Nope, you don't need to flash to B309. Just flash the stock recovery HERE and download B322 HERE. Copy dload to external SD and flash stock recovery and reboot to OTA Upgrade mode (three-finger salute).
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
[MENTION=4960802]thenameisnigel[/MENTION], just to set things clear. Does it make sense to flash just the boot.img file from the B322 image and then proceed with installing the PAC rom ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
so unzip HUAWEI MT2-L03C00B322.rar and copy dload folder to SD CARD? I just did that and it said update.zip not found. hmm...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thenameisnigel:
No, you have to flash stock recovery and flash the whole B322 image.

Turn off the phone. Hold vol up+vol down+power until the Huawei logo comes up and then release only the power button. Keep holding the vol up+vol down until it starts upgrading/installing.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
He's saying skip all the other OTAs. Just flash 322.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
That worked. (now I understand the 3 finger solute, hahaah). What I was doing wrong was booting into the stock recovery and was trying to "upgrade from sd card" on the menu. Which failed. The 3 finger solute worked. 20%. right now. No just to be clear. when this is done flash twrp back from adb and then i can restore my pac image then dirty flash the new one so I dont loose any data? or should I do new install and reinstall apps and settings using titanium backup. i prefer the diry flash. lol

Can you add this guide to the Index?

1. Download B321 Recovery from:

https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B-nJFDpWA4MdVjhEYzU3TXlMZ0U#list

2. Copy recovery to your adb folder (usually c:\adb)

3. flash recovery using ADB ( I recommend renaming the file to something easier like b321recovery.img so it will be something like "fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\b321recovery.img

4. Download B322 Image from Huawei Site:

5. http://consumer.huawei.com/us/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=52043

6. Unzip and copy dload folder to your SD Card on your phone.

7. Power off phone and do the following.

8. Turn off the phone. Hold vol up+vol down+power until the Huawei logo comes up and then release only the power button. Keep holding the vol up+vol down until it starts upgrading/installing.

10. Once phone boots go to about phone and keep clicking "build number" until you unlock developer options

11. Enable "USB Debugging" in Developer Options under Settings.

12. Download TWRP 2.8.7.0 from:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347796529

13. Flash TWRP same you you flashed stock recovery in step 3. (I would rename to twrp.img) (fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\twrp.img)

14 Boot back into TWRP and restore your backup or install new build.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

So far so good. I got TWRP back up and I'm creating a B322 backup since I dont have one. before I install PAC back.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
You don't need B321 recovery for you to flash B322 image. Any Lollipop recovery will do.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Is the update worth all of this? What's new in it?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thenameisnigel:
No other ROM supports anything lower than B322 as of today so yeah sorta worth it if you want continued updates.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
Even if its just a couple of changes since all new builds of Pac and the other roms will need the B322 bootloader its best to go ahead and do it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I understand this but if your already on PAC ROM and need to upgrade from B309 you need to install a stock recovery. B321 Recovery is the latest one we have right now. BTW [MENTION=4960802]thenameisnigel[/MENTION] it worked. I restored my PAC backup from 9/5 and upgraded to 9/9 that way i had no data loss. Working!!! Thank you again! Optimizing app 96 of 151 lol
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thenameisnigel:
Can anyone reproduce the Facebook notification icon issue on the latest build (09/09) as described HERE?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Better tag Scootsbi.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
[MENTION=4968780]ScoobSTi[/MENTION]
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
My icons and notification panel seem fine with Facebook on new build. Don't mind the colors I have LPthemer
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
How did that work if you went to 322 then restored Pac that was not 322 based?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
That's a question for [MENTION=4960802]thenameisnigel[/MENTION]
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
He restored just the data partition.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Ok so if I do all this back to stock stuff then flash the latest Pac Man is it safe to restore data only from my backup? Or can I restore my whole backup then flash today's update?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Make a backup right now in TWRP and when you restore you will be right back to this moment

