Just finished updating....and WOW!!!!
Vast improvement....EMUI 2.3 is polished, quick and very responsive (but probably used Nova)
Everything is faster ...probably due to KitKat 4.4.2.
One MAJOR issue is that Huawei change the DPI...the icons and text will be larger. This change was in response to Huawei's forum users saying text was too small.
Update: Unable to root via current RootGenius 1.8.7en, 1.9.6, KingoRoot 1.2.2, AnzhiRoot 1.5.0

I lost play store after update .... but i just download the apk and install .. it works fine ... thanks

Just installed and the font is too big for me. The performance is better.
Antutu Score : 23637
Can not install some of application like FIFA 14. They said it is not compatible with the device.
I had to install Google+ for second Google account but it also has compatibility issue.
But you can add second Google account on YouTube app.

I've just received the Mediapad X1, 501u firm.
To install the Kitkat 4.4.2, should I root the unit first?
Thanks in advance!

No, you don't have to rooting. Just follow the instruction.

I have some apps that also show up as "incompatible with your version"...it's due to the change in LCD density value from 320 to 400. Hopefully someone finds a work around for this .

7D-501L
Can you update 7D-501L with 7D-501U? Did anyone tried it yet? Please let me know because I would love to upgrade my phone.

whoaw , DL speed is impressive , about ....0bps .... lol
if anyone had DL rom before and can post it on Mega , it will be great ( i need rom for 503L )
for who's tested, can you restore all googles app , by rooting/modify the xml file ?
upgrade by OTA will not work ? ( like from B002 to B006 ) ?
did the B007 will now accept 64G micro SD in ExtFAT ( fat64 ) ?

needrom.com has a post for the B007 503L, I haven't registered, so not sure whether its a link to EMUI or a mirror
http://www.needrom.com/mobile/x1-7d-503l/
I tried rooting with RootGenius, but it failed...I was debating weather to use one of the "banned" rooting programs due to security concerns. In the end, I tried it anyways without success. No Root = no modify XML. You can still get Google Play via the Huawei App Center, search for "GMS" and click on the google banner and download google play store, then download apps from official play store . While you are at the Huawei app center, you also need to download both "Google Sync" programs, (1) with calender icon and (1) with contact icon to be able to sync.
To add multiple Google accounts to the X1, you need to download Youtube or Google Maps and add an account through those apps, there is no option to add accounts in settings.
OTA will not update fom B002 or B006 if you are root (from what I read)
Regarding 64GB SD card: B007 will not do NTFS or exFAT...BUT it will automatically format your card to FAT32 (which is a plus) Available storage 64GB card = 59.46GB. I have a 64gb Micro SDHX card, not SDHC...I could not get it to work on B006 even with FAT32.

thank's for your response.
the rom download on needrom is fast ( about 1 minute for the 998mo , lol )
it is not a good news for not to be abble to root the device , i use ESroot explorer many time ( to transfer file directly from my device to my servers ) , titanium backup for ... backup my data and remove ugly apk ( or chinese that i cant use ) and airdroid to control my phone by my mac ( even i forget it at home , lol )
did you try Anzhiroot for root B007 ? ( root genius will not work on my B006 4G mediapad, and anzhiroot yes , i hope that perhaps it will work in B007 )
for the 64GB card, on the B006 , it can be formated in FAT32 only, but it is very slow ( i know that fat64 is more fatest than fat32 )
i use a samsung SDHC class10 , and it is very slowly than my old samsung 32Gb class8 ....

Just upgraded to 4.4 Kitkat, but I can't install TASKER ("your unit is not compatibel with this version")
Anyone has successfully installed Tssker?

7D-501L Upgrade
OP - Thanks for the reply...
I guess I just need some courage and go for it...On the NeedRom website is showing this:
ROM Huawei 7D-501L – ROM Android 4.2.2
Update Official ROM Huawei 7D-501L Unicom version: 7D-501u_EMUI_2.3_V100R002C233B007
It looks harmless enough...I will post if everything went okay or not...*** Wish me luck ***

Since updated my internet connection keeps switching to 2G very often and there is no option to use 3G only. Is there any hidden menu i can use to put 3G only?
Thank you

With 3g preferred...if 3g signal is strong it will use 3g...else it will drip down to 2g. If it was 3g only and 3g signal is weak...you will get no internet at all. Not sure if they changed the modem/baseband files...didnt pay attention to B006.. That may be why ...

7D-501L Failed...
Well the upgrade has failed. Trying to upgrade 7d-501l to 7d-501u. As it was going through the upgrade checks, it was saying successful but around 40%-50% I got this error:
"FAIL" = Detected the upgrade package can not be adapted to your tablet...
Any suggestion??

At this point ... You should probabky wait for an official 501L ROM . I'm assuming it shouldn't be long ...beats having a $400 brick.
B007 is faster ... But the big font is annoying pretty much everyone. I can barely type correctly...the keyboard is literally half the screen !

