According to the Chinese forums it is. I'm upgrading my 702L to it now and gonna try and put out a rom for it.

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ----------

OK, TWRP 5.1.1 confirmed working with this. Root should be working as well.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
twrp recovery is installed without problem. But when i tried to install supersu zip, boot loop started. I tried with SuperSu2.66 and 2.67(systemless root).

To go back to 5.1, chinese mentiones some method. But this is what i tried and works.

- After installing twrp, make sure you have any twrp installable rom on sd card.

- Goto twrp recovery and wipe system(must), data, cache.

- install twrp installable zip rom. reboot.

After this you can keep factory image of B112 in dload folder and press power, vol up and vol down together to install it.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Gotcha. Thanks. I'm gonna try and make a pre-rooted rom out of this and hopefully get root working properly. From watching SuperSU root my Mate 8 (works fine) and watching it root my X2 it seems like it's not rooting properly. The root process takes about 10 seconds more on my Mate 8. It's not patching the kernel like it's supposed to and defaulting to the old root method which causes a bootloop. Supposedly if we terminal command echo SYSTEMLESS=true in TWRP it will force the systemless root.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Great. right now i am back to 5.1 for the lack of root. if you can get ir rooted i will be back to 6.0
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
OK, got it working. In TWRP before you flash SuperSU 2.67 you have to go to Advanced and enter Terminal Command and type in echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

This will force SuperSU to use systemless root which will patch the bootloader instead of the system and work properly.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
Ok,will wait for this one,please mention what is not working properly.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Ok so can you confirm if i follow above method in my 6.0 room it will root properly?

please confirm so that i will go ahead nd reinstall 6.0 beta
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yep. You'll see a difference in the rooting process after you enter that command. It will say it's patching the boot image when rooting. It will boot, then reboot once. Then boot right up. This is normal for the systemless root procedure. If I get this rom working, if you wanna try flashing it while still on B112 and let me know if it boots for you.

---------- Post added at 04:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 AM ----------

The ROM i made boots but i have the same bugs as on my Mate 8. Wifi doesn't connect and the external SD says it's corrupt (it's really not) I think it's something in the installer-script.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Thanks man, I rooted successfully.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
No problem, thanks for sharing the beta.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] tbatliner:
Thanks! Prerequisite is to be on stock B112?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
submits TWRP backup also to go back to 5.1.1?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
yes
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Your question is not clear.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
1) How did you make "reset"?

.There are 2 ways: In TWRP (which wipes cache, dalvic cache and userdata)

or did you start system and select reset via running Android.

If system does not start, I think we only can do reset via TWRP.

For this you should not flash recovery.img, but TWRP to do the reset and then install recovery.

2) On 701 devices we have to install the universal cust B112 from ajsmsg via TWRP. So flashing the "cust.img" could be unneccessary.

3) Why did you spare to flash userdata.img?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
for 240-280 dpi you try persist.sys.dpi method. It should work decently with minor problem. You can easily revert it it you don't like.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] 9ain:
setprop persist.sys.dpi 240 :3 is perfect, thanks

only chrome tabs doenst work, below 320 dpi

how u have navbar buttons bigger?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elio321:
B208 rom please !

I finally got my X2 back !!! restored my TWRP backup and no longer restarting itself....phew !! :) 3 days without a phone is tough !!:crying:

I'm not gonna mess with it no more til we get a B208 ROM from ajsmsg78 :cool:

Please build us a6/6.01 ROM ASAP
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I guess no one is really interested in one so I'll wait till marshmallow is finally released before I make one.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Gibbon_999:
+1 - I'd rather wait for the final version. Thanks.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Can we be sure, that 701/702 models which are successfully converted to 703 with the custmod112 will also be able to use the same update of the comming ajsmsg78 6.0 ROMs?

For 702 I am sure, because ajsmsg78 owns this device. But is it the same for the 701?

[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
I tried it but there's no luck. -_- maybe you can do better try it and give us feedback.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Sorry this was a question to [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION].

I will not update until we have the official update and ajsmsg78 modification.

A reason for me to upgrade would be to have USB Audio. But no one of the betatesters answered on my question if it works now. Surely you have to own a compatibel USB Audio unit and a OTG Adapter to test this.

The audio latency should be better in 6.0 This is usable for all of us, who are recording speeches or music to have monitor function on that what is been recorded. Currently software allows monitoring, but is unusable, because you hear it as an echo later.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
If anyone wants to convert their 701L or 702L to a 703L my advice would be to do it now while on Lollipop because Marshmallow will make it impossible.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Interesting... So the "cust" modification is not possible anymore?

