Thanks for the suggestion.

I can easily go back to 112 cause I made a backup through TRWP at the right moment.

Anyway I can't follow your instructions to get to b209.

I've downloaded b209 from http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/general/mediapad-x2-firmware-702l-703l-t3168925

and I've saved the full update.zip in the dload folder on my sd card.

When I select the local update it restarts and goes straight on TRWP (as I was holding power and vol +)

From there I don't know where to get.

Also I don't know where to get the KangVip 212. Sorry I've been looking around in the forum but I got lost.

Can you help me with this? Otherwise I might go back to B111nearstock

I tried also to get to KangVip Slim B211 reported here http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/development/rom-kangvip-5-1-1-b108-t3215851

But to be fair:

it's pretty vague.

I have TWRP 6 saved

I have 209 and 211 both saved

What's the process then?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Sorry it was typo. Not 212, but kang VIP 211 is the last. I prefer 209, because i need xposed which has a bug in 211

Restoring TWRP backup is not enough. It did not work for me also.

I reported about this.

You must flash b112 recovery.img before dload.

This is why your device boots into TWRP.

Dload b112 and Reset in EMUI

Then dload the update.zip which is offered as incremental update in EMUI, if you had cooped it into dload folder.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Ross Kay:
Brilliant! Worked just fine.

I got to 209 then flashed the Kanvip209.

Magic! Only concern so far is the theme I have. Looks the old android. Trying to put back icons from the store but nothing changes.

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks a lot for your support!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] H.Hussein.H:
i was on 701L B001

converted to 703L B112

now i know there is a storage error and the tutorial said it will be fixed in the future !!

the biggest problem for me now .. i cant find the play store ...

i have Chinese apps..

and when i check for update OTA it takes less than a second and there is no update ...

i think i am kinda lost now ..

the tutorial you made is very good but there is something messing for ...

after the the b112 should i flash a custom rom like king VIP or simply google ???

there is now way to upgrade to android 6 stock rom ??

can i intsall the google play and add my google account ???

i will flash the near stock B111 then i will give you an update..
[Huawei MediaPad X2] H.Hussein.H:
here's what happened to mee ...

i didnt install the near stock b111.. instead i decied that i want to get back to my stock b001 which i made a back up for it in TWRP

first i did a factory reset then copied the TWRP back folder to the internal storage

rebooted into TWRP restored the stock rom b001

rebboted then i figured out that there is some settings and stuff wasn't in my stock rom

and the storage problem is the same !!

.. anyway i relaxed a little .. they i connected the phone to my PC and then .. my phone dosent charge ...

i got mad .. then i thought there is noway .. i cant risk the phone discharge maybe i cant turn it on again ..

after that really quickly diceded that i should go again and flash the b112 follow the instructions

flashed the cust then the image then the user datete etc etc etc

rebooted the phone .. and stuck on bootloop ...

i know i was stupid and terrified .. but what should i do now ???
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
We have warned several times to return to Android 5.0, because you will loose the ability to charge.

I was also in this trap like you.

You must quickly go back to 5.1.1 to get it charging again.

Your way back was almost right.

I hope you have backed up your data on external sd

You must do a factory reset on TWRP. with a TWRP 5.0 version

Then install universal cust B112 (version number will be displayed 112, but this is only a text. This file contains "cust" configurations for all devices and works on all versions)

Then flash from version B106 the files system.img, userdata.img, boot.img and recovery.img.

Put update.app from B106 to dload folder

unplug device from USB and turn off the device by pressing power key long

Press all 3 keys until device starts.

Release power and the other 2 keys when "software installing" starts.

After this is complete (don't worry abot error message at 98 % )

If it fails on lower %, repeat it.

After start of B106, then do a factory reset on running android EMUI menu including format internal SD

After next start you can OTA update up to B112.

Install TWRP for 5.11. and install the univeral cust B112 again

Then copy the update.zip of B209 to dload folder.

Flash the recovery.img from B112 to the recovery version .

If you don't have it yo can easy use the new tool from our friend Letschky

http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/general/mediapad-x2-gem-703l-easy-stock-t3173506

Then you can perform the update.zip to B209 (Android 6.0)

After this flash TWRP 6.0 and AJ's B211 via TRWP

the B106 rom link isn't working .. can i use b015 instead ?

or does anyone hove another link ??

i googled it and i couldn't find anything in english

the link worked via tor ...

i cant believe that .. china is torturing me
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
no don't flash the B015

you must use a 5.1.1 ROM to get back charging again.

Seems Huawei has removed the B106 from the server.

I will upload it to google drive tomorrow. it will take a while.

Try the update.app from the B112. Put it into dload folder .

This will work together with the recovery.img from B112

you must flash this with the command: fastboot flash recovery B112recovery.img
[Huawei MediaPad X2] H.Hussein.H:
thank you ...

u dont have to upload it agian ...

still downloading it via "Tor"

they just banned the other countries to access their server ..

i've got another question while still downloading..

i think that the file contain only system.img,

the other userdata.img, boot.img and recovery.img i dont think i will find them in the zip file .. am i right ??