Yes you're right don't want to have a $400 brick on my desk. Just need to wait a little longer for an release. I hope soon and also hope they make the fonts smaller. Don't want a keyboard taking up half my screen...

Thanks to our friends in Indonesia, we have the updated 2.2.2 Rom --> odienas and tri_zet
This update has been confirmed to work with:
S7-103, Indonesian version with dual cameras internal/external sdcard
S7-104, US BestBuy/RadioShack version with dual cameras and internal/external sdcard
S7-105, Australian version with dual cameras and external sdcard
Partially working:
S7-101, Austria Mobilkom version - loses camera, GPS?
S7-103, New Zealand - loses GPS?

MD5 checksum for updata.app : 74D031FD717D8BF68956EF3F044C8EEB
Update install process:
1. unrar the file, and copy the 'dload' folder to the root directory of a sufficiently large external SDcard formatted to FAT/FAT32 (readable by the S7)
2. turn off the unit, and ensure that you are either plugged in with a battery inside the unit, or that you have enough charge left in your battery
3. turn on, and a progress bar will appear in the middle of the screen. Wait until "OK" is displayed on the screen.
4. turn off the unit by removing the battery and any powerplugs to the S7
5. repeat steps 2,3,4 again. otherwise it will hang at boot screen (instructed by Huawei)
6. Remove the SD card and start the device. If you wish the use the card for the device, remove the firmware files from the SD card before reinserting it.
If the update fails to install, check that your file was properly moved into the SDcard by comparing the MD5 checksum.
The overall process should take less than 15 minutes to complete.

Thanks!! good job
what's new?
Any idea if this will work with the Telstra T-Touch Tab (Australia)? I'm told on other threads it's identical to the Ideos S7 except without any memorycard soldered onto the board. - and it seems possibly this only has agps too.
What is the latest available offical firmware? Im using S7 bought from Orange PL and mine ver is S7v100R001C98B022-is this the newest one?
Which do you think is the best out of your own experience?

[Q] EngelDroid EN1007M

I'd bought this WE a little box from Engel Axil with Android 2.3.
This box is powered by an ARM CORTEX (armv7) processor with 512Mo of RAM and 2Go stockage.
More info HERE.
I'd installed openssh and I can see the return of 'uname -a':
Code:
Linux localhost 2.6.34 V1.3.0-70-gee2481e(20120217.100957) armv7l GNU/Linux
A spanish community seem to have succeed to make a ICS release for it HERE, but they don't say anything about the procedure to install this.
Is there somebody here which will be able to explain me how to upgrade my Engeldroid ?
With 'busybox installer' and ssh terminal, I am able to get root access.
Now I try to set the default home launcher to something else than original spanish launcher....
I'm interested in this too!
The EngelDroid 1007M looks just like what I need, but I don't like that its software is in spanish.

Hello Guys,
I'm living in Spain myself and bought me one of these nifty boxes as well and started to fizzle around with it.
Here are my findings with it so far:
Android:
The box comes standard with Android 2.4.3 (or was it 2.3.4, I'm at work right now and can't remember correctly ) but can be upgraded to a 4.0.3 version that is made by Mygica.es.
The link to download the upgrade is indeed the link you've posted.
To install this upgrade you will need to download the zipfile, rename it to update.img and copy it to a clean SD Card.
Make sure that the Engeldroid is powered off and put the SD Card in the Engeldroid.
Than take something pointy and press and hold the reset button on the back (the smal little hole) and plug in the power connection to boot the Engeldroid in update mode. You can release the reset button when you see the restore-android-logo appearing on the screen.
The droid will now look for the update.img on the SD Card and start updating your box. There will be a random offset message but that is nothing to worry about and does not give any problems with the installation.
The first time after installing this new Android version the unit will take up to 15 minutes to boot it due to installing all settings and default apps from this custom rom.
The normal remote control with the keyboard on the back won't work anymore, but the motion controller will. It is highly advisable to connect a wireless keyboard and/or mouse or combination. Myself, I'm using a Logitech K400 keyboard/touchpad combination which works flawless.
Another option for the Media Center tweakers would be to install Linux with XBMC on this.
It is nowhere comfirmed but that is how I am using my Engeldroid at the moment and it turned my droid box into a proper XBMC media center and Samba file server that shares all my movies from the connected disc on the network as well.
The install procedure is the almost the same as with the other ROMS, download, unpack the zipfile, make sure the file is called update.img, copy to the root of the SD Card, plug it in and reset the droid with the reset button hold.
The link for the specific build of XBMC Linux that is working with our droid I can't post here yet, but search on google for: Pivos XBMC-Linux Beta 100912 and you will find the Pivos forums with the release topic of this ROM.
Don't try the Android ROM from Pivos, it is not compatible with the Engeldroid EN1007M. No worries if you want to try it, it won't blow up our box but just won't install.
If you have any more specific questions, please ask or send me a message or email and I will get in touch with you.
Official update
There is an official update for this device to ICS 4 (site in spanish though)
engeldroid . com
Got to "Nueva ROM Android 4 ICS" --> "ROM Android 4 ICS" (I'd link it but I don't have 10 posts yet )

[Q] Can someone post Mediapad X1 international ROM?

