It is official and publicly released from Huawei, Android Lollipop 5.1 v. B309 get it here CLICK HERE
If you are already on B308, you will get the OTA update for B309.
Thank you Huawei for stepping up to the plate!
Interesting, there does seem to be at least some difference from the B308 leak and today's public B309 release. For one, themes no longer take a phone reset to apply.
Lollipop on the HAM2 is pretty slick, but there is quite a bit more skinning going on than with Jelly Bean so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. I personally think it's fantastic - overall usage and performance is every bit as fast as on Jelly Bean if not faster.

Hi Superbass.
I was on rooted and TWRP 308 beta. Applied 309 and kept root but lost TWRP. I am pretty sure TWRP needs an update. I messaged SHM.
I'm happy that everyone can get 5.1 now. If you're in the FUT it will still be used for testing. Stay active.
@kim I also lost twrp but retained root. I feel this could have been due to the msg on twrp first boot.
@SHM you may need to jump in here.

I'm waiting on the OTA B309 update.... If you are on B308, B309 will come OTA, only about a 48Mb Update.

Did you extract the B309.zip and place the "dload" folder in the root level of the SD card?

Yeah I extracted the B309.zip to the root of my SD card.. so it looks like I:\dload.. and I put it in my phone and hold the Volume Keys, press power, I get that install startup thing but then I immediately get "Software install failed!"

I read somewhere earlier today that if a phone is B126 then it is not CC.. i have B126 on my HAM2 so therefore assume I don't have a CC.

Who's your carrier and/or where did you buy it?
Huawei Ascend Mate 2 - Android 5.1 / EMUI 3.1
I won it online.. and it's unlocked.
Try re-downloading on your PC. Some of the test group had issues when using their phones to download. And, even if from a PC, some of us had issues with a corrupt download.
Okay well I am now unrooted, and I am at B148. I am still getting the same error. Can it be that my battery is below 50% ? I'm now redownloading B309.zip and going to extract it onto a newly formatted card, hopefully it works!

That should be enough battery but plug it in anyway. You should unzip the 309 and copy the dload folder to the root of your sd card. (Sorry if you already know all that.)

i just got this update too - anyone have a detailed spec of the update?
well i have just RUU'ed the phone to stock and doing the 1.17 update, I have noticed that when I unlocked the boot loader and rooted I lost the free EA games on it and a few stock apps that I put back on (except the ea free games), also got a lot of calender app errors, I hope this update sorts it. Also until the mods and stuff are more updated etc i will keep it unrooted, as I thought to myself why do i need it rooted as im not flashing roms every day etc.
Plus not having an external SD hurts every time as I have to remember to back up all the stuff before flashing etc >.> <.<

I tried to update my phone today and ran into an issue. It seems that when the phone reboots into recovery mode, it says that there is an error and forces me to find the download image manually. I looked to see if it was on the SD card and there was no luck there. Is it because the download itself is corrupted in some way, or is this a bigger issue than that? BTW my phone isn't rooted if that helps

Did you get the update OTA? If so you could try a factory reset, then re-download the update OTA, and try again.
Rooted S4 won't update to 4.4, error, rooted with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505
I haven't gotten the OTA notification yet, but if I go to about phone, system updates it will find it and download it.
When it tries to install it will do the normal things, but at the end won't complete and says error.
What error would it be? The S4 was rotted with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 and I also read the source code of KitKat was realeased from Samsung. I guess I may have to wait until I get an OTA update or until one of you masters redoes the update.
Please Help.
Thank You

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know of a root for the AT&T Alpha? I saw CF-auto-root has one for the unlocked version (SM-G850F), however, I know that is an entirely different phone, so I'm not even going to attempt it. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
Isn't one. Method you mentioned will not work.
Hmm, Thanks for the info. So I guess I'm just stuck on waiting for a binary to be released.

I think we will be waiting forever....the phone has been out for over 4 months and there is no sign of root for the At&t varient. I don't think there is enough following to make this a priority for any developers. I don't blame them.
I love the phone, I would love it more with root.....
EDIT - from what I have read, don't be fooled by the SRSRoot that claims it can root the At&t Alpha....it doesn't work.
i now that filling,same as you have iphon
battery will be calibrate ,boring interface....
So, is there any news on the root for G850A?

Has anyone heard any news about any root for the SAMSUNG-SM-G850A?
Is anyone brave enough to try this
https://chimeratool.com/supportedmodels
I could be wrong but I think that it should be safe to try. Either the root works, or it doesn't and leaves your phone untouched. Only thing I'd worry about is the chance of any viruses the program can come with.
EDIT: Just tried it, it failed.
Thanks for trying. The looking continues.

Do the Chainfire roots for sltechn or sltecan not work for the AT&T version?
Once you do get root though, you'll be in the same boat as me... with no custom roms available out there because nobody is developing for this device.
I'm working on getting a recovery working.. but that's just step 1.

Any New Changes?
Can someone please tell me Any New Features such as Themes are included in this 5.1.1 update?
Come on people post those long over due screenshots!
I just did the update and it killed my sim card reader. Booted up the phone after fresh wipe and install, my phone said that I needed to install a sim card. Talked to T-Mobile technical support and was told to go to the store to get a new sim card since they thought the update fried the sim card. Still no luck, phone won't read new sim card. Other than that, the phone sims a lot more fluid and some animations seem a little different.

How do I root my Sprint G3 if I am using the stock rom running 5.0.1 with LS990ZVC update?
This thing had a nasty battery leecher that according to battery usage under settings was from wifi calling which would never activate even though it would switch on and locate me. I froze the service/app and thought i got rid of the problem... Still there so i ended up reflashing the entire rom and running ##rtn# to reset everything. Now it works so far...
