Hello guys i am a noob and searching for answers. My huawei is at b119. Can i update to this firmware directly?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ThunderBird891:
[MENTION=4558759]miz_pimp[/MENTION] So what do you suggest - update WITHOUT doing factory reset? Will this resolve the issue and the charging be as usual? I am asking because it was not clean for me - when you tested without factory reset does it works normal, or?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
I'm honestly not sure. I tried updating from B520, without wiping, and my phone shutdown at 19% after the first install. I wiped dalvik and cache in twrp (I had to root), and then the device discharged to shutdown while charging.

I haven't tried again with B510, and to be really honest, I'm at my wits end with this battery issue. I've tried to figure it out, but I just don't have the know-how to figure it out, unfortunately. I really want to downgrade to EMUI2.3, but I've fallen in love with everything about EMUI 3.0, especially the size of everything, like the fonts, so I'll just end up coming back to B708, terrible battery and all. *sigh* [emoji30]

Catch 22. [emoji29]

Feel free to try though, and report back, please?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ThunderBird891:
I am considering update to B708, but do you know is this problem present in the .zip BbN_repack, flashable thru TWRP?

I am talking about this one: http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p6/development/b708-kangvip-tools-integrated-repackbbn-t2986681

Do you have any info about it?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
I haven't tried his repack, so I can't say, but I know that the same happens with Oxalis' repack of B709.

I think that this is a general problem with B708/B709 (haven't tried with B707, because I deleted the file a while back, and haven't downloaded it again).

I think that Huawei will need to fix this issue, I'm just not sure they're going to. I've read the Chinese forums, and I haven't seen anyone complaining about the device shutting down while charging, just that their battery drains very fast.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ThunderBird891:
I am beginning to wonder if Huawei will produce a international version of the EMUI 3.0 ever. Since one of our forum fellow told me, the he contacted Huawei Official in UK and they told him, that there will be no update OTA for P6 to EMUI 3.0 in UK... And when I take a look at the elapsed time from the latest stable chinese release...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
I am on Oxalis repack of B709 and i dont have the mentioned problem with the battery. I had B707 before which i flashed through stock recovery and then went to TWRP to flash the repack.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
When installing the repack, did it factory reset? Or did you do one manually before installing, or afterwards?

Also, what is your region set to? Your custom.bin, I mean?

I've tried so many variations on what cust settings to use as my own, and none seem to make a difference.

Thank you for your response, hopefully we can get to the bottom of this soon! [emoji5]

hey guys

i have a problem since i've used B708 update

first i falshed from B508 to B708 Chinese Stable version but there was no google apps (GAPS) at all n had some other issue with it such as chinese apps

the bigger problem was that in shortcut panel u couldnt see anything but an edit icon

i mean there was no shortcuts at all , even with choosing edit button there was no shortcut to choose n use

so last night i decided to use last version of this international repack in order to solve this problem

i thought there is something wrong with official ROM but after using this update nothing changed at all

this topic is my last hope

is there any way to solve it ?

btw my Chrome dsnt work at all , as soon as opening chrome it crushes ...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
Ok everyone, I have semi-good news! I read through the feedback thread on the Chinese Huawei forum, and we're not the only ones who have the issue of the battery draining quickly, even though it's charging! I think I also read someone mentioned their device shuts down as well, even with the P6-C00!

I'm just praying that Huawei will push an update to fix this soon!!

Have you tried doing a factory reset? I have no problem with my shortcuts being missing.

Also, Chrome needs to be updated in order to work.

When I first installed the rom, Chrome gave an error to say it was incompatible/outdated, or something like that. Updating via the Play Store fixed it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] pcarbajal84:

yea, works very nice.

i made a hard reset, no factory reset, just a hard reset and wooohhooo, work very nice... thnks for idea. cheers from Honduras. :):):):)

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
Then maybe B707 didn't have this issue, or you're just one of the lucky ones who don't have this problem. :confused:

I guess I'll have to download B707 to test it. :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
Ok, to everyone having issues with the phone shutting down while charging, I found a workaround to prevent the phone from shutting down, and to stop discharging while the charger is plugged in! ??

When your battery is low, and you plug in your charger, and you see that your battery is still discharging, just unplug the charger from your phone, and plug it back in again. [emoji16]

As simple as that! I hope it works for all of you as well, although I'm sure it will. [emoji1]
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ThunderBird891:
Very nice solution! Thank you! I can say also, that I am second day with the B708_RePack_BbN and I am amazed from the improved battery life of the device! Rally, better than B520 for me personally! And I am running the same apps! And also - I am not having the issue with the charger and all, that you mentioned above! Cheers!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
I'm glad you're enjoying it, and that you don't have the charging issue! EMUI 3.0 really is awesome! That's exactly why I've been wracking my brain trying to find a solution, when all I needed to do was unplug the charger, and plug it back in! ? Totally wasted hours and hours reinstalling software, and doing factory resets, and now I can finally rest. My husband will be happiest to know he won't have to hear about this issue as anymore.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] beshert:
I also encountered a similar problem on the battery, and call logs are lost when you restart the phone. But I have overcome the problem:

On the recovery of the stock market: I hard reset (wipe data / factory reset and wipe cache partition), and system reset.

