Hey Guys,
Im very new to the whole "Tablet World", I actually just purchased a T-Mobile Springboard via Ebay.
I have not yet recieved the tablet as it should arrive sometime this week, but I have been doing some research so that when it gets
here im not totally in the dark.
It is the 7"model and I believe it currently has HoneyComb installed on it, I would also assume it is locked under the Tmobile Network.
Since I live in Canada I would have to get it unlocked to be able to use it.
OK so here are all my questions...
Where can I get it unlocked, or could I do this myself somehow with software.
I want to install the most recent version of ICS ( I think its 4.0.3), would that require that I root my device?
If so can anyone send me the link to the download and instructions.
Does rooting the device cause any ill side effects? You know with the good comes some bad..lol
I was reading some people were having issues with certain things after the root.
I would love to be able to Text, make phone calls as well as browse..
is this all possible, if so how?
Thanks you guys are the smartest..

OK unlocking. First you will need your new sim. Then pop in the sim and it should bring up the sim unlock menu (it varies between 3.2 and ICS). Then load up tmobiles chat on the web site and ask to unlock the unit. They will unlock the unit as long as its paid off.
For ICS you can down load it directly from H unrooted:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...thod=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0);
FIRMWARE(S7-301u,Android4.0,C232B005,General_Channel)
You can download rooted roms here. they are 99% untouched, im running the OsiMood which just has some stock apps removed, and the charging icon is text instead of a battery.
You shouldnt have any issues with a rooted rom. The only issues are with the cm9,AOKP and the ones with custom kernels.
You can text,talk,data on ICS only, and only if you are not on tmobile. You would have to be on att straitTalk or any other carrier. Tmobile is the only carrier thats says no no to all 3 on a tablet, at least in the usa. Tmobile gives you a choice of text/voice, or data only.
Thanks
Thanks a lot man.. I really appreciate any help I can get, and for you guys to take time out of your day to help someone out is great.
Ok so..it still didnt arrive..(getting impatiant) lol I guess its gotta go through Customs..
hmm.. ok so your saying I can download ICS directly from Huawei, will that work fine since its actually a Springboard and not a MediaPad.
Whats the difference between ICS and ICS rooted? Do I need to root, benifits?Which would be best and why?
If I need to root where are the links for the newest ICS rooted on XDA?
I wouldnt be with Tmobile, since there isnt any in Canada..
I already bought a SIM from Petro Canada Mobility
I was told It was best for cheap plans with unlimited Browsing, the only thing was that for data only applications that run through port 80 would work. The trick was to get a proxy app through Google Play and run all your shiat though port 80.
Makes sense?
Thanks!!
Ya I sent the link to the oem vesion. Tmobile puts their own rom on it and calls it a springboard.
Root gives apps more acess such as backups, or changing ui features.
The 2 latest roms are hwmod and osimood. They are about the same.
Cant help you with the proxy things

