after updating to last ics build (root) is my mediapad random restarting, have this symptoms anybody next?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] monkeydrufy:
try to reinstall it
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:
Do you have wifi enabled during these reboots?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sclavux:
yes...i try disable, for testing
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klacik:
this is excellent news!

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

i've just updated my MediaPad without any problems or restarts.. post your full update procedure, maybe you did something wrong..

i'm now going to try the root and the gapps, posted by zombolo (sanixupdate) so i would be able to make a titanium backup restore from the old (b01) ics version.. i will post my findings..

btw. zdravim zo slovenska ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:
I have to confirm that wifi drivers are bugged in this version. If you try to disable and re-enable them a few time during your session, the tablet will crash and reboots.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sclavux:
yes, this can be..because restarts starts if a changed setting in advanced wifi settings "keep wifi on during sleep" from always to never, btw tiez zdravim :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:
Yup, it's a known bug.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Xanderful:
Yeah the wifi is bugged in the ICS V2 build, I downloaded an app call "wifi fixer" though and it will reconnect me everytime I loose connection.

Sorry just caught up, guess we are on V3, downloading now for my Springboard/Mediapad and Ill let those Springpad people know if I still have data.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] myunitisz:
Anyone ever Bork there charging when installing rom..I had a failed attempt when flashing the hybrid rom now it won't charge

Perfect, so I will prepare a root ready version.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] h25p:
If the download from the 115.com server is too slow for you press on the arrow to the right on the grey button and choose another server (actually the second one seems to be quite fast).
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:
Very stable version, way better than the chinese one!

Wi-Fi fixed, all GAPPS included, smoothest than Honeycomb: Huawei released a masterpiece firmware! Download ICS International now!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] henel321:
Sounds great. I was just about to install the Chinese one - good thing I checked here one last time before jumping... :)

Eagerly awaiting a pre-rooted image!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:
A root-ready version will arrive in about 3 hours (sorry, my uplod speed is weak, 30/kbs)

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Raichean:
Hey guys.. checking in again. Will the official ROM build (as that is what it appears is available) work on the TMO US Springboard version? I am checking the huawei site right now, but want to check before I do damage.

thanks!

I sit me or is the latest ICS couldn't shut down?

if I long press the power button and pick power off.. it only took me to deep sleep??

This please.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:
Root-ready international version: http://depositfiles.com/files/9f8mfimjz

Install as usual.

After installing the rom you can root: copy sanixupdate folder to the root memory of the tablet (not in the microsd). Reboot and you are ready!

To shutdown the Mediapad keep pressing power button, otherwise through the menu it will go in deep sleep only.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klacik:
you're the best! :)

gonna try this immediately after download..

i'm now on the latest chinese (b011) and it seems like a great build.. rooted, with gapps, nova launcher, now trying the latest go launcher beta 2.. many things work that haven't worked in the first ICS b001..if the international version is even better, than Huawei is really on the right path!

Upgrade from HC

Hi,

I'm currently on HC rom and preaparing for update to ICS.

I've got important question for all users in similiar siuation. Is there way to flash new rom and keep the installed apps?

Eg. Can I backup apps with Titanium backup (free) and restore them after flashing? What about data, ebooks etc...? Profiles and logins?

Is there any other way to keep the all this stuff?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] daisun:
To use titanium backup you'll need to have root. I never rooted HC before but if you search this thread you should find it.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
Installed and rooted,- plus the Sixaxis app works with the mediapad.

What launcher do people use? I have been with go launcher ex, but its a little heavy on resources. Tried go launcher hd but some freezes.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Leion:
is this beta?

how come I cannot find it on the huawei english site?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Allesa:
Any word on whether previous issues with the chinese version fixed or is it just simply an international version of it with gapps included?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Xanderful:
Install as usual, because it is buried so deep in this thread,

1. Download from the link, ( or any link for a ROM for the mediapad)

2. Extract the DLOAD file from the zip folder, extract the Sanix update from the zip folder

3. plug in your Springboard/MediaPad, browse to your external or internal SD card ( I prefer an external SD card) and copy the DLOAD file to the root (not inside of any folder) of the card.

Do not copy the Sanixupdate to the the root yet ( I had issues with the last one because I did this)

4. Once Dload is copied to the root of the SD card, power the device off. You will know it is off because you will not be able to tap the power button to turn it on.

Once it is off, hold the powerbutton + the volume up button simultaneously til you feel the first vibration. If done right you will boot into the clockwork android and it will start installing the new ROM.

5. Let it do its thing and follow the onscreen directions. Once its done with everything take out the external sd card (it may reflash on its own).

