So I got my Bootloader unlocked and tried with a bunch of your Versions to install TWRP, but I can never boot into it. I tried "Vol. Up+Down", "Pow+Vol Up", "Pow+Vol Down". Not a single one brought me into TWRP... Any advice on what I might be missing or doing wrong?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Calibaan:
If you have ADB enabled you can enter the recovery from running Android via commandline:

adb reboot recovery

What is the difference between:

twrp_BTV-DL09_5_greatslon.img 35.4MB Mar 02, 2017 | 10:06AM

twrp_BTV-DL09_5_greatslon.img 24.7MB Aug 07, 2017 | 02:23PM

which is the right for BTV-DL09 C100B303

This is a great thread.

It would be useful if there was also a mod'd stock recovery that allows to install any ROM version. This page details it for the mate 9/mate 9 Pro. You flash the mod'd recovery which bypasses checks and allows to flash the stock ROM (any version) as if it were a regular update.

https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108

Anyone know how to do make a similar mod'd stock recovery for the M3? Could use the same assist script to do the actual install. It would make updating a lot easier!

I have the BTV-W09 wifi only tablet and I've already upgraded to EMUI 5.0. The bootloader is unlocked and I'm getting ready to flash TWRP. I've read discussions about this tablet having 2 recovery partitions. If I flash TWRP to recovery2, will that allow me to keep the stock recovery on partition 1? Is that the best way to do it? Any issues with that method?

Different Huawei Subject - Sorry can't start new Thread

Sorry I couldn't find how to start a new thread. Hopefully a Senior Member can help.

I have a Huawei BTV W09 tablet with Android 7.0. It has a built in cleaner, not an app, that automatically cleans it up. The problem is that I have a Parental Control App...Kidslox. Kidslox asks you to set up a VPN which I did and afterward it puts a key at the top to show it is working. And it works GREAT while the key is in place. However, when the tablet cleans itself, several times a day.. it wipes out the key and Kidslox no longer works unless I set it up again... which makes the parental control app useless.

How do I disable the cleaner please?

I haven't found another Parental Control that blocks all other browsers, including chrome, except this one and K9 Blue Coat. Tried installing K9 on this Huawei tablet and it said there wasn't a carrier for it???? Don't know what that means.

Need to shut down the cleaner or find a parental control that will still work with the cleaner and block all other browsers leaving NO access to the internet but does allow apps like facebook etc to work.

please email me personally at seemeflyhi@gmail.com because I don't use internet much.

Thank you

Updating to android 7 relocks the bootloader so you have to enter into the bootloader unlock code again.

For the life of me I cannot get this https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634750328 TWRP to flash! Bootloader is unlocked. All I keep getting is 'error: cannot load' I have tried renaming the file to twrp.img. I have the BTV-W09 running EMUI 5 & Android 7.0. Can anyone give another way to flash twrp? I'd be ever so grateful! ADB & fastboot is working fine on my PC. I used SRT to unlock. My brain is racked! I'm about 10 minutes from throwing this thing against a wall.

try this one: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WyjMQMi3RriWMK19lHA9oUZni7k-vIFs

it`s the latest release from august. source: 4pda

if this also not works, maybe relock and unlock bootloader and then try again. but don`t forget to backup before because it will factory reset the device.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] musiqlives:
Thanks for your reply. I'm done with it. All tasks completed. TWRP installed, 5Ghz band enabled, deleted & froze unnecessary apps. Only thing left is for someone to figure out how to enable Adoptable storage. I'm hoping devs see this. I'm willing to put a bounty out for it.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sevenoverthree:
So naturally I am sure after all that you can't wait to walk us through your process :P

I have been holding off trying this again because I can't find my original firmware (C128B005) to have on hand as a backup. Firmware Finder seems to indicate that C128B350 and 351 are the updates to my FW.

Was this your upgrade path? Can you sum up which TWRP and Root you were successful with? Did you Root from EMUI 4.1 or 5?

Well I'm already with bootloader unlocked, the TWRP installed (Many thanks to [MENTION=4273212]greatslon[/MENTION]) and the tablet with root.

My question and doubt as I update now. Where do you get the zip to update?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sasmith-129:
Personally, I upgraded from C128B005 (EMUI 4.1.3) to C128B352 (EMUI 5.01) via Firmware Finder using the local proxy (but see NOTE below). Then I unlocked and flashed TWRP (from https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WyjMQMi3RriWMK19lHA9oUZni7k-vIFs) and used TWRP to install SuperSU-v2.8.2 (that I got from https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B-k_1rnfFeEveEZFWlJTenVtdGc).

Be aware that unlocking forces a reset. This didn't matter to me as I wanted to root in order to install TitaniumBackup to restore a backup from another tablet. If you care about the contents, you'd better back it up before unlocking.

FWIW, I followed this guide from Ministry of Solutions for rooting although I used a different/newer version of TWRP (from post 111 in this same thread).