I went to the HUAWEI site and why would I go with HUAWEI MediaPad FIRMWARE(S7-301u,Android4.0,C232B005,General_Channel) ?
isnt there even newer ones?
there are like 5 above that one, like HUAWEI MediaPad FIRMWARE(S7-302u,Android4.0,C232B001,General Channel)
whats the difference
and how do i install it
You might want to wait a few days to see if T-Mobile makes good on their promise to push out ICS in an OTA update to the Springboard. You will be able to receive the update over wi-fi no matter which carrier you are running it on. It would save you some hassle in flashing international ROMs. Also I can vouch for the fact that the international ICS ROMs have some radio stability problems on the Springboard hardware - connections may freeze unexpectedly.
In terms of carrier compatibility in Canada:
- In theory the Springboard *should* work on Videotron, Wind and Mobilicity because it has the AWS HSPA band. Mine doesn't and I don't know why. It just won't connect with a WIND or Mobi SIM (haven't tested Videotron). It might be because I flashed an international ROM with a different radio.
- The Springboard has 1900 MHz HSPA but not 850. If you are going to use it on the Rogers network (which includes Rogers, Fido, SpeakOut and all their MVNOs), you will get a 3G/H signal in urban areas where 1900 MHz is used. In many locations though, their 3G service may be only on the 850 MHz band (which the Springboard can't access), in which case it will drop down to EDGE.
- If you try and use it on Bell, Telus or their sub-brands, you will get 3G/HSPA in urban areas, but in locales where the service is only on 850 MHz, you will get no signal at all. Bell/Telus has 3G/HSPA and LTE but no 2G/EDGE, so if you can't pick up the signal, it just drops.
S7-301u,S7-302u,S7-303u are the radio bands not firmware versions. 303u is the t mobile band, most people use the 301u. Just because firmwares came after it doesnt mean they are newer. 2 of the newer ones are just fixes for german and russian versions.
Wait for the offical tmobile version in the next few weeks, or download the version i told you.
To flash is easy:
unzip the file onto the root of your sd card
reboot the spring board
it will run the update, then tell you to remove the sd card
remove sd card
reboot system
either plug the sd card back into the spring board and remove the zip folder, or pop the sd card in a flash card reader and removed the zip folder with a pc
If you reboot the springboard again without removing the zip folder, it will reinstall again.
I just received mine today and want to try ICS. If I flash this FIRMWARE(S7-301u,Android4.0,C232B005,General_Channel) will I be still able to receive the official t-mobile version via OTA? How do I backup the stock rom?
Cant backup the original rom. Cant get the OTA if you flash the factory(non tmobile) ICS rom.
Sorry thats how it rolls. If we are slightly lucky someone will grab the OTA for us flashers and we will be set. Or H will release a 303 firmware to work with all the tmobile channels.

Thanks for the heads up. If I gone ahead and flash FIRMWARE(S7-301u,Android4.0,C232B005,General_Channel) will I still be able to use 4G/3G for tmobile? I understand that I can also use gsm voice/text with this firmware is that correct?
voice/text/data has to do with the carrier. att lets you do it, tmobile wont, its not about the firmware.
In your area you will either flash the 301 or the 302 firmware. They are the same other than what band they run in. They havent comes out with a 303 factory firmware yet.

Ok.. Well I have had the device a couple days now and just been fooling around with it.
Now I would like to get this all in motion.
My question is, If I go with ICS from HUAWEI website, can I still root the device? and do I do that after or before.
and how?
I think I need to root it to run a Proxy program to run everything through port 80, which is what Petro Canada Mobility(Rogers) leaves open on Unlimited Browsing Plan.
Also in the instruction, you said put it in the "root" , what you mean by root, and thats on the micro sd right?

Go to the huawei mediapad root thread on the development section, go to the link in the post number 28 (to modaco). You root it after updating the pad.
wtf
Ok well the Huawei site is F****** useless..
the download is terrible, goes superslow, and then when you try to extract to F: the **** is all corrupted..PDF doesnt work either

I don't know the current situation (since they revamped the site), but I've never got corrupted download. The last time I download stuff from there was when the ics source came out.

This Is starting to really bother me.. I tried like 4 sources and everyone boots and then stops durring update and says FAIL.
WTF?
I have failed once when trying to install a new firmware which turns out to be corrupted download (the firmware was one of those pre-rooted firmware). I also read someone failed many times and turns out the problem is in their sd card. If you have a spare sd card, you probably can try putting the firmware there or if you don't mind formatting your current card then you can also try that.

Ok so here is the update.
I got 301u ICS General up and running, just curious on why I installed 301u over 302u. Which is better for my region (Montreal , QC) would be on Rogers network?
Because I have been having issues getting connected to network, wondering if I maybe installed wrong firmware.
Anyway, next step is to root.
1) Download Huawei MediaPad ROOT ICS Android 4.0.x.rar
2) Connect the tablet to your PC, install the driver.
3) In the settings of the tablet enable debugging by USB .
4) Unpack the archive.
5) Run the Install Root.cmd wait three reboots.
Ok, I downloaded the file to my Laptop, Im just confused on step 4 and 5 so I have stopped until I find out more informaion because I do not want do to it wrong.
"Unpack the Archive"? could someone maybe expand on this limited explanation. Do I extract the file to desktop or directly onto the tablet and same with running Root.cmd where do I run it from?
can someone please maybe explain the steps better then they were, I ve seen better instructions written on a carton of milk on how to open it, then this.