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:

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:

Huawei MediaPad Youth 2 (S7-721u)

This tread is referring to a S7-721u version in Malaysia with Gr8 bundled pre-installed.
Unfortunately, I lost my Gr8 activation code and unable to login to the device anymore after a factory reset. After some research, I have managed to flash it with the original firmware. Yes, I lost me Gr8 code, so I don't have the access to the daily subscription anymore, but I got my Huawei Mediapad back without unwanted pre-installed apps.
I am sharing this guideline so that it would be easier for people who faced the same issue like me. For people already got your Huawei Mediapad, keep your Gr8 code safe and remember where you keep it.
Prepare an microSD card with any storage size larger than 1GB.
Format microSD card.
Download Huawei official release firmware (S7-721u, Android4.3, C232B008, General).
Unzip downloaded firmware.
Delete file “au_temp.cfg” in dload folder.
Copy dload folder with UPDATA.APP in it.
Paste dload folder in your microSD card.
Power Off Huawei Mediapad. Insert microSD card.
Press Power + volume up + volume down keys together. The phone automatically enters the upgrade mode, and then begin the upgrade. Release the keys.
Once the progress bar reaches 100%, the phone will automatically restart. DONE!
What is new version C232B008 or C264B001? My tablet is on C264B001.

How important is it to delete that file. Is that the reason why when i install the update it says "update.app is a invalid package"? Thanks mate.
Hi. I just reinstall the software, but how do I get back my e papers subscriptions?
Is there any costum rom, and i have this tablet locked on one network ,is there a solution to run other network.thanks in advance.
I did all as you said, but now my tablet is completely dead.
Thanks it worked.
Provide the download link for the firmware please?
Thx Sunnysardine, it works for me.
Just to add a bit for my experience.
The process 1 - 8 MUST be followed exactly. I tried putting the update.app w/o the load folder, it did not work
For process 10, it takes a bit of time. the Huawei logo showed up for quite long before it power up to 1st screen. after that, all well. So got to be patient a little bit
Thanks man
I followed ur instructions exactly and it works, nice
If not for this, I would have thrown away my mediapad, it totally not login-able/ unusable without Gr8 code
Thanks again!
it is work for me.. thanks for sharing
Hi there, I found a way to remove GR8 app without installing the update. I found out that due to the device cannot detect the update in my sd card.
1) turn on the Huawei media pad s7-721u, unlock the screen
2) plug in to computer/laptop windows 7,8 or windows 10
3) on the Huawei media pad screen, it will pop up usb setting, select hiSuite usb type option
4) at the andoid setting, please go to about table setting, then enable developer mode by taping 7 times at Build number
5) still at android setting, go to security, make sure your android Screen lock setting is set under Huawei unlock,the go to shortcut setting, need to set to google app and android setting app.
6) install HiSuite to your computer - this is the Huawei official computer device managed software tool
7) install iRoot software to your computer. careful with this installation, it full of bloatware, but don't worry it don't have a virus.
8) run the iRoot and it will root your device. It will restart your Huawei pad multiple times.
9) after it root complete, unlock your device then go to google play ( as your android unlock setting option have the google play as describe in step 5)
10) install System app remover from google play
11) open the app, go to inside the app setting, remove setting Hide core system app
12) go to the main menu of the app remover, under manager, select system app, now you can find gr8 gallery app. Removed that app then restart the device.
13) you will have multiple error in android, just reboot and the error gone. DONE
This is where you can download the firmware

First memory card is required if you dont have it will not work! So get memory card at least 4GB.
INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------
1.Boot into Android normally.
2.Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop with a USB cable and when asked (or in USB connection settings), please select USB Mass storage mode to mount SD card.
3.Unzip the downloaded archive.
4.Copy "sdfuse" folder from archive to SD card.
Note: Please make sure that your phone has atleast 60% power before attempting or beginning upgrade. Or keep charger connected during the process.
:cyclops: SD card upgrade process:
Long press VOL UP + POWER_KEY to enter the droidboot,
A menu will appear. Select the fourth option, SDUPDATE.
At the bottom of the screen, you can see the progress and status of the update
When you see the message "SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!", this means you successfully completed the upgrade process
Now, reboot your device and hopefully it should be updated. You will have Jelly Bean 4.3 :highfive:
When it boots go to contacts type on new cotact name this code ####6020# then select your region! You must do this to get new update to KitKat,if you not it will show you that you dont have updates.
Sorry for my BAD english! :silly:
