I have a Huawei Ascend G7-01 with a rather unique CUST number i.e. CUSTC113D001. The ROM is WIND Italy. It has proved impossible to flash any official ROM for any other CUST number and there is no ROM (including the one running on the phone) available for download. How can I update the phone to Android 5.1.1 or 6.0 using an official package? I have attached screenshots. Here are the other details:
Bootloader: Unlocked (I was able to unlock it)
Root Status: Not rooted (I don't want to root yet since I'm looking for an official ROM)
Model Number: G7-L01 (NOT G760-L01, are they the same?)
Internal: 16GB
RAM: 2GB
Android Version: 4.4.4
EMUI Version: 3.0
Baseband Version: 11060009
Build Number: G7-L01V100R001C113B242
Custom Version: CUSTC113D001
I REALLY NEED TO UPDATE TO ANDROID 5.1.1 OR 6.0 . I was using the Infinix Hot 2 running Marshmallow so going back to KitKat is really frustrating
i think i have the exact same version of the G7-L01 which has evaded every method of upgrading to almost every type and build of lollipop till i bricked it about an hour prior to this reply. have you found a solution as yet?

Hello, i had the exact build number. after an tremendous decrease in performance and battery life, i had to take some steps, in the process i have also updated to android 7.1, so i hope to help everyone still using this phone with the same cust. There was no official way to do it, so i had to go unofficial, if you have a problem with that, stop reading. I am not in any way responsible for damages to the phone. The only reason why this might be different from other guides is that i experienced a rare issue that my phone did not know its model number. Furthermore, all roms are for G750-L01, or G760-L01, my device reported to be a G7-L01, thus no roms would flash.
The process i chose was to flash a custom rom, if you are familiar with the process continue to step 3.

I can Honestly say i have experienced a marginally better performance, the battery life has increased a lot though. If i have time, i will even be willing to assist anyone struggling with issues, with this phone via discord.

the serial number is mixed letters and numbers. while to get unlock code they say it must be either letters only or numbers only. very confusing
. I was using the Infinix Hot 2 running Marshmallow so going back to KitKat is really frustrating
