I don't know if it has been discuss , or have been mentioned anywhere before. But I was wondering if it's possible to update by the Dload method from Gem 702L b203 to Gem 703L B212, without root or TWRP.
Have anyone tried or experiment this ?
We have no full version of b212. Just incremental update, which requires b112 or b211.
And even if you do this, there is no playstore on it.
But you can simply install KangVIP over b203, but this requires TWRP.
My device: Mediapad X2 GEM 701->703 B212 KangVIP (AJ mod)
Playstore isn't the biggest problem, I was thinking about the compatibility of kernel drive and possibility of hardware issues. Dloading a full version of B211 or 112 on Gem 702L B203 is the question and then update to B212, is this even possible at all ?
No you can't dload b112 if you are already on 203. Rebrand to 212 via KangVIP and then do the downgrade to 5.11 via flashing boot system, data and recovery of b112 then wipe cache and dalvic. Install universal cyst b112. Then boot and do full dload of b112. Then do dload of B212 update.zip via selection incremental update.

Hi - I've also got a 702L & would like the updates of the 703L - can I flash my ROM with 703L & then start updating ??
Many thanks
Paul
Still searching on this, dont think there are many using 702L on xda!
I have the same problem... have 702l and want flash 703l...
Try flashing it and report back. You can flash it through fastboot after unlocking your bootloader.
Still waiting to unlock the bootloader - at least another week to wait, maybe 10 days...

If I must come back to Stock recovery , How Do I get it ?
You can use the Huawei update extractor, extract the RECOVERY.IMG and flash it via fastboot.

It is interesting matter form me too - I am unlocked and rooted, but rooting means only installing SuperSU using custom recovery. Is it enough to delete SuperSu and flash back stock recovery to be able to OTA update in future?

Your link to recovery is not functional for me so I'm posting my link to kangvip TWRP recovery pack. Inside you can find two recoveries: custom and STOCK, if you want to go back - it is file RECOVERY_HW.img.
Add the latest Firmware B110 and B111
Heya, i'm wanting to root my Mate 9 pro, but before I do I'd like to know if it is possible at this point to fully unroot, lock the bootloader and restore the stock recovery, etc.. Leaving the phone in the state it was when I first booted it.
thanks!

It is possible, if exists FullOTA ROM of your model.
Go to hwmt.ru and search for ROM
Then you need download update.zip
Extract update.app from it
Extract from update.app two files: boot.img and recovery.img
Then flash via fastboot
Sorry, but just flashing boot and recovery.img doesn't restore stock rom. On other Huawei devices we were able to start offline dload with update.app.
But we don't have a offline update for the European and US model. Only for chinese Al00 and 636.
Dload will fail on files, which are made for online auhentification, because they need a key which is not present on offline dload.
If someone has sucess on other update packages, you are welcome to post it here.
To unroot you must remove superuser and flash recovery.img. You should not have changed branding.
Then start firmware finder and select option update via system update. Then install the proxy app and do the setting.
If there is a full packet for your model in the list then try it.
On reboot you would get a message if it is authenticated or not.
A regular update will also close bootloader.

So if I dont install a custom rom, is it then enough to Remove superuser, flash recovery.img and then update via system update? What if my phone is already running the latest version of EMUI available in my region?
I have successfully downgraded via firmware finder proxy my C432 device to full version B138 and then took OTA via normal system update to 156.

Yeah. I confirm that, but in simplest case, when you got Root and want stock back, it is enough to flash boot and recovery to get stock.
If you understand what are you doing, you can return without taking long road
Yes, but this does not close the bootloader whereas an official update does this. So you get also rid of the message on boot.

