FIRMWARE MEDIAPAD ICS 4.0.3 HWMOD C232B005
Kernel: 3.0.8 (hid@tablet_server) Thu Jun 7 17:50:45 CST 2012
Compiler: (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband: 314007 - Android: 4.0.3 - GAPPS: 4.0.4
Incremental Build: V100R002C002B010SP030

This is a modified copy of the official firmware released by Huawei C232B005 General Version (June 2012). It doesn't require running "sanix" patches nor modifications to the system partitions "boot.img"/"system.img".

As in the original, the zip file contains instructions on how to upgrade from a MicroSD memory card. The firmware contains updated GAPPS ICS 4.0.4 (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip).

It has been said several time however you know you will void your warranty by modifying your device.
I have tried these modified firmware several times on my MediaPad before rendering them available.

On "Androidiani.com", in the MediaPad forum, I have been releasing these same kind of modifications for the following firmwares:

C232B002, C167B003, C170B008, C170B009 and currently C232B005

I have to say thanks to many users on that forum for their contributions and suggestions.

Before you start the upgrade

Download the firmware ZIP file, unpack the file on your PC and copy the "dload" folder found in the archive on the external MicroSD card. In the same archive you will also find Huawei original PDF document in English explaining how to upgrade the device and a "readme.txt" file that lists version numbers of the various components of the firmware (kernel, baseband, build etc.).

Remember to use Huawei's "All Backup" (suggested) or similar tools to backup all the applications and data on the external MicroSD card before proceeding with the update. In this firmware it is possible to activate a remote Google backup of the applications installed from the Market using a personal Google account ("Setting -> Backup and reset -> Backup account").

Standard update method

Only copy the "dload" folder in your MicroSD card, reset the device by switching the device off (press "power" button for 10 sec). If the device doesn't start automatically again press the power button. If the update does not start repeat the operation and additionally keep pressing the Volume+ button (on the right).

Alternate update method

Use the phone application to dial the following number * # * # 2 8 4 6 5 7 9 # * # * then, from the menu that appears, select:
"Project Menu Act -> Upgrade -> SD Card Upgrade -> SD Card Upgrade External Storage".

For both methods

Follow the instructions on the device screen (in green), the complete update process will be about 10 minutes, then the device will reboot a couple of times, be patient and let the device be quiet a couple of minutes more before touching it (while updating the sim, sn, touch & coulometer firmware).

I always suggest executing a "Factory reset" after a firmware upgrade. You can do that from "Setting -> Backup & reset -> Factory data reset" and if possible also check the box related with the formatting of the device internal memory (after ensuring you have made a backup of all you may need).

IMPORTANT !!!
To avoid touching key partitions of the Android OS and the original firmware I decided to leave the duplicated "Gallery2" application (found in the "system" partition). For this reason, after the upgrade you will end up with two "Gallery" applications. Deactivate or remove the first one of the two, the one which is smaller in size. The second one has more options (Google+/PicasaWeb sync) than the one pre-installed by Huawei. Since the device is "rooted" any file manager capable of browsing folders with "root" privileges will be enough to perform the removal.

Informations

This firmware uses an alternate method to obtain "root" permissions on the MediaPad avoiding modifications to important parts of the original firmware ("boot" and "system"), at the same time it adds missing Huawei/Google applications and enable some of the functionalities that were not enabled in the original firmware.

Modifications have been applied exclusively to the device "cust" partition ("cust.img.ext4") all the remaining partitions and files have been left untouched compared to the originals Huawei ICS 4.0.3 firmware released 21 June (C232B005).

Updated:
  • all ICS Google Apps (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip)
  • modified permissions for "busybox" executable (755)
  • International language selected as "default" (English)
  • International wifi settings for channels (13)
Added:
  • Huawei applications missing in the official version
  • GenieWidget application included in newer gapps-ics
Removed:
  • "Huawei Input Method" add-on keyboard and all related Language Packs (42)
  • Gmail, Maps, Music2, PlusOne, Street, TagGoogle, Talkback, Youtube
  • Aldiko, Facebook, FoxitReader, Twitter, YozoOffice and related libraries
  • two space hungry games, Asphalt6, LGolf and related libraries
  • images and demo animations (media)
List of added/updated applications and their versions:
  • AccountAgent-1.1.17.apk
  • AllBackup-4.1.33.apk
  • HiDisk-3.0.21.apk
  • HwOUC-2.3.8.apk
  • PhoneFinder-2.2.0.apk
  • PushAgent-2.2.1.apk
  • Superuser-3.0.7.apk
List of functionalities added to this firmware:
  • "root" permissions, Superuser.apk, busybox v1.20.1, su v3.0.3.2
  • firmware updates from "Settings" (Huawei/Google components)
  • Google GenieWidget & Google Backup Transport functional
  • Huawei applications: All Backup, HiDisk, PhoneFinder

HWMOD Linux kernel 3.0.42 Overclocked + customizations update

This update replaces (overwrite) the "boot" and "cust" partitions of the device.

