[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
I'd like to get rid of the Huawei UI and get something clean like AOSP or CM.

Do we have any roms yet?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] joytest:
None so far. It seems Huawei hasn't released any sources yet.

As a workaround, just install any 3rd party launcher. Nova works fine.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
Nova would probably be the first thing I put on there, I hear this phone doesn't come with the Google play store though?

What about root? Has that been done yet? Gotta uninstall all the junk :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mobile88:
There is not even any custom recovery yet !! So flashing any zip roms not possible even if available..
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
Do we have a way to root yet?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mobile88:
Rooting just use n google for program root genius. It works fine n very fast to get phone rooted
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] joytest:
There isn't much junk on this phone, quite a clean ROM. The International models come with Play store. The China models have an installable Play store from the Huawei app store, so there is no problem.

To root, you need to first install HiSuite, then enable USB debugging, then run Root Genius.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
I'm not sure which version I ordered. I got the FDD Dual LTE one from here..

http://www.huaweimobileshop.com/

Does HiSuite come with the phone or do I have to download it somewhere?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] joytest:
Here

http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=16205

or here which is the main site

http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
Excellent! Thank you!

I guess the first thing to do once I get the phone is to update it to the latest firmware via HiSuite and then root it.

I wonder if I need to unlock the phone as well? I will be putting in a sim card from the US, but I suspect phones outside the US aren't carrier locked.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Which country do you live in and how long did it take to arrive?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
United States, took 3 days to arrive.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
OK, thanks. Any import tax on charged on it?

I'm in the UK and a bit concerned that I'm going to get hit with another £30 or £40 in import duty, as it'll be coming from the Far East. It might not be the same in the US though I suppose.

Does anyone know how it works regarding import tax/duty to the UK?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] acuratlsfan:
USA doesn't charge tax/customs for these devices. Some China based vendors will offer to ship the item without the original retail packaging to avoid additional taxes for certain destinations.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
Yup, no taxes for me. It was either $13 for regular shipping and $19 for expedited shipping, Expedited took 3 days, pretty nice...

That's all I paid over the cost of the phone.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Makzinations:
One of my first replies here on XDA, even tho I visit these forums every day.

About customs taxes: I live in The Netherlands, rougly 10% of all incoming parcels gets manually checked and opened by the dutch customs. I always let the seller mark the customs value as 17$ OR BELOW IT. The rule in The Netherlands is that all parcels, coming from outside EU, gets a 21% TAX and €17,50 standard import/clearance costs. Writing now with my X1, imported without any additional costs. Try to let the seller mark 15$ on your parcel and I think you can import it without having to pay taxes. Also this works perfect for me with DHL and small airmail parcels, big parcels (i.e. 20pcs Beats by Dre Studio) shipped with Airmail or HK Speedpost always gets picked out, never with DHL.

Wish you good luck, and let me knpw if you order it and how it's done after importing regardings taxes.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Thanks for the post. I'm hoping a friend of mine can get one from Malaysia and bring it back to the UK for me.

I suppose the important question is actually this:

Is the phone actually worth it - is it any good? :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Makzinations:
Great.

Phone is actually pretty good. Annoys me that the AOSP Android Development isn't going fast. Chinese forums already have CWM in Chinese language, but still nothing different than MIUI. I've installed the 4.4 Google Now launcher and removed the borders around the icons which MIUI implements by default. Really strange thing is that my Android is way faster now than it was when I got it in the beginning, didn't change anything.

Keyboard typing needs some practice at this big screen, using AOSP keyboard right now but I always type the letter 'M' instead of 'N' and the letter 'P' instead of 'o' lol. Trying to get used to it now for a couple of weeks, but still need to practice more haha.

Hopefully this phone gets dev's attention, so we can get a AOSP rom, but I think we'll need to wait on Huawei for releasing the kernel sources...

