[Ascend Mate 7 General] tozneno:
ok guys becarefull , don't be root during the process or the update will fail and put you in bootloop. i was in b308 with stock recovery but rooted and my device dld the b317 OTA but failed to aplli it... otherwise the b317 is very very close to final release no bug at all. i just beg huawei for 2 things, the lake of option and action with the intelligent case and the lake of option and action with the fingerprint scanner ( like in the honor 7 ).
[Ascend Mate 7 General] muzammil84:
Anyone can say something about performance vs b145? My battery life is amazing on that latest kitkat and the phone itself is very snappy and fast, no lag at all even with many apps opened. Tried both lollipops(b308 and b312) and it was like 3 years step back in terms of performance(very laggy and slow). I love fingerprint call answering(which is only in lollipop) but I can live without it having a phone with great battery life and actually usable... can someone compare b145 and b317??
[Ascend Mate 7 General] jorgecft:
I was going to ask the same thing... I really really want to try lollipop, but not if its a laggy battery waster

[Ascend Mate 7 General] freco:
Doesn't work for me. Restored original recovery, tried manual update to b308 but no luck.

I'm on 137.SP03

I've got B308 somewhere. Trying to find it and retry.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cadfertiyu:
İ has the problem you have to load b137 again with 3 button method . After that i could load the b308 and b317 updates.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] jopomopo:
It's great update b317. Super smooth and optimized. Couple of extra features has been added, also few not so much to my liking...but overall great improvement to b312, maybe close to final release.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] MuPp3t33r:
Is this update limited to MT7-L09 or is it compatible with L10 as well? If not, any links for L10 version? I have the 3/32GB model

[Ascend Mate 7 General] alvinma:
I don't have that toggle either....could you tell me how did you upgrade to B317?

I don't have the 4g option in B308, but I do have that in B137sp03
[Ascend Mate 7 General] muzammil84:
I was on b145 so I installed b137 from local update, phone restarted and system installed. then again from local update installed b308, phone restarted and system installed, same with b317. I didn't use 3 button method, every installation was from settings menu.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] snake65:
Chuddy why do u need it, I can get s that's what I am running, but I can't even down grade to kk to apply this new one as I keep getting huawei cust fail.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] muzammil84:
after a day of using b317 I can see fast, stable performance with more free ram than before(nice surprise) and battery as good as on b145. However, I can also see where the performance is coming from: phone is noticeable hotter(even with the screen off is not metal cold anymore) so Huawei simply raised the CPU clock up. I might get some tests done to see where the clock is taken to on b317(unfortunately I didn't do that on b145, but I think it wasn't higher than 1.5 MHz).

Also, does anyone know if possible to get Xposed working on lollipop? There are some useful modules to tweak processor behaviours etc
[Ascend Mate 7 General] jopomopo:
I haven't noticed it to be any hotter than previously. Battery is more or less the same as b145. Link+ in wireless settings is nice extra but actually don't know if it works or not. Notifications work on locked screen that's a big improvement. Testing continues...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chudy_85:
snake65 can you use twrp and do it backup from your mate 7. in my fone i dont have cust its delate and i dont now why.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] alvinma:
there's no simple solution when error involves "cust". you probably flashed a rom/update that is not meant for your device

eg. TL10 flashing L09, international TL10 flashing chinese TL10 custom ROM....

try to do the tricky 3-key flash:

put the file in you sd card, but don't put the sd card in the phone

press vol up, vol down and power at the same time

when the screen turned on, push the sdcard into the slot.

see if that works.

btw, you should flash B300 before flashing B1xx

if that's not working, try contact huawei support.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] snake65:
Got mine going again , sorry chuddy iam on 317 now if you need customer from there just unpack the customer with huawei unpacker, I don't think that will work though as I had the same and it didn't matter what cust I flashed it still done the same error huawei cust failed.

Have you downgraded via the B300 ? Your workflow for the B317 is this:

I've done every beta update with same method as local update and always succeeded. I've read that in some cases update files might be corrupted. You could download update again and use formatted sd card if possible.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] muzammil84:
every previous roms we had to unzip and place update.app in dload folder. With b308 you don't do that, don't unzip files, just put the whole update.zip into dload folder. Will work thru local update.

no xposed for lollipop :( I really miss some options sometimes but can live without it, at least b317 is fast and battery life is amazing(after about week of using I can tell it's better than b145, at least in my case). Only issue is with recent tabs; when few tabs open, pressing one(etc chrome) another one opens(dialler or messenger), that happens quite often. Anyone experienced same?

