Gem 702L user's downgrade guide:
For people who want to convert their devices back to 702L and downgrade, there's a way. After Huawei Taiwan releases a downgrade pack, it's actually easy.
Result:
Battery charging is normal.
Debugging mode can be turned on.
Basically everything just working!
You have a functioning stock gem-702L.
Cautions:
1, My device was purchased in Taiwan. All files I used in this process are for TW gem-702l. Please download all the necessary files in TW version, just in case.
2, I am not a dev. I have no ability to help you if you brick your device. You need to consider this before you decide to go ahead.
Alright, here we go.
Preparations:
1. Download 702L downgrade pack (it's only 2 kb): http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=81363&version=323452&siteCode=tw
2. Download 702L TW B005 stock firmware(1.25gb): http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=59524&version=193667&siteCode=tw
3. Download 702L TW B005 flashable cust zip (Thank ajsmsg78 for making it a while back):https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19718077/CUST-GEM-702L-D001.zip
4. Download TWRP-ENG-5.0.img (please find it somewhere in the forum).
Process:
1. My device was on 703L Android 5.1.1. I am not sure if you can do it directly from android 6.0, feel free to try or downgrade to B112 stock first.
2. extract boot.img, cust.img, system.img, userdata.img, recovery.img from gem-702l B005 stock rom, and fastboot flash all of them.
Boot up your phone, do minimal setup. Now everything in "About phone" is correct except the internal storage volume.
Do a factory reset and format internal storage. Now everything in "About phone" is correct.
3, optional:
if your "About phone" is all messed up, you need to do this. Otherwise, not necessary for legit 702L devices.
Flash twrp 5.0, then flash gem-702l b005 cust zip. Then flash stock recovery to format your internal storage.
4. Extract files from the downgrade pack. Put the dload directory in your SDcard. Manual update it. It should go through 100%.
(If it fails, that means your system's still on Android 5.1.1, and this method doesn't apply to your device. No need to go any further, just flash back to gem-703L ROMs and stay there.)
6, After the phone boot up, copy the full gem-702l B005 stock firmware to your SDcard, manual update it. It should go through 100%.
Voila! You are back.
Now you are on gem-702L TW B005, You can upgrade to B201 if you want, or flash back to your regional stock rom.
Here's my phone back to gem-702L and upgrade to B201.

What if I am on Kangvip B211?
Do i have to go back the whole way or can I just put the Rom and the Cust from 702L on my converted 702?
Thx, Ray

I'll say it's safer to get back to stock B112 (Android 5.1.1).
you need to do a fastboot flash of B005(android 5.0) imgs during the process. I am not sure if you flash an android 5.0 img in Android 6.0, it won't go into bootloop or something.
It takes certain procedure even for a 703L to go back from 6.0 to 5.1.1, so I wouldn't recommend you to do the fastboot flash directly in Android 6.0.
This is a big effort and i d'ont know, if this fits for the Rom..........
I think i ll stay at Kangvip.
Thy for ur reply.

No problem. This is a backup plan.
Now that there is a safe way to get back, we can switch between 702l and 703l roms anyway we like it.

You must extract boot.img, cust.img, system.img, userdata.img, recovery.img from gem-702l B112 stock rom, and fastboot flash all of them First.
Great guide. I can see this being useful for anyone wanting to sell their phone and bring it back to stock after they already converted. I'll probably keep mine converted as the same thing with updates will probably happen in the future.

Install TWRP and try wiping system first.
What about the 701?
Would it be converted to 702 that way?
Could we change it to 701 after running downgrade script via fastboot flash b003 files from 701 and dload B003?

I think the trick is how to cheat the System that your device is in certain region for local firmware dload to work.
And that is where editing oeminfo sets in.
For 701L, since there's only downgrade pack for 702L or 703L, you need to downgrade as a 702L or 703L.(I recommand 702L because it's easier)
Now when your are on 702L B005, next step is to edit oeminfo to switch back to 701L.
You need to edit your oeminfo to eu. Then you can flash any Eu firmware, in this case, B003 701L. Then you are back to 701L.
I don't have a 701L so I can't try. but here's an instruction for Huawei devices to switching regions.. You edit your oeminfo to hw/eu(europe), then you can cheat the system that you are now an Europe device. It will let you go through the dloading of B003 for 701L.
Maybe someone wants to give it a try.
If it works, we might not even need that much work to switch between 703L and 702L/701L, we can simply edit our oeminfo and Voila!

