Can you tell us how did you flashed custom kernel via fastboot flash boot boot.img ? If you unpack and repack the boot.img can you flash it ?

"kernel version 3.0.8-00831-ga174949" Is this a kernel in boot.img of stock P6 rom ?

@ surdu_petru : Yes , if the bootloader is not locked you can flash custom boot.img. Maybe I am wrong , but as I know there is no firmware for mate with unlocked bootloader (tried B907 , B904sp2). My phone is secure boot and bootloader locked.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Ok, let me explain !

On locked firmware, you are not able to flash even stock kernel signed by Huawei !

> fastboot flash boot boot.img

- will end with an error ...

On unlocked firmware, you are able to flash stock kernel & also custom kernel/recovery ! ( in this case recovery will re-write recovery partition )

> fastboot flash boot boot.img

......

OKAY

an successfully flashed will be finished with OKAY !

Now , you can test in your device from each firmware :

- extract kernel ( boot.img ) , and try to flash by fasboot !

- for extract stock kernel you can use :

# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/boot.img !

To copy boot.img on your PC :

> adb pull /sdcard/boot.img !

Right now you can test by fastboot !

Good luck !

Edit :

Are you sure, that bootloader is locked ?

What you see after this command :

> fastboot oem get-bootinfo ?

Here is in my P6 device :
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] acbka:
kernel version 3.0.8-00831-ga174949 - firmware b122

as I was able to do it :

1 - unpack EMUI2.3V100R001C00B014SP01EDGE-U00-Beta and flash ( ham b907 )

Spoiler content hidden.

phone bootloop

2 - copy sdcard EMUI2.3V100R001C00B014SP01EDGE-U00-Beta dload/updata.app and install 3 buttons

3 - instal twrp 2.6.3.5 via usb fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img

3 - instal b122

Spoiler content hidden.

4- install stock recovery
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] joe.stone:
I am not sure is this a limitation of secureboot or the locked bootloader or both.This with the official B221 firmware , but with B907 , B904sp2 firmware are the same.. I know my phone this state let me flash only huawei stock boot.img (even if it is for P6) . .I know for P6 there are firmware packages with unlocked bootloader , but as I know there is no such firmware for mate.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] joe.stone:
Thanks ,

If I am right , You flashed a complete P6 firmware with dload(3button) to a Mate. EMUI2.3V100R001C00B014SP01EDGE-U00-Beta firmware is the leaked KitKat firmware for P6. It could be dangerous as a small difference in modem firmware can brick the device. Flashing boot, system ,cust , data with fastboot can cause only boot failure , while lower level firmware parts (amss.mbn on QC devices) can brick the phone and can be repaired only with jtag or by replacing the motherboard.

Could you please tell us how did u open the bootloader?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Hi guys.

Haa..last time i got a soft brick and manage to recover it after many efforts. One of our member here did too but manage to help him as we have the same problem.

......

Now the same thing happen but its different, where my HAM can turn on. I press power button, did same with vol buttons but all i have is a vibrate response and stopped just there, no boot or what so ever.

......

Before i send to service, maybe some ideas from friends here.

Its all went well before i tried flashing the p6 rom. My mistake was doing it in windows 8 and after flashing it, it stuck on huawei logo. Then i turn it off. When trying to turn it on its started the problem.

I think its bricked but still hoping if there are ways here.

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gabrielvl:
Try this.

Send it to my adress and I will tell you after i fix it how it works.

Please send it with all accessories and box.

:D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Okay, i'll put it in a bottle & throw it in the sea. See if it reaches you..:D:D

Will look forward for these few days if theres help. Hopefully i dont need to send it to service ctr, too far and takes months to reach me back..

i tried the fte9 emui b118 sp4 ( [ROM] [P6] Huawei P6 Full Customize Rom SP4 [Updated 7-11-13][Multilang][B118]) by husen4u.

after clicking the flash_all.bat files stated everything runs like the guides and after the ham restart it was supposed to complete so i wait around 20 minutes but it still in the huawei logo, i guess it stucks because of bad flash so i turn it off. trying to turn it on but there it goes, nothing only once vibrate and did not even bootup (totally blank).

either its hard bricked or something, but still hoping there are solution.

too far to send to service ctr.

trying to figure out with helps here before making my mind sending it to service.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gabrielvl:
OK.

Now to be serious.

First connect your phone to pc and see if adb find it.

If yes download (google it) the rom what you want to restore and original recovery. I don't know if the rom come with recovery.

After that put your rom, I think is a zip file to your adb folder. And push it.

I don't know now exactly which command you must write in command prompt, but if you don't find it before I come home I will write for you. But this is in evening.

PS I recommend to download b221, oficial
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
thanks again gab,

since i cant turn it on, it cant connect to pc. i did try it many times but seems it wont boot or turn on.

it just vibrate once when i do this,

1. just pressing power button

2. pressing both power and vol -

3. pressing all buttons

4. pressing power and vol + doesnt do anything

5. connecting to pc, no response

6. connecting to pc and pressing power (and so on repeated 1-3) also do nothing. pc did not response any connection.

evrything i tried still the ham blank, no bootup or screen on. just the one time vibrate.

now left it and wont touch or do anything with the ham for few days, see if it has response after that.

still thinking its a hard brick. what you suggest?

thanks for the help guys.:good:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] joe.stone:
Start your device in twrp recovery. Restore your backup and your phobe will work.

If you have no backup start your phone in twrp recovery.

copy the stock b221 stock rom update.app file to your sdcard into the dload folder.

download stock recovery

on your computer do adb reboot bootloader

your phone is in fastboot mode.

fastboot flash recovery b221_recovery.img

fastboot reboot

hold your vol up and vol down buttons.

