Huawei Fusion 3 was carried by AT&T in the United States and it quickly became a great phone for the Android fans. If you picked one up when it was first released, you may have got a little bored with it by now. The reason is it may not have got the Android version update that you were looking forward to, etc.

Well, root has come for your Huawei Fusion 3. Yes, what it means is that get ready to shake the dust off your phone as it’s ready to be loaded with some cool stuff that you haven’t had a chance to enjoy on your phone, yet.
