[Ascend Mate 7 General] Eagleman71:
I have the default rom. MT7-TL10V100R001C00B125SP02

I received the update via OTA. I reflashed the standard recovery and it did try to install. But seems the Beta update released here in Italy is only for the MATE 7 versions that are not the Gold, so the ones with 2 Gb of Ram...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
you have root ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] crisgen:
Sorry but I think is very strange that Huawei send an OTA update for a wrong device.

Like to say that samsung send an OTA for S4 to S5...just for an example

Why don't you upload the ota and share the link for let much more users test the update for dual sim version?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] PLSHELPIMANOOB:
Yeah i would give it a try cuz i never rooted vor anything With this device. Would be nice if u could upload it for me [MENTION=721076]Eagleman71[/MENTION]
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Eagleman71:
Yes... it could be that?

Someone told on the huawei mailing list that in the pre-requisites is written that root must not be present....

Mb i should unroot and try again...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] pystolero:
As i allready said, i was like you.

Put the OTA file of 5.1 on your microsd card, in a folder named dload.

Push the three buttons at the same time : Vol -/vol +/power.

It will make the update but, in my case, it stop at 90%. But after 5mn, i power off the phone and it boot.

If you want to boot on bootloader, plug a microUSB cable in the phone, press the Vol - key, then, plug the cable on the computer... And it boot on bootloader.

I think we need to flash boot/radio/recovery from 4.4 in bootloader with fastboot, before trying to downgrade from lollipop to Kitkat...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
Unroot isnt enough .. full stock ..
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Fooox1:
The flash of boot, recovery, and system cust.img brings not back 4.4.2. Already tried.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] waspxx:
Before you reflash 5.1, what version have you flashed? b120?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
Was already trying that - I still have the rom in dload folder.

I already entered the force update before (three buttons), but it is not possible now.

I am holding vol up + down + power, phone vibrates, I am still holding three buttons, Huwaei logo will appear and then it vibrates again and turns off. I also tried to release them earlier etc., but still the same. The same also with bootloader. I think it might be bricked :(
[Ascend Mate 7 General] pystolero:
I was in 137 custom, i flash b137 stock, then update to 5.1. After that, I've tried to back b137, i was in bootloop, and i reflash the 5.1 ota update.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Are you sure that rom is still in microsd card? In my case, dload folder was empty... I need to put the ota file again.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] waspxx:
I flashed 120, so can i flash 127->137 extracting update.app files with the same procedure of 120? and at the end i flash update.zip right?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
Good point, will check it when I got home. But I think the force update should still start and just fail, right?

Edit: I was answering to Pystolero:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] waspxx:
Ok i'm on 137 (not boot yet) and with boot and recovery of 5.1 otherwise it bootloops. when I put update.zip and start update 3 buttons, it fail software install. I checked my sd and file is there. What can i do?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ponche:
hello friend, I wanted to upgrade to make lollipop and dload to return to the 4.4 previously installed the recovery of the stock 127 to make a dload with this version but I was wrong and there was no way to get into recovery and then I saw your link the procedure and return to the 4.4 being in lollipop, do the exactly as you describe and to finish the whole process properly the phone has stayed with me in the loop, that is, turns on and all the time goes with logo huawei and no way to turn it off or anything or do a resert or anything, leaves or react to anything, I wanted to flash through the cmd all .img image files (system, boot, userdata, etc ..) and it did not work, that I can do and how I can fix it? thanks
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
Same here guys :(

I already tried to unpack the update.zip and rename it to update.app, because it is always failing and it looks like it did not found update file at all...

Edit: I also tried 137 update, it failed that it is incompactible
[Ascend Mate 7 General] waspxx:
It started update for me and it stuck at 90% as pystolero says, but when i reboot i have only recovery again
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
Has anyone here tried to update the mt7-l10 using the european updates mt7-l09?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
i think it will say .. update error :)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
Alright , thank you. I hope lollipop for mt7-l10 would be rolled out.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
see the first page of this thread :).. someone already have it :)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
So now, I started the three buttons update while connected to computer via USB and it is actually doing something. But it is too soon to say if it helped (43%).

Edit: so it is stuck at 90%..., the same as for others I think
[Ascend Mate 7 General] pystolero:
When i try to update with 5.1 OTA file, it failed also for me. But at 90% (there was a circle with percent growing up).