After completing the boot device, install TWRP. In TWRP Recovery: install B635 repack (http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p6/development/b635-repack-bbnkk4-4-2-huawei-p6-t2929111). After installation is complete, go to TWRP recovery B709 v3 (NOT WIPE) (http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p6/development/ascend-p6-u06-b709-emui-3-0 -kitkat-t2999971). Done, everything works perfectly!

I also noticed that once updated via local method, the phone reboots.

After rebooting at times it shows Huawei logo for a mintue or two: when Huawei logo is seen, the magazine theme shows all chinese language,

And if after reboot at times it shows "android" text displayed on screen!!! when this happens the magazine theme shows the wallpaper description (when phone is locked) in english language. Also it shows some updates in theme section. in Music app, the online music option never connects to wifi etc..

i dont know how this happens. Coz I tried local update method as well as forced update method, using the v3 of 708.

Call log disappears after sometime

I have installed B708 over Huawei official B510 and stock recovery. Restored backup from HiSuite and everything seemed OK. Then after sometime i opened caller and my call log was completely empty. Then i restored call logs again but sometime later they were gone again. I checked in the permissions manager that facebook messenger had access to "delete call log entries" permission. I restricted and again restored but didn't help.

Did anybody else face the same issue and what could be the solution?

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
The deleted call log happens after every reboot. It has nothing to do with Messenger permissions There seems to be a setting in either the local.prop file, or the hw_defaults in your "cust" folder that is causing this. I can't seem to pinpoint exactly what it is, but I'd suggest doing a factory reset, as this will most likely fix the issue for you. Obviously make a backup before you do the reset.

I have a big problem with this rom please help me

I undated this rom yesterday befor this I have b 125 rom (p6-uo6)

After update my mode changed to p6-c00 is it ok?

In B512 in “storage” there is” default storage location “and I could have my choice between internal storage or sd card but In this rom This choice does not exist ,,,,What should I do?

I downloaded B708_Repack_NeoArnet.V3 and I cant root it anyway….
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] AdnanCG:
I really didn't faced with that problem ever. Try to reflash this repacked version. If that dont work try flashing B708 official Chinese version than go back to this repack.

For default storage location go to settings>memory/storage>at tha button you will have that option.

This is screenshot frob B709 but I remember that I had this option in B708

You do not have to root to install another launcher. Simply install the launcher you want from the google play store, then go to settings>Manage apps>Default app settings>launcher then select the new launcher!;)

Only way to root this b708 repack is with twrp. To change launcher go to setting>manage apps and you will have a option to change default launcher,music player etc.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] wards5150:
To switch launchers you need to go into manage apps, at the bottom there is an option to set default app settings. From here there is an option for launcher. Set the one you want from the list once you have downloaded it. Enjoy:). Not rooted yet but there is a tutorial how to set twrp. You need this to root I believe.

My experience using V3 of the firmware.

I'm in South Africa and have used the firmware for 6 days. I upgraded from b512 and did not factory reset.

I find that the firmware works well and I would recommend upgrading to it.

Some things I have noted:

- Some people say that they experienced battery drain when battery level goes below 20% after updating. I have not experienced this. I would say the battery performs the same as it did on b512. There might even be a slight improvement in battery performance.

- I have not expreianced the charging issue that some people discribe. When I plug my phone in, it charges first time.

- I noticed that my phone model changed from P6-U06 to P6-C00 after the update.

- The GPS is working again (it was not working properly for me on b512). I do believe that the GPS accuracy could be better though. The phone works fine for navigation but when you use a sports tracker app, you notice that the GPS jumps around a bit. It can be better because a friend uses a Galaxy S3 at the same time as me when we are training and his GPS has smoother tracking lines.

- The mobile data activity arrows are sometimes not properly located on the symbol in the notification bar.

- If you use the magazine unlock screen, there is some Chinese writing at the bottom of the lock screen that describes the image.

- the "emergency call" that some people have a problem with on the lock screen opens the dialer if you double tap it.

- Google maps works if you remove the Google maps updates and use the factory installed version of Google maps.

I am much happier with this version of the software. It is huge improvement over b512.

Thank you NeoArnet!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
The charging problem is an issue with the battery itself, and not the firmware, because I had my battery replaced, and now my battery charges just fine as well. :)

Which network are you on? I'm assuming your phone is unbranded (either Cell C or Telkom Mobile?), because the reason your device changes to P6-C00 is because your custom.bin file is set to hw/normal. If you root you device, you can always change that, but it really doesn't make much of a difference anyway, unless it really bothers you.

Regarding the mobile data arrows, that is because your device is changed to a P6-C00, but can also be fixed if you change the settings in the local.prop file in the data/cust folder.

For the lock screen being in Chinese, if you allow your themes app access to your location, you should get an update for the Magazine lock screen. Once that's updated, the lock screen description will be in English. It's actually not a description, but just quotes.

Sorry, I missed replying to both of you.

The first time you launch the Themes app, you should get a popup that asks if you would like to grant the app access to your location, and that gives you access to online themes. If you have not gotten this popup, it means that the online themes has been disabled for you.

Enabling online themes will then require root.
