Hello,
I'm a new here... On Polish Forum I didnt get any some answer so Im writing here. I Hope U will help me...
= First:
I had a p6 with ROM B108 (4.2.2 J Bean) and my updater didn't saw a new updates for my Phones... I had to install B125 , later 132 (downloaded from some webs sites) and now I'm user of B520 (4.4.2 KK). Ask: Why updater didnt saw a new updates ??
= 2:
I have a B520 now, and phones works good. Question: Do exist some "the best" firmware for P6 ? software which phone works the best ??
I'm user of Huawei Ascend P6 with ROM B520 and EmUI 2.3. Phone good work's, but I have question. What is the best firmware (ROM) for p6 ??
If exist... tell my what's ROM is it ..
Thx for answer...
Btw. Sry for my english ;P
hi..
the b520 is the actual official rom/firmware for the p6 in europe and is one of the best working stable firmwares for this device..
if it works good for you then enjoy it as it is..
if you want to try some other firmwares (custom roms), then look inside the p6 section on this forum (you will find some good one)..
good luck and have fun..

Ok, thanks, but once yet...
1) Why My updater didnt saw a new updates before installing a B520 ?
&
2)When installed B520 I got some Spanish Apps's and My logo was changed when I turn a phone.
Version of ROM: P6-U06V100R001C00B520 - its recommended for Spanis or what ? From where these spanish app come ?
3) Do my Updater will find in some time a new updates or I will have to install a new updates 'on my own' ?
1) I think only Huawei can answer this one
2) Where did you download the update file from - some third-party site right, not Huawei's website?
3) As long as Huawei release them & there is no problem checking (from your side), you should be able to still receive OTA updates (i.e. checking from within your phone: Settings > Update).
Try this: check for OTA updates using the Huawei HiCare app (if you need to download & install it, search for Hicare in the Play Store or click here) - once installed, check in both these places in the app:
HiCare app > Me tab > Check for updates
HiCare app > Service tab > OS Upgrade Early Adopters
Please return to let us know if any of the above worked, which will help other users with the same issue.
Hi!
1) Hmm, its so funny and strenght...
2) I tried to download from this site dl.huaweinews but this link dont work... dont know why, I checked this on few computers and problem is the same... The website is loading... loading and loading... and later... ?
"This site is unreachable"... Check Your internet connection, Firewall and etc...
I downloaded B512 from carbontesla.com- It works. I installed any updates and when My Phone is turn on... I see a logo Huawei and later... LightBlue with logo "Moviestar" (Dont know what is this), the same was when I downloaded file from site ( huaweiblog.de When I installed B512 later I INSTALLED B520 BY MY UPDATER IN MY PHONE AND THE SAME... By turn on a phone, light blue screen with Moviestar logo... I checked it and in updater was writing.. B520 for North-Eeastern Europe... the same, light blue and logo Moviestar...
3) At my site (Huawei.pl) the updates are older like B108 or B111 - no more...
Ok, but now... What if the problem will be the same like in before installing B512 ? I explain it... What if my phone wont search a new updates ?? When I was at B112 my phones didnt searcherd a new up and I had to install (by downloaded from forums file) ...
Btw... HICARE dont search new up
Hi all,

If anyone is running a ROM more recent than those mentioned here, please reply in this thread. Also, if you can mention the source from where you downloaded it, please also add that source in your reply, and I will update this post accordingly and give you credit for finding it
This post will be updated as and when new info becomes available. In this post you will find:
ROM downloads for the Mediapad M2 8.0 Marshmallow ROMs.
Installation instructions for the ROMs
Rooting/Unrooting instructions
DPI/LCD Density change instructions
How to perform Local Updates on Marshmallow ROMs
Issues/Problems Noticed
Instructions to recover from a bad ROM install/softbrick/bootloop
Obligatory Disclaimer: I have not tested any of the ROMs mentioned below (apart from B203 and B207 on the M2-802L) because I do not have the proper device models. Also note that even though they are available for download from the Huawei hicloud site, these ROMs have not (as far as I know) been actually formally released by Huawei.
M2-801L
Note: user @omaga reports that B202 seems to contain a newer kernel and security patch than B205.
B205: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p4/s10/G506/g0/v57899/f2/full/M2-801LC100B205.zip
Thanks to user [MENTION]Caelestiel[/MENTION] for mentioning that B205 existed for M2-801L so that I could search for it - a valid download link for it was not present in my previous search.

