You Can try the Universal CUST in the Android 7 thread, but netter do a Backup First.
[Huawei P8max] garnner1:
Let's try !!
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
You must have flashed back to stock the last time and forgot to factory reset after you flashed. If you don't factory reset your internal storage will not be correct. You're gonna have to flash back to stock then do a factory reset, then flash twrp then KangVIP Slim again.
[Huawei P8max] garnner1:
i will try this right away !
[Huawei P8max] garnner1:
Yeah

Problem solved again thanks :good:

I have 25GB free now !
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
I meant the KangVIP ROM.
[Huawei P8max] zeer:
when i go to "manage apps", pacprocessor FC. don't know what it is but on the original ROM all OK

also english support is secodary to chinese. this looks bad. chinese shows from every gap not covered with english resource... and when english resource not loaded fast enough you see those chinese messages here and there...
[Huawei P8max] jwhood:
I had too delete kangvip to much Chinese language even though it was set to English [us] hope it can be fixed liked having xposed
[Huawei P8max] OberonMX:
Have installed kangvip ... is beatiful ROM me too flash open gapps for Android M 64 ... all work google play, maps, xposed, viper4android ... plus have colored status bar
[Huawei P8max] audiaudi:
Have you installed the original Chinese version, or the one from the op?
[Huawei P8max] OberonMX:
I was erase the original Chinese version and flash next:

1. WIPE

2. FLASH KingVIP ROM (Chinese Version )

3. Flash OpenGapps Pico

4. Reboot and wait few minutes for completed process boot and proof GOOGLE PLAY all its ok

(sorry for my bad english )
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Hey I really appreciate you giving us this rom. My P8 Max should be here by Friday and I definitely look forward to installing this rom.

I will be getting the 701 version, do you have a different rom for that one or should I go ahead and download the 703 version?

Thanks
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
You should be able to flash the 703 version. Back up your current rom first just in case.
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Thanks, I always perform a backup before flashing. I've read through almost all the forums for the P8 Max and I've downloaded all the tools I need. I plan on...

1) Making sure my device is recognized by my Win 10 pc when in android and in fastboot mode (this is always step 1 for me)

2) unlocking the bootloader by registering on the website

3) rooting using the P8Max Root Tools I found on this forum

4) Flashing twrp that I found on this forum (twrp-p8max)

5) Making a backup of my rom

6) Flashing KangVIP

With your experience, would I run into any troubles taking this route?
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
You can flash twrp without rooting and simply root with SuperSU when in TWRP.
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
I got it installed but my Google Play Services is force closing on nano opengapps and micro as well. The ROM looks good though! Great job!!
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Had the same Problem with a force closing google apps, i think you have to reinstall it again to get it work.
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
So I should install gapps twice, gotcha. Should I do it back to back or restart in between?
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Install KangVIP ROM, set it up till you can use your phone, flash GAPPS, do a factory reset and then it should work! Did myself when i had problems and it worked this way for me
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Hey I just tried that and it's still giving me "Google Play Services has stopped" message when I select Play Store. FYI I'm on the 701 version and I flashed the opengapps arm 64 5.1 pico from 4/15/2016

Any other ideas?
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Do you use the KangVIP Version of ajsmsg78?
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
I just re-read the thread and it's all clear to me now. It seems you had the same issues when you flashed ajsmsg78 version as well.

I need to flash the Chinese version I guess. Let me do some searching to see if I can find it. The last time I tried to download it, the website was asking me to download some 3rd party software so i didn't do it.
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
I used a Download Manager who downloaded the Zip from baidu
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
I think this is where the trail runs cold for me. I'm very particular about the software I install on my pc and right now my rig is perfect. I don't have a download manager and until now, I didn't need one.

Thanks for all your help guiding me through the process bro but I'm just going to revert back to stock.

Do you think any developers would be interested in a bounty for some new roms here? Do you know any? I'd be willing to donate quite a bit for a Cyanogenmod Rom or AOSP rom for us.
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
I use JDownloader because I download so much on oneclickhoster and it worked easy for this too ;)

You never will get anything more than this KangVIP Roms cause with there crappy homemade kirin socs you don't get any driver so you can't port Roms...

This is my first and last Huawei with Kirin SOC!

With the KangVIP i finally got Xposed witch got my skme Features i missed

No problem. I thought there was a kangvip lollipop rom. Ever since i updated to 6.0 on my p8 max, games and other apps like snapchat keep crashing. So I wanted to go back to 5.1. I had no luck trying to downgrade to stock using the dload method. Thanks anyway.

