Yes, I was on B211. But then all went south when I tried to root again via SU, and I need to start over if I can. I was caught in a boot loop, and the only way I could get out of it was to write the Kangvip Slim B211 ROM to the device via TWRP 6.0. I want to go back to stock B211 and am looking for a way. Do you know how? I will keep looking. I have been doing this long enough, I should know better, This is driving me crazy, Lol.....
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Booting Original Stockrom B211 without root or it starts to flash Original B211 already not?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
I'm Sorry I am not quite understanding the question.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
after install the B211 on X2 starts normally or because already the bootloop,or only when you root it the Bootloop?

Sorry my English is not so good
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Yes after installing B211 stock, starts normally, Only when I tried to root did I get boot loop.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
OK this is good.

Install Stock recovery and then install the B211.

Is finished,install TRWP 6.0 from here

and flash this SYSTEMLESS Supersu.zip from here

that should work.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
I can do this even though I am now on KangVIP Slim B211 ??

Use this B211 Stock Recovery?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
B205? I don't know. On which version are you?

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Try it,

if it does not work go back to B112 with this Thread ,should also work with B211

and then Update to B211
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Okay, Will Try it now and report back to you results !! :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
OK, I'm curious :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
I flashed B211 Stock Recovery, put X2-B211-update.zip HERE in dload folder on SD card, executed dload method, and Software update Failed......

Okay, thought I would take a break, and stay on KangVIP Slim for the day, so I flashed TRWP, no problem, rebooted phone (fastboot reboot), phone started, then put SYSTEMLESS Supersu.zip on internal storage, started TWRP Recovery, installed SYSTEMLESS Supersu.zip, cleared cache, restarted device and am stuck on honor splash screen AGAIN. any idea why?

-----

UPDATE: Did a Factory reset and then it finally restarted again..... This phone is a PITA, Lol
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
you're on Stock B 211 or Kangvip?

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

you can do that I try tried it and it works

1. Download official B112 rom (update.app) put the rom into dload folder in the root of a sdcard.

REMOVE THE SDCARD out of the phone.

2. Download rom B112 rooted with GAPPS from here:

http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/development/rom-stock-b106-gapps-t3230585

Then copy this rom into the root of internal storage of the phone.

3. Install TWRP recovery

4. Reboot X2 into TWRP recovery.

Choose Wipe -> Advance then wipe davik cache, data, system.

Get back and choose Install, navigate to the rom B112 rooted with GAPPS and flash it.

Reboot into Bootloader and flash via Fastboot B112 Stock Recovery

5. After flash completed, remember that the phone will reboot itself after 1 minute or more and you may have not enough time to do something. Don't worry, do the next step.

6. Put the Sdcard into the phone.

7. Press both Power and Volume +/- for 10 seconds then release. The phone will automatically flash official B112.

Just wait untill it finishes/possibly doing a factory reset

Then Update B211

UPDATE: The update is now once again available. Took a couple of days to reappear.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
When you're on stock if you want to root you have to either flash one of my insecure boot.img or you have to flash systemless root. On the stock kernel regular root will put you in a bootloop. My insecure kernels will work with either regular root or systemless root.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Thank you for that, going to use systemless SuperSU root from here

So, in your opinion, is there any benefits to staying on stock vs using your Kang ROM? :confused:
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
KangVIP is stock with a lot of mods so you're better off using KangVIP.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Agreed
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Since upgrading to Android 6 (stock B211 or Kang B211) incoming calls that are in my phone book show number only, no name. But they do show names on my Nav screen in my car through Bluetooth. Anyone else with this issue? Fix?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
This sounds like a serious bug and the first thing to determine is if this occurs for anyone else on Stock unmodified. I doubt it though, since I'm sure Huawei would have caught this. Perhaps it is a number formatting issue. Can you try formatting your number differently? Assuming you are in North America you can try:

+1AAABBBCCCC

+1 (AAA) BBB-CCCC

+1 AAA-BBB-CCCC

1AAABBBCCCC

AAABBBCCCC

Anyone else have this issue? If it *is* formatting, I think [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] has a "cust mod" available though I didn't need to use it.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
I have the same issue on Stock unmodified and Custom ROM. I will try modifying the number format now and report back.

The weird thing is, in my car, while on Bluetooth, if anyone calls that is in my phone book, their Name and number show up on my Nav screen, but only the number on the phone.

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

I just tested a few numbers and you were right on point, Added +1 in front of the number and now it shows on Caller ID. (I wonder if I should try other formats opposed to just the +1 or does it really matter as long as the +1 works?)