Yep. Have to relock bootloader manually (a few minutes).
Anyway, your advice is safest.
Hey guys,
I have a MediaPad X2 (GEM-701L) and would like to update it to the latest KingVIP rom. I found that update guide from @audioralf but there is so much info and its not very well structured unfortunately, so I was wondering if someone could break it down in a "tl:dr" way for me please.
I already unlocked the bootloader with DC-Unlocker and have TWRP for 5.0 installed.
The current version is the b003.
What is the current recommended method to upgrade to KingVIP b212?
No need to list every single step (im a pro or at least advanced android modder) but a rough breakdown would be cool.
That thread from "AJ" some people refer to unfortunately is removed where he expains the universal cust thing and the downloads seem to be down as well.. ?
Sorry, but I have posted the current steps in later posts. You have not fond it, so here they are in short
-do factory reset from EMUI
-fastboot flash recovery.img for B003 back
-then dload the "downgrade script" from EMUI menu as "full update
-Then install the B202 full package (DEMO)
-install TWRP for Android 6.0 via adb
Start TWRP and install the KANGVIP 212 V2
I have updated the guide

Thanks man!
Here is (in short as audioralf) the way I do advice. Assuming you have a 701L with its original rom, and you have original stock recovery on recovery1 (recovery1 untouched!), and you have flashed android 6 TWRP recovery on recovery 2 (with adb command "fastboot flash recovery2 xxxx.img")
- do factory reset from EMUI
- download Huawei Taiwan official GEM-702LC158B203CUSTC158D001_DEMO rom
- use this file to do an official dload update (force it by booting with 3 buttons pressed, to be sure)
You will already be on a official android 6 rom, maybe enough fo you? But if Kangvip slim B212 V2 needed (or B202 simply international), juste reboot in recovery with USB pluged (the recovery2 will boot, meaning TWRP Recovery). And install from TWRP one of those custom rom .zip file!
For a more complete guide (for less advanced users), use audioralf recent tutorial :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/me...01-702-703-t3293795/post64819054#post64819054
just use 702LC158B203CUSTC158D001_DEMO rom instead of: downgrade script + B202-DEMO
Sorry but without the 'Downgrade script' this will not work on 701 devices. Maybe on 702 you can skip this step.

702LC158B203CUSTC158D001_DEMO definitly DO install itself directly on 701L device with its original ROM. This has been done several times, and reported also here on xda
Someone reported this would works. For this I tested it 3 times on 3 different devices and it failed in all cases. After this I had problems to start the common process.
It's just one minute for the downgrade script.
So you are on the safe side to run it first.

Hi.
I was wondering if it possible to just "update" from a 702L B205 to a 703L B206 firmware ?
Yes, if you install Aj's rom for 703 will be 'converted' because of the cust files. No need of changing oem.info

Sorry I didn't get what you mean, further explanation please
Just flash TWRP install lastet KangVIP b211.
There were former versions with 206, but the numbering for 703 is different to 702.
On 703 devices the newest version is 202 v2 form March 2017. B203 is from Dec 2016
For 703 the latest version is 212 October 2016. But it is no more features than b202. For 702.
So 206'for.703 is not better than three new 202 for 702.
I hope I have successfully confused you, but this is chinese logic.

First of all, flashing is the name of a firmware change, so you'll have to flash

There is no 702L B205 firlwar. Maybe your device is a 702L,but your firmware is a 703L one? Please verify in settings/about your phone. You can copy the screenshot here.
Anyway, if you own a 702L device, the last and more advanced and official firmware is indeed 702L B202 from march 2017 as @audioralf wrote (he made a mistake, writting for 703 devices, instead of 702 devices, he'll correct it I guess).
To install it and always find best firmware for your device, just use huawei firmware finder app:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
More easily, you can download 702L B203 from december 2016 here:
http://consumer.huawei.com/tw/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=92804&key4=GEM-702LC158B203
(please save as much data and settings as you can before flashing)
But push notifications and gps issue are not fixed as in B202 from march 2017.
Note that unlocking your bootloader is recommanded before any flash
Ahh I see, its my bad, what I ment was 702L B005 to 703L B006.
I have a Huawei mediapad x2 gem-701l that I upgraded it to gem-703l-b109. Everything is ok and I wanted to upgrade it to B2?? (Marshmallow). I downloaded some of the firmware in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/general/mediapad-x2-firmware-702l-703l-t3168925
like b205 but it was incremental update.zip that I couldn't use it via dload method.
I saw this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/me...w-to-update-b112-to-b209-android-6-0-t3360279
with 2 link for gem-703l-b209 but those links didn't work too.
Is there any real link to 703L-B2?? (Marshmallow) firmware with dload folder?
** As your device has already been turned into a 703L softwarely, you can try to dload install last ofifcial complete rom for 703L:
