Installing Google Apps Playstore for Huawei G520-T10 without flashing

It's been 2 days while I was trying to see how to install Google Apps and Contact Sync into this phone, and I've finally managed to do so without having to flash the phone because I didn't want the hassle to write to Huawei just to send me a bootunloader code. Never the less, this is how I did it in 3 simple steps :-

Root Your Phone 
1. Download and install SRS Root to root this phone.
2. Run SRS Root
3. Connect your phone to your PC
4. Run SRS Root
5. Select Root Device (All Method)
6. Follow the instruction until it ask you to check your phone to select which Root Apps you need to install.
A) Select Install SuperSU (as SuperUser didn't work on this phone), and tap on the name that shows under the line (I got Boromir. Think it will generate a random name from Lord of the Rings).
B) Once it gives you a success message on your phone click OK button in SRS Root, and wait for it to finish removing the app.
7. After completing it, Reboot your phone.

Install Root Explorer
1. Download Root Explorer
2. Copy Root Explorer apk to your phone.
3. Install Root Explorer on your phone.
4. Run Root Explorer and grant permission to Super SU for this App.

Install Google Apps On Your Phone
Ok for this segment here, I need to clarify in order to prevent any confusion for other models of Huawei G520.  Because G520-T10 uses Android version 4.2.1, I've extracted 6 files from Google Apps 20121212 which are the following files.

  • GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
  • GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
  • GoogleLoginService.apk
  • GoogleServicesFramework.apk
  • OneTimeInitializer.apk
  • Phonesky.apk (this is google play)
Attach the files for the 6 files you can download here.  For other Android version please visit here [Rootzwiki] to download the google apps for your Android version.  Ok let's get started.

1. Copy all 6 files to your phone.
2. Open Root Explorer
3. Copy 6 files \System\App
4. Reboot your phone.

And that's it!  You should be able to run Google Play store, and sync your calendar and contacts with your Gmail account.  Hope this helps!

      Download it to your pc. Connect your PC to the phone and run the SRS root. Just follow the instruction to root your phone. You should be good to go.

      I don't think you need to press any button. Did you try the second method instead?

    When you run SRS Root, try Root Device (SmartRoot). See if that works. Also check and see if any other apps could be preventing the root from happening. I believe there's a 360 app or something that came along with the phone. That could be an issue.

      You don't need to reboot your phone. Unfortunately I don't have the phone with me any longer. Basically it's the same step when using the root the phone method as describe above. Instead of using Root Device (All Method), use Root Device (SmartRoot). See if that works.
