If I install the original CUST.img I install the firmware manually.

During installation it always fails the 95% "Huawei Cust fail.

Restart and I installed the firmware B015 course in information phone with Android 4.4 recognizes me.

Same thing if I install the B106.

With "KANGVIP-B111-CUST-MOD.zip" I do not make a manual update.

With the original B015 CUST.img I installed the firmaware B106.

How should I proceed ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
I flashed B112 over B015 and now i can't get back I did all steps you listed but when i try to flash dload didnt work now i cant back to my stock as well I cant flash 703L try to flash B015 by fastboot and it didnt boot only boot loop ? any help

Thanks ...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
The error your get, ist because you should not flash the original cust. You have a 701 or 702 and not a 703 model. So this ist the reason for the error. To prevent the failure on the dload process you have to flash the universal cust before. This was figured out by ajsmsg78.

The message "Android 4.4" is a result of tricking the phone with a "wrong" firmware. Don't worry about it. It will be fixed, after installing the "universal cust."

The "KANGVIP-B111-CUST-MOD.zip" is no "update" to any version, it is a configuration file to set parameters for the system.

You could flash the B015 Cust.img, but it is worthless, you will confuse the phone once more.

Just leave it out and do like described. Install the Universal cust instead of the B015Cust to get the correct " about phone info" .

The flashing of the 4 files is just to get the phone started to be able initiate the dload process and to be able to format the internal SD card. (This is important because on 5.0 the format has changed)

The real update will be done on the next step via the "dload" process.

This contains all files (including the normal cust) and all updates which can not be flashed via fastboot.

So simply continue.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes this is normal. The format of the internal usage of memory and SD has changed from 5.0 to 5.1

But there is a way to return to 5.0. If you would leave out flashing the system.img, you can install TWRP for 5.0 again and then do a recovery of your NANDROID. Then you could look into you old systems, for example if you forgot some setting.

But it is not necessary to go back. You must go on an upgrade until the end of the whole process, because they changed the method to charge the battery. So if you would flash back 5.0 you would notice that you can not charge your phone any more. It happend to me on trying to go back like you and thought I had damaged the phone. I guess there is still a little charging when turning the phone off an plug it into the USB power supply.

So be quick and install B105 again and if will charge again.

Then continue. The whole process takes about 2 hours.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
You meant that I should install B105 before 701L and how I can install it my device now is B112 and when I try to flash B105 it won't boot and I try to do it by manual dload but that didn't work ! I tried to install B112 again with Universal Cust mod and info become correct but problem here some settings disappeared ! Cuz that I try back to my stock !
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
There is no version B105.

You were skipping all these steps and jumped from B106 to B112. Where did you download this?

This procedure has to be gone step by step. You can not leave interim versions out, because some components will be updated in B109. So if you skipped this you will will not have a fully upgrade.

If you want to start again the process you can not start from the first step (Androd 5.0)

But you can start from the first Andriod 5.1.1. version on: This is the B106. To switch to this version you have to "fastboot" some files:

Install on your PC the Huawei Update extractor

3 Extract from version B106 which you have alrady downloaded the files boot.img , recovery.img, userdata.img, cust.img, system.img, cache.img

4 Flash these files: from your PC ADB window:

fastboot flash boot BOOT.img

fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img

fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img

fastboot flash cust CUST.img

fastboot flash cache CACHE.img

fastboot flash sytem SYSTEM.img

fastboot reboot

5 Then you would be able start the system and do minimal configuration

Now you are already on 5.0 and will not need to format the internal SD.

You will be then able to do "dload" or OTA for B109, then B111 and then B112 again.

Then go into recovery and flash TWRP and the universal cust to "patch" the "about phone"

You should also install superuser.apk go get control about the root.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
Thanks for replay :)

I installed B112 again and i flashed Universal B111 mod now everything work and Double2Wake .. etc and Info is correct and i can see that my internal storage is 32 GB but when i go to storage i saw that my storage is 32 but i have 3 GB only to use

[IMG="32GB and what I can use 3GB"]http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/3/6/2/0/9/9/5/Screenshot_2016-01-25-00-13-25.png?key=0I0HpTMXA3hDwj2kQErhBw&ts=1453670199[/IMG]
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
In this case the internal sd. Had to be formatted.

Via factory flashing recovery and factory reset. Save your data before.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
You are right that work with me and I can say that Universal B111 mod is compatible with B112!

Thanks man you did great job here )
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Did you go via all versions, or did you skip any?