We'll see, if Huawei will offer an official upgrade for the 701/702 model. Is there a betatest, too?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cvncbn:
How to flash Gapp for this rom ? Gapps installed from HiApp not working perfectly.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] the-bunker:
Hi - just to be clear on this - I think you are saying that once the 701L or 702L is upgraded to Marshmallow via the official route, then you won't be able to switch to 703L ? (& benefit from all the mod work done on the 703L)

So, if you've got a 701L or 702L then as long as your upgrade path to Marshmallow from Lollipop is

1. Switch to 703L while still on Lollipop

2. Upgrade to Marshmallow

Then you can have all the 703L mod goodies (but getting back to original 701L/702L seems pretty unlikely).

Correct ???
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yes. You will never have the need to go back anyway and on the 703L software it's easy to remove the Chinese apps or just flash one of my roms.

[MENTION=2942653]bark1234[/MENTION] I have already registered Beta Club but I did not receive B208 update.

Please tell me why.

Thanks much.

It seem that B209 update is out.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I keep getting emails in Chinese every so often, probably about the betas but I can't read them so i delete them.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Before starting any beta program for any new release like 5.1 or 6.0 they post it in chinese vmall forum. You have to register ur mobile there and if it is approved you get beta update.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
Thanks. But after registering ur mobile, they will approve through sms or email?

I got problem in step 4 : Install B112

System update failed !

Although I updated B205 successfully.

Battery life of B112 is better than B205 :'(
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
You need downgrade from B205 to B112?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
again,again,again.......

2.Installed again Boot,Recovery,Cust,System.img via Fastboot

3.Factory Reset again

4.Install B112 UPDATE.APP

I know it, you have to do it often,

but eventually it works
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Maybe install the Universal cust between step 3 and 4.

Flash twrp,

install Uni cust112,

flash recovery-112,

Marshmallow on X2

How do we get the official Marshmallow build ?

What do we have to have installed to get the OTA build from Huawei ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
just wait until 1234 Bark upload.

Bark 1234 beta tester and receive the updates via OTA from Huawei.

Only Beta testers get it.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
B209 is bigger than 1Gb , so I think we can update from B112 by local update (uppdate.app).

Have you the B209 Update on it?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Just wanted to point out that installing B205 then B209 by way of Power+VolUp+VolDown does not work.

Here is what I tried:

1.)

WHAT: As described, unzip and put update.app on /dload

RESULT: Update process appears to work, reboots the phone, but nothing actually happens (still on B205)

2.)

WHAT: Please update.zip as-is as the only file under /dload

RESULT: Update process starts, but hangs at 5%

3.)

WHAT: Unzip update.zip and put all its contents under /dload

RESULT: Update process starts, but hangs at 5%

4.)

WHAT: repeated #1 above by putting /dload on internal memory as opposed to SD card

RESULT: Update process appears to work, reboots the phone, but nothing actually happens (still on B205)

Back to the drawing board I guess.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
I think better to wait to Official Update and we have no Problems
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
But you were able to update b205 by update.app method ?

You were not rooted and system was not edited before applying b209 ?

Also i always install myself before posting zip here. i am on b209.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
If you don't have a 703 model, the 'about phone' info will not be updated correctly.

So it could be that you are nevertheless on the new version.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
because I've just time I thought I try it once with the B209.

Ok,i am on B112 Stock with root and Twrp.

I Flashed all the img files via Fastboot from B112 to unroot and make Factory Reset.

By 100% to make sure copy the B112 to dload Folder an flash the B112 UPDATE.APP and make again a Factory Reset.

I copy the B205 in dload Folder and flash it via Local Update,it works.

Ok,then copy the B209 in dload Folder and install via the three Buttons-Update Failed.

I test in external und internal Memory-Update Failed.

I make again a Factory Reset and install the B209 again-Update Failed

I Relock the Bootloader an test it-Update Failed

I Unlock the Bootloader and install B209-Update-Failed.

The only thing that works,if you unzipped the update and flash the UPDATE.APP but in Systeminfo is B205

So 2 hours for nothing.

It is very strange that the last 2 updates(B208,B209) no longer work,or Huawei has built a protective so it really can test and install only beta testers

Hi [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION], any news about a 6.0 edition of the Simply Google rom (maybe based on B209)?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
When I get my hands on the full B209 we will have one.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
So this means you are on B209 now?

And system info "about phone" is correct?

