downloaded the B20 Installed With Sanix update Zip For Root Thats Where I Am No Market & I Needs that.....
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
Yes, just overwrite the cust.img.ext4 inside the update.zip.

local.prop is already part of cust.img. I just changed the build-id there (to something like C233B020Test1), to see if it works.

Well, in Web-Market, when you install an app, it presents a dropdown box with all your android devices running with that google-account, to select, to which device you want to install the app.

With my method of integrating gapps, the mediapad is no longer shown in that dropdown box. So you cannot install apps from the PC per browser.

The market on the device itself works properly though.

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

B20 has no google apps.

Either use bigsim's method (root and add gapps) or mine (merge cust.img.ext4 from build C232B012 into update.zip from B20), both are posted in this thread a few pages back.

Or just go back to your previous rom with market.

Tried updating after replacing the files, but only got FAILED message.

How did you integrate the new boot.img and old cust to the update.zip?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sharonsym:
haven't done this yet but seems like

extract

replace the files

rezip

should be ready to go
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:

edit..

worked zipping with winrar, dopus zip was the culprit. But build shows as 12 now.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:

Heeeelp please !!!

hello boys...i have one big problem...i upgrate my huawei mediapad to ICS 4.0...that version had bugs on my phone with market and browser....i need downgrate back to official honeycomb 3.2 but a i don´t know how i make it :( i try take "DLOAD" 3.2 rom on SD but it doesn´t work :( :( :( please help me anyone...please send me any tutorial STEP BY STEP how i take back official 3.2....sorry for my bad english........
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
Hello!

This is how I did it:

Copy dload folder from a Honeycomb ROM (I used Huawei Official Firmware

HUAWEI_S7-301u_FIRMWARE_adroid3.2_C232B012_General_version_05010SJR (international 3G version, use the last one for your country/region)) to an SD card.

Fully charge your mediapad and keep it connected to the charger during updates.

Turn off your mediapad, then insert that sd card into the device.

Power on your mediapad, press the "volume down" button until the little green anDroid appears

Wait until a message similiar to "Press power button for 10 secs or remove sdcard" appears

remove sd card, keep it removed

Mediapad starts up again, wait for lockscreen, then remove lock and wait for the update to finish (takes a few minutes with app install and firmware update)

Mediapad will automatically reboot

wait for lockscreen, then reinsert sdcard and rename "dload" folder with filemanager (to prevent flashing the update again)

done
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
This is the most important fact. I tried it for about half an hour and it din't work. Then i put the charger in and it worked perfectly.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sharonsym:

Are you getting TMobile 4g on B20? I only get a 3g indicator, and even then the speeds are pretty slow.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] jamezracer:
Does anyone know if this general flashing method works on the springboard too? I keep getting a "FAIL" message right after the green android appears. Thank you!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
The Indicator doesn't say anything. It's the same with 4G and H on other devices. With my mobile phone i get H in my area, and with the Mediapad only 3G. So it's not a big problem.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] alcuin:
It does. Make sure to put the files on the sd card, not the built-in memory.

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------

I'm on a borderline area, so my indicator switches between 3g and E(dge, 2g). Before I flashed to the Huawei builds, I had stock T-Mobile springboard firmware, which supports 1700/2100mhz frequencies, and would show a 4g indicator. I believe the Huawei builds don't support the 1700mhz frequencies. On my Galaxy Tab, it does show 4g and I see the difference on speedtest.net tests.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] jamezracer:
Looks like copying the files through the springboard left sd card in a strange format. Yanking it, formatting it, and copying the files directly through a card reader did the trick. Thank you.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] stinger32:
I'm running rom b15beta01 and there are some bugs with the battery level. Sometimes it says that battery is low and it also show low level on the meter but after reboot goes back to normal. It is also hard to transfer files to and from the mediapad sometimes it doesnt copy at all. Does any1 have a new rom or knows where to grab one?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sharonsym:
sometimes we need to calibrate the battery when using new ROM.

mine also having problem the battery level suddenly drop from 10% to zero...

when charging, it will start from 1% then 2%... then if unplugged the charger, the status show 12% instead of true 2%, and when we use it down to 10% it will drop suddenly to 0%.

calibrating the battery solve the problem perfectly...

please forgive my bad english ... :D
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] broken_symlink:
If I were to flash any of these roms on my Springboard, is it possible to go back to the T-Mobile rom if I don't like them?

I'd really like to get root. Also, I don't really need 4g, as I am on a pay as you go plan, and have just been using wifi for now.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] stinger32:
hmmm it destroys the files when transfered from mediapad memory to pc. Every file have the same name. Ill hope it will be more stable roms soon.

