How to unlock Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite locked after "too many patterns attemts"
One of my friends have a Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite S7-931u. Recently his son tried few pattern attempts & It began to ask google account to unlock saying "Too many pattern attempts"
But it is not possible as it doesn't connect to Wifi or mobile network in this status!
Its ICS unrooted one & he doesn't know whether debugging enabled or not & no recoveries installed..
We both tied to upgrade it with official update from Huawei(by copying "dload" to SDcard). But instead of upgrading it restarts normally to the above screen asking to sign in to google account to unlock.
so the tablet became totally useless.
Is there a way to Hardreset/Install a new ROM or any other method to make this work?

what i have learned for updating is, to extract the update.app and unlmt.cfg to your sd card root.
then while the mediapad 7 lite turned off, simultaneously press power key and volume down, once you see the bootscreen huawei mediapad 7 lite continue to press volume down key, til you see the android icon, release the volume key down and while the gear is moving press one more time the volume down key. it will reboot for about 2 to 5 minutes and it will be upgraded or reflashed, because there is no update from their website, the same update ICS 4.0.3. to factory reset it, you can press power and volume down key simultaneously and once you feel it vibrates, continue pressing the volume up key. your media pad 7 lite will be factory reset again.
good luck and i hope this helps. you

First of all: while device is off press "power" and "left" together... after vibration, release "power", but keep pressing "left".
If this was done right, the "fastboot" loader comes up.
When you got to this point, you could be hleped further.

Now try these steps-
download the device software from the huawei website (go to huaweidevice.com ==>select mediapad 7 lite from smartphones list ==>click on software tab ) according to your device
Extract the files to your computer and read the manual given in the downloaded zip file "CAREFULLY"
Keep in find that the SD card must hav atleast 2Gb free space after the dload files have been put into it
Make sure your sd card's format is FAT (you can do that by formatting the sd card on your pc and changing the format there)
Don't worry about the optional files(as they are optional)
Just read the manual and follow the above steps and you are done

Hello,
I tried it and now the android icon appears but it only restart after that,

I've fixed my problem this way:
1. turn off tablet
2. press and hold power and left key simultaneously
3. once you see the logo of huawei, release left key and immediately press right key continously till you see the android icon and the gear moving around
4. continue pressing volume up key until it reboots
5. once it reboots, you will notice that it will ask for your email,so it is on factory default settings now

Please ignore post. Sorry for the mess.

and leave the other buttons are held

para esta tablet s7-931w
de hecho el firmware marca error
ok el procedure es el siguiente
press los 2 botones volumen arriba y abajo
seguido del pwr
en el momento que vibre soltar boton de pwr

en ese momento aparece el android con engranes
soltar el boton de volumen arriba y dejar oprimido el de volumen abajo

Dear friends,
This is the way you can reset s7-931u. i did it twice.
1. power off your tab
2. press the three buttons (power + volume up + volume down.)
3. release the power button when you see the logo and keep pressing the two bouttons till you see the gear.
4. release the volume up without releasing the volume down.
Wait till you see a yellow bar under the gear then you can release it.
wait till the display says OK and thats it
Best Regards.

Confirmed.
This Hard-Reset work. Only need to charge battery more 20%.
No need re-flash firmware. Only make Hard-Reset with up steps and device will be reseted.
