Quick and Painless Guide to Rooting the GEM-703L - Huawei MediaPad X2

I just finished successfully rooting my GEM-703L, which I just recieved this afternoon, and I thought I would create this painless guide to rooting. Once you follow these steps, you will have a rooted Mediapad X2, with SuperSU and TWRP 2 installed.
This method was only tested on my 703-L, but it may likely work on other variants of the Mediapad X2. Please use caution when rooting other models.
Update to the latest Android 6 using HiTools
HiTools is just like Kies if you are a Samsung user. You could alternatively install the update via the OTA manager.
Put device into manufacture mode by typing:
Code:
*#*2846579#*#*
Navigate to "Background settings" > "USB ports settings", and select "Manufacture mode"
You can watch this video for more info.
Download DC unlocker
Extract and run DC unlocker (with admin rights)
Choose "Huawei Phones" under "Select manufacturer"
Log in to your account using the generated Password and username you created in the "server" tab on the right
Click the magnifying glass on the left-hand side to automatically find the model
Under "Unlocking", choose find bootloader
Open fastboot on your machine. I used Minimal Fastboot for Windows
Put the phone into download mode via pressing and holding the volume down key and the power button
Type in the following command to unlock the device, using the obtained unlock code:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock {unlock_code}
Where {unlock_code} is the code obtained from step 6.
You should see a red message at the bottom saying "Device is unlocked" if you were successful.
Download the latest TWRP img file to the directory where you installed minimal fastboot (mine was C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
You can find the latest TWRP here
Type in the following to install TWRP:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery X2-TWRP-3.0-2-BLACK-BLUE.img
Copy the ROM of your choice to an SD card, insert the SD card
Turn off the device, and reboot while holding the volume up and power buttons until you see the TWRP logo
Install any ROM of your choice
Note that I had to wait roughly 5 minutes upon first booting to the newly-installed ROM. I would guess this has to do with de-odexing, but not sure. Just be patient.

IMHO flashing TWRP doesn't mean automatically ROOT... There is no place in your tutorial where you mention installing Super SU. Some less experienced user could be disoriented... Of course if someone flash ROM with root then will have it. Otherwise not.

PayPal is not supported in my country. So I am not able to purchase credits. And Huawei support are not answering my emails. Plus I receive error every time I access the Bootloader code page on Huawei's support website.

Use Bitcoin. That's what I did, and it worked great.

I'm following along just fine until I get to step 15. The phone reboots into EMUI recovery mode, with directions in Chinese.
The twrp upload in the fastboot is the correct number of bytes, so it looks like it's the correct file.
What am I doing wrong?

And next time be more careful what are you doing
Thanks for this. But I tried it many time. After sending recovery file and 20% its show this message, *Remote recovery not allowed. *
How can I fix this problem?
May be it is needed to unlock the bootloader first.
Haw can I unlock bootloader?
try to be more proactive, everything is already on web. Good tool is google search!
Unlocking bootloader.
First you have to ask huawei for unlock code
http://en.club.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=apply
When you get your code you have to connect your phone on fastboot mode and you will send this command (change the code to your code from mail)
fastboot oem unlock 1234567812345678
then your bootloader is unlocked and you can change your recovery
When i use this command, its shows me this Msg!
"C:\fastboot flashall
error: neither -p product specified nor ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT set"
and why do you use this command?????
It is much better to use command that is suggested.
Sorry, but I am loosing my patience with you. You refuse to use search function, you refuse to listen to advices,....
So please go to the repair center and pay for the repair.

You have a big problem because your bootloader is locked, and to know your ID you need to turn him ON! ...
To unlock bootloader you need to know:
IMEI (easy)
SN (Serial number) easy to
And ID (Huawei ID from the device) and to know you must use the dial key pad ....
My advice is Flash a full ROM ...
Go to http://consumer.huawei.com/en/ Look for your Region, search for G6 and in downloads see if have your ROM.
download, extract the dload folder , copy to sd card, press vol +, vol - and power at same time and hold it, release power key on power ON, and vols when start to flash.
Sorry but you will loose your data, but fix the phone.
have the same problem

Flash TWRP again & boot TWRP before booting Android again. The stock rom tries to replace TWRP but TWRP will fix that on its first boot.

