[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
Where do I find the recovery.img ?? I finished, honestly, by mixing everything.

One of the 4 that I flashed? boot, username etc? Other?

Sorry for the question ...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes, you have already flashed this file to dload the b112.

But if you had installed TWRP you had overwritten it on the recovery partition. So simply flash recovery.img again.

To upgrade to 6.0 we need a clean stock installation

Tesr then if ota runs to 211.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
The B211 is installed correctly.

I handed the TWRP.

But still no root.

Do I start the process of root (bad memory lol)

Or can I install the rooted rom, without been rooted ??

I thank you very much for your help and your patience! :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes simply start ota after flashing recovery.img (instead of TWRP)

Hey guys,

I have a GEM-703L with the B205 beta. I am trying to move off of this to eventually have the one of the custom ROM based off of B211. Currently I have my bootloader unlocked via DCUnlocker; however I am NOT ROOTED.

Have a couple of questions:

1. Do I need to root my device to get TWRP installed?

2. What version of TWRP should I be using, will version 5.1.1 work with Marshmallow ROM's or do I need TWRP 6.0. What is the best way to install? (Also, I need to flash back to B112 stock to then upgrade OTA to B209 or 211 from my understanding)... So this may also affect which TWRP version I should use. not sure.

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
1 yes

2 it does not matter both will Work for this.

3 to downgrade: flash the 4 b112 files, do dload 112, then incremental update b209/211 or ota to 211

Then TWRP 6.0 auf install kangvip

having some issues rooting with BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip in the OP...

Here are the steps I have taken...

returned to stock B112 by flashing IMG files then DLOAD from sdcard.

updated OTA to B211.

flashed TWRP 6.0

TWRP installed BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip

Booting up the phone and it appears to be stuck on the Honor screen. Did I miss something?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Boot might take 30 minutes if you had installed one on AJ's ROMs as "dirty flash" to keep the alredy installed apps. Otherwise as clean install on a freh systems it would take about 5 Minutes to start.

If you just want to install supersu, you will have to select the newes version an do a command in TWRP. See link in the next post.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
If you still have the problem and don't plan to install one of AJ's roms, you will have to perform the "systemless root" method

http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/general/android-6-0-emui-4-0-mediapad-x2-t3291635

This is not mandatory if you install AJ's 6.0 ROM on TWRP. It includes the systemless root.

lost bootloader unlock code

How to I get bootloader unlock code again if it has been lost?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Just repeat the process. The dc Unlocker software will not cash you again. But why do you need the code again?

Did you purchase the Locking licence, too?

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] swregal:
I bought a used unlocked Mediapad X2 & previous owner has lost the unlock code.

I want to make sure I have it in event of any problems flashing down the line.

On my Mate 7 & 8 the bootloader relocked and had to be unlocked again when I flashed stock firmware.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Never heard this happening on the X2. Only if it had been in service at Huawei. In worst case it is relocked,and shows unlocked. Then flashing not work. Simply unlock via cost 4 EUR.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I guess we can install TWRP on the recovery2 partition

So no more swapping TWRP and Huawei recovery necessary.

To start TWRP Connect USB and press Vol up and power.

So normal recovery for Factory reset or Firmware Update resides in the first recovery partition.

I got this from here:

Do I need to downgrade to 5.0 or 5.1 in order to unlock BL, root and install TWRP?(by your listed steps)

Thank you so much.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
No, this is independent.

Simply install TWRP for 6.0

Then do a systemless root (search this forum for the command) and install Supersu

Or simply Aj's International 201

failed flashing recovery

Hi,

I have tried to google solution for my problem, I have tried different ways to solve it but no success. So maybe somebody will help me...

When I do:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

there is error msg: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

And yes - I have UNLOCKED bootloader. I double checked it with command: fastboot oem device-info

Also interesting is that Odin cannot see my device. NO COM port shows up.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:

Interesting is that I cannot check " fastboot oem device-info" now. Before one hour it worked and there was written UNLOCKED.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
This is a common "bug".

You must run the fastboot oem unlock xxxx command again, where xxxx is your bootloader code.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] J05EPH:
Thank you.

I dont have bootloader code. I bought device with unlocked bootloader.

I wanted re-unlock bootloader also, but DC-unlocker cannot see my device (COM ports are missing, I do not know why...)

So it seems there is only one option - to write to Huawei and ask them for the code.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Well this is the problem. Devices are sold with the message "unlocked", but in fact they are relocked to protect the devices. But the message "unlocked" remains.

I had the problem of missing comports also on the first trial. It was a win10 problem. I had success on a win7 PC.

