Hi!

I have a problem

Yesterday I bought a HAM, I upgraded from b105 OTA to B113.

After that, I did the root (no problem) and then I tried to update OTA to another version B221 ... the problem is that it always fails when restarted in recovery mode.

He says there has been a failure, the terminal is blocked or something similar ...

What I can do? I've tried a thousand ways, but nothing ... and I wish I could put the update.zip on the b221 that I have downloaded.

Maybe could i install the CWM recovery that is operating in P6 and mate and flash the update.zip from it?

O perhaps, is it posible to unroot the phone and finish the update via OTA?

Thankyou....
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] MP2005:
first flash full B113 and then B221.with root,no update ;)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] boldo:
But presumably I'm actually on B113 ... where I can find the full B221?

Or should I download a full B113 before?

I think these are full

Unzip the update its in HwOUC folder you only need update.app file. move it to dload folder youll create on sdcard.

Go back to system update and choose install from 'local' option.

Have your phone on over 20% battery and plugged in.

When you get to get directed to recovery mode just locate the dload folder if asked. And it should update.

Also i think it was 113 or 112 you need to have installed first to get 121

From b122 on its easier just updates from system app no messing around.

Im now on b123.

Not sure what it fixed. Or what needed fixing ha.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] boldo:
I´ve just download B221 Full...i will try to update this afternoon..

i will comment

How it work? fine? :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] nedius004:
its olmost end of the month and we stil dont have the new update 4.2.2 for our HAM
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] boldo:
I wil do it tomorrow probably...today i decided to make some tests.. battery, games...and that way i will be able to see the difference with the B221.

I´m in love with the ips screen, its wonderful to watch videos, read newspapers, taptu, flipboard... Games...some of them run very well, and others not... (like REal Racing 3).

The worst of all it´s the camera...it´s simply horrible!!!! its a completely shame of camera!

But in the end, i think it has benn a good change from my Note 2...i was looking for a big and better screen, and battery...the only thing i´m goin to miss is the camera...Games are not so importan (i usually play simple games like cut the rope. plants vs zombies, the room, perfect kick...).

See you tomorrow

I forgot!!! battery ver very welll...near 23 hours and 8 of screen...downloading large games to test, installing apps...watching videos...

The GPS also works fine, just like the NOte 2 (which was wonderful).
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
issues with graphics (corruptions/errors not performance) are fixed with B221.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
I found that Lenovo Super Camera quite good.

Now i Know you can't fix the image of a crappy phone sensor with another software underneat...

But i really think the pictures of this software are better than the standart ones.

I think the pictures with that App are, ... well okay :D better than with the standard software

i want 4.2.2 so bad ^^ too!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] boldo:
Nothing, for the moment, impossible to upgrade to B221, even with b221 full

I put the dload folder on sdcard1, went to local upgrade, but it did not work, fail again when reboot on revovery.

Finallly i did a factory reset from recovery, and now i´m trying to update by ota again (i´m no root now)

Edit.... IMPOSSIBLE! again fail...even with factory reset before....

Now it shows this:

http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=10439551&postcount=8

What can i do????

I think that it may be a problem with some system apps i removed with TB (google music, books)

Edit 2:

Finally i think it worked...

I put Dload with b221 full into sdcard 0 (no sdcard1) and reboot manually in recovery mode, now it woked!!!! i am on B221!!!!

Now we will see if battery drains in this versión (i read about that)

Now i have to make root again....

I will try lenovo camera also, thanks!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Nice that you managed to get your stubborn HAM to accept the update :highfive:

on another note the provided link you posted doesn't show the pic?

I reroutes to a forum but if you are no member there you wont se the picture :silly:

On battery for B221 i can confirm up to two days without a charge, right now i have 41% left with 18% screen Time and an overall time of

1D 4H 53 Min

which is super bonkers in my oppinion :laugh:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] boldo:
I use a SD 64gb, no problem!

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

This was the error shown

The solution....put full221 into internal sd and force recovery... if somebody has that problem...now he knows how to do it!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] boldo:
I have two doubts

1/ ¿becomes very hot mate? I see the games quickly climbs to 45-46 degrees ...

I have test with perfect kick, asphalt 8 (not compatible in google play, but if you download by other ways it works)and terminal heats a lot!!!!

Perhaps is b221 rom...i think with b113 it dindt heat so much... In normal state is at 37ºC... it´s normal?

