Factory reset fails after update to Lollipop - Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I was on B317 Beta and downgraded to B148 using downgrade rom B300 but before upgrading to B324 I factory reset. That would give me a cust fail error. So I decided to then downgrade to B137sp03 as I saw most were having the best success upgrading from there. This time I didn't do factory reset before, I did it after and it also fails which then leaves me with B324 with NO 5x5 icon setting and pretty much lacking all around. Icons won't change, themes won't change. What the heck is going on here? By the way I have the MT7-L09.
Any help will be appreciated!

A lot of features are missing. Anyway, you can try downgrading to B120SP04. That was my previous version, but on MT7-TL10. Only thing that doesn't work here is the smart screenshot. But everything you mentioned that is missing or is not working works on mine.

Ok... another thing I want to know... How do I find out what region my phone is originally from? I bought mine unlocked in the U.S. and I'm using it here in Miami.
Thanks!

I don't know how to check where phone is from. Been installing ROMs from Malaysia, Indonesia, Italy, and European ones and they work.
Don't take my word for it though.
I'm currently using TL10, somehow B120SP04 and B125SP02 work, But B125 is more stable.

Have you factory reset AFTER doing the upgrade to B324? I have tried installing from many different ROMs. I am about to try from B127 now to see if I have any luck. And this time around I may enter recovery so that I can clear cache before upgrading. Hoping that will help.

I did when I upgraded from B120. But from B125 I didnt since going B120 to B125 already wiped my data.

I met the same situation as you described after upgrading to b324. What will you do? the only thing I cant bear for this version is 4×5 icons layout. factory reset failed as well.[emoji26]

i am having the exact problem
same problem here! i am freaking out. like nothing works now. no themes, no icon change, it just sucks!! please tell what did you end up doing and did you find a fix?? i did a factory reset to fix another problem, a huge problem with my sd card unmounting and mounting constantly. that's fixed, but now this!! I have the L09 too and B24. Thanks!

I am from the US and I bought an unlocked L09, but I don't know what ROM I have when I bought it. What can I do to fix it?

Check what region you have in system menu *#*#2846579#*#* then push 3 and next 4 and see what it's there

I ended up downgrading to B300. I stayed at that for almost three months, I was afraid to do anything. I realize B300 is meant to be transitional, but it worked perfectly. I just upgraded to B331 and it's working great. Hopefully this will help someone who went through what I did. Talk about panic! Lol (^_-)

The solution is flash the cust archive for your mate https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0ujlg0k07nr7wja/AACBJn4wW7jgB7wBD9FcIVvXa?dl=0 (l09) and flash b300, after flash your favorite rom

Thanks, in my case that was the very solution!
I'm from Peru, my phone is Huawei Ascend Mate 7 TL-09 from Bitel . While I was trying upgrading my firmware (KK), I didnt know anything about importance of CUSTOM.BIN. So without any kind a backup I just installed new firmware over the original one, many many times... but... without attaching appropiate custom bin, and so went erasing totally my own CUST file.
You have shared with us the HW - EU (Europe) custom bin and that's nice, it works 100000%
Thank you so much!! :good::good::good::good::good:

Reset Fails when doing factory reset/downgrade from B331
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you could help, I see a lot of experts on this phone and I'm new to XDA-Developers. I upgraded my Mate 7 to B331, some of the features I had are not working and I'm trying to go back to original form factor (KitKat 4.4) but I get install failed when trying to roll back with the transition update.app
Would like to hear your recommendations.
Thanks,

[Q] MT-L09

Hello All,
i have purchased my Mate 7, model L09. I have been messing around a little bit, and from needrom i downloaded rom MT7-TL00-V100R001C01B120SP07.. it is working, but is completely Chinese. All Google apps and everything is working fine..i can live with that.
But it is possible to go back to L09 firmware? Somehow i am not able to go back. I downloaded B120SP04 from German forum. All the time failed. Both ways, either local update or forced update. Even factory reset fails.
Had anybody this issue? Could anybody help me to get back to European firmware?
Every advise will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I don't think there is a European ROM image or update available yet. I think you may have to wait for an update to be released for MT7-L09 as there has none been released yet.
I am not sure, though.
Thanks

Unfortunately i cannot update at all. Neither local nor forced.
Am i doing something wrong? I followed all instructions. And nothing. All the time failed.
Could anyone send me a in CWM backed up L09 rom or a flashable zip? I assume i am able to do this way only.
Thank you.

Question: Most Stable Firmware for TL10

Ok, so I've been flashing different firmware since buying this phone 4 months ago. I love this phone but I must admit, its software sucks big time. I cannot even count how many times I upgraded and rolled back. To be honest, it's very tiring. I have to backup everything everytime I upgrade firmware.
So recently, there's been a few new firmwares for TL10. I received an OTA almost 2 weeks ago (B329) and downgraded back to B120 because sometimes screen timeout doesn't work.
And then there are these:
1. B331 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/l09-tl10-ascend-mate-7-b331-lollipop-t3294677
2. B324 - http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=67023
B324 has 2 releases. The old one was released in December while the new one was released on January 7. Both firmwares don't have the same file size.
So my question, did anyone try any of the said firmware? I would just flash them but then again, I don't want to get disappointed.

Huawei ascend mate 7 update, what to do?

Hello guys, I just want to get help with updating my MT7-L09C900B324 TO marshmallow I've noticed that this is a difficult procedure most of all because of the firmwares. Thats why I thought it might be great to gather the best firmwares.. And help people that are in the same situation... Cheers
That is difficult as it depends on whether it's Chinese firmware or international, whether or not it has dual SIM and what region the existing firmware is for. So many combinations.
IMO, only use an update or ROM that has an included pdf stating what versions it can update. Check this against what is installed. Many people brick through haste and ignorance.
You also need stock recovery to do it. Bootloader can be locked or unlocked for OTA or update. I prefer to unroot too, if just an OTA update. I also think it safest to wipe cache and dalvik. Start fresh.

Updating huawei ascend mate 7 to marshmallow
As far as I know it's the Malaysian firmware, I update it manually seems it was taking too long for the Ota to arrive. Of course, from kitkat to lollipop. Now, the Ota supposed to be kicking in but I got nothing.. Do you think it has something to do with the firmware that I have? I thought it was because of that, and believe if I don't change it, will never work

Need help with me phone... Malware installed possibly...

I possibly have installed malware on my phone (Huawei Ascend Mate 7) while installing some random apps and now its irritating the hell out of me. I tried factory resetting but still the problem persists. Random apps getting downloaded, ads on the home screen, battery heating up are some of the problems I am facing.
I am planning to completely remove the Android OS from the phone and replace it with a newer version or maybe the same version. I don't really have any experience in this field so please can some help me with this?
I have not rooted my phone yet. I didnt find an update for my phone (Replacing the Android Kitkat to Lollipop) but I am not sure if that will solve the problem ( Completely remove the OS since factory resetting didnt solve the problem ).
If there is something else I should be doing please help me out with it.
Thanking you!
Please help me!! I am a novice in such stuff or else I would had sorted things by myself instead of asking here!
What firmware you have???

[Solution]Random reboots and freezes

Since i bought my ZE520KL it was rebooting and freezing to the point of being unusable. Did some searching, on Zentalk forum there was a guy with same problem, he downgraded few firmwares to find out that version UL-ASUS_Z017D_1-WW-13.20.10.79 is the most stable foe he's device, luckily so for mine too. Phone works flawlessly since yesterday, before one hour without rebooting was a good run. Anyway, link below to direct download, hope it will help someone
