Files You Need

Rooting the Huawei Ascend Q
1. The first step is to enable the USB debugging option on your phone. It can be easily enabled from Menu->Settings->Developer options->USB debugging. Without enabling this option, you can’t root your phone.
2. Extract files from the Cydia Impactor archive to your computer. Double-click on the tool executable file to launch it.
3. When Cydia Impactor launches, select # drop SuperSU su to system/xbin/su from the dropdown menu and then hit the Start button. It will start the procedure to root your device.
4. When that is all done, eject your phone from your computer. Turn off your phone.
5. Reboot your phone.
6. Launch Google Play store and search for and tap on SuperSU. Install it on your phone as it is what allows you to manage root permissions on your device.
7. You are all set.
To confirm whether everything went well or not, download the Root Checker app and it’ll tell you your root status.
