Did it tell you that you had insufficient space when you tried to restore? Try a fastboot format system and userdata, then reflash those img files. You may have to fastboot flash your stock 702L ROM and do a wipe, then upgrade to b106 again for it to show the correct free space again.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
I have a smaller 3GB backup of my rooted B106. Copied it into the INTERNAL SD and tried restoring it from twrp. Towards the end, it had error restoring - after rebooting still at 3GB.

Let me try ......

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

Update

======

Very strange bug indeed.........

While I was still on B106 stock with the reduced internal SD, on a hunch I did the OTA upgrade which it kept prompting me.

It downloaded a 106MB file "B106_B109" and strangely the upgrade completed successfully whilst earlier when I tried the dload method it couldn't !

Rebooted the B109 still reporting wrong internal SD size of 3GB. Tried the Settings-->Reset.

This time after reboot the internal SD is back to normal 24GB (not 32 GB my typo earlier) !

Ok next I will try flash the custom recovery and restore my previous B106 full backup. Keeping my fingers crossed.

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

Forgot to mention why I wish to go back to B106 because my successfully upgraded B109 resolution is worse and each row only 4 icons instead of previous 5.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
If you flash KangVIP B109 you will have the option to pick how many rows and columns of icons you have and even change the size of the icons. I use Nova Launcher and it's awesome.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Really ? Wow then I should have tried flashing KangVIP B109 hehehe.....

I managed to restore back my B106 backup via twrp and everything back to normal except a strange minor cosmetic issue.......the SIM 1 & 2 somehow got "swtiched".

Previously my SIM2 is the designated 3/4G SIM and SIM1 was empty.

Now after restore strangely, my SIM2 was displayed as SIM1 and empty SIM2 as SIM1 - but no harm just cosmetic. Otherwise working normally.

Another side-issue which is not a big deal is the SIM1 got stuck with 3/4G (last time it was on my SIM2). So I just have to switch use adapter from nano to micro SIM.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Aside from being able to switch icon size and row x column any other benefits of KangVIP B109 ? Any down side ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
Unfortunately a number of chinese bloatware if you can name it 'benefit' :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
If these bloatware can be removed then I will try this custom ROM later.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I removed it all. Make sure you go into System/Framework and remove the SystemSta.apk file in there as well. That's the last of the Chinese apps.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
I made two attempts to Kangvip but I am still on stock B109. Probably I will try 3rd time. First time I had problems with DPI settings - I set 320 and after reboot all was so incredibly small so can't operate. Went back to stock B109. Second time have problems with unfamiliar settings and as result all google services stops working... :). After all I am more thaN little annoyed by all this chinese bloatware.. Probably will make third try maybe doing backup after every successful setting :). Could you be so kind and advise how to debloat all unneeded chinese trash?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Set the DPI to 400 before you install KangVIP. You need to go into system/app and system/priv-app and remove the Chinese bloatware from in there. You kinda have to figure out which is the bloatware but after doing it so many times it becomes easy. Here's what I have left in system/app and priv-app after I debloated. The first three is system/app and the last two are system/priv-app. I use Root Explorer.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
How to remove this SystemSta.apk from the B109_KangVIP.zip ? Do I have to change anything on the updater-script ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
After u install the ROM boot it up then delete it from system /framework
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
When I previously flashed stock B106, the Google Playstore comes with it pre-installed.

But this time for stock B109 I noticed it's missing ? Is this correct ? Similarly for KangVIP_B109 ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yeah. The best option is to install it from the Chinese App Store while on stock B109 then flash KangVIP. Just search for Google, install the Play Store, than search for Google Contacts and scroll down a little bit until you see the blue google contacts sync icon and install that. It looks like the icon in the photo below.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] TimeTurn:
Thanks, unfortunately there is no 5.1.1 for the 701L. I returned the phone to the dealer for refund, had enough of this Huawei **** getting no updates and forcing 400 dpi due to a bad configured system. I'll stay at my Xperia Z Ultra as long as there is no CyanogenMod or other usable Non-EMUI-ROM.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
It's funny, but I can not delete bloatware folders from /system/app or /system/priv-app although I am rooted. I tried Root Explorer, X-Plore, Total Commander... All files from such folders gone, but folders themsef did not want to be deleted. In fact it should be enough, but something is not right, I'm afraid.

Edit//

Anyway the bloatware apps are deleted. I made myself list of unneeded apps comparing your screens to list of actual files in my phone. I have saved some system apps of what you deleted, but what I throw out was good half of all system apps. In priv-app I deleted all what you suggest. Only problem left are some chinese signs on Lockscreen and in weather-time widget, because I can not set my home city although I'm living in capital of my country :).