The stock rom will be installed.

It is relative safe to test any recovery flashable rom (zip) not that version which need pc to install. Of course before flash process do a backup with twrp from your working system.

Rom versions which needs computer to install can overwrite sensitive parts of the firmware which can cause brick. If a rom package overwrite other partition than boot, system, data Flash only if it is exactly made for your device.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gabrielvl:
Leave it to charge for minim one our. Then try to power on.

Or open adb folder and comand prompt and write recovery, from b221, even if your phone it don't be recognized. Maybe you got Luck.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
+1

Probably its low in charge, agreed with gabrielvl to leave it on charge for some time.

Have you tried force flash with B221 in dload folder?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gabrielvl:
And one more thing, using the same method via adb, find a Boot.img and flash it, bouth recovery and Boot.img must be flash. If don't work the try with charging batery.

Ascend Mate Bootloader Unlocked

This is actually news more than just a guide. If you own an Huawei Ascend Mate and you are interested in custom ROM’s and other mods you might have noticed that Ascend Mate comes with a locked bootloader just like Ascend P6 and other Huawei smartphones. Unlocked bootloader is a requirement for most custom ROM’s and kernels because without an unlocked bootloader you are pretty much left with the stock firmwares. Some clever developers came up with ways to bootloader unlock some of the Huawei’s popular smartphones but until yesterday, there wasn’t a way to unlock the Ascend Mate’s bootloader.

XDA member “joe.stone” discovered a way to unlock the bootloader of his Ascend Mate with few easy steps and he posted the details on XDA forums and early adopters reported that they were able to bootloader unlock their Ascend Mate’s by following the steps provided by joe. You can do the same if you have some spare time and willing to take the risk if something goes wrong. You need to have the USB drivers installed first and joe has provided everything on his XDA thread which you can find at the bottom of this post.

Note that your warranty might be lost and you will have to flash the stock recovery again if you want to flash the Huawei’s official firmwares by using the update.app method. Your current firmware version doesn’t matter for unlocking the bootloader. Joe has provided all the steps to follow with download links and steps on getting back to the stock recovery with few easy steps.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] joe.stone:
Can you post the content of flash_all.bat. Check that is there any other fastboot flash lines , than fastboot flash system , fastboot flash boot, fastboot flash data , fastboot flash cust . If the modem firmware part is flashed as well I think your phone is hard bricked and the only solution is to replace the mainboard or maybe refflash with JTAG . Try to force bootloader mode ( press and hold vol down while turning on )If your computer detects the phone tell us.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] svvv:
If you have flashed modemimage.img then its difficult to recover......jus check the zip folder whether you have this img.

Always make sure when you flash other devices ROM it has only system,data,cust,boot so that if the flash goes wrong we can recover our phone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Tried force bootloader, no boot or in fastboot mode (huawei logo). I now thinks its a hard bricked.

If only i can get it there ust like last time i can recover everything, but seems now there are no ways i can bring it to boot to huawei logo or bootloader mode.

Did charge for over 2 hours just in case the battery is less than 70% but during the problem i am sure its in 87%.

Did contact huawei service ctr to book for mainboard repair/replacement.

Really grateful you guys try to help.will search for more option/help before i send it to service.

Since i press the power button for more than 20 seconds amd got a vibrate response, i think its still functional except that it cant boot and pc cant detect.

Looking forward to any suggestions.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gabrielvl:
Have you try adb flash with out confirmation of connecting?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ollden:
I don't know if it's going to help.

You can try to put update.app in the dload file and press the 3 buttons at the same time.

Once I was stuck on the huawei logo and it worked with B221 but not with B907.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Well, i have a bricked HAM finally though not feeling happy about it but its a good chance to share when something came out from this trouble. Thanks to you guys for all the help.

Since my HAM was bricked, i go on with disassembled it to see what inside. Took some pics. Will share with you all after i go back to my pc. Not much disassembling, just taking off the back plate, the frame/side frame and left only the main HAM frame with its visible flex cables, board, camera, etc. (since i know disassembling things i still dont know system function..hehe).

......

About connecting to pc and force dload, etc, i have been trying all suggestions from you guys bit its all a dissapointment as my HAM was totally bricked after all. As i said before, the only respond from it is a one vibrate when pressing the mentioned buttons. No boot, no turning on, just blank HAM.

Will sent it to service next week and before that i will try again disassemble my HAM to look further in as i found out in my first attempt, there seems to be a two silver soldered connector which is connected to the battery boardline. It looks like it can be connected with a QI Receiver patch (like galaxy s3 &4 and notes) to have a Wireless Charging ability.

Cheers.

Since you have opened the phone did you try to disconnect the battery leave it sometime reconnect battery and tried to boot into fastboot mode(Connect USB cable Hold Power+Vol down)...

3)does 4.2.2 in Huawei Ascend Matehave any bugs.

4) how is the battery life in 4.2.2

5) does b907 rom has google apps like playstore

6) i heard about the bugs of gps & fast battery drain in b907 rom
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
A989.

I think you hv been asking this questions many times before. No problem there actually, but have you tried it before?

I did reply to your pm some time ago, hope you've read it.

B907 is 4.2.2 and stable. Regardless of the battery drain, its still a great smooth rom and fast and still can bring you 24-48 hours (depends on what apps and background running). If you look for gps deep enough you might find a compatible one (i think there's some here who had found compatible gps apps).

Why dont you try B907 first for at least a week or less than tell us if you found something (bugs/etc)

I have to turn of the BT but it takes up to 40 seconds and then a popup asks me if i want bluetooth hidden or visible for others. I think because it crashed and restarted the bt service.
