I need a way to install gapps to this official fw..please help

You can simply search for play store and play services .apk files on the net and install it like any other app, there is no need to use custom recovery mode. Once in play store, then you can install the rest of the apps like gmail, maps and others.

You need to put the UPDATE.APP in a folder named "dload" and then do the update

No, it is 4.2. I understand I have to put there, in some mysterious way, the leaked 4.4, but God, I already spent a lot of time battling it. it was much easier with my previous HTC :)

Some functions and the overall usage of the phone has been improved but not everyone is satisfied from the KK so it's all up to you if you buy this phone whether you gonna use it with JB or KK.

    Hey, guys! Has anyone seen this rom: 2014/3/25 Share Huawei Ascend P6 telecommunications EMUI2.0 Androi4.4.2 card brush streamlined package _ ‖ ‖ ‖ stable?

    I know it's for the P6-C00, but the OP in the thread said (according to my understanding) that the Unicom version can also flash this.
    I haven't tried it yet, but I'll do so when I have some time.

    EDIT: Ok, so I did a dirty flash over EMUI2.3 beta, and so far, my external SD isn't being read, and my back button isn't working either, and the Huawei keyboard, which is the only keyboard installed, keeps giving an error. I'll have to try a clean install later to see if it makes a difference.

    Maybe this month. It is still in beta sadly.

    BB

    A stable Chinese version at least, on March, according to this chat screenshot with someone from Huawei:

    Please report did you put update on SD or in internal storage

    I put the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder on an SD card. Just finished with updating. It's rebooting and updating apps.
    Optimalisating apps.. 40/152... going to take some time..