Ralf via Tapatalk. GEM701L, B111Kangvip v2 SiGo
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
I just install B106, B109 and B112!

I think storage issue because I did rest factory via B105 but now everything work very well.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes B015 is still Android 5.0. The format sd has to be performed on 5.1.1

Please check, if your phone is rooted.

Don't forget to flash superuser to get full control

Ralf via Tapatalk. GEM701L, B111Kangvip v2 SiGo
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
did you go via ota?

And if yes, does it upgrade directly from b109 to b112?

Ralf via Tapatalk. GEM701L, B111Kangvip v2 SiGo
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
OTA Update always show you there is B112 Update!. If you have B106 or B109 always show you B112 ! Yes I did OTA update from B109 directly to B112.

Thanks for advice!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] lge73:
audioralf great tutorial!

just a little correction:

5 f ...now for B106

5 k Select firmware update B106-> B109

6 repeat the OTA process via B109

:)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Thank you. I fixed the typos.

If you are on B112 and you have installed TWRP to fix the "about phone" , you must know that you are rooted in technical way.

Some people think, that root only comes if you install supersuser. Installing TWRP and running this manipulates rights on your phone, so you could become "adminstrator"

This means also that any app could overtake control on your phone. To prevent this you have to install a Superuser app.

This gives you full root rights and the possibility to decide which app will be allowed to exert admin rights.

So if you decide to stay on B112, you must install superuser or Kingroot.

This will be done automatically if you install the NearCust Rom.

It is based on B111, but don't worry you will not miss essential things.

I guess ajsmsg78 will pubilish a new varaint of his rom which will be based on B112.

Another thing:

If you use Purify maybe you get the message that it does not work

I installed the newest version from Google Play and presse the Boost Button.

This had the effect that I was not nerved by the notifications anymore, because they are collected in a timeline.

But this also means that you will get no acoustic notification at all.

First I thought my GMail has a defect and installed myMail as alternative.

But the same thing.

Solution is to configurate the apps within Purify where you still want to get acoustic notification.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] iamhcg:
Hi, a quick question. Why can't we simply start by fastboot flash 5 img files from B106, and skip B015? Is it okay to do so?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
This has been figured out by ajsmsg78. I guess you must integrate all components from the 703 software to your 701, or 701 model, to get them updatet from 5.0 to 5.1. Dload updates much more than these 4 files.

The other reason is that format of SD changes. If you flash system.img try to boot, this system wants the new format, which isn't there, yet. So it would crash.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Always use the universal cust mod when going back to any stock 703L rom. If you don't then any dload, factory reset or ota will fail. I'm updating my 702L from Simply Google B111 to stock B112 as we speak and here are the steps you have to take. This is the proper way to make sure you are on COMPLETE STOCK. Don't skip any steps or you may run into problems.

1) Fastboot flash boot.img, cache.img, cust.img, system.img, userdata.img. Don't flash recovery.img just yet.

2) Reboot into TWRP (Volume up + power)

3) Copy the universal cust B112 to your sdcard or internal storage

4) Flash the universal cust b112 file in TWRP

5) Reboot back to the bootloader

6) Fastboot flash recovery.img

7) Reboot by typing in fastboot reboot and let the phone boot up

8) After the phone boots, go into settings, backup & reset and do a factory reset and you must choose erase internal storage as well or your internal memory will not show the correct space.

9) The factory reset will succeed successfully. Then you will be back on stock B111.

10) Then you will be able to OTA to b112 or do the dload method to b112. I always do the dload method as it flashes the complete rom you're updating to.

Reply to Djiban

Hi,

Thanks for the updated link.

I have a GEM 701L with stock ROM, B003. Following the instructions by audioRalf i would bring it to B112 first. Not quite sure how to continue then: The link for B202 full package (DEMO) via the Huawei server does not work. And i cannot use the latest instructions to bring it to Android 6, because B2xx is a prerequisite.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
once your 701L is recognised as a 702l (after applying the downgrade pack ), you can install official B203. And then any custom rom here, or all official update through the appa firmware finder

Thank you.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Yes a miror is available here.

But you might have trouble to find official roms after this downgrade (as update.hicloud.com database is down - which is a really bad news, Huawei is moving its roms, and surely won't let them available afterwrads). And moreover you don't really need the downgrade script as 702L's B203 or B205 (maybe B207, never tried ) are directly installable on 701L. I give many more details about that there .

