Still on 5.1? - Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, im new to Huawei coming from note 4. Like it so much better then Samsung!
I'm still on 5.1 emui 3.1 I see some of you already rocking 6.0. How can I get that and is it a stock rom? Im from Europe btw

Hi, I had the same version as yours in Europe. Through the HiCare app from Huawei, the system was able to check that there was a new version. It prepared the phone and I finished the update using the complete file available from the website (and here as well).

The hicare got an update indeed... But will I get a ota update or do I have to do it manual?
Is 6.0 good?

B560 MM is nice
You must have stock recovery. IMO, best to use a full ROM. The OTA probably is a full ROM though.

I'm having battery issues with b560. It lasts almost as half as on 5.1

I think im going to wait until I get the ota update

In B560 you lost the chance to hidden the navigation button,battery (for someone) is worst than LL.

Heelp updating new Honor 6+ PE-TL10 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 (3UK)

Hi
I have purchased the Honor 6+ from 3 UK.
Currently my installed rom is as folows:
Model Number PE-TL10
Build Number PE-TL10V100R001C900B141
Android Version 4.4.2
Custom Version CUSTC432D141
Fully Stock / Unrooted
I am looking to upgrade to 4.4.4 stock unrooted.
I have tried the B160 update from this page http://www.needrom.com/download/honor-6-4g-pe-tl10/ but the update always fails.
Any Idea what I'm doing wrong or the file I should be using? Also this pages says that Gapps are not incleded, does that mean I have to root in order to flash Gapps through a custom recovery?
Thanks

All honor 6 and 6+ stock roms are based on android 4.4.2.
You dont need to root to install gapps, just install the apks

Sorry of the confusion, that page lists the rom as "official Update" and "Android Version 4.4.4" and says to flash through the huawei update app on the phone.
Does that mean the only 4.4.4 woudl be a custom rom that rrequires a custom recovery?

Yes but I don't think that there is any custom rom for the Honor 6 plus. For the honor 6 there is an ufficial cm11 but it miss some basic features like dual sim support.
International ROM

Not to hijack the thread, but I would be interested in getting an International ROM like you seem to have.. I have the Chinese version, which do not allow me to join Huawei cloud, and pops up messages in Chinese now and then... If the ROM is not tied up to 3UK in anyway, that is.
I have the latest build PE-TL10V100R001CHNC00B173

Seems my answer didnt get posted:
If you e.g. Open HiVoice, charachters are English & Chinese, so I guess this app are of no use, voice command I guess.. Most annoying is pop-ups warning me of backups. Since I'm not allowed to use Huawei Cloud+, it's of no use( "service unavailable in your country"). Phone is set to Norwegian language, and most apps is in Norwegian, some in English. I use other clouds for backup, but the 6+ defaults to HCloud+.
Some themes use Chinese also..
Small things that are annoying...especially when the phone is released in Europe now...
Did you manage to find any ROMS which worked on the 3uk version. As i could not find the orginal rom ( PE-TL10V100R001C900B141) anywhere to download I have not risked flashing using a ROM not based for this phone.
Hey Jusumgeezer
Did you solve the problem with a local update Honor 6+
I have a feeling the rom we have on our 3uk handests are specific for 3. ......maybe i am wrong. Would be good to se if someone has better knowledge that I do.
I bought my 6 plus from Amazon UK not 3 and I have the same versions as you, so not specific to 3. Hope this helps!
Interesting. Have you managed to load a diferent rom on to it yet success? and if yes which one?
Still no joy with updating yet. I have a feeling that the page I quoted is actually showing roms for the 6 not the 6+ that's why they won't work
NO. The page you quoted is correct. I have a feeling that our "European" models need specific ROMs for them. Which is annoying. ANy one had any luck yet?

Dont't work for me
I have trying all ways too update, no one work.
This way works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/development/guide-to-stock-rom-method-t3099261
ore use multi-tool and use the unbrick option.
but the Sim card is not detected and updates also do not work and my phone keep restarting.
I suspect that the PE-TL10 partitioning is different divided than in the Chinese PE-TL10.

[Q] How to get Lollipop on Honor 6 (L04)?

There are now tons of threads detailing a myriad of methods of getting L on Honor 6. As far as I can tell
You cannot get CM12
You can somehow get 5.1 + EMUI3.1
So can anyone post the correct links to where I can get L? I am currently running CM11, and I have a custom recovery, so flashing is ok for me.
I already replied to you in another thread. Check it.