2/ When you watch films, series... (dvdrip, screener....) do you use H/w ? or S/w decoder? because i have to choose always s/w if i want a completely fluent reproduction... if i put h/w it´s not completely fluent....(when i had galax note 2, i could use both)

thankyou
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ill-dill:
Guys google needrom huawei ascend mate, to checkout a few roms! Cheers!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
there is no difference regarding the temperature between B113 and B221 or any other rom i tested. actually it seems that B221 is a bit lower (cooloer).

temps over 40 C are quite normal for this device on GPU demanding games/apps. same observations you will make with other smartphones with similar powerfull gpus too (e.g. note 2).

i use mx player with H/W and it works perfect even with full hd mkv
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] boldo:
Thankyou.

And then, why do i need to use sw software? Perhaps my mate is defective? Its 2gb versión.

Im thinking about changing it.

Hopefully, we will also get the OTA by tomorrow!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ataa_sy:
I'm really disappointed .. I was hoping we get 4.3 :confused:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] djtyres:
They may skip 4.3 with 4.4 swinging around the corner for the nexus devices.

We can only hope they update their bootloader so that it doesn't verify the kernel on flash and start up!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
I read that the phone will receive the 4.3 in the distance future(Google it) probably 1st quarter next year.

Sure by then the 2nd model be out and we will receive fewer updates .

The 4.2 update be nice for now as it will include wireless display feature for miracast.

Also we `ll have 4.4 well before we get our own section on this damn site.

I think you have a point here.

On the firmwares. I'm perfectly happy with 4.2.2... I hope we get rid of that huawei lockscreen and get the stock screen. With media player controls. And blackjack and hookers
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
according to a person who downloaded the 4.2 he says it cant be rooted and doesnt come with playstore making it impossible to install it as a system app
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Yeah we all have to wait for the general ROM release. Because the Chinese ROM doesn't have all that jazz. Wait till 07 October if I recall correctly christiansfreeman will release his custom ROM.

But I don't know which android version lol.

Sry I'm kind of flooded with exams right know and I can't keep track of it all
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:

if General Version please share link of the same...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] beaubin:
Nice ! Thanks for sharing.

3 questions :

- Does this chinese Rom have other languages than English and Chinese?

- What's that lock screen? Default one??

- What's that little "3" on top of the clock on this http://postimg.org/image/dqwuv71ix/

Cheers.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
lock screen is part of the theme which is called taste. look in your huawei theme app on your phone.

it came preinstalled as the update default theme .i like it also

the 3 over the lock screen is just my mobile network. 'three mobile'

i installed the 'Rome' version (well it aint Italian from what i see)

id imagine its their international version...with chinese bloatware

http://translate.google.co.in/trans...dbox=0&usg=ALkJrhjorTDJkjzxTClMH6vpRlIAHC6aOQ

i actually wanted the chinese one but link from the chinese site was corrupt . the page not the file. maybe working now,

i found i got more updates alot quicker than international versions. im happy as it is now.

its 608mb but it unzips to over a 1.2gbs as the update.app so do it on your pc first much quicker.

you'll notice the rome link says iit may not work. well it clearly did.

if you get a problem from the link above here the multi link page

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
[Rome] is a translation error ^^ it means [Rom] My guess is that the google translater takes the name of the city which is Rom in German and translates it to English which is Rome still the city ^^

WHich of the ones did you download? i read the whole Thread in the german forum. They even uploaded a prerooted Rom... but takes all the fun away.

Anyways based on your pictures, the Firmware looks pretty much like the one on the P6 with B112 Firmware, but we have one more row on the Screen for apps...

maybe I try it out in the next days :highfive:

Btw: Rooting Guide is updated with current eRoot 1.3.4 :good:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
that page has changed since thismorning it didnt have link 2 and link 3 (rooted) option

i picked the first 1 with multiupload in the title.

running smooth all morning

only issue i found so far is in the motion control . the 'put phone to ear' to answer option doesnt work .

also for any noobs if you need developer option for usb debugging etc

navigate to

about phone/build number

then press it 5 times it will unlock the menu.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] TheLegend88:

The ROM is working fine and you can install GApps without Root but i noticed that the ROM doesn't have the option to hide the softkeys :crying:

Edit:The Google contacts won"t sync!Simply there is no option for google contacts to display in the contacts menu.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Just install the rom. I think we need to install the google contact sync apk or something considering that this was a chinese firmware afterall. Last time in earlier chinese firmware/rom, there will be an issue with google contact sync which in turn getting error every 3 seconds and rebooting issue. Thats for me maybe not everyone has the issues. Hopefully this new 4.2.2 rom is better. Havent root it yet.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
hi guys.

i just flash the rom and did manage to root using eroot v1.3.4. it all went well. after installing titanium backup and restore my apps and system the errors came back just like last time. now its error in android.media and few more. reset back the phone.

does anyone has the LATEST GAPPS? do share it here or in our rooting guide forum.

maybe its my mistake, i didnt restore system files that was compatible, i just press the 'OK' button. trying to do it again carefully now.

