My truth about the so-called "Official" B506 Firmware Upgrade

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

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.

You can actually change the weather service to the international server when you edit your build.prop from:
ro.product.locale.language=zh
ro.product.locale.region=CN
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To:
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US

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!

I got my P6 from Amazon.de. I installes B506 over B132 and i am very satisfied, some minor issues....

By now I'm unable to say if B506 is better than B125 or not but I've upgraded, precisely, from B125 and, after have rooted (with chinese version of VRoot, thx to a Mr. Warea advice...) my B506 I've started to be happy w/it...
I continues reading and learning about and testing, testing, testing...
Thx for your advices, Falci, we continues talking in next's future.

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.

Great Job, Surdu!
Dear Surdu;
Thanks for bring light upon us, P6 users for this CM11 Firmware. I'm just download and install this new CM11 on my P6. What can I say about this firmware on my P6 are:
"SIMPLY AWESOME!"
GPS work flawlessly, everything work together flawlessly, my bluetooth headphone working seamlessly with this firmware. FM radio? nah, no one care about it.
Thanks again for your effort.

Hi surdu, you're the only one who can save me...
before this new feature of Q&A I opened a thread about some problems that I had with the rom you created.
I liked it, even if I experienced some problems...
Many users tried to help me, but the situation doesn't go any better...
can you help me?

Hello !
First, make sure you have already installed the last TWRP 2.8.0.0 in your device !
If you don't have the last update of TWRP, just put your device in TWRP and check reboot to bootloader , then connect USB cable and flash TWRP 2.8.0.0 by this command : > fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0.img ( you should check also TWRP 2.8.0.0 Thread for more details ).
Go again in TWRP 2.8.0.0 and Mount -> External Storage , here you will be able to copy the last CM11 update in your external sdcard ! after you have finished copying, unmount driver from your PC and than from your device , go to wipe , advanced wipe and check : cache, data, dalvik-cache, system, Custom storage & Internal Storage ( Do NOT check : External Storage ) -> Swipe to wipe ! No you are able to install the last CM11 from menu : Install ( make sure you are on External Storage ).
Best regards !

Dont know if someone else has the same problem as i have.
While i am talking of on phone / skype / viber , the other people can listen to their own voice , even when i am using the phone with my ear.
After checking , i saw that the p6 has two microphones? So i thought that when the speakphone is loud the voice goes back to the other person during the call through the upper microphone.
When i put on headset , then the problem is solved.
Anyone else has the similar problem? Is there any way one can fix this?
Thanks

Ok, my problem starts here, I'm not able anymore to go to any TWRP, I'm not able to use fastboot or adb, I think that I'm not able to go to bootloader... adb finds no devices, and fastboot says "<waiting for device>" and it doesn't change when I connect USB cable.
Thank you again for your help
Looking forward to have CM11 back on my phone

Yep - sorry to say, but you should search and read more , because <waiting for device> is a known issue - I have already said several times on this forum for P6 how you can fix this issue, and it means you have driver issue on your PC related fastboot connections !
Good luck !

looks like i am the only one with this problem..!!

Thank you Surdu, I had already tried to reinstall the driver without luck, but eventually it worked, so now I have your ROM installed and working on my mobile.
However, I'm still having problems: the apps are not able to store files. For example, twitter does not show any image/avatars/attachements, whatsapp does not dowload images/soundfiles and so on. One app said I have no permissions to write on memory (both external and internal), so I think it is an owner/permission issue. If so, how can I solve this problem?
Moreover, when I unlock the screen I often receive the message "unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped”, then background and virtual keys are reloaded. Sometimes the process crashes again and goes in loop. Any idea?
Thank you again

so if you want to update from a previous cm11 version -> just flash new cm11 and only wipe ?
thx!

Ok, SystemUI crash was on older release, now you can check the last update - there is no SystemUI issue ! Regarding your issues related to Internal/External Storage, you must wipe also Internal Storage before flash CyanogenMod !