Is it the same for you? After 5mn blocked at 90% i reboot the phone. It was ok...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] waspxx:
yes it's the same. but when i come back to 137 i can't flash anything because i dont't have recovery. so i flash 5.1 boot and recovery and i do the update. it's wrong what i did?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
if you want update over OTA, you can´t have root or costum recovery.

you have to flash the hole ROM . 1gb +/-
[Ascend Mate 7 General] waspxx:
Have you flashed 137 with the same method? (the complete update.app)?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] dekraan:
Hi all, is there a way round using a micro SD for the local update? Mine died this week...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
Yes.. use de internal memory .. create folder dload and put the file inside
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
Same here, it is stuck on 90% and after restart it won't start and end in recovery...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
Take the file from huawei site .. where you put the file ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
I have the update.zip (lollipop) file which I copied to dload folder on sdcard.

The strange thing is, when phone is not connected to computer at start of force update, it will fail immediatelly.

Edit: So this is no way, if I will remove sd card with update.zip and do this three button update while connected to computer, it is doing same thing. It will go to 90 % and got stuck. When I try the update not connected to computer, it will always fail immediately, even when sd card with update.zip is inside.

So I think, this lollipop update can be installed just over Kitkat rom first time, then it is failing all the time :(.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] dekraan:
Is there a specific folder where I should create dload?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] elroy944:
Just in the root.

Battery life is amazing!
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
Mine is in /sdcard/
[Ascend Mate 7 General] dekraan:
Ok, I've parked it in storage sdcard01, and it seems to work because local update finds the file. But I end up in CWM recovery with a red exclamation mark... I am rooted and on b137sp03. Is there a fix?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] papped:
I don't think you are supposed to be using CWM at all to do the update...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Stocksy05:
Is anyone else having problems with push notifications? I get notifications from Facebook and Twitter but do not get any from apps such as snapchat or outlook, all the settings for every app are the same? Anyone know a fix for this?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] dekraan:
I'm using the emui update app, but when I give that the green light, it reboots after about 15 seconds to end up in CWM with some Chinese lines and that exclamation mark... It then wants me to fix root yes/no
[Ascend Mate 7 General] papped:
I know you aren't using CWM to flash the update. But I think you need to be on stock recovery to even use the update and you are not...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] MarkGiardini:
Are you guys using the 'check for updates' setting on the phone or via the Hi-Suite to check for the OTA update?

Just wondering, as with my LG G3, my phone didn't pick up the OTA update, however my software did.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] dekraan:
Do you know how to get there? Should I flash that b135sp03 file from the other thread first?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
So it seems to me, that problem is Huawei. Once, they are using Update.APP and later Update.ZIP, not sure why.

- recovery from 5.1 is working, but it is expectin Update.APP, but 5.1 update is in Update.ZIP, so it fails immediately (with error Update.APP not found). Yes, when you connect to phone to computer, it seems that it is doing something and it will get to 90%. But it is actually doing nothing, you can even pull out the sd card and it is the same. I think it is waiting for some action from computer, but not sure which (I also tried to install HiSuite and do something with it, but no success).

- recovery from update B137 will accept Update.ZIP, but when you try to flash it you won't be able to get in it, it is not working (I also tried B127).

So now, we either need recovery, which will work on 5.1 and will accept Update.ZIP or we need update packed as Update.APP (and yes, I tried to rename it etc.). So actually, our phones are pretty ok, we can get in recovery etc., but Huawei is messing with this different formats for some reason :(

[MENTION=2040377]bonell[/MENTION]: do you think it will be possible to ask Huawei for correct recovery for Lollipop? Recovery which will accept the Update.ZIP instead of looking for Update.APP? Before I was trying to go back to KitKat I even tried to re-update the Lollipop with this three button action and it also failed, it was also looking for Update.APP. So if something will go wrong with the phone it won't be possible to do this force update... Thank you

Edit: maybe the problem is, that we are trying to run the update OTA (Update.ZIP) instead of full rom (Update.APP)? Is this how it is divided, Update.ZIP is just incremental update, while Update.APP is full rom? If that is the case, we will need the full rom, maybe Huawei can release it?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] loWie27:
Do you also have the problem that the Chrome browser needs to start approximately 3 seconds ?

generally it is running slower :/
[Ascend Mate 7 General] pystolero:
Do you open the zip file? Isn't there an *.app file inside maybe?

