a- Download this zip containing some files we need, extract it and copy the 4 files within to the root of your sd card
b- Install Touch Recovery.apk, launch the app then hit "Install Recovery" this will ask for root permission, when it done, hit "Reboot into Recovery"
c- When in CWM recovery, select "install zip" and look for "Touch Recovery Loader.zip" in your exterbal sd card
d- Selct "install zip" again and this time look for "TWRP_01" and "TWRP_02" install them both one by one.
e- Select Reboot System, when the phone rebootsn first you get to see the HUAWEI ASCEND logo, then the LED light will turn GREEN so quickly keep pressing "volume+" or "vomule-" til the LED light turns RED
f- If you did everything right you should be now in TWRP
2_ In TWRP recovery, select "Install" then flash the zip file you want

Hi Hamdimo.

CM 10.2 on Ascend Mate?
Does anyone know how hard it would be to get CM 10.2 to run on the Ascend Mate? Just got the phone and really love it but can't stand all the bloat which really kills the batty. Love to have something lean and mean like CM running on my phone.
Thanks.

CM 10.1 is the best we can hope for until huawei release a 4.3 or 4.4 rom for the mate and then we will still need a way to flash a custom recovery. Until then our options are very limited.
But the updates its to slow...

MIUI 5 3.8.12 for Huawei Ascend Mate.
Hey all, I found this ROM; an update (I think) to the previous MIUI ROM. I've loaded it up and have had no real problems. Pretty simple install. Skipped the MIUI and GMS downloads. Used latest Google Play apk instead. First off, the bottoms don't show. Go to settings and change nav button height (I changed both portrait and landscape to "52" and it looks nice).
Overall, this MIUI stuff seems pretty slick! =)

hi thegooz,
i hv downloaded it. just in case would you be kind to include how you flash it with a guide? thanks.
i read the guide but just in case someone would want to ask the same question over and over again, they'll have the flashing guide.
i havent install it yet, wanna try when i get back.
by the way, i revert back to B221, will it be compatible? i also had downloaded the Official B907 from the russian site but have not flash yet.
just want to know anyone experiences towards these.
I feel that i've made a mistake.
I try flashing the miui rom from thegooz link. Its stuck in bootloop/keep restarting when still reading files during the last system reading. That was in 60% batt.
Now keep restarting that way.
When i discionnect the charging cable it turn off and restarting again. Same as when i connect the cable again.
Any suggestion guys.

I've used the B907 as well. It's just a dload onto the SDcard and install. That ROM seems to be the best one in my experience. However, I couldn't the hide/show nav buttons to work. I ended up using Ultimate Dynamic Navbar Lite by Pavel (googleplaystore) to get the effect.
I'll probably switch back to it soon. I like MIUI but, it isn't as smooth although it looks better; and some things don't work well, i.e., voice assistant is in Chinese, MIUI audio player doesn't work with APEX launcher....things like that.
This is how I installed it. You might have to unplug/replug the usb and start over if it doesn't read Daemon. just unplug phone, close bluish/green window and try again. It took me a couple of times.-
Unzip ROM to desktop.
Put your usb cable in your pc and your phone.
Check if it is in debug mode (I was connected as Huwaei suite option).
If it isn't in debug, then go to settings developer options put usb debugging on.
Open ROM folder on desktop and press shift and double click on flash_all (its a batch file)
A command line window will appear in blueish/green (it's in Chinese).
Just press 1 on your keyboard and press enter (rom)
Then press enter again.
The phone will shutdown and will immediately will reboot you will get the Huawei ascend logo en the files will transfer now wait the phone will boot into the new ROM and your done (give it a while and don't unplug until the window appears to be completed).
I've done before and was able to dload back to B907 off SD card.
I've a 1.5gb version phone.
Good luck.
I am now stuck in bootloop. Mistakrnly didnt realised the battery is low 4+%.
At first try it went to bootloop so i restart in recovery force update with dload in ext sd card. Until 'Checking Module SYSTEM' phone restart in the middle and keep restarting at huawei logo.
I think battery not enough. So now i need help if anyone knows how to deplete
The battery so can charge. No led light when connect to usb cable/ no signal of the mate charging.

