Could this be the elusive "holy grail" instructions that many of us have been waiting for (from guap above)? I have t-mobile US branded springboard.

1. Put dload folder in sd card and power up with vol+ pressed till upgrade starts

2. Copy sanixupdate folder to internal storage

3. reboot to obtain root access

4. reboot and delete sanixupdate folder

Try this to download the files. It works but it is taking forever (mine currently says one day left).

Has anyone noticed there's an entire MediaPad forum out at Android Hilfe? It looks very busy... But it's 100% auf Deutsch. Still, if I read correctly, work is well underway for Clockwork recovery, and they're just ironing out some problems to make it work properly.

Perhaps if we could get everyone on that forum to join the XDA request thread, we'll get our own forum here too - auf Englisch :-)

I'm downloading a few roms right now.

When I boot my mediapad holding down the power button and volume down, the screen flashes and nothing happens. is the recovery partition ok?

i downloaded the recovery.img and have fastboot. but i'm not sure how to flash the recovery on it.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
Just stay tuned. I'm on that forum to. We are working eagerly on CWM and custom ROM. I already have tested the CWM, but for now it's closed beta. The CWM Dev that is porting it is really a great guy.

Already crushed my MediaPad once completely but could resurrect it.

We should make more pressure here on board for our own forum.

But I think that once we get CWM and CM9 (test builds already been compiled) it will be only matter of time.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
I also have wrote simple steps guide for rooting every build that is now available without flashing Roms.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] broken_symlink:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I tried that. fastboot just says waiting for device. I also tried flashing the b12 rom. I just got the android guy with a yellow warning sign. When I took out the sd card it went back to same old problem. Stuck in the original boot loop.

I'm downloading the 4.0.3 ics rom right now and will give that a try. If that doesn't work I'm not sure what else to do.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
Install the HISuite, it comes with the adb and fastboot drivers.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] richdaley:
Can you give us a link to your guides?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
Here is the link:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/showthread.php?p=2660472

You need to download the root package for your build and then run the adb commands from my thread.

No need for translation.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] broken_symlink:
I have a mac. I'll see if I can get access to a windows system.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] richdaley:
Thanks for the info. I don't have any of those builds installed. I am still on the stock US t-mobile firmware.

Is updating the firmware as simple as putting the dload folder on the root of the sd card and booting while holding down the volume key?

What about the baseband version? It looks like the roms at the German forum have different baseband versions. Will they work on US t-mobile tablets?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] andoyanna:
Hi Brainmaster,

Can u please give the link were can i download ics preview 2!

Thanks!

Hi here is the link to all the roms on the German site including ics.

http://www.android-hilfe.de/huawei-...-bisher-veroeffentlichen-roms-gibts-hier.html

I am still nervous about flashing. I am going to hold off until we get clockwork recovery and i can back up the original tmobile us rom.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] segler11:
hey,

We are working on Clockwork Recovery at "android-hilfe.de".

Right now it s a beta version with some bugs.

i am able to make a backup. but at this time i cant flash it back.

also i compiled the 3.0.8 Kernel to CM9. more results the next days.

perhaps a download for the Clockwork Recovery.

great news about the CWM and other development for Mediapad :D

thanks guys for your work!

i think this tablet really needs its own forum here on xda...

Thanks man! :-)

+1

I may have to learn German. My wife says that I can barely speak English. :)

I can't believe I have not rooted this device yet. Normally I do it on the ride home from the store. I like this tablet so much that I am afraid of messing it up.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] richdaley:
Are you in the US? I am curios to see how ics works on the springboard and how you installed.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] daisun:
Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy this tablet and retrofit it into my car. I have a couple of question to ask everyone:

1) Does the tablet screen turn on when the charger is plugged into the tablet?

