Root Huawei Valiant

The new MetroPCS Huawei Valiant handset features jellybean 4.1 with hardware inferior to that of Premia. If someone gets their hands on one would it be possible in the future to use that phone to port jellybean? Most likely it should be really similar software wise to Premia but sadly since it's a new phone no root or cwm. I just wanted to shine some light into the room...

Just curious, how can I get into development like boneface and the oudhs? I know a very basic amount of java and python.

What coding and other skills do I need? I haven't ever seen a guide or anything.

It depends on exactly what you want to do, my understanding of development for Android is very basic so I encourage you to use Google. You should start with something simple and build your knowledge upon that, perhaps you can also ask boneface yourself to introduce you to some possible guides, etc...
 
Framaroot'poot,motochopper,ROMtoolkit,sShort fuse,one click,root with restore binary15&31,wigs nexus root tool kit haven't worked so far ...I got z4mod to give me temp root until next reboot but I had to download file manager and right as I plugged it in the comp it said I had temp root but superuser and supersu or clockworkmod superuser didn't work...I'm searching and reading everything Ican to figure out what iI can do to get root...its a slick phone for 29$ plus the 40.00$ activation ...I'll help anyway I can but I'm somewhat of a noon...only been rooting and android stuff for almost a year but I've ran through a lot of devices and brands...super fun stuff
 
Also taking out battery and holding vol.up & power will take you to android recovery I also got to this all pink screen and it registers on comp as T-Mobile modem ...I'm guessing its similar to a boot loader....?
 
OK tried robert 's stairway root...no luck...and SRS ...nothing although some of my files do show 1969 the main stuff is 2013...Roberts way cool he responded I really fast and was willing to help with Anything I had trouble with...the info I got from root check pro is system/sbin/...... permission denied.Cruz system/bin|xbin doesn't exist.oh yeah I also read in the download manual ...crespo ,Qualcomm ,Samsung ,41, and source code at mobile@huawei which when I searched for I coulndnt find Nada.I tried N.R.T. for boot loader and I think the ascends root tools as well and I don't think its locked Cuz it don't register on my laptop...the phone claims fast boot in settings menu but fast boot programs I've run on it don't identify it also got msm7260 msm8225 msm8x25 as well as U9220 at different times hooking up to PC.I don't know what all this means Cuz up till nowiI was lucky enough to get devices that had root programs already available.still have not tried update.zip with z4 kernel patch can't find a damn SD card reader ...I swear I have tons of them everywhere and when I need one can't find a single one....aaaaaarrrghgghhhhh!!!....neways I like this phone hate the mpcs bloat...I want root or the phone dies or its going back
 
I used z4root to get temp root and managed to delete some bloatware..which was all i really cared about in the first place. alas i would still like to have superuser installed :( too bad this isn't that well known of a phone. it really isn't half bad..
 
i got z4 to give me temp root once and now im having trouble getting it installed back on the phone,i cant get the phone to mount the system r/w...yes its too new too low budget i guarantee we woint see much of anything as far as dev support...u know i have an htc one,s3 and a slew of other samsung ,zte,lg phones but i keep picking up these underdogs...what can i say?im addicted to android ....
 
i got this phone literally in a pinch. my S3 took a crap due to my charger getting hit by lightning and when i plugged the phone in it wiped out the charge circuit. took off to metro and got the cheapest android device i could find. it is still a decent device. wish people would dev some roms and such for it :(

At least we got people like Shabby and boneface on the Premia.
:thumbup:;)

I'm not to willing to discount the Valiant just yet.. Once they find a way to root perfectly I'm sure some performance tweaks will do the trick to make it a little better. :D
 
Dude dont get me wrong the phone has awesome potential,im not a picture taker so camera dont mean nada to me,but the display is great,also i used every thing i had and i didnt brick it....the build.prop has that ro.build.secure=1. b.s.,im just not a dev so otherwise id still b trying... this way ill give it some time till the professionals com along and handle...then ill just repo it back from her!..mwahhgh mwahhhh
 
Is the ram shared on this device? if i look up the specs on this phone it says it has 768MB of ram. yet when i bring up hardware info it says i have 648mb of ram.

That 120 mb is probably just being used by the OS itself and the stock launcher. Go try Smart Launcher, you'll notice a large boost IMO. It is supposedly the least amount of ram hog out of all the launchers.
 
Thnx for the work guys, phone has nice screen, big, ran well at first,wanted to try rooting it, added 16gb sd, don't like it, however 3G, still pissed at the girl who sold it to me, is a temp replacement for my Galaxie, told me it was 4G...my bad should of checked, maybe return it or sell it . I guess for a month I might use my LG motion, betterrrr....

Yup. No valiant section.
No one-click root on pc or app.

Tried all app based roots I could find to no avail.

I read that z4 might give temp root but it did nothing but fc
 
I got this phone a few days ago... not to happy with it ++on battery life and display. beyond that i'm :confused: I was suckered into this phone after my LG esteem broke :(

Need to get this this thing rooted, so i can partition up this 64g sd to this stupid phone can r/w to it properly.