You will probably need to leave ur mate on charge for sometime before ur mate is able to return to its normal state.
Try also the force installation method to install the B907 ROM to revive ur unit.
(with or without the charger connected).
Hope this helps..

Agreed. Or try holding all three buttons (pwr/volume +/_-) and wping/ clearing data then any ROM from SDcard (dload)
Thanks gooz n syaah.
It seems when i connected to cable to charge its not charging but turn on and stuck on the huawei logo. Cant turn it off except if i disconnect the cable. Theres no led light when connect to cable too.
When i press both vol button it will start the sdcard update but stuck in the last 'Checking Module SYSTEM' and when its in middle loading it restarted either back to the sdcard update or stuck in the logo screen.
I did left the phone stuck on the logo for a night hoping it will deplete the batt but to no avail. Still the same situation.

Do you really think it's possible? do we have a device tree now?
i have your TWRP on my device and it works just PERFECT.
1. It sucks if you try and use it in the Western world - this is NOT meant for us.
2. It is incomplete - Try and flash it using the recovery procedure and you are in for some major butt hurt. ONLY flash it from within JB!
3. Reception sucks.
4. It needs to have GAPPS installed via recovery.
5. Downgrading is a massive headache.
6. It will change your handset from U06 to C00
7. Did I mention that it sucks.
IMHO it is not worth all the trouble upgrading to this yet. Wait for the bona-fide official international version...
My 2 cents...

8. None of the above is true.
Read the title of this thread: This is my truth and my experience with this crappy beta firmware being flaunted by some script-kiddie as an official release.
Do you live in Europe or the Americas? If so then try flashing it from your phone's recovery and let us see how long you are going to run it.
As proof do paste a screenshot of your phone's "About phone" and Model number in particular. Let us see what that says when you flash this firmware. LOL
Peace

I try it and there is no problem. I am from Germany. The only thing after a reset I must install the playstore by the chinese app store. Then I can install all apps with it. My device is always P6-U06
Gesendet von meinem ME302C mit Tapatalk
Did you flash the rom from withing Jellybean or using the recovery method?
Using the recovery method all data is cleared and ONLY the new firmware is installed. See what happens if you do this lol
But if you are happy with it as it is then there are no problems - alles ist gut! Alles klar!

Perhaps u need more readings before accomplish some jobs... BTW, if u updates from SD. using simplest "local update" method, u has avoided all of ur said "troubles".
For instance, I've updated from B125, W/OUT any hassles... All my progs, contacts, messages, files and settings are here (including Gapps) also has respected my natural language (Spanish)...
I've only one complaint, til now I can't root the B506 (Vroot can't root also... ).
BTW2, my P6 continues been P6-U06... Now have far better headphones level & quality, better GPS search and some more benefits.
Obviously, this ROM is made for China people, not for Europe but is perfectly usable until we've european version... It's a matter of patience, boy... Only a little more

