Always remove usb while dload.

unplug USB, will show message of failed dload.

Flash universal cust mod b112 before dload any Android 5.x versions.

No need to dload b003 if you follow these steps:

Flash b015 Boot.img System.img recovery img files

and TWRP 5.0 on recovery2 partition

fastboot flash recovery2 TWRP_ENG.img

Keep USB connected to start it with vol up key.

Install universal cust mod 112 in TWRP ,

wipe cache and dalvic

and select reboot.

Then System starts as B015.

Then do EMUI factory reset,

restart system

and start local update from EMUI

Then dload B106 works error free.

Start it once and delete update.app from dload folder and put in b112 update.app and B211 update.zip in dload Folder of external sd.

reboot to flash TWRP for 5.11

For TWRP, I think you can try the newest version. But indeed for 5.0 we need the old TWRP version.

Flashing TWRP on recovery 2 again remains original recovery which you need for reset on EMUI.

On B106 do reset from EMUI again including checkbox to format internal sd.

Then start TWRP with usb connected and vol up key.

Then install unicust mod 112 again and start system

On EMUI select local Update select full Update to dload b112

After this select local update and incremental update ' update.zip ' B211 for 6.0

[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Which TWRP version did you use on b106? I traditionally use this 5.11 TWRP, but assumed the newest would work.

After installing KangVIP there a 3 checkboxes to uncheck to remove Chinese lunar calendar. Look in KangVIP menu on desktop settings and notification bar settings.

Then enable developer settings and uncheck the option to enter password on lock screen.

If you used Huawei backup, don't restore Google apps and system apps like permission manager.

I'd like to install kangvip b211 on my huawei now, but i don't know how to move on...

My build number is GEM-703LC100R001C233B112 and my EMUI is 3.1 (Honor image ist on my start screen..)

Afaik i just have to

1) Put the B211-Update into the dload and install it

2) Install TWRP 6

3) Install KANGVIP B211

But Point 1 is already failing, when i try to install the update i got "error executing updater binary in zip"..

Hi, just bought a unlocked X2 with 702L. It has B003, Android 5.0.1, and emui 3.0.5.

Is there a post or guide here that details the differences between all the different builds? I've read references to many but can't seem to find what the actual differences are between builds....why is one better than the other? What benefit is there to using 703 instead of 702?

I'll be using the phone on Cricket in the USA. It should arrive in a few days and I wanted to determine what the best upgrade / ROM to load on it.

Many thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
703 b211 is Android 6.0 for China without Google playstore. Kangvip b211 version in our forum competes it for international usage and adds some nice features like double tap to wake.

702 model can be upgraded via OTA to B202 Android 6.0 including playstore and you'll get 'international b202 ' here including root.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Here it is from my googledrive: Universal cust

But you can also take the short way https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70323761&postcount=27

I have done this several times with 701 devices and it was much easier than the "old" way. The only thing is to get a clean reset at start.

If not you must find out why. Don't run the downgrade script on a corrupted system. This won't work. Be sure to be already unlocked and have standard recovery for your current version on recovery1 partiion.

If you have TWRP on recovery2 partition, you can leave it there, but you must replace it with TWRP 3.02 for Android 6.0 after update.

Some people tried this downgrade-scipt without been unlocked. It works on luck. But I warn: If something goes wrong you would not be able to repair this.

A locked bootloop device can not be unlocked to get out of the bootloop. But If you are unlocked and get a clean Reset by using the EMUI funktion for that, I can recommend this method.

In this case you don't need the universal.cust. Just do a factory reset on starting then the downgrade script and then the dload 702 updater to 6.0

Then you will be able to run the newest B212 KangVIP from AJ.

help.... I have Gem 701, was stock B003 rooted with twrp. Decided to install kangVip rom, but something went wrong. As description tells to install stock recovery but dont point anywhere how to do it, i was looking elsewhere and now ended with 1gb ram from 2, 4gb total memory, android 4.3 :D

Cant dload anythink, gives me errors.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] wiadrovit:
First time I attempted to root my x2, I ended up having a semi-brick. What brought my device back in business was to flash this firmware via stock EMUI recovery (hold PWR + VOL DOWN + VOL UP): http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=82783&version=325721&siteCode=nlen (It's EU B005)

Not sure if this is gonna help you, but trying shouldn't hurt (i'm no expert though so can't really tell). If you don't have stock recovery in place, you might extract the above firmware and flash recovery alone via fastboot.

Good luck.

Install twrp for 6.0 on recovery2, so you will not overwrite recovery.img from 6.0.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Which version did you use for the last the dload?

