HOW TO GET LINK B216 AND BATTERY ON B216 GOOD OR BAD:laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] garytsat:
+1 thanks sounds good
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
mine wont update via the system update app which it downloads goes into recovery and just fails.

also did the dload option and unzipped the files in that folder and moved the update app out and did the local update and it still fails.

just to add even if i randomly go into recovery im hit with a large FAIL print on the screen.

getting sick of it now. they really did make this impossible to do and now im constantly notified to update.

stuck on B116 and cant update to the B119
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tefunka:
I'm on B113 now but OTA is not detecting the B216 update.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Hi mixterz,

Is your mate rooted? If it is, then you cannot update with the system update.

Also, check your zip file, make sure its not corrupted sometimes during downloading it gets corrupted. Try download the zip file again.

Guys, any link for the B216 version?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] hamdimo:
Hi,

i think you and me have the same local.prop file because i don't have the lines

ro.config.hw_ascend_ringtone=false

ro.config.hw_music_dts=true

but i have this one

ro.config.hw.security_volume=11

this is my local.prop right now without any changes, i'm still happy with what Method 1 did to the sound.

the first rule when trying to mod and hack and change the system on your rooted phone is always a BACKUP, if you screw you can start over.

_maybe you did some changes to the local.prop file and damaged it

_maybe you should reset, root and flash twrp recovery, backup your whole rom and do whatever you want :)

_maybe you have a different B906 rom, who knows? the first one i flashed was awful and nothing like people here were talking about, get your hands on a clean one here

_i know method 1 makes sound coming out of the speakers way loud, why don't you just lower the volume a bit?

no matter how you wanna do it, i wish you all the luck :)

Hi

wow this thread had got long ...

Got given my HAM by Huawei whilst visiting them in china last week...initially confronted by an old Chinese version but have upgraded to D905 and I have tried CWM recovery and TWRP but not

managed to get ROM backup and restore working : is it possible to do this yet?

Another question : where is the "app menu" button that I have on my samsung phones that bring up the menus built into applications?

Its weird getting used to all the applications being on the home screens rather than "behind the scenes" in the app panel
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] svvv:

My mate is suffering from a strange problem in that I can use it for say half an hour on the net browsing via mobile data not wifi then for some unknown reason I lose the ability to access web pages in either chrome or the stock browser. It just says the page cannot be reached. I can receive texts and make calls all ok. A reboot sorts it but it reoccurs again. I have even tried a full reset but it does it again. Please can anyone advise on what's wrong as I am lost.

hi zafar.

looks like a story i encounter with my HAM few months ago. have you restore to factory settings? download the full b221 and make sure its not corrupted (i dont know how myself, but during installation i did get the error, so i keep downloading from different sources-thats provided by our friends here, till i get the good one). flash the b221 with normal recovery. before doing anything try to charge to 100%.

there are some solutions provided back in posts way back but now its more than 1500 posts, so it may take time. syaah, svvv, onecton (if he's still here), hamdino and some experts friends here has come out with many solutions. try scrolling back.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] svvv:

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

Even i remember that the download was failing bcz of corrupted file... do one thing...

y don't u upgrade to the chinese firmware B906... n then install the gapps...

Do the following steps:

1) from your present firmware... do a backup of "google playstore" & "google play services"

2) if possible don't backup other apps and never backup "the settings".... [or else the same problem will arise in the new firmware too when u restore it]

3) Download the B906 from the french forum.

4) put the dload and install from recovery [i guess u know this]

5) after install do a factory restore once... now u will observe the google play does not exist as this is a chinese firmware

6) Then using the huawei backup.... restore/install the google play store and google play services from the backup previously created.

7) if u want... u can root or else u can use it as it is without rooting too.

But if u want to hide the navigation bar... u may have to root it.:cowboy:

I guess this should solve both ur problems of failing download and 50% battery.:good:

Hi zafar,

Have you try calibrating your HAM battery? There are some battery calibration apps available in play store, do some readings on the calibration processes before you proceed. Or do the Manual calibration as it is the safest. Hope this help.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Hi lonespeaker,

Understand that you are able to go into TWRP recovery, could you give a description in the advance tab menu? Thks.

For myself, I am unable to flash the twrp recovery, as after the red led appears it hangs there.

Appreciate if you could list the steps into flashing the TWRP recovery for the benefit of our HAM community.

Many Many Thks in advance.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
No need to delete friend...

Its incredible. The ppst keeps coming with new one...see uourself. While in the first forum (homescreen), been quiet..so its good to hv 2 anyway.

:thumbup::thumbup:

T28@MT1-U06
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
Sure,

In the advanced menu there are the following options.

copy log to sd

fix permissions

partition sd card

file manager

terminal command

reload theme

adb sideload

You need to download 2 files. Either do this on the phone itself or transfer them from your computer to the sdcard.

Download CWM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2417919 (The Installer Version)

Download TWRP from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2534420

1) Run the CWM installer file (TouchRecoveryInstaller-vX_X.apk) and select 'Install Recovery'

2) Then select 'Reboot into Recovery'.

Once in CWM :

1) Select Update From External Card

2) Install TWRP_XXX.zip

Now to get into TWRP you need to do one simple thing on every boot that you want to access TWRP (for now, I am sure there will be more convenient way in future)

When your device starts you will see the Huaweu Ascend logo for a few seconds, then as it disappears you will see a green led flash, press either the volume up or down key several times (maybe around 10 or so) until you see the led flash red. sometimes it might only need a few presses.

