Huawei had released ICS for media pad a while ago. Check the development section.

True.

From tmonews, it's 4.0.3 and not 4.0.4. I think 4.0.3 is the correct one. Anyway, we will know it soon enough.
Would somebody be so kind and try to keep the update.zip for those of us who have problems getting back to stock?
ICS is now released and my Springboard is downloading the update!
Here is the ZIP file update for anyone that want to grab it to extract and play...
http://www.gamefront.com/files/22180781/Springboard-ics-update.zip
Update:
OTA failed for me right away. I got the update to manually install with the following steps:
1) Created a folder on root of my SDcard, dload
2) Copied the update ZIP file above into dload and renamed it to update.zip
3) Created a zero length file unlmt.cfg in the dload folder
Rebooted with normal VOL+ key held down to start a SD install.
Note: After upgrade completed the Launcher would not start and kept repeating "Unfortunately Launcher has stopped".
To fix, click Ok and quickly bring up the Statusbar menu by swiping it at the bottom of the screen and click on the clock/date, next enter Settings->Apps->All->Launcher, then clear data.
Looks like a full update So everyone who flashed the Springboard to MediaPad could go back now, if wanted.
Best feature in this update for me is, the startup T-mobile sound is about 1/4 the old volume!
:fingers-crossed:
Does this T-mobile ICS seem to support the phone function?

Much appreciated but it would have been even nicer if you could have posted the original URL from Google
I'm downloading it now. I think I might try to flash just the radio files and see if that improves things for me. I'm otherwise satisfied with the international ICS firmware.

You can remove that sound with root. I think it's:
/cust/tmobile/us/media/animationsounds/bootSound.ogg
Rename or delete it.

Question: What's the baseband version post-update?
Hi,
does anybody know, if I can run this update on the German Version of the Mediapad or shall I better refrain from trying?
Thank you

springboard root
Does the springboard have to be rooted before the update to get root? I used the update but it is not rooted now nor was it before and I would like to get root.

Nope the update is a full wipe. So you will need to root after the update.

Have you actually got this root method to work for the non-Mediapad Springboard with the T-Mobile firmware? I run Linux and so the command script in this package will not exactly execute on my machine. I tried manually sequentially entering the adb commands contained in the command script, and got stuck at a 'permission denied' error within the first several commands. If this does work for the Springboard, and not just the Mediapad, then there might be something about the embedded windows drivers and software for the device that allows it to work...because I sure can't get it to fly on Ubuntu.

I actually used the below method to install root again on ICS. I believe there is a fastboot for Linux if you cannot find a DOS/Windows machine.
Only issue I was my Springboard was recovery booting off of "recovery2" partition so I needed to flashboot that partition to get CWM recovery to boot. Since the Official Springboard ICS zip package contains the stock recovery.img file you really can flash both recovery/recovery2 partitions and revert back later if needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850367
And to clarify, for booting into Fastboot, you hold the power button and the VOL closest to it down at the same time.
To boot recovery/CWM hold the power button and VOL key furthur away from the power button (its VOL Up) for some reason.
Also, don't try to use the Touch recovery (TWM) package, it froze up on me when trying to run the root zip installer, but luckily reverting to the basic CWM recovery, I was able to re-install and fix my boot looping.

As I can see from your other posts you rooted the 997D with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 solution. After that you did the system firmware update and you don't have root anymore?
I also updated the firmware of my 997D through my phone settings/about phone/system updates/check for update and after that I first tried to root my phone with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 utility and it didn't work.
Is there any way to rollback our firmware?

Nice move from alcatel to fix root in an update, if i only knew this before i updated
Also tried Unlockroot 3.0 (which was updated recently) but it doesn't work
ok, found this out, when you shut down the phone, press volume up + power button, phone starts in android recovery mode 3e, any possible chance to get the phone rooted this way?
c'mon guy's i want this phone rooted, getting resolution problems with games (software buttons of ics hide some of the screen) can't start some gps apps because of this stupid software buttons)
anyone dare to try this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?ldao6p9eyjuu1f9
I'm prepared to even pay for a working root, so if anyone has found a way, pls contact me at pm
Any news on this subject? I love the phone, but I miss the SetCPU profiles I used on my previous phone, and a battery meter with percentage...
Nothing yet, I have tried every available method soc,unlockroot,bin4ary etc and nothing works after the firmware update.
Is there anyone who hasn't done the firmware update and can root his phone? If yes please do a factory reset and take a backup of his ROM and upload.
I guess our best bet would be a port of CWM recovery. Maybe I'll backup the stock recovery and use the CWM recovery builder this evening if I have the time

