Install Huawei Ascend Mate 7 Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Following the deployment of Android 6.0 Marshmallow EMUI 4.0 OTA and full firmware files for Honor 7 in Europe, Huawei Mate S, Huawei P8 and Huawei P8 Liteย (for European, South Asian, and South American regions), the manufacturer has now updated a new device named Ascend Mate 7. This brings the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Huaweiโ€™s very own EMUI 4.0 ROM for the Mate 7 MT7-L09. This is the stable OTA update capture for the European variants and comes officially from Huawei. This is not a full firmware file, that means, the update file listed in the download section is an incremental OTA versionย MT7-L09C432B522 which needs to be flashed over the base firmwareย MT7-L09C432B513 (Beta Marshmallow version) released by Huawei. You can find all the files in the download section.

Some of the users are currently receiving Android 6.0 Marshmallow straight from Huawei over the air. So if you see no such action on your device, then follow this tutorial to get your device updated. You can grab the update from the download section and flash it right away. Also, stay tuned and we will update the full firmware files as soon as they are available. The installation procedure is the same. There are actually 2 methods to install it. Using the dialer on your Huawei device to enable advanced options or flashing protocol and secondly using the built-in Updater application.ย OTA update details:ย Device: Huawei Ascend Mate 7, Model: MT7-L09, Android: v6.0 Marshmallow, EMUI: 4.0, Firmware: B522, Build Number: MT7-L09C432B522, Previous Version: B513, Region: Europe, Release Date: 19.04.2016, Status: Official (stable), Type: Incremental update, Base required:ย MT7-L09C432B513. Some of the innovative features introduced by EMUI 4.0 ROM are Emotion UI, including the ability to cancel sending an SMS within 4 seconds, and a set of new animations, etc. You can check out the pics of EMUI 4.0 running on Honor 7 from our Pinterest account. UPDATE: the full firmware file is now available. This should work for everyone not havingย B513 as their base.

How to Install Huawei Ascend Mate 7 Android 6.0 Marshmallow B522 Official OTA Update EMUI 4.0

Step 1.ย First, check your firmware version device and proceed. If you already have the latest one, you donโ€™t need to update.

Step 2.ย Backup is highly recommended. Backup all your personal stuff like data, apps, media, storage files and fully charge the battery.

Step 3.ย Download Android 6.0 Marshmallow OTA file from above for your Huawei device.

Step 4.ย Rename the downloaded file to update.zip for convenience. (.zip extension is important)

Step 5.ย Now create a folder namedย dload in the root of your internal storage or on your SD card. Now place the update.zip file here.

Step 6.ย Go to settings>update and hit theย menu button and then choose Local update.

Step 7.ย Ifย  you have copied the update.zip file correctly, then you will find it on the select menu. Tap on it and start installation

Note: Alternatively, turn off your device completely and hold the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN button pressed and the POWER button. The update will start automatically.

Step 8.ย Wait until the update is applied.

Second Method: Update Using Dialer

Alternatively, you can go to the dialer of your device and enter the following code:ย * # * # 2846579 # * # *. Make sure the file is placed in the dload folder and the file is named update.zip, just like the above method. Once the number is engaged,ย it opens an advanced options panel. There you have the tenth option of Hota Upgrade. Select it and then the update will start automatically. Thatโ€™s it. Reboot and enjoy your latest marshmallow ROM.

Troubleshoot boot loop:

Forced upgrade: In case your phone is bricked, turn it off completely and then boot by holding Vol down + Vol up + Power at the same time. Release the Power button upon vibration and wait forย the upgrade to start. Alternatively, you can try a factory reset from your stock recovery.
