Good Morning XDA.
My client has the above mentioned Huawei media pad t1 s8 701u. and it is stuck in quite a serious boot loop. I have tried to go into recovery with Volume Down + Power button for 10s and I feel the vibration where after that I let go and just get met with the same boot loop, it is a South African tablet so either XFA/XFE and I was wondering if any of the amazing people here on XDA would be able to assist me in finding a stock firmware to re-flash the poor thing, I know that with many Huawei devices the bootloader is locked but all I want to do is reflash stock firmware to get this unit working again
I have found a site that gives the following instructions:
"1. Make sure you have backed up all your important data. All files, messages, images, videos, contacts etc.
2. Download the .zip file.
3. Unpack it on your Desktop. Copy the dload folder to your SD card’s root directory.
4. Turn off your Huawei. (Make sure your battery has enough power. Charge it if necessary.) Insert the memory card.
5. Press both Volume keys (VOL UP and DOWN) and then the power key until the software upgrade progress bar displays. Then you can release all keys.
6. Wait until the progress bar finishes and the phone restart.
7. Check firmware version in Settings > About phone / build number."
now while the site does post a firmware file I am not sure if it has the right CSC and builds for my home country (South Africa As stipulated above) is there an international/ unlocked firmware file available? if yes could i please be assisted in finding it as my googling has me running in circles now

EDIT: "adb reboot download" did it, Thanks to ionutz1122 at madteam.co !
I can't get my Canadian GT-I5500M into download mode ! All it does is power up into the stock Android 2.1...
I tried with and without charger PC connection. I tried with and without SIM. I tried after pulling battery for several minutes.
I do this:
(1) Press and hold Volume Down for 1-20 seconds. (On left underneath Volume Up)
(2) Press and hold Center Select for 1-20 seconds. (The Black part inside the silver ring)
(3) Press and hold Power / Call End. (Button at lowest right)
At this point I am holding 3 buttons simultaneously and haven't slipped, let go or touched any other button.
4 seconds after (3) I see "SAMSUNG".
8 seconds after (3) I see "GT-I5500M".
16 seconds after (3) I see the Samsung Galaxy/Stars graphic and the phone is on it's way to a normal bootup.
The only notable permanent changes I made from stock were to manually install some su utilities and SuperUser.apk. So the system partition was briefly read-write for this.
I believe some other Canadians have installed CWM etc successfully from the one single Android 2.1 ROM for Canada.
Am I doing something wrong or is this device/ROM protected somehow ?
Thanks !

I think Bell/Virgin Mobile must have modified the bootloader to prevent download mode. Now that CWM is installed, I can get to the download mode using the 3 button salute with no problem. But with the original, I couldn't get to it despite trying many different ways.
With the original I was able to get to download mode using the "adb reboot download" command ionutz1122 recommended.

i have same phone as u and have tried out every rom out there. id have to say madteams newest is the most reliable. Did you happen to use nandroid to backup your stock firmware first. this Canadian stock firnware is the only 1 in the world NOT on the net. have been looking for months.

Yes, I backed up everything CWM could. That doesn't include the baseband.
I up'd the baseband to JP2 and now I can't access voice or data. I can't see Bell, can only see Rogers.

I've tried z4root and the procedures from this forum for my phone MTS Mtag (Re-branded Huawei C8511 - India), but unfortunately it failed. Now I realize that, z4root v 1.3 can not root Android 2.2.2.
Waiting for an update of z4root.
SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse
i tried google "SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.zip"
& it works & can be unrooted if required
Me too finally rooted my MTS Mtag (Huawei C8511)
Me too finally rooted my MTS Mtag (Huawei C8511) with SuperOneClickv2.3.3 from the Developer Site ShortFuse.Org.

RE: Flashing Huawei C8511
To answer the original question
Its very easy lol
Download the firmware here - C8511 V100R001C96B638
Then extract to a folder of your choice.
Copy the 'dload' folder to the root of your SD Card.
Turn your phone off completely (I always recommend removing the battery for 30 seconds or so)
Press your volume up and volume down keys and hold, then the power key and hold.
Your phone should display the update screen - see here - Step 8.
Leave it to finish and restart (may restart twice so don't worry lol)
Your phone should now be restored to when you started messing with it
BTW - You will need to re-root and this will delete EVERYTHING so only use if you've bricked it or royally screwed it up
I rooted this phone and removed all carrierware. I am proud to say I am the first guy to modify this phone and start 1x/Evdo on this phone. I somehow cannot make it to remove carrier name. Tried a lots in framework-res.apk but phone firmware is getting crashed and re-install is mandatory. Huawei c8511 is a low activity unrecognized device, we cannot expect anyone to help.
I have searched and found out over 100 custom roms for MTS Mtag-301 (known as Huawei C8500s in China). Was trying hard to flash recovery to swap custom roms. Got a recovery tool which can flash recovery to Huawei C8511 in few seconds. The steps are given below.
1. Download CWM Recovery C8500s 4.0.1.5 (English)
2. Extract the contents to any folder anywhere.
3. Switch off your phone and restart to go to fastboot mode. Press power+volume down keys continously for 10 seconds till the boot logo stays continously.
4. Open the extracted folder and run recovery.bat (batch file), this process will take a max 3 secs and the handset will reboot, let it settle down.
5. Again switch off and press power+volume up keys together and cwm recovery menu should appear.
6. Comming soon.. 2.3.5 and 4.0.3 versions for MTS Mtag 3.1 (Huawei C8511)

