I'm having an incredibly hard time with rooting my x2 as well... any additional help would be much appreciated. I'll even pay. I need to get some potential malware off my phone that came pre-installed
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
You need to check 2 things.

1. Developer options has usb debugging enabled.

2. Drivers are installed for ur phone. Install huawei suite and connect ur phone, it should download and install driver.

The link for unlocking bootloader is down, please provide alternate link.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] xDark_:
Oh I was supposed to install that? I didn't because I'm still wary of the software from Chinese places (one gave me a virus and I had to nuke the hard drive once). I'll install it and get back to you.

ok, i installed it but i'm running into a bit of trouble when trying to unlock the bootloader.

when i input everything to the website, it keeps giving me this:

您的解锁码为：hw_account_member_error

even though I'm logged in. help?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
Can anyone share a link to bootloader unlock files. I can't download from the link in the op

Edit: Never mind, tried again and was able to register
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
I get the same error msg. Did you find a solution?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] xDark_:
no, i'm guessing it's a region issue but i might be wrong
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Try mailing to mobile@huawei.com with your SN, IMEI, Product ID. Ask them for unlock code, they send back unlock code in few days/hours.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
- Make sure you have selected "Standard mode" in Settings > Application display effect" else dpi change in build.prop won't be effective.

- find ro.sf.lcd_density and hw.lcd.density and change their values to whatever u want, i have kept it 170.

- also i added qemu.sf.lcd_density=170. Not sure if it does anything or not. Just added it, things are working so didn't remove it. Maybe you can test and tell.

Huawei Mediapad X1 users are using many X-posed modules. Try one of the the "X-posed for Huawei" APK :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56658144&postcount=24

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3280093&view=findpost&p=71653935

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3097628&d=1420379982

http://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v29_665be7.apk

on X1, you can change DPI without being root (using ADB, so bootloader mus be unlocked I guess). Try it on the X2:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/108681323981779236254/posts/5JsU7bUHHaq?cfem=1

One thing required is to activate USB debugging & once you do a adb devices the X1 will ask for usb debugging rights for your PC via a pop-up window.

All you have to do is just click on allow on the pop-up window on the X1

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- Once the new density is established, you must reboot your Mediapad

- please install Swype(paid version) or the Hackers keyboard and activate it before changing the density, to avoid any keyboard issues

- if you plan to reformat/factory reset, restore the DPI levels to 400 first. This is because the setup wizard of Huawei won't work at a lower DPI and the installed keyboards will look distorted and then redo the wizard using the, uggh, 400 DPI resolution)

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
That's to bad. I was excited for xposed
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
You've been lucky, if you've tried a complete rom with custom recovery .zip install, you would have brick your phone. If it's the same as X1.

The flashing seem to need definitely the dload / stick recovery way.

Custom recovery on X1 is actually mainly use for nandroid backup.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
That person(who released this twrp) has released a zip based rom also using the lastest b012 rom. That would have succeeded as he has already installed it on his phone.

I just didnt wanted to try out that rom as there was nothing new in that rom.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] dfsteen:
This post is not being updated. I've moved this off to it's own topic here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=61677260

All,

In case you are uncomfortable with kingroot, or you want a less intrusive install (since we don't need any exploits to root this device - kudos Huawei!) I have built a modified version of the boot image that uses supersu by chainfire instead. This is based on the work done here http://cn.club.vmall.com/space-uid-5467988.html, so we still owe them thanks. All this does, is move the Superuser.apk package into the system partition so that it can be installed as an administrative application, add in a /sbin/su file, and copy /sbin/su into /sbin/xbin so we can use it. Here is a full diff for the 0012 version from the default boot.img supplied by Huawei:

diff: ./charger: No such file or directory
diff: ~/mediapad/dload.012/boot/filesystem/charger: No such file or directory
diff -r ./default.prop ~/mediapad/dload.012/boot/filesystem/default.prop
4c4
< ro.secure=0
---
> ro.secure=1
6,7c6,7
< ro.debuggable=1
< ro.adb.secure=0

diff -r ./init.rc ~/mediapad/dload.012/boot/filesystem/init.rc
528,532d527
< service load_boot /sbin/load_boot
< class main
< seclabel u:r:install_recovery:s0
< oneshot
<
Only in ./sbin: load_boot
Only in ./sbin: su

load_boot contains the following:

#!/system/bin/sh

/sbin/su --auto-daemon &

if [ ! -e /system/app/Superuser.apk ];then
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp -rpf /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
fi

if [ ! -e /system/xbin/su ];then
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp -rpf /sbin/su /system/xbin/
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
fi

The /sbin/su file has an md5sum:

md5sum sbin/su
cd029c6b8b7065ff8ff2860137aeff99 sbin/su

and that matches the md5sum of the su included with v2.46 of chainfires supersu ZIP file (in the link below). So from a security perspective, I think we are pretty clean.

