So if I go to Android 5 or Kangvip Mod ROM, I can still go back to B011 according to this guide, right?

(https://forum-frandroid-com.transla..._sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=fr&_x_tr_pto=wapp)

And Kangvip mod, I don't know if there are any tutorials to do it, because I don't know how to do it. If you can guide me, I would appreciate it
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
from kangvip mod no problem. From android 5, please do read the 2 complete xda threads about android 5 on X1, linked above

@Djiban

Thank you very much

Currently I have installed Android 5.1 version B110 (didn't upgrade to B113), I'm using it better than Android 4.4, no sudden exit in Play Store while installing apps, although it's not full, but now using fine. Thank you for guiding me, best regards
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
Please report about "<WARNING: those betas are known for non-working apps issues (youtube, facebook, instagram, various video apps...), sometimes non-working google services (sync, store, gapps), VPN issues, memory cards issue,"

Explain also why you did not upgrade to B113.

I might give a retry to this beta depending of your report

@Djiban

Oh I'm sorry, I haven't been on the forum for a long time

I did not install version B113 because I saw many users having errors when upgrading to version B113, and version B110 also met my needs.

As for the video apps, I'm using the NewPipe app instead of Youtube (it works great, no video lag (like 0.8x 0.9x speed) like in Youtube.

As for the application to watch the video stored in the device, I have not tried it, before I tried a .ts video file, but I couldn't play it (MX Player, Quick Pic...).

As for general tasks, the machine runs fine, there are some applications that run a bit slow (perhaps new applications are not very compatible).

In general, with the need to read newspapers, watch online videos, make calls, the device works well with Android 5
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
Thanos a lot for'the feedback. So you conclusion is staying a b110 ' using newpipe?

Do you remember what the problem faced with b113?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] HHuan:
I read about ROM B113 from this article (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-update-7d-503l-7d-501u-lollipop-5-1-1-emui-3-1 -c208b113.3275540/) and saw many people having errors so I decided not to upgrade len to B113.

In the current version of B110 I am using it very well, watching Youtube with the NewPipe application is very good

is there any other firmware for LL over fastboot command..?

wbr..
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
my advice:

0) do a factor reset and then try to install again

1) if 0 failed, then try to flash over your failing B011, the kangvip module (see my last post above), to see

2) if not worked, you should install older stock ROM, try on of these: https://www.needrom.com/category/huawei/mediapad-x1/

3) if 2 worked, try tu upgrade to B010/B011 again (use https://forum-frandroid-com.transla..._sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=fr&_x_tr_pto=wapp as source )

Explanation

Why reset is recommended after update :confused:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] thematrix777:
Greetings guys,

Somehow I managed to update my 7D-501L to this 7D-503L B110 ROM and then did factory resetting. The new android version runs adequately smooth on my device. However, I deliberately did "Local update" using the same "update.app" just to find out if re-flashing could make it run smoother.

And then came the problem. The update process did not run (stuck at 0% saying that This is SECUREBOOT phone and then it only kept blinking giving the same message all the time). I just turned it off and reboot normally.

I know that it means my bootloader is locked. I have tried many ways to have it unlocked, from simple fastboot oem unlock command to adding it with UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU (16x U), using dc-unlocker, using bootloader unlocker from 4pda, read here and there but to no avail. I never managed to get the unlock code.

My questions are as follows:

1. Is there recent method to unlock Huawei Mediapad X1 (esp. 7D-501L) bootloader that is successful?

2. This 5.1.1 is still in Beta phase. With my bootloader locked, am I going to be able to update it when another Beta phase or official finalized ROM arrives using normal SDcard upgrade? I fear I am not, from the above mentioned failure.

3. Someone here tried to downgrade to previous 4.4.2 ROM, say, the B011 (EMUI 3.0) version? What would be the proper method to do so? I read somewhere (could not remember) that downgrading is not possible without causing partition problem. Is this correct?

TIA.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] jonjong:
Do not worry, upgrading & downgrading shouldn't be a problem. I downgraded twice yesterday to B11 in order to root my device. My problem is once upgraded to 5.1, my X1 returned to unroot state which I'm still trying to root.:confused:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Alvinc:
I have successfully flashed the 5.1.1 on 501L device and find it improve much on the speed and smoothness of the interface. The battery life is similar as 4.4, if not better. One problem I find up to now is that the youtube is not stable during HD video playback. Video hang after 1 or 2 minutes of playback and can't recover with app restart, but until the OS restart. Anyone experience this problem? I hope they can fix it in their stable version.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MakOS:
Has the same problem on 501u. Try different version, but have the same bug.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] thematrix777:
Thanks jonjong. Managed to downgrade my X1 to B011. B110 is buggy for me (Play Store crashes repeatedly after I reboot the device). Reinstallation did not help cuz new Play Store install blocks further app installations and updates. Totally useless for me.

