Two-thirds of March is over already and we are yet to see the release of long awaited Android KitKat firmware for the Huawei Ascend P6 smartphone. Huawei initially promised to deliver it in January but last time we checked the time frame then extended to March. Even though we thought Android 4.2.2 firmware development cycle is over for P6 with the last B125 firmware, it seems like there is still some development going on for jelly bean firmwares.
Yesterday a firmware numbered as B132 was leaked on the internet and B132 said to be the successor to B125 firmware which was released almost 4 months ago. http://huaweinews.com/2013/12/ascend-p6-b125-firmware/. Ascend P6 owners were raging on the interwebs for Android KitKat and another Android 4.2.2 firmware leak leads us to wonder if Huawei will be late again to deliver the KitKat update to the users. However getting back to topic, here are some details of this newly leaked B132 firmware
Firmware version – B132
Android version – 4.2.2
Region – Europe
Google Apps Included – Yes
Kernel version – 3.0.8-00795
Emotion UI – 1.6
Download link - http://dl.huaweinews.com/Roms/Ascend-P6/B132.zip
B132 firmware includes few bug fixes and performance improvements over the previous stable B125 firmware but some users reported that battery drain is little bit high than the B125. If you are running B125 firmware right now we recommend you to install this new firmware and if you face any problems you can always roll back to B125
Manual update is done by the default Huawei method and if you don’t know how, this is the guide for you – http://huaweinews.com/2013/08/ascend-p6-official-firmware-upgrade-guide/

Salam fekr konam ke dare zabane farsi
Guess that when new android 5.0 comes out, huawei will get b135 firmware update…
how to find out my firmware version??
When kitkat release……. if u not released then give up now this month and says to me….or other users that cant be released kitkat for p6….. so i canged my device…… now tell me when kitkat internationally release give a one confirmed date…. thankx…. i not need b132
Downloaded and installed it. Battery drains a little quicker than B125, but other than that, it’s all good
Huaweinews , 31/12/2020 :
“Ascend P6 B654 Official Firmware Leaked”
“2020 is over already and we are yet to see the release of long awaited Android KitKat firmware…”
I’m waiting KitKat as you but I agree with Huawei’s update policy… If KK has any real probs (i’ve read some press articles about excessive battery drain and so on) I think that it’s better for us (and for Huawei public image, of course) wait a little bit more, until all probs or mistakes are completely solved and we can update our P6s safely, w/out hassles…
You don’t think so…?
Finally sold my p6 for 80€. I hate this shitwei no update. Got samsung note 3. Never buy chinese shit.
congrats now you have Vietnamese shit
You are missing the point: support and updates ! Not the manufacture location is the difference but the approach on the customers issues. After giving my ascend p6 as a gift i bought a sgs4 black edition. I learned that samsung listened to its customers claims about the cheep look of plastic used. Then they have released the black edition with a bit more premium look – google it. This is what i mean CUSTOMER on the first plan. Huawei was an interesting experience but from the bottom of my heart i would not recommend it…☺
i have samsung tab 3 and it never got kitkat 4.4 since 12 months it is first debuted. so dont complain. even samsung s3 cant handle 4.4 kitkat where others can do it ….
highly recomended
Nice
much faster better gps possitioning but battery goes faster
shitwei hhhh i like that
Ok, a new 4.2 update…
im sooooo tired…
im waiting in few day for upcoming Android 4.4 kit kat for p6 ……im install b132 but have few bug..please waiting for 4.4kitkatt
Is it safe if i update mu B105 version directly to this one?
I really hate Huawei, its really a fake chinese company … why they have given updates in only china region why not international ..we are waiting snice november last year …dont trust Huawei words anymore ..T_T
So you can hate a lot of companies, dear…
My son has a Galaxy3 (JB 4.2) and Note 2 with Android 4.3… And continue waiting for official KK updates…
If you continues hating so hard, in the end you could finish with a “wood terminal”… made by yourself, of course.
Your son wins.
