Not yet, i have already added personal data and purchased apps. Maybe next week.

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I tested if it's possible to use this 212 nandroid on a different device, which was on Kangvip 211 before. It's works partitionally but curious:

restore runs error free of all partitions. But boot and system is accepted, but not data and the systemless root preparation.

This is because the device does a EMUI factory reset on first start of the system so everything is like after normal factory reset.

I even restored data again and this happened again on next boot.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Thanks for this nice TWRP backups section!!

Cool, that's a nice clue !!

the TWRP 212 nandroid backup is not available in post #1, isn't it ?

I guess you mean "on Kangvip 211 before"

you mean, you keep having this trouble at each boot?Which one exactly?

So I guess, even if restoring all partition except data from TWRP restore (like for B211 kangvip nandroid backups), we DO NOT, a the moment, have any usable nandroid backup to use on 701L device to upgrade it to B212. Right?

I saw that there is a way to OTA a 701L device to B212, anyway ;) . thanks for that!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes, I got ota on converted 701 wich was on 211 stock. But a Nandroid from this was not full usable on another 211 device, which was on 211 KangVIP.

I don't know why 212 does a factory reset when it finds a data partition, which was backed up on a different device. If should start the 'update dalvic process' instead.

Hi Fady,

Have you found out how to do this? I'm thinking to get the same tablet, Chinese version, but I would really like to change it to English... Thanks!

Cheers,

Gabi
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Install 703L B212 (chinese roms are multilingual, just put your sim at first boot, it'll boot in your language). Then install google play store, google agenda sync services, and google contacts sync services, from rhe app "HiApp" , included in the rom (search for "google")

Then, if you want to go further, install twrp recovery, and try either: B202 international, or B212 kangvip slim, or CyanogenMod 13.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Yaboor22:
I have the ple-703l mediapad m2.7inch. I have downloaded this gem-703l marshmallow update but unfortunately it doesn't work. Did anyone suceeded in updating this earlier mentioned model to marshmallow ?

Please share your thoughts and help.

Cheers,
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bruzay:
Ple models are different from GEM.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Yaboor22:
Yeah I relized that, do you know any rom that works ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bruzay:
You can check the Chinese forums but to be a member is difficult so it's best to stay on android 5.1 EMUI 3.1 if it's stable.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Yaboor22:
Can't understand Chinese lol

The 5.1 lollipop rom is stable but sometimes laggy, and I know the marshmallow is slightly smoother, that's why I am hunting for the marshmallow Rom it I even a custom one. Any luck with anyone? I'm surprised no one managed to upgrade ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Pda23:
Has anyone tried one of these roms on the PLE-703L
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Yaboor22:
I tried it on the ple- 703l model and it doesn't work. These roms listed here will only work on the Gem-703l models. It seems that there are no marshmallow update for the ple model unfortunately...unless someone genius came up with a solution ???

DLoad UPDATE.app for upgrading from 703l-b109 to marshmallow

I have a Huawei mediapad x2 gem-701l that I upgraded it to gem-703l-b109. Everything is ok and I wanted to upgrade it to B2?? (Marshmallow). I downloaded some of the firmware like b205 but it was incremental update.zip that I couldn't use it via dload method. Is there any real link to 703L-B2?? (Marshmallow) firmware with dload folder?

Thank for reply.

I will try this tomorrow but I didn't understand 2 things.

1-You talked there about Android 6 and 5.0 but as I mentioned before I am now on 703L-B109 so my Android version is 5.1.1. Should I use that downgrade /rollback script X2 6.0.rar ?

2-And is it ok to use that 702 (GEM-702-LC158B203CUSTC158D001_DEMO.zip) rom on my 703 firmware?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dentmoc:
Nice work. I am now on kangvip 212 and everything is cool. But I have a issue. When I want to run psiphon it says it can't run because of missing of vpn service API.

My titanium backup can't restore backups too.

I have same Device, an 702L with B006 Firmware and try to update to the B202..but it stop on 17%..any Ideas?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
The latest full OTA package (so installable on any version on your 702L) is B206:

https://ministryofsolutions.com/2018/03/huawei-mediapad-x2-gem-702l-firmware-b206-asia-pacific.html

I doubt the file available there will install with official DLOAD method. But give it a try.

Anyway I recommand you to use the app "firmware finder" to download and install this official full OTA B206:

https://youtu.be/jm5pFNCO5v8

once B206, the app will help you to install the OTA B207 over B206 rom.