Thanks for outlining the steps - I managed to bring my 702L on 703L-B109 ROM downgrade back to 702L-Taiwan-B005 and then upgrade to 702L-Taiwan-B201 Android 6.0 !!
Guyzz. For those who upgraded their phones to B201 .. do you have any bugs ?
I installed the rooted version on my 701L and it works fine but i have some issues with some web apps .. and i have strange error in the system log ..
Am not sure if that bug exits becuase it's a beta build or just because i converted my phone ..
Does anyone know what's happening

Sorry I've been playing around different roms so I just switched to 703L B111 near stock. I am not currently on 702L.
But when I was on it, there was one thing. One of my game apps counldn't connect to my Facebook account due to some "Hash key invalid" in B005 firmware, But the problem was solved when I upgraded to B201. Other than that, everything worked fine.

If you want to switch back to stock 702L from 703L roms, you need to do the full downgrade and conversion.
HI all,
i'm stuck at trying to dload the downgrade package. Somehow dload method doesn't startup, no matter which way i try: Updater=> Local Update or Vol Up+Down+Power.
Local updates does nothing and ends up normal boot up after another restart.
Vol up down pwr goes to TRWP.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Kevin Chan
I had similar situation and could solve it. I can not exactly remember, but it depends also on which version you were before.
In TWRP do factory reset.
In bootloader mode flash recovery boot and system.img from b112.
After system start do factory reset on EMUI. If system does not start try same with b106 files.
If you are on B112, dload update.app for B211 and then dload update.zip to B211.
In this state the downgrade script may run.
To continue normal install KangVIP or b203 international.

Yes - a prerequisite is to firstly unlock your bootloader because this is not the "official" way to update your device's ROM. Basically we're using the fastboot commands to do it so unlocking the bootloader is a necessary pre-requisite.

Hi eenap
I initially only flash 2 IMGs:
i) CUST.img
ii)SYSTEM.img
because I was assuming the kernel for the 702L should be preserved and see whether I'll get the SIM unable to switch issue you'd faced.
After "fastboot reboot" my 702L showed a new "HONOR" logo that stays there for almost 2 minutes....it seems to be doing something I'm not sure what.
After that it reboots and show the usual Huawei splash screen but this is where it get's interesting. It presented me with a Chinese menu with 4 options which seems to indicate the ROM upgrade didn't work out and from then on it keeps on rebooting non-stop even before I could select any of the 4 options i.e. boot loop
So I went back twrp and did factory reset before rebooting into bootloader mode and this time I flashed all 4 IMGs you mentioned above.
But after reboot it doesn't even show me anything, it just boot loops.
There must be something different that I'm missing from your instructions above ? BTW I did not even flash the B015 before the stock B106 - is this even required as I don't see what it will achieve ?
---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------
And after I used twrp to restore by NANDROID backups I reboot back into my normal 702L state prior to this exercise.
I just realized I lost the 1st of the 3 menu options within "Dual Card Management" which is to select which SIM is the 2G/3G/4G. Prior to trying to flash the B106, my SIM2 is the default 2G/3G/4G.
So now I'm "stuck" and cannot change it even though I managed to restore back to my previous original state - so something must have changed in the 4 flashes ?
Try to flash stock rom b003 (702L) by dload.

Ok I extracted the 4 IMGs from the stock 702L B003 ROM and reflash them.
After reboot the " Dual Card Mgmt" showed the usual 3 menus and I can select which SIM for primary 3/4G albeit like a brand new initial setup.
Finally I reboot into twrp and restored by Nandroid backup and reboot back into normalcy with all my previous settings, apps and the SIM select intact.
Good experience lol.
Hi eennap, what's wrong with flashing to b107, 108, 109? I'm thinking about flashing my 702L to 703L then updating to the latest update (and fix the notification problem).
Getting 702L to accept 703L ROMs

Steps:
.

