Rooting Official Gingerbread

Its been a while that Huawei has launched the official update and for few the earlier rooting methods don't work as there is no access to the pink screen. This post of mine has been in a while and will show how to root the official gingerbread update. In this method we will be using a software known as "SuperOneClick". All the suggestions and precautions remain the samem like my previous rooting post.

The following are the steps to root the official gingerbread update:

  1. Dail "*#*#2846579#*#* " on your phone.
  2. Once done, you'll see a list of options, under which you need to select "projectmenu".
  3. In this option select, "background settings", then "log settings", then "log switch".
  4. Set the Log to "On" under "log switch".
  5. Reboot your phone now.
  6. Turn on the "USB Debugging Mode".
  7. Download the SuperOneClick to your computer.
  8. Now, plug in your phone to your computer but make sure you DON'T mount the sd card.
  9. Run SuperOneClick now and press the root button.
  10. It'll start rooting the phone and select yes if prompted for installing any drivers.
  11. Your phone will be rooted now with the superuser app in the drawer.
  12. Set the Log to "Off" under "log switch the same way you turned it on".


Fell free to post any queries or suggestion.

    2. make sure u have the drivers installed when u connect your phone when in pink screen.

      i guess here the only thing u can do is update to the stock rom by using your sd-card:
      take a formtted sd-card with 500mb space atleast.
      make a folder named "dload" and paste the stock update in it.
      insert the sd-card and once done turn on your phone by pressing both the volume button and your phone will be like new.
