[Huawei P8max] AWFRONT:
I and many of you are still waiting for the Android 6.0 for our precious P8Max DAV-701L but if the rumours here are true then I am off to ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra in no time......(Please Pay attention to the second paragraph in particular);

http://christiantimes.com/article/asus-zenfone-3-release-date-news-device-coming-soon-with-snapdragon-821-powered-deluxe-version/57648.htm

BECAUSE: I hate the fact that P8Max DAV-701L does not have any developer support (when I go into the ASUS forums on XDA, its like heaven-LoL), also Huawei support is really ****** call it whatever you like. I only wish somone could port Resurrection Remix ROM to P8 Max, thats all I am asking for to make my P8Max DAV-701L last for a long long time. They are officially the #3 phone maker in the world but I am not sure if they deserve it. Lets hope they read this angry statement and actually do the right thing for the end user.
[Huawei P8max] m00h:
Relax, the lack of dev support isn't much Huawei related. P8max isn't a typical device, not many people want to wear a brick in their pockets, so the phone that large will probably never gain enough popularity and have a high attachment rate. The things with the Asus Zenfone won't be that different, a phone with such a small userbase will probably never get enough attention for a proper dev support.
[Huawei P8max] mechimichi:
I am with WhySoSeriousJoker on the MiMax.

Too bad, that phone doesnt support band 20 LTE. I also dislike the white front. Just awful. In spite of these drawbacks i couldnt resist and ordered the 652/3GB version from china. Good to hear, that there is a CM13 available for this model.

I still love my P8Max. It is a pitty the DAV 701 is lacking support from Huawei but it is still running smooth and battery life is extraordinary. Will keep both phones
[Huawei P8max] greddy:
i love also my p8max, but now only for backup. I wait for the 652/64GB Mi Max and then i order.

greets, Peter
[Huawei P8max] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
The Honor Note 8 is also nice, but no band 20 (800 mhz) :(
[Huawei P8max] greddy:
i never buy again phone without snapdragon cpu = no roms = never again huawei

My next phone is xiaomi max, best battery from all big phones, nice size, nice roms :) (for me no need Band 20) :)

greets, Peter
[Huawei P8max] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
But that one is in white and thats a big no go for me. I will try the Asus first. It is in black, same size, support band 20 and has a Snapdragon cpu.
[Huawei P8max] DaneLaw:
the succesor to P8max seems to be Huawei Honor V8 Max (also called Huawei Honor Note8)

carrying an 2k AMOLED display at 6.6 and 2016 Huawei flag ship specs, so not as thin as p8max but around the samw weight as P8max ewen thow 6.6inch..

http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_note_8-8231.php

the camera specs are in line with P8max, any familiar if its the same back camera-module fra P8max they are suiting the Honor Note8 up with?

it does manage 4k video, in regards to P8max, but that was likely down to limting-hardware on p8max rather then cam-module limitasions.
[Huawei P8max] bm3epps:
LTE

I am lost as to why people are only sold on LTE..I have the Mi Max and I get T-Mobile H+ which is just as fast as LTE in my area, but I am waiting on my Honor Note 8 to come and will probably sell the Mi Max
[Huawei P8max] kingkea:
Good luck selling it. I've had the toughest time ever. I wish I hadn't paid so much for mine.
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
Why are you selling it?
[Huawei P8max] kingkea:
I think at this point I'm ready for something smaller. And something without notification issues. The really important apps notifications work on just fine.
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
So you're selling your Mi Max or your P8 Max?
[Huawei P8max] kingkea:
P8 Max
[Huawei P8max] cashif:
Pretty like minded folks in here.

Even, I have had enough of P8Max - I hate that the permission keeps resetting and I have to change permission for my VPN and other apps every f**king time phone is idle (Never got around to rooting coz of lack of ROMs). Wanted to buy Zenfone Ultra but Asus priced themselves out ($800 in India!). So, took the plunge and bought Mi Max 32gb (only around $200), so if i feel it feels smaller and/or dont like it, gonna chuck and retain p8max (Will try to root then!)
[Huawei P8max] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Got the Honor Note 8 now and this one is better than my P8max. The price was only €400 for 4GB/128GB by Flosmall . The screen is of couse much nice and its alot smoother. Only downside is Chinees model, so many Chinees apps, no original Google apps and no 4G band 20 800mhz. I hope that they release a EU model like the Honor 8 and P8max.
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Yeah lets hope the release a EU Model without any support like the P8Max EU modell! ;)
[Huawei P8max] cashif:
Just did not have good feeling, so cancelled my Mi Max Order as going from P8Max to Mi Max feels like a Stepdown (It is!).