[Huawei P8max] sado13:
Hello everyone! When i have the facebook messenger, viber and whatsapp closed, i can't get any notifications for incoming messages. but when these applications are open i can get notifications with no problems.

Does anyone know how to fix this annoying issue??

(I own a DAV-703L)

Thanks in Advance
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Thats is not a real KangVIP, doenst have the KangVIP Features in it.
[Huawei P8max] ontario140668:
Hello Hirs_E_Fruit, I'll explain the problem: after returning to the stock version, I realized that "/ system" is full. As I moved the instant messaging applications such as system applications to make sure that notifications are working. But now I can not update because the system tells me that the space is not enough. so I wanted to increase the space in the "system".

But if you tell me that your rom, KangVIP, has "/ system" bigger, then I'll be back to your rom. If you can give me a link for a TWRP backup of your B212, I thank you infinitely.:)
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
My System Partition is 2,5 GB and with 317 MB free after I cleared it from all the Bloatware.

My "ROM" is a simple Stock B212 without the Bloatware and some Apps installed as a System App to ensure notifications.

With the DiskInfo you can check your partitions of the phone.
[Huawei P8max] ontario140668:
even my stock rom has 2.6 gb "/ system" but only 16.7 mb free
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:

[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Did you installed the GApps with Google Now via TWRP?
[Huawei P8max] ontario140668:
no, to play store, why?
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Because a flash via TWRP is better than a playstore install.
[Huawei P8max] ontario140668:
So, if I download the "micro" package, for example, can i flash with TWRP?Have i to wipe also? Need i to cancel play store, maps etc. already present?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
If the micro package from OpenGAPPs contain Google Now/Voice then yes.

Yes you can flash this via TWRP.

No you dont need to cancle anyting
[Huawei P8max] ontario140668:
Hi Hirs, I installed gapps micro, but still does not work "Google Now". It seems that the microphone go to "crash".
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
You want to have a working "OK Google" Voice is that right? Did you do all the settings in the google app? whats your language?
[Huawei P8max] ontario140668:
Hello Hirs, I solved the issue by reinstalling the "Kang"; They have left almost 500 MB free space in "/ system" and "google now" works fine. Thanks anyway aid that you gave me.:bene::bene::bene:

[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
OP link updated.
[Huawei P8max] shao2004:
Impossible. You must have unblocked bootloader.

The easiest way to get the unlock code is:

- Download the program KingROOT. You can get a temporary root on the phone.

- You need to find the unlock code.

- It is located in the nvme file on the path /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/

- In the WVLOCK section, on the tenth page, find the 16-digit number.

This is the unlock code.

- Connect the phone to the computer.

- On the PC, in the ADB program, enter the following commands one by one in the command window:

adb devices - check if connected

adb reboot bootloader - transfer your phone in fastboot mode

fastboot devices - check if connected in fastboot mode

fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-(your code) - unlocking bootloader

fastboot reboot - reboot your phone

The version of KingROOT, with which I got a temporary root on 6-th Android, can be taken here from the 4PDA forum. (Need registration)

It is best to get a temporary root on 5 Android.

But I was able to do it on 6 Android.

Try it....
[Huawei P8max] wantosee:
Thanks reply, I have tried KingRoot updated version (android apk version) , but not success. may be need to use the version u mentioned

FLashing Rom error

I have unlocked the BL and rooted my 703l p8max but after flashing kang rom and reboot i get rescue mode.

The error in red states boot image then load failed. I tried a few different times and get the same error any ideas on why this is happening???
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Can you maybe provide the original KangVIP ROM file here too?
[Huawei P8max] gopo2004:

[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
Quick question.. I am a bit confused about how to flash your rom. Do you flash it using twrp or flash it using a the stock rom procedure?
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
You would definitely want to flash using twrp. In fact, there is a twrp specifically for the p8 max that I use. I found it in one of the threads here. For some reason when I used the version that was included in the root method, I couldn't flash anything successfully. Try the twrp p8 max version.

[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
That cust looks like it's from the DAV-703L.
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
703L but once you update to official B209 through either ota or dload then it should work on any model. Anyone with a 701L should be able to convert to a 703L like we did in the Mediapad X2 forum. Then you'll get all the updates. Also, the P9 Max should be out soon and I'll be upgrading my X2 to that.
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
I guess they are really similar...