Yes : Cache & Dalvik-cache as you can see on Installation instruction ( if you ever looked to ... ) - but to avoid any issues , a clean install is recommended .

so is there the Vodafone branding in the folder /cust/ ? (Because in the Update.zip there is the Vodafone branding)
man i really dont know why the reply is not in the newest CM11 thread (i'm new to xda)

Hi surdu_petru. I currently have the previous version of the CM11 CM11 is - 11/10/2014, if I just want to upgrade to the new version, I have to wipe necessarily doing, I do not want to lose all my settings and applications. As I can upgrade to the new version without losing my data and applications.
Thank you

Updating CyanogenMod on Ascend P6
Hey guys,
since I'm running the cyanogenmod 11 update from 4th of october and everything works fine for me, I wonder if there is way to apply a minor update without wiping everything and basically reinstalling the whole ROM?
It's really annoying to reinstall and reconfigure xposed+modules and re-login to every app and so on, if it's just for some minor fixes.
So if there is no way, I'd just wait until the next bigger update or some nice features.

Network connection after flight mode
Very good, each version is improved.
And the privacy guard is excellent!
But there is still one problem over all versions: after returning from the flight mode no automatic network connection.

Mobile data still not working on Beta4
I had read that some users were having difficulty with mobile data on beta3, but it was now working after upgrade to beta4... mine still isn't working, any ideas? Screenshot fix is also broken now, and like others, recovery doesn't work. I'm going to reflash recovery and screenshot fix after I get home from work, but I have no idea how to fix mobile data.

Help
Hey guys, can someone help me?
My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
What do I have to do next?
I tried to extract the boot.img from the PA Zip and flash it with Flashtool to my Phone.
It says "Done" but when I want to enter the Recovery, the LED goes Blue, but the screen went black.. Nothing more happens.. (I have no recovery Installed yet, I thought the recovery comes with the boot.img)

yes, recovery comes with the boot.img. Maybe You flashed the wrong boot.img? Try flashing it once again. Or Maybe the download of zip was corrupted.
Edit : Found this reading on, maybe it is an issue with the current version. Check this link out.

where is the paranoid setting menu? hybryd setting?
and, beta3 needs lot of time to reboot ~3-5min everytime when I do reboot its normal?

After installation Recovery stills not working. When I push the volume up button the led turns blue but nothing happens, black screen is all I get. And when a select Reboot to recovery in TWRP Manager app the phone only reboots normally

Got bootloop on reboot
I just try to flash the pa_nozomi-4.6-BETA4-20141009 today. Everything seem very nice and smooth until I reboot. I only reboot for first time to flash some mod, then i cant boot up anymore. I can only boot into recovery. I try to wipe all and flash this pa_nozomi-4.6-BETA4-20141009 again and reboot to double check and it still stuck in recovery. I think that a bug.
Now I try to flash older version to keep my phone running, will review later

[B][U]Disclaimer:[/U][/B]
I am not responsible for any damage to you your device. Everything you do, you do on your own risk!
Last year I got a Galaxy Tab E (SM-T560) from Samsung for free as gift to my new mobile phone.
Unfortunately the ROMs for SM-T560NU tabs are not working on that device, but I found a working ROM of LineageOS 14.1 (Android Nougat 7.1.2) on the following page:

LineageOS 14.1 (formerly known as CyanogenMod) ROM is based on the Android stock ROM released by Google, which the LineageOS team modifies.
Credits go to the LineageOS team for making this ROM available to many devices and to independent developers like Ma3a_XaTa for porting this ROM to the Tab E SM-T561.

[URL="https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-t560-galaxy-tab-e-96-wifi/download-mode/"]HowTo bring the Tab to DownloadMode[/URL]

Hints & Tips:
1. To improve the speed of the tablet, turn of animations inside Developer Options.
2. You can also install an app freezer called "Icebox" to temporarily disable RAM hungry apps like Facebook, Chrome etc.
3. To ensure longer battery life, disable “double tap to wake” hidden somewhere in the settings (use the app called "Kernel Adiutor" from the Playstore).
4. If you don’t plan to put a SIM on this thing or if you are having a SM-T560 only, put it in airplane mode and then turn on your WiFI when needed. Turn of GPS/location or even sync when not necessary.
5. Disable "Adaptive Display" in the settings. It seems to make the tablet slower.
6. Improve the battery life of the tab by using an app called “L Speed“ (available in Playstore).

