I think this is due to law restrictions in 701 regions.

I have fixed this issue so way: I have added the string

[B] [I]<integer ro.hwcamera.sound.muteable="true"/>[/I][/B]

in the end of file hw_defaults.xml (before </resources>)

in every xml folder of my cust subfolders.

Wiped dalvick and... this mute-switcher have come back :cool:

So it could be solution to enable it after installing ROM

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

I see now B111-CUST-MOD.zip in some regions in files

\prop\local.prop

has

ro.hwcamera.sound.muteable=true

and in others

ro.hwcamera.sound.muteable=false

Maybe it is better to replace all strings by

ro.hwcamera.sound.muteable=true

so it could enable the switcher before installing ROM. So it will be installed already with enabled switcher.

Anyway I have added this strings in all \prop\local.prop and all \xml\hw_defaults.xml files in every region subfolders in my ROM-packs and users have this switcher after installing my rom-packs.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'll change it in the cust mod as well as the ROMS when I get some time.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I fixed it for all B111 ROMS and in the B111 cust mod as well as the KangVIP b111 cust mod. Confirmed working on my 702L. Thanks for pointing that out.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Started to upgrade my 701L from B003 to B111:

1) installed UNIVERSAL-CUST-B111.zip -ok

2) wiped cache and dalvik ->ok

3) extracted V100R001C233B015.zip 4 filed and flashed them in fastboot- ok

4) started system, had no Chinese welcome and saw my installed apps.

5) Selected updateprogram and selected to backup phone sms ect.

6) Selected upddateprogram and selected dload for the B106 which I had extracted to external SD Card.

7) Updateprogram reboots and starts to upgrade.

But on 19% it hangs. (waited about 10 Minutes then aborted)

My trials to solve (unsuccessful yet)

- restored my NANDROID backup, -ok

- installed TWRP and UNIVERSAL-CUST-B111.zip after step 5

- reboot leads into TWRP - > can not do dload

-> then flashed the original recovery for B015

-> then it starts dload process -> no success at 19%

next attempt:

- restored my backup start again: Now I tried to do the dload not die B106 but used the B015 Update.app when I was already on B015 by fastboot flash

-> same problem dload hangs on 19%

Currently I copy the dload folder to the internal memory and waiting now for more than 10 minutes. (still see progress) My old SD Card (16 GB) which I used for experimental files like this seems to be extreme slow. I even get a message on android when inserting this card that is is very slow. So I will do the dload from internal SD later today and report.

Even when writing on it a 1 GByte File with Android then 500 MB will be copied fast and then it slows down extremely and have to wait 3 seconds je more for 1%. (I had formated this card yesterday with FAT32 0 errors.)

Another attempt in a variation:

-Factory reset in TWRP

-Installed B015 4 files fastboot and then did not start the phone

-I tried to update from internal SD after factory reset in TWRP:

-I started dload update process via VOL- VOL+ and POWER and let USB cable plugged and no SD Card inserted.

- This started the dload process without the GUI updateprogram: This shows EMUI updater with chinese letters below.

- It hang at 90 % waited long then plugged USB cable and restarted: The phone seemed to be still under B015

->> seems to be not useful

regulary attempt whith my class 10 32 GByte sdcard.

I put in the B106 dload folder and started update from GUI updateprogram.

This aborted on 98% or so like expected.

Reboot machine and cecked version- ok B106 but wrong "about" (1 GByte and Android 4.3)

Then I installed new TWRP 5.11 and universal Cust via TWRP and now it shows 3 Gbyte and Andriod 5.1.1

Made NANDROID Backup for 5.11. and restored my Android 5.0 Backup and voila I'm back to the beginning!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
After you upgraded to B015 did you do a factory data reset from settings---->Backup & Reset? It's an important step. I recommend doing a factory reset each time you fastboot flash the img files. You must have the stock recovery installed for it to Factory reset properly or you'll just get an endless boot into TWRP. When YOU do the dload method make sure you have the factory recovery installed and not TWRP. So I would flash the cust mod in TWRP first, then fastboot flash B015 boot.img, system.img, recovery.img, userdata.img and cust.img. Then let the rom boot up then do a factory reset. Then do the same for b106, b109 and b111. (You will probably just have to do the dload method at this point and not have to fastboot flash the img files once you're on stock b106) You won't need to install TWRP until you're done and on stock b111.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
no I only did factory reset on twrp before flashing fastboot to B015.