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

No I don't have sorry...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] gjlamb:
Is the issue with lock screen controls not working with alternate music apps fixed with the Lollipop update? Thinking of getting one of these phones but not being able to control music easily with Spotify will be a killer for me.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] waspxx:
Yes it's there, but it's only 31,7 mb of update.app
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ponche:
I'm in the same situation as you, I think the problem is that the phone to make a dload is from 0 through a Update.app and not commenting update.zip Here, in fact if the update is removed .app zip own and wants to make that Update.app dload the phone recognizes it and starts to install but as it is an incomplete file fails, this Update.app occupies about 30 mb, we need the total file Update.app update lollipop, if someone could share this file maybe soon we could have our operating device again because we are many who are without phone now.

forgive my English, google stuff.

thanks
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
Exactly, I even tried to put it unzipped in dload folder, it will fail of course. And to rename it to update.APP won't help either, it will fail too...

I think we really need the full rom update, not only the incremental one, not sure if somebody can get it somewhere...

[MENTION=2040377]bonell[/MENTION]: do you still have contact to Huawei? Can you ask them or provide it to us? Thank you
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ponche:
if you mention also all that have tested me and all, I took 3 days without phone and now I'm going berserk, that despair.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
Is somebody able to get this from device with Lollipop running:

cache.img

cust.img

system.img

userdata.img

I think if we will have it, we will be able to flash it via fastboot (the same as this MT7-L09 Unbrick tool - StockRecovery.bat is doing).

Does anyone knows how to get it from system?

Thank you
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ponche:
I also think so if we could get our phone, some help please.

certainly friend, you know how off the phone? I'm trying to shut it down so you do not spend battery and all I do is reboot i
[Ascend Mate 7 General] DarkMaster@MJ12:
Hello all,

I am posting my 2 cents on this matter - I have had 141 version, then downgraded back to 137 and updated to 5.1. Update vent without problems.

Though I have noticed, that generally device is working slower, even after all sys app upgrade, after dalvik wipe and cache wipe. Also noticed, that when battery is really low, phone works so slow that is practically useless (in earlier version that was also noticeable but you could still work almost normally).

Also I am experiencing all same symptoms of the beta version though this one is most annoying for me. ALSO my LED flasher is not working properly - sometimes it flashes but most times it does not. Still having problem with active notification for incoming mail - even with external email program...

Will do more testing on my own and post back results if anyone interested...

RGD
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
The same, I have it on all the time and I can only reboot it.

Normally, you will just remove battery, but you can't...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
You're not supposed to. Only stock recovery will work
[Ascend Mate 7 General] haringstad:
Impatient..... But it works!

Good.... I have to admit... I am sometimes a little impatient.... :p and that causes that some things do not work, as they should.

Here is what I did....

I used the 'flash stock rom' as described in a previous post in this thread.

And, I tried to update the 5.1 update.zip. No good... Nothing. And, checking for regular updates did not work too. But hey. I found out, that I had to be a little patient. Because after about 15 minutes, the updates started to show up in my update-app. So I installed the update with the update app. The OTA update, provided via OTA by Huawei. This got me to the update-level, needed for the update.zip with Lollipop.

Now getting to the point of installing cwm again, so I can root....
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ponche:
as well as I do all the time, by the way when you give the solution to recover your terminal report it.

thanks

I'll keep investigating
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ponche:
Hello friend, when you say you did the flash.stock.rom here described by that you mean, you can indicate what exactly, I followed several and none have worked for me, now I meet the recovery lollipop and want to install the system through the dload with update.zip inside and not working
[Ascend Mate 7 General] a.thl:
Any solution for the notifications access activation? I can't enable notifications access after upgrade to lollipop.