6. Once fully booted into your mediapad (its not a springboard anymore). Let it register your SIM card (springboards) then access your sd card (internal is what I used) and copy sanixupdate to root. Reboot and look for superuser. If you have superuser, you have root!!

the wifi cannot read the adhoc....only can read AP hotspot....

can anyone change this setting like another android phone to enable read adhoc from the laptop????

my laptop wifi is not support AP....

thanks....
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] myunitisz:
im pretty excited for ICS hope it works well....casue i really hate this tablet
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Xanderful:
With the newest ics on here its working really well
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] handisnacks:
This again.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:
From a chinese rom (about International ICS):

Power button + volume left-to 2 seconds will pop up the shutdown menu (no deep sleep)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kamelot.sk:
is this update official and final ICS for MediaPad, or just another beta version for testing purposes? It is not posted here on official download page http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0 and also I was not able to find any relevant information anywhere.

thanks.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] comec:
There you can find only a Honeycomb ROM (B016) and no ICS... ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Leion:
Then this ICS rom we have here, is it beta or a production leak?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
Bout Time! BIG OL' THANK YOU!!!

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Ditto. I'm pretty sure it works on both, but has anyone installed this latest ICS root on Springboard and can confirm everything works?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lukemeedad:
I have a problem with Amazon kindle reader. It cannot display any text, just blank screen. This is the same problem as zinio reader on this build of ICS. Any help ???
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] myunitisz:
I installed it on the springboard. Haven't tested everything but data works I was pulling in 6mbps
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
Just remembered, I used to use AppMonster Pro alot with my G2x, was just easier then Titanium when I just wanted specific apps. Just checked and it works w/ the mediapad/springboard as well, root is not required. It backs up all your .apks, but not data. Lose progress in games and such, but it's better then nothing. Backing up myself now before doing the ICS upgrade.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zelduy:
You can backup apps easily with es explorer.. But the data is the important one.. I heard my backup pro can backup apps and data without root...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
Copied dload folder to the root of internal memory, rebooted to recovery. I get a big ol' red "FAIL" in the middle and "Upgrading failed. Press POWER key for 10 seconds to restart".

Springboard, using the international build that zombolo posted.

Any ideas?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zelduy:
Corrupted?? Try to put it in the external card insted of the internal storage...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klacik:
yep.. you need to put the "dload" folder on EXTERNAL memory (ie micro sd card), not the internal..

dload -> Micro SD (external)

sanixupdate -> Internal memory
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
possible. My sd card is currently full of crap on my G2x. Loaded a Cyanogen ROM a few weeks ago and it uses the external as main storage.

Corruption could be likely. When trying to copy the folder to the springboard via USB, it straight up wouldn't copy. Progress bar wouldn't move and a minute later it would say couldn't be copied. If I zipped the folder, moved it, extracted in ES Explorer I could get the dload folder on there.

Corruption likely could have happened along the way. Will try and figure out another way to copy.

BTW... I HATE MTP!

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Off to buy another microCD. In the instructions posted a couple pages back it said internal or external, hence trying it internal. Thanks for clarification.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eses1234:
FAIL

Ugh..... I have also got the "FAIL" during update. Now, after reboot it always go to flashing screen and fails. I had previously "combined and rooted" ROM HC3.2 from this thread.

Actions I've just done:

1. Downloaded the ROM using a link from one of "post reply" posts (not original one) - but looks like they are pointing to the same place

2. Unzipped in Win machine copied just dload folder to SDHC card using SDHC USB reader.

3. Put Card back in Pad + restart with Volume UP And...... got FAIL when it was updated about 25%. Repated few times, always fail at 25%

3. I've repeated p.3 renaming old "dload" to "dlloadaaa" and put new copy od "dload" to the card (wanted to avoid writing th the same place) and this time it didn't reach even 10%. Now always fail at 10%.

Did I brick this thing? Can the tab be recovered?

Will second SD help and pad can be recovered after this partial fail?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] myunitisz:
Is this tab slow for anyone else? It slows down so badly sometimes
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
Done and Done!! Running smooth, REAL quick and snappy. Got text messaging now.

Only issues so far is that I have a voicemail!? Can't figure out how to get rid of the icon. Clicked it, get a message saying calls are blocked cause it's not on my plan. Don't see any clear/remove button on the notification.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Raichean:
Well I will get the image tonight and am looking forward to trying the upgrade! *nervous smile* wish me luck!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klacik:
first of all, this is still a beta firmware, so... there may still be some bugs..

BUT

if you two are talking about the performance of the launcher, try Go launcher EX HD (beta 2 - http://shrewdgeek.com/2012/03/03/go-launcher-hd-beta-2-version-released-for-tablets/) or Apex launcher (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538388).. i've tryed both of them, and they're better than the stock launcher.. after that, install a home switcher app from Google play , so you can switch between them easily..

they've got many options, so you can set then as you like..

i think the mediapad is a really great hw, but the software for it isn't very optimized.. untill someone makes a custom rom/kernel for this device, we need to tweak them ourselves :)

i've got the latest international beta, rooted, apex launcher, many apps and the device just flyes :)

oh.. and one more thing.. i'm using a titanium backup which have a fuction of uninstalling/freezing system apps, so anything you don't need you can uninstall/freeze.. but beware!! you may render your device unoperable and may need a re-flash if you do something wrong here..

i'm also testing some build.prop tweaks but i'm not going to post them now, because i'm not very familiar with this.. i've only searched other forums for tweaks of other similar devices, so i'm trying them on my own and if break something i know who to blame :P
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
sanix has made a new root "root_cf.04".