B213: XDA user @ruggles says in a thread replythat the B213 zip posted here worked for him. But please note that this B213 download is NOT from an official Huawei server.
M2-802L
Note: My M2-802L just got an official OTA update from Huawei to B203 (I had restored my old B005 ROM from TWRP). This OTA update does have the Huawei Swype IME keyboard, though (I had lost Swype when I flashed B207 over B005). However, the kernel and security patch version in this B203 OTA update are older than the one on B207. Also, both B203 as well as B207 ( after following the update path B005 -> B203 OTA -> B207) seem to have the "3G/4G icon is always on" problem. See below.
B203: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p4/s10/G506/g0/v65143/f1/full/M2-802LC209B203.zip

3G/4G icon always on: I've confirmed that this is due to B203; the upgrade path B005->B207 does not have this issue. B005->B203, B005->B203->B207 and B005->B207->B203 all have the issue. While it appears to be alarming, no data seems to actually be going through the mobile data if Wifi is on ("Settings"->"About Tablet"->"Status" shows mobile data as disconnected); so it seems to be just be an indicator the current mobile data speeds.
Also note that flashing B207 over B203 will remove the Swype IME.

Sorry, M2 10.0 owners, I do not know what is the proper ROM numbering for the M2 10.0 Android 6.0 Marshmallow ROMs - I have found ROM B030 for the M2-A01L and ROM B020 for the M2-A01W, maybe some M2 10.0 owners can tell me if these are Marshmallow ROMs...? If anyone can confirm that the above-linked B0XX ROMs for the A01L and A01W are Marshmallow, I will update the thread accordingly.
Installation Instructions:
If you are currently rooted and/or have a custom recovery installed, you will need to go back to the Huawei official recovery to install this update. You can do this by following the instructions in my previous post here.
Download the appropriate ROM update zip from one of the above links.
Note: If you are using one of the wifi-only models - specifically the M2-801W, user @elendiir reported that you should skip this step. See post #63 in this thread. Thanks, Elendiir! Extract the contents of the zip file in the link after it has finished downloading. The contents should be something like this:
Code:
[update.zip contains]
├── META-INF
│** ├── blacklist.conf
│** ├── CERT.RSA
│** ├── CERT.SF
│** ├── com
│** │** ├── android
│** │** │** └── otacert
│** │** └── google
│** │** └── android
│** │** ├── update-binary
│** │** └── updater-script
│** └── MANIFEST.MF
└── UPDATE.APP
5 directories, 8 files
Create a folder called dload on your SD Card. You can create it on either the internal or the external SD, it doesn't matter.
Copy the entire contents of the unzipped download package into the dload folder on your SD Card, which you created above. Alternatively, you could just unzip the contents directly into the dload directory on your external/internal SD card.
Go to your phone's "Settings". There, navigate to "Updater"->"Menu"->"Local Update", select the displayed option, and allow it to install. Your phone will boot into the original OEM recovery and install the ROM, after which it should (hopefully) boot into the new ROM.
It should then connect to the Google Play Store and update the Google framework. All your settings, apps etc should still be preserved - mine were.
Local updates on Marshmallow ROMs
In the Huawei Marshmallow (Mm) ROMs, the updater app does not have the "Local Update" option anymore. So how do you do an update from the SD Card (say you want to install a different Mm ROM)?
Here's how to do local updates on Huawei Mm ROMs. I used the dialer method. If you are on one of the Wifi-only models, XDA user @elendiir has this method for performing a Local Update on Marshmallow (where the updater app does not have the "Local Update" option), especially on the Wifi-only models which don't come with a dialler app. Thanks, Elendiir!
elendiir said:
Maybe you should extent the description how to flash roms via the local update in Marshmallow for the Wifi-only models:
Tested on my M2-801-W:
Start the included calculator app
switch to landscape mode in order to enable the more advanced input mode (you will need this in order to enter the "()" as described in the next step)
enter the follwoing string: ()()2846579()() and press the = sign
you should now have entered the project menu
select number 4 for software upgrade and then sdcard upgrade
If you're on a Wifi-only model and the instructions above don't work for you, then you may need to use the HwOUC app method detailed in the link above.
Not sure if this also works on the models with SIM card - but there you can enter mostly the same sting via the dialer app: *#*#2846579#*#* as you have already described.
Cheers

