Need update for 701L.

Hello, All.
I am the new owner of a Mediapad X2 GEM-701L which i have unlocked and rooted.
The only issue is this unit seems to be on B001 (Android 5.0).
I have looked through the threads and most of them are ROMs for 702L/703L. I cant find anything for 701L.
Can i flash a rom from the others on mine?
Android version 5.0 has lots of bugs and the updater doesnt find any new version for me.
What to do ?

i am at a loss here and i figure my only option is to change the device model # to a 703L that way i can force an update.
is this the only way?

The GEM 703L has more support, so if you can change to this one it would be a good elecction.

what are the differences in the 3 models anyway? I realize one model has 32G storage and 3Gig ram.i believe thats the 703?
the one i have is 2/16

The main difference amongst the 3 models is the 4G/LTE band support. The URL below gives you the details under CONNECTIVITY section

well i changed everything in the build.prop file that had the number 701 to 703 and did check for update and it said no update.
i even used HiSuite to check for updates. Nothing.
I am now wondering, if i put KangRom and flash with that will it work?

So far Huawei only focused on ROM development and upgrades for the 703.
Some 702 owners in this forum including myself had no issues flashing the 703 stock ROMs up to B109 (starting B106 it is Android 5.1.1) but with the limitation of not being able to switch SIM for the 4/3G. Other than this, the Android 5.1.1 works beautifully for me on my 702 and I prefer to stay on 5.1.1
I've not seen any 701 owner done the same so far.
If you want to try at your own risk below is a good detailed method by "eenap"

actually i saw that thread ...
at this point i am rather frustrated cause i dont want to end up with a bricked device.
if i had known this would be so much drama i would have bought a galaxy tab. (even though the mediapad is so nicer).
my only problem(s) right now is this:
in the thread you referenced to he has version above mine already installed. i have b001 which i assume is the lowest.
then
if i can find the original firmware just in-case i screw things over i can restore.

Original ROM hosted here including 701
https://yadi.sk/d/5YI63uiAhz5UD/Rom/Original
But the 701 stock ROM listed above is B002 - are you sure yours is B001 ?

ya well i guess i am unlucky.
mine says GEM-701LV100R001C100B001
i saw your link and those updates are newer than mine. maybe i should grab both and see if i can do a local file update with them

P8max 703L* now with full 4GLTE+ support in EMUI4.0 Android 6.0

Hi guys..
Wondering about that both my chinese p8max 703L handsets now are supporting LTE+ 4G speeds here in inner copenhagen, in the amount of 72mb download and 50mb upload on LTE bands-
useally that was an hazzle on 703L version the lack of EU/US LTE bands.
some talks about that it was band20 ' there where lacking in 703L version in regards to 701, but after EMUI4.0 on both 703L in household I got no 4G-LTE problems, quite the contrary.
any info about' if this band was hardware-present and just been validated with upgrades, since the 4G LTE support?.
on numerous danish celluar- LTE-vendors i got full 4G LTE support. - any app too see what band is in play>? (non rooted devices, all stock)
btw' wicked feature that you make an hole conversation without open your phone, and do all commands on top-of-the-cover and interact with screen. . -works like an charm.. :good:

I noticed that I was receiving 4G last week here in Ireland. I assumed it was a glitch haha

If that is actually true, that would be one reason for me to update, even though I don't like anything beyond B029
Sent from my HUAWEI P8max using XDA-Developers mobile app

Maybe LTE Discovery shows which lte bands support 703L after update ?

LTE is working fine for me as well in India not that I tried before update.

Its some time since, but as I recall it was just OTA update there activated the bands, needed.
previus we couldnt get 4G on both the DAV703L we got in household (64GB silver and 32GB titanium), but after update, it was suddenly accesable on both., so I was of the presumption that the bands was allready present hardware wise in the chinese version DAV703L, but simply deactivated software wise and then got valid and activated down to OTA update.
atm im still on B212 and 4G works as a charm. (use it daily)
I havent rooted or fooled around with any kernel / rom'release, there both still all stock, like they arrived, only OTA updated.
..

Please re-upload KangSlim B211 ROM

And there were only three custom firmwares from KangVIP, in my opinion. (If I'm not mistaken..)

The update is for both M5 10.8" and M5 Lite 10.1"

Has anyone received the update?
Has anyone received this update ?
Spoke to Swedish support and they said that M5 lite was not scheduled to be updated to emui9.1

I didn't received Pie till this moment (Germany) Latest update was only a security patch for Orego.
Last hope, that an update jump direct to 9.1

Spoke to Norwegian support, they said Android 9 would come, but they did not have a date yet.

According to the UK support the Mediapad M5 Lite is not scheduled to receive Android 9 upgrade, only confirmed for M5 and M5 Pro.

I will never buy a Huawei device again. Only a single Android version, what a shame...

Hi guys
I'm going to buy it, could you check if 9.0.1 update is available now?
I found the guide on romprovider.com (google romprovider.com huawei mediapad m5 lite jordan2), I cannot send the URL due to guest restrictions.
Thx

As far as I know there is no 9.0.1 update.
Still a good tablet that I would consider if going for a new one.

Thx for the advise Joakob, I'm going to pay 180€ for it.
I also found a German guide to install custom ROMs. Just google "android-hilfe.de Custom Roms MediaPad M5 Lite".
I will be wonder if someone already tried to do this

Yes, thats my Guide.. But there are two different Tabs. One is main, it`s an BAH2-W19C432 and the new one is BAH2-W19C431. The guide in android-hilfe.de is only for BAH2-W19C432 cause maybe you need to revert your Firmware to an older one.

good to know mcc, thx for your guide, if I'll try it I'd like to add a specific topic on xda

Just to add a comment about tab versions and its latest firmware: I bought mine from Amazon.de for about 200 euros a couple weeks ago, and indeed it's the newer C431, running v215 firmware (still emui 8.0).
Pretty dumb, because it's my understanding that CUST 431 is for potentially-branded phones (not this) and 432 is the open, "unlocked" European version (should be this case). I heard C432 devices tend to get faster updates, so if anyone has information about switching my C431 to C432, I'm all ears.

What tablet should I buy to run a de-googled ROM?

Hi,
There is a thread for "What phone should I buy" not for Tablet...
So, what tablet should I buy to run a de-GAFAM, de-googled ROM ?
I had a look on Samsung but it seems that some ROM are not working (LineageOS) on some references.
BTW, what ROM do you advice like LineageOS or better?
Thank you for your help.

Question Port a snapdragon 8 gen 1 rom

Hello everyone, my friend has this phone (Honor magic V and I would love to know if is it possible to port a rom from another phone with the same soc to this one, I once have ported rom from Mediatek to another Mediatek device but I have never tried porting on Snapdragon based device, can someone please enlighten me?

The main reason for this is to get Google services working on this device as I have searched everywhere for the way to install Google apps to no avail

Anyone?

To the best of my knowledge, it's not possible to install Google Play Services on that phone.

I have honor magic vs (chinese version sadly) its still on android 12 magic os 7 and cant install play store but for sure global rom(magic os 7.1 ) has gms integration possible. Now the problem is if chinese devices will get an update based on removal of global restrictions or not. chinese people don't use google for obvious reasons.
ping me if you have any update. I am also trying my seller to get international rom for mine.

I will, but I am losing hope as no one is willing to guide me on how it's done (the porting stuff) on snapdragon based soc, I have been doing it on mediatek but I am totally new to this snapdragon world
