Hi
Recieved notification for 257.52 MB update two days ago, nothing further specified.
Haven't installed it yet - anyone else; or know anything about it?
Mine's currently on 5.0.2, Security Patch Level is 2016-04-02, Build G850F XXU2CPC3 - and already have Smart Manager so that's not it ....
Edit: I now see there's an entire row of countries released here in 2017-05; so I'm guessing it's a non-exciting security thing?

TIA
what was the update???
what did it come up with?
ran that update and now private mode fails to start.. grrrrr.. stupid me did not un-private quite some important files beforehand.
Update arrived also in Italy today
Hi
So when I wrote the OP, it was not a good time for me to run update.
Now I have - on Sunday two days ago. Before starting it showed a message mentioning "stability, features, improvements, yadayada" (can't post the screenshot due to forum limitations).
Have then been using the phone like I normally would, and have found NO difference at all ... Slightly disappointed...!
Same here... nothing changed! Nothing at all...

Hi,
I have heard that omate features over the air update (maybe called OTA?), which I suppose should be easy to use. I want to ask - how can I check if a new OTA update is available? How can I check my current version?
Will such update preserve all my contacts and calendar appointments?
I have omate 8GB/1GB in Europe 2100. I have flashed it with firmware TEST_RELEASE_Omate_2100_TrueSmart_20140314.zip (btw, was there a new firmware released, and I maybe missed it?)

To search for OTA update go to settings/system/about TS/wireless update and click "check for update"
You don't have to check for (F)OTA, system will inform you if it discover update.
Over the air update or OTA is well known system of update in iOS and Android world and it's working quite good.
You won't lose anything, your data, contact, pictures and everything else will be preserved.
And no, even Omate promised to upgrade TS by the end of last month they didn't do that - why I'm not surprised?

The 'about truesmart' option is available in the original firmware settings.
your screenshot shows the default android settings menu, which makes me believe you are not on the official Omate Software, which means you do not get the official over the air update.

You are running some unofficial ROM. Maybe Dees Bluetooth Tether or Loki's Unified. I don't know. I think you have to get back to stock if you want it. I advise you not to, there's nothing that special in OTA. You are most likely safer now than with the update.
Hey,
got mine TS (1+8GB 2100Mhz) last week.
My firmare: Omate_truesmart_20140513.103530_V2.0.
No ota available? The message says no updates available?!
Latest Kickstarter updates says: Omate_TrueSmart_V2.0_20140527 were the latest update.
I am confused.
Any chance to get the firmware elsewhere?
There ate at least two different versions produced in May and they each have their own unique hardwares, which are incompatible with each other and both with any other firmware builds. The 0513 firmware on yours is the build for what is referred to as "third batch" and the 0527 is found on the last batch so far - 4th batch. Both are version 2.0 OUI builds, not OUI 2.1 and neither is any better than the other. Both have wide open insecurity and Bluetooth stack coding failures and so forth just as in the original firmwares from back in January. There has been NO progress made on improving the TrueSmart firmware so far.
Since these hardware revisions require incompatible firmwares (flashing the wrong one will softbrick your TrueSmart) and there is no way to tell them apart, development of replacement firmwares has pretty much halted.

hi,

and sofar could not update over the air either, says no update available
Hi all,
[UPDATE] 2014-09-22
Thanks to @sumenpo who posted in the question thread.
Huawei Taiwan has now posted R002C324B007. R002 means it is the 2nd major release.
http://consumer.huawei.com/tw/tablets/support/downloads/mediapad-x1-tw.htm
Huawei Taiwan has posted B006 for the 501L but it is not KitKat yet, although this is the FIRST release of any international ROM by an official Huawei site for the 501L
Support Site
7D-501L_V100R001C324B006_Client_Software_Taiwan_CHT_Android_4.2_EMUI_2.0_05012KJM.zip
I would like to thank chinkc from Malaysia's lowyat.net forum for the link.
According to the download site, it supports MULTIPLE languages, and English is selectable.
There are no Changelogs as yet.
According to XDA members who have tried (see few posts below), thanks @Dead-Eye, and chinkc from forum.lowyat.net/android, B006 will prompt you to update to B007, so net effect is that you get B007.
at last
Thanks for the good news .. I'll start the download .. and will come back with the change log .. باذن الله
I hope kitkat is coming soon

