Mate 7 Upgrade to Lollipop TL10



Hi guys,

So I just noticed that a lot of us are having a hard time with Mate 7's latest firmware B324. Some people are posting questions whether it's ok to upgrade from this version or that to B324. Only a handful of people were able to upgrade to LP without problems -- and when I say without problems, people who were able to upgrade their phones without any bugs.

Anyway, I just want to share with you guys what I have experienced. And I want to show you what I did.

I did 3 downgrades, all of them were because of the bugs found in B324.

THESE ARE ONLY APPLICABLE TO TL10
1. B120SP04 -> B324 (I did not do a factory reset. I flashed it manually)
  • Smart Screenshot works. Cannot get circle motion screenshot to work.
    Scrolling is a bit laggy.
    2 separate instances of Message app running
    Motion Control is present


2. B120SP04 -> B324 (Cleared cache partition, reformatted phone. Flashed it manually)
  • Smart Screenshot doesn't work. Cannot get circle motion screenshot to work.
    Scrolling is a bit laggy.
    2 separate instances of Message app running
    Motion Control is present


3. B120SP04 -> B130 -> B324 (Factory reset. Downloaded B130 via OTA)
  • Smart Screenshot doesn't work. Cannot get circle motion screenshot to work.
    Scrolling is a bit laggy.
    2 separate instances of Message app running
    Motion Control is present


4. B120SP04 -> B125SP02 -> B324 (Factory reset after flashing B125)
  • Smart Screenshot works. Cannot get circle motion screenshot to work.
    Scrolling is a bit smoother.
    Only 1 instance of Message app running
    Motion Control is present

Big thanks to wavefaster for helping me with the B125SP02 upgrade.

For people who have upgraded from different version, please do post. I'll update this post so other Mate 7 users can refer to this.
