hello all, if someone can point me into the right direction. anyway my brother gave me his mediapad x2, he had it for about 1 year, and he did a reset a hard reset i think, and now when you reboot the phone tablet, its says no os installed. i was told that the os is removed and need to be flash back on. where is the steps to reinstalled back the stock rom or custom rom so that i can have root access. i looked at youtube but got not much help and i come to you all to please assist me in this matter. hope to hear from you soon.
This depends on the version which was installed before on the device. If he wiped the firmware, he must have installed a custom recovery and perhaps rooted and installed a custom Rom. It's important to know if he had installed 5.1.1 or higher, because if you try to install a 5.0 version on a upgraded device, it will stop the charging battery.
Check if it's unlocked, by booting with usb connection ahs holding volume down key.
Check if it's launching TWRP if use is not connected and you press vol up key on boot.
If you can start TWRP tap on advanced file manager and check if there is a dload folder on internal sd with a file inside. Rename the file update.app which is inside, to anything else, or delete
Put the downgrade script to external sd card in a folder named dload.
Start the device while holding vol up and down.
Then exchange the files inside external dload folder with the 4 files which come with b202 zip file which you find in our forum.
Then do the update again while starting with vol up and down key.
My device: 701->703 B211 KangVIP AJ Xposed
sd card not reading
hello there, thank you very much for the help, i was able to reflash using twrp and now i have build version kangvip slim b212 android version 6.0. i am able to put my sim card from att inside it and it works with text, email, pictures everything. but here is where the problem lies, since it had 2 sim card slots i made a mistake and put my sim card into my sd card slot, and had a hell of a time removing it. now my sd card slot is not working. the sim card slot is working fine, just the top sd card slot not working, maybe i messed up a pin on the sd card socket, or something. is there anyone on this site that repair sd card sockets, or is there a way for me to get help with the sd card socket. i really dont want to put it on ebay to sell it because the sd card now does not want to work. if you can point me again in the right spot that will be appreciated once more. thank you very much. i seen on youtube where you can open up the phone and replace the sd card socket, a 3 dollar part, but i am not an expert in soder and before i do that i would rather just sell the phone, its unlocked, so hope you can help. oh yeah the phone is a huawei mediapad x2 gold color, with 32 gb unlocked and has a scratch proof screen on front. hope that helps in finding a solution

Hello people.
I cant access my sd card. I pulled the batery out and put it in afterwards, and after that, the phone doesnt recognize it.
Im running stock 4.0.4 version and when I go to storage, it says that SD Card is unavaible. I cant mount it or anything.
The sd card works, because the card worked when I've put in other Desire S (rooted, cm11).
I've read a lot on the Internet but most of the questions were for rooted devices.
Any tips? Should I put the phone in rooted desire s and backup files on sd and format it in fat32 and then put it back? Should it work?
Or what should I do? I dont wanna root the phone becuase I have 1 month warranty left. I just wanted to know is it possible to fix it without going in the store.
Big thanks

I would take out the card and power cycle the device (full reboot) then one the device has powered on insert the sdcard and see if the is detects it. When powering back on you can keep the battery pinched Into the device with your finger and you won't power off when you have the flap lifted up

Hello all.
I am using Mate 7 MT7-L09. Current fw version is B137SP11.
Having battery problems. It can't last more than one and a half day on moderate usage.
Guess it's a known fw issue.
Anyways I can't install official roms either. I get software install
failed error everytime I try.
I unlocked the phone. It says device unlocked.
The thing I really do not understand: why can't I even install
official roms? I can't downgrade. Stucked with default
rom. What else do I need to do? Do I have to root my phone to
install even official roms?
I am not an expert on root or unlocking.
Therefore English please
Thanks!
Is actually simple, you can change the FW as you like, including back. Get yourself the right, unzip, the dload Update.app then comes in a folder named. This device again. Now in Settings -Update, bottom menu, select internally. Already it flashes.
The important thing must be the Stock Recovery socks. The required neither root nor an open bootloader.

Thanks for the reply but done all of these. Still the same.
Tried with three-button way as well. I believe my device has a regional lock.
Did you try with de dload/update.app in the INTERNAL memory, and not in the Sd Card, with my first mate 7 i have sometimes the same problem, so i did it in the internal memory (and remove external SD).
you say it failed, can you give us the error message you have ?
if not can you send me the recovery_log file so i can see by myself (you can find it in /splash2/recovery_log with explorer like Solid exporer or es file explorer).

