please use these two sections ( "Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion" AND "Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers" ) , if you have problems setting up the device ... here we are talking more about the development part! Take the time and read all the posts there, surely one of them is valid for you too, take the time to understand the device by reading as many posts from the two sections as possible ! No one was born educated, we all learned step by step what to do by reading the same thing several times until we understood it, unfortunately there is no special guide (something magical) that will work in your case... you have to do it yourself to be able to notice what you are doing wrong (after familiarizing yourself with the device by acquiring as much knowledge as possible from those two dedicated sections)

After installing this gapps package, my tablet did not want to start. Do you have working gapps other than Nikki?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] norti:
You should install the release from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/NikGapps-SL/07-Nov-2023/

Basic or Core
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] zciwo:
install bethoven again. I used NikGapps-core-arm64-12.1-20231107-signed.zip this time.

I receive Google Play notification that I am offline. I have the Internet in my browser. Youtube revanced works properly.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Yes, I have noticed the same issue ... I was able to fix "Offline" notification under PlayStore by installing LineageOS & NikGapps at the same time !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Hirashi:
FYI, what you have installed is gapps for Android 14!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Hi,

Almost nothing working on Android 13 ( LOS 20 ) but somehow luckily I managed to make the camera working (actually video recorder it's broken, photo camera it's working well )

I hope to come back with better news in the near future !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dou.yidong:
This is really good news!

btw, how do I downgrade from LOS 19.1 to 16.0 or 15.1?

I installed LOS 18.1 and downloaded APPS, but the SD card is broken, so APPS doesn't work.

So I installed 19.1 and new recovery, but I couldn't downgrade to LOS16.0 or 15.1
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dou.yidong:
I can't install LOS18 or other versions with the new recovery.

It is also not worked to flash in ADB.

It is worked to flash in a different version of recovery, but it cannot be started.

Now stuck on the LOS19, only the upper horn has a sound.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
What device do you have exactly ?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dou.yidong:
Huawei M3 BTV-W09 China version.

I have successfully installed LOS 15.1 (because I need to use a camera)

The new recovery does not seem to support ADB, nor does it support installing LOS 18 or other versions.

I seem to have cleared several recovery operations and successfully installed TWRP 3.3.1 using fastboot, followed by installing LOS 15.1

BTW, LOS19.1 is very smooth. I am considering reinstalling LOS 19.1 now
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
I just start working on the new update for LOS 19.1 ( scheduled to be released at the weekend ) with new security patch , camera fix and many other improvements !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Hirashi:
Excited 😆
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:
Back to playing with 19.1. Still can't get audio to work on BTV-W09.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
yes, on BTW-W09 audio should working ( not fully ... but partially should be working )

out of curiosity, what does this commands display on your device ?

Root debugging should be already enabled into Developer options before to take the commands above

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:
No such file or directory.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Thanks ( that's why your tablet don't have sound on LOS 19.1) ... but I'll fix this issue in the next update .

Before installing Lineage OS did you update the tablet to EMUI 5 (Android N) ?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:
It's been so long, that I don't remember. I've been using your ROMs for quite a long time now.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Ok, I think you already updated to EMUI 5.x as its mandatory for any of my custom ROM
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] anthorccccc:
Hi, im keen to update my dad's old huawei mediapad m3 to a newer android version , but never did this before.

Is there any chance there is a video guide on this transition to lineageos 19.1 ?

I tried to seach on youtube but none of them is huawei mediapad m3 specific, so i'm quite confused

BTW, is unlocking the bootloader a prerequisite for this switch of OS to lineage OS ?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
instead of wasting your time looking for video tutorials on youtube, I would recommend you to read all the installation instructions for Lineage OS and TWRP/Lineage recovey starting with LOS 15.1 (for sure you will waste your time usefully and you will learn at the same time how you can install LOS on your tablet)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Aicho10:
Hi,Thanks for your work.

However, one problem has occurred.

After installing LOS 19.1, I cannot boot in recovery mode.

Even after reflashing recovery_19.1.img and also TWRP 3.3.1-1.img, recovery mode cannot be booted.

Please let me know how to fix this problem.

I use BTV-W09(Japanese.Ver)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:
You have to hold the volume up button and make sure it's not plugged in. That worked for me.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Aicho10:
Thank you.

I tried it, but Huawei eRecovery is booted.

