It's the 702L Beta firmware but doesn't seem to have any bugs or issues from what i've seen. If you have a 703L already on B209 or B211 you can just flash this rom. If you have a stock 702L on Android 5.1.1 then you have to dload the stock rom to update to B201 then flash this rom.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Ok i have a GEM 703L and my Firmware is B209,i test this Rom.

Thanks Man

Hi Aj

Can I ask you a very simple (prob stupid) question?

You said: "They should work on any model of X2 provided you're already on B201 or higher".

Unfortunately I'm at B003 (ancient version). How do I get to B201 to then move to Marshmallow?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Wich Version of Mediapad X2 do you have?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Ross Kay:
Hi.. I've recently got the mediapad x2 701L.

I used to be pretty good on mod and stuff with my nokia n900 and similar but since android I stopped.

I'm pretty happy with this device but im stuck with android 5.0 b003.

I would like to move to marshmellow ans if I understood correcly I need first to upgrade to 5.1 isn't it?

Can I do it with the 701version instead than 702/703? If I can where dp I find the full guide?

Thanks a lot for your help
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
i think you must wait to Rollout MM for 701L

I have 703L and test to flash this Rom from 5.1.1,but theX2 not boot.

This Rom works only with MM installed

Hi, thanks for sharing this. I tried it but personally prefer the tweaks from K-VIP. Now that I went back to the K-Vip 209 slim ROM my info is displayed correctly but the actual storage in the file explorer says I have 2.3 GB free. Is there a cust I have to flash to correct this?

I had installed the deodexed.

Thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I included all the cust folders in this so i'm not sure why your phone would display incorrect information,
[Huawei MediaPad X2] analog_user:
Yeah, it's weird. Maybe going back to Kang up from this causes some sort of overwrite or something. I even flashed the cust for 209 after re installing kangvip from your other post and still shows the same. I will re do the whole update process again tomorrow hoping to solve this.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] analog_user:
The are the screen shots of what I described above. Weird...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You may have to flash the stock rom through fastboot (boot, cache, system, recovery, cust, userdata) then go into Settings-->Advanced Settings-->Backup & Reset and do a Factory Data reset. It happens to me all the time when I dload, I always have to remember to do that or it sees my internal storage as wrong like yours.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] meloweb:
Hi,

I want to try this rom (or the stock B202) but need help to install. I have a 702L and was on Kanvip Slim B112. I have installed images of stock B112 with fastboot and complete with dload to B112 update.app.

I thought i was able to dload directly to the full stock B202 of the first post to convert to Android M but it fails. ¿I have to dload to B209 and then to B202? I'm confused.. how do you know what version can be converted to other?

Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Ross Kay:
Hi Guys

I managed to get this full version coming from the 112mod.

I'm now on 202Simply and the rom works perfectly. I miss the original browser (I'm using Firefox now) but I noticed two issues, maybe you can help me with.

I was trying to remove some system apps but apparently device is not root (???) . This is strange because SuperSu was working asking for granting permissions in the first few days.

So I've opened the APP SuperSu to check and it says I have to update binary. If I do so it says FAILED. I tried the normal update and the manual through TWPR but keeps failing...

Also, small second issue: Phone Manager asks for permissions all the time avoiding apps to work properly. I can't manage to leave my app working the way they should!

Any Help?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Search forum for 'Systemless root'.

Then install su in TWRP

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Ross Kay:
Found and fixed!!

Thanks! Any idea on the phone manager issue? To explain it better it keeps popping up asking for permissions and some of the usual actions the app should do they don't..

If I disable it, would that cause any mess?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes, do EMUI factory reset on b112

Put update.zip in dload folder

select from EMUI the local firmware update.

Then install TWRP for 6.0 and install AJ's 211 or 202 version

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] meloweb:
Thank you Audioralf,

I had already tried to dload to B209 when i finished downloading. ¿But what I have to do if I I want to go to stock B202? or in a future to another stock ROM if now I'm in original B209 with custom SI_B202 and B209 file is a incremental update and not a full update? what original recovery will have to put?

