Hey,
I'm a newbie to these forums and Android, have used iOS for the last 3 years and just need some help with my
new phone. So i'm in the UK and am on the b116 firmware, Jellybean (4.2.2) and I called Huawei a couple of days ago
and they say that it (the 4.4.2 update) should come out within the next couple of weeks. Thing is this is the same thing
they said in July. That's where I need your help guys. Can someone please give me the steps to how I could
update to KitKat.
P.S. I'm also new to this topic on ROMs, TWRP, flashing, etc.
Could you please help. Thank you.

Is this how you did it?
So is this how you did it for your phone from the same firmware?
How do you flash though?
But thanks for your reply.
I was in the same boat about a month ago. There are a lot of firmwares out there. Can be very confusing. Here is what I did. I updated to b132 jb then to b512 kk. Used update app method both times through system update from SD card. I downloaded the roms from Huawei news website. Read up as much as you can. Hope it helps.

Couldn't be more grateful.
Took me a while to find where to go after b116. Not many seemed to have that firmware version.

So what should i read up on. Just the method?
The metod for updating is pretty easy as long as you dont have any data to backup or restore. Download the update file that should be named UPDATE.APP and put it in a folder named DLOAD in your sdcard. From there go to system update and select local update. It should restart the phone and do all the update on its own. After the update it will boot into system and you are ready to go. But since its recommended to go to B132 first and then to kitkat you gonna need to do this twice for both updates.

Do what the above says. There is a word document with official downloads that tells you what to do. Better to have more knowledge than just jumping in and getting it wrong. There is a thread on here somewhere that lists all official downloads. I'm sure there are links as well. Good luck.

So sorry to bother but where is this word doc. Have i missed it somehow?
And it may seem a bit forward but is there a lollipop update for the P6
No lollipop as yet. Can't see Huawei releasing it as this phone too old now. I'm sure someone will develop it for our phone after official cm12 is released. When you download official rom unzip the file and there should be two files one is the update app. And there should be a word doc as well. The word doc tells you how to update. I'll try to find a link for downloads I used. Might be later today though.
Link for jb rom
http://dl.huaweinews.com/Roms/Ascend-P6/B132.zip
Link for kk rom.
http://dl.huaweinews.com/Roms/Ascend-P6/B512.zip
There are later kk releases ie b634 but b512 working well for me.

So what about the EMUI will that also automatically update? Will it have to be separate?
If so which ones do i download and how?

Yes the EMUI updates along with the system. First download and update the B132 and then the B512.
When you update to kk 512 emui 2.3 will be installed as part of update. No need to update separately.

Hey guys, I tried it out, downloading the file and then putting the UPDATE.app on my SD card's dload folder,
did the local upgrade but then on the screen it came up with, "Copying from external source(i think) failed", tried it again, "cust ... succeeded" - not sure if useful but yh why did it fail, what am I doing wrong? I've attached the contents of my SD card below but is that what is causing the problems?
When i tried to do it, it said on the first line, "This phone is LOCK state" then goes onto say "Huawei SD card fail" if it helps.
Bootloader?

Make sure of several things:
1. Put the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder on your sd card.
2. Make sure the sd card is formatted as fat32.
3. Make sure that no USB is plugged in while you try to update.
4. Make sure that you have more than 50% battery.

Hi i need help because i have the exact same problem, and ive tried to pu it in the dload folder in the sd card and in internal memory still says sd card update fail
Guys, just a quick request.
I bought my P6 some weeks ago, got it already with the B120 firmware, installed Hyd52Rom V5 and TWRP for JB.
I think my battery is draining too fast, I can't watch more than 2 hours of some movie before dropping to 5% from 100%.
So, I came here hoping to install B125, allegedly more battery friendly, and KitKat + TWRP for KK. But the respective project pages are confusing on what I must have prior to the installations.
So, can I install B125, KitKat and TWRP on my current specs without any risk? As I said, my current specs are B120 firmware, Hyd53Rom V5 and TWRP for JB.
If so, whats is the correct order of install?
Thanks in advance.
So, no one?
Revert to stock recovery, update to kk beta using local update, flash twrp kk through adb, reboot to twrp and flash gapps

You have to get an unlocked bootloader first, which means you will have to get a Chinese firmware (B118CN, B120CN or KK Beta...). KK Beta is the safest way to go if you want to go to custom roms.

Ok, installed B125 and rooted. I was able to install CWM in order to install TWRP as it's required. Got into CWM and selected the package I downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534420.
I downloaded the 2.1 and 2.0 versions. It installs fine, but when I select reboot from CWM it says my ROM may reinstall the stock recovery and asks if I want to fix it. First time I selected "No" and there were no TWRP, only stock recovery. Second time I selected "Yes, fix it", and TWRP is still not installed, so it doesn't matter what I do, it only reboots to stock recovery...
Tried this 10 times, 5 with each of the versions.
Any ideas?

