Welcome to the AndroidForums, chinaysa .

Not familiar with your particular device, but I've moved your post over to the all-things-root area for the Ascend Y where the good folks here are best-suited to help you out.

Cheers and best of luck!

 

Hello. I'm new to this forum so I have been trying to root my Huawei Ascend Y200. Have loaded the superuser zip file (upd_1.zip) onto the root at the SD card. Rebooted the phone in recovery mode. Selected the zip file and install.
Got this error back.

Signature verification failed.
Installation aborted.

What am I doing wrong? Have tried with other superuser zip files too but all tke same.

Help...... Thanks.

 

Welcome to the AndroidForums, perhojfeldt .

I think the issue you are having is that you typically cannot flash a .zip file that's not signed by the manufacturer unless you have a custom recovery installed. Unfortunately, to get a custom recovery installed, you usually have to be rooted .

The signature verification failure message you are seeing is typically produced when you either have a corrupt file (partial/bad download) or are trying to install a file without the proper, expected signature type (i.e., signed by the manufacturer).

So, take a look at the other threads in this all-things-root area and see what other methods are used to root this device. Hopefully, the good folks that know this device and it's root method best will chime-in and help you out.

Cheers and thanks for signing-up with us here at AF .

 

Thanks mate. That's what I thought. Like you said it kind of bite itself in the tail. Can't get by the verification without root the device and can't root the device without getting by the verification. Well stupid Huawei. LOL. Wonder of there are other ways to get to the root through USB. Anyway thanks for your answer.
