[Ascend Mate 7 General] Blue.Ember:
You should boot into bootloader dude, so your computer and adb will recognize your phone
[Ascend Mate 7 General] attila.valadi@gmail.com:
helps.....

OK, so my New Year's Resolution just came through. Somehow I managed to boot my device into a state that it got recognized by ADB and managed to install the Huawei Recovery with SRK Tools (Yeeey).

The problem now is that whatever ROM I'm trying to install via the Hard Reset method, it gets stuck at 5%, and nothing happens.

My device is the Chinese MT7-TL00 version, could anyone advise what ROM should I download on my SD card? Or what might be the problem? Before all of this mess I had the latest Marshmallow official update (whatever build was that...)

Help? :)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Try this firmware

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G696/g104/v61415/f1/full/update.zip
[Ascend Mate 7 General] attila.valadi@gmail.com:
It's still the same, it gets stuck at 5%.

Also tried with the Huawei extractor to fastboot flash the boot.img, recovery.img and system.img files as well. Nothing happend. Sill can't boot my phone.... Any other ideas?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] attila.valadi@gmail.com:
Well, another small step. I managed to install the AOSP ROM (with fastboot commands) from XDA, and it works...I have no idea how and why, as it's for TL09 models, yet mine is TL00...

Anyone got an idea how to revert to the sock ROM now? :)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
Hi guys, I know there are more important issues to discuss but I need help with this issue. I can't seem to change theme on my device. Whenever I try to change theme it returns to stock theme.

I will like to know of anyone once experienced this issue and how they resolved it.

Thanks.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
I have faced this issue,

And 3 methods worked

1. If you have twrp backup of current rom, restore system partition.

2. Flash only system.img using fastboot

3. Factory reset
[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
I have twrp.

Where can I get the right system.img to download.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Find it on 1st page of this thread,

Download twrp backup which matches your build number
[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
B560 is my build number.

Do I have to unpack the file after downloading and then flash only the system.img?

Just asking, I need guidelines to avoid bricking my device.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
Can I flash the system.img of twrp 2.8.7.x B560 middle east on my device running twrp 3.0.2.0?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] jamorOO7:
I tried doing this but experienced a bootloop. But no need to worry. If you experienced bootloop, all you have to do is shutdown ur fone, long press power button, then once the screen is off quickly access the recovery by pressing volume up and power button at the same time. Then do factory reset. You should be able to setup your phone then.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
I have downloaded the back up.

How do I go about it using fastboot?

Which file should I flash cos I see a couple of files here.?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
This is the back up of my current rom. Which of these files is the system.img?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
You have to copy all files,

When restoring in twrp there you will get option to chose which partition. Select system only.

And then wipe cache.

1st boot may take time as long as animation is there in logo, you should wait until bootup.

Be careful while using 3rd party themes.

I had same problem just because of one theme.

You have downloaded wrong backup

Here is correct backup of middle east

[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
I did a factory reset and everything is working great now.

Thanks to everyone for the guidelines. I appreciate it a lot.

However, I will like to know if anyone has successfully flashed a custom rom for this device?

I will like to know the rom and the ups and downs of the rom...

Thanks
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chudy_85:
For marshmallow we have 3 custom rom and all 3 work after flashing using twrp 3
[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
OK. What are the names of these roms?

Are they related to emui?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ambyy:
hello guys. I was running rooted 5.1.1 on ML10, i installed twrp_2.8.7.0_mate7_5.1 and then Ale95-KangVIP.V3.1_MT7-C900B571. My phone got stuck on the bootscreen. i installed twrp_3.0.2_mate7_6.0, wiped and reinstalled Ale95-KangVIP.V3.1_MT7-C900B571, same problem. how do i get my phone to boot up? thanks
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chudy_85:
You must restore backup in twrp but only lollipop. If you do it you must update normal to marshmallow using dlaod and then flash twrp 3 and flash Ale95 kangvip
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
In simple words kangvip can only be installed when you are running marshmallow
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ambyy:
SOLVED!

