Thanks audioralf you are a life saver. would you mind giving me the link for stock recovery. and b202. i am currently on Simply International 6.0.

Thanks in advance
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Did you toggle it on and off in settings? It sounds like something didn't go right when you converted to a 702L. KangVIP Slim and Simply International are both based off of stock EMUI so both should have the same stability.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] naeemdurrani:
Thanks [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION], i have been a big fan of yours.. have been reading only in xda mediapad x2 forum for years now and always appreciated your teachings. honestly speaking you are a legend. and thanks for keeping this device alive.

above post by [MENTION=3792009]audioralf[/MENTION] was a life saver i successfully dload B202 and then again flashed kangvip and i have finally got double tap to wake after so many years. [MENTION=3792009]audioralf[/MENTION] Thank you speacially!

i have found kangvip v4 very good and stable only one thing is annoying. that is mobile data ..when i toggle mobile data from status bar it dont turn on and crashes, where as when i go into settings > mobile data it turns on from there. do you have any fix for it? all else is going fine except this issue.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Thank you for the compliment! I'll have to look into that. It could be an issue in KangVIP v4 which this rom is based off of. Have you tried Simply International? Does it happen in there as well?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] naeemdurrani:
Yes i have also tried Simply International, it is much smoother and that mobile data toggle is working fine there. it is only in Kangvip. the only reason i went back to kangvip is that K settings in settings. if you can bring those settings in simply international? Please fix it.

Hi ajsmsg78, and thanks for your hard work

I am another user but I had this exact same issue except that I am still in trouble with the phone manager crash even after disabling the smart tune up feature. (703L)

Is there anything else that I should have done?

Regards
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You either had a bad flash or removed something related to the phone manager. I would do a dirty flash and see if the problem goes away. I test on a 703L and don't have any issues with the Phone Manager app.

Any Simpler Instructtion For Novices

I have the International version of the Huawei Mediapad GEM-702L. I need the Android version updated from 5.0.1 Lollipop to 6.0 Mashmalow. But all these instructions are certainly too technical for me. I will spend a year trying to figure out these terms and guidelines. The question: is there an app that would help simplify all this or is there a technician I can pay to update the phone’s Android Version to 6.0? Thanks everyone
[Huawei MediaPad X2] LH88:
Hi AJ, is there a way to add (double tap to wake) into your Apr-12-2018 B206 ROM ? or how can we do to let the real official B206 ROM to have (double tap to wake) ? any recommended APP to use ? I guess the newer kernel do not support (double tap to wake). but really hope to have another way to wake the screen instead of to press the power key or to "talk" to wake the screen. thanks.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Double tap to wake should work in that build, it's enabled.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] LH88:
sorry I said wrong. the correct I want to say is : can (Double tap to wake) to work on B206's 2018-Mar-1 original stock kernel ? or is there a way to let

(Double tap to wake) to work on B206's 2018-Mar-1 original stock kernel ?

I know you now have changed to put 2016-Oct-10 kernel in (simply international B206) rom, it works find, but I have download stock B206 ROM

from internet, it looks act faster, but, it can not work (Double tap to wake). I guess the newer kernel may be faster.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
No, it's disabled in that kernel.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] naeemdurrani:
you are definately right, last night i tried b206, it looked much faster and smoother than b202 and b205, but double tap was not working so in the morning today i did dload b202 and then flashed [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] flashable b205 to get b205 with double tap
[Huawei MediaPad X2] LH88:
noted & thanks for reply.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] LH88:
if you want, you can try to flash to use C158-B203 (Taiwan version for 702L's rom), I just found C158-B203 rom's kernel is build in 2016-Dec-12 which is newer by about 2 months to (flashable B205) rom's (2016-Oct-10 kernel), & (2016-Dec-12 kernel) can work double tap to wake function too.

also, B203's (2016-Dec-12 kernel) is originally to work for 702L phone, but, (2016-Oct-10 kernel) is originally to work for 703L's B212 rom, (I mean Flashable B205 rom is a 702L's rom with 703L's kernel).

