Root Requesting Testers for Unlocking Bootloader and CWM

[Sepero]

UPDATE:
OUR GOAL WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN THIS THREAD. WE CAN NOW MAKE SYSTEM BACKUPS WITH HUAWEI PREMIA 4G. GO TO THE FOLLOWING THREAD FOR DOWNLOAD: http://androidforums.com/premia-4g-all-things-root/732534-oudhs-clockworkmod-recovery-1-0-3-4-a.html


This is a request for Test subjects for the the Huawei Premia 4G. We are attempting to TRY and-

1. get unlocked bootloader
2. get CWM to allow system backups

I'm working on this with Shabbypenguin of oudhitsquad (Shabby brought root access to the Huawei Premia 4G). Also you can help fund work and purchases of new test devices by clicking the button below.

I'm working with Shabby from oudhitsquad to bring this to you. Also you can help fund work and purchases of new test devices by clicking the button below.

As soon as I get back I'll volunteer my phone to be a tester. Should be Monday or so

 

[rdrain1994]

I'll help but is there a chance my phone could get messed up?

that's the basic premise behind testing this stuff, is you risk your phone. if it doesnt work out then we know it doenst work, if it does then congrats it works...

 

[rdrain1994]

Well I can't risk this phone but if you guys are successful I will donate to you

Hey yeah, I should have made that more clear. I apologize. I edited the Original Post to reflect this situation.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

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

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

OK I couldn't find that path you stated. I'll keep looking, maybe I'll stumble over it

I did find something close at
Sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/

In that folder there is:
Clkgate_delay (file)
Folders: device, mmc0.0001,power, and subsystem
Uevent (file)
Is that what you were looking for?

And thanks for working on the recovery

thanks for trying, but thats not what i need . its my understanding the phone has an internal sdcard. a place where you can save pics and files to if you dont have an actual microsdcard. its normally /data/media. but the tester said he couldnt find that so idk where internal storage is. i could release a version without it and just have external storage as an option, but then everyone needs to have microsdcards.

 

[Sepero]

Yes good news. Good work Shabby, and Big Thanks to Spec2nirvash for helping test this out. Cheers!

Also Shabby, I think what you're looking for is

Thanks to user TheEmpatheticEar for this info.

UPDATE:
The internal storage location was found to be
/data/share/

 

[jtintle]

Wouldn't the internal and external_sd.fstab give you the mount points for the SD cards?

 

[Shabbypenguin]

nah that is something different, knowing its fuse helps a bit. at least i know its on teh device.

https://android.googlesource.com/pl...197870433386fb809d34b58b30fc0/sdcard/sdcard.c

tells me its using fuse, so can someone please double check /data/media and tell me if anything is there.

If you want to remote connect and browse my device you're welcome to. I'm rooted, but file explorer says I need root access to open the data folder >.>

PS: Sorry to jump the gun here, but once CWM is fully functional, how long does it usually take for someone to release a custom ROM?

however long it takes for someone to dump the system partition and make it into a rom...

oh ok. Did you want to remote connect to my Premia? Not sure if that will answer your question or not...

I would love to see custom recovery/roms on the premia. I am willing to test. I am a total noob, but I'm more than willing to learn. Please let me know if I can help make it happen. And thank-you for getting me rooted.

 

[bzo22]

Hi shabby the place your looking for is data/share it has the same stuff that on the internal sd card .. Thanks for all your work hope this helps

 

[jokerpks]

If you already have the CWM I am willing to test.

 

[SandMan46]

I am getting a replacement in a couple of days due to what I think is a cold solder joint. So when that one comes in and I feel it is going to work ok I will be willing to test for you too!

Thanks again!!