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------

Good idea. Thanks! Keeps it all in one place!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Call record did not make it into this build?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thenameisnigel:
Nope, Xposed module is still needed for that. For some reason, just enabling it didn't do anything.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
[MENTION=4960802]thenameisnigel[/MENTION] I don't know if it helps but "Enable CM call recorder" didn't work but "CM Settings" module has the option in it and that worked. If you can find out what the difference is in "CM Settings" that is your answer. That's what I've been using so far. See pics
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Ok so I am now on stock B322 and flashed TWRP. The ROM still fails to flash. Now what??? The two previous builds will also not install. My backup got erased because like a dumbass I forgot to move it to external storage
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thenameisnigel:
Are you using the correct TWRP? If so, what error are you getting?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
What's the message?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Did you remember to advanced wipe?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Using the one that is linked here in the instructions.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
I have no root. smh
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thenameisnigel:
Factory reset is required. Backup data, wipe, install, restore data.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Click the home button then click wipe then advanced wipe and check all but bottom 2

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

Then install again
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Didn't work. Factory reset, booted to TWRP, flash started for about a second then stopped and rebooted on it's own
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
[MENTION=4960802]thenameisnigel[/MENTION] here is the kernel finally!

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
For your information. I have flashed Tom's second CM build (http://code.nwwn.com/roms/android/cm-12.1/). Battery issues seem to have been addressed. The phone has been asleep for 3 hours and I am yet to lose a single %. Usually, I'd have lost about 4% over that period !! [MENTION=5530607]Moody66[/MENTION] has already attested to that. I will continue testing, though.

Another improvement I noticed is the speed with which the sim card is detected. In the previous build, it took about 30-40 sec after the phone has booted for network to be detected. With this new build, it happens almost immediately.

Seems, we might already have a very stable ROM !

The only issue thus far is that wifi doesn't get disconnected when you set the "Keep WiFi during Sleep to Never" option to "Never". WiFi doesn't get disconnected.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Someone please tell me why I cannot flash this now after going back to stock and re flashing TWRP as the instructions say
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
I'm going to repeat what others have already stated. Just make sure every step is completed on your side:

1. Have B322 installed.

2. Flash the twrp in the CM thread.

3. In twrp, go to wipe, advanced and tick system, data, dalvik and cache.

4. Install the zip file.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I'm awake! Did you get it?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Wipe everything but last two items. Cache dakvik system data should all be wiped.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
I managed to get it installed. Thanks for all your help guys. I'm having trouble getting root back now. ***edit*** fixed
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Its already rooted. Enable DEV in settings and enable root.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lucasho2312:
For those who are using latest build (based on B322), is your phone usable with LCD density of 240 ? I need to confirm this before updating.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thenameisnigel:
I'm using 240 right now and it works fine.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Ran 280. Shouldn't be an issue. That would be to small for me to read. Lol

Geesh I need sleep. Can't even make a coherent sentence.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
I use mine at 240 and it's great.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
You mind telling me what you were doing wrong when you were flashing this? I get the same error message and I do have the twrp-2.8.7.0-mt2L installed I clicked all but the bottom 2 on the wipe and still experiencing this error when flashing.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Have to be on 322 bootloader.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thenameisnigel:
What is the error?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Incompatible data.... Wrong bootloader or you aren't doing an advanced wipe.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
Alright I will go back and start over. I will let you know Thanks
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
What would cause me to get this error in TWRP when wiping "E:Unable to mount storage"?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheGeekRedneck:
OMG! How did I not know about these builds!

