warea · Feb 3, 2014

This guide is using the older twrp rather than the newer TWRP built for kitkat.

It doesnt matter what version of TWRP this guide is using, the fact is IT IS SURE WAY TO FLASH B014 ON AN INTERNATIONAL ASCEND P6.

Stick to the guide to avoid bricking your phone.

Are u from B125 ?
B014 is Chinese firmware sure ?
Can u do dload Update from Intrenational firmware to the Chinese one without unlock bootloader?

amin-DESIRE-c · Feb 3, 2014

guys ... you mean it can break p6?
because i'm on B-125 and i want updating my phone with local update ... it can break?

NO, might just misbehave.

Yes u must be on B125 International and yes u can flash the modified Chinese firmware alongside the files by Team Fly.

I installed Kitkat yesterday with this method i didnt encounter any problems(excepting a bunch of apps closing when u first start your phone but once u start them for the second time they work without any issue).

From what i could tell from reading several pages of posts on the German forum, not even a single phone was bricked.

But i must warn u, the beta version of Kitkat isnt worth it:
1. It lacks immersive mode
2. It still uses Dalvik instead of ART

If u are going to update you are updating purely for Emui 2.3

It says Err2 flash or something like this.

First of all you are on B118. You need to be on B125 to flash kitkat.

You can only install twrp over unlocked firmware. So first you have to update to Kitkat beta (which is an unlocked firmware) the normal way through settings> local update,

Will this also work with Ascend Mate?