In order to help you to downgrade from B506 you could use this "road map" (taked from Mr. Mansoor, in Huaweinews webpage):
===============================================================================
""Downgrade from B506 to B125
===============================================================================
NOTE: Downgrading will remove your user files, settings and all the data on Internal Storage
===============================================================================
1. Download P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0.rar (http://bit.ly/1hhwXCX) – Click Blue button
showing down-arrow to start download.
2. Download B125 (http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/Roms/Ascend-P6/B125.zip)
3. Create dload folder in SD Card
===============================================================================
4. Extract First Downloaded file (P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0.rar), put UPDATE.APP file (243MB approx.)
in newly created dload folder.
5. Backup Data from Internal Storage (will be deleted after downgrade)
6. Go to Setting > Updates > System Updates > Local Updates
7. Click Confirm
8. Phone will restart into recovery and start the update process.
===============================================================================
9. After restarting the phone, delete UPDATE.APP (243MB) file from dload folder of SD Card.
10. Extract second downloaded file (B125.zip), put UPDATE.APP file (1.52GB) into dload folder
of SD Card.
11. Repeat the process from 6 – 7
12. Phone will restart into recovery and update process will start.
===============================================================================
13. After update phone will restart, at this moment you phone may stuck on Huawei Logo,
Don’t panic, just hold the Power button until Huawei logo disappear.
14. After disappearing of Huawei logo, Immediately press the [ Vol + , Vol - and Power button ]
altogether and keep holding them until you see the recovery screen, release the buttons to
start the update process again, after that your phone will restart normally.
15. Now you have the Official Version of Jelly Bean 4.2 on your Huawei P6-U06.
===============================================================================
Note: Downgrading will remove your user files, settings and all the data on Internal Storage""
Hope will help you.
Yes lol
Thank you La Aguja! :laugh:
I also quoted the attached instructions from Mr Mansoor on numerous places here to help people revert back to their previous version.
I was just stating the fact that for me the new firmware was not so great and B125 is still the best version for me at this moment in time.
Perhaps when the international B506 comes out will I be much happier to use it. e.g. the builtin Weather widget and app connecting to a western weather service and not to a Chinese one etc.
I can however see a great improvement in the basic Android services with a marked user friendliness with the new version. There is a lot of potential here to improve the user experience of all P6 users.
I found the easiest way to root B506 was to unlock the boot loader and flash TWRP recovery for KitKat. When you then boot into recover and exit it will see that your 4.4 is unrooted and will ask whether it can root it for you. This was very, very easy.
Kindest Regards,
Falci.

And then restart your device. When you go into the weather app again, it will give you the popup asking to allow location services or whatever, then you'll see that it's using AccuWeather.com instead of AccuWeather.com.cn :good:

Hey guys, I've cleaned this thread from some disrespectful comments and "lol" posts - everything that adds nothing of value to the topic, basically. I see the OP's problem seems to be resolved now, but as a general reminder, there's no need to make an argument out of nothing because someone doesn't share your opinion. The best thing to do is to help them out if they're wrong, which is what happened in this thread. :highfive: Thanks!

Yep. I'm from Finland and same problems here. I updated via Settings, local update. Reception cuts alot, also it feels incomplete and I can see chinese letters for example in Messages app. This totally is for China users only, MAYBE we can get international version someday. Now back in B132...downgrade was a headache - yes.
Hi people!
I'v just bought my P6 and I'm quite lost at the offer of custom ROMs. All I know is that I don't want to retain the stock one.
So I'm sorry for the question probably being asked quite often, but please recommend me a custom ROM for P6 which would:
1. Give me the stock homescreen (launcher), I'm going the one I'm used to anyway.
2. Make it possible to customize the control keys, for example I'd like to set the switch-apps option to show the options if longer pressed.
3. Retain the "set display temperature option".
4. Allow me to customize this and that, for example I don't like battery % displayed in the status bar, it makes me nervous
I assume all of them try to improve battery life etc.
Thanks in advance and feel free to send me your recommendation as a PM

Actually I got absolutely lost. I found the leaked KitKat 4.4.2 stock version, put it on the SD card, but the phone does not allow me to install it via the in-phone menu, it seems like the phone does not see the file UPDATE.APP (I even tried to put it into the phone, the same happened)

Get the official. Not leak. And make sure you properly download the file complete.

Thanks, this helped. However after reboot the phones shows vibrates like hell and shows the TRPW (which I was able to put there before, God knows how) loader and it finally reboots after a while...

You cant Update to kitkat when you have TWRP for Jelly Bean installed, first you have to flash stock recovery via fastboot. And this vibrate in TWRP is a known issue look in the thread with the unlock code.

