Huawei released B927SP02 development firmware for the Ascend Mate about 3 weeks ago as we reported here – http://huaweinews.com/2014/06/ascend-mate-b927sp02/. B927SP02 was based on the Android 4.2.2 and Emotion UI 2.0. B927SP02 was the first firmware update to feature, Emotion UI 2.0 for Ascend Mate. That might be the reason why Huawei marked B927SP02 as a development firmware. But things have changed and after about 2 weeks of releasing that firmware, Huawei has now released the finished stable version with Emotion UI 2.0 and Android 4.2.2.
B929 is the latest and greatest official firmware available for Huawei Ascend Mate MT1-U01. Huawei doesn’t always mark its firmwares for Chinese region as stable ones, but for this one they did and we think B929 should be really stable for Huawei to mark it as it is. Here are the quick facts,
Model Name – Ascend Mate MT1-U01
Firmware version – B929
Android version – 4.2.2
Emotion UI version – 2.0
Region – China Unicom
Languages included – English,Chinese..
Google Apps included – No
Update size – 665MB
If you already have B927SP02 running on your Ascend Mate, there won’t be any visual changes to the operating system. B929 includes the bug fixes and performance improvements to B927Sp02. And if you are running B927SP02 you should definitely consider upgrading to this version.
Google apps isn’t included in this firmware but Google Apps will be retained during the installation if you already have Google Apps installed on your Ascend Mate.

Another download link please?
Send me your email I will send you the .zip File.
Please send to me the .zip file.
Below the picture of the phone you can see 4 buttons. when you click on the link in this page, it automatically takes you to the first button from left side, just push the second button which means STABLE and that’s the link to the ROM mentioned in this page.

Hi
thanks for your help, I already installed the new update on my Huawei ascend mate, works good, but I would like to know how to make apps like youtube or google services to work on it. thanks again for your help…
Best regards.
Myke…
I installed b929 update on ascend mate and working good. But i dont see google apps in this version. i had google apps installed in my previous version.pls let me know how can i install google apps now.
Such a great favor of Huawei for us!
Devices with lower hardware or the same (P6) get Kitkat & higher EMUI, and they want us happy with 4.2.2!
The only reason to leave Huawei is its POOR software support.
agree!
This is the reason I do not and will never recommend my friends to buy any Huawei product. I am going to resell my huawei even though it has very very low resale value. I have worst experience with this ascend mate and huawei.
absolutely correct brother. Huawei should learn & respect their customers with software support like any other brand . the way Huawei has totally neglected & dumped this 2013 flagship phone Huawei Ascend Mate… i for one am never going to purchase nor recommend Huawei to any one ever again.
languages ? turkish ?
we aren’t sure about Turkish
Only chinese
I like its permission manager:-) New modren huawei has this app so that its security is as high as iphone:-)
and EUI 2.0 has a higher software function than Sansung:-)

Hello
I was wondering when will a international release happen to Mate? Or can one use B929 in a Swedish Mate? I live in Sweden and a bit worried about updating to B929.

du behöver inte vara rädd för att prova
tycker du denna rom är kass
kan du bara ladda ner b221 romen och lägga över
update apk i dload mappen på minneskortet och göra
en local update bara tänk på att radera b929 romen först
mvh micke
KITKAT for MATE please… Huawei! you are very very slow. :/ Because of no upgrade to Kitkat firmware i am going to resell ascend mate even though it has very low resale value. And I will never ever buy any product of huawei in my life. Worst experience
My HAM includes NFC on original 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 (Russian).
But this rom doesn’t show that!?
Great support of Huawei!
Imposible ham dont hawe nfc
Do you want me send a screen shot for you?
Give me your e-mail.
guess no possibility to show the screen shot here.
Pleas do my email is
mmdart@hotmail.com
Pleas do (mmdart@hotmail.com)
Still no image on nfc
Or maby you was wrong
Nope.
Because of flashing two different Roms & issues we have while flashing, I delayed a little bit.
I uploaded them here to be possible for everybody to see.

