I'm in Kenya.

They've just sent me the update OTA

I registered but I'm still quite surprised.

I had been on the original B111 updated to international 125 via dload method.

Takes ages to come through OTA though, but thought you'd find this interesting
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kamphoz:
Listen, b510 is not the same as the others! B510 is a ZIP not .app that means it not meant to be putted in dload, you should put it on the sd card and then, rename the update.app you have in your dload, so it will fail updating and giving you the stock recovery where you can flash zips, then pick b510. Thats why i can't make b510 able to flash, because it's already able to be flashed!

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

What do you mean by it take ages? Like it took long time to update? Do you have a custom recovery now?

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

Also if anyone have b125 installed and twrp then you can make a backup and then upload it, then we can all flash it and then we don't need to use the update.app! Would be nice!

Have a good day out there!

Shouldn't be needed mate! Maybe the update.app you downloaded was broken?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blueIBI:
hey

i know that the b510 is already flashable..it was just a try i read in another thread belonging to p6..

but it fails at the verifying process..so that means some settings i made (via app or build.prop) must lead to that fail i think..
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] :
Flash stock recovery. Install B125 update.app via volume up + volume down + power button. After you have B125, turn on your phone, follow the setup guide. Do not root the device. Now put update.zip with B510 ROM in dload folder on your sdcard and update via local method, from Settings.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kamphoz:
Well, if i remember right, there were a trick, were if you removed your sdcard then cleared data putted the sd card back it would work. Dunno if its true.

Good luck mate.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blueIBI:
i did so..

but just to be on the right side..i have:

stock recovery (android system recovery <3e>) (from b118 - from a former install i had to go to this recovery - also from this forum)

stock b125 from a thread in this forum / alternatively i have the one from huaweiblog.de

i have the update.zip from here

maybe the sdcard is too big? (16GB)

did a full wipe data/factory reset

no root

tried to upgrade to b132 again..verify fail..(failed to verify whole-file signature)

also with b510..verify fail..

i'm frustrated..

what am i doing wrong??? :crying:

edith:

for sure i put the update.zip on sdcard in the dload folder!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kolembo:
Hey, that's Good info about the OTA update.

What took long was actually DOWNLOADING it, not the updating. I'm on broadband and it's still just creeping along... 55%...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kamphoz:
Mate, when you have installed the update, would you please do a twrp backup and upload it? This would make us other able to install it without going to b125 first!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kolembo:
Let me actually get it done first... Creeping I tell ya! But moving all the same.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
Have you tried updating from your internal memory?

Or try formatting your SD card, then put the dload folder back on your freshly formatted sd card, then try again.

sure i tried..same as the other..

i have now updated to the b125 from huaweiblog.de..but still the same..tried also a smaller sdcard (4GB) but no succes (formatted..created dload..put update.zip in dload..update via settings/about phone/system update/local..)

that's going to make me crazy..i can't remember how i upgraded to b132..because there i have now the same issue..verifying fails..though bootloader is unlock state..the phone itself says that its securephone state is lock (???)..

Guys is there a touch delay in B510? Because i feel a touch delay (especially when writing) since first versions of roms.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] :
There is no such issue. Restart your phone, install a clear cache app, or make a clean install of the ROM.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] OFFlee:
Actually there is :( i tried everyway to fix it but no luck. The delay is not too much but i can feel it and its much worse then other android devices. The reviews see that too there is 255 ms delay on ascend p6. But i was using Huawei Ideos x5 before and there is the same lag on it. But with different roms it has gone. So i hope in there is no delay on new international kitkat. Because its really annoying.

Quote from a review:

To test the persistence , the Ascend P6 shows a large touch delay 255 ms. This test can only be applied to the interface navigation menus and offices of the OS. A "good " latency ( 75 ms for the iPhone 5 ) has a sense of fluidity, high reactivity in passing from one page to another . In contrast, high latency , as here, resulting in a feeling of lag, the difference between the action ( I put the finger on the screen ) and the reaction ( on screen display ) is reflected greater.

Only your device has this problem from what I can see on XDA. Wait for the official/final release or reinstall the ROM.

Or try SEEDER

ScreenShots

Tried to post earlier but had problems with the image sizes so I've just attached them!

Ok, Finally got the download - it took more than 12 hours OTA but that may have to do with me being in Kenya - although I do have relatively fast wifi. HiSuite would download the update to 92% and then cancel.

