Hello everyone,

Thanks in advance to who could help me!

I think that you can update.
B132 (Latest 4.2.2)
http://download.seo-fuerst.de/index.php/Entry/539-B132/?944ea963&l=2#files
B512 (Latest 4.4.2)
http://download.seo-fuerst.de/index.php/Entry/544-B512/#files
1. Unpack the .zip
2. Copy the dload Folder on your extl. SD-Card
3. Turn Off your P6
4. Use POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN
5. The P6 will automaticly do a force update and patch the new Version.
I thank you for the quick response.
Unfortunately when, in the force update menu, I go on "Install from SD card -> /dload" it can't find any file in the /dload folder and thus I cannot install the Android update. This happens for both versions you advised. I tried also to update in normal mode (Settings -> System update) but an error occurs (in Chinese of course). Do you have some more advice for Android update?
Many thanks!!
I had the same problem with Google contacts, solved it by downloading contactssyncadapter.apk (you can find it using Google) which is missing in Chinese firmwares. Just install it and you're done.
As for the installing B512 part, have you extracted the dload folder in the zip file into the root directory of your SD card? If you did, then I can't be of any more help. I've been trying to move from B508 (Chinese) to B512 for 2 weeks and I haven't been able to do it.

Very thanks for this advice! With "contactssyncadapter.apk" I quickly solved the Google contacts synchronization problem!
But I cannot install the B512 firmware! Of course I extracted the dload folder into the SD root directory, but the Android Installer can't find the update.apk file in the /doload folder!
The real problem of Chinese version are the "self-installing apps" that continuously ask to be installed! Does anyone knows who to definitely block them?
Thanks for support!

I was finally able to install B512 after following the steps showed in this post. Try it, it's the same coming from B508 to B512, just download B512 instead. Those chinese apps won't be there anyome and you'll have working Google Play and all syncing options.

I have P6 from T-Mobile with 102 Firmware version.
Can i upgrade to B111 Official Firmware without losing warranty?
I know that Official firmware will remove T-Mobile crap, and that's what i want.
And how should i update firmware, force through recovery or through Settings?

I chat with them throught Chat Service and they confirm me that i will NOT lose warranty if flash Official firmware from Huawei.
And i saved that conversation
So i'm askink what method should i use to flash?
Flash it from settings (Normal Method)
Or Flash it from recovery (Force Method)?
I weas thinking to flash it with force method because it's T-Mobile modified firmware on it now,
and it maybe wont flash it from settings because of that.

B122 is a leaked version. Last official is B111. I use B122 without any problems and I thinks it is a better than B111.
I'm confused now. Here on xda i see that there is B118, B119, and B122 versions to download.
That is probably lekaed versions. Correct me if i'm wrong.
And is this versions International?
I found B111 on Huawei international site, this should be International version
B117 i found on Chinese Huawei site to download,
so probably this is stable versions. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Does this Chinese versions have English language in ROM?

B111 is official international version. While B118, 119, 122 are leaked international versions.
Chinese firmwares on the other hand got no google apps and it got some Chinese apps. Don't use B117, its 2 months older and some users have got their phone screwed up cause of it. Chinese got new one recently and i believe an official new international would be out too.
Thanks man. Now it's everything clear to me.
Then i'll use only International versions for my P6.
I think i'll try leaked B122 version. I see that everyone use it and there is no problems.
Hi !
The last update for HAP6 is firmware B119 and not B122 ! You can take a look here !
Also chinese version does not include multilanguage ( but English is included ! )
Right now I'm on B104 and after I checked online update , I found B112 OTA update !

I doubt B119 is latest. Because someone mentioned that when checking the last edited date of file, the B119 is one month older to B122. I have also read some people who used both say they prefer B122. But difference would be barely noticeable i guess.
And B112 is similar to B111. Just that certain countries got it as OTA update. And UK users even got a B116 as an OTA update.
But anyway it terms of performance and stability as for now, then B119 and B122 are the choices. Now just gotta wait for reviews of the new Chinese B118 and maybe a new official international version.

B118, B119 and B122 are leaked international version. B117 is ROM for China and it don't have a Gapps. Try B119 or B122 you can not go wrong.

Do i need to go back to stock B125 if i want to install B014firmware via dload method ?
Yes and No. It depends.
locked P6 root
if yours locked try to get root with kingoroot program ,you can easliy find it Google search,after root ,install cwm and flash gapps 4.4.2,remember when reboot your phone is fix the root,and you can root again same way
This guide is using the older twrp rather than the newer TWRP built for kitkat.

Yes u must be on B125 International and yes u can flash the modified Chinese firmware alongside the files by Team Fly.
I installed Kitkat yesterday with this method i didnt encounter any problems(excepting a bunch of apps closing when u first start your phone but once u start them for the second time they work without any issue).
From what i could tell from reading several pages of posts on the German forum, not even a single phone was bricked.
But i must warn u, the beta version of Kitkat isnt worth it:
1. It lacks immersive mode
2. It still uses Dalvik instead of ART
If u are going to update you are updating purely for Emui 2.3
root.. okay..

First of all you are on B118. You need to be on B125 to flash kitkat.

You can only install twrp over unlocked firmware. So first you have to update to Kitkat beta (which is an unlocked firmware) the normal way through settings> local update,
Will this also work with Ascend Mate?

Hello I want to get huawei ascend p6 but am worried about all these issues people talk about. How is stock rom on p6 and what rom is most stable? I hear lots of issue with kitkat and many different beta version. Is official version not out yet? I am confuse since some say official some say beta. I dont' really want kitkat I am fine with 4.2 I just want stable. Should I just not check for update in android settings when I get phone? Or what version should I update to for best stable? I don't know if huawei pushing out beta builds on phone when you check for update so want to be sure get best most stable ROM.
For stability, I would say you want B125. If like me, your carrier hasn't updated you to this it's very easy to flash it using the update.app. It has good performance and very few bugs
KitKat B511 german and B508 chinese are no Beta. Both works perfect on my P6. Better as all rom before. :thumbup:
-B511 have no longer rightmanagment (restricted by google)
-B508 have no Gapps and all Huawei options are viable. But you can root it and flash Gapps with TWRP.
I'm prefere B508 on my P6.

I didn't even know that there is B607. But I can tell you that the most of the people has B634 FW (from Turkey) on it's P6 and it works great. Better battery life, fluid movements through menus, etc...
Member Sustia has done it - please see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/help/firmware-b606-ota-available-t2900817
You need to update to B132 first, then KK B510 & above..
Being a 'new' member I cannot post relevant external links, but you can Google P6 B132 & P6 B510 for instructions & downloads - they should be the first link in each search by site huaweinews.com
From the B510 link:
Make sure that you are running B132 firmware before installing this new B510 release.

I have Huawei Ascend Mate MT1-U06 with Android 4.1 B221 and I decide to try Android 4.4 firmware B321. But it's recommended to install first B930 firmware. And actually my problem is really stupid, because I can't extract B930, but with B321 no problem to extract it. And I try on 3 laptops with Windows and Linux, which means the problem is not from me. Why I have this problem and is it have some another place from where I can download firmware B930.
