Installation:

I had problems with dload installation.Therefore I decided to do this with success:

1. I extracted (with huawei extractor) update.app and got all images

2. I used fastboot to install all images

3. The same procedure with update.zip

I think you have to install first update.app and THEN update.zip, otherwise update.zip will be overwritten by update.app.

I succeded with every rom which was installed before but you have to wipe cache and factory reset after you have installed lollipop 5.1.1

Lollipop works fine!

Give it a try!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] thematrix777:
hi potatohead, gave another shot for lollipop just now. I only erased data + cache through Recovery 1.0 whilst I was still on B011. After installing B110, no factory reset done.

And voila, no more Play Store crashes.

Thanks for the insights regarding google framework. Glad I ended up buying huawei product despite extremely slow updates.

My headache is still with MX Player. As I like watching movies with subs, this lolli beta ruins that joy. Subtitles are displayed to quickly (sometimes less than a sec). On 4.4.2, this can be overcome by disabling HW acceleration for subtitles, but surprisingly this option is gone with 5.1.1. Beta glitch? I hope so... Disabling HW overlays on Developer setting did not help either.

Default video player sucks as it won't display subtitles.

Btw, looks like my bootloader is locked since the very first time I got this X1. Never cared about this bootloader until recently when I failed to root 5.1.1. No help with unlocking method as of now, even sending request to mobile (at) huawei. com also no response.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
According to Huawei's production manager for X1, the 30+mb file is supposed to be flashed prior to flashing the 1gb file, this has something to do with re-partitioning coming from KK 4.4.2; in fact, afaik, for those beta testers that got the updates through OTA, only after flashing the 30+mb file will the download for the 1gb file appears. Anyway, this flashing of 30+mb file is only needed when one is upgrading from KK 4.4.2, subsequent updates from one beta lollipop rom to another will be incremental and one file only.

However, i do notice that the kernel in the 30+mb file is newer than the one in the 1gb file, even though both r still version 3.0.8, unsure if there is actually any performance difference between the 2.

You may want to check your bootloader after doing a factory reset of 5.1.1, my bootloader was re-locked after I did that, it was previously unlocked as I could fastboot flash kangvip's mod.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
All Huawei's retail phones come with a locked bootloader, but the 501u and 503L miraculously got their bootloader unlocked after flashing the full official KK 4.4.2 B011 ROM from Huawei's website, no explanation was given, users just discovered that they can now fastboot flash modded or extracted ROM. With your case, it seems to suggest that this 'something' in the China 503L ROM didn't trigger the unlocking of '501L's bootloader even if u successfully flashed it.

If you need root (I for one cannot live without it), do give jonjong's suggestion of using Wondershare MobileGo one click root pc version a try and see if it works in your case.

If you wish to go the extra mile of unlocking the bootloader and have not tried - why not download the original (and also latest) 4.4.2 B102 ROM for 501L, flash it and see if it unlocks the bootloader?

Huawei did host it on their own site previously (http://huaweidevices.de/mediapad-x1-7?show=downloads), but it is gone now.

One thing I learned from this upgrading to 5.1.1 is that the status of X1's bootloader seems to be ROM dependent, in other words, an unlock is not permanent, a different ROM version can re-lock it, and on the same note, flashing back the previous ROM can re-unlock it.

Good luck :)

Is there one-hand functionality in this rom?

May someone kindly provided us with some screenshots of new visual effects or new options in setting

This thread is viewed almost 4,000 times within a span of few days. This shows that there are still many Huawei mediapad X1 fans in the World even after X2 has been released. Hope Huawei Makers will take note of this and continue to support X1 device.

I own a X1 501L and I am very tempted to try Lollipop but since I am not so good in computers, I think I will wait until it is no longer in beta stage and the final official release becomes available. Meanwhile, I am happy to read about how users are enjoying Android 5.1.1 on their Huawei X1.

I also want to ask about the unlocking the boot loader. How do I know if my boot loader is locked or unlocked? the Rom i am currently using is: Huawei Mediapad X1 LTE (7D-501L) Firmware V100R002C209B017_Android 4.4_EMUI2.3. Should I press some numbers using the phone dialpad or something like that? Thanks

Hi Mr. Potatohead,

Actually I don't mind, but my post (post #34) on mobile go root success was earlier then mmx1u's post #42, so I think credits should be given to me.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
Sorry, missed it; corrected :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] thematrix777:
Thanks, for the last time, I went back to B011, did factory reset, re-installed B110 and went on without doing more factory reset. Now my bootloader is surprisingly unlocked, very pleased to see that green fonts instead of red ones.

