Just to be sure, are you flashing the beta supersu 2.49 while in TWRP?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
yeah, regarding the oem partition, now the downgrade B148 full flash (1.2GB?) is available, if it contains oem partition, then it can be used.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlogan1:
Yes. Really confusing. Even renamed everything so I could drag & drop but no good. TWRP manager from the market thinks I have TWRP L installed but does not boot, just the EMUI 3 recovery.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kostyan_nsk:
Updates never include oeminfo partition.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] foltz61:
I am at a loss for what you should do. All I can think of is start over fresh again and see what happens. Sorry.

Hey SHM, I went over to 2.8.7.1 from 2.8.0.0 after installing Lollipop. But I am actually having a bit of a problem right now. I can't wipe/mount /hwuserdata and the internal_sd from within TWRP. I can still into roms and restore backups. But I don't have an internal sd partition/directory once I am in the rom. Do you have any suggestions for me. I have a bit more information http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/general/internal-sd-broken-to-lollipop-advice-t3148149http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/general/internal-sd-broken-to-lollipop-advice-t3148149.

Restored back to 308 and still at EMUI 3. Good news though is by fast booting to twrp I can restore my previous versions, albeit with the new recovery.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Yea, I noticed this bug tonight when a log was sent to me. Thanks for that log [MENTION=4389792]Iguanadon[/MENTION].

I contacted [MENTION=6152035]Kostyan_nsk[/MENTION] and he shared with me the solution in a PM. Will work on fixing it when I get the time. Meanwhile, revert back to using 2.8.7.0-L.

I will be removing 2.8.7.1-L and the device tree until further notice. Pass this along to everyone else.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lowao:
Thanks SHM for the quick reply. Do you have an img file of the stock rom? I am unable to delete this internal_sd and I can't mount my internal_sd/sdcard0 in any of my roms or backup, 4.3 or 5.1. Would this solve my problem?

Could I install the 4.3 downgrade zip file directly through the bootloader? And would that fix my issue?

or

How would you recommend getting my internal_sd / sdcard0 back?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
To be safe, downgrade, and then upgrade. My apologies for the inconvenience. It won't happen again.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lowao:
No problem at all, man. I got lazy and didn't back up the last of my files. Sorry for beating this dead house even longer. But can I install this file "4.3 downgrade zip" directly through the bootloader using fastboot? This don't to misunderstand something and brick my phone? But will it lock my decide all over again? If it does, I am ready to unload it again. I just want to make sure I understand this process 100% before doing anything. That's how mistakes happen.

If you haven't yet, go to that link and they have the stock firmware for jellybean that comes with simple instructions on how to downgrade. After completion just upgrade back to 5.1
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lowao:
Update:

My mate 2 is still down with the sdcard0 / internal_sd still broken after applying the downgrade and the b309 rom. Do you have the stock rom img of 4.3 or 5.1? I am hoping flash this as it may reset the whole device and allow me to finally get my internal_sd / sdcard0 back. Thanks for all future advice.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] spooky_ghosty:
I have the European version of the MT2.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
That isn't possible. The internal sd partitions are different between 4.3 and 5.1 as they each have their own place on the device. What does that mean? When you downgrade and upgrade using the software and instructions provided only by their website it will literally rewrite everything in your phone to include wiping all data. It does this because of the differences in partitioning between 4.3 and 5.1. This will literally put your phone back to stock.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
..... I feel like I have to make a thread about TWRP and their differences between 4.3 and 5.1 as well as to why you should not mix them up.....

I'm posting here for public view.

DO NOT USE TWRP-L IF YOU ARE ON JELLYBEAN 4.3. IT IS MEANT ONLY FOR LOLLIPOP.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Oh. Is that what the L is for. (Sarcasm)

C'mon folks. Maybe you shouldn't be doing any of this stuff if you are that dense.

People don't have to be dense to make a mistake. Especially if they haven't been flashaholics. No need to insult people's intelligence.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
The insult is that they don't understand that the "L" has meaning. If they don't get that simple concept, then my opinion is they should not be doing this stuff.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
That is your opinion.. Read posting rules about respecting other members. At any rate. Yes L is for Lollipop only. SHM has said that many times.

TWRP bumped to 2.8.7.2-L and device tree reuploaded with the changes.

Click here for post #303 and see attachments

- Added support for handling large file systems

- Patched TWRP source to bind internal sd so it will mount as a directory and not a block partition - working like a boss - thanks to [MENTION=6152035]Kostyan_nsk[/MENTION] for this knowledge.

*** Internal sd is a subdirectory on your data partition. It does not have it's own block while on 5.1 Lollipop. That is why the source needed to be patched to make it possible to backup, restore, and/or wipe your internal storage without tampering with anything else on your data partition.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I'm using Google Play Music but it shows for me. BTW, does your audio cut out after a while? It happened to me back when I first had the phone on JB, and now it's happening again.

