Just received a new update for Huawei MediaPad M5 8.
SHT-AL09 8.0.0.180
GPU Turbo
:good:
View attachment 4599507

Hopefully the 10.8 version is close to release

B185 is out on EU model. But how to update on unlocked BL, rooted device that's running AOSP?
Obviously need to flash rooted ramdisk extracted from the 185 full download, but what else???

But I cannot find the Game Suite app after installing it (GPU Turbo) on MediaPad M5 8.
Mate 10 has Game Suite app after installing the GPU Turbo firmware.
Huawei forget the app?

If you mean return back to stock firmware, you just need to reflash the stock system image.

No, I really can't stand what Huawei have done to Android, everything feels alien compared to normal Android on my Pixel 2.
I have been running AOSP stock on it, but I want to update the treble base system. So it's running the newer drivers and such. from B185.
Guessing I need to flash vendor and recovery partitions, but unsure what else.

[ROM][HUAWEI OFFICIAL BETA][7D-501u]KitKat 4.4.2 / EMUI 2.3 / 320 DPI

Below is the latest Huawei Official KItaKat Beta for 7D-501u (3G Mediapad X1 aka Honor X1 in China).
Main characteristics of this ROM are 320DPI and a whopping 1.4-1.5GB of free memory after boot.
Initial feedback by Chinese users is positive.
YMMV
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...g0/v15243/f2/full/7D-501uV100R002C553B001.zip
If you encounter problems running this beta, 'fraid not, just download the latest official 501u ROMs from Huawei and flash it back.

Is it even possible to flash 501U ROM onto 503L?

Sorry, my bad, i copied some of the contents from my 503L thread, already corrected the mistake (the links were the correct 501u ROMs though).
To answer your qn, it is possible to flash 501u ROM onto 503L, but that would be pointless as LTE will almost certainly not work.
Anyone has tried this rom? Really need feedback before jumping in.
Does it come with google play and other necessary google stuff?

definitely no google services 'pre-installed' in China ROMs (all the 3 above are China ROMs).
u can however 'wake' them up by removing /cust/channel/XXX_XX_XX/xml/UNSTALL_APK.XML (/XXX_XX_XX is the only folder inside /channel; its name may vary from ROM to ROM)
will update the thread if i can find international version of 501u ROMs.
I successfully flashed it at the second time with another bigger rom download.
I can say that it is not worth of flashing because font size is very small and chrome is not compatible totally with phone page.
So, I decided to flash back to C233B010.
Don't waist your time.
any good for this rom? I'm running the 4.4.2 400dpi imui 3.0 which has two annoying issues:
1. can't set Nova Launcher as a default launcher
2. it is mobile UI, not tablet-optimized ui as in official 4.2.2 imui 2.0.
Does it has the above two issues?
How is it different from the 400dpi one? (already root, solve the google+ things).
Hi,
I'm running the 4.4.2 emui 3.0 400dpi from the below xda post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-mediapad/general/rom-kitkat-4-4-2-emui-3-0-400-dpi-t2925015
rooted it with iroot, solved the google+ compatibility as suggested in this board, now all incompatible apps are compatible.
My only problem is I hate the mobile UI on this 400dpi rom (prefer the tablet UI as in the official rom b020/b021, or, I guess, on any 320dpi rom).
I intend to update the rom to the one post here (320dpi). I've tried several times without success. It recogized my update file and after it spent some time loading the file on the updating display, it reported failed every time. What I did was creating dload folder, put the update.app into it with some other small files I brought from this 400dpi upgrade; or from other roms.
I also downloaded and tried updating with the official kitkat 400dpi (international rom, B102) from Huawei Germany website, it also failed at the same point (the display which has big EMUI banner)
I tried both on 32gb class 10, and 4gb class 4 microsd card.
Anyone had experience in updating your X1 (7D-501u) from 400dpi to 320dpi? What small files you put inside and outside dload folder (please share those files)? Any tips would be really appreciated.
I've flashed this rom 2 days ago and I'm very pleased by its performance. after removing huawei chinese bloatware it has more than 1.5gig of free ram!
compare to previous rom I'd have (EMUI3.0/400dpi/b002) it is very smooth and fast
the UI is not as polished as EMUI3.0 but not a single lag. the wireless is very stable too
however I have 2 problem with that
1. battery is not as good as B020 or B021 (I think google services make it worse)
2. double-tab-wakeup does not work (like other 4.4 roms)
@bthoven
I've flashed this rom over b002 by use of a cfg file from B010 zip file
not a single problem