To use this, do the following:

0) Make sure you have unlocked the bootloader first!!!

1) Download chainfires Superuser from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip , and extract the Superuser.apk file from the common folder.

2) adb shell "rm -rf /data/local/tmp/*"

3) adb push <path_to>/Superuser..apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk

4) adb reboot bootloader

( your device will restart)

5) fastboot flash boot <path_to>/super_boot.img

6) fastboot reboot

That's it! You'r rooted!

This does not do any odd exploits or camera driver adjustments or anything so there shouldn't be any issues with the camera or sound, but, as always, no guarantees.

File is to big to upload here so grab it from here:

Been 9 days now but no code from Huawei-horrible service from them.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
bark how did you flash b12. I unzipped the b12 Rom and I see a .app file. Not sure what to do with it.

Edit: Never mind, figured it out using google translate on the pdf.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
When you unzip, the app file is in dload folder. Copy dload folder to sd card. Goto EMUI updater > menu button > local update. You will see the update.app you copied to sd card. Install it from there.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
When we use B012 root method on B013 rom, the sound stops. Does your method work with B013 system without problem ?

Anyone tried it ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cashif:
[MENTION=2942653]bark1234[/MENTION]- Have finally received the unlock code but the system has been updated to B013. Could you update if you have been able to overcome sound issue after root and also please update if there is any other alternate root method for B013.

One more thing- is it possible to downgrade to B012 without having to download the whole package? (Trying to download but download keeps failing from Huawei official Site)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
Yes, I tried this but still NO SOUNDS :((
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
I think there is no proper root for B013 yet. If you want root, downgrade to B012.

You have to download whole package only. You can download B012 from here(my dropbox share) : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7footsggit5rezj/AACN8Fwa0bSkLf6A1wZYZYeDa?dl=0

copy complete dload folder to sd card and apply local update from settings > updater > menu > local update.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dfsteen:
b012 made some significant changes to how the sounds are handled from b009. I assume that b013 made some additional changes. Once the b013 code goes up on the website:

http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=134

I will pull it and build a rooted boot image. They have been pretty good about getting the code up there fairly quickly, so it shouldn't be long. In the meantime, I will see if I can get what I need from the OTA image.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
The solution to NO SOUNDS problem for B013 rooted with B012 method:

1. Go back to B012

2. Root B012.

3. Install Titanium Backup Pro.

4. Open Titanium Backup Pro and go to Problems? then Upgrade Superuser -> Then install Superuser from Play Store as indicated.

5. OTA update to B013

6. Reboot

7. Open Titanium Backup Pro again you will see the phone still ROOTED and SOUNDs are still there.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dfsteen:
All,

I have posted an updated image for b013, in my original post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61521094&postcount=92

Hi, thanls for this info.

I suppose that you have to unlock your bootlaoder first? Can you telle use a bit more about TWRP install (steps and links). thx!!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Yes unlock bootloader first,root and flash Twrp Recovery,is one click with bat.exe,before enable USB Debugging.When Waiting for Device in the window,power oft the x2 and Boot manually in Bootloader.(Do not unplug USB Cable)(press and hold power and Volume- Button)

Sorry for Bad English
[Huawei MediaPad X2] eman2001:
Yes, you have to unlock your Bootloader for this to work, what i did was downloaded the Chinese TWRP from

http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4642995&extra=page=1&page=1

then google translate your way to download the Chinese TWRP recovery.zip and download and extract the folder to your desktop, boot your phablet to fastboot mode then, open CMD and type in "fatsboot devices" to make sure that your device is recognized by your computer, then inside the extracted TWRP folder click on the recovery.bat file and keep on pressing Y like 4 times till it installs the TWRP recovery for you and after that it closes it self automatically and thats it, now type in "fastboot reboot" and your phablet would reboot and thats it you now have the chinese TRWP recovery installed :)