I feel B203 is about same speed as flashable B205 (but B206 is still faster). however, I guess C158-B203 rom maybe more stable, as it is a stock rom.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] coooooolee:
Thank you! ajsmsg78, I've been tried every version of the Mediapad X2 rom that you made and really appreciate your hard working, admire your superb technology. Both our X2 are kept alive by your effort.

BTW, I was wondering if the newest version of rom "GEM-703L B227 Rooted Debloated (8-8-18).zip" is international version?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
just some security update it appears (and lose double tap to wake) - from what I saw on the other thread, not worth 'upgrading' to.

Sorry I meant the B227 stock not ajsmsg78's great work

-the latest Kang ROM is simply amazing (tried both that and the International for 702-L and settled on the Kang for its extra features) Thanks aksmsg78 for all your hard work!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
No it's based off of the Chinese verison but with some prop and xml mods I made it function similar to the International version so it should work fine on your device.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Merkules:
Hello i use the latest Version of your Rom. My Problem is that the Huawei Phone Manager crashes every 2seconds. I tried to factory reset my device but same Problem. What can i Do? Its a 701 device. :confused:
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Go into the Phone Manager app, tap the settings icon and disable smart tune-up. You may have had a bad flash also.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Merkules:

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
[MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION], Stock 702L B207 OTA is available in firmware finder, do you plan to do a simply international B207?

Thks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Are the changes just a Security Patch or were there other changes? Huawei Firmware Finder has been down as they got hacked so I'm not sure when it will be up again.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Didn't try to download through firmware finder yet indeed, just saw the update here .

Can someone with a 702L stock rom try out firmware finder app please

Changelog seems to descrive security patches indeed, at leats! Hope you'll be able [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] to update simply international to B207 (meaning firmware finder will work for you or another user here).

thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
There's no need to update to this build as it's just a new security patch. It would be nice if Huawei released Nougat for the X2 but I doubt that will ever happen.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Team MT database is still down today. I hope it'll be back one day!

Security pathces are not great upodate indeed, but it's always a good stuff to have your Simply Interntional rom based on very last official ROM. So if I can grab 702L's B207, I'll let you know to hopefully see Simply international B207 out ;)

On my opinion, best chance to have a working Nougat on X2, is when someone will help you on your LineageOS 14 project
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I will try to fix the GPS on LineageOS 14 and see what I can do. My time has been limited so I'm not sure when I'll have the time to try and fix it. It's very time consuming doing the testing. Huawei Firmware Finder is back up and working now.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Good piece of news. If you have a little time, that'll be great to cook us a Simply international B207 (I'll use it right away!!), that will be less time consuming than working on LineageOS14 (save it for later, when free time will be back!)

thanks again!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
New Simply International B207 should be available shortly.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Updated to B207, updated Google Apps and added in some notifications, ringtones and alarm sounds.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] robigo47:
I've dirty flashed this rom over B206 simply international. So far no problems. All is working fine. Good to have updated security patch level.

Thanks at AJ for enduring work on this rom

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mouse723:
Thanks AJ, find a time to try again.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] HuaSamSony:
Dirty flashed 2 days ago, everything working fine, seems to be more smooth than before.

Again many thx for your work!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
great work, AJ, dirty flashed over B206, All is working smooth. Thank You very much!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
I did a dirty flash on my wifes Mediapad X2 GEM 701L and a reboot. (the device was on B206 before) .The bootsplash stays for more than 20 minutes and so I powered off the mediapad. After that, the device did not start again. It got stuck at the "honor" splash without the normally appearing "red flash" at the "h".

I tried to do a factory reset, but this was not successful. So I had to flash the 701L-STOCK-RECOVERY with fastboot. After that I flashed Android_6_B205_dload_Flashable, using the origin Huawei update procedure. The device started well and was working smooth. I did a reboot and went into TWRP to restore the last backup to avoid a manual full restore by installing all the apps and data. Now the device ist booting forabout 20 minutes and stays at the "honor" splash *with* the "red flash" at the "h". I do not know, if this behavior is normal, maybe, because the cash will be restored for all the installed apps.

