I am recommended to app unlock my shadow before changing the theme or anything, right?
But, I already changed my theme... And don't know if I should app unlock, whatever that means, my phone.
THanks in advanced.

I dont know about needing it for a theme, but on some applications you need it for them to work. Read http://www.allshadow.com/2008/05/23/how-to-app-unlock-your-shadow/
Yes, what the application unlock program does is unlock your phones security certificate so that you can install programs that are not signed with a security cerficate or seal. It lets you put most any program that is availible onto your phone, aswell as update the ROM.
Ok, thanks... I installed it.. How do i know its installed though?

After formating my athena it automatically starts to install something!
Does anyone know what it installs and if it is possible to stop it from doing that?
I want to make a new fresh installation and only install programs that I like and want!
I have the original WM6 rom!
Please help!
I think you are seeing the device initialization, something that HTC has inserted into the ROM installation process. Not something you want to stop if you want the drivers so everything works.
It is the Extended ROM - basically all the customisation your carrier installs.
But why on earth use a standard ROM rather than an AP one?

AP one?
I am not familiar with that, what is it?
Thanks in advance!
AP = Athena Project
A group of very clever people have created ROMS for the Athena with all the good biots and none of the bad bits.
The latest version is 3.0 Dual at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346221
But 4.0 is finished and will be released when the unlocker is ready.
Thank you so much!

If I install the AP 3 Rom, will I void my warranty?
yes, because you have to use olipro's unlocker first so your device can be super CID
edit: your original question - i think but im not for sure be if you stick the stylus in the back and and do a soft reset right before the customizations start then next time your phone loads it wont load that stuff but there is some stuff in there you might want.

Quite Correct! A soft reset during the three second warning will bypass the customizations. No harm in trying it without the customizations, then do a hard reset and let them install. If you don't need any of the extras, you can hard reset again and bypass again with the soft reset.

Yes - although you can flash back to an official ROM your device will have to be super CID - but most operators don't notice the super CID and people have claimed off their warranty successfully. One person recently got their device back from T-Mob and it was CID locked again!
I cant't seem to add widgets in secure mode on my s4(I337M). Is there anyway to force a third party widget into the lock screen without root? Thanks!

There is no way of 'forcing' a widget to the lock screen without root. Even the native widgets for the lock screen are limited to the 4 or 5 widgets you can enable/disable.
You might be able to find a theme launcher from the Play Store that can do everything you're looking for.
Here are some suggestions if you need them:
Nova Launcher
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en
Apex Launcher
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher&hl=en
Holo Locker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker&hl=en
From the launchers, you can search additional themes that may better fit yours needs/wants.
Hope this helps!

Well, when you root your device, there are many ways you can accomplish geting custom widgets and application launchers onto your lock screen. When you root your device with an unlocked bootloader, you can flash a custom ROM with lock screen customization. If you are using a device that HAS a locked bootloader, such as the Verizon or AT&T S4 on MF3 - you can still root your device, install SuperSU and install custom APK's that will give you what you're looking for.
Use this link for rooting on MF3:

Use this link for rooting on unlocked bootloaders:

There's no way to put widgets on the lock screen while in secure mode. However you can still have widgets on your lock screen just when you get a PW lock then it isn't usable. Say that your doing something on your phone and you sleep it really quick and say you have the camera on the lock screen you wake the phone back up to take a picture just as long as it doesn't sleep too long and secure lock it you'll have the widgets there.

Hi,
Which ROOT options do i have for this device? SCL-L01 (other versions : see UPDATE)
For some unknown reason this solution does not seem to work everytime on this types.
But better give it a try
You do not need to unlock your phone.
Just install :
http://www.appsandroidapk.com/tools/kingroot/
http://androidmtk.com/download-kingroot-application
UPDATE : known versions of Kingroot working : succeeded feedback by other members but not always succesfull.
SCL-L01 4.5.2 Build : SCL-L01C432B130, SCL-L01C150B140
SCL-L02 4.6.5
SCL-L03 4.6.5 Build : SCL-L03C25B130
SCL-U31 4.8.0 Build : SCL-U31C185B140 (but with unlocked bootloader)
(another user : with unlocked bootloader, sim card out, wifi ON, Kingroot 4.8.0 = success)
I suggest you try all versions when above list is not working for you. You'll never know ...
Feel free to post your rooted phone's BUILD number please to help others.

