It seems there are users who are experiencing issues with their devices freezing, if I understood correctly (in the Russian forum).
Just so anyone who decides to try it, does so at their own risk. [emoji106]

Can someone confirmed it?? no freeze?no hang? because in russian forum said that B520 cause freezing...

I'm having issues with getting the wifi to work with B520 kernel with PA ramdisk on PA beta 4 rom. Anyone successful?

I have been using this B520 update now few days, theres no freezing etc. I have just edited build.prop & SQlite modding, deleted most of Huawei apps from launcher to system manager. This update is working good ! (better than: B510,511,512,513,634..) Battery life is awesome, i can use my phone heavily whole day without charging phone.

I've received an OTA notification about this B520 rom some hours ago..
I'm downloading (OTA) it right now (i have B125 rom)
Hope it will be good, because this summer i've tried B510, but was too laggy and slow compared to B125...

Downgrading right now to B125
B520 is faster and smoother than B510, but "big problems" are all there again.
Gmail, stock client mail, stock browser, notification bar are laggy.
Another problem is facebook/messenger chatheads or for example.. i've bought some months ago knock lock pro app for lock my phone with double tap, but can't get it work on B520
.. at least B125 has no bug, it's smooth, fast and battery life is good

I tried to edit build.prop the lines with privacymode and startupmanager in B520 to bring back the fb chatheads. But it won't save my changes. I used ES File Explorer Note Editor. It keeps giving me an error. Anyone have the same problem?

I've already updated from B512 directly to B706 without and problem, but if you can't, than try first to update to official China Firmware version B508SP02 - in the official info for B706 is said, that it is strongly recommended to update only from this version!

I'm italian and i've received B520 via OTA from B125.
If you want to update manually, it's always the same update.app on the sdcard method. There are a lot of post or thread about how to update, check the INDEX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566453 or search in the forum
However.. for me B520 was really bad (not bad as B510, but.. B125 is a lot smoother and faster too)
Third part apps can't open popup windows, missing notification until unlock the phone, background app manager not working, gmail/mail/stock browser laggy, 3g icon stucked on the status bar.. too little and annoying problems for me.
Happy with B125
(P.S. I've downgraded from B520 to B125 simply with update.app method, simply and with no problems :good

Any fixes like lockscreen widgets or not? I find lockscreen widgets to be very useful so I want to know before I try it.
EDIT: Nope, it does not. Not many changes to B125 I feel, but it does have better RAM management. Consistently around 400 mb even with games. But still, reverting to OMNI ROM....
Do i really need external sd card in order to perform local update to b132

I have 24 hours with b132 and have to say it feels faster and smoother. at the beginning it seemed to drain the batter faster but I recalibrated the battery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration) and it does seem that it is lasting longer than before (altough it's still too early to be sure).
I highly recommend it because it's notably better in performance.
I have been able to upgrade to b125 but not to b132... I cant really find whats the cause of update fail

Awesome. I'm going to pass the manual calibration of the battery and wait for it to calibrate the "natural" way because I don't want to root my phone any more.. I saw some stability issues after rooting.. I'll report after about 1 week of use

B507 KitKat update for P6-U6 [08.05.2014]

An update has been released, B507, for the P6-U06, and can be downloaded here: P6-U06 Android 4.4 Emotion UI V100R001C17B507
The download button is on the right, right below where it shows the size of the firmware.
It seems to be a little bit snappier than B506, but that could just be placebo. It fixes the bug of the phone and messages that shows the contacts' locations in Chinese.
Also, in B506, when changing the locale and region in build.prop to anything other than "zh" and "CN" you weren't able to delete your call logs, or even view your call information in the dialer. This has been fixed in B507

