[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
if you want to use dload flash, stock recovery must be on recovery parttion (but twrp recovery can be on recovery2). If you still have stock recovery, maybe your rom at the moment is not compatible with the rom you want to flash (what is yours now?). Anyway, the simplest is to install TWRP on erecovery, and flash from it, files from post #1

Flashing using fastboot is done with desired files on computer (put them in the computer's adb folder).

make sure you did install both device driver (just install hisuite), and adb fastboot drivers (just install adb fastboot pack) on the computer.

Please read the full post I linked above, it gives others links for full adb fastboot installation.

while device in bootloader mode, and pluged into the computer, start with "adb devices" command to see if the device is detected.

Please read about adb fastboot:

https://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/general/mini-guide-adb-installation-usage-t3183906

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

But as I told you before, just use adb fastboot to install TWRP on recovery2, then boot in recovery2 (while pluged to a computer, press vol - & power), and then use TWRP recovery to flash one of the file from post#1 if you want a stock rom, or one of ajsmsg78 custom rom
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You need fastboot and twrp in the same folder on your PC. Then you type in the command prompt fastboot flash recovery twrpxxxxxx.img where the x's are the exact name of the twrp file.

Worst case scenario if you want to send me your X2 I'll do it for you and ship it back or you can install something like TeamViewer on your PC and I'll remote into it and do it for you so you'll see how it's done.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
I just did, and I confirm that in this 702L stock B205, "Huawei Swype" is the app with regular FC as soon as the rom start.

Ler us know, when you'll have time to rebuild it.

Gem-702lc209b205

I flashed GEM-702LC209B205 only, then rooted with SuperSU 2.82... Best ROM I've used so far! I'll update GPS n a few days. Push works flawless. Problem I had with kangvip was when I would kill all apps button to trash. Some push apps would stop and background apps like "ok Google" and "call recorder" would be disabled... So this stock ROM on my rooted phone is perfect for me... Thx

Update... GPS still fall asleep... Other than that , the ROM is great!

The Note 9 will be in the same boat. No LTE band support in the US. Any Chinese phone larger than six inches won't have LTE support here. It's like they think we don't want it. I'd buy another two year old X2 if they updated it with LTE support here.

X2 does not boot into recovery oder fastboot mode

What I did:

1 - Booted into TWRP Mode

2- Wiped Cache and Dalvic (Option "Set to default settings")

3- installed "GEM-701LC100B008" from 1at Post with TWRP

4- wiped after install (there was automaticly an option "wipe", I had chossen)

5- installed the "Stock recovery GEM 701" from the first Post

6- Reboot into System

What happened:

a- System was booting

b- while the first screen to set up the language ( in my case "German") was brought, a message came "System Process was ended"

c- pressed "OK" (had "wait" and "OK" to choose)

d- Setup "Language, Wlan, and so on) was possible

e- while Setup a message appears "No SIM Card found" (a SIM card was in the Mediapad)

f- the lockscreen cames "wipe to unlock"

g- after unlocking by swyping the message "system process stopped" appears again.

h- after unlocking thte phone is rebooting after about 10 seconds.

If i do not unlock the phone, it is not rebooting. The lockscreen stays

I cannot boot into fastboot nor into recovery Mode (Recovery mode is the same issue as the photo in Post #30 Touch screen is working... (see only the Picture)

Meanwhile the problem is solved. I was able to boot in fastbootmode, I had to press Power FIRST and THEN Vol Down. Never thought, that the sequence will be so important.....

as B206 is most new ROM for 702L now, do we will have a flashable stock unrooted rom for B206 ? :o
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
If someone could send me their stock B206 clean system and cust folders I can make a stock flashable B206. I don't have a 702L to take the update on.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] growbag:
I just bought a faulty, brand new X2 (no wifi or bluetooth apparently) but the seller didn't say which model it is. It's software should be in pristine condition, if it's a wanted version and someone can point me to a guide on how to copy it, then I can upload it.

I'd guess it's a 701L as that seems to be the most prominent version in Germany.

Also, I used that "downgrade" app on mine to change it from a 701 to a 702, is there a way to do a "hardware" copy from the new faulty mainboard to my working mainboard? Or is there any way to totally restore my working "702" to being a 701 again? It never worked properly since the first time I installed a new rom and would like it back to complete original if possible.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
The model number should be printed on the back side of the device, at the bottom. Let us know
[Huawei MediaPad X2] growbag:
It's a 701 - it just arrived today. It looks like the previous owner tried (and failed!!!!) to put android 6 on it and it stuffed up the wireless.

I put my good mainboard in the new phone and it's working perfectly, so I now have an almost complete second X2 to play with :).

HEY man i need your help flashing my 701L B003.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] growbag:
You're asking the wrong person, you need audioralph or ajsmsg. But there's already a good tutorial here.

I "updated" mine about a year ago from b003 and have regretted it ever since. My advice is just leave it as it is. I say that because my GPS has never worked properly since changing to an android 6 ROM. 6 has some nicer features and it may be worth it for you, but GPS is a big deal for me.

