[Q] Ubuntu Touch on Huawei Ascend Y530-U00? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I am new to the forums and new to rooting, flashing and installing OS' and ROMs on phones.
So, I followed a tutorial from mid 2014 on PCAdvisor (I can unfortunately not share links as I am new to the forums).
I am stuck on step 7 where I have to use
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. The phone turns of as expected, but when it turns on again, it gets stuck on the booting screen, only showing the Huawei logo.
The I did do a factory reset, and enabled USB debugging. After the first try failed, I went to the bootloader (Volume Up + Power Button) and did a factory reset from there, and tried
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
again, but without luck and still stuck in the boot screen.
I do have an average knowledge to the Ubuntu terminal on computers, and Ubuntu is what I use (and misuse) every day, so such things shouldn't be a problem.
I know the specifications of this phone aren't the recommended ones for use of Ubuntu Touch, but I still wanted to give it a try. If it bricks, I'll have an excuse to buy the Bq Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition (The cases looks so neat!).
So, with all this, has anyone managed to get past this step? Has anyone managed to install Ubuntu Touch on this model? If not, has anyone managed to install a custom ROM or something similar on this model?
Thanks in advance.

Kindle try to get into recovery but resets and looping

After upgrading to CM 12.1 everything was just fine. Got my tablet to charger and left it there for a while. And then i saw that i was looping.
It's trying to enter recovery (TWRM) "or something like" and restarting.
I' sitting on forum for 3 days already. trying to get some information and did lot's of things. Nothing helps.
Can anyone help me with this somehow? I'm almost crying and losing it (not really, but that what i feel inside)
Please. Any help. I think I've read all forum about this thing.
Thank you.
Do you have the real TWRP (i.e. not Safestrap!) & an unlocked bootloader?
don't think so. or better say i'm not sure about it. how can i check?
Edit:
i can run adb and after command "adb devices" it shows serial number and status: recovery.
i can use the command adb reboot-bootloader which puts me in fastboot mode. but then i try adb devices and have nothing there.
also, any command like "fastboot...." gets me to "waiting for device" and nothing more.
I tried two different computers. all ports. all cables that i've found.
Edit 2:
also after command "adb shell" i ca see "~ # ←[6n" and i can put there only reboot command
Well, first of all CM12.1 requires TWRP & an unlocked bootloader, if you don't have those, flashing CM12.1 was a bad idea.
So what happens during boot? Do you see the Safestrap logo and had to either wait 10 seconds or press continue to boot? Can you enter Safestrap there by pressing Recovery? Which Safestrap version is it (if any)?
The real TWRP can be accessed by pressing and holding Volume up, then pressing and holding Power, release both when the grey Kindle Fire logo appears on screen.
As having TWRP is a key requirement here, it's important to figure out what you really have (either Safestrap or TWRP).
And do NOT do a factory reset in amazon's stock recovery with Safestrap installed! Will brick the HDX!
As @Davey126 mentioned here you can check whether the bootloader ist unlocked by opening a fastboot prompt (i.e. DOS box, then change dir to your adb directory), then enter:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme
You will only get a response if unlocked.
If you use Windows and get the waiting for device fastboot issue, try these drivers, could be a pain in the ass to install them in Win8(.1)/Win10 x64 though. And note that you probably need to (re-)install the original Amazon Drivers again to get the HDX noticed in Explorer in order to get files copied it.

Also verify you have a Kindle HDX ... not HD or generic Fire.
the fastboot command got me still only 1 message "waiting for device"
Tried to install drivers. While looping, in device manager, i can see "Fire devices: Android composite ADB Interface"
and "Portable devices: MTP USB Device"
If i enter fastboot mode, gets me to "Other devices: Unknown device" and i just cant figure out how to install the drivers. Tried to download some stuff. plugged, unplugged.
Edit:
After some work done with drivers, i input adb kill-server and adb devices and get "Serial Number Unauthorized"
So maybe i should change word "work" to "messing" with driver
what do i do from here... is there any live chat for it maybe? or i can call someone?
Well, do you have the real TWRP or Safestrap? Can you enter recovery?
well, only thing i get it's blue screen and "Teamwin" and after like 3-4 second restarts and go on looping same "Teamwin"

Still haven't answered Safestrap or native TWRP query (you should know). Do this:
- long press power until device shuts off
- restart device with power button (only)
- detail the 1st, 2nd and 3rd screens you see
If you do not have native TWRP (with unlocked bootloader) you likely borked your device with the installation of CM 12.1. Generally not repairable.

