[Q] Mediapad X1 7D-501U B019 Wifi problems - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

Since the OTA upgrade from B017 to B019 ROM, wifi has been a real problem. The only way I can get it to work reliably is to set my router to use 11g rather than 11n.
Is everyone else having the same problem, or are others using wifi n successfully?
Does anyone have a link to the B017 official stock ROM? I may need to go back to that if I can't find a solution.
Thanks.

Which version did you start from? Does B017 really exist or you meant B007? Here you can download the different versions of Fw:

I'm talking about the stock Android 4.2.2 software - not that KitKat version with the 400dpi that breaks a lot of apps and messes up the layout.
B017 is the version that came out immediately before the current latest official B019 OTA update for the 7d-501u model.

Ops, sorry, you are right.
Unfortunately, it seems Huawei keeps only the last version of the Fw on its websites. Anyway, here another link with what you need.

I haven't tried it.

B020 seems to fix things
Just upgraded to the B020 software via an OTA update (yes, it's still 4.2.2 and the dpi is still 320). It does seem to fix the wifi issues I was having thankfully.

[Q] Help

Just one Question
i had rooted and flashed the touchscreen fix.
After updating my device wil the root and fix removed?
Yes. Updating your phone to the latest version of the OS from LG will replace the fixed kernel and undo the rooting process. Even worse, the updated versions of 2.2 are not rootable.
Update means - update from LG stock rom?

Yes. I think that the LG stock ROM is Android 2.2 and the updates that are available over-the-air are 2.2.1 (and maybe 2.2.2?) but those two are not rootable.
So is there any way to get android 2.2.1 without doing any normal update?
Noejn's custom ROM called "Prime" is based on v2.2.1.
This is the link to that thread, read it and see if you can flash the touchscreen fix over this ROM, then maybe it suits your needs.

[Q] Just got an OTA for spanish 4.1.2

Hey guys, I just did an OTA sw update (spanish official 4.1.2 rom, rooted & no other modifications).
Since it didn't contain any useful info other than it's a software upgrade, I'm confused about it. What did they upgrade for me? Was it rom related? I haven't noticed anything different about it so far.
Any info about it is welcome.

That 22 mb update will get you to LSD.
Thanks for the info!
Btw, just found out that the OTA has in fact failed, so I tried doing the upgrade via Kies. It went well, except for the fact the root has been removed by the update and I had to re-root. Also, the CWM I flashed a few days ago was gone too (but I used stock rom to root).
The changes I have seen with this update is only that my kernel now has a new build date (31. jan 2013).
can you post a review or comparison with your old rom (I assume it was LS8),

Well, I can't really post anything useful, since I was looking for "the perfect rom" from the moment 4.1.2 official appeared. Before that, I was on 4.0.4 official. The only real thing I've noticed (between this and all other roms I've tried out) is that I have a bit high battery drains if I keep WiFi turned on while at my office. I've figured it's something about the router itself (never use Apple made routers!), so I "fixed" it by not using WiFi at work.
Sorry for not being more informative, haven't really done any elaborate testing apart from noticing obvious things like battery drains. The only thing I can say for sure is - 4.1.2 >>> 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 official >>> custom roms for me.

My T-mobile S5 is on 4.4.2, should I update to 5.0?

I can't seem to get a clear answer searching the forums... I've been on stock, unrooted 4.4.2 for a while now and all is working fine. The OTA update (for 5.0) is sitting on my phone and I just keep delaying the install. I've been tempted to get one of the new ANDROID AUTO radios and in order to do so, I'll need to upgrade to Lollipop... But I keep reading about bad experiences with the tmobile 5.0 variant.
Anyone on tmobile stock 5.0 happy? Is everything working? Battery life good? Wifi not dropping?
For that matter, anyone on stock 5.1.1 happy? Does mhl still work?
I'm not super interested in rooting (I will if I have to) or running custom roms (I really need wifi-calling) -- just worried the stock OTA experience is borked.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

5.1.1 is noticeably quicker than 5.0 or below, however it has a major MHL bug, i.e. it does not work! Just purchased the MHL adapter (wasn't aware of what I was missing...it's awesome), but had to downgrade to 5.0 in order for it to work. My guess is a 5.1.1 bug fix ota is likely in the works....I hope. Anyway you can freely Odin flash between any firmware version for this device.
Thanks!
Updated to 5.0. Everything seems to be running smoothly... I'll hold off on 5.1.1 for a while until there's a bug fix.

Hi there guys,
Its been awhile since I've rooted a phone so my memory is rusty on a few things.
Firstly, I think I read somewhere in a tutorial that the OS I originally download the stuff to has to be windows based?
Then I have a few more questions,.
I upgraded to lollipop already but I dont think that will be issue, unless you say otherwise.
The alpha came out on the official release list for marshmallow.
Will the root interfere with my phones ability to receive that update?
Thanks!

No on the second question. Ive rooted my alpha on KK and when i try to manually search for update it says the system is modified and doesnt proceed to finding updates OTA.
I Just Run Same backup Command in Cent OS, I mean I didn't change the Date As Per we have to change... And after that I run Again Same command with current date. So it's that any effect on my Samba Server?

I couldn't get the OTA update too but It was for a different reason. I bought an Att and put it on t mobile right away. The OTA update came from Att's servers or whatnot. I brought my phone into the samsung stall at a bestbuy and they pushed the update through their. Have you tried something like that for yourself?

Can't downgrade after buggy upgrade to lollipop - MT2-L01

So I have upgrade the phone to the official lollipop version as suggested by xordos in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/mt2-l01-t3404063?nocache=1
Unfortunately Huawei made an awful job with this upgrade, there are too many unbearable bugs
Even worse, I do not know how to downgrade it back to kitkat. I've tried flashing the kitkat rom but I got a fail. On the web I've seen many instructions on how to downgrade the MT2-L03 but I cannot find anything regarding my MT2-L01
Any help appreciated, it's now been a few months with this buggy update and this phone is becoming a nightmare... google services don't work, I cannot install any app, sometimes the battery dies overnight and even the alarm is not working anymore...
Be careful, ROMs don't interchange with the different models, i.e. L03 doesn't work for L01.

Yes I know that... as I wrote I used a MT2-L01 specific ROM for android 5.1 (Update B850), but this system update is horribly buggy. Now the problem is I cannot normally go back just flashing an older date ROM... I get a FAIL screen.