Hey There,
I've installed Pac-Man Rom on my P6 (Android 4.2.2). There are actually some bugs with this Software, so i can't see video streams on Facebook (directly stops after click on play).
I've seen there is an Update from April but i'm not able to install it. TWRP installation aborted and via GooManager the same.
What can i do to get the newest version with maybe less bugs?
Thanks a lot! Greetings
Can you tell us step-by-step what you did to update the rom?

Ive downloaded the new File manually to my Phone, rebooted to TWRP and installed it. There was an Error (I think it was something like "the signature is wrong"). So i rebooted the Phone and it stops at the Huawei Logo. No chance to repair it. I had to reinstall the older version of Pac-Man via Fastboot and (thank god) i've made a backup before installing the update, i was able to restore the phone.
Then i've tried to install the Update via GooManager. But this programm sends me to Recovery to, so i didn't try to install the new file once more.
Thats what i've tried till now. Because of the bugs in my installed Version i think it would be nice to use the new one.
Greetings and Thanks!
We don't have official Pac. See Surdu's thread in Original Development.

Sent from my P6-U06 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes i did, the same happened. I've flashed the older version immediately so that i didn't have to reinstall and restore all once more
The only explanation is that the zip is corrupted. Did it say the signature was wrong or signature verification failed?

yes it does. I redownloaded it and tried again with the same results... I think i will wait for the update to 4.4.2, hope it will be there in a few weeks... You're using it on P6 to?
I used it while I was still on JB. No problems like yours. Maybe try a different SD card ( borrow from a friend ).

Hello, I'm having some trouble with my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 for Consumer Cellular. I recently unlocked the boot loader and rooted my phone. Things seemed to be going fine but once I tried to change my system font in an app called BusyBox, my phones screen turn on then off a couple times and restarted. Since then, the phone will power on to the Consumer Cellular boot logo but shuts off shortly after. I didnt have any custom ROMs on it and I've tried doing a factory reset in the recovery menu by holding Vol Up+Power Button and it said it finished and I selected the option to reboot and the same issue occurs. It worries me because I am unable to get a new phone and I really need it to work as soon as possible but I'm not sure what to do at this point. I tried to find the UPDATE.APP file for my phone cause I read that I can put that file on my SD card and reboot and it'll reload the original OS but I cannot find it anywhere, even Huawei's site.
Trying to keep my cool about this but it's getting frustrating and I'm kinda lost.
I do have the Android SDK and ADB drivers on my computer but I'm not sure if that would help.
Any help would be much appreciated

How do I find out that information? Is it on the phone? I'm not very knowledgable about this stuff but I'm running Android 4.2.2 but in terms of the B929, I'm not sure. I've seen stuff like you mentioned but I'm unsure of what it is.
Sorry for the lack of info on my part, I tried looking for something relevant but cant find anything that fits that description.
Side note, I was able to get the recovery screen for TWRP but it looks for a zip to install but I dont have anything like that to boot it into.

At least from what I've gathered, I think thats the one for the original Mate phone.
So since I've tried to go into recovery, wiped everything on the phone and the data cache and it still doesn't go past the boot screen, is the fix probably putting the correct UPDATE.APP on my SD card, then trying to boot it from an external slot? (SD card)
I've tried multiple things but I think I used the UPDATE.APP from the original Mate.
Based on the things you asked for I browsed the web for possible firmwares and found an Ascend Mate 2 firmware but it's Kit Kat and from what I've read,. the MAte 2 is going from JB to Lollipop and skipping KK. IT's the only firmware I can find that relatively close to my phone. Should I attempt to try to boot with that firmware I found or would I absolutely need the exact firmware that the phone shipped with?
Sorry for the long mesage, just wanna make sure my facts are straight.
Definitely don't want to flash the wrong update.app
I've read that this is going to lollipop and skipping kitkat too. suspicious about that one you found.
I definitely wouldn't try it until you get advice from someone more familiar with the device.

I'll try to look around more online. So to your knowledge, booting the correct UPDATE.APP would typically solve the problem on more known devices?
And thanks again for the help, it's much appreciated
Definitely

Hi
I am wondering how I can update my P6 Ascend to Kitkat that I have seen is available. I have tried to do the update through the update on the phone but I cannot get the app to detect the files B125, B132, B510. I h8ave extracted and followed the instructions perfectly but nothing detects still
Is there another way to get the updates to work as the local Huawei does not have the 4.4.2 update ready and wont seem to for a while.

Which version are you using now? And have you tried to put update.app in dload folder in internal memory?
Other way is updating custom Rom with custom recovery.

I am currently on B119 and trying to get to B501. I will have another try with what you have suggested. I don't want to go to a custom rom just yet as I have only had the phone 4 days.
