[ROM][10.0][ LineageOS 17.1 - For Huawei MediaPad M3 8.4 ][ Update 2023-10-15 ]

[mogulman01]

So I went from 15.1 to 17.1. Worked fine, except I'm getting the Play Protect message. I'm using the Gapps Micro. I tried waiting 20-30 minutes and rebooting but it still happens. Do I need to do some other task before waiting 20 minutes?

Now making a little joke ... you can wait until 2022 if you have not previously registered your device !

How to get to Android 7, is there any way, I can't update directly on my device and the updates via dload don't work. Thank you

You could use update.app extractor to get .img files from UPDATE.APP and flash them with fastboot. It won't let you flash all of them but should be enough to get you going in the right direction.
If you have twrp installed it will install factory ota update.zip and hardware_data.zip if you can find them. I couldn't get updates last time I reverted to marshmallow. HWOUC wouldn't connect.

ok...so you still have to get DeviceID using DeviceID APK and then go to the web page and register? Trying now.

This worked.. Sorry.. newbie here.

Now that it is working.. nothing new to report. Facebook Lite=yes, Facebook=No.

Hey , from what I know there is no hardware difference between global and chinese versions only software . Mine is CN LTE version . After I fixed mine cust partition ( broke it by force flashing global EMUI roms ) i was able to flash TWRP and LOS and it is working superb now.
Lookup Huawei firmware site with firmware collection I have provided and try to find android 7 with cust.img and dload folder to fix your partitions. If your goal is to have LOS working i would not care about which rom I install to have it working

Okay, I'm using the Firmware Finder tool, and I've been able to determine that the BTV-W09C128* builds are US, and it looks like B352 should be Android 7 with EMUI 5. I'm pulling down the FullOTA-MF-PV and the OTA-MF. Should I just use the firmware extractor to extract the various bits? From both of those files, or just the Full?

First try to extract cust.img and flash it via fastboot or into twrp using "dd" command !
After you can extract UPDATE.APP from FullOTA-MF-PV zip archive and put it into your microsd card /dload folder !

external_sd/dload/UPDATE.APP

Your device can be on twrp for the above operations !

With your device power off, try to press & keep pressing at the same time all the three hardware buttons until your device will restart to update your device !

This worked.. Sorry.. newbie here.

Now that it is working.. nothing new to report. Facebook Lite=yes, Facebook=No.

Glad to see it's working for you too .

I apologize if I bothered you with the previous post, there was no intention in any way or other ! I said what I thought at the time, and I retract my words !

surdu_petru Thank you very much, I moved from 15.1 to 17.1 today. I'm a big fan of you.

I have a problem that when I try to connect a Gamepad bluetooth controller, it restarts by itself every time. (In case I used Ipeaga PG-9157 which was no problem connecting to another android device)

 

[mogulman01]

I noticed the following apps aren't available from the play store. Your device isn't compatible with this version.

Worked on 15.1.

Schlage Home : smart lock app
MyQ: Garage door control app

Hi surdu_petru

I found a solution to the Rotation problem on BTV-L0J. This is a temporary method.

I installed an app called Sensor Box for Android, and launched it.
Then I tapped Orientation Sensor(I attached a picture), and I went home screen, with the app running in the background.


In this situation that the app is running, the Rotaion works. If I kill the app from background tasks, the Rotation is also off.

I want your advice how to give you some data, for example logcat, etc. I don't have Android sutudio, so do I need to use some apps like aLogcat or CatLog?

Thanks.

Try it with Aurora store and they should be available.

Hi minhhai2403
d-01j(BTV-L0J) is a little bit different from other devices. I assume your Andoid version is 6(Marshmallow), you have unlocked Boot Loader, and you have flashed TWRP.
This case, you can't upgrade to Android7.

So you have to restore to Stock Docomo ROM. How to do that?
It's a little complicated, but if you haven't changed oeminfo, it's relatively easy.

First, you download this file, and unzip it. You go to this directory and copy dload to your device.

BTV-L0JC137B032_Firmware_Japan_NTT DOCOMO_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_05014HWX/Software/release/no-log

You rename UPDATE.APP (it is located in the same file of the dload) to UPDATE.zip and unzip it. Then you fastboot flash recovery.img and recovery2.img(the both located in UPDATE).
Finally, you take your device to dload by pressing Volume +, - and power.

I don't guarantee your success, of course. DISCLAIMER.

If you are japanese speaker, I suggest you visit 5ch.net. This thread is for d-01j(BTV-L0J) users.

Yes, I guess you are right ... I already checked his cust partition from recovery log and seems to be 0 :



Additional if the device not boot on stock EMUI and stuck on bootanimation, you should force to put the device into stock recovery and format data ( in order to encrypted data back ) - after this operation the device will surely boot on stock EMUI ( alreday tested by me when the device stuck on stock EMUI bootanimation )

EDIT:
The link for download stock EMUI it's only for BTV-DL09 and his device it's WiFi only ( BTV-W09 ) - so it is not advisable at all to use that download link !