You have to update to Marshmallow (B209) before you flash any marshmallow roms.

[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
Hey it's resolved I tried Ideas4ya's advice about trying a different recovery img and everything worked on the first flash. The Twrp recovery img supplied in the root and flash thread did not play nice with my p8max at all. I used another Twrp recovery from the mate s and that worked first time no problems..
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Hey I was just browsing through the X2 forums and I'm surprised to see you did a lot of work with that device. Congrats.

Can you post a link for us 701L users to use as a reference to convert ours to 703L?

Im on B005 and I've tried the dload method with B023 and B021 and both fail because it's obviously the wrong version, I just had to try it anyway.

If the only way for me to get Marshmallow is for me to convert to the 703L then sign me up. Also I found out I can downgrade my firmware just by restoring my twrp backup so I haven't really lost anything, just FYI to those users that may be afraid to upgrade to B005.
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/general/how-to-flash-rom-x2-gem-703l-gem-702l-t3228915

Basically you fastboot flash the 703L img files, flash twrp, flash the cust mod (I would need the cust from your original rom which I think you send me so I can make a zip file for it as well as the 703L cust folder) then flash the stock recovery, boot into the OS, do a factory reset in settings and choose erase internal storage. Then you can grab the 703L update.app from the latest version of Lollipop and put it in a dload folder on your internal storage and do a manual update from settings--->updater. The update should work and complete 100%, then you'll be converted to a 703L which you can then update to B209. I have a 702L which I converted to a 703L. You won't lose any radio bands or anything. I even get ota's on my X2. Once the P9 Max is released I'm buying one of those and selling my X2.
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Almost forgot to add this little info.. I ran a winrar zip test on the regular full apps kangvip rom and the results are multiple corrupted files. I ran the same test on the apps removed kangvip rom and it has no corrupted files and that's the rom I can flash with no problems. I even went to winrar test my xperia z ultra roms and they checked out clean with no corruptions so is the link to the rom bad now?

What is your original latest firmware? DAV-B209?
[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
No its DAV-703L V100R001C233B029
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Did you update from B023 to B029 or from B021 to B029?

I'm asking because I plan on converting to B023 after I get the cust zip.

But for your issue, I guess the question is how do you get from B029 to B209 right?
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
You need first do install Android 6 (B209) then you can flash this ROM!
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Will B209 come through as an update or will we have to use the extractor to fastboot the img files?

Also, since I'm converting from the 701L and I'll have to fastboot the img files anyway, do you think I can simply fastboot the B209 img files and skip all the B023 -> B026 -> B029 updates?
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
For some people it came as an update, I personally downloaded the update files and updateted it through the local update app.

I am not sure if u can skip it cause u need to be on B029 too use this OTA-Update
[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
I don't know what steps because I bought the phone it was on the b029 already and I thought that was the latest for the 703L.
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Thanks, and this should be my last question because I think I know how to get to the B029 stage. Where did you find the update to the B209 firmware? I'd rather use your method and update it locally.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Do you have an update available to B209? If not, do you know where to get it? It seems this is the last missing piece to the Android 6.0 update method.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

I feel pretty comfortable with this process, I think all I'm missing to do the conversion is the 701L cust folder. I've got the B023 extracted and I've got the B026 and B029 updates already on my pc. If this works, you'll be looking at a nice donation to get next week started right. :)

Where did you upload the cust folder zips?

You have to extract it as well and put it on your internal storage in the dload folder.

Stuck in a Bootloop after flashing it.
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
What I need is the 701L, 702L, and 703L stock cust folders from the latest (EMUI 3.1) roms available for each model. Make sure you update to the latest versions either through ota or through the dload method. Then send me the cust folder. I'll basically put together a new cust folder with all the different cust folders inside. There are quite a few different models of P8 Max so the more cust I get the more compatible the cust mod will be with every P8 Max. Then you can flash the cust mod and depending on what model of phone you have it will use a specific cust folder. For example my 702L's main cust folder is cust/hw/spcseas. My 703L main cust folder was cust/dualcu.
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
Zip up the cust folder(s) and upload them anywhere and send me a link. I use Google Drive mostly for my phone stuff and Dropbox for my business stuff.

The system.img for the B209 can be extracted from the B209 update that was posted on the previous page and at the top of this page. You will need to grab the extractor tool from the mediapad x2 link that was posted on the previous page as well. Use the tool to extract the system.img from the update.app.