Rooting is very easy, simply flash Twrp(must be the one for lollipop), install SuperSu and you're there! Flash stock recovery back after if you like.

I just got a Mate 7 L09 and it's on 4.4.2 (B143). I want to update it to 5.1 (B308) But it keeps failing as all the roms I'm finding are incremental updates and not full roms.

What rom do I flash to be able to get to the latest Lollipop rom?

Update: I think I got it. I'm using this guide from CarbonTesla (but not doing the b300 part since i'm on B143). Going to see if I can flash B137, then from there I'll flash B308. Is this corect?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] elroy944:
Did you try flashing first b308 and then this one? It should work
[Ascend Mate 7 General] fone_fanatic:
I'm an idiot, everything is in the fist post. Since I was on B143, B308 would not flash so I had to flash B137SP03 and from there flash B308 which I just did and it's now on "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app xx of 144..." Once it boots up, then I'll flash B317.

Battery life is a nightmare with B317

Hi everyone,

since my B137-based system decided to act up recently, I finally made the switch to the latest Lollipop beta B317. At first I though the system was running nice and smooth, but after rooting it and re-installing all my apps with Titanium Backup, I noticed this morning that battery life has gotten abysmally bad.

Overnight, the battery lost 10% because the system decided NOT to go into standby despite flight mode being activated, but instead staying ACTIVE all the time even with the screen off. This morning when I reactivated WiFi and data, it was the same. -5% battery in just under an hour - I never encountered anything like this running KitKat. Oh, and of course, notifications still aren't coming through properly, despite SOME thread keeping the system active ALL THE TIME! (See attached screenshot. Btw, it didn't do this when the system was freshly installed, but I also didn't install any other apps than what I had running on KitKat, where my battery didn't drop at all overnight.)

Is anyone else experiencing this?

At this point, I'm more than frustrated with Huawei. EMUI is a frustrating experience if you want to do ANY kind of customization, because it interferes with EVERYTHING. Now with Lollipop, Xposed isn't working at all, plus the fact that Huawei decided to, once again, cripple a perfectly fine OS.

If I can't solve the battery issue I'm going to have to revert to KitKat, but in the long run, I'm seriously considering ditching the Mate 7. Not because of the hardware, but because the software is a continuing nightmare.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] muzammil84:
It's not Huawei, it's you, battery life on b317 is amazing, better than b145 I can tell it now after 2 wks of using. I used to charge my phone every day on kitkat, now every 2 days. Try reinstalling fresh version of b317.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vonotny:
It appears the culprit is - once again - the Google Account Manager app. It's been keeping my phone awake for over 10 hrs straight. I'm giving it another day + charging cycle to see what happens.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] snake65:
Iam getting 6 hours screen with about 20 hours usage all up, I would say that's great battery life.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vonotny:
Okay, so my widgets are also not working properly. Screw this, I'm back to KitKat + Xposed to have a system that runs at least close to the way I want it. :mad:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vonotny:
I admit the system itself is running rather smoothly. However, with the apps that I use on a daily basis not working properly, plus the lack of Xposed, it's a deal-braker for me. So I'd rather stick with KitKat.

On that topic: Since I rooted my device, I have the latest TWRP for Mate 7 with Lollipop installed. Can someone point me to the stock recovery that I need to do the rollback process? Thanks!
[Ascend Mate 7 General] kaasi:
in this package is the stock recovery+boot for 5.1.1

Upgrade from B145 to B308 is possible, or we gonna make a downgrade to B137?

So, back to B145. EMUI 3.0 is not as nice and refined-looking as EMUI 3.1, and I think Lollipop 5.1.1 has better memory management. Still, I have Xposed back and battery life is also back to normal. :)

Rovio answer for angry birds 2 : Unfortunately we have noticed during testing that your device has some compatibility problems with the game and is unsupported because of this.

Yes, I just ignored it in the end and reinstalled 137 and it all worked fine. Didn't matter what I done it kept saying cust failed for the transition pack after about 3 hours of wasting my time I done the above mentioned and just kept going to 5.1.1 and loving it apart from losing my motion control I have no glitches at all.
