Finally, my 702L is rooted. Oddly, all the more complicated rooting methods with images/etc failed on my device, while just using KingRoot did the job yday. I could have sworn I tried it before, but perhaps the many system versions I tried in between, and the many update.app installs had some effect too. In any case, it rooted fine in B015, B106, B109, B112 with KingRoot.

Meanwhile I saved a number of incremental updates (between the many flashes of all sets of 24 files of each version extracted).

Then I tried again to flash any of the TWRP recovery images I had, and voila, all of them worked (before having root with KingRoot, none of them worked), so I put/left/reflashed twrp511en onto it, and it works! Yeah!!

Then played in the B112 simple google via twrp, and am back to the world of sound and color.

Just the universal cust is not yet fully patched in, but that is anyway beyond unlocking, rooting (and the data recovery I really aimed for).

That data recovery turned out to be quite interesting, with testing a number of products out there for droid recovery, ding a full 32gb dump, and using carvin/forensic tools ;)

Yes, I did, as DC-Unlocker needs the manufacturer usb setting.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Great news, I'm glad you got it working.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] xdvsr:
As the universal cust thing did not work for me, I went to KangVIP, and there I finally have again my standard look and feel, no message or dialer popping up first and no medieval theme.

Removing the bloatware from KangVIP is actually really simple, as it is all easy with KingRoot.

Hy Guys thx 4 the great instructions..Root successful on my new X2 701 ;) using DC for reading the code - but cant unlock with this great tool :(. So i tried minimal_adb_fastboot using the unlock key from DC. Finally flashing the recovery, rebooting and installing super su 2.46. Restart and voila i got root...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes some devices can be directly unlocked via the software. Our device definitely needs the fastboot command by using the code which you get via DC unlocker

can anyone tell me how to get out of twrp boot loop. i have factory reset. wipe all data. did a recovery. but it keep booting into twrp. I was told that i need to type this code into twrp.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

i tried terminal command. but i dont have equal symbol on my keyboard.

so any help would be so good.

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

ok i found the equal symbol on my keyboard. but it keep telling me that I this file directory does not exists.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
If you wiped system and data, you musst install the Rom back.

In TWRP press Backup and restore your backup.

If you have no backup follow the guide How to install new Rom....
[Huawei MediaPad X2] karl1234:
hey. i have did all. that but what ever i do i keep going back to twrp. the only answer that i see on the internet is this code dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

but i can't get this to work
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I don't know where you got this advice from. All I found that this is a command for LG devices. In this case this command will not work on Huawei devices.

Please describe in detail what you did until you got this bootloop.

Maybe the device wants to complete a process (eg. firmware reset) where it needs the normal (orginal) recovery.img.

It boots into recovery and does not find the recovery, but the TWRP. The TWRP can not do de desired command.

If you replaced the original recovery with the TWRP, you must flash your old recovery back.

Then let the system do it's work.

After this you can install TWRP back and install the rom.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] SemaiCZE:
Hi, I have Huawei Mediapad M2 (mozart, 801L) from T-Mobile, which has slightly modified ROM (at least T-Mobile boot animation). I got bootloader unlock key from official Huawei website and made my bootloader unlocked. But if I try to boot recovery via fastboot, there is error "failed (remote: command not allowed)". I have tried your recovery for X2 and also try to make my own recovery from source code ... both without success. Have you any experience with this? And btw. can you make your source codes public (I'm mainly interested in building recovery)?

EDIT: after unlocking bootloader all my data stays untouched, no factory reset or so was performed (which is a little weird, factory reset should be done when unlocking bootloader).
[Huawei MediaPad X2] orochi_power:
okay now i got the bootloader code, now its telling me to download the ADB toolkit, so how do you install it? image on google drive

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Download the toolkit from here:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5I_q70mNuR4bWp5Wl9LOGdFQnc&usp=sharing

Extract the .zip to a folder. Then open up a command prompt to that folder by holding in shift and right clicking on the folder and choosing Open command windows here then type in fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxx where x is your bootloader code.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] kooops31:
HI everyone,

I've already described my problem on another thread however, I am asking for some help of an android guru to unbrick my gem702L.

