OK. So. I've been encountering nothing but problems since I received my Huawei Ascend P2 phone.
To begin with -
I bought the phone for the sole purpose of it being 4G/LTE. When I got it, I couldn't figure out how to get it, so I contacted Three and was told that my phone had to be 4.3 - it was running 4.1.2.
When I tried to get 4.3 through whatever means, it stopped working.
I tried to do a complete factory reset and now I'm getting many more problems -
I keep getting errors that anything Google related has stopped working (especially Google keyboard).
My contacts won't auto-sync, despite me having my Google account synced up with it.
The icons at the bottom of the screen (back, home, settings/whatever else) won't light up and the home button isn't working.
It's a different loading screen than normal - before it was a Huawei Ascend splash screen, now it just says "Android".
It is not being detected by my laptop whatsoever.
When I try and download anything using a browser, it says "starting download" but nothing works.
So, anyone have a solution? It is driving me demented. And all because I wanted bloody 4G.

I think we need some more info on the attempt to upgrade via whatever means. What steps / guide were you following? Did you install a custom rom? If so, what rom and what recovery are you using? From a few minutes of searching around, it seems that there is no official 4.3 update for the phone, and just being ON 4.3 itself will not automagically enable LTE service as this has much to do with the radio/baseband used as much as the actual operating system and that will not get updated via a custom rom (99.999% of the time unless SPECIFICALLY stated). Seems like they are working on an LTE capable update/patch for 4.1.2 soon according to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50495570&postcount=162 (that post is part of a thread about your phone on a UK carrier so should be pertinent).

Thank you for your reply.
I'll talk you through the steps I took as much as I can.
Firstly I rooted the phone using eRoot, which did work and allowed root access.
I then downloaded P2Tools, which was obtained from this thread and it allowed me to put CWM on it.
Once this was done, I attempted to put CM 10.2 on it, but kept getting a Status 7 error. Some quick Googling later, I discovered this video, which showed how to solve it.
When I followed the steps on there, I kept getting a Status 0 error.
That was when I started to encounter those problems, so I wiped everything I could, even system, but that part failed.
And that's about it.

K. So you are still on the stock rom, rooted, with CWM recovery (which version?), and after you attempted to wipe /system, it failed to wipe (what was the error message there?), and now it boots and has all kinds of weird glitches? First thing to try would be to go back to CWM and wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache and then Fix Permissions. This MIGHT help. If it doesn't then you will just probably want to throw a stock rom back on there to get back to running right again.

I've wiped the Caches and Dalvik Cache and can't seem to find "Fix Permissions". I did some searching and it seems this feature was removed from CWM? I'm running v6.0.3.7 of CMW.
When I try to format the system, it says
E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"
Error formatting /system!
Weird, they did take it out. Koush said it was a placebo. Which normally I would take as law, if it weren't for many times I have ran fix permissions and it caused apps that were force closing to not force close anymore. But whatever, if you wanna try, flash this: http://db.tt/9aWdF8Rp. It'll either help fix something, or do nothing. Won't make it any worse. If it can't mount to format though, it's either or a bug with CWM for your device, or after factory reset, reboot recovery and try again. But you really don't want to wipe /system unless you have a nandroid or another rom on your storage that is accessible.
Thanks so much for your help so far. Took me ages to figure out how to get that file on my phone, but I managed to do it. I then installed zip from recovery mode and chose the fix_permissions. Then reboot and it asked me to root the phone again. It's now upgrading and hopefully it will work now.
It is still saying "Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped" and other things. What do you reckon I can do now? You're right, it seems like I can't make it any worse.

Ok. So looks like first thing to check is to see WHICH version of the P2 you have because it seems like there are at least 2 different sub versions of it. The P2-6070 and the P2-6011. Please go to Settings / About Phone/Device and let me know all the software info there.
Also, have you unlocked the bootloader (I'm guessing so since you have recovery, but just checking)?
I found some more info on how to get you back up and running, but want to confirm the system version so everything goes as smoothly as possible. There's a new update that just came out not too long ago that people are saying LTE works on, so hopefully we can get you to that point.

Mine is the P2-6011.
Swear if we get this working, never changing anything ever.
Yes, the bootloader is unlocked.
Alright, so here is a link for the newest firmware for your phone :
http://huaweidevices.ru/ROM4221/P2/...R001C00B038CUSTC19D001_United_Kingdom_H3G.rar
Need to be on stock recovery. Unpack the rar file and put the whole folder /dload on the root of the SD card. This has the update.app that should take care of everything for you. Turn off the phone and turn it on by holding Vol + and - and Power together. This is supposed to boot it into the mode to take care of the update for you.
If you don't wanna go back to complete stock, I have another way that involves switching to TWRP recovery and restoring a rom via nandroid restore. If you'd prefer that, lemme know and I'll shoot you the links.

