Cherry Mobile updated faster to Lollipop simply because its phones are part of the android one initiative of Google for low end phones, meaning they more or less get stock Android as it comes off the oven. I know Android Lollipop has long been anticipated, but hey take a look at the Android 5.1.1 release dates for other phones and You'll see that most of them starting receiving OTA's June/July. Even Motorola which is usually one of the first to receive such updates only rolled out OTA's the last month or so. Given that other Huawei phones already have Lollipop (5.1) on them means the software is already there, its a just a matter of polishing the bugs and adding some features. Here's to hoping that a little bit more patience will reward us with a software update that's solid and not half-baked.

Hello. Can I easily downgrade from this rom?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ahhl:
after reading the thread i am confused on how to do the ota

my build is mt7-tl10v100r001c00b120sp04 and already rooted using kingroot

my question

1. i noticed the ota mixture of different build, some china, some europe, some afrika. question is, is that ok??

link to OTA http://www.carbontesla.com/firmware...collection/huawei-ascend-mate-7-firmware-ota/

2. mine is b120sp04. what is the next step to flash ota successfully? sorry i am blank. from that build (mine) this is from which version? china?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ahhl:
flashed b123. 2hrs. hang at 98%. should i reboot?

........

cannot wait for reply. i reboot and let it flash again.. and it works less than 5 min

but

incremental updateb128.zip cannot work. the software cannot detect the update files whether i put at internal sd or external sd. zipped.

should i unziped it?

........................

ok my mistake. must rename is update.zip. earlier i named it uptdateb128.zip just to make sure i dont mixed up the file
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
Do you mean B313? Yes you can downgrade by first flashing the B300 downgrade package and then whatever kitkat version you feel like reverting to.

B120, B123, B125 e.t.c.

To get B128 first flash B123 then either do OTA or download and flash incremental package to B128

NB: When you downgrade your phone is wiped and will be as good as new so better make a backup

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Rooted or not it doesn't matter.

It's better to download trusted updates from either Huawei website or those posted and confirmed working here.

Don't get me wrong. Am not saying that bad packages are uploaded to the site you posted but note that the mate 7 has several versions so if you download and flash a wrong one you might brick your phone

Since you're on B120 to get to B313

Download and flash B123

Then either do OTA or download and flash the B128 incremental update package

Download and install B313

That's all.

Links to all the files you need are on this thread
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
My thoughts about B313:

Only noticeable changes

Netquin Antivirus

Supernight mode

Bugs:

1. Pedometer doesn't work

2. installing apps take forever

3. Don't ever update facebook if you have it already or try to install of you don't. You'll just waste your data as the update will fail

4. Several cool features were removed for example the fingerprint gestures function is now limited to just answering calls and taking photos. Unlike on B308 where it could stop alarms and even open and close notification panel.

Verdict: Apart from the bump in the Android version number from 5.1 to 5.1.1 it's just not worth it.

B308 is a much better lollipop rom

If you're looking to upgrade and still on B308 don't!
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ahhl:
with regard to facebook installation. i manage to install it using adb. after trying twice.

just do "adb install facebook.apk"

however my the adb canot install facebook.apk v5. it says apk error ( dont know what wrong with my adb, i downloaded from apk mirror)

anyone found anyway to root without custom recovery.

i am on b313. noticed its a bit laggy. i flash fresh install from b120->b123->b128->b313
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
OK so I was connected to Wi-Fi yesterday and my facebook secretly updated itself finally. Checked my play store and yes facebook is among my recently updated apps. On the plus side it now opens from notifications unlike on B308 where it doesn't.

As for rooting. You have to do it through custom recovery for now or wait till kingroot gets updated to include exploits for our kernel version.

I still prefer the custom recovery option any day

Hi Paulo

I bought mine yesterday, and it came with b125. How can i upgrade to b128 ou downgrade do b123, in order to follow the right b128-b313 steps?

Downgrade to b123 :)

[Ascend Mate 7 General] saidtaha57:
In case you want to downgrade back to B128 or B123, flash this B300 transition firmware and then apply your stock KitKat firmware.

hi

is b300 rollback file work on b309 chinese bulid ? how i can flash international rom on chinese build number ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] MuPp3t33r:
I installed this update last night and was initially disappointed with the speed as well, what I found is that this rom is bundled with NQ Antivirus, as soon as I disabled it everything became much more fluid. Maybe give that a try and see if you notice any improvement. But it could just be me that noticed something that never really happened so you could at least prove me right or wrong.

Application installs take long(er than usual) but from what I've read this in the way ART works vs Dalvik on the Kitkat roms.