Here is a miror for 702L's B203, as you might have trouble to find those 702L official Roms due to the same lack of the update.hicloud.com database.

One on a 702L B2xx, Then you will be able to install any android 6.0 or 7.0 custom roms, as you'll find them here.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] nimble_nobbi:
Hello,

I have allready tried ALL of your suggestions above - no success. I wasn't able to flash anything above B003, TWRP allways said "failed". The only one ended with a "success" was "GEM 703L B230 Rooted Debloated (3-5-19).zip", I found somewhere here.

BUT: I got a bootloop...

AND: I can't access the recovery anymore, VOL+ plus Power, VOL- plus Power, both Volume-keys plus Power... leads to bootloop :-(
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Official ROM are NOT flashable with twrp, but with "official dload flash" (see below). You need to have stock recovery, Here is how to go back to it . Also, you can have stock recovery AND TWRP recovery at the same time (thanks to erecovery). I advice you that. How to here or there (with more complete sources and tutorials).

Now you can use Flashing with official Dload method

Install directly 702L-B203 (linked in my previous post) with this method (as I don't know if I can find again B205, and B207 is just an OTA upgrade)

Once on B203, replace android 5 TWRP recovery by an android 6 TWRP recovery. Then you'll be able to install the custom rom of your choice (Kangvip Slim B230, Simply International B207, Lineage 13 or 14, MIUI8 ... all sources here)

Hi I am looking at this because I have just received a 701 and it's not recognising the local sim card, I saw elsewhere that android had to be updated for international use.

I clicked on the first link in the instructions to unlock the bootloader but it appears to be a dead link.

Is there any other way to do this?

I am a complete novice at this.

Thank you for any help.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
the sim card should be recognized with android 5 native Huawei rom. Try out others sims first, and look into the settings/sim. Also do a factory reset after that, before changing rom. If the issue is hardware, rom changing won't solve it.

to unlock bootloader, see there

[Huawei MediaPad X2] iamhcg:
Okay, it's a long story, but here's what happened to me.

Something went wrong and I didn't know why. I followed the instructions. Luckily I got it done.

First I fastboot-flashed recovery,system,boot,userdata img of B015, done.

reboot to system, done.

flahed twrp 5.0 >install universal cust> flashed back to stock recovery >

So far so good.

But the dload method failed to update to full B015. I repeat several times, failed.

I went back to the old way. Flashed system,boot,cust,recovery of B015. Reboot.

Used dload method to update to B106, failed half of the way, but system did get into Android 5.1.1 and B106

I flashed universal cust to fix the "about phone", now the rom version became B111

Also, If It was in stock cust, the phone could detect ota update. If it was in universal cust, it couldn't.

**(edited: Sorry I forgot this part) Then I extracted img files from B106. Fastboot flashed recovery, cust, system, boot and reboot.**

Then I went ahead and used dload method to B109. This time it went through.

My phone is on full B109 now, but wrong info in "about phone". I don't know if I should flash universal cust.

****Edit and update*****

It seems I need to flash universal cust, or the "format internal SD"won't work due to the wrong volume. So, I stayed in stock cust to ota-update to B112, done! I then flashed universal cust and supersu, then went back to stock recovery.

Now My phone is on B112 fully, but the universal cust listed it as B111.

It would be nice if I can get the version right, but I am satisfied now.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] servergame:
Perhaps you forgot this step?

fastboot flash cust CUST.img
[Huawei MediaPad X2] iamhcg:
Yes, I thinks so. The OP missed the step, but I kinda figured it out.

When I was in partially B106, I extracted img files from stock rom, flashed recovery, system, boot and cust img. Then everything went through.

There's this tiny little thing though. When I flashed universal cust on B112, it listed as B111. Is it anyway to fix it?

Will there be an updated Universal cust?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
U can flash B111 universal without any issues I did it and now every things work very well ^^
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Just flash Simply Google B112 or the B112 universal cust that I released last night.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
I flashed Universal Cust B111 with B112 and it is work good ! Do you think I should flash B112 again and flash cust ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'll update the cust tonight for simply google to fix any chances of a bootloop. If you do a full wipe then just flash Simply Google B112 does it boot for you?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Thank you for testing, but this point has not been forgotten.

It is essential NOT to flash the 703 cust on Step 2, because you have installed the universal cust before in step 1.2e.

If you would flash the 703 cust in step 2 via fastboot, the corrections of the "universal cust" would be overwritten.