(from power menu→restart recovery,It's stuck at "Your device is booting now ...")
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Brain789:
Alternatively you can activate extended restart menu (or called similar) and enter recovery from there.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:
How did you flash the recovery image?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Aicho10:
As per the tutorial.

[fastboot flash recovery recovery_19.1.img].

At that time recovery mode boots and installs LOS19.1

After that, recovery mode could not boot.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:
If you are able to boot into LOS19.1 you can try, as mention by @Brain789 , to enable Advanced Restart in Developer Options. Once enabled, you can hold down the power button, select Restart, and then select Restart to Recovery.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Aicho10:
Is [Advanced restart] this screen?

from here, it's stuck at "Your device is booting now ..."
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:
Yes, that's correct. I guess you can try to flash the recovery again via fastboot.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Yes, try to reboot to bootloader and use fastboot to install recovery_19.1.img once again
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DVSGUY:
I am a bit of a novice, and need a bit of guidance.

I have installed the 19.1 recovery and booted into it per intructions.

I don't see any options in recovery to format (to format /data) or wipe.

When in 19.1 recovery, the USB connection doesn't seem to be working, no device show under fastboot or adb, so I can't do anything over USB.

With the old recovery there were menu item to wipe/format etc., but not with this 19.1 recovery.

So how do I complete the format and wipe steps?

Do I need to go into bootloader where fastboot does see a device and give commands over USB?

I think it would be like this?

fastboot format data

fastboot -w userdata

fastboot -w cache

fastboot flash system lineage-19.1-20231202-RELEASE-beethoven.zip

flashboot flash boot boot_wifi_los19.1.img (I have BTV-W09)

reboot

adb sideload NikGapps-basic-arm64-12.1-20231107-signed
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
You can copy the LOS 19.1 to a micro SDcard, and the LOS recovery 19.1 will be able to install from there ....

Yes, format data into LOS recovery by following : Factory reset -> Format data/factory reset !

You can also format cache/system partition if you install LOS 19.1 for the first time !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DVSGUY:
Thanks for the quick response, I didn't think to look under factory reset.

Do I need to format system partition as well, or just "apply update" and point to the system image on uSD card?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
system partition it's not mandatory ( as will be wiped anyway by LOS 19.1 installer ) , but cache partition yes !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DVSGUY:
Thanks for your work on this and help, succesfully into Lineage 19.1

Great to keep the Mediapad relevant instead of heading to ewaste!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Aicho10:
Thank you.

I tried again, but same result.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
seems to be very weird, never encountered this issue ... are you sure you updated the tablet to EMUI 5.x (Android N) before installing LOS ?

as a last solution, you can try to reinstall the EMUI 5.x stock firmware through the dload method (using erecovery) - this revert to stock it's always working as long as you have a proper update.app that match your tablet !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
developing on android is very difficult sometimes ( unless you are a very good developer and you know exactly what you do, unfortunately it's not my case ) , please wait patiently for the new promissed updated of LOS 19.1 ( unfortunatly camera it's working curently only on LOS 20 wich will be released in a few months, maybe sooner )
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
I wasted the whole day trying to find a free solution to reactivate OEM unlocking (which is currently inaccessible - after some unfortunate tests of LOS 19.1) ... any root applications (either for Windows or Android) doesn't seem to work, the reset from the factory and installing the original firmware didn't help me that much either.

For moment I'm stuck here :

EDIT :

in order to unlock OEM I need to add/modify this line ( sys.oem_unlock_allowed = 1 ) in build.prop, but for this I would need root.

currently, "getprop sys.oem_unlock_allowed" return nothing instead 1 ( this being the main reason why the option is not available )
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
OK, the only way to fix OEM inactive state it's to relock the bootloader !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Brain789:
Just wanted to share that battery life seems to be very good with LOS 19.1 - even with the first build that is flagged as "beta". Think it's comparable with the power consumption of the stock ROM and better than on LOS 17.1.