I don't know about the better firmware, but since I'm using 301u pad with 301u firmware I haven't got any problem.
As for rooting.. Step 4 is extracting the file in your pc/desktop. Step 5 is running the install root.cmd while the pad connected to the pc.
please help me.

So I just got a new moto e 2nd gen just a few days ago.
Currently running 5.0.2.
Hardware SKU XT1511.
As far as I understand the 5.1 OTA came out a few months ago, correct?
But when I go to the system update, it just says "Your device's software is up to date"
What's going on here? Is there a link to download the ota zip so I can just run adb and flash it myself???
Sent from my MotoE2 using XDA Free mobile app
Same thing happening here, but with XT1526 I live in another region, so I don't know if that has anything to do.
For what it's worth, I live in the USA and purchased this device brand new from best buy just a few days ago.
So yeah, not sure what is going on with the update.
This phone is the 3G version, the retail US model that has LTE connectivity is the one with the 5.1 update.
This phone model has been seemingly neglected by Motorola, this thread in the Motorola Forum has info about the updates of the Moto E 2015, no updates at all for the 3G model
I just purchased the XT1527 LTE model off Amazon for $100 for my grandma to use instead of her crappy ZTE flip phone. She is on my aunt's AT&T 60GB plan for her small business and when the phone first arrived, I signed into her Google account and got everything setup but when I tried to pull the 5.1 update, it wasn't getting it yet and said it was already up-to-date with 5.0.2.
Later that day we finally went to the AT&T store to get a SIM put in it and her number transferred over, but still, no 5.1 update for it yet.
Does anyone know why my XT1527 model can't pull the update yet? I thought for sure it would have been able to pull it when I first turned it on, before even getting the SIM for it.
Is there anyway for me to manually install the OTA without unlocking the bootloader or flashing TWRP or are we just stuck waiting?

Same thing here. I'm not getting 5.1 or any other update. XT1527 from Amazon. System version is 22.36.1.surnia_retus.retus.en.US Build LXI22.50-24.1.
Kernel is dated Feb 7 2015. Does anybody know why this is happening? Sorry to bump an old thread but I firmly believe this is relevant today.
By the way, I contacted Motorola support but they gave me a nonsense answer (i.e. that my phone is fine as it is with no 5.1.)
I have the XT1528 model and it says I have 5.1, but my phone still seems to be affected by stagefright 2.0. I assumed that 5.1 would fix that problem, but I am worried Motorola isnt even going to fix the issue.
That guy earlier said look at the link to see who is getting the 5.1 update rollup.
Don't expect to get it if your not only the list.
Also i seen myself that there was more than 1 stage fright update for 5.0.2
because there was more versions of the exploit that needed to be patched as time went on.
SO there was separate stage-fright updates for 5.0.2 and 5.1 respectively.
in other words you did not have to have 5.1 installed to get stage fright patched with an update.
They probably did that because they know most carriers are not pushing out 5.1 to their customers.
Which leads me to my next point..
It's not up to Motorola..
They can offer the update to any specific carrier but it's up to the carrier to decide if it is rolled out to customers.
It's been a long time now and most carriers did not get the 5.1 update.
It is doubtful i think anyone new is going on that list of who gets it.
For example my carrier in Canada Telus never rolled it out.
I had to get a stock firmware package for another carrier for 5.1 and put it on myself.
I chose to use the generic USA Retail Firmware package.
All has worked well but my phone model is suppose to be using LTE/cdma (surnia_umts)
But i have struggled to get it back on cdma.. with nobody out there with any suggestions on how to fix it.
Had i not tried to switch it over manually to GSM after install i would have given up.
Luckily my Carrier Telus supports CDMA and GSM.
I only found 1 guy who left a comment i seen way back saying he fixed his radio issue
by having his stock 5.0.2 Radio left intact then flashing all else to update.
That did not do me any good.. i have tried many variations with no difference.
I can confirm i was getting a new recent stage fright update OTA prmpt.
And there was a new updated firmware package shared recently that included this newer update.
I installed it and used a Stagefright checker App that scanned for about 10 variations of the exploit
and my phone was reported by the app as safe. (patched)
This version was just recently put on the web by someone..
XT1527_SURNIA_RETUS_5.1_LPI23.29-18.9_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
MD5: 586d4a4888a570e6119c60d7437b6bcc
It has this OTA patch update integrated..

