Ascend Mate and the Ascend P6 seems to be the only smartphones that Huawei cares about when releasing software updates to older devices. Just more than a month ago Huawei has released the first Android 4.4 KitKat development firmware for Ascend Mate as we reported right here – http://huaweinews.com/2015/01/ascend-mate-b321/. Eventhough B321 is a development firmware, people those who installed B321 on their devices haven’t reported any considerable issues with it except that they had to enter the APN manually to make data connections work.
Since B321 is running very stable for the most of part, Huawei might have thought that they don’t have to take more time for another development firmwares. Instead they have now released the B331 firmware update which is marked as stable. Huawei has listed B331 on their Chinese firmware database but no changelog is provided there so if you want to see what has been changed you are out of luck here.
However we recommend you to install B331 on your Ascend Mate if you are running B321 at the moment. Eventhough this firmware release doesn’t carry a changelog, Huawei specifically mentions that you must be running B321 already to upgrade to this B331 firmware or your device might brick.
Here are the details of this B331 firmware,
Model – Ascend Mate MT01-U06
Firmware version – B331
Android version – 4.4
EMUI version – 3.0
Stage – Stable
Region – China
Google Apps included – No
Languages – English,Chinese,..
Size – 849MB
Download link and release page, you have to click the “Stable” tab to view this firmware (Chinese, use Chrome to translate) – http://goo.gl/Pw5KzO

Thank You Huawei for this new update , hope this one does not have the many bugs B221 had. Further why not Includes GAAPS in zip file and make it International version ?
and I feel so ashamed (???) asking Huawei to why not put these updates OTA ? Its like I am asking for some favors ..
This is an OTA update, you can try to scan for update.
no bro been constantly checking for OTA updates nothing showing up here. BTW i am still on B221 & from Pakistan, could that be the reason I am not getting this update OTA ??
Huawei specifically mentions that you must be running B321 already to upgrade to this B331 firmware an OTA
I’m still waiting for this shit in Europe…
Installed, but few problems here and there.
#The Mobile data section in settings is not opening and exits with an error that com.android.phone stopped .
#The Motion control is not showing anything, its blank!
#I can’t select a different wallpaper for the lock screen, it only shows the home wallpaper!
These are the one’s I found, hope will be solved soon in another update!

Thanks buddys
I am running into the same problem, after upgrading to B331, my physical RAM memory drops to 580 Mb and my available memory is less than 150 Mb. To go back to B930 EUI2.0, you need to downgrade to a transitional B500 package and after that you can install back to B930 EUI2.0. Here’s the link to the chinese website download http://dl.vmall.com/c0l4zxyndh, when you go back to B930, it will wipe out everything so make sure you back up your data.
their server is sooo low its taking tooo long to download.
hi when you want new update of android for g 750 u10 we wating ……….
please
this is not of way for customer realashion management
There is no improvement , the motion control setting is still empty and u still can’t get any notifications on lock screen
can anybody share link for GAAPS ?
B331 is a better build than B321. Location services with wifi is working again. But i agree that i don’t think Huawei should have labeled it as stable yet. Motion control is not showing yet and apps reload on opening even though you have not shut them down before. But overall…a pretty good build to install.
for eman:
it’s not possible to downgrade at android 4.2. install b321, it’s very good

How to fix the google maps crash.
I have tried many things , as mentioned in precious ota update blogs.
But still cannot make it work.
Its a one most important app ….
I installed uninstalled latest version and installed
com.google.android.apps.maps-8.3.1-803010624-minAPI18.apk
from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-8-3-1-android-apk-download/
Now it started working.
Then from googe play , update to latest.
While launching if some app error comes, ignore it and proceed. Now it starts working.
Again if you experience the crash, clean the maps data from application menu and relaunch maps.
It should probably work.
If still does not work, repeat from above again
except for de chinese default apps this update is the best so far…the battery life increased a lot the only problem I have was thecontact sync from google mail which I resolved downloading the googlecontactsync.apk
I recommend before installing with the huawei backup app make a backup of the playstore and your apps to avoid the problems many people have of not having the gapps
