Kitkat Coming Jan - Huawei Ascend P6, Mate

What a load of bull.
@huaweiDevice brought the p6 last month in UK after hearing about kit kat update this month. Any date planned yet?

@jparish1986 Hi. For Ascend P6, only Android TM 4.2.2 version has been confirmed. Thanks.
Typical thinking I should of gone for the nexus.

If all else fails, trust XDA.
Developers on here should be able to bring CM11.

Oh don't worry about that reply. Its a standard reply for any rom question asked. I think because there used to be loads of questions/complains/request related firmware upgrade being asked on their facebook page that they then decided to reply that way instead.
Regarding the kitkat upgrade, they did mention it would be upgraded this month. But the rumours say the update is not on schedule. So what we would get would be a emui2.0 upgrade this month while kitkat upgrade would come with emui2.3, which is undergoing beta tests already and maybe out by march/april.

Decided to root and install custom ROM while I wait instead lol

EMUI 2.3 beta testing got pushed back a few days, it will appear soon to the closed beta testers and we will know if it comes with 4.4, if it does not, then we will probably not get 4.4 on our devices at all. Expected emui 2.3 launch is in march/april.

If we don't get 4.4 that would be pretty shocking seeing as the P6 came out after the Galaxy S4 and that will certainly get 4.4

Huawei only cares about their little emotion ui to be honest. Going from 4.2.2 to 4.4 requires alot of extra work, so its easier to release a new emotion ui version than compile one based on new android version.
The new released B199 and Mate 2 comes with stock Android 4.3. So they are in a sense working on android upgrades too.
Is it possible to port the firmware of B199 (minus the kernel) to p6 ?
It is very simple. I'm satisfied with my P6, but if it doesn't get 4.4, I will NEVER buy anything from Huawei again. Today we have an option to choose.

Im certain p6 would get android 4.4. This android 4.4 news was made public by Richard Yu himself and highly improbable he would make a total bluff about it. P6 is their flagship phone even till today so attention to software upgrade would be there. Plus, if they dont plan to upgrade android, there is no reason why they haven't yet released the Emui2.0 at least, despite them doing beta tests on the P6 way back from august last year.
But yea i understand the frustrations and the total secrecy policy of Huawei gets really frustrating.

but thats the most exciting part for all of us ;p will or will not be 4.4 for P6 that is the question ... ;p
im betting that we will get 4.4 in 3 weeks time ... from test leak or CN build ;p
as we can flsh and downgrade to any build it really doesnt matter
Whats the problem? Huawei said the update will come in January, it's not February yet. You can complain when it's February.
Coming from HTC One S it's pretty easy to say that Huawei is doing a great job with it's updates. It's pretty nice that i lost my One S while i was drunk and got P6 because it's so cheap and nice looking phone and the specs are awesome too. Kit Kat will come when it's due. Im totally happy with surdu_petru's CM 10.1.

it's here, well...actually out there, the testers have a version of the ROM. In Febuary it's safe to say that it will be officially released.

No way. When you root your phone you don't get OTA updates. Also you need to download full ROM from source and flash it again.

When it rooted impossible to get ota updates

Official Ota wont come as our grand may have maxxed according to samsung.

Android 5.0

Does anyone know if it was released today? I saw two articles on google that it was released for D581. Any news on it?
The bits I can find are talking about a Cyanogen CM12 release for the D851. Not stock from LG yet. But perhaps my google-fu is off today.

Yeah.. Lollipop update might be around the corner..
Hey guys, so judging from this thread the D581 isn't on lollipop yet huh? A friend of mine just got this phone but is using it here in Canada on Wind Mobile. Will the 5.0 update be pushed from T Mobile, which in essence would exclude him from the update, or is it coming directly from LG?

[Q] Need help on updating my B125 smartphone.

Hello people, I know I'm not really active on this community but this is the only place I know of where I can get help.
So I saw on many pages KitKat is released on H. Ascend P6, however "internet update" said I'm on the latest version (I live in Mexico). On an old thread I did a really long time ago, some guys helped me to updgrade my compilation version to B125.
I saw on a post I had to update from B125 to B132, and then install the KitKat update (B506 http://huaweinews.com/2014/06/ascend-p6-b510-official/ ). The B506 version seems to include Emotion UI 2.3, while some themes on this forum are for E. UI 3.0
I don't understand what ROM means, but I see there are many around here. E.g:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...8-kangvip-tools-integrated-repackbbn-t2986681
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/development/ascend-p6-u06-b709-emui-3-0-kitkat-t2999971

http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/general/ascend-p6-b708-emui-3-0-international-t2991646
That's why I'm really confused. While I'd like to have the latest E. UI version, I'd also like stability and few bugs.
Can anyone help me?

For this rom and b709 you need twrp
If you want to update to b708 you need to go from b125 to b132 then on b510/511/512/513 and from there you can flash b708 international but only with stock recovery

Flashing is basically installing rom,I dont know how to say that more simple..
And stock recovery is default huawei recovery. You dont have too bother with that if you didnt installed twrp or some other custom recovery

Hi there again.
I managed to install latest international kitkat firmware (b510) but I have got some troubles...
The system gui is indeed amazing, but laggy.
It took up to 2 hours and a half to make a full charge before, but now it takes at least the same time or even more (up to 3 hours now).
Device gets hotter than before, even when it's winter in my country.
Native explorer is really laggy that it's impossible to browse the internet with it. I gotta use chrome.
Battery probably drains faster than before.
Are those things normal? should I downgrade or update to another ROM? What should I do?
Because I'm getting worried for my phone due to those reasons.

[Moto X Force] Marshmallow Rollout

Hello community, while googling for information about the release of Marshmallow for the X Force I found the Release Notes for the Update:
https://motorola-global-en-aus.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109337
I guess they will start rolling it out in Brasil, so I wanted to ask, if anyone has the brazilian version and if anyone has the update yet?
I just got the phone and am really looking forward to Marshmallow, as 5.1.1 really feels like a downgrade coming from 6.0 on my Nexus 5.
[Update 2015/12/18]
As it seems, the Update is rolling out in Europe as of today.
If someone who has rooted his force would be so nice to provide the Update.zip I would be really grateful, as my device still has not got the Update notification and I'm not the patient type
It is stored in the /cache Folder and you can only read that folder with root priviliges.

Here in Brazil already had experience installing ota India and Australia and worked well. But as the friend reported that tried to install the Brazilian in Mexico cell phone and did not work'll wait a few more days to see if it comes out the version of Brazil. If you install this version of Mexico in a cell with version EU think it should work
I tried to install the mexican version on my european X Force but it failed because of an invalid certificate.
