My truth about the so-called "Official" B506 Firmware Upgrade - Huawei Ascend P6, Mate

1. It sucks if you try and use it in the Western world - this is NOT meant for us.
2. It is incomplete - Try and flash it using the recovery procedure and you are in for some major butt hurt. ONLY flash it from within JB!
3. Reception sucks.
4. It needs to have GAPPS installed via recovery.
5. Downgrading is a massive headache.
6. It will change your handset from U06 to C00
7. Did I mention that it sucks.
IMHO it is not worth all the trouble upgrading to this yet. Wait for the bona-fide official international version...
My 2 cents...

8. None of the above is true.

Read the title of this thread: This is my truth and my experience with this crappy beta firmware being flaunted by some script-kiddie as an official release.
Do you live in Europe or the Americas? If so then try flashing it from your phone's recovery and let us see how long you are going to run it.
As proof do paste a screenshot of your phone's "About phone" and Model number in particular. Let us see what that says when you flash this firmware. LOL
Peace

I try it and there is no problem. I am from Germany. The only thing after a reset I must install the playstore by the chinese app store. Then I can install all apps with it. My device is always P6-U06

Did you flash the rom from withing Jellybean or using the recovery method?
Using the recovery method all data is cleared and ONLY the new firmware is installed. See what happens if you do this lol
But if you are happy with it as it is then there are no problems - alles ist gut! Alles klar!

Perhaps u need more readings before accomplish some jobs... BTW, if u updates from SD. using simplest "local update" method, u has avoided all of ur said "troubles".
For instance, I've updated from B125, W/OUT any hassles... All my progs, contacts, messages, files and settings are here (including Gapps) also has respected my natural language (Spanish)...
I've only one complaint, til now I can't root the B506 (Vroot can't root also... ).
BTW2, my P6 continues been P6-U06... Now have far better headphones level & quality, better GPS search and some more benefits.
Obviously, this ROM is made for China people, not for Europe but is perfectly usable until we've european version... It's a matter of patience, boy... Only a little more

In order to help you to downgrade from B506 you could use this "road map" (taked from Mr. Mansoor, in Huaweinews webpage):
===============================================================================
""Downgrade from B506 to B125
===============================================================================
NOTE: Downgrading will remove your user files, settings and all the data on Internal Storage
===============================================================================
1. Download P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0.rar (http://bit.ly/1hhwXCX) – Click Blue button
showing down-arrow to start download.
2. Download B125 (http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/Roms/Ascend-P6/B125.zip)
3. Create dload folder in SD Card
===============================================================================
4. Extract First Downloaded file (P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0.rar), put UPDATE.APP file (243MB approx.)
in newly created dload folder.
5. Backup Data from Internal Storage (will be deleted after downgrade)
6. Go to Setting > Updates > System Updates > Local Updates
7. Click Confirm
8. Phone will restart into recovery and start the update process.
===============================================================================
9. After restarting the phone, delete UPDATE.APP (243MB) file from dload folder of SD Card.
10. Extract second downloaded file (B125.zip), put UPDATE.APP file (1.52GB) into dload folder
of SD Card.
11. Repeat the process from 6 – 7
12. Phone will restart into recovery and update process will start.
===============================================================================
13. After update phone will restart, at this moment you phone may stuck on Huawei Logo,
Don’t panic, just hold the Power button until Huawei logo disappear.
14. After disappearing of Huawei logo, Immediately press the [ Vol + , Vol - and Power button ]
altogether and keep holding them until you see the recovery screen, release the buttons to
start the update process again, after that your phone will restart normally.
15. Now you have the Official Version of Jelly Bean 4.2 on your Huawei P6-U06.
===============================================================================
Note: Downgrading will remove your user files, settings and all the data on Internal Storage""
Hope will help you.

Yes lol
Thank you La Aguja! :laugh:
I also quoted the attached instructions from Mr Mansoor on numerous places here to help people revert back to their previous version.
I was just stating the fact that for me the new firmware was not so great and B125 is still the best version for me at this moment in time.
Perhaps when the international B506 comes out will I be much happier to use it. e.g. the builtin Weather widget and app connecting to a western weather service and not to a Chinese one etc.
I can however see a great improvement in the basic Android services with a marked user friendliness with the new version. There is a lot of potential here to improve the user experience of all P6 users.
I found the easiest way to root B506 was to unlock the boot loader and flash TWRP recovery for KitKat. When you then boot into recover and exit it will see that your 4.4 is unrooted and will ask whether it can root it for you. This was very, very easy.
Kindest Regards,
Falci.

