Flashing Custom ROM

Things you need to know?

-- "Bootloader" "No unlocking needed".
-- Device must be Rooted.
-- Recovery Tool (CWM or TWRP).
-- & Custom ROM.

How to Install/Flash Custom ROM?
(Note:- Make sure Battery is charged more than 70%. Better make it 100%. : D )

-- Make full backup of Device.
-- Copy-paste the downloaded ROM (.zip) file to your phone’s SD card.
-- Reboot phone into Recovery Mode.
-- In Recovery Menu, Select “wipe data factory reset”, “wipe cache partition” and “wipe dalvick cache(from advanced option)".
-- Back to Recovery Main Menu.
-- Go to “install zip from SD card” and “choose zip from SD card”.
-- Go to ROM (.zip) file location and select it.
-- Select "Yes" to continue.
-- Reboot when done.

That's all. Enjoy....
