but how to root it ???

Taiwan firmware on tablet mode or phone mode?

Downloaded the B002 firmware late last night
Will not be installing it if no 3g??? N that is indeed strange
Can other users confirm this??

I have downloaded and installed B002 firmware and there is 3 mode, 4G preferred, 3G preferred and 2G preferred. There is 3G available.

Thank you. Strange user shah6630 said : "but on network mode theres only 2g only no more 3g only" ??
Anyway I think I had a bad download. The download took nearly 4 hours lastnite and was probably bad. It fail to install and I only see continous Huawei splashscreen logo ( did a manual update and switch off phone restart too) . Tested on 2 other ext SDcards - similar scenario too
The zip file however extracted well - no issues
Will download again

You can use 7-zip and its Test file feature to see if there are errors as a first step.

You are talking about B002 or B007 (R002) version.

Update: I checked the documentation for the German B102.

It is ALSO an R002 release, but the next 4 digits probably refer to region, since the European ones are R00xC100 while the Asian ones are R00xC3xx

I had previously unsuccessfully installed CWM recovery. AND I believe my stock recovery files are now changed as I am unable to flash any of the firmwares. The phone just boot into hw splash logo. Switching off n restart I can restart phone. Can some of you used flashify to backup stock recovery n email to me the file. I forgot to backup before flashing the cwm. You can find this file in android/data/ com.goober.flashify/files/flashify backup/recovery
Many thanks to such help
My email is benny888@gmail.com

Trying to attach stock recovery to some cloud location. Later.

Update: try this link.

This is stock recovery from B003 Western Europe.

hi
u can try to recover your x1 like the huawei ascend mate pershap it will work. Put on a empty sd card the rom B007 R2 in dload and when u boot, before the HW logo, try to push "start + volume up and volume -" or "start + volume +" or "start + volume -"

On my ascend mate after a lot of try the phone has charged the rom. pershap

Dear sir,
your problem is mine at 100%
Exactly the very same similar issue on mine
BUT I am an old man and newbie
my email is bvannier@famille.im
Kindly yours

Bonjour monsieur. I have posted the stock recovery to dropbox. See 3 posts above.

This thread probably has the most international members

As I am running kitkat B102, is it safe to flash this recovery from B003 ROM?
Kindly yours from an old man

Is safe n I just did it
It would be great if some guy can post the recovery from Kitkat B102 too

Think you sir, are you able to enter the recovery mode now?
If yes, I need an explanation... Such an old "newbee"
Because I have just flashed this recovery with Flashify and I still can't boot in recovery mode...
Kindly yours

HI Beny 888 and other
you can extract the recovery.img from an update.app with the "Huawei update extractor" search on google.
ive the same issue i extract the recovery from the B007 and flash with fastboot (flashify dont work) and all its done
the fastboot command is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

the link to the official xda thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

you can also extract .IMG than you want , modify it with android image kitchen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
,flash .img with fastboot look for command or a fastboot/adb gui to google or repack the entire firmware with huaweii update extractor for a full flash

i tried to modify boot.img but it seems the .header of certains files is separate and i cant extract those files so cant modify kernel for gpu oc or add frequencies or gouv if somebody have an idea

Thank you very much for this great tip

Dear Sir,
I extract the original recovery image from B102 with HuaweiUpdateExtractor but after Fastboot ????
First will try to Flash with Flashify then I will see...
The old man is lost because if Flashify can't do the work...
Never ever use fastboot!
If somebody could clarify for a newbee
Kindly yours from an old man
