Tried the email address listed. Got an undeliverable reply. So I contacted Huawei directly through their chat on their website. Got the following address to send an email to when requesting an unlock code.
mobile@huawei.com
Hope this helps everyone.

Wow that did a trick because I couldn't get unlock key by changing vmall name. Who needs to unlock their bootloader I would suggest using this method. It was easy as a pie.
Just out of curiosity, did you use the 12 digit S/N from within "Status" or did you use the 16 digit S/N from under your battery to get this to work?
This did not work for me. The site says to email them.....ugh. I really want to use this phone, but it's stuck at the bootloader screen cause the guy who had it tried to flash it (he has no idea what he's doing).
after unlocking it get SIM blocked
i followed these steps but after entering the code i get SIM blocked
the mobile now is locked for any SIM whatever the carrier is even AT&T
its asking for 12 digits code however the code sent was 16 digits ( which i used in the beginning )
can you assist me ?

Have you yet been able to get the .IMG file you needed? I have been able to successfully root my Huawei Y536A1 I can get the file for you if need be. I need a custom recovery bad.

I did get the apk file for the SMS. Strange thing is the stock apk doesnt work and I ended up deleting it. Using a 3rd party SMS app and all is working now.
Now Im still waiting for my unlock code. Going on day 23 now.

I have been able to successfully root my ATT Tribute. However it is a waste of time. If you unlock the boot loader you will no longer be able to use ATT. They block unlocked bootloaders. The app I used for rooting was Kingo Root. It fails the first couple times but then it sucessfuly roots.
The phone is rooted but I still want to unlock the bootloader. I have no qualms about not being able to use AT&T. Just want to unlock it.

This is not true. At least not for me, I am on ATT using a rooted, bootloader unlocked device. I have only been rooted for about a week so far but I have been bootloader unlocked since I got this phone.
I get calls, txt, data, no problem. I am not blocked from using any of ATT's services, that I know of.
Also rooting a device is never a waste of time

No rooting never is. How did u get ATT to allow unlocked bootloader? A friend if mine was blocked from ATT service as soon as he unlocked the boot loader.
I didnt really *do* anything but unlock the bootloader. I was on ATT on my old phone, then I bought this phone, got a new sim cus my old one wasnt micro, then I was on ATT on this phone. Then I unlocked the bootloader trying to get root, never lost service, just kept using the device... ATT never has said anything about it or shut off my service so I just keep using it, do they normally shut ppl off for doing that? Because I've heard that before but always just thought it was a rumor because...well...yeah

Well maybe its not a lost cause then. By the way I have read that there is twrp port for the tribute. It is not cwm but it may work if this work s I really want the miui ROM. Is there a way to relock the boot loader if something happens and I do get blocked from using ATT?
Yes I have twrp already
its workin great so far...I *think* that its reversible, im pretty sure you can just do <fastboot oem lock (your unlock code here)> to lock it back...I havent personally tried it but that should lock it back.

OK then awesome. If you have not checked out miui yet you should. It has the widest range of supported devices. Next how did you get unlock code? I have sent the email but its been two days.
Im on AT&T as well and unlocked it and rooted mine last night. Service still works with no problems.
Look on the first page of this thread, Post #7. I cannot guarantee that this method still works, some users report the email address has or does change, some users have experienced issues getting a code with too many/too few digits, etc... But that is the process I used and it worked when I used it. Thats all I know about the bootloader unlock situation, I have had mine unlocked for a while now so I havent really been following that discussion. Sorry I cant be more help there.

Hello! I have a question, how can I unlock it without another GSM sim card? I have the exact phone, activated and all.
Hello, I'm sorry but I dont quite understand your question. Please explain what you are trying to accomplish and try to include as much detail as possible about the status of your device and what you are trying to do. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for someone to assist you.

8Send an email to:
mobile@mail01.huawei.com
Include the following information:
Serial Number:
IMEI:
Product ID:
Model: HUAWEI Y536-A1
Serial number and IMEI are under the battery...
To get Product ID, dial:
* # * # 1357946 # * # *
And an 8 digit code will appear, that is your product id.
I sent the email and had a code back in about an hour, the tut I read said ten minutes but mine took a lil longer than that, still a pretty quick turnaround far as im concerned. Code worked the first time, be sure you backup anything you dont want to lose, unlocking WILL wipe your device!
Also, the SN is not 16 digits, dont worry, just send the info in an email to the above address, I just put "Request Unlock Code" as the subject...

AT YOUR OWN RISK...BLAH BLAH BLAH DON'T BLAME ME,ONLY FOLLOW TO "Driver Installation" THEN HERE TO ROOT
Multiple unlock requests from 2 different email accounts......4 days later i still havent gotten a reply.
All is not lost.A generic Huawei unlock search led me mate7.net/ascend-mate7-bootloader-unlock/
Use Huawei_product_ID_Generator.exe to spoof a product ID for a G520-0000 Then enter the generated ID and the 16 digit SN and IMEI under the battery here
WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO the code auto generated unlocked my Y536A1
Hope this can help.
Good Luck and Happy Hacking1Even with the bootloader unlocked, I have no permission in terminal or adb, what we need as far as I can tell, is a patched kernel or custom recovery or something that we can flash via fastboot, I am working on trying to get something usable off the device, if we could get a recovery.img off the device somehow, then we could build a cwm for our device and flash it via fastboot and be rooted. I need an .img to try to hack to gain root privileges, but I havent been able to get anything off the device to work with. I can adb pull the visible part of the system, but the data and cache partitions are hidden, etc. so its not much help...I am trying to figure out how I can get a FULL system dump, everything Ive found so far requires you to be rooted already. All we need is a way to get su into /system/bin.