Well, tried your suggestion as well. Still no luck. Used internal memory.
It can't find the Update.app. Says "there is no Update.app" and "Software install failed" right after.
When I do it through SD card, it does find the Update.app but gives the same error.
About that recovery log, the file is empty. It's 0 bytes. Opened it via notepad. It was empty.
Is that normal?
Hi. Are you sure you have the right firmware for your phone? Maybe you could try to re-download it again. What fw was before b137?
I downgraded and upgraded with no problem from b125 to b120 and back to b125 - but for MT7-TL10
I used the normal upgrade method. The update file must be in "dload" folder on micro sd card.
Normal upgrade
Step 1. A MICRO SD card of 4GB or more should be available. The MICRO SD card made by Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax is recommended.
Step 2. Format the MICRO SD card (This operation is optional).
Step 3. Make sure that there is an UPDATE.APP under the dload. Copy the Main package of dload in PC to dload of SD card.
Step 4. Insert the MICRO SD card into the handset and power on. After entering the home screen, press menu key to choose Settings->Updater->Menu->Local
upgrade->Confirm->Upgrade to start the upgrade.
Notices:
1. Upgrade will erase the user data, please backup your data before upgrade.
2. Ensure that the power is at least 15% left when upgrading.
Force upgrade
Step 1. A MICRO SD card of 4GB or more should be available. The MICRO SD card 2015-2-25 Page 5, Total7 made by Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax is recommended.
Step 2. Format the MICRO SD card (This operation is optional).
Step 3. Make sure that there is an UPDATE.APP under the dload. Copy the Main package of dload in PC to dload of SD card.
Step 4. Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the MICRO SD card into the handset. Pressing the VOLUME UP key and VOLUME DOWN key, then press
the POWER key to power on the phone, and VOLUME UP key and VOLUME DOWN key should be pressed more than 10 seconds, then enter the Software Upgrade Mode.
Did you flash a custom recovery?
If you did, flash the stock recovery and you're device will succeed in doing EMUI updates again.

Thank you for your help but my phone seems to have multiple regional locks that prevent device from getting FWs not released for my country.
B137SP11 is awful. Battery life it so short that ultra saving mode gives only 30 hours.
On top of that there is this: late notifications. Plus, I have a red dead pixel on the screen. Such a shame. This is going to be my last Huawei product.

Ouch, bad to hear about that red dead pixel :\
The only thing i suggest you could do, is flashing cyanogenmod 11 (and 12.1 when it gets released) because that might fix the late notifications.
I even prefer CM11 over Emui.. even tho you can't use the fingerprint scanner, it's worth trying.

I had the same problem with b125, only 30 hours on ultra ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/battery-ultra-power-saving-mode-t3074893) and I downgraded to b120.
The phone it's great, to bad you not have that good experience with it...
You can't go to replace with another mate 7 to the store where you purchased, if you have an red dead pixel?
I've had my Idol 3 for a couple of weeks now and I just love it . . . so do my 'green' friends! However . . .
My Idol 3 got a major upgrade today, and now the phone won't permit mounting of the SD card . . . home of many apps!
The option under Settings/Storage is not greyed out, it's just that when I tap 'Mount SD card' nothing happens. I'm also getting a continuous notice, i.e. "SD card safe to remove".
The card was not removed either before or after the upgrade, but since I have had the above problem I have done reboots, restarts and hard reboots, and and have removed and replaced the card a couple of times . . . . I'm at a loss on this one!
Does anyone have any suggestions that will help me get the SD card mounted please?
Many thanks!
Just maybe a very strange coincidence here. I have been using the same 32gb sd card since I bought this phone and never had a single issue with the card or the phone (related to the sd card). This morning I checked to see if there was an update, I did not download or install it (since I'm rooted) but man ever since that moment I have been having f-ed up sd card issues. The same types of problems with it randomly unmounting the card and telling me the card is safe to remove, finding the card unmounted and touching the Mount button does nothing and just now I removed the card and my Chromebook is asking if I want to format it... WTF?
All this makes me wonder if Alcatel secretly installed some updates in the background today even though I did not intend for a system update. Hmmm.
I had similar issues with a sandisk microsd.....with it randomly losing everything on the sd....I switched to a samsung microsd and the issue went away so I think it's just very picky with the cards and you should try different manufacturers...also fat32 seemed more reliable than exfat. Samsung and Adata are two I had good results with outside sandisk which I previously considered the gold standard.
Thanks folks.
At this time I don't think it's an SD card issue unless the update corrupted it.
I mean, it was fine before the upgrade guvnor!

