[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Would you make a example modified update.app, which shouldnt be flashed without this? So some brave man can use it when trying that :)

AND: Have you seen this post here in XDA?

The news had Ry09iu (author of MIUI for P6) on that now is FULLY unlocked bootloader is true and now we have the first custom recovery FULL!

Is CWM 6.0.4.5 and for now is only in Chinese.

ONLY works with the ROM B118 China, because so far is the only totally free bootloader.

The news and download:

http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?m...extra=page=1

For P6-U06 version is:

http://pan.baidu.com/s/1AFqeq Password: pwsx

I tried it and the interesting thing is that we can install the custom recovery or reinstall the original recovery that came with the phone.

Any help? could custom kernel be installed this way ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Yes, I have seen that. But I think he(Ry09iu) is on P6-U00(Telecom).

Huawei release unlocked fastboot for Telecom P6, Only for chinese users.

But we can install China B118 but I think some part of update.app not write to P6-U06(Unicom), like "unlocked bootloader".

Maybe unlocked P6-U06 ability to accept custom recovery. But not for custom boot.img like P6-U00 users.

(and maybe it can IMEI related as the method above. The manufacturer stored which IMEI shipped which country. And it is necessary to radio too. CDMA\GSM)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
MAN!!!!: DDDD

You find a B118 for UNICOM?! :D

What a nice findings!!!! Great! Congratulations! :)))
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Yea it seems so!! :D this looks very promising !!!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
I'm not want to sad bad news, but just a little search, find this:

P6-U06 International UNICOM

P6-U00 China UNICOM(maybe without GAPPS is the different with P6-U06)

P6-C00 China mobile

P6-T00 China TELECOM

The linked UNICOM is U00. :(

But it seems to be working on U06. :D

Ps.: Download is horrible... :( XD
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
The B118 which appeared on xda, is also for the U00, check if the md5 is different on that one.

Thanks tauio111!

Too early to happy...:(

Go back to the hardest way... :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
:crying: ... Should someone still test the methods in my post? Better trying than doing nothing :D

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

And... Im a little bit confused, why huawei make unlock for china and not forl international? Maybe huawei is working on it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
As in the post, 15.9 Mb custom recovery.

It's seems to be like the recovery backup from mmcblk0p11(16 777 216 byte)

So we unpack the backup add replace the files with CWM files, push back with

it can be works(or maybe am I wrong)

Of course, need to first update with update.app.(Maybe it partly unlock on U06, unlock just to write recovery partition)

For home market first. It is normally, I think.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Yes. But you see, on chinese post theres p6-u06 recovery. So would someone flash U00 b118 and try the method? I can tomorrow if theres no big change to brick :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
The international rom versions take longer to release than the chinese ones.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Only hope everythings go fine. :)

Remind!

If anything goes wrong, your recovery gone. Not able to update original update.app.

(but i think with dd you can "unbrick", because your system is not damaged. Few years ago, I'm doing the same thing on a symbian phone. Corrupt files on bootloader partition. Symbian "bootloader" is for upgrade\downgrade. Maybe called "download mode". Just staying on the firmware which I use because unable to get download mode(as this situation: recovery). :D)

But it's a theory!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Okay! One question more... How does these roms use fastboot mode to flash themselves? In example this: http://liqucn.com/phone/huawei/p6/rj/112231.wml
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
I don't know. Need to look at in. But just tomorrow. :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
It was not possible to downgrade a symbian phone without a physical JAF box, doing it with the emulated one resulted in bricking the device. Atleast for S60v5.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
You are wrong.

Samsung i8910 HD

S60V5
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
i8910 HD was slightly different from the Nokia phones.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Yes, but it's Symbian S60V5 and that happend on this phone.

Nokia is different, I know.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:

Was exploring chinese forums again.. I dont think this is any special, but heres tutorial how to install default P6-U06 recovery ( if i rode right:D) Using fastboot mode & chinese made .bat files

[ P6 Unicom version] a key to reset the official Recovery by a third party ROM upgrade to Emotion UI

Brief description of the process:
A key to reset the P6 Unicom version of the official rec → strong brush Emotion UI

First, the preparatory work
. 1 SD card, requires at least 2G free space, grid lines are not formatted;
2 for insurance purposes handset battery for more than half;
(3) Download a key to reset the P6 Unicom version of the official rec tool to your computer Download: Download P6 Unicom version rec
Download Emotion UI version 4 to your computer, download address: http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.php

Second, a key to reset the glory of official rec
1 unzip "a key to reset the P6 Unicom version of the official rec toolkit" installation kit on the computer Handset WinDriver.exe , the installation process all the way down until the finish.

[IMG]http://cn.ui.vmall.com/data/attachment/forum/201211/28/1601459xi1s82xz8naake4.jpg[/IMG]

2 mobile phone connected to the computer, run a key to reset the P6 Unicom version of the official Recovery tool update_rec.bat batch file into the brush Huawei P6 Unicom version of the official rec, this process, the phone will automatically restart.

