[OTA] B008 for 701L (sept 7th 2017) - Huawei MediaPad X2

As you can see here:
Team MT's extract from Huawei OTA database
(download links are available on the page non translated = http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GEM-701L&firmware_page=0)
A new incremental OTA is available for 701L since sept 7th 2017, it's GEM-701LR001C100B008. it at least "Improved system security and stability with the latest Google security patches". But it's still android 5.0.1 & EMUI 3.0.5 !
As an incremental OTA, it has to be installed using EMUI3 local updater (put update.zip in a dload folder at the root of your internal or external sd card, then settings->updater>menu->local update.) on this complete rom already running on the device:
GEM-701LV100R001C100B005
(this link gives you the full rom package, so you can reinstall it/or upgrade your B003, by emui local update also)

Hi,
i´m on GEM-701LV100R00C100B005 but there is nor OTA available.
Is it possible to download the updatezip from Huawei directly ?

I edited post#1 to give the russian page of the database with donwload links available on, and to give also all download links as hyperlinks behind each rom full name!

Is your device a 701L?
What is your current rom, is it a C100 one or not? Is it the C100B005?
Did you try firmware finder to update first to C100B005, before later upgrade to B008 with firlware finder also?

Hello,
it is a GEM-701L
GEM-701LV100R001C100B005

Firmwarefinder found B008
tried both B008 Updatezips from download in post#1

Just get my hands on a brand new GEM-701LV100B005R001C100B003 .
Unfortunately GEM-701LV100R001C100B005 update.zip file is not available on download neither on TeamMT extract from huawei database, nor through Huawei firmware finder, nor through Huawei Danemark website, where the full rom has been downloadable for a moment
So I tried to install this OTA incremental update on top of GEM-701LV100B005R001C100B003 directly. But like you allinstallation with dlaod stop at 3%. Either direct download + emui local update, Firmwar finder + its proxy, downlaod with firmware finder + emui local update. All of this with both version of the OTA (sept 1st 2017, and sept 7th 2014).
So I dig a bit more and found a full installation file for GEM701LV100R001B005CUSTC100D001 . It'll take a couple hours to download, but I'll be able to test B008 OTA on this firmware, and I'll let you know!

Ok I succeed ton install GEM-701LV100R001C100B005 with the full rom file from above link. And from this full rom, I had no trouble installing the downloaded incremental OTA GEM-701LV100R001C100B008 from september 7th 2017 !! (I used emui local update for the 2 installations)
The device that I got today with GEM-701LV100B005R001C100B003 rom, is now tonight with GEM-701LV100R001C100B008 rom !.
So @Sebi1960, just install full B005, and then OTAB008 !
I'm updating post #1 right now with these details!

In order to have in one step a very clean stock 701L device with very last stock rom (B008 dated sept 7th 2017, android 5.0.1, emui 3.0.5, android security august 2017), please follow this thread . As soon as ajsmsg78 has added in post#1 a flashable GEM-701LV100R001C100B008 zip, then install it from TWRP recovery... and that's it

Hello,
i did a full wipe and format with twrp on my X2 701L .
Than i used ADB fastbboot to install boot.img , cust.img , recovery.img , system.img and userdata.img from
Huawei MediaPad X2 Firmware(GEM-701L, Android 5.0, EMUI 3.0.5, V100R001C100B003CUSTC100D001, Germany) Zipfile
extracted with HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5 .
The x2 did boot and now it seems that i have a clean B003 .
I will try now B005 and than B008.
---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------
Hello,
dload did not work.
I used adb fastboot again as in my post above.
I had to reset the X2 with formatting internal SD to get 32GB total again.
Now i am on B005
Is there a way to get the full B008 Rom ?
---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------
Hello,
dload with Update B008 stops at about 17 % .
i hope to get the full b008 Rom to install it with adb and fastboot.

The fact that you have to use fastboot to install those huawei files, means that's something is wrong since the begijnning with your device installation.
- do a EMUI factory reset (in settings) on your installed B005
- Retry to install full B005 (please check/verify the archive first, with your archive-software). Install it through EMUI 3 local updater: put the dload folder containes in B005 archive, into the root of your internal storage or a external sd card, then then settings->updater>menu->local update. That's the way I used for the 701L I updated from B003 to B008. Try also 3 buttons pushed reboot with dload well placed, if emui local update did not worked
this SHOULD work. If not, that could me the same cause that make.
My point is for you to suceed a dlod install before trying something else!
Don't worry as soon as @ajsmsg78 put the TWRP flashable stock B008, you'll have a way at the end to obtain your 701L on last stock rom!

