Hello !

You can to try to put back stock recovery , than go into stock recovery and try a factory reset and wipe all what you find there !

Right now put UPDATE.APP in your microSD card in the right folder ( you can easily extract microSD sdcard and copy UPDATE.APP in Windows, after that put back microSD sdcard.

At this time disconnect USB cable from your device , put back microSD card and try to flash UPDATE.APP by hardware key combo ( don't know if it works like P6 : keep and press : power button, volume up & down - about 10~12 sec -> now update should start automatically !

Good luck !

Unfortunately my phone seems to now have a dead simcard 1, 'Not Happy' as I got replacement simcards today to test the duel sim functionality etc

surdu_petru Where is the stock recovery for the l00 though? I cant seem to find it using my googlefu and tried to temp remote load the twrp recovery with a failed remote command.

Was just looking at if I could back the rom up.

As I probably need to send this for warranty luckily I bought it from a seller in Australia just incase something like this happened im not going to be doing much figuring out roms updates etc till after everything is done and sorted out.

Im starting to really love the phone also and I haven't started properly using it yet :(

[Huawei Ascend P7] drguild:
That link 404's
[Huawei Ascend P7] pyb38:
The key combo didn't work. So I can't update through this method.

I found a custom ROM on 4pda.net that I put on my µSD card then I flashed it with the recovery and it worked.

Now I can turn on my phone and use it !

Next step will be to update the ROM which is in B117 version.

Thank for your help.

I found this site with some roms etc may be useful for some of you.

It says CWM and stock recovery for L00 and thers a link for the other models (L00 / L05 / L07 , stock and cwm are listed) Seems to have the right files but im not going to test due to warrrenty stuff.

The link above that olegusss posted is not found 404 error.

If the links go down for the recoveries etc please just pm and I'll upload it for you and give you a working link.

I'm still awaiting the guy to sort out what to do with warranty etc he messaged me last night and said the slot was the simcard, which I messaged him back saying I had gotten two new sealed simcards from different companies optus/virgin and they both work in my old phone and the other slot.

What is happening is the right / top pins of slot 1 aren't making contact with the simcard hence why no card is found now, this is very obvious as there is no track marking on the simcard from that pin which would had made the normal scrape mark line.

Even the older simcards didn't have that line from that pin on this phone through the slot was kinda working at the time it looks like the slot wasn't working properly they had all the lines from my old phone though.

Also the tray was not going in and out properly when I got it (jamming on that pin I assume) and then suddenly freed up a couple days ago when the slot stopped totally working.

This is all pointing to broken or something going on with those pins.

If any of you have new simcards in this phone can you send me a photo on pm or here of the data / pin area with the supposedly 3 lines from the slot 1 pins. Be careful taking the sim out not to break anything.

I want to see what you guys have in the markings for comparisons.

Be careful, the latest update for the P7-L00 relocks your Phone!!!

I luckally had the unlock code allready but if you do not have it and you have flashed a custom recovery your Phone will be softbricked!!

Looks like Huawei does not like their phones beiing installed with custom firmware??????

Also restore Data is not possible from TRWP afther the update, have to restore phone completely to 122 to get restore data to work again....

No more updating this phone for me for now.

I reply to myself :)

Thanks to a ROM found on 4pda I flashed a B122 on my P7-L00 and everything is back to normal ... or not ! I had problem with the root management. My phone said it was rooted but the apps didn't work.

So I restored the original recovery, removed all root apps (SU or Kinguser) and apply an update with a stock ROM version B119 (so a downgrade !) from a µSD card and it worked.

I rooted my phone with the succes with RootGenius (which didn't work with B122), I removed set_immutable.list to install Xposed (which seems to be compatible with Huawei devices in its last version), I also removed all Chinese apps that I 'don't need.

So, for now, I have the phone almost like I want ... last step will be to update it.

Will I lose the root ? Will the set_immutable.list file come back ?

Thanks,
[Huawei Ascend P7] arthios:
I found TWRP won't work if set_immutable.list is present, and it doesn't matter if the file is empty or not. For my variant, I applied all the updates and didn't lose root but set_immutable came back. So I flashed a boot.img from an earlier build, and then removed set_immutable. It's a nice phone but Huawei doesn't make life easy. I've kept my B119 update in case I need to rebuild. I'm starting to think the updates aren't worth the trouble once you have the phone working the way you want.
[Huawei Ascend P7] jkmaxfli:
Where did you get compatible Xposed framework ?

I tried to install it , Xposed was fully functional , but I have not worked any modules , I mean , they did not react to the changes made modules.

Gravity box for kitkat after installation does not start at all .

And different modules for installing and running do not respond to changes.

set_immutable I removed root and busy box installed.
[Huawei Ascend P7] samsungandriod:
Question: if you get rid of the boot sound ( by root genius), can you still get OTA firmware update in the future?