It's not getting Stagefright patches either. Regarding the carrier, XT1527 is factory unlocked, which means it's not tied to a specific carrier.
Motorola should provide the updates since they say they do have a 5.1 update on their support site.

Don't count on what i am saying i am a noob eh..
But yeah i think you can just flash that version i did.
Even if your bootloader is locked.
From the sounds of it i think that firmware i used on my Telus carrier phone
was actually originally intended for YOUR phone !
And 4G LTE Switch app?
Hmm no i have not seen that.. i should check it out thanks.
---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------
I checked out that APP and all it does is open the settings menu for you.
You can just use the dialer instead..
*#*#INFO#*#*
That gives the same thing as that APP
I also have found it to be -read only- on my phone.
So if you change the option it actually doesn't work.
If you REALLY want to change it for real you have to use an alternate method such as..
connect with ADB using your computer.
then use this command..
Code:
adb shell
settings put global preferred_network_mode 9
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 9
Note: That will force LTE/GSM (auto PRL)
you don't need root to do that in the cmd prompt either.
and most guys out there say do another cmd line..
Code:
settings put global preferred_network_mode2 9
But i had checked and that line did not exist so i doubt adding it will do anything.
Change those lines to "get" and look at the value currently set before changing them.
When i ran the 3rd line it said that key does not exist.
Also the number 9 is LTE/GSM (auto PRL)
SO if you use that dialer command or that app you can count down the drop down list
to see what option is what number (to force it via command line)
For example..
no. 8 is..
LTE/cdma (auto PRL)

Don't worry, I'm a noob too, just trying to read a lot before doing anything.
I checked my phone and everything matches to this ROM:
SURNIA_RETUS_5.0.2_LXI22.50-24.1_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I also installed CID Getter for further confirmation and ro.boot.cid is 0x9 (i.e. CID9.)
Which ROM I should flash to my phone:
the older SURNIA_RETUS_5.1_LPI23.29-15_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
or the newer XT1527_SURNIA_RETUS_5.1_LPI23.29-18.9_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip ?
Does the last one contain Stagefright patches?
My main concern is -if I'm not mistaken- that either one should be 100% official Motorola or it won't flash with a locked bootloader.

I see. I thought it could work for you, but at least you know a workaround. Thanks for sharing.
I just switched from Sprint to TMB with my Note 8. It is unlocked and working with TMB SIM card. I had some issues with menus etc when I first switched due to the differences between what the two carriers load on the phones, so I downloaded the 7.1.1 software load for TMB from sammobile. Most of it works, some of it doesn't, and I suspect I didn't do it completely right since it didn't wipe my data. So, now I am wondering if my phone will get the OTA Oreo push from TMB, or what I need to do to get it, and have it work correctly.
Thanks for the help!

You'll need to go through that guide for a complete carrier switch. I did it twice for a buddy of mine and it worked perfectly, then you flash stock firmware and it will receive ota's.
Honestly found it on XDA of all places after looking for it all night
What does 1.16 give us that 1.14 doesn't? Everything honestly. Could not get my Wing recognized to flash with 1.14. No 1.15 Patched exists either
We can downgrade with ChipErase (and restore IMEI), we can modify PDM, we can dump the entire phone (will do tomorrow), can upgrade.
See link here for link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...er-w-fastboot-drivers-and-common_dll.4304181/
This was the only working LGUp_Tool that worked outside of LGUP CMD
I wanted this to try other countries firmware files to see if we get other weird results. This should also allow custom KDZ files? from my understanding
ADDED INFO Nov 8, 2021
How to use LGUp Tool From this Download
1.) Download the LGUp 1.16.03 Patched from the XDA Link above
2.) Run the EXE as admin so it can install Drivers and the software properly
3.) Go to the install directory and run the 2 Bat files that are in the folder as admin
Code:
Default: C:\Program Files(x86)\LG Electronics\LGUp
-- Running LGUP_UI-fixer.bat -- run as admin, follow instructions, run the software when it says to, then close it
-- Run LGUP_UI-Fixer-addon.bat -- run as admin, follow steps, then run LGUp.exe when patch complete
You now have a working LGUP Tool 1.16 Patched for the LG Wing
Explaining the functions of LGUP Tool
Code:
REFURBISH： You will lose all user data（KDZ or TOT）
UPGRADE: Keep data and update your phone（KDZ or TOT) - Select Upgrade to flash kdz firmware to unbrick/restore your phone back to stock.
Chip Erase: Dangerous, This will erase IMEI/efs, do not try this if you do not have a NV backup. - Chip Erase can also remove the Google FRP on many LG devices with Android 5.0, 6.0.