Ok, that should be the real TWRP, the Safestrap screen looks different.
This could mean you've TWRP installed, but the bootloader is locked. So I'd suggest to unlock the bootloader, you can't screw up anything, and can try this nice tool.

To check if your bootloader is unlocked (assumes you previously unlocked and still have the prerequisite software installed on host):
- power down device
- press vol-down + power; release both keys when "[fastboot]" prompt appears
- tether your device
- open a command prompt (assuming Windows)
- issue command: fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme ?
- you will only get a response if bootloader is unlocked
If the (Windows) host displays "<waiting for device>":
- press <ctrl>-c to break wait
- start device manager (different window)
- located device with explanation mark (likely under "portable devices")
- right click -> update driver software -> browse my computer... -> Let me pick...
- select driver from list (ideally one that contains the words 'fastboot'); might have to try a few
- reissue above command
Bit of a PiTA ... might be easier to simply try the one click unlock tool as there is no additional risk to your device. It will either work or not.
I guess i'll check it only next week. Leaving all this things for the weekend.
I'll keep you updated guys.
Anyway, i really appreciate your help! Thank you so much for helping
same problem
Good evening, I am very interested by the article, in fact, I currently have the same problem and I began to be very sad. all stages cited by oreal Crast are similar to the ones I tested. when I enter the command prompt 'adb devices' I get the number of my tablet and status RECOVERY.
'adb shell' gives me "~ # ← [6n"
I even re installs the uboot, boot.img and TWRP freedom by following the steps in one tech site
but at reboot, by entering the command "fastboot oem recovery 0x1949 -i 'my tablet again has a boot loop on teamwin.
i want to resolve very fast this problem because i need my tablet urgently:crying:
ps: I don't think that I can meet these problems because after having bought my tablet to a friend (the tablet possessed CyanogenMod 11 android 5.0.1 I think) I did a factory reset . it is from this manipulation on my tablet reboot teamwin.
thank you for your helping

I assume you have an unlocked bootloader and were running 'native' twrp (not Safestrap) when the problem occured. Unfortunately, there is no known 'quick fix' recovery from this failure scenario (boot looping on teamwin spash screen) as you have tried to reinstall twrp without success. Someone very talented with android might be able to unravel the problem. Best guess (and it is only a guess) is the recovery partition became damaged to such an extent it the contents can not be replaced without performing a low level format/reset of your device.
Some curiosities:
- Android 5.0.1 and CM11? (impossible combination)
- TWRP freedom? (not supported on HDX)
Are your certain your device is a HDX and not some other model?
same problem
for android version I listed above, I do not know exactly because I have used my tablet a day without really paying attention to it but I think I saw the android 5.0.1 but regarding cyanogen, I just imagined it based on readings on the web.
for this is my tablet AMAZON KINDLE FIRE with a HD 8.9 and the TWRP I recently flashed, I got through the website wikicyanogenmod in the "on how to install cyanogen hd amazon kindle 8.9.
I can not post a link because I am new to the forum so I can only quote the sites where I could download my data.

You still haven't made it clear whether you have an HD or HDX model.
You're on the HDX forum, but you're talking about documentation on the CyanogenMod wiki for the HD 8.9.
The problem likely stems from the fact that you flashed a recovery for the wrong device.

I searched the web and I have definitely amazon kindle fire HD 8.9 because even his appearance differs from the HDX 8.9.
no I do not really think the problem comes from the data flash HD 8.9 (wikicyanogenmod) because I flashed the data after doing a factory reset without actually knowing that this would pose a problem with amazon tablets.
the tablet was working well but I was unable to connect to the wifi. I thought it would be nice to change rom and install a suitable and stable rom for my tablet, but my operation I was surprised because I had never heard of this kind of problems caused by an factory reset

Huawei Y6, how to remove FRP?