I'll reply to myself: no way, since you need to be rooted in order to dump the stock recovery. Maybe if someone could try to extract the OTA update so we could examine the files and look if the recovery.img is there...
---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
Ok, I have managed to get something.
Following this tutorial by Bruno Martins (a well known rom cooker who's also a user here) I've been able to dump recovery.img from my Alcatel OT-997D: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html
The tutotial was meant for MT6513 and MT6573 devices, but looks like it works on MT6577 too.
Then, I've used that file with the Clockworkmod recovery builder at http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ and now I have another recovery image, which is supposed to be a CWM port for our Alcatel.
I'm still unsure to flash that recovery, since I can't be sure it will work. Mediatek based phones do not have a fastboot mode, so it's impossible to just try a recovery image without actually flashing it. In fastboot mode, you can boot the phone into a custom recovery without actually flashing it, so you risk nothing if it doesn't work
In case someone daring enough wants to try my custom recovery, I've uploaded it to my Mediafire account: http://www.mediafire.com/?7232aj7jhg7l4e5
The idea is that, with a working CWM recovery, it should be possible to flash Chainfire's SuperSU root zip and easily root the phone.
Of course I warn you this could ruin the recovery image on your phone, so don't risk doing it if you're not sure.
I have a Singapore T6UL running on 4.3 S-OFF, Bootloader unlocked, rooted. When the 4.4.2 OTA came, I tried installing using the stock recovery. But it is complaining about HtcSoundRecorder.apk and Weixin.apk and abort the installation.Problem is HTCSoundRecorder is removed automatically when I unlocked the bootloader.

Do you have a screen shot for us ? that sounds pretty interesting to look at.
I have never heard of anything beibg removed with unlocking thr bootloader. It is possible unlocking the bootloader makes some apps not function properly (or even show up) but the apk should definitely still be there.
I tried using the HtcSoundRecorder.apk that pradeepvizz provides, Still same issue. Complaining about "\data\preload\HtcSoundRecorder.apk has unexpected contents Installation aborted" Tried with the apk extracted from a couple of roms in the dev section. Same issue,
The original doesn't have the "\data\preload" directory. So I thought that creating that directory and copying in the apk should work but it doesn't.
It seems that the \data\preload folder is removed after I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev...
Any ideas?
I am on software version: 1.23.707.1 Any kinds soul have the backup for this version? :highfive:

I don't think so. I didn't get any software update prompt except for the latest 4.2.2 update since I bought the Max on day 1 launch in Singapore.
Some options that I am thinking:
Option 1: Edit the ota update script to remove checks for sound recorder and weixin. This will make the zip to be unsigned and I am thinking whether this can be flashed using TWRP or CWM as stock recovery shouldn't allow it to be flashed due to unsigned package.
Option 2: Lock the bootloader. Factory reset. I am wondering if this can bring back to 100% stock state. I am from the Windows CE world and this works on CE as it will reload everything from the ROM image.

did you try to extract the apk from virtuous ROM? that was only the ROM which i remember to have these files. the Apk files that i had linked were collected it from various posts on XDA, so that could be something causing the mismatch
I am not sure if CWM/TWRP can flash a edited zip using "install update.zip" but i think you can do that via adb sideload in TWRP/CWM.
Do you have the OTA link or the file, can you please upload so that the experts here can use it / help you with it?

Yep. I tried with the apk from virtuous ROM having the same issue. I checked the sha-1 of 5 copies of the apk from different sources and none of them has the matching sha-1 that the update script is asking for.
Can you share what is the differences between flashing via adb sideload and "install update.zip"?

i understand your frustration, but i believe this is part of Google's security improvement in the OTA process.
i am not sure on the difference between adb sideload and update.zip, just did a little bit of Google and found that TWRP may work with the OTA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573565

This is the EURO OTA from 1.19 to 1.54, not sure if that will help you.

