We know about the huge anticipation Ascend P1 users had for a stable Android Jelly Bean update . Ascend P1 is the most popular Huawei smartphone around for now and ironically Huawei has been missing out on firmware updates for it. Huawei’s facebook page is flooded with users asking for a update.
Wait no more, Huawei has just released a stable Jelly Bean for the Ascend P1. This new update is numbered as B336 and said to include many optimizations and changes. We know most of you are running Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich and this is the right time to upgrade your Ascend P1.
This B336 update is based on Android 4.1.1 ,Kernel version 3.0.31 and some of key features of this update are,
* Performance Optimizations
* Longer Battery Life
* FM Radio
* Emotion UI 1.5
* Camera problems fixed
* Bluetooth hotspot support
* GPS issues fixed
If you are already on B315 firmware, you can flash this new B336 firmware directly by downloading it from the link below
But if you are on any other firmware version, you need to flash a separate update called “Intermediate Pack” first and then you can flash the B335 update on your Ascend P1.
Download Link – http://dl.huaweinews.com/Roms/Ascend-P1/B336-update.zip
After extracting the downloaded file, you will find a Microsoft Word document, explaining how to update if you don’t already know about it and there will be 2 folders containing the update and the “IntermediatePack” update. As previously advised, flash the “IntermediatePack” first if you aren’t already on the B315 firmware.

when update for the LTE version?
It’s not official…it’s fan made and still a beta
Hi Huawei, are we able to get any news of whether if there is an update for P1 LTE version? At least a yes or no answer would not keep users like us checking back the site everyday. Thanks!
Not yet but you can expect it soon
I beg you, I need to go back to my original version P1, telling me how you could help?
Download the official firmware from Huawei and do the downgrade by default Huawei way.
Great news. Flashing it right now
Hi, why after the update the cam in 8 mb pixel show the monitor in 4/3 and not in Wide screen? Thk
Hey, I’m on Wind Mobile any update as to when the update will be available for operator locked phones
I just spoke with Huawei customer service and they said that they don’t have any plan to bring JB to P1….. Hauwei’s only down side.
Does the phone have to be rooted to apply this update.
No
Thanks, I have installed without issue. Easy to follow and a massive improvement on icecream sandwich.
Thanks
I beg you, I need to go back to my original version P1, telling me how you could help?

How root B336 firmware?
try our guide on that
Help!?
Root B336 firmware.
their guide won’t work
there is not enough free space on the system partition to copy superSU app … You must flash TWRP recovery and delete some .apk in /system/app to do so 
Ok.
Im new in this stuff and I dont know do flash twrp or do other steps.
Some link to explain do that?
But thanks anyway,tom
Love this update and this phone they are brilliant , this brand and sony are the only manufacturers i would use but emotion ui interface is by far the best i have used smooth fast uncluttered well designed. I have only 1 bug hopefully will be fixed also was present in b316 the sound will stop working sometimes after using the camera
Otherwise brilliant!
Hi, is this a pure JB upgrade or include with Huawei Emui ?
Thanks.
its official Huawei EMUI chinese release
what about root for this b336……i didnt see in guide.
Where can i see B315 firmare on my p1? Please give me instruction. Thanks!
The B336 is far better than the old B102 I was using. My only problem is I cannot set a ringtone for a contact. I add another field and select ringtone but it will only allow default.
Wi-Fi not woking after update!
is there a fix or should i reverse back? how?
My Wi-Fi works perfect with B336.
I downloaded the version of this website.
Where files for downgrade back to normal ICS version B229?
Hi, How do I update my phone to Jelly Bean. I just brought the phone and it says the build number is B929. I am confused.
try updating it from the settings menu. navigate to software upgrade
Tried Updating but it show no latest update. For your information I am based in india and mine Build Number is B929
Awesome upgrade! Congratulations. The UI is so beautiful!!! The only problem I have now is sometimes the keyboard doesn´t work in the browser. I can type but nothing appears in blank spaces that have to be filled in. I tried both the custom keyboard and Swype and also the custom browser and Chrome. Please check it out.
Hi! Is this update same as the update in http://en.ui.vmall.com/downloadp1.html, Jellybean+EMUI 1.5?
no thats the B315 update
How do I download more themes to my ascend p1?
When can we get update for P1?
Hi, has someone tried the bluetooth hotspot, ´cause i ´ve tried but still not connect to other devices…
My version is U9200-1V100R001CHEC123B100, which is not listed on the compatible versions at the end of the .doc document with the upgrade files. Does this mean I can have problems updating?
Thank you
You should upgrade to a later version first
So the intermediate pack is not enough? I should find another version? Do you happen to have a link for any website about it (with the file to download)?
Thank you so much.
why dont you update it by going in to the software update menu on settings?
But if my version is not supporter, could it brick the phone or get it unusable? I’m afraid of trying and ending up with no phone… :S
Sorry, misread what you wrote. It says I don’t have any updates available. I’m trying to download the firmware from http://en.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3909&extra=page%3D1, but it is taking ages to download 1GB (max speed w/ dl manager is around 20 KB/s)!!!
If I update through the sd card, could I get my phone unusable?
Thank you so much.
Hi,
Pls let us know when can we get jb update for p1 LTE??? Very disappointed!
The camera of my P1 ascend is not working now.. error message: camera cant connect!
I already did a hard reset, same error message. Please help. Do i need to download something?? Please let me know asap. Thanks

