Does EMUI 4.0 look any different? My Nexus 7 got upgraded from 5.1 to 6.1 and there's not much difference that I can tell? :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
You have to do a dirty update from the local update menu with the b112 rom. Then come back and intall the 6.0 from the same place and you should be good to go after that. That way you want loose any of your programs or call or text history if you don't use hicloud.

Someone is having trouble receiving calls this beta? If I leave the 4G enabled, I do not receive calls.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Not really. I actually like 3.1 better than 4.0. There really isn't all that much difference.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] omniphil:
How about as far as Android goes... Anything better with 6.0 on the X2?

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Don't bother with 6.0 right now. There are bugs and it's not finished. There are no benefits right now to upgrading.

Tried flashing back to simply google B112.. installs fine but can't get at the updater to flash the Android 6 update.zip... Is there another way of flashing the 6 update or getting at the stock updater which is what I need... Thanks and have a gr8 day guys :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] tbatliner:
As far as I can tell battery life is great, as before.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You have to be on complete stock B112.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elio321:
What do I need to flash to get back to compete stock B112 ? as I have been flashing the B112 stock ROM also and I still can't get at the updater... After flashing I still don't have the stock updater in it...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
Install the stock Recovery, after that flash back the stock B112, and you should be good to go.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elio321:
How do i install the stock recovery ? and can I flash my TWRP backup from there if I need to restore ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You need to fastboot flash the stock B112 img files. Boot, cache, cust and system but don't flash the recovery just yet. After you flash them boot into TWRP and flash the B112 cust mod zip file. Then reboot back into fastboot and flash the stock B112 recovery. When it boots up do a factory reset in Settings. Then you should be on complete stock B112.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elio321:

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
Which version phone do you have? 701l 702l or 703l
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elio321:
703L
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Gibbon_999:
+1

The install on my 703L doesn't get any further than about 8% of the install.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elio321:
Exactly the same for me... 8% install then crash why ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
If you download the full b112 and install from pressing power and volume +- and then install the update.zip from incremental updates, then it should work find. That's the cant go wrong way. For each install put the dload folder at the base of the phone not the memory card. If it fails something is wrong. For the update don't unpack the zip to get the update.app file, rename the zip to update.zip and put it into the download folder. Incremental are zips and must be installed while phone actively running from the update menu in settings.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Gibbon_999:
Got it working - I needed to flash the actual stock B112 OEM rom ( update.app 2.8GB - stored in Internal Storage - dload directory ) - not the one linked in this thread ( STOCK_B112_ROOTED_DEBLOATED_GAPPS.zip ) - that's when it would stop at 8%.

I put the update.app file into dload in Internal Storage, and then flashed the OEM recovery.img - this then allowed me to boot into EMUI recovery, which found the update.app and installed it. The KangVIP Ultra Slim ROM doesn't appear to have a manual update option.

TWRP and superSU all ok.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yeah, because you need to be on complete stock to update. My Stock B112 rooted debloated gapps isn't 100% stock so it would fail. Always fastboot flash, factory reset, then dload back to the last rom you were on before updating to a newer rom. This will always ensure that you are 100% stock.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
The major issue that i was facing was problems with dpi change in this rom.

- wm density didn't worked

- build.prop edit worked till you touch display > display size.

- "set persist.sys.dpi" from su command prompt worked.

But dpi change didn't bring out tablet UI. Every thing was small but in mobile UI only. it was so inconvenient for me that i decided to switch back to 5.1

Also there are multiple hwdefault.xml and local.prop. one in /data/, /system/, /system/etc, /system/global etc. little confusing.

Btw i was able to get google now ontap working.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
How did you get now on tap to work
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=en and you can setup a gesture to trigger google now ontap.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
I figured out what was causing my problem with Now to Tap(it was greyed out in google app). I had to go into apps and then defaults and change the default voice app from google to none and then back to google and that fixed it.

We should have Marshmallow hopefully within the next two weeks. I don't want to do the beta because then I have to upgrade my X2 to the Beta again which I'm avoiding since Marshmallow should be officially out soon. If you wanna flash the B205 beta and don't sign into any of your accounts then zip /system and /cust and send it to me I'll try and cook something up with the Beta.

That was what happened to my x2. What I did is that after fastboot flashing boot, cache, cust, recovery, system and userdata images from B112, I immediately factory reset my x2. Then once its done reseting, go to the updater app and install the b205 via local update in the updater app.

NOTE: Make sure you have the B205 update.zip in dload folder of an sd card first beforehand as after a while the phone will start restarting in which case you would have to do the flashing of the .img files again.

On the Mate 8 to do full updates you make the dload folder on the internal storage then put the update.app file in the folder then hold in vol up + vol down + power to force flash.

Here is guide, how to downgrade from B205 to B112. No warranty, it was tested only by me.

Requirements:

- working fastboot and adb (worrking usb driver, fastboot+adb binaries on PC)

- extracted BOOT.IMG, CUST.IMG, RECOVERY.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG, USERDATA.IMG from full B112 update on PC (use Huawei Update Extractor)

- full B112 UPDATE.APP in dload folder in internal phone card (or on sdcard)

- phone with adb enabled (Developer options - USB debugging enabled) and plugged with cable to PC

- original B205 recovery or TWRP 5.1.1 recovery

- basic flashing knowleges and many luck

Steps:

1) factory reset B205 from recovery

- boot to recovery: command "adb reboot recovery" from PC or hold volume+ while rebooting

- choose Factory reset option in recovery

2) flash main B112 images from fastboot

- boot to fastboot: command "adb reboot bootloader" from PC or restart to bootloader option from TWRP

- test if fastboot is working: command "fastboot devices" from PC (USB cable MUST be plugged into PC and phone)

- fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG

- fastboot flash cust CUST.IMG

- fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG

- fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG (be patient, take some time, 2-3 minutes)

- fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.IMG

- fastboot reboot

3) perform the additional updates to B112 (don't forget to have a full B112 UPDATE.APP in "dload" folder on phone card)

- reboot to Updater program - hold Volume+/- (both) while reboot - update start automatically

---

It seems that step 3 is unnecessary. But not for me. The first restart after step 2 was OK, but next restart resulted unstable behavior and spontaneous phone restarts after few seconds of use. Only step 3 solved the unstable behavior of the phone.

Still i don't have working Wi-Fi on 5 GHz, 2,4 GHz working fine. Same like on B205.

Sorry for my bad english.