Once you are in a official rom B2xx , you con try stable custom roms like "B230 kangvip slim" or "B207 Simply international". Or even beta (with bugs) custom roms like LineageOS 14 or MiUi 8 (see android developpement sub-forum for dedicated threads about all those roms)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thejackson5:
Do you happen to have the stock B230 ROM for the 703L?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
I really doubt somebody has it, as it was a incremental OTA update. I have a hard drive somewhere with X2 backups, i'll have a look one day.

but you can find B230 tooted debloated here, and B230 kangvip slim in a thread nearby this one
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thejackson5:
The problem is I don't have access to a Windows computer, and the only way I can use the « local update » feature is with a stock ROM. I'd very much appreciate if you could look on your hard drive some day!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
I srongtly advice you to installa cutom rom based on the lastest official. Whats is you model of X2, what is your rom now?

a linux computer will be enough to instal custom recovery , adn then install the best rom available for your model!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thejackson5:
Is there really a meaningful difference between the stock B230 and the custom B230? I had a 701L but recently purchased a 703L.

Unfortunately, I only have access to a Mac, not a Linux/Windows machine. I've been trying for over a month to install Bootcamp and Windows virtual machines but none have worked.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
what happend with your 701L ?

for 703L kangivp slim B230 is far more optimised than stock B230 (google support, debloated, lots of additional fetaures, magisk and root...). Simply international B207 is also very nice. You should borrow an windows or a linux computer for half an hour (or go to someone's house) to install TWRP recovery, and then install one of these 2 roms, your device will be really more efficient than with stock roms!

first of all your 703L must be on a B2xx roms (android 6)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thejackson5:
My 701L is fully-functional, but I ordered a 703L because the app I use for my phone number (OpenPhone) requires Android 6, and I thought I would be able to use the « local update » feature with the 703L and the B2XX stock ROMs. Unfortunately, each time I try, it fails.

It's a long story, but essentially, where I live is very remote and I don't have access to any machine but my own. This last month would have been much less frustrating with access to a Windows machine for 30 minutes! :)

When you say "first of all your 703L must be on B2xx roms (android 6)", you mean it must be this way, in order to do what exactly? I'm unclear. Thank you much.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
your 701L could be on android 6 using this file and this method, or even 7 (with some bugs) aAs soon as it as an TWRP recovery installed (windows or linux needed).... But if don't need your 701L, I could be interested ;)

update your 703L to android 6, exactly the same way !
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thejackson5:
I think I'm getting better reception on the 703L than the 701L (I am on Vidéotron in Canada), so I'm quite happy to keep using it. I really appreciate all the help you've given the community — if, after getting my 703L on Android 6, I can find a way to cheaply send you the 701L, you can have it! :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
ha great!

here is my advice for your 703L

1) save as much content as you can on a computer or external SD

2) upgrade it to android 6 with this file and the official update method (it will softwarely be turn to 702L, no worries it will be sorted in next step 4 below)

3) install TWRP recocery

4) in twrp recovery install the most advanced custom rom for 703L based on the vey last official 703L rom

et voilà !
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thejackson5:
Thank you for this!

A couple questions:

1) When converting from 701L to/from 702L to/from 703L, do the bands/frequencies the phones is capable of using change? Or the software change does not activate/deactivate bands/frequencies?

2) For your step 2, can I upgrade to the 702L file using the « local update » method? I tried with the official B205/B209/B211 ROMs but the local updates each failed. Since I don't have access to a PC, and thus can't unlock the bootloader or use other Huawei tools, that's my dilemma.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
1) absolutly not, bands depend of the modem hardware !!!

2) unlock bootloader is just to have more option if X2 crashed, you can do without. yes oficial update has to be use (local update could be use if this is the name of update from teh settings, but official update with restart are more powerful). But the files to put on sd, and where to put them; depend of the content of the update zip file. Please read this link, everything is higly detailed about official update.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thejackson5:
Thank you, your guides have been very helpful. Is it necessary to put it to on an SD card? All of my local updates have been failing, but I have tried to install them from internal storage, not an SD card. Is this why?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
please read carefully the guide for official update, and prepare the file correctly according to it .

My guide advice extrenal SD card formatted in FAT or FAT32, or to the ROOT of your internal storage. Meaning that Botrh have been succesfully used

But i also Strongly advice tu use the file in good format:

unzip GEM-702LC158B203CUSTC158D001_DEMO.zip , look at the content, and carefully follow the guide to know what to put on the sd/root of internal . Sorry I didnt download GEM-702LC158B203CUSTC158D001_DEMO.zip, but you can told me what's inside !