So this is an Android 6 issue, because I did not have the issue with Android 5, did they not standardize the calling number to an international format in Android 6?

Now I just gotta figure out how to export all the numbers, add the +1, and import them back. We shouldn't have to do this, but I guess we do, Lol.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
This has to be something in the cust because this is not normal. Maybe try flashing the cust mod and see if that helps.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Excuse my ignorance, What Cust Mod?

[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
I'll give this a shot.....
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
So I flashed the B211 Universal Cust .zip to my 703L on KangVIP B211 and it did NOT change the caller ID issue. I still need to put a 1 or +1 in front of the number to get the names in my phone book to show on the screen when they're calling in (works fine over Bluetooth on the Nav Screen in the car)

I did notice the B211 Universal Cust .zip changed a lot of stuff back to stock. Under About Phone The Build number changed from Kang to stock, under Mobile Network the preferred network type no longer has all the Kang options, etc.

Was I not suppose to try this on KangVIP 703L? I'm definitely not back to stock because I still have the Kang ROM Attributes.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
It really doesn't matter what the Build name says in about phone as it's just a simple text edit in the local.prop in cust/cmcc/prop and cust/dualcu/prop. You can change the build ID to say whatever you want. The phone number issue I'll have to check out and see if it happens for me. I'm not sure if it happened on my 703L or not but it doesn't on my 702L converted to a 703L.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Appreciate the feedback and knowledge.

FYI, I have two 703L's and one is completely stock, never rooted, etc, never installed KangVIP ROM, just updated from B112 to B211 OTA, and both devices have the same issue with the number only showing on the device when someone calls, but yet the name and number will show up on the Nav screen in the car over Bluetooth. If this helps. Everything worked fine on B112, so I assumed it is a Android 6 issue.

Also, Just so you know I tried everything like saving all contacts to a vcf file, then deleting all my contacts, rebooting, saving contacts back to gmail account, saving to phone, etc, nothing worked. I even deleted all my contacts from gmail out on the web to no avail.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
I've received B211 OTA update notification yesterday, although I'm rooted and TWRP installed, however when attempting to download I've received the following warning.

Should I go on and update or not? Advices are appreciated.

Oh, one more thing my device and hence the Hisuit are unable to detect my X2, despite that I've updated the Hisuit, any ideas?.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
Never mind all is well, just OTA updated to B211, camera and overall experience seems to be much better.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Thanks for the feedback hagba! Can you please let us know how the battery life when you had a chance to evaluate. If possible, please list some pros and cons - this would be really helpful.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] aniym:
Hey E--Man, I'm also in Canada (703L on Virgin Mobile) and unfortunately am not seeing the update notification. I'm on stock B112, and I haven't modified the ROM in any way since purchasing the phone in Dec 2015.

I'm just coming across this thread now. I put my SIM back into the X2 today after a couple of weeks of using a Blackberry Passport. I have however been using the X2 on wifi throughout this period as I have my games and video on it, and web browsing is so much better on its awesome screen.

I noticed you're on Fido. Is your model also the 703L, or something else?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
Everything seems to be snappier, camera seems to be better, there is a step counter a la my Samsung S7 Edge style now, different animation etc..at first I had problem with the push email, however after removing/reinstalling my account seems to be working fine now.

as for the battery it is even more awesome than before, after 14 hours of playing with it , taking pictures, setting it up, browsing, almost one hour of Italia vs Belgium soccer streaming, now it reads at 81% battery left, all in all I'm satisfied.

Remains rooting it, that will I do once TWRP for MM is available here and also when this FW is available online, since in case something goes wrong I need to have a backup.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Hi mine is 703L. From what I understand, only the 703L has received the official update thus far.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Hagba, thanks for your feedback. In the past some have said the battery is worse on EMUI 4.0 so I'm glad to hear your experience is better.

How about permission management and security, is there any functionality reduced with regards to permission management?

Also, I heard there is an issue with Google Account signing in since Huawei bundled an older version of gmscore with their B211 release. Do you have this issue? Not sure if I have the wording correct on this. Thankfully, [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] released a fix for this.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] hagba:
I had no issues in signing to Google, Google play store is working as it should, but then again I didn't do a factory wipe either, so I kept all of my settings and existing apps, otherwise may be could have had the issue you said.

