Firmware Build Dates vs Version Numbers

Wish they'd thought through the version numbering system before jumping ahead with the Chinese ROMs. It's great to see the rapid progress being made but there are now various overlaps in version numbers between the international and the Chinese ROMs meaning having the highest version number does not necessarily mean having the newest build.
For reference if you're checking out what's available :
B112SP01 (China) - Tue Jun 4 02:42:01 CST 2013
B107 (International) - Wed Jun 26 23:51:40 CST 2013
B115 (China) - Tue Jul 9 02:41:37 CST 2013
B111 (Official International) - Wed Jul 24 20:25:22 CST 2013
B116SP01 (China) - Sat Aug 10 20:41:39 CST 2013
B114 (International Leak) - Mon Aug 12 20:23:39 CST 2013
For my money, B116SP01 does feel a lot better than B111 - doesn't benchmark any better for me but in game performance is visibly smoother.

B111 released on July ?

This is what it shows on the middle east section of the huawei website. Does this mean the B114 would take a long time to reach the middle east ?
And also, any chances of an Android 4.3 update for the P6 ?

B111 was available for quite a while as an unofficial/leaked firmware update but not available through Huawei website - however, the version now officially available seems to be identical to the beta version. The dates I have quoted above are the build dates given in the build.prop file for each ROM rather than when they became available to the public. The official release date for B111 for the middle east is the same so I can't see there being a delay in getting B114.
As for 4.3, I hope so given Huawei's rapid release of updates so far but I'm no dev/insider so can't really speculate

B112=B111 - both are international versions!
the only difference is, that B112 is an OTA update for B104 and B111 is meant to be flashed from sd. there are no differences between these versions.
however, on the german p6 support site, you can also find a version of B112 for updating via sd. can't post any links yet, sry...

they ar not same .. there are some changelogs .. but nowhere stated ..
here is b107 , b111 b112 and b114 but not official .. http://www.huaweiblog.de/downloads/ascend-p6-downloads/

Since B112 was OTA, it is probably a regional variant and so other regions and countrys gone get their variant too. I posted on other thread of UK getting their own ROM.

funny, you say that they're not the same and at the same time you post a link to a site where they mention in an article that B111 and B112 are pretty much the same. :good:
I cannot post any links yet but if you search the site for ascend p6 you will find the mentioned article!
both have the exact same kernel versions: 3.0.8-0780-g62cb956
all other fw versions have slightly different kernel versions!
B107: 3.0.8-0769-g8cca155
B114: 3.0.8-0781-g88bfdc2

Its mentioned on SRSroot website too. But it could be old. When i googled P6-U06 B118, i see older dated websites.

interesting, if we're going to follow the naming convention format, B118 should be the latest firmware version no.! !

B117
In chinese VMALL (link) there is the B117.
I am really confused with thise different numberings. In italy now P6 is coming out from shops with B112.
I have on the mobile the B115 chinese and is working fine.

What about the B116 version? Is it no international (general) one?
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using xda app-developers app

When I installed version B116 is on my phone, there are several elements of Chinese characters.
This is probably still a development version - I think.

Version 111 is the latest from Huawei, there are some leaked roms floating around here on the forums which are newer.

Is it possible to get back to an older version, e.g. B111 or B114, by making an "update" with the stock recovery and the right update.app?
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using xda app-developers app

Downgrade goes smoothly. You simply upload the older ROM and everything works.

After I updated to B116 Google contacts sync does not work anymore. And also Google Play Store is missing. So I installed the latest vending apk. But how can I sync my contacts with my Google account again?

from what i've read the B11 and B112 are the same? Just that the B111 was for browser download to pc, and B112 was OTA? Or is it actually worth doing it from B111 to B112.

Not really, you said B111 and B112 were different which looks to be wrong, he is just asking for advice and confirmation of this.

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..

For Europe at least, the update has not started yet. It is supposedly scheduled for the end of March... Also, it will still be Android 10 so not too many changes...
