No Root Need You Have To Flash TWRP Recovery for That. That Is Also Void Warranty But You Can Reflash Stock Recovery When Ever You Want And Your Mobile Become Stock Again.

Make sure of several things:
1. Put the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder on your sd card.
2. Make sure the sd card is formatted as fat32.
3. Make sure that no USB is plugged in while you try to update.
4. Make sure that you have more than 50% battery.

Yes you can. Put the dload folder with update.app inside the SD card and start local update via update app in your phone.

Just to flash official fimware (update) You don't need to have root access. All You need is the update file. You can find them here on XDA. Downlod it. Put the update.app file (if it isn't already in it..) into folder called dload. Put the dload folderon your external MicroSD card. Turn off the P6. Put the MicroSD in the phone. Hold down volume up and down buttons together. Push the power on button and hold your fingers still on the volume buttons untill You see the little green guy and the datas written about the update process. Now You should relese those vol keys.. Wait, and after the update finishes, your phone will boot up with the new firmware. If there are datas on your phone's INTERNAL memory, You should save them somewhere, before the update. Commonly the update deletes all userdata from the internal memory.
Oh, it does not have anything to do with warranty 'till You flash official ROMs, and You can go back to previous ROMs too if You want. Rooting will void your phone's warranty.

After updating to this b132 ROM my build is now b124, I was originally on b125.
It would be interesting to see if others have this also. I used the update.app from the b132n.zip, I'm downloading b132.zip now to see if there's any difference.

Thats why everything is on chinese, thats the first kitkat beta firmware that leaked, if you want english you can upgrade it to B510 or B511 since those are the official english ones without the chinese crap. Now since you were able to install the beta you can install those ones without any problem.

That installation goes through custom recovery, im suggesting that you do a clean install like the one you nade for B104 through the stock recovery.

[Q] KitKat for Ascend P6 in the UK

Hey,
I'm a newbie to these forums and Android, have used iOS for the last 3 years and just need some help with my
new phone. So i'm in the UK and am on the b116 firmware, Jellybean (4.2.2) and I called Huawei a couple of days ago
and they say that it (the 4.4.2 update) should come out within the next couple of weeks. Thing is this is the same thing
they said in July. That's where I need your help guys. Can someone please give me the steps to how I could
update to KitKat.
P.S. I'm also new to this topic on ROMs, TWRP, flashing, etc.
Could you please help. Thank you.

So is this how you did it for your phone from the same firmware?
How do you flash though?
But thanks for your reply.
I was in the same boat about a month ago. There are a lot of firmwares out there. Can be very confusing. Here is what I did. I updated to b132 jb then to b512 kk. Used update app method both times through system update from SD card. I downloaded the roms from Huawei news website. Read up as much as you can. Hope it helps.

So what should i read up on. Just the method?
The metod for updating is pretty easy as long as you dont have any data to backup or restore. Download the update file that should be named UPDATE.APP and put it in a folder named DLOAD in your sdcard. From there go to system update and select local update. It should restart the phone and do all the update on its own. After the update it will boot into system and you are ready to go. But since its recommended to go to B132 first and then to kitkat you gonna need to do this twice for both updates.

Do what the above says. There is a word document with official downloads that tells you what to do. Better to have more knowledge than just jumping in and getting it wrong. There is a thread on here somewhere that lists all official downloads. I'm sure there are links as well. Good luck.

So sorry to bother but where is this word doc. Have i missed it somehow?
And it may seem a bit forward but is there a lollipop update for the P6
No lollipop as yet. Can't see Huawei releasing it as this phone too old now. I'm sure someone will develop it for our phone after official cm12 is released. When you download official rom unzip the file and there should be two files one is the update app. And there should be a word doc as well. The word doc tells you how to update. I'll try to find a link for downloads I used. Might be later today though.

Yes the EMUI updates along with the system. First download and update the B132 and then the B512.
When you update to kk 512 emui 2.3 will be installed as part of update. No need to update separately.

did the local upgrade but then on the screen it came up with, "Copying from external source(i think) failed", tried it again, "cust ... succeeded" - not sure if useful but yh why did it fail, what am I doing wrong? I've attached the contents of my SD card below but is that what is causing the problems?
When i tried to do it, it said on the first line, "This phone is LOCK state" then goes onto say "Huawei SD card fail" if it helps.

Did you then try the "apply update from SD card" option that is available in the M stock recovery menu?

I think I would stay on MM for a while.
I updated just by pushing full zip into root of internal storage and wait for the FOTA Service to detect it and update.

I did this last night, Just put the downgrade file on the internal storage and same as the MM update when it says there's an update do it...
But and this is a big BUT (lol) it factory resets your phone, So you lose everything so back up. Oh it also relocks the bootloader.

You mean that internal storage is also wiped?
And are you sure that downgrading will re-lock bootloader?

Yes it wiped my phone clean, Relocked the bootloader (had to unlock it again). Was easy to fix as I had everything here anyway so just unlocked again, rooted again after I went through the setup again.
I think ASUS provided the downgrading ROM at their official website. Use MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip method, or flash via ADB. Both way works on stock bootloader and recovery.
Idk about TWRP recovery method

hey mate! have you been experiencing some issues particularly on the proximity sensor? been reading alot saying they experienced it after the update. i have to downgrade coz the led notification doesnt function even when im charging. im trying your suggestion on downgrading then update gain on mm hopefully it fixes the concern.

so i followed what you did. i placed downgrade file on my internal sd, reboot, and then when thru the downgrade process. when it rebooted,i didnt set it up and i went straight to updating to mm using the same process ofplacing the file on internal memory. i just reinstalled all the apps after and.so far so good. proximity sensor seems to work well for me and my concern regarding the led notification seemed to have been resolved.
thanks mate!
I also paste the lollipop firmware on my phone's internal storage by creating a new folder but it doesn't show any notifications
