Is this Mediapad X1 still worth the buy or Accsend Mate 7?

How much roughly this costs now?

Mediapad X1 : price range RM 1.1 to 1.2K
Mate 7 : 16 GB - RM 1.5-1.6 K while the 32GB is RM 1.8-1.9K

Worth or not fully depend on what you need in a phablet
The X1 main advantage is its bigger display ( 7') and much better battery life ( 12-14 hours SOT)
Other than these advantages the Mate7 is overall a much better performer and smoother than the X1

Uncle if I buy this model (7D-501u) can I flash it to 7D-501L LTE firmware?

Is the 7D-501u a LTE version?

Last can I flash Taiwan KitKat ROM.

Thanks.

If you want LTE get the 7D-501L (international, including Taiwan) or 7D-503L (China).

501u is the 3G model.

You cannot flash 501L firmware on 501U model
This phablet already so cheap n why bother to get 3g only model . Msian models are all LTE 501L.
You can flash any country firmware as long is meant for model you buy.

Thanks Uncle now you clear me up some shop at Lelong sell cheaper now I know it is imported one.

I'm so keen to have a black one did you know where to get one?

Thanks

KL no idea but I saw a black unit for sale at one if the biggest phone shop at my town BP.

Have anyone tested EMUI 3.0
What are the differences?

After updating B103 OTA signal doesn't seems to be stable compared to before.Im using German firmware before.Should I flash Malaysian version instead?

Hi Uncle I've read about this procedure I don't understand this procedure is for what?

Do I need to root first or unlock first before this can I install CWM in X1 ?

Thanks.

I was merely supplementing Noobi3 description of his procedures on flashing stock recovery using fastboot commands. DO read the earlier post by him above mine
You must be rooted to install CWM - you can use the app Flashify for it : refer page 1
No need to unlock Bootloader for this phone

After update to b012, I no longer able to select 1080 in utube, max only 720, any help? Local unit.

Any guide on how to downgrade to previous rom?right now on B102.

Just copy the extracted dload folder into ext sdcard n either select from software update in phone or just switch off n restart phone
You can search for firmware at forum XDA
Most probably midway during install you will be prompted to remove ext sd. Do that n rename the dload folder - this is to avoid reinstallation again
Upgrading firmware is exactly the same procedure

my version is 7D-501LV100R001c209B002

I have just download the taiwan firmware from http://consumer.huawei.com/tw/tablets/supp...tw.htm?id=28043.
after that I just unrar it can transfer to ext sd card and update?
Do i need any special steps before doing this?
Do i need a new sd card?
Do i need to backup any photo, video before doing this?
And what is the different between this and my current firmware?
Any loss in function or shortcoming compare with my current firmware?
I see there is another malaysia version, http://consumer.huawei.com/my/tablets/supp...iapad-x1-my.htm Which one should i use?
Sorry this is my my first time doing manually update.

I have a 7D-503L Honor X-1 (Mediapad) and it's stuck on the logo screen. I cannot get to any kind of recovery. I also tried to put an update with the dload folder method and nothing happens. Any suggestions for getting some type of recovery back?

That Taiwan version is very old firmware. You should download latest Msian firmware. You can use existing ext sdcard n make sure it has 5gb free space. No need to backup but if you need to , you must use CWM . To update firmware you must revert back to stock recovery

You can only use 503l firmware
Try flash back stock recovery
At terminal :
fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img

You can get the stock recovery image from XDA
The Mate7 full zip ( for install CWM) has a folder with the stock recovery
Copy this image into same folder where you had the adb/fastboot commands installed

Benny-

Thanks for the info. My computer doesn't even recognize the tablet via USB. How do I flash without the computer recognizing the X-1 and there is no recovery? Is the Mate7 recovery the same as the Mediapad X-1 recovery?

Install Huawei X1 USB drivers
In phone select usb debugging in developer options. Activate this developer option by tapping setting/phone/build no few times
First time you connect you will be prompted to pair phone w PC. And if you see usb logo in taskbar pulldown n select default as MTP
With this your PC can connect w phone
Different phone has differentiate stock recovery usually

Benny-

The phone doesn't boot up- it does not make it to the home screen so I can't get into developer mode to turn on debugging. It gets stuck on the "Honor" logo and that's it. I installed the Hauwei USB drivers and the phone isn't recognized. I can't get into any recovery. Your help is so appreciated!
