Hello everyone. I wondered if anyone could give me some help with updating my Ascend Mate 2 model MT2-L05 to 4.4 KitKat?
I received the phone on Thursday and it came with 4.2.2 installed.
It shows build number as : MT2-L05V100R001C17B912
From my searching, this appears to be the China Unicom version. I have been to updates on the phone and searched OTA and i'm told that the device is up to date. I have no option on the phone to update from SD card.
I have downloaded the 4.4 update ROM from the official Huawei site for the MT2-L05 and have tried flashing it with the 3 Button bootup method and I receive this message when the autoflasher starts :
checking Module MD5RSA...OK
checking Module CRC...OK
checking Module...CURVER...OK
checking Module VERLIST...
sd_update_func.....fail
then above this recovery gives me 4 options :
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I then choose reboot system and the phone starts up no problem.
I have tried putting the dload folder on a 16gb Lexar sd card, a brand new class 10 Sandisk ultra sd card, and i have also tried putting the dload folder on the phone's internal storage and i get the same error message every time i try to update.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

KK is not available for the phone in the US... yet. Apparently, it is coming but for now, you are stuck with JB.
Thank you for the reply zzEvilGeniuszz, but I am in the UK, and I own the Hisilicon powered Ascend Mate 2 from China.
I do not own the US model, which i believe off the top of my head is Model no : MT2-L03.
I have the correct 4.4 rom downloaded from the official Huawei chinese site and i have also tried the needrom version ( which i think is exactly the same as the official one ), I just cannot get it to flash correctly.
Best Regards !

The only problem is that most of us have the US variant. I personally can't give any advice as to what to do and I'm pretty sure most of the active members on this mate 2 forum will be the same. :/
I am curious, if @4L0M uploaded the KK update to one of us, couldn't altering the build.prop to the same specifications as the US version make a difference? Meaning, if altering the build.prop to US version, then installing, would that work???
I don't think that would work.
There are currently 5 different official 4.4 roms for download from the official Huawei Chinese support site :
MT2_C00 : China Telecom
MT2-L05 : China Unicom ( My Ascend Mate 2 i think, although i see a lot of references to C00 too, so I am a bit confused.)
MT2-L05 : China Unicom Channel
MT2-L02 : Mobile Channels
MT2-L01 : China Mobile
I just extracted my build prop file and it says I am running version : MT2-L05V00R001C17B107SP1.
I have found out there are updated versions B109, B110, B111 and B115 of 4.2.2, so i will see if I can hunt them down and flash them in sequence, then try to flash 4.4
I don't know enough about reading my build prop to work out if it's any good to you, but i can upload it somewhere if you would like to have a look, bearing in mind, at the moment it's only 4.2.2
Ok, so I found all 4 update files and downloaded them. They are about 900 mb each.
I put the first update B109SP5 on my memory card, did the 3 button fastflash startup, and IT WORKED ! ! ! It flashed no problem, then rebooted.
Update Successful. The mate 2 had been on for about 2 mins, then a notification came up telling me that an update was available for the device.
Update was called B110.
I downloaded this ( was about 45mb, it rebooted. SUCCESS !
I then went to settings, Updates, and I now had more options in the menu !
I chose Update online, it downloaded and flashed another small update called B111.
Reboot Success !
Yet another online update , ownloaded, Flashed success This Update was B112.
I then went to online update again, and it said B408 update is available. This one is 4.4 KiKat !
Before i downloaded the 4.4 update, I installed Play Store from .apk i downloaded using the stock browser as none of these updates include the Play Store. I then downloaded Root Checker, as i had rooted the Mate 2 last night. I had lost root annoyingly, as I was going to try to use OTA rootkeeper to try and keep my root, before flashing 4.4
I tried downloading KingRoot apk from playstore, as this is the root manager I had installed yesterday, but I couldn't root with KingRoot.
4.4 is downloading as we speak...............or as I type, to be precise.
Hello again.
I successfully flashed my MT2-L05 to 4.4.2 KitKat at the weekend. Initial impressions are very good.
It seems to have freed up about 400mb of more RAM compared to 4.2.2
4.2.2 free ram at boot up 800mb
4.4.2 free ram at boot up 1245mb
I now have emotion UI 2.3, but haven't used it as i always use Nova Launcher Prime. The phone is miles snappier on 4.4.2, it's a noticeable improvement in speed around the UI and general app opening and viewing of websites etc. The pulldown toggle menu now has a nice transparency to it.
The lockscreen now has a pullup menu at the bottom in the dead centre for a pullup instant access menu to Calendar, Calculator, Torch and mirror apps. There is now a camera icon on the bottom right to instantly bring up a camera from your lockscreen.
4.4.2 on Ascend Mate 2 doesn't appear to support Album artwork on Lockscreen like my Note 2 4.4.2 did.
I also consistently have 1000 less points on Antutu benchmark ( 27,000 ) on 4.4.2 compared to 4.2.2 ( 28,324 )
I also have one more question if anyone can help me. My IMIE number on my box is the same as the one listed in status on the phone, yet the serial number on my box is now different from the serial number my phone shows in phone status. I don't know if this was always the case, or it changed when I flashed 4.4.2
Which one do you think i should Email to Huawei to see if they will send me an unlock code for bootloader?
I have tried for the hell of it Towelroot, Framaroot, Vroot, Kingo, Kingroot, SRS root, and Root Genius to try and root 4.4.2 to now avail. Root Genius told me it was successful, but no root on reboot.....which sucks.

