This is the version that I downloaded and tried which did not work. It could not reboot into this recovery at all.

I had to re-flash back the twrp prior to this 5.1.1 in order to be able to reboot into custom recovery but was unable to install the 703L ROMs.

So I'm wondering how did "eenap" manage to make this 5.1.1. custom twrp work on his 702L ?

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

After I re-read your statement above, your ".... not start a recovery..." means you could not reboot into this 5.1.1 twrp correct ?

Has anyone on 702L managed to reboot with this 5.1.1 twrp recovery after flashing it ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
5.1.1 TWRP on 702L

so after install and restart, did you manage to go into recovery mode using this 5.1.1 TWRP on your 702L ?

I Install 5.1 twrp recovery and KangVIP EMUI3.0.5 B015

http://xdaforums.com/huawei-mediapad/development/how-to-install-kangvip-emui3-0-5-b015-t3180513
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Ok the above forum is not using the September dated 5.1.1 KangVIP TWRP. It's the previous version which is the same one working on my 702L.

That means your TWRP is not the one I'm referring to, the one that KangVip said needed to be used to flash his B106 customer ROM meant for 703L
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
I did exactly what you said, for couple of times, each time I rebooted to recovery my Recovery was changed to as the pictures show: (Download New Version And Recovery).

Can you explain what's that, and is it safe to touch it??.

I'm still not rooted BTW.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Make sure the phone isn't plugged into anything when you try and go into TWRP. Volume up and power should get you in.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] doner03:
I have my bootloader unlocked and flash the TWRP , but I can find the English themed TWRP file in this link , there are many folders and files. I supposed to have the TWRP in chinese.

Which one is exactly the file I must download to set the TWRP in English ?

May it be the file flashify.zip?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
At the top right of the page, all the way to the right is a download arrow pointing down. Hit that and it will download the zip.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] doner03:
OK, thanks I did not see it. I will try to come into TWRP English versión.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:
Hi . Is this KanVip 5.1.1 twrp recovery looks like in the pictures they showed hagba ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] doner03:
Yes, it is
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:
Thanks doner03 . But as this recovery to install another rom? There are only three functions - reboot , download and shutdown. I'm sorry that this might stupid questions, but I can not deal with it. I'm on KangVip 015 and I can not go to another rom.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Sounds like you still having the stock recovery, not the 5.1.1 TWRP

Did you flash the 5.1.1 TWRP ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:
It seems that I was able to install this twrp by fastboot . Unfortunately, a disconnected cable can not enter this recovery. Phone looped back after starting.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
TWRP 5.1.1 only works B106 onwards from my experience. Even the author advice as such. You are on B015 I believe ? Than you cannot use this 5.1.1 TWRP unless you are on B106
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:
I'm on KangVip 015. When I tried to install twrp 5.1.1 by fastboot showed that the operation was successful, but I can not go into recovery. If this twrp does not work on this version rom at what recovery I can install rom B106 rooted with gaps?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
This is a bit of chicken and egg situation.

The 5.1.1. twrp works properly when you have B106 ROM on your X2. Since you're at B015, it won't work with it even with successful fastboot flash.

You may try this :

1) flash the 4 IMG (SYSTEM, BOOT, RECOVERY, CUST) extracted from B106 sotck ROM and reboot

2) do a factory data reset in stock B106 and reboot

3) go into bootloader mode and flash this 5.1.1 twrp_cn

4) reboot into custom recovery and install the B106 root with gapps
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:
I did everything according to your instructions , flash went without a problem, but after restart is loop.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Ok looks like you may need to follow the method outlined by "eenap" at

http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/general/how-to-flash-rom-x2-gem-703l-gem-702l-t3228915

1) Flash the 4 IMGs from stock B015 instead and reboot

2) After reboot up on B015 stock ROM, copy the /dload folder containing UPDATE.APP from B106 sotck ROM unzip into the root/top of your X2's internal SD card

3) Use the EMUI Update app to do a local upgrade to B106

4) After successful B106 stock ROM upgrade, go into bootloader and flash the twrp 5.1.1 and proceed from there.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:
Thanks kpcheang2 , I'll try this.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:
kpcheang2 you're great. I did everything according to your instructions and I've got rom B106 with gapps. This system is running much more smoothly. At first I had trouble with google play, but managed to run it. I have only one small problem, the app downloaded from the internet do not want to run. It says that can not open this file. By HiSuite and Google Play can install normally. Is it any advice on this? Thanks again for your help.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Are you trying to install an APK downloaded from the internet ? In that case check your X2 SETTINGS--->SECURITY.