I saw a stock B015 with some chinese bloatware. Then I installed your universal cust canged back to org-recovery and did the "dload" via GUI.

-> I have no bootloop on TWRP at this point of time, so I think it is ok now and I will try to TWRP install your KANG 111

I read all the 2 threads the last 2 days, and found some recommendations changed.

so some things are still unclear.

- when flashing the new universal cust, the system shows the correct "about Info" -> It seems to be important before the first 4 fastboot img.

-> to get this, we have to replace the original recovery by twrp and install this.

But if I want to "dload" a new version, the original recovery has to be installed before. This step has to be mentioned in the OP.

- there is a method to start dload without the GUI. I tested that without success. May it be useful in some cases?

- why should the dload folder not be placed on the internal SD?`

- when is the factory reset necessary? There are 2 methods: from TWRP and from GUI.

- after factory reset there may be chinese dialogboxes on first start of the GUI. I was not sure which button to press.

- when on B106: can I direct install your KANGVIP b111 or do I have to do the dload method for the regulary B111, or go OTA via d109 to regular d111

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Meanwhile I tried to jump directly from 106 to your B111. I selected Factory reset in TWRP before flashing and wipe after.

It started and I got in your version. But I only have a chinese keyboard, so can not enter my username to get in google playstore.

So seems to be neccessary to go via stock b109 and stock b111?

I woud make the factory reset from the GUI, like you have recommended, but then my internal SD would be formatted?

I was able to trick the keyboard that it will not replace my typing with chinese words. So I could activate my google account and download my keyboard "swype".

2 things: Message at system GUI start "motion force close at boot" and Chinese characters in lockscreen.

What should I test if this is a usable system?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Download the KangVIP B111 cust mod and flash it as that will fix the Motion force close at boot or just enable the double tap to wake and that will fix it as well. Change the lockscreen wallpaper to something else and the Chinese writing will go away. Also disable Desktop Weather Lunar and Lunar Calendar in Settings---->Advanced Settings. The Keyboard included is the Chinese Keyboard but you can tap on the EN to make it in English. Then download whatever Keyboard you want.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Given the release of B006 on 702L OTA, is there a change of steps? An easier way to jump to 703 later builds?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
No, do the 703L upgrade method the same way as always.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Sad to report, that I can not contiune my tests for some days.

My 701 stopped charging today. I don't know why. I plugged it in external power on car and after a while I noticed that it is not charging anymors.

Maybe a heat probelm? I think it was full charged tonight.

I used it normal yesterday with the old stock FW B003. I had returnde to that via NANDROID, because I was not ready with configurating the B111 I had in user for about 3 hours.

I had used that adapter in car many times and tested it on another smartphone with no problem.

No USB connect on Windows.

But in fastboot I was able to connect.

Curious.

I removed TWRP and selected factory reset.

After that I found SuperUser left on GUI.

There is a option in it to remove root and the app itself.

So I saved my data to SD card, formatted internal SD and will send it back to vendor.

Is it possible to damage the charger via software?

Ever heard someone with similar probelm?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ZeuseZ:
Unfortunately it is not some news.

You have such problem because it is impossible fully come back to 5.0 fw after you have flashed 5.1.1

Unable to charge is one of the errors after such downgrading.

Do not waste the time to fix it.

Do the upgrade to B111 and you will get fully working device.

Hi Every1.

I've spend alot of times readin this post just to get it right, before I do anything on my new GEM-702L X2. But I still have some questions, before I decide wether I should unlock my bootloader and start on the rooting and custom/another Rom.

When I have unlock the bootloader, and installed TWRP, and follow all the steps to flash GEM-703L rom on GEM-702L.

1. Will I be able to revert back to my original GEM-702L b106 ROM ?

2. When I flash a Gem-703L original ROM, will my Gem-702L stay as a Gem-703L "forever" so I can get updates from Huawei ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ZeuseZ:
1. As I know 702L doesn't have b106. Check is it B006?

If it is so you will not be able to come back to it (B006 is 5.o fw) after you flash 5.1.1 fw (B106+).

2. You will be able to flash 702 firmware (if it will be 5.1.1 or higher) when it will be released by fastboot and/or local update, but not via OTA.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Aznbull:
Thanks ZeuseZ for the correction and information, this phablet is so good but it's really sad to see that the gem 701/2L is behind in development vs the gem-703L. I would love to have the split screen and the alternative layout function.

