[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
P6 was released last July. So its not really 2 years.

Firmwares are being consistently released for P6 every one or two months. The only problem is that with regards to international version firmwares, the updates are not being reached to all. The last international update was released on August, and after that, all updates were released as OTA for different specific regions and hence not everyone is able to get them. So we end up getting a leaked version of these regional firmwares.

Also need to mention that Huawei has recently released firmware even for their old phones like the Ascend D (phone released on August 2012). So they do upgrade past 1 year. But its possible the updates for older phones release slower.

On the other hand, Huawei has mentioned of some changes in their work programme after the Emui2.0 update to come, in that the firmware would be updated every 2 weeks. But don't know how many years this updates would be continued.

Well, since kitkat is coming soon for our p6, I'm pretty sure it's not sell and forget. :P

Huawei never is going to be able to compete with the big brand names with this disastrous policy of updates
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] skunk13579:
the sony for now has only released Android 4.3 for its xperia, so I do not understand all this hostility towards the huawei
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BernatBCN:
sony still be among the worst this far above huawei Updates. At least if they upgrade their high-end but even that huawei
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lootjelo:
Well, the P6 will still be one of the first few devices officially running KK. And btw, I've seen a lot of people with a P6 recently, so I think it's pretty much competing already.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bokchoi2020:
Samsung just released their kitkat a few days ago and Sony released their update just today. Both companies pushed back the original release date. I would be patient if I were you. Don't worry; since they already have the beta done, they won't just give up halfway. I'm guessing Huawei is just trying to make the rom less buggy. Like what lootjelo said, not many phones have the blessing of kitkat, yet we are one of them to come.

If you haven't yet, you can go ahead and try the leaked beta kitkat on our forums if you really want to, or maybe try out the ROMs like Omni Rom, HYD52ROM V7, or Lightning Kitkat (that are all kitkat based).
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] raolleel:
I don't know why you are so mad about huaweis updates.

My first android was a Lg GT540 .. There was one update from 1.6 -> 2.2

My secound was a HTC EVO 3D ... There was one update from 2.3 -> 4.0

Huawei released more updates than any other ...

I wont say that Huawei's updates are great ... but at least they try
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] haydeezz:
i see all the time people talking about "bugs fix" when is about an update to come.. "ohh it will fix it will so and so..." i fell like they are so disapointed of the version they runnning now and they can`t wait to get the update to resolve all the problems.. it feels a bit strage.. i mean.. whatever update or not.. when i got this phone some mouths ago .. i allready buy it for how it was in that moment.. and i`m verry happy how it is now.. so if kitkat comes.. i`m not sure how good will be or not.... but i can say one thing.. i allready have everyting i need from this phone. for a normal user .. i listen music with no damn problem i use internet with no problem.. i mean wtf..u guys talking about "oh it will open pages faster" what u expect faster? i mean u have a gay internet provider and maybe ur in a place with low signal.. even if ur damn phone run faster .. the page will open at slow speed.. from my point of fiew.. i allready got everyting what i need from a phone . it works verry good.. it is fast.. battery ok.. i go for a full day i charge it at night.. with kitkat or not what i expect from a phone i allready have.. so .. guys.. relax.. think what u need from a phone.. and allready u have phones with what u need on market.. u dont need to wait whatever update.. when u will have 4.4 u probably will say .. ohhh hope huawei will update to 4.7 cose it will run faster and faster.. then hope huawei will update to 5.5. then 10.10000.. no matter what update huawei do .. u have to limit on what u expect from a phone and buy that phone. i allraedy got this phone and satisfy all my expectasion from a phone. don`t need more ..so what u guys expect to do on 4,4 ? i bet if android company will say "ok.. there is no kitkat we take it off from market and all phone on the market will be at the max version of 4.2.. i bet all of u will say . "ohh we have the latest version we are cool.. phone works great.." but when u guys know there are some updates.. then start the panic.. ohh phone not good we need updates .. ****ing ****.. just think what u want from a phone and buy it..it`s verry easy **** all updates
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] jimbo77:
I relate to that. Think instead of a Phone you bought a Computer from any manufacturer.... When you bought it, you did it because the hardware fit your needs and you happily paid for what was inside of it (namely Windows OS). Now a new update to Windows comes, do you think the manufacturer HAVE to update your PC to the latest OS version? No right....

And if your PC doesn't fit your needs any more you just get another one and that's it.... As haydeez said you bought the phone as it was because it was the one that better fit your needs so if there is no update then you will not be missing anything. If you want a company that does incremental OS updates regularly you should go after Google and the nexus line or Apple and their IPhone line......