Just a bit more feedback on B507...
Last night I went to bed with my battery at 17%, and when I woke up this morning, it was STILL on 17%!! On B506 my battery would most likely have been on 5%, or completely dead! I'm very, VERY impressed! :highfive:
Also, I've mentioned in the other thread that the dialer does not show Chinese characters, but unfortunately, the messages app still does. Oh, and I've changed my build.prop locale and region to "en" and "GB", just in case anyone is wondering.
I'd still love to be able to get the online themes, fonts, and wallpapers working properly, but I don't know how to fix that. Anyway, it's not a major issue, and I've gotten used to there not being a cursor in all the apps, lol, but it still bothers me just a little. :silly:

Here a link to german forum: p6_downgrade_android_4_4l
Hey, I downloaded this emui 2.0 and tansfer this file called UPDATE.app to dload on SDcard, and flashed on local update. Results? "FAILED" on "reboot mode" (or sth like that - moment, when update is on the way...). I have no idea what i should to do. Some history about my ascend p6:
I bought him when he had b102, I upgrade him to b125, then to b132, then to b510, end at least b512. After using Kitkat from 1 month I decided to cameback to JellyBean and b125. On many forums I read that it's not so simple, many users were lost notification bar or had a different problems. Because of this, i gave up for next few weeks and I thought: it's too difficult. 3 days ago I read on this forum to install b111 and that's all. Unfortunately, i lost my not. bar. Guys, I really ask you to help. It is possible to fix this without root, bootloaders, kernels etc etc???

B111 is not the most stable version of Emui 1.6 Jb 4.2.2 .. and i think the bootloader is locked on this firmware.
For downgrade use B125 or B132 for the P6-u06
B125 : http://huaweinews.com/2013/12/ascend-p6-b125-firmware/
B132 : http://huaweinews.com/2014/03/ascend-p6-b132-firmware/
The method is the same : stock recovery , update.app in sdcard\dload
The instructions are on huaweinews too look at the end.
Good Luck
Hi Skyllery, before I'll do like You suggested, look at my situation: actually, after my try to downgrade to JB, my p6 loaded on 2 try b111system version without shortcut icons on "up" notification bar (I've got only bar with hour, date and actual informations like new sms etc.) I've searched solution on forums, and because of my weak english skills I didn't understand some guy and dload extra arrow to hide "down" bar, not new not.bar with icons. I wish to come back this icons on this bar, that's all. Before my upgarde to higher versions of system I didn't have this arrow to hide bar. Now my p6 "live" normally. I did a factory reset, I wonder what to do: 1) Dload b125 or 2) b132???

Help in upgrading from b116.

Hi I recently got a p6. So far I really like the phone nice step up from g300 . Love the look. I am still on jellybean. The firmware is b116. I think it is the UK version no updates are available? I have searched here and on other forums. Not many seem to have upgrade from this rom. Just looking for a bit of advice hopefully someone else has upgraded from this firmware.

Hi, similarly here (although I upgraded from a Y300).
Do a backup first [full backup if possible using the Android SDK. A nandroid (full image) backup may be impossible unless you root/unlock your phone & install CWM/TWRP recovery tools].
A microSD card is required.
You first need JB B132 next, which you can get from: http://huaweinews.com/2014/03/ascend-p6-b132-firmware/
Once done, you can upgrade to KK B510 from: http://huaweinews.com/2014/06/ascend-p6-b510-official/
You can stop here, if you like, but if you want the latest then carry on....
There are B512, B513, B606, B607 updates, but I went to KK B634 next, downloadable from: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=26521&version=48526
And finally KK B635 from: http://consumer.huawei.com/tr/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=29262
The B634 & B635 updates are 'Turkish' updates (with a few minor changes), but if you only install 'Part 1' of each, the default is English. So unzip & only install/flash "Update.app" in 'Part 1' folders of each.
If you need update instructions, just ask.
Thanks i will try when i get a bit of free time. Did you upgrade from b116? Read a few reviews saying kitkat roms are not worth the trouble. I was on cm11 on my g300 and liked that rom. Not rooted or installed a custom recovery on p6 yet. I'm sure i will in time though. Sticking with stock for now.

Which sites? Because KK works fine for me.
All the above are stock ROMs.
Android pit and android central. The negative reviews seem to be on the early kitkat builds. Battery Life seems to be a big negative. I'll aim to go for b635 as you suggested. Ill let you know how it goes Thanks again for the confirmation that you went from b116.