The update prompts at the end and does everything from there. It goes into stock recovery for a long time, then boots up into the usual Huawei splash screen with a new title, 'powered by android' at the bottom.

You are greeted with an entirely different lock-screen, which when you swipe up, gives you lock-screen short cuts. The home screen looks familiar, if even more colorful than below. I like the new clock widget.

On the lock-screen there's a camera icon and if you draw the screen up from there - it takes you directly into your camera. Camera has an entirely new layout. You'll notice your carrier label on the notifications bar, top left.

Settings has new stuff on it. And the pull-notification has changed. It will take getting used to because it splits between Notifications and Switch and you have to flick left or right to select which menu to use. It seems like more work.

You can customize absolutely everything on whatever theme you select - very nice - and you'll see that there's this new 'shake to align your icons' thing when your moving icons around your homescreen. Gimmick but it works and it's cute. I SUGGEST you go into your phone memory and copy your Themes to your sd card before you update. Also, after the update, you will find a new folder, HwOUN which houses your update.zip

Finally, the email app and the keyboard have been completely revamped. The keyboard is VERY SWYPE - you get taken to some swype login sites but this app I am most pleased with. The Huawei keyboard was always lovely...light, fresh - but desperately needed swype. Then Phone App has also been revamped. These changes I think are unique to Emotion2.3?

Anyway that's all for now. I hope this was helpful.

For those trying to upgrade, I would suggest going to B125, and then placing the ZIP file both in the dload folder and on the root of your sdCard (it's already named update.zip) and then use the local update method.

N.B. I haven't tested this with this particular update! I have used this before to go back and forth between B111, B125 and B128

B510 Root

What you need:

TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0 https://mega.co.nz/#!89VhyCRS!SoPYqE6E4aHQN4bqyXkiImcHCCE2zXnHsF40q4wldHo

Boot Image https://mega.co.nz/#!pgViTZ4R!Y91_oG_L6vHVtcUSKdPueGjMlPECrTN9kZCBsVdWJQk

Recovery Image https://mega.co.nz/#!E4NDFDQb!L37lVEQkXRYf6XAXR3ym0xmGtfwAPr49WLkmhzMVCQQ

Then start adb:

write these commands:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0.img

fastboot reboot

Now you have to download SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Afterwards you install the SuperSU zip with TWRP

You have rooted your device successfully.

Hey guys,

I am new to this forum and have flashed the b510 today.

I have so far discovered that there is no way to disable Google play, which is causing huge battery drain. Possibly as part of the android os bug?

But here we go again, Google is sucking my battery empty.

Is there any way to stop that?

Downgrade to b125

Hello,

How to downgrade from b510 to b125?

Want to try some more custom JB roms.

Thanks
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] :
Through adb push a stock recovery. After that put B125 update.app in dload folder on your sdcard and push volume down + volume up + power button all at once until you see the HUAWEI logo, after that release all the buttons.

Some info : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2534420

But if you want to update after that to the official B510 final version remember that you must be on B132, it will not work like BETA over B125.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blueIBI:
you should hold the three buttons until you see the android figure and then release (force update)..if you release earlier you get into the recovery mode (from there you can start the update as well..sometimes this method fails..)

NTFS is a problem

True, but what i don't understand is how nobody noticed one very simple thing:

If your SD card is formatted in NTFS , update will FAIL.

With SD card in FAT32 format everything will be Ok.

Update with SD card in FAT32 or with SD ejected will lead you to success. :highfive:

This is available for all three methods (online, local and three buttons push)

If you let card in NTFS format, will receive an error regarding external memory and FAIL)

I upgraded succesfully to B510 from B132 with card unmounted, at some point system recognized my SD card but i was unable to write any file.

Tried all three methods (including update from local with UPDATE.APP from Huawei Romania) but error has persisted.

After two days going up and down, i downgraded to B132 where NTFS works just fine.

I believe this is major cause for FAIL...just your little SD card in NTFS.

Ahh, and was not an error from my part or faulty phone/SD card ...tryed to write a file to my card in a P6 who belongs to one of my friends, updated to 4.4.2 OTA yesterday....result is the same ...phone will see the SD card , will read files but will not write any kind of file.

With his SD card in FAT32 was not a problem.

B510 is just a beta, maybe 4.4.2 in a second release (suppose a stable one) will be complete.