In huawei website, there is an option to 'unlock' the device:

http://en.club.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=apply

has anyone tried this? i mean to unlock it ? i have a dual sim phone ( with China Unicom firmware). i just wondering if i unlock it, will i be able to get factory OTA firmware update? so far, i have two OTA update after receiving the p7 for just a week. so i dont want to lost the OTA firmware update function.
[Huawei Ascend P7] gommers1978:
Yes i unlocked the phone following the instructions on this website:Unlock bootloader P7-L00

use google translate to read the instructions.

You will still have OTA updates but i found out that with the last update over OTA the bootloader gets locked again on my P7-L00 so be careful with updates!!

Also looks like the updates do not have allot of new features etc. looks more like updates to prevent your phone from being customized :(
[Huawei Ascend P7] samsungandriod:
thanks for your help. so if even i remove the chinese unicom bootloader, and the phone reset to factory default. but next OTA update, i have to repeat the same process again? i mean to re-install every apps if i everytime i remover the chinese bootloader?

i also have another question: i have found that in the factory ' contact' i cannot add my google account to let the contact sync to my google contact, so i have to use my outlook ( as it allow add exchange account) contact. is there a way to make the google contact to work on this dual sim p7? what exactly do i need to do?

cheers
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Use Xposed 2.5, this version works.

I use only xposed and xprivacy 2.0.20
[Huawei Ascend P7] mr.mrcn:
Hmm.. I applied last OTA update on my L00 and I still have unlocked bootloader...
[Huawei Ascend P7] gommers1978:
The B123SP01 update did not lock the bootloader on your phone? I have deleted allot of chinese crap so my updating process is a little different i have to make a backup with TRWP recovery, then restore the system files of a full rom. After that i can update the rom again after restoring original recovery and then remove set_immutable.list again. After that i need to restore TRWP recovery again and then restore my data only....

But i could not restore data on the B123SP01 rom so i will stay at B123 for now. Everything works OK so i do not see the reason to upgrade anymore......

If there is a simpler way i would like 2 know......

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

If you create a backup with TRWP you can restore all your apps and settings. Only your internal storage will be deleted so make an backup.

If your bootloader does not lock with the update then NO, if it does lock like mine then YES.

Install GAPPS on your phone trough TRWP download it from the internet (i have installed the pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20140608-signed) version. I can sync my contacts now. The contact sync adapter is missing in the chinese ROM.

First clear pictures of P7: http://weibo.com/3030737153/B217kCBBD?ref=home

Now i understand why those earlier leaked pics did not show the bottom curve. The plastic portion used for the curve is a shorter span and hence the curve is not as visible in those pics, and also the there is curve at the sides of the bottom..

Edit: better pics here: http://www.nowhereelse.fr/huawei-ascend-p7-blanc-serie-marche-97080/

IMHO, the P7 is clearly more refined looking although nothing of drastic change that would have once again gave it the best looking phone award. But google up the pics of p6 and compare with the P7 then you can clearly see the p7 looks refined and i would expect much better feel when hands on too. I would have wished the side bezels were made thinner though.

Now im waiting to see if the Vivo xshot might come up with a better premium look.
[Huawei Ascend P7] warea:
Size and weight according to pdadb.net :

Dimensions:	65.65 x 132.6 x 6.5 millimetres

Mass:	120 grams (battery included)

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=6066

Also im guessing another reason for using glass material on p7 is to maybe avoid the issue of heating :confused:

Edit:

The German Huawei blog specs its dimensions as:

139.8 x 68.8 x 6.5 mm

124g

http://www.huaweiblog.de/news/huawei-ascend-p7-vs-huawei-ascend-p6-vergleich/

Not bad either way, with a few mm increase they increase the screen to 5inch and battery by 500mah.

Also from evaleaks:
[Huawei Ascend P7] warea:
As i suspected, the Vivo xshot might just take away the lime light of P7. New leaks show it could be a 5inch device and thin enough, and looks premium enough to compete or outdo P7, plus the super beast specs.

More details on specs http://weibo.com/3030737153/B2sPu4Gmt?ref=home

Seems like they designed one of the slots in such a way that it could support a nano sim as well as a SD card. Would be cool if both SD card and nano sim could be supported at one time, but most likely it would only support one at a time.

^not as great as the renders. Huawei must be having a sigh of relief.
[Huawei Ascend P7] ericmaxman:
I've had the opportunity to try the P7 last few weeks.

And boy it feels premium. It has a glass back much like the Nexus4, but much much slimmer.

Also, the one I tested already had a Kitkat ROM installed...
[Huawei Ascend P7] warea:
Lucky you :p

Loads of questions:

Did you use the high end version or standard version ? Any details on the difference between the two ?

Does the glass back cause any grip problems ? And do you think its susceptible to getting cracked (the metal on p6 might be prone to worn out paint and light scratches but atleast it wont get a big crack, so i was wondering if that's a disadvantage of glass on p7)? Is the back removable ?