OK I'm now on b132. Seems very similar to the original rom which came on the phone. Would you recommend going to b510 or straight to b513. Both are on the supported software list as an upgrade from b132. Another question is the renaming of the zip file. The word document from the official rom does not mention anything about it. I have read on this forum others had to rename files. Which way did you upgrade? Sorry for all the questions don't want to brick my phone.

It looks like B512 came after B513 & the former (i.e. B512) is 'better' apparently - see: http://huaweinews.com/2014/08/ascend-p6-b512/
As mentioned before, I went from B510 to B634, so missed the B512 update entirely.
All files I downloaded & updated with were named UPDATE.APP, so I didn't have to rename anything.
Ok so now i am on b512. Upgrade went fine did not rename any files and all went through smoothly. Weird how some people have to mess around wit the files. Did what you suggested and as on the b512 instruction. Like the look of the new soft keys at the bottom. i was never a fan of that big grey bar.Home button seems laggy though. Ill let it settle and report back. Looks like there is a new rom b708 with emui 3.0 so might wait to see on reports from that. I doubt Huawei will go for lollipop on this pone but it would be nice.
Oh right, I didn't know there was a new update already - did a search & found it at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/development/b708-emui-3-0-root-included-t2942550
Will be updating at some point depending on the responses.
I didn't notice any home button lag with B510, so perhaps only B512 has it? But I installed a third-party launcher almost immediately anyway, so didn't have much of a play with the stock Huawei interface.
Yes, you're probably right - they won't be releasing LP for the P6.
plz help
Hi! the downloadable links in these links dont seem to be working :/
Any alternative?

[Q] Need help on updating my B125 smartphone.

Hello people, I know I'm not really active on this community but this is the only place I know of where I can get help.
So I saw on many pages KitKat is released on H. Ascend P6, however "internet update" said I'm on the latest version (I live in Mexico). On an old thread I did a really long time ago, some guys helped me to updgrade my compilation version to B125.
I saw on a post I had to update from B125 to B132, and then install the KitKat update (B506 http://huaweinews.com/2014/06/ascend-p6-b510-official/ ). The B506 version seems to include Emotion UI 2.3, while some themes on this forum are for E. UI 3.0
I don't understand what ROM means, but I see there are many around here. E.g:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...8-kangvip-tools-integrated-repackbbn-t2986681
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/development/ascend-p6-u06-b709-emui-3-0-kitkat-t2999971
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/general/b520-update-android-4-4-2-enotion-ui-2-3-t2903736
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/general/ascend-p6-b708-emui-3-0-international-t2991646
That's why I'm really confused. While I'd like to have the latest E. UI version, I'd also like stability and few bugs.
Can anyone help me?

For this rom and b709 you need twrp
If you want to update to b708 you need to go from b125 to b132 then on b510/511/512/513 and from there you can flash b708 international but only with stock recovery

Okay:
I'm now downloading B132 right now and will update to 510 afterwards. What I don't get is the flashing and stock recovery stuff at the moment

Flashing is basically installing rom,I dont know how to say that more simple..
And stock recovery is default huawei recovery. You dont have too bother with that if you didnt installed twrp or some other custom recovery

Hi there again.
I managed to install latest international kitkat firmware (b510) but I have got some troubles...
The system gui is indeed amazing, but laggy.
It took up to 2 hours and a half to make a full charge before, but now it takes at least the same time or even more (up to 3 hours now).
Device gets hotter than before, even when it's winter in my country.
Native explorer is really laggy that it's impossible to browse the internet with it. I gotta use chrome.
Battery probably drains faster than before.
Are those things normal? should I downgrade or update to another ROM? What should I do?
Because I'm getting worried for my phone due to those reasons.

Try upgrading to the latest official international - B520 - very stable and battey friendly.

Hey there, I did some research and it seems to be a german or european upgrade, not an international one
You wont know if its good or not until you try it.