[IMG]http://cn.ui.vmall.com/data/attachment/forum/201211/28/160145gz92c9ghghh2hg0j.jpg[/IMG]

Im again confused, would this picture be what're we searching for?

Would that method work for CM?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
I guess missing the point as in the Chinese users just keeps making it simple that one just has to install the B118 firmware and its all unlocked and that one need not do anything else.

I registered successfully using email. I didn't do the mobile registration.

After registering with email you can get access to weibo fully. But there was some email confirmation thing which didn't work and my account would be closed in one month if not done. I tried all their methods of confirmation unsuccessful and finally just contacted them on their email service. And now i don't get that confirmation message and its all fine.

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

And here is some Chinese tutorial over Display driver solution : (update: official rec brush back when bricks) wire brush or brush rec display driver problem solutions (with wire brush to save the brick tutorial
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Yea, thanks for the point :D But the question is, will the Chinese unlocked rom unlock P6-U06 same way like it unlocks their phones? And if it does / not, are we then able to run custom kernel/CM/AOSP?

And theres the tutorial you link'd,, so everyone doesnt need to login to view it :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
But why do you think there is difference between Chinese Unicom and International Unicom ? They both are P6-U06.

Ill ask riyou regarding the second part of your question.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Everytime i see a link to unicom B118 (unlocked bl) rom, it heads to C00 download, not U06. I think Chinese unicom is C00 And international U06.. :eek: Is it possible?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
The unicom is P6-U06 for both china and international. There are no two versions as far as i know. See the update log refers to it as P6-U06 : http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=240973

And also see screen shot of settings>phone with B117 china unicom here

P6-T00 is the mobile version, while the p6-C00 you refer to is the telecom version. See telecom version update log : http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=240967

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hello!

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] goce.nakov:

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lucky58:
I've installed same - or is it different - source with no problems :

http://dl.huaweinews.com/Roms/Ascend-P6/P6-U00_EmotionUI_1.6_V100R001C17B118.zip
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] goce.nakov:
It is different. That is not the China latest B118, it is international version.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] neodante:
After of read almost messages here, go on without know why don't have roms like cyanogen. :banghead:

All this is very confuse.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] goce.nakov:
Then i am confused, why on some user phones installs without problem and some users end up with bricked phones as me
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
+1

Just bricked at the moment with the linked called "working". It's from huaweinews.

No USB, no Vol+ and Vol- and Power, nothing.

Just turn off with Update OK. That's all.

Somewhere, I just see the video, how can we remove battery. Only try this at the moment... :/
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
There is no international version of the new B118 unlocked BL. There was a leaked international version B118 about a month ago, but not unlocked BL.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] goce.nakov:
I know that, i was using it and then B122 and when i tried to update to B118 unlocked ended up with brick
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Same as you! I'm on B122!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
goce.nakov

Unbrick solution? Or you send it to repair?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
In the past cases of such bricks they had to replace the hardware itself. So service center might be the only option.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] goce.nakov:
Send it to service. I am happy that is still under warranty, and they can't prove why that happened :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lucky58:
Here is a screenshot of the linked B118. Is it the new one?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Me too.

I'm just sad "hobby weekend users bricking their phones" and now, I'm just doing the same. :D

So B122 => B118 is not possible, I think.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Yes! P6-U06! I'm just bricking with U00.

You are lucky...:D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
That's the unicom version P6-U06. So the zip file name "P6-U00" must be error.

So now we are back to nothing. For some unknown reason, installing Chinese firmwares bricks the phone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Here is my theory:

P6-U06 => International UNICOM

P6-U00 => China Unicom (it's for chinese users, but able to use outside China, related to Radio)

P6-T00 => China TELECOM(only use CDMA network)

P6-C00 => China MOBILE(only use on CDMA network)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
I prefer this theory.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
And I have an answer to why someone bricking others not.

P6-U00 is the for home market(China). But it called U06 like the International one to according able to use outside China.

But the firmware is C17 not C00!

So if lucky58 getting a phone from a seller, which have direct contact in China, his phone originally made for China. But International to use everywhere.

But original U06 firmware is C00.

That's why it original C00 bricked with C17. Maybe...

Or the B122 theory... :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hello !

I already installed B118 from here without issue !

@ bukest

I'm from belgium and bought my phone in a belgium store

Did install the B118 after putting back the official B117
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Happy to see, you have luck. :)

What do you think:

Huawei made a trick. Some U00(C17) phone flashed with U06(C00) firmware and shipped to Europe.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Belgium Huawei or just a gsm shop?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lucky58:
a belgium electro store

http://www.vandenborre.be/smartphone/huawei-ascend-p6-black
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
So, I actually have no idea, why it what happend. :/

Everybody doing at own risk.