Did a complete wipe, installed stock recovery and installed stock marshmallow from dload using external SDCard. Thanks guys.

I'm using TL10 international, how do i get LTE only network mode to work here?

How can i differentiate between the international and Chinese MTL10?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Chinese model is not TL10, i think it's TL00

I don't know much about LTE
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ambyy:
They are both TL10, they are alike in almost every aspect but i believe there is a noticeable difference somewhere

TL10C900B331 which file to upgrade to Marshmallow?

PLease help.:p I have Model: MT7-TL10, and I have Build Number: MT7-TL10C900B331 bought in Europe (Portugal) in a official store.

This is Lollypop 5.1.1 --> I want Marshmallow 6.0. I have been waiting for OTA but nothing... even the cheap Wiko I bought for my girlfriend, and my other phone less than top knotch LG both have Marshmallow.

Which file should I install? I'm confused....:confused:

Is it this one» C432B571 Full ( Europe ) ??

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.:angel:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chudy_85:
Check your region using this code

*#*#*2846579#*#* push 3 and 4

If you have country eu flash B571 full but remember you don't back to lollipop
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leinadamil:
B571 downloaded, unzipped, copied to internal memory.. what next?

Chudy_85 thanks a lot for this.:o:good:

Ok. I've downloaded and unzipped the B571 file under the TL10 list. I've copied both the UPDATE.APP as well as the META-INF folder with everything in it to my phone's internal storage, these together are 2GB! (I now only have less than 500 Mb available).

I've backed up Whatsapp and everything else on my phone including apps, files, layout, calendar, SMS, call logs, etc..

What do I do next?:confused:

I tried selecting the UPDATE.APP file in my file manager but it tells me: "unable to open file".:(:p

How do I go about it?:angel:

Thanks very much.:cool:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chudy_85:
Only put update.app to dload in ext sdcard

If you have problem with correct flash. Copy all backup to your PC and delete from mate but copy all folder backup and then try flash
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leinadamil:
says instalation failed..

I formated extSD FAT32 and create only one folder: "dload", inside folder only one file: "UPDATE.APP"

I power up press the vol up + vol down + power... it takes a while... but the screen says: checking update file... 1%,2%, 3%, 4%... :)

then says:

installing update 5%..:o

then says:

"instalation failed...":crying:

I'm trying to delete from mate but I cannot. When I connect phone to PC USB the phone is turned on, i cannot delete entire phone... it needs files to run... no?

Any idea? Help?:confused:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] attila.valadi@gmail.com:
WORKS!!!!

well in the end i managed to unbrick my phone...after 2-3 weeks of testing different ROMS over other ROMS...

here's what i did:

entered fastboot (with endless trials...) - it only enters this mode if it's attached via usb to a laptop/pc

installed twrp recovery with srk tools

downloaded KangVip Rom with Gapps and KangVip Patch for MT7-TL00 (my model) - without the patch it would not boot into the ROM.

from twrp I installed the rom zip, installed the gapps zip, and installed the patch zip

Reboot and Voila! it works like a charm, I have a nice rooted phone once again. :)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Manan79:
I bought new Mt7-L09 , and it is 4.4.2 , B148 out of the box , the updater says no updates available...i tried to read this thread, but nothing mentioned about how to upgrade from B148 to android 6.0.1 or even 7.1.1 , any help ?

OK I upgraded to b329 and everything works fine...So this is 5.1.1 , now I will need to find out which version should I select to upgrade to 6.0.1
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Manan79:
Vendor is hw....Country is spcseas
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Manan79:
ok after some research on XDA ....successfully did following

1. B148 --> B329 ( Malaysia_Singapore_Channel-Others ) (stock local update)

2. B329 --> B331 ( Croatia_Channel-Others ) (stock local update)

3. B331 ---> B522 (Europe) (stock local update)

so now i m on B522 (6.0 android) , and all of above i did in just 2 days of having the new phone :) ..cool , now any more updates , custom rom i should try ? any signs of nougat ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Your phone is Asian and you have installed European firmware,

Now don't expect any OTA for your phone

There are 0% chances of nougat.