A week ago now I had a kangvipB111 runing quite smoothly on it rooted with kingRoot. I did try to update to a kangvipB112 throug flashify and twrp5.0 ENG recovery. However after I reboot I has a bootloop but was still able to access the recovery through Power/Vol combination. Then I did the most silly choice of this month (trust me I feel like a premier league top player here) I tried to install another version of the recovery through twrp The version meant to be for android 5.1 thinking that might get rid off the bootloop.

Obviously it didn't work out this way as now I'm left with my truly beloved Mediapad in a permanent bootloop or the best I could do is access it with a usb plug to it on the fast and rescue boootloader mode BUT with no possibilities of using the fastboot command. Whenever I do a fastboot oem getboot info it reply for a 'unlocked' status. I purchased CR for dc-unlocker thinking I might be able to relock it or at least perform a 'read bootloader code' to try again the unlock procedure. But dc-unlocker read it also has unlock and won't give me access to this function.

I must say I purchased this phone through Ebay with a serious seller (no dodgy sources/unmention fault from the guy) but I don't have the unlocking code that has been use the first time with this phone.

the second option I could use is a kind of light version of the huawei eRecovery which constantly failed at getting package source. i can't find ways if there is any of using this recovery.

I'm wondering if anyone could provid another option either to relock it/unlock it or point to something that might give to this phone a second chance.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Post screencopies of the steps you are going thru dc-unlocker. It should tell you the bootloader code. This is NOT the unlock code.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kooops31:
I add as attachement the screenshots of dc unlocker and the fastboot cmd windows.

I can't find the 'bootloader' code you are mentioning:confused:

Is it a different version of dc unlock that I should use?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Hmm, did you try debug on, and debug off?

I'm busy today [emoji5]

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Have you set your phone in manufacturer mode?

The screen says, you are in fastboot mode.

I'm not sure about the message. I'm not yet at home like you see.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kooops31:
No worries enjoy your gig!

Yep I already tried debug on/off

Because I could only boot in fastboot and rescue mode I can't dial the number for the manufacturer mode...within a normal boot system.

I'm really deseperate about this one. Is there any option of flashing throug a jtag or something like that to save it?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I tried it again and dc-unlocker gave me my code again. So it's possible.

You must be able to start Android. It's not possible without a running system.

If your system does not start, just put your stock update.app from the last used version to dload folder (if you have a external SD-Card reader on your PC)

Disconnect USB

and press all keys to flash the stock firmware.

If dload does not start, try to flash the recovery.img from 5.11 B112

Try the update.app from B112 fist.

If it fails on more than 90 % then check, if system starts nevertheless.

If not repeat it up to 3 times until system starts.

Remove USB cable for the "dload" process.

If the system starts

Enable debug.

launch dialer application as if you want to call someone.

tap *#*#2846579#*#* (after the last * the "Project Menue" appars"

, select "Background settings",

"USB ports settings",

"Manufacture mode".

Then connect X2 to PC

Start DC-Unlocker

Select Huawei-phones (not modems)

press icon to detect phone.

The model will be detected as "Huawei "HiSicon Kirin Android"

Port is Port 4

If you have bought coins, you can log in on the right side with userid and password .

Then press "unlocking" and

Press "Read bootloade code" (not Read unlock codes")

I tried it twice and even with the newerst DC- ulocker version.

It proms "Reading bootloader code .... ; 4422002001..... (my code)

Then don't forget to switch back to "Google Mode" and Back key to close this app.

Then boot into bootloader mode and use the adb command to unlock your phone.

Then install TWRP_ENG.img for 5.0 (not the chinese one.) The link is in our forum.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
Inaccessible Bootloader Mode - Help me please

Hello

I received my X2 pleased last week.

One of the first things I tried to do is root.

I first got my code to unlock the bootloader via the site "DC Unlocker".

Then I tried to access the necessary commands.

Power and vol- simultaneously. I got once the correct screen. Just once. After many tests. I did not go beyond that, I had not retrieved the correct file "Official-Unlock-Bootloader-by-Alkalinorap-v." So I restarted the X2 and press power button a few seconds.

