Hi,
I am trying to use Wireless Update to update to 20160315. It says my current version is P9000_Elephone 6.0_20160304 and no update is available. Is it possible to use Wireless Update for this or do I need to flash the ROM?
Thanks

Some had the luck with an ota update, but I think most of us flashed the new rom.
This is a bit ridiculous, Im in same boat, I cant use the FP sensor on mine until I get 0315, but it says Im up to date on 0304, I cant flash as I dont have windows. I think the best thing I can do with this phone now is put it back in its box and send it back to the retailer. Very frustrating as apart from this, its a good device.
I ended up flashing it and overall it was worth it. I ended up with a clean install - don't know if there was another way so that I didn't have to re-install everything? The process was also a bit more fiddly when using Windows 10 as I had to bypass the driver signing system by booting windows with this disabled.
Does anyone have an issue with WiFi consuming a lot of power? I've now enabled it to be always on to see if that helps as I read somewhere that it might.
According to a post on the Elephone forum, they've pulled the ota and we should expect a new one mid April.
Some users have 20160401beta, so they are working on something.
For me no OTA, you need to flash it manually with the latest flash tools. Older versions can not load the scatter file.
Best would be, if the elephone distributes the update.zip so we could copy it to the phone and install it from the update menu.

Does installing via the update menu work? I have the zip for the 20160315 build but am unsure as to whether installing this way would work. I use a Mac so flashing via computer isn't an option...
Hello, i would like to ask how we can perform a local update from the option that there is at the phone

For that you need the OTA file, which so far are not provided by Elephone.

Are you sure the drivers are installed correctly? Did you update to KitKat using the flash tool? (if so then the drivers are correctly installed). If not, and you updated over KitKat, chances are that you have not installed the drivers correctly which is the hard part. See this post here for correct driver installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/lenovo-p780-guide-t2658144

i downloaded the update file from this link " http://studioscue.com/lenovo-p780-8g...n-and-rooting/ " and it was a rar file when extracted i got a zip file and i copied that file to phone and switched off the phone and went to recovery mode by pressing powerkey,vol up and vol down. the file automatically installed.i actually downloaded drivers from lenovo website for p780 and installed it in my pc, i even connected my phone and checked for driver update,the message displayed drivers up to date.
I downloaded the driver file and installed. now my phone is getting detected but i get this error in the flash tool.
PMT Mismatch
I have had this problem before, on another phone Bird V1277 see attached screenshot you need a modified scatter file or try and download file again could be corrupted?
I tried with three different scatter files but its not working i get this error in sp flash tool
"pmt changed for the rom it must be downloaded"

Vroot doesn't give lasting root. After a day or two the root fails. Kingroot wont work and root genius isn't so genius with this ROM. Has anyone gotten lasting root on the newest KK ROM? I have rooted three times. Right now I'm using SuperSU but it is not full root. TB won't work and Mobile Uncle Tools doesn't work fully also. Is there no newer recovery that will work better? I've tried the newest TWRP and the older CWM both won't give full root. I wouldn't ask but I've been looking myself for a long while already. I've even contacted the guy who writes the 4EXT recovery. Maybe he will make us a recovery. I like 4EXT.
What is the difference between the kitkat update variations s220,s221,s214
my phone has s214 and i cant install twrp in it
which is the latest version among all these
Obviously S221.

Dear all
I have rooted my phone long time ago, installed TWRP. I never updated, but now, always they want me to update, but of course, it doesn't work because of the root.
Isn't there a simple solution, just to flast the new rom via TWRP? Preferably keeping the root?
I am at the end of my understanding

I would say, back up your apps with e.g. titanium backup and then flash (with fullwipe) something like xpower...
Thats the easiest and trouble free method.

You can find some update zips out here on the forum's or u can make one yourself (search for the guide) but I wouldn't recommend update via zip as it is likely to introduce some issues.
The best way is to backup your apps and data, and internal SD card and then flash a full ftf via flashtool.
It's a bit more work then flashing via twrp but you won't have strange battery drain and bugs no one else has.
In my opinion this is the only way to upgrade to a newer firmware and I do this every time.

