Hello everyone I just started New Thread for our new device Huawei Mediapad 7 lite
1 rooting
2 cwm installing
3 custom rom
4 bricking
5 unbricking
6 .................?
I got rooted my device with unlockroot tool u can get it from official web unlockroot.com
now I am testing to flash cwm recovery by using a lot of method but not passed ,
I think this device hasn't download mod
but there is official way to flash official firmware with dload ( inside : unlmt.cfg ,update ) copy dload folder to sdcard and just reboot ,
and there is the way to flash cwm recovery.img by entering fastboot mod but when I did it I got problem that my pc doesn't recognize device even installed all drivers related .ie fastboot ,adb and usb driver . Any advice ! Thanks
My experience on this device
1 No proximity sensor u can not use flip cover to screen on off
2 No hdmi port
3 No flash light
4 No phone speaker the voice only come from back speaker and headphone
5 No auto brightness
6 No fm radio
And if i may add something:
A 1.0Ghz Cortex A8 CPU with Vivante GC800 GPU that is good but has a very poor gaming compatibility.
I put the CPU speed in bold because the tablet is announced everywhere as a 1.2ghz, including Huawei's site, but that's not true. I will be returning mine tomorrow after i complained about this at the store. The store contacted Huawei and their reply was:
"we are sorry for the mistake, the MediaPad 7 Lite has infact a 1.0ghz CPU instead of the announced 1.2ghz", etc, etc, etc. But despite this statement, the device remains announced as a 1.2ghz tablet.
The tablet is well built, and not as slow as some reviewers say, but i can't trust a company that does this kind of stuff. Plus, they don't seem to plan to release JB for it (not even ICS 4.0.4)
Anyway, i wish the best of luck to anyone that is willing to develop software for it, i know from experience that everything is possible here at XDA.
Sorry for spamming a bit, but i think everyone deserves to know this.
Sure, it isn't the fastest tablet out there - but for what you pay, it isn't bad either. From what I have seen around here, you can install an overclock-capable kernel and get some decent speed out of it - and the build quality isn't bad at all. I use it (stock) to play a few games, such as Mini Motor Racing, and check my social networks when out and about - and it does those, and YouTube streaming, just fine.
It would be nice to see something like Cyanogen support this little tablet. I don't think Huawei will.

Dear Experts,
I have just got a brand new Oppo R5, model no. R8107 including Color OS v2.0.1 what is made for Chinese market. It is totally unworthy to use.
I need to install a international custom ROM for it. Please help me to make it out.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

If you want Root use this apk

And if you want to add more languages use this apk from play store ( You must be rooted)

What I don't understand is the reason why an Oppo R5 is there even if there is no development so far...
Too all those wishing to change their Chinese R5 to the international R8106 rom
Hi this is exactly what happened to me. I did manage however to completely reflash the phone as an international r8106 instead of being the Chinese variant thus removing all Chinese applications and characters on the phone which was more oriented to the Chinese market.
Here's how to do it:
1. Root your phone you using forceroot
(www3.zippyshare.com/v/ylWtMVbd/file.html)
2. Install the Rashr application from the market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...r+apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1__Vw_VrCYDoPteZ-2grgE)
3. Download the r8106 stock recovery
(community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=41920&extra=)
4. Flash the recovery with rashr
5. Download Color OS v.2.0.1i
(community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=41914)
6. Reboot your phone into stock recovery (now r8106 recovery)
7. Wipe data and catch
8. Install zip (navigate to where your downloaded ROM is)
9. Flash the ROM
10. Reboot
11. Once rebooted you may get a notification saying "NV BACKUP FAILED" if this happens, simply dial *#268# on your phone's keypad and calibrate your nv parameters.
12. Enjoy :good:
* This is optional but you can also now re-root your phone using forceroot as previously mentioned and install twrp (https://dl.twrp.me/r5/) which will allow you to make a backup.
** Finally, this goes without saying but i'll say it anyways, this is completly at your own risk! I'm not responsible for any damages you do to your phone or if these instructions don't work for you. So its expected that you fully understand the complexities of flashing prior to doing this. Otherwise you may run a real risk of bricking your phone and making it completly useless.
Good luck and I hope this post helped someone.
I did everything you said. I managed. all is well, but stopped working GPS. may you know how to fix it?
Hi guys,
Long time Android user here - I've recently sold my Blackberry Priv and have picked up a Redmi 3. I'm struggling to wrap my head around the ROM terminology for this device.
- I am based in the UK, I can see in my device settings that I am on a 'Global' ROM
- I can see that there is a 7.3 version of miui available for this device, but cant find a reliable download source (currently running 7.2.7.0.0 - LHPCNDB)
- Will Miui 8 be released for this device (Global?)
- If I choose to flash the device with a Chinese version, what will the differences in the software be?
- The BL unlocking processes confuses me - do I literally need to send a request to Xiaomi for this to be done or can I do it via a tool?
I think this is all for now - I'd appreciate some help clearing up the above questions.

