[Q] Ascend P6 - No Google Play

Here is my story:

My Boss at work drunk one night ordered the P6 from China and it was delivered. To his surprise Google Play did not work.

Being a proud owner of 3 rooted devices with custom ROMS I offered my services to install a custom ROM on his P6 that would here in the UK.

However when using adb to boot into fasboot mode in order to flash a custom recovery nothing happened, I was left with a stuck logo screen.

The phones details are as follows:

kernel: 3.0.8-00796-g97d2208 jenkins@shdapci01 # 1

build: B113SP02

This particular build came with SuperSU already installed. I say already installed as I done a factory reset and it was still there.

I have copied over the beta kit kat zip in the hope that installing this from the stock recovery will help things, I need to wait for an sdcard though.

Am I going done the right path and if not could I be steered in the right path?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

So your saying that trying to update my current build through the stock recovery to the latest kit kat build is the way to go?

I cant actually push any recovery images to the device as fastboot mode fails to initialize, hence why I am hoping an official update through stock recovery and sd card may solve that problem.

My aim is to get the latest kit kat TWRP installed, back up the stock build, then install a custom ROM.

Ive been looking at various posts regarding the kit kat update and it makes reference to the B132 build and how its essential your on this first before updating to the B510 Kkit kat build.

Should I update to the B132 first?

That is a pain.........it will do for now I suppose......

I haven't heard of anyone else on here mentioning the B113 build, only B132 and so on...

Do you think this is an issue? Should I be updating to another build before trying B132?

Does the stock recovery need to match up with the OS build?
