try this, connect your phone via USB with your PC, press both power and vol - key as long as the screen goes black and the huawei logo apears again, now fastboot must work, if not, install or reinstall the huawei device driver and repeat the process, this worked for me always after bricking many times.

the picture looks like you have a stock recovery so you can unbrick if you put a stock Firmware on the external sd card ( /dload/update.app ) and restart with pressing "power" , "vol+" and "vol-" after flashing Stock you turn on debug mode and connect to PC then you can enter fastboot Mode using "adb reboot-bootloader"

in my case it was always needed to choose mass storage mode for getting adb work

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mike69:
Hello!

I had the B125 firmware on my phone with TWRP R02.1 recovery. I wanted to install the TWRP R03.1 recovery with TWRP R02.1, but after the reboot my phone died. Since then I can't enter recovery. Is there any solution or is my phone compeletely bricked? I'm afraid to delete the stock recovery.

The phone doesn't go past the boot logo when turning it on. I know I should have only done this on the B118 firmware, but I messed up.

Help me plz.

Huawei sd card update fail:(
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] jimbo77:
I've been through this a couple of times my self already...

This is what I did that has fixed my problem:

1.- Flash TWRP_03.1 from Surdu...

2.- Once you are in TWRP perform a Factory Reset

3.- Flash Original Huawei's recovery from TWRP

4.- Still in TWRP go to reboot>reboot recovery

5.- If you have the dload folder in external SD it will start doing the process of updating your phone.

6.- You'll see the message of SDCARD update fail, worry not... Just remove external SD and perform a Factory Reset from stock recovery

7.- Put the SDCARD back on the phone and boot to recovery using the 3 button combo

8.- Start the process of udpating again and this time it should succed.

9.- if by step 8 it doesn't work, try doing the whole process once again.

I've faced this issue like 3 times and every time i was able to resurrect my phone :D

EDIT: Here is the stock B118 boot and recovery that need to be flashed through TWRP

How to flash TWRP 03.1 ??
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] jimbo77:
C'mon! You are on the TWRP Thread....

Download Surdu's file and then put the phone in fastboot mode (Hold the Power Button + Volume UP(+) while you insert the USB Cable.... (It might take a couple of tries before you actually get to fastboot, if you succed the phone will be "stuck" in Huawei's logo")

Once in fastboot mode go to the folder were your adb and fastboot.exe files are, extract TWRP recovery and write the following in CMD:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -- (make sure the twrp file downloaded is named as "recovery.img")

you'll see the cmd shows succeed

then fastboot reboot

to enter twrp you'll have to do the 3 button combo process.

I don't want to spam surdu's thread, if you like we can go via PM to avoid such inconvenience to this thread...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
Here are some things to try:

1) From the stock recovery wipe data/factory reset

2) If you have a sdhc reader or another phone with sd card support, format it to fat32 and remake dload folder and put the update.app inside there

3) Try the 3 key method.

1)Connect phone to pc via usb

2)Go to download mode, it should be stuck on the Ascend logo screen.

3)Open cmd, type adb devices, if it shows up then go to 4), when it does not, try uninstalling usb drivers with USBDeView for the phone, do this while phone is disconnected. After that plug your phone into usb and reboot to download mode

4)From there flash recovery_twrp.img according to the guide in surdus twrp 3.01 thread.

Don't give up! Have two more ideas you could try - installing a ROM from PC. First is to try any Chinese custom ROM (for example KangVIP) with a .bat file. Second - there was a tool in General threads that allows to install update.app ROM from PC (haven't trywd it).

Hi,

I installed TWRP, and it works ike a charm.

I am on firmware B120.

But now i want to update to KK

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2630935

Uploaded the update.app

Do a local update.

it is found, phone reboots, but it boots into twrp?

So kk is not installed.:(

Why is twrp coming in between??
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] HSD-Pilot:
To be honest, i'm tiered of reading this Question again and again.

You flashed TWRP 3.1 on the unlocked FW. By doing that, you deleted the Stock Huawei Recovery and replaced it with TWRP. So the Custom Recovery is now running straight on your Recovery Partition.

For Crackflashers that's nothing bad, because we can always boot into Recovery, even with an complete broken System, to restore Nandroids or whatever.

