How to Root the Huawei Ideos X6 U9000
The Huawei X6 (or the U9000) is a device with a 4.1-inch display and a 1GHz Scorpion and needless to say, affordable and pretty fast at the same time, which means you stand to gain a lot by rooting the device than not. Read on to know how to do this and take advantage of all those apps available for rooted phones.
I. Files to Download
II. Rooting the Ideos X6
1. Power down your device and put it into download mode. To do this, hold the Volume Up button and press the Power button until you get a black screen and a message saying “Incoming Download Mode”.
2. Plug the U9000 to your Windows PC. Your Windows PC should detect the device and list it as a USB drive.
3. You should find a folder called Images on this newly detected USB drive. Copy all of the contents from this folder to safe location elsewhere on your PC as a backup.
4. Extract the recovery_menu_v1-2.0.0.2_signed.zip to a folder on your desktop.
5. From the recovery_menu_v1-2.0.0.2_signed folder that you extracted above, copy everything (the META-INF folder and the recovery.img file) to the Images folder on the USB drive, and confirm replacing the original recovery.img file.
6. Copy the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file to the root folder of the USB drive (this means it should be at the topmost folder of the USB drive, not within any folders).
7. Once copied, disconnect the device from your PC.
8. Pull the battery out of the device and put it back in after a few seconds.
9. Hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons and press Power until the device vibrates. After that, continue to hold the Volume Up button until the device boots into recovery.
10. Select Install Zip from SD from the recovery menu (you can use the Volume Up and Down buttons to move between the options and the Search button to select an option).
11. Look for the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and select it to run.
12. Reboot once it is complete.
Your Ideos X6 should now be ROOTED!! As always, use the Root Checker app to confirm root access or just run any app that requires root permissions.