In order not to mention only positive aspects, I have one minor point to be improved. UI animations are sometimes a little bit choppy. For instance when I am switching from one app to the other via task bar or clicking on the square button to get the overview of all apps. That's no deal-breaker but worth having an eye on when everything else - the points that @surdu_petru is already taking care of - are ironed out or implemented.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
19.1 up and running, thank you very much! One small issue... voice typing using gboard does not seem to work. Flashes 'initializing' then immediately stops trying to voice type.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Seems to be related sound issue ( which it's working only partially ) once the sound will be properly fixed you'll be able to use again voice typing
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
I am curious... given that we keep wiping and starting installation from scratch of all of our apps, what back/restore solution are folk finding to make this easier?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:
Just been wiping and starting from scratch on my side. Just glad we can keep our devices fairly up to date.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Brain789:
I've two games that I play occasionally:

- World of Goo remastered (via Netflix) -> it runs well

- Iron Marines: Invasion -> It does not open under LOS 19.1, crashes immediately after tapping on the icon on the launcher. Under LOS 17.1 it ran flawlessly

Is there something I can deliver to you to have a look at this?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Wanted to test in my device but it doesn't seem to be free ...
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Brain789:
Correct, it's one of the few purchases I made.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
TWRP it's back for Lineage OS 19.1, starting with the next update we can use again TWRP ... !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Brain789:
Is there any way to get some verbosity from apps under Android? In Linux I would run it in console and most likely could read about the issue.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
it usually doesn't help you much, it's difficult to interpret... and it's very hard to figure out what exactly is missing, only if you find a line in logcat that specifies that a certain library is missing (then I can fix the problem more easily) ... otherwise there are few chances to figure out why it doesn't work
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Brain789:
Was just playing around a little bit with different log viewer and found LogFox... I don't know if the attached log helps that was created when the app crashed.

Here's the logcat I just took, it includes an attempt of starting the game and hopefully the first messages form the booting system.

Thanks for looking at it!

Let me know if that helps.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
unfortunately I can't figure out exactly why your game doesn't work... but most likely (if it doesn't work on LOS 18.1 either) because hwcomposer doesn't work completely like in the old Android versions (8.0/ 9.0 & 10) - some functions being cancelled. Without these changes to hwcomposer, LOS 19.1 it can not even boot on our device ! the device being relatively old and without a source code from Huawei, it is impossible to run Android 11 or 12 without some compromises. I'm sorry I couldn't help you more
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Brain789:
Many thanks for diving in my logcat and checking this and giving me feedback. It's always great to get some deeper info to understand better!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
New Update LOS 19.1 !

Finally I managed to release a new update for our device.

Downloads :

lineage-19.1-20231222-RELEASE-beethoven.zip

lineage-19.1-20231222-RELEASE-beethoven.zip md5:

boot_wifi_los19.1(1).img

boot_wifi_los19.1(1).img md5: 385390a048ef10f52d7aae5d35a17404

Installation :

you can install it through lineage recovery 19.1 or the new TWRP 3.7.0

if you format /data into TWRP ( you should reboot device to bootloader or system - and press the power & volume up to go to TWRP again ) - reboot to recovery from TWRP seems to be broken for moment ( at least your external storage can't be mounted after data format )

like always wipe all into TWRP ( apart external storage & product ) if you want to install on clean

wipe only cache/dalvik cache after the update was installed ( dirty flash - only recommended if you are doing an update )

Gapps do not like to be installed at the same time with LOS 19.1 ( so you should flash the LOS 19.1 first , set up your device and go again to TWRP and install Gapps )

I don't think it should be mentioned anymore, those with Wifi devices must install the new boot image ( via TWRP by choosing install image over Boot partition or via fastboot : fastboot flash boot boot.img )

Changelog:

new security patch Dec 05 2023

increased display density to 609 dpi ( per LineageOS requirement for tablet devices )

fix fingerprint issue ( thanks to Hirashi because it caught my attention )

added schedtune.boost needed to the new Power Google Pixel management ( for better performance management )

sound configuration was moved into /vendor ( to prevent sound issue on some devices )

optional (you can format the /data partition as ext4 instead of f2fs - the tests performed show that using /data in ext4 format is more advantageous/quicly by up to 30% than if you have /data in f2fs format) - now you can change /data format ( ext4 or f2fs ) very easly into TWRP 3.7.0

as soon as androidfilehost will be working I'll upload again there
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:

Automapa

Hi,

I'm always overwhelmed with your work and I would like to have this stuff on my HTC. However with the last versions of your rom (e.g. R4) Automapa 5.0 GPS software doesn't work anymore. I know that this niche software and I don't expect you will bother about this issue, however I wonder whether there are any changes in R5 which could influence the use of GPS module so it will be worth to give it a try, flash my Polaris with the R5 and check if it works or not.

Unfortunately replaycing Automapa with other software is not an option for me.

Great work and I keep fingers crossed that one day...:)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] paullu:
wait for R5,thanks man.:D
