2 Maintenance Instructions
2.1 Application Scope
This document provides instructions for the maintenance of Huawei products by technical
personnel at service sites authorized by Huawei. This manual is Huawei proprietary and is
only permitted to be used by authorized service sites or companies. Although every effort has
been made to ensure the accuracy, mistakes may still be found. If you find any error or have
any suggestions, contact our customer service personnel.
2.2 Maintenance Precautions
Only qualified technicians are allowed to perform maintenance and calibration.
Always wear ESD wrist straps during operation and conduct the maintenance in an ESD
room.

charger. Insert the Micro SD card into the board, and the upgrade will be performed
automatically after the board is powered on.
Step 4 When the upgrade is completed, remove the SD card and press and hold the POWER button
to restart the device.
5.2.2 Troubleshooting
During the update using the SD card, if the device presents a flash screen indicating the
upgrade failure, check for any mis-operation or incorrect upgrade version. You can remove
the SD card and try it again or change the SD card.
Method to check whether the SD card is damaged:
Because the size of the upgrade package of some version is large, try to open the compressed
upgrade package that is copied to the SD card to check for damage. Remove and plug the SD
card before you open the compressed upgrade package. If you open the compressed upgrade
package directly, the opened package may be a cache on the PC. Alternatively, you can check
the reliable storage capacity of the SD card with the MyDiskTest (an SD card check tool) to
ensure that the size of the upgrade package does not exceed the storage capacity of the SD
card. For more information, see the appendix of this chapter.
When the system is powered on, quickly press the VOLUME_UP button and the
VOLUME_DOWN button. If it is the first time for your PC to connect the USB, the message
"Found New Hardware" will be displayed, which indicates that the system has entered the
USB upgrade mode successfully, as shown in the following figure.
5.3.2 Installing the USB Device Driver
If the driver has not been installed before, you must install the driver on the PC before the
update using the USB.
Step 1 When the MediaPad is connected, it enters into the Emergency Download mode, and a
window is displayed, showing the port Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. If the port
driver has not been installed before, a message for installing the driver will be displayed.
If the Q/QCP-XXX (Download) port is not found in the Select Port window, right-click the
icon in the taskbar on the lower right corner to display the QPST Configuration window. In the
displayed window, click Ports, and click Add New Port. In the Add New Port window displayed,
select corresponding USB/QC Diagnostic port. Double-click the selected port to add it to Port on the
right. Then click OK.
Step 4 Click Load XML def, and open the modem folder in the upgrade package in the displayed
box. Then select rawprogram0.xml in the modem folder. If the file is successfully opened,
the save path of rawprogram0.xml will be displayed in Seach path1.
Step 5 Click Load patch def, and open the modem folder in the upgrade package in the displayed
box. Then select patch0.xml in the modem folder (this step is mandatory; otherwise, the
MediaPad startup will fail).
Step 6 Select Search path2, and click the icon for browsing. Then select the apps folder in the
upgrade package in the Seach Path Folder window.
Step 7 When all preceding steps are completed, the Download button will become clickable. Then
Step 8 After the upgrade is completed, press and hold the Power button for more than 10 seconds to
re-start the MediaPad.
5.3.4 Troubleshooting
Click Download, if the following dialog box for installing the driver is displayed, as shown in
the following figure. You can ignore it, because you may enter the trusted mode that requires
no driver (USB MassStorage port is used in the trusted mode).
Step 1 In this mode, the message "Remote devices wait for time out" will be displayed occasionally,
or the message "Image Download Failed. Cookie (if present) not received" will be displayed
during restart.
In these cases, you may repeat the preceding steps. If the download fails, restart the MediaPad
and connect it to the PC to check whether the upgrade is conducted in the trusted mode using
the QPST software (that is, the Qualcomm MMC Storage USB Device is displayed). Then
perform the upgrade using the USB according to the steps for upgrade in the trusted mode.
Name: constant-temperature hot air gun
Purpose: heat components
Step 2If the message "Phone is not in download mode" is displayed, you may not uncheck Program
Boot Loaders (mandatory for upgrade in the trusted mode). Then uncheck Program Boot
Loaders as shown in the following figure.
Click Scan&&Download, if the message "port open" is displayed, check whether the driver
is properly installed, and whether DBAdapter Reserved Interface port functions well.

VDD_QFUSE_PRG must be powered down before any of the pad power supplies are powered down
The VDD_QFUSE_PRG pin should be connected to a 1.8 V power supply only for blowing fuses;
otherwise, this pin must be grounded and never be left floating.
The kernel system power-on waveform is shown in the following figure.
Analysis: Adjust the DC regulated power supply to 5 V/3 A, and connect it to the PRO_DC
interface for power-on. When the device is powered on, the current exceeds 500 mA. In this
case, the power-on failure is usually caused by improper SMT or IC damage. For the
maintenance procedures, see Figure 9-1, Figure 9-2, and Figure 9-3.
Analysis: Adjust the DC regulated power supply to 5 V/3 A, and connect it to the PRO_DC
interface for power-on. When the device is powered on, the current is below 70 mA. In this
case, the power-on failure is usually caused by improper eMMC programming or SMT. For
the maintenance procedures, see Figure 9-1, Figure 9-2, and Figure 9-3.

9.3 Charge Failure
The Mediapad charging management circuits are shown in the following figure.
Principle: The DC regulated power supply provides the 5 V/3 A power supply to the DC-DC
circuits in the MAX8903, and MAX8903 and the power is output through VBAT and
VPH_PWR respectively.
Analysis: The U48 manages the charging of S7 Pro. For the maintenance procedures upon
charge failure, see the Appendix 1 (diagram of PRO components).
The SIM_CD indicates the PIN of the SIM card and is used for identifying the SIM card.
When the SIM card is inserted, the voltage of SIM_CD changes from a high level to a low
level.
Remark: For the maintenance procedures, see Appendix 1 (diagram of PRO components).
Perform the eMMC programming again (U12).
The SDC3_CARA_CD indicates PIN of the SD card and is used for identifying the SD card.
When the SD card is inserted, the voltage of SDC3_CARA_CD changes from a high level to
a low level. The MSM8260 determines that the SD card is available. Then call the SD card
driver to access the SD card.
In the case of no sound from the speaker, check for sound output after the S7 Pro is connected
to the TV through the HDMI. If there is sound, repair the device according to the following
chart.
As shown in the block diagram, the transmitter includes high frequency, intermediate
frequency, and low frequency channels. The IQ signal is transmitted to the built-in power
amplifier through the up-converter. The AGC is used to control the power output, and the
AGC circuit includes a power detector to achieve a transmit power control range greater than
85 dB. The output radio frequency signal is sent to the front-end module, and transmitted by
the antenna to QTR8615. After the signal is amplified in the internal LNA, it is
down-converted to I/Q baseband signal.
The device supports WCDMA that uses the frequency band of 5 MHz and GSM that uses the
frequency band of 4 MHz.
