Hello,
First of all, I am a complete noob when it comes to installing custom roms and firmware and stuff.
I want to install a custom ROM on my Huawei Ascend P6-U06 called HYD52ROM V5. In the instructions it says I need to be on B118CN. But as I can only find a download for the B118 I am a bit confused (and I ruined my last phone with doing this stuff). Has this something to do with it needing to be unlocked or something? Is there a guide somewhere on how to do this?
Help really appreciated!

B118 and B120 CN are Chinese firmwares. They unlock the phone and only through unlocked firmwares can you install custom firmwares.
There is also an international version of B118, but its not unlocked. The unlocked is only Chinese firmwares.
B118CN and B120 CN have a high risk of bricking phones and many users have bricked their phones out here on xda.
A Chinese kitkat beta firmware has been leaked recently, and this firmware is unlocked too. So upgrading to Kikat rom first and then custom rom is the safest way.
See index thread for related information.
So can I just upgrade to the KitKat beta as I would upgrade to B118 (or any other firmware) or is this something different?

yes you can upgrade the same way you upgrade any other official firmware i.e. through settings>about>local update. While custom firmware are upgraded through TWRP recovery.

Okay so I have one last question, do I need to root my phone before I upgrade to the KitKat Beta. And do you have a link to the version I need to upgrade to? (I am on B112 right now if that matters). Thanks for all the help man!

No you don't need to root.
The kitkat beta is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630935

Also maybe its stabler to first go to B125 international (find the download file in index thread), and then after that go to kitkat beta.

Does someone know how to root F240 which got the official KK upgrade and install appropriate custom recovery?
The old way which worked on v4.1.2 (using Root.bat batch pushing the required files via adb) seems to be not working (at least for me).
I am quite disappointed with the upgrade - old diseases of F240x models like annoying message about "call to local" (which is alone makes the ROM practically unusable) still persist. I am looking for a way to get back to one of stock based ROMs until someone releases a good custom ROM based on 4.4. stock

Hello,
I'm in the Philippines and I have an F240S. Kitkat is available OTA, but I can't even download past 7mb of the 727mb. The device just crashes and reboots. It's STRANGE.. Nope. Not rooted.
I did download on my computer the v20c kdz file... 1.6gb, but don't know how to install that on the phone. Man, this sucks.

not clear how to root. They say (in this Vietnamese forum translated via Google) that if you are on 4.4.2. (this is what I am - stock's 20c for F240L) - downgrade to 4.1.2.
"Step 1:
Those who are in the 4.4.2 (KitKat) run back to the KDZ 4.1.2"
The only tiny thing they do not mention is how to do it. As the device is not rooted, the only way to change a ROM is flashing it via LG flashing tool, however it does not let you flash an official version lower than you currently have (says something like "you already have a last version blah-blah-blah). Is there any hidden trick to make the LG Flash tool to install KDZ for 10z while I am on 20c?

No, but you'll need a firmware that can unlock bootloader. kitkat beta has the same option. Please read in THIS FORUM or in This forum

I want to install the general version of the software which is posted on the huawei site on my T00.
It's for U06. So is the difference in hardware?
I don't think so. So how can I flash this ROM?

Hi,
I don't think it will work because the ROM posted on huawei official site is only for Ascend P6-U06 (international firmware) and yours is T00 (chinese firmware).
If you gonna do this anyway, I suggest you to make a backup of your phone !
Good luck

We have KK. B510
thanks sir... but,
how can i download it? is it stable same as b125?
hi..
where are you from?
most of the b510 release were in western europe and when i remember right in romania (maybe in the neighbor states too) through OTA (automatically through system update function..
the other option is to download the b510 from different sources mentioned in some threads here..
then you can, depending on what you downloaded, update through local update or by updating through force update method..
just read some threads concerning the update to b510 carefully and you'll find what you're looking for..

Yes, the phone hardware is same and you can install miui indian ROM safely but also remember that it is always safe to stay on stock country ROM.
Also if you return to indian ROM, you will not get miui 10 update

I've bought R6pro CN version with Indian global
Miui installed.
Now when I check my product name
fastboot getvar product
It says - sacura_ India
I must unlock bootloader if I want to get OTA update. Without unlocked bootloader I would brick my phone.
I think that you can install Indian rom only if you unlock bootloader.

Indian ROM can easily install on cn ROM. But advantage go to cn ROM , they get latest update first