How is the phone? Does it look different from P8max and has it been rooted yet? Hopefully they will launch international version as that has been my biggest peeve with P8max. Just today rooted my P8max after having for one year and dont want to again get stuck with chinese bloatwares.
[Huawei P8max] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Yeah the Chinees model is better in that, there was already a

update ;)

There are pictures from a black color (gsmarena, versus), but i could not find it. :( In China only gold and silver/white, so i bought the gold one. I hope that black color still comes, because my wish is a new big black phone like the Sony Z Ultra :o

Honor Note 8 vs Huawei p8max:

https://versus.com/en/huawei-honor-note-8-vs-huawei-p8max
[Huawei P8max] cashif:
Dont need spec comparison. Do inform your personal hands-on experience with respect to P8max.

Also, since the internals are exactly the same as P9; I think it can be easily rooted with SRK tool and even few roms are available for P9 which could be ported. Have you been able to install Gapps yet?
[Huawei P8max] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
I feels great in my hand, around your hand its thinner and the weight is lighter than the P8max. You can install all Google apps in the Huawei Store app :)
[Huawei P8max] eastcyber:
Just about my only grouse with these large screen phones is the lack of NFC. P8Max would be perfect with it.
[Huawei P8max] DaneLaw:
P8max 703L (chinese version) have no problem on LTE+ here in northern EU Scandinavia after latest upgrade EMUI4.0 M6.0. getting 80mb down and 50mb up here in Copenhagen Denmark on 4G.. :cowboy:

we got two 703L here in household and both manage 4G'LTE after latest upgrade.

http://xdaforums.com/p8max/general/703l-4glte-support-emui4-0-android-6-0-t3444090

any recommendable app that shows what LTE band are in play.?

and latest upgrade doesnt seem to have slow the Huawei down, comming in at 4175 stock-standard in Geekbench3 in 32bit.. is quite decent for an 2015 2Q with 3GB. and partically for the price paid.. first P8max was the 64gb in silver the socalled premium model with with better headphones, original browncover etc.. purchased short after released at Banggood for 490US delivered, and nr2 was the standard 32GB titanium dark grey model purchase late 2015 as i recall, but costed attractive 290US delivered at Aliexpress.. that certainly a lot of premuim-finish for that value at the time.
[Huawei P8max] notsure7:
Please install some app to check lte bands. If they unlock B20 in Honor note 8 i will buy it even today :)
[Huawei P8max] cashif:
After procrastinating for one week (My B'day was last week), finally decided and bought Honor Note 8 Silver 64Gb version for around $430 (DHL shipping) from Ali Express.

According to http://willmyphonework.net/ Note 8 LTE is compatible with Indian LTE bands, so went for it. If only, someone could at the least root it before I receive, I will be very very happy.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Hello,

The B211 update has been released! This thread is to generally discuss, provide feedback on, and provide tips and tricks on the OFFICIAL STOCK Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0 ROM from Huawei.

* 5/30/2016: Though the OTA update has been released, the official ROM is not yet available on the Huawei site. I will post a link once available.

Please share your experiences with the new ROM in comparison to the Android 5.1 B112 EMUI 3.1 version, in terms of battery life, added/removed features, speed performance, etc.

View attachment 3766946
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I wonder, because 211 had still bugs. For example multiscreen/miracast did not work.

Audio is still on non standard, and not on 6.0 level with USB audio support and more than factor 10 better latency.

Are you registered betatester? If yes, this might be the version we already have.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
He was recognizing a Ota. If you don't get a message of newer firmware on update firmware menu, than there is nothing. I have never heard of a beta test for 5.11 nor 6.0 for the 701.

Simply convert it and you will get all and loose nothing maybe except for the guaranty of your vendor. But this might has been already lost when you had unlocked the bootloader.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] iamhcg:
I noticed something strange.

When I was on B211 of gem703l, the miracast didn't work. I use Chromecast by the way.