Backup the data to pc...format the card in the phone...copy the data back.
Same happened to me on the first OTA update and on this OTA update. I took my SD card out, put in a computer, copied all my files to a desktop folder, re-formatted the SD card, moved all my files from the desktop back on to the SD card once the format was complete and the phone mounted the card no problem. Total PITA and will consume about an hour and a half of your time to do all this. Not sure why this keeps happening on OTA updates, but next time, if Alcatel releases another OTA update, move all your apps back to the phone and remove your SD card prior to initiating an update. Only think I can think of?
Thanks both. Formatting is apparently the only way to go except that my computer wouldn't read the card via the phone.
Soooooo, I have mounted the micro SD in an adapter, and the card is currently being copied to my computer.
I'll let you know how that goes after I've done the format and copied things back.
Maybe just removing the SD card prior to an upgrade will prevent corruptions, or do you think that the upgrade 'needs' the SD card in place?

As the external sd is considered "optional" there is no reason you can't pull it prior to doing an upgrade to eliminate the chance of it getting corrupted.
If you have TWRP flashed and your situation is like mine was you'd find IT could read the card just fine and adb access while in TWRP copied off the data for me so seems related to the actual rom.
The solution
As some of you may have expected, and suggested, I was able to resolve my issue by . . .
1 Backing up the data on the SD card
2 Formatting the SD card
3 Copying my data back to the SD card
However, the .android_secure folder on the SD card was 'locked' by the phone, so I removed it and using Windows Explorer I copied the contents - all my apps that had been moved to the SD card - manually.
If you go this route yourself, your 'favorites' that you dragged to the home screen will be missing, so you'll have to re-do that process. It only takes a matter of minutes.
I want to thank those of you who responded with suggestions that pushed me all the way to the top of my 'success' mountain. The view is great!
Now if only the upgrade hadn't corrupted my SD card in the first place. Grrrrrr!
However, for those that don't realize it, the Idol 3 is a terrific phone that is soon to increase in popularity and recognition.

Hi fellows, sorry to bother you i always try to manage to solve all problems on my own (researching) but there no info on the subject.
A bit of history: im the happy owner of an MT7-L09 since last month. I bought it with a Sandisk Ultra 32gb micro sd class10. I've been using the phone without any problems. Didnt even tried to root it.
What i actually did was to set up the SD card as a the default memory location. I dont actually really know what this does apart from saving all media in the SD (mainly google play music, photos and videos i shoot with the camera, some big obb files, etc).
Last week i downloaded oficial Lollipop 5.1.1 release and did a manual update. All good, i kept on using it without any problems (aside from considerably lower battery life) for a couple of days.
Then i decided to gain root access. I followed this steps after googling for help.
I gained root access but after this, it keeps looping between "sd card safe to remove" and "preparing sd card" as long as my sd card is in its slot.
After that i:
Got SD card out, used a PC to backup contents (no damages), gave it a quick format in windows fat32, then format in android. PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE
Then i went back to the pc and gave the card a slow full fat32 format, then format again in andoird. PROBLEM STILL HERE
I also recently bought an action cam with the same SD model. Got that one out and placed it straight into the phone replacing the other. SAME TYPE of SD HERE, SAME MODEL. PROBLEM PERSISTS.
I think it might be related to flashing a recovery or something like that while i had my sd card as default memory location. I really dont know what to do to ger it read any of my SD cards again.
Shall i flash original kit kat firmware again? maybe 5.1.1 again and loose root access? I couldnt find any information regarding this issue rather than try another SD card which i already did (the problem surfaced after the process of gaining root access).
Any clues?
Thaks