I flash X2_TWRP_CN_5.1 >> kangVIP b015 >> stock rom b015 >> stock rom b106 >> X2_TWRP_CN_5.1.1_kangvip >> kangVIP b106 v2 >> fix multi-window for all app >> stock rom b106 (fix multi-window not work on kangVIP) this strep don't factory reset.
PS. Flash stock rom by ADB and don't update to b107,108,109. You should be wait stock rom b109.

Hi eenap
Before you flashed kangVIP b015 mentioned above, were you on stock B003 (702L) ROM ? I'm trying to figure out under what conditions you were able to make your 702L accept the 703 ROMs in this sequence ?

I'm waiting 14 days to unlock my GEM-702
Can I flash this rom without update 5.1.1 first ?
How to update it when I unlock my mediapad?
1. Unlock boot loader
2. Install TWRP Recovery for 5.0
3. Flash the B110 ?
Is the step correct? Or I need to flash the kangVIP first?

So far I've not known of any 702L owners that had successfully moved from B003 to B110 directly. You may try your above 4 steps and see whether it works but between step 2 & 3 please do a full nandroid twrp backup just in case.
My own exprience was from B003 you need to at least go to B106 first before you can flash B109, B110 or anything higher than B106 because it requires twrp 5.1.1 which only works with B106 onwards.
Twrp 5.0 seems to work up till B015 only.
On how to move from B003 to B106 please refer to "eenap" guide:

Just flash the universal Cust, and this will fix the false info "about the phone".
Did you go all the steps which I have described here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64623653&postcount=378
I had tried to jump directly vom B106 to B111KangVIP, but it was not working properly.
If you try to install back the B001 you will perhaps loose the function to charge the battery. So be warned.
And by the way: my 701L had version B003. Are you sure your phone had B001? If yes ok. But if you have fully upgraded to Android 5.1.1 the flash of a lower version could produce unwanted effects.
After some experiments I restarted by flashing the B106 did a factory reset and then installed B109 and B111 stock via dload and then B111KangVIP. Then you will have back the full working machine and you will be happy.

You find univeral cust here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4VFhMc21DNGYtMHc/view?usp=sharing
You must flash it via 5.1.1 TWRP https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4Uy1XdXVoSG1SMXc/view?usp=sharing
If you already are on B111 the way back may lead you in disability to charge the battery. So most people here will say NO. That was also my experience. But you can try that and report, if you see the light and lightning icon for charging. This would be interesting.

i will tray but if it cant charging can i return it ???
and which room hasn't Chinese language
Do a Backup in TWRP before you start the dload from the GUI.
If you have flashed the universalt cust you will see that the Andriod verson and storage Info will be correct.
But if did not go thru B106,B109,B111stock you will not have a full working Android 5.1.1. If this would be possible Huawiei would offer the dload for B111 if you are ond B106. No they don't. They inform you to upgrade to 109 via OTA or dload. When on B109 you will get the message tha there is a update for B111. So I guess we have to go that way, even if it seems that you have installed a B111. You have the wrong infos in the "about phone" and the universal cust is inside the B111KangVip.zip file. So this is curious. Start with flashing universal Cust, then flash 4 images for B106 and then go all steps via dload.
flashed the universalt cust and information still error
Do a Backup within TWRP (NANDROD) . Then do the dload after you have started the rom.
All ROMs for the 703 start in chinese, but you will be able to set the language. B111KANGVip has removed the most chinese.
---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------
Ok if you still have the information error this is an indeed, that you must do all steps going thru all the fw versions.
Do that NANDROID of incomplete B111. If you have the "not charging problem" turn the device complete off to charge for a while. If it does not charge do a recover of the B111 to charge, then continue.
Start to install B106 and follow my instruction list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64623653&postcount=378
4. b This flashes GEM-703L official stock ROM b106 via dload folder. [This flash maybe abort on about (90-95%), but this does not effect the next steps] Wait to press ok until you have exchanged the dload folder for the next steps.
i wont do that setup restart and do nothing

Do you have your original cust folder or your original rom? You may have a different cust folder based on your region and I can add your cust folder to the cust mod so when you flash it your information will be correct.

