Hi guys,
I'm new to android and I was wondering if I can update my Ascend p6 in any way. I see there are non-official ROMs as well as the official Chinese kitkat update, but are these reliable? and if so which is best?
I would like to update but only if it would be stable. Can I update?

Hi everyone.
Just want to ask, what is the latest firmware? Recently a German website posted a leak of un-official B132 firmware last March 18, 2014 and the official Huawei China website with a B127 firmware last March 24, 2014. I am bit confused what is the latest among the two firmwares.
Thank you.

P6S has different chip from P6. You cant use the P6 rom.
The P6S was not released internationally. So international rom might not exist. You will have to use check the Chinese latest roms (they have english language anyway).

You do not happen to know where I can get international firmware? I cannot find it on the Hauwei site at all.
Or at the very least can I use the Gapps and for the P6?
The Chinese firmware is quite frustrating when you are used to the features of Google

Unlikely there will be a international version.
Have you tried installing google playstore app using an apk file ? If that works then you should be able to use all gapps. Otherwise you might have to root i guess.
I have not tried that yet, will attempt that later.
Thank you for the quick feedback.

I have upgraded my phone to this version via online update, so it is official for sure
Hello.
I haven't seen an official Kitkat update for the P6-U06 - International Edition (i have the B113, JB 4.2.2 version).
As Huawei seems that it doesn't care about it, i want to update mi stock ROM to a fully functional Kitkat custom ROM.
Which ones are the most recommended???
I've seen versions B5XX, to miui, etc, but with huawei, i haven't worked with updates (i had a samsung cellphone, then an LG G, with which i didn't have problems finding the best ROMs), so i need a little help here.

B510, B511 and B512 are Official International KitKat Updates.
Yep i think there is also an B513 by now
But if you want a custom Rom, there is CyanogenMod 11 (newly arrived!), Paranoid Android and OmniRom
In my opinion CM11 and PA are the best
So I got my p6 not long ago, and i figured that the android version is still 4.2.2 jelly bean. The EMUI is also 1.6 still with firmware B116.
I want to know which one is best to update first as I am still quite new to the whole android system.
Which one should I update first to prevent issues on my phone?: the android version to kitkat or the EMUI?
Also, does updating the android version change the firmware?

Updating the android does upgrade the emui and changes the firmware too. Strarting from B10x to B132 firmwares are running android jellybean 4.2.2 with emui version 1.6, from B506 to B508x are firmwares with android kitkat 4.4.2 and emui 2.0 (but these are Chinese ones), from B510 to B521 are kitkats with emui 2.3 (international ones) and from B704 and above are kitkats with emui 3.0 (both chinese and international can be found).

Official updates are pushed out by region. It is possible a newer version was released but not for your region.
