[Q] P6 Clean install

Hi guys.
I need some help. I updated to KK beta. I then tried to revert back to B125. somehow in the process i formatted everything and now i can not load any version of software. I only have the huawei recovery console. it keeps on telling me "installation aborted" when i try and install software.
Please help.
I do not have any software on the phone. what can i do to fix the problem?

Eject you sdcard, put a ROM in it and flash it through recovery. You have recovery right?

i get a installation aborted error when i try and recover. I have tried b111 b118 b120 and b125. same error. Which folder must the data be in? zipped or unzipped?

On the root of the sdcard, as a zip but flashable. Do you have stock or custom recovery? If it's stock put the update.app file in a folder called dload.Extract the update.app, put only that file in dload and press power and volume up/down all at once for a few seconds until it starts updating. Do not put the ZIP, only the file update.app.

tried and still not working. any other suggestions?

Do you have stock, custom or both recoveries?

Only stock revoery. had twrp installed but install the b118 stock recovery software. now im not able to install any software. phone is clean. no OS.

Well if you have stock recovery the update.app method must work. Do not put the zip in dload, only the update.app file. And repeat the 3 button method until it works.

Tried everything. nothing works

Dont connect usb when installing

He's right, unplug your phone while doing all of the above.

not connected via usb. is there any other way? any other roms to try?

Phone is fixed. thanks for the help

How could you flash Omni with stock recovery? You need TWRP with stock it won't work.

Try downloading stock B506 and load onto dload and reinstall it.
If that still doesn't work then try this, but I think you'll need to be in fastboot mode...
EDIT: Just follow instructions on my thread for the TWRP Installer.
Use my tool here to install twrp.

3. Open TWRP installer. Make sure your phone is in fastboot mode.
4. Choose option 1. When it asks you which rom you use, choose 3 (skip).
5. Hold down power and vol(+) and vol (-) buttons.
6. Click wipe button in twrp. Wipe system, dalvik cache, data, cust, internal storage. Note: you will lose all your data.

Hi !
If you already flashed B506CN, you can flash now stock recovery for B506CN , to be able to flash UPDATE.APP from/dload folder !
Put your device in bootloader mode :
> adb reboot bootloader
or
> please press and keep, at the same time : power and volume down till your device shut-down ! Now , release power button but keep pressing volume down till you see Huawei logo : Huawei Ascend ! - In this moment you are in bootloader mode, and you can flash stock recovery for B506 from here !
Good luck !

Then everything is fine I think but by the way you can't never flash a custom ROM with stock recovery you need always TWRP and this you must flash in bootloader mode the ? Are all fine fastboot sees your device so you can flash a recovery.

[Q] Help me to flash ROM. Its bricked/stuck, I dont know.

My Huawei p6 is stuck at Huawei Ascend Logo screen or in TWRP menu.
Here is the history :
-From the stock Firmware, its been updated to B132 > B512 > B708
-TWRP installed and rooted.
-SD card partitioned and used Link2sd.
- Phone was working quite OKEY.
What Happened :
- I was fumbling with the phone, and accidently I used TWRP Advanced wipe (data, dalvik cache, system)
Now whats happening :
- Phone stuck at Huawei Ascend Logo screen
- If i press vol+ + vol - +power buttons, it goes to TWRP menu.
- in the TWRP menu, it shows NO OS INSTALLED at various places.
What I tried :
- I put the B708 zip file to SD card and tried flashing from TWRP.
md5 file not found, failed installing zip. FAILED.
- I tried B512 zip file too. same result.
Now the phone is always ON, in the Huawei Ascend Logo screen.
Note :
- I am not an expert user.
- The phone is not getting detected in windows.
How shall I get back to the B708 OS or atleast the stock firmware ?

Thanks for the support Tileeq.
The ROM file is
" B708_Repack_NeoArnet.V3". The one I used to update to kitkat 4.4.2, got from the XDA forum itself.

You cannot use TWRP to flash neoarnet's rom. It is an update.app file, so you need to flash the stock recovery onto your device, and then create a dload folder in the root of your SD card, and place the update.app file into the dload folder.
Do a local update using the Updater application.