Hi!
About a week ago, the two icons on my phone - settings and tools- showed '1 update available' symbol. It was about the firmware update from B510 to B520. I tried the normal online procedure but it did not work. Again, following the XDA Forum guidelines, Huawei News Forums and some other help forums online, still I could not find any easy steps or guidance describing the exact situation i.e. an update procedure from B510 to B520 for P6. Later, I remembered that my phone has been rooted for a while. I do not know if that was the reason. . . ? To be honest, I am an Android novice. So, I need someone to help me in as simple way as possible. Please, anyone?
Regards and thanks, in advance!

http://www.huaweiblog.de/huawei/huawei-ascend-p6-ota-update-b520-update/ ' The first download link for full version. The second link in the bottom of article is the OTA update.
updating in this way, the root permissions will be removed, simply reapply again.

Your phone is rooted, but did you made any changes to build.prop / local.prop files? For repairing drop zone manager/ changing region / repairing phone sound volume restrictions? If you've done that, you must revert back the changes first. All files must be in their default condition - then try update again.
What message it gives you, when you try to update? Does the phone goes in recovery mode? (black screen with android on the background and some yellow writings)
If you rooted with VRoot, simply try to unroot again with the same program. The program itself have this option. Than try again online.
If in the end you cannot update online, just update with flashing the update thru LOCAL UPDATE from your SD card.
Thanks, but I need more help, please!

Hello, ThunderBird891!
I am so glad that you replied - know that you are the first person ever to reply to me in this forum since I joined in!
To move forward, I would like you to know a few more things and, please, note that I am a novice, who just happened to try the rooting process out of curiosity.
I might have used Vroot or RootGenius. Next, I don't know how to revert build.prop / local.prop files? For repairing drop zone manager/ changing region / repairing phone sound volume restrictions, either. Or, do you mean revert to factory settings? I don't have an SD card! Depressing, right?
But. . .one thing, I know is that the phone goes to recovery mode as you described, a black screen with android on the background and some yellow writings - error 7 or something. Finally, it goes back to reboot and repeats the whole process after the normal reboot but no update, still.
What can I do then?
HELP!!!
Look like your download is corrupt or something, did you try to download it again?

Hi! I'm glad to respond you!
It doesn't matter that your phone was rooted once! And even if it is rooted now - still it must download and upgrade your firmware. The only difference after the upgrade will be, that you will lose you root!
And so I think the problem is something other! So i suggest you to do the whole downgrade to 4.2 procedure, and then go back to updating to all versions up to B520. Don't worry! When you go back B132 for example, it will prompt you that it has upgrade vie OTA (Over The Air) so you can upgrade directly! Just follow my instructions STRICTLY, just as I described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/general/how-to-downgrade-4-4-4-2-change-chinese-t2951566
(the downgrade process can be done with any official huawei 4.2 firmware, like B125 for example, not only B132! I just prefer to use B132. You can use the same firmware version, with which you phone was delivered to you. If you can remember this version number of course. I personally prefer B132 because this was the version with which my phone was shipped to me. )
When you downgrade you will lost any data on the phone, but you'll be able to go B520 - we hope! I think, that there is no problem that you have no SD Card! Just put the update/upgrade/downgrade files in the dload folder of the internal memory of you device. If there is no dload folder, you can create it! If it doesn't downgrade again, then try to get/find some sd card from friend or just buy one and try the procedure again from the sd card! I can't say if the problem persist because the lack of SD Card, because I have SD and I've never tried to do it from internal memory! Just try and write me again!
Also I would like to know in which country / region you're in?
Thanks for your interest!

Hi!
I tried every possible way, I even bought an SD card. . . but no success! BTW, I am from Finland and the OTA information says ''European Channel Update''. Any luck?
Happy New Year 2015!

Try to reset the phone and wipe the internal storage, then put the update in the internal storage like described before ( dload folder containing an update.app file).

To me it looks like you made a bad update and now you need to reflash. Now if you know which firmware was the last working one on thw phone i can make a suggestion on what to put in the sd card to flash.