2) How well does the screen perform under the sun? (Brightness and glare)

3) Does it get good GPS reception? (ie. no data connection, just using the GPS receiver)

I'm tossing up between the Mediapad and the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. Thanks in advanced!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] guap:
I have the same plan :D

1) software tunable, not a problem

2) very well, ips panel has mirror effect but still readable thanks to high contrast

3) no problem at all in my test

the big deal for me is the bluetooth, I want to use it as bluetooth handsfree... not possibile for now :(
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klacik:
Ive sent you a PM rich but dont know if it went through :-\

Btw i have a european model of Huawei Mediapad, so the guide ive sent you may not really be applicable to a t-mobile device.. i dont know what are the differencies, sorry
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] richdaley:
mediapirate's instructions look like they would work for t-mo US users.

Does anyone have a copy of the prerooted b12 rom? The link at the German site does not work in the US and the mirror fails after entering the captcha code.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] andoyanna:
Im in hong kong. I haven't try ICS yet. Im busy with work. Maybe some other time.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] daisun:
Thanks for the reply. I don't quite understand what you mean by 'software tuneable' so is there an option in the settings somewhere that allows you to set whether the screen turns on or not when charger is first plugged in?

Also, I thought the bluetooth in the Mediapad supported the a2dp audio streaming profile?

Would you recommend an anti-glare screen protector?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] flafla:
would like some help with this problem; anyone have any ideas?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] shyy:
Im using my mediapad to navagite and its excellant !!

The car charger is OK and screen turn on with no problems

The reason I chose this device is its screen quality and brightness in the sun,

I amazed by the mediapad display sharpness in the sun (better than ipad2)

The GPS works great in navigationI chose twonav software for OFF ROAD navigation.

I use WAZE to navigate in the city and urban area.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] richdaley:
I agree with you. The screen is excellent. It is the best of any tablet I have used. It has great viewing angles and is viewable in sunlight.

The GPS locks instantly for me using Google maps. Sometimes after booting the GPS signal indicator will blink for no apparent reason and not lock but once I open maps, it locks and goes away. It could be the weather app that I am running and/or the stock t-mobile firmware that is in need of an update.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] andoyanna:
Good news! Thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] guap:
if not now it will be, so that's not a real problem

no ad2p or HFP host... it can stream TO a bluetooth headset but not FROM an android device

uhm, not needed imho
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] daisun:
How are you so sure that there will be this option in the future? The reason I ask is because I've attempted to write an app that'll turn the screen off when the device is facing down and turn the screen back on when upright.

While writing it I found out that there is no way, other than hitting the power/sleep button, to turn the screen back on. I've even bought 'Tasker' and that can't turn the screen back on. Which is why the screen-on-when-charger-first-plugged-in feature is important to me.

Thanks for all the replies, I've pulled the trigger and bought a Mediapad. Waiting impatiently for it to arrive...!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
My understanding is that the OS fails to send device orientation information to Tasker (and presumably to any other app) when the screen is off. I have a setup where when my device is face-down and plugged in, all vibration is disabled (so I can go to sleep without my e-mail vibrating). But in order to make that work properly, I have to flip the phone over with the screen on, wait a second or so for it to register, and then sleep the screen.

So you have two problems: It can't detect orientation changes when sleeping, and it can't wake the screen on Android versions >2.2. I wonder if there is a root plugin that allows it to wake the screen.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] daisun:
I read there was a hidden API that could turn the screen on. But, since my problem could be solved simply with the charger turning the screen on I didn't look into it any further. Hopefully Tasker will be able to do it one day.

Is there any information about warranty claim with this problem?

nevermind, found it :D

Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> "Stay Awake"

plug power -> wake up

unplug power -> timeout -> screen goes off

2. Fast webpage loading

3. Videochat on skype other party complained that my video is not clear no color but green

Just used it for an hour because of skype problem!

Turn off your device and then press power as soon as it vibrate hold the volume key the side close to power button wait until it boot to recovery then release volume key!

Hi, can anyone advise me beside ICS, which rom has the best screen response, B12, B16, B19, B20.......etc
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
Had one issue with ics beta 2, changed from high to normal resolution then the screen got garbled after the boot.

I could not get past the pattern lock, strange textures and tiny tray icons repeated at the bottom.

Had to wait to get to a machine with android sdk, not used sdk in a long time but managed to reboot the pad.

Strange

Springboard to Mediapad

I have to say that the ICS build so far is a lot nicer than the stock Springboard build that came on my T-Mobile tablet. And guess what, I can actually use my unlimited texting I got with my Plan!!!