You can actually change the weather service to the international server when you edit your build.prop from:
ro.product.locale.language=zh
ro.product.locale.region=CN

To:
ro.product.locale.language=en

And then restart your device. When you go into the weather app again, it will give you the popup asking to allow location services or whatever, then you'll see that it's using AccuWeather.com instead of AccuWeather.com.cn :good:

Hey guys, I've cleaned this thread from some disrespectful comments and "lol" posts - everything that adds nothing of value to the topic, basically. I see the OP's problem seems to be resolved now, but as a general reminder, there's no need to make an argument out of nothing because someone doesn't share your opinion. The best thing to do is to help them out if they're wrong, which is what happened in this thread. :highfive: Thanks!

I got my P6 from Amazon.de. I installes B506 over B132 and i am very satisfied, some minor issues....

By now I'm unable to say if B506 is better than B125 or not but I've upgraded, precisely, from B125 and, after have rooted (with chinese version of VRoot, thx to a Mr. Warea advice...) my B506 I've started to be happy w/it...
I continues reading and learning about and testing, testing, testing...

Yep. I'm from Finland and same problems here. I updated via Settings, local update. Reception cuts alot, also it feels incomplete and I can see chinese letters for example in Messages app. This totally is for China users only, MAYBE we can get international version someday. Now back in B132...downgrade was a headache - yes.

CM 10.2 on Ascend Mate?
Does anyone know how hard it would be to get CM 10.2 to run on the Ascend Mate? Just got the phone and really love it but can't stand all the bloat which really kills the batty. Love to have something lean and mean like CM running on my phone.
Thanks.

CM 10.1 is the best we can hope for until huawei release a 4.3 or 4.4 rom for the mate and then we will still need a way to flash a custom recovery. Until then our options are very limited.
But the updates its to slow...

MIUI 5 3.8.12 for Huawei Ascend Mate.
Hey all, I found this ROM; an update (I think) to the previous MIUI ROM. I've loaded it up and have had no real problems. Pretty simple install. Skipped the MIUI and GMS downloads. Used latest Google Play apk instead. First off, the bottoms don't show. Go to settings and change nav button height (I changed both portrait and landscape to "52" and it looks nice).
Overall, this MIUI stuff seems pretty slick! =)

hi thegooz,
i hv downloaded it. just in case would you be kind to include how you flash it with a guide? thanks.
i read the guide but just in case someone would want to ask the same question over and over again, they'll have the flashing guide.
i havent install it yet, wanna try when i get back.
by the way, i revert back to B221, will it be compatible? i also had downloaded the Official B907 from the russian site but have not flash yet.
just want to know anyone experiences towards these.
I feel that i've made a mistake.
I try flashing the miui rom from thegooz link. Its stuck in bootloop/keep restarting when still reading files during the last system reading. That was in 60% batt.
Now keep restarting that way.
When i discionnect the charging cable it turn off and restarting again. Same as when i connect the cable again.
Any suggestion guys.

I've used the B907 as well. It's just a dload onto the SDcard and install. That ROM seems to be the best one in my experience. However, I couldn't the hide/show nav buttons to work. I ended up using Ultimate Dynamic Navbar Lite by Pavel (googleplaystore) to get the effect.
I'll probably switch back to it soon. I like MIUI but, it isn't as smooth although it looks better; and some things don't work well, i.e., voice assistant is in Chinese, MIUI audio player doesn't work with APEX launcher....things like that.
This is how I installed it. You might have to unplug/replug the usb and start over if it doesn't read Daemon. just unplug phone, close bluish/green window and try again. It took me a couple of times.-
Unzip ROM to desktop.
Put your usb cable in your pc and your phone.
Check if it is in debug mode (I was connected as Huwaei suite option).
If it isn't in debug, then go to settings developer options put usb debugging on.
Open ROM folder on desktop and press shift and double click on flash_all (its a batch file)
A command line window will appear in blueish/green (it's in Chinese).
Just press 1 on your keyboard and press enter (rom)
Then press enter again.
The phone will shutdown and will immediately will reboot you will get the Huawei ascend logo en the files will transfer now wait the phone will boot into the new ROM and your done (give it a while and don't unplug until the window appears to be completed).
I've done before and was able to dload back to B907 off SD card.
I've a 1.5gb version phone.
Good luck.
I am now stuck in bootloop. Mistakrnly didnt realised the battery is low 4+%.
At first try it went to bootloop so i restart in recovery force update with dload in ext sd card. Until 'Checking Module SYSTEM' phone restart in the middle and keep restarting at huawei logo.
I think battery not enough. So now i need help if anyone knows how to deplete
The battery so can charge. No led light when connect to usb cable/ no signal of the mate charging.

