Mirror
Rooting
-Enable USB Debugging & Unknown Source
-Connect to PC > Select MTP Mode (If Not Driver Select Hisuite First to Install Driver)
-Open VRoot (Chinese)

Thank you , can you tell me what changes it brings and if it is worth doing, not really noticed problems yet with b106.
Also, what's the best way to back up so I don't loose all my apps and settings etc?

Yes you can. Put the dload folder with update.app inside the SD card and start local update via update app in your phone.

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.

[Q] KitKat for Ascend P6 in the UK

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.

OK so i go on the huawei news site download the b132 then the next and this is with the update.app method right? And is worked? K I'll give it a try but thanks anyway so helpful!
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.

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?
