Huawei P6-U06 Chinese Rom - HELP!

I got this Huawei from China market, it's P6-U06 and running Chinese B113SP02, I'm looking for a best way to make it International and update to B125>B132>KitKat. Problem is there is no option for local update, only OTA but it is says "device up to date" Also I got bootloader unlocked and TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed from
new and there is no root for a moment.
Please see pictures for more details

I it's actually running a custom ROM because atx is a dev team from china so. It don't look like a fake copy.

Thanks I know it's no fake. The question is how to update to official kitkat if there is no "local update" option. Also I'm not sure where to find a stock recovery to force update.app file.
Recently I've successfully installed JB 4.2.2 and it seems good http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570602. I can live with it,
but how to get official kitkat on my device?

Root your phone,download b.513 rom repacked by oxalis and flashed true twrp.

When you want to use stock recovery than go to TWRP 2.6.3.3 for jelly bean and there should be an stock recovery for B118 this you can flash. After that you can flash the update.app for B132 and from there you can flash B512 which is the newest international firmware, if you want Chinese firmware you can update to B508.

thanks guys I will try both ways and will report

That's weird. I've flashed B118 stock recovery, full wiped and forced update.app but failed, I've tried B125 and B132. Update.app has been placed in my sd memory card /dload/. For now I'm on JB custom rom with stock recovery.
Maybe because I'm on custom rom based on B120, I have no idea

SOLVED
To any one having same problem as me. Flash B118 Stock Recovery (via bootloader and fastboot commands) Download P6 Unicom EMUI2.0 from here http://dl.vmall.com/c01l4l4a2y#, unpack and copy dload folder to your memory card and install from "locale update" or force update from recovery by pressing power+volume-volume when phone is off. Next, download B132 International and make update the same way as before (update.app in dload folder). Last step, download B512 official international kitkat and again unzip and use "local update". Just remember to delete old update.app in dload folder. If you experiencing any issues, just do factory reset for fresh install. As my phone is P6-U06, I don't know if it will works for others.
Just please notice: after B132 update I've had message "android process media has stopped" and had to factory reset before update to B512 KK.
so best Idea make a backup of all your important things before you do anything.
I hope it will help to somebody else.

Hi.
Sorry to bump this, but, Osstis, how did you get your bootloader unlocked? Is it necessary to have it unlocked in order install another firmware via local update? Mine is locked, I checked. I'm running a Chinese firmware (B508) and Google Play Store force closes everytime I open it, I've tried almost everything I could find online to get it fixed but nothing works.
I want to install B512 on my P6, too. I understand that I need to install a B1xx firmware first, but I'm not sure if I need to unlock the bootloader to do it. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. I rooted my phone through the one-click methods found online, those software say my phone is rooted but the app Root Checker Basic says its not, how can I be sure?. No custom recovery installed.
Thanks.

try to get your phone in bootloader mode via adb (adb reboot bootloader)..
there type "fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" (16*U)..
this worked for me (coming from intl b125 locked)..

If you are running B508 then tou should alredy have unlocked bootloader and you can install the B512 without a problem.

adb.
Does that make any difference?

no..i dont think so..
but i think you missed to load the bootloader at first with the cmd "adb reboot bootloader"..
then "fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
this is what i did with the b125 when i got my phone..

Isn't "adb reboot bootloader" simply the command to boot into bootloader? That's the first command I entered. If hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to enter "fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU". Would I? I might be wrong

Need help ASAP

I am spending 2 days to rescure my phone, because I am stucked in Stock recovery without ROM and "Huawei SD card update fail"... I would be really happy any help, because it is useless at this moment. Also I want to know how can I put it in fastboot?

Guide for fastboot is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636231
Updates will not work if you extracted directly from internal to sd card. May work if you put the .zip or .rar on your sd card, and then extract it and update the normal way. Not 100% sure about that though! Good luck :fingers-crossed:

You have to use a PC to get into fastboot, i followed the guide without problems.
What i said before might not be correct in your case so i wouldnt worry about it, sorry!