If I ever meet you I definitely owe you a drink. Did exactly as you said and everything (from what I can tell) is working.
It's one of the things I love about Android phones - unless you do some serious damage to it physically, for the most part it is fixable.
So, thanks button isn't enough - you saved me giving up and buying a new phone
*Hi Five* Glad all is well!
But yea, I do this for a living. Seriously. Helping people on here is how I stay sharp. lol
getting a gateway 504 error from link to firmware, would love to get this update working as i keep getting a notification on phone saying update available but it wont work

Can you post the link of the CM 10.2 rom For huawei P2.
I search for a long long time. but still dosnt found a rom.
Thx
Sorry for digging this up but does someone have the stock ROM of the P2? Im stuck like the fella who started this thread and havent found the stock ROM anywhere.
Thanks for the attention.
Hi,
I´m hoping someone is reading this and is willing to help me out.
I recently bought the ME102A and succesfully rooted it with Kingo. Yesterday I used the info from androtab.info to install the CWM recovery, which worked great! I then accidently wiped the ASUS ROM from the tablet, trying to install a custom ROM. I should have read better, seeing as there are no custom ROM´s yet for the ME102A. I the tried almost every option I can think of, trying to get the original firmware back on the tablet but to no avail. I've read countless of threads and sites, but have yet to find the solution for me.
I´m currently back to stock recovery, unable to use the tablet. I can only boot into Android system recovery. I tried to install the custom CWM image found in this thread, as well as the stock image found on adrotab.info. I´ve seen almonst every error mentioned on this site and on others, like the "assert failed" and the "<waiting for device>" as well as "Installation aborted"...
I'm at a loss and am hoping some of you good folks can help me bring the life back to my tablet. It's not my first time flashing ROM's so I understand some of the basics (although reading apparently isn't my strongest point...) and can work a little with ADB and FastBoot etc. I have however no understanding of RKAndroidTool and the likes. But I am willing to try almost everything at this point...
Regards, Arie
If you are still around I ran into a very similar problem today and managed to bring the memo pad back to life. It may not be exactly the same problem you had but I would be more than happy to help if you are still around
This is basically what i managed to do
Issues on current version
official update cannot be installed. you need to modify updater-script as follows
remove
assert(getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "XX");
replace
write_raw_image(package_extract_file("YYYY"), "ZZZZ");
with
package_extract_file("YYYY", "/dev/block/platform/emmc/by-name/ZZZZ");
(it seems it needs more fixes for OTA update...)
touch(swipe) does not work.

Hey folks. Found several threads with similar questions, but none for this device.
I've had my TF201 for around a year now, more or less. In the last month or two I managed to flash CyanogenMod onto it in order to effectively emulate KitKat. Recently however I've decided that in the long run I much preferred the native Asus image for a number of personal reasons.
I'm having serious issues reverting to the stock ROM. I'm using the recovery image found on the second page of this thread. This is the only one I've managed to get operating at all - I tried the 5.8.3.4 version from the CWM site, but it doesn't seem to boot at all.
I attempted to install the stock ROM from the Asus website (I bought the tablet in Canada, so I've tried both the US and WW versions), but I keep getting the following error:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/blob", "staging")
E:Error in data/media/0/Download/WW_epad-user-10.4.2.18.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I've done plenty of Googling, but haven't been able to find anything of much help - this thread doesn't seem to apply to TF201 anymore, and most of what else I read tells me to try with other recoveries, but none of these recoveries seem to work. The one I linked to above is the only one I've been able to actually get to boot.
I'm at my wit's end with this. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, or what else to try. I'm at a loss. I'd greatly appreciate anyone who could walk me through successfully restoring my tablet to its original state.
(Moto E XT1526 Sprint US.) There has to be a way to do this!! I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and all was good. Then I mistakenly disabled my Wifi with an app and couldn't turn it back on. So not having done this before I made this mistake of wiping everything including ALL OS & system files via TWRP. Now there's nothing at all to work with besides TWRP. I've tried every stock ROM Ive found and have ran into multiple error messages. Ive been transferring each new ROM I can find to an SD card from a different phone and trying to install that way. I was hoping to get it back to the stock firmware now or really anything that will work. Every stock one I try gives me this message. Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file. If not this error message then there will be something wrong every time. Is there anyone that can tell me where I am going wrong please? Maybe another approach possibly? I cant get this figured out yet.!

Are you sure the rom files you downloaded are meant to be flashed in twrp? I suggest you read the guide to restore stock firmware, you can find them on general forum
here you can find firmware for your phone https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto E (2nd gen-2015)/Stock/
Hello,
I tried flashing a custom ROM on my samsung galaxy S7 (by the way I've already done this successfully, although I clearly don't know as much as I should).
Firstly I was getting the Error 7 and "your device is ." I did fix that by deleting lines in the updater-script of the ROM. It seems that this has worked, but I couldn't get out of twrp to test it. At first I thought it was an error with my ROM, so I just tried loading the backup I'd made before, but I still couldn't get out of twrp. And there I am, I can't go in download mode, or even power off, it just puts me back in twrp.
I tried updating twrp from a .img but it just didn't work and I'm still in 3.3.1-0. Very strange.
I don't know much of the science behind this, please explain me, I don't want to brick my phone...
Thanks to anyone who tries to help.
Nevermind ?, I just did an adb reboot, got out of recovery, and my backup was applied so... I guess I won't install that custom ROM. I don't know why I had this problem, but I solved it anyway.
