The device in question: huawei site and gsm arena.
Some advice before buying/rooting:
- DO NOT buy the Chinese version if you have a choice. Due to some licencing issues the C233B003 has NEITHER google services NOR google play/GMail/YouTube apps installed by default (GApps're actually disabled - but cannot be turned on without rooting&using a Chinese script)
- Due to a blocked bootloader you cannot flash a European version of the ROM to a Chinese tablet - fortunately the Chinese ROM is Android 4.1.2 and has English language (but no gapps)
- the Chinese ROM has a lot of rubbish installed - Chinese internet browsers, their own store etc.
Before flashing any ROMs you need to remember that there are 3 types of these devices:
- S10-101w - the Wifi only version
- S10-101L - LTE edition
- S10-101u - 3g edition
Chinese ROM can downloaded here (huawei website).
ROM I used for S10-101w is available for direct download here.
ROM I used for S10-101w is available for direct download here.
Rooting & GApps for S10-101w C233B003/C233B001 can be download here.
(MediaPad 10 FHD固件（S10-101w，Android4.1，C233B003，中国区WIFI 4.1版本）)
Rooting process & installing Google apps:
Root
1. [Optional if already installed on a tablet] Download a Chinese ROM - Android 4.1, C233B003 (for S10-101w version)
2. Power on the device, connect the usb cable (in HiSuite mode) - download and install HiSuite from a link (or from a website).
2. Disconnect usb cable, connect it again and select MTP mode - there should a device "Huawei MediaPad" in "My computer"
3. Run "Root.bat" from the package in folder /Huawei_MediaPad_10_FHD_ChineseVersion_C233B003_C233B001_Root_And_Google_Apps/1_BootloaderUpdate/Huawei_S10-101w_V100R002C233B003_Root_Repair_Downgrade . The process takes about 12 minutes. Includes several restarts and displays several errors - in the end you should have a rooted pad.
4. Check that you have a super su app on the tablet and that you have root privileged.
Google apps:
5. The tablet is missing Google services which are required to run e.g. Google Play Store. Transfer "ActiGSM.apk" to your freshly rooted tablet and install it. Then run the script (by just simply running the application for an application drawer) which will enable google services and all google apps on your tablet.
Will this work for
ReplyDeleteS10-101L( LTE edition ) the international edition ?
and do i have to install the Chinese version of ROM first ?
Hi, I haven't tried this rooting method on an S10-101L device, so I cannot guarantee that it will work. Personally I think the rooting method will NOT work on an 'L' device (because of the the different ROM version).
DeleteHere's the ROM to the EU version of the tablet:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=4057&tb=0);
As you can see it is 'C001B010SP02';
Also I think that you cannot force a Chinese ROM to a European version of the tablet, just as you cannot force a European version to a Chinese hardware (It's blocked in the bootloader - you'd have to baypass that somehow).
The easiest method to differentiate between the EU and Chinese version of the hardware is to look for the Google logo on the back - if it's there - you have a EU version.
Fast and clear answer .
DeleteThanks a lot my good sir , too bad that i can't root it as it is the EU version , i mean yes it comes with Full Google support , but rooting is needed for installing Ubuntu on the tablet :(
I cannot find the correct root file to download for my S10-101u. The huawei website is in chinese and very confusing. Can you please direct me to the appropriate website/link to download Chinese ROM for S10-101u?
Deletethank you
Remember that: Due to a blocked bootloader you cannot flash a European version of the ROM to a Chinese tablet.
DeleteFor Chinese, Android 4.1, S10-101u - Try this link:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDIyNDQ=
And click on the red rectangle.
thank you for replying so fast. I'm new at this so excuse my inexperience... what do you mean by "cannot flash a European version of the ROM to a Chinese tablet"? I bought my tablet from China and GPlayStore doesn't work on it (I can't even install GPlay, Chrome Drive).
DeleteSo do I follow the above instructions to root it? and then will Google application will work?
Thx
Yes, then this tutorial is EXACTLY for you. I've also bought my device from China and was really disappointed when I found out that the device had no gapps. I thought it's impossible to buy a 399$ device with no Google Play. I was a little bit pissed at that time.
DeleteBy cannot flash a European version of the ROM to a Chinese tablet" I meant that you cannot flash a European ROM to a Chinese device (European ROM has gapps by default)... and also the other way round - you cannot flash a Chinese ROM to a European device.
I was very upset at Huawei too. Here in Greece the official Huawei representative refuses to assit me beacuse this devise is not sold in Greece yet!!!
DeleteThe above link has been removed from Huawei website and can't find the file to download. Can you suggest a different website to download it?.
thank you
Mr. Kosarzycki,
ReplyDeleteWill you help me step-by-step via Skype to root my Huawei Mediapad 10 fhd and install/run Google Play Store? I will donate via Paypal.
Please contact me at: mark.stubert@gmail.com
Thank you
Hey Bartosz,
ReplyDeleteJust a quick word of thanks. Your root process worked great on my 101u(3G) version of the device.
Thanks again!
Tim
Tim,
DeleteFrom where did you download the GApps for 101u(3G)? The links shared by Bartosz is for 101w(WiFi only).
please i have the same problem with my 101u(3G) any help !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bartosz for writing such a helpful blog on rooting Huawei Mediapad 10" Tablet PCs that are purchased from China.
ReplyDeleteI'm also facing the same trouble & was halfway thru' your step-by-step guide only to Pause at not being able to get the Root & GApps S10-101u from anywhere possible. Can you please help. Thanks in advance.
I'd love to help you but I came into possession of these helpful scripts from a Chinese forum somewhere (which is no longer available). It was only for w&l versions. I figured that I can write this tutorial to help those who cannot speak Chinese.
Delete@tschallb wrote that it worked on his 3G version. Maybe you could ask him to post a link somewhere in the comments below this post.... or send me a link and I will upload it.
One more thing... (if you don't know this already...) The "ActiGSM.apk" should work for you with no additional problems.... getting root privileges is your problem as in my 7zip there are only methods for w&l devices....
DeleteThanks Bartosz,
DeleteI appreciate your quick response. I did put a request to Tim on his reply & yes, the ActiGSM.apk is common for all hardware types, but the rooting kit needs to be particular for a given model U vs W vs L
Hello, good day. First of all, thanks for the post. I have been looking something like this for awhile. I have the same problem with my device. Please excuse my inexperience, I would really appreciate it if I can get some clarifications.
ReplyDelete1) In step #2, do I just run HiSuite on my computer, put the tablet in HiSuite mode, then disconnect to get to step #3?
2) In steps #3 and #4, after I select MTP mode, where do I run "Root.bat" from? Do I transfer it first to the tablet then run it, or do I just run it directly on my computer? Do I need to run it from a specific folder (tablet/computer)? I tried both several times but I'm sure I didn't do it right.
Thank you.