But strangely, fastboot device command does not work well, it displays "? fastboot" instead of serial number. Haven't tried executing fastboot flash commands though (because I don't need to atm) but I wonder if it's not going to be a problem doing so when fastboot does not display my fastboot s/n. Any idea?

Suggestion appreciated with regard to 4.4.2 Germany ROM, but after being on EMUI 3.0, EMUI 2.3 feels so outdated for me. I hope I am wrong, but no much details regarding that Germany ROM.

My only complaint with EMUI 3.0 Chinese ROM is, since weather provider is "weather .com.cn" instead of Accuweather... my places are not recognized at all by the weather widget. It will only detect big cities around the globe.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

Actually I wanted an X2. But all Huawei retailers in Batam, Indonesia still had no idea when X2 will be available (seriously? X2 has been available for sale since March/April 2015 if I remember it correctly). Last time checked with local retailers: end of Sept.

Anyway, I could live with minor lags on X1 occuring every now and then. Other than that, still a very good device considering the inferior SoC. Wished it had used an SD800 and seriously it'd be perfect for me for the next 2 years without ever eyeing on X2, again.

To check your bootloader status, I am not sure about the easiest way. But you can google for "huawei mediapad X1 usb driver" first (I got from androidxda), google Minimal ABD and Fastboot, and install both. Don't forget to enable USB debugging mode through Settings> Developer Settings.

Connect X1 to PC using original USB cable and make sure to choose MTP mode. Execute Minimal ABD and Fastboot through shortcut on your desktop. Type: "adb devices" without quotes and only if it displays your device serial number then you can proceed with this command: "abd reboot bootloader". Do not proceed if it is unable to detect your device.

It will take you to bootloader page. It will show you whether your device is locked or unlocked.

That is all if you'd like to know your bootloader status only. Type: "fastboot reboot" to reboot normally.

Hi, guys!

I have a 7D-501L and I'd love to give a try to this beta. The problem is I cannot find 7D-503LV100R002C208B011 ROM

I've checked on Huawei's Chinesse site but the lastest version available is 7D-503LV100R002C208B008

Thoughts on /cust on European 7D-501L

Hi guys,

I'm downloading B011 and I think I'll give a try to Android 5.1.1 on Mediapad X1 7D-501L but...

I have also a P8 I bought from my operator running now also a beta version of Android 5.1.1 (B191). I had some problems in the past with Lollipop /cust partition in my P8. If you take a look at P8 forums, I have posted how to debrand the P8 in a clean way.

The reason I tell you this is because on Android 5.x, country and carrier customization happens on /cust folder and it's not really easy to change them. So going back to the P8 GRA-L09 (international version), if you flash a P8 that has, for instance, a South American ROM with an European ROM, you will have problems until you apply a vendor /custom/update.app. Same thing is you apply an European ROM to a P8 that has an operator ROM (such as vodafone, Movistar, Orange...).

Many people have flashed their P8 with ROMs having different customizations and they didn't realize, at first, their P8 wasn't working properly. They saw an error just at the end of the upgrade with their P8 seemed to be OK at start. In fact, not: some menus doesn't work such as "Netkwork mode", settings, widgets, configuration, folders... and every time you try to reset your phone to "Factory defaults", you'll get an error.

We have now the /custom/update.app to correct these issues and we can 'convert' any P8 (GRA-L09) to the European version but we cannot go back to the original operator ROM or country customization because we don't have specific /custom/update.app for each customization.

Then, my worries about this Android 5.1.1 beta for 7D-503L (China) applied to 7D-501L (International) is just /cust. I wonder if the fact of applying a China custom ROM to our 7D-510L will not allow to go back to an European custom ROM tomorrow if Huawei decide to give us an update. Though, since German ROM B103, there's nothing new for our 7D-501L. Mediapad X2 has Lollipop. Huawei could have given us a release for our X1 (same software), so I doubt we will get in Europe Android 5.1.1 officially in our X1.

It will be great if owners of 7D-501L who updated their X1 to Android 5.1.1 could tell us their feed back. It will be very helpful is someone can confirm we can go back from 5.1.1 to our old Android 4.4.2 B103

Thanks for reading.

How its performance with u [MENTION=2458026]tarekkkkk[/MENTION] and plz let me know if ongoing call waiting notification work :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] thematrix777:
hi artz, sure thing that you will not regret updating your X1 to at least B011 version with EMUI 3.0. I never do. It is very good knowing that 501L is compatible with ROMs intended for 503L. 501L is almost an abandoned variant by Huawei, no further explanation I believe.

