Root Requesting Testers for Unlocking Bootloader and CWM

Big thanks to Shabbypenguin for taking the time to do this for everyone. He is working on the CWM build and will hopefully have it ready today. If you have a Premia 4G, please consider hitting that donate link for Shabby's work

Thanks also to everybody for your help with this, including Spec2nirvash and bzo22. Cheers

Just got this phone tho its not my fave as i had the sg3 and still have a uSeless Droid 3 flashed to Metro...with that being said im no noob to programs and rooting and customization, but i def want a new rom on here as im not used to these data killer Huawei phones...all i need is somebody tell me what to do to get this phone moving!

Thanks Shabbypenguin and Sepero ahead of time for getting us this far and all the other testers. Dont forget to DONATE to them as programming and rebuilding aint no joke!! ;-)
 
I am confused as well. I had the sprit but lost it and could not recover it, and before that I had the motion, both with locked bootloader.

My question is that through all of this multitude of its locked, it's unlocked, we have recovery, I would like to make it clear to the ones that includes me... Is this phone unlocked as is because google is turning up posts that the phone had a locked bootloader. Is it locked or is it not? And is the CWM out a 2nd unit or a true recovery? It would help me to clarify this hot mess....

:confused:

I'll let shabby answer, but I think originally we thought it was locked but shabby figured out that it wasn't and created the recovery for us.

Well if you managed to scroll up you would see that Shabbypenguin clearly said we do not have a locked boot loader... See the post with the picture as of the recovery he said it's based on CWM.
 
Well this is very exciting news. I am using tapatalk and my eyesight is not the best. I apologize, I noticed some newbies asking the same question. Thanks to shabby once again for discovering this, I am much more inclined to keep this phone now.

Now that we have recovery and a usb download mode I am considering offering up this phone for testing. I will test the recovery om windows xp pro first.

Thanks for clearing that up
 
so good news/bad news:

good:
you guys dont have a locked bootloader.
recovery works for teh most part and will be out as soon as i can :)
sepero made this thread so that someone finally decided to test :)

bad:
touch isnt working in the recovery
nor is internal sdcard
the screen shifts a bit to the left (wrapping around) when you scroll
you guys could have found all this out 5 months ago and had recovery since :P

the internal sdcard i need someone to tell me where sdcard stuff goes. on a lot of devices /data/media is where it gets stored. /mnt/sdcard/ and /sdcard answer will be ignored, they are just links to where its actually kept :)

once i get internal working ill publicly release it and work on graphics (the shifting) as for touch idk if that will ever be working... some oem's do weird stuff

edit: someone check out /devices/platform/rk29_sdmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0 and see if taht has their internal stuff
not sure of how much relevance..but heres something i found in build.prop


#Simulate sdcard on /data/media
#
persist.fuse_sdcard=false
ro.hwui.text_cache_width=2048
