The Files You Need

  • Download the root file you need from this forum here.
  • These are the steps to root the Huawei Ascend G510-0100 smartphone. Applying the steps on your device will result in you voiding the warranty. You can anytime get that warranty to work again by unrooting the device. That requires a different guide.
  • You may only follow this guide on a Windows computer. There’s an exception to that: it does not work on any Microsoft Windows Surface tablet that is running Windows RT for an operating system. The Windows RT on some Surface tablets requires you to install apps from the Windows App Store only. That means you cannot install files at all on that OS.
