Just got my p6 yesterday and have to say I'm very impressed so far.
Have noticed that my version is b106 and I see that there is now a b111 out there however when I go to the about section and search for the update it says not available. My handset is a sim free device from the UK. Does the ota update service not work? If I have to download and flash it manually how do I do this and also what are the benefits of this version? Not really had much to complain about with the phone so far so want to be sure its worth it.
Thanks

The "B" stands for build number and it varies from country to country, some network providers also have there different "B" build numbers. If the B111 is meant for your device then OTA updater will prompt you for update, if you wanna update it manually by UPDATE.APP (dload method) then its the same if it is meant for your device then it will update but if its not then update will get failed

Succefully upgraded to b708, as per your instructions.
Huawei said it would release Lollipop update for few devices from next month, is our P6 going to get the update? Can some one port lollipop rom form other devices?

Ascend Mate 7, Ascend P7, Ascend Mate 2, Ascend G7 are the ones which will be getting the lollipop update. Phones with K3V2 chipset wont get it. P6 is nolonger supported by Huawei.
Do we P6 users get lollipop ROM from XDA then？I love the P6 and wish XDA will release Lollipop ROM earlier than Huawei.
Thanks

We don't have any developers left, they all hopped.
I'm currently on Stock ROM B132 with stock recovery
any advise on which ROM should i install similar performance with B132 (Stable)..
i want a stable, battery efficient and can be rooted to be able to tweak for better performance.
B708 or B709 so far the best !

The general consensus is that B125 and B132 were the best firmware for this device.
I think B125 is the one they got everything right.
N.B. these are Jellybean 4.2
The B510 series is Kit Kat 4.4.2

You are right about B125 but that emui 1.6, and since ive tried emui 3.0 im never going back to the old one thats why i would suggest the B708 series.

B125 is emui 2.0/3 Jellybean
So is B520 which is KitKat at emui 2.3
I'm on B520 and intend to stay there until I'm sure about the B708 series.
My phone is smooth, Mr battery life is excellent and I'm not reading those things on B708.
If Huawei finally release an official international, I'll update.
It's good that someone ROM'd 708 for people. As far as I'm aware it's based on the Chinese firmware.
I don't want problems with kernels etc.
How is your experience with it?
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using XDA Premium HD app
You are totally wrong about B125 being emui 2.3, and so far ive been using the B709 series since they are out, pretty satisfied with all options in and battery performance (as possible on our device) think ive flashed a kernel but dont know which one have to check and see.

Eh? I've just come off B125. At no point has my P6 EVER been on emui 1.6.
Don't know what P6 you're using mate, but thanks.

Dude. You ARE annoying me. The info on Huawei news is not what comes with the firmware.
Perhaps B107, the very EARLIEST release. B125, 128, 132 are the very last releases of Android 4.2 (jellybean) emui 2/2.3
I've had all the firmware actually on my phone except B107. My phone shipped on emui 2.0 - and was on 2.0/3 with the B5 series.
Whatever the case, I'll wait for an official release of the B708 international.

Sorry to jump in here, but @tileeq is correct. The international B125 (Jelly Bean) is EMUI 1.6
There was never an international EMUI 2.0, only in China. Also, on the P6, EMUI 2.0 was only released with the KitKat update. Those were the B506/7/8 firmwares for China.
The international firmwares, B510 and upwards, skipped EMUI 2.0, and jumped straight to KitKat EMUI 2.3.
If your device shipped with B51x, then you were lucky, but that means you didn't have the device for very long then.
cm11 with angel kernel is the best.

Yes, but heavy users have risk to destroy battery or phone with this combination. Phone and battery can overheat. there is no temcontrol integrated.
Definately B125 or 132. I tested B520 International and B708 and both of them had a HUGE lag in Chrome and some other apps. I hate ugliness of JB and EMUI 1.6, but i have to live with it.

Pozdrav, koji firmware koristis i da li ti se telefon previse greje kada si na internetu pogotovo preko 3g.
How can I install a new rom for this phone?
