Tl09 ? Recovery, vol up more power until logo appear then release the power button and l

Keep vol up
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mirosaw2:
it's TL10 .. and i've tried with that method .. but it keeps reboot then boot system ..

also tried with command < adb reboot recovery > but same situation ..

BTW: phone is rooted!
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
You have to install full stock .. no updates ..

[Ascend Mate 7 General] rawnaqkasha:
Plz.....I need back for kikat.....me update for lollipop....install recovery filed for 19.....no finish.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mirosaw2:
already tried to install full stock but B120 not B125 ..

but i'm gonna try also with B125 ..

i think there is something wrong with the Recovery since i can't enter recovery and can't install any updates !!

if there is any available link for stock-recovery.img for TL10 [5.1] .. pls post it.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
i dont have it
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mirosaw2:
what about extracting all .img from B125 and flash it all from fastboot !!!

is that something could let me get my KK again ??

I am going back to KK ,its too early for 5.1 ,yes i like it but :

1. Notifier access not selectable.

2. Wifi and data sign are ON same time .

3. Lag opening home screen and app (some time).

4. Font little small not like KK.

5. Some time whatsapp contacts not showing names only numbers ,I have to restart the phone.

I Dont know if some one agree with me on this points .
[Ascend Mate 7 General] maximumsohan:
At the moment i am not in a hurry to update to 5.1 but can someone tell me what is the latest 4.4 update available for the TL-10?

Currently on "MT7-TL10V100R001C00B120SP04"

When i hit check for updates it's says nothing new :confused:

If this isn't the latest TL-10 version how i can update to the latest? Thanks in advance :D
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
I don't have lag.. WiFi and data on I don't care .. battery is good .. font its OK .. notifier access its the only problem for me :) .. I came from S5 , mate 7 lollipop much more stable.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] PLSHELPIMANOOB:
You need to manually flash the 125 sp02 and then you can update to lollipop =)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] abbas:
Same here. The lack of android wear support is the deal breaker for me.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] DarkPal:
I cant downgrade. Android Wear is a deal breaker for me. I tried to use the downgrade package from the German website but to no avail fails @ 19% I tried to do a forced update phone doesn't boot in the mode. Stuck

[Ascend Mate 7 General] deadlineone:
That doesnt mean the mobile is also connected, just showing the network.

Got even less lags than KK.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Chinaski77:
If i turn off data, the 4G works normally.

Only after a restart the connection really turn off.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Skeese:
I think this update consumes more RAM when running similar apps.

Also noticed copying text, the markers which select the text lag compared to KK

go to: http://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=45463

download the roll back rar file,

read the pdf in the rar, it's got the instructions on how to roll back to 4.4

follow the instructions and you should be fine.

**important:

make sure you read and understand the last few lines in the pdf, they state the versions of the hw update that work with the instruction:

Android4.4 SW version: MT7-TL10V100R001B125SP02

Android5.1 SW version: MT7-TL10V100R001C900B308

Roll back package: MT7-TL10V100R001C900B300

So have you succeeded in updating your mate 7 to 5.1? it's a chinese TL10 right?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] saleh1991:
Yes 5.1 update has been successfully installed after the installation of Rum 25
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Eagleman71:
I want to remember everybody that the MT7-TL10V100R001C900B308 (5.1 lollipop plus 3.1 EMUI) is a BETA TESTER RELEASE.

So surely it has bugs. The purposed to install it is to find bugs and refer them on the dedicated blog page for the testers.

Install it at your own risk and expect some bugs.

I suggest, if you use the phone in your daily work, not to upgrade yet and to wait for the official release.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
I only have the bug of notifications access .. Wattsapp its OK .. Memory OK ..
[Ascend Mate 7 General] neonflake:
No DTS without headset

I hope they reactivate DTS in the final version. On KitKat it had a very positive effect on the built in speaker (I also used this function in Mate 1). Even if I connect a headset turning it on/off has no effect on audio output.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
I think the reason those on kitkat B128 can't update directly to lollipop is because of the assert_get_prop B125 string in the updater script that tells the system to verify that you have the 125 version before it proceeds with the update.

Delete those lines entirely or change all instances to 128 and local update should work without having to downgrade to 125
[Ascend Mate 7 General] morpheoussc400:
I also had the Chinese MT7 TL10 64GB edition, but the beta seems a little buggy for me. However, being that I actually live in the states I would like to know what currently available ROM would work best on this. Also I may try the beta a little later...

Any thoughts???
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Raithlin:
Looking into this, but I can't find the updater script. Which one is it??

EDIT: Never mind, found it.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
I tried to reflash again lollipop.. Still, i dont have the motion gesture and the 5x5 layout.. What to do? Thanks..

