Tested Xposed Framework only works on V2.5.1 (XPOSED Framework V2.5.1Link) Not all functions works but at least some.
Reason why V2.7 not working look at Rovo89 post explaination
Yellow Screen
Opened 4G FDD-LTE Function : HERE , HERE , (Chinese)
removes Chinese characters from contacts/dialer
1. Download latest Official Full ROM from EMUI's site (L02, L12), HuaweiUpdateExtractor and adb.
2. Unzip ROM and open UPDATE.APP with HuaweiUpdateExtractor.
3. Extract SYSTEM.img and RECOVERY.img (delete .header files that HuaweiUpdateExtractor generates you need only .img files) and put them in adb folder.
4. Boot in fastboot and conect to PC.
5. Open cmd.exe from adb folder and type (or copy-paste) the follow commands one by one:
Code:fastboot devicesCode:fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img6. Put dload folder, you extracted before from Full ROM, with UPDATE.APP to root of your SD.Code:fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
7. Detach USB cable from phone, turn it off and boot it up with holding all 3 buttons (POWER, VOLUM UP, VOLUME DOWN) untill you see EMUI installation Screen.
This is a full restoration method that means that will lost data, root etc.
You can skip steps 6 and 7 and do local update, instead of 3btns installation, after step 5 so you will not lose data. Related post