Download B309 package.
Flash over B374.
Go further down to B109SP01 from B309.
Update to B115.
Update to B500 with this update. zip.
You'll get B500 version if you are in India and not B507. I don't know the reason but that's what happened to me and few other people. I'm back to B374 as this ROM is buggy for daily usage. India will also be releasing lollipop update soon so I suggest it's better to stay away from this. While on the other hand Malaysia has also started updating to Lollipop, that update is over B380, update file is not uploaded by anyone yet.

Hi, thanks for replying.
If huawei is indeed releasing updates, I can wait. But can you tell me if the update will rewrite my recovery? I will certainly give this a shot if I can do a restore of my current ROM from recovery.
Sent from my Honor 6 using XDA Free mobile app
It's difficult to come back to EMUI 3.0 I have tried that so I'm telling you. You should wait for 2-3 days as Lollipop is coming soon. And yes there is a different recovery in Lollipop.
There is no cwm available for it. So coming back is not as easy as jumping from 3.0 to 2.3

Motorola doesn't post firmware images?

Am I missing something here? The only android phones I used were Nexus 5 and OnePlus one, both which provided full firmware images for each update. However, all I find with Motorola is the original firmware 5.1.1, some have 6.0 found on xda.
I understand that when rooted, OTA updates do not work. So each time there is an update is the only choice to restore to 5.1.1 and OTA update to the new firmware? This seems like such a pain having to reset everything each time. Is there an easy way to update rooted stock?

Do not update from an older system version to a newer via OTA if you have done it before, in most cases it will hardbrick your phone (happened to my Moto G1 and my friends G3)

FRD-L09C432 from B320 (beta) to B360, OTA ?

Hey guys.
I'm in the beta program. Looks like i cannot see the new firmware on HiCare and also in system update. Some tester found a way to upgrade through official channel or we have to wait for some reasons ?
OTA B360 for FRD-L09C432B320 is released!
Yeah i know
Problem is that my phone has not yet found any update yet.

If you cant find in HiCare on "OS update early" than rollback to B131 and check again. I made it now just to test this way because i was already on B360 using Charles and i found the update.
A rollback ? Sound like to much of an hassle to me. I just want to update the phone normally.
i'll wait a bit.
For me it work via Settings / System Update.
System Update found 360 - while Hicare could not.
I was on 320 (beta)

It's nothing that hard, you just need to force update two dload folders and thats all. After you can do the update normally.
Guys, let's try to concentrate all the questions and info in one thread!
Honor 8 Android 7.0 + EMUI 5 oficial released!

Which updsate should I install on my mate 7... if possible

Sorry for this question, but this is the first time I use a Huawey phone, and I usually get only unbranded models (I've got LG G2, Xiaomi redmi 3, redmi note 3, LG G4...)
I've just received a Mate 7 L09 (dual sim) unfortunately with brand TIM, italian service provider (I don't know how deep the customization is...) and it never received any firm update (and I think it will never receive them!): it is still on KK 4.4.2 emui 3.0.
It is from MT7-L09V100R001C00B series and the version is 136SP01.
Do You think it would be possible to install somehow an unbranded firm? I would like to install at least LP (the best would be MM)
Take care that this is a company mobile phone, so, it would be nice NOT to unlock it
Thanks for the help and let me know if I have to provide more info.

HI birobiro,
You can visit this site: http://www.carbontesla.com/firmware-ota-section/huawei-firmware-ota-collection/huawei-ascend-mate-7-firmware-ota/ for a collection of all Mate 7 Roms
From Kitkat, you have to update to B127 first, then B328 and then Marshmallow if you want. Click on the download page you will have instructions how to update
By the way, I'm on 136sp1, does it mean that the version that may be installed can be 126 (smaller one)? And the update can be done through the usual way (float folder) or there is a different method?
Inviato dal mio HUAWEI MT7-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
Sorry, 127...
Inviato dal mio HUAWEI MT7-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
so you can process to B328. if you get error, try a smaller version of Lollipop
That's fine! Does the update have to be done in the standard way, or there is something special that I have to do/care?
Inviato dal mio HUAWEI MT7-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
Standard Mate 7 is easy to update as it should have standard recovery to do it, as long as correct sequence of ROMs are used you can go all the way to Marshmallow and newer is better.
BTW, you need to be clear of which phone you have. Dual SIM is not L09, it's TL10.
Is the phone gold coloured? Does it have 2Gb of RAM or 3Gb? L09 is 2 and TL10 is 3. Only TL10 was gold.