Make sure UNKNOWN SOURCES is enabled to allow you to install external APKs.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:
UNKNOWN SOURCES is enabled
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
What kind of file you are trying to install ?

Did you try other apps ? Maybe the one downloaded is corrupted or invalid ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:
I wanted to install mail program and SwiftKey and a few others, and I could not run any .Through HiSuite could be no problem.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Very strange problem.

Did you have a previous error installing other apps before that ? Sometimes the remnants of previous failed app could prevent ne installation I know it sounds weird.

Not sure if these will give you a clue:

You're right. I tested a little different applications and in fact some of them work and some do not. It is interesting that almost all can be installed by HiSuite
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
I never had this issue on my stock B106, with custom 5.1.1. twrp, rooted with SuperSU and I used Titatium to remove all the bloatware hence achieving almost the same effect of your custom lite ROM with gapps.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Usually when the App isn't designed for Android 5.0 you will get a parsing error when you try and install the apk.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jaxs71:

[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
Yesterday I received my GEM703L B109 and of course started from unlocking and rooting. I spent 4 euro for unlock code and next tried to fastboot TWRP from OP but without success... Fastbooting went right but after rebooting and starting with Vol+ & Power I got something which is probably stock recovery - Circle with "EMUI" and only 3 possibilities below" Reboot, Factory restart & Cache cleaning. What is wrong? Is this version of recovery right for B109?

Edit\\

OK, solved... I was flashing RECOVERY_HW.img instead twrp_cn.img. BTW for what is RECOVERY_HW.img?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Yes you should flash twrp_cn.img

Recovery_HW is stock recovery image from the earlier ROM version prior to B106.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
The recovery_hw.img is the stock recovery. It's included just in case you want to go back to stock.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] TristeFigura:
Is it just me, or the "Swipe right to unlock" doesn´t work?

(TWRP English theme, after the screen goes off due to inactivity)

I have to long press Power button to get out and restart...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
It is working actually......just that the exact spot to do the swipe is not obvious.

You need to swipe slowly the full width of the display from left to right somewhere slightly below the words "swipe right to unlock".

Try a few times slowly from left to right near the words or slightly below and you'll get it ;)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
It works. If you want to see the actual slider, in TWRP there is a Theme Settings icon and you have to check Use Alternate Lockscreen. Then it will change it to the way you like it. You can even change it so the screen doesn't shut off so you don't have to unlock it. Here are a bunch of themes for twrp. You can also change the splash screen.

https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/z31s1g/1080/
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
UPDATE: 12/3/15. I decompiled TWRP and changed everything over to English and designed a new Splash Screen. Flash this in fastboot like you would normally flash a recovery. You can still flash the other themes if you want but they are no longer necessary. Enjoy!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
I will flash now
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
Will try this tomorrow.

A question though, I've installed the TWRP and rooted it yesterday, I've installed GMD Gesture Control application, I've tested it on sdcard and also on the internal memory but in both cases the application is killing itself within few minutes, it starts functioning back only when I reopen the application once again,any ideas what's wrong with it?.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Go into phone manager and into settings at the top right then into shortcuts and check the Dropzone Management shortcut. That will make a shortcut on your home screen to Dropzone management. Open it and choose GMD. I just select everything in there. Also, starting in B109 if you go into recent apps and close all with a swipe up from the bottom of the screen it closes everything including GMD. Don't use the close all function, close the apps individually. Also in regular settings in Protected Apps make sure GMD is enabled in there as well.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
Ok will try..

[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:

what I did was I've switched from optimized to performance option in the settings> power saving.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
OK great. I like your signature btw. If I listed all the phones I've owned it would be a pretty long one lol
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
Hahaha..fortunately it's not the entire list of phones that I've owned, there were so many of them, Nokias, Motorolas HTCs..etc, but just those which were dear to my heart and also a crossroad to the smartphone industry.