OTT m8s amlogic s812

can i download rom and Flash of
m8s+ firmware for m8s
kindly suggest me
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Forums
apparently you can, however you will have problems with your wifi (IIRC) - from what i've gathered so far these things can be temperamental and if you've got a clone unit you may run into trouble
I have one of the M8S S812 OTT boxes and want to replace Android with Openelec. I have found a few .zip file ports of Openelec but I am stuck at the first hurdle. My particular box is crippled by intent as it doesn't have ADB developer settings in its Android settings menu and additionally it doesn't seem to have an Android recovery Partition. I was hoping there might be a simple Android based tool to install a version of TWRP (which I have found two compatible versions). The surprising thing is it is ROOTED by default.
I confirmed this state of affairs by installing some boot to recovery apps which simply reboot the box. Is there a way to do this via SSH which I can probably get setup.
My motivation is two fold, the box is to be used purely as a TV client and MPG2 decoding is marginal so removing the CPU overheads of Android can only help.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have succesfully upgraded firmware using SDcard from here:
https://www.entertainmentbox.com/latest-m8s-firmware-download/
It comes included with their own version of Kodi(EBMC) 16.1
M8S runs better than original rom and works flawless. (update OTA works again)

I grabbed that but didn't install it successfully. Its an OTA update which don't work with TWRP. I might have to work out how to restore the Android recovery partition so that I can try this with OTA firmware.
Cheers for the heads up, now how to get the recovery partition back without flashing a whole new firmware img file.
Shoog
Snabbletax, can you tell me which version of Android this ROM contains. Its only going to be worth updating if it is Lollipop.
Edit: I attempted to get this working on my box but it failed the signature test. I am going to have to reload TWRP and recover my last backup since it did pick up another ROM which took me way back to square one.
I suspect that the only upgrade path for me is to find a full ROM img file to burn - but there are none of those about.

You can't flash the firmware of a different phone to yours. You need to build a rom from source with the device tree of your device. That's the way it works.

Ok, seems you don't understand how Android works.
You can't install another rom on your device cause the drivers inside the rom are not suitable for your device and it's not like installing windows on any PC which has universal drivers.
No, Android roms has only one set of drivers for one device.

no matter which update method I use, I can't install Android 10, I tried various files from this thread but the effect is always like in the attached photo,

Check fail (bootloader) Device 7 Binary 6

I'm using the SM-A505FN version but yesterday in sammobile firmware list, I saw that on SM-A505F One UI 3.0 already available so that I try to install the version but I didn't know that it will give me huge trouble. While installing in Odin stuck for 1 hour. Then I realize maybe it's a version difference. So reboot the device and then I saw this error.
I saw a few forum posts that if I flash again with Odin it will be solved but it won't. Because those ( SM-A505F ) versions changed my kernel from 6 to 7, Now I can't install any downgrade firmware and my phone stuck at this error. When I try to install the regular firmware it's giving me another error which is " Check fail (bootloader) Device 7 Binary 6 " Now I can't install anything. Is there any way to solve this problem until One UI 3.0 hasn't released for my model? Like using TWRP or any custom recovery?
Hi, ma friend!
Try to flash the latest firmware for your device model and region, but load only AP, CP and CSC files by skipping the BL (bootloader - leave it blank).
Device 7 binary 6. Means no, your device bootloader is newer than your package/binary your attempting to install. I don't know how to fix that. I've heard of cracked versions of Odin that won't do version checking for some devices but I never got one to work because the phone rejects it, not Odin. Maybe if you had a backup of the entire phone you could dd the entire nand. I think your best bet is trying different roms with One UI 3.1. Good luck.
There is Android 11 with One UI 3.1 update for FN models in Poland (XEO). You can download it and flash it. I've already done it.

I want to go back to Android 9, currently my A50 is using Android 11, which is binary 7 and Android 9 is binary 5.
I want to use Odin. You said to just deselect the bootloader installation, so I don't need to activate either USB debugging or OEM unlocking?

I don't think it is possible for now. After updating to Android 11, the bootloader won't let you install any ROM below Android 11. You can downgrade by installing a custom rom using custom recovery like TWRP.

My phone model is SM-A505GT, it looks like this ROM was not made for this model.
I'm going to search ROMs for my phone model. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