[Huawei MediaPad X2] H.Hussein.H:
here's what happened..

installed 5.1.1 recovery then installed kang VIP 209 wiped rebooted then ..

stuck at mediapad screen ..

ignored it for too long nothing changed .. then i decided to install B211 even i couldn't boot the b209

bootload then installed TWRP 6 then installed KANG VIP 211 nothing changed .. stuck with mediapad x2 screen ..

then installed 5.1.1 TWRP .. then wiped and factory reset and installed 209 again .. stuck with mediapad x2 screen ..

whyyyy ????
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
As I understand you got a successfull running B112?

If yes, the next step would have been to go to the Android 6.0 thread. All files are linked there.

I wrote to perform the dload process to the B209 via the Update.zip and then AJ's kangVip209 or kangvip211

But you skipped the huawei Update dload and installed kangvip

This is why the system is not starting.

Go to the 6.0 thread. There are solutions already described, how to come out of this.

Maybe it is sufficient to flash TWRP 5.1

Then install universal cust 112

Then flash 112recovery

and Dload the B112 again with 3 button press.

Start the system and do minimal configuration

For save I recommend then a factory reset via running b112 menu (not from TWRP) including format internal sd.

Then copy 209 update.zip (do not unzip) to dload folder.

Select incremental update from EMUI menu (not full update)

on b209 do minimal configuration.

Then install TWRP 6.0

Then install kang VIP 211

[Huawei MediaPad X2] the-bunker:
I've been on this build for a couple of months now & suddenly I started getting warnings that the adblocker was causing issues, & noticed in chrome browser that some websites showed the url bar in a translucent red or orange - like a warning ?

Then when I rebooted the phone a few days ago, it took ages to complete the reboot as there was a lots of apps upgraded (not my choice) & suddenly I had a new lock screen imposed on me - called Fast charging & the only way I could get rid of it was to stop Kingroot from auto-running (I tried to uninstall but all it did was revert to an older version). Before stopping Kingroot I used it to clean the ad blocker & uninstall it.

Then a new app appeared out of the blue, in chinese writing which translated as Tencent Mobile Housekeeping - so I have uninstalled that, but I have to say I'm worried now that my phone has got some malware & I wonder what is going to happen next...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Goto the 6.0 211 thread and install a fresh rom :

do huaweibackup , flash 4 files for b112

. Dload update.app Stock 112 , add then the update.zip to 209 (select incremental update) or 211 stock

Then install TWRP 6.0 and aj's 211

So you get rid of Kingroot ad these problems.

Internal SD card storage is small

Hi! I have tried to follow as closely as possible steps in this thread, so I "changed" successfully my GEM-701L to GEM-703L B111 (Android 5.1.1 with root). Everething is working fine :), but I have small internal SD card storage - only 3.86 GB instead of 16 GB. I believe that I have miss some step, but I don't know which step it could be. How can I increase this partition to normal amount? I want to upgrade to Android 6 later, so do I need to fix it now, or it will be fixed somehow during upgrade to Android 6? Thank you :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Simply Goto EMUI factory reset and check the option to format the internal sd.

Before that copy the content to external sd and flash stock recovery.img from b111 or b112.

Then install 5.11 TWRP on recovery2: fastboot flash recovery2 TWRP.img (correct name to the filename you use)

Start TWRP with vol up key and connected usb

Install universal cust mod 112 and then boot to system.

Take ota to b112 and then immediately do manual update whit b211 update.zip (do not unpack) on EMUI firmware update menu.

Then you are on 6.0 and can install TWRP on recovery2 and KangVIP 211.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
This is or Firmware collection thread

And the file you were asking need

B211 update.zip

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
It is not necessary to have 211 installed. You can also install AJ KangVIP on a 209 stock. There is no difference on the result.

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] J05EPH:
Thank you, again :)

I am in the step "Take ota to b112". But in EMUI updater there is No Update... Also I have checked through HiSuite, it says I am using latest official version (namely: GEM-703LV100R001C233B111-SIMPLYGOOGLE).

May I skip this step and directly do manual update to B211?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
No, the update requires 112.

Install the 112 via dload

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Oops, you installed simply google111?

Then you must flash back to stock 111 via flashing boot, system and recovery from 111 and then local update comes available to select full update to 112.

Then run local firmware patitional update , who's is the update.zip.

So put both files inside the dload folder.

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] J05EPH:
Interesting. I just did dload with B112 update.app and then simply local update through emui to B211 (update.zip). ...and it works. I am typing right now from this upgraded X2 :)

I have only one problem with density, but I explained it in other thread. All other stuff is working :cowboy: ...or at least I have not found other issue for now.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thgxda:
ok I have an 701L with B003 (Android 5.0), so this should be for me!

I have done this successfully before, after that I installed SuperSU and Titanium Backup to check, if root was available.

I've done this too, but in addition I deleted also the internal storage, there is nothing I want to have restored.

This was done correctly too.

