I am going to flash the rom - Pure AOSP 4.4.2 Alpha2 for my Xperia S.
My phone isn't rooted and unlocked.
I didn't flash any rom before so I want to ask questions to ensure I won't brick my phone.
I have read some tutorials about flashing rom, mainly, the article.
Questions:
a. Do I have to unlock the bootloader?
b. I have a guide to flash the rom as follows. Is it right?
-------------the guide-------------
1. backup everything
2. unlock the bootloader if necessary
3. root the phone
4. Install CWM recovery
5. download rom, kernel, google apps .zip file
6. copy the .zip file to SD card
7. enter recovery mode
8. wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvick cache
9. install rom zip from SD card
10. install google apps package from SD card
11. reboot system now
---------------------------------------
c. There are 6 .zip files in the thread as follows. What is the order to install those?
------------the file in that thread------------
Alpha1:
normal: pure_aosp_alpha1.zip
bm native: kernel system
bm loop: kernel system
Alpha2:
normal: upgrade
bm native: upgrade
bm loop: upgrade
------------------------------------------------------
Thanks!
yes a unlock bootloader is needed, otherwise you will brick your device
yes folowing the guide is recomended
and finaly bm_native or loop is for dualboot,
install normalure_aosp_alpha1.zip
then normal:upgrade
any other questions ask!!

Do you mean that it is unnecessary to flash bm native and bm loop into the phone?
yes

Hello,
I have tested a ROM, it worked very well, however I want to return to a original firmware. I have the file but How can I installed since everytime I restart my phone it restart on TWRP mode, how can I make my phone recognize the firmware I want to install?
Thanks,

I would advise B125.
KK Beta is cool, too, but notification-managing apps don't work, and it drains your battery faster

lootjelo,
I have removed the TWRP successfully, however when I try to install firmware B125 it keeps giving me a Fail message.
I have tried updating using configuration->update... etc, and also trying to install it using power+vol up/down method, but keeps me saying Fail.
I have tried B111 and B125, so I believe is not the firmware.

It is on internal storage, however, Im trying to install b125 which i guess is jelly bean and I have 4.4.2 kit kat, could this be the problem?
if is not, then I dont know what could be since dload is on internal storage.

That could be your problem. Rename the dload folder on your external sd to whatever you'd like. Just make sure there's only one dload folder.

Actually I think that you need to return to stock recovery and then use the update.app.
To do that you must be familiar with adb and then follow the instructions given at the [INDEX] Club Huawei Meets XDA [ News / Leaks / Mods / ROMS ] .
As it states:
Download Stock_Recovery_B118.zip
Put your device in fastboot mode ( > adb reboot bootloader )
Flash recovery via fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img )
Reboot via fastboot ( fastboot reboot )
If you need more help regarding the above procedure read very very carefully this and follow the given steps.
In any case you must bare in mind that since you have KK rom you have changed your recovery and probably this is the reason you cant go back to an original firmware by simple using the update.app.
Good luck

Hmm, that's odd..
Just to make things clear
1. What rom you used before?
2. What recovery are you on now (stock, TWRP, CWM) ?
Also try this. If you have made a nandroid backup before you may follow the instructions in this post from surdu to put TWRP in your p6 and restore it.

I am in ROM HYD52ROM_V7
I have removed TWRP and using Stock (i guess), the normal recovery.

Can you check it? Power off and then power on your phone while holding only the volume up (+) button. If it is stock then you shoud see the 3e recovery (if I remember correctly). If not then you haven't the stock recovery.
One more thing. Your phone works ok? I mean that it boots and the it works as it should? Because if you change the recovery, then you probably should have a bootloop with the HYD52ROM_V7 (just a guess, not sure)

It does says 3e recovery.
My phone works very well, I have no problems rebooting, calling, etc, however I´ve noticed I have connectivity issues, I can send mails, photos, MMS, SMS, BUT i cannot receive any photo or open any webpage (only using WiFi), so I want to return to the original firmware.

I am sorry but I ran out of ideas..since you have stock recovery it should work.
If you dont have a nandroid backup I really dont know any other method to tell you besides the update.app.
Okay so i had my p6 for around 3 months now, and i have rooted it flash quite a lot roms. But 2 weeks ago i flash b506, and it was OK, didn't like the rom, but kinda just, used it. Then today i wanted to install omni rom, i used stock recovery, and now it's stuck on 'huawei ascend' logo. And i can't update to any softare using the power + vol up + vol down. It just comes up with a fail, i can't flash any custom roms. Im pretty, screwed. Please help!

How could you flash Omni with stock recovery? You need TWRP with stock it won't work.