Open update.app with huawei update extractor and extract the recovery.img from it. This is necessary to repeat the dload.

If you had done dload for B202 and overwritten the recovery it with TWRP you can download original recovery B202 from my google drive

You must follow my advices. This will add the cust. And install the other languages.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] growbag:
Thanks audioralf :D

Thanks a million for the updated howto, I went through it with my completely virgin GEM-701 and it's now believing that it's a 702 with Android 6 KangVIP running perfectly :D.

Just a few remarks to make it easier -

1) When unlocking the bootloader, mine reported that it was already unlocked - this was a complete lie! I'd suggest running "fastboot oem unlock xxxx..." even if it does report that it's already unlocked - this avoids the dreaded "remote command not allowed" error from ADB. Funnily enough everything worked fine upto the point of installing TWRP when I started getting the "remote command not allowed" errors.

2) The "B202 full package (DEMO)" zip file has to be extracted first in order to find the "dload" folder.

3) Maybe make a list of files that need downloading at the top of the howto - saves a lot of time messing about later.

4) None of my SIM cards were recognised once I booted into KangVIP! After initial panic, luckily I noticed that "aeroplane mode" was switched on - once switched off everything was back to normal.

...and a few questions:

5) I backed up all my apps & stuff using the EMUI backup tool from the settings menu in Android v5 to an SD card, but can't find the tool in KangVIP to restore them. Where is it?

6) There's a really cool "App Settings" tool that supposedly allows one to change font size & DPI per app - but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a trick to it?

Thanks again for all your great work.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Shaolian:
Are you using the "KangVIP Slim" rom by ajsmsg78? And if so, are you using the latest version of the rom?

Also, make sure you're using App Settings ver. 1.13. For some apps (mostly system apps), the DPI change made in App Settings will only come into effect once we reboot our device.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] growbag:
Hello Shaolian.

I'm using KangVIP+Slim+B212+v2+(04-06-17).zip, downloaded from the link AudioRalf supplied on page one. AppSettings is version 1.13.

When I go into Settings->K-Settings->Xposed settings->Xposed settings, there's a big red exclamation mark and it says "Xposed framework is not installed", "could not load available zip files, pull down to try again".

When I "pull down", it shows:

Install/update - Version 87 (and a cloud symbol next to it)

Uninstall - Uninstaller (20160829) (and a cloud symbol next to it)

Your device -

Android 6.0 (Marshmallow API 23)

Huawei GEM 702L

arm64

There was also a warning that installing Xposed framework can lock the phone in a bootloop, so I'm a bit scared to click on anything!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Shaolian:
Oh, it seems that you've not install Xposed Framework yet. App Settings needs Xposed to be installed in order to work.

First, install Xposed (it'll do its thing, I've forgotten the exact steps, it may go into Recovery, but anyway it's all automated), after installation, activate App Settings in Xposed app, reboot again, and enjoy :)

Some apps like Chrome and Youtube might not function correctly in some specific DPIs. For example, Chrome would not show its "tabs" if we set any DPI between 260 and 320 (I think). DPI smaller than 260 will show tabs again, as Chrome reverts to "tablet" version. I'm personally using 250 DPI for Chrome.

Also, if we are altering the DPI of any System app (Play Store, Chrome, Settings app, etc), we need to reboot the phone for the change to come into effect.

Don't worry, Xposed shouldn't mess our phones. I'm using KangVIP Slim B212 v2 myself, and everything's running smoothly :o
[Huawei MediaPad X2] growbag:
Thanks for the info Shaolian, I'll give it a try next Friday (need my phone for work every day and if something goes wrong I'll be in big trouble!).

I ran into a few problems today and really could use some help with them if possible.

I used my satnav app today. Everything was working properly until after quitting the app and going back in, the reported speed stuck at 5kph although the map was moving and tracking my location as normal. I restarted the app (sygic) and it made no difference, then I turned GPS on/off and ran Sygic again - it was OK for a few minutes then it went back to 5kph. Something's not right there. Anyone else seen problems with GPS? I've never seen this before and I've been using the same app for over a year, 10 times a day - so I can't believe it's the app.

My next problem is with the lock screen - I need a security certificate for my work and that automatically enables the blasted pin code. With this new version the screen locks every time I close my smart cover, with android 5 it didn't do that. It's a real pain in the rear and having to enter a pin code 60 times a day is going to get old real fast. Is this an android 6 thing or KangVIP problem? Anyone know a way around the problem?

My last question is with SuperSU - it keeps bugging me to update and then asks me if I want to use Normal or TWRP/CWM mode - which one should I choose? PS I installed TWRP on recovery2, recovery1 still has the default thingy.