So if I follow the steps on page 1. My Gem-702L will become a Gem-703L "forever" with no possibility to go back to the original rom?

If 702L-Android 5.1.1 rom release, you can go back to the 702L-original rom.

Hi, I just want to make sure I understand fully before I flash the rom.

702L stuck at B015 (703L stock)

Hi eenap

I followed your sequence above and you're right the kangVIP b015 somehow "changed" my 702L into 703L. However the furthest I could go is till the stock b015 ROM.

From b015 I tried to flash the b106 using the same 4 fastboot flash commands but upon reboot it simply went into a boot loop. I re-flashed the b015 and managed to reboot back to b015. Made a second attempt to flash b106 again and got into the same boot loop.

So this is the furthest I got

I flash X2_TWRP_CN_5.1 >> kangVIP b015 >> stock rom b015

Did I miss something between b015 and b106 ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] eennap:
I remember, from b015 I update to b106 by b106's dload but not compleate (90-95%). After reboot my X2 change from b015 to b106. I update again with 4 fastboot flash commands.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
dload b106

Yes - I also tried this. At b015 stock rom I used UPDATER and showed B106 is available for upgrade.

It then downloaded 455MB of data to upgrade to B106. The installed midway then failed and I had to reboot but still showed B015 ?

When you flash the rom gem 703l does that wipe the whole system; so all previous app are same as you data...what im asking is that do I need to do a backup and restore?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] btuser001:
Same thing happened to me. I got to b015 stock using the 4 fastboot flash commands then tried the same with b016 stock and went into a boot loop after. I then went all the way back to X2-B015-Kangvip > b015 (4 fastboot flash) > then updated to b016 stock by manually saving the update.app in internal\dload\ and using the updater.

This worked and I flashed X2_TWRP_CN_5.1.1_kangvip > X2-B106_Kangvip_v2 (using twrp) and still booting successfully. Now going on to the next step. One thing is very weird, the EMUI is still version 2.0 and android 4.3!?

I also looked in build.prop but it's showing the correct info in there. Otherwise everything is working normally. (Except my 4G icon is messed up, missing the switch SIM card 2G > 4G / 3G / 2G option and missing the Carrier aggregation option)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Ok I re-attempt again but this time I skipped the Kang B015 1st step.

Instead I did:

1) go into bootloader and flash ONLY the CUST.IMG and SYSTEM.IMG from stock B015 ROM

2) reboot and my 702L device showed it is a "703L" with build B015. So far so good.

3) used the dload method as you recommended to update to B106 which failed midway as you said

4) rebooted and the phone showed it is now on build B106

5) went into bootloader and re-flash the 4 IMGs and it still showing B106 ok.

I noticed from a little experiment if I flash SYSTEM alone from B015 stock ROM, my 702L will show itself as a "703L" phone but the build is still B003 (702L current build)

After I flashed the CUST.IMG from B015 then I noticed the ability to switch SIM is gone. Henceforth from step 2 there is no way to switch SIM for the 3G/4G.

So in summary:

flash CUST & SYSTEM stock b015 >> stock B106 using dload >> flash stock B106

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Now to revert back to my original B003 - I'm facing a problem

I used the dload method for B003 using the EMUI UPDATER of the B106 but it failed and it said "wrong version". So I went into bootloader and flash the 4 IMGs from my stock B003. I t restarted with error and said I'd to do a DATA RESET which basically wipes my internal SD including my TWRP backups (fortunately I've a copy).

My 702L rebooted and it showed it's a 702L build B003 with the ability to change SIM for 3G/4G back to normal.

From here my problem starts - I could not enable the DEVELOPER USB DEBUGGING mode ?

I could swipe to turn the USB Debuging Mode ON but it is not "persistent" as in each time I noticed whenever I went to check the USB Debugging mode it always revert back to OFF. Of course connecting the phone to my PC I can no longer use ADB nor FASTBOOT which means I'm unable to flash the TWRP and re-root my 702L.

What seems to be the issue ? How can I re-enable my USB Degugging mode ?

try this

Connect phone to pc and install hisuite.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
I already have the Hi-suite installed and working fine previously.

Anyway I re-installed as you said but even after I connect the phone to the PC, it doesn't connect ? I even go into SETTINGS--> SECURITY--->enable the "Use HDB to connect to HiSuite" but still no go.

