I'll suggest you to install the patch from blefish if you are using B522, B526 or B528 as rom base.

You don't know when will be helpful to have a bootloader unlocked.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] badiyee:
Question, how would I know my base ROM? I have read the thing, but there isn't a way in my status to know that its a B522, B526 or a B528 based ROM.

Answer: Look at the code of the installer:

E.G:

U8800V100R001C00526G001 means I have base 526 installed (LOCKED BOOTLOADER)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bdgraue:
at least after installing you will find the information in the area yoou mentioned yourselve. :)

if you use the original rom, the version should be in the filename. (U8800_Android 2.3 V100R001C00B528G001%28通用版%29.zip for me)

Wait, is your current recovery CWM recovery? If yes, try installing Aurora ICS. If no, first try rooting your phone and installing CWM recovery.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kilroystyx:
Official Huawei GB roms have 3 different bootloaders, B517, B518 and B522, the first two are unlocked this mean you easily can reach to eMMC via pink screen. For B522 bootloader that comes into rom B522, B526 and B528 Huawei changed the way how to communicate, so we can’t reach eMMC via pink screen mode. To check if it is unlocked in pink screen mode connect to PC, if you can see the folder “image” your bootloader is unlocked.

Blefish explained in his topic that you have more chances to recover your device from soft-brick if you have a unlock bootloader because you are able to restore your device with a previous full backup done with “dd” command or with a similar program used in windows platform.

Change partition size have a high risk to corrupt them and get a soft-brick.

To have more chances to recover my device I usually follow some steps before start play with roms, see my checklist:

-	Install B528

-	Root the device

-	Imei backup (if I haven’t done previously)

-	Install CWM

-	Flash Blefish’s patch, alternative I use my patch because I need my phone with SIM unlocked

-	Full backup (if I haven’t done previously)

-	Ready to play ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] badiyee:
I think at the time of writing AURORA ICS is the most stable, usage-ready, and most complete ROM as of writing. In the future hopefully the newer ROMs like Jelly Bean, Key Lime Pie and others will be able to fit in, and be a PROPER, USABLE ROM just like how AURORA ICS and the MIUI ICS was for this phone.

Ah, i forgot about the IMEI backup. But since mine wasn't an issue (just missing serial number, but can be found at the sticker behind phone (inside) anyways haha.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kilroystyx:
Imei backup = backup partition "mmcblk0p5", "mmcblk0p10" and "mmcblk0p11, have nothing to be with sticker behind the phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] badiyee:
Ah I'm not aware of that. In my phone there's a sticker that writes what IMEI and serial my phone has. Of course right now it shows except the serial number.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kilroystyx:
I know, all phones have this sticker... the point is IF your imei become nulled then restore with ToolBox5irom will be easier than use DFS.

Here's my story...

Bought used X5 for 15e cos it's was f****d up trying flash it to cm10.1.

With this topic i got it back to life. Thank you.

Couple of things i had to do differently.

1. I used other Root method as w/ Superclick all i got was not responding program on part #7. Common problem w/ that program.

I connected 3 parts as rebooting was pain in the ass.

--->root w/ B528-Root worked, then i did that remount thing...to put recover.img in it's place...still no reboot. Next was via terminal emulator to fix that boootloader 518-patch. (At least triple check what you wrote to there!!!) Then reboot and i got pink screen back. 1 big problem here...recovery not working. Damn..more banging head to a wall.

From this topic i found working CWM for my phone...they (phones) seem to be different after all. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2110860

Other times i used Linux but only on root i used windows.

u8800.

Hopefully this topic helps others.