You will probably need to leave ur mate on charge for sometime before ur mate is able to return to its normal state.
Try also the force installation method to install the B907 ROM to revive ur unit.
(with or without the charger connected).
Hope this helps..

Agreed. Or try holding all three buttons (pwr/volume +/_-) and wping/ clearing data then any ROM from SDcard (dload)
Thanks gooz n syaah.
It seems when i connected to cable to charge its not charging but turn on and stuck on the huawei logo. Cant turn it off except if i disconnect the cable. Theres no led light when connect to cable too.
When i press both vol button it will start the sdcard update but stuck in the last 'Checking Module SYSTEM' and when its in middle loading it restarted either back to the sdcard update or stuck in the logo screen.
I did left the phone stuck on the logo for a night hoping it will deplete the batt but to no avail. Still the same situation.

[Q] Huawei Ascend P6 update from B510 to B520 (rooted device)

Hi!
About a week ago, the two icons on my phone - settings and tools- showed '1 update available' symbol. It was about the firmware update from B510 to B520. I tried the normal online procedure but it did not work. Again, following the XDA Forum guidelines, Huawei News Forums and some other help forums online, still I could not find any easy steps or guidance describing the exact situation i.e. an update procedure from B510 to B520 for P6. Later, I remembered that my phone has been rooted for a while. I do not know if that was the reason. . . ? To be honest, I am an Android novice. So, I need someone to help me in as simple way as possible. Please, anyone?
Regards and thanks, in advance!

Your phone is rooted, but did you made any changes to build.prop / local.prop files? For repairing drop zone manager/ changing region / repairing phone sound volume restrictions? If you've done that, you must revert back the changes first. All files must be in their default condition - then try update again.
What message it gives you, when you try to update? Does the phone goes in recovery mode? (black screen with android on the background and some yellow writings)
If you rooted with VRoot, simply try to unroot again with the same program. The program itself have this option. Than try again online.
If in the end you cannot update online, just update with flashing the update thru LOCAL UPDATE from your SD card.
Thanks, but I need more help, please!

Hello, ThunderBird891!
I am so glad that you replied - know that you are the first person ever to reply to me in this forum since I joined in!
To move forward, I would like you to know a few more things and, please, note that I am a novice, who just happened to try the rooting process out of curiosity.
I might have used Vroot or RootGenius. Next, I don't know how to revert build.prop / local.prop files? For repairing drop zone manager/ changing region / repairing phone sound volume restrictions, either. Or, do you mean revert to factory settings? I don't have an SD card! Depressing, right?
But. . .one thing, I know is that the phone goes to recovery mode as you described, a black screen with android on the background and some yellow writings - error 7 or something. Finally, it goes back to reboot and repeats the whole process after the normal reboot but no update, still.
What can I do then?
HELP!!!
Look like your download is corrupt or something, did you try to download it again?

Hi! I'm glad to respond you!
It doesn't matter that your phone was rooted once! And even if it is rooted now - still it must download and upgrade your firmware. The only difference after the upgrade will be, that you will lose you root!
And so I think the problem is something other! So i suggest you to do the whole downgrade to 4.2 procedure, and then go back to updating to all versions up to B520. Don't worry! When you go back B132 for example, it will prompt you that it has upgrade vie OTA (Over The Air) so you can upgrade directly! Just follow my instructions STRICTLY, just as I described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/general/how-to-downgrade-4-4-4-2-change-chinese-t2951566
(the downgrade process can be done with any official huawei 4.2 firmware, like B125 for example, not only B132! I just prefer to use B132. You can use the same firmware version, with which you phone was delivered to you. If you can remember this version number of course. I personally prefer B132 because this was the version with which my phone was shipped to me. )
When you downgrade you will lost any data on the phone, but you'll be able to go B520 - we hope! I think, that there is no problem that you have no SD Card! Just put the update/upgrade/downgrade files in the dload folder of the internal memory of you device. If there is no dload folder, you can create it! If it doesn't downgrade again, then try to get/find some sd card from friend or just buy one and try the procedure again from the sd card! I can't say if the problem persist because the lack of SD Card, because I have SD and I've never tried to do it from internal memory! Just try and write me again!
Also I would like to know in which country / region you're in?
Thanks for your interest!