Hi,
I really need some help. My phone is gem-702l model, on B112 stock rom of 703l.
Now that Huawei has released a stock Android 6.0 (B201) for gem-702l, I am thinking about switching back.
Here are the thing I did and problem that stopped me.
1. I updated to B209 following the instruction in XDA without any problem.
2. When successfully on B209, I downloaded my stock B201 rom in Huawei website and extracted the 5 required img files: recovery, system, boot, cust, userdata
3. I fastboot flash the 5 img files and reboot. So far so good. The About Pone is correct except internal storage volume.
4. I factory reset and format the internal SD. Now everything in About Phone is correct.
5, I put the dload of b201 in my MicroSD. Strangely there's no "update from SD Card" option, So I use the three key(power, vol+/-)to hard flash the whole dload directory. It failed.
THe problem is : it seems that I can only fastboot flash 5 img files of 702l, there's no way of doing the whole dload update.
Now my phone is not fully converted to Gem-702l. it's kind of half 703l and half 702l in android 6.0.
Is there anything I missed or anything I can do to make it fully converted to 702l?
Please help! thank you so much.

First you need to go back to the last 703L 5.1 system (B112) then flash the universal cust mod, then try the dload to B201. You also may have to go back to the last 702L 5.0 rom before you try to update to B201 but i'm not totally sure.

I downgraded to B112 successfully and then tried the dload update. It didn't even go through the first 5 seconds and failed. I guess it's because my phone's on 703L cust so the 702l stock rom didn't apply to it.
As for downgrading to 5.0, there's still no way of doing that for 702l, so I am still stuck here.
******edited***
I just "fake flashed" back to5.0, which means fastboot flash the required img files, and tried to dload update to B201 of 702l.
It's still not working. Now I am at my wit's end.

Flash the B112 universal cust in TWRP then fastboot flash back the stock recovery, then try the dload again. If that doesn't work, flash twrp, then the cust mod, then the stock recovery then so a factory reset from settings. If the reset completes successfully then flash twrp again then the cust mod then stock recovery then try the dload method again.

That's exactly what I did. The dload just wouldn't go beyond 5 seconds.
The problem, I think, is that the universal cust marked the phone as 703l(that's the point of universal cust), but the stock rom B201 is for 702l. Therefore, the first 5 seconds of dloading when it verified the model, the stock rom and the model just didn't match. So the dload failed.
There's no flashable cust for 702l to make the phone match the requirement of stock B201 rom. I think this might be where the problem is.
The cust mod includes the cust from the 701L and 702L as well so it should work as long as you go back to B112. What is the reason you want to go back to the 702L firmware?

There are certain functions that only exist in my region, such as the nationwide SMS warning regarding natural disasters. It's a system that being developing in my country. All phone brands will integrate the thing in their roms and push out for OTA. I would like to be on the receiving end. Also, If I need to RMA my phone someday, it will be nice to be able to switch back to stock rom for warranty.
I thought it was easier to switch between models when they were both on the same version of Android. I was wrong.
Hello,
Where can I find the Android 6.0 (B201) for gem-702l ?

Nice and clear tutorial with all what is needed to successful update. If you proceed it should work without flaw.
I would Not recomnend that. This way will erase the fitting cust on 701 models. I don't think the cust it's a nice goiter which we can replaced by a randomly selected one. Why do you think the device runs in bootloop on this guide?
This is more complicated than the way AJ figured out.
The 'universal cust 112' is the key.
I did it on 3 devices now with 100% success in dload and no bootloops.
2 factory resets and 3 dloads (106 112 and 209) are necessary.
Then install 202 or 211 KangVIP from AJ to have a full functional rooted ROM with your origin cust you came from.

Perhaps indeed it replaces information of 701, I am not a specialist.
The bootloop when its causes are on both models 701 & 702.
Despite this my tutorial that my 701 & 702 work perfectly with the wifi and bluetooth.
I do not question the quality nor the audioralf skills,
I just shared my tutorial after many trials of other tutorials that never It Works for me.
Well you link files you don't write where you got them from and don't write for wich model they are made for and what are requirements they based on.
Maybe it works, but it's a risk to continue on a bootloop with further installations.
The regular way works without errors.
If someone is looking for another dirty short way :
Simply run the official downgrade script from 6.0 to 5.0. for 702.
It even runs on a 5.0 701 model.
After this it behaves like a 702.
Then you can dload the regular update to 6.0 for 702 models.
After this flash TWRP 6.0 and install AJ b211
This method is also dirty because you loose the 701 cust for your region and hardware
This may be have consequences we don't know.
So better go the regular way AJ had figured out and ask in forum if you habe problems.