Once with B011, I never thought of going back to original EMUI 2.3 ROM. B011 is of 320dpi instead of 400dpi, you'll see "more" with this ROM instead of "bigger", smoother than EMUI 2.3/ less lags, better battery management, no incompatible google play apps except for G+ (it requires root to install G+ on B011, I don't know why).

There are some complaints with B011, though, I for one dislike the weather app as it is unable to detect my locations except for big cities. Different weather provider on B011 is the one to blame for that. Stock Video player sucks, unable to display subtitles.

Sure, Huawei may decide to upgrade 501L somewhere in the future, but probably next year. Even 5.1.1 is right now still on beta phase.

Regarding going back to original 4.4.2 European 501L ROMs, it should not be a problem. I saw posts on Mediapad X1 G+, there's one guy named Ryan Orig posting a guidance on how to do so. You may need to take a look.

That post is very helpful for me because now, us, owners of 501L can flash the 36MB B011SP05 update without bricking our device. This update seems to be essential before upgrading to B110 regardless of your X1 variant. I managed to flash that on my X1, now my X1 feels much smoother than before. Good news is I can still downgrade to B011 when I want to. But I am not gonna do that.

Also, I remember seeing a post somewhere regarding sdcard upgrade warning for huawei phones. Never include once.cfg file on your dload folder containing the update.app when you do local update via sdcard. Only unlmtd.cfg and update.app required when updating/downgrading.

Hope someone with more knowledge can explain more about this once.cfg stuff.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ArtZ:
Thank you,

I'm running on my Mediapad X1 7D-501L Android 5.1.1 verison 7D-503LV100R008B110

Everything worked flawless from the beginning.

This is they way to do it in 10 steps (and clean)

1.- Factory reset to my 7D-501L

2.- I have downloaded full ROM 7D-503LV100R002C208B011 from here http://emuirom123.dbankcloud.com/7D-503L_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R002C208B011.zip?rid=1142 and installed over 7D-501LV100R002C100B103 (*)

3.- I installed 7D-503LV100R002C208B011SP05 (small file)

4.- Factory reset

5.- I installed 7D-503LV100R002C208B011SP05_Main (large file)

6.- Factory reset

7.- Installed Google Apps from GoogleApps.zip

8.- I uninstalled / deactivate ALL Chinese applications, games and utilities except 'Beta Club', 'HiVoice', 'Huawei Cloud+' and 'Driving mode' (because it's impossible to uninstall or deactivate them -I placed them in a folder I called 'Huawei'). These applications doesn"t work in Europe, besides they're in Chinese

9.- Launched 'Google Play' for latest updates

BUT also to replace Chinese Huawei Swype keyboard for paid iOS7 Keyboard 2.2

(excellent on Huawei P8 and Mediapad X1).

10.- Install and configurate my applications and personal settings.

(*) You need to unzip first dload.zip file and you copy /dload from 7D-503LV100R002C208B011 over /dload from dload.zip. You need to do this to cheat 7D-501L, otherwise you cannot install 7D-503L ROM on it. Once your 7D-501L has a 7D-503L B011 ROM,

you will NOT need to use files inside dload.zip again to install 7D-503LV100R002C208B011SP05 and 7D-503LV100R002C208B011SP05_Main

Thanks again to thematrix777 for his help and comments.

Hi all, I would love to apply this Lollipop update but have questions regarding the installation.

my score went to 29400 but I am now with 503lb011 on 501 and my score is 27000. so I am awaiting official version
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
Don't worry, the re-partitioning (by flashing the 30+mb file) will NOT delete the phone's memory, your phone will reboot fine into android OS (B011).

From android OS, access file manager to delete the zip and copy the app file into dload folder.

Just follow the instructions from post #1 carefully and you will have no problem.

I seems unable to upgrade and always end with an exclamation tick in both updates. Is this because my phone is rooted with Kingroot and I would need to flash back the official EMU I 3.0 1st before upgrade?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
That is a definite yes, you will need to revert to stock B011 ROM before attempting the upgrade.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cyfer33:
So, to flash back the B011 ROM, its the same method as the EMUI 3.1 via Recovery and renaming it to Update.zip? My X1 is the 7D-501u running B011 with Kingroot.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
Yes, as per standard Huawei flash procedures. Download the official ROM from Huawei's website (link in 1st post), unzip and put the whole dload folder into the root of your external SD card.

Reboot into recovery and flash.

Bootloader unlocked is doesn't affect for the ota update function and downgrade to previous rom. Lollipop got new ota? If you want to downgrade, flash "boot, recovery, cust, system" by fastboot.