SWEEEET!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
You don't have an external SD card. Or it is bad. Or just a really cheap one.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I'll make a video tomorrow. I had no idea so many people were on B309.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Awesome. I don't think anyone. Knew. Or. Maybe everyone kept jumping back to 309 instead of straight to 322. Bypassing 309 all together. Which I wasn't aware one could do from 4.3. Thanks for helping.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Just to be clear the official answer to why were flashing B309 to B322 is because we need the "bootloader updated"?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thenameisnigel:
That is correct.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Gotcha I'll make the video tomorrow so no more confusion. It's all over all the forms. It's the same thing over and over again
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Yep. That's all. O did see where some were going through the process though. Flashing back to 309----them 322 etc. Isn't needed. 322 can be flashed from 4.3 JB or any other condition.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
I'm honestly not sure what was going wrong. I did go to Wipe / Advance Wipe and wiped everything but the bottom two selections and it finally installed. But I had to go back to stock B322 first from the previous version of this ROM that I was on.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
You probably flashed that version of the ROM while not on b322. New one needs it. Others didn't.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
I stayed on 309 because 320 had issues for me and I never bothered to follow the Huawei thread after that. It was too much of a pain in the arse to get updated. So when CM popped up I went straight to that. Probably what a few others did too. I know a lot of people weren't receiving OTA's and then of course people who did refused to share the update.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
That's a different issue. Thoes people just didn't read the instructions. I'm talking about people who were already on a custom ROM from B309 and now stuck because they don't K of how to reflash stock recovery and rom then put twrp back is intimidating to people.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
There ya go. That's what it was. Least you know now and can share your experience with others!

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

Ahhhh. True

Good point.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Iguanadon:
I don't know if its been mentioned. kernel 3.4.0
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
That's what I did B309 was having GPS issues for me so I flashed CM then from CM TO PAC. I never cared about stock ROM because I was never going back! Hahah so I thought.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
If this latest is based on B322, do you think the Huawei camera will work? Or I wonder if it can be ported. I miss some of it's features.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Ya the stock camera sucks and Google camera has thoes stupid extra features (sphere, panorama, and blure) none of which work good and the other cameras have ads

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Still takes fast pics at least. Remember on 4.3 the camera took forever to actually capture the photo lol
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Yes. Its gallery.apk I believe.

Maybe shm can yank it off his wife's phone for u
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Iguanadon:
Maybe this? B322 sorry fails install and will FC if placed in system/apps and try to run.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
That from L stock? Or 4.3?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
Please correct me cause I am a little slow, but I understood this from the CM thread "You need to have updated to at least B309 before you can install this build." I flashed B309 when it first came out then B320 when it came out then B322 when it was released.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
All new ROMs out in the last 2 days and all ROMs in the future require you to be on bootloader from 322. Which can be flashed from 4.3 jelly bean or any version forward.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
Its is an older, and probably a cheap Sandisk sd card that could be the the issue, never thought about that. Thanks
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Wish I could be more help. It's all I can think of to be honest. The mate 2 is picky about SD cards. Don't know why. Sorry again.

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

Just a thought have you tried pulling it out and reinserting it?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I did try that, and that might have been what worked. I had it so messed up last night I thought I bricked it. I couldn't get back into recovery and when I did get back in it wouldn't restore my backup, finally did get it restored, and now I need to find a good sd card to replace it. Thanks
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Just a question. Why are you needing access to it? You could use internal sd to store ROMs and gapps. Just make sure you don't wipe internal SD when you do a wipe. At least until you get another external SD.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I know sometimes in the past on some phones like my old Samsung Note on some Roms you were required to wipe internal memory to flash properly. I gave it a shot thinking it might be the same scenario.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Ahhh. Ya you should be ok. Wiping internal SD isn't a have to case. But I always do just to keep space clear. And safer to me. But should get you by.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I will just get a new sd to be on the safe side. Thanks
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lucasho2312:
I just post a few bugs I have seen so far (9/11/2015). Rom is still fantastic though.

1. Can't turn off google security > Verify apps.

I turned it off. It turned itself back on.

