[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] pommiesa:
Hi there,

I've been a bit of a tw@t and fudged my Huawei P6. I Was on South African Vodacom Stock Jelly Bean Rom, read this forum and got so excited about the world out there that i thought, why don't i try flashing a rom, i've only bricked a sgs2 and lg-g2 before... I should know what to do by now (never done a day's computer course in my life!)!

So flashed kitkat beta and then tried to flash Kit Kat... I have left the phone for about a week in the hopes I'd come back to it & it would miraculously work as I've read a lot of the forum posts on here and have a gut feeling I'm screwed so hoping one of you Huawei P6 XDA Guru's can Help. From what I remember I did this...

1) Rooted the phone with SRS Root or Root Genius

2) After a few attemps managed to install official kitkat beta from dload/update.app from external SD Card so I could then install official Chinese KiTKAT rom or HYDRO Rom.

3) Played with the kitkat beta for a while all working (bar the beta crashes etc) ( I think at that point I intalled CWMOD or TWRP)

4) It was very late, I should have gone to bed, I'd had a few beers, but no I carried on & was planning to install Hydrorom & (Mis)understood got mixed up with official chinese kit kat rom installation

5) Booted into recovery & flashed official chinense kitkat rom with GAAPS ticked to flash as well (maybe that will tell you guys if I was using CWM or TWRP!)

5.0117...c) If my memory serves me right I didn't (4am idiot/tired/few beers/rushing etc) wipe dalvic or any of that... just flashed from external sd card ZIP streight over kitkat beta (aaaarrgh!)

6) Phone is now stuck in bootloop with Huawei Ascend words first, then loading a Huawei flower logo. Goes no further, just stays on until battery flat...

7) Left phone plugged into power with screen on for a day hoping it was just taking a while to flash rom... & nothing happened

8) Tried the following but hope I'm doing them all wrong and you GURU's will have a giggle at my comlete lack of skills:

a) reboot phone - no luck​

b) hold down power & +vol & -vol -... no luck just flower logo again​

c) every combination of power and two volume buttons - no luck just flower logo​

d) putting folder dload/update.app on external sd card and using b)method to flash update - no luck just flower logo​

e) putting stock recovery.img on root of external sd card and doing b) - no luck just flower logo​

f) putting all of extracted TWRP download " TWRP_Installer_20140414 on root folder of external sd card - no luck​

g) spending 4 hours finding a "how to remove the battery from huawei P6" link and watched a russian guy remove battery on you tube. Did that as read that can reset boot loader/recovery.... no luck​

h) downloaded various versions of Android SDK Tools. Phone shows up as a "please insert sd card" in windows file manager and appears "offline" when trying to access it from command prompt ADB etc​

checked that HiSuite was stopped in Task Manager etc, reinstalled drivers etc. One problem I'm hoping you'll all say is 100% to blame for SDK Tools not working is I'm on latest update of Windows 8.1 64bit...

Edit: Read other forum... I see the red led when turning phone on as well...

Edit: Just installed propper android sdk tools not small made up file and now phone changed from showing "offline" to "unauthorised" in adb...

So, please help. :D