Eight first pictures belong to Russian 907 & other four belong to 927 developers edition.
At your service if any questions!
دوستان این عکس از گوشی بنده با قابلیت NFC
Something fishy is going on
Huawei support say no ascend mate got nfc thy lookt at your pics and say you flashed arom from another device so you got the option in the menue but you still havent nfc becors thers no nfc chip in the device
I don’t like the way you talk, because I’m not gonna sell this device to you or anybody else, so there is no reason or benefit for me to lie.
This is my device and I was sharing my problem with others if they could help me with that.
I could capture a film of my device, but nothing changes.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, that’s it.
Im not the one calling you a lier
Huawei is an no i woldent like your phone looks like a fake
So just chill
I guess Huawei (and other companies as well) make the same name phones for different countries.
In Iran, there’s no HAM including NFC, so maybe mine (bought in Dubai) was built for (maybe) some European countries!
It is great to get Huawei ascend mate 4.4 kitkat version:-)
i expect to get:-) 
pleasezzzzzzzz:-)

Yes. Just backup your existing google apps and install this ROM. Restore the google apps after flashing and it should working fine.

Thanks.
Estan seguros que las gapps se mantienen? desde la B907???
Yo no estoy tan seguro
Gps problems works 1 time off 10
Everithing else works grate
Screw you dear Huawei
Hello Again
I decided to install this update. I have discovered two things. Even though Ascend Mate shouldn’t have NFC it did. But I didn’t use it at all. They have removed NFC function with this update. The second thing I discovered is that the HAM contacts the Wi-Fi network at home much faster then before. There is a bit bad news as I have readed and that is HUAWEI seems to be like. The first Mate has they lost interest in. This something I think will be a bad thing for HUAWEI. Since many who buy there smartphone will go to other to buy there smartphone. Even I have plans to buy a Samsung next time I buy a new smartphone since the one I have now will probably never get a newer version of Android. But it is sad that they there old phone like dirt and the new ones a bit better until they lose interest in them too.

can you give me a download link?
Can I upgrade this frimware on B907 frimware?
I Had upgraded to this firmware but the Screen resolution after this looks too big compared to the version that we have been using.
Do we have a fix for this !Cheers
After upgrade to B929 all my contacts cannot be sync via google account.
i think this is not a stable version to upgrade!!
Huawei please do something about it!!
Hi Derrick ,
The same thing happen to me and i am not able to sync my contacts via google account.is there any option to do that
Hi Shiras,
Huawei still not answering, I revert back to older version B907.
Don’t know what is Huawei as a company doing this to their customers.
Well look at this point they will lose alot of customers!!
CEO of Huawei are you sleeping…..?
I wrote a petition on a website and I ask everybody to join it.
Maybe we can force Huawei to give HAM a nice KK update.
Here is the link:

grate. butt huawei even stoped awnserin emails
so i dont think thy care
hi~please sent me another download link!! this china link is suck!! TQ TQTQTQ
I’m having more issues with this version than with B927SP02. for example the notification bar loses its transparency after reboot, also the wallpaper keeps getting off center and every single time I reboot the phone, there’s a pop-up saying Android is updating.
I think i’m going back to B927SP02.
Hello Everybody
I have to say that I think it is stupid that Ascend P6 which has the same CPU gets updated to KitKat. But not Ascend Mate. How stupid is that?

Christer Wickman
Hi Team
Despite multiple reminder mails asking for an update your Support team have not been able to provide an answer whether or not we will receive an International Firmware Release.
Wake up Huawei and live up to your expectations what guarantee do your local customer get if i had to purchase a new product now and that later realize after few months that new phone would be in the same state like Ascend mate and not get any updates whatsoever.
Wake up and live to your expectations for giving us one off the best phones Ascend mate
Cheers lol !

Hello everybody,
this version lacks all the Google apps, Google play is missing so you can not download the apps you are used to. Since June I use the B907 version of 4.2.2 which is stable. Dutch version works fine, do not know of other languages.

please give me 4.2.2 version

Why we cnt online update.damn u.with this support
What’s with the arrogance & no customer / software support Huawei ? As mobile company this is a very bad strategy. The world of cellphones is getting smarter & competitive day by day. With this cold attitude Huawei will run in to the ground very fast.
As every one has been shouting their hearts out …… wake up Huawei … Ascend Mate is a quad core 2 GB Ram phone … it deserves Android update to at least kit kat 4.4 if not Lollipop 5.0.
Pls expedite & push an OTA Update.
You are so right. its so annoying my MT1 cant use alot of andriod apps cos i cant upgrade from 4.1
Just updated it everything work fine but just wifi not working. It just says authentification problem. Anyone can help plzzz
hi,first,thank you,

and upgrade my device and i enjoyed of that,until i went to open my Gmail or google play store! they didn’t work!!what do i do?
pls send to me the .zip file