The result would be an error on the dload process, because you flashed a 703 cust on a 701 model.

ajsmsg78 has confirmed that we can leave it out on this step.

I have reports from users that this steps are correct and you will get no errors on all dload processes.

But it is also true that you will get the most part flashed on the dload even if it reports an error on 98%.

This comes up, when the dload tries to flash the 703 cust and becomes aware that the hardware does not fit.

So if you followed my guide and got error on the first dload to B015 something was wrong in the steps before.

If you refer to my guide please write the exact number of the point which did not work. This helps to find out why it didn't work for you

I tested 2 days to find a error free way and collected the experinces of 2 existing threads over 2 months.

These things all have been tested and people reached B111 but not every system was stabile.

This is the reason why I blowed up this guide to keep all the informations together.

Later on in the guide we come to the point where we do several dload processes one after another.

You must not fix the cust on every version if you don't work with the version you have installed. I mean here B106 and B109

Leave the "about phone info" in the "invalide state."

The dload from B106 to B109 and to B111 or B112 runs without error message, because the "about info" is already in that "invalid" state

After you have reached the last stock version, you can install one of ajsmsg78 custom Roms, which include the "universal cust" which will then fix the correct Version Number in the "about phone"

If you want to stay on stock, just install manually the newest KANGVIP Cust or Simply Google Cust with the version number you have installed.

Then install supersu to get control about your root state.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] iamhcg:
Hi, I flash the new B112 cust but it still shows "B111". Now the system keeps detecting an OTA of B112. I cant't get rid of the OTA message.

Is there any way for B112 to be shown as B112 in "about phone" so the system won't have the false detection? Thanks.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I guess you may not have done this step of the OP:

3b select "Factory data reset" and check "Format internal SD"

This reset on B015 seems to be important to have a clean B015 system before installing the universal cust and doing the dload for the rest of patching the 701 components to 703 software.

Please wait on installing the new KangVipRoms for 112. We will wait until it's stabile.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MURCIE'LAGO:
After doing many research, I convinced myself to install 703L rom on my 701L

but I stuck in the very base step to unlock my phone. I've got my unlock code from huawei club

This may looks silly but I can't boot into fastboot mode

I've tried volume down+power key and even adb reboot fastboot in minimal adb

but everytime in boot into normal or safemode

once or twice, it shows a screen with a red exclemation mark and emui url on it

can anyone help me with this!!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You have to boot into fastboot mode with the usb cable plugged into the computer and into the phone. Hold in Vol Down and Power to do so.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] iamhcg:
HI, I am the one with "a long story". Just to report this.

After I flashed the updated "Universal B112 cust", everthing goes well.

My phone can detect OTA now. Dload method goes well. All the info is correct and it's stable. No more "only stock cust could detect OTA" thing. Now I am a happy user.

I still don't know what I did wrong though(I didn't miss the factory reset ). Anyway, now that everything's fine, I guess it would stay a mystery. Lol.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
I thought I did follow all steps merticuously but now have the internal memory issue.

My understanding was the cust was internally fixed on the 111 kingvip and simplygoogle.

More specifically than saying go back but you can't go back, what can I do. I see flashing cust 111 or cust 112 img will correct internal storage. Is this a fastboot flash. Can it be a regular twrp flash. Am I hosed?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeWONEx:
After I upgraded to B112 there is option called (honor voice wake up) did not work with me ! can anyone confirm that ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
No just backup your internal storage, fastboot flash the stock recovery first so when you do the factory reset it works properly and then just flash twrp again after its done.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Sorry to keep being so dense. I Fastboot flash to 702 recovery? 5.1 different stock recovery? Still lost and apologize for dealing threads. Will keep it here.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] iamhcg:
No. you need to flash back to stock recovery. The "format internal SD card" only works on stock recovery.

So, you flash back to stock recovery > go to "setting" and do a factory reset, check the "format internal SDcard" >after you boot up, the internal SD card will be back to normal.

Then, if you need TWRP, you can flash it back or just stay at stock Recovery.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Thanks for everyone's help but I need to pester again, particularly since I thought I did it right back the first time.

Since dloading 106 seems to need to be the third step on my path, which stock recovery do I use b003 "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" of the 703 b003 or 702 b003. If it has to be 702, its probably time to stick a fork in me and I'll boneyard it. .

Can I fastboot flash a latter version recovery (assume no)

Understand second step has to be reformat internal from settings (not wipe which I of course assumed incorrectly) if I ever get that far.
