At our store here in Indy we were taking customers phones that did not yet have get the 2.2 update and was using the 2.2 update.zip to update people OTW.
You don't already have to 2.2 installed for the update.zip to work. You just need a stock 2.1 phone with stock recovery on it.
Thank you Whosdaman.
I'm sure it will be helpfull!

Now if we can root it from here and get rid of the bloatware we'll be good! But this is great now my wife's phone is up to date(somewhat,I told her not to buy a phone just because it's pink!).
Will this wipe data? My brother has this phone and doesnt want the update unless he can keep his texts/apps/etc.
Thanks!
I get a verification fail
i wish there was a .tar for froyo that i could just flash straight to a completely stock version of it like there is with 2.1

Ok all, waiting is finally over. Thanks for being so patient! I got the donate version up on the market, if you dont have the market in your country or can't make the purchase I will have a free version out (w/ banner ads) in a couple of days once I finish testing that version.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bandroidx.motobravo.bootstrap
Couple of notes:
1) When you hit the bootstrap button the first time, it could take a few seconds, wait until you get a success message before touching the screen again. if you get a force close message, please select wait. Usually it takes just 3-5 seconds. It can take longer though especially if you have just rooted, i recommend rebooting after rooting always.
2) After you bootstrap recovery you do not need to bootstrap again until you update to a new version of my app, after upgrading you should bootstrap once. After that you just load the app and hit reboot recovery.
3) If you are not familiar with the bootstrap process (like on the dx/d2) please be aware this does not replace your stock recovery like regular CWM. The Custom recovery can only be started by loading the app and clicking bootstrap recovery.
4) Tested more on 2.2 but 2.1 should also be fine if you havent upgraded yet (why?)
Heydabop is working on his CWM flashable boot animation and I am going to start looking into doing a bravo ROM. Thanks for all heydabop's awesome graphics!

download the rom to the sd card.
open my bravo recovery app
click "bootstrap recovery" and wait until it says success.
then click reboot recovery.
then it will reboot into cwm. then choose to install a zip from the sdcard using vol up and down to move up and down, and use the menu button on the front to select the option you want and use back to go back.
I clicked on backup and restore, was that the right thing to do to do a nandroid backup?
It's frozen on a black screen. :/
I hit home button, which led to random screen. Sorry. I'm new to using roms, if you havent noticed..

actually that brings up a good point, the home button toggles the screen on and off. this is useful for rare cases where the recovery starts with the screen off, etc. its also good if you are going to be working in adb in recovery for a while because it will drain battery fast, turning off the display may help a little.

check your pm's.
When i pull the battery and then put it back in to boot up, shouldn't the recovery boot first? The droid x recovery bootstrap does that. It would be a good feature to have because if i brick my phone and can't boot into recovery, i can't restore a backup.
Tell me if I'm doing something wrong, thanks
Is there any difference?
I've been running the leak since it was released and now see that the official update is out.
How do I go about upgrading?
I've seen no bugs with the leak.

014 in the development section is the official stock rom...not sure if you tried any games on the leak but the touch screen issues is one of the biggest flaws. Some apps that didn't function well on the leak seem to work now as well. Upgrading would be the same as how you did with the leak...place the update.zip on the root of the sdcard and hold up volume button + power upon starting up the tablet and you should be good...if you already have the bootloader unlocked and already installed a new recovery (cwm or teamwin) then just put the zip on your sdcard...load up recovery and install (wipe everything as usual of course)

What steps are you doing? Make sure the update.zip is in fact named just that: update.zip, and make sure it is on the external_sd. A nice cleanly formatted microSD card is a good idea.
The normal steps. Rename the file to update.zip and boot into stock recovery.

Got it to update.
Figured out I wasn't putting it on mnt/external sd or whatever.
Who would of known there were so many different little levels on tablet with its own set of folders.
If it wasn't for es file explorer or whatever it's called and it's favorite button I would of never seen it and known what I was doing wrong.
So I am now up to date and the touch screen is amazing, and spot on.
I was wondering why I would try to copy text and it would never select or if it did select it would select text on a entire different area of the screen.
My gf manages her Vista print website front the tablet and always complained of never being able to hit the right buttons or it would select a entire different area of the Web Page editor.
We never put 2 and 2 together that it was a touch screen issue.
Because I never seen another bug and thought the release was pretty stable and efficient.

ok so i have figured out how to go back and re-install HC 3.2. i took a pic of that version. then i got the update. another pic of version .then i ended up at 3.2.1 and then nothing. system update always says your system is up to date. i tried registering because the tablet asked for it. i did it. (it told me i was previously registered.) anyways, my girlfriends daughter has an a100 and it updated naturally and here is a pic of her version on her tablet. no one has mentioned this version anywhere that i have found. anyone heard or seen this version? is there something i need to do to get the update juices flowing? i been checking every 5 or 10 minutes with no luck....

Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
let me give you some background info. I have owned my (AT&T) glide for less than a month coming from a overclocked milestone with CM7. Almost everyday I turn my computer on I go to XDA and skim over the rooting guides and the custom roms available. And then I read the "Read Before Updating" thread that says ICS is coming and it puts me off again. Even though my phone is unlocked and outside of the US now, so I not 100% certain I'll get anything. Every day I also check for updates on my phone, force check and everything.
So my question to you guys is this: Shall I patiently continue to wait it out in the fruitless hope something may well happen in the next month or two or bite the bullet and loose the bloatware now? I'm sure its a question on the minds of many glide owners right now
I put CWM + Osimood on mine just to get rid of the US-Centric bloatware, and am liking the cleanness of it. As you're in the UK too one thing you might sway you is that Osimood is based on Rogers which allows you to switch off 4G to save battery.
Why wait? Once it's out, it's pretty good chance it will be available here (or samfirmware). If you waited, would you even be able to get the AT&T OTA update through your UK operator? I would think you'd have to be on the AT&T home network to get the OTA.
But then again, it would take Samsung forever to finally get the ICS out for the CG.