There is a higher possibility of Huawei releasing an official update soon
Turkey when the official update 4.2.2. B336 is nice but still in beta
how to downgrade because when i want to downgrade and begin with the IntermediatePack it say vesion list verfiy fail
I just downgraded back to ICS b229. JB b336 was too buggy. The most annoying was horrible GPS signal. It was so uselessly weak. After downgrade its a bit better now. At least it locks signal and doesnt lose it so easely. Im very disappointed with P1 because my previous phone was Huawei G300 what was nice budget phone.
how did you downgrade
Bro help me how to downgrade
@Aj: How to downgrade to B229 from B336.
Make sure your battery is at Least at 80%!
I’m not responsible for any bricked phones! (but that’s not going to happen of course).
1. Download intermediate pack B123.
2. Make new folder on your SD-card and call it ”dload”
3. Place the UPDATE.APP file in the dload folder.
4. Go to settings, about phone, system updates and then press local update.
5. Execute the update (you can backup if you want to).
6. Wait until the update is finished. Now you have the B123 firmware on your device, but we want B229.
7. Download the B229 firmware.
8. Go to your dload file on your SD-card and delete the UPDATE.APP file.
9. Now put the UPDATE.APP file from the B229 firmware into the dload folder on your SD-Card.
10. Now go on your phone to settings, storage and press SD-card update. And execute the update.
11. Wait until the update is done.
12. Congratulations! Your downgrade is finished.
please help
Hi Everyone… Need help with my P1. I followed the instruction in the word doc and successfully flashed the intermediate pack but when I tried to update B336 it failed and now I am not able to boot. It just shows the Huawei logo.
Please help to revive my P1
Thank you very much.
There’s a method to force update your ascend P1. I bet you will find out if you search
I can not go back to the original version by “downgrade” the device rejects the “intermediatepack”… I need help to determine whitch is the problem!!!
I have a CM 10.2 rooted P1. There is no option to install this new B706 via the storage settings. CWM/TWRP Recovery don’t work either because they require a flashable zip ROM and this file for the B706 is a .app file. The force update doesn’t work either.
How I can I possibly flash this B706 .app file to my CM 10.2 rooted P1? Any suggestions?
hi…ive upgraded to 4.1.1 JB using ur instructions and the fone works perfectly with full functionality
thanx for a fantastic upgrade…

Can I use your website as a source?

I believe you can install Arabic separately. And yes there might be an another version of jellybean

Hola admin disculpa soy muy bruto en esto ya descargue todo y lo coloque en la sd el archivo del intermedia pack pero voy a configuracion>estado del telefono>actualizacion en linea, y no me reconoce la actualizacion y en el archivo word habla de actualizacion local y eso no esta en mi celular gracias por tu ayuda
I have upgraded to this version. My only problem is it consumes twice/thrice the power more than ver. 229 ics.
Now my real problem is I am not able to downgrade. The error msg is “version list verify fail”
Also, I am not able to root my phone.
Can someone help me on both the issues, please?
did you try flashing intermediate pack(b123) first?,after that you will be able to flash any version
I used the following link and was able to successfully downgrade back to ver. 229.

Can we get final date for P1 4.2 update
Why is this title about official update if it’s not the official update?
it´s a shame almost one year with a beta firmware
someone know if the MHL works with this ROM?
Thanks
Does this work on U9200 B229?
yes
Hi, admin, Any date for the P1 lte jelly bean or above update?
We’ve all been very patient, but are getting very anxious now.
Thank you.
Hello,
When -if ever- is there going to be an update for the P1 LTE?
I think the phone is excellent but the support for it leaves a lot to be desired. In fact it,pretty much,stinks.
Just try finding a case for it…
