Flash ROM help - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

My SD card does not work in the device. Is there any other way to flash image on it?
Thanks!

Do you only have a problem with automatic updating from your card (the device sees the card when running honeycomb), or your card does not work with the device at all (you can't use it for storage of pictures or music)?
Automatic update should work fine from windows formatted card. Otherwise you have to start it manually by holding volume up and pushing power to boot it up.
The update doesn't run from internal memory, so if your card is dead the easiest way is to borrow one from somebody for ten minutes.

No, my reader in the device does not work. The card is fine, however, Springboard reader got broken... Any other way for me to update ROM? USB OTG maybe? How does Mediapad mounts SD card internally - is there a chance to trick it somehow to install if from internal storage?
Thanks!

Is your mediapad rooted? If so, have you tried using rom manger? Rom manager has been known to report internal memory as an sd card.

download the rom you want to flash und unpack the /dload/update.zip
you can open the huawei_partition.xml file to see which file goes to which partition.
enter fastboot mode on the Medipad (hold power on and volume less on boot)
now execute the following commands:
fastboot flash modem non-hlos.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2.mbn
fastboot flash ext oeminfo
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3.mbn

fastboot flash cache cache.img.ext4
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img.ext4
fastboot flash tombstones tombstones.img.ext4
fastboot reboot
for the touchscreen files i don know how to flash them from the fastboot console. Perhapse someone can help out?
useing this you can also switch back to your current rom when you encounter problems.

Is there a way to root it without using an SD card? I am looking through the forum but any direction would be appreciated.
To use Fastboot I need to plug in keyboard?
Thanks,
AK

to use this you need an usb cable and a pc. depending on your os on your pc you have to set up fastboot. There are several guides here in the forum.
You can also flash a rooted version this way.
Keep in mind that the touchscreen updates are not flashed useing this methode.

Help with soft brick

So i was running AOKP nighty and did a backup. I wanted to install the stock firmware so i could try to network unlock. So i flash the original recovery and flashed a general channel ICS. This resulted in a constant huawei logo. So i fastboot and reflash the twrp recovery and restore my backup. This results in a constant black screen on reboot. It seems any rom (stockish or cm10) results in just the hauwei logo, and my backup wont restore.
Is there any hope since i can flash recoveries all day long?

Also try wiping everything a few times, cache d-cache, factory reset, system, not doing so can mix up ROMs on partition,
Wipe all then restore/ flash new rom
Clear EVERYTHING and restore backup got me working (though a few errors in the log, like dev/media turned into devmedia unknown directory). Not sure if i want to attempt a stock reflash yet.

Should be fine, again just wipe everything, and delete any logs on SD card when flashing your stock rom, make sure its the correct rom

[Q] Cant recover from soft brick this time?

well, ive soft bricked my mediapad many times, but this time nothing will get it booting again, ive wiped everything, used my backups to recover via twrp, ive wiped and tried starting with a fresh rom, and nothing, gets stuck into a the logo bootloop. anyone got any suggestions?
the bootloop occurred when i was using a bluetooth headset and they hung up, which cause the tablet to turn off (known bug its no problem) annnnnd i couldnt get any logs because i modded the rom not to log and not to report errors that cause fc, so no logs no hope. idk what to do someone help =(
Bleh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the help guys..not, tried flashing back to stock ics, nothing, i presume it dead just beacause ive fucl<ed with it long enough to piss me off

Thanks, I figured it out, there's a problem sometimes with twrp with formatting the data partition, it was the problem all along because I use and older version of twrp, for my own reasons, I sometimes run into permissions problems when I flash with the most recent twrp, so I just flashed the updated recovery, wiped the data, installed my ROM and everything booted fine, then I flashed my old recovery, everything's all good now =)
Can anyone help me!!
I am new to the forum, my Huawei MediaPad 7 Slim has been bricked and the company logo on shows and then a black screen occurs. Can anyone help me please I am pleading for help

