Mine is also a backup phone now. I rarely use it to receive or make calls (maybe one a day for a couple of mins), has candy 7 installed and on standby with wifi and data off can go without charging for 7-8 days on avg. Before i installed C7 it had LOS 14.1 and showed 10 days standby time as i dont use it. Great phone when coupled with C7 or LOS 14.1.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
If you meant Lineage OS 14.1, unfortunately Mate 2 has been dropped and hence no more support.

You can switch to CandyROM or AOKP. AOKP ROM is on Android M though.

Candy 7.1.2 Build and Candy GAPPS

For those who would like to try it there is a new build of CandyROMS for the MT2 its a 7.1.2 build which should be pretty stable. I have Just flashed and set this up on just a couple of minutes ago for the family member I gave the phone to so I didn't really test much out. The only thing is that if you use Google contacts, Clock or Calendar you will need to hide or uninstall the duplicates of these apps installed with the ROM. There are Candy GAPPS as well they are two choices and should work on 32 and 64 bit phones . The Mini version includes:

Core Google syncing APKs (Google Play Services, SetupWizard, Google Play Store)

Core Google libs (Facelock, TTS)

Google App

Legacy support for swyping on AOSP LatinIME Keyboard

The Full version includes:

Everything in Mini

Google Messenger

Google Talkback

Google Hangouts

Google Clock

Google Calendar

Google Photos

Google Camera

Google Chrome

The Download link for the GAPPS is https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=174567

The Download link for the ROM is https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=174872

Like I said everything should be stable but I didn't do any testing with the phone to see. Hopefully you'll love the new features added and for those wondering the Security patch with this build is April 5.

That was my problem, I couldn't do anything using the newest version. I couldn't even wipe cache without errors. I had to go back to the previous version from https://android.cmphys.com/twrp-mt2/ to be able to flash anything.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Which version TWRP did you use from the link I posted and were you successful at installing the latest Nougat CandySeven ROM with it? I presume you were successful as you posted before, so how do you like the ROM so far?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I tried 3.1.1-0 and then dropped back 3.1.0.0 and no go. I noticed they dont have F2FS filesystem support. So all I kept getting was all the RED errors and FAILED. I went back to 3.1.N0-0 and the I was able to do it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Non of this is making any sense to me or verifiable by me since I'm still using CandySix.

Will be great to hear from [MENTION=900551]beastonprowl[/MENTION] on specific TWRP version used to flash latest CandySeven and confirmation that it was error free and ROM is working. :)

REFER POST # 108
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
TWRP versions

Ok, let me try and clarify a few things and eliminate any confusion I may have caused.

F2FS - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS

F2FS is apparently more efficient than ext4 filesystem, so it's the preferred filesystem to use for the system, data, and cache partitions if the ROM kernel supports it - which the Nougat ROM in this thread does.

So apparently the Huawei Ascent Mate 2 MT2-L03 official TWRP versions at https://dl.twrp.me/mt2l03/ don't support the F2FS filesystem, while the unofficial versions at https://android.cmphys.com/twrp-mt2/ to support F2FS.

I have not verified this works, but you should make a full TWRP backup if your want to switch system, data, and cache partitions from ext4 filesystem to F2FS, then reformat those partitions, then restore those partitions (see the following link for guidance - note the part about changing TWRP Settings-General to check the "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" checkbox which is only required if you are converting partition filesytsems like going from ext4 to F2FS).

See https://xdaforums.com/xperia-s/s-development/tutorial-migrate-filesystem-to-f2fs-ext4-t3004755

Note: Convert only system, data, and cache partitions to F2FS - NOT /sdcard like instructions in previous link state.

[MENTION=900551]beastonprowl[/MENTION],

Since your phone is working with the official TWRP, ext4 formatted partitions, you could continue that way or if you want to change the system, data, and cache partitions to F2FS, flash the latest make a full TWRP backup with your current official TWRP, then flash the unofficial TWRP twrp-3.1.N0-0-mt2.img and follow the guide above to convert system, data, and cache to to F2FS and restore them with

unofficial TWRP twrp-3.1.N0-0-mt2.img.

Sorry for any confusion and let us know how it goes if you do convert to F2FS and if you notice any performance improvement at all.

[MENTION=2914559]divhandyman[/MENTION],

Thanks for the reference to F2FS from the PACROM thread :) . It's been too long since I flashed a ROM on my Ascend Mate 2 and I just forgot about F2F2. I imagine I must have followed those instruction at some point when I was running PACROM.

It turns out my HAM2 running CandySix currently has cache and data as F2FS. I'm not sure why system is ext4. PACROM instructions https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62518554&postcount=2 did say to format system as F2FS also. (CandySix instructions said to format only cache and data as F2FS).

So in summary the latest unofficial TWRP version is probably the better version to use for flashing CandySeven ROM as it supports F2FS and the official TWRP version does not :) .

Corrections and clarifications welcome :) .