Looks like something messed up the "USB Debugging" on my 702L ? Any other way to reset it or enable the USB Debugging ? This is the first time I encountered a situation whereby the USB Debug fails to "stick" to a state ?

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

If I recall previously the Hisuite relies on the phone having the USB Debug ON to install the HiSuite agent inside the phone. But now the HiSuite on the PC is still not able to connect to the phone.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

The irony is that I can go into bootloader mode, phone is still unlocked but I cannot issue any fastboot commands because the USB Debug is still not enabled.

Just flash Chainfire's SuperSU to root any system that you're on. Flash it in TWRP and you're rooted.

After converting to a 703L you still need the original cust for your model as well as the 703L cust for the information in About Phone to show up correctly This is why you should flash the universal cust after fastboot flashing the cust, so the information in About Phone shows up correctly and then the dload method doesn't fail at 95%. This is why I created the universal cust zip. It flashes the 703L cust as well as the necessary cust folders from the 701L 702L. Your phone knows which cust to pull the information from. Just using a 703L cust folder on a converted 701L or 702L, the information in About Phone will never be correct. This is why those who had 701L or 702L versions complained that their About Phone information was wrong until they flashed the cust mod as I added their original cust folder into the universal mod.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
This means step 2 is dropped and inserted after step 3:

So new step 2:

It is important not to install recovery.img yet.

2a) in fastboot flash boot, system, userdata and cust,

2b) -boot into TWRP (that's why not yet to flash the original recovery) and

2c) install the universal cust.

2d) - boot into fastboot mode and flash the original recovery.img, because system needs it for the dload process in step 4.

3a) reboot system do minimal setup and

3b) select factory reset an check format internal SD

Open question:

1) If we do this when comming from a firmware with a version number lower than B015 and fastboot flashed the 5 img of B015, is it neccessary to do the dload process on B015, or can we start with dload B106?

Normally I assume you will say yes, because this is the method to switch compete to a stock version.

2) If we then do one dload after another is it sufficient, or do we have to insert the fastboot img steps between?

I did this only once at the beginning and just repeated dloads like described.

3) is flashing userdata.img optional or not?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
[MENTION=379951]een[/MENTION]ap Thank you for your word document.

Would you be so kind and correct your document, wich helped at lot.

eenaps document has a typo on page 24 which could lead a newbe into a trap.

fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY and hit Enter. <--- is wrong

fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img and hit Enter <--- is correct

on page 29 :

Upgrade complete, Check Build no. It must to be b016. <- is false

Upgrade complete, Check Build no. It must to be B106.

By the way this document is not up to date.

My guide above is based on experiences with the word document and my 701 device and advices from ajsmsg78.

- I tried to keep eenaps numbering, so I inserted a,bc ...

- newer TWRP: no more necessary to patch the chinese.

- no more necessary to extracting file from B015: I have uploaded the extracted files.

- maybe errorfree dload, if inserting the univesal cust at the right position 3d)

and to do dload process also on the B015. This may prevent you from getting the error at 95% of the dload.

I guess the error is a result of the not fitting cust and the fact that there had not been the full update of B015 on the device.

I hope the next candidate could confirm this.

If we get once this confirmation I would suggest to open a new thread with the guide and 701 in the thread name too.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] milanvot:
I had to flash UNIVERSAL-CUST-B111.zip in TWRP after EACH dload (106, 109, 111) in order to get info correct and next dload error free. It's crucial to ensure info is correct before the next dload. I also made factory reset after each dload, but it is (probably) optional.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Thank you for the information.

Could you please answer these 3 questions.

1) Which version did you take for the first dload. B015 oder B106?

2)And was this error free?

3) After the first error free dload, did you try to try to dload the next without flashing the universal cust?

I guess, if we once get an error free dload, the next steps will not need the universal cust unless we install the B111KangVip, which includes the universal cust.

This was my experience and I would invite the next candidate to test this.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] milanvot:
1) after an atempt to unsuccessful downgrade from B111 to B015 I had to fastboot B106 images, restart, fastboot TWRP 5.1.1, flash universal B111 cust and then error free dload of B106. After the dload, the info was incorrect, so I flashed universal cust again.

2) yes

3) yes but it failed in 95% (incorrect info)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes, ok in your case you could not start from b015.

I hope the next candidate can report, if we could get a error free dload on b015 and b106 when comming from Android 5.0.