It's permanent. No worries. Let the app do its work.
Best thing is that you do not need to unlock bootloader etc. like some users propose to do. So not necessary to ask unlock code @Huawei. (warranty stays)
If i am not mistaken you can unroot too. (warranty not sure after root)

Hi,
i remember by running Kingroot the first time it said it didn't go by the usual "quick" root.
But after that message i could choose to do it 'manually' by selecting just a button to continue.
After that it went running for a couple of minutes, even a couple of time it rebooted and after that it said "rooted succesfully"
Checked it with rootchecker--OK !
Other apps like solid explorer, link2sd ect. asked for permissions to grant, so i am rooted by that way.
? Do you have the 2gb version with 2 sims ?

Yes, the sreens are taken after root.
Mine is a 1gb/1sim. Perhaps this will cause the problem. I do not now. But i suppose the 2gb/2sims might normally work too.
Perhaps someone with a Y6 2gb/2sims might give it a try and give feedback to this situation.
PS : Have you succeeded sofar?
Rooting happened like video. Just to give you an example how it went.
First it said "root is unavailable" and after that you just tap "START ROOT".

This well known Android German forum has a quite big thread about it:

I don't read German but with a bit of help from google translate I can see that nobody there has succeeded to get root access without unlocking the botloader.
Seems like the OP here had luck with his phone. Perhaps huawei forgot to lock his bootloader?

Use minimal ADB and fastboot - go in ADB and check with " ADB reboot bootloader"

Perhaps sent a mail @KingRoot like i did..perhaps they will look into it like they answered me

Lol, dag buurman! Hi there neighbour I'm from Holland
My knowledge is indeed lacking, I stand corrected! I only saw the 2gb/dual sim version in the Dutch and German sites and presumed it was Huawei's Europe import policy.
It's available here for 136 euros from belsimpel.nl but I don't have it yet. I wanted to get it for a friend and dual sim is a must for her. I only want to root it, replace the hosts files to get rid of ads and unroot it again, so she gets no problems with ota updates and warranty and such.
Are you generally happy with this phone? Are the audio and call quality satisfactory?
Thanks a lot!

Hi neighbour ! Indeed a small word
No problem ! There are 3 versions of it.
But i thought you've bought the phone already and tried Kingroot...
I use this phone as an interim because my ZP999 is in first aid :crying: Screen total loss...
But by unrooting this phone and deleting all unnecessary stuff and linking all the apps to my 2nd partition of SD it became a rather quick and very decent phone indeed! From the 1GB RAM i've always 500MB free.
There is no lack in opening apps. Battery is more than satisfactory (3 days normal use, 2 days no problem when making a bunch of phone calls like i do etc. ). Battery-charge cycle less than 1 hour.
Design is good. Slim body
Phone call : good but they put a rather hard blocking noice reduction in it, so when you have somebody on the phone and he/she does not say anything, sound is totally gone - that's a bit different with all the other phones i've got : caller voice and background sounds are hearable all the time. But you get used to it with this phone).
Touchscreen is very good even looking at a small angle is more than good. Backlight clarity ok.
GPS excellent! Wifi and carrier connect : excellent ! 4G top !
Sound when playing music : very good ( better then my ZP999)
So in general : worth the 130 euro's :cyclops:

Hello there,
i hope i am in the correct section. I have purchased a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1050) and i would like to install Lineage OS to use Google/FB as less as possible. If there is a more secute OS, please let me know.
I know about hikaricalyx and techmesto, that i can purchase there a key to unlock my bootlooader. Are those two websites safe to use? I dont know what they do with my IMEI and my serialnumber. Second, can i be sure that they dont install some third party tools in my smartphone while the unlocking process?
This is still quite new for me, sorry if i ask something already asked.
Greetings.

Um paying would be fine, if it is a trusted source.
Look for sources which many people have vouched for it.
I wouldnt buy it but in your case there seems like no choice.
I got my bootloader unlock from hikaricalyx and its very safe and takes only few minutes to unlock the bootloader. If you are aware regarding how to unlock the bootloader then you can only apply for bootloader unlock on your own during which you will be given a command prompt tool which you need to download and run on your pc with your phone connected. This tool will then produce some numbers which you need to provide hikaricalyx and in return he will then inform you the bootloader unlock key which you need to again input in tht tool.
He will not ask for your imei number.
Hello.
I have unlocked my Nokia and installed LineageOS. I used the service from hikaricalyx and it was very easy. I got a lot of help and he was very kind. Even if my phone was unlocked and had some trouble to install LineageOS he helped me. I dont think, that the files we used to unlock my phone was corrupted.
For everyone who wants the files: These are useless for you. Every time you boot your phone, it will generate a random singature. We read this ramdom hash and he signed the unlockfiles with that hash. IF you want to install LineageOS like me, on your Nokia 6 these ~5$ are worth it.
Thank all of you who replied.
I am done with this thread, but i let it open for someone who have simular questions. Sone mod can close it if he want.
