Hi,
Has anyone managed to download the firmware update from Huawei's website here? I've been unable to download it for weeks now. The link seems to be down. Any mirrors?
Are you serious?
Try the search feature?
I managed to download it after trying several times. However, I keep getting a FAIL when I follow the instructions, i.e. copy the dload directory to the root of my sdcard, insert it, press and hold volume down + power button.
And from the FAIL screen, I can only reboot back into the update screen, which fails again.
1. What have I done wrong?
2. Since the battery is fixed, how can I force shutdown?
Usually that happens if the download is corrupted. Try to redownload the fw again. Btw, have you tried to remove the SD card? If the SD card with dload folder (with relevant files inside) is inserted then it would always go to the update screen.
to force shutdown hold power button for 10 seconds
Thanks. Turns out there's something wrong with my sdcard. I don't know why - they're working perfectly fine in Windows or in other phones. Anyway, I tried a 3rd card and it worked.
make sure that your card is formatted to FAT32
Sooooo this is a little embarrassing but PLEASE, I need help here .
My friend has a knackered old Elonex Etouch 1000ET (AKA Zenithink ZT-180 I think) that he is determined to hang on to but has locked himself out of (forgot his pin). I've assured him that I could easily facctory reset this for him and/or install a newer / custom ROM on there to help it perform better than it does at the moment - from what I can gather it's running an OLD version of Android, possibly Eclair and it's slow as hell.
Now I've been at this for 2 hours now and I can't work out for the life of me how to do it on this thing. I've been rooting / flashing phones for years without trouble but this is really doing my head in!
Here's what I've tried:
- Connected via the OTG port but Windows (Win7 64bit) doesn't want to install the drivers and then can't find it in device manager
- Tried the above while booting into 'update mode' (Holding home button or the left volume key and booting) - result is 'No zImage_update'
- Copied all relevant files (ZT_Bx.boot, zImage, system.pack.img, userdata.pack.img) to a folder called zt-update on the root of the SD card but still get the 'No zImage_update' message.
I get that this is a piece of crap tablet but it's a favour for a mate and I need to get this done. Please please PLEASE can somebody help here lol. I just want to wipe the damn thing and get it working again.
Cheers.
Fixed
For those looking for a solution to this, I found out a way:
- First go to http://www.elonex.com/index.php/support/etouch/1000et/ and download the elonex.com/support/etouch/1000ET-FWv1122.zip
- Then go here and follow this post to reformat your MicroSD card with a fresh FAT32: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/198...hing-roms/page__st__40__p__219055#entry219055
- Extract the 'zt-update' file from the first zip and put it in the root folder of your squeaky clean SD card
- Pop the SD card back into the tablet, hold the volume down button and turn it on.
You're welcome.

Upgrade instructions

This tread is referring to a S7-721u version in Malaysia with Gr8 bundled pre-installed.
Unfortunately, I lost my Gr8 activation code and unable to login to the device anymore after a factory reset. After some research, I have managed to flash it with the original firmware. Yes, I lost me Gr8 code, so I don't have the access to the daily subscription anymore, but I got my Huawei Mediapad back without unwanted pre-installed apps.
I am sharing this guideline so that it would be easier for people who faced the same issue like me. For people already got your Huawei Mediapad, keep your Gr8 code safe and remember where you keep it.
Prepare an microSD card with any storage size larger than 1GB.
Format microSD card.
Download Huawei official release firmware (S7-721u, Android4.3, C232B008, General).
Unzip downloaded firmware.
Delete file “au_temp.cfg” in dload folder.
Copy dload folder with UPDATA.APP in it.
Paste dload folder in your microSD card.
Power Off Huawei Mediapad. Insert microSD card.
Press Power + volume up + volume down keys together. The phone automatically enters the upgrade mode, and then begin the upgrade. Release the keys.
Once the progress bar reaches 100%, the phone will automatically restart. DONE!
What is new version C232B008 or C264B001? My tablet is on C264B001.

How important is it to delete that file. Is that the reason why when i install the update it says "update.app is a invalid package"? Thanks mate.
Hi. I just reinstall the software, but how do I get back my e papers subscriptions?
Is there any costum rom, and i have this tablet locked on one network ,is there a solution to run other network.thanks in advance.
I did all as you said, but now my tablet is completely dead.
Thanks it worked.
Provide the download link for the firmware please?
Thx Sunnysardine, it works for me.
Just to add a bit for my experience.
The process 1 - 8 MUST be followed exactly. I tried putting the update.app w/o the load folder, it did not work
For process 10, it takes a bit of time. the Huawei logo showed up for quite long before it power up to 1st screen. after that, all well. So got to be patient a little bit
Thanks man
I followed ur instructions exactly and it works, nice
If not for this, I would have thrown away my mediapad, it totally not login-able/ unusable without Gr8 code
Thanks again!
it is work for me.. thanks for sharing
Hi there, I found a way to remove GR8 app without installing the update. I found out that due to the device cannot detect the update in my sd card.
1) turn on the Huawei media pad s7-721u, unlock the screen
2) plug in to computer/laptop windows 7,8 or windows 10
3) on the Huawei media pad screen, it will pop up usb setting, select hiSuite usb type option
4) at the andoid setting, please go to about table setting, then enable developer mode by taping 7 times at Build number
5) still at android setting, go to security, make sure your android Screen lock setting is set under Huawei unlock,the go to shortcut setting, need to set to google app and android setting app.
6) install HiSuite to your computer - this is the Huawei official computer device managed software tool
7) install iRoot software to your computer. careful with this installation, it full of bloatware, but don't worry it don't have a virus.
8) run the iRoot and it will root your device. It will restart your Huawei pad multiple times.
9) after it root complete, unlock your device then go to google play ( as your android unlock setting option have the google play as describe in step 5)
10) install System app remover from google play
11) open the app, go to inside the app setting, remove setting Hide core system app
12) go to the main menu of the app remover, under manager, select system app, now you can find gr8 gallery app. Removed that app then restart the device.
13) you will have multiple error in android, just reboot and the error gone. DONE
This is where you can download the firmware
