I think i bricked my Mediapad M3. :crying:
I cannot enter Android and also not TWRP to flash the System new. So how can i flash the System? I dont know how to enter fastboot mode without android.
Thanks for every help to get my System back again!

Do you get any start screens?

Try different combinations of:
* Power, VOL+
* Power, VOL-
* Power, VOL+,VOL-
Where you always press them all at the same time.
While you do this keep your tablet connected to your PC and load it to 100%.
Try different length of pressing the buttons, if you feel multiple vibrations leave the button after the first and then after the second and so on.

If you didn't wipe the Recovery partition you should get your tablet back alive. I was struggling the whole Saturday because my button combo changed from VOL+ and Power to all three buttons at the same time.

Thank you sebbo2015!
I managed to enter fastboot mode by pressing Power + VOL down while USB-cabel is connected to PC.
I flashed greatslon image and after a Reset everything seems to work for now.

But it would be nice to have a stock european ROM. I didn't wipe the system-recovery partition, but do you know how to restore it?
eRecovery mode doesn't work and HiSuite (Windows) says my ROM works well so i can not perform a System-Recovery.

Any idea how to get back to stock?

eRecovery will start working once huawei sets up its own servers to support it. Should be a matter of time. I haven't found Factory Update.app for M3 yet. Right now only options is to do fastboot update.

I installed the Chinese stock system.img only. With a real keyboard you can do the login and then remove all the Chinese system apps and install google play-store from downloaded APK file. For me this is ok for the moment. Till now I dont need LTE.

If someone with a European Stock on his device could just create a .img file we wouldn't need to wait for huawei. I don't get why they need time to set this stuff up anyway.