But of course an Custom Recovery won't be able to flash official Updates. So now you first have to replace TWRP with the Huawei Stock Recovery, before you can use local Updates, to upgrade to KK.

That's all well explained in the OP and Surdu even linked the Stock Recovery Image for you.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hi!

Please keep and press simultaneously : power button and volume down button about 10~15 sec. - when Huawei logo is displayed, please release power button and keep pressing volume down for another 4~5 sec. Now your device should be on fastboot mode !

You can check by "fastboot devices" :

surdu@root:~$ fastboot devices
????????????	fastboot
surdu@root:~$ fastboot reboot
rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.000s

( this is in my linux machine, but on windows you need to have the correct drivers installed to be able to use fastboot ! ( you can check on control panel -> system -> device manager if you have or not issue with adb driver ! )

Good luck !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] HSD-Pilot:
Please don't take it personal, but in my opinion people should research, what they are doing and how to revert back, before they do anything. Fastboot Images and co. are well explained on xda, just look over the Boarder of the P6 Forum ;)

But just coming from HTC, and 4ext recovery and this recovery does not interfere with the boot up proces, only when you push the volume down button. My bad is to think that all recovery's work like this.

But hey it works now, and i'm on kk.

Happy flashing :D

Great to hear, you got it :thumbup:

Meanwhile I had an couple of Android Devices, and they all had their own little ways to flash stuff, so we have to get used to our actual Device.

I'll get my Note 3 on Monday and it will be my first Samsung Android (had the s8500 bada - long time ago), but thanks to xDa i already know everything about triggering KnoX, efs backup, flashing Stock FW and Custom Roms, before i even got the Phone.

It's all about research, we play around with an couple of hundred €/$ :D

Hi!

After you put device in fastboot mode , you are not able to use "adb" commands ! First you must reboot your device ( > fastboot reboot ) !

So, after this command : > fastboot devices

???????????? fastboot

You must continue with the following commands :

> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

> fastboot reboot

Here is recovery.img from KitKat release !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Superwitschi:
After this i tried to go to recovery but can`t go in it
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
If you know in what firmware you were before having these problems,because you must install the appropriate recovery.img !

If you was on KitKat , you can also try to flash the new TWRP recovery 2.6.3.5 for kitkat, to see if you are able to boot on recovery !

Good luck !

Edit :

As I can see , your device work very well, only you need to install the appropriate recovery.img !

Here recovery+boot.zip is the right boot.img and recovery.img from Huawei KitKat Beta ! It seems that the previous ( recovery.img ) was not extracted correctly, that's why not work !

> fastboot flash boot boot.img

> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

> fastboot reboot !

Now I hope you will be able to boot on stock recovery KitKat !

I have to hold the Power Button down to reboot the phone after its staying on Huawei logo for a very long time.

Whats happen , if you try using recovery-kernel from KK ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
UPDATE.APP work ONLY with stock recovery, so you cannot install by a custom recovery !

Custom rom do not include modem partition ! ( include only /system partition & /boot partition ) ! If device not boot, you can restore device from backup !

Also, you can keep this custom recovery, to flash custom rom based JB !

Good luck !

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] huggy_72:
I advice you to better understand what you are doing and search/read documentation on what you are intresting :)

adb and fastboot are tools from android-sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

here http://www.xda-developers.com/android/adb-easy-tutorial/

if you want a one click installer here you go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 I assume you are on Win machine. This installer install drivers

and executable tools and add system variable to them, so you can run adb cmd from every path on prompt, no need to navigate where adb folder locate. To flash an .img you need to specificate full path. Since you don't have working adb i assume also you don't have already unlocked bootloader on your device, MANDATARY action to flash permanent recovery. Remember that, you can brick permanently your phone flashing.

I tried this methode to free my bootloader completely without installing Chinese Firmware (I'm on B125 International).

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mart72:
the bootloader of the p6u06 never was locked. it has a secured fastboot Mode so only signed stuff can be flashed or booted. unlocking the unlocked bootloader is senseless. you still need to flash Chinese firmware to get unsecured fastboot. mostly the fastboot stays usecured when flashing european Firmware after flashing Chinese.