Thanks

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mcdhol_24:
It seems like my x2's battery life isn't long with this rom unlike when I had the B205 or B112. Anyone having this experience?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
When the 701L gets updated to Android 6.0 you can. Until then you have to stay on 5.1 or convert your 701L to a 703L then you can flash any of the 6.0 roms.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] T.E.C.H.N.O:
Hello,

I installed the ROM on my 701 (I think it is not the actual version, since it lasts a time) phonemanager is always forceclosing and I cant go into permissionmanager. Is there any workaround?

Thanks in advance
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yes, Go into Phone Manager, hit the settings icon at the top and turn off Smart Tune-up. I listed that in the OP under Instructions.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] T.E.C.H.N.O:
Actually this is what I tried as it happened the first time. It worked for that time but today the forceclose came back even with smart tune turned off. I had to reinstall the ROM today and immediately turned smart tune off. Hope it works better this time :)

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Now you need to do the dload method to get to B211. Flash the universal B112 cust first then do the dload method by putting the stock B211 update on your internet storage in a dload folder. After you successfully update to B211 then you can flash KangVIP Slim or Internetional B202.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
If dload b211 update.zip fails, check if you have restored a b112 nandroid or dload b112 just before.

Do a factory reset on 112 via EMUI. Don't worry about the info in 'about phone'. Do not install universal cust b112 after this reset, if you are going to 6.0 with update.zip

Put update.zip (do not unpack!) to dload folder and B202 our KangVIP 211 to sdcard and select incremental update from EMUI local update.

Remove usb while updating.

After Huawei software update

Reboot into bootloader

Install TWRP for 6.0 on recovery2

Fastboot flash recovery2 TWRP-302.img

Start this TWRP with usb connected.

Install AJ's zip file

Hi AudioRalf - the dload B211 update.zip failed- see above, so I tried to dload B112 UPDATE.APP & that also fails with the error E: failed to sysMapFile '/data/media/0' and another error message E: Error installing zip file '/data/media/0/'

nb: I removed the SIM - would that make any difference ?

[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Did you try to install update.zip from TWRP?

This won't work.

If not, it seems you have a corrupted internal sd. Then do again Factory reset within EMUI including the checkbox to format internal sd.

In both cases:

Then start system and tap on 'firmware upgrade' and 'local update' and select 'incremental update update.zip'

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] the-bunker:
Hi - no I have always tried to update from the EMUI local update - which reboots into TWRP recovery, starts to do something then an error message flashes up briefly before the TWRP top level menu appears & just sits there. I was able to see the error message by selecting Wipe which reveals the previous actions.

I did a factory reset from EMUI with the option "Erase internal storage" - it rebooted into TWRP recovery top level menu & just sat there - so I tried a Wipe/Format data within TWRP, rebooted & tried the EMUI update again - with the same error message as previously reported.

I hope it's not stuck !
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Oops, you need to flash the Huawei recovery.img before any dload.

Install TWRP on recovery2 to prevent this problem

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] the-bunker:
Ah - that makes sense - where do I get the recovery.img ? - do I extract that from the B112 stock rom ??

[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Yes

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Every dload replaces recovery and recovery2 with huawei versions, which you can extract from update.app.

Recovery2 is normally not needed, so a nice place to put TWRP in: Fastboot flash recovery2 TWRP_xxx.img

The difference on starting this that you must be have a usb connection. So very useful, because also on fastboot you need usb connection. So simply keep connected.

Hi - I've completed the install to B202 International ver. On initial boot in EMUI I was getting a Sorry message flash up - very briefly, I couldn't read it, so I restarted & I haven't seen it again (no simcard perhaps ??) Plus I notice the icons are spread in a very haphazard manner across a few screens with only the last screen properly populated (& no widgets).

Anyway, I thought it would change to a GEM-702L but it still says GEM-703L ??

So I did a system reset from EMUI which appears to be stuck - it showed the Honor boot logo briefly & then the animated android logo - still going afte rmore than 10mins...

Thanks Paul

Edit: I had to kill the boot in the end & go back into Bootloader mode & start reflashing
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
The screens on Huawei launcher have been cleared up by AJ.

So instead of bloatware icons too see blank space.

Order it in the way you like.

It's normal that the model message stays on 703. It's AJ's trick with the manipulated cust that changed tbd model name on dload of the first 5.11 version.

The downgrade script is told to be able to change tke model name, too. But I can not confirm this. It'd didn't work on 701 model which was already updated. It lead into a bootloop.