Hi guys I'm kinda new here and a beginner in flashing but anyway I need some help i have a Samsung s4 gt-i9505 and just as 4.4.2 kitkat came out I wished to upgrade due to Australia was one of the last countries to receive the update so I flashed my firmware to

Some thing else to get the new firmware which I thinks German anyway Australia has caught up with the world now and I wish to go back to Australian firmware but unsure of how to do so I have downloaded Australian 4.3 telstra firmware as I can't seem:cool: to find a 4.4.2 Australian firmware to download so my question is how do I go about downgrading to 4.3 from a up to date 4.4.2 firmware with Odin? Please remember that I'm kinda new to this and also I've attached a screen shot with my current versionView attachment 2810305
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verny94:
Unfortunately thats not possible due to Knox.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
You don't need and can't downgrade. If you received OTA (Over the air) update and ur phone updated to GN5 means that ur phone isnt Australian, it's german. You can know it better doing this steps:

1. Install Kies 3 and it will give u the CSC (device code zone) like in pic attached.

2. Take a look the CODE of 3 letters in this page for check the country of your device -> HERE

3. Done :)

*EDIT: The latest firmware update for i9505 is I9505XXUGNF1 if you own a german phone (DBT).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenHewett:
Good afternoon/morning/night everyone.

I'm having a problem with my Nexus 5. I'm running Android 4.4.3, non rooted. I'm currently trying to root it for the first time, and I've never rooted before. I get to the confirmation options on the bootloader screen but my power button cannot confirm the rooting. Nothing happens when I press the power button. It's not frozen because I can go between the two options. My power button is fine as well and works outside the bootloader. I'm not sure what to do now. Please use language that's understandable to a rooting noob such as myself.

Thank you!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
I suggest you to reflash your device with lg flashtool (link is in my signature) since you dont need unlocked bootloader to flash stock rom.. you will need windows.

Your other options is to root with towel root, you need the v1 http://towelroot.com. install the app, click on make it rain. after the restart download supersu, and nexus bootunlocker from playstore, then unlock your bootloader with the nexus bootunlocker app.

I found it weird that your phone does not do anything when you try to select yes. Maybe you should reflash the stock rom after you unlocked your bootloader with the app

[Sony Xperia L] iAyush:
Hey there,

I'm completely new to flashing and other stuff. I really love CM11 (just by seeing it's screenshots in the group) and would love to have it on my Xperia L! I have the latest version and firmware and it is rooted.

What I'd love to see is Varun Chitre's CM11.. but the problem is.. I'm completely noob. I don't know where to start with. Can someone give me a step by step instructions, PLEASE? My warranty has expired and I'd love to learn new things, modify and customize my xL!

I have downloaded the cm-11-20140620-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan.zip from the given website, and I'm confused what to do now.

The thread of the development: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/orig-development/ldevelopment-cm11-android-4-4-t2735551

Do I need to download anything else except the cm11taoshan.zip (the original file download link of 210mb)?

I already own Flashtool and I've downloaded the main 4.4.4 free xperia project file. I'm confused what to do now..

Thanks in advance

Ayush
[Sony Xperia L] Zubaaa:
First you must root your device,

next do a backup of drm files,

next unlock bootloader

next flash kernel and install CM11 from your internal sdcard.

The phone is bought in Norway and is not locked to any particular service provider.

From the HTCdev website it looks like this is a procedure they support, I'm just not able to figure it out. Please advice.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
To use a RUU you need to relock the bootloader first. But since you already unlocked it my advice is to flash the latest 4EXT recovery and SVHD ROM. You will be much more pleased that with the stock ICS nonsense, trust me on that.
[HTC Desire S] arildj78:
Will appreciate more assistance

Since I have only 23 1/2 hours of experience with this I'll appreciate some more pointers on this. My main concern is that I'll flash something that is irreversible and unusable in Norway.

In the meantime I'll start reading about 4EXT and SVHD.

Most zips need to be flashed through custom recovery, but it can be done through adb sideload, and there are guides everywhere to show your that. Tars can be flashed through Mobile Odin, and like I said, some stuff can be flashed through adb sideload, and I'm not sure if it will trip Knox through adb or not. But yes, it can be done :)

thanx waiting for ur replies
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Landulf:
It's not a problem of the ROM. I did the exact same thing. It's a problem of the old bootloader with the newer ROM. I finaly got it corrected by going into bootloader mode and updating the ipl/spl to 2.xx. This corrected the problem and

the phone works great with Shogun's rom. Love it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] aoakes:
Here's your step by step anwser

I had installed the same software for a T Mobile MDA for a Cingular Network. The ROM disabled my sync and I was ****ting bricks because I could not update my ROM, nor make calls from my wizard.

step 1. turn off the device by holding down the power button on top of the phone.