Don't worry, i'm positive I have 703L full android 6 rom in a dead PC somewhere, i'll dig them one day !
[Huawei MediaPad X2] sprooted:
I've taken the liberty of grabbing it too, I can't find any other working links for official roms (I'm looking for a rom for a stock 702l). The ones in OP give me 'no mirrors', and there are none on hicloud.com (is that the official site?).

Is it just a working rom with android 5.1 or higher? Can I just flash it and use it (does it have English, my French is really bad...)? There are a couple of apps I want to install but they need 5.1 or higher, so the stock 5.0 is really frustrating!

I'd have tried either the android firmware app or the desktop version, but neither seem to be available either. Guess I should have done this years ago!

Thanks for any advice you can offer, I appreciate your time.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You can download Huawei Firmware Finder from here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt.3469146/

Enter GEM-702L under Common Base then search. You'll see the complete list of ROMS for the 702L. To the right you'll see Filelist which are the download links to each firmware. You can't manually flash the OTA ones, only the FullOTA ones.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] sprooted:
I think I'd already tried this, all of the firmware links are 404, not found errors. I think they've been removed from hicloud.com, I can't get them either with firmware finder or manually (following links from huawei-firmware.com for example, like http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G733/g490/v124463/f1/full/update.zip)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
The main ROMS (B202 and B003) for the 702L are downloadable in the original post. Those are the main full ROMS. Every other build was just unflashable OTA's. All of my archived files for the X2 can be found here:

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=168410
[Huawei MediaPad X2] sprooted:
Thank you, I tried several things:

B003 from OP - this is Android 5.0, so it installed but didn't update far enough

B202 from OP - I can not get this to dl - always fails at about 25MB

Flashable+Stock+GEM-702LC209B205.zip from your AFH - couldn't install this, too stupid probably!

GEM-702LC209B205.zip from same place - appears to be broken (shows as 0B size in AFH for me)

I eventually got one from here, using the megadrive link (I found that on the Frandroid 'how to install' page)

It's installed and Android 6.0 / EMUI 4 so I'm happy :)

I appreciate your time, and hope this will help someone else.

anyway I have a 701LB005 stock somewhere if really needed, and official B008 update files. But TWRP flahsable B008 above is far more handy, if your goal is to have the true last 701L stock rom (android 5 :( ) !
[Huawei MediaPad X2] BazingoCat:
I just need any compatible update file for my 701L B002, I am stuck with 5.0 right now.

I don't have unlocked bootloader sadly. No TWRP option.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
my advice:

try again to install android 6 on your 701L (be carefull about the content of the zip files you download)

some advices to a nowadays user here

I also advice you to spend few euros to unlock bootloader using DC unlocker, and then install TWRP recovey IN ADDITION to stock recovery . Then you'll be able to fash offical roms (using recovery) and custom roms (using erecovery) . You moght be able to installe twrpo recovery withou unlocking bootloader, But I doubt. Try out?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] BazingoCat:
That would be good, but looks like I must update it from EMUI 3.05 to EMUI 3.1 before I will be able to update it to 4.0.

B005, B006, B008 also fails to install.

"GEM-702LC158B203CUSTC158D001_DEMO (full, convert any X2 devices to 702L) from Huawei Taïwan" fails too.

Looks like I need any 701L-compatible EMUI 3.1 update file (android 5.1).
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
I've just check my notes about 2 X2 I did upgrade from B003. Indeed I went throught B005 and B008 for one of them, and another not sure of B005/

Beack in the time I used Firmware Finder app, not usable anymore!

I put you the exact file I used to reach B005 (full rom) and B008 (OTA incremental update) here.

use those files:

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
no official android 6 for 701L . You have to tranform it into 702L

try this downgrade script from huawei taiwan, that will turn your phone into 702L . It it works, you can retry with 702L android file (B203 or B205). Or try offficial 702L incrmental update file to android 6.

the file is in the "Downgrade 702L to android 5.0 (convert to 702L any X2 devices)" foldern always on the same place:

@Djiban first of all, amazing work saving these files for this long.

@Djiban or anyone --

Please guide me, I am lost! My GEM 702 B006 (5.0.1) system got corrupted. It was rooted with SuperSu but I did a clean-up to unroot. TWRP works. I did a complete system/data wipe in TWRP. I tried two stock ROM files, but update.zip from SDCARD/dload (or root folder) will not flash (it starts but fails.) My final goal is LineageOS. I have NO idea how to get to this from my current situation. Can I use TWRP? What is the fastest path to fix this? I assume I have to flash B202 (6.0) stock rom (I tried, it failed) and then LineageOS. Please include the steps and links to the download(s), there are so many options and I am confused. Thanks in advance.