Working zip of Chinese stock rom for 6045I

First of all I am not a established developer still learning android system...... if anything creates problems after flashing this rom or after installing, dont blame me..
Proudly present the rom for Idol 3 6045I ported from it Chinese sibling TCL I806.
Fully working on my 6045I. Its stock 5.0.2 from TCL I806.
Many chinese apps have been removed but still few remains which can be removed by getting root.
Features:
1. Less Lags.
2. Fast.
3. Camera is working far better than the recent updates provided for 6045I.
How to install:
Caution : Before doing this, please make backup of your system & efs as mentioned by Famewolf in his thread of making backups.
1. Just download the zip from the link provided below and keep it in the root of sdcard.
2. Also download the gapps provided in the links. First link is which I installed on my device and second one is the latest. Keep it also in the root of the sdcard.
3. Now just boot into recovery mode i.e. TWRP , do not wipe anything, script will do it itself and just go to install and choose the stock chinese rom for 6045I.zip and flash.
4. Let the process to complete. It will ask to restart the system and just restart the system.
5. After first start choose language and other options, again boot into recovery mode and flash the gapps provided.
6. Here the stock chinese rom will run smoothly on your 6045I.
7. If TWRP gives error "error in executing binary" then you have to manually edit the updater-script but it depends on what your TWRP says about the error. So just ask me I will tell you what changes to make in updater-script.
After couple of manual restarts or with time rom will start to run smoothly.
Links :
Rom : removed due to some problems occurred after flashing.
gapps : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001614559 or https://basketbuild.com/gapps (choose android 5.0).
For any kind of help regarding to this rom pm me or just ask in this thread.
I will try my best
Caution : Does not works on 6045Y & 6045K.
Backup efs also in case u loose ur IMEI or having error of unknown baseband/ no network
If you like my work, dont forget to hit thanks......
Sorry for all the trouble caused.
Well I am also in the same boat as well.....

Now going to sleep, as have to go office in morning......
Quick question. Can this rom read/write ExFat? I'd rather have my sd card formatted to that so that i can store larger movie files.
Are there any real noticeable differences besides less lag and fast? Those two mean almost the same thing. Does this ROM offer anything major that the US stock ROM doesn't? Awesome work though making a new ROM for the community to try. We appreciate your work. :good:

One enhancement I read about was that it did have newer camera software. Many of the packages included are newer version levels than the ones included on our phones because the i806 came out after our models.

You should consider removing the system update checker from your custom rom. The icon appears in your screenshots so I'm assuming it's still included. Since the build.prop says it's a 6045i but it has the i806 codebase patches will never apply since the checksum's won't match.....so depending on what "version" it thinks it's on vs the update version the update checker will either never show an update or always show an update.
OK. I think I have this working. The ROM seems to be functional for me. Downloading all my apps now and getting it set up how I like. Will try to run it through the day tomorrow and see what I like and don't like... not expecting much difference over stock, but we'll see.
Anyone have a suggestion for a lollipop compatible "minimal gapps?" I'm really only interested in google play and gmail..no need for google+ etc.

I might still have a PA micro gapps file somewhere. Just need to see if it's 5.0 or 5.1.
Edit: Here you go. Just pick up the zero gapps. It works perfectly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792842
Another option is the Slimgapps official thread here. They do have a "zero gapps" package, and both 5.x I think.

Yupp bro.
Just edit build.prop with notepad++ and change it to 6045Y instead of 6045I and flash the rom.
Then check the log of TWRP specially before the error in executing updater binary.
It will say something about the check_cu.
If you will open updater script with notepad++ you will see first line of command saying "check_cu("6045I-2AALUS7");"
Just change this line ("6045I-2AALUS7") with the line shown in the TWRP similar to this ( something like 6045Y-XXXXXXX)
Then again flash the rom, gapps and hope it will work.
If it works, dont forget to hit thanks button :laugh:
Ok... I'll see, my phone is less than one week old and I swore myself that this one would be kept untouched for a year. I wanted to keep it clean for warranty purpose but one week later... I'm already rooted.
I'm kind of flashaholic so won't resist very long... Don't worry.
What will it update exactly? Is there a risk it will mess up the European radio part? Just to make sure I'll still get a good signal or loose imei.
I do have my twrp backup for boot and system image, will that be enough to get back to a previous working state?
Thanks,

