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

There are now tons of threads detailing a myriad of methods of getting L on Honor 6. As far as I can tell
You cannot get CM12
You can somehow get 5.1 + EMUI3.1
So can anyone post the correct links to where I can get L? I am currently running CM11, and I have a custom recovery, so flashing is ok for me.
I already replied to you in another thread. Check it.

Download B309 package.
Flash over B374.
Go further down to B109SP01 from B309.
Update to B115.
Update to B500 with this update. zip.
You'll get B500 version if you are in India and not B507. I don't know the reason but that's what happened to me and few other people. I'm back to B374 as this ROM is buggy for daily usage. India will also be releasing lollipop update soon so I suggest it's better to stay away from this. While on the other hand Malaysia has also started updating to Lollipop, that update is over B380, update file is not uploaded by anyone yet.

Hi, thanks for replying.
If huawei is indeed releasing updates, I can wait. But can you tell me if the update will rewrite my recovery? I will certainly give this a shot if I can do a restore of my current ROM from recovery.

It's difficult to come back to EMUI 3.0 I have tried that so I'm telling you. You should wait for 2-3 days as Lollipop is coming soon. And yes there is a different recovery in Lollipop.
There is no cwm available for it. So coming back is not as easy as jumping from 3.0 to 2.3
Hello, All.
I am the new owner of a Mediapad X2 GEM-701L which i have unlocked and rooted.
The only issue is this unit seems to be on B001 (Android 5.0).
I have looked through the threads and most of them are ROMs for 702L/703L. I cant find anything for 701L.
Can i flash a rom from the others on mine?
Android version 5.0 has lots of bugs and the updater doesnt find any new version for me.
What to do ?
i am at a loss here and i figure my only option is to change the device model # to a 703L that way i can force an update.
is this the only way?
The GEM 703L has more support, so if you can change to this one it would be a good elecction.
what are the differences in the 3 models anyway? I realize one model has 32G storage and 3Gig ram.i believe thats the 703?
the one i have is 2/16

The main difference amongst the 3 models is the 4G/LTE band support. The URL below gives you the details under CONNECTIVITY section

well i changed everything in the build.prop file that had the number 701 to 703 and did check for update and it said no update.
i even used HiSuite to check for updates. Nothing.
I am now wondering, if i put KangRom and flash with that will it work?

So far Huawei only focused on ROM development and upgrades for the 703.
Some 702 owners in this forum including myself had no issues flashing the 703 stock ROMs up to B109 (starting B106 it is Android 5.1.1) but with the limitation of not being able to switch SIM for the 4/3G. Other than this, the Android 5.1.1 works beautifully for me on my 702 and I prefer to stay on 5.1.1
I've not seen any 701 owner done the same so far.
If you want to try at your own risk below is a good detailed method by "eenap"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/general/how-to-flash-rom-x2-gem-703l-gem-702l-t3228915
actually i saw that thread ...
at this point i am rather frustrated cause i dont want to end up with a bricked device.
if i had known this would be so much drama i would have bought a galaxy tab. (even though the mediapad is so nicer).
my only problem(s) right now is this:
in the thread you referenced to he has version above mine already installed. i have b001 which i assume is the lowest.
then
if i can find the original firmware just in-case i screw things over i can restore.

Original ROM hosted here including 701
https://yadi.sk/d/5YI63uiAhz5UD/Rom/Original
But the 701 stock ROM listed above is B002 - are you sure yours is B001 ?
ya well i guess i am unlucky.
mine says GEM-701LV100R001C100B001
i saw your link and those updates are newer than mine. maybe i should grab both and see if i can do a local file update with them

My honor X2 (GEM-701L) is in B003, no update since i have it. Waiting for EMUI 3.1...
HELLO HUAWEI / HONOR, WAKE UP AND UPDATE MY X2...
I've been reading alot of the thread on this forum, about how to flash gem-703L rom to 701/702. But I'm still unsure if it's a good idea to convert your 701/702 to 703, lets say that I wanted to stay stock on my converted 702>703, will the OTA cause any problems ?
I understood that it's not possible to go back to the stock 701/702 rom, unless Huawei decide to make a similar ROM version for 701/702.
I would love to have a feedback from those who has converted their 701/702 to 703 please comment with some pro/cons.