Finely an update!!!
Well, I upgraded my Mediapad X1 (7D-501LV100T001C199B003) with success to this latest build version: 7D-501L_V100R001C324B006. After the upgrade, I receive an automatic update to version B007. So I'm currently sitting at 7D-501L_V100R001C324B007
Yes it does have English for language choice.
I have noticed a smoother (faster) operation then my previous verison. There was some preloaded China apps after the installed but I think you can uninstall it.
Still no arrow icon to hide the bottom Navigation bar, but I saw somewhere in the forum you to modify your build.prop and local.prop files (I haven't tested yet).
I also hope soon they will release KitKat firmware soon. For the meantime, I will enjoy the latest release.
Thank you Joytest for provide us with the link to the update.
Done
The update done,, it took two days to complete the update.. because i was buting a lock for the sd card which was stopping the process,, a message (update.app not mounted) with a big fail in red.. but when i removed the sd card lock,, the update completed ,, i did not recognize the change log yet,, but there is an ota update B007 came automaticaly ,,
Thanks every body
501L B007 update
After doing the SD card Rom installation using the B006, I received an OTA for B007. While the sudden increase in the icon sizes can be annoying, I can confirm that the performance has improved significantly. Btw my unit came out of the box at B001. The lags were very annoying and I was close to selling the unit. But I told myself I would experiment on this first before doing so. Anyway my Antitumor before was 21k+ now it is 26k+. Also it behaves now like a real jellybean device, smoother than ever. I notice that it seemed like around 200+ ram space has been added (could be that the firmware caused the more efficient memory management) that's why I can open lots of apps now without experiencing significant lags. My LTE signal has stabilized more. Sorry I couldn't offer screenshots. I really hope that kit at will come soon.

UPDATE: After a few days playing around with the phone. Everything is sofar so good but one issue I found - Only the 4G (Radio Baseband) in this ROM update is NOT compatible with the 4G (Radio Baseband) in the Middle East.
Please note Western Europe had release their Kit Kat firmware update. Currently downloading and will test soon. More info, Please see the link thread below.

The dload folder is inside the zipped file. Find it and put it in the root directory of your SD card. Make sure your SD card is Fat32. Make sure your unit has at least 80% power or more. Turn off the unit. Turn it on again. The installation should start upon reset.
After successful installation, you will receive OTA update to B007. enable it for another round of firmware update. After this, you should be able to enjoy a smoother X1

Before this update, my unit could detect my 500GB Seagate and 1TB WD external drives via OTG. It was really convenient. Now the B007 update seems to have removed that feature. Could it be that the reverse current feature in the USB port was not included anymore? I think it's the one that's supposed to power up the disk so it can be detected.
I've just done the update on my 501L, from B003 to B006 and then to B007 OTA.
With B003 my home wi-fi network showed up on the MediaPad. My 2.4 GHz network was on channel 13 and my 5 GHz network on auto channel selection. After updating to B0006 both networks were no longer recognized. I then found out that channels 12 and 13 on the 2.4 GHz band were no longer supported (had to change to channel 1) and that 5 GHz is no longer supported altogether!
The interface is faster but removing channels and the 5 GHz band is a downgrade. Also, the only western language supported is English, unlike firmware B003 which supported several western languages. IMO this a sloppy job. Huawei did some minor tweaks on the oriental firmware in order to make it work with 501L devices and that was it.
From what I've read, the KitKat update is another sloppy job. I'm starting to wonder if these 7" were worth leaving Samsung. Anyway, if you face this problem, just change channels and your wi-fi network will show up.
Updating to B007 should give you back the 5GHz.
And yes, Huawei's software is sloppy. For everything they fix they bring back one previously fixed problem, plus a new one.

Alas, it hasn't. Do you have it on yours? If so, what are the 5 GHz settings on your modem (Channel bandwidth, Control Channel and Extension Channel)? Thanks.
Channel 36 @ 5180MHz. Rest I don't know.
Thanks but no dice. I've tried every possible combination on channel 36 and 40 + everything in auto mode and the 5 GHz channel still doesn't show up. It is not like I can't live without it, but if it was there in the first place there is no reason for it to be gone (apart from Huawei's incompetence, that is).
501L_V100R002C324B007 is available. See post 1.
According to @sumenpo, it is Kitkat.
Time to give it a spin?
Going to try...
Joytest, Thanks for the update. I'm going to test this new update. The last Taiwan update my 4G didn't work everything else work okay, so I end up updating to the German KitKat 4.4.2 release but the samething 4G didn't work and the dpi setting is high (400). After some research my Middle East 4G LTE has the same bands of Taiwan and German, so I don't know why my 4G is not connecting. Maybe something to do with the hardware itself.
I hope this new Taiwan KitKat 4.4 version that the dpi setting is set to 320 and my 4G work.
I give a try once download is complete.
As anyone else updated to the latest version? and if so, is the dpi set correctly?
I loaded it up last night, and it is 400 dpi. Everything is a little larger, and according to some reports, the device goes into "phone" mode instead of "tablet" mode originally. For example, the icons in Clash of Clans become larger, like on my Note 3. Previously I could see 2 rows of Defenses icons, no I can only see 1 row.
The only other gripe is that I can't install Xposed. Anyone have any clue? The previous hack of modifying build.prop ro.config.hwtheme = 0 no longer works.