Since it is absolutely impossible for me to return to the interface through the combination of two buttons. I restarted my X2 at least 30 times but in vain. The two buttons at the same time, and such restarts in normal mode. Normally connected to the PC, the drivers installed etc.

I need help. I can not move and thus not my rooter X2.

I think my drivers are good, for exemple it's ok to change the DPI of my X2 (it's impossible to use Swiftkey under 400 dpi! :()

Forgive my English very perfectible, I'm French;)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Make sure you plug the phone into your computer before you hit vol down & power or it won't boot into the bootloader.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
It's ok for that of course.

But not :(
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Did you return from manufacturer mode to Google mode? If not, then

call the menu again where you had set manufacturer mode

and switch back to Google mode

To root:

Turn off the phone.

Connect USB

Hold power and vol - key and release power if screen lights up.

Release vol- key if you see the fastboot (bootloader) screen.

Don't use 'Official-Unlock-Bootloader-by-Alkalinorap-v'

Open a cmd window on your adb directory.

Type fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Where xxx... is your bootloader code which you got via usage of dc-unlocker.

Flash TWRP-eng.img and install superuser, if you just want to root.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] H.Hussein.H:
Can't find the many tutorials you mentioned ... different phones and many methods ..
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
Ok, i've returned to Google mode.

Turn off the X2 ok

Connect USB ok

Power and Vol- in the same time,

And no fastboot screen :(

I started again several times, with 2 possible modes. And nothing.

I wanted to put the 400 dpi (SwiftKey is not usable below, alas). On the Jpeg seal, we see the first attempt failed because I was back in google mode. I returned to Manufacturer Mode( Attachment).
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
USB "Manufacture mode" is only for getting the bootloader code. For normal adb usage it has to be set to Hisuite mode

Have you installed the adb drivers?

Have you installed Huawei Hisuite?

Does the PC detect the phone nomal as USB drive on connection.

Do you connect the phone to PC withot USB Hub?

If all answers are yes turn the phone off and connect USB

hold POWER and Vol- key and keep holding until Fastboot&Rescue mode starts.

Then you can submit fastboot commands. NOT ADB COMMANDS.

For ADB commands: normal start your system

connect to usb and enable usb debugging.

or install TWRP recovery and boot into twrp

To boot phone in recovery mode do this with holding Power and Vol+

To change dpi, you will have to edit the build.prop with a build.prop editor.

On Android 6 you have a DPI selector and you can change dpi in xposed module "app settings" for each app.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Install Hisuite to have the drivers.

Enabele USB debugging on Android. and connect the Phone to PC

Start the phone while holding power and volume - (minus Key)

Install "minimal adb" on your windows PC and copy the files which you want to flash into that directory

Open a cmd window in the adb directory and type the fastboot commands for example fastboot flash recovery TWRP_ENG.IMG.

fastboot is the exe file which is in that adb dirctory. A executable PC Program.

flash is the command what the adb program should do

recovery is the name of the partition on your android devices where to flash something

TWRP_ENG.IMG is the example of the file on your PC in adb directory (you must copy it there manually after downloding)

Then press return key.

Adb will send then the twrp_eng.img to the androd device.

The fastboot mode is a program wich receives the file and installs it on the "recovery" partion.

During this the "stock recovery" from Huawei will be overwritten via the TWRP recovery program.

This is the reason why we have to reinstall the stock recovery in some situation later to use the "dload" method.

The fist start of TWRP enables the phone to be "rooted". This must be completed via the "supersu" applicaiton, which can be installed via TWRP.

If you install AJs Roms the"supersu" will automatically be installed, so no need to do this manually.

Go to my guide "How to install Rom..." to get the steps for converting your phone to 703 and installing all the updates until B212
[Huawei MediaPad X2] H.Hussein.H:
Thank you very much .. I rooted my device .. then I zipped the "CUST" file .. uploaded to ajsmsg78

Because im B001 and the tutorial for the B003 or higher ...

He told me to that my CUST was integrated with the universal cust already ..

