just a thanks - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

only registered really to say thanks to hwmod for his mediapad work.
have been lurking for long time but im not very technical so didnt join before.
so thanks for the latest firmware,ics rooted,i took the plunge and it all worked as described and i have successfully got rid of the orange branding at last.
now have to figure out how to unlock the network/sim etc so lots more reading and lurking i guess.
cheers all.

Always good to hear it's used somewhere
There are updates ... a new OC Kernel 3.0.42 and a few tweaks have been released for my modded C232B005 firmware.
Read POST # 2 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725345
There is a separate thread only for the Kernel but the easiest path for most users is upgrading from SD card as explained in that post.

Hi
I was same as you (Orange Tahiti) now Huawei MP with HWMOD updated with new kernel. To unlock network/sim you will need
to get an unlock code. There is a feature on the Huawei home site to get the code but I do not know if it will work with the Tahiti.
I went to "FastGSM" and paid for the unlock code for Orange Tahiti.

[Q] 1st post!

Hello from Edmonton Canada Everyone! This form is fantastic. Lots of info.
I do have a few questions though.
My phone currently runs 1.6 and is very slow, choppy and glitchy. I think the fix is to root and install a different Firmware or kernal or rom, get 2.1 or somethin. I also hope this will get ride of all the apps, and brand apps that come with the phone. Is this the right path?
Do I have to get the phone unlocked to do this. Or is unlocking just allow you to insert any sim card. I am currently locked to Rogers. It seems I can't do anything with a different sim card in the phone, or no sim card. Anyway around this. Will I need to have my rogers card in to root the phone?
Hii welcome. I'm new too! and from Canada
Hello and welcome new guys
If you want to get the best from your phone yes you sill need to root it but first thing you both should do is update to android 2.1 just download Sony Ericson PC companion and let it guide you through the process. And when you get bored of that there is plenty of custom roms to try out. When you feel brace enough you will everything you need to know in the guide from my signitiure just bear in mind any roms based android 2.2 or higher probably wont have a camera and just to let you guys know that Sony wont update your phone past 2.1, its official. Anyway have fun and enjoy the forum, its a great place to learn ;-)

Sweet! finally, I see another Edmontonian....welcome man!
Root your phone first, clean the junk,,install busybox from the market, then install xrecovery, then install JIT v2.
Of course, all the threads you need are in the development section.
Any help, just pm me.

ICS Root

Hi guys,
This would have been answered, but is there ANYWAY to get root on my ICS device?
As most of you know it was bricked, so when the UK ICS update came out I just wanted to the device back so I flashed the relevant .zip file.
Would really love root on this, would make it the icing on the "sandwich" lol

No options at all sorry, im in the same boat, had kernel 10.
Hopefully there will be something soon,
Chur
I'm watching here and there if there's something new on the ICS rooting scene but nothing seems to happend for now. Feels like rooting kernels or searching exploits is out of fashion since many major devices providers don't lock their bootloaders anymore. Even Sony has left some air to Xperia owners.
Of course, I don't have access to hacking teams secrets and maybe today's situation is a calm before the (rooting) storm...

[Q] Possible to unlock from 10.4.2.16

Hi XDA users
My prime is in RMA waiting to be fixed as I had bricked it. It will cost me $200AU to fix the motherboard apparently, but before I pay them I was just wondering if I am able to unlock the device and root again, as some people have posted that they are unable to unlock or root after RMA. I asked the tech and he said it will come back running 10.4.2.16, I was just wondering if there was a way to unlock and root the device, or is it on a firmware which is going to be stuck on stock forever I have only a few days to reply to the tech, so any information, steps, or guides on how to unlock and root (unlock mainly) would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys and gals
Also if it helps I am in Australia

I would check back with him that you have the correct build number. 10.4.2.16 was not a public release.

Sony Tablet S 4.03 r1a Rootable?

Hi all. I was here some months back, trying to root the device (which I had upgraded to firmware 4.03 r1a) and I tried all the scripts, the allinone and other ADB commands. Multiple times. Got this device in China, and didn't have any luck rooting it.
Now after not using the device for months, I turn it on and notice r5a is available. I thought.. hmm, maybe upgrading it will make it harder once again to root it, so I better check online to see if there's a root available now or not. I've been looking around and can't find any real answers on this.
So, just wanted to ask: Is the Sony Tablet S 4.03 r1a rootable now?
Thanks!

Hi and thanks for reply
I did follow the instructions on this page but that was probably last January. I couldn't find any specifics about a Chinese firmware with 4.03 r1a, so was just wondering if this guide was valid for it.
I suppose I'll try it again, and see if anything's changed.
Thanks.

Root Honor 10 (COL-L29) with Emui 9.1.0.357

Hello i´m new to flashing and rooting and i wanted to know if it is possible to root my Honor 10 with Emui 9.1.0.357 (C432).
I have unlocked the bootloader and now i need to flash TWRP on my device right?
but on TWRP´s website there is no Support for Honor 10.
I also found OpenKirin that supports Honor 10 but on their site is emui 9.0 listed.
OpenKirin can be flashed without TWRP rigth?
i dont know what to do now.
i havent found a good guide for my problem.

Hey, sorry I can't help rooting but when did you get your bootloader unlocked and what method did you use? If you used a third party can you let us know how you did it?
Also the other thread you've commented on looks like it shows how to root but again sorry I can't help more than say try those steps (carefully! The twrp is for a different device but seems to work) .. good luck. If I ever manage to get unlocked and rooted I'll let you know.. I'm still bootloader locked as Huawei never sent my code!

I claimed my code on the last day where you can claim it from Huawei.
the other thread was an Instruction for 9.0 not 9.1.0.357.
