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

My friends at Huawei Italia told me it will definitely receive Android 4.3 but they can't give any timing yet.

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
B108: 3.0.8-0772-g83e47c3

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.
Hello,
First of all, I am a complete noob when it comes to installing custom roms and firmware and stuff.
I want to install a custom ROM on my Huawei Ascend P6-U06 called HYD52ROM V5. In the instructions it says I need to be on B118CN. But as I can only find a download for the B118 I am a bit confused (and I ruined my last phone with doing this stuff). Has this something to do with it needing to be unlocked or something? Is there a guide somewhere on how to do this?
Help really appreciated!

B118 and B120 CN are Chinese firmwares. They unlock the phone and only through unlocked firmwares can you install custom firmwares.
There is also an international version of B118, but its not unlocked. The unlocked is only Chinese firmwares.
B118CN and B120 CN have a high risk of bricking phones and many users have bricked their phones out here on xda.
A Chinese kitkat beta firmware has been leaked recently, and this firmware is unlocked too. So upgrading to Kikat rom first and then custom rom is the safest way.
See index thread for related information.
So can I just upgrade to the KitKat beta as I would upgrade to B118 (or any other firmware) or is this something different?

yes you can upgrade the same way you upgrade any other official firmware i.e. through settings>about>local update. While custom firmware are upgraded through TWRP recovery.

Okay so I have one last question, do I need to root my phone before I upgrade to the KitKat Beta. And do you have a link to the version I need to upgrade to? (I am on B112 right now if that matters). Thanks for all the help man!

No you don't need to root.
The kitkat beta is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630935

Also maybe its stabler to first go to B125 international (find the download file in index thread), and then after that go to kitkat beta.

I want to install the general version of the software which is posted on the huawei site on my T00.
It's for U06. So is the difference in hardware?
I don't think so. So how can I flash this ROM?

Hi,
I don't think it will work because the ROM posted on huawei official site is only for Ascend P6-U06 (international firmware) and yours is T00 (chinese firmware).
If you gonna do this anyway, I suggest you to make a backup of your phone !
Good luck

Thanks for the reply.
I tried it and it failed during the VERLIST test.
The problem is in the 3G actually. I can't find modules to flash.
I am not rooted but i am willing to.
Hi Guys
Since am using B119 isit fine if i update to this one over here
B510 Official Android 4.4 KitKat Update Released in Europe
If you have the full update.app file for B510, then you can try updating using the local update method. In theory, it should work, but if not, you'll need to update to B125/B132 in order to update to B510.
Please let me know if you've tried it. [emoji106]