Thanks to all of the people working on this tablet, I was worried this tablet would be passed up, I'm sooo glad it was not.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
Did you use these instructions? Been waiting on specific springboard (vs mediapad) feedback.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
edit to vent anger.

So ive just had an issue with ics, no idea how it happened but think its related to changing screen resolution.

Suddenly it would not get past the pattern screen:

-If i entered the pattern it would just freeze

-If i waited a while the screen would dim and not come back

- 1 of 15 tries i could get past the pattern but it would freeze before coming to factory reset.

Then i flashed ics again, now could get past the pattern but it froze again.

After a reboot i was greated with a garbled screen (se attachment). If i pressed on the screen it looked like a bad repeated wallpaper from a .tk domain.

After a lot of tries and pure luck i managed to get to factory reset and wipe everything. Now it seems ok.

Anyone have instructions for factory reset with adb?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
I wonder if connecting it to HDMI would have allowed to you at least see the screen contents properly.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:

Anyone else with ics and opera to check if theirs are working? Im i getting old or did opera rotate in ics without crashing?

did flash 3.2 to check and there it rotated fine.

Tmobile Wifi Calling

I took my springboard and flashed over the new beta version of ICS for the mediapad so that I would be able to text. I can now text and make calls, but I have a dead zone where I live.

I am looking for the T-Mobile Wifi calling app that comes on tmobile phones if anyone knows where I can get this.

I am willing to flash to previous roms to get this working, so anything would be great:)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
I don't think T-Mobile has an ICS compatible version of wifi calling yet. It requires the OS to be specially adapted to support it. Might not be possible unless T-Mobile releases another ICS device that shares some internals with the Springboard. For example, Cyanogen was able to adapt wifi calling to the Nexus One based on the code used for G2 & Mytouch 4G.

Hi everyone! Finally got my Mediapad! (Non T-Mobile version) It's a sexy piece of equipment, build quality is excellent.

As soon as I turn it on I updated it to B016. But I've found that some of the preinstalled apps that were on it are now gone. Apps such as: Messaging, Dialer and a bunch of Huawei specific apps that access their cloud services and the backup app have disappeared.

Honestly I read the first 30 or so pages of this thread, got a general idea of how to flash the springboard over to a media. I then flash it to a Version of honeycomb for mediapad, then flashed it over to ICS.

As far as I remember I put the dload file you download into the root of an external sd card and restarted the springboard, it installed the rom itself.

Just remember to remove the SD card after the rom is installed and done being setup.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] chipis:
OK. Thank you very much SIR. I was waiting for that answer:D

Really thank you i had that in mind to do it like you said but i was waiting to make sure cause im not that familiar with tablet flashing so far yet.:(
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] myunitisz:
On external SD put files in SD card? That's all and restart?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] chipis:
thank u finally a less busy link bro

just put the zip in the external sd and reeboot press volume + wait for the tablet recognized the zip and let go the volume?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tegra5:
Yup, its just that simple

Just remember to delete the dload file after finish flashing before u reboot again.

Otherwise, it will flash again :o
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] magus57:
Since the search function is currently down and I haven't found an answer in the 20 or so pages I looked through...from what I understand, flashing ICS onto a T-Mobile Springboard will grant it phone and text capabilities, correct? And how does it affect data speeds as a result - is it limited to 2G or 3G (and is there any way around it)? I've been looking at getting a 7" tablet for a while, and never really looked into the Springboard as an option until I found out about this thread.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] myunitisz:
i put files in dload folder in external and it still wont work after i restart does it need to be named something else?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] chipis:
Ok. This what i did . An it worked :-D

1. I put the dload on the external sd.

2. I turn it off the tablet

3. I press the power button ones it vibrates imediately press volume +

4. Keep it press until it detects the zip.

5. Ones it finish it would let know when you have to removed the sd card, ones you do that removed the sd card it reboots

And after all removed the dload .
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] chipis:
Ok now sucesfully installed a new rom. But some how i cant get root permission i tried set cpu and it said that i dont have root permission.

What wrong ?