Did you enable debugging and correctly open the service menu and set the "manufacture mode"?

Then the com port drive should install.

If you register to Huawei you may get the code in 2 weeks. With luck earlier.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] J05EPH:
Oh, thank you for explanation. I didn't know it.

Well, I found chinese version of unlock-bootloader form and it calculated unlock code for me

by return

So now I have unlocked bootloader and twrp instead of stock recovery :)

Hi,

finally I got an used GEM-701L for quite good price, but I don't know yet, if it was a wise decision, because this model does not get any official updates anymore?

Anyway, for updating I have to unlock the bootloader and root the tablet after that, correct?

This was the way I was trying to go, unfortunately I do not use Windows in my "normal" life.

I have one old Win XP-32 installation, but I was not able to install the drivers from Huawei, thus the dc-unlocker could not find the tablet.

Second try was with a not (yet) activated Win 7 Pro-64 installation. Same here driver install failed, but I was able to install the HiSuite which connected to the tablet correctly.

The instructions I used where these ones, I asume that they are correct:

https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code

https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-install-drivers-manually

But again, the dc-unlocker was unable to find a "Huawei phone", probably because Windows does not find any new USB- or modem-devices, where I could update the drivers with the Huawei ones.

Any hints or tips to get this done?

Thanks a lot,

kind regards,

thgxda

Hi,

ok, that was hard for an not-at-all Chinese-speaker, but it seemed to work!

I was able to create an account with Chromium and the automatic website-translator, I was even able to login with this account, be going on the unlock-page, always brought me back to the login page, no idea why :(

So I tried it with Firefox and had more success, unfortunately the website-translator is missing there, so I had to use translate.google.com. But finally I had success, now I still have to try the unlock code.

For all other not-at-all Chinese-speakers I attached some screenshots with the translated fields.

For the S/N and IMEI go to "Settings" -> "About Phone" -> "Status"

For the Product ID open the dialpad and enter *#*#1357946#*#*

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out here with my GEM-703L Currently on B212.

Made it through DC-Unlocker, got the bootloader unlocked, and then flashing TWRP is where I seem to get stuck. It flashes just fine, but when I boot to recovery by holding volume up and the power button, it boots into the EMUI recovery in Chinese. I've tried several different TWRP images, none work. I get no errors while flashing either. Anyone happen to resolve this or have any ideas?

I'm new at this. I have the Mediapad x2 GEM 703L with EMU 4.0 and Android 6.0. I was able to unlock the bootloader. This was clear to me using a guide I found here: https://www.gizdev.com/guide-to-unlock-bootloader-of-huawei-mediapad-x2/ I found that Huawei does not reqire the email letters. At the Huawei website you can get the unlock code immediately here and you don't have to wait or send an email: https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/detail

The problem I have is I need a detailed guide how to root. It's not clear to me without step by step instructions which I have not found them yet. Does anybody know where I might find step by step instructions to root (my bootloader is unlocked) on my GEM-703L with EMU 4.0 and Android 6.0? Previously I used tools like Kingroot on other phones but my Mediapad X2 GEM 703L is a little harder than I'm comfortable with --- without a guide. Any help is appreciated.

first step you have already taken - > install adb and fastboot oem unlock bootloadercode

download lastest supersu http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703 and put the zip file on SD Card.

install SuperSu app via Playstore

now download the TWRP for android 5.0 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4QkFzM2xOWVlvRkk/view

then type in adb window:

fastboot flash recovery2 TWRP-ENG-5.1.1.img

and press return key

then type

fastboot reboot

and press immediately the Vol + key until TWRP starts.

Then press install and select superzu.zip file you have downloaded.

Reboot into system and start downloaded supersu app via playstore.

Select new user and check pro version (it's free even if you havn't paied yet)

Pro version let's you enable access if you missed pressing "Allow"

I just installed the new Android 6.0 with OTA update on my Mediapad X2 (GEM-702L) that i got back short time ago from a repair in warranty, of course completely empty and with Android 5.0.1..

The ROM is GEM-702LC209B203.

I found no way to activate a Huawei ID on my phone. I even tried to transfer the Huawei ID app from my P7 but it doesn't allow me to setup a new ID.

I was ready to wait 14 days... but now i guess i will unlock the phone with DC-Unlock.

Should i use the TWRP recovery image for Android 5.5 using the link in the first page?

After that the version of Super SU linked there is still working?

I'm getting old... and it's quite a long time since i rooted my last phone. The amount of informations is incredible, and before getting lost probably it's better to post a simple request for help on this forum.