There was trouble with opening bootloader. I used a opening-tool, which said, that the device bootloader is now open - but it wasn´t. Everything´s ok now. I managed bootloader-opening with cmd.exe.
I think this thread should be titled "tested" instead of "untested".... works great! thanks

Hi Rahul, Do you mean I should wait for the marshmallow update to be done and after that I can root or should I wait till the warranty period gets over?
If you root you will be able to get any marshmallow rom that is available for the phone anyway. So don't worry about that nonsense. The warranty however is a different issue. It's all about whether you see the 'risk' as worth it.
Work !!
I root it in ten minute, thanks.
Can it be changed to say 'tested and works great', as it does.

I also have a concern on rooting. I like Moto Display function, so if I root it, I will lose it, so I will not.

How to Root MOTO X PLAY XT1562 Running Android 6.0.1

Hello Moto X Play owners
This guide is for those who still don't figure out how to root moto x play running android 6.0.1(stock Rom)
Old Thread for rooting moto x play is outdated, so decide to write this one with updated steps and links.
As usual I'm not responsible for your bricked device, as Motorola says Unlocking your boot loader is not for the faint of heart. you can't blame anybody but yourself. You will loose your warranty by unlocking your boot loader. and you will loose every data on your phone.
Still want to root your phone, okay fine follow these three steps to root your phone.
They are 3 Steps involved in this process.

2, install custom recovery
3, Install Super SU

B. Download all the required files from the below links
1.Download and install Motorola USB Drivers
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
2.Download Fast boot and extract it to your hard drive (file attached on this thread)
3.Download TWRP latest version (do not extract)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=17934

2. Plug in your device to your PC using a USB cable.
3. Head over to the Motorola website to get your unlocking key and follow the steps provided there or follow the same steps provided below.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
3. Go to the extracted fastboot folder and open a command prompt (ctrl+shift+right click and open command prompt)
4. At the prompt, type
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key.
Example: On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be

It supposed to work but I got xt1562 so I haven't personally checked this on xt1563 so I can't guarantee that. But in the previous thread people rooted their xt1563 using this method.
Before you can enter the unlock code in Fastboot, you have to enable it in the developer options first.

Better you keep your bootloader locked. There's no point to loose your warranty if you love stock rom.

Bought it in January so I'm almost out of warranty anyway. All I want is Adaway, XposedGEL and system wide icon packs. Extra freedom with tasker would be nice too. I wish Moto/Lenovo would just give us a better idea of when they're rolling N out but I'm sick of waiting. If it's easy enough to lock the bootloader again and get the OTA (I'm happy to wipe the device in the meantime) then I'm going to root this week

We can expect OTA by the end of Dec or Jan. You can restore stock rom for sure but never tried so I can't recommend it.

You don't. Is not possible. Unlock is not reversible. It is possible to achieve a relocked state which usually isn't helpful.
I have a strange issue where it's as if SuperSU stops and my root permissions are lost until I reboot. If I open any app that usually requests root through SuperSU it just hangs.
I'm using v2.62 so should I try a later version? Do I need to flash this in twrp or just install within Android or is this a known different problem?

if you are in stock use this:
go to terminal in TWRP - Advanced-Terminal type command in your phone:
Code:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
flash super su and restart your phone.
there is new version 2.79:

So, this is the updated guide for rooting the Moto X Play, right?
Completely working as of today still?
working but you need updated version twrp 3.0.2-r5 and supersu 2.79. here twrp:
Code:
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZPF6lZmr0aJ56hbe8rm51jfaaXU5L6O5EV
without systemless command you should use version 2.62-3

Step 1 : Unlock Bootloader
1. Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
2. Plug in your device to your PC using a USB cable.
3. Head over to the Motorola website to get your unlocking key and follow the steps provided there or follow the same steps provided below.

3. Go to the extracted fastboot folder and open a command prompt (ctrl+shift+right click and open command prompt)
4. At the prompt, type
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key.
Example: On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
copy this from the command prompt and paste in a notepad and remove all (bootloader) and make it string like belwo
0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
5. Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting this string in the field below, and clicking “Can my device be unlocked?”
If your device is unlockable, a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will now appear at the bottom of this page and agree the terms and condition and check your mail box for unlock key
6. copy your unlock code from mail and type the following command to unlock bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock KEY
replace unlock key with your copied code from mail. Now you will see a unlocked message on your device and your device will reboot. you will see a unlocked bootloader warning with vibration on your phone and you are successfully unlocked your bootloader.
Step 02 Installing custom recovery TWRP

8.Type in the following command into the Command Prompt Window and Enter.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-lux-3.0.2-r3.img
note that fastboot flash recovery is command and twrp... is our file name so if you are using different version change the name accordingly
9. Now restart your device using keys in your phone to recovery (make sure your are rebooting in to recovery)
10.When prompted allow twrp to make changes. And make a back up of your system from the twrp menu
(do not choose read only, if you choose read only android will erase your recovery next time you reboot and you can not root your phone.)
Step 03 Rooting your phone using Super SU V. 2.62-3
warning : make sure you have a back up of your current system copied to your hard disk or else you can't restore your device if something went wrong.

