Huawei Ascend P2 - root and Cm10.1?

[Guest bias_hjorth]

Hi Guys

Bought this great Ascend p2 which is fast and snappy but I miss Android 4.2.2, root access and cyangenmod. Do you know if Its possible to root and Install cm10 and would you be so kind to tell me how? :-)

Thanks a million.

U can forget cm10.1 and cwm/twrp coz the phone has huawei own chipset wich has bootloader locked and no unlocking as my ascend P6 its called hisilicon k3v2 as i remember.

[Guest Phoenix10498]

Maybe you can access to the bootloader with an

adb reboot bootloader ?

[Guest urmet77]

Yes u can in mtp usb mode and usb debugging on but u cant flash anything i know that coz my p6 has the same huawei homebrew insides and i have tryed to get it working but.....

Thanks for the comments so far although it saddens me. Do you know if 4.2. 2 or 4. 3 is comming to this phone?

[Guest urmet77]

Yes p2 will have key lime pie as well i am sure aka android 5

[Guest bias_hjorth]

Okay well thats a plus for sure. Either way its a great Phone. Did you know its possible to Download a number of themes here : http://zh.ui.vmall.com/theme.php?mod=list&display=1&model=P6&version=EMUI1.5&last_select=model

They work for the P2 as well :-)

Oki so you need a windows box to use it i suppose.

[Guest JohnnyZTE]

It works on Windows 7.

 

But reading other posts I would pay to get the phone unlocked before doing this or the phone may not be unlocked.