So I'm trying to learn a little more about exactly what all these terms really mean, but when I was reading a guide about rooting the Huawei U8650 (Sonic), the first step was to flash the phone with the original ROM.
Now with all the big terms used and all the disclaimers about bricking your phone, I was just wondering what exactly this does. I currently plan to flash my Huawei U8651T (aka T-Mobile Prism) with the original ROM for Huawei U8650 because from what I've read, they are the same phone, except the U8651T has some tech upgrades compared to the U8650, so I just wanted to know exactly what would I be doing to my phone and what potential problems may arise.
Thanks
Edit: Here's the guide I was reading (Can't post the link, but here it is copy-pasted)
To root U8650 you should flash it with original Rom, Spanish devices dont need original rom to root dont know why it is but it is
ROM
It is necessary to download an official ROM
LINK
After you download it unrar it and dload folder copy to memory card
Path should look like \ dload \ update
to flash device you need to
turn it off
remove the battery for 5 seconds
put the battery back in
press the buttons "VOL +" + "VOL-" + "ON" (all three keys at once)
and will start automatic firmware upgrade
for 3-4 minutes cell is debranded
If you get error not found firmware that means that you did not put the firmware on the SD card like you should (I got it a few times) just off the device and repeat the procedure.
root
After flashing unbranded firmware we can throw at root
software needed for the root LINK
This is similar to debranding.
download root file
Put it on SD card
turn off the phone
remove the battery for 3 seconds
Press "VOL +" + "ON" (without the vol-)
When you open the "bios like" menu use the volume keys up/down to select the update from memory card called root
after this procedure just reboot the phone and you have rooted phone
Hi everyone on the internet I came across an interesting resource about to return to the stock rom Qualcomm
1.Download the stockrom you want via NAVIFIRM (Only large largest file Will Do)
2.Once dowloaded open * _boot.esco file as zip archive (the large largest file) and extract
3.Rename boot.img to bone-new.nb (can be what ever you want as long as. Nb) (also make sour you've unticked the "hide extensions for know file type" in control panel, folder options, view )
4.Then flash via NSS for flashing custom ROM Would you have any custom rom.
and do not forget to do a battery pull Effective flash and then put the battery back and,
i) Press and hold the Volume Down, Camera and Power buttons at the same time.
ii) When the phone vibrates release the Power button aim keep the Camera and Volume Down buttons Held up to Nokia Logo Appears
That and, you boot to stock ROM!
I would like to know if it works on a lumia 800 naked France (rm-801) the model is as follows (059M405)
confirm me if it is possible
My Bootloader is a Nokia DLOAD
Hi,
I bought lenovo tab 2 A7-10f for my brothers birthday.
After one week of using it he brought it back to me with words: I broke it.
He rooted (Kingo software) the Android system and than he cleaned some system apps which caused the crash of the system.
Now when I start it the boot stops in lenovo welcome animation and I can't get to boot mode anymore (pushing volume and start button) the system freeze in welcome screen with lenovo and android logo - no martian.
When I tried to connect by ADB the device appeared to be "offline" and I can't reach it.
Can you help me, please?

Start flash tool. load the scatter file. In above rom it is : MT8127_Android_scatter.txt
once loaded push download.
some files will go to your tablet. If flash tool quickly stops , power off your tablet, but leave the usb cable.
Once powerd off , flash tool will continue.
when het is finished , you will see this on your computer.
disconect and restart tablet.
2nd possibility : power off you tablet
hold 3 buttons. Poweron , + and -
when tablet vibrates , release powerbutton but do not release + and - button
now your tab will start in recovery. here the tab says : no command and you push the powerbutton to see the menu.
there you can choose : wipe data/factory reset
after reset choose to reboot.
if this factory reset does not restore you tab , you must flash the rom.
choosing with keys :
with - button you go down
with +button you select
with power button menu will show
Can someone help me with a link to the stock rom ?
Try SAMmobile.com (you will have to make a free account) when you have made your account click the firmware button at the top of the screen then type in your phone model number. For example SM-G361F the choose your country. Then in the filter box seach your network provider ie. O2 then click download. Once you have downloaded it unzip the file in a folder. Boot your phone into odin/download mode. Click BL or AP it dosent really matter then choose your file and wait for the blue bar on your phone to finish. Then it should restart
And should be stock rom. If your brick your device please note you have full responsibilty over your device. If you do mess up and brick your device just repeat the steps above.
Try resetting the phone from recovery.
Enter into recovery(use possible combinations of power+vol up or power+vol down or power+vol up+vol down) and factory reset the phone. This might help.

HERE YOU GO
I am not sure how this works but this is the downloable file any tablet tab 2 A7 10F gets when it's going to upgrade from kitkat 4.4 to lollipop 5.0 so I guess this will work on any of your tablets. This versión is supposed to be for latinamerica but It holds many languagues if any of you need others than Spanish or English.
