I cant believe it , it worked. I finally got my huawie ascend mate 2 rooted. In order to remove stock apps I had to install ” system app remover”.
I used this page to unlock the bootloader http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/362152-unlocking-bootloader-oficially-with-the-code-of-huawei/
Your link to supersu is dead but there are other ways to download supersu.
