These are the steps you need to root the Huawei U8652 smartphone so you can install root-requiring apps from the Google Play Store. Once you complete the guide below, you will have full system access.

The full system access to the root file system means you can tinker with the OS and run apps that require permissions to that file system. It also means you can accidentally delete files you need if you don’t know what you are doing. That’s why rooting should only be for advanced Android users.

The Files You Need

  • Download the Unlock Root tool from this page.
  • Make sure you have the USB Debugging Mode enabled on your device. You can do that by navigating over to the Huawei smartphone Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging Mode.
  • Those of you who see no Developer Options available from the Huawei smartphone Settings must unlock it because it’w hidden. You can unhide that menu by pointing to the same Settings > About Device > tap over the build number until it tells you that you have unlocked the Developer Options/become a Developer on the screen.
  • Now you may go back to the Settings and find the Developer Options menu available.