Edit. the faults wasnt in the rom it was the files that had faults.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rprice17:
Looking for some help

Two questions...

1. Which is the best beta rom to try? By best I mean most functional...preferably including gapps

2. Once I have the zip downloaded and the tab in fastboot, what command should I enter to flash?

Any help is much appreciated...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] stinger32:
does any1 know how to enable overclocking in the kernel?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mediapirate:
I've completed some testing on my T-Mobile Springboard, hopefully this helps others.

I didn't apply the update.zip since this replaced the boot.img and since we don't have a T-Mobile version to fall back on it would be a poor decision. I downloaded all the existing ROM's available 12, 20, ICS and flashed each of their system.img files. I've never lost my T-mobile 4G nor have I had any problems with the browser on any of the ROM's.

Steps:

1) Boot the tablet into recovery.

a. either from ADB use command 'adb reboot-bootloader'

b. reboot the device holding the volume - key

2) Wipe the existing system and user data using fastboot.

a. fastboot erase system -w

3) Flash system.img.ex4 from any of the available ROMs.

a. fastboot flash system system.img.ext4

4) Reboot the system

a. fastboot reboot

Here's a list of what works for each ROM using this method.

1) B20

The boot.img has problems with this system image. It will reboot a couple of times before success, however after a stable boot everything works. This reboot loop occurs every time you restart the device. You can, as a temporary solution use fastboot to boot the boot.img file "fastboot boot boot.img" which resolves the issue but at the cost of 4G service. I only tested this once, which solidified my theory that those with Springboards lost 4G because they flashed using update.zip which replaced the T-Mobile boot.img (kernel, modules).

2) B12

This is the most stable system.img.ext4 image I've flashed using the T-mobile boot.img. It's not as responsive as the B20 but I no longer experience consecutive failed starts after are reboot. I have this version as my daily driver, its rooted and I've cleaned up all the T-mobile bloatware.

3) ICS Beta

If you flash the system.img file from this build it will not boot using the default boot.img file. I had to make a few changes to get this to boot including using recovery.img, boot.img, it was unstable so I ended my testing and moved on.

Summary;

I've created a dd image of the boot partition for the Springboard which should fix the problem for T-Mobile users who performed the update.zip method and lost 4G. We could use the dd images for recovery, boot, data, system, custom to build our own update.zip file. I'm not that guy, :-) but I have extensive Linux, AD B experience I just lack the time to start the project. I would be happy to provide the images (minus user.img) :-) for anyone who wants to move forward.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
This would be awesome. Even if I don't own a springboard, it would be nice to see some progress. Maybe it'll motivate others. :)

PS. Nice idea to keep boot.img :)

new rom out b16
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sharonsym:
this raise question for me...

how about original huawei mediapad user (not the springboard)?

can we use springboard boot.img to get 4G ? :cool:

technically if mediapad is using MSM8260 then it should be able to handle 4G

i've been using B016 for 2 days... so far so good... much more stable than before... no more random shutdown, more fluid and stable browser. able to change user-agent is cool :cool:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] stinger32:
it seems like it has the msm8660 chipset from qualcomm http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mediapad-4264.php

able to change user-agent is cool ????

When you are able to change it, you may get some extra features on some sites.

Is it possible to update to this build without losing the data partition with all installed apps/settings? (I'm currently running rooted b12 with telephone apk)

I've seen and used the fastboot method for applying root without losing data, but I'm guessing B16 has a new kernel and boot partition as well?

I really miss a separate forum for the Mediapad, this thread is getting really cluttered. :(

I have questions about Huawei MediaPad rom b16 (stock version found on Huawei's homepage).

1. Can anyone say whether it is multilingual, if so is Swedish included.

2. Can you use Huawei MediaPad-phone app, and in a post in the forum there is someone using rom15 beta version with "App2SD" feature see post#68 is that incorporated in the original version of rom16 or is root version required.

3. If root is required how stable is Jipjoys version and is it multilingual.

If this been posted in wrong forum i apologize
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] henel321:
Bummer.. :( Feels awful when you're used to the incremental updates of the Asus Transformer or CWM-flashed ROMs. But considering how nice and inexpensive this hardware is maybe we'll see a modding community sprawling with life in the months to come. :p

The S3i are Iphone headphones, and the don't work. I tried my HTC stock headset as well and no luck.