Well, if you are able to find an RUU for your phone, that can be the only clean way to do it.
you can edit the script and removed the lines which specifies soundrecorder apk and then flash it with TWRP / CWM.

don't panic if you can access recovery your fine
download a rom and push it to your phone
boot phone to recovery / go advanced / screen / timeout never
on you pc you should have a folder with adb and fastboot
put the rom you choose in the folder with adb
then open a command prompt in the same folder (shift + right click - command prompt here)
in the window type
adb devices
your serial number should be here
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
let it copy is takes a few min and you can tell it's done
now from your phone go to install
find the rom.zip and flash

don't panic if you can access recovery your fine
download a rom and push it to your phone
boot phone to recovery / go advanced / screen / timeout never
on you pc you should have a folder with adb and fastboot
put the rom you choose in the folder with adb
then open a command prompt in the same folder (shift + right click - command prompt here)
in the window type
adb devices
your serial number should be here
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
let it copy is takes a few min and you can tell it's done
now from your phone go to install
find the rom.zip and flash
you should be up and running

you seem very confused .. you can't flash any of these OTA like a rom it won't work !!
users using custom ROMs can't download latest OTA from HTC,
1) If you want to download and flash latest OTA, your device must have completely stock system partition and recovery. Every OTA update is checking MD5 of each file on system partition to ensure .apk patch can be applied. If even one of 1000 files won't match, OTA update installation will fail. In this case you need to flash the latest official update you can find (A RUU) (even one year old) and later download official OTA updates.

Have you all been able to unlock your bootloader again and flash your custom recovery after the update? And, does the Ota preserve your user data?

after i flash the IMG file to fastboot using ADB what do i need to do next? cause i don't know how to flash the update zip. When I was in the bootloader I tried to get into what I thought was the flashed stock. But it showed a black screen and it was just a picture of my phone with a circular arrow inside a circle. and i had to options before i flashed the RUU and went back to stock. the only one is "unlocked" so i still have S-Off? it doesn't say tampered

Stock HTC One, at&t, just updated to 4.4.2 yesterday morning (approx 11am EST).
I was able to successfully edit three pictures... The first, a simple rotate, changed the pic and ovetwrote the original. The second, also from a separate folder, I cropped a pic and saved it. This created a second image of the edited content. Finally, I edited a pic from the camera pic folder, which included crop and effects. This saved correctly as a separate file as well.

Below you will find instructions how to root this device.
The following procedure has been tested up to firmware MMB29K.J320AUSC2AQA1
KNOX should remain 0x0
However you undertake this at your own risk.
(NOTE: This procedure will also work for the SM-J320AZ (Cricket))
Issues:
Wifi passwords not remembered (fix below)
Stock Flashlight app not working.
Model number may be missing from build.prop (fix below)
Instructions
1.Download the eng boot image.
This is a special boot image normally used by engineers, it allows selinux to be booted in permissive mode with relaxed root restrictions.
Do not replace this image with the stock image after rooting your device or you will possibly soft brick your device.
(See below for how to recover)
ENG_BOOT_J320A_PG1
2. Flash the boot image:
Download Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the ENG_BOOT_J320A_PG1.tar to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
3. Install and run Kingroot:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/kingro...-release/kingroot-5-0-5-android-apk-download/
You may need to run Kingroot several times to gain successful root.
4. Install and run SuperSU me to remove Kingroot and convert to SuperSU (not required) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ore&pcampaignid=APPU_1_uzPDVbGyFcGNyATHrqmoCA
Alternative (free) method to replace Kingroot:
Follow Steps 3 to 12.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ide-how-to-root-tripping-knox-kitkat-t3129484
Don't flash the boot partition with Flashfire, uncheck.
You will also need to flash the system version of SuperSU not EverRoot.
When you get to step 12, don't flash the firmware. Disable EverRoot and just flash this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120
5. Wifi fix:
modify the line below in /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
6. Model number fix:
http://www.techgainer.com/change-fake-android-device-model-number-and-brand-name/
7. To fix “Unauthorized actions have been detected”
disable 'Security log agent'
Enjoy your rooted device.
Recovering from a soft brick:
Flash the stock firmware provided below wirh ODIN in the AP slot.