So better let it as it is.

Emui Reset should work. I would wait up to 50 minutes on first boot. Sometimes rebuilding dalvic takes so long. But after EMUI reset there is less software to rebuild for dalvic. Normally it takes not more than 5 minutes in this case. I have done this several times on the devices I converted. The first boot then leads into one reboot to install xposed. This is normal and boot a bug.

Maybe you have not formatted internal sd on 5.11?

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Bearses:
I'm on a GEM-703L, fresh install, and I can't seem to do ANYTHING to persistently change the DPI setting. I've spent the last 4 hours trying every app in the store (with and without root access), and while a couple of them did work, they went back to default after rebooting.

I need to change the DPI because the default setting is way too clunky for my taste, but if I go into settings and change the display mode to "small" then google chrome's tab button stops working. I've tried App settings (with supersu access granted) but there seems to be no effect in chrome or any other app, no matter what setting I change.

What can I do? Please, I'm desperate to just be able to use my phone without these quirks. :/
[Huawei MediaPad X2] brasselv:
App settings works for me, but needs a full reboot (contrary to what it says)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
You need version 1.13 appsettings to get effect on 6.0 without reboot. This is offered via a independent developer via xda. The official version 1.10 discontinued in 2014.

But indeed there is a new way some apps handle with the dpi. One of them is chrome wich should switch to tablet mode on dpi under 325. But instead of showing normal tabs there is a bug on chrome and shows only one tab.

I even installed chrome beta. Same there. I don't know if they will fix it. Dpi is stable after reboot on KangVIP. Maybe AJ could comment if this could work on international version.

I set to 325 via KangVIP menu and lower to some apps via app settings.

My device: 701->703 B211 KangVIP AJ Xposed

Hey, you could try rebooting the phone itself, after applying App Settings changes. This might do the trick.

Yep, tried several times, rebooting each try. First I tried with just dpi, then just the resolution, then both. No changes at all, before or after rebooting. App Settings seems to do nothing for me. :s

But it never gets passed the animation screen. The animation keeps running but that's it. Do I need TWRP 6? I have been unable to locate it.

I am looking to downgrade from B211 KangVIP to this ROM in order to get GPS working again. Two questions:

Does GPS work on this ROM? And if so, is it safe to downgrade (charging e.g.)?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
[MENTION=263299]techspy[/MENTION] Yes of course. You need TWRP 3.02

The boot animation is not a part of the 5.0 TRWP recovery, so don't care about it.

If you restored to 5.01 you must quickly upgrade again to 6.0, because your battery will not charge any more after returning to 5.0 via TWRP.

If you want to stay on 5.0 you must run the downgrade script before reinstalling the B003 or B005 software via dload.

[MENTION=4439284]Thatgrass[/MENTION] For correct downgrade process with save battrery charging see: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69747367&postcount=6
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
On 6.0 you must use the systemless root method.

To root this version install TWRP 3.02 and start the integrated TWRP terminal modus (Button advanced)

then type:

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

and press retrurn

Then install supersu 2.57 with TWRP install routine. And install the supersu app later. Maybe you will be requested to update binary. Then click for "nomal" mode.

Report if you are successful and add this to your new thread you made for.

If you install AJ's international B202 the systemless root is integrated and not necessary, but it requires TWRP for 6.0 (this is 3.02), too
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Thatgrass:
Is this process also required for flashing B202 Android 6.0 over the B211 Android 6.0? They are both 6.0.. And does GPS work on this ROM?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
No, the complex process is only needed to return to 5.0

If you what to swap to Aj's 'simply b202 international' just install it over KangVIP.

Gps is said to be fixed on B203 or B212. Go to the specific threads to read how to install. I tested 212 and see no gps problem. But google maps has a sleep setting which stops gps when not using on Android 6.0. But it will wake up when starting navigation. Others show position all the time but drain battery for this. You can not have both.

If you mean the problem of non awaking GPS until reboot, this should not happen in b211.

It depends on you. If you send AJ the system folder, he said he could build the international 203 version you are waiting for.

I did this with KangVIP 212 and AJ build a Rom where we are satisfied with.

So just go to stock 202 and do the ota to 203

Then install TWRP, boot into it and mount system.

Then you can transfer the content of system folder to external sd folder or via USB to PC.