Some minutes would be fine, but I waited for 45min, the I stopped it and started it again, without any success:

./fastboot devices
K3Q6R15Cxxxxxxxx	fastboot
./fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'boot' (23372 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.984s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.574s]
finished. total time: 1.558s
./fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
^C
./fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img

So don't know the current status now!

What should I try to do now?

EDIT:

OK, I stopped it again and rebooted the tablet, what was no problem, as expected it still is "GEM-701L........B003", root is still there.

Again I rebooted into TWRP Recovery, cleaned cache and Dalvik again and installed "universal-cust-b112" once more. Then I rebooted in "fastboot&rescue mode", the "BOOT.img" installs, the "SYSTEM.img" not - I checked the md5 before.

Thanks a lot,

kind regards thgxda
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Type: ls -l

to see if the file system.img is inside the adb folder. Maybe the fastboot command is casesensitive on your system.

If it's present and still won't work, reinstall newer adb version. System.img is a big file and older versions of adb could not handle with.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] thgxda:
Hi audioralf,

thank you very much for the answer!

the file is there and you are correct, it might be quite old "Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31" but there never was a need to upgrade :)

Kind regards,

thgxda
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thgxda:
OK, one more step forwards, I used my other laptop and was able to install the new system, after a reboot I got "GEM-703L .... B112" but it still say "Android 5.0".

So next step would be 4a, good hint: you have to unzip the "GEM-703L_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_V100R001C233B112.zip" and copy the "dload"-folder to "/storage/sdcard0/", maybe it can be copied to the external SD-card too, I haven't tried this.

But now I am able to update the ROM the firmware, the system reboots, software-install starts, the percentage goes up to 95%, then it stops an I get "Software install failed!" - I do not know if this results in any problems.

After a reboot, Android installs it's updates, the tablet still works and now, remember: did you have read the whole instructions before doing the update???

If not, don't be shocked if your tablet looses CPU, memory, resolution and runs on Android 4.3, this will be corrected soon with the installation of the "NearStockB111" :)

After doing that, I'm finally on 5.11 on the lock-screen and when I swipe up, I still have some Chinese letters I don't get rid of. And in "phone memory" it tells me that only 2,52 GB are free from 32 GB in total???

So next step will be Android 6.0 ...

Thanks a lot,

kind regards,

This issue has been asked- manny times and also answered.

You have to do a factory reset including format internal sd!

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
For reset install recovery.img.

Dload b112 and directly start update.zip for b212 via local update EMUI firmware update menu.

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thgxda:
what problem did you mean?

This one "Software install failed!" or the problem with the Chinese characters?

At least I have deleted everything with TWRP, means all data including internal sd.

I can't remember if I made a factory reset from within Android itself, but all data was gone ...

Thanks, kind regards,

thgxda
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
The reset on b015 prevents the abort on 95%. But this doesn't matter. The reset and format sd on b106 or b112 solves the problem with size on sd. Universal cust solves the version mismatch on the about phone info.

So simply do the reset on your current version b112 and continue with dload update.zip to b211. do not install universal cust again on this step.

Always do the reset from EMUI and not from TWRP. Chinese characters cab be removed via KangVIP menu

[Huawei MediaPad X2] thgxda:
Seems that you should not use the UPDATE.img from the very beginning of these thread, if you do so, you will end up in a boot loop. You have to install TWRP 5.1.1 to get out of it.

Instead use the one from the B112.zip from the link below. Anyway I got an error when trying to do a factory reset, but finally it seemed to work, the size of the storage now is correct.

Not that easy, but finally successful.

First, I went for this thread: http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/development/how-to-update-b112-to-b209-android-6-0-t3360279

But for doing the first steps, you need the IMGs for B112, you get them here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66439947&postcount=10

The CUST.img does not exist in the above zip-file and can not be used for the 701L and 702L, instead you have to install the "UNIVERSAL-CUST-B112.zip" - it seems, that this also can be done via the fastboot-command?

Now boot into Android and install the "UPDATE.APP" you placed in "/storage/sdcard0/dload" on the internal sdcard from the "GEM-703L_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_V100R001C233B112.zip" via the update-function in the settings.

After the reboot, remove the "UPDATE.APP" and put the "update.zip" you downloaded at 6. to the dload-folder. This one brings you to Android 6.0 after installed with the update-function in the settings.

Last steps are installing TWRP for Android 6.0 and the KangVIP-ROM: http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/development/rom-kangvip-5-1-1-b108-t3215851

Thanks a again for all the support,

[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Good you were successfully.

I didn't imagine that people could think that update.app is a universal app. By writing update.app for b112 I mean the file from b112 installation package, which includes all components.

It's Huaweis idea always use the same filename.

Not all advises here in forum are excact. It's not necessary to flash cust.img if you install universal cust on the next step. It's also documentated to install this via TWRP. This has a button 'Install' , so this is a difference to fastboot flash.

But indeed after a time a guide on post 1 becomes aged, and should be revised. It's time to remove the steps to install the 5.11 kangvip, because all people want to go directly to 6.0.

I will give the guide an update the next days.