Huawei technician told me that once upgrade into lollipop, there's no way to downgrade to kitkat. Is it true?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
Yes, you can't downgrade, that is why some of us can't use phone, because we tried that...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
Lol
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ponche:
Hello, I've done everything the procedure and have installed the update.zip in dload in microsd folder and gives me error, update failed, I think it is only possible to recover lollipop with Update.app, as I do?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
Just got this update from ***123 to ***128

Doesn't look like lollipop and lists roaming improvements and stability as bug fixes

Doesn't look like lollipop but who else got the update? MT7-TL10
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Fooox1:
Unfortunately, not even further.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
Gold version ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Raithlin:
Got it. Downloading now. (116MB)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
Yes
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bonell:
Revin, simply download and install Huawei Unpacker tool, and you can extract the files from the update file.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
Updated. Looks pretty much the same to me. Only reset my theme and font to defaults.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Raithlin:
So what was the "adding some new features" all about then?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
What version do you have ? Settings / about phone
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
I know this tool, but it is not working for this Update.ZIP (it will show error).

I also tried to unpack this, there is Update.APP. I renamed it to Update.ZIP and there is another Update.APP.

Now, when I open this with Huawei Unpacker tool I can see some images, but from what I need there is only boot.img and recovery.img.

The others are not present
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
Still 4.4.2 and emui 3.0

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

No idea but I think huawei will be in a better position to answer that.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
;/ .. octa core only with 5.1 ... waiting
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Raithlin:
:D Was just wondering. I'll look around once my update is done.

Update: Well, nothing at all new here either - not even the theme was reset. Possibly in preparation for the upcoming 5.1?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Revin:
[MENTION=2040377]bonell[/MENTION]: pls try to ask them for full update file. I think they should provide it anyway, since the recovery has been change to not accept anythin less then Lollipop. From what I heard not only beta testers received this update and if some of them will run in some problems with their device, they won't be able to do this three buttons force update to default.

Thank you
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bonell:
I have the full update, but because it´s not a final version I´m not aloowed to share yet. Sorry.

I can provide the Lollipop Original recovery if someone needs it (to flash via adb)

Hi, This file is for make a downgrade?

What is the utility from this file? I have already install it with the three button method and it worked, but I don´t know what to do after. I tried to put the 4.4.2 file in the external SD card to downgrade but it doesn´t worked. When I try to get the three button screen, the phone turn off (when 4.4.2 is inside of the external SD, otherwise the phone works).

Please help me, my phone is not working right now :(

---------- Post added at 03:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------

Hi to everyone.

First of all, my english is not quite good because my native language is Spanish, but i´ll try to do my best.

I made it!! downgrade my MT7-L09 from 5.1 to KK (b137sp03)

All with help from the user who posted the

Mate 7 (Jazz-L09 single SIM) RollBack EMUI3.1+Android5.1 to EMUI3.0+Android 4.4

(I CAN´T PUT THE LINK BECAUSE I´M A NEW USER, BUT THE LINK IS ABOVE IN THIS SAME PAGE) and with some intuition.

1. ensure that your three button window works, if not, download and flash the recovery and the boot from lollipop 5.1 already posted by another user some pages back in this same thread (I CAN´T PUT LINKS).

2. Put in your external SD card the

Mate 7 (Jazz-L09 single SIM) RollBack EMUI3.1+Android5.1 to EMUI3.0+Android 4.4

file that is an UPDATE.APP 34MB.

3. Insert the SD in the phone and enter in the update screen (vol + and vol - and power button)

4. The update will install and the phone will reboot

5. Put in your external SD card the b137sp03 ROM (update.app, of 2GB). Available in some previous pages of this thread (REMEMBER, I CAN´T PUT LINKS)

6. DON´T INSERT THE SD IN THE PHONE NOW. First, turn on the phone pressing vol+ and vol- and there is the key moment. JUST WHEN THE HUAWEI LOGO DISSAPEAR AND THE UPDATE WINDOW WILL OPEN, GET IN THE MICRO SD TRAY INTO THE PHONE (WITH THE SD INSIDE, OBVIOUSLY :D) and the update will begin

7. The installation will be succesfull. Let´s enjoy KK again

NOTE: I made this because my lollipop wasn´t working. My MT7 L09 wasn´t working and I have recovered from "dead" XD

THANKS TO THE OTHER USERS THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE!!!!

My best regards from Bogotá , Colombia.

great news.. no one talked about the performance .. can any one comment about the performance.. there is a major change in 5.1.. google decided to use all cores available in their 5.1 update.. so mostly all the cores are working all the time.. performance increases dramatically

since mate 7 has alot of cores the performance should be dramatically fast.. any words???
