[Q] Dload update problem

Hi guys.
At first sorry for my english im beginner.
I have problem with upgrade official firmware on my Huawei Ascend P6. Now I have B125 but I want upgrade my P6 to B506 by DLOAD way.
Everytime when I try it through recovery it freeze in Checking module FASTBOOT and it crash and it starts again. I take a video for better imagination of my problem so if you could help me text me by PM and I send you link to youtube (I cant post link here because I am new user).
Firstly I thought the problem was in package so I tryied upgrade to B132 and there was the same problem. In the January when I upgrade my phone to B125 it was done without problems. Since I take B125 update I install .zip for the choose default storage between SD and internal storage through (i cant remember exactly) Clockworkmod recovery or TWRP. I have rooted device. Please can anybody help me?

Try update pulsing volume+ - and power...

I try it for hundred times.

Can you start your phone normally or it is in a loop? Did you try to download it again? I would try that first.

Yes I can start phone normally just when I go to recovery I couldnt flash any original firmware because it always crash on the Check modul Fastboot. I try to flash recovery by fastboot and it is still doesnt work. Of course I try download it again, I try B132 too and it still doesnt work.

Are you still on TWRP/CWM? If you are, flash stock recovery first.

I have stock recovery.

Flash TWRP, flash Surdu's B506, then flash GApps

Wait a minute you can not go from kitkat to jb so fast
first you need to put this dload folder here to sd card and flash it through dload methode
after it finished installing boot your device up, delete the old dload folder that you have installed and put the b125 dload folder
Now boot into recovery mode and it should downgrade
(If This Methode dont work install the B118CN Rom through the same way "dload way" and from B118CN Rom you can go and install the B125 Internatinal Rom "dload way" too.)
With Chinese Roms you can downgrade from KK to JB through dload
Sorry form my English

So first what I need instal?

1)Do a factory reset(I dont know if that is necessary but i did it)
2)Install P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0.zip via Local Update(Extract dload folder in internal storage)
3)Install P6 B132 Official zip via Local Update (Extract dload folder in internal storage)
4)Rename the B510 zip to update zip and install direct the update zip again via Local Update(Don't extract anything from this)
5)Do a factory reset again if you have problem with batery drain or something else(Of course is optional)

Take out your sdCard, re-unpack the download you are using...sounds like it didn't unpack properly....put the update.app back in your sdCard in the dload folder, and restart your phone.
It does take a long time to boot and load but 25mins is to long. At most 10.
And don't worry, I've discovered that it's pretty difficult to brick this phone.

It happens sometimes. Just make sure you have the B132 (if that's what you want to flash back to) or the B510 (if that's where you're going) update.app in the dload folder in your sdcard and restart your phone.
Both take a while to get done so be patient. If it takes more than fifteen minutes however, restart your phone again. Make sure you have a full battery.

still having problems...
Sorry to bother you guys again, but i seem to keep failing in this normally 'simply task'...
See attachment for phone stats
So this is what i do:
1) downloaded the B510 from here: h**p://huaweinews.com/2014/06/ascend-p6-b510-official/
2) unpack the zip file (update.app, cust, meta-ing, patch, system are inside the folder)
3) I copy the update.app and paste it in dload on my external sd-card (transferring trough usb cable)
4) I'll go to the update app and click 'update from local'
5) There comes a pop up that mentions -shutting down- behind it I see a other pop-up telling -wrong- can't read the rest since it is behind the shutting down pop up...
6) applying update:
-checking sd update pkg...
-huawei sd card update fail.....
-cust copying files...
-copy cust files successed
FAIL
Does somebody know what i'm doing wrong? Would be really Thankful!!!

Well done actually!! All your steps are correct, and it's very easy actually!
You're on B111! Find B125 (Huawei news or Huaweiblog), repeat exact same steps.
Then do the same with the B510 update, you'll have no problem. And you're lucky the update REALLY rocks when you take it all the way from the original B111.
Enjoy, and let us know. One thing - I found that with B510 they remove the colour temperature slide from the settings menu.
I love my screen crystal clear and cool so I set mine on max cool and then flash B510.
So take a look at that and set to your taste beforehand. Onward!

Huawei P6-U06 Chinese Rom - HELP!

I got this Huawei from China market, it's P6-U06 and running Chinese B113SP02, I'm looking for a best way to make it International and update to B125>B132>KitKat. Problem is there is no option for local update, only OTA but it is says "device up to date" Also I got bootloader unlocked and TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed from
new and there is no root for a moment.
Please see pictures for more details

I it's actually running a custom ROM because atx is a dev team from china so. It don't look like a fake copy.