I can't get antutu to work on mine. Also on stock 4.4.2. Not really an issue thought. There's a thread on rooting ham2 here that seems to work without the need to unlock bootloader.
Hi scpion. Thanks for the reply.
Antutu works perfectly for me, so not sure what the problem could be mate.
I managed to Root 4.4.2 in the end using Root Genius 2.0.1.3

I'm in the process of making cm11 and cm12 for the US version of the MT2. It would help greatly if I had a dump of the 4.4 system files for this phone. Unfortunately I don't know how to extract them from the proprietary format. Would anyone be willing to help me out with a system dump from their 4.4 phone? Please PM me and I can provide detailed instructions. You will need to be rooted.
All the US owners would be hugely grateful.
Thanks!

Sent from my HUAWEI G700-U10 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
kinda late - just stumbled across this thread - did you find any answers? Do you still own the G700?
I still have it... No confirmation for the kitkat and huawei didnt update the emotion ui... So i put toghether emui 2 and the new weather app and widget and all working pretty good for now... Huawei sucks on updates for the overseas phones or models... Common a 1 year old quad core 2 gb ram with no kitkat? :banghead:

Yep, sadly it looks like as there won't be any (official) Kitkat update at all for the G700. So as long as there won't be a dev with some time to port one we'll stuck with Jellybean - from the hardware side it would be perfectly capable of Lollipop as well
-- EDIT --
Do you have any more details about the mods you did?
I just root my phone and replace the launcher widget and weather apk from emui 2.0 with root explorer give proper permissions and ok... Just search for emui 2.0 apk on p6 forum...

Nothing really new - besides that there now exists an official CM11 version for a different phone with the same Mediatek chipset Let's see how that goes. Huawei seems to be the one to blame now as Mediatek rolls out the source needed to build 4.4.
But did you manage to install CWM already? If not: I saw a few similar guides with a relatively complicated method (flash stock again with a bigger recovery partition, factory reset, flash CWM, root again) and the installation failed for me many times (bootloop) although I already had that version of the stock ROM installed. Most probably this was a result of not doing the factory reset - I just didn't want to.
Luckily I stumbled across this thread which I did put on hold first as there hasn't been too much information - same for the page where that thread links to.
But in the end I didn't care and kicked my doubts - and it worked perfectly: CWM installed without any loss of data.
Just to make sure the links remain available I'll quote it again:

It worked For me Thanks! I searched everywhere but only your solution was perfect!
Just now received official OTA Update (Over the Air) for my Dell Venue 8 LTE 3840 (Merrifield) India version.
Attaching BEFORE and AFTER screenshots of Android Version.
Though there is no visual change and its 4.4.4 only but if you trust me the tablet have REALLY become smoother and faster than before.
The reason could be the LATEST updated KERNEL. Previous was modified by company on 26 Dec 2014 and now the new version Kernel is showing as dated 9 Oct 2015. Isn't that really great?
Changed.................IFWI Version
Changed.................Software Version
Changed.................BaseBand Version
Changed.................Krenel Version
Changed.................Build Number
Anyone else from India, got this update? Please keep everyone updated.

I soft-bricked tablet 10 days before doing some nasty rom related experiments. It was dead for two days and battery fully drained. Then I restored it by charging battery in switched off mode and then re-flashing stock rom and normally updated it to 4.4.4 over OTA immediately. After a week (diwali vacation) I opened tablet and I got this update on UNROOTED tablet. So I am not sure if we can update it after rooting or not.
You have unrooted the tablet so you can not delete cache folders inside root. So better take full backup of everything in internal memory and also your apps and data. Then re-flash Stock Rom and do OTA update manually like I did. Lengthy process but everything will go smoothly.

Thanks for confirming. Actually I had one more problem but it could be on my tablet only and may not be a general issue. After I rooted last time and I deleted few apks from system areas, my wallpaper on home screen started flickering everytime I touch the screen. Now with this update that problem is also gone. Dont know if it is applicable to all or it was my local problem. Could be due to some nasty experiments I did on system area.
@ all
Now I am on latest software , ROOTED , all bloatwares removed and on lightest rom and I can do things more faster than before
This Tablet was already indeed a rock solid tablet by body structure and now the latest software is giving good performance than before too. Thanks Dell.
need this firmware

Thank you for your post.
Would you share the bloatwares you have removed from system folder? Does it help the tablet to gain more available RAM?
I'm unroot, after a fresh reboot, it shows only ~280mb RAM available.
I should blame Dell a little here, from all the 1g RAM devices I've used, dell is the worst manufacturer that makes the device <300MB available RAM (system takes >700mb). Even on venue 7840 5.1 firmware, after a fresh reboot, it only has ~700mb available RAM. Other devices usually have 450mb (with 1g RAM) or 1G+ (with 2g RAM)
I'm assuming that we have to unroot and install the update and the root afterwards?

No, I didn't. The tablet spec is too low for any possibility of rom experiments. Right now its not in use and staying idle on corner of my table I almost forgot it, that its there
I've tried following steps
1.In Dev Opt. Background process kept only 1
2.manually kept all apps Forc Stop.
this Worked for me and today I Played NFS MW without any issue, even Asphalt 8 played BUTTERY-SMOOTH.
you should Try it
I have a nubia z7 with rom version 2.05 (Android 5 and Nubia UI 3), with google apps working without problems. Even youtube.
It took 3 days to figure out how to do it, without rooting the phone.
But some tools are needed...
I upgraded my phone rom (which came with version 2.26, a modified 1.26), put rom 2.02 then 2.03 and at last 2.05, which is the last one in nubia chinese site.
I used nubia rom updater, for the roms version 2.02 and 2.03 you have to decompress to each folder and point nubia updater to that folder.
The last one (version 2.05), i used option update of the phone.
Then uninstalled every chinese app. Downloaded gapps micro for android 5.0.1 and copy to the internal storage.
Then rebooted the phone with TWRP and installed the zip file. With TWRP root the phone, in advanced menu.
After that, i reboot into android system and made login into google play and updated everything.
It's a google phone now.
I think this should work for Nubia Z7 mini and Nubia Z7 Max
I hope this help someone

hi, i'm Senh0r. I had logged with an old account.
now you can uninstall all chinese apps ,that you don't want.
then copy file gapps to internal storage.
Check if you have port ADB selected, by inserting on dial number *#7678# , if not, select it.
Now run the TWRP, which is in chinese, when the menu show up, choose option 3 and wait for the phone reboot into TWRP.
When you enter in TWRP, on bottom of screen you can choose english language.
After that is only to install the zip file. don't check for signature.
Now it's only need to reboot phone.
To enter on TWRP you need always to run the program to reboot your phone.
Anything ask
greetings
Thanks for that. I got them installed but when I boot the phone I get a google services has stopped and the phone shuts down I'm
Not sure what I did wrong

update to 2.05 no problem
But after installing gapps it crashes in the setup phase
any ideas ?
Did you rooted the phone before installing gapps by twrp?
Rooted from twrp, installed gapps, rebooted.
After a few minutes it started, google setup wizard.
It crashes with an exception.
Gonna give it a shot in a few
Call me an idiot, but I didn't make a backup of the delivered stock ROM KitKat 2.26.
Please have you guys an image? I am stuck for good.
And cleaned the cache and dalvik partition too? Mine its working with no problems.
Cleaned cache etc.
I could hit me for being so stupid to forget backing the original ROM up.
I can easily go to a stock Chinese ROM but at least a KitKat Google ROM would be nice.
Señor or anyone, can you provide a image of 2.26?
Unfortunately I didn't backup it either , but soon I will create a zip file with my Rom with Google apps installed.
I will check Nubia site for older roms too.
Getting the hands on an 1.26 is relatively easy, but the googlefied 2.26 seems to be rather hard to find ...

Hi, I have my phone with 2.26, I have rooted it with kingo, if you can provide me a custom recovery I can do a nandroid back up of complete rom.
Hi Steveyknoxville, Señor shared a custom recovery based on twrp and that works very well. I would really appreciate if you could provide us with the 2.26 ROM
The link is in the first posting of this thread.

Hi, I have read that senor twrp does not work on 4.4.2, are you confirming it does. My biggest question I need answered before I do anything is, if I install twrp how do I go back to stock recovery so I can do Ota updates to get to lollipop. Thanks.
Sorry but I can't confirm weather it fully works or not. I followed señor's guide and updated the phone. But if I recall the thread correctly from nubia cn forums the stock ROM should be a slightly modified twrp anyways.
Try just going into the recovery mode.
You should be able to backup the ROM.
Thanks for the invested time.
Hi,
I have a lot of problems with my PLK-AL10 since I upgraded it to Android 6.0 (e.g. push doesn't work properly when my phone has screen off, or it works but randomly - Messenger etc).
I havn't rooted my phone, but I have code to root it, if it's necessery.
Can someone help me how to downgrade it?

Just google, download and install huawei firmware finder by team MT and type your phone model and it will show you all the firmwares for your phone.
Look through them to find a rollback package.