However the one that started the big screen trend and which I still keep it somewhere in one of my drawers is HTC HD2, WM phone, my first ever true love, besides my wife???.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
My first smartphone was a UTStarcom XV6800 (Verizon Wireless.) Windows Mobile 4 I think was out at the time and it really sucked. It was the first time I ever figured out how to flash a custom ROM (well it was a modified debloated stock ROM) Before that the web browser was basically unusable for anyting other than basic web searches and the phone was EXTREMELY slow. After the ROM i was able to do so much more, even change the statusbar icons. Ahh, the good ol' days. I think these were all my smartphones that I've owned over the years. I may have left a few out.

Ah.not necessarily good but old days??,I also remember my first smartphone the famous but unreliable I-mate?.

Now back to serious business?:

The new TWRP with new English interface that you have posted, if I ever have to flash it ,am i to loose root ? And reinstall the supersu again?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
No, just flash and you're done. Reflashing TWRP or the stock recovery will not cause you to lose root. I got tired of the themes causing TWRP to be slow (like the unlock screen) so I figured I'd change the original one to English. I prefer the stock theme over the Materialized ones.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
ok thanks, so I will follow the same procedures with the ADB?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
If you use ADB then yes.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Go into bootloader and do "fastboot flash recovery twrp_end.IMG" or whatever file name of that English twrp you renamed to. Then reboot

HI guys, i managed to get twrp installed, but now when i try to use dload method to update (updater --> local --> update.app --> restarts), it restarts and jumps to TWRP and does not update.

How can i get around that?

Thanks,
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
As far as I know you can't use dload method with TWRP, you should flash the stock recovery first.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Hagba is correct. You have to have the stock recovery installed before doing any dload or ota updates. Flash back the stock recovery.img then do the dload, then you can flash twrp again after it's finished.

Thanks,
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Are you executing the fast boot command in the same folder where the tarp IMG file is located ? Next could be typo in the file name of the tarp IMG file you're typing. To avoid this I usually rename the tarp IMG to a shorter file name to ensure no issue.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Ackms421:
I have the img in the same folder as fastboot and adb. I double click on the fastboot and adb icon to open the command prompt window, and yes twrp file is in the same folder. There is no typo in the filename . I'm on windows 10 if that helps.

unlock bootloader again with the code you got from Huawei or DC-Unlocker.

If you got the phone from vendor with the message "unlocked" you have to know that this is not true, because you get this message.

We have seen many devices with "unlocked" but weren't unlocked.

What is interresting - TWRP 3.2.0 makes proprer nandroid backup of all partitions except Data, although Data could be backuped separately without problems. Only if you try to make copy of all partitions at once - then there is mentioned problem
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Have a look at /tmp/recovery.log while in recovery. Look in it for the last file that it tried to read before it gave the error. Your can try deleting that file, however, the file is corrupt in some way and the backup will never finish.

Restoring an older nandroid fixes this because it deletes the existing files and writes your nandroid back over them.

The only thing is that Google maps can not awake GPS, if its' off. But if you turn it on with other app. I don't think this is a firmware issue. The GPS problem we had on 6.0 was that GPS sometimes could not wake up until reboot.

My X2 got the Kirin CPU and is running the EMUI4 with Android 6.0.

After flashing both 2 versions of the TWRP provided by you and trying to boot into the recovery mode, it keeps showing the Chinese EMUI recovery. Please help. :(
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
I assume so till now you are familiar with fastboot flashing.

Please now install by fastboot TWRP for Android 6 on recovery2 partition using command:

fastboot flash recovery2 name_of_your_recovery.img

Then boot boot into recovery2 while USB is connected and VOL up is pressed.

Using erecovery (recovery2 partition) let's you have stock recovery on recovery partition while still have advantages od custom recovery on recovery2 partiton. There is though one discomfort: to get into custom recovery you HAVE TO be connected by USB cable with computer. Or you can use one of several tools to reboot directly to erecovery from home screen. You can use ADB command too.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ben63vw:
I've installed this latest version to recovery2 and it looks/works great with the advantage of keeping stock recovery. With the normal reboot menu selecting Recovery will boot to stock recovery as well as the button combo during boot. As trurl3 said some tools/apps allow you to choose which recovery to boot into. I have Apps2SD installed (free version) and it has a reboot menu that you can pick Recovery (stock) or eRecovery (TWRP) to reboot to without the need to have phone plugged into a pc. Very handy for on the go use of TWRP.