Root Guide

Found this while trolling through the Chinese forums, none of this is my work, I have translated the instructions as best I can.
Disclaimers; I have not tried this, it may brick the global rom, the custom recovery is likely only in Chinese language.
You need:
Boot Loader unlock code (currently probably not possible to get)
Huawei USB drivers
Recovery image (attached)
Magisk package (attached)
files: https://mega.nz/#!PM0EmYLA!384hZjmJ9ExNc7Q8rSqssHunWSO7AxQ3GA4qet6RX4E
Extract files to a folder, open command prompt and change into this folder.
Unlock bootloader (BL unlock will clear the phone data, please do a backup)
- Obtain an official unlock code
- double-click to open the "Huawei Toolbox.exe"
- click "unlock bootloader "
- enter the unlock code in the pop up window , click OK, and wait for the phone to unlock complete restart.
Flash the third-party recovery
- Turn off the phone and connect the computer. Press and hold the “Volume Down” button and “Power button” until the phone displays the android page and release your finger.
- open command prompt and run:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
- after seeing the two OKAY feedback from the command line, the flash is successful.
Enter recovery to flash root image (this step will clear all data of the mobile phone including memory card, please make a backup in advance)
- long press “Volume Up” and “Power” ", until you see the a twrp logo, release the keys and wait to enter recovery mode
- After entering recovery, click the second item “Clear”, click “Format Data Partition” in the lower left corner, slide the slider to enter the clear, wait for the progress bar to complete
- Return to the recovery homepage, click on the last item "Advanced", select the last item "Remove data forced encryption", slide the slider to release, wait for completion
Copy the root package to the phone
- In Command Prompt type or copy the following commands
adb push magisk-installer.zip /sdcard
adb push magisk.apk /sdcard
Install Image
- Whilst still in recovery mode, click the first item to install the magisk-installer.zip package from the sdcard , slide the slider to install, wait for the flash to complete, and restart the phone
- After reboot is complete, click “File Manager”, select the apk file “magisk.apk” just copied from the memory card when install is finished, open the magisk app and click “No, thank you” in the pop-up window
- Return to the command line tool, type the code to execute, and wait for the phone to automatically restart
Fastboot reboot recovery
- after the restart, open "magisk", it should show that the installation is complete, that is, ROOT is achieved.

That is actually what I was looking for
But none, problem is the v20 (china version) seems to get OTA way before us, they all got v143 2 weeks ago.
I did find the menu to do it, but it only supports if the image is stored on an sdcard, and when I click it it says no sdcard found. so its impossible.
Tried same with similar results. One day eh? ?
İ have V20 chinese version. İ want to root but could not find a way. Can you share the chinese forum maybe i can find how to unlock bootloader

If you read what I wrote in the first post you would see you cannot root without a bootloader unlock code.

Nice! Did unlocking bootloader factory reset your device?
Yes of course. All new Huawei and Honor do a reset after unlocking
i get bootloader unlock code from funkiehuwai for 20$
any one tried this instructions and have success?
I just wonder comments below will work?
*adb push magisk-installer.zip /sdcard
*adb push magisk.apk /sdcard

