[Huawei MediaPad M2] xsycox:
Official updates for our M2 tablet,

although having installed another

recovery and root access, already.​

- Disclaimer

Well, whatever you do with this guide is all up to you and in your own responsibility. You

should have basic knowledge about ADB and flashing, which is explained in many other

threads here on our beloved XDA.

- Issue

When you used this guide (https://goo.gl/r04XjJ) or any other one to give your M2 tablet

another recovery and therefore root rights, you have now the problem, that EMUI will show

you new updates, but you are not able to install them, because of the missing stock recovery,

of course.

- Solution

So, you have to flash back the original stock recovery, getting the official update and then you

can flash back your TWRP recovery.

- Guide

1. You should start your EMUI update programme/app and start the download of your update.

When it is finished, it will ask you to reboot into recovery and install automatically. As you have

no stock recovery I strongly advise not to do so. Usually nothing happens, but there is one case

reported, where it somehow ****ed up the guy's tablet. I am not sure, if that story is true, but

well, I have warned you.

2. Just turn your tablet off after you have finished downloading the update (it will wait now in

the directory "HwOUC" on your tablet and it is called "update.zip" - just let it sleep there).

3. Start the tablet in the fastboot recovery mode, meaning plugging in the USB cable (connected

to the computer) and hold the buttons "power" and "volume down", immediately, until a white

screen appears, which is the fastboot recovery screen. It should tell you, it has the bootloader

unlocked, which is normal, because you did that earlier on with any of the other guides (see above).

4. Copy the downloaded stock recovery of your choice to your ADB directory. In my case this is

"c:\ADB", but this depends on your way of installation.

5. Now open up a command line in Windows (with Windows key + R) and type "cmd") and go to

your ADB directory, using commands like "cd .." and "cd adb".

6. When having arrived in the ADB directory, you have to enter these commands one after the other:

fastboot flash recovery stock-recovery.img

fastboot reboot

If you renamed the recovery file, then you have to consider that in the command, of course.

7. The device will reboot directly into the recovery, because it "sees" the update in the update

directory et voila ... you are getting your awaited update. Sometimes it will boot not into the EMUI

recovery directly, but then you hast have to start the tablet normally, open up the EMUI app and

download the update again and do the OTA update properly with the reboot it tells you to do,

when it is finished.

8. Okay, now you have received your update, but if you want to have back your TWRP, you just

have to turn off your tablet and boot into the fastboot recovery again (see 3.).

9. You have to copy your TWRP recovery to your ADB directory (in my case "twrp.img" in "c:\ADB").

10. Now open up a command line in Windows (with Windows key + R and type "cmd") and go to

your ADB directory, using commands like "cd .." and "cd adb".

11. When having arrived in the ADB directory, you have to enter these commands one after the other:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot reboot

12. The tablet will reboot and you are back to a working lovely updated M2 tablet. :)

- Root:

If you want to have root rights, I strongly recommend flashing Magisk within TWRP, because it is

just a nice and more modern approach to having root. It works very fine on my M2 10 tablet. The

link for the files and guide is here:

It is very easy. You just flash Magisk 12 in TWRP and then install the Magisk Manager app from the

Play store.
