I put B112's UPDATE.APP onto the dload folder.

The 3 finger salute appeared to have worked from 0 to 100% without issue and auto rebooted.

recovery.img 33,130,496 bytes Jan 17 2016

recovery2.img 33,130,496 bytes Jan17 2016

Also step 3 completed without issue but was only useful when I flashed BOTH recovery and recovery2. Otherwise TWRP stuck around.

As for steps 4/7 I left the USB cable plugged in at all times to make it easier to boot into bootloader if/when necessary

Note: The files appear to be identical but for some reason are named as such in the UPDATE.APP itself. I also had to flash BOTH to recovery and recovery2 partitions respectively for things to work

I agree partially about 3 finger salute. I think the device owner bears some onus to use the device responsibly and also supervise a kid. There is also some obvious usefulness to the 3 finger salute, and any device should have a way for the user to manipulate the software in dire situations.

This process worked for me (with minor modification. I OWE YOU A COFFEE! :)

Nice! I can't wait to get my hands on it! :)

You guys are awesome and saved me out of a jam. I cannot express my gratitude explicitly enough. next time you're in Seattle, ping me and I'll invite you for coffee

(sorry i don't drink alcohol)]

Quick Question, does anyone know if B209 can be rooted in the same way as B112 or does 6.0 block it? The reason I ask is I don't typically believe in custom ROMs, so I'd rather jump to B209 if/when available then root to remove all that Huawei junk preloaded on the phone.

Thanx
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
[MENTION=387718]shassouneh[/MENTION] we can not root B209 that way.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I guess you were booting into recovery via command fastboot reboot recovery.

This seems to start one of the 2 recoverys.

In my guide you always find to unplug usb and to press vol+ with power key . Then it would boot into normal recovery.

If you plug usb I guess then recovery2 will be started.

On 'fastboot reboot recovery' command it seems to boot always a modified recovery program. This was TWRP in your case.

On emui Software update it seems also use the recovery2 partition, because people said that they were able to dload with resident TWRP. I guess ago this depends on having USB plugged our not.

Seems you can only get rid of this via fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img. Or you unplug USB and start with vol+.

Maybe TWRP makes itself a copy in recovery2, because you reported that it was still present after fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

So these image files are identical , but reside in different partitions. Both include the e recovery and the software installer and the firmware reset and sd formatter.

Are you a Beta Tester or is this Offical Ota Update?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
In fact I have already registered beta tester but I am not sure if I have been approved yet.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] H.Hussein.H:
Received nothing ..
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
That update requires stock B112 and is for 703 only.

And we have no verification that it is rolled out for non beta testers yet.

I will wait for ajsmsg78 making a Rom with Google Playstore and supersu.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
This is a good Idea a new Rom with Android 6 from ajsmsg78 with Google Playstore and root...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Well at 5.1.1 update would indeed done quietly and suddenly it was officially
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
OK I was feeling adventurous so I upgraded from B112 to B205 via the update zip (that worked fine), then I upgraded via 3 finger salute from 205 to 208 (version still showed as B205 on the phone though) and now I tried B208 -> B209 (version still shows as B205 with the Huawei beta club junk).

To recap

1.) Boot B112

2.) COpy B205 update zip to SDcard /dload and rename it to update.zip

3.) Use updater local update to update to B205

4.) Wait for B205 to finish and boot (it did just fine)

5.) Extract UPDATE.APP from B208 zip, and place in SD card /dload folder (make sure its the only file in there)

6.) Power off

7.) 3-finger salute update (this appeared to work to 100% and the phone rebooted back to the OS)

8.) Repeat steps 5 to 7 but for B209

9.) Boot the OS

The OS Build number still shows as GEM-703LC233B205-log.

Any idea what I'm missing here?

PS: I'm on a GEM-703L

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I flashed directly from B112 to B209 and it flashed successfully on my 702L. I just put together the B209 cust mod and will be coming out with a rom this weekend most likely. If you converted your 701L or 702L to a 703L it will still say you're on B112 or whatever you were on last. For example, I own a 702L and even after converted to a 703L it still pulls the cust information from the cust/hw/spcseas folder, thus the need for the cust mod. I am also fixing it so it automatically installs systemless root.

Someone needs to try flashing it while still on B112 and let me know if it works. If not, you have to update to B209 first through OTA. In the TWRP thread I updated the TWRP to say 6.0.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mcdhol_24:
I tried reverting from B205 (i.e. flashing those img and resetting) to B112 to flash the B209 incremental update. After few minutes on B112, my phone starts crashing and rebooting constantly. I also tried to flash the B209 update.zip while my phone is not restarting yet but it showed that the 'software version is incompatible'. I think my only option for now is to stick to B205 and wait for the full UPDATE.APP of any new update. :/
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
I am on B209 without root,i install the 5.1.1 trwp and make a Backup.ok.

I make a Factory Reset and install the Kangvip B209,not working.

I restore my backup from B209 and the x2 works.

I had the same Problem,

i flashed all the img without the original Recovery Files from B112

Reboot and works,Stockrom B112 without root.

Flash the Stock Recovery and Update.App works Perfect

Yes,i go yesterday back from 6.0 B209 to 5.1.1 B112

Redownload the rom. I fixed the updater-script shortly after I uploaded it last night and reuploaded the fixed version.

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

Yes, you have to do that if you're on stock and want to root. If you're flashing KangVIP Slim then there's no need to root as it's pre rooted already. I can probably fix the SuperSU zip file to force it to do a systemless root if you guys want.

Yep I did every options. Oh it has been a very long time now since I upgraded to 5.1. I installing the incremental updates from the emui 3.1 then when the b112 was fully available, I installed it and it was ok.

Eversince I went to B205, I kept on having problems downgrading and installing b112 update.app. I completely don't know what's wrong because I followed every steps but it is still failing. :/

Hey asj,

Thanks for letting us know. Do you know if there are any negatives about the final MM B211 version in comparison to B112 such as lags which were found in B209?

I definitely want to upgrade for benefits such as flexibility of permissions given to apps, but not at the cost of reduced customization, reduced battery life, or reduced speed.