I hope to find a nice sould willing to give me a (hopefully simple) answer :)

Indeed you'll have to use DC-unclocker , or some equivalent if you want to be the first to try them:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=unlock.boot.huawei&hl=en

http://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-html

Then install a TWRP recovery for android 6:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4YWZOV29remJmZFU/view?usp=sharing (version 3.0-2)

or http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=1267823100&uk=1325802681 (version 3.0.2.6)

or https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4dUdYbi1fd1hrX3c/view?usp=sharing (version 2.8.7.0)

Then this super SU do work:

After unlocking the bootloader, and installing the tWRP image, IIRC the Super SU image can be installed either booting into recovery mode (from the SD card), or via ADB.

here is an audioralf post about systemless root that has to be used with android 6.0 :

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70329097&postcount=222

the supersu.zip file is installed by the "install" command of your TWRP recovery

1) copy the supersu.zip file into a the SD card or internal memery of your X2.

1) turn on the device in recovery mode (vol+ and power pressed). If you did install twrp recovery on recovery2 on your device, with ADB ("fastboot flash recovery2 recdovery.img"), rebooting to this recovery2 is the same vol+ and power start, but with device plugged in USB.

2) use the "install" button in twrp recovery, and follow instructions
[Huawei MediaPad X2] junkiecyber:
Dammit, every answer takes to a new question! :)

Why should i install the TWRP image on recovery2?

I didn't even knew recovery2 existed...

I thought the only option was to install the image from the ADB directory with the command "fastboot flash recovery TWRPimagefile.img"

BTW, i am abroad, and i have only a Windows XP virtual image on my MacBook.

Is there any problem if i use Fastboot/ADB for Mac?

Anybody out there did the same root process from Mac with success?

A side note. My old Huawei ID app didn't work because it was too old (it came from a P7). After i updated it from Google Play i could successfully login... but i still have too many days to reach the 14 days minimum. If DC-Unlocker works from my XP virtual image i guess i won't wait so long :)

Thanks again. Great forum!

cheers

Paolo
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
It is not mandatory to use recovery2, but an advantage. If you are in bootloader mode you are plugged USB and have flashed an image file, the next thing would be to boot into TWRP. For this normally you must unplug USB to start it.

This is not necessary, if you flash twrp on recovery2. Simply keep usb plugged in and type "fastboot reboot", press enter key and hold Vol up key while phone is booting.

The second advantage is to have the normal recovery still there where it belongs to. This is needed for dload and factory reset from EMUI. If you would install TWRP on recovery1 partition, you would alway restore the orginal recovery and after this re-install TWRP. So we only have advatages. The recovery2 partition is used by huawei to load factory imanges from a huawei server in China. This will not work, if you are outside china, so we loose nothing if we use that recovery2 :)

Have you tried the Huawei unlock site

https://emui.huawei.com/plugin/unlock/detail? If you select taiwan on registration for your country, you will get the the code immediatly.

Note that you need to call https://emui.huawei.com/plugin/unlock/detail

a second time again after successful entering the login.

Try this with your existing code first before registering a new one. Maybe that's enough.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] junkiecyber:
Arghh, i'm reading your very informative message only now.... when it's too late :)

I already thought that installing TWRP to "recovery2" would probably leave intact the original recovery partition, thus allowing to update the phone to a newer release downloaded via OTA.

I was not sure, though.

At least i already have a 6.0 version of the operative system. I think i will be fine with the current release for a long while. Mission accomplished :) :)

The trick to select Taiwan is very useful, i could have saved 4 euros...

Anyway, thanks to the infos i got here, i have successfully rooted my phone., and this is the only thing that really matters!

I used the 3.2.0.6 version of TWRP and after i rebooted into recovery mode i enabled "systemless", following the directions of the post linked by Dijban.

Then i installed Super SU from an SD card (the file is BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip).

Is it better to update it later on, with a stable version from Google Play or from an .apk file, or better don't fix what's not broken :) ?

The main reason to root the phone was Titanium Backup.

I didn't want to use the internal SD card, so i tried to use a 64GB one that is a bit too slow for my camera.

The card was already used to install Super SU, but Titanium reported that the card was not writable.

I formatted it with the phone, but to no avail.

I already had problem writing the .zip to it from my Windows virtual machine, so i reformatted it using OSX, using MBR and FAT. The i copied the file from my Mac and everything went fine.

What's the problem? Should i use ExtFAT?

It is so strange that a root-enabled file manager can write/delete on it, but Titanium can't.

I hope that my success with the GEM-702L and Android 6.0 will be used as a reference by Mediapad X2 owners who got back the phone from repair or updated their phone via OTA and the decided to root it.

Thanks to all of you

cheers
