Yes. I tried the disaster recover and it gave the same error.

When I translated the page in the link you provided above it said "P8 mobile Unicom double 4G firmware" is this a branded firmware?
[Huawei Ascend P7] samusalo:
Unicom is an operator in China, and they have their own versions like China Telecom has.

There is no branding in the rom, it is the whole model which is made for China Unicom.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Xpme:
I am sorry. I am a little confused. Does that mean that it should be installed only on Unicom devices?
[Huawei Ascend P7] samusalo:
No. Every GRA-UL00 device should be the same. No matter where it is sold. It is just initially made for Unicom, like the GRA-UL10 which I have.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Xpme:
Thank you. I will give it a try and report back.

I got the same error with B135.

Is there an upgrade path or something?
[Huawei Ascend P7] ronr:
You have to pay attention to the Cxxx part of the ROM number, which is the region. You can only upgrade to a later Bxxx within the same region.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Xpme:
After going into every single region in Consumer.Huawei Site, I have found a B140 version for the C433 variant. One from Botswana and one from Kenya and I can confirm that Kenya's version works on my device. Here are the links in case someone needs them.

Best phone I used in years.

And I can tell you this, I change like 10 to 12 phones a year.

This phone will hang in my pocket for long!

I had Galaxy S6 before, and I'm happy with P8 more.

Great camera, awesome battery and screen not to mention the construction materials, UI very clean and junk free.

Loving it!

Just wondering if my phone, Europe version, can benefit of dual SIM usage.
[Huawei Ascend P7] kolembo:
So...

I've read through the thread and it seems that everyone is focused on firmware.

Unfortunately we still don't have a dedicated thread so everything is going on here!

What I'd like to know is general feeling for how you all like this phone; what you've found about it that you're enjoying and what's not so good....and what's absolutely driving you crazy!

I still have not made up my mind to buy...though the G4 & S6 are definitely out of the picture.
[Huawei Ascend P7] mayen:
Actualy there is a dedicated forum for our P8, you should check the (desktop) XDA website and search for the P8 :)

[Huawei Ascend P7] anwedr:
UL00 official stable is b174. Run the updater to receive OTA.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Xpme:
What is your software version?
[Huawei Ascend P7] spencerchong:
hi guys I've been reading all 48 pages lol and I am probably gonna buy the P8 soon..

I have a Moto 360 so can I confirm that the latest/newest builds have fixed the android wear bug? also i read that latest nova launcher has fixed the ugly notifcation/nav bar? awesome!! i'll try not to root this time round

my only problems were android wear bug, custom launcher bug and the lack of 5GHz WiFi. seems like first 2 are now all good, but we still can't have WiFi a/c?? it's quite a joke :(
[Huawei Ascend P7] samusalo:
Nope, you can't add hardware with software. If the hardware would have supported it, it would have been there from the start.

Edit: and hey, I don't even have NFC on my P8.
[Huawei Ascend P7] spencerchong:
ah I guess we will live without WiFi a/c 5GHz? haha and wait P8 has no NFC? The one in Singapore is advertised with NFC!

but everything has been fixed, like Android Wear notifications and Nova Launcher status/nav bar transparency?
[Huawei Ascend P7] samusalo:
Single sim has NFC. Dual sim, which I have, does not have have NFC. Maybe there was no room left for it, because of dual modems.

I am already on 5.1.1 beta and at least there everything has been fixed.
[Huawei Ascend P7] spencerchong:
I suppose my country's sets are Single SIM. 16GB of internal storage, sigh, we wish we had 64GB.

wow how's 5.1.1 like? do you think we will get it soon?
[Huawei Ascend P7] samusalo:
I honestly have no idea for the release date of 5.1.1 update.

Overall it feels really solid. As Android 5.0.x had some terrible wakelock issues, I am happy that they have been fixed in 5.1.1.
[Huawei Ascend P7] spencerchong:
I just realized my shop's Huawei P8 is GRA-UL00. there's no difference with the GRA-UL09 except for NFC right?
[Huawei Ascend P7] sony83:
Anxiously waiting for the "double tap to wake" feature on 5.1.1
[Huawei Ascend P7] samusalo:
I guess you mean "GRA-L09".

UL00 is dual sim model and doesn't have NFC, as L09 is single sim and has NFC. Apart from that, there are no differences, unless some 4G/LTE frequency differences.
[Huawei Ascend P7] spencerchong:
thanks so much! got my dual-SIM P8 today and all's good.. on B150 which I assume is latest firmware.

still there's 2 bugs that annoy hell outta me:

1) status bar color in every app follows background color of wallpaper. mine is grey and I find it so stupid/ugly

2) Poweramp notifications on status bar is black text on a transcluent background say wut
[Huawei Ascend P7] anwedr:
B174 is the latest. And the Poweramp black background is due to android lollipop, not EMUI.
[Huawei Ascend P7] spencerchong:
oh okay guess I Will try to check if there's an update.

yeah I understand that, we can inverse the notification colors and it works well on most other phones but for the P8/Huawei on the EMUI it's still black text. the stock music player displays white text which is much visible
[Huawei Ascend P7] desertflyer:
Just got my GRA-L09 delivered to the USA from a eBay seller in the UK. I wish he would have mentioned the nick in the metal (caused by him) next the SIM card tray, but besides that this is a beautiful phone. I bought it for my girlfriend, and it'll be hard to give up... especially because this phone is really rare in the USA.