No, P6 owners win. I didn´t read well.
this will be the last time i will buy your product huawei!how similar is the month of January to march april may june july …….for you to say there will be an update! next time ill buy a smartphone your not on my list anymore!
Can I use this ROM update for ASCEND P6 S ????
So hi i am new to this thing i have only 3g internet and i live in finland and do you recommend to me install this update for this phone
I said once: huawei lied to their customers. This is the respect they show to the ones who gave them the credit when they bought a “Huawei”. Then i decided to never buy this brand again. Seeing kitkat is not even now released i understood a correct choice i made when i bought my new sgs4. Unfortunately it was the only option i had; fortunately once i powered up the device for the very first time i felt the difference – kitkat update available as they rolled out as scheduled. Lesson learned , even i hate samsung for many reasons i have to admit they are indeed the best till now.
I will never ever buy Huawei again !!!! you promise us that we will get Kitkat update last January! what date is it today? it is already march end of month! guys never trust a company that doesn’t keep their promises!
U r correct my freind ..even i will sell my p6 … Huawei chinese compy is fake …
Huawei has lost credit when promised a 4.2 update for the P1.
It seems that the P6 takes the same path!!!!
Dear huawei have any special firmware for Indian region Support Indian language .I need Tamil India system language pls give link .am live n KUWAIT
salam man alan panel elanam khalieh,chikar konam
Why is everybody obsessed with the latest version of Android? What mind-blowing change do you expect from your Kitkat phone?
the problem is not kitkat but yes the false promises from the huawei
Nothing much, but this is about principle.
safer, faster, better optimized, much stable, less memory used and the list can continue. However we all want kitkat because we like to move forward not backward if the technology is available.
When is HUAWEI gonna fix the god damned Wi-Fi problems in P6? It keeps dropping all the time, it really sucks.
Hi, I had the same problem and I had to replace the phone. I had B117 firmware on the one which had problems with WiFi. So, perhaps the FW update can help you. I replaced it for the new one which has the B113 FW and WiFi is working fine but it has some other less frustrating issues.
i can’t find this update anywhere. i doesn’t show up on my p6’s system update or in hisuite. could someone explain to me what i need to do?

Now available kitkat for international yaoooo… thankx huawwi
i have stopped buying Huawei mobiles as they are not true to their committments .. they announced that they will upgrade P6 for kitkat 4.4 since Last year nov 2013 ..But still nothing happened …so buy branded mobiles which are true to the customers with their committments.
Why did huawei not give this firmware B132 true OTA
if its an official firmware update because my system
cant find any new updates so this information is a joke
ofcourse you can installed it manually but fuck that i want it OTA!!!!!
Agreed!!! I do not understand this shitty policy as well!
Manual update is so easy. Direct links to many firmware versions on this site makes everything even easier. Please, stop moaning. It is getting boring.
Heads up! Just checked the P6 updater, and it dinged a update to B132!
Showing release day of April 3 of all things!
Install is easy. Thx
installed and running well B132.
My suggestion download kitkat china version and install on b132, its the smoothest and fastest I had ever seen in andriod, I wishto complain about that earlier as I m also an international p6 owner but after I test and run on my devise I love my p6 more than bfore, its become more beautiful with better emotion UI, whatever I have to install two OS same time the main thing is I can show everyone that my p6 is more beautiful then others thanks to Huawei
Todos queremos 4.4.2 para nuestros p6 pero nada hacemos con quejarnos entre nosotros mismos, lo que debemos hacer es bombardear con emails a huawei para que nos bajen de una vez la actualización. Así que manos a la obra. Si alguien sabe de algún correo que vaya directamente a la compañía que lo publique.
hola, alguien me ayuda un momento?
Haters gonna hate..install b506 and gapps and stop crying like kids…there are so much custom roms too..so stop crying and enjoy your slim beautiful smartphone..
I have alreday Installed KitKat 4.4.2 but I can’t c google play, but just App Center which is all in Chinese