And only one custom rom available which is kangvip rom
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Manan79:
Thanks ...I m aware of the regions. But for Asian/Malaysian version ...only this way to update to 6.0.1 and what OTA updates ? Anyways I dint get any OTA even on 4.4.2.. I m in North America....
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Lolz there's B563 latest version for asia

Anyway if you are happy, enjoy it
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Manan79:
Haha...Will go back to that if needed...I think we can still revert back to 4.4. and go that route ..But thanks
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Dz08:
Any news about update for TL10C185B560 (meafnaf)?

Hey guys I have the MT7-C900B522 version of the Mate 7 running Android 6.0 how do I rollback so I can root?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chudy_85:
Do you want root or rollback. Root you can do it only if you have unlocked bootloader on lollipop and marshmallow via twrp. On Kitkat you can root by kingroot
[Ascend Mate 7 General] reasonz20:
I want to root but my bootloader is locked

[Ascend Mate 7 General] ksa_android:
Hi , can i eupdate my phone minually while it is rooted by kingroot ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] reasonz20:
I don't think so but am not an expert
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
You can not
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ksa_android:
So what is easiest way to updgrade the phone ? Avoiding bootloader editing ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Unroot and update, simple nothing to do with bootloader
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ksa_android:
How to unroot my phone ? Just delete it ? I think i need to install the whole system again look like samsung devices , anyway , i dont need for for Root right now what can i do ? I dont have enough experience of Huawei devices
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Other applications have option to unroot, and its very easy, kingroot never used, don't know about it

Whats the new update - HUAWEI Mate 7 Firmware(MT7-TL10, C185B560, middle east) ? Can I use this to update my Android Version B14 -> B60.

Thanks
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Manan79:
Bytheway I changed my region to Europe and got on b571 using ota update so all good

Do you know why custom roms are a problem to develop for this phone ? As I don't see many
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Will you bother to write complete build number?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] asifequbal:
Sure,

My current details -:

My Current Build No - MT7-TL10C185B514.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chudy_85:
Yes you can use C185B560 to update.

Info for all users Mate7

Huawei don't give us android 7.0

This it's my last Huawei

Next device be Xiaomi, Meizu or One Plus

That info about update give me Huawei Poland

What benefits & features we will get after upgrading from "MT7-TL10C185B514" to "MT7-TL10C185B560".

What's the process to update from "MT7-TL10C185B514" to Twrp Backup 2.8.7.x -> Middle East Mate 7 Gold Dual Sim [MT7-TL10C185B560].

Is there a special process to upgrade from "MT7-TL10C185B514" using the Twrp Backup 2.8.7.x
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cybertech:
Thank you for the link. Next thing is I will need to unroot the phone first, any recommended easy method to unroot the phone?

Thanks.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cege987:
If you rooted using SuperSU, easiest way is to use 'Full Unroot' option in SuperSU settings. I've used it before to unroot, so i can get OTA updates, and works like a charm.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cybertech:
Thank you for the info, saw that 'Full Unroot' option in SuperSU settings.

Planning to update from B562 to B563 but maybe hold on first since do not know how much improvement for the B563 over my current B562.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
Yeah man, following closely in your footsteps. Huawei is a typical disappointment when it comes to updating devices.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
All companies provide updates for 2 years to flag ship phone.

Mate 7 already more than 2 years old.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Wmateria:
Technically 1 year and 8 months for the MT7-L09 and 1 year and 10 months for the TL10. I think the 2 year software policy is rubbish. Just get a Nexus Device and you'll get updates on both ends.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Nexus 5x not getting nougat
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Wmateria:
Um... Maybe you should read about it more.. it already has android 7.1.1..
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Wmateria:
Snapdragon 808 compatible to Nougat.. learn about it.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
My mistake, i was about to write 5 only.