B111 SimpyGoogle => KANGVIP B211 link?
Hi Audioralf,
thanks for pointing this out. I followed your great guide and got to SimplyGoogle B111 on a GEM-701L. (You updated it with a shortcut to B111, which worked just fine. Some lines in the guide are a bit misleading due to the newer shortcut but all is great).
Now I'd love to get to KANGVIP B211 on Android 6. But how do I get there from B111? I can't find AJs guide you pointed out in your comment. Could be please post a link? (I have searched but without success).
I succeeded

I did succeeded with a mixture of both methods.
I started off following the "original version" of AJ and when I never got into upgrading into 6 I decided to stay at Near...B111.
When I saw Oblemay's tuto I decided to try it. Funny enough, coming from B111 I (701l > 703l) I never got the boot loop!
Also, since I was not able to unpack the rar file from step 6.2 I simply ignored this one and continued with 6.3.
Guess what it worked perfectly. Only issue was unstable wifi until I did a factory reset from within 211 (not TWRP)!
I am very happy with my former 701l now on Marshmallow. Thanks to AJ and Oblemay - Maybe it worked for me with Oblemay's (reduced) version as I also live in France .... Do you also have problems with the mail app in 211?
So can anybody provide clear instructions or links which work for 701 on b003? I am really confused right now, because their are so many Different Methods/Versions..

It could be really good to have some clear way... Actually I was asked about such process by one of russian friends who own GEM701 and do not uderstand nothing, specially using Google translator . As I am owner of GEM703L I am not familiar with 701 ways... But I want to help my companion...

Do you still need help? I did not see your comment.
The way from 112 to 212 is described many times: Just flash boot, system and recovery from b112. Start system and do a factory reset. Then the update.zip of 211 can be started via firmware update menu. (Select partitionally update)
Then install TWRP and AJ KangVIP 211

If someone is interested in rooting method of GEM702 with stock B202 ROM. As i wrote one of my koleauges want to root. I was asking in PM @audioralf and @ajsmsg78. Finally using all advices rooting was done successfully by this method (unit should be unlocked and TWRP installed):
1. Copy to root of SD BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip
2.Boot to TWRP and before installing SuperSU go to Advanced->Terminal and execute command "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.super.su" (without quotes).
3. Not leaving TWRP install SuperSU from SD.
@ajsmsg78 has some comments concerning rooting with systemless supersu:
ajsmsg78 said:
Just flash SuperSU 2.78 in twrp. My roms are already rooted if he wants to go that route but I wouldn't use systemless root on the X2 as it causes app freezing issues. It's something with Huawei's kernel.

Now we will see. My companion will testing his installation and report back. if the method proves to be flawless @ajsmsg78 could use it in his ROMs....
EDIT// Unfortunately friend reports so this method gives not fully working root.
Still waiting a clear way to convert GEM-701L B001 to GEM-703L
If you are on b001, try to
flash TWRP always on recovery2 partition:
Fastboot flash recovery2 twrp_eng_5_0.img.
So you can keep the device usb connected.
Then install universal cust mod 112.
Always put update.app file to dload folder on external sd. Always exchange the file within this folder on the next steps.
Start with dload process for B003, if you are on Android 5.0 but boot not on B003.
Start system and select firmware update and press local update to select full update to B003
If you are on b003, then
- flash TWRP eng for 5.0 and install universal cust mod 112
Start in bootloader mode and flash the 015 system, boot and recovery.img
Start system and do reset on EMUI.
Then flash TWRP and install universal cust mod 112 again and start dload with b106 update app
Now start system and repeat reset on EMUI including format internal sd.
Flash TWRP FOR 5.11 and Install again universal cust mod 112 and start dload via EMUI with update.app from b112.
Start system and then start local update with incremental update.zip for 211 in dload folder
Finally install TWRP for 6.0 and install
kangvip 211
My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
It fails to update to B003 maybe because of the Region/Vendor.
My Build number is GEM-701LV100R001C199B001
Is it possible to change the Region name or the Vendor?
try if it works, if you install universal cust b112 before b003 dload.

Thank you for your time. Will try that later because this is a busy week for me at the office.
Can't flash the TWRP.
Do I have to root first?
