Hi everyone i need some help or advice.
I try
1) This process will install factory unlocked ROM with just basic testing apps you will loose your curent ROM( we will return it on step 3)
and after that my s8-701w is dead, nothing is happening.
Only thing i got is Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in device manager.
I read it that it can be saved with Qfil or eMMC_DL_Tool but i dont have prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn and xml files.
Is it possible extract these files from update.app or something similar to try to revive tablet again?
I try to extract with ext4_unpacker_exe and HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5 but with no luck.
Or maybe someone can send mi these files if have the same tablet?
thx in advance

Hi all,

please can anyone really help, i bricked my tablet and managed to restore it back to original firmware. I also managed to unlock bootloader. i do want to root the phone but i want to do it va recovery using twrp or cmw. i bought the tablet for my son and already tried kingroot, it worked ok, but i would rather have supersu and twrp or cmw, feels more clean.
please can anyone help with a twrp or cmw that works for this tablet i have the eu version bought in Hungary (t1 s8-701w)

Is there any reason that there is no any custom rom fir this device.

Its just like i have searched all over the web. I am pretty sure that there is no custom rom for this device.

I am a noob in porting rom but i think that porting any rom also wont work.

If there is any reason plzzzzz share it.

Hi!
This is for Huawei Mediapad T1 S8-701w/u aka Mediapad T1 Honor.
As we all know this device has LOCKED bootloader and it is not rootable (only russsia firmware for s8-701u is)!
I am not responsible for bricks so procede at your own risk!
Read whole process before you begin.

First backup everything including internal SDcard!

1) This process will install factory unlocked ROM with just basic testing apps you will loose your curent ROM( we will return it on step 3)
Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7RlBIN4xO50RUxqU1E2ZGJmRUk/view?usp=sharing
Extract and copy dload folder do root of your removable sdcard (external sdcard)​
Power off device​
Hold volume down and turn on device​
Wait till install process is done and device is booted again​

2) Install custom TWRP recovery
Connect device to computer (ADB, fastboot needed and drivers installed)​
Download recovery.img from http://d-h.st/saW and copy to same folder with adb and fastboot​
Type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once you are in bootloader (huawei logo) :​
Code:
fasboot flash recovery recovery2.img
When done reboot (hold power button) or:​
Code:
fastboot reboot

3) Now lets recover our original ROM:
Download rom for your device ( 701u or 701w)​
Here are some links:​

Here is western europe images for S8-701w I use this one
It is the best available firmware for 701w (also multilanguage)https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7RlBIN4xO50QlFVSFZkWlhRX2c/view?usp=sharing

I can provide more firmwares but i have slow upload speed so I ask for someone here who can reupload them. I will send him link to inbox (limited download).

Extract UPDATE.app from firmware​
Download Huawei extractor (windows tool)​
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Open UPDATE.app with Huawei update extractor and extract SYSTEM.img and CUST.img (right click on images)​
Copy SYSTEM.img and CUST.img to your fastboot folder​
Reboot to bootloader​
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once you are in bootloader (huawei logo) :​
Code:
fasboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fasboot flash cust CUST.img
Turn device off and boot to recovery (hold vol down and turn on)​
In recovery: Factory reset (format /data) and reboot.​

Done!!

If you get stuck in bootloder unable to boot in recovery:
flash and boot into stock recovery to clear bootloder flag
then you can flash TWRP again
Here it is:http://d-h.st/in71 (stock recovery)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img

To ROOT flash http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu in recovery

Recovery: newest TWRP http://d-h.st/saW
BUGS:

Internal sdcard is mounted to /data/media, while on device /storage/emulated so use external SDcard.
Also because of wrong mounts when you do wipe it will delete everything on internal SDcard (only /data/media will stay)
TOUCH dont work when booted: just wait till screen off timeout (10s), then press power to turn screen on it will work now


Sorry for bad english!

Thank you very much for all, iodac.
But in 2019, some http: //d-h.st / ... links do not work.
I was forced to find TWRP recovery in other forums.
Also, "the best available firmware for 701w (also multilanguage)" does not seem so. He lacks the phone program and has frequent wifi connection interruptions.
"Huawei extractor" is not needed for "western europe images for S8-701w": 7zip is enough.
I found and tested the Chinese version, which I removed some "bloatware" through the Root Browser Classic (free) program. I live in Europe. I've replaced AppCenter with Google Play. So far, everything is fine.
For curiosity, here is the list of programs I've removed:
Amap, AppCenter, Browser, Email (I do not need, I use Gmail), Exchange Services, Google Pinyin, HiCare, My Email, QQBrowser, WPS Office.

Hey, I'm wondering if you can link me the best firmware and twrp, I really don't wanna brick my tablet accidentally, also how does yours work? Does it still lag after what you've done? Mine lags badly and can't install most apps so I need to tweak build.prop

    Another Success!!! (after some frustration)

    Alright! Another 701w unlocked/rooted.

    I followed the steps in the first posts, everything went well but I had to flash stock recovery and boot into that and then flash TWRP again to get rid of the bootloader-loop (as the first post describes also).

    BUT... I installed a stock chinese ROM and didn't get Google Apps. So I had to try different google-installations and finally found one that worked, a play store apk. Whole evening went for this sh--t but now it works! I'll post the steps here in case anyone else wonders :)

    -----------

    1) - Install factory unlocked ROM

    copy dload folder to root of sdcard
    power off
    vol down and power on

    2) - Install custom TWRP recovery

    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot flash recovery recovery2.img
    fastboot reboot

    3) - Install new ROM
    http://www.needrom.com/download/huawei-mediapad-t1-8-0/

    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot flash system system.img
    fastboot flash cust cust.img

    4) - Install stock recovery

    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
    turn off
    vol down turn on to enter stock recovery
    recovery\factory reset\format data
    recovery\reboot

    5) - Root

    copy supersu to your unit
    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot boot recovery2.img
    twrp: install\superSU
    clean dalvik\cache
    reboot

    6) - Install Google Play Store
    http://www.androidauthority.com/google-play-store-material-design-408536/

    adb install Google Play Store_com.android.vending_4.9.13_80290013.apk


    Done!

    Now that we are unlocked we should make some presure (send emails) to Huawei to release kernel source!

    Have you uncheck "Mount namespace separation" in SuperSu?