Rooting/Unrooting instructions using phhusson's Superuser:
Rooting:
First install TWRP as your recovery. If in doubt, use the excellent Huawei Mediapad M2 rooting guide found on these forums.
Then grab the latest superuser.zip (from phhusson's Superuser project which is an actively-maintained fork of Koush's open-source Superuser project), and install it via the TWRP recovery.
Finally, get the "phh superuser" app from the Google Play store.
At this point, you should be successfully rooted. To check, you can install an app which requests root permissions (maybe a terminal app like Termux, firewall app like AFWall+, or file manager like MiXplorer), run it, and see if the root permission app dialog comes up and if the app successfully gets root after you give it the permission in the dialog.
Unrooting:
For this, you need to fastboot flash the BOOT.img from your ROM. This will involve you extracting the BOOT.img from the UPDATE.app of the ROM you flashed.
Make sure that you have ADB and FASTBOOT installed on your computer. You can use the 15-second ADB installer available here on XDA.
Uninstall the "PHH Superuser" app on your device using the app manager or the Google Play Store.
Unzip the ROM's zip file. If you're on Windows, you can use the excellent 7-zip tool for this. On Linux, you can just use the unzip command. After unzipping, you should have an UPDATE.APP file. This is the full ROM update image which we will use.
Extract BOOT.img from your ROM's UPDATE.APP using the Huawei Update Extractor tool (make sure to use the "Huawei Mediapad M2 (M2-802L)" profile in the Huawei Update Extractor tool) and save it somewhere on your computer's hard disk.
Boot your phone into the bootloader - this is called "fastboot mode".
If you have ADB enabled, you can use the following command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
If you don't have ADB set up, you can use the hardware keys method to enter the bootloader - first shut down the phone, and then press POWER+VOLDN simultaneously.
Of the two methods, I'd recommend the ADB method because it works every time (using the hardware keys method I had mixed success; sometimes it would boot into the bootloader and sometimes it would boot into the normal ROM.
With the USB cable connected to your phone, open up a command prompt in the directory where you extracted BOOT.img, and run the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
Reboot your computer:
Code:
fastboot reboot
And that's it, you should now be unrooted.
DPI/LCD Density Change:
If you're rooted, you can change the DPI/LCD density. If you're going to attempt this, I'd suggest making a TWRP backup first just in case your phone does not boot after changing the DPI/LCD density.
A big Thanks to [MENTION]Eagle-no1[/MENTION] for testing that a DPI/LCD Density Change to 380 and also 360 works without issues for him. The full thread is here.
To do this manually, you will find the DPI settings in /system/build.prop with these original values:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=480
hw.lcd_density=480
Simply change the above so that it looks like this:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=360
hw.lcd_density=360
and then reboot your device, and you should be good to go.
Have fun!
Issues/Problems Noticed
XDA user @guille3073 has noticed a problem with the M2-802L and 5GHz WiFi Networks set to "AC-Only" mode, and I have verified the issue. Please see this post and the one before it. The solution is to change your 5GHz WiFi band to be in "Mixed" mode or "N-Only" mode. Thanks, guille3073! If anyone else notices this issue on a different device model than the 802L, please mention it in the comments to it can be added here. Update: User @lepidas reports the same issue on the 801L as well.
Instructions to recover from a bad ROM install/softbrick/bootloop:
First, make sure that you have known good official Huawei ROM for your particular device model. Then, follow the instructions (replace all references to the ROM version with the correct ROM for your device) in this post. Note: The detailed guide for extracting and flashing specific partitions from Huawei ROMs is here. Wish you good luck in your unbricking efforts.

A big big shoutout to Team MT and XDA user [MENTION]gmanrainy[/MENTION] for the Huawei Firmware Finder tool available here on XDA - I wish I had known about this earlier when I was manually searching the Huawei servers for ROMs :silly:
Excellent thread, great work beast.in.black! that firmware tool is a great find
In my 10" current (latest) version is M2-A01WV100R001C100B007 Android 5.1.1, but update zip seems to be only 56Mb?

It might not be a full update - for example, on my 802L, B003 was a full update, but B005 was an OTA partial update and not a full system image update.

Did you try pressing the build number about 8 times in quick succession? Which ROM version are you using?
You will find the build number in "settings" -> "About tablet". Just press on the actual build number (the stuff that says "M2-801Lblabla") about 7 or 8 times quickly, and it should show a message saying that you are a developer.
I had the B205 firmware in my M2-801L, now i downloaded/and installed the B202 version and its seems to be a newer firmware version. B205 kernel is dated Jul 28 2016 and the android security patch is dated 1 july 2016, baseband is 21.600.23.00.010.
Now with the B202 firmware the kernel is dated Mon 7 Nov 2016 and the android security patch is dated 1 oct 2016, baseband 21.600.27.00.010

Oh I see! OK. It's very peculiar that you haven't got the developer access on the stock B008 ROM. Could you please post a pic of your phone's "Settings" main menu screen, the bottom section whereyou see the "About Tablet" and "Updater" settings menu items?
No OEM locking choice in B202 version, now i downgrade back B008 version and look there.