Awesome! I just DL'ed.. don't know when I'll have time to mess around with it. Or if I have the skill set to help. But I would definitely try to help out if I can and be excited for rootable firmware.

Holy cow I can’t believe it. You actually found the exact tool that we needed! I went ahead and did a chip erase on my demo model, which had previously been flashed with the Korean firmware from the previous tutorial, and flashed the T-Mobile Firmware. IT WORKED! To get rid of the error at that shows up every time you reboot it, I accessed the hidden menu and changed the TN number to the one associated with TMO_US, as shown in this post.
Thank you!

I still can't get mine to accept a sim card and get data but I can make calls/text and use wifi, which is nice.
I wish Partition DL worked, we'd have the boot.img
I flashed Verizon Firmware and put the Verizon NT Code using PDM Mode, still didn't work. Going to try others later

I get calls and text, no cell service at all. I had to manually program in an IMEI. My IMEI comes back as 0 if I just flash it without PDM. IMEI doesn't apply via the service menu either

Interesting. I was able to generate an IMEI in the hidden menu after the chip erase and it worked fine. I did also have to re-add my CSN, because that was also removed, and then my phone did an unprompted factory reset and rebooted.
By the way, when you flashed it, did you use Refurbish? Because with my demo unit, it refused to let me do that and would only allow chip erase. I was reluctant, but it turned out fine. And, the only important thing I was unable to reprogram afterwords was the S/N, but it doesn’t really matter to me. (Too bad the fingerprint scanner still doesn’t work though. That’s the only thing left that still isn’t working after all of this.)

I have yet to have network work on my demo device regardless of what firmware is on it because my Serial Number and IMEI always come back at 0 and even if I manually enter new ones, it doesn't acivate, although i was able to get to the menu just fine with the standard code in that post.
Interesting, I wonder if there's something different in your firmware or kdz...
looking at the software version. mine is on
F100VM10i
maybe they (Verizon) patched out the hidden menu. your KDZ is labeled
F100VM10d

Yes, A-12 has been released for the N200, but it may screw up your phone. I bought three of the unlocked US market 5g N200s due to the 3g phase out. Yesterday two of them updated to A-12 and now neither of them will work for voice /mms/sms. The phones detect a SIM installed but will not access the mobile network at all. I'm using Consumer Cellular which in turn uses At&T towers. Nothing I've tried makes any difference, can't even place a call on my brand new phones. OnePlus tech support is useless, their solution is send the devices to them for "repair" after their update broke my phones. After chatting with their rep I have 0% confidence they will actually do anything except keep my phone for a month or so and send it back in the same condition. According to their tech, no roll back tool exists for the unlocked variant.

THANK YOU for posting this!! My mom purchased an N200 for the exact same reason and after the A-12 update she's having the same issues with her device. All her voice, sms, and mms transmissions go through Cricket wireless (which also uses AT&T network) She contacted OnePlus customer service and they said they'd get back to her within 48 hours. It's now been 48 hours but with it being a weekend, she's hoping to hear back from them by Monday. She went to the Cricket store yesterday and they cleaned and tried a new SIM card to see if that might fix the issue but it didn't.
While it doesn't sound like there's any fix available yet, it's helpful knowing that this issue is affecting someone else using the AT&T carrier network. Hopefully between OnePlus and the AT&T wireless carriers they'll figure out a solution sooner rather than later.
Best of luck with your devices.