Does that mean you rooted you device (with the files from above) or you just unlocked the bootloader?
I was able to unlock my bootloader with a code from funkyhuawei (about 18 €, site seems to be down currently). I did not use the unlock tool above, mainly because its chinese
- Enabled "USB debugging" and "OEM unlock" in developer settings
- Connected phone to PC, opened adb and used "adb reboot bootloader"
- Unlocked via "fastboot oem unlock *16digit code*"
This worked out fine. However, as far as i understand it magisk is installed over twrp (recovery_ramdisk), removing twrp but granting you root. This makes me kind of nervous since twrp has been a nice safety net on several occasions. This is why I stopped after unlocking the bootloader. Maybe someone has more experience on this? Why is there so little interest in rooting this phone?
Regards
root achieved
I don't know if nobody's interested or nobody wants to try rooting this phone. However, I just went ahead and tried it. I used this guide: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#emui-9 (posted in https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-20/help/root-t3900266). https://androidhost.ru/search.html is were I got the firmware from (posted in https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-20/how-to/honor-view-20-ota-march-patch-t3909075/page12). I downloaded the 9.0.1.137 firmware, since this corresponds to the one currently installed on my phone.
In summary:
I extracted recovery_ramdis.img from the update.app with the huawei extractor. In order to see this image file, I had to uncheck "verify header checksum" under settings->extract.
I then transferred this file to my phone (download folder), downloaded newest magisk manager and installed it. I then pushed INSTALL next to magisk (which was not installed of course), Install again and then Patch boot image file. Choose your transferred recovery_ramdis.img and go ahead. Transfer patched file (now called patched_boot.img) back to PC.
For the next step, bootloader has to be unlocked already! Turn on "Enable OEM unlock" and "USB debugging" in the developer options and reboot to fastboot. Open ADB as usual and connect cable to phone. Type "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk *path to patched_boot.img*" and wait for success.
A few things to keep in mind:
-Had a bootloop with the newest version of the viper4android module!
-The root was done without custom recovery, therefore a magisk module leading to a bootloop requires you to factory reset and do everything again if you want root to work (at least i couldn't get it to work again by reflashing orginial recovery_ramdis.img followed by patched_boot.img).
-For rooting to work you have to boot phone to recovery (in this case resulting in a "normal boot"). This means pressing volume up and holding it when booting the phone. For restart you could use an app which lets you boot to recovery automatically.
-While the above my sound annoying, permanently gives you the chance to boot you phone unrooted. This is nice, especially when you have a bootloop due to a magisk module (which I had).
-According to the first link, you could install a custom recovery into the second recovery partition of Huawei/Honor devices (erecovery_ramdis). there is no official twrp available for Honor View 20 at the moment.
-After unlocking my bootloader (see post above) I had "device not verified" in google play store. After rooting, my device is verified again

You're welcome Be careful with sound improvement modules in Magisk! Had another bootloop with the Zirene module...
Which firmware did you get the recovery_ramdisk from in the end?

I get recovery-ramdisk from firmware PCT-AL10 9.0.1.129 . my phone is on version 9.0.1.144 but it worked:good:
After root i can not auto update software. 9.0.1.166 version is seen on ota but after download it says update is unsuccessful. Do you have any suggestion?
I think thats to be expected when rooted. Go for manual update I guess (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-20/how-to/honor-view-20-ota-march-patch-t3909075/page12). Personally I wouldn't bother with every update unless theres interesting new features and/or security updates. just to be on the safe side I would reflash the original recovery_ramdisk before updating! And backup your data!
NM Card
Hello !
Unless I'm mistaken, the View20 must be able to use nano sd cards (NM Card)

Please help to restore CC 9
Please help me bring my Xiaomi CC 9 back to life. I updated it with MIUI 11.3.3.0.PFGEUXM and my device does not boot normally. My bootloader is locked and an account is not installed in the developer settings. Does anyone know what to do ???
I got error -1 on my smartphone when I added account and device in the '' mi unlock status '' menu.
How to solve

Edit:
resolved: I logged out and logged into the Mi account on the device and gave no error
I have to wait 168H to unlock
Tks
GSI's are quite good. I have good SOT with ArrowOS GSI: 12h - 13 h. I think it's more interesting to use Pie GSI's for now.
Where can I get this ArrowOs GSI rom?
Unlock tool stops at 50%
What should I do when the Unlock Tool stops at 50% and reports: couldn't verify the device. Is it because I haven't waited the 10 days yet?
You have to wait to unlock bootloader.

you dont have to boot the image if you flashed it first, if you did 'fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img', no reason to do the boot part, just do fastboot reboot-recovery
if you dont want to flash twrp over your stock recovery, then use the fastboot boot recoveryname.img and then mess around with twrp, backup everything and flash a new rom and reboot, next time you reboot to recovery, stock will still be there

Unfortunately I can't help you with that but I have a question did you wait 10 days or not cause my phone just refuses to cooperate with the unlock tool. Sometimes the fastboot logo just disapears and it says press any button to shutdown.
Edit: Just to clarify the flash tool does not say anything about the waiting period. If someone can help me or clarify the situation I would greatly appreciate it.
Alright so it appears to either be a USB gen limitation or just my plain ass stupidity for not installing adb drivers. Hell if I know but either way now it says how many days I have to wait so nice.
