Bootloader is a very important mode in Android devices. It controls whether the device have to boot in OS mode, recovery mode or Fastboot mode. That is just like the BIOS in Windows PCs. The Huawei G526 is an excellent Android smart phone and got root access recently, but to root your phone you need to unlock your phone’s boot loader first. Today I will tell you a very easy but a little time taking (you will get to know about it) way to root your phone.

First, let me tell you that rooting or unlocking boot loader is an unofficial process and it may voids your phones warranty so better do that at your own risk. This guide is only for your convenience, you can’t claim us if you get your device messed up.