B008 version included OEM lock open option. Android is 5.1.1

The ROMs in my original post are Android 6.0, and the installation instructions should be common across phones.
Also, if you successfully installed B202, you already had Android 6.0 on your phone
You need the developer options so that you can unlock your bootloader and phone so that you can root the phone. Rooting the phone is separate from installing Android 6.0 on it - they are two separate things :cyclops:
EDIT: BTW, I apologize if the above sounds patronizing - it wasn't meant to be. I see that you have 400+ posts so you are experienced here. Maybe I didn't understand your question...?

I can install android 6, version B202 or B205, but there are no OEM Unclock options and I do not get done as rooting.
Only B008 is OEM Unlock choice.
Yes I am already a very old man (64Years) and I do not understand everything because I am Finnish and I use the Google translator.

Yes I am already a very old man (64Years) and I do not understand everything because I am Finnish and I use the Google translator..

Awesome! Now your bootloader and phone must be unlocked. This is good, because now we can root your Android 6.0 ROM too
So next steps for you:
Now you have to replace TWRP with stock recovery (need to put back the stock recovery otherwise you cannot install the Android 6 update). For this, you can flash the original RECOVERY.img from your B008 ROM. The recovery.img needs to be flashed using fastboot mode. You can extract the RECOVERY.img from B008 using the Huawei update extractor (use the "Huawei Mediapad M2 (M2-802L)" profile in the Update Extractor tool). If you have problems, let me know and I can help you with this.
Then install the Android 6 ROM
Then reinstall TWRP, and re-root the Android 6 ROM
Unfortunately all the above steps are necessary because once you flash the new Android 6 ROM, you lose root (you need to unroot the previous ROM, and also restore recovery back to original Huawei recovery).

In fact, I've released Win10 Mobile Offline Update Package V5 in China, but I've never released it in xda before.
Well... I tested OTC Updater provided by Microsoft, it will get a secret update to Windows 10 Mobile 10586.107 which is already used for my Offline Update Packages.
To download OTC Updater:

Here's the partial output log:
Code:
...
(ID): Found update: Windows Phone 8.1 Production Bundle - OS 10.0.13080.107 update for Nokia RM-1010_1003 CMC-CN based devices
(ID): 196 installable packages found
(ID): 1/196: Downloading Microsoft.MainOS.Production_Lang_sk-SK.spkg.20093217.cab
(ID): 2/196: Downloading Microsoft.MainOS.Production_Lang_ru-RU.spkg.20093216.cab

I was using Nokia Lumia 638 when testing.
I presume it will get a hidden update called "Windows Phone 8.1 Production Bundle - OS 10.0.13080.107 update for (PhoneManufacturer) (PhoneManufacturerModelName) (PhoneMobileOperatorName) based devices" to identify if the device is eligable to W10M, and the update itself provided all of the packages with extension name spkg/spku/spkr instead of cbs/cbsu/cbsr.
Right now, I collected 361 spkg/spkr/spku for the project, but far from perfect. List of packages is attached below.
What I'm going to request is:
Try to get all of the packages links of "Windows Phone 8.1 Production Bundle - OS 10.0.13080.107 update for (PhoneManufacturer) (PhoneManufacturerModelName) (PhoneMobileOperatorName) based devices".
And here's how I'm going to use a new tool with these packages as my new offline update package V6:
1. Use getdulogs command to get the device info, including it's model, codename (For example, the codename of Lumia 830 is Tesla) and packages structure.
2. Check if the phone is a cancelled prototype device, or the current OS version is supported.
3. Check if the phone is confirmed unsupported like HTC 8X, and Win 10 Mobile preinstalled device like Lumia 950.
4. Prepare required update packages according to packages structure included in the phone by copying them to a temporary directory. Remove PIN lock will no longer required, but recommended.
5. If the phone doesn't have the language you're using on PC (For example, HTC One M8 for Windows AT&T and T-Mobile don't have Chinese included), it will ask you if you want to add extra languages.
6. Push the packages in the temporary directory to your phone to execute the update procedure. Since it analyzed your phone, you needn't to worry about your default keyboard and speech if you're not using English (United States).
7. After the update procedure finished, the tool will ask you if you want to use OTC Updater to get further updates if the phone is eligable to later OS.
After V6 release, only confirmed unsupported models will get listed, which will heavily reduce the length of guide.
Hi all,

That is still a nougat rom. I think there is slightly newer version still on nougat, but several more with update to oreo.
Either way you can use HWOTA to to do FULL-OTA updates. . Having root is blocking you from taking the ota in a regular way, as of now.
This link should help you out.

Should I directly try to upgrade to BND-AL10C675CUSTC675D1B365 (8.0.0.365) from Android 7?

That is normal to have the strange file names.
Afaik , you can flash direct to that version, as long as it is always the fullota.

Since strange folder names are coming, how do I locate and install the 2.6GB file?