Hello, great post. I used this ROM before, but after some time it just stops working. You can't boot it anymore.
How long do you use it already?

What version of TWRP are you using & what error do you get?

Have someone passed safetynet check ? Can you help me with pass?

The ROM is running ok so far on my T560, but I noticed some problems:
* If the tablet runs out of battery with Wifi activated, charging and booting it up causes a boot loop until Wifi is turned off. Something like that... it sometimes gives you the time to open the settings and turn off Wifi before it reboots.
* The Tablet's battery is drained by "Mobile Standby" in approx. two days, regardless of power save, battery saver and/or flight mode. When the Tab is idle all the time, the battery graph runs down in a straight diagonal line until the battery is empty, approx. 2 % per hour. Did not find a way to disable Mobile Standby on my T560 which doesn't even have a modem (maybe that's the problem).
* The system is a bit laggy given that it's a quad core, but turning off Animations helped. I suspect hardware acceleration does not work.
I'd switch to a better rom if I find one. But thanks anyways for the information and work! Better than nothing, I guess

Problems of ignition and charge of battery
Hello friends, I need a help I have a Samsung Tab E 9.6 = SM.T561, I installed Roon Custom Lineage 14.1 with TWRP, but the Tablet was downloaded and I can not charge it or turn it on, I searched everywhere and nobody gives me answers . I appreciate the help given. Thank you

I have my T560 all the time in airplane mode with Wifi on. Battery drain is no problem at all.

I had a similar problem in the beginning. Seemed as the tab was in a bootlooporsomething similar with black screen.
The only solution I found was to wait some days until the battery was empty, charge the tab and directly started to download/recovery mode and flash it again.
Now it is working fine with this ROM.

I am using it now for ~2.5 months and I am quite happy with it.
It is much better then the stock ROM.

Hi @SeeDoubleYous and guys. I was reading the Forum and decided to share with you my experience with this ROM. Well, I'm owner of a SM-T560 (in US and Canada this model is T560NU I don't know why it's different just in these two countries ). Anyway....
I made all the steps described on the step-by-step Instructions. (TWRP Recovery via ODIN, Root, ROM, GAPPS, etc etc etc).
I'll be honest with you. My t560 turned in a piece of sh... Very Slow, Apps Stucking all the time, sometimes bootlooping too... i used the Tab for almost 3 weeks. After that I decided to reset the device and I did all steps again using the same ROM (I reinstalled the TWRP RECOV via ODIN, proceeded a Factory + Internal Memory Wipe, Installed the LINEAGE 14.1 OS, etc, etc, etc) But this time I choose the "Micro" GAPPS option instead "PICO". Installed Root SU, etc, etc exactly as the directions wrote in the top page.
For my surprise, It's perfect Now!!!! ROM is great.... No problems of RAM, Bootlooping, Stucking, APP crashing... Absolutelly Nothing!
I don't know why, but it seems that the secret is install for first time and use for some weeks even its is not working fine. And After that, proceed All the step-by-step again from the very beggining. (Reinstall TWRP, ROM, GAPPS, Keys, "Boot Image" and ROOT SU). It will work fine on SM-T560 just from the second Install on.....
All Best guys

I need help. My screen is stuck on boot again
Am I bricked?

Hi guys, I've got a T560 tablet with the official ROM and I'm researching to upgrade it's software.
Currently I'm away off-shore for work but as soon as I get home I'll try this ROM.
I've been a fan of CyanogenMod since the early days and I'm eager to try it so I can bring some new life into my old tablet.
Since this ROM is for the SIM card variant T561 I was searching for a way to disable the Radio altogether and I found this:
https://android.stackexchange.com/q...le-radio-signal-in-a-phone-without-a-sim-card
Basically it disables the RIL with a simple Terminal Command:
Code:
su -c "setprop persist.radio.noril 1"
Can someone try this and see if its working properly? (OFC after a Back-up is done) Its persistent through reboots so you don't need to use Airplane Mode anymore and maybe it will help with the battery draining problem.
Also one question for the guys who are currently using this ROM:
Is Magisk working? After everything is set-up can we uninstall SuperSU and install Magisk for root?
Thank you,
Have a nice day!