As for the software, it's on B121 and does not want to update. Can I install B141 from Huawei's website or is that only for the GRA-UL00?

Edit: I found the answer and it is no - B141 doesn't work on GRA-L09.
[Huawei Ascend P7] samusalo:
Latest firmware for European P8 GRA-L09 is B170. You can download it from here:

Hello everyone. I have Huawei P7 and i love it. Thinking of upgrading to P8.

P8 lite keyboard glitch

I have a quick and offtopic question, about P8: do you have the double typing keyboard bug? Like when you type words, it sometimes writes "tthis is a bbugged messagge thhat happenns on thee P8 litte" this is how it looks mostly. Do you encounter the same at P8? This is what happens on the P8 lite and i have no ideea what to do, i dont know if it is a hardware or software problem, and i have no ideea how to solve this. All that i know is that it drives me to hell, its so annoying that sometimes you may want to throw the phone at the window. Thank you, and sorry for posting offtopic, i just didnt see a P8 lite section and I was curious if the P8 has the same glitch.
[Huawei Ascend P7] vimto25:
No there is no glitch on the p8 keyboard it works very well

This is my second GRA-L09 and I notist that this one don't have 2 features:

1. When I push down from top to access fast setting the 4G toggle is not there

2. There is no Touchplus menu either

I'm o on B170 stock Rom.

Just messing about.

Now that the P8 is imminent, I'm mourning the loss of my beautiful P7.

Such a slab of delight.

I see the P8 is all metal. I was looking forward to sapphire and ceramic. Metal just doesn't feel as good. My beautiful P7 felt good in my hands, looked wonderful in the light - like that thing in Space Oddesy.

Ya, OK, I know, I sound like a soap opera!

AK. But my beautiful P7.......
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
You can STILL keep P7 and have P8 .. nice collection .. u might get P6 for cheap price ? :)

P8 WILL be ceramic on the back.. but DEFO no sapphire screen .. it might be bcos P7 released with sapphire screen but it is veeeryy expensive ..

And Huawei Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition is not even for sale anymore..

Ha! :) yeah... I'm a P-series freak. The mate 7 is a great phone...too big.

I didnt expect to get so emotionally tangled with Huawei when I bought the P6. Spectacular little thing. And the P7. You see, no one made phones like these.

Now the P8 looks ordinary... But I'll wait. I don't know what to expect anymore!

Thanks for the honor photos.... I wonder if honor would do it for me...

[MENTION=5923527]Simona Simmy[/MENTION]

:) yes, the last two years, there's been something about Huawei, including their Honor range that just can't be duplicated elsewhere. It took a long time to start using the P6 less (its a little underpowered now!), the P7 still never leaves my hands, and mate 7 owners are liking theirs!

There's something about the integrity of the design and their commitment to Emotion that's very special.

Heh. 55 inch! Remember when 4.5 was big for a phone? It seems like a while ago - but it wasn't! Things move so fast eh.

With the P8 I'm not so much concerned with the size as I am the materials. What's been excellent is to see Huawei really put the work in where their technology is concerned. They never gave up.

This is their year to really let Samsung know that Huawei has its own tech - and it's good!

Samsung's edge design though rocks! Good for them! Although Samsung's use experience is horrendous.

I feel like I'm arriving in a tank at a cocktail party! And using a hand break to come to a halt! Ah.

I'm not sure what to think yet.

It looks like a more polished version of the P7 - I don't know if that's enough.

I love my P7 so this isn't too bad but I'm afraid that the P8 is making the same mistake as the HTC M9 and the Galaxy S5 - the released image looks like a P7s not a new flagship P8.

I think Samsung really took a bit out of everyone this year. Only the Lenovo (pictured) seems to have designed something. Even LG I think are going to find themselves in trouble.

This changes everything for next year - everyone is going to have to change

It's very light. The 'premium' feel is nothing special, the glass on the P7 feels better!

The shape is very delicate - ok, the screen IS impressive and the camera is immediately spectacular, however, the package as a whole feels rather.... Normal.

Having lived with the P7, both the metal and the glass feel more substantial. The edge is very well made though, everything flush and polished, no gaps.

The P8 may just get this, especially if it's 2.5 curved glass and they paid attention to materials.

I'm excited again, yay!