And what is your hardware model?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] marco.minetti:
Great! I've been able to flash B208 and B209 modded update.zip files (editing the update-script: removing the first and the last lines) through TWRP and UPDATE.APP through original recovery... The system starts the "Optimizing system..." phase but stucks on 100% and on reboot I get black screen without boot logo... Now I'm back to B112...

Do you know anything I can do to logcat the boot during "Optimizing system" process? Could that process be managed through "post-install" scripts that should be patched?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'm really not sure. Wait till the full B209 comes out, then you'll be able to do the dload method to update.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
I think B112 is the best in terms of speed and battery life which do not exist in B205.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
I'm on GEM-703L. It still shows as beta with all the huawei beta club junk as well.

Was rooted. I restored to factory B109, then updated via local update.zip. Its the B205 -> B209 bit that's not working.

I also just did a factory wipe, and when i try either the UPDATE.APP or update.zip 3 finger salute (volup+voldown+power) update for B209 and it

either

a.) hangs at 5% if the USB cable is plugged in

or

b.) Fails with a "software update failed" message is the USB cable is unplugged.

I just tried going back to B112 (flashed recovery and system) but now the phone is stuck on the android splash screen. Looks like I may have bricked the device. I can't seem to be able to get it into either recovery or bootloader either :(
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Bro you cannot got from b205 to b209. you have to goto b208 to goto b209.

secondly there is a process to revert back to android 5.1 if you are on android 6. read through the first post properly.

now try this :

-press vol down and boot together, see if it goes to fastboot.

or

- connect phone to computer, see if u see device in adb devices. run adb reboot bootloader.

Once you are in fastboot, you can install twrp recovery. then in twrp recovery. see process to downgrade in first post.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I think he asked because in the OP it says to update to B209 you have to be on B205.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
oops sorry. that was a typing mistake. corrected it now. please follow the method mentioned to recover d3vice.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Thanx for pointing that out. I actually did *try* the process but since I cannot get into fastboot in the first place, this is not posible.

I CAN get into huawei recovery but its not useful. it only offer Davlick cache erase, and factory wipe (tried both to no avail). I already checked for both adb and fastboot (adb devices and fastboot devices) but the phone does not get picked up at all.

Also, TWRP comes only in an .img file, which cannot be flashed unless I'm in fastboot. If it came in an UPDATE.app I can at least try it.

Also when I "attempted" to downgrade to B112 (before the phone went kaputz) I had flashed recovery.img and system.img out of the UPDATE.app for the B112 build)

Any other ideas?

Correct. If I manage to unbrick the device I'll try the B112 -> B205 -> B208 -> B209 route.

Is there a way to force-install TWRP via either an update.zip (3 finger salute) or an UPDATE.app (3 finger salute) as opposed to bootloader/fastboot?

Any help would be much appreciated
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
did you try to install huawei's B112 witj 3 finger salute ? just asking

can you try fastboot with volDown+boot button 2-3 times. it happened with me earlier too, that fastboot doesnot boots in some attempts.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Ok by some miracle I got it to go into bootloader. I promprtly flashed TWRP. However, when I try to boot into recovery, I still get stock "eRcovery" which is all in Chinese.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You're booting into TWRP after you flashed it by unplugging the USB cable and holding in power + volume up right?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Got TWRP to boot by flashing it (TWRP) into recovery2 (note the '2' at the end). I even went as far as flashing a ROM (stock rooted 5.1.1). However, now I traded one problem for the next. Now it hangs on a different splash screen (honor powered by android)

:crying:
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
- Goto TWRP,

- wipe system(must), data, cache.

- install twrp installable zip rom, like ajsmsg78's B112.

edit : let me know if you did above only.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
NIce! That appears to have worked. Now I need to claw my way back into a state without TWRP, so that i can get the OTA update for 6.0

Oh and I owe you a coffee or something. Let me know if/when you're ion the Seattle area :D :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Gr8. once you are on ajsmsg78's B112, simply install stock B112 by putting in dload/update.app (3 finger salute one). You will get huawei's update for 6.0 here in future.

If you still have energy left for experiments and don't want to wait for huawei 6.0 push, install B205, then B208 and then B209. You will be on stock non beta 6.0.

then root, install xposed whatever you want again :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Good news and bad news. Stock rooted 5.1.1 has a critical issue (phone reboots when accessing settings menu). KangVIP seems to fare better. However, can you please guide me on getting to a state where I can receive the 6.0 OTA? Obviously it would involve getting rid of TWRP and returning to some version of stock but I'm not sure WHICH version of stock.