My 2 cents
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RicardoA:
Hi

i brought my p6 in Portugal and i dont know how to check my software version so im in doubt about to flash any rom.

Ive done root using "method 1" in this forum.

I would like to flash HYD52ROM V7 but im a bit confused since in the respective thread there is no full step by step how to flash the rom. Also im not shure wich recovery i shoul install.

Another question is, if i succeed to flash HYD52ROM V7 what happens when (if..) oficial kitkat update comes on? will i have to flash again stock rom to get kit kat update?

I have some games that runs very slow on this p6, i have a samsung galaxy tab 2 thats specs are very lower and run very more fluid those games! ive instaled GLTools to check the framerate and in galaxy tab im getting 60fps, on my p6 i got 25/40 fps. Since p6 is more powerfull i guess the low frame rate in some games are due to low optimization of our p6. This is one of the reasons i want to test HYD52ROM V7.

Can anyone confirm that 3d performance in HYD52ROM V7 or Lightning Kitkat is fixed/improved??

Would be great if anyone could answer these few questions :D

Thanks

A little bit off-topic or not.

I just found this picture about newly released G6 running 4.3. It's not so interesting, but if you look closely... you wil see that the Kernel Version updated to 3.4.0. So i guess that with 4.4.2 our P6 will get the new kernel.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
It seems to be using the MTK chipset, which doesn't mean good
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kabirjedi:
G6 Qualcomm MSM8926 i think

But P6 100% still old kernel....
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] laverdadb:
Yes, but newer than the 3.0.8! Thats something. But right now... I would be happy if they release the kitkat update. Hate this speed...

BB
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Yes. The Honor 3x and 3c which both use MTK chip also had latest 3.4 kernel. While the Huawei phones with HiSilicon chips still retain the old kernel.

i brought my p6 in portugal, i did the root (method1 in a thread of this forum), can i use the huawei beta kitkat update? if i flash it, when the final version arrives will this beta version self update or ill have to go back to stock rom? (i will not know how to do that..)

Sorry question, im not an advanced user. I road about the "bootloader locked", for what i road, i think i must unlock it to be able to install a recovery.

Should i install oficial beta kitkat or HYD52rom v7?

I think the best rom for this moment is Hyd52rom v7, but im a bit confused which steps i should folow to not brick my phone.

Can someone put a stepBYstep tutorial how to do a nandroid to my stock rom, then unlock bootloader, install a custom recovery (suporting kitkat roms) and install HYD52ROM V7? if i install HYD52ROM will i lose oficial kit kat update?

Its to many questions but would be great if someone could help... :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] heross:
Why you not won`t use B125 Stockrom? 4.2 Stock works nice for me!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RicardoA:
Heros, i dont want stock rom because batery drain is fast, gamming perfomance if bad even compared to low end mobiles. For example, playing realboxing after some gameplay minutes, frame rate drops from an average of 30 to 14fps, i think its related with temperature and bad power management... For example, frame rate is very low on game "wheres my water", and that is a basic game that not requires high hardware.

I road HyD52ROM gives better batery time and as powerfull 3d video performance. so, help on my questions would be great :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kabirjedi:

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
No information on when non-Chinese version will come.

No, kitkat does not have serious problems of battery drain. The battery on the KK beta is not as good as B125 in the sense that the KK beta has potential for better battery performance, nonetheless its quite usable enough (unless of course you are some very heavy user).

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Same here. We got the beta leaked already and used it. So there is no point in releasing an offical version with the same bugs. Its better the official version is bug free with new added or refined stuff. We clearly know Huawei did work on the kitkat update and they have conducted the third beta test which they said was the final testing. So its a matter of time they release it. Im guessing they might be going through other issues in logistics in having the update online as official.

Please help and thanks if anyone does :angel:

Oh and also how to get back to stock 4.1.2 then :eek:
[Sony Xperia M] yogesh448:
Not necessary, but if something goes wrong while flashing custom ROM, you will need that stock ROM to flash.

It is always good to have stock firmware..

for the CWM, first of all you need to unlock your bootloader.(i assume that you unlocked it.) and download cwm file and extract it on desktop then go to flashtool and conect your mobile in fastboot (use volume + key) blue light will appear.

click on flash button- fastboot- flash kernel.after finish start your mobile and start pressing volume + key..you will boot in recovery mode.

Thanks if helped