Otherwise the rom is overall not that bad from my side, haven't found anything not working yet, now I'm waiting on a root exploit for this kernel
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
After install b313 disable nq and wait 2 hours without use the phone. No lag and great battery life

Hi all!

Your kind help is warmly required :)

I have an Ascend Mate 7 MT7-TL10 running under Android 4.4.2 rev. B128

I have unlocked the device, flashed a custom recovery and rooted with CWM

Despite all my various attempts, the update to Lollipop falls each time.

I even tried to come back to a stock recovery (or I think I did do??) by flashing this file: http://xdaforums.com/mate-7/help/mt7-tl-10-bringing-to-alive-lollipop-t3168305 (point N°2)

I also tried with TWRP installed (http://xdaforums.com/mate-7/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-mate7-android-4-4-t3136588)

Nothing has worked.

So, please, any hints?

Thanks.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ymalvinma:
You have to go back to fully stock before upgrade to lollipop. To do that first you need to flash the stock recovery that comes with B128.

Firstly download the official B128 ROM, then use huawei ROM extractor to extract the ROM and find recovery.img.

Flash that via fast boot.

To be safe, flash B128 ROM via stock updater.

After that, you should be back to stock and your superuser should be lost.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] tarek67:
Many thanks [MENTION=6433822]ymalvinma[/MENTION] but nothing is working.

First: impossible to boot in recovery mode (adb reboot recovery)

And I've downloaded the B123, B128 Update (small file - didn't find the full B128 Rom file)

Tried a roll back to B123 without success

So I get stuck...

[update] Is It mandatory to have the phone "locked"?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] gunlock4real:
Try to update the full B123 via Hisuite on PC, i had flashed custom recovery before and that the only way i got back to stock

Btw i had the Chinese TL10 unlocked, hope the method works for yours
[Ascend Mate 7 General] tarek67:
Thx.

My concern is that I'm unable to find the full B123 package
[Ascend Mate 7 General] gunlock4real:
page 4 or 5 or 6 on this thread, there are link to b123, b128 update and b313 update, search for your self
[Ascend Mate 7 General] alvinma:
alright here's the file since you can't follow my guide....btw this is my other account.

do this:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

where recovery.img is in the attachment

now you have your official recovery back

you need to have your phone "unlocked"
[Ascend Mate 7 General] tarek67:
Hi and thanks.

T5he zip file named "D__MT7 Jazz_JAZZ-TL10 Cellc_MT7-TL10_V100R001C00B123_Firmware_The Middle East Africa_Channel-Others_Android 4.4.2_EMUI 3.0_05012REM.zip" doesn't work!

[update]finally, all worked and update to lollipop 5.1.1 succeeded.

The mistake I was doing is that I was trying to install the B128 update and the B313 with the .APP file and not the ZIP package.

Thanks all for your help.

Play Store Facebook updates

So I've been using this rom for a while now and so far I am enjoying it, with the exception of one problem, hopefully someone has a fix for me.

Every time there is a Facebook update from Play Store, it successfully downloads the files, spends up to 10mins trying to install then fails with error 504

Immediate fix is to remove my Google account from the device, clear data/cache on Play Store and Google Play Services, reboot the device, add my Google account again then it will install the update successfully.

But having to do this EVERY time there's an update is a bit annoying to say the least. This error appears to be limited to Facebook only, other apps update flawlessly...

Any takers on a solution? I have tried uninstalling Facebook completely and downloading again but once more have to go through the above fix to get the fresh install to work
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cadfertiyu:
İ am using b312 on a lt 09 device . when i want to update facebook i took the same error. But when i plug my device to charging and update facebook , it updates flawlesly. İ dont know why
[Ascend Mate 7 General] MuPp3t33r:
Bit of an unusual workaround that, sadly didn't work on my device :(
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cadfertiyu:
Colud you please try starting to update facebook and close screen immediatly ? just start update and close the screen and wait 10 minutestehn open and look if it has been updated ...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] waqas.aziz:
Where can I find B300?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Raithlin:
Regarding the Facebook updates, I had the same issue. Got around it by installing Facebook from the Amazon app store.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] MuPp3t33r:
Thanks for the idea, didn't make any difference though, got same result. I managed to get around it by downloading an apk file directly off the net and installing, no errors that way.

Well I guess I'll just wait for next beta, or better hopefully the official release of a new version and see how that goes...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
B317 is out. Heard those in Germany and France have got the update already but it seems it another beta. Though they reported it's very stable and can be used for daily use.

Is there anyone here from or in Germany/France with a TL10 that can confirm this?

We will need links too.

Hi there all,

I don't know why ... but I have B129 version ... and not B128

Can I upload please ?