Hi guys, i got the Huawei Y6 SCL-L01 phone and i wanted to install a custom rom, so i tried to install TWRP first, but since there wasn't a Y6 version (there isn't a Y6 version for anything pf ) i used the P8 version and it installed but when it rebooted the phone was stuck at a screen that say FASTBOOT & RESCUE MODE. The phone seems to be unlocked according to that screen but the FRP is loocked.
Things i've tried so far
Installed ADB latest version, extracted Recovery Cust System and Boot images from an official stock ROM.
Tried all available drivers from Google TP_Link and Intel for my phone.
The screen i am stuck does not work with ADB commands, the device is not recognized.
Fastboot commands work and it sees the device correctly, the problem is every time i try to flash the images from the stock rom i get FAILED message due to FRP Lock.
Format userdata and cache doesn't work either.
Vol + / - and Power button combinations also have no effect, it only shows that screen regardless of what i press.
I've searched the web and the XDA forums extensively since this happened and tried every possible solution i could find even if it was meant for another device.. no luck.
And here's my question, how can i possibly remove the FRP lock by only using fastboot?
Please somebody help, i am like half a day away from decorating the wall with this piece of ****
PS: I am not able to upload screenshots, sorry about that.

I'm stuck with this problem too. The exact problem. Have you found a way to fix it?
I have exactly the same problem with my Huawei Tablet.
If I boot with the original ROM and look in the "/log" - directory with adb shell, there is a cust.log. The contents say, that the specific ROM is not original or factory.
I think even the bootloader is unlocked, there is a kind of signature checking.
EDIT: @Asdforcer: Have you tried to boot the original boot.rom with "fastboot boot" - command?

Urgent problem~ My hdx7 (3rd GE)cannot identify by computer

Hi All,
I do believe here is the god place who will settle my problem~~ really need help.
my hdx7 is good and no any damages physically, but afte I tried many times for flashing CM13 and different root tools, finally the last time when I flash CM11 rom, the Startrap showing Sucessful, but when I click reboot device, my hdx7 there is no longer boot again, even there is a system already done.
now my hdx is bricked and also stuck by white Kindle Fire logo, I can use the combination key(vol+ and power) boot up Fire System Recovery, but only reboot and factory setting can be selected.
As described above, here is the key about my HDX7, if I want to apply any operations for my devices, this HDX7 cannot connect to computer no matter what kind of computer or different cable, all ADB, root tool, device manager.........there is no HDX7~~
tips: before last failed work I had 4 times flash CM11 system successed but the 4th time computer also cannot find device.
So god please help me~~ Thanks a lot

How were you trying to flash CM13? If you device does not have an unlocked bootloader (a CM13 prerequisite) there is no recovery. Given you are getting the factory recovery menu vs TWRP it sounds like Safestrap was installed.

Chuwi Hi8 Pro - Inaccessible Boot Device when starting Windows 10

Hi All,
Just rooted the android portion of this dual boot device but upon booting to the window os I was presented with a blue screen, a sad face and text
"your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart. We'll restart it for you.
...error: Inaccessible Boot Device"
Anyone come across this before and able to fix it?
upon reboot it does go into a repair mode but have tried everything but still cannot get it to go into windows.
Any help appreciated.
Should I reinstall the windows partition. A link to good online tutorial would be great?
Thanks