NOTE: my upgrade path was torturous in that I first installed C100B006 (EMUI 4.1) thinking I would get a different product code to use in getting a bootloader unlock code directly from Huawei's web site. It gave me the same product code as with C128B005 so it didn't make a difference (I tried this because of a post I found in this XDA thread). Ultimately, I used Ministry of Solutions to get my bootloader unlock code (US $4).

Good luck!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] musiqlives:
Getting the update was the hard part. Firmware Finder was troublesome do to my Fort Knox network security! 48 hours after sitting at my desk & 200 or so tries, it suddenly occurred to me that in order for Huawei VPN to see the device on my network I need to remove the snipers on the roof top! So, I changed my DNS to Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) I had to remove my adblocker (not just force stop) I had to completely uninstall it. Suddenly when I went to settings > update checker > check for update, glory began raining down! Follow the steps EXACTLY how they say in the instructions. There is no particular method that works better than another. I changed my Proxy & changed my IP settings to Static. Simply turn off all network security before hand. Once that was done, I tried to flash [MENTION=4273212]greatslon[/MENTION] TWRP for EMUI 5.0. It would not flash. After about 36 hours, the whole process seemed worth the money to have it done for me. I contacted http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017/08/huawei-mediapad-m3-root-nougat-complete-tutorial.html He's a great guy! I've been loving the speed of the wifi. I'm averaging 180 Mbps at home on 5Ghz. Haven't had any bugs. Despite what people were saying, my bluetooth connection seems to have improved. I was getting VERY choppy sound before the update. I seem to have both recoveries installed. If I let go of Vol up, Power before TWRP loads, I have an option to go into recovery & connect to wifi to restore factory firmware. So far everything is great. I need to find a way to hide root. I'm scared to attempt installing Xposed on it. I can't find any conformation that it actually works properly on this model. Feel free to PM me if I left anything out. God speed!

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] woody1:
I don't think the problem is the vendor software, so much, the real problem is that the user community is very small and there are not enough developers and knowledgeable people creating fixes, etc. I really like the tablet, but it does take a lot of work to get it set up right.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] prozek:
Close...I think

For starters, Many thanks for all your contributions.

I have unlocked my M3 (BTV-W09), and can get to the screen that says "Fastboot & Rescue Mode". It shows "Phone Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock". But it won't come up when using the command adb devices, however when I run "fastboot flash recovery twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img" it's telling me that it was successfully written. Total time is 1.29 seconds. Does that make sense? Awfully fast.

Then it shows me the red lightning bolt and will not boot at all. What am I missing? I'll add that HiSuite pops open, so it does seem to be talking to the device. It occasionally comes up to the screen indicating that it's booting, but never goes anywhere. I'm suspicious that I have a battery issue AND a boot issue. :)

Okay, an hour later and I've found the original recovery image and that worked. I'm back to it charging, working like new, which means no 5G network. I don't know if I should be happy or sad.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] musiqlives:
I had an issue with it too the first time I did it. This is the correct method.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img

fastboot reboot

Yes, it does need to be changed. Hopefully, an admin will get this updated.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] prozek:
Success!

I ended up using FirmwareFinder and the DNS option. The tutorial videos helped me understand the order. I used BTV-W09C233, and then one of the sub-builds. I don't recall which one, but not the 2 or 3 more recent builds (higher numbers) didn't work. I just walked my way down, looking for where the description was only in Chinese. That was my clue that the 5G would not be disabled. I finally got the install to happen, and like others it did not change my settings from English, Time Zone, etc. Just turned on the 5G.!

And either twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img or twrp_BTV-W09_greatslon.img are not working.

What should I do?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TFooch:
Hey all, Just received my M3 and updated it to the latest. Unfortunately that may have been a mistake on my part as I've tried some if not all of the twrp versions in the forums. They all seem to install successfully but when launch I always get the default boot loader. My ver is BTV-W09C128B352 and was wondering if anyone with this version was successfully able to install twrp?

Update to the statement above. I've been trying to get into TWRP by holding the power button and volume up with no success. I just noticed if I go to boot the device up and go to Settings -->Advanced Settings -->Backup & Reset --> Factory data reset --> RESET TABLET - RESET again the device will boot into TWRP.

Thanks!

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] greatslon:
Whats your problem? All links in the main post are working!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DroidDavid:
Probably just me.

I have a hard time navigating these forums. When you say "main post" what is that? As far as my issues, the TWRP I have won't work after I flashed it and after it said ok. I hold volume up and pwr and it just boots into EMUI recovery and then errors, then goes into normal boot. Here's where I'm at: I am rooted, bootloader unlocked and all, and a rooted stock copy on the device. My device was compromised and I want to start fresh. Logically I should just be able to flash a new Rom and be done. But I can't get into the TWRP I had on it, and I can't get into a TWRP I seemed to be flashing. AND I also need a new copy of the stock ROM. It's very hard to find anything for this device. But those are the two things I need now. TWRP and a ROM. Then of course I'll throw supersu on there and be done I hope. I just can't find these two items.
