Huawei smartphones might not be as popular as some of the other brands out there but they do have one thing going for them and that’s they run the same Android operating system.
Since Huawei smartphones are running Android, it means they get the same Google Play Store as every other device running Android.
There are a few reasons why that’s great. Firstly, the Google Play Store is probably the best app store in the world. And secondly, the Google Play Store is home to hundreds of extra useful apps you can download and install if your device is rooted.
This is what you need to get a custom recovery image installed on the Huawei Ascend G510-0100 smartphone.
