Just to let you guys know, I put in a request to get your device forum added.

Now, I'm not promising anything so please don't PM me about if or when it might happen. But, I will need some info from you. Basically I need links to current development works. Root, CWM, custom roms and stock roms. The more available, the better chances.

You can PM me the links, or post them here. Use [MENTION=3887557]Moscow Desire[/MENTION] so I get notified.

Actually considering getting one, but a little cautious about locked bootloaders.

Do you know something to change the transparency settings for the navigationbar?

Install Xposed Installer>> update framework>> install xblast or xtweaks and you can do magic!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Da Phoenix:
I can't do magic, maybe I should attend Hogwarts!

Maybe i'm doing something wrong.

I go to XBlast Tools -> Navigation Bar -> I change the colour and the alpha to the most transparent state. -> Then I go back -> Then I hit the save button in the right upper corner. -> I give the back-up a name and I do a reboot.

When the phone is back on, the navigation bar is still grey, I want it transparent

ps: I don't know about the names of the settings, my phone's language is Dutch...

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Jeshurun99:
Hi Hamdimo,

I'm so grateful for your low headphone volume fix...I seriously mean it "A THOUSAND HUGS & KISSES is also LESS for the help u have done for me unknowingly...:victory::victory::victory: :) :)"

For me, the volume in my headphone was more than enough.... but when i connected HAM to my 5.1 home theatre speakers... the volume was always very less and disappointing.... but your volume fix has finally solved it... Thanks a lot Buddy...:cowboy:

I tried both the methods...but, The method 1 worked for me... the method 2 didn't work for me [So u can add this info in ur original post]

Actually now the incoming ringtone volume has also increased too much... so only i'm a bit afraid about spoiling the outer speaker.... so i reduce the ringtone volume and using it that way...

Try appending in build.prop...but be careful

For this follow the "Method 1" of Low headphone volume fix By [MENTION=4439610]hamdimo[/MENTION]

But be aware... the volume increases so much, that i fear it might spoil the external speaker..."So, Do it at your own Risk"... :good:

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] hamdimo:
I forgot one important detail i think, when editing the local.prop file, please make sure you edit the right one that works with your region, if you have a close look at the path cust/channel/weurope/prop/local.prop , you'll see WEUROPE which means West- Europe, this path isn't compatible with cust/channel/neeurope/prop/local.prop which is for devices in Northern Europe, so choose the right folder then edit the build.prop file inside it.

Pre rooted or not ??

Dear All,

I have 2gb ram model from India, already google play store installed,

I want to know whether phone is pre rooted or not ?

I installed 'simple root checker' from play store.

it says 'terminal rooted' but superuser and busybox not installed

can anybody confirm?

thanks
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] djtyres:
Doubt it but install superuser from the play store and try to install busybox
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Jeshurun99:
Hi,

from where did u buy it in india... flipkart, or from any shops directly...?

If u don't have superuser app then it is not rooted most probably ..

Also u can try installing certain apps that needs phone to be rooted like "Root Explorer, Flashlight+, etc. n see the app asks for superuser access.... if it does not ask.. u phone probably may not be rooted... :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] aa1bb2cc:
Thanks buddy...

One more help.

Newbie here with android. will there be any problem after installing superuser app and if its not working then will i be able to uninstall without any problem ? ( will it install even if phone is not pre rooted )

how would i know using superuser app that my phone is rooted.

thanks again
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] djtyres:
Yeah you can uninsall it if your not rooted. By trying to install busy box it checks for root first if you are rooted these things can both be useful if not just uninstall them. Nice thing with this phone you can always unroot easily by reflashing the firmware from memory. It reformats the phone but a clean slate.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Da Phoenix:
You could root the phone using eRoot just to be sure.

I personally thing rooting the phone is a must on every Android phone.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11700560/eroot_v1.3.4.exe

Link the HAM to the PC, choose HiSuite on your phone. Wait for it to connect. Open eRoot, press the big 'ROOT' button.