This was my first Huawei flash. I'm used to flash i9001 so using cwm was easiest part.

ps. read original topics what are mentioned in op. There's couple of necessary links not seen in quotes.

ok do this just return it completely and reverse the upgrade you can do that if your under 14 days. they cant reverse the contract most likely so now att customer service will have to do that. after everything is back how it was go to an att store and use your upgrade and get 32gb. will work 1000%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] imitenotbecrazy:
With this method you will pay an additional upgrade fee. After 3 days, reversing the contract still incurs the upgrade fee. Then resigning the contract will produce another upgrade feel. Also, I doubt we'll be seeing much of the 32s at best buy

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joshcwang:
i originally bought the 16GB from Best Buy on may 3rd and then returned it on the 10th in hopes that they had the 32gb out...they told me that i was at least a month away until they got them in stores...and this was on may 10...so i returned the 16GB and they reversed the upgrade and activation fee and then i went across the street to my local AT&T store and bought it from them... the reversal of the upgrade from best buy was right away so i was able to use the same upgrade and just pay the 50 bucks more for the 32GB.... AT&T was also running a $100 off for trading in a old smartphone so i turned in an old OLD phone and ended up paying less than i originally paid for the 16GB at best buy
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsrijo:
instruction source - http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...70-p3110-root-android412-xxdma2-jellybean.htm

I bought my gtab2 few days back. It runs jellybean 4.1.2 Indian version, after going through different outdated rooting guides i thought it would be better if i ask this here. I am about to root my gtab2 following the ibntimes guide . Please tell me if i should do something different or if there's a better way to root. The guide looks fairly simple and straightforward though.

tab properties -

1) Install USB Driver for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 on the computer.

2) Enable USB Debugging Mode. [Press Menu>> Settings>> Applications. From there navigate and click on Development option and ensure the USB Debugging Mode is turned on.]

3) Rooting the tablet will void manufacturer's warranty.

4) The rooting is likely to increase binary counter.

5) Create back-up for all the data of the device.

6) The tablet should have more than 80 per cent of charge.

Steps to root Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3110 on Android 4.1.2 XXDMA2 Jelly Bean

1) Download CF-Auto-Root file for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 to the computer. Extract the downloaded zip to get a .tar.md5 file

2) Download Odin 3.07 and extract the zip to get Odin3 v3.07.exe along with few other files

3) Switch off the Galaxy tablet. Put the device into Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down and Power buttons together. A warning screen will appear, now press the Volume Down button to enter into Download Mode

4) Run Odin on the computer

5) Connect the Galaxy tab to the computer using USB cable while it is in the Download Mode. A message saying 'Added' will arrive under Odin's message box. When the device is connected successfully, the COM port with a number in Yellow will also appear

[Note: If the 'Added' message does not come then try another USB port. Try the port located at the back side of the computer. In case that does not work too then reinstall USB driver.]

6) In Odin, click the PDA button and select 'CF-Auto-Root-espressowifi-espressowifixx-gtp3110.tar.md5' file

7) Ensure the Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time options are selected in Odin

8) Double check everything and click the Start button in Odin to begin the installation

9) Once the installation process is completed, the device will reboot automatically. And soon a 'PASS' message with green background will appear in the extreme left box at the top of the Odin. Now safely unplug the USB cable from the tablet

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3110 running on Android 4.1.2 XXDMA2 Jelly Bean firmware is now rooted successfully. To ensure the aforementioned root method is installed and working properly, verify with the Root Checker app which is available at Google Play Store.

Runs smooth for me on balanced mode besides the characters walking animation not being smooth. Every time he takes two steps I feel a slight stop and go in the game.

Thx for the reply. Looks like I might need to root my tablet. Since the 4. 2 update this tablet is very laggy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] codeinish:
The tf700 is too weak for this game (and others...).
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
I don't think the tablet being too weak for games would be correct. This tablet has the cpu/gpu to run them. There is something else that is keeping games from having full compatibility or smoothness with this tablet. You can search and find theories from game developers being too lazy to properly code or there being an underlining issue with Tegra3 chips that Nvidia never addressed but was supposedly working on a patch for. More likely it's the high resolution of the screen which we all ready know causes a performance hit. I don't see that as being week since it is giving us a beautiful picture when using the tablet for various tasks. For those running a custom rom, is there the option to lower the resolution of the screen for extra performance?