Hi, 3g should be the 501u. You can get 4.4.2 from Huawei China's website. They have B019 or 017. You can check this from the other ROM threads here.
Some reviewers had posted that the January security update was pushed prior to release, but I've had my 5X running since Tuesday and its still on the December patch.
I made sure to manually check for updates just in case and the phone didn't see anything. I'm connected to both data and wi-fi so I'm not sure what is up.
Has anyone received it other than pre-release folks?

Bit of a newbie here, came across this forum when looking at new phones and was quite excited by the idea of being able to play with all that was available in the phone.
So I went and bought a 5x have got my unlock code but have not unlocked it just yet, I am UK based and so have the L21 and just wanted to check that the general consensus is to leave the thing untouched (except for a new launcher and a few apps installed) until I have received or somehow updated to the B140 update.
I couldn't work out in the other thread about returning to stock if the B140 for the Kiwi 21 had actually been released yet, couldn't find any downloads on the Huawei site for the UK.

I checked Firmware Finder today and found this update that was dated 11/1/2019. There are two versions. One is OTA-MF for 135.7mb and the other one is FullOTA-MF for 3.0GB.
Is this something I should update and if so is it easy to do using FirmwareFinder? I have the US version CMR-W09.
My M5 updated to this today. Maybe there is hope for getting Pie.
Mine got this update over the air this morning. I don't notice any changes. Looks like just security fixes. (just .
Hello,
I recently acquired a refurbished S9+ and as many other people, I realise now that someone must have been messing around with the internal software. This is my secondary phone so it's no big deal but I would like to understand what was done on it nevertheless, and maybe turning it back to a cleaner state, if possible, and if it has not too many drawbacks.
-apparently, Samsung Pay is not working. It hangs indefinitely on the screen where you must choose the type of security.
-when looking into the Play Store settings, the device is not certified
-WiFi calls apparently are unavailable
-OTA update is not working (nothing happens when I try to check for an update manually. What's more, no information about the last update is available. By the way, the phone software is outdated. (last Android security fix is dated from Feb 2019)
From what I read, it looks like the CSC was modified, right ? Would it be a good idea to change it back to original ? (I may need some guidance about that but we are not there yet) Would such a procedure restore, for instance, the OTA update feature ?
(see pictures attached - there is what is written on the phone's back cover too, if it can help)
Thank you very much in advance. Please tell me if you need some other specific screenshots.
PS : I also bought a Note 10+ from the same refurbisher and it ended up being a Korean model. But the firmware seems clean. I know Samsung Pay won't work in France, WiFi calls either, and I will be stuck in "LTE" 4G instead of 4G+ but at least OTA updating is functionnal (I got an update a few days ago) and honestly ? That's fine with me for the price.
Anyone ?
From what I've read researching on similar issues, the previous owner who messed around with the internal software must've flashed custom firmware on your S9+, and probably tripped Knox (and is why your Samsung Pay app won't work). According to some developers on here, you're able to hide the fact that you've rooted the phone, but I don't think you can un-trip Knox once it's been done.
Prior to your post, I didn't know a single thing about CSC and I'm not sure how it's really relevant when flashing a mobile device (unless it's carrier-related), but I think all that's required when flashing a device is the model number. Luckily, I stumbled upon a thread that is actually your exact, same model! Do what you please with it, and I hope I helped — I'm not a professional, nor am I really knowledgeable about all of this stuff, but I'm trying.
This is the thread I was talking about:

You're welcome! Was it what you were searching for?
Not sure, but I hope it will help me understand the firmware/CSC stuff better
Alright so apparently this phone actually is a SM-965N, judging by what is displayed when booting into download mode.
Unfortunately I only saw this after starting a flashing attempt with Odin and now it's stuck at "system.img" so... I'm gonna let it run a few more hours but...
It's most likely bricked at this point, isn't it ? (edit : interestingly, after I forced-closed Odin and reboot the phone, it was not)
If you ask me I find this kind of "refurbishing" a little bit sketchy to say the least.
