GEM-702L - Partition Table - internal storage - 32 gig showing as 4 gig - Huawei MediaPad X2

Hello,
I just want to thank anyone in advance for taking their time in reading this and trying to assist.
My situation is that I have a Mediapad x2 702L which when I purchased it, it said it was unlocked.
I go to the recovery screen and it shows unlocked but I couldn't flash anything using adb got an error saying "adb failed (remote: command not allowed)"
so I downloaded dc-unlocker, when I used that I only had the option to FBR. well I did that several times after bricking my device and had to pay $15 each time for a flash to work.
I ended up spending like $90 on this and I was able to get my device unbricked flashed back to GEM 702L B003 stock firmware, that was the only way to get it to work.
from there I was able to get root and I attempted to use several flasher .apks to flash recovery to twrp because it would not work using adb, I would have it installed but then
after the reboot it would lose it. Now at this point My internal SD card is showing it only has 4 gig's of memory when it used to have 32gig's of memory.
if I go to terminal and check partitions I have so many
cat /proc/partitions
I am unable to take a screen shot on my phone to post either
but I was wondering if anybody has ever came across this
or could assist with helping me fix my partition table
Thank you again for all your assistance.

Factory Reset?

I'm unable to do that via dc locker gives me an error now due to the partition being off

USB debugging enabled to use ADB?

Thank you very much guys, I was able to put a copy of android 6.0 on the sd and install a local update then I was able to go back to factory settings and the issue was resolved.
Another thing I noticed is that I keep loosing TWRP?
I had it on there for like 10 minutes and flashed root and two different roms
and then when I tried to boot back into recovery it showed me the stock e-recovery
I had the X2-TWRP-3.0-2-BLACK-BLUE.img flashed for my TWRP.
any idea why I keep loosing it?

You Update Local over Stock Recovery,if you want install Twrp to Android 6.0 use this
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4bXJTX3JmdzZZTWs/view?usp=sharing
and flash via fastboot

You can flash TWRP to recovery2 partion as well: For example
fastboot flash recovery2 X2-TWRP-3.0-2-BLACK-BLUE.img
Then keep USB connected when rebooting and holding VOLUME UP key.
This starts TWRP.
If you are not USB connected, the standard recovery will start.
This allows to do factory resets and firmware updates without flashing recovery.img for your version again.
A dload will overwrite the recovery2 partition with the "e-recovery". In this case you will have to flash twrp again.
It's not normal that you have to pay more than once for DC-unlocker booloader It's the same code. Maybe you used the option "Get unlock code"
This is a option for SIM locked phone, but not to unlock bootloader.
"Get bootloader code" is the correct one. You can write down it and use it again and again if neccessary. (I never had to unlock twice)
fastboot oem unlock xxxx does the unlocking. That's all.
I would write do DC-unlocker and ask for return the money.

Relocked bootloader while Rooted, mate 9 (SuperSU 2.79).

After trying to flash Superuser-r275 and failing all the time. As a result of error called(No MD5 file were found). i found Super Su 2.79.
i flash my phone with it and then it boot and works perfectly except for one thing, i cannot open the Gallery or access the internal storage in any way. So i tried to get the phone to stock and i failed as im not able to get to the internal storage. so i reboot in recovery and then to bootloader and i put the command "fastboot reboot oem relock xxxxxxxxx" and press yes to lock bootloader and twrp will be removed. i selected yes and the phone reboot into huawei eRecovery mode and never Recover.
i still cant get access to the internal storage and i have lost twrp recovery.
there is any way to get it working again ?

Unlock bootloader, flash stock recovery, relock bootloader. I don't see how this will help you get stock back though. Or do you mean you can't access download mode again?
Anyway, relocking bootloader won't make your phone stock.
And did you decrypt before flashing SuperSU (Format Data in Twrp)?

first of all i cant access the internal storage from the operating system. or from a computer.
if i open Gallery or Music in my phone i would get a massage saying "insufficient storage free some space blah blah blah" and it take to clean memory. and if i try that through a computer it says that the devices has been disconnected or no is unavailable.
Secondly, how can i get to bootloader again? the device show up when i plug it to my computer but i can't see it in terminal when i use adb. there is a way to access the device in this situation ?