I will wait another week to see if there any official update for the 701L or not if not I will go ahead convert to 703L

Thank you very much ..
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
Thank you very much for your help! :good:

In summary here is what my problems were: leave it as plug before turning it off. It remains Hisuite mode and not in Google Mode.

Secondly, we must leave vol- pressed after releasing the Power button. And then I finally managed to return to the mode fastboot!

ok unlocked.

Recovery (with the thread) ok.

Now the root...

Flash is ok!!

Tks to the TWRP

EDIT :

I thought I had succeeded flashing

But my X2 don't reboot ...

I installed the zip from the external SD card

It gets stuck on the "Honor" screen on the black background. :crying:

I can only restart TWRP

What should I do?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
First boot on a dirty flash without loosing data requires rebuild of dalvic. On my device this takes 20 minutes.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
Now it's too late to have a clean boot??

Can you explain to me "rebuild of dalvic" please?

After reading your message, I started the X2. It's been almost 30 minutes, and still stuck on the screen.

What should I do, please? (loosing data is not a problem, i use it only for a week)

I envy those too comfortable with all these manipulations ...

I rooted many smartphones, but this is the first time I have a lot of problems...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
If you start TWRP and select Advanced wipe and wipe the dalvic cache, Android has to build the dalvic cache file for each app again. I'm almost sure that installing supersu the fist time will also wipe this cache.

Simply select factory reset in TWRP. This will wipe cache, dalvic and userdata. Then the fresh system will start.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
I tried that, but without certainty. And it's a failure.

I do not know the contents of the recovery.

I need a complete path. I do not know the Recovery menu. Is it necessary for example to be connected to the PC? Is it necessary with the external SD inside or not, knowing that I did the root from the SD? etc.

thank you for your help

You need to go to do a data format and type in yes. It will format your internal storage and data but then you'll be able to flash roms correctly. Make sure you have your internal storage backed up if you have anything important of yours in it.

You need to reflash your System.

Put update.app of b112 in dload of exteral sd

Flash b112 recovery.img

Remove USB cable

Turn Off the device

Press all 3 keys to start dload

After fist start call factory reset including Format sd from EMUI

install TWRP and universal cust.

Then about phone info should be ok.

Copy update.zip of b209 or 211 to dload. (Don't unzip)

Install recovery.img from b112

Start system and select local update and incremental update.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
What is "universal cust" please??

EDIT :

I do not read Chinese, but it looks like an error message.

I put a folder in the root of the SD card named dload, with update.app in it. Extract here: http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/general/mediapad-x2-firmware-702l-703l-t3168925 (GEM 5.1.1 B112 703L)

Installation starts at 0% and immediately appears the "!" in place.

The only choise is to reboot. (I tried with an other SD card, formated, and it's the same thing.)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Seek forum for cust explanation. There is a thread about the cust.

It patches the hardwareinfo, so that the dload is tricked to install a 703 software on a 701 our 702 model.

Did you unplug USB before start dload?

Did you flash the 112 recovery?

It should show ' software installing' and run almost to about 95%

Repeat this if fails on lower %

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
Unplug yes, as you said it.

And recovery 112 ok so.

I restart and restart...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
I started over fifteen times.

Same result each time.

Can I have to use the B112 Version ?? Another possible release?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
NO NO you are flashing the TWRP on the recovery partition.

You must flash the HUAWEI recovery.img from version B112

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It's a bit curious that we are using the word "recovery" for different things

- recovery modus: when you boot the phone while vol+

- recovery partition: this is a partition inside android where special programm run and which has much rights.

- recovery programs: This is by default the recovery.img from Huawei, which we have in serveral version, for each version one.

This program does the dload (firmware upgrade, and the factory reset from EMUI)

This program runs in the recovery partition when you start the phone in recovery modus.

Then we have the program "TWRP", which is an universal program for the recovery partition,

it can root your phone and manage parameters communicate with the PC and install programs on other partitions like "system" and "userdata".
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
Thank you for your explanations.

This is done, as I have shown in this picture attached.

But what can i do now? Why did I receive this error message?

I have good TWRP (B112, TWRP-ENG-5.1.1.img), the UPDATE.APP file in the dload folder at the root of the micro SD.