Trekstor Surftab breeze 9.6 quad root

Hey Everybody!
I am new to this forum, looking for a way to root my trekstor Surftab breeze 9.6 Quad. I already tried out the recommended tools, unfortunately none of them worked out. Is anyone of you aware of a method rooting the tab? Or did anyone already rooted it?
First ofall I am looking for a way to move files and apps to the external sd and delete pre-installed apps. Farther, if possible and available, a custom rom would be pretty amazing.
I'm only familiar to nexus root toolkit on my old nexus 4, otherwise I'm a newbie in rooting.
Maybe there's some of you able to help me. If necessary, I will look up more information on the tablet.
Lucas
Maybe as an Update:
Trying to build a working adb connection using the andorid sdk tools, the surftab is not listed as a device in "adb devices"
Anyone out there who can help me with the tablet?
Alright, new update for today.
I was able to get a driver running and the root-toolkits like KingoRoot, KingRoot, One Click root etc. noticed the device, I even was able to start the rooting, but all of those tools said "Root failed" or "Your device is soild to root".
Looks like those one click solution aren't able to root the surftab. I also tried towelroot and framaroot, both without any success.
I am still looking for help
If you are still interested, I successfully dumped whole eMMC memory from this tablet, so I can send you, for example, the boot partition. You can try patch it with Magisk
The magic
Yes, if it's not difficult for you, you can share the firmware. I will be grateful
Hi!
I attached xz-compressed stock boot.img for you!
Also, I have full eMMC dump, but:
recovery partition data are not usable (overwritten by uncompatible recovery image during mine tests)
no data partition
no platform bootloader partitions mmc0boot0 and mmc0boot1
Trekstor-Surftab-Breeze-9.6-ST96416-1-emmc-dump.dd.xz [1.12 GB]
Decompress and use kpartx tool (need force to ignore omitted data partition)
I have this tablet rooted now, so you can ask me for anything about it.
With love for all open source,
petabeda
Just one thing: fastboot boot is not supported here, so If you are afraid, flash modified boot.img to recovery partition with fastboot flash recovery boot.img for test (adb reboot and then adb reboot recovery
You will lost your recovery, but, at least, no bricked device in case of error (recovery is actually second boot partition)

I have two surftab tablets. One version of the SIM card is fully functional. Another wifi version will not load. When loading, the orange logo at the moment of "collection" freezes. If there is, you can go into recovery even factory reset.
But nothing changes. I believe that the EMMC resource has been exhausted and therefore this behavior.
and to be honest, I don’t know how to write the partition. Since only the adb sideload command is available in recovery mode. Apparently, it is impossible to overwrite the firmware except through the programmer.
Until that time, I could not even pull out the firmware. Since there was no root access
Thank you for your help. As a thank you, I will give you a link to a tool to repair the Nexus 7 bootloader. Through a vulnerability in the tegra cpu. As I understand it, I use this method to hack the nintendo switch. I personally bought 4 nexus 2012 on the secondary market and one of them was able to restore in this way. They of them had a damaged eMMC other power controller. And even with a soldering station, I could not replace it because there is no suitable frame for the reball. In general, nexus are not bad, but there is very little disk space for installing google services and GAPPS are useless. And it is difficult to change partition. And it makes no sense because of the available firmware.
I see, you can''t unlock bootloader, because your device is not bootable at all. So, there is no way to get into fastboot mode?
We are anti e-waste fighters giving second chances!
The first photo is the available recovery menu. Where after choosing a factory reset, nothing changes. And through the adb update, only sideload mode is available.
The factory partition is not corrupted as the restore completes successfully. But the download fails. And not just does not occur, but freezes as in the screenshot above. Most likely a hardware problem eMMC.
Earlier, I saw something similar, for example, in Asus Zenpad, if turn off or connect the camera incorrectly, then the download stops. But here animation is stuck.
I don't know how to check eMMC exactly.
logs files is empty
And with recovery, no commands are available (like adb or fasboot)
There is a one way how to diagnose/repair/have fun with that Trekstor tablet - If you could and want to disassemble it:
have your tablet powered off
disassemble the tablet
carefully disconnect FFC cables (display and digitizer)
remove mainboard screws
at back side in the center of the board, there are three testpoints.......yes you are thinking right, these are actually 1.8V UART signals and GND
Connect these signals to your serial converter (in my case, Raspberry Pi), be careful and talk with the same loundnesses
Don''t power on the tablet, only plug usb cable, tablet will try boot and run healthd (charging mode with battery animation)
Your console will show you the magic (PBL/SBL) bootloader messages and Linux log and event, maybe, the console (though no root), lalalal (/dev/ttyFIQ0)
Wish you luck
After that, if everything goes well, you should be able to use reboot fastboot command to get fastboot mode !