Hi everyone,

My phone has this restarting loop issue after flashing either Candy7 or CM13 ROM. Not sure if this is bootloop error because It got pass the Huawei booting logo, but as soon as it finish loading the Google App and go to the OS home screen it restart again and again.

First I use TWRP to factory reset wipe, then advance wipe /system, /data, /cache / Dalvik, then install new ROM + Gapp, and got the sucess message, then reboot to system.

I also tried with out Gapp to save loading time, and it restart again when get to OS home screen.

Worth noting that the phone restart from ROM loading logo (the blue face for CM13 or the Google Dot for Candy7), not all the way back from Huawei booting logo.

Please advise what may cause this.

No issue when i restore back to B322 EMUI 3.1

I have US version unlocked MT2-L03, B322 version, unlocked bootloader, rooted, TWRP 3.1.1.0 installed.

I made a video clip of the looping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7kRpdGN2qA

Same thing happening on my phone, I no longer use the mate 2 as my daily but still some times power it up and use it around the house.

re: MT2 Nougat ROM & boot loop fix

RE: Nougat ROMs

MDMower is back! Try his unofficial builds of LineageOS (as of this post, 08/19/17 build with August security patch):

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=40887

RE: Boot Loop:

I also experienced this issue. I did some diagnostic testing and traced it to Google Play Services newer than v11.3.02. To resolve the problem, I recommend the following:

1. Backup your files.

2. Make sure you have MDMower's TWRP v3.1N0-0 installed, available from his AndroidFileHost page linked above or from his homepage:

https://android.cmphys.com/category/devices/mt2/

3. Download your ROM of choice. As of this post, I recommend the following:

06/15/17 build of CandyROMs, which is the last available build without Substratum errors:

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=174872

or, 08/19/17 MDMower build of LineageOS (linked at the top of this post).

4. Download ARM v7.1 Open GApps dated NO LATER than 08/11/17, the last package (as of this post) that will not cause a boot loop. I recommend Pico:

https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20170811/open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170811.zip

*UPDATE 08/29/17: The Open GApps link is dead. As of the past 24 hours, it seems that Open GApps has purged versions offered

in their GitHub repo older than 08/29.

5. Get a clean start by using TWRP's wipe & format features so that the current OS is completely removed. You backed up your files in step 1, right?

6. Flash your ROM. Before rebooting to system, Flash Open GApps.

I have successfully run both CandyROMs and MDMower unofficial LineageOS using this method. Good luck!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Won't Google Play Services automatically update itself to a later version than your recommended v11.3.02 below?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] EndlessFall:
RE: auto update of Google Play Services

The issue really isn't whether or not Google will push a newer build of Google Play Services at some point in the future, the issue is whether that newer build will be stable on the MT2. A properly tested newer build should work just fine, but that build doesn't seem to be available as of 08/26 (the last day I tested Open GApps and standalone Google Play Services builds on apkmirror).

I have been running CandyROMs and MDMower's LineageOS for about two weeks, and Google Play Services has not automatically updated to a newer build. This does not mean that it won't update at some point in the future. If you keep your files backed up, the benefit of an OS with recent security patches is worth the risk of some future potential boot loop that may never happen. Of course, we all have different opinions on this matter.

There is some debate as to whether or not "locking down" your device can prevent Google Play Services from auto-updating (creating empty gms-1.apk & gms-2.apk folders in \data\app\ directory, limiting the app's data usage, disabling Google Play Store auto updating, using apps such as AFWall+, MyAndroidTools, Privacy Guard, etc...)

There is also some debate as to whether or not the MT2 custom ROM boot loop can be fixed by reinstalling the official B321 recovery & B322 system image BEFORE moving on to MDMower's TWRP and a custom ROM. I tested this method, and it made no difference.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
What radio do you have on and how much screen on time average per day? Have you looked at the phone battery app to get an idea on usage? Do you think it could be Xposed? I installed v88.1 since it was available when I was ready to install.

I don't use my phone much, but so far LineageOS 7.1.2 seems fine battery consumption wise for the hours I've used it. It seems to use battery less than the rate of CandySix from what I'm recalling on my phone.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I don't know I just know screen time was much long on Candy6, haven't run it in a long time.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Usually I have Bluetooth and Wifi on. Screen on time, I think about 4 or 5 hours. I got 6, maybe 7 on Candy Six.

But maybe I'm looking into it too much because on Candy I had the normal battery indicator, but now I use the actual percentage.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
I've always had both battery icon and percentage indicators on. So far it seems to me that LineageOS 7.1.2 is outperforming CandySix based on the battery percentage drop rate with screen on. Generally, I keep all radios off other than WiFi unless I need them - and I turn WiFi off too if I'm not needing it for hours.

I do miss not being able to "dark theme" the phone and add custom keys to the navigation bar as

CandySix allowed. The white background notifications kill my eyes in the dark. Any known solutions for changing that world be appreciated.

I also use Greenify in Xposed mode to hibernate apps. Not sure how much battery savings that gives me, but I use it mostly to make sure RAM isn't being used when I'm not using Greenified apps. Only the latest v3.7.1 works with Nougat.