I rooted my phone the next day it came to me,
Eventually i am also not going to get warranty as I imported this device from US to India.
N I personally dont care about warranty as none of the android device gets bricked completely, there is always a way.
Like I got stucked in bootloops in try of porting cm12.1 from other device.Even my backups failed to boot. Then I followed the mobile updater app provided by Alcatel and it simply restored my device to factory rom which will get updates also.
N warranty will not work if the device got physically damaged.
Yes backup will work.
After flashing this rom I would suggest you to make TWRP backup of this rom also alongwith Stock one.
I am getting a lot of range in network selection as it contains all the radios available for this device.
Screenshots of network range:

It's much safer to mod now since with Version 4.9.2 of the Mobile Q software from alcatel (you have to tell it you have a "pixi" for that version to appear as it's so new) allows you to put the phone in "download mode" and fully restore the device to factory condition. (tested by multiple idol 3 users of both the 6039 and 6045) This goes a long way towards making the device unbrickable.

I agree with you bro......:good::good:
Thanks both for your answers. Yes the Alcatel restore software makes things way easier to fix. I already installed it yesterday to make sure my phone drivers are installed for any "phone state". I also have the android sdk installed.
By the way, I am thinking to bring my small contribution to this forum by creating an " ultimate list of mods/softwares/issues" for this phone.
There have been so many news and achivements in the past few weeks, it's a bit difficult to read everything in the correct order.
So last question, how about the radio, imei, etc... Any risk on this?
And then, I think I'll give it a try.

I'm attaching a platform.xml file already modded to allow full read/write access to the external sd (just drop the .zip off the filename as that was just to get xda to allow me to upload it...it's a text file)....you might find it useful to replace this in yours.(/etc/permissions)..other options include pre-rooting...adding in init.d support....etc.
Ran this ROM overnight and through most of my day so far (about 3 hours off the charger). First impression is that it's about the same as stock, not that I was expecting any different. You get the TCL splash screen at boot but the overall UI is pretty much the same. Since I now have root I went ahead and used app quarantine to freeze the bloatware apps I didn't want. Kinda wishing I had installed minimal gapps, but I figure I'll be reflashing again soon since the floodgates are probably about to open with new ROMS anyway.
Conclusion: If you're curious, flash it, it doesn't hurt anything. It may be a hair smoother, and I haven't really tested the camera extensively enough before or after to be able to tell a difference.
Edit: Literally as soon as I submitted this message (from my PC) I went to turn wi-fi off and the phone decided to reboot. Really odd.

B163 OTA Update (Chinese)

Here is unreleased B163 OTA update. (Must be on B156)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B79PB4FhWfJAM0hMUWNDanE1ZW8/view?usp=sharing
Note that I haven't found a way to install it yet.
Change log is:
Dear customers, this update improved experience of camera and system performance. involved latest Google patch, Please update your device for improved experience.
Optimized experience of camera.
Improved system performance.
Improved security of system.
Improved system stability.
I have found a way to get all OTA and full updates. Unfortunately, this update only exists in OTA form right now.
I'm hoping someone who has a non-Chinese Mate8 can get in touch with me and I can find all the updates for it as well.
Thank you. How would you install it on the AL10 (stock recovery/unrooted) device?
wow, good work there buddy! looking forward to more OTA leaks from your side
Hiw to install?
please read the first post: "Note that I haven't found a way to install it yet."
Guys full rom (B156) here to hope to pass to B163
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24399994186367275
i think this technique can be used if we are able to extract the files into the OTA file.

No, mate ota file don't work in this way

I confirm that...putting the zip on internal sd it doesn't give the message "impossible to find the update package" (or similar I don't remember) as you put it in the external...the verification starts, starts also the "updating phase" but it freezes immediately at 5% (in my opinion without modifying anything, cause I was able to reboot normally)....just to be clear, I'm on B156 but I've root and decrypted boot...maybe the success could be obtained starting from a clean b156....maybe rowihel2012 could kindly give us more details on his upgrade success (phone model, starting firmware status,...)