Make factory reset before flashing lolipop and don't make factory reset after installing it

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

I don't recommend this buggy update it is very laggy
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Raithlin:
Didn't work - unless I need to change more than just 125 - what would be the full replacement string for "C00B125SP02"?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Supanova5k:
Will this work on my MT7-TL10 here is South Africa?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Eagleman71:
As long as it the TL10 (3gb+32gb) i suppose yes...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Supanova5k:
I do have the 3GB+32GB version.

I will give it a try and post my findings.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Raithlin:
You have the B128 - you'll have to downgrade to B125 and then update.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Supanova5k:
How do I downgrade?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
I dunno either. Better delete it entirely

Unless you know the particular SP version you're on

Delete the strings up to verifying current system

Updater script should start at show progress (0.100000, 0);

Anyways the ui_prints don't really matter. You can leave them if you want or change them to whatever you want to display on your screen during the update
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Raithlin:
Failed. :(

I'll do the rollback to B125 this weekend if I have time.

Hi.. Tried that but its still the same..
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
I wonder is there any progress with Lollipop or only problems ?

You all know what "problems and bugs" mean right ?

it means that it will get delayed further!

If it was ready for release we could expect it for release in July but now I strongly start to doubt it will be released in july.

How to go back to b125 from lollipop mt7-l10??
[Ascend Mate 7 General] rowihel2012:
i downgraded to 125

this beta is very buggy with only 2 or 3 extra new options this already in kitkat in other companies
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
I hope for general better flow and 60 fps experience.. with less peaks....

new functions is secondary.. But Double tap to wake is really important I hope it will be included..as it is in the honor 4.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
The double tap to wake and other gesture control feature is something we need

Perhaps knuckle sense too that is if it is just software dependent and doesn't require additional hardware to power it

Huawei is a bad joke when it comes to updates really
[Ascend Mate 7 General] jamorOO7:
okay. i like the UI of this lollipop 5.1 but kinda laggy.

for those suffering from severe lags, you can go to power saving options and choose "Normal". in that way, cpu will work tops.

but still not as smooth as we expect. but i just love the way the phone changes the wallpaper everytime you turn on the phone display.

and thank you for the downgrade process. i thought we can simply flash b125 to downgrade.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

can we follow these steps if we want to downgrade? or the downgrade package from huawei is necessary?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
I don't know .. i never made it ... but I think you need it .
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
Thank you for this depressing news..

I hope the sharp version is faster then Kitkat.. I mean.. if people are complaining it is really bad cause no one complain with kitkat and I am the only one complaining about the lagging
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
I don't have lag ... full reset after update .. my S5 with same apps have a lot of lag
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
Any update for official lollipop?? How to downgrade to b125??
[Ascend Mate 7 General] rowihel2012:
I'm now on kitkat v125 and it is smooth like butter very fast this beta update makes my phone looks like samsung in lag

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

use the official roll back to downgrade

or just download v125 and download hi suit v1.8 from net and flash the software with it
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blitzkriegger:
From my observations, the Smart mode on beta 5.1 more strictly limits the higher, A-15 cores to 806 MHz. With Kitkat, the cores may scale up to 1.2-1.3 GHz. Actually with Kitkat even if you place limits to the higher cores (tried setting frequency limits via 3c toolbox), the limits tend to break and the cores scale up between 806 MHz to 1.3 MHz. But with Lollipop, the limit is strictly imposed, its almost always set to 806 MHz.

The lower allowed frequencies for the higher cores may help explain the lag for those using Smart mode on 5.1. I'm curious and interested on how Huawei will play this out.

Another observation I have is that with Lollipop beta, phone radio which takes care of signal reception/mobile data, registers a higher chunk of battery percentage (even if I never attempted to connect via Mobile Data, and have background data restrictions set) than with Kitkat. That being said while its being seen as taking away more juice, the signal reception graphs on GSam indicate a consistently high Signal, unlike with Kitkat where in the phone signal fluctuates.

What I like with the Beta is the improved sound during calls, as well as when playing music through speakers and even with the headset. Especially when playing through the headset music is noticeably louder and I can hear the bass pretty well, as opposed to the Kitkat version which has more muffed sound. I also like the appearance and other welcome changes/extra features

Then again our Mate 7 Lollipop is still in its Beta stage. Moreover, even the 5.1 updates which other phones received garnered negative feedback. And to think that some or most of those phones have received early Lollipop updates going back to 5.0, each update with its own corresponding sets of bugs which the next update does not seem to fully fix . Imagine how frustrating it would have been had Huawei taken the same route and provided us with early bird Anroid L updates which bring along with them cans of worms and bugs. In my own opinion the jump to 5.1 is good. I don't want Beta to get rushed. Give Huawei a bit more time to iron out the bugs and the wait will surely be worth it. Coz as I can see it ,while the Beta that we have is imperfect, it holds a lot of promise.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] E.L.E.C.T.R.O.N.I.C:
I installed lollipop: from b130 >> b127 >> b137 sp03 >> b308 (5.1)

And some interesting things accured:

1.i can hide navigation bar AS KitKat! Also it's settings dose not axist in my phone!!