Isn't it possible to do such shaving before installing onto phone? Is there way to safe editing of .img files?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Change the covers. Swipe up from the bottom on the lockscreen and go to Covers. Then pick a cover from your gallery. Also change the theme in Themes to brightness. If you're on KangVIP go into Settings------>Advanced------>Lockscreen and Desktop Settings and uncheck Lunar Calendar and Desktop Weather Lunar. That should get rid of the Chinese writing.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'd purchase a 703L. I had a Z Ultra before this and returned it due to the poor battery life and huge bezels. Also, the fact that it just stopped turning on after two weeks of ownership. The X2 blows it out of the water, even without LTE support in the U.S.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
Yes, it works, thank you.

And what about rest of my questions?

- Why can not delete folders from /system although deleting files from this folders was successful

- Is there any way to get rid all bloatware from KangVIP package before flashing?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Go into TWRP and flash SuperSU. Then try deleting those apps. You can also delete them through File Manager in TWRP although it's much more of a pain since you can't multi select. I tried extracting KangVIP and making a flashable zip so you can do a clean install of KangVip. It booted when I basically left it stock but had a few force closes. When I tried removing the bloat, system UI would crash and it will bootloop. I'm gonna give it another try tonight. I'm no developer but I can usually figure things out. When I can get my hands on a flashable stock B109 from Dospy I think it will work. Tonight in going to extract the System.img from stock B109 and see if I can make a flashable zip of it.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
All of the apps I removed in stock KangVIP are in the removed apps. Open the file up and delete anything inside you don't want to restore, then flash the zip in TWRP.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Added a poll in the OP. If you can, please vote.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Any reception performance or loss with this ROM ?

And I am assuming I can go from B112 (stock 703L, Unlocked Boot Loader, Rooted, and TWRP 5.1.1 installed) to B211, without issue?

Thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
No reception issues that i'm aware of. You have to go back to stock B112, then you can flash the B211 update through the dload method.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
I am on Stock B112, Brand new 703L, all I did was unlock the Bootloader, and root the phone (SU), TWRP, all so I could flash gapps. Do I need to Re-lock the Bootloader, remover TWRP, etc?

Thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
No it is not possible to relock the bootloader. Your can leave the TWRP for doing things like installing xposed or creating a Nandroid.

Only if you want to do a factory reset, our ota or dload update you need to flash recovery.img from b112

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
To Wait or Not To Wait, That is the Question.

Roger that, Thanks!

IYO, do you think one should wait for the "Official Huawei Android Update"? Or is this KangVIP Slim B211 6.0 on point, fully functional, and just as good?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
There are some minor bugs, but you can live with it. ScreenMirror to TV will not work and adb works from 211 on.

I don't know if they will update the audio driver to the 6.0 level. The existings works, but there is no USB Audio, which should work from 5.11 but Huawei did not care about it.

So if you can live with this feel free to upgrade to the beta B211. There is a thread for it. Go there and read the instructions.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Appreciate the feedback.......
[Huawei MediaPad X2] m42orion09:
I've been having some issues with my internal storage only showing as 4gb when I should have 16gb. On top of that, there's only about 200mb free. I've tried re-flashing the cust, the rom, and doing a factory reset including erasing internal storage in all sorts of orders. I have no idea what else to try, but it's getting seriously aggravating not being able to install new apps and constantly getting notifications about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
How did you upgrade from 5.0 to 5.11?

Did you skip reset on 5.0?

This will initiate:

Install universal cust 112

Fastboot files for B106. Boot userdata system recovery.

Dload B106,

do factory reset with format sd from EMUI menu.

Install universal cust 112 again

Then dload b112

Install universal cust 112 again

Then dload b209

Then flash TWRP 6.0 and install AJ's 211

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] waldbaerTV:
How long can the 1st boot take? My 703 was running on stock B112, so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP for Android 5.1.1, booted into TWRP, did a backup, did a full wipe and flashed KangVIP Slim B221.

Meanwhile I'm waiting for almost 30 min for my X2 leaving the "honor powered by android" screen.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Did you install the official beta update Version b209 first via dload?

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] waldbaerTV:
I'm afraid not. So the correct procedure, starting from official B112, would be flash official beta B209 via dload and than flash KangVIP B221 via TWRP?

If this is correct do I need the TWRP 6.0 version from http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/development/recovery-twrp-gem-703l-t3215815 for flashing B221?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] xunxun:
Might have the SD card error, I've seen several users complaining on the Huawei Club forum.