Agreed since you are not in the States and on the AT&T Network I would Root and install a clean Rom with no BLoatware. Then when we get the ICS you simply flash it.
Thanks for the replies guys
When I check for an update it does say it checks the AT&T server, whether its actually checking the AT&T server or its just a generic message and it actually checks my provider server who knows.
Think I'm going to bit the bullet and get it rooted today
Go for it! There's so much more you can do when you're rooted. I'll never go back.

Just rooted it now, (well halfway there) seemed pretty easy to do, at least easier than my last phone.
when you flash the rom over you you do it in PDA section too or another option?

If you did Clock work mod the instructions are:
1. Launch odin (v1.82 tested)
2. Boot your phone in "Download mode"
3. Select PDA in odin and choose the file "CWMR_recovery.tar.md5"
4. ONLY "auto reboot" must be check !!
Then just put aradat's kernel via CWM and your rooted. That is what I started with. Now I just flash everything with CWM and no longer touch Odin.
Right all fully rooted up.
In CWM it asks what device and only gives the choice of epic 4g and i9000 I tried the later and attempted to back up my current Rom and got and explanation mark in a triangle and a droid on my screen. not much happened for a few mins so i pulled the battery and rebooted it.
Any idea which I should select?
Thanks for all the help BTW

Where does it ask you that? I did not get any prompts. I just went to flash from SD card and then chose the file I wanted to flash. Took a few minutes then the flash was complete and on reboot it took a little while in setting everything up and then I got the Google prompt for an account to use. Oh and if you say thanks feel free to use the thank you button.
Probably talking about the CW App on the Market (not supported, don't use it!)
Sorry for confusing you, not in recovery, in Rom manager.
Ive actually put mine down now and just spent the last few hours trying to root my girlfriend's HTC Sensation, which has been a bit more long winded.

Really, it's super-easy to install the backlight fix, and you don't even have to root or muck around all that much. You flash CWM in odin, which takes about 30 seconds, and then boot into CWM and flash a single zip file, which should take at most a minute including the reboot time. Tada, keyboard light is fixed.

That requires root access and messing with stock recovery right? Although it can be done quickly, it could mess up any future official ICS update...you know, an official build that has the backlight fix + other fixes. I'd rather not deal with unrooting, getting stock recovery back on, and still have a risk of a soft brick....all for a backlight fix. For my scenario ICS can wait or never be applied on the glide. My wife doesn't care .

It actually doesn't require root access, just a custom recovery, which is flashed from the PC. You can then replace it with a stock recovery, if you prefer.

I made a walkthrough for the entire leak here, but I'll snip it down and just assume you're running some form of ICS now that's completely stock:
bakageta said:
To fix the keyboard backlight bug, you'll need the following:
Odin 1.85
Clockworkmod Recovery
The Keyboard Backlight fix The one labeled LH2 is for the official, the one labeled CWM is for the leak. If you're not sure what you're on, go to About Phone, and check the Baseband Version, if it ends in LH2 you're on the official, if it ends in LG9 it's the leak.
Optionally, SuperUser 3.2 RC3 if you'd like root.
First, make sure you have Kies installed, so that you have the correct USB drivers. Download the 4.0.4 .exe file from here. Power off your phone, hold Volume Up and Power to turn it back on. Keep holding them until you get a screen warning you about custom software, and release, then press volume up again to enter download mode. Hook the phone up to your pc and run Odin 1.85. Uncheck "F. Reset Time" and make sure that the only box checked is Auto Reboot, you shouldn't need to change anything else. Click on the PDA button, and load the clockworkmod .md5 file you downloaded, then press the start button and wait for the device to reboot.
This time you'll reboot into recovery. Power the phone off, hold the volume down and power button to turn the phone one. Keep holding them until you see text about entering recovery in the top left, and release. Use the volume keys to navigate and power to select, and go to Install zip from sdcard. Select the keyboard backlight fix zip. Once that's finished, if you'd like to be rooted, repeat the process to flash a zip, and this time select Choose zip from sdcard, selecting the superuser zip you downloaded earlier. Select Yes, and wait for superuser to flash. If you plan on keeping Clockwork Mod Recovery, you should make a backup now. To do so, select Backup and restore, and backup. This will take a bit, just be patient. When you're finished, select reboot system now, and you should be set.
From here, if you rooted you can install something like Titanium Backup, which will use root access to let you remove the various AT&T bloatware.

Yeah backlight isn't working sorry, someone on a blog had said so. Very unprofessional of samsung. A rom cooked with cm9 willl have to include the backlight fix

It actually doesn't require root access, just a custom recovery, which is flashed from the PC. You can then replace it with a stock recovery, if you prefer.
I made a walkthrough for the entire leak here, but I'll snip it down and just assume you're running some form of ICS now that's completely stock:

Cool, thanks for the info. Good to know root is not required. I'll still hold off on the update but I'm sure others will apply ICS+backlight fix.
I updated last night, and I can report that after ending any call the phone app reports a hard stop rather than just going away, and that resets your cell connection. And I imagine the keyboard backlight will be fixed very soon. But did these issues exist on the leaked rom in its first release and then programmers modified to get them back?

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

Amazon shopping
App select
Call Protect
Protect Plus

everything in the H1711z folder
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.
Awesome. Thank you! So if I flash magisk after I should be able to keep my root then?

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!

thanks for the update! All we need now is a @clsA CleanRom for this version
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

You would need to return to stock b130
To attempt the update