I've tried the command and it worked, no reboots even if the airplane mode is off and no problem so far.
I don't know if the battery life is better now because I've just done it.
For the other question, I haven't tried because I like SuperSu, but I think there's no problem.

Hey,
does this rom works with SM-T562??? (3G)

Is there any updated ROMs like LOS 15 or 16 for SM-T561 (gtel3g), I tried to Port LOS 16 but I get error 7 while flashing in TWRP(V3).

How to install
custom rom
******************
You will need:
*PC with Odin 3.13.1 or above
(https://samsungodin.com)
*TWRP .tar image for your model
Flat: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/herolte/
Edge: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/
*Rom
(Stored on external memory/sdcard)
*Unlocked OEM
To unlock OEM
********************************************
Go to settings, phone information, and tap build number until it says developer options unlocked, press back twice and go into developer options turn on OEM unlock
********************************************
1. Put your phone into download mode by turning your phone off, now press volume down, power and home key at the same time until the screen turns green, then release the buttons.
2. Open Odin on your PC and plug the USB cable into your phone and press volume up.
You will see it is connected to Odin, (there will be a blue rectangle saying com(number)
3. Select the AP section and load your TWRP .tar image in there.
4. Get ready to press volume up, home and power button at same time on your phone now press start on Odin, it will only take a few seconds, as soon as the box goes green and says pass, press the volume up, home and power button combo until TWRP splash screen shows up on your phone screen. Now release button combo and unplug USB cable from your phone.
5. In twrp press wipe, then format. A keyboard will appear, type yes and press enter. Now press back to go to TWRP main screen and press reboot and select reboot to recovery. It will now reboot back into TWRP.
6. Press wipe again, then format, type yes, press enter. (Do this 3 times)
Press back to go to TWRP main screen and press wipe, select advanced wipe, check all boxes apart from OTG and SDCARD and swipe. (Do this 3 times)
Press back to go to TWRP main screen and press wipe then swipe to factory reset. (Do this 3 times)
********************************************
Your phone is now completely clear with no operating system and ready to flash a custom rom. When you downloaded your rom, you stored it on your sd card or external storage, you need to do this as when you do all the wipes it wipes your internal storage but not your sd card, that's why it says in advanced wipe don't check the sd card or OTG boxes.
********************************************
7. Press back until you go to main screen in TWRP and select install, select storage, external (sd card) and select the rom zip. Now just swipe to flash.
Normally it will go into aroma which contains check boxes of extra items to add into the rom, this rom however is a straight flash, it will automatically detect your phone model and select the correct kernel and battery capacity. It will say Installation finished when done. Now go back to main twrp screen and select reboot and press system. The phone will reboot, leave it 10-15mins to allow it to load the rom, be patient. Then you will be at the set up page just like starting a new phone. Set up from there and enjoy the rom.

Note 8 does not have official One UI 2.0, not even 1.1, besides, we already have a ported One UI 2.5, FloyedQ, you should search more often.

Of course I won't, common solutions are not always the right ones.
FloyedQ does not have that much of bugs to a point that makes it useless, it has only 2 major problems:
GearVR
High Wi-Fi uptimes (only on some devices)
The latter bug is probably related to kernel drivers, anyway, if GearVR is extremely important to you, then it's okay to search for another ROM.
I understand that you are not a developer, but as a user, at least you need to understand that ROMs can't be ported from any device, at least not without a bootable kernel.
A device with a similar, not too far chip will make it easier to port it's ROM, if Note 8 had One UI 2.x, of course by now it would have been a stable port, but sadly it doesn't. Give it time.