#sorry for my bad english
Hi everyone,
I've recently messed up terribly on the Canadian model of this phone. The model # is KII-L05 and the problem is that I'm stuck on the logo screen when booting.
I was unable to flash a custom ROM properly and have no backups. I have TWRP 3.1.1-0 installed and have tried flashing cm12.1, cm-13.0, lineage-13.0 and lineage-14.1 with the proper gapps to no success. I also tried eRecovery (with a lot of trouble getting to it using the Vol+/- because it loads TWRP 99% of the time) but it won't detect the dload/UPDATE.APP that I acquired from the Canadian Huawei support site nor will it update via wifi.
I've run out of ideas so I'd appreciate some assistance in finding a solution either getting back to stock ROM(firmware?) or a custom ROM that supports this model.
If there's already an answer posted, please pass along the link as I've come up with nothing searching and following most of what's been said before.
Thanks,
You just have an option to restore the backup if someone can share it.

I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to that...
For clarity, would that be using TWRP to restore the backup or using the eRecovery/UPDATE.APP method?
I'll try my luck in the file repository to see if anyone has it.

Extract your update.app using a program like 7zip -- it should contain a boot.img file. Use the ADB method to manually flash the file.
While your at it, if there is a system.img file -- flash that as well.

It may not work and dload will be best option here.

I mentioned in my original post that I have no backups. Unfortunately, that includes me not having stock recovery to start from scratch.
My current eRecovery doesn't recognize anything I put into dload nor does it update via wifi.
I'm currently outreaching to Huawei Canada (been more than a few days without a response) as well as friends/coworkers that may have the phone that can help with no success.

No backups, that includes anywhere internal or external of the phone in question. Already tried the Huawei site and they have Marshmallow - I suspect I need anything older that's on Lollipop.

Unfortunately there are no official firmware yet for this mate. I tried looking for you but couldn't get any. Its just OTA and not full firmware that could help you with dload.

Merry Christmas all,
I bought my S9+ 18 about months ago from one of those cell phone stores.
Well since I bought the device, I never received an update. If I am not wrong, this device is originally from Luxemburg, I live in Austria and my provider is T-Mobile.
I have been looking all over the internet to find the right update, but i think none of the ones I found were the correct update for the device I own.
In the attachment you find the device information, can you maybe help me to find the right update file. I would much appreciate your help!
OR
Is there way to change my device, as if I bought it directly from T-Mobile, so I receive the future updates automatically, without root access?
Best wishes,
timsah

have you ever had smartswitch work for this type of situation?
these situations almost always benefit the most from Odin, not smartswitch. Odin is very easy to use if the user can read and comprehend fairly simple steps provided they dont overthink it or use the wrong files etc etc.
Odin > smartswitch
even when the phone gets to the state where it says that the software is corrupt and to connect it to Keis, do not connect it to Keis. That screen is also download mode, and if you have that screen, a computer, usb cord and Odin, youre likely going to be able to fix your phone. Ive never once seen anyone use smartswitch to achieve this

My understanding is that the A1 build is a Global build for Google Store bought unlocked phones which mine is.
Besides I tried A4 when A1 failed with the same result.

That happened to me the 1st time I sideloaded the mid-nov update, it read the img but failed installing it.
Turned out that simply switching from the front left USB 2.0 to the front right USB 2.0 of my PC solved it and I was able to sideload properly. No idea how or why that would make a difference though but I guess that's technologie for you
Hoped the OTA worked come today and save me the hassle. Still not got it though in the UK. How long can it take to come through?

Rumor has it that if you sideloaded the mid-november update (037) you won't get an OTA at all.
No idea if that applies to you but if it does you should consider using the flash tool to see whichever update it shows you as Default, then sideload that one. That way future updates should be OTA again (as long as you're not rooted).

Check this sub forum, there are 1 or 2 that are about the December update and I'm pretty sure users in both mentioned it somewhere.
If you flash 037 update you won't get ota for December update.
But it's better to stay on November patch level.
I'm on December and have bad connection.