I will wait for an hour and if the device is still bootig, I will go back to the Android_6_B205_dload_Flashable and flash the B207 over it and install all the apps again. Hope, I can avoid this, because it is a lot of work to do this ...

[EDIT]

my last post "I did a dirty flash" was the flash on my own mediapad. My wife and I we are using the same mediapad (both GEM 701L) and on my own device, version B207 is running smooth and very well.

[/EDIT]

Is there someone who can give me a hint, ?

Sorry for my bad english, this is not my motherlanguage.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Something has to be different between the two phones. I'm not sure what it can be if they are both the same. Try flashing KangVIP Slim and see if that boots. Then try flashing Simply International over it and see if it boots.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
I did a complete full install, but now, I cannot activate Whatsapp Messenger, because the rooted device. Whatsapp tells me: Your are using a rooted device or a custom rom, Whatsapp does not support custom roms nor rooted devices"

It is impossible to activate Whatsap Messenger. I tried to hide the superuser , did a reboot, but it does not work.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
I did a full new installation and now the B207 is running, maybe the flash from B206 to B207 was "too dirty" or corrupt. Restore the existing TWRP backup, is useless, because it does not boot. I think, the Backup will be corrupted too. It seems, that one of the required partitions will be not found.

Is there a way to extract some data from the system-Partition ?

Is it possible to restore parts of the TWRP Backup to a different device ?

We got 3 Mediapad X2 GEM 701 here, so two of them could be used.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You can open the twrp backups with WinRAR on your pc and extract the data from them and move it into your data/app or data/data folder.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
Is there anbody out there (free like PinkFloyd), who can help me , activateing Whatsapp ?

As I wrote, Whatsap shows, that activateing is not longer supported on rooted devices or devices with custom Rom installed.

Hiding superuser is not the solution, because, I tried it already.

I would be glad, if someone can help me out.

Thank You all and kind regards :)

I just activated WhatsApp on my rooted OnePlus 6 and it activated fine. I wonder if maybe it won't work with SuperSU and only Magisk?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
I am still using WhatsApp on my rooted GEM-703L without any issues (KANGVIP SLIM B212 v4)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
that may be right, but You will not be able to activate whatsapp an a different rooted device, when whatsapp was not activeted there before. This is a new part of the whatsapp security policy. When I am right, this was introduced about 2 Months ago. As I went back to my wifes old device (whatsap was activated on it, before the device chrashed) and set it up, again, actevateing was possible, but not on a different rooted device.

[MENTION=3792009]audioralf[/MENTION]: negative, even without knowing anything about that thread, I did the same steps by instinct.

I but it does not work. The first message was "whatsapp is not reachable at this moment, please try again in 5 minutes. At the same time, whatsapp works perfect on a different device and the device, whatsapp could not be activaed had internet connection.

I cannot test it again, because I reinstalled the old device, where whatsapp was activated still before.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Do you mean, you returned to B206 and the problem disappeared?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
no.

We got 3 Mediapad X2 GEM 701 here. When I updated my own device from B206 to B207, everything went fine and is working fine. At my wifes device, the device did not boot anymore after update from B206 to B207, so I tried the third device and flashed it "from scratch". (B202 to get DT2W working, then B205, B206 and finally B207), everything was working fine, but the activation for whatsapp (see my post upper).

I hoped, to save my wifes device, to get the data, stored at the internal memory after flashing the third device (which is our backupdevice, if one of the other ones will be broken).

Because of the whatsapp behavior, I went back to my wifes "original device" and there whatsapp could be reactiveted after flashing from scratch. Now both devices are running fine on B207 simply international from AJ.