When I am in recovery and type adb devices command there aren't any devices showing, so I really have no idea what to do.

Since you have stock recovery maybe you should try updating from a sd card, bevause if had situations when that helps.

I think that B510 I'm 95% sure, oR maby B506
I wanted B634 but now I don't care I just want my phone working

the easiest way is that you reflash the b510..then do a factory reset and then flash through force update method the b634..(when you have the stock recovery - shouldnt matter which Version as long as it is a kitkat one :b510 -b513 or cn version b508 or lower).
after flashing do a factory reset again and then prepare your phone as you like..

How can I reflash B510? I don't have any rom installed, and B510 is in zip, so how can I flash zip with stock recovery? Also there is always Sd card update fail and I don't know why...

Try to get the stock recovery from the other firmwares B511, B512, B513. I had an issue that the update failed on the B512 with B510 stock recovery, flashed B512 recovery and it worked perfectly.

Install HiSuite (it will install drivers for your device), ADB on your PC.
Unlock bootloader if you did not.
Extract recovery image from your actual firmware, using Huawei Update Extractor.
Flash recovery via fastboot by the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
You can find in this forum how to accomplish every step.

huawei p6s seems to have a rollback action even when you are rooted.
You cannot delete any system app because they are restored when you restart your phone. In addition, you cannot edit build.prop, as you are not allowed to save the file. Do you know Kostyan_nsk what we should do to change permissions?
P.S. I have rooted the phone and I have flashed TWRP.

Do you have any idea? I tried the method with emulator and even though I delete "set_immutable.list", when I restart the phone guess it's back.

Try to unroot and then root again with other app. Vroot or Kingo root for example.

you can make it tool kk.zip

Now this HUAWEI P6 S-U06 does not even respond to formating and hard reset option in setting menu, it is just sticking on restating and stays on those. Thinese words..

Download that twrp img and make sure you have installed last drivers.
After that follow those commands
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "recoveryname.img"
fastboot reboot
And you are done.
This "recoveryname.img" is twrp recovery name,put it without quotes.

Need help to update rooted B520 to B708.

Hello guys. I'm android newbie .
I wanna install B708 EMUI 3.0. I have B520 now. My huawei p6 is rooted. I have TWRP. I put update.app to dload folder. When I'm trying to update it by "local update" from phone menu, phone is asking me about reboot. I'm clicking YES, and then I have TWRP menu. So i can't update it. Could you give me instructions how to do that?
Anyway, is it possible to root B708?

I think you will need to use rom that is compatable with TWRP. The huawei firmware won't install unless you have the stock recovery on your phone. I am on stock 708 I rooted with king root.

What is the easiest way to return to stock recovery in my case?

Not sure never been on TWRP. Are you sure you have it installed. You should be able to install stock recovery as a zip file from TWRP.

If you have TWRP. I'd install the 709 repack from oxalis. Can be downloaded from p6 development thread. Put it in a folder boot into TWRP and install from there. Make sure you read all the threads so you don't have any problems.
Sent from my P6-U06 using XDA-Developers mobile app

You could use Minimal ADB and fastboot from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 (just google for commands)
But I think it's possible with twrp as well. Just put the zip file on your SD card, go to 'install' in twrp and choose your stock ROM.zip on external SD (after the usual wiping).

I think that if you have b520 then you could get a repack of 708 or the oxalis one and install that over twrp. The problem lies in the version of twrp, before 3(not 100% sure which version) twrp can't update through an .img file, but can update though a .zip file. A zip file usually is a modified repack of the original firmware. However if you are determined to install a stock 708(which to my understanding there's none, cause 708 was ported backwards) you should switch to a stock recovery and then update through that by following the procedure you followed .
About rooting 708 not sure but i rooted 709 by oxalis with root genius.