Thanks I know it's no fake. The question is how to update to official kitkat if there is no "local update" option. Also I'm not sure where to find a stock recovery to force update.app file.
Recently I've successfully installed JB 4.2.2 and it seems good http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570602. I can live with it,
but how to get official kitkat on my device?

Root your phone,download b.513 rom repacked by oxalis and flashed true twrp.
Sent from my HUAWEI P7-L07 using Tapatalk

When you want to use stock recovery than go to TWRP 2.6.3.3 for jelly bean and there should be an stock recovery for B118 this you can flash. After that you can flash the update.app for B132 and from there you can flash B512 which is the newest international firmware, if you want Chinese firmware you can update to B508.

thanks guys I will try both ways and will report

That's weird. I've flashed B118 stock recovery, full wiped and forced update.app but failed, I've tried B125 and B132. Update.app has been placed in my sd memory card /dload/. For now I'm on JB custom rom with stock recovery.
Maybe because I'm on custom rom based on B120, I have no idea

SOLVED
To any one having same problem as me. Flash B118 Stock Recovery (via bootloader and fastboot commands) Download P6 Unicom EMUI2.0 from here http://dl.vmall.com/c01l4l4a2y#, unpack and copy dload folder to your memory card and install from "locale update" or force update from recovery by pressing power+volume-volume when phone is off. Next, download B132 International and make update the same way as before (update.app in dload folder). Last step, download B512 official international kitkat and again unzip and use "local update". Just remember to delete old update.app in dload folder. If you experiencing any issues, just do factory reset for fresh install. As my phone is P6-U06, I don't know if it will works for others.
Just please notice: after B132 update I've had message "android process media has stopped" and had to factory reset before update to B512 KK.
so best Idea make a backup of all your important things before you do anything.
I hope it will help to somebody else.

Hi.
Sorry to bump this, but, Osstis, how did you get your bootloader unlocked? Is it necessary to have it unlocked in order install another firmware via local update? Mine is locked, I checked. I'm running a Chinese firmware (B508) and Google Play Store force closes everytime I open it, I've tried almost everything I could find online to get it fixed but nothing works.
I want to install B512 on my P6, too. I understand that I need to install a B1xx firmware first, but I'm not sure if I need to unlock the bootloader to do it. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. I rooted my phone through the one-click methods found online, those software say my phone is rooted but the app Root Checker Basic says its not, how can I be sure?. No custom recovery installed.
Thanks.

try to get your phone in bootloader mode via adb (adb reboot bootloader)..
there type "fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" (16*U)..
this worked for me (coming from intl b125 locked)..

If you are running B508 then tou should alredy have unlocked bootloader and you can install the B512 without a problem.

Does that make any difference?

no..i dont think so..
but i think you missed to load the bootloader at first with the cmd "adb reboot bootloader"..
then "fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
this is what i did with the b125 when i got my phone..

Isn't "adb reboot bootloader" simply the command to boot into bootloader? That's the first command I entered. If hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to enter "fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU". Would I? I might be wrong

Need help ASAP

I am spending 2 days to rescure my phone, because I am stucked in Stock recovery without ROM and "Huawei SD card update fail"... I would be really happy any help, because it is useless at this moment. Also I want to know how can I put it in fastboot?

Guide for fastboot is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636231
Updates will not work if you extracted directly from internal to sd card. May work if you put the .zip or .rar on your sd card, and then extract it and update the normal way. Not 100% sure about that though! Good luck :fingers-crossed:

When I am in recovery and type adb devices command there aren't any devices showing, so I really have no idea what to do.

Since you have stock recovery maybe you should try updating from a sd card, bevause if had situations when that helps.

I think that B510 I'm 95% sure, oR maby B506
I wanted B634 but now I don't care I just want my phone working

the easiest way is that you reflash the b510..then do a factory reset and then flash through force update method the b634..(when you have the stock recovery - shouldnt matter which Version as long as it is a kitkat one :b510 -b513 or cn version b508 or lower).
after flashing do a factory reset again and then prepare your phone as you like..

How can I reflash B510? I don't have any rom installed, and B510 is in zip, so how can I flash zip with stock recovery? Also there is always Sd card update fail and I don't know why...

Try to get the stock recovery from the other firmwares B511, B512, B513. I had an issue that the update failed on the B512 with B510 stock recovery, flashed B512 recovery and it worked perfectly.