[GUIDE][FASTBOOT] FLASHING FASTBOOT MiUI ROMS

Introduction:
Hey friends, as we know we can flash fastboot Miui Roms which comes with complete package and then we have to flash it with MiPHONE.exe. There are no other methods to flash roms Via PC! Roms can also be flashed with stock recovery, custom recovery but there should be a zip in sd card!Sometimes it even happen that we want to flash a rom/mod/zip and it fails! At that time we can restore via backup or flashing rom again.But what if there is NO ROM/BACKUP in SD CARD and ur in BOOTLOOP.
I tried numerous time flashing Miui fastboot rom via mi PHONE, but every time it gave me error 'The system cannot find the file specified.(0x80070002)' , I know i was doing somewhere wrong.Atlast I gave up and wanted to try different.
So I will be sharing with you a method to flash Miui Fastboot Roms by fastboot commands via ADB. Yes you can do it easily. Just enter the commands and hit enter.
Prerequisite :
Computer
Minimal adb and fastboot zip
MIUI FASBOOT ROM
Mi FLASH
(For installing usb drivers)
Steps to be performed :
1)Download minimal adb and fastboot zip and install it.
2) Also install Miflash for necessary usb drivers!
3)Download MIUI Fastboot roms zip and extract it in same folder where Minimal adb fastboot were installed.
FOR EXAMPLE : Mine path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
4)So extract files inside Minimal ADB and Fastboot FOLDER
5) Now go to Minimal Adb and Fastboot folder and HOLD 'Left Shift Button' and 'Right Click'
anywhere on folder area and there you can see OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE.
6) Follow the commands given below : Ps Enter commands one by one!!
Code:
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot erase boot

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
7) The phone will automatically reboot after entering last commands , so have patience!
ENJOY!!!!!!
ps :Btw this helped me fix my otg which was giving me error!​
Can I suggest another solution, but not tested?
Just flash a CWM recovery .img, restart in recovery and use the sideload flash option to push and flash the .zip file of a rom.
All will be simplier if you use a Mac, no drivers needed, just ADB and platform-tools

Everyone doesnt have a Mac bro, I know it can be done via other methods too. Many people at this particular moment opt for easy way. this is damn easy , just download files put it in adb folder and hit command and done!!!
Since we have only one method for using via pc [ that also failed for me, maybe i was doing wrong] so i thought for doing this way!!
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
After all the commands except erase boot and reboot I get en error: target report max download size of 671088640 bytes error cannot flash..............
Any help would be deeply apreciated

Hi,
Can you please be more specific about:
1. which mode does the phone need to be in while procedure? stay in boot-loop? boatloader mode? is recovery mode ok? download mode?
2. What files exactly to move to the minimal adb folder? there is the tgz file which extracts to the tar file which extracts to a folder - does that folder need to be copied? or the images file in that folder?
When trying to enter the lines some of them weren't exepted/missing.
Thanks,
Amitai
thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial, it worked perfectly for me.
@amitai, the phone needs to be in fastboot-mode, you can get there by typing "adb reboot bootloader" into commands (your phone has to be connected via USB); you will also be needing the FASTBOOT-ROM which you can get on the official miui website ... you also have to unpack them twice to get to the files. just copy all the files into the minimal adb folder. it does NOT work with normal miui roms, only with fastboot-roms!
any update about this Guide? Because we tried use on Xiaomi Mi 5 after first boot, Local Setting only Display China. And another issues two and third step is error (not available)
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
Any clues?

Flashed Device With FastBoot Now Internal Storage Shows 0.00b

Hello. I wanted to flash a stock ROM on my Xiaomi Mi3 (Not Mi3W) and I downloaded an official stock ROM and flashed it using Fastboot.
Here's where I think I messed up. I used the "fastboot erase userdata" on the phone and when it booted up, The system storage is showing fine when I go to settings > storage but the internal storage is showing up as 0.00b and I cannot install any applications.
I've tried reflashing but nothing is working. Any ideas on how I can get it to work? Thanks.
Try to flash again with fastboot but with following comands:
Enter the following commands below by order:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
boot.img ,recovery.img and system.img it should be inside your stock firmware.

After much Googling, I was finally able to 'reset' the whole android partition system by flashing a CWM recovery, booting into it, and using ADB to fix it all.
Thank you for bothering to reply my at all. You're amazing.