Try downloading stock B506 and load onto dload and reinstall it.
If that still doesn't work then try this, but I think you'll need to be in fastboot mode...
EDIT: Just follow instructions on my thread for the TWRP Installer.
Use my tool here to install twrp.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709607
1. Download my tool.
2. Extract.
3. Open TWRP installer. Make sure your phone is in fastboot mode.
4. Choose option 1. When it asks you which rom you use, choose 3 (skip).
5. Hold down power and vol(+) and vol (-) buttons.
6. Click wipe button in twrp. Wipe system, dalvik cache, data, cust, internal storage. Note: you will lose all your data.
7. Then go back to main menu, choose install.
8. Find your zip you put on your sd card and swipe to install.
9. Reboot and have fun with OMNI rom.

Hi !
If you already flashed B506CN, you can flash now stock recovery for B506CN , to be able to flash UPDATE.APP from/dload folder !
Put your device in bootloader mode :
> adb reboot bootloader
or
> please press and keep, at the same time : power and volume down till your device shut-down ! Now , release power button but keep pressing volume down till you see Huawei logo : Huawei Ascend ! - In this moment you are in bootloader mode, and you can flash stock recovery for B506 from here !
Good luck !

Then everything is fine I think but by the way you can't never flash a custom ROM with stock recovery you need always TWRP and this you must flash in bootloader mode the ? Are all fine fastboot sees your device so you can flash a recovery.

Yes, I saw that yesterday and put it on SD, but when I select "Install update so sd card", i go to dload folder and it's empty (yes, I checked if the UpdATE.APP is in there)
I installed recovery for b118 first and the boot.img and recovery from b506
so, my phones turns on, I can see the Huawei splashscreen. I can enter recovery as well. and my PC recognizes the phone.
My recovery wont install anything though.
So, can I flash some sort of recovery in this situation? Because I think that flashing the boot.img removed my ROM.

To revert on 4.2.2 flash first that: http://dl.vmall.com/c01l4l4a2y# via local update, after that you can flash 4.2.2 without issues again via local update.

I don't think you can use stock recovery to pick update.app from folder. You have to use 3 button power up method.
Just place update.app in dload folder on external SD card.
From the links i shared before you can get a dload/update.app that you need to put on sd card and update through the stock recovery before you try updating actual stock rom(4.2.2)

The term local update refers to update that you do from working ROM, meaning you are able to go to System updates when ROM is running and choose Local update from SD card.
In this case it has to be done by what's called forced update, 3 button power up method.
I know what you all mean and i tried many times but it wont install anything now! First I got fail, I couldnt choose a updat.app even though it was on sd.
Now it doesnt even load the whole recovery...
And I dont have a rom, when I reboot I am stuck at splash screen.
And the 3 botton method didnt work, after that i selected from sd card but no luck..
is on its way to repair centre right now..

Hello !
Sorry to tell you, but from start you did a wrong step ! First if you was on OmniROM, you must flash ONLY stock recovery for KitKat and not for JB ! From here start all issues in your device !
To avoid any issue , when you use a custom rom based KitKat and you want to downgrade to JB , first you must put your device to Stock Huawei KitKat ( doesn't matter if is beta, B506 or B507 ) ! To install Stock Huawei KitKat - you must to flash stock recovery KitKat - and than flash UPDATE.APP from /dload folder ( where UPDATE.APP is stock firmware Huawei KitKat ) !
Now you should follow the intermediate steps to be able to downgrade to JB ( by installing aditional update.app )
Anyway good luck, and I hope you can solve this issue !
Edit :
You can try this stuff :
First, use your PC with a new microSD to copy UPDATE.APP ( from Huawei KitKat ) in /dload folder !
Go here and take stock recovery for Huawei KitKat ;
Put your microSD already prepared on your device and connect USB cable! Put your device in bootloader mode ( just keep pressing power button and volume down more than 10sec ) - now you should be able to flash stock recovery in your device > fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ; and reboot your device > fastboot reboot ! Right now you can reboot in stock recovery ( adb reboot recovery or using combo key ) and start flash UPDATE.APP !

Hi Guys,
had the same issue today, but thank god i was still able to boot on a bugged omni room to copy file back and forth on my sd card.
But i still cannot find any way back to 4.2...
I tried the steps which surdu_petru write down but i still have the same error message
Checking Module Verlist...
Huawei SD card update fail.
Maybe i made a mistake but these were the steps that i tried:
I`m on the Omni Rom 4.4.2 right now with trwp 2.7.0.0
1. i prepared a microsd with the dload folder of the stock b506 from the huawei site
2. i flashed the stock recovery (B506) from THAT post
3. rebooted the phone and pressed volume plus and minus
4. and then the error message appeard
Maybe someone can explain me step by step how the downgrade works, would like to see the b125 stock on my phone
Thank you!
Sorry for my bad english

You should perform an intermediate step by installing a small update.app before to be able to downgrade to JB ! Solution a few posts above (try to read them all to see what you missed).
u mean that dload from that chinese download site? i tried to flash this with the same method like the stock B506 but it also fails.