Okey, That was quite an useful Info.
But How do I go back to Stock recovery ?
Updater Application is within the stock recovery I guess.. ?

No, the updater app is on your home screen.
It might be called System Update, or similar, if you're not on Emui 3.0.
How did you install TWRP? The process is the same, except you need the stock recovery. I can't give a detailed description now, but there are many guides explaining the process.

i got the same problem, my phone ran out of battery and then put it to charge and got stuck on the android logo, i cant install any rom, it was updated to kk with emui 3.0, i put the dload folder on the sd card root and when i try to open it it only appears ../, and if i put the boot.img on the sd card root it tries to install the os but tells me e: signature verification failed and stop installing

I think I missed to tell you that, it seems the phone got no OS now. Its not going further the Huawei Ascend Logo screen at Startup. Then how shall i run the updater ? I am confused.
Or are you telling me that I should install the STOCK RECOVERY just like I did TWRP ?
Wont it be easier if I find a TWRP compatible ROM ZIP (kk, emui 3.0 ) ?

Yep, you did. And yes, I meant that you can install the stock recovery the same way you installed TWRP (using fastboot commands).
I just assumed since you already had that firmware, that you'd want to update to that, but yes, it will be easier to just install a ROM that that you can flash through TWRP.
Let me know how it goes.

Using TWRP and the rom zip file.
It was a success.
But now there is no network !!!!! No sim inserted !!!

[Q] Buggy CM11 flash, now can't flash any other zip on twrp. What do I do?

So I bought this phone from a friend while I'm in china to use. It was running stock huawei JB when I got it and obviously it was less than stellar. So I rooted it, flashed the TWRP recovery and went on to flash CM11. I might have made a mistake doing that since I flashed from JB. Now my phone has a slew of problems such as it won't detect my sim, my computer doesn't detect it as a USB device anymore so I can't put any files on it; and there's no reboot menu at all; holding the power button just makes the screen a bit dark and that's it.
So I downloaded the emui KK file hoping to flash it but I can't flash that either. On TWRP trying to flash anything fails...unless it's the CM11 zip, which again leads to the same buggy results. I am at a loss here, what can I do to get it back to stock?

[Q] stuck after installing firmware

i flashed new firmware to my htc one m8
I got into recovery and changed the name firmware file.
but now in the recovery it doesn't recognize my internal storage, kind of. it says 0 mb.
And when I try via adb to push a file to it it fails. (adb push filename.zip /sdcard/)
so it seems like i only have the external card now working.
what can I do?
I'm currently in the stage where i have the firmware file in the right name and it keeps asking me to update, if i remove the external card, i can get into recovery change the name, and then i see it won't read the internal storage like i wrote up here.
but after I change the name i can get into fastboot mode.
I currently have recovery mode - twrp 2.8.0.3
p.s I think my internal storage does work, cause i can go into recovery mode(twrp), my external_sd was formmated
before i used to update the firmware, so it has nothing except for that file

You're not flashing the firmware through recovery, are you?

No, i flashed, with the guide here, via an external card, changing the name of the firnware so the hboot would recognize it.. and update it

I was thinking that maybe my twrp version 2.8.0.3 is too old for this bootloader veraion maybe, and i need to update to twrp to 2.8.6 and then try to transfer the rom file and install it.

Do u have any suggestions?

I have TWRP 2.8.0.6. You can download TWRP manager from Play Store, it has a list of TWRP versions you can install. The app installs them too. Everytime I used the app to install it, it says it failed but it actually works, just install, then say ok to the failed install pop up and reboot into recovery and it'll be there.
Edit: As soon as the firmware has flashed successfully, boot up and delete the firmware file off of your external SD card so it doesn't keep asking you to update.

I have no OS now.
I need to download it, and flash it via fastboot. I'm wondering if that's the problem that the internal storage is giving me these problems or it has nothing to do with it.
Does a different firmware require different twrp versions?

Not as far as I know. Your best bet man is probably to download an RUU and just flash that through fastboot or the external sd card method. Then after that, flash the TWRP then put a ROM zip on your phone and flash that way.

No, an RUU is a complete system install. Completely stock with the exception of some RUUs contain root. But it will wipe everything on your phone, all your personal data and what not.