I was using it with GEM-703L Simply Google B112 emui 3.1

Today tryied to install different roms with TWRP, and only GEM-701LC100B008 worked, installed stock recovery from this thread, but during reset from emui im getting Huawei cust fail in recovery. ALso in about phone im getting strange data,emui 2.0, 1gb ram, 4gb internal, low resolution... Any advices on what should i do?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Flash the universal cust b212 mod.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] autogarsas:
[MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] i found only Universal+Cust+B205-B212 but flashing it not changed anything. Flashing UNIVERSAL-CUST-B112 on GEM-701LC100B008 helped something, i now have Model number Gem-701L and build number GEM-703LV...B112 and showing normal specs. But what should i do next? There are so many tutorials, so totally unsure which one should i follow. Perfectly want to end with this rom GEM-703L+B227+Rooted+Debloated+(8-9-18)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You have to convert your 701L to a 702L or 703L before you can flash any of the B202 roms. Huawei doesn't make this easy. It has been so long since I've done it I honestly don't remember. Sorry to be a pain but [MENTION=3792009]audioralf[/MENTION] or [MENTION=6001068]Djiban[/MENTION] can you help?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
[MENTION=1187986]autogarsas[/MENTION] , the cleanest way for you to install more recent rom on your 701L is:

1) go back to GEM-701LC100B008 (you've done it before ;) )

2) install stock recovery on recovery1, (you can also install TWRP recovery on recovery2)

3) use official Dload method (put the dload folder at the root of internal storage, or at the root of SD card, then reboot), install this small downgrade script:

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AoChLp8DMXIssTqluCnfoFemfBLE

that will turn your device to a 702L

4) then install with official dlaod method the 702L's B206 rom:

http://ministryofsolutions.com/2018/03/huawei-mediapad-x2-gem-702l-firmware-b206-asia-pacific.html

5) you can now either use TWRP recovery to install any android 6 custom rom, or use Firmware Finder app to upgrade to very last B207 & B208 official 702L roms

[MENTION=6001068]Djiban[/MENTION] Thank you so much! Thats worked

Great! Now have fun flashing.

Thanks for helping! I'm starting to think that like Samsung and Apple, Huawei is slowing down phones as the battery dies because my X2 is about half the speed it used to be.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Do you experience that on both huawei based rom (official and your customs) and on lineage too ?

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] min1968:
My LeEco Max 2 has issue that cannot boot, here is symptom:

1, Vol- & power can enter fastboot mode, in fastboot mode seems all operations are correct.

For example:

C:\adb>fastboot oem device-info

...

(bootloader) Device product name: [le_x2_whole_netcom]

(bootloader) Device tampered: false

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

(bootloader) Serial console enabled: false

(bootloader) Serial hw output enabled: true

(bootloader) Display panel:

OKAY [ 0.091s]

finished. total time: 0.094s

Flash recovery:

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (58236 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.884s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.404s]

finished. total time: 2.303s

And I can boot tWRP or stock recovery by [fastboot boot xxx.img] --> by this method entering tWRP, I can flash LineageOS or Cuoco 26S etc ROM zip

2, By Vol+ & Power , I cannot enter recovery. It shows "entering recovery..." then black screen

3, If I do normal boot (with LineageOS or Cuoco26S flashed), screen says you are not running Lecco official firmware, please go to service to flash official ROM, then power off after a few sec

It looks to me recovery is not properly flashed, and original stock recovery is erased for some reason ? but in fastboot it shows flashing OKAY. What's wrong ?

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] fishwigy:
Hello XDA, it's been a long time and no one was able to unlock the bootloader on this phone. My mistake was buying the phone from At&t, so I can't root it because Kingroot removed support and the bootloader is locked. Also I want to get Android N on this phone but I can't. I bought it to replace my s6 that was stolen and it ran on the latest android, had a custom kernel and was rooted.

The only solution I can think of is having the mainboard replaced with the one that the g850m carries, because I live in South America and it can be rooted and customized. Can it be done?

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CollinFX45:
Let's get all the "that's what she said" jokes on the table and ready to go...

I switched my Essential phone from Verizon to Sprint and upon taking out the SIM card, I stuck the ejector tool in the microphone hole, which is literally RIGHT next to the SIM card tray. There is a post on reddit about this happening on the Galaxy S8 and the consensus is that it isn't a big deal. Well, I felt a definite click and then it went in even further after that supposed click. Crap. Also on the iFixit teardown, they mention this and what a poor design choice it was. So, anyone done this yet?