Since you have working ROM, try to flash that small update.app with normal update process via System updates-Update from SD card, if 3 button method fails.
what i tried:
1. omnirom 4.4.2 with trwp 2.7.0.0 -> flash kitkat stock recovery -> flash Kitkat b506 -> failed
2. modified b506 custom rom with trwp 2.7.0.0 -> flash kitkat stock recovery -> flash that small update app from this chinese site -> failed
3. modified b506 custom rom with trwp 2.7.0.0 -> flash kitkat stock recovery -> flash stock b125 -> failed
4. omnirom 4.4.2 with trwp 2.7.0.0 -> flash b118 stock recovery -> reboot-> phone keeps vibrating and nothing works until i reflash trwp or kitkat stock
failed = Checking Module Verlist... Huawei SD card update fail

You should try to wipe cache , data and dalvik-cache ( on twrp ) , than flash stock recovery in this way :
Reboot -> Bootloader ;
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
press combo key to boot on stock recovery ;

Checking Module Verlist...
Huawei SD card update fail
I tried several recoveries and firmwares, no luck.
then in one thread I saw that I have to flash boot.img and then recovery,img. done. and now my phone is stuck at splash screen.
I can enter recovery but it wont install anything.

I had the same.
I put it in dload that: http://dl.vmall.com/c01l4l4a2y# via local update, after that you can flash 4.2.2 without issues again via local update.
Another link for the download in case it is slow from the first one https://mega.co.nz/#!9oEHUTiR!uVKEq6...QZ5yrnedx4rug4
I managed to get back to 4.2.2
Now I installed 4.2.2 b610 vodafone dload method.
Boot and recovery are 4.2.2? or have something old? How can I check?
So i tried to wipe cache, data and dalvik cache on twrp 2.7.0.0 and rebooted into bootloader and flashed the stock KK recovery from the thread.
Then i booted my phone up into the stock recovery and it tried to flash the B506 dload with the same error.
I also tried to flash the small update.app without success
My Huawei p6 is stuck at Huawei Ascend Logo screen or in TWRP menu.
Here is the history :
-From the stock Firmware, its been updated to B132 > B512 > B708
-TWRP installed and rooted.
-SD card partitioned and used Link2sd.
- Phone was working quite OKEY.
What Happened :
- I was fumbling with the phone, and accidently I used TWRP Advanced wipe (data, dalvik cache, system)
Now whats happening :
- Phone stuck at Huawei Ascend Logo screen
- If i press vol+ + vol - +power buttons, it goes to TWRP menu.
- in the TWRP menu, it shows NO OS INSTALLED at various places.
What I tried :
- I put the B708 zip file to SD card and tried flashing from TWRP.
md5 file not found, failed installing zip. FAILED.
- I tried B512 zip file too. same result.
Now the phone is always ON, in the Huawei Ascend Logo screen.
Note :
- I am not an expert user.
- The phone is not getting detected in windows.
How shall I get back to the B708 OS or atleast the stock firmware ?

Are the files that you putting on sd card official update files or custom ones? Twrp csn only flash custom ones for the official you need stock recovery.

Thanks for the support Tileeq.
The ROM file is
" B708_Repack_NeoArnet.V3". The one I used to update to kitkat 4.4.2, got from the XDA forum itself.

You cannot use TWRP to flash neoarnet's rom. It is an update.app file, so you need to flash the stock recovery onto your device, and then create a dload folder in the root of your SD card, and place the update.app file into the dload folder.
Do a local update using the Updater application.

Okey, That was quite an useful Info.
But How do I go back to Stock recovery ?
Updater Application is within the stock recovery I guess.. ?

No, the updater app is on your home screen.
It might be called System Update, or similar, if you're not on Emui 3.0.
How did you install TWRP? The process is the same, except you need the stock recovery. I can't give a detailed description now, but there are many guides explaining the process.
i got the same problem, my phone ran out of battery and then put it to charge and got stuck on the android logo, i cant install any rom, it was updated to kk with emui 3.0, i put the dload folder on the sd card root and when i try to open it it only appears ../, and if i put the boot.img on the sd card root it tries to install the os but tells me e: signature verification failed and stop installing

I think I missed to tell you that, it seems the phone got no OS now. Its not going further the Huawei Ascend Logo screen at Startup. Then how shall i run the updater ? I am confused.
Or are you telling me that I should install the STOCK RECOVERY just like I did TWRP ?
Wont it be easier if I find a TWRP compatible ROM ZIP (kk, emui 3.0 ) ?

Yep, you did. And yes, I meant that you can install the stock recovery the same way you installed TWRP (using fastboot commands).
I just assumed since you already had that firmware, that you'd want to update to that, but yes, it will be easier to just install a ROM that that you can flash through TWRP.
Let me know how it goes.

Using TWRP and the rom zip file.
It was a success.
But now there is no network !!!!! No sim inserted !!!
