Hi,
how can i relock the Bootloader from the Mate 7?
Is it possible? I want to sell it and it would be nice if the new owner can do OTAs.

You do not need to relock your bootloader to receive OTA ..
Ok thank u for the answer. so i need only the stock recovery? Or am i wrong?

You need recovery compatible with rom came from..
For example ; if u are on 127 and u wanna go back to 120 u need to flash 120 recovery first .. then flash 120 ROM
Do I need stock recovery to CHECK if updates are available?

Well, you can manually check it will pops up once huawei sends OTA ..
u can have CWM but u wont be able to upgrade.. you will need stock recovery for update OTA..
to be honest custom recovery is technically useless for us bcos no custom roms are avail. it just good for rooting.. nothing else..
System knows when phone has been rooted ... here below

Thanks for the information (and pic). Will flash stock recovery back only when/if there are updates.
CWR will be useful if we (like me) do something stupid and then restoring from backup.
a lot of users are having this problem and if you want to receive an OTA you have to flash the stock unrooted firmware that will cause lose of data.
this guide will show you how to receive OTA again without losing your stuff
This works on GT-I9500 ONLY! (Lollipop 5.0.1 Recovery)
This also should work on any other model, but you have to replace the recovery with your model!
Steps:
1- Go to SuperSU and scroll down to "Full unroot" then reboot.
2- Download This file to PC and extract it.
3- Go to download mode by pressing the power key + home key + volume down key at the same time, then press volume up.
4- Flash the file via Odin (AP) or (PDA)
go to check the system status, you will find it Official
you can now receive OTA.
Q&A:
What is OTA (Over The Air)? Its an update which you can receive over wifi or mobile data.
What do i get from OTA? Well, if you root your device you wont be able to receive an update again, unless from flashing firmware via Odin.
- Why im still on custom status? Because you modified your system.
- What kind of modifying? Installing busybox, editing or deleting or changing any app or file system.
and some times xposed.
- How do i restore the old app? You can restore them by flashing firmware or by restoring Nandroid backup.
- Then what is the use of your guide? Well my guide helps in first place the rooted not the modded onces.
and always do Nandroid of the original system apps+data
you are still having your apps, data, pics, vids, etc...
you can root again at anytime.
check my thread for rooting if you want
im not responsible for any bricks
thank you...

Your welcome!
Hi there,
Thanks for the guide, just thinking you may want to say what option in Odin to put the file and what OTA stands for, for the noobs.
Just a thought.

At some point the update maybe canceled, because the update checks for the apps before the installation, always do a backup of your phone then remove what you want, after you want to update just restore the system folder from the backup

If you can see the stock recovery then check the SuperSU app again and maybe you are having a custom kernel

So i need to unroot it as well ? Anyway flashed via odin original stock russian lollipop rom just to check for any update and the flashed twrp and rooted it back. Just that it takes 10 mins or more to do all this. Thought your small flash file would work .

Move to Q/A section .
U cant install recovery like that , u have to be at 4.4 then root it , and flash recovery , then flash Lolipop rom . Only like that u will be able to go in recovery and flash what ever u like . Search forum before posting . But first of all u must flash KDZ file to your phone to get rid of bootloop .

thanks, friend. perfectly ease, in 2 minutes recovery on English installed...
Now I canbackup and be free in customization. But, not too many things to try. My opinion is that we badly need cm 12 to extend life of this mighty and great phone.
thanks again, later I will install your 20d rom but not expect much new... And probably xposed...

Thank you vangeodee, I have a couple of questions:
1- Will this process wipe all my data and external apps , so I have to back up first ?
2- Suppose I could install the flash KDZ, can I unroot then or it will install the old ROM from the begining ?

Depends, you can either do a normal flash of your current ROM or you could do a CSE flash that would wipe everything.
Here's a rundown:
1.) Normal Flash - flashes stock stuff on top of whatever is running on your phone at the moment. I did this after I installed MLKernel which, unfortunately broke my WiFi and Camera so I had to flash back to stock. I tried this option first because I didn't want to redownload/install everything. Surely enough, I restored stock kernel and got unrooted, but the WiFi and Camera were still broken.
So if you're looking to just remove root and not lose anything, this is what you'd want to choose. Look for the correct KDZ for the current stock ROM you are on. Flash it wrong, and I can't guarantee anything.
2.) CSE Flash - nothing much to write about. Cleans the entire 16/32GB of your internal. that includes apps, files, pictures, documents or anything really that's stored on internal storage. If you've got Titanium backups in internal, well kiss those goodbye after CSE flash.
Or you can direct in Superuser app unroot.

Hi, I'm sorry for the bad language because I'm not english and I'm sorry if I wrong section. I've tried to install a custom recovery on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060). I've tried to install it by odin or by some apps, but I can't use the custom recovery mode! When I press the combination of Volum Up + Power + Home it goes in default recovery mode, so I can't install a file zip of a CyanogenMode. I've tried to go in custom recovery mode by some apps (ROM manager, TWRP manager..) but the app crashes. Any help, please?

Once you installed the recovery you have to enter it right away before booting for the first time or the stock recovery will overwrite it which is why your getting the stock recovery .

First of all see if a normal reboot fixes this.
If not.
In phone settings ->about phone
See if you have
1)baseband
2)imei
(Don't list them here just check if you have them)
Most probably this could be a problem with the ROM and can be fixed by flashing baseband.zip that you'll get from the same site you got the ROM.

This is the link where I got the ROM, but I don't find Baseband.zip
Well try another ROM ,its the one way to fix this.
Another would be to flash your imei ,you can find it in your phones case ,the tool would be sn write tool if your phone has mediatek (don't know/not familiar with other chipset family)
Plus the ROM you gave the link for is buggy and not in development.so you should try another ROM or if there isn't one use stock.
Incoming calls wont work either defenatly not a ROM to use as a daily driver

No what I meant by the stock ROM was the official ROM released for your phone(as in the condition your phone was at the time you bought it)
As for ril ,it has relation to sim but I'm not sure whether