Could anyone help me here, am in India, had got HAM2 imported through a friend from the USA, how can i update it to Lollipop, OTA has not been successful for me.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
When you say "not successful", did you mean you cannot download the update or you cannot even see the update ?

In any case, download the update file manually from Huawei's website. The instructions are also there.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlogan1:
Back to B148

Thanks to all for your help. I ended up using the downgrade package which ended up killing EMUI 3.x The device, however, was still not stable to my liking. In ended up flashing a B148 ROM from the section on how to unbrick.

To add to the fun, adding SuperSu to the equation neutered Titanium Backup. It would just hang on a restore. I had to go into SuperSu and change the setting for "Mount namespace separation"

Once achieved I was able to restore all my apps and settings.

All good now.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Harris.S.Newman:
Perhaps we all should request the source code....to put a fire under them.

They have replied to his request through his Google+ . Hopefully he will have it soon. If not already.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Shouldn't they have released it anyway?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I am assuming since they just got it going they will soon. It was in testing until this week. One of them responded to Tom and said they added his name to a list of people asking for kernel source. No time frame as far as I know.

Confused on which twrp to use for Lollipop

So I'm confused, which one should be used on Lollipop? Why have all those versions?

TWRP_2.8.7.0-L_Recovery.img.zip

TWRP_2.8.7.2-L_Recovery.img.zip

TWRP_2.8.7.3-Unified_Recovery.img.zip

device_huawei_mt2l03_twrp.zip
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
The only one you should need now is the Unified one.

There are a lot of versions because it has been a work in progress.

2.8.7.0 was the initial one for L.

2.8.7.2 was the second build for L, but I think it ended up having a small problem. So people were told to go back to 2.8.7.0

Unified is the newest one, it should work for both JB and Lollipop, although going from Lollipop to JB through TWRP may break some things.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Correction, 2.8.7.1-L was the second build and it was that build which had a bug and was officially removed from the attachments. 2.8.7.2-L is stable and safe to use as it was included after the bug was fixed that was found in 2.8.7.1-L.

However, just as you said, 2.8.7.3-Unified is the most recent version and is recommended for use.

Just wanted to point this out so there isn't further confusion :)

Flashung Unified

So, This is img file in zip. It is not a flashable zip? How do we flash it? NM...I used the fastboot folder that had original twrp in it. Just renamed twrp and flashed. Its working...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tdamocles:
I'm on the unified version but the reboot menu is freezing on me no matter if I try to go back to system, recovery, or bootloader.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Do you mean when you press reboot, it takes like 10 second looking as if the phone is frozen?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tdamocles:
Maybe, I'll try again.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
Yeah, that happens to me as well. Sometimes it takes up to 30 seconds, but it seems to always eventually reboot.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tdamocles:
Ok, it's About 40-50 seconds for me.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Yea, don't be surprised about some delays. Even the Samsung S6 had experienced delays. Lollipop is still fairly new and unfortunately Google is pushing more changes than TeamWin can keep up with. Unlike the older days where changes were seldom and easy to maintain lol.

What version of this device do you have that has so many bugs? I have the L03 on Cricket and I have zero issues. My battery is outstanding, I flashed the Viper audio mod and people freak out when they can't understand why my SOL Republic headphones sound a hundred times better than their Bose or Beats. I run any launcher at any given time and no issues. TSF, Next, Nova, Go, SPB, yo7 name it. No WiFi or BT issues, nadda.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] rdbud:
I have the L03 running stock with Nova on AT&T. I've never had any WiFi or BT issues. Just a bunch of little niggling bugs that don't seem enough for a warranty replacement. I just had a new one where if I pull up the clock and try to switch from the alarm to the timer, it's just blank. I have to sweep the memory and reopen to get the timer to work. This has happened a couple times.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
That's strange. I'm stock, rooted and I have even using some Gravity Box things and no issues at all.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I've got the L03 on T-Mobile and I have lots of stuttering and lag. But, this stuff only happens in certain areas. In the AccuWeather app for example, it skips tons of frames whenever I do anything. It got so bad I uninstalled it.

Might be worth noting I am rooted, with tons of xposed modules. But that shouldn't create lag?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
I wouldn't think so. Literally the only thing that causes lag on my phone is if I use Next Launcher and that a Next Launcher issue that they know about.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lowao:
Does anyone here have electric sheep on their phone and does it lag for them? I had a lot of issues with my old phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotworks.electricsheep

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] notoriouspk:
using unlocked mate 2 gravity box exposed :) working fine no issues ...but I feel battery stand by time could have been way better ...at night when phone is idle it eats up like 20% of the battery ...no apps are causing this ...overall battery is really good its just the stand by time that eats a lot of battery power ...hopefully Huawei is working on lollipop 5.1 and soon battery standby drain can be fixed ....BTW excellent device for the money
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
That's odd. My phone loses either 1 or 2 percent overnight. That's from airplane mode for usually 7 or 8 hours of sleep. If you haven't been turning on airplane mode, maybe you should try that.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arampapaz:
Are you using wakelock detector or something similiar? I leave my phone with all radios on overnight and dont lose anywhere near 20%. something is keeping your phone awake.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
I don't have standby drain at all. I might lose 3 to 5% overnight if that
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
Same here: I have no battery drain overnight unless I have Wi-Fi or cell radio on and even then it's 3-4% Max.

You have some program or service causing a wake lock or eating battery somewhere. A program like the xposed module Amplify could help you narrow down the culprit.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] AGLtech:
Yeah this phone has unbelievable battery life. I hardly ever set my phone down and I could easily go well over 48 hours without charging. It barely loses anything overnight and I am not one to use any battery saving apps or features. I keep the power save mode on normal. But I don't play many games or watch tons of video. Mostly downloads, testing and building apps.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] notoriouspk:
thanks for the reply guys ...its chrome eating my battery ...now at night I close all recent apps ...WiFi is connected all night ...3℅ drain ...which is excellent ...best battery life on a smartphone by a mile ...extremely happy with my mate 2 ...waiting for lollipop :)

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
For the better or for the worse ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
For the better, because believe it or not Android has always had many security flaws. Thankfully, no ignorant fool has really attempted to devastate the Android Community. It is typically Windows users that get attacked, but, Google has finally come to realize the severity of the issue and is doing their part to make it safer. So in my opinion, I give them kudos for that. Granite, it can make it a bit difficult for developers, but security is best when you spend so much money on a phone.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
SHM is absolutely correct. It will have its impact on development. But as he said it is MUCH needed. There has been some serious issues with jelly bean. L stands as Google's first solid attempt at fixing things. If you read the post about SuperSU it makes it clear.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Any news on the official update? Non Beta..
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Doesn't seem like it. If Huawei really is doing the next Nexus phone, I'm glad Google is in charge of the software updates, as the device would never see the next software version with Huawei.

You don't promise it'll be out first half of the year and then say nothing.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Harris.S.Newman:
Let's face it, they are not supporting the Mate2, pulling the release but not changing the website shows how bad the company is. Falsely saying they released it it fraud.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
I feel the same frustration as everyone here. I am a member of the Friendly User Test (FUT) group. We have been testing several version updates (I think it has been 6 so far) of Lollipop. We have also been told we will see a new version, only to find out that it is not ready. Then put on hold again and again. It's maddening. Not sure what the holdup is. But, the bottom line is that they are working on Lollipop and I am sure it will be released at some point.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Hopefully by the end of the year. Hopefully before Android M releases, for that matter. It's quite ridiculous. They should never have provided an ETA, even one as vague as "within six months", if there was even a chance they wouldn't meet it. Just leads to more frustration.

I think it's safe to say that my next phone will not be a Huawei. Even if they do make the next Nexus. The battery life on this phone is amazing. But that's all it's got going for it really.

As a Lollipop preview member, can you answer something for me? How is the camera? Is it just as slow as the stock 4.3 one is?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] pckarma112:
Kimtyson, I truly admire the amount of faith you have for this company. What worries me is they seem to just be doing minimum effort to not lose face. That should not be the driving force for a company. I feel like I've been hoodwinked. My last hope that members like you of fut will keep them going. Thank you for that and please stay on them. For all of us.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
I don't understand. Did you mean that the next update will be forthcoming any time within the next 6 months?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
I mean, Huawei promised that the Android L update would come by the end of the first half of the year. It did... Sort of. Only for a couple of very specific models/software versions (not including mine) and they ended up pulling the update because people were having problems.

So, effectively, they broke their promise, and now it's nearly a month past the first half of the year and I'm still waiting.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Apart from the already discussed bugs, I'm also getting less battery life. I used to get around 13 hours of screen time. Now, I can rarely get 10 hours, of course whilst running the same thing I used to run. I'm giving Huawei a month more to fix the updates. If the fix the outstanding bugs, I'll continue with Lollipop, otherwise I'd have no option but to go back to 4.3; a shameful way to go, if you ask me!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
The camera works just fine for me on Lollipop.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Thanks for the feedback. Takes forever to focus on Jelly Bean for me and that's one of my biggest complaints I have for this phone (and yes I've tried multiple third party apps, it's the driver or HAL not the camera app's fault).

Yes u had the same result. It's really quick without flash and with flash well not so quick lol