AJ, I can not say it often enough, thank you very much for your really great work and for keeping alive this fabulous device.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
Hi there, something must be changed between the ROM , existed at the time of this post I quoted, because, if I follow the steps and install the current version of B207, DT2W does not work any longer . After flashing B202, DT2W is working fine ,

What did I do? ->

I flashed B202 (dload), activated DT2W it works, Did a reboot, and flashed B205 (dload) and DT2W doesn not work anymore.

Any Ideas ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
it is solved. In the past, I flashed the B205 before flashing the B207. Now, I didn't flash B205 before. I flashed the B207 after actitating DT2W in B202 right after B202 and DT2W is working well. Now I have B207 and all is working well.

[MENTION=360117]MalcomX[/MENTION], what would you suggest me for a X2 using this rom to get Whatsapp working (never installed on it)?

thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
Hello Djiban, meanwhile, I got Whatsapp working. I think, a bad flash was the reason of my issue. I did a. backup in Whatsapp, before flashing the latest B207. Do not flash the B205, because I recognized, that DT2W is not working anymore after flashing B205. I did a factory reset , flashed B202 and activated DT2W and did a reboot. After that, I flashed B207 and everything is working fine. DT2W and Whatsapp and all the other APPs, I installed. Push is working, too. My Device is a GEM 701 (from Germany). Any Questions? Feel free to ask :)

Hey! I have simply international and rooted with supersu. If I want to remove root can i just do a full unroot from supersu app? Will it keep my ROM and apps intact? Thx if someone has the time to answer!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
If you want to unroot the rom, just do it inside the app supersu. There will be a hint, how to do. Your Apps will still work fine, but without any root permissions. No need to flash a different rom.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Hi everyone.

I've juste installed B207 simply international on a 701L device (softwarely turned into a 702L , then updated incrementaly to B207 official).

Unfortunately GPS just doesn't work at all. I thought this issue was fixed with previous simply international roms. That quite a problem, as I want to use this device as daily phone.

[MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] any idea what to do. Any chance U have a simple fix (maybe change some files?). Do I have to dirty flash B207 simply international, or another Simply international rom?

I know that's [MENTION=3792009]audioralf[/MENTION] uses official and rooted B206 on his 701L. Do you think your simply international last rom cannot be as stable as this official rom?

thanks a lot for your help to make me use your rom as daily rom....
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Can you go back to official B207 then zip up the /system folder and send it to me? Also send me the /cust folder as well? Unfortunately the 701L is tricky as it is the "runt of the litter" so to speak and is slightly different than the 702L and 703L as it never got any Android version updates right? I also never had a 701L to test on so I could never fully tell what didn't work. Do you know if anyone else with a 701L has working GPS on Simply International? Does the same thing happen with KangVIP Slim? In the last KangVIP Slim even though the original ROM was based off of the Chinese ROM it still functions very similar to the International ROM after all the prop mods I did. If GPS isn't working at all then there has to be some kind of firmware mismatch on that 701L, like something didn't update properly or it's still running some old baseband. Try dirty flashing Simply International and see if GPS works then. Another thing you can try is converting it to a 703L instead then try Simply International or go back to B206 as I based Simply International B206 off of the full ROM as Huawei released a full B206. Another thing you can try is making a GEM-701L cust folder in special_cust and copying the contents of the special_cust from the 702L folder into the 701L folder. To be honest I think something is different in the 701L Kernel.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Thanks for your long answer. First of all, I'm going to dirty flash simply international b206.

I'll try later o' Tu zip you the official b207 folders
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Hi everyone. I finally have time to test my GPS. In fact the GPS-check apps returned no error, and I daily use Google maps with no issue.

Finally the problem is with my main GPS using app : Waze. I did a fresh reinstall of the app, and I'll test it when I'll have the right to use my car (quarantine time here in France). I'll let you know...

So I think that GPS works with this simply international B207 on 701L device. I just have a waze issue.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
A simple waze reinstallation solve the issue.

So I confirm that GPS works fine with this rom on a 701L device

That's weird. You can boot into TWRP and delete the locksettings.db files in data/system to remove the lock screen pin/pattern/password.