There are no cons so far. Actually there are all pros to upgrading. You'll be on a newer version of Lollipop, you'll get Marshmallow when it drops, you'll have access to custom ROMS and you won't have those 5.0 bugs.
Ive to decide to buy this phone
So im in italy , 701L has the right bands, if I upgrade to 703L for getting marshmellow then I have problema with bands?
If yes then how I get android 6?
Thanks
I did a 701>703 Upgrade and the only con so far is the more complex update process. As far as i know, if you want to stay stock, you have to flash a Custom Boot everytime you want to make an OTA update. So flash TWRP Recovery, flash the latest Custom Boot, flash the appropriate Stock Recovery, do the OTA update.
At least thats is my own experience, please correct me if i am totally wrong.
But this is really the only disadvantage and only if you want to stay stock. In return you get a blazing fast device with the latest OS, features and incredible battery life.

For Marshmellow you have to wait some time.
As @audioralf says here, you do not lose your bands.
I read mamu guides, the first one posted work so on 701l?
Thanks

I still haven't convert my 702 to 703, I'm not 100% sure about the conversion because I need google apps/contacts and so on. I'm not sure how it's done when I've convert the phone, will I be able to add a google account normally? will all my contacts/mail/calendar sync normally like on the gem 702 ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/help/problems-play-store-t3311823
Is there any catch at all ? I've read that someone had problem with encryption his phone, after converting to 703.
I just want a 100% working phone after the conversion, will no catch at all.
If I'm wrong in any matter please feel free to enlight me
I saw the guide but I dont have the sd card, its needed right ? I just got a fresh phone
anywway im on 701L b003, any link to guide to upgrade this firmware ?
thanks!
Hi all. After days of searching and reading all posts I still didn't find what I need.
I own a NTX-AL10 Chinese phone and like to make it European or International.
So I need the proper image files to flash with adb fastboot or a complete zip to flash with TWRP. An European or International recovery will also be very helpful. For now it shows as a Next model with NTX-C900B170. So maybe the international NXT-AL10 recovery will do? Please, any help would be very appreciated because I am in fact a newbie.
as far as i can see ure already on the international B170 firmware so....what else do u need?
if ure planning to make your AL10 completely into an L29 model including automatic ota updates etc u can forget about that for the time being. there are some efforts going on to reprogram specific models into different ones, but none of them successful thus far. so for now ure stuck with manually crossflashing firmwares

On this rom the phone freeze now and than. But it's the only I'm able to find. So I need a (Preferred NTX-AL10) C432 or C900 rom with proper recovery. It's already rooted and with twrp. I wouldn't mind to go to a stock rom as long as is it one of the above mentioned and I can use ota updates.

I am satisfied with staying AL10 but now it's reporting as "model NEXT Build NXT-C900B170" ,also in HISUITE and the phone freeses every now and then.
What can I do?
Please educate me.
hm thats strange. the most current AL10 firmware is B168 with an OTA update available for B172. u can also try and install any one of the four custom roms available in the dev section

I just flashed this B168 rom of the same developer and I think that did the trick.
It seems it solved my problems.
Thanks for all your help.

So I dont know if I can safely downgrade now... I cant disable my lockscreen no matter what I do so I guess b810 has this bug or im just unlucky...
This guide
[GUIDE] Back to Stock ROM (the sure method) has a bunch of people mentioning bootloops amongst other problems and Im worried.
Does it matter that I have a European model with Indian firmware?
Im sorry if this question is stupid but ive searched through the forums and cant find what im looking for...
Also, anyone have a suggestion of what is currently the best ROM to use? Both official and unofficial?
Thanks for your time reading this
Im sorry, may I bump this up? I'd really like to downgrade