First (If you don't have Developer Settings in Settings) go to Settings - About and tap on Build Number a few times until it says "You're now a developer". Go back and tap on Developer settings and turn on usb debugging. Now see if adb wants to work. If it does use "adb reboot bootloader", else hold Vol Down + Power, release power when phone has rebooted and vibrated again. Download mode should display kind of instantly. Try if fastboot works.
For root, follow this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986
i tried the to connect the phone to my computer and hold the power down. and i got into the bootloader mode but i could not flash twrp again or flash the phone to stock.. alos i found that FRP is locked. what to do in this case guys.
Enable oem unlock in developer settings, to disable FRP LOCKED in fastboot mode
the device does not boot at all
im stuck on the eRecovery page.
ok guys i have found a way out of the problem that i was stuck at, i open the phone through a an application called DC phoenix and i could boot the device
but now i would like to get my phone back to its stock Rom. how can i do that? i tried couple of different ways but i get error when it come to install the package|_type? any idea?
Please note that dc phonix has deleted the IMEI for the device and Serial Number
now i have like IMEI:000000000000 and serial number :0123456789ABCDE
please if anyone know a way let me know guys.

i bricked my honor, is there anything i can do?

So I had an unlocked H8 with LOS. As I wanted to install EMUI, I put the proper restore Update.app into the dload folder and started Huawei's recovery. Everything went well, I formated data and wanted to install the EMUI 4.1 ROM using the same method.
Unfortunately my H8 is bootlooping and there is now way into erecovery nor any other recovery. It simply reboots on every single known vol up or down key pressing combination. The only thing I can go to is fastboot mode when holding down vol down and plugging in usb wire. But, it says frd locked and I can't install nor boot twrp. It's simply gone and reboots all the time.
Any hints? I can't even turn it off.
I wanted to give away that phone that's the reason. Last time I did it this way, I could flash the EMUI 4.1 since it's signed. But not this time.
Interesting part is, that although fastboot says frd locked, I still get the "phone unlocked" warning on every reboot. dload method isn't working, as it simply keeps rebooting.
It's my hardest brick so far I ever encountered
the same thing happened to me.....on my phone lock/unlocked frp and bootloader were tweaked for some reason(I mean that what was written wasn't the reality) so how did I fix it? I kept on to flash rollback package many times and I tried to unlock/relock bootloader again, at the end the phone let me to flash the firmware, I didn't know how but the phone allowed me to flash things throw recovery(using dload method). At the begin I only could access to erecovery and fastboot. I suppose that I broke system and data partition and while I looked/unlocked the bootloader, the wipe fixed the partition table. Sorry I'm tired and I know that my English sucks, I hope you understand what I have written.
How did you enter erecovery as this isn't working for me.... What did you flash over fastboot?
Have you tried flashing the firmware separately using adb on computer?
For this you just need to extract the Update.app using the firmware extractor for huawei. Then flash them individually using adb commands in cmd.
I can't access any state that would allow to do adb.

sorry. I'll try to explain better, however on Huawei/honor devices there are not one but two recoveries, so one is the normal recovery flashed in recovery partition, the second one is the Huawei recovery that is flashed in recovery2 partition, so if you didn't touch recovery2 partition, your erecovery is still there, now, if you press VOL+ VOL- and POWER it will reboot to recovery2 and it starts to flash something from dload in your sd card, so in my opinion you should do this things, first try this method to flash rollback package(this is the transition package from 7 to 6 and you will find it on honor site) if this is still not working try locking and unlocking again your bootloader(I hope this fix partitions of your device) then try to enter recovery and do a wipe and then boot your device, if this doesn't work flash rollback package(now it would work) and then flash an emui 4 full firmware image, always using dload method. trust me... I did the same... and it worked for me. let me know if it works for you :good:

I ran into this issue not that long ago. What you have to do is relock your bootloader using ADB. The ADB commands and instructions can be found in this thread.
Just a FYI, do not use the links to the software listed in that thread as it is a little outdated. The method still works but the software will probably not work. Just be sure to get the most recent/appropriate version of SuperSU and TWRP via their official threads (This is if you want to re-root). There are Honor 8 specific TWRP files if I remember correctly, so be sure to check around the Honor 8 forums for the correct files.
A quick summary of what I did:
1) Power your phone off and then boot into fastboot by holding Vol down + Power; as soon as it boots up, plug your phone into your combuter via your usb cord.
2) With ADB running, type:
Code:
fastboot oem relock [COLOR="LightBlue"]################[/COLOR]
NOTE: The '#' should be replaced with your unique unlock code that you obtained to unlock your bootloader.
3) Wait for it to format and reset your phone and go through the setup. BE SURE TO BYPASS all google registration; skip everything you can to get into the phone itself. If you do register, it will reactivate FRP and you'll have to start over again.
4) Turn on USB Debugging and every other setting that enables developer administrative navigation and control just to be safe. USB Debugging being the most important one, though.
5) Restart your phone and boot into fastboot again using Vol down + Power.
6) Unlock your phone again with:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock [COLOR="LightBlue"]################[/COLOR]
7) Once the command is entered, it'll reset your phone once more and - as stated before - bypass/skip all google (FRP) registration.
8) Enable developer options and USB debugging again and make sure that OEM Unlocked is checked and grayed out.
9) Reboot into fastboot mode to confirm that FRP is disabled and you should be able to install TWRP now via ADB.
@Numerics thanks. The thing is, that I can't boot anything. I can't even go into eRecovery. Nor can I flash a stock EMUI 4.1. It just boot loops all the time and I can only access fastboot.
If you can flash twrp..........Install los or other Rom ..................Go back to stock.......you must flash b360 ober adb...... because los is 7.1...............if you on b360 you can usw the rollback for emui 4.1........,..............sry for bad english
I can easily go to fastboot. But I can't flash anything. I extracted the img from the update.app but can't flash. It simply says that it's not permitted.