And how about the performance of p7 (in comparison to the nexus 5 and an HTC m8 lets say) ?

Does it have the off screen tap to wake up/unlock feature ? We p6 users already have Kitkat and emotion ui 2.0, and wondering what major changes were on the emui2.3 of p7.

And last thing, any knowledge of the pricing in international markets ?

Im guessing from the fact that you in Malaysia got to test the device, that the P7 would be available internationally very soon after release.

Edit: one more question, is the kernel updated to 3.4 or still at 3.0.8 ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] GalaxySIIII:
http://www.gizmochina.com/2014/05/03/huawei-p7-only-6-18mm-thickness/
[Huawei Ascend P7] ericmaxman:
1. No indication of standard or high end version. I'm not clear what are the differences

2. AFAIK, the P6 has the tendency to be a tab bit too sharp around the edges, but the P7 seems to have fixed that issue. Grip wise, no problem for me. Average Asian sized hands :p

3. Didn't managed to run any benchmarks. sorry

4. Yup, if memory serves me right it has.

5. No info regarding pricing though.

6. Didnt pay much attention to the kernel as I was too busy fondling the actual phone. Loved the premium feel of it
[Huawei Ascend P7] engid87:
on my side, I only have one question I would like to ask: what about physical size of the phone? is it much bigger than the p6 (mostly width)

thanks ;)
[Huawei Ascend P7] warea:
There was side by side comparison pic i posted via weibo, but it got deleted from weibo so not available. Edit: actually the pic is available link.

From the looks of it, the height has increased by a finger tip (although not a major change for a p6 user, but in a way i still feel uncomfortable that phones are getting taller and taller every year, and if the p7 was released last year i would have have found it too large for my taste. But then fact that it is slim and light removes much of the problems in handling and gives bigger screen for games and browsing), and so has the width increased by a finger tip (but the width still looks fine for the thumbs to reach the end when holding with one hand).
[Huawei Ascend P7] engid87:
ok thanks! that's the main concern for me, as I have rather small hands and find my One X+ a little uncomfortable to use with one hand.. we'll see in 2 days :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] mr.mrcn:
vidingis describes

I had B121, then I updated it via OTA to B122, and then to B123SP01. Next I booted the phone into bootloader and flashed TWRP, so I was able to install supersu and gapps via TWRP. After boot I deleted all chinese crap and restored all my apps with Titanium.
[Huawei Ascend P7] pyb38:
You're right. I went a little faster in my conclusion.

Xposed Installer is OK. Module can be downloaded and installed but they didn't work (I tried 2 without succes).
[Huawei Ascend P7] samsungandriod:
really helpful. as i am using dual sim cards, can i install TRWP/ GAPPS directly from google play ( not via pc?). do i need to root the phone first in order to get the contact sync to work? or simply just install GAPPS? i used to have note 2, and with 32G sd card, but with this P7-l00, i decide to use only internal storage, does it mean that i cannot do TRWP backs? or if there is a way to backup to somewhere like cloud? I have also found that P7-L00 does not have google backup, instead, just huawei or other chinese backup .....
[Huawei Ascend P7] jkmaxfli:
Then it is Xposed broken when there is no work additional modules.

It is useless. :(
[Huawei Ascend P7] pyb38:
I agree.

Nevertheless, I tried a tip I saw somewhere on XDA which says to modify the line ro.config.hwtheme=2 in the build.prop file by ro.config.hwtheme=0. It still didn't work (with the Mods I tested) but it's removed the uggly Huawei themes which is a good thing !

[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Enable debug mode or plug in the phone on your computer.

Choose HiSuite. And then you can use the Android sdk tools (adb.exe reboot bootloader) or use Root Genius.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Superwitschi:
you can also root it with vroot!
[Huawei Ascend P7] samsungandriod:
thanks guys for all your kind help. some update now, tried the latest vroot, Rootgenius, etc, i can see the root process, but failed at the end, but no of them works with P7-L00 (latest firmware installed). Looks like Huawei has been under pressure from China telecom/ Unicom, etc to make the firmware more secure. have to wait for a little while till some one can figure out what need to do to get the P7-L00 rooted. basically, the new firmware does not allow root access ( from any current popular root software), neither i can get int he fastboot mode by long pressing the volume- and power bottom. so what should i do next?
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Is the phone really enabled debug mode?

Alternative way you can root it:

Go to the emui site and request an unlock code for the bootloader and follow the instruction there.

Then flash TWRP via adb.

In TWRP mount /system and go into the terminal command and type this command: chattr -i /system/set_immutable.list

And then flash supersu via TWRP.

And your phone is rooted.

But this alternative root way, Huawei know that's you have unlocked your phone.
[Huawei Ascend P7] samsungandriod:
Hi, yes, the debug is enabled. i have other samsung phone rooted before. but this time, i really tried all the different way, but still not work.