There is no official global rom for this device at the moment. Your rom seems to be a cooked room by the seller.
Official rom comes with English and Chinese only (and a lot of Chinese useless apps)
My suggest is to flash official developer rom (you need the developer rom to unlock bootloader), unlock bootloader (yes you need to apply for it to Xiaomi). Once unlocked, install twrp and a stable unofficial eu rom (this one has no OTA but is clean off Chinese apps).
If you have the no-pro version, you can also try the CM12 from this forum. It seems to be a very good rom.

You should apply to unlock your bootloader first; just make a Mi Account and go through the process. You might have to wait a few days (I waited 6). Some good tutorials are available on the MIUI forums or here on XDA.
After you've unlocked the bootlader, the next step is to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP (also on XDA), then a custom ROM of your choice. I reccommend installing xiaomi.eu if you live in Europe for the good localizations. Otherwise you can install the Chinese Stable / Dev ROM at your choosing; it has English language but some of the Chinese apps might annoy you. MIUI8 has been released for the Chinese developer ROM, and therefore the xiaomi.eu custom ROM which uses it as base. A CM 12.1 build is also available on XDA if you're into that, although it has some bugs regarding the camera, fingerprint sensor, and GPS.
Hi There,
I've just got one of these Chinese phones and the stock ROM is terrible, has anyone else had one and put a better version of Android on it? For some reason it is forcing me to install certain apps from some random website rather than the Google Play store, and also if I do manage to install an app it puts the icon in a little box rather than displaying the correct icon. It would be nice to get Cyanogen Mod on it but I can't find it in their supported devices list, I'm hoping that as with most of these Chinese devices it's just a generic device that has been re branded by Xgody and therefore compatible with Cyanogen.
Cheers

Dear Friends
I have bought a Huawei Mediapad T8 and I am trying to find a custom ROM to flash it. Unfortunately there is nothing on Cyanogenmod site.
If anyone has any reference site where I can find ROM s for this model please share it with me.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
Mediapad T8 has android 10 - so it can be part of Project Treble since it is 8+ - it means, you can flash GSI (generic system image) of many of custom roms and no need for certain full rom.
But, I guess, you will need to unlock bootloader and got permissive kernel and probably need to remove encryption for user data before got bootable custom rom.

Dear Friend
Thank you very much for replying to my thread. I admit that it is the first time that I heard about GSI (Generic System Image). I am looking for a custom rom so I can use the Play Store that is now missing from most Huawei devices. Unlocking bootloader is not so hard , I can get the code from Huawei in 7 months from now. Dealing with the GSI is something that I can not manage to be honest. I will wait for a custom rom. Thanx again.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Actually there are more than 10 Custom ROMs available:
https://fossbytes.com/android-custom-roms/
Dear Friend
Thank you for the link. Which one is for Huawei Matepad T8? I can't find anything.
Please help
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Take note that any Android OS ( Stock ROM and/or Custom ROM ) you intend to install isn't device's model/brand dependant, but on device's CPU architecture. Almost all Android device's are powered by an ARM CPU.
Dear Friend
I am a noobie. Which ROM do you suggest for Mediatek MT8768 chipset (Octa-core 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.50 GHz Cortex A53)?
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Can't recommend any because I never used a Custom ROM: I have reasons for this.
Dear Friends
The main reason that I am looking a custom ROM is the advantage of using "Play Store". Otherwise Huawei Android 10 is just fine. Please help me find something that will work 100%. Otherwise I will stay with Huawei Android 10.
Thanx again

Dear friend,
In the meanwhile you can use GPStore alternatives like Aurora store or ApkPure or ApkMirror for apps that can not be found on Huawei's AppGallery.
On the other hand, you can install about 8 to 10 apps from Huawei phone/tablet (before US sticky fingers) in the form of backup and restore them to your tablet. Tutorial like this is simmilar for all phones. Also found some backup on GDrive for HiSuite or usb restore.

Hello Friend
I have installed APKPure , it is very usefull. About 80% percent of the applications are running fine. Unfortunately about 20% require the Google Play Services. I will stick to this solution until Huawei provides me the Bootloader Code (After 12 Months) and a custom rom is created .

Hi
You can just flash GApps pico. It installs Play Store and Google Service.
Do you know if Google apps pico require an unlocked bootloader? What is the process? Do I have to install custom recovery?
Hello.
Please, can someone extract the original apk from the notes and post here? I accidentally deleted mine and now I can't find it. Thanks.
Hi there, i managed to install a google account and a working playstore via this youtube tutorial, and google services is working outside of an irritating notification which you can turn off.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZVF9W-H228
The only thing is i don't know if i can upgrade firmware with out losing google apps again i'm on firmware 10.0.1
How to unlock the bootloader?

i wouldnt recommend installing a custom rom that is not specifically for your device, especially if you are a noobie. the devices appart from the SOC have many components that require specific drivers. in any case, you have to be extra carefull in following the instructions otherwise ou ll end up with a brick. your best bet is to find a recovery (again for your device) and flash open gapps.

But huawei doesn't provide bootloader unlock codes anymore
Is it possible to root Matepad T8 ?
I think you no longer need Custom ROM to use GApps into this device. I have bought this device few days ago and found a way to run GApps. Just open Huawei AppGallery and look for "GSpace", it will solve GApps issue.