Thanx

PS: 3 finger salute doesn't appear to work any more. goes straight to TWRP.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
To use the 3 finger dload your must install recovery.img before that. It can not work, of you have installed TWRP. Goo in fastboot and type Fastfood flash recovery.img (after seeking Easter eggs)

i am not sure if its true. i have always added stock update.app in dload and i had twrp recovery. it installed successfully overwriting twrp recovery too.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
No,i have many Reboots after Downgrade from B205 to B112,the Universal Cust helps fast when you go back to B112.

This what you say:Flash U.Cust,flash stock Recovery and install B112 Update.App,No Reboots and B112 work without any Problem

Phoneinfo is correct.

My Model is GEM 703L
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
[MENTION=387718]shassouneh[/MENTION] was asking why the device booted into TWRP instead of dload when booting with "3 Finger" Vol-, Vol+, and Power".

This proceure calls the application which is flashed in the recovery partion. And only if there was installed one of the original Huawei "recovery.img" the 3 finger method would lead into the dload process.

TWRP seems not to support the 3 finger boot.

Maybe if you start dload via EMUI it works if you are on TWRP. But this might depend on the USB connection.

If you press Vol+ and Powert TWRP only starts if the device is not connected.

If the device is USB connected "EMUI eRecovery" starts instead of TWRP.

So even if you have TWRP installed some parts of the Huawei Recovery remain. Maybe the EMUI update process worked for you because you were connected via USB.

Nomally we have to flash the Huawei recovery.img to get the full support for dload including the factory reset and formatting intenal SD.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Thanx for the tip.

Unfortunately it looks like the hardware itself got bricked. I tried with KangVIP and stock rooted and both have lots of random reboots. For example, if i click on settings it reboots. Sometimes when I swipe right or left on the home screen to go through the icons, it reboots, and so forth. I wish the X3 was out. I'd hate to spend on an X2 at the moment
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
I have yesterday the same Sh..

Go to the Bootloader and flash all img Files from B112 via fastboot(Boot,Cache,Cust,System,Userdata )But no Recovery,rather TWRP

When ready to Boot into TWRP

Flash Universal Cust Link in TWRP and reboot into Bootloader and flash the Huawei Original Recovery.img

Reboot and Power off.

Hold Volume+ and Power and until it into Huawei recovery boots.

Make in Recovery a Factory Reset

Copy the B112 Update.App in dload Folder in internal Memory and flash this via Local Update or Power Off the X2 and install the B112 Update.app via the Three Buttons(Vol-and Vol+ and Power Button press at same Time and wait to installing the Update)

it is a bit complicated but it works 100%

This works yesterday for me and no Reboots more
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Your device is not bricked. If it was hard-bricked you would not even be able get into any recovery whatsoever. Simply wipe EVERYTHING and reflash FULL stock image as stated in previous posts.

Edit: Also sounds like it might be bad cache, you can try to wipe just cache and dalvik to test before full flashing. After first boot leave it alone for a couple of min.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

I'm glad TWRP doesn't support "3 Finger" button sequence. What if a kid plays with the phone and presses the buttons all of which are conveniently located right next to each other? Stupid if you ask me!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Still no dice. Here is what I did so far:

1.) went into bootloader and flashed the following (in order):

a.) boot

b.) cache

c.) cust

d.) system

e.) userdata

f.) TWRP 5.1.1

2.) Booted into TWRP. Flashed Universal Cust B112

3.) Boot into bootloader, flash recovery.img (note: I did NOT flash recovery2.img at this point. See step 5 below)

4.) Attempted to boot into recovery. TWRP booted instead!

5.) reboot into bootloader

a.) flash recovery.img

b.) flash recovery2.img

6.) aboot into recovery (it worked this time)

7.) Factory wipe (the menu's were all chinese and it said eRecovery)

8.) Reboot

9.) Do a 3-finger salute based on an update.app I managed to put on the sd card (under dload folder)

10.) boot into the OS

Phone now boots the OS and "appears" to be stable but until I manage to puyt google services on it and test it I have to assume its of a shady status. Also given the confusion with the recovery I'm not sure it could handle an OTA update.

Thoughts?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
On step 9: which version did you pour into dload folder?

Did the 'Software installing' run 0-100% without error message? How long did it take and did it promt ' success' at the end?

On step 3: did you get success or error message? Can you give us the filesize and Date of the recovery and recovery2?

On step 4 and 7: did you unplug USB before rebooting?

I would do a factory reset from emui and install the Simply Google 112 which includes Google services. Then you could test, if your device is sane or not.