"Titanium backup installed, running Su will be prompted the first time what is incompatible what can fix, I do not know if you can solve this problem? ... Yes, the new version root_cf.04.rar has now fixed this problem"

Also the gmail.apk has moved to /cust/hw/normal/app Would have guessed it would be in system/app?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] monkeydrufy:
Sorry guys,

Any info about the huawei app like all backup, cloud, etc.?

thanks

It was slow on stock honeycomb ill give the new launchers a try
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Raichean:
Just flashed my Springboard to the ICS and works absolutely wonderfully! This is a VERY VERY positive change at this point!

Question - apparently I have a voicemail? (huh?) But because TMO dont run these as phones, when I try to check it, it says that phone calls are not supported.

That is fine.. but I would love to get rid of the VM reminder icon? Any way of turning that off?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] irsa_adinugraha:

how to play Modern Combat 3 on this mediapad honeycomb ....i have the sd data for andreno....but when i play this game it show " your divice not compatible with this game" what should i do....????
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] magus57:
Since I still can't find the answer to my question, any chance you know? Does the Springboard support GSM voice with the ICS update? As in, putting in a regular phone SIM (and deleting the /efs directory to hide the IMEI, if necessary) rather than the included data SIM?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Raichean:
No clue.. I wish I could tell you, sorry.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] v35lee:
Springboard now an ICS Mediapad - thanks zombolo and Xanderful

Flashed this new version to my T-mobile Springboard last night and wanted to say thanks to zombolo for the new version files and to Xanderful for the nice instructions I followed to upgrade.

Big thrill to see the android w/ gears in step 4 and then the new Huawei MediaPad startup screen. And no more T-mobile jingle everytime it boots!

Seems to be working well, but I could only get through steps 1-5. Couldn't seem to do step 6. How do you copy the sanixupdate to the root of the device? I couldn't see a way to do it with the built in 'File Manager'.

I installed ES File Explorer which at least lets me see the device root directory but it will give me an error when trying to copy the sanixupdate folder there. I put the folder in the internal memory /sdcard and then installed the apk, but don't think that gets me 'rooted'.

Any advice for this noob would be appreciated.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ssjin4mer:
Thank you zombolo and Xanderful. Most appreciated the instructions as well. When the forum gets to many pages, it's difficult to navigate. I hope the admins will put together all the instructions and procedures in a sticky for easy navigation.

For step 6, you need to place the sanixupdate into the root of your internal SD card. Then reboot the mediapad and it should automatically detect and update. It didn't mention installing the apk so try what I've suggested and if it doesn't work, maybe reinstall it again?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] myunitisz:

I can confirm it. Adobe reader starts up, but only blank page showing. Same document and thinkfree is ok.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
Did a factory reset, format internal sd and reflash still no go. Adobe apps stops at a black screen, with a thin line of corrupt graphic at the top.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rara Avis:
Sorry for noob question, but...

Is TMO Springboard's modem SIM-locked on hardware level, or by firmware?

The question is - if reflashing with general Huawei ROM would unlock it?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] magus57:
Wait, seriously?

This really changes things for me...I don't know whether to go with the HTC Flyer 3G for the Scribe pen or the Springboard for the dual-core processor and higher-res screen...the Springboard would be a bit cheaper too, especially without the Scribe pen...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] linux99x:
is there a FREE way to network unlock from tmobile with a rooted ics former springboard now mediapad. tmobile i have 30 days until they will do it and i dont want to pay when i am sure i can get it free.

Quick Question

Okay so I have read all 75 pages and I can see what I need to do in order to get my Springboard up and running ICS. The question is what are the downsides to doing this? Will I lose my hi speed data (ie 4G) or is it just that the device doesn't show the icon any longer? I don't need to make phone calls with this text would be nice but not having it isn't a deal breaker for me. I'm torn between just doing it and waiting for the off chance that T Mobile releases a version of ICS for this specific device.

Thanks,

Kirby
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
Don't know if you guys have noticed it but we are now in the new MediaPad forum part, and I also got PM from Forum Admin svetius that it's now oficial.

Its worth it to upgrade to ICS on T-Mobile shouldn't be a major reduction in speed I never did test prior to flashing ICS but right now I'm getting about 6mbps
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] jmacourek:
I dont know what means tmobile 4g, but here in Czech Republic with Vodafone iam getting 10mbit download and 2mbit upload speeds on latest ics. So i think, that 4g is only marketing brand not different from common umts hsdpa/hsupa network.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rkwhyte2:
Cool I think I'm going to do it. One question did you just pop the dload on to the external card and flash away or had you done anything to unlock the device prior?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
Definitely worth the upgrade. You don't lose any speeds or functions at all.

One question though, does anyone know how to turn it completely off? Not just this deep sleep or whatever it is.
