Any fixes like lockscreen widgets or not? I find lockscreen widgets to be very useful so I want to know before I try it.
EDIT: Nope, it does not. Not many changes to B125 I feel, but it does have better RAM management. Consistently around 400 mb even with games. But still, reverting to OMNI ROM....

Do i really need external sd card in order to perform local update to b132

first you need to flash stock recovery after that flash kitkat beta and after flash b132

Does it have an unlocked boot loader? That would be great

No - bootloader is locked.
You can unlock it by using the command in this thread

Guys I am on b111 but update fails every time... Do i need anything more than dload/update.APP... In manual for update i see some more files but i cant find them in zip ...Any help would be appritiated

I just updated to b132 from b125. It does seem faster than the previous one but battery drain is a bit higher.. Waiting to do more tests and I will come with new info. Besides that, I haven't seen any other signifiant changes..

I have 24 hours with b132 and have to say it feels faster and smoother. at the beginning it seemed to drain the batter faster but I recalibrated the battery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration) and it does seem that it is lasting longer than before (altough it's still too early to be sure).
I highly recommend it because it's notably better in performance.

I have been able to upgrade to b125 but not to b132... I cant really find whats the cause of update fail

Awesome. I'm going to pass the manual calibration of the battery and wait for it to calibrate the "natural" way because I don't want to root my phone any more.. I saw some stability issues after rooting.. I'll report after about 1 week of use

Hi heross, I did everything like You suggested and right now my system in ascend p6 during the 30 min cannot stand up. I see only the android logo. I understand that jump to JellyBean from Kitkat could be time-consuming process, but 30 minuts? I've got b512 and download to dload folder b111 as You suggested. What should I do? Please help, 'coz I'm not so smart with this.

-Do a Factoryreset from systemmenu. -> if it dosn't help, flash again B111.
-Or search for "P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0..zip" and flash it over LocalUpdate, then flash B125 directly.

Here a link to german forum: p6_downgrade_android_4_4l

Hey, I downloaded this emui 2.0 and tansfer this file called UPDATE.app to dload on SDcard, and flashed on local update. Results? "FAILED" on "reboot mode" (or sth like that - moment, when update is on the way...). I have no idea what i should to do. Some history about my ascend p6:
I bought him when he had b102, I upgrade him to b125, then to b132, then to b510, end at least b512. After using Kitkat from 1 month I decided to cameback to JellyBean and b125. On many forums I read that it's not so simple, many users were lost notification bar or had a different problems. Because of this, i gave up for next few weeks and I thought: it's too difficult. 3 days ago I read on this forum to install b111 and that's all. Unfortunately, i lost my not. bar. Guys, I really ask you to help. It is possible to fix this without root, bootloaders, kernels etc etc???

B111 is not the most stable version of Emui 1.6 Jb 4.2.2 .. and i think the bootloader is locked on this firmware.
For downgrade use B125 or B132 for the P6-u06
B125 : http://huaweinews.com/2013/12/ascend-p6-b125-firmware/
B132 : http://huaweinews.com/2014/03/ascend-p6-b132-firmware/
The method is the same : stock recovery , update.app in sdcard\dload
The instructions are on huaweinews too look at the end.
Good Luck

Hi Skyllery, before I'll do like You suggested, look at my situation: actually, after my try to downgrade to JB, my p6 loaded on 2 try b111system version without shortcut icons on "up" notification bar (I've got only bar with hour, date and actual informations like new sms etc.) I've searched solution on forums, and because of my weak english skills I didn't understand some guy and dload extra arrow to hide "down" bar, not new not.bar with icons. I wish to come back this icons on this bar, that's all. Before my upgarde to higher versions of system I didn't have this arrow to hide bar. Now my p6 "live" normally. I did a factory reset, I wonder what to do: 1) Dload b125 or 2) b132???

It seems there are users who are experiencing issues with their devices freezing, if I understood correctly (in the Russian forum).
Just so anyone who decides to try it, does so at their own risk. [emoji106]

I'm having issues with getting the wifi to work with B520 kernel with PA ramdisk on PA beta 4 rom. Anyone successful?

I have been using this B520 update now few days, theres no freezing etc. I have just edited build.prop & SQlite modding, deleted most of Huawei apps from launcher to system manager. This update is working good ! (better than: B510,511,512,513,634..) Battery life is awesome, i can use my phone heavily whole day without charging phone.

Hope it will be good, because this summer i've tried B510, but was too laggy and slow compared to B125...

Downgrading right now to B125
B520 is faster and smoother than B510, but "big problems" are all there again.
Gmail, stock client mail, stock browser, notification bar are laggy.
Another problem is facebook/messenger chatheads or for example.. i've bought some months ago knock lock pro app for lock my phone with double tap, but can't get it work on B520
.. at least B125 has no bug, it's smooth, fast and battery life is good

I tried to edit build.prop the lines with privacymode and startupmanager in B520 to bring back the fb chatheads. But it won't save my changes. I used ES File Explorer Note Editor. It keeps giving me an error. Anyone have the same problem?