I have the same issue too.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You have to dload to B211 first before you can flash any of the 6.0 roms. First boot should take about three minutes.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
[MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] I guess it could be very helpful, if you would integrate this including the link to OP.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You'll never have to relock the bootloader even to do OTA updates. You can dload to B211 then flash KangVIP B211. You have to be on stock B211 (or B209) to flash this rom.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I did.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] herr.messerschmidt:
I have successfully upgraded my 701/703 to B211.

One strange behavior occurs: if I install Google keyboard to latest (5.x), it crashes constantly. I have to deinstall all updates in apps settings down to factory version 4.x This version is not recognized by play store. How can I update google keyboard? Any suggestions?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] herr.messerschmidt:
Suddenly my google account disappeared too. I read in the backlog that there is a link to "install xposed in B211". So I've started from scratch i.e. back to B209, factory reset etc. Now everything works as expected. Google keyboard also got an update through play store.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'm glad you got it working. Always make sure you factory reset after upgrading or downgrading through OTA or dload. It will save you problems later.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
The xposed version which is bundled in 212 causes such problems. That's why I'm back to 209.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] herr.messerschmidt:
Yes, that did the trick. Factory reset through TWRP is not enough. Lesson learned. ;)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'll look into that this weekend and possibly have a V2 of the rom. I sold my Mate 8 so I'll be able to focus on this more. I wish huawei would just release the final build of 6.0 sometime soon.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kooops31:
Hi there,

this my first post on xda forum even if I've been using custom rom for a while now but I'm a real NOOB. Please excuse my english.

I'm running out of solution for this one so I came for some help:

what I had till two days ago was A gem-702l rooted with kingroot with a kangvip B111. I had a twrp eng 5.0.

I wanted to try to install the B112 from the begining of this thread and then did some really bad choice from me. After a flash of the B112 zip within the recovery start a bootloop.

Rather to revert I tried to install from TWRP the upgraded recovery version for 5.1.

Now I'm left with a bootloop no mater wich combination of vol up down power switch I use however when I plug the phone on usb to windows ten, I could get either a partialy non working recovery from huawei. I tried to use their update but it failed through wifi connection and doesn't give me other option. Or I could boot in fastboot mode/rescue mode. However, even if fastboot could read the device I have the infamous "FAILED(command not allowed)".

I could read the bootloader is unlock in red on the screen and dc-unlocker detecte it as unlocked.

I miss this phone and any good advice will be appreciated ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
The reason is Kingroot

Even if it says unlocked in bootloader, it's not.

If you did not unlock the device yourself with the bootloader unlock code, you can not be sure that this message is correct.

Also check your adb version.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kooops31:
Thank you for the reply. I don't think it's kingroot related as I tried to use fastboot before to install it: i wanted to go with the supersu method and I couldn't access it. I'm not sure about this explanation however I'm still wondering why DC-unlocker would read it as unlock (I even purchased some CR as I wanted to unlock through their software).

About adb version I'm using 1.0.32

is there a better one/ which one should I use?

Could it be a driver related issue? If so which do you have/use.

Is there a way of getting the light version of huawei eRceovery working through the wifi?

:crying::crying:
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I have the same adb version.

In fact kagvip211 came with kingroot. I had removed it by installing kv b112 with supersu. Maybe kingroot puzzles up the rights, to do a regularly flash.

Repeat unlock. You can use the same key you once got.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kooops31:
Thank you Audioralf.

The thing is I purchased this Mediapad through Ebay. It was meant to be already unlock. That's why I purchased some CR at Dc-unlocker, thinking I would be able to apply the same procedure a second time.

However DC-unlocker read it as unlocked and won't let me choose other option.

If I do a fastboot oem get-bootinfo I could read it as unlocked.

Is there another way of Relocking it and start again the official DC-unlock?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
The function 'get Bootloader code' should be independent. I did that twice, and wondered why I was not chached up twice.

I read there is a nee function to unlock without fastboot and this may not run on unlocked device. But this is not what you need.

Look in the guide for the old way

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kooops31:
Sorry, I don't get it. What do you mean by the old way or 'get Bootloader code'?

Is it through by registering on the huawei website?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Have you read 'root and unlock Bootloader' thread? There are two traps! Post your problem an describe your steps in this thread.

But at least registering at Huawei is an alternative.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kooops31:
Ok thanks.

I'll have to figure out where those 'traps' are ;)

I'm reading the unlock and root thread again and again but can't find a solution right now has I can't get into a system to have the product numbre.

Anyway! Thanks again audioRalf for the advices.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Traps were: People pressed 'unlock', which is false,

Put the ROM on a 4Gb SD all by itself, then it worked. Had it on a 32Gb that was just about full.

Anyone ever have this issue?

I made a back up when I was on Stock B211, how can I restore it in this ROM, or can I?

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Can we go back to stock B211 from this rom?