Update: Tried a third HTC headset and it worked like a charm. (The first one appears broken.) Unfortuantely that means my awesome and expensive old S3i:s aren't working with the Mediapad, but its awesome to be able to use a headset for skype/phone anyway. :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Munk0:
Non Huawei owner, Samsung Tab 7" T-Mobile USA owner here with questions:

A little background first:

With my Samsung Tab 7" I can make calls and use 2G/Edge. But, I can also swap modem drivers and reboot into straight 3G only mode. By hiding the IMEI information from T-Mobile they do not block my internet access and redirect me to a web page about upgrading or something like that. I don't have SMS but instead use Google Voice to get free text messaging.

So my questions:

1) With the Huawei Springboard can I make phone calls, 2G/3G/4G on Tmobile?

2) Do I have to do some fancy swapping of modem driver like I'm currently doing on the Samsung Tab?

3) SMS doesn't matter to me but it seems that it works fine for you folks.

4) Last question is, can I purchase the Mediapad and get all of these things to work or do I have to purchase the Springboard because it supports the 1700/2100 bandwidth for the U.S. frequencies?

Thank you everyone in advance. The Huawei Mediapad/Springboard seems like a fantastic device and I look forward to having everything work together in one device.

Thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] netfortius:
[A] ref 1): Worked for me using GrooveIP app (tied into Google voice, of course), but [HW-wise] w/no success using a headphone (only built-in mic and speakers - see below)

I have two more questions to append to the above:

5) Is the microUSB interface allowing charging of the device (albeit possibly slower)?

6) What kind of headphone would someone recommend? I tried a few android smartphone compatible ones, then an iPhone compatible one, and the mic didn't work on either (see above), whereas the speakers worked. I remember my adventures in the Nokia world (E61, E71, N900, etc.), where the placement of connecting "rings" was different than any other stds, thus thinking of "is it possible that Huawei uses yet again another std? ... or else?

i'm not US resident and using huawei mediapad (not springboard)

in my country, mediapad ship with ROM version that have no phone call ability.

but we can get the phone call function by upgrading the ROM from huawei website and installing the mediapad phone apk. This require no fancy things, you can get the function even without ROOT. Just download and install the apk will work.

sms works, but have some compatibility issue with apps like Go sms pro. it works with those apps, but it won't show contact name / photo.

so we're stuck with the stock phone call / sms apps

with the new ROM, usb charging works... the battery status will still on charging state, but actually it charge... and yeah it's very slow... we need to leave it plugged overnight until it charge to full.

Alright, so since I have this wonderful space by accident, I figured I'd make perfect use of it by writing a little reference guide for everyone who knows nothing about the Xperia PLAYs out there. Why, again? Because being seasoned in T-Mobile Sidekick 4G Android Development / Modding didn't help me one bit.

N00B Reference Guide (yay!)

​

ROOTING:

This is when you give yourself "super user" permissions to make wonderful changes to your phone.

HOW TO ROOT:

Original Thread Here.

Download DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit.

Extract the toolkit anywhere.

Enable USB Debugging.

Enable Unknown Sources.

Plug phone into USB cable and USB cable into computer.

Let Windows Update download the drivers, or install them yourself (will link here later).

Execute "runme.bat".

Follow on-screen instructions.

CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY: This is a handy tool that allows you to write wonderful things to the phone, such as zip files packed with themes, mods, ROMs, etc. Also handy, it allows you to backup and restore your phone.

HOW TO INSTALL CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY:

Original Thread Here.

Download ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 Easy Installation.

Extract the toolkit anywhere.

Enable USB Debugging.

Enable Unknown Sources.

Plug phone into USB cable and USB cable into computer.

Let Windows Update download the drivers, or install them yourself (will link here later).

Execute "install-cwm1.cmd".

Follow on-screen instructions.

FASTBOOT: This is a mode that you can put the phone into by holding the search key and plugging the phone into a USB port while the phone is powered off. This is the feature that saves your butt when you screw up by allowing you to use a command line interface to push files and commands to the phone. Do NOT toy with this unless you're sure you understand the instructions and are willing to risk bricking your phone... also pray that you never mess up your ability to enter this mode.

HOW TO FASTBOOT:

Download Fastboot package.

Download phone drivers.

BOOTLOADER: This is what starts before Android OS, and tells the phone how to do so.

UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER: You need to do this so that you can flash different kernels to the phone, which bring better features and allow better ROMs.

HOW TO UNLOCK THE BOOT LOADER: If you're phone is a model R800X (Verizon Wireless, United States), you're screwed (will update this later). If your phone ISN'T a model R800X, follow the instructions here.