Permission manager is the same as the old one, you need root to install some 3rd party applications as system apps to stop from closing when exited by task manager, like WhatsApp etc.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Thanks again. Sorry I made an error in my previous post. The issue is related to a Chrome login and effects the system partition so you would most likely experience this issue but not for sure since there are remnants of your Chrome login in the data partition from the upgrade. If it works and you log out, you may not be able to log back in. Please confirm.

But I want to try the stock without any Chinese app or reference or features of settings..

Signed out and in couple of times no such problem, my entire bookmarks were synced back both times.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yeah. On a fresh install I had the issue of not being able to sign into Chrome. I could reproduce the error every time I went back to stock. It's the GmsCore that was the problem. After replacing the original version with the latest version the problem goes away. I have a 702L converted to a 703L.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
I just installed B211 and I am slightly disappointed.

A few of questions:

* The view mode got much smaller. I tried changing it to "Large" from medium and rebooted but now it's way too big.

* The new dialer app no longer uses swipe method to answer calls which is very important with a bar-style phone especially given its size. Any way to change this or revert back without being rooted?

* How come Huawei Phone Manager now needs access to not only my IMEI but also private stuff like my messages? I don't remember having to agree popup to that in EMUI 3.1 but I could be incorrect. That's a bit of an invasion of privacy. Notification center same thing. Many system apps show these general consent prompt to be able to use them. Which apps are collecting data and should be avoided?

* Which apps (especially Chinese ones) are bloat and can be safely uninstalled?

* How can I change the "swipe up from bottom round button" action from HiVoice to Google Voice Search?

* I noticed a different keyboard pops up when I am on a password field. Is this keyboard safe in terms of security? Not sure how trustworthy it is.

Thanks for reading/assisting.

When trying to open Gmail, I get the following

"UNKNOWN ISSUE WITH GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES".

I uninstalled the Gmail app and reinstalled, same issue. Everything else seems to be working okay. Cleared cache and data in Google Play Services as well. Any one else getting this?

Cleared Cache, Dalvik, and fixed permissions in TWRP, didn't help either.

(FYI, Takes like a solid 10 minutes for phone to restart After TWRP clear and permission fix, stays on honor screen for the whole 10 minutes)

FYI I installed "open_gapps-arm64-6.0-micro-20160607.zip"

Same here in ViewMode Large Mode is too large.

Some China Apps you can in Settings-APPS uninstall,but not all (I am on B201 from GEM 702L,no China Apps and Bloatware is installed)

Permissions can be in System-APPS and extended down set to.

You have to take a little time to find everything,it's unlike 5.1.1

Voice search no idea whether I can change that do not use it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sahil sharma:
hello everyone. I am back on Android after using the initial HTC M7 for an year and then migrating back to iOS. With new nothing new on iOS atleast for an year and the fact that my i6 broke, i thought it was the perfect time to try Android in its new avatar. Used the LG G5 for a week, but then shifted to S7 Edge (this phone felt a bit premium and had a bigger screen). I would like to tell Android certainly feels liberating after iOS. I can download torrents, stream stuff, customize my phone etc. Overall feels good.

Anyway too much of history. It would be great if members can help me with two things. First I just cant get albumArt of Now Playing music on my lock screen. It just shows a widget. The LG G5 used to show the full Album Art so I realize its not a Marshamallow issue but Samsung specific. So guys please help me in getting back the album art. Some blogs suggested changing the launcher, but then that disables fingerprint unlock.

Second is my Standby time. There is a considerable battery drain when phone is idle. Is this normal for android? I know my iPhone would hardly sip battery when in standby. Anything i can do to improve this? Furthermore can someone give a ball park figure of percentage dip in standby for an hour.?

Thanks in advance

here majority of the time it drops to 3g and when it does the internet doesn't work at all.

lost count how many times I've had to search again for my network just to refresh the signal.

the antenna in this phone was poorly placed. putting sim in slot 1/2 doesn't matter.

I've gone back to my nexus 5 with zero problems on 4g.

3.5G umtcs however it does, which is close to 4G speeds. But I do not know how many towers in the US run those frequencies, I will post my findings if I can get HSPA+ or above on a regular basis.

I have noticed my signal fluctuate a lot, Sad that the most basic feature is the most troublesome, this phone comes so close. I wonder if this is something development can resolve or if its just a poor radio.

Now no matter what I do, (charge it, try to get into recovery/fastboot, connect it to the pc) only thing it does is get stuck on the same screen.

I thought i would flash the stock firmware but then the piece of shizz doesn't boot into recovery so can't do that either.