2. Can't use 4 tiles per row on quick panels.

I ticked it off. It unticked itself.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
4 tiles works for me but where do you find the google security settings that you are referring to cause that pop up is annoying lol
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lucasho2312:
4 tiles work for me now too. "Verify apps" is in the app Google Settings. I did a restore and everything is good now.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I saved a recovery file and this is what issue i'm having I guess an unknown bootloader, but I am running B322.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Hmmmm that isn't right. Only suggestion is get a new SD card. Go back to stock recovery and reupdate to 322. Make sure it completes correctly. Something may have been corrupted.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I did get new sd card so I guess will reload B322 and try it again. I will give it a try and I will let you know. Thanks
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Awesome. Yes please post back. Any thing we learn from your experience we can share if anyone else runs into the same thing.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I will give it a try this weekend when I get some time. Thanks for the feedback.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nrfitchett4:
Found a bug. Using the amazon app to search using camera to scan barcode causes immediate reboot. Running sept 9 version after flashing official lollipop release. Nothing nodded, stock settings.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lucasho2312:
Guys. Enabling keyboard cursor on navigation bar makes system UI crash and later on bootloop.

So be careful with changing PAC settings.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
Update still no go. I flashed stock recovery, flashed B322 from sd card, then flashed back to TWRP. Still shows up as an unknown bootloader. I'm out of ideas.:confused:

EDIT: Removed previous comment after further thoughts.

Unzip the ROM and look for a file called, updater-script. Open it with a text editor. Look for where it searches for B322 at the top of the script. Change it to unknown. Save file. Rezip contents. Install on device.

Personally I would just flash to PAC rom until Carbon gets a few more builds
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
Yeah I just dont want to reload everything had Carbon set up perfect.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Lol I totally understand. Just boot into twrp when your bored and have your phone set up perfect and make a backup. Then click wipe and wipe everything and install PAC with the same gaaps and xposed if you want and set it up. If you don't like it you can just restore carbon the way you like
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
If you Have a full TWRP backup that you keep updated you can just restore the data partition after reinstalling your Rom and Xposed if you have it installed. After installing the Rom go back to the main menu select restore and then restore the data portion from whatever Rom you had the updated backup installed from. Then after the restore just select reboot system and all your apps will be restored and you should only need to change system settings that you had changed before.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
Already tried it just stays on the boot logo no boot:(
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
I had similar issue when switching from stock to CM.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I was using my data backup from Carbon.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
what I done was to wipe everything after creating a full backup of PAC after having issues with carbon, then I installed Carbon, Gapps, and xposed then instead of rebooting the system I went back to the main menu and selected restore, then selected the PACrom backup and just selected the data partition to restore it. Then I clicked on reboot system. It worked fine for me. I don't know why it wont work for you. Did you just restore the data partition and none of the others?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
Yeah Ive done it couple times and just restored the data, and no go. It stops at the boot logo.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Swapping builds you always wipe. Always.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
I did wipe also.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I wiped Dalvik,Cache,Data,System,flashed rom and gapps together. and then went back to restore data only.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

i just lost my status bar and cannot figure out what I did to lose it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Are u swapping data from different ROMs?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
That's provably the issue. The reason super asks is because that will cause issues as well. Especially when one of them change things like the status bar in the ROM.

Phone Dialer

Well I guess Im the one with this weird issue.I had an issue on Carbon with my phone dial pad looking like this during a call when I click the dial pad. Well I did a full wipe, installed PAC, didnt install any backed up data to. full clean install. And I got the same issue on PAC. Any ideas :confused:

Could I reinstall a known good phone apk file?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:

Did you do advanced wipe? Sorry if you answered these questions already but back to troubleshooting basics.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I did do advance wipe, clean install of Carbon and PAC, same issue. I do have a back up of B322. I wiped and restored back to B322 already and back to Carbon and PAC still there.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I wiped again and installed Carbon again, before setting anything up I made phone call and keyboard popped up numbers are all there. Something in settings on PAC and Carbon that I must have set wrong???