Did you on see that on teamMT's extract of the huawei database, that there is 2 incremental B008 OTA?
one dated 2017.09.01, size=208290836

@Sebi1960, I got my hands on antoher untouched GEM-701L, and I did follow the same B003>B005>B008 process (all with EMUI 3 local updater, settings>updates>menu>localupdate). All went perfect, with no issue. You really need to start from a clean stock rom (so dload installed). I didn't factory reset befrore each update, but I advice you to.
Let me know for your device. And don't worry, I'm sending now to ajsmsg78 what he needs to finish his TWRP recovery flashable 701L B008 file!

Just flash the universal Cust, and this will fix the false info "about the phone".
Did you go all the steps which I have described here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64623653&postcount=378
I had tried to jump directly vom B106 to B111KangVIP, but it was not working properly.
If you try to install back the B001 you will perhaps loose the function to charge the battery. So be warned.
And by the way: my 701L had version B003. Are you sure your phone had B001? If yes ok. But if you have fully upgraded to Android 5.1.1 the flash of a lower version could produce unwanted effects.
After some experiments I restarted by flashing the B106 did a factory reset and then installed B109 and B111 stock via dload and then B111KangVIP. Then you will have back the full working machine and you will be happy.

You find univeral cust here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4VFhMc21DNGYtMHc/view?usp=sharing
You must flash it via 5.1.1 TWRP https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4Uy1XdXVoSG1SMXc/view?usp=sharing
If you already are on B111 the way back may lead you in disability to charge the battery. So most people here will say NO. That was also my experience. But you can try that and report, if you see the light and lightning icon for charging. This would be interesting.

and which room hasn't Chinese language
Do a Backup in TWRP before you start the dload from the GUI.
If you have flashed the universalt cust you will see that the Andriod verson and storage Info will be correct.
But if did not go thru B106,B109,B111stock you will not have a full working Android 5.1.1. If this would be possible Huawiei would offer the dload for B111 if you are ond B106. No they don't. They inform you to upgrade to 109 via OTA or dload. When on B109 you will get the message tha there is a update for B111. So I guess we have to go that way, even if it seems that you have installed a B111. You have the wrong infos in the "about phone" and the universal cust is inside the B111KangVip.zip file. So this is curious. Start with flashing universal Cust, then flash 4 images for B106 and then go all steps via dload.
flashed the universalt cust and information still error
Do a Backup within TWRP (NANDROD) . Then do the dload after you have started the rom.
All ROMs for the 703 start in chinese, but you will be able to set the language. B111KANGVip has removed the most chinese.
---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------
Ok if you still have the information error this is an indeed, that you must do all steps going thru all the fw versions.
Do that NANDROID of incomplete B111. If you have the "not charging problem" turn the device complete off to charge for a while. If it does not charge do a recover of the B111 to charge, then continue.
Start to install B106 and follow my instruction list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64623653&postcount=378
4. b This flashes GEM-703L official stock ROM b106 via dload folder. [This flash maybe abort on about (90-95%), but this does not effect the next steps] Wait to press ok until you have exchanged the dload folder for the next steps.
i wont do that setup restart and do nothing

You updated to a test build. You'll probably need to rollback to Marshmallow using Huawei's rollback package. You could try using the Charles method... Look in the guides forum for how to do a Sympathic update.

Did the roll back. Wasn't able to flash the 2nd package the way that it described in the rollback PDF but it worked in the method described in the PDF that comes with the 6.0 firmware download (applying update from SD card). Both packages took a couple tries updating, not sure why.
I ended up on the test build using the Charles method last time.
Used the Firmware Finder (Team MT) proxy route this time and easily made it to B360.
Thanks for your help!

Hello
If you have got a FRD-L09 C432, you have to dl and flash the B131 before upgrading toward Nougat ( B360 for example). You have to use the dload method ( dl B131 and extract then) and you place the Update.app in a file named dload in a SD card in your phone. Turn on your phone and you use the 3 buttons ( VOL +, VOL - and Power in same time until the tel enters in flashing).

For my mind, you have to do a rollback toward MM. So, you have dl two files in official Honor site! Then, you apply the dload method ( extract and put an update.app in a Sd card in a file named Dload) and flash by the three buttons ( Vol+, Vol- and Power) for the first file and repeat the same operation for the second.
I hope it works.

There may be 2 zips for model. One is main zip and then one for data zip. You need to flash both. It will bring back the updater app in setting.
For NRD TEST KEY, you need to flash the oeminfo file. Let me know if help required

Hi I got a big problem with my Honor 8. I buy it from UK seller but it send it from China... I got a FRD-AL00 = seem to be a chinese phone, but I got all Google app installed.
After an OTA Update the phone was stuck on a recovery screen, can't make update or other actions. After 2 days searching I found a Chinese ROM for AL00 phone, I installed it via dload method, the phone boot properly and I'm now on EMUI 5, but no google app and the Build number is NRD90M test-keys --> DAMN !!