I've already updated from B512 directly to B706 without and problem, but if you can't, than try first to update to official China Firmware version B508SP02 - in the official info for B706 is said, that it is strongly recommended to update only from this version!

I'm italian and i've received B520 via OTA from B125.
If you want to update manually, it's always the same update.app on the sdcard method. There are a lot of post or thread about how to update, check the INDEX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566453 or search in the forum
However.. for me B520 was really bad (not bad as B510, but.. B125 is a lot smoother and faster too)
Third part apps can't open popup windows, missing notification until unlock the phone, background app manager not working, gmail/mail/stock browser laggy, 3g icon stucked on the status bar.. too little and annoying problems for me.
Happy with B125
(P.S. I've downgraded from B520 to B125 simply with update.app method, simply and with no problems :good

Help in upgrading from b116.

Hi I recently got a p6. So far I really like the phone nice step up from g300 . Love the look. I am still on jellybean. The firmware is b116. I think it is the UK version no updates are available? I have searched here and on other forums. Not many seem to have upgrade from this rom. Just looking for a bit of advice hopefully someone else has upgraded from this firmware.

Hi, similarly here (although I upgraded from a Y300).
Do a backup first [full backup if possible using the Android SDK. A nandroid (full image) backup may be impossible unless you root/unlock your phone & install CWM/TWRP recovery tools].
A microSD card is required.
You first need JB B132 next, which you can get from: http://huaweinews.com/2014/03/ascend-p6-b132-firmware/
Once done, you can upgrade to KK B510 from: http://huaweinews.com/2014/06/ascend-p6-b510-official/
You can stop here, if you like, but if you want the latest then carry on....
There are B512, B513, B606, B607 updates, but I went to KK B634 next, downloadable from: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=26521&version=48526
And finally KK B635 from: http://consumer.huawei.com/tr/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=29262
The B634 & B635 updates are 'Turkish' updates (with a few minor changes), but if you only install 'Part 1' of each, the default is English. So unzip & only install/flash "Update.app" in 'Part 1' folders of each.
If you need update instructions, just ask.

Thanks i will try when i get a bit of free time. Did you upgrade from b116? Read a few reviews saying kitkat roms are not worth the trouble. I was on cm11 on my g300 and liked that rom. Not rooted or installed a custom recovery on p6 yet. I'm sure i will in time though. Sticking with stock for now.

Which sites? Because KK works fine for me.
All the above are stock ROMs.

Android pit and android central. The negative reviews seem to be on the early kitkat builds. Battery Life seems to be a big negative. I'll aim to go for b635 as you suggested. Ill let you know how it goes Thanks again for the confirmation that you went from b116.
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using XDA Free mobile app

OK I'm now on b132. Seems very similar to the original rom which came on the phone. Would you recommend going to b510 or straight to b513. Both are on the supported software list as an upgrade from b132. Another question is the renaming of the zip file. The word document from the official rom does not mention anything about it. I have read on this forum others had to rename files. Which way did you upgrade? Sorry for all the questions don't want to brick my phone.
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using XDA Free mobile app

It looks like B512 came after B513 & the former (i.e. B512) is 'better' apparently - see: http://huaweinews.com/2014/08/ascend-p6-b512/
As mentioned before, I went from B510 to B634, so missed the B512 update entirely.
All files I downloaded & updated with were named UPDATE.APP, so I didn't have to rename anything.

Ok so now i am on b512. Upgrade went fine did not rename any files and all went through smoothly. Weird how some people have to mess around wit the files. Did what you suggested and as on the b512 instruction. Like the look of the new soft keys at the bottom. i was never a fan of that big grey bar.Home button seems laggy though. Ill let it settle and report back. Looks like there is a new rom b708 with emui 3.0 so might wait to see on reports from that. I doubt Huawei will go for lollipop on this pone but it would be nice.

Oh right, I didn't know there was a new update already - did a search & found it at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/development/b708-emui-3-0-root-included-t2942550
Will be updating at some point depending on the responses.
I didn't notice any home button lag with B510, so perhaps only B512 has it? But I installed a third-party launcher almost immediately anyway, so didn't have much of a play with the stock Huawei interface.
Yes, you're probably right - they won't be releasing LP for the P6.

plz help

That check is heavily dependant on where you bought the phone from, who is your service provider, etc. It kinda depends on what you want. Do you just want Kitkat? Not modified?
Also a word of advice: You wont get much help from other users, because your question is too vague. Also it seems like you didnt do any research, just made a new thread.

Thanks for ur reply.
i just want to update my phone to kitkat from 4.2.2. And i m unable to do this with the update option provided in the phone.
and also i want to do it without rooting my phone.

Like the above post says do some research the answers are all here in this forum. But basically you want to download the appropriate firmwares. First you need to update to b125 jb( you may need to go through other firmwares,). From there you can update to KitKat. I went to b512. Both are updated through update app files put in dload folder on SD card. Use the local update method worked fine for me. No rooting needed.
Have fun good luck.
