Try using huawei update extractor, extract recovery,cache,boot,system,userdata image and then send to phone via fastboot .You can see step by step procedure in other thread ..
Extract B370 recovery and flash it.

already done but nothing; I think the latest CyanogenMod writes files that are not removed by the installation with Update.app, and the relock bootloader fails... @codeworkx know how to help me? I have to eliminate something "manually" created by CyanogenMod? Thanks!
PS: Solved!! i flashed already cwm recovery and i wipe all(system,data,cache,dcache), i re-flashed stock recoveryi have started force update wit update.app and work!!
Sorry for my bad english..

I'am using latest cm 11, and facing the same problem but finally I can revert back to emui 3 B370 via the method that I've explained.. and no need to relock bootloader

CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4.4 (Kitkat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

Code:
#include 
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 *
 * Submitting bug reports on nightly builds is the leading 
 * cause of male impotence.
 */

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

READ BEFORE FLASHING!
  • These builds are NOT official and will never be!
  • Do not submit bug on CyanogenMod issue tracker


HOW TO INSTALL CM?
  • Unlock your bootloader else flashing via fastboot will be impossible
  • Upgrade your phone to the latest available stock rom (to get latest bootloader and baseband firmware)
  • Download ClockworkMod Recovery for your specific variant
  • Download CyanogenMod for your specific variant
  • Download Google Apps
  • Copy CyanogenMod and Google Apps zips to your external sdcard
  • Flash ClockworkMod Recovery via fastboot. (fastboot flash recovery cwm-6.0.5.1_h60_lXX.img)
  • Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery
  • Do a Data wipe / Factory reset (otherwise CM will not boot into GUI)
  • Flash CyanogenMod zip
  • Flash Google Apps zip
  • Reboot and Enjoy

If you're getting error messages while trying to flash the CyanogenMod zip, THEN FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.
Especially the part where it says "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".
The ClockworkMod Recovery you've got from somewhere else is FAULTY!!!

If your device doesn't boot into CM, reboot to Recovery, goto "Mounts & Storage" and select "Format cache" followed by "Format /data and /data/media". Then reboot!

DEAR KANGERS
If you're going to reuse our work, which we're doing for free, be fair and give proper credits.
This is the only payment we're really demanding and we deserve it to be mentioned because of the countless hours we've put into this project.
Open-Source doesn't meant Out-of-Respect!!!

Thanks to all contributors!!!

Is there a 4.4.4 stock rom available or just those 4.4.2 builds?

Like i've already said. Google releases new android versions and huawei can't update because they've done to much changes. (4.4.2 -> 4.4.4 is just a very light update)
Seems every manufacturer has to go that painfull route to learn what others have learned years ago.
Don't think that this phone will live for a long time.

No, currently only Huawei Ascend G7 got 4.4.4

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-ascend-g7-t2871908

I think that Honor 6 will surely get Lollipop and Huawei releases many updates stock, at this time is releasing many stable versions and developer. I do not think it will be short lived, perhaps only with CyanogenMod nothing will come, but do not think is a problem.
In all the forums that I watch many users continue to buy Honor 6 :eek:

I think if CyanogenMod wants to grow it must not only develop Qualcomm and Exynos. I believe that the future is of Mediatek and Kirin, is inevitable.

Qualcomm and Exynos are powerful but heat up too, from what I read on Snapdragon 810, tell to be good to make fried eggs :D
That said, I really appreciate your temporary development of CyanogenMod to Honor 6

Thanks again!!!

Sorry for my bad english

Hardware dosn't support it.

yep. i've read that here in the forums, but was just hoping like using other sensors. currently I am using gravity screen app (proximity and gravity sensors) eating up around 6% juice. not that bad. but I would just like to see that kind of feature integrated in the system :D

btw, how to switch to a 720p display?

Just updates to fix their emui bloat.
Honor 6 got released with an outdated version of android and still has a super old version (4.4.2).

It's not up to us. Qualcomm releases reference code and userspace drivers for their platform. That's the reason for being well supported and popular.
Hisilicon didn't release a single line of code yet.

Has anyone tried contacting Hisilicon support? It looks like they have some kind of portal there but it's "login walled".

I sure hope that they would start from scratch with lollipop and clean all the crap. I guess that there is a chance that things will be better.

Cheap phone with high end specs, did we hope for cheaper faster better?

Sure something will give (in this case, strange software implementation and poor RAM access speed). But EMUI is not bad, just annoyingly propriety, but not in a good enough way that ppl are willing to endure it.

Hopefully they will improve. For me I bought this cheap because my LG G2 died before my carrier plan expired, but thanks to all the good folks here and OP, it's running a lean mean CM, not perfect, but usable! :D

    New build is up.

    - Fixed Torch
    - Fixed Bluetooth
    - Fixed media process crashing -> fixes sound issues
    19
    think i've fixed the garbled video thumbnails.
    but not just that.
    i've managed to clean the whole interface between libmedia and framework up. means less hacks and more compat.

    no, i'm not trying to fool you.

    uploading new builds.
    @root-expert: make sure to use the latest manifest and sync.
    18
    have fun with the new builds (see opening post). ;)