Yeah, I tried Kingroot, Kingoroot, Vroot(iroot) to no avail. Definitely a no-go for rooting.

Other bug is with MX Player Pro. Subtitles displayed too snappy and there was no workaround to resolve the issue.

There are some minor issues I can't exactly remember.

Pros: very good battery and memory management, no memory leaks, faster battery charging, beautiful overall looks.

Now I am more convenient with B011 and willing to wait for official 5.1.1 which should be bugs-free.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
Play store should not crash if u use the latest no dpi version. The file is attached in my OP.

There is no need to otherwise mess with other google files as the whole framework already exists in the rom.

No root is needed for this operation.

When u downgrade to B011, your bootloader will be re-unlocked. It is still unclear what causes the re-locking of bootloader in 5.1.1, it may be due to the re-flashing of 5.1.1 within 5.1.1 or doing a factory reset.

As long as the bootloader is unlocked, you can definitely root it with the file below (my guess is Kingroot will succeed too if the bootloader is unlocked).

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] thematrix777:
Hi potatohead, think I'd give it another try. Actually, I downloaded the exact same PlayStore 5.10.29 nodpi from APKMirror dedicated for updated GApps as attached by you to install on 5.1.1.

These were what I did during the upgrade process:

1. Reset old B011 ROM before installing B110 (I own 7D-501L ver of X1).

2. Installed B110 by fooling my X1 to think it was 7D-503L (I have dload.zip that contains product_flag folder or something inside which I used to do Local update). Succeeded.

3. Did another factory reset from recovery after install (clearing Data and Cache).

4. Installed PlayStore 5.10.29 nodpi, GoogleContact/CalendarSync apks.

5. Installed Chrome, Play Games, etc.

6. Updated Google Play services when asked (to ver 7.3).

7. Installed other apps.

8. Restarted my X1.

Then...

9. PlayStore crashed when accessed. Clearing data, cache of PS, manual Date and Time setting as suggested by Google didn't help.

10. Reinstalled PS (same version). Did not crash but PS failed to install any other apps and refused to update current apps (always displayed error msgs).

Glad to know you are not experiencing PS crashes. It is totally frustrating. I restarted from zero. Same thing happened again. Didn't know what went wrong.

Btw, could you help explain briefly what "google framework" here means and what benefits does it bring with regard to 5.1.1? Is it something to do with Play services? But why it asked me to update Play services? I suspect this had something to do with my PS getting crashed over and over. Sorry for my noobness in this regard.

I am not lucky to have my bootloader unlocked. When I returned to B011, bootloader says my device is locked, most fastboot commands blocked. Went a little crazy finding out ways to have it unlocked since yesterday.

In Huawei stock recovery 1.0, as I remember:

Column no.1 : reboot

Column no.2 : factory reset

Column no.3 : wipe cache

Column no4 : Local update

Column no5 : OTA update

Put your large file update.app in dload, boot into recovery & navigate to local update to flash.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] chiefkevbe:
I did what you said. I'm still getting the error message. I have both the update.app and the unlmt.cfg in the "dload" folder on my external SD card.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
the only thing we did different during flashing was I did not reset the phone after flashing 5.1.1 main.

the one time that i did my bootloader become locked; I unlocked it by flashing 4.4.2 B011 and did everything again.

and also mine is a 503L, not 501L, unsure if that makes a difference when bootloader is concerned.

google framework is the term that basically means all system files required by play store and other google services to function normally, without these files already in place, play store and most other gapps will not function properly even after the APKs are installed.

unlike some other chinese brands that literally remove everything google related from their roms, huawei left almost the whole google structure intact in their rom, only excluding the apps themselves, therefore getting those google functions is as simple as installing the APKs themselves.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
u need to unzip the unlmt.rar file and only copy the 0 byte cfg file over to dload folder.

after which, try the local update again.

if it still can't work, put the phone into recovery, if your recovery has white background and blue words (Recovery 1.0 for EMUI3.0), choose the 2nd last option to flash app file; the last option is for flashing zip file; both options will attempt to locate the file to flash in dload folder.

when u see a big tick, remove the microSD, the phone will reboot to 5.1.1

I've tried updating through Huawei recovery and through the software updater, and neither method will update the ROM. It just keeps crashing. All I have in the dload folder are 2 files, unlmt.cfg and update.app. And the dload folder is in the root directory of my external SD card.

u may want to start over again by downgrading to KK B011, if you can't do that via local update, u can do it via recovery.
