This tutorial is all about rooting our precious
Huawei Ascend Y210.
I compiled all files from various chinese forums. So all all credit goes to them.
You must also take precaution that by rooting your phone means that it will also void your warranty.
I'll repeat, It will VOID your warranty.
If you still wish to proceed bear in mind that
I will not be held responsible to whatever may happen to your phone.
There's a chance that you will BRICK your phone. So don't blame me.
But if you follow the procedures diligently. You'll be able to root your phone with 100% success rate
Here are the steps:
1. We will flash firmware to our phone from Chinese unicom
http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDIyMTc=.
This firmware is for Dual sim version of our phone but it works fine.
You will just disregard the annoying 2nd sim without signal.
Also take note that this is the only existing firmware (to date) for our phone.
There is no other way to backup our current firmware. So proceed with caution.
After downloading, you will need to put the DLOAD folder into the root of your SD Card.
To reflash, untick first your Fast boot then turn off your phone.
Take off the battery for 5 seconds.
Put it back then proceed to download mode by pressing all at the same time VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON until it says Firmware update unpacking.
Wait for it to finish. It will take atleast 3-5 mins to boot. You just wait.

Another Word of Caution!!
Since this is using a Chinese Unicom Firmware, Google Play, Google Search, Google Maps and other Google Apps is not available.
We simply cannot install gapps from Recovery Mode as there is still no available CWM for our handset.
