I bought a Mediapad X1 from China via AliExpress.
I cannot make anything from a limited Chinese ROM.
Anybody who has international ROM or can extract it from the international version, please help!

The international version hasn't been released yet... I bought mine (4G version) through Lenteen from Hong-Kong, and everythings works fine ! I installed google apps, rooted my phone
I know that Huawei was supposed to release it at the end of may in France but any news nowhere on the web... none even from Huawei themself !
So we just have to wait and see...

Does it sync your Google contacts correctly? If so, what did you need to do to get that working?

Thank you for the reply, some questions:
1. So, yours is also a Chinese version?
2. Please post the link for rooting.
3. After rooting, install the GApp, version for 4.2.2? And then we can go for anything, like Nova launcher?

When the phone reboot, after you renamed the file, gapps are automatically installed by the phone.. You don't have to use recovery mode at all !!
And for now, i'm not sure that CWM is available for this model... I think i saw it on a chinese forum but when i translate it's too messy and i have to be registered on this forum to download it so... we have to wait that someone make a post here in english with th e CWM in download...

Okay, I see the point, we just install portions of Google apps we need, starting with play store, the any thing you need.
I do hope we'll have CWM, or at least hardware ways to boot into download and recovery mode.
The KitKat may be far from reality?

We'll get Kikat firmware on this phone for sure, we just have to wait from Huawei to rolling out this version.
It's not portions of google apps as when you do this procedure i explained, ALL the gapps are installed automatically on the phone.
Basically, Huawei made a script in the phone for not allowing these apps to be installed, but when you rename this file, the script is no longer available, then all the gapps are installing after the next reboot !
Mediapad X1 7D-503L
The only deference is the directory:
/ cust / channel / charm_china_l / xml / ( charm_china_l not charm_china_u)
and i use the command as su
mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /cust
because when It try to rename the UNSTALL_APK.XML I take the error "Read-only file system"
thanks
X1 undetectable by the PC
I have GApps Syncing quite fine without rooting, except the contacts sync which is missing from the sync list. I see your steps are very straight forward, but unfortunately my X1 is not recognized by the PC, although I've installed HiSuite from Huawei website. I've also tried to install Huawei device driver for X1 from this site, but still unrecognized. Accordingly GeniusRoot is unable to detect and root my X1.
I'm Win 8.1 (both 32 and 64 bits), and I've tried to do all these procedures with Compatibility model for Win7, run as administrator, yet the X1 is till not detected by the PC.
Also USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options.
Any idea what's the reason for this?
More info about my version:
Baseband: 21.529.00.00.000
Kernel: 3.0.8-01317-gcd83a45 [email protected] #1

OK I managed to figure out the solution
Used Root File Manager to rename and voila!! Renamed the file, restart device and got all the Google stuff setup on the phone
Now there is this second problem which is a big pain in the arse
I can't add a second Google account on the phone to get all my contacts..........
Under settings -> accounts -> add account -- there is no option to select "Google" !!!!
Have anyone also face this problem and is there any solution??
Thanks in advance for the help
Guys, you do not need root or tricks to install Google stuff.
Open the Huawei app market. Search for Google. Click on the big Google banner at the top of the page. You get a dedicated page of Google stuff. There you have download links for play store, all the Google apps, and if you can figure out a little Chinese, calendar sync and contact sync software too.

I can confirm this is true. I did a search for "gms" rather than Google - tap on the big link you get at the top of the results page, which takes you to a page of all the Google apps and services, and install everything! (You can always uninstall what you don't need later). No root required, and everything is syncing properly - calendar, contacts, tasks etc. Super easy.

Danny here's how to fix it, and u don't need root
if u have rooted and edited the unstall_apk.xml, best is download and flash the stock ROM first:
http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=20241 (click 立即下载 on the right)
u can also ignore it but all preinstalled google apps will become system apps, and if u've deleted some huawei bloatware u might not be able to OTA update latest B006 firmware
All the Google stuff can work perfectly even can add multiple Google accounts. Best thing is, u don't need root. Here's how:
1) Go to app centre - all - brand and look for the one with 谷歌 (sorry I've updated app centre and it might be different if u haven't update)
2) Download 联系人同步服务, 日历同步服务, Google Playstore, Gmail and Google plus. The rest can be downloaded from playstore
3) After install, open either playstore or gmail and sign in
At this stage, Google is already setup properly with contacts sync just it cannot add multiple Google accounts. Workaround:
4) Open Google plus. Settings - add account
And voila. The phone is perfect now
There's also an OTA update for the LTE version which updates your phone firmware to 7D-503LV100R001C233B006
Cool new features includes double tap screen on, some control over notification flash light for messages and background battery optimization :good:
Main objective: Find any way to enabling application transfer from internal storage to external storage.
The device has 16 GB of internal memory, which is definitely not enough to use additional applications. It looks like the option to transfer apps from internal storage to external storage for this particular model is forbidden. This situation makes it practically impossible to use this device any longer. I have tried many ways to resolve the problem. Unfortunately i failed. Therefore, I am asking for help from specialists from this forum if there is any way to make it possible way to do this taking into consider the inability to obtain the code from the site, which I am writing about below.
What i have tried already:
Enabling programmer mode and therefore changing the option that is blocking transfer to external storage. Unfortunately switching is not possible in this case. Enabling this option automatically forces return to the previous state.
Installing applications that are supposed to enable such transfer. Most of them are crap and scam.
Attempting to upgrade system with a built-in option and with Hi Suite. There is no option to upgrade firmware or downgrade by using this options.
Attempting to upgrade system with Firmware Finder for Huawei. I don't think I can get anything more than just downloading the firmware using this app. The idea was to force the installation of a newer version of the operating system by forcing some changes in the built-in updater.
Root and open firmware attempts:
At first, I was looking for a way to gain root access with the app available (kingRoot, KingoRoot etc.). Neither of them worked
I tried to install custom recovery. I turned on usb debugging, disabled the OEM lock and I was able to set the connection to the device.
When I tried to upload a custom recovery I got a message saying that this method is forbidden.
I was looking for information about the problem and so I found out that the botlooader is locked and that I need a special key to unlock him.
Next I found information that it is possible to obtain this key using paid applications and I'm skeptical about them.
Another option was to try to get this code from the manufacturer. It turned out that it was actually possible, but for some time Huawei as a manufacturer no longer provides these codes, which was confirmed to me by a person employed on the HelpDesk hotline.

I just lost several hours to understand and find the way to the "manufacter mode" on a tablet !
For those looking how to: launch the calc app and enter ()()2846579()()

Sorry, it wasn't mine, I don't have it anymore.
As I remember, It was the stock calc app, in landscape mode in order to have the "()" but that's all.
But the firmware is very important: it should be Android 7, and not the 8 (I don't remember the exact firmware version).
This said, I wasted my time rooting this tablet, it's pretty useless. Apart removing two stock apps and installing AdAway, I was not able to do much more. Unfortunately, there are no custom rom to give a new youth to device.
I got all the prerequisites, try to flash twrp in recovery but get the error: the partition table doesn't exist. Is there any solutions for this?
I bought a Changan CS75 Plus Smart 2023. I tried to connect my Android phone to the car Radio Head unit using CarAuto (Global) App. But I could not download any Android Apps to the system. Can you help me with that Please?

What is the code or number to get into the Android system of the Changan CS75 Plus 2023.
Thank you for your help, consideration, and Cooperation.
