Root [RECOVERY] Clockworkmod Recovery for Hwawei Y301-A1

Hola quiero agradecerte por el buen trabajo que realizaste para tener CWM Recovery en nuestro Huawei Y301 A1.

Quiero preguntarte, Que puedo hacer para regresar al anterior recovery de este movil?.
Ya que huawei ha lanzado una nueva copilacion de android con serie Y301A1V100R001C85B138 para este movil y con el cwm recovery no se puede instalar.

Espero me puedas ayudar a recuperar temporalmente el recovery de fabrica del huawei y301 a1. Un saludo y muy buen trabajo te felicito.!!
 
Shit.! It seems that nobody has the backup or recovery of this original huawei Y301-A1.

Please if anyone has it could provide me? I will totally grateful.
 
Thanks Shabbypenguin, recovery.img you provide me is the original stock?.

Since the original recovery need to make a OTA upgrade because the CWM can not do upgrade, do not open ZIP files
 
@ leninhnd Is there something fancy that comes with that update that I missed? Just seems like a lot of flash work to get a few Google apps....

I saw it and was hoping I would get KitKat out of it :D Bummer.
 
Hello Spec2nirvash, I thought this new update I would have some improvement valiant operating system such as improving the accuracy of GPS

That alone would be worth the update. My Valiant had same issues with lousy GPS fix. I wish I could confirm it works, gave phone to my daughter the same night I updated it.

Maybe the GPS fix is a Huawei problem. I'm using a Premia 4G as my daily for now and have the same problem with that phone too. I downloaded GPS essentials to watch how it connects to the GPS satellites, and weird thing is that the phone can definitely see the satellites, it just takes forever to lock onto enough of them (I think 4 or 5 are needed to get a good fix). I also enabled cellular coarse, seems to help a little bit. Even leaving GPS toggled on didn't make a big difference :(
 
Confirmed.! The GPS Mediatek chipset Huawei have poor precision, Valiant I have two and both have faults in GPS
 
Super late to the party and don't mean to change where the topic headed to but is there a way to do all this on 64bit version of windows
Or more or less does it matter? Point being I wanted to take the DC Unlocker route and couldn't grab my bootloader unlock code. Due to whatever issue. Either drivers or because I don't have v4.NETFramework So I guess my questions are how else can I grab the code besides email and will my setup matter when it comes to adb and fastboot
 
One more question if you don't mind: Are these command lines just for valiant or it could be generally used?

Thanks a lot!

If you want to make a backup of your stock recovery, the process is as follows:

  1. Adb into your phone
    Code: 
    adb shell
  2. Gain root access
    Code: 
    su
    Don't forget to approve the popup on your device.
  3. Copy your old Recovery to your SD Card
    Code: 
    dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p13 of=/storage/sdcard1/recovery.img
    NOTE: You can save to the internal storage by using sdcard0, but there is barely enough room to save a recovery image there.

In general, yes, you could use those commands for other devices, so long as your bootloader is unlocked. The only thing that really changes is the dd command.

Gracias. Si quieres usar el copilacion, necesitas usar el recovery de Huawei. Si quieres instalar esto, puedes descargar esto aqu
 
Can someone clarify the steps for me?

There's no way to go full factory (for official update) without removing CWM and replacing the stock recovery?

PC is required, 32bit.

Do I need to relock the bootloader?

Couldn't I restore a complete nandroid backup made when I was only rooted, but had no CWM? To solve previous problems, that is what I've done.

Unfortunately, i lost that backup in the crash....

Step 1
Backup your stuff.

Step 2
Do a factory restore.

Step 3
Do not start device, plug it intoPC.

STEP 4
ADB stuff to replace recovery partition.

Step 5
Reboot phone properly.

Step 6
Apply official update

Step 7
Reboot, etc

Step 8
PC time again; reinstall CWM.


Is that the correct "flow" of steps?
 
Yes, you do need to restore the original recovery. You need a PC, 32-bit is not required. This is the important bit, IF YOU TAKE THE UPDATE YOUR PHONE IS FOREVER UNROOTED.
 
Forever unrooted??
How?
Does it patch the vuln. used to gain root?

SPECULATION- NO PROOF - THINKING OUT LOUD

Also, the update *may* patch Heartbleed. I cannot find anything on the update tho, so that is personal speculation.

Has anyone examined the update directly? I might try, just to see what's in it.

Not exactly. one can still unlock bootloader and flash/boot cwm and root from there. Like we do on the zte awe.

True, I guess I need to get around to making a package for that, becuase the CWM root doesn't work on this device, you would need to flash it.
 
"Cannot create '/sdcard' too many symbolic links" please help, I wanna test mini ROM I made, added and removed some stock apps, and changed some settings stuff, but that