First try to extract cust.img and flash it via fastboot or into twrp using "dd" command !
After you can extract UPDATE.APP from FullOTA-MF-PV zip archive and put it into your microsd card /dload folder !



Your device can be on twrp for the above operations !

With your device power off, try to press & keep pressing at the same time all the three hardware buttons until your device will restart to update your device !

This did the trick! Thanks for your patience and assistance!! Now happily running LineageOS 15.1!

@Joe3Stix
Hey i had some problem , this is how I solve it :
Download full M3 image from here :
BTV-DL09 (LTE)

Huawei_MediaPad_M3_BTV-DL09_C683B352CUSTC683D001_EMUI5.0_05014EAR_7.0_Dload.zip

drive.google.com

BTV-W09 (WIFI)

Huawei_MediaPad_M3_BTV-W09_C233B025_China_EMUI4.1_05013XFX_6.0_Dload.zip

drive.google.com

Extract cust.img with Huawei Extractor
Boot to bootloader
Flash cust.img via fastboot (fastboot flash cust cust.img)
Extract archive , put dload folder on micro sd
Force update install (Volume up + Volume Down + Power)
And after reboot tablet should boot

Thanks! This resolved my problem and I was able to get Lineage OS 15.1 running!

 

[minhhai2403]

Thank you everyone, I got Android 7, then I installed twrp 3.3.1-1 and installed rom Lineage OS 15.1, but now my sim doesn't work, does anyone know the reason.
And currently I can only install Lineage OS 15.1, the 2 latest versions, Lineage OS 16, Lineage OS 17.1 I installed are all suspended and stopped at this part.

I'm sorry, I know there are some issues on the bluetooth side, unfortunately I can't do much .... there is a lot of devices that are able to connect with our tablet but at the same time there are also some devices that cannot be connected via BT !

I'm sorry, but I can't help you to fix rotation because your device it's not BTV-DL09 or BTV-W09 !
To take a logcat it's very easy :

adb logcat > log.txt

This did the trick! Thanks for your patience and assistance!! Now happily running LineageOS 15.1!

Hey, I'm glad to see that you fixed your issue !

Thank you everyone, I got Android 7, then I installed twrp 3.3.1-1 and installed rom Lineage OS 15.1, but now my sim doesn't work, does anyone know the reason.
And currently I can only install Lineage OS 15.1, the 2 latest versions, Lineage OS 16, Lineage OS 17.1 I installed are all suspended and stopped at this part.

Firstly, TWRP 3.3.1-1 it's for Android 9/10 and not for LOS 15.1!

For SIM issue, you should check LOS 15.1 Thread, I stated there clearly why it's not working and how you can help me to fix it for you !

Apparently it seems like you can't read clearly, a little more than one post and understand installation instructions ...
Therefore let me believe that you cannot install LOS 16.0 or LOS 17.1 precisely for these reasons !

My advice: try to spend more time informing yourself and reading as many posts as possible related LOS 15.1/LOS 16.0 & LOS 17.1 - I'm sure that you'll find yourself what you did wrong or what step do you missed ! Also make sure that you respect 100% step by step Installation instructions ! If you have doubt feel free to ask ... nobody was born learned !

 

[minhhai2403]

Ok, thanks All!

 

[Me,You,and Daigorou]

I'm sorry, but I can't help you to fix rotation because your device it's not BTV-DL09 or BTV-W09 !

Even if it's useless, I would like to offer you my logcat!

The steps
I am Home screen
I launch an app 'Sensor Box for Android', then I tap 'Orientation Sensor'.
I return to the Home screen
I tilt my device to the left 90 degrees (Rotation follows my orientation)
I put my device back on straight (Rotation follows my orientation)
I tilt my device to the right 90 degrees (Rotation follows my orientation)
I put my device back on straight (Rotation follows my orientation)

I kill the app 'Sensor Box for Android' from Background tasks
I tilt my device to the left 90 degrees (Rotation does not follow my orientation)
I tilt my device to the right 90 degrees (Rotation does not follow my orientation)

I press Ctrl + c, finished

 

[Me,You,and Daigorou]

I had to create a zip for upload, sorry.

Hi, I have been trying to install this firmware for a long time.

I have two errors (provided screenshots) on the tablet, but they do not affect the installation, although I would like to solve them if you know how. The first one occurs every time I turn on the tablet, and the second - sometimes (but it happens even several times in a row).

The main problem due to which I cannot install is that every time I unlock the bootloader on emui 5 with "oem unlocking" ON, then after turning tablet on (and often rebooting during startup for different reasons) and further logging in to the system, it turns out that the "oem unlocking" option is gray and disabled, which is why I can not install twrp.
On emui 4, there is no such problem and i can install twrp easily, but you say you shouldn't install lineage on emui 4.