The update process should retain all installed applications and data.
To achieve "non destructive" update I used the same method used in OTA updates.
At the end of the update process the tablet will reboot once more after restoring the
serial number, sim/imei, firmwares for touch-screen and coulometer etc.

The update methods remain unchanged (no need to use "fastboot/adb"):

1) download the compressed ZIP archive and unpack it on your PC
2) copy the "dload" folder contained in the archive on the external SD card
3) restart the device and follow exactly the on-screen instructions (in yellow)

The "boot" contains the new kernel 3.0.42 Overclocked and the initialization "ramdisk".
The "cust" partition has been updated with the new "Superuser.apk", "su" and "busybox".

Inside the ZIP compressed archive you will find a "readme.txt" with expanded informations and instructions.

Credits to "arkusuma" for the modifications related to the touch screen driver and to "contributors/modders" on XDA.

what modifications did you made?

Sorry for the short description, really, many more info are missing. I will do my best to update and translate asap the rest of what I have published on "Androidiani" forum.

Basically I have added "root" permissions, removed all the extra applications and updated the Google Apps to a newer version (gapps-20120429-signed.zip).

I also added a few missing Huawei utilities like AllBackup, HiDisk and PhoneFinder that were found on previous Huawei releases.

The method I used to add "root" permissions is a bit different than on other modified firmwares. I only changed "cust" partition to achieve that, all the other partitions have been left untouched as the originals from Huawei.

I probably trust Huawei developers a bit more than others :)

It should work in this firmware (also I haven't tried yet).
The problem you mentioned was already fixed in both Russian releases.
There are no known problems for the phone to switch between 3G <-> HDSPA.

Right ... not there. Why include Gmail if you wanted to replace it anyway ? :)

It would have happened anyway at first update (if you decided to install it).

I have tried to remove everything that can be installed later through the Market or by placing the file in the SD card. That gives end users more freedom and let them sort out OS/firmware related problems vs. applications bugs/problems.

This also avoid keeping duplicates in your device.

Since this firmware have "root" privileges, I suggest users to install their "preferred" applications in "/cust/channel/normal/delapp/" folder so if they later want to do software reset (Factory data reset) they will not loose their "preferred" applications.

Copying the ".apk" in that folder has to be done using a file manager that works and let you browse folder with "root" privileges (read/write).

Hope I answered the question and left additional informations.

There's a bug on HWMOD b005.
Double Galery icon.
I've big mistake to disable it, and my device freeze.
fortunately i can recover it with hard reset.

I think it'll better if you add V6Supercharger too.

Thank you very much

This has both galery applications, one from the ICS and another from Gapps pack. You can safely uninstall anyone using Titanium Backup. I uninstalled the default ICS one. No problems so far...

Exactly, you are correct, this is not a bug, it was on purpose.
No freezing and no crashes that we know about in C232B005.
I wanted to leave the choice to the users installing this firmware.

Users can remove the one they want/prefer, one is part of the manufacturer ICS release the other is in Google Apps, they have similar options but different functionalities. The one from Google can sync your picture with those uploaded in G+/PicasaWeb. I personally prefer to keep the second one, the bigger in size.

Since this firmware has "root" privileges it will be easy to remove the duplicate Gallery2 application by using a file manager or Titanium Backup as suggested.

I have not included V6 Supercharger and other stuff because it is not sure everybody wants it on their devices. It can be installed though, for those that want it, however I doubt it's needed on the MediaPad.

Thank you for your respond. I don't know exactly how my mediapad freeze. Now I reinstall your ROM again, and no problem so far.

If you don't mind, I have request. How about change boot animation? may be like OsiMood.

actualy, I love OsiMood User Interface, but cause They stop updating, I'm not using it anymore.

But, If you don't want to add it on HWMOD, could you tell me how to change it, please. I've try many application to change it, and change from /system/media/bootanimation.zip . But, it still not change.

Thank you very much.

I never did it myself and it depends on what are your objectives.

If you want to just change the boot animation in your device doing what you did should be enough (make sure you use a correctly formatted/packed "bootanimation.zip") and give the right attributes to the files you modify.

If you need to modify an existing firmware and add a different boot animation then you have to handle "ext4" partitions images files under Linux ("system.img.ext4" in the update archive) and substitute that file in the "ext4" image.

If you just want to modify the boot logo, not the animation, you have to rewrite the "splash" partition using "fastboot" (called "logo" in MediaPad mmcblk0p10).

I need to do a test on a brand new Mediapad (not "rooted") but I don't have access to one.

Could someone execute the following "fastboot" command on a new device:

Code:
fastboot oem device-info

and report their results here ?

I have used 2-3 roms in my mp, is it ok?

Post them anyway, also they shouldn't be different from mine (more or less):

Code:
root@ubuntu:~# fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) 	Device tampered: true
(bootloader) 	Device unlocked: true
OKAY [  0.294s]
finished. total time: 0.294s
root@ubuntu:~#

I am not sure the internal "fuse" is set up to allow people some chance :)

I believe it is a one shot only sw "fuse", that's why I asked for a brand new device, one with the original manufacturer firmware and never rooted/unlocked.

Thank you.

    Other due informations ... to let you feel in full control :)

    I wanted to explain the trick (hack) I am using to make "root" privileges more
    compatible with applications refusing to find "su" e "busybox" binaries in the
    "bin" folder located in the "cust" partition. Without ever modifying "system".

    Before explaining that, be aware that I reduced the customization path of one level:

    - before the path was "/cust/normal/..."
    - now that has become just "/cust/..."
    - "normal" folder disappeared

    Well, I assembled a small "ext4" image containing the files that where originally in the
    "/system/xbin" folder and I added "busybox"+"su" to it (same versions found "/cust/bin").

    The small "ext4" filesystem I created contains these 6 binary executables:

    busybox - added
    dexdump - original
    hcidump - original
    iperf - original
    su - added
    wl - original

    the size of this filesystem "ext4" is just 1Mbyte, the minimum to contain what is necessary.

    During boot a script checks if both files "/cust/root/privileges" and "/cust/root/xbin.ext4" exists.
    In the case they exists it execute the following command to "mount" the small "ext4" partition
    over the "/system/xbin" folder:

    busybox mount -o loop,noatime,ro -t ext4 /cust/root/xbin.ext4 /system/xbin

    This is sufficient to "fake" all applications that are not 100% compatible with the "Superuser" API.

    I apply the same process also for kernel modules, in this way I avoid forcing users wanting
    to install different kernels to manually copy all the kernel modules to "/system/lib/modules".
    Basically the "system" partition is never touched/modified/written.

    So, in case you have applications wanting to write to "/system/xbin", they will probably fail.

    If you absolutely need to allow some application to write in those folders you will have to
    remove the file "/cust/root/privileges" and restart the tablet. This can be achieved with any
    "file manager" that allow working on the filesystem with "root" privileges.

    The file "/cust/root/privileges" is an empty file (size 0 bytes), if you recreate it and restart the tablet
    the trick to mount the file system "ext4" over the "/system/xbin" folder will be restored and will work
    as described above. Thus the user is in control of this process (enable/disable).

    I hope there are no negative effects against this trick/hack, up to know I haven't found any problem.

    GRAPHIC CUSTOMIZATIONS FOR HUAWEI MEDIAPAD

    The instructions, as they are, work and have been tested on HWMOD firmwares (having "normal" as channel name). Obviously "root" privileges are required and already available on this firmware.

    It should work on other firmwares if functionalities haven't been removed or replaced. For other firmwares it should be enough to modify the paths depending from versions and modifications applied. The most probable change you will have to do will be related to the name of the path used, which in turn depends from the name of the "channel" (for Huawei firmwares: yatai, china, russia, austrulia, t-mobile etc.).

    All HWMOD firmwares have "normal" as name of the "channel", thus the same instructions should be valid also for previous release.

    There are three animations available for customization of our MediaPad:
    • bootanimation (boot)
    • charginganimation (charge)
    • shutdownanimation (shutdown)
    If you just want to TRY some animation, put your "bootanimation.zip" file in:

    /data/local/bootanimation.zip (no root privileges needed)​

    if you instead you want to PERMANENTLY install it, put your "bootanimation.zip" file in:

    /cust/channel/normal/media/bootanimation.zip (root privileges needed)​

    With this last method your animations will survive a "Factory reset" and remain the active animations.

    The same instructions apply to "charginganimation.zip" and "shutdownanimation.zip" (replace the names).

    I have just tried "JellyBean" (640x640) boot animation, very nice and simple, but there are so many out there...