Non-root stock does not work either to install this. There's an .app file that HiSuite recognizes if you unzip the file that you downloaded... However once loaded and phone restarts it just takes you to a screen where you can wipe or restart. Tried the other way too and get the 5% and then freezes. Something isn't right with the archive. Saw another dload folder on root but can't mess with it since I'm stock. Maybe you could try that directory

theyre both for AL10 but u can crossflash. also, no one has gotten B163 to work yet

In the root directory there is a folder called dload and inside is a file called update_huawei_dload. Has anyone tried renaming the update to that same name and putting it in that folder?
Has anyone tried to flash this OTA zip file by TWRP ?
I just opened this zip file and found some of scripts which are similar with that's used in TWRP.
I flashed L29 152 update NXT-l29C432B152-FULL-OTA in TWRP on my AL10 after deleting all data. And everything works, so far, apart from themes.
They apply but doesnt do anything. Also it did throw up some error but forgot to take note of it.
I presume b163 will do the same thing,

Problem: Bootloop and "software install failed"

Hello,
hopefully you can help me with my seemingly bricked Honor Pro 8 because of root and stock rom update procedures. I bought the phone with amazon and the package seemes to give me the information to have an EU-version of the phone.
The fastboot get-oem-information code or so also puts out the status of an European bootloader.
Regarding my working steps first of all the phone took the new update. Then I was successful in unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP and rooting it by supersu.
But after that I was curious about the "Magisk" rooting abilities. Therefore I tried a superuser-unroot via script finding inside this forum following by flashing a extracted boot.img of an update.app file of a DUK-L09C432B130 update. After ending in a bootloop by trying the 1.30 beta version of magisk I was able to boot the normal android desktop after I uninstalled the beta version and having flashed the normal 1.20 version.
But then I tried to install 2 certain modules inside of magisk. In consequence the problem was to see the rebooted android not to load any icons. In the other side it put up the message of not having enough mobile disk memory after some minutes which couldn't be true in fact. So I tried a factory reset inside TWRP and also a full wipe. Disappointingly I haven't been successful in rebooting android once more.
Therefore I unseccessfully tried to flash the Full-OTA-MF stock rom of DUK-L09C432B130 in two versions and the L09-C432b120a via the EMUI-install mode by pressing vol+ and - and power buttons. To do that I prepared a SD card as a exfat format. But I just received the message of "software install failed" when reaching 5 %.
So I got to the frustrating point not to know what stock rom I can flash in another try or doing anything else. I would be very glad if U could help me in this desperating situation. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks and best regards.

That is my problem not to know which version to use because three dowloaded EU-versions weren't successful to install. It resulted in an error at 5 % of the 3-buttons-install mechanism.

you download the nocheck recoveries from my rebranding guide, download the corresponding firmware by morph (important!), flash both recovery images just like stated in the guide, boot into recovery mode like you would do to boot into twrp, do a factory reset, reboot and insert the microsd with the dload folder from extracted downloaded firmware and boot into force dload mode (vol+ and vol- and power) - the installation should start now and reset everything back to full stock.
Regards
Thank you very much OldDroid. You're my hero. It worked fine.
But to install the new 130-update the phone starts inside TWRP and ends with an "error 9" and the words "block image verify", "asserts failed". Could it be possible to perform the update by starting the forced update process by pressing the three hardware buttons on booting? And is it possible not to wipe the data and losing root by using a update?
Viele Grüße aus Berlin nach Berlin

OTA packages cannot be installed via twrp at the moment
you should use stock recovery for that!
Best regards

Could you explain me a bit more please? Is it the standard system update ins the systems menu, here it wants to load the 2,9 GB file. Updating this way with the "no check recovery" resulted in an checking error at about 12 %.
Or could it be via recovery shortly after starting the phone? But there are no choices to choice. It just automaticely begins installing something stopping at 5 %.
Hope you can help one more please.

soooo, if you flashed one of @-=MoRpH=- 's firmwares, your device is back to stock and the recoveries have been overwritten again! I don't recommend flashing OTA updates or other things through the NoCheck version as it is only intended for worst-case cenarios.
But could you tell me the single steps to update from Morph's DUK-L09C432B120 version to the newest version DUK-L09C432B130?
I only got errors to update the firmware DUK-L09C432B130 from the stock rom thread in this forum and the russian website mentioned there.

That is just needed to be done as last resort. Better stick with dload.