I can't notice any ill effects just yet. Voice still sounds clear on the other end and the microphone appears to be functional. I emailed Essential and asked about this, and they told me I may experience poor call quality on the other end and I may be unable to use voice search. To me, this = broken microphone. I asked a few more times if this would be a costly repair and if the microphone can actually be damaged, but they just told me to "monitor it going forward." Not very helpful. It seems to be working fine, but something definitely happened where I felt a click and then it went in further. So I wonder what the heck happened? Anyone else done this yet? Let this be a warning to those who are quick to stick the SIM card tool in the first place it fits :o

-Collin-
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] m3lover1:
Does seem like odd placement, but is it just me or is it pretty intuitive that the Sim card hole is the one that's inside the Sim tray and not the one outside?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tw1tch175:
My guess is you pierced a piece of fabric that was acting as a guard from dust and to reduce harsh frequencies.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CollinFX45:
Well of course I agree looking at it now, but in less than great light and when in a hurry it is a fairly easy mistake. Or I'm an idiot. I accept both scenarios as likely :)

Maybe you're right. The microphone appears to work fine, but it still bothers me to know that something may have happened. I'll continue to "monitor" as Essential suggested.

-Collin-
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] flakko86:
I think they designed it that way for the sake of symmetry lol
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CollinFX45:
Wouldn't surprise me!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tlxxxsracer:
Pay attention. All sim holes are inside of the Sim tray. I've never seen a single tray where the ejection hole is not built into the tray.

It has to be there because it can't be close to the speaker.

Couldn't put it up top because of the magnets, may interfere with the sim
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aldoe00:
I just did the EXACT same thing. I heard two click/pop sounds pushing tool in. Now I hear high pitch noise on the other end of a phone call.. I was done listing the phone for sale also, and was taking the SIM card out because I was placing the phone to the side :(

Waiting to hear back from Essential to see if they can help with replacement mic...

Worst part is, I remember reading this thread when I first was interested in purchasing the phone and though, "no way I would do that".

UPDATE: I'm still an idiot. The phone appears to be fine. It happened to be my girlfriends pixel 2 with a high pitch noise in the earpiece (to be addressed in software update says duder googler support)

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] karagiozakos:
God damn, just did the same thing to my brand new PH-1. Should I return it?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rodohmes:
There have been multiple posts on Reddit about this. Someone reached out to an Essential team member who basically said they suspected users may do this and designed the mic at an angle so nothing could be stuck down to damage it. Doesn't even affect the IP rating apparently.

They are very responsive to customer emails if you'd like personal confirmation.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00339:
I also did this yesterday right when I got the phone before I even powered it up or took a second look I put the simtool in the wrong hole... My heart stopped after the pop sound and after I realized what I just did... However I have made plenty of calls and ask everyone how I sound and no complaints. So I assume it's no big deal still really sucks I didn't spend that extra second to see where I was sticking it...

On a side note this phone is amazing and I must have bad eyes because every photo I take is flawless. Not sure what is up with all the bad hype of the subpar camera. I have no issues with it!

"Sarah (Essential Products)

Nov 17, 12:32 PM PST

Hi There,

Thank you for contacting us.

We have had a few people inquire about this, and thankfully our developers also thought the location may be an issue. Our development team created a specific shaped canal for the microphone hole. This prevents the mic from being damaged by any foreign object that may be put in the incorrect spot. It would not be possible for the mic itself to be damaged from the SIM tool, but the canal itself may have been.

If for whatever reason an issue with the microphone arises, we would recommend you go back to Sprint. They will be able to provide you with the best steps to move forward.

I appreciate your time, and hope you have a great day!

Sincerely,

Sarah

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] icydius:
On my unlocked S8+ (955FD) which I'm using on AT&T's network, I've noticed when I search for networks manually, the only one I'm allowed to connect to is AT&T RMZ. If I try to connect to any "regular" AT&T networks, a message comes up saying, "your SIM doesn't allow a connection to this network."

I've also not been able to run any USSD codes successfully, but instead getting a message about a connection or MMI error.

I've spoken with at least 4 or 5 different AT&T reps who told me to replace the phone (I just bought it in June!) because the IMEI I provide doesn't exist in their system.

Could this be the reason why I can't connect to any network beside AT&T RMZ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] jpcdeux:
Well i doubt 4 or 5 customer service reps are going to give you bad advice.

Try flashing the att or unlocked fw on it and see what it does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] icydius:
I'll try that suggestion, thanks.

Just because an IMEI doesn't show up in their system, doesn't mean there's an issue with the phone as pointed out in other threads. If those 4 or 5 reps were knowledgeable they would know that an international phone's IMEI may not show up.

I don't think they should plant doubt about my purchase simply because it's not an AT&T phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] icydius:
Actually the unlocked one is what I'm using and I've flashed the AT&T firmware before with no change. I'll chalk it up to it being dual sim and international.

I'm looking for a high quality, plain (no designs or funky textures), black TPU case. I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073JF58WP/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 on Amazon, it is very nice, but it is a little too thin.

It seems like there are very few cases for the OP5 from the name brands, hopefully this will change.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] GroovyGeek:
All the big boys have cases for the OP5: Spigen, Tudia, Nikon, etc. If you want a fairly low profile unbranded case look at Mangix and Skmy
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] dunjamon:
That's similar to the one I have. The one thing I don't like about the big boy cases is that they leave a massive cutout for the camera and flash, whereas the one here (and the one I have) has a separate cutout. I saw some really nice ones online, but they seem to cover the microphone on the back.