But now I am back on B201 of gem-702l, the miracast actually works. I am watching a movie through miracast to Chromecast now.

I don't know why.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Yesterday i go back to original B112,no root and Trwp.No Ota is coming!Are you Beta Tester?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Nope. I am not a beta tester. You might want to retry periodically, and make sure you have the original stock recovery installed.

You can also clear your cache and/or dalvik cache, or, cache of Updater application.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Maybe it's because of your region. [MENTION=218518]E-MAN[/MENTION] where are you located?

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
I am in Canada, but I don't think it makes a difference between USA and Canada (assuming you are in the US), North America should be the same.

There was someone else getting this update in German forum. He has an original 703 which was running 112 stock.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Thanks. Can you advise what "serious" bug the poster on the German forum is referring to?

I'll put a "known bugs" section in the OP.

Also, if I wait for B212, will I need to post B211 before installing that?

WEIRD: I have 2 of the 703L Bought same day, using them in the same house, only one is showing the OTA Update.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Version B209/ B211 is already discussed in AJ's thread. Known bugs already posted there.

I refferred to the crash on each boot which flashes shortly. I think this is the multi window or miracast, which does not work and crashes if you call the setting.

I have just mentioned that in the German thread.

I suppose this has to do something with the effect on 701/702 phones.

Your thread makes sense for those users, who have a origin 703. Maybe you don't have this problems.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Is there a way to get the seperate DPI Modus for each App back?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Not in EMUI, but in the module 'App Settings'. For this install the

xposed Installer,

then framework xposed-v84-sdk23-arm64.zip

Then download module and Seek for App settings 1.13 (maybe direc Download from developer necessary for neweset Version)

Check the module and Reboot and wait about 20 minutes for the system building the odex files for dalvic.

Then search your app within app settings, which you want to configure.

Please report back if you are successful.

I was successful with framework 80 on b209

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Did you change build.prop? Enable/Disable Resource Hooks?

Allread tried this on B209 didn't work for me.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
you are right. Indeed there must be a patch in build.prop.

http://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765

This patch allows not to set the checkbox for disabling api resource.

On AJ's Roms this is already integrated. So I had not to worry about.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Hirs_E_Fruit:
It dont work or I just do it wrong!

Not sure what i have to set in app settings to change it and get it to work.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Do you have a green message framework .. active?

Other xposed module work?

Unchecked disable api ?

Which version framework?

Which version app settings?

In app settings set switch on for App

Set dpi and font size and store.

restart app or reboot to take effect.

Having a brain cramp this morning, do we need to remove TWRP to take this update?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Hirs_E_Fruit:
yes, ota only with stock recovery
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Been a while since I've done an OTA update, Thanks! Guess it's time to remove TWRP and get back to Stock Recovery.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
No OTA after two Days on Stock B112 with Stock Recovery and unrooted!Yes i have GEM 703L
[Huawei MediaPad X2] JoeDante:
I removed SuperSU, replaced TWRP with stock recovery and downloaded the OTA Update, but when I try to install the update on my 703, I get an error after maybe 2%.

I am on B112 now.

Anyone know why and how I can fix this?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
100% unrooted with the UPDATE.APP,or how did you unrooted?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] JoeDante:
I used SuperSU's unroot option to remove root.

Should I copy the UPDATE.APP in DLOAD folder and try manual update?

Update says "Software install failed! Failed to check update files. Please download the package again."
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
This is too little, it remains something left by the root.

Yes Power Off and Press all 3 Buttons at the same Time starts up the update.

Does not that,flash the System,Cust,Cache,Boot,Recovery and Userdata img from the extracted B112 UPDATE.APP via Fastboot,Flash the Update.App and make a Factory Reset.

Then, the update should work
[Huawei MediaPad X2] JoeDante:
Will try!

Thank you very much!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
i forgot to say,Factory Reset with delete Internal Storage.

Make a Backup from your Internal Storage if what is important it otherwise everything is gone
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
I wonder if they stopped pushing it out.... I have one device that caught it and one that did not. Identical devices in the same house purchased the same time. Don't they go by IMEI number?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
It could be that they ate rolling it out slowly
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
I am having the same issue, have you got passed this yet? If so what did you do?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Tried Update 10 times. Will not take. I think I'm going to have to factory reset, and try again?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] JoeDante:
Yes, I managed to install B211.