King root can be replaced with supersu me or the script. It can also be easily uninstalled via its settings.
What did you actually install?
My system went haywire. I need a command thru terminal on android to factory reset, can't boot into recovery.

You can't possibly have lost the recovery, nothing has touched it. It does take a short while for stock recovery to boot.

Reflashed Stock Firmware, regained access to recovery, factory reset and back up and running. i actually noticed some new features in recovery. i can actually apply update from sd now, whereas before i could not access files on sd, looks like dm-verity is also gone, or at least not showing up in recovery as before (maybe because it was a failed test) also the start up of the phone has skipped the initial set up (no add account or set up password) and the main screen is way more crisp and clear than what i had on before, even with the other 3 reflashes i have previously done. so far so good though

The model number missing is a known issue. You just need to edit the build.prop and put it back.

ok so the script is working but there is a different way
1. install kingroot 4.5 from apk mirror
2. Run script
3. update Su
4. update Binary
(i had to reinstall kingroot and deny kingroot root permission before binary would update and uninstall and keep root)
it seems denying kingroot root permission keeps the root on the device, letting su take over for root permission and uninstall of kingroot.
i know it seems weird but it works, the hang up was updating su, which you can do from google play

Hi. I am rather new to this, so please keep this in mind when I tell you what I have done.
I have a Huawei Y6 Elite. I unlocked the boot loader successfully and then tried to flash TWRP via fastboot. Somehow in this process I have flashed it to the boot partition. Now it boots to TWRP - ONLY. I can enter the recovery mode in the phone but that doesn't offer much.
The phone is NOT rooted.
Please, can someone offer me some kind of solution...??
Is it possible to flash the original firmware via TWRP and start again? If so, can someone PLEASE point me to a link to download it.
The firmware version I need is Huawei Y6 Elite LYO-L02 C718B123.
Any help would be appreciated incredibly. Thank you.
Follow this link.. Hope.. you will find your stock rom..

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------
And if you find the stock rom...
Then
extract the zip file which contains the rom. you'll find a folder name dload
send this dload folder to your sdcard's root directory
put the sdcard in your phone
now power on your device by pressing Vol+, Vol- and Power button at the same time.
it will start installing the official rom
Note: It will only work with Stock Recovery.
If you don have stock recovery then
Download Huawei Update Extractor
Extract the Recovery from downloaded UPDATE.APP in dload folder
put the recovery in your fastboot folder
flash the Stock recovery using fastboot
Thanks for responding.
I did follow the link and use the firmware finder, however I can't work out how to download any firmware versions.
Also I did not have any luck with the update extractor.
Is there a slightly more simplified way you can explain it. I can't seem to get my head around it.
Again, thanks for any and all help. It is greatly appreciated.

Hey sorry for such a delayed response.

Hi helijoy,
This might be quite late, but I can help you if you can give me your /system image. If you're certain you have TWRP on your boot partition, I can give you stock boot. To extract /system, go into TWRP>Mount, select System, make sure you have adb set up (google it if not) and do these commands (from adb):
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/system.img
exit
adb pull /sdcard/system.img C:/
(replace C: with where ever you want to save it to).
Then upload the file (system.img) to something like mega or google drive and post the link here.

Hi moonlighter,
Can you please link to which root checker app you used? Did you remember to open SuperSU first and upgrade binaries? If not, please do so. After that's done, clear data of the root checker and try again. Also, if possible, try another root checking app.

Hi moonlights,
As I already have said, ensure your SU binaries are up to date by opening SuperSU. And, if it's not too much to ask for, can you please go to TWRP, backup system and upload it somewhere? I was messing around with system and now I'm kind of stuck. It would be greatly appreciated if you could do this, as I have an an unusable phone.

Hi again helijoy,
Another thing you can do is go to TWRP>Backup and backup everything (if you don't have any space left, just do recovery, boot and system; does are the important ones). Take this backup, upload it to something like MEGA or Google Drive and post the link here. To get this backup, do the steps in TWRP, and then connect it to your computer. Open explorer, go to the phone in This PC, ang check both Internal Storage and MicroSD Card. It will be in the TWRP>Backups folder, and the folders name will have a date and time.just upload this entire folder and post the link here.
Thanks,
CyanicSword