Thx
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes I had issues with a slow sd. Maybe it is similar to a almost full sd.

If you start dload and and forget to flash the correct recovery, twrp will boot.

You can go back to stock via flash the 4 files and dload stock via pressing all keys on boot

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Yes, I believe it was a slow SD, the phone even tells me that the SIM is slow when it boots up.

When you say ,"You can go back to stock via flash the 4 files and dload stock via pressing all keys on boot" Do you mean I can go straight to B211 or will I need to go to B112 first? What 4 files are you speaking of? Thanks for the input!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
It depends on the version to currently are. Use that versions update.app and Huawei update extractor and extract boot, system, userdata and recovery (IMG. Files) and copy them to your adb folder. Then we flash them, start system and do factory reset from emui.

After this you must dload this version via Emui to install the other files. After this to can upgrade to the next version

For Downgrade you must flash the 4 files of the lower version.

Okay, thought I would take a break, and stay on KangVIP Slim for the day, so I flashed TRWP, no problem, rebooted phone (fastboot reboot), phone started, then put SYSTEMLESS Supersu.zip on internal storage, started TWRP Recovery, installed SYSTEMLESS Supersu.zip, cleared cache, restarted device and am stuck on honor splash screen AGAIN. any idea why?

UPDATE: Did a Factory reset and then it finally restarted again..... This phone is a PITA, Lol
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
This was not necessary. Kangvip Roms are already rooted

Returning to stock is only needed to get Ota updates or to do the dload for manual update

[Huawei MediaPad X2] dand751801:
Hello ajsmsg78,

after I successfully installed B109 on my GEM-702L, I ignored any new releases. My running xposed framework was for me much more important as new updates... "Never change a running system."

So, my device has a broken display and I bought a new one; a 702L again. And now the same old sh*t again...

I found this topic and you wrote the xposed framework is also running on the current B211 ROM. Do you mean a fully support incl. the ressource mode? I need the xprivacy module, so is it executable too?

Your given instructions are very (let me say) compact and over 80 pages with replies are not really giving a good overview...

Currently I updated to 703L-B015-KangVip. After trying to update to B106 or B109, I get a bootloop and I'm wondering why... But this is not the topic ;)

Can I directly install your package or are some updates required before I'm upgrading to B211?

Which xposed framework files and/or modules are required to use it?

Will be my phone declared as 702L with the truely hardware details after the update progress, like on your B109 build?

Are some other updates required, like a new TWRP version or something else?

And finally my most important question:

Do you recommend me the B109 or B211 for my new phone? What are the advantages and disadvantages for both builds? Or would you recommend me another build?

Many thanks in advance for your help and great support

Best wishes from Germany

Dan
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Why don't you update to the 702L B201 test rom that was released last week by Huawei then you can flash twrp then any of the B2xx roms including KangVIP v211. Yes xposed will always be included in KangVIP Slim.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dand751801:
Hey,

wow, much more easier as expected. :)

[Huawei MediaPad X2] dand751801:
Hello,

I'm impressed about the new ROMs but something is going wrong. I installed xposed and xPrivacy 3.6.19.

After a reboot I can access to the xprivacy settings. The activity log shows some entries. All well done? Not really!

In the status bar there is no xprivacy icon, I don't get notifications from xprivacy after update/install new apps, I don't get splash screens on new requested permissions and so on. IF xprivacy is working correctly, I have to define all permissions manually. That's not really handy.

I downgraded (dirty and clean way) to B209. That doesn't bring any changes.

Is anybody out there, who has experiences with ROM B209/B211, xposed and xprivacy? What could I do, to use xprivacy in the right way?

Many thanks in advance and best wishes

Dan

Edit:

I checked working of privacy with denial of root access for some root apps. It works well.

So the last thing to solve is the missing notification popup issue.

Edit:

Solved. In the app notification settings you can trust xprivacy and grant all permissions on androind-side. After a reboot, my desired popups are displayed. Nice :) (I'm currently on B209; I think I try an upgrade to B211 soon ;) )
[Huawei MediaPad X2] EddYTG:
I'm new for X2. But i got the way to KangVIP Slim B211 already.

This rom is great but i got one big problem. I found that some application that shound run any time and update itself everytime(like beautiful widget or another widget, Intennet speed meter, zdbox etc.) stop itself to running(sometime its close)

I do some research and use protected App(something that i think that this options is about to set the apps running even i tune of the screen). to accept all apps to run. but some apps still close when i turn off the screen.

What should ... should i go back to 5.1.1?

Anyway i really like KangVIP Slim B211 so much.

Thank you for hardwork

P.S. My device is GEM-702L and make the way to this one. Thank you.