Step 2. press the camera button (right hand side) and the power button at the same time to on the device.

Step 3. This puts the device into USB mode, which you will now plug in the USB cable. (the word "USB" will appear on the bottom of the pocket pc screen when it is configured to the computer.) Active Sync will not sync up to the pocket pc (remains grayed out on the computers title bar.)

step 4. download another ROM version. I downloaded cingular 2.26 shotgun (different version from your ROM, but made for cingular devices) FROM HERE ON, DO NOT DISCOUNT YOUR DEVICE FROM THE COMPUTER!!

step 5. Make sure the device is charged more than 50%, then click and run the ROM. Follow the update prompts; and the computer will recognize that the pocket pc is connected to the usb port, but active sync will be grayed out. Allow the software to be installed. remember, do not disconnect, because you could do serious damage to the bios bank chips and never be able to boot.

once it installs the software, you will be relieved to see the NEW ROM on the boot screen and you'll notice everything works beautiful again :)

YOU CAN NEVER BRICK A WIZARD, just place in it USB MODE and start over. For the intelligent people, backup your information with Active Sync if you dare to experienment with new ROMs.

GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND,

Adam

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jorge_culv:
Wouldn't it be better to release your ROMs without the IPL/SPL then? Would also save you the trouble of having separate G3 and G4 versions--please don't misunderstand me, I appreciate the work you and everyone else on this forum do with no expectation of payment, but it would seem we might all be better off ROM-upgrading without and IPL/SPL, at the very least it might save some noob like naeemwaqas who doesn't know any better...just my suggestion.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
here is your answer from me... it has mostly been covered..

YES hold your camera button while powering on to put in bootloader mode

DO NOT FLASH MY ROM.. yet

YES download an official rom so that you can get the updated bootloaders

after that is complete then you can flash my rom...

I DID NOT include updated bootloaders because i didnt want for a noob with a G4 to brick their phone by flashing my rom.. my future releases will be labeled as G3 and G4.. if a noob screws it up from there then its not my fault
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vseehua:
but then if their IPL/SPL are of 1.xx versions, their upgrade also won't go so well. If only people would do their research before jumping into such dangerous thing..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
but also your looking at this the wrong way... if the ipl/spl would have been included and if he had a G4 then he would now have a brick... however he is at a point to where he can recover from... ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
You sir, are an idiot! And shouting such nonsense just proves my point. Please run away... and very fast before someone actually believes your bu!!!**** and bricks their device!

You sir got lucky, you obviously don't have a G4 phone, cause I double dog dare you to try such insanity on a G4.

I've flashed more phones than the average guy and I'm STILL careful.

I'm sure that you probably meant no harm but if you noticed, none of the chef's here have stated such BS...

Heya molski, wanna go have a drink together and watch this loser cry in his beer after he "slips" ...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jorge_culv:
Whoa, easy there samurai! My suggestion was directed at Molski, who as far as I can tell still packages up IPL/SPL in his ROMs unlike you. Thanks for pointing this crucial difference out to those who might not know otherwise.

And again, for Molski, this is just a suggestion--there have been plenty of ROM upgrades with IPL/SPL and the vast majority go fine, just seems like as a community we might want to consider doing things (like ROMs with no IPL/SPL for example) to protect newcomers. Now sure they might deserve it every now and again, and scaring the crap out of them might induce a healthy dose of "read before you leap", but could be avoided for this one situation.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
which is why i dont... i may know quite a bit, but im not a master, i dont know it all (dont tell my wife) and dont include ipl/spl for that simple fact.. but can garuantee this guy will read more before experimenting again... its a good scare factor, and a good way to welcome him to the board :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICFAFN:
Hello.

I have a problem with my note 3 and looked for a answer several weeks with no luck.

My problem is when i put my simcard in the phone i am not getting any signal there is only a circle with i line in it instead of the signal bars, when im trying to find a network its just say cant find any network right now, please try again later.

The phone is from denmark so i dont have the service code to enter the hidden menu to check the radio. My imei number is fine but the phone has been rooted and when i will change the cdma options to USIM from NV it just getting back to NV maybe that is the problem. now i am in stock rom but with no luck either.

Hope someone can help me because i am a little desperate.

PS. The phone is getting really hot and using the battery in a couple of hours when i put flight mode off
