[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Sustia:
Hi guys, I hope this is the right forum to ask.

I have, of course, an Ascend p6 (Italy).

The kernel version is: 3.0.8-00778-gd8aacf6.

Since I never received OTA updates (I own the P6 for about a year), I called Huawei Italy, asking if I could install the latest firmware available on their site, namely "firmware P6 (P6-U00, Android_4.2, Emtion_UI, V100R001C00B112, West_Eur ope-Channel, 05011SRP) "released on 07/21/2014

I saw that the B606 is the branded version of Vodafone (Huawei center also confirmed this point), but I'm not a Vodafone customer, so I cannot understand why I have suche branded version, so I cannot receive the OTA upgrades.

Huawei center told me that the firmware version described above is the latest available, and that they cannot give more information about the branded versions.

My questions are:

-I can install the firmware version that I just downloaded, or I will create problems because the cell is branded?

-for do so, I must be the root user or not?

-mi understand that the Android version of this update is still 4.2, how can I switch to 4.4 (with Emotion UI after the 1.6)?

Thanks a lot in advantage.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] danielpsx:
hello first thing is, what p6 version do you have? (there is p6-u06 (international version) and p6-u00 (this one is chinese)), what firmware are you at? if you are at b112 or less and you have international version one, you have to update to b132 (search for the b132 update here on xda), then update to that version (b132) by making a folder on your sd card called "dload", and turn off the phone completely, then press: power, volume + and volume - buttons, until it power on, wait 2 seconds and release power button, then it will automatically update, then download the b510 here on xda, rename the zip file to "UPDATE", put it on dload folder on sd card, go to settings===> update==>local update (the update process takes like 5-10 minutes), and you will be on kitkat with emui 2.3. after that, you need to root the phone (vroot works good, but is in chinesse languaje) , install twrp recovery 2.8.0.0 (highly recommended) using adb and fastboot method (there are some tutorials here on xda) and you will be ready to install any kitkat custom firmware or stock b6xx firmware. hope it helps!

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Sustia:
Hi Daniel, thanks for your answer and your italian at the end of reply ;)

I have p6-U06.

Mi firmware version is B606 that is a branded version of Vodafone, although I'm not a vodafone customer.

For this reason I'm not sure if I can directly upgrade to the latest version, I think that B606 version is less that B112, but I'm not sure.

Could I update to B132 or there is some risk?

Thanks a lot.

Ciao :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] danielpsx:
hello, since b606 is jellybean 4.2.2, and b132 is jellybean too it may not be any problem to update, after reading a lot, b606 firmware users complain about the performance of the phone along other bugs... and b606 is an old firmware, even b112sp04 is newer that b606, so make the update via dload (ive explain on my last comment to b132, please make the backups of your pictures, sms, and last and most important, the apn configuration (the 3g access configuration), do the update to b132, the goodies of b132 wifi conect and disconnect is fixed, the bad, battery draining is higher... but once you are on b132 you can update to b510 kitkat. by the way, b112 have many bugs, even the wifi bug... so is better to get the b132 update.

hope it helped!

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

other thing, the latest version of firmware of vodafone is b607 and 610, but still jellybean.... and i have not tested if can update from b606 to b610 via dload since vodafone lock the ota update to customers in countries approved by them... tha is why you never get any online updated on the phone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Sustia:
Hi danielpsx, thanks a lot for your answer.

I will download either b132 and b510, and will install them.

Just a final question: both the firmware must be in zip format in dload folder or just the b510, while the b132 should be unzipped?

Thanks!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] danielpsx:
that a good question, the b132 update in most of cases must be unzipped and you will see some file called "UPDATE.UPP", and the b510 must remain as a zip file, but you must see by yourself, if the zip contains various files inside it must remain zipped, just rename it to update, if the file only contains 1 file called update, unzip it. in both cases must be placed on dload folder on sd card.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Sustia:
Ok, thanks, upgraded to b132, I'm going for b510, although I have b512 too :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] danielpsx:
great, very good indeed, please dont forget to thank on my replys (i like to get thanks so i can build some reputation in the forum) Thanks!!!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Biges:
Hi! Please I'd liek to ask for help. I'm in the same situation as the OP, but I can't update my P6.

I put the update file to the microSD card and reboot, I got the attached screen.

The up and down volume buttons don't work and I can only press the power button this rebooting the phone. And the phone is vibrating constantly in this state :( Tried a different microSD card, no help. The update file is even found via the Settings menu of the phone, but after reboot the same situation happens.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
To me it seems like you sont have the update.app file in the dload folder on the root of your card, so you might want to check on that.

Yes in terms of raw specs, but the price is also much higher for the X8 Mini Pro (there are like 70 USD difference). Don't forget that.

Use titanium (or Helium) for all your apps, use SMS Backup & Restore for sms.

How about super backup, i use it for sms,app,contact backup

I've tried Helium before but it didn't backup all my apps for some reason...

I've heard of titanium but its not free is it? (To use effectively)

That's why I suggest you to try this one brother, "super backup".

You can download it from playstore. Its very simple ui but can backup all of your app include your system app.

And it's free

Hello, i recommend Titanium backup.
[General Topics] GalaxyWhy:
It wont find my External SD Card though (im using USB OTG since my phone doesnt have a SD card slot) so im gunna backup and then move it to my SD card using a Root Explorer
[General Topics] nubikom:
if you have root explorer lets open it and click storage

look in this folder, maybe your external sdcard is named as extsd or sdcard1, etc

reopen super user and clik backup path and change as /storage/sdcard1/SmsContactsBackup

or /storage/extsd/SmsContactsBackup depending of what is name of your external sdcard on /storage

You can do this to usb otg too
[General Topics] GalaxyWhy:
I got it working. Just a question is there a way to make the apps automatically install themselves? I got a pop-up for each app that I had to click "Install" then "Done" which was tedious :(
[General Topics] nubikom:
NO it can not

You only reinstall super backup from play store and then open it and tab to the archiver easy to reinstall your app just by one click at the bottom of archiver and all of your app will reinstall quickly.
[General Topics] GalaxyWhy:
Oh you misunderstood. I did what you said to do but i still had to individually click install from a popup for every app ?
[General Topics] nubikom:
Ow , sorry, I guess the same manner as we do backups

I forgot something that request to be reminded by the system installed.

Because I don't often reinstalling apps

Thank you for telling me

[General Topics] teonagode:
Have you tried My " Backup" as its free?
[General Topics] davidpeter:
doesn't the back up work?
[General Topics] str8str:
Zip.me is the easiest and best/fastest way I've found. It does not restore data yet but I find that restoring all data causes more problems that it should so, I use zip.me for most all my apps and use super backup or any other mentioned here for a few like my home launchers that are a pain to. set up again . That way I'm only replacing data on a few apps rather than the whole lot. Been very successful this way and never any boot loops from data corruption. This is the fastest and safest way I've found.
[General Topics] Common001:
titanium is partially free, you just have to manually accept each app installation (boring when you have a lot)

paid version is automatic

back up on you PCs is the most safety
[General Topics] Sciencekeeper:
I tried Titanium free for a while. Now I have bought the Pro version. It has a few advantages compared to the free version.

If you flash a lot its a very good tool. One button to push and it restores all apps and the user data while you can make yourself some coffee...
[General Topics] Sciencekeeper:
But if you Do update to another Android Version don't restore Data. Only the App itself. Learned this the hard way :)

What can I do?