Once the led changes to red, stop pressing and TWRP should now load.

I have tested backup and restore using the b906 rom which has worked fine.

Anyone know how to change the color scheme for the pull down notification area? I can barely read the text, don't know what they were thinking with white and grey text on a grey background. Just got my HAM so I am hoping I have just missed the setting.

4.2.2 and rooted.

Tried the 3 different themes but didn't change the notification area.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Bartcore3:
You can change that color with Xposed framework and Xblast.

But before you get your hopes up, it only changes the area under the quick settings bar. So the notification area would be black but the date & quick settings stay white..

I've changed the opacity of the notification area so that it's barely transparent.

Perhaps once someone has created or ported a custom rom to the HAM then XDA will start to take us seriously.

On that note, this evening I have managed to successfully port Surdu's BlueAndroid V2 Rom for the Huawei P6 so it works on the HAM.

I have spoken to Surdu and he is ok with me allowing others to download it so once I can get it working (wifi and google apps broke atm) then I will post a link to it.

torrent and phone hang

Hello mate!

I bought my HAM a week ago and I'm very satisfied with its performance and overall quality.

But I did encountered a little problem mainly on torrents and phone hangs. When I'm trying to download a torrent, my web browsing and appstore downloading is stopped. An error always pops out on the webpage and usually, a reboot solves this issue. Is there anyone experiencing this problem also?

And sometimes my phone hangs when I'm web browsing that I need to let my ham drain all its battery just to make it working again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :angel:

If all fails, I would suggest that you get your battery replace thru the Service Centre. Suspect your battery is defective.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Hi friends.

Looks like zafar having problems with his HAM. Likely it would be some hardware defunct, better replace it while the warranty is still valid. Are your softwares still good to go?

T28@MT1-U06
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] hamdimo:
If you still have warranty, just get it replaced. If not then you get some serious work to do.

First, try flashing something that isn't EMUI, something like MIUI, its a beta build with some minor problems (battery drain, only English and Chinese languages....) but hey... It's worth the try here http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/154635-rom-custom-miui-v369-basee-sur-la-rom-chinoise-b119/

I want to try but I m afrayd for Problems, becouse I use every day GPS, and I need it
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
So far the issues seem to be wifi and the google services+chrome not working. They are probably easily fixed which I will attempt to do once I have some spare time.

Everything else appears to work fine, but with no google services and chrome I can't use it as a daily rom as yet.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Hi lonespeaker,

Do you download the Rom and flash it directly?

Does the Rom require editing prior to flashing?

Could you kindly, pls list the steps for the process?

I personally would like to flash it and help find the fixes required for those issues you encounter.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gabrielvl:
Thanks for reply. For the moment I will wait until is everything working. Becouse I use my HAM every day heavely
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
No, don't flash a P6 rom directly, as it will most likely mess up your phone permanently.

Use the guide in this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1908008 to create your own version of of BlueAndroid for the HAM. If you do manage to get wifi and google-services working please let me know how. I won't have time to look into this until monday at earliest.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
There seems to be an asop 4.2.1 on needrom for the ascend mate. It contains a custom boot.img. I've tried to flash it using CWM but it won't flash, it aborts.

edit: the screenshots show an interface like emu one, but on youtube the interface look like pure google, so maybe it can be disabled.

There is also a flashable CWM recovery.img which appears to replace the built in recovery partition which may be required to remove the Huawei signature checks in order to flash this rom.

If anyone wants to try the link is http://www.needrom.com/mobile/ascend-mate-mt1-u06-s4ui/ but do so at your own risk.

Thanks to whoever ported the X920 rom to the Mate :)

Needless to say, if that CWM is a fully working recovery replacement then the floodgates can open to custom kernels and the like.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] hamdimo:
Another method

USING CWM

1. Charge your phone full.

2. Reboot to CWM (recovery)

3. Scroll down using volume keys and choose advanced

4. Choose wipe battery stats

5. Reboot phone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Bartcore3:
Isn't installing CWM to wipe battery stats a little overkill?

You can do that with SD Maid.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] henk_j:
My guess is that it should be done trough a adb command. To push the recovery i mean but i won't try it either until i get some detailed confimation.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
ADB is the way but I can't see anyone trying it unless they are super brave :)

When I get home I will unpack the recovery and boot images and see if they are for the HAM.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] henk_j:
Isnt there a posibility to backup the original recovery first? Although a briked phone won't be easily accesed trough adb :( so putting it back in the original state could be the problem.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
Theoretically speaking if you were to flash the recovery and if (and is a big if at the moment) it didn't mess up the partition layout and you can still boot your current ROM if cwm fails then you should be able to ADB restore your original recovery.

Maybe. Possibly. Dunno. Just an idea :)

Edit:

Now I am home I have done a little test.

First I did an 'adb reboot bootloader' to get to the bootloader, then I used the fastboot 'boot' command to try booting the recovery from the bootloader without writing it to the recovery partition first.

fastboot boot recovery.img

downloading 'boot.img' ...

OKAY [ 0.264s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: invalid command)

finished. total time: 0.267s

Edit 2:

I decided to bite the bullet and tried to flash the recovery anyway but it failed also.

FAILED (remote: flash failure, ErrNo:2)

is the error.

so I guess it's down to the person who created the rom to clue me in on how to actually flash it.