When it's done, look on the phone, the app SuperUser is now installed.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] aa1bb2cc:
Thanks buddy,

I bot it from flipkart, india at very good deal.

I saw in many forums that this phone comes with pre root. becuase originally google play store was not pre installed on 4.1.2

This one came with preloaded play store, but superuser is not installed, neither busy box.,

so not sure whether its rooted or not rooted

I will try to use eroot method posted in above thread.

Thanks for your help
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Jeshurun99:
okay buddy... for your information.... even i bought my HAM from Flipkart.. WS Retail...

if your's is also the same retailer in flipkart.. then be sure that they sell only Unrooted phones...with Google play pre-installed from Huawei.. i.e the firmware is International Stock-B112[Non-Chinese].

But firstly, I would like to u to ask urself...as u r a newbie... y do u need to root...whats the purpose of rooting for u.. first understand all the pro & cons of root...

Still the answer is YES u want to root it...then go ahead with it.. :)

We are here to support u always.. :good:

[Warning]: Please upgrade to newer firmware's before rooting.Never root with the Stock B112.

The present stable International version with google play is B221[Android 4.1.2].

And, stable chinese version without google play is B906 [Android 4.2.2] -> U need to root this to get Google play.

Enjoy with ur HAM now... :victory::victory:

hi mingonn, just use other launcher, i thought the same before i bought my phone. the stock launcher comes without homescreen auto rotation, but if you use other launcher such as nova, apex or any other launcher, it will auto rotate like you want it to be.... but for me, i love the non rotateable stock home screen...

Guys, I have a problem:

For some reason my HAM unrooted itself. Don't even know of this is even possible, but it happend. And now I ca't root it anymore.

I'm on the B221 firmware. Used Eroot 1.2 and 1.3.4. USB-debugging is enabled and drivers are installed coorectly.

Someone who can help me?

I attached some screenshots from Eroot. First I get screen 1 when I open the program and hit root, then I get screen 2. When that is finished I get screen 3. I think it's rooted after that, but if I reboot my phone it's not rooted, so I try again. But after screen 3 en press Root I get screen 4. Even after that it's not rooted and I get screen 3 again

I was one (maybe the only one) of those who formally requested the creation of a forum for Huawei P6 !

Considering that the devices are very similar (almost identical hardware), I think it would not be too difficult to rename the forum in Huawei Ascend Mate & P6 ! I'll try to see what can I do , or in the worst case maybe you can post in Huawei Ascend P6 forum !

For a long time , this was the "Forum" for HAP6 ! :D ( sure was in General ! )

On the other hand, I am very glad that you can use TWRP Recovery for P6 !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gabrielvl:
OK.

First you have to do a factory reset to your phone(but first make backup to your file what you need back). To do reset in right way go to recovery and make factory reset.

After that download eroot 1.3.3 is fully working with b221. Eroot 1.3.4 is for b905,and b906.

Install driver for HAM, go to developers options, enable usb debugging, start eroot(be shure you have unzip eroot first), after eroot has install all, connect your usb to your phone, hit root.....

Voila, your device is rooted

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
Now we have a working backup and restore recovery via trwp thanks to surdu I wonder if this is a good time to see if it's possible to work on custom roms.

The P6 is an almost identical phone to the Mate and there is a device tree at https://github.com/nolinuxnoparty/android_device_huawei_p6-uo6 which may or may not work, but could be a starting point?

We just need people with experience of compiling roms from scratch to help.

the contents of the zip file should be placed in the root of the sd?

Hi alfri,

Firstly: (Pic 1)

Create a 'dload' folder in sdcard and copy the update.zip file and then unzip the update.zip within the dload folder. Go into the update folder which has been unzip and copy the "update.app" file in the dload folder. You can also place a copy of the update.zip file in the folder (for the Incremental Update mode)

Next: (Pic 2 & 3)

Then go to Setting/ Abt Phone/ System Update/ Local Update, then select update.app (Integrated) OR update.zip (incremental), either should work fine:o.

Good Luck with your update.
