So what happened i finally rooted my tablet with kingroot (I wasnt allowed to root trough PC because im a kid. So I just used kingroot application. Then i instantly opened the GameGuardian application (exploit for games that works on virtual space or with root). Then I watched few videos how to get unlimited diamonds on Sword art online memory defrag. It did work but at the same time i. couldn't use them. Then i thought hmm. What about TeamWin? (there was no recovery IMG file for my tablet so I just chose a random huawei tablet). I downloaded the IMG file and then flashed it. Then i just noticed what have i done? the tablet didn't even have a OEM unlock option in dev options. Help would be appreciated because that's the tablet I got for my birthday





Thanks,
Andre aka ErasedZim

I mean yeah I did but when I rooted with kroot I rebooted and it was okay. it only happened AFTER I flashed TWRP which wasn't supported on my tablet (It was a huawei tablet flash IMG file but not T1-A21L) Its most likely my fault not kroots fault. But if its the truth then I should find firmware. But where can I find the firmware?

This cant be right. I got redirected to huawei's website. Maybe try again? zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore, because i checked it on my samsung j3 (2016) (another primary phone) aand it redirected me to
https://consumer.huawei.com/cn/emui10-1/ was the website i got redirected to


That's what I got this time. Huawei's sales site, where they're promoting EMUI 10.1. There's nothing to download there. "vmall.com" in your corrected URL is Huawei's sales outlet for China. And you can't do a lot with that, unless you're buying a Huawei device or Huawei accessories in China.

IS your tablet booting into Recovery Mode when you turn it on?

It doesnt boot into anything, because the tablet didnt have a OEM unlock option which icouldve unlocked at my friends place but i was dumb and just flashed Twrp without Having the bootloader unlocked and when i rebooted it just didnt boot its stuck in fastboot and rescue mode and i cant even exit it. If i keep my finger on the power button for like 15 seconds. Nothing. Just nothing only the android saying pHoNe LoCkEd

Hello, so I´ve been away for a while from this forum. I haven´t done anything since I last replied. My old gmail account got terminated and I made a new account : ). Thank you for this method but I can´t open my tablet sadly. I don´t have the right tools for that, but thank you for the image and the video. I am going to try that right now

Back with an update: The tablet no longer shows any life. Its dead lol.
If it still of interst to you: tablet is probably fully discharged....

There is method that allows recharding The mediapad t1-a21l using fastboot and by calling a windows batch file until the tablet becomes charged agsain.
You will need "Minimal ADB and fastboot" installed in Windows.
Create a .bat batch file using the following code:

Code:
" @echo off
:start
fastboot oem battery_present_check
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start
"