With my method, you don't need to flash anything. Just relock your bootloader via adb in fastboot mode and let it reset. Unless I'm not understanding your issue entirely.
@Numerics as I said, in won't boot anything as it is constantly boot looping. There is no way to access any kind of recovery nor erecovery. There is no boot into Android. The only thing accessible right now is fast boot (which is not ADB). But even in fast boot I can't do anything als operations are not permitted.
after boot looping and starting fast boot mode, I can see a "Android reboot reason" section saying:
AP_S_PANIC
data is invalid
There is still a lineageos installed on system as firmware but as I tried to get rid of it by going back to stock EMUI, I guess Huawei's rollback did something wrong and killed recovery (although I did it in the past successfully).
I tried to run HiSuite to recover my phone, but it just says, that my phone is not supported.
Speaking of this, Huawei messed up with that whole fastboot locking bull****.

No, I know ADB isn't Fastboot. What I'm trying to say is that you should be able to still run ADB via CMD on Windows when you're in fastboot mode to relock your bootloader with the directions I gave in my previous post. It'll force-restore your phone to a non-bricked/vanilla state. At least that is how I fixed mine.
Like... You can't even try using the 'fastboot oem relock ################' function via the ADB console while in fastboot?
yes boy trust us, you haven't a working OS so it is a normal thing that your phone reboot, you cannot access to recovery because some partitions are corrupted (data partition) , so these are the steps that could help you:
1) using fastboot, relock your boot loader
2)using fastboot, unlock your boot loader (partition table would be ok now, and you would be able to use load method to flash things trow stock recovery)
4)put inside your sd card \dload\update.app(use rollback package)
3) press all the buttons while your device is rebooting(do this before the blue screen logo appear), your phone is now looking for something inside your sd card
5) if the next step doesn't work do a factory reset from recovery that now would be working
6) put inside your sd card a full android 6 (emus 4) update.app and pressing all buttons it will install the firmware
7) your device now is locked and back to stock, maybe without cust partition or maybe in test mode but it is certainly alive
8) do a factory reset and reinstall the firmware
9) your phone is now ok
You don't lock the bootloader via ADB but via fastboot.
As I said, northing was restored and nothing is booting and I can't unlock my bootloader again. As I said, recovery is not working so the file in dload is not loaded and used. Which is strange.
Locking bootloader didn't do anything besides locking the bootloader. Device is still dead and I still can only access fastboot.

This is not the truth.....locking bootloader will erase all your data and fix partitions....and with fixed partition you can access to recovery ......trust me the only thing that you can do is to lock your bootloader......you can't flash anything from fastboot and boot recovery or system now...... lock your bootloader and then unlock it again, try using "fastboot OEM lock *****" or "fastboot OEM relock *******" (try cmd runned as admin, people say that this makes the difference) then unlock your device again and .....magic your recovery will boot......the same thing happened to me and I fixed my phone using this trick, however, even if you had frp unlocked it would say you that isn't possible to write anything because you broke some partition, and that's the reason why you can't boot recovery, wait one second and think: why doesn't my recovery boot?
It has nothing to do with trust. I did it and device is still a full stone brick. Nothing changed by locking the bootloader besides that now I can't unlock the bootloader anymore.

