Root for official Huawei S7 Android 2.2 Builds

[xaueious]

Huwaei is shipping the updates with 2.2.2.

This effectively eliminates previous methods to root the device (z4root)

Huawei has yet to put up the GPL kernel sources.

It should theoretically still work with psneuter on Superoneclick.

You will need to enable debugging mode on the device, and plug in the S7 via USB. Then you will need to reinstall the USB S7 driver.

You can try to plug in the usb cable or to enable wireless during z4root.Most of the exploit use this.

We know. The root exploits used in all oneclick methods (specifically psneuter and rageinthecage) have both been patched in 2.2.2. It's futile for now.

If you think you can help, contribute here: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...l-huawei-s7-android-2-2-builds.html#post73037

Can you take a picture or two and upload to imgur? Specifically the about tablet screen showing 2.2. I want to feature it in a news article on the front page.

Wait, people are responding that root actually works on 2.2.2 with Superoneclick: [ROOT] Super One Click - works with every ROM version (2.2.1 & above also supported) [Archive] - xda-developers
So maybe try again with psneuter? I might have been wrong.

Do not select rage (=z4root's root exploit)

If I can get the Updata.app, I might be able to "pre root" the firmware, so we can then flash it using clockwork mod.

Wait. Have they released froyo, or are we discussing preemptive root methods?

Edit: nevermind. I now see that froyo is available if you walk into a Huawei service center in Indonesia.

Either way, I will probably wait for Ivyvisors to pre-root and repack it, hopefully sans Huawei Emotion or whatever it's called.

ok guys, i got mine rooted by SOC.

Just to confirm, the default method using psneuter works then?

 

[tri_zet]

For those of you who never used SOC (like me) I just googled how to use super one click-

Root Any Android Device And Samsung Captivate With Super One-Click App

THE FOLLOWING IS TAKEN FROM THE ABOVE ARTICLE BY ALI WAQAS.

"Here is the step by step guide on rooting your Android handset / Samsung Captivate with Super One Click Rooting Application.

This app needs .Net Framework 2.0 or higher to operate.

The first step is to download Super One Click Root App and save it on your desktop.

Once this is done, connect your phone to the computer. it is important to note that after connecting the phone, you must not mount SD card.

Now go to phone settings and enable USB Debugging.

Once this is done, launch SuperOneClick.exe by double clicking.

Now click on Universal tab on screen if you are going to root any Android device like Nexus One, Galaxy S, Droid etc.

Now simply click on Root tab and wait for the process to finish. It will take some time so hang in there.

After the rooting is complete, click Allow Non Market Apps if you need to.

There you go! you now have a rooted handset ready to accept any custom ROM."

Haven't done it yet- but am in the process! This was a long time coming. My thanks to our Indonesian friends for helping out the forgotten ones!!! (us)

Many thanks to Odienas and tri zet for all your hard work and efforts on our part. You are appreciated by many!!!

**Just followed above directions with no problems- just leave settings on universal box top left and psneuter top right.