The new android 4.2.2 B905 rom is great with many tune up, but of course there maybe some slacks in it. rooting is also great and i do agree totally EROOT is the best rooting method which for now can root any huawei devices and some other brands. Nice.

Hi guys.

I manage successfully flash the new B905 Android 4.2.2 with much stability now.

Only aone thing i tried to find is the developers setting which is gone from the settings. It will come out when the usb to com is connected.

Everything else is as good as before.

Do use the links from these guys if anyone wanted the new rom. Yhe one from needrom is good enough if you didnt want to take all the trouble of rooting amd installing gapps, but if use the unrooted rom links by mixterz then must follow the guide carefully as not to get errors like process.android.media etc. Guides is already in the links of the Gapps by svvv.

Rom links from dandybq and mixterz.

Gapps links from svvv.

Navigation Bar

There is still no option to hide the navigation bar and i find this to be verry annoyng especially when i play games!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
both wrong!

there are quite many custom roms, though none of them are available on xda. but one is currently beeing developed by a user here.

and there is CWM working for the mate, though with some restricted features (no backup).

also wrong, you can remove the back, it is not solid but only a well placed cover. there are some videos how to remove it.

To setup the firmware as it should be you must find the file /data/custom.bin and see the path written in there ( open it with a text viewer ). Then replicate the same path in /cust folder.

In my case, for example, custom.bin file says "/channel/weurope" but the path in /cust directory was named /channel/cn".

I renamed the folder "cn" in "weurope" and after a factory data reset both notification panel and navigation bar options have appeard ( also notification panel option for me wasn't clickable before ) :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
+1

1. Many people are trying their best for customising HAM roms, cwm for now just some minor restriction. Backup can be done in many ways even Ham got two ways, using built in backup apps and through com by hisuite.

2. Back cover actually an abs cover. I hv open it before based in a video by a guy in xda. Its very easy and the way it looks inside, the battery is actually easy to replace coz it uses a standard connector.

Thanks a user for informing on these. Though HAM is not like other high end phones like htc and nokia and apple, i still feel its much more than that and hopefully others as well specially our HAM users here...cheers.

Could you give me some explicit instructions of you installed the rom?On needrom website they only say to hit enter but you cannot just hit enter you have to press 1 and then hit enter.I manged to install the rom but the rom wasn't rooted and gapps were not installed.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] dandyqb:
you have to factory reset first your phone, anyway i already reflashed my phone using the non rooted 4.2.2 then downloaded/flashed the latest 4.2.2 gapps, root it using eroot 1.3.4.

The Navigation Bar can be hidden, but once hidden its gone for good until you reboot. You will need to edit the build.prop to enable it, with "root" . Thks to boldo for identifying the build.prop discrepancy.

Hi.

Dont know whether this is a bug so some coacroaches in the system..:D

4 days now and i didnt hv any problems with the navigation bar. Only some few crashes with the apps i regularly use in b113-b221. First i restore from titanium but after some crashes i uninstall them and redownload from the store. Now left a few crashes (seldom).

I think because this b905 is not an official release maybe beta, some apps might not work properly. Anything else is good.

These are samples of my apps which crash seldom times:

Smartlauncher Pro

Armored Strike

Intelliscreen Pro

XDA App

Icon Finder Plus

And some more which already uninstalled. Also, i find a bit of battery hungry but its not really matters because we hv outstanding batt power in HAM.

Minor CWM Issues

yo guys?

Are you able to get a read on the external sd in the CWM ?

because my HAM refuses to read it.

Could be that i have insertet a 64GB SD and that issue was mentioned on page 20 something lol

but the really funky stuff is that i can't even acces the internal storage in CWM... which is kind of real strange

:confused:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Hi onecton.

Mine can be read, but i use 16g sd. 64g might be the issue (but thats my guess). Cant do with internal sd? Because if im not mistaken cwm can also read internal sd. What version of cwm u use?

I got the issue at first try but after i redownload (maybe the download files corrupt) i manage to install.

Or maybe syaah might have the answer..

T28@MT1-U06
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] iPWNtehNOOB:
I don't believe CWM supports 64GB MicroSD cards. I've tried it on both my Mate, Galaxy Note and my Motorola Xoom, and all of them have refused to acknowledge the card. I then insert a 32GB card and it works fine. TWRP reads 64GB cards just fine, however there is no TWRP for the Mate as far as I know.