Need help restoring OS/ROM on FRD-L14

I have a Honor 8/FRD-L14 (US model) which I purchased a couple months back. I decided I wanted to root it, so I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP (version 3.1.1-1 for FRD-L14) and magisk. To cut to the chase, a lot of my apps didn't work after restoring my backup so I thought I would start over from scratch.
So I had the brilliant idea to wipe all my partitions in TWRP, thinking it would be easy to restore from a blank slate. Nope.
I have obtained a copy of B389 (FRD-L14C567B389b) firmware, both update.zip and update_full_FRD-L14_hw_usa.zip. The first is about 1.3 GB, and the latter is 683 MB..
Here's what I can do:
1. I can unlock and "oem relock" the phone, using TWRP or stock recovery as appropriate.
2. I can boot into Huawei eRecovery, but it always reports "Getting package info failed". It's done this all along.
3. I can boot into TWRP, and attempt to sideload. If I try to sideload the larger "update.zip", it fails immediately. If I try to sideload the smaller "update_full_FRD-L14_hw_usa.zip", it fails at 50%. In both cases the display shows the following:
Code:
Updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
Starting ADB sideload feature...
Installing zip file '/sideload/package.zip'

[COLOR="red"]E:unknown command [errno][/COLOR]
update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed
[COLOR="Red"]Updater process ended with ERROR: 7[/COLOR]
4. I can "fastboot flash" system SYSTEM.img, boot BOOT.img, cust CUST.img, and recovery RECOVERY.img extracted from the UPDATE.APPs mentioned earlier.
5. HiSuite restore reports that my device is not supported, whether locked or relocked.
6. I have a 128 GB SDXC, and I have attempted to load the two UPDATE.APP files from the aforementioned zip files. Either UPDATE.app, whether placed at root level or in a directory called "dload", gives the same error when trying the 3-button flash function: "Software install failed!", always at 5%.
At no point have I been able to actually boot the OS. If I do not select one of the various recovery modes, the phone never progresses past the unlocked warning message with orange text. (If the phone is locked, it warns that it has "failed verification" with red text, but still won't proceed.)
It really seems like I must simply be doing something wrong here. Apparently I have all the tools I should need available and functional. And yet, I cannot restore the phone to stock firmware.
* Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? And, does anyone know anything about whether I should be using some particular firmware version for this, and if so which one?
* Is the problem the /data directory? How do I repair/restore that?

I had written this guide a long time back. It didn't recieve any attention but holds true for your device. If you restore by rollback you can relock the bootloader with the "LOCKED" status rather than the "RELOCKED" which means your warranty won't be void.
Here's the guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/restoring-relocking-bricked-frd-l04-t3666360
The only difference is download the rollback packages from this thread:

Thanks for the response.
Is there any reason I should rollback to the version you discuss?
I looked at the backup I made before unlocking, and it was FRD-L14C567B391. So I downloaded this and have been attempting to use it.
Flashing the recovery.img and attempting to 3-button install UPDATE.app doesn't work. It does the same thing it's done all along: immediately stops at 5%.
If I attempt to sideload this I do get a new error (I'll share it when I get home).
BTW, is every android phone so fussy about this stuff? I will never consider this platform again after how unwilling it seems to do basic restore procedures -- not sure if that's just Huawei or all androids. Either way there's really no excuse -- just flash the damn software and try to run it.

Nope this is only on Huawei phones. The reason I recommend the rollback process is because it helps you restore your phone to the state you bought it (Including a "LOCKED" not "RELOCKED" bootloader). A TWRP flash will get you on the stock ROM but future OTAs might be a pain and safetynet will not pass without Magisk. Using this method you will be on the right recovery and latest firmware with everything official. Also if you have warranty this method restores it.
On phones from Google, Samsung, etc restoring is insanely simple. Huawei doesn't encourage third party development.

I messed up with Huawei Mate 9. Please Help.

Guys i have a really really big problem with mate 9 (MHA-L29). I broke both twrp and system same time (please don't ask why.)
Now, my phone don't open, just fastboot&rescue mode, useless huawei recovery (which can't format data neither install stock rom). Besides, i can't install stock rom because i tried once, and i downloaded wrong system file, and i can't format the phone now. Because of that, stock rom that i download sd card not working too. Because there is a dload file in phone.
worst of all, i can't install twrp again, because my fastboot screen tell me that: "Phone Unloced" (with red) "FRP Lock" (with green). When i try to install twrp, adb says "Failed, remote command not allowed"
Now, if can install the twrp, all my problems will be solve. There is 1 custom rom (RomAur) and 1 system backup.
How can i install twrp with this situation?
Please someone help me i spend 2 days and still nothing! How can i open this phone? Stock rom, with/without root, custom rom whatever, just tell me how can i open this phone
up
You get that command when trying to flash the wrong recovery partition, was your room nougat or Oreo based?? If nougat it's fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and Oreo fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img I think you are trying to flash the wrong partition

With FRP lock you'll have to use DC-Phoenix.
But it costs €19 (For 3 days usage).
Simply put you can bypass FRP with it by force closing DC-Phoenix when it has activated the backdoor, after this you can flash anything from fastboot (until you reboot).
So you could use it to flash back TWRP.
Or you can use it to install stock firmware