Thans aall

Denis
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
B129 is the latest incremental kitkat update. Yes do upload as It might be needed when the official lollipop OTA starts rolling out.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] DenisJ:
Thanks for the answer :)

I just try to install B313 ... but give me error.

I must install something in order to downgrade please ?

Thanks AGAIN

Denis
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
Of course it should give you errors as you're on B129

To install B313 you must be on B128

To downgrade to B128

First install B123 then either do local update to B128 or download and install the incremental B128 update package.

Once you are back on B128 you can now install B313 normally
[Ascend Mate 7 General] DenisJ:
I have dowbload the B123 and try it ... but give me the same error after restart...

Do you think I must try the B120 maybe ?

Thanks again

Denis

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

I just downloading the B120 ... and it's installing :)

Then I'll try the B123 ...

and then the B128 ...in order to update at B313

Will seee:)

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Ok ... aftre I install the B120

I can't install the B123 ... he propouse me an OTA upload at B125SP04

... what can I do now please ?

Thanks again

Denis
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
What version of Mate 7 are you using? Hope it's a TL10?

Perhaps try install the B125sp04 then see if you can now install B123 then B128 and finally B313
[Ascend Mate 7 General] DenisJ:
I installed the B125

and now I can't install the B128 nor the B123

... there a propouse to install the OTA B129 ... again ... the last thai I had before begin the updates.

Yes ... I have the Dual Gold edition (3 gb)

Now I have the B125 and I don't know what can I install there

Please help (F1)

Thsnks again
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Nissenko:
If you want to install B128, you have to install B123 from the B300 rollback

So B300 > B123 > B128, then you should be able to instal B313 or B317 if you can find it
[Ascend Mate 7 General] DenisJ:
Sorry .. the B300 is not a downgrade from lollipop ?

I still have Kitcat on my mate 7

Thanks

Denis

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Great ... now I just broke my phone :(

I upload the B300 ... and it install it

But now after I restart it I have always in the middle of screen a window with "UI blocjked" (translate from italian) and a button "ok"

when I push OK the window turn back again ...

If I restart it, I have about 5-7 seconds before the window startup again.

But I try to put the B123 rom ... but it didn't take it ... error

What can I do now ? ... maybe buy another :(
[Ascend Mate 7 General] DenisJ:
I save my mate 7 :)

So I discover that in this case the unique mode was to upload the B123 using the force metode:

5.1	Force upgrade

Step 1.	A MICRO SD card of 4GB or more should be available. The MICRO SD card made by Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax is recommended.

Step 2.	Format the MICRO SD card (This operation is optional).

Step 3.	Make sure that there is an UPDATE.APP under the dload. Copy the Main package of dload in PC to dload of SD card.

Step 4.	Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the MICRO SD card into the handset. Pressing the VOLUME UP key and VOLUME DOWN key, then press the POWER key to power on the phone, and VOLUME UP key and VOLUME DOWN key should be pressed more than 10 seconds, then enter the Software Upgrade Mode.

Now I'll try the B128 ...

[Ascend Mate 7 General] MuPp3t33r:
Noticed another bug affecting my device: if I open contacts app (to find/add/edit a number or make a call for example) then Whatsapp seems to lose connection to device contacts so all my chats show as numbers instead of names. Not sure if it makes a difference but my contacts are synced with my Google account instead of being stored on device.

All is restored back to normal after device reboot.

To go back to B128 from lollipop you first of all have to install B300

Just open the folder and install the update.app file

Then install B123

And finally do the incremental OTA update or download and install B128

i flashed B309 and i want come back to kitkat but the rollback file give me an error

my mate7 is chinese can anybody helps me ?? i didnt find any rollback file for my phone

sorry for my bad english ..
[Ascend Mate 7 General] MuPp3t33r:
Back when I was on KitKat there was an option for the navigation bar to hide it, and when I did the upgrade it seemed to carry the setting over. Did a factory reset today and the option seems to be gone now. Anyone know how to get it back? Quite liked that feature.

Update on the Facebook issue I reported before, definitely something to do with this rom as I still couldn't install Facebook from play store or from an apk file after the factory reset. I've resorted to using a very old version after wasting my time trying to install over 30 other previous versions from an apk.

Any wind of a newer rom from Huawei?

Update: so for the Facebook issue, I downloaded the file from apkmirror and found that the files labeled Android 4.0.3+ work perfectly and the ones labeled Android 5.0+ don't work. Leaves me wondering if this is truly lollipop that we using now...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
There's a new ROM (B317) for those on TL09 & TL10

Unfortunately those using the TL10 who have got the update decided to hoard it.

Try the 2.46 version

I got bored and decided to flash this latest version of Lolipop on my AM7; needless to say - it's appalling, as there's severe lag when scrolling through a browser and just going to the settings.