To the original poster, not make it sound like you don't know what your tablet is doing, but are you running anything in the background or accidentally have battery saver set? I will try downloading this game and see what I get performance wise. I'm running a fresh stock install of 4.1 firmware.

----------

No problems for me running the game on stock firmware 4.1. Ran it in both performance and balanced mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronniereiff:
Also im on cromi-x 4.5 with hunds 3.0.6 kernel today, running close to smooth with hunds kernel app that sets the cpu/gpu for games. Sadly i cant run the game on medium setting because the app wont save the settings after game relaunches :mad:

Edit: got it to change
[Asus Transformer TF700] codeinish:
I stated that the tf700 is too weak for

this

game.

I agree that the tf700 has got the potential to be a game perfomer, but unfortunately it ain't.

You elaborated the reasons for this and I think you're right.

Yet, we are not living in theories but in reality where game developers skip our device

(I tried to address some of them asking for a fix, but to no avail).

Here is an example of a correspondence I had with Get Set games inc.:

"Dear Dev,

My almost 2 year old daughter is mad about Mega Run (which she keep calling "Monkey Circles").

I am an old fan of Mega Run and Mega Jump too.

The issue is that the game's graphics are not optimised for the 10 inch screen of the Asus Infinity (TF700).

Therefore the graphics are a bit blurry.

I would appreciate it if you could help me find a solution for what I have described,

or maybe issue a version that will be optimised for our tf700's screen.

Hope my request will be considered since as I have written, we love your application.

Thanks with advance and keep up the good work.

REPLY

:

Thanks for getting in contact with us and for the feedback. It is great to hear that you and your daughter have been enjoying Mega Run. We have just release Mega Run on Android, and with that release we chose to only have one set of graphics at a medium/high resolution. The reason we chose to do this is that most Android devices fit this resolution very well. In the future, we hope to have higher resolution graphics for tablets such as the Asus Infinity.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Mike"

IMHO - this is not a standard machine... I should have learned this sooner (before I purchased it).

Anyways, the TF700 has it's strong areas: great device for playing all kinds of media and even some games.

The mSD slot is awesome and all in all I enjoy it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
It runs fairly well, actually. Frankly, it runs smoother than Skyrim ever did on my PC. :p (That game used to literally freeze every 2 steps to re-render the scene. Crappy coding from Bethesda... As per bloody usual.)

You could've known the game would be blurry. Games are made with the 'hyped' devices in mind: The Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy S3. Which both run 1280x800, as opposed to 'our' 1920x1200.. (Quite a significant size increase.)

Anything with a higher resolution is a HD version, and specifically has HD listed behind it. ('Angry Birds HD'.)

Give it +-six months. Then, the SGS4 and the Note 3 will be the top devices alongside the HTC One and the potential new Nexus. And developers will have no other choice but to finally make games and apps in HD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I agree with you that eventually 1920x1080 will be a common resolution for Android devices, but I still believe Tegra 3 is too weak to run those games at full HD resolution (all Full HD devices I know have either a Snapdragon S4 Pro or Snapdragon 600 to power that many pixels). I have seen quite a few games that lag miserably on my tf700, even if it is optimized for Tegra. Example, Beach Buggy Blitz (running at max setting of this game is a big no-no on my tf700).

As for Skyrim, I really have no complaint about frame drop and stuttering, it runs quite smoothly on my laptop. Nevertheless, given the diversity of PC hardware, it could just be that I was lucky to have fully compatible hardware.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
I don't agree : Dungeon Hunter 4 is very laggy on my tab and i am not playing that game anymore due to that issue. But i have played many hours to The Bard's Tale and it worked nearly perfectly (it would lag only when a lot of characters and huge effects, that means about 10 seconds every 4 hours) and bard's tale is imo more beautiful than dh4 and still it was developed in 2012 when hd screens were very rare. So imo the dh4 lag issue comes from poor design and programming.