Guys i have a really really big problem with mate 9 (MHA-L29). I broke both twrp and system same time (please don't ask why.)
Now, my phone don't open, just fastboot&rescue mode, useless huawei recovery (which can't format data neither install stock rom). Besides, i can't install stock rom because i tried once, and i downloaded wrong system file, and i can't format the phone now. Because of that, stock rom that i download sd card not working too. Because there is a dload file in phone.
worst of all, i can't install twrp again, because my fastboot screen tell me that: "Phone Unloced" (with red) "FRP Lock" (with green). When i try to install twrp, adb says "Failed, remote command not allowed"

During startup the menu there is a option to go in Huawei e-recovery, when you are at the start up menu hold volume up for about 5 second.

Special Request
Hey ante . Is it possible to help me ? I rooted my phone 2 days back and messed it up while downloading a framework app which ended me up in a bootloop. I have been reading and following your posts of you helping others. I don't really get the steps what I should follow.
My phone is unlocked. FRP shows Unlock.
Rooted on oreo and I tried e-recovery and fastboot steps you mentioned in other threads using kernel and ramdisk etc. ( After this I have lost access to TWRP and I am simply getting EMUI Screen with options for Factory Data Reset and Wipe Cache Partition. I don't know where it is going to lead me next :-/.
Also downloaded Huawei Extractor and tried to extracted specific files but the firmware file I have doesn't have CUST.img file.
Also the site link you mentioned for download firmware is in some other language and I am unable to search for my firmware.
I also tried the placing update file in the dload on my sd card but fails at 5%. The file was correct and I am sure I did'n download the wrong firmware.
Currently it shows this on the fastboot screen.
Andorid reboot reason
: AP_S_ABNORMAL 32
NA
Just don't know what I should be doing ? PLEASE HELP BRO?

What's your firmware now?
You can get that info in Fastboot using
Code:
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot oem get-build-number
Since your recovery and fastboot still functions you probably will only need to use HWOTA to get back to stock.
It can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
But post your cust/build before proceeding.
Also cust.img is found in UPDATE.APP in the hw data zip.
Problem Solved - Somewhat
Hey ante. Thanks for the promt reply. I got it solved by using CHIMERA tool.
Would like to suggest others also stuck with same issue to use CHIMERA.
Note - It is a paid tool and 100% legit and it can help with all problems related to FRP, Bootloader Lock / Unlock & also flashes back to factory firmware.
However what I am facing now I have flashed another version of firmware which isn't my region and some features of my phone like fingerprint scanner and other things are not working but phone is back to live. So Im glad and looking forward to searching for clean Oreo Firmware for my region to flash using CHIMERA Again.
Also, the sick and stupid part of it. I went to the service center and a person non-technical told me straight that you lost your device and it's of no use now. We cannot fix such issues 99% but I'll still ask my team and let you know after 3 days.
Thank God I didn give them and wasted my time and money.
As soon as I returned, I followed up to things and got it done myself. :good:
Anybody can possibly suggest a official firmware Oreo EMUI for Middle East Region!? If not which one can be flashed instead and where to download from?

Help me fix my Honor 6X bricked with HWOTA8 [10$ reward for the winner]

Hey yall,
so I finally managed to successfully brick my honor :laugh:
Everything was pretty much fine, I was messing with trying different ROMs. Then I used the "Change location" option in HWOTA8 (it probably flashed some extra files) and my systems "erecovery" or something likely essential "dissappeared".
Fastboot works, I tried flashing 'system' and recovery images with no success. It won't accept TWRP or any other image as I get "partition size get error"
When I try to boot into recovery or system, I get the error
Error Mode message: Func no 11 [recovery image], Error NO 2 [load failed]
I tried dload methods with (B132, B340 and some other versions, I get the Error Mode anyway)
What I think is the core of the problem could be one of following:
boot.img,
erecovery
frp
I get a boot loop no matter what I do.
The phone model is BLN-L22 indian (debranded from BLN-L21) and the last flashed ROM was Oreo
The FRP and Bootloader are unlocked.
I think it could work if I'd flash every partition, but it doesn't seem to work with images I got from "update.app"
Could you recommend me some repair/flashing tools/flashing files?
Any help in the investigation is greatly appreciated
Update: Just bought DC Phoneix
Now I managed able to boot into the "update via usb" screen. (with the help of DC Phoneix)
I can access adb, altho I cannot use adb shell, because it cannot access /bin/sh
Does having access to adb give me any advantage?
Solved using this <3. Now I'm at android 4