Thanks in advance :).

fight with Chinese characters

Hello,

I have carried out the installation according to the guidance of audioralf (update 2017-04-22). On the Mediapad the stock rom was installed before. The installation has - thanks to the good instructions - worked so far very well. Unfortunately, I have to fight in three places with Chinese characters.

1. On the lock screen

2. The Homescreen widget

3. In the notification history view

The points 1 and 2 I could solve by deactivating the following options under Settings -> K settings -> Lockscreen and desktop settings: "Lunar calenar" and "Desktop weather lunar".

To point 3. I unfortunately found no solution. Note: During installation, I selected German.

Does anyone know this phenomenon and has a hint for me how I can solve the problem?

Because I can't insert images or attachments you can find a few schreenshots in my Album "Screenshots" section, so you can see what I mean.

For your help I would be grateful

Common problem. After formatting internal SD (which will be done during process) the folder MagazineUnlock will be lost. If you install a chinese rom the picturers inclulde chinese characters. I have a copy of the picturees without the chiniese words and uploaded it here in the formum. Search forum for this.

Select the app "Desnigns" and select "Spectrum" as design.

Then you will have access to magazineUnlock as lockscreen.

Swipe from the bottom to to top to get access to the settings of the pictures which you want to show.

I searched the forum for your pictures, but I can not find them. I've found this thread "[HOW TO] Remove chinese from stock LockScreen (https://xdaforums.com/honor-6/themes-apps/how-to-remove-chinese-stock-lockscreen-t3014204) and edited the pictures accordingly.

However, this does not fix the problem with the notification bar (Swipe on top of te screen and select notifications [Benachrichtigungen]). See also my last picture "chinese characters # 05 notification history view" in my XDA album "Screenshots"

Can the problem be related to something other than the pictures?

Note: I write in the forum via a PC. Neither with IE, Firefox, nor Chrome I can attach files or link to them. I already post it in this thread "[Q] How do I add pictures to posts" https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1702891&page=6#post72594826
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
MagzineUnlock.zip unzip it on internal SD in no subdirectory and replace the existing pictures if you already have the folder magazineunlock.

This what you show on your Album Screenshot seems to be background picture, which can be replaced for example by Magazineunlock pictures.

The settings to remove chinese writing has been discussed in the KANGVIP thread.

I guess you were installing the KANGVIP Rom. If you are working with stock B212, then you will have other problems with chinese bloatware. For example the HW Browser adds Chinese advertiments. So I do not recomment to use the stock 703 software. In my installations of KANGVIP B212 V2 I don't have any Chinese characters at all.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] spawn.x:
Thanks for the helpful information and your files.

First I tried to solve the problem by going back to the stock version B202 for 702L instead of "B202 full package (DEMO)" [GEM-702LC158B203CUSTC158D001_DEMO.zip] and then again install "KangVIP" [KangVIP+Slim+B212+v2+(04-06-17).zip]. Unfortunately, this did not help either.

In the end, I decided to use the version B202 for 702L at my Mediapad X2 GEM-701L. Until now this looks quite good.

LTE is for me currently no problem, since I use the device only over wireless lan.

The development of the custom ROMs, however, I keep in mind.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] RayfG:
Try cyanogenmod and you will not have any chinese characters neither emui.

Rom is stable and fast. I have 702 AS well
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
There is no LTE problem on a 701 which is using 702 software. Use the newest version via FF from march 2017 and all push notifications will work. The is the reason I am on this version now.

But rooting the stock B202 is more complex and xposed needs a different method.

I could solve all this problems you describe on kangvip and updated more than 10 devices with this version without problem.

All knowledge is already documented here on xda and on Android-hilfe.de

GPS problem returned once again and my SatNav app locked up on me today - it only ever did that on my old Galaxy Note, never on the MediaPad.

Plus another strange thing happened yesterday - the phone was running quite hot but nothing was running and it was on the charger at 100%. I removed it from the charger and the battery lost 10% charge in about 5 minutes of just sitting on my desk!

Later I ran the SatNav app and it started doing the 5kmh speed thing again then suddenly the phone rebooted.

The reporting app that I use every day for my work is also running slow and text input is unbearably slow, and the stupid thing makes "bing" noises randomly through the night and wakes me up - but shows no messages so I don't know why! (*EDIT - this was caused by my magnetic charging cable starting to go faulty). Something ain't right with KangVIP and I'm starting not to trust it.

Is there a way to go back to standard (I think it was b005) rom, or is there another stock rom that I can install? My phone is a 701 but the downgrade script made it think it's a 702, can that also be reversed?