At the moment, bricking is possible to everyone with China firmware(C17), cause we don't know why happend. :(
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
This is the difference between the three versions:

Network standard:	Unicom version (WCDMA / GSM) / Mobile (TD-SCDMA/GSM) / Telecom Edition (CDMA2000/GSM)

Network Frequency:	Unicom version (WCDMA: 850/900/1700/1900/2100MHz; GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz) Mobile (TD-SCDMA: Support A band (2010 ~ 2025MHz) and F-band (1880 ~ 1920MHz); GSM : Support 900/1800/1900MHz bands) Telecom Edition (CDMA 800MHz, GSM 900/1800/1900MHz)

Data services:	Unicom version (GPRS / EDGE / WCDMA / HSPA +) mobile (TD-SCDMA: 2.8Mbit / s (downstream), 384Kbit / s (upstream); GPRS / EDGE: 192Kbit / s (downstream), 118.4Kbit / s (uplink )) Telecom Edition (EVDO: EV-DOrA)

http://www.vmall.com/product/590.html

And T00 is the mobile version while C00 is the telecom version.

The U00 seems to be just an alternate name for U06 i guess, unless as Bukest said there is some change in radio. I was wrong before and the links on huaweinews and huaweiblog is right. As even the official website lists the zipped unicom download file as U00.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

The b122 theory would be what ?:confused: Upgrading from a leaked version rather than an official b111 version can cause brick ?

Anyone got their phones bricked when upgrading from an official international or china version ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bukest:
Stupid names.... :/

C00 for China with "C17" firmware

U06 for international with "C00" firmware... :D

Huawei made life happy...:D

warea

goce.nakov and me too are on B122 before bricking. It's just another aspect.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Maybe someone would send email to info@huawei.com and ask :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
I guess the C in C00 for telelcom version comes from CDMA. While T in T00 for mobile version comes from TD-SCDMA.

I don't thing b122 in specific is the problem. Because users in the past have bricked their phones when trying to upgrade to China B117, and this was before b118, b119 or b122 was leaked.

Anyway, i guess we need moderator to clean up this thread and move into separate topic.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:

thanks for all only one question what version of CM you will do ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] neodante:
Thanks for your future cm port rom ?

One doubt, which is the rom cm on which you will base ? Maybe the last version ?

⚽⚽⚽
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
I think I will start with CM10.1 , because this build should be 90% functional !

For building CM10.2 or CM11 we need to add some stuff , and is not so easy for me ! Also we need here more dev with more knowledge in achieving this build ! As you can see , I'm not even recognized developer, but what do I know, I think CM10.1 will be ok for a daily driver !

Now we can start working on building cm, I really hope some good developers from XDA to procure this device to achieve our proposed goal !

Or why not, maybe together will managed to build this CM !

Edit :

If someone wants to deal with CM port is welcome ! ( just let me to know if you are interested and if you need some help ! )

Also go ahead with your work on the CM tree. Hopefully we will have developers to continue the development forward and will be very useful then.

:good:

I have a question, is it an easier task to develop CM or getting the Kitkat for the p6 ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
For runing KitKat CM11, we need to update kernel to 3.4 ( our kernel is 3.0.8 ) and also need source code for graphics vivante !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
So that means we would have to wait for the kitkat+emui2.0 upgrade and work over that right as the Huawei developers would be forced to upgrade kernel for the kitkat. The beta testing for Emui2.0 was still on the 3.0.8 kernel and most probably they would use the same kernel for the new huawei phones releasing this month, as they come with android 4.2.2. So the only chance of upgraded kernel would come with kitkat upgrade.

What do you think is the most pressing need for firmware development on p6 ? Getting rid of the emulator ?

Edit: Or maybe they did upgrade kernel. The G730 to be released comes with kernel 3.4.5
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Please, can you tell me why do you think , that our device run on emulator ? I'm not expert to know all :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Lol. Im not an expert at all either. This was discussed and argued about in other topics and they settled over it being an emulator.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Who can provide evidence of this ? because I'm not so sure ....

Or what it means " run on emulator" , because is not clear for me :confused:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] decomarius:
I heard it runs on qemu . It is an emulator in which u can emulate android and not sure but even other operating systems. They used an emulator because emulating android is free and legit. If they didnt use an emulator they would have needed to buy license to use android on their smartphones.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Ok, I understand, but where do you see this implementation on our device ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] hypeartist:
You don't need 3.4.x kernel to run KitKat!!! And you don't need no source code for graphics!!! (Why do you need them?) You don't even need a custom kernel to run a custom ROM!!! (zImage and some init scripts editing would be just enough).

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Oh, come on, surdu_petru!!! Stop messing your mind with that imaginary "emulator problem"!!! One have to just bring up the device tree and cherry pick needed vendor binaries!!! Then just try to freaking build something!!! :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
P6 Is really running emulator. Its called Goldfish, the same as used on computers Android SDK. The main reason for P6's low perfomance is because emulation uses much power. You cant play ps3 games on pc because pc's are not enough powerful to emulate them, as an example. If you want a proof, and explore how the emulation works go with some root explorer to your phones root directory, and there you find few init.d scripts which are made run at startup. Heres an example from init.goldfish.rc

#fake some battery state
setprop status.battery.state Slow
setprop status.battery.level 5
setprop status.battery.level_raw 50
setprop status.battery.level_scale 9
#disable some daemons the emulator doesn't want
stop dund
stop akmd
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