I just started having this problem today. I have been on the official 5.1.1 since it launched and never came across any issue until this morning. I never ever rooted or flashed anything custom and the boot loader is still locked.
As of today I started having this issue, looping between "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" however I am able to access the SD Card and intervals. The SD Card works perfectly fine on any other device.
One thing I changed recently (2 days ago) is the default memory location, I set it to SD Card, so I am going to revert that setting back to Internal Memory and see if it fixes the issue. Thanks for the tip
If anyone else has come across this issue and/or knows how to fix it please help
UPDATE: I tried reverting the default location setting back to "Internal storage" and found that the setting had already reverted back automatically, presumably because the SD Card is not always available So no luck with that. I am starting to suspect it's a hardware issue!
UPDATE 2: I left the SD Card in the device and connected it to the PC in order to take a backup using HiSuite. As soon as I plugged it in the error stopped cropping up. I finished the backup, unplugged the USB and so far the "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" did not show up again. It's been over an hour now. Yesterday I plugged in the device to my PC in order to copy some pictures so something may have happened at that point I'm suspecting.

I got this problem today after reflashing stock recovery.
It disappears after remove and reinsert sd card, but after a reboot problem was still there.
Now I solved checking debug usb setting, because after recovery flash it has been disabled itself.
I have this problem but with the USB storage device, I bought a new one which has two plugs, one is usb the other is micro, to transfer from laptop to phone without cables. It works on PC, it works on my husband's Huawei Mate 7, but just loops on mine. Other USB storage work fine on my phone with cable, but this new one just loops "preparing to connect" and " USB removed", even when trying to connect with cable.
All software is up to date, no modifications have been made.
Any simple ideas would be appreciated (I'm not into flashing/rooting etc!)
I've run into a rather interesting issue with my FRD-L04. My bootloader is unlocked and I'm running stock B385 with TWRP. No matter what I seem to do, the phone doesn't pick up any of the multiple SD cards I have.
EDIT: I've had a breakthrough!
The SD card appears to function ONLY IF the SIM card isn't in the tray. What on earth?
My SIM card was manually cut down from a full size one but I didn't think it would cause any problems. If I take out the SIM card and put the tray in with just an SD, it reads it completely.
I think this might have something to do with my SIM card being really old?

I was previously testing an early version of RROS on the phone but quickly made my way back to stock nougat, but somewhere in the process my SD card slot may have lost functionality. I don't think I'm able to run the marshmallow rollback process if my SD card isn't detected. TWRP doesn't let me mount any of the cards I have.
I've tried using the DLoad method for the rollback package and it failed at 5%. I don't think it detects the card at all.
Is there something I can try to do to make the SD card slot work again? I'm formatting my SD cards in the appropriate format (Fat32). I have a 16GB Lexar 300x and a 2GB MicroSD card from Samsung, neither work.

That is weird, try to format them with your computer and use exfat. See if that does anything :angel: do slow format as well if you have Windows. Not quick format.

You are also able to run the roll back packages if you make a dload folder in the root of your honor internal storage. :victory:

The cards work in every other device except this Honor 8. It may have started happening when I switched from B360 to RROS and then back again, but I don't think I've ever seen them work on the phone, even with EMUI 4.1. I get no prompts or information in the files manager, just 32GB internal storage.

If you never have seen it work I would take it to a service center and have them look at the sd card reader :/ maybe someone with more experience than me with this matter could help you on the forms if you don't want to do that.

If the update process in recovery even reaches 5% it means the phone detects the card with dload inside it. I'd recommend u to try and rollback and see.

I've partially figured it out - It's clearly something to do with my SIM card. The phone will 100% recognize any SD card as long as the SIM is out, if the SIM is inserted it immediately disconnects the SD card.
My SIM card has storage on it for contacts because it's from around 2008 or 9. Should I try getting a new sim card and see if that fixes the problem?

May be you should Service centre. It may be hardware issue now but may worsen later so better to send it now or ask for a refund if it is still less than 10-15 days of purchase

EDIT: I just reflashed the stock recovery from B360 via fastboot, and then ran the OTA for B388. The "quick update" failed so I chose "download full package" during the install as it worked with my previous update from B360 to B385.
It installed, and when the phone rebooted, my bootloader was relocked. It relocked itself via the OTA.
This also fixed the SD card issue.
I don't even know how that works. I should lock the thread somehow I suppose!
If you have any further issues. I'd recommend that your contact Honor directly as they should be able to help you resolve your issue quite easily.

Glad to know this fixed for you. Enjoy.
9 month is still within warranty amd you can check with SC for sure for next 3 months