Yeah, I called OP three times got the same promise from OPs customer service and they never got back with me. I've never dealt with a less enthusiastic company when dealing with a serious product defect. The tech support people at first acted like the didn't believe me when I described the problem. Then once I had (I think) convinced them the problem was real, their response was like "oh well, too bad, so sad". OP offered no solutions or even ideas of what to try to do to fix the problem.
Do they test anything before pushing out an update?
I had a two day window left for returning the devices for a refund so now they're gone, and I'm gone as an OP customer, I can't just do without a phone while they fumble around trying to figure out the details for some (maybe) upcoming patch.
Good devices, terrible customer service. Never settle, nope, never again.

OnePlus Community
Introducing our new OnePlus Community experience, with a completely revamped structure, built from the ground-up.
forums.oneplus.com
For those of you who want to downgrade from 12 to 11, use fastboot enhanced/payload dumper, boot fastbootd, delete all of the "my_" partitions, flash android 11 ROM zip (payload.bin button). Reboot bootloader, use the command fastboot -w to initiate a factory reset, reboot recovery and wipe data (this fixes mismatching metadata/userdata partitions) reboot device and voila you're on Android 11 again. Confirmed on my converted TMobile variant.
Also T-Mobile variant got official A12 OTA with the same C.15 build number.
And AT&T doesn't play nice with OnePlus, their new sim cards will not let you use a OnePlus device at all because they are unsupported.

Do you know where to download the A12(or at least the latest A11 update so I can update to A12 via OTA) stock firmware/update or could you upload it for the T-MO(metro) variant or show how to update OTA even when I unroot both slots the OTA still fails

I'll get the link scraped today. To fix OTA you have to reflash the stock build to restore avb (android verified boot / vbmeta verification). Without this being restored you can't flash OTA's using the normal methods. But once I get a link to the T-Mobile/metro update, you can use fastboot enhanced to manually upgrade like I did. I'll make a tutorial for the manual upgrade/downgrade process. I first have to downgrade from OxygenOS 12 to 11, then use the MSMtool to restore stock T-Mobile software. Easy stuff

The link to the download is literally a https link in the logcat when downloading the OTA. In case you're wondering how to manually download the zip onto a computer, that is how to get the link. If anyone else beats me to sharing the link it would save me from having to downgrade to get the link for the T-Mobile variant myself
"adb logcat > logcat.txt"

So I get on computer and go on bootloader and type "adb logcat"?
Negative, while booted and after you start to download the android 12 OTA you can run the adb command to get the link while the OS is running.

I dirty flashed this (DE2118 T-Mobile/Metro) build over the leaked unlocked variant (DE2117) OxygenOS 12 build most are running and did not have to factory reset after flashing with Fastboot Enhanced.
My TMobile variant is now running the T-Mobile firmware. No downgrade required for that.
Downgrade process is download the android 11 build from OnePlus, boot fastbootd, use fastboot enhanced to delete all of the "my_" partitions, flash "payload bin" (full android 11 ota zip from OnePlus), make sure to tick ignore unknown partitions. After that is done shut the phone down and boot to fastboot/bootloader using the key combo, and flash the same payload again with ignore unknown partitions ticked. This will update the partitions that were inaccessible in fastbootd (such as modem). After this you will have to use a terminal with adb/fastboot to run "fastboot -w" this will wipe metadata(encryption key for userdata) and userdata. Reboot to recovery and perform factory reset there as well. After that you should be good to reboot to OxygenOS 11. To return to stock T-Mobile after that just use msmtool

Alright cool thanks for the download so just go to twrp/orangefox and install it or do I get on pc and flash it via adb? Does it have to only be fastboot enhanced?

PC and flash via fastbootd then again in fastboot after fastbootd. Fastboot enhanced is the easiest way to do it, otherwise you will need to fix custom recovery to support android 12 or use command line tools to unpack the oneplus ota file to manually flash each partition.

fastboot = bootloader
Fastbootd has access to more critical partitions and can be accessed by the command "fastboot reboot fastboot" at the bootloader or by hitting the "reboot to fastbootd" button in fastboot enhanced. Make sure to flash it in fastbootd BEFORE flashing it again in fastboot