By the way later we will see people complaining about battery time, because Huawei devices are giving excellent battery backup, and that's why most of us bought this phone.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Wmateria:
Well.. even if it can't get the official.. it does have a Nougat AOSP Rom... If it is buggy, then i am sure it is being heavily developed to get better or someone is revising the last version of AOSP or Cyanogenmod. Let me give an example: I still own a Nexus 7 (the 2012 version) and people are heavily revising an unofficial 14.1 Lineage Rom and a unofficial AOSP Nougat Rom.. and it is getting close for a fully functional Nougat device. Another developer on the same forum still does revisions for the old CM 11 Rom instead of using the official Cyanogen 12.1 Rom since it was badly optimized to begin with severe battery drains. So most people use LineageOS 11 (that's how the Dev calls it) with it's December Security patch and that is what i'm using for my Tablet or most take a risk and try the newest and help out the Devs. Sometimes new Roms maybe not be all that great until it is fixed. To reply about what you say about this Mate 7 device.. i really like my Mate 7.. the only reason why i still have this device is that there is one Rom developer left here. The other Dev already moved on.

My previous phone was an Ascend Mate 2 and i traded it for this device and mind you the Mate 2 is already going all the way with Lineage 14.1 and that phone has been getting CM 13 since all of last year. I noticed on other Huawei phones.. XDA doesn't have much development after how much support the Ascend Mate 2 had. So that is why i would not bother to get another Huawei device. I think if you do move on from your Mate 7.. find a phone that has most development on the mobile brand side and XDA. That is what i'm trying to say.. Nexus devices have the upper hand no matter what anybody says and any device that is on the development list that is well worked on in XDA. Unless Nexus comes out with a 4000mah phone.. try to look on other phone brands like the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro and it will have Nougat soon.. or try to look into the *Asus Zenfone 3S Max when it comes out, Asus is extremely good on Frequent updates and has a fair share on XDA and it launches with Nougat. Samsung also does have great development on the XDA side so i guess in due time it will have its moment with that particular model and *ASUS.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
But here no body interested in mate7 development. Only Chinese kangvip rom available.

Nothing else

I´m from Austria. So middle-europe.

I hope you can help me, i need your advice :)

[Ascend Mate 7 General] KobySam87:
That's not going to happen.... 2 years down the line.... The mate 7 is great device and the users of this device will love to have emui 5.0 but you know how these manufacturers behave towards old flagship devices....

Keeping hoping. Maybe just maybe your wish may come to pass... ::svetius::svetius::cool::cool:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
Yes, ...ive been a huawei user from quite sometime from y300 to p9+ and it really sucks that huawei isnt good at software support though they have a great device..

I've a confusion here...

I'm from Pakistan i.e I've middle east variant

about 3 4 month ago, I manually flashed a MarshMallow Firmware and I don't know what it was.

Now I've mt7-c900b512 on my Gold mate 7.

I just checked and found that c185b560 is the official firmware of my phone..

so question is how I can flash c185b560 to my phone

I never unlock bootloader or root this phone..

I've 1.23 Gb c185b560 firmware

Is flashing via DLOAD method will do the job?

or there is some workaround to do?

plz help me
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mutahharbashir:
Han bai, use dload method

I did some research and found that my country is meafnaf which is the middle east and my build number is B324

What should I do exactly to successfully upgrade to Marshmallow?

I have c185b560 TL-10 middle east. Is it possible to return with this Transition firmware (c900b500)? Because it is the only one I meet
[Ascend Mate 7 General] birobiro:
Sorry for the multiple post.

I've just received a Mate 7 L09 (dual sim) unfortunately with brand TIM, italian service provider (I don't know how deep the customization is...) and it never received any firm update (and I think it will never receive them!): it is still on KK 4.4.2 emui 3.0.

It is from MT7-L09V100R001C00B series and the version is 136SP01.

Do You think it would be possible to install somehow an unbranded firm? I would like to install at least LP (the best would be MM)

Take care that this is a company mobile phone, so, it would be nice NOT to unlock it :(

Actually the firmware finder app tells me that I should update with the b137 file for Italy also present in first post, but I suppose that it is for unbranded models...

Thanks for the help and let me know if I have to provide more info.