You need the oeminfo file of this version and then need to dload again to be able to get rid of nrd test keys. There is a detailed procedure in my debranding guide in signature but you need to have oeminfo file for your model and then firmware.
Or you can try debranding guides for honor 8 to other variant to have Google also.

Hello
If you have got a FRD-L09 C432, you have to dl and flash the B131 before upgrading toward Nougat ( B360 for example). You have to use the dload method ( dl B131 and extract then) and you place the Update.app in a file named dload in a SD card in your phone. Turn on your phone and you use the 3 buttons ( VOL +, VOL - and Power in same time until the tel enters in flashing).

i downloaded C432B131 and try to flash it using 3 buttons but it goes to 5% and give error again.

Don't getting update to B560 again

My Mate 8 L29 is currently on C432B192 again. I said 'again', because I was already three or four times on EMUI 5. (I tried to root it but it failed Everytime, so I had to rollback)
Yesterday I wanted to try again to root B560 and began to search for the update, but - nothing. I tried it via update app , HiCare app and HiSuite on PC. I don't get the update offered. (I also deleted data and cache of those apps)
I'm currently rooted, so I tried to unroot, install stock boot image and recovery .. but same problem: still not getting the update.
Now I'm wondering why this is happening .. I had that same case before (B192, rooted etc.) and I always got that update offered.
Does anyone have a solution for this ? ( Except the manually method via TWRP .. this was never working for me)
Thank you for your help!
Hello everyone ...
I was trying to root my mate 8 next+L29c185b560 ... And I did with twrp

You need rollback package to get it back to normal.
Since your model is L29 & you are nougat.
Go to this site http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
Download the file
Extract the update.app
Make a folder on your sdcard and name it as dload
put this update.app in that sdcard
now you do the dload method
you can do it two ways
one way is
the 3 finger rule while bootup
just press volume + volume - power button together and hold until you see EMUI verifying package
then release your fingers
it will rollback to marshmallow
now you have to update it to another stock firmware (marshmallow)
remember at this point it is in global firmware it might show build number as C900 or something.
you can check it in the settings - about -> build number
you have to then update it to your model firmware
L29C185BXX
I found the stock firmware from another thread for your model
This is L29C185B200
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v65326/f1/full/update.zip
once again
download the file,
extract the update.app &
then put the update.app in dload folder on your sdcard
and then do dload method.
second way of dload is
open dialer
type *#*#2846579#*#*
click on "software upgrade"
and then -> SDcard upgrade
follow the instructions on the screen
and it will finish the dload method in next few minutes.
That's it. now you will be on Stock ROM with fully functional OS.
after this you will either get OTA updates or you can download using HiCare
or you can download the stock firmware from another thread
or
you can use firmware finder to get stock firmware for your phone. Get the latest version.
If you finish all these steps then I will tell you how to get to nougat if you have any trouble
Hope you find this information useful.

You are rooted & if I read correctly you also have TWRP installed.
If you are unlocked, rooted & have TWRP - then you can install custom roms.
but if you want stock roms, - you need Stock ROM, Stock Recovery, Locked bootloader.
First you need the rollback package from EMUI4.1 to EMI 4.0 for L29C432 is below
https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/0mlDFqqy
Rollback package for L29 to downgrade from EMUI 5.0 to EMUI 4.0 marshmallow is
http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
So choose the right version based on the firmware you are having on your phone. If you have nougat choose the second link and if you have any other version then choose the first link.
Download the file, extract the update.app
then you have to do dload method
create a folder named dload and put update.app in sd card
then
go to dialer
press *#*#2846579#*#*
select
sdcard upgrade
and then say yes
that's it
you will come back to stock (global) version. build version will be C900BXX
now you need stock firmware for L29C432
you can download the stock firmware from here. Below tis the link for L29C432B180
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v51244/f1/full/update.zip
Stock firmware for L29C432B192
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v63059/f1/full/update.zip
Here you have the option to either go for L29C432B180 or L29C432B192. (if you choose B192, then you will save time and reduce few steps, because you will get system update to B560 immediately once you change the region to Ireland in Hicare app)
do the dload method again
extract the file, put the file in dload folder in sdcard ,
either use dialer or use 3 button rule to finish the dload process
now you are on L29C432B180. / L29C432B192
From here you can use another dload method to go to B192 - > system update (OTA) -> B560 or B580
if you get a blank screen - > do factory reset
if you get "verification failed " in red color - > unlock bootloader again and proceed with the steps.
This rollback package will save you in case of any problems.
Once you go to nougat B560
you can update to Kangvip B577 - pre rooted rom - its awesome - Root stable , excellent battery lfie. - everything is working perfectly.
I will give you those steps and links if you succeed in getting to B560 after all these steps.
I am sorry that this is a very long post and many steps but I can assure you that it is worth.
Ultimately you will get to nougat & with full root using Kangvip B577.
Hope you succeed