2.huawei swype keyboard didn't installed! I just have Google keyboard

3.kingroot dosen't work for me,i think it dosen't work any more!!

Now i just need to root my device,

my bootloader is unlocked.

Do you have any idea to root it?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
If i have the b125 , i can directly flash it from lollipop?? I also have the roll back package.. That got from huawei site
[Ascend Mate 7 General] isisky:
No you have to be on b137
[Ascend Mate 7 General] rowihel2012:
no way to root tell now

dont do factory reset after install the beta
[Ascend Mate 7 General] E.L.E.C.T.R.O.N.I.C:
Another issue: by playing clash of clans,and without pluging in charger, the cpu tempereture reaches 64 degre C !!!

on kitkat,when i pluged in charger it reached only 54 !

this update has some good features like multiwindow,mini screen,... but dosen't give us a good and stable Rom and has destroyed Material design(the wrost lollipop design i had ever seen), recent apps,effects,...

i'll come back to kitkat ,I was disappointed with the huawei !
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blitzkriegger:
Actually there is. You can follow the instructions ACBKA has provided on post#7:

I was able to successfully flash Supersu via His Nogui recovery on my MT7-TL 10. While I'm not fully sure but I think His recovery works as well for L09
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paullu:
I am in 5.1 now yes it is not smooth and sometime phone restart itself but I am not going back to 4.4.2 I will wait for full update
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blitzkriegger:
It has something to do with the default Governor "Interactive" set on Mate 7. It tends to make the cores (especially the powerful A15's) use high frequencies more often, thereby causing more cpu heating. I set mine to "Ondemand" and am able to play Clash of Clans without the phone heating higher than 45 degrees Celsius.

That being said the update is still Beta so it would be more prudent to wait for the final,stable version before making any final conclusions/judgements regarding Lollipop on our Mate 7
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blitzkriegger:
IT may have to do with Lollipop's ZRam feature. It reserves 10% of the RAM as swap memory. If you are rooted you can turn it off using Trickster mod
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Eagleman71:
You flashed the 4.4 recovery on the 5.1 and worked?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
What app you use to change governor?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Skeese:
To make the final version for 5.1 better, I kindly ask everyone who has found bugs/issues with the 5.1 beta to e-mail Huawei on beta0039@mail01.huawei.com for them to fix those bugs.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blitzkriegger:
I use a combination of Trickstermod and 3c Toolbox. But right now, I'm trying out Device control. Zram can be disabled via Trickster.

Yes Sir it worked for flashing Supersu, but didn't work out for Xposed alpha. ACBKA's recovery doesn't have any graphical interface so the flashing process is done via adb commands, mentioned on his post

I've gone back to B125, done the factory reset then went back up to Lollipop. Indeed motion controls are back, and it looks visually better then Lollipop that has been factory reset. Gonna test it out during the next few days.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
Failure message when i tried to downgrade from lollipop mt7- l10.. Using the roll back file and b125.. Help please .. I want to reflash again the lollipop from the firmware i had which was the b120.. Cos i still dont have the 5x5 layout and motion gestures option..
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blitzkriegger:
B125 is necessary to get to Lollipop. I was on B120 too when I tried to flash to lollipop the first time I tried,and failed as well.. Like what our other Folks have mentioned, here's what you should do to regain motion control and the 5X5 layout once you have downgraded to B125:

1.) Turn off the phone then press Power+Vol.Up to enter stock recovery.

2.) Proceed to Wipe Data/Factory Reset, as well as Wipe Cache Partition

3.) One done with the Wipes, reboot your phone.

4.)Place the Lollipop Update.zip file on the Dload folder of your external sd card or on an external hard drive/otg usb drive.

5.)Go to Updater then Proceed to Local Update. Then choose "incremental update" (the one with the update.zip)

6.) The phone will then proceed back with the upgrade.

7.) Once back with Lollipop, don't factory reset.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
Thats what intended do.. But i cant downgrade to b125, i have the roll back file and the b125 as well.. It fails whenever trying use either of the files.. Should i just try and try?? THANKS
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blitzkriegger:
Try to reflash lollipop stock recovery via fastboot. Next If you have an external hard drive/otg usb you can create dload folder on it then transfer the transition update (extract the main update.app) only. Enable USB debugging on dev options then proceed with the local update via ub storage. Once you have the transition version replace the transition updat.app with b125's updat.app then repeat the process.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
I have the stock recovery, i didnt install any custom..
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blitzkriegger:
You have TL-10 right? You might as well give trying to re-flash the lollipop stock recovery a try. Assuming all your firmware files aren't corrupted I am unsure where else the problem could be.

It should work. Then simply local update to b125 :)