I flashed the .img's with fastboot, rebooted, did a factory reset and used OTA update.

Everything went fine, untill I tried to restore my phone with Huawei Backup. That ****ed everything up!

Then I had to do a factory reset again, and now I am installing all my apps from scratch.

BTW, does anyone know how to turn off the lockscreen and how I can get write permissions on external sd card?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
How long did you guys wait before giving up? Sometimes it stays steady for a few minutes but finishes successfully.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I had good experiences with Huawei backup. It's important to use the same newest version on backup and restore.

In some cases the reinstallation does not work, because of licence check or different configuration files for Android 5 and 6. The permissions will be asked on the apps first launch, because this is new in Android 6.

In some cases you have to set options to let your app continue running after screen is off, our set completely ignore battery optimisation.

I had to fix not more than 10% of my apps. So the restore helped me in 90%. A fresh installation is not a fault, but many apps have complex configurations for individual usages. If you can remember all these is still a long process.

As compromise you could do a partial backup with those apps, which have complex data.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] JoeDante:
Everything works now!

Rooted wit SuperSU, but you have to type in terminal command first.:

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

or you will get bootloop.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elio321:
Why do I not get B211 OTA ? I am on B112 and in the UK..and have stock recovery... would being rooted stop the OTA ? if so, how can I unroot ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Mine quit all 10 times between 2% & 5%, never made it past 5%.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

I'm sure the update is probably being pushed out in increments geographically by IMEI. I have 2 703L in the same house and only one got the update so far. No rhyme or reason. The root will NOT prevent you from getting the update, but will prevent you from installing it. Use SuperSU settings menu to unroot.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Germano1980:
The OTA update came to me, here in São Paulo, Brazil, on 31 May.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
FYI, after rebooting the device without downloading the update, the Updater app no longer finds the update and says "No Updates" when checking.

Seems like it's a random event.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Very Random. Hopefully they will have the official download for it here soon.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
If you don't mind me asking, when you say this is the "Stock B211 full update". Is this from Huawei, fully functional, released for the MediaPad Glory 703L, or is it farmed from something else?

Or maybe the question is better asked, is it different from what we will get here when Huawei releases it?

Thanks!

I don't know why it fails on 06% mine boot-loader unlocked, no root - B205

i'm using dload method

[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Having same issue. Have you tried both dload and local update method? Just curious.

I tried just doing just a factory Reset before taking the update, but that did nothing as well. SMH....
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Have you made factory reset and tried again?

Which recovery did you flash?

I am not sure, if we have a link for a extractd recovery.img for B209 or B211.

It could be included that update.app wich is inside the update.zip for the b211, which AJ offers to download.

Otherwise this version requires stock b112 and recovery 112.

Try to install this and check again.

Make factory reset Lin EMUI, if it fails again.

My device: 701->703 Kang VIP B209
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
Yes, tried Factory reset first,update still failed. Using THIS Stock recovery that I flashed back to the device after un-rooting. Going to try to flash entire stock B112 back to device then try update again.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rekamyenom:
SUCCESS FINALLY:

This is what I had to do. I downloaded GEM 703L B112 5.1.1 Firmware HERE, installed as instructed, it took with no problems straight from the local update in update menu, then did a local update again with the B211 update.zip in this post and it worked fine (rebooting and optimizing now).

Obviously something is happening to prevent the update when rooting, replacing the stock recovery with TWRP, then un-rooting, and flashing the stock recovery back.

THANKS TO ALL THAT CONTINUE TO HELP.....

Hope this helps someone
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Well this is recovery was the wrong one. It's only for Android 5.0

Okay so I got the KANGVIP_SLIM_B211.zip ROM to write to the phone. TWRP was rebooting everytime I tried to write it, I had to put the ROM on a different SD all by itself. Strange....

So now how do I get back to "Stock B211"...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
You on B211?

You must be Systemless Command “echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu“

(Boot in TWRP 6 and go Advanced/Terminal Command/Select and write:echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu and press GO )after this flash the Supersu.zip

or lighter

flash Systemless Supersu from ajsmsg78 Download

I have been attempting to install B211 but it kept on getting stuck at 9%. I have no choice but to just stick with b205 as it is the only update that is installing on my x2. I hope huawei will release the full UPDATE.app for b211 soon.