did you update your phone with right firmware?
Hi ,I updated my HH7 PLK-L01-C185B130 (middle east version) to B380 and then by OTA to B382. I found that security and fast charging options were gone in this update. so I decided to downgrade to Lollipop. I used Rollback package 6.0-5.0.2 to downgrade. although it installed but didn't showed the transition firmware (B300). Now I put already downloaded C432B121 ROM into dload folder of micro SD and flashed it. it installed successfully and now build number is PLK-L01C432B121. The problem is phone's internal storage has been reduced to only 3.8Gb total.
I have tried to go to recovery mode to wipe data and cache but it fails and shows "Software install failed"
I know i have mixed the firmwares and the old one would still be present in internal storage which has consumed all the storage. Please guide me to recover this. thank you
6.0 works fine here don't know why downgrade
My Huawei honor 7 ( PLK AL 10 ) after updating with 4.0.3 bugs some apps and lot of Chinese apps I want to downgrade in 5.0 I have tried many official Roms but all in vain I also download firmware finder rom b320 but always one problem ( emotionadownload PHP error) please help to get rid from it.
I have the same problem @Awan262626 I use Firmware Finder but it seems that with EMUI 4.0.3 we can't use the System update to "dowload lastest full package" and we can't even have the update menu.
Before start i'd like to tell you about my adveture with my phone
I had a Huawei mate 10 ( ALP-L29 c185) installed 8.0.0.139, rooted with magisk and TWRP (By Pretoriano80) as recovery so yesterday i suddenly think that "i shuld try android 9" (i don't know why?) . I searched here and internet so finally i decided to update by "hurupdater" method. I downloaded stock firmware by "Firmware Finder for Huawei" app (9.0.0.177) and hurupdater 0.4 also twrp_bla_alp_0.7.img for twrp recovery. I put them in same folder on sdcard. Renamed recovery.img to keep recovery as twrp. Lastly i restarted recovery and installed hurupdater.zip.
DANG!!! My phone is bricked....... It gave a lot of errors during installation and when i try to reboot it was bootlooping, cant load recovery interface (twrp or stock). I could enter e-recovery but gives "getting package info failed" error. So ended up with bricked phone in my hands. I tried many ways including hisuite but nada....
Then i remembered "Funky Huawei", bought 1 credit and followed instructions. After long hellish hours (firmware downloading takes long) i have my phone back working with stock 8.0.0.140 rom, stock recovery even relocked bootloader also my whole data was intact. My curosity cost me 20 $ and hours. This morning i realised there is system update 9.0.0.159
So my questions o this point
1)What should i do now? Update to android pie (with stcock recovery of course)? Is it worth trying or just install twrp and root my current rom and go on my way for a while longer ? (till a more stable pie relase)
2) For the future, what was wrong in my update process. I'd never want to make same mistake again..
Thanks...

I have exactly same phone (c185) never tried unlocking bootloader but I updated to emui 9 159 there are some buggy things like when you want to use third party lunchers You can't use gesture navigation and it has so many bugs so not using gesture is better
there are again some problems with third party launchers (im using nova) like sometimes when you go to "resents" its totally blank and you have to force stop "huawei home" to make it right
there are some good changes in camera like new 960 fps slow motion (but there is a huge crop in 240fps 720p and 960fps 720p I can't remember that 240fps had that crop or not) Turning off master ai and some new scene detection but it's slower than last one
there is a new performance mode that i love using it (it feels like a real flagship however it's not because of stupid SOC)
there is a new AI api that android 8 didn't have so most of apps wasn't able to use NPU
in emui 8 there is a little bit better battery
I love changes to my phone so I preferred buggy new firmware to old ones there are so many good little changes in interface (like when you take a picture you can go to gallery then scan it for QR code)
There is a way better Mira cast functionality (and new desktop mode in it)
hi touch, hi vision
These were all expensives I had with emui 9 that I can think of
How did you update @arianamirgholami ?
Meanwhile, I have the same phone but am still on Android Oreo......I have the ALP-L29 8.0.0.141(C185) model. I'm reading more and more about others with this model that have gotten the Android Pie upgrade over the last two months but the upgrade is still not available to me. Makes no sense...I have a stock rom on the phone, I am NOT rooted and my bootloader is locked. Neither hisuite, hicare, system update, nor firmware finder methods gets me anywhere. They all say that I'm on the most recent firmware.... 8.0.0.141(C185). Go figure....

Same here, although my brother and I have the same device (ALP-L29C185) and we're on the same career, he got the pie update like a month ago and nothing for me yet. I think it's a matter of time until our imeis turns.

Yes I saw many people on internet facing same issue, What I assume is that when you purchased the phone it came with 8.0.0.141, that's why its not getting the Pie. Because the phones which were using 8.0.0.140 already got the Pie instead of 8.0.0.141. So one thing you can try is to go back to 8.0.0.140 and then update the phone. I did the same, Installed 8.0.0.140 using HiSuite and then update to Pie.
