Ascend XT2 B130 Update and CleanRom Rom's

clsA · Apr 27, 2018

Well here we go
This is the First Update for the XT2 in a flashable rom

This is for those who unlocked their bootloader and installed TWRP and can not take OTA update on their phones

As most here know ower version of TWRP is not complete and cannot decrypt the /data partition
so unfortunately you'll have to wipe your phone to install this update (sorry)
Note This also Removes TWRP and restores Stock Recovery

Flashing instructions
download and copy the Stock_B130_ XT2_H1711.zip to your ex_sdcard
copy Magisk-v16.0.zip to your ex_sdcard (just in case you need to patch the boot.img)
Boot into TWRP swipe to allow system access
Go to Settings check Use rm -fr instead of formatting
next choose Wipe / Format Data / Type "yes" to confirm
Now choose Home / Install /Select storage Micro sd /Stock_B130_ XT2_H1711.zip and Flash it (watch the flash for any Red Errors)
choose wipe cache and then reboot.

If everything went well you should be on B130 and ready to setup your phone
Huge thanks go to @m0000 for sharing his updated files

If you have any problems you'll need to reflash TWRP and Try patching the boot.img with Magisk or restore your last backup or simply flash my B120 stock rom

XT2 B130 CleanRom

Now that you have a Stock updated phone you may want to remove all the AT&T Bloat

Here's my CleanRom that removes around 350mb of useless junk from the phone.

First you'll need to flash TWRP back to your phone from fastboot
download recoveryV3_Fixed.zip > https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939832036
and extract it to your fastboot folder
Shutdown the phone
reboot to the bootloader (power + volume down + plugged in to the PC)
and flash it from command prompt with
fastboot flash recovery recoveryV3_Fixed.img
next reboot to TWRP (power + volume up )

Now you can Download the CleanRom and copy it to your ext_sdcard from your pc.

Flashing instructions are the same as above, but you can do a dirty flash by not formatting data like above if you want to keep your current apps

Here's the list of whats removed

The rom includes the patched boot.img from magisk v16 (it's rooted)
This will probably be the only rom I release for this phone because I don't own one.

Yes will need to start over ( TWRP & Magisk )
Your phone will be bone stock after flashing the rom

Alright. I just want to confirm that the update was successful

Out of curiosity I wanted to see if I could relock the bootloader and that finally worked too. (see screenshot) I was never able to do that before on the B120 stock rom so this is great news if I ever decide to sell the phone or just wanna get SafetyNet working correctly.

I went ahead and unlocked my bootloader again and I flashed TWRP through fastboot, Booted into TWRP and flashed magisk v16 in the OP, rebooted and I am enjoying root again with an updated phone.

Thanks again guys!

So does anybody know how hard it would be to compile lineage os 14.1 for the elate/ xt2?

I have no idea but that sure would be awesome! I am guessing it would be a real pain due to the fact Huawei has not released the source code for this phone.

If you need a guinea pig for future testing let me know. I have one with your CleanRom and a stock unlocked one for any and all future updates.

Thanks!

I really liked this phone, i was actually impressed. I had money to spend on a new budget phone and I was between a ZTE blade spark and this huawei.
ZTE was ok for me because a couple of years ago i bought one of their big phones but their camera sucked a lot of blur and never had focus. sometimes i even had to touch the screen again and again to make it focus, while capturing video. So i gave a shot to this Huawei, went to walmart, they wanted 89 for the phone, told them to check online because it was 69 online and they lowered me the price right away.

then used the huawei for about an hour and damn, the camera is awesome, and the LCD screen is beautiful.

I have to research on how to unlock the bootloader and pay the 5bucks to make that happen.
One thing i noticed is that altho the phone has a 16gb capacity, i was looking at the storage area and you actually end up having something like 7.3gigs free. Is that normal? most of the space is taken by the rom. Your clean rom would help a lot at least to get more space, but how come it only frees 300megs.

and thank you very much for the update. i do know how damn hard it is to update at&t gophones because those assholes only let you update the phone if you have an att simcard inserted that is also activated and you have to be with an IP that is inside USA, and have celular data ON, and sometimes even having all that.. it doesnt even update

@clsA

At&t is trying to push another software update to my phone. Is this the B130 we already have or a new one?

Looks like b173
You would need to return to stock b130
To attempt the update

Awesome, i'll check it out. Are the ads annoying? or can disable with a proper ad blocker?

Thanks