[GUIDE]Rollback From Oreo

HWOTA won't work with OREO, so we need to rollback manually with ADB.
this guide (more like just code memo) is for people who didn't backuped before update,
or can't go back to B183 directly by any reason (like dead capacitive keys).
What You Need to Read
[STF-L09C432] How to install Oreo on your H9
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/stf-l09c432-how-to-install-oreo-h9-t3707729
[GUIDE][REBRAND] Honor 9 [ANY REGION]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/guide-honor-9-t3653719/post75439859#post75439859
What You Need to Download
HWOTA (Windows tool)
Firmware Finder (Windows tool)
ADB and Fastboot (Windows tool)
C432B120 Firmware File
Stock NoCheck Oreo Recovery
What You Need to Have
unlocked bootloader and superuser, ADB.
adb push won't work, so you will need microSD card.
exFAT may not work on some ROMs (like Treble AOSP 8.0), so format it to FAT32.
What You Need to Do
1.
download B432C120 from Windows Version Firmware Finder and rename it (check [REBRAND] Honor 9 Thread).
why B120? bcuz it's the only firmware that leave capacitive keys and flashlights alive.
put them into microSD card root, with NoCheck Oreo Recovery .img (check How to install Oreo Thread).
insert microSD card to your phone and connect the phone to your PC and open ADB.
first of all,
Code:
adb shell
su
let's change recovery with NoCheck one first.
Code:
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk
note that 'sdcard1' maybe different, like 'E1F2-A123', base on your ROM. It's your sdcard's name.
We'll put Firmware into recovery cache and make stock recovery to flash it.
Code:
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_all_hw.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
note that 'sdcard' is not 'sdcard1', so you don't have to change it to sth like E6F3-A496.
your phone will reboot 2, 3 times and will suggest low level format and download new firmware.
now go to fastboot and unlock the bootloader.
this will do low level format.
2.
now your phone is something like EMUI 8.0 Android 7.0, with broken build number.
do HWOTA (no need to do rebrand, just do firmware flash with update option) with C432B120 we downloaded before.
This will make your phone Stock C432B120.
3.
Let's Go back to B183, the newest Nougat ROM.
download Firmware Finder for Huawei app at Play Store.
choose C432B183 and update it with proxy.
maybe you got 'yet approved' error,
but there are quite numerous C432B183 so check every single one of it.
There is one that is flash-able.
4.
TADA, now you rollbacked your phone.
I think you can also rollback with Hisuite on PC, I did a few times to rollback from beta.
I don't like your guide because :
-You're flashing a B120 firmware which is not to rollback from oreo when there is already a B183 oreo's rollback available for this on FF.
-You have to flash it 2 times to fix your build version issue (maybe because it's not a rollback firmware).
Please note that your step 1 & 2 are the same, you just did hwota manually on step 1.
-You then updated from B120 to B150 when you could have directly updated to B183 not for oreo's rollback on FF.
Sorry.

Never tried that, but it would be much more simple and clear. This Thread will become useless though lol.

1. isn't that rollback for beta B321 and disables capacitive keys and Flash lights with B360a?
2. that's the point of this guide, since HWOTA is not properly working with oreo. you can just change the strings inside the hwota.sh if you want to.
3. no you can't jump to B183 directly from B120, shows approve error. any other firmware except B150 shows the error, same to B183 from B150.
Thx for the opinions though.

Nope, it's a rollback from oreo B3xx.
It's still has to be tested if rolling back from B3xx to B183 mess with capacitives keys.

Sorry but you are wrong : by using FF on B120, I can guarantee you that YOU CAN update to approved B183 using the full ota update ( the B183 one that is not to rollback).

I found out that We do can OTA to B183 directly, so I changed the GUIDE + some minor change.
2. now your phone is something like EMUI 8.0 Android 7.0, with broken build number. d
I didn't get this point. i mean with hwota (link you put in) we have just 2 options. update and rebrand. we have no choice for just flashing. sorry for my bad understanding.

do update.
which version of B183 are we supposed to take? I choose the last one: 116404
but I'm not sure it's the correct one. (changelog tell it's a rollback firmware)
seems the good one is the 111176 (changelog is not about rollback)
Don't follow this outdated OP and thread which were never right in the first place.
For rollback use HiSuite or HuRUpdater.

DLoad UPDATE.app for upgrading from 703l-b109 to marshmallow

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:
703L B211 (may 2016):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4VDc1cXB2U2Jtdms/view?usp=sharing
(you may receive OTA to B212, if not I'll give you the incremental update file)
** Also those full rom files for 702L should work on dload install (they do on a unmodified android 5 701L):
