[HELP] Updating to Marshmallow - Huawei Mate S

Hi Mam/Sir,
Kindly help me upgrade my Mate S to current EMUI version. first of all I would like you to know that I live in the Philippines and bought the unit in Dubai last December 2015, it has the build number CRR-UL00C433B114 EMUI version 3.1. I tried contacting Huawei Customer Support if they can help me with my problem but didn't receive any response from them. I also have read one of the threads here that I cant just simply use other country's update to my unit as it has different region and such (correct me if I understand it wrong). I would greatly appreciate it if you can spoonfed me the step by step procedures on how I can update my Unit.
Thanking in Advance to all of you guys!.
P.S.
This is my first post in this forum, kindly pardon me If I committed any mistake or violated any rules.

take a look here..
maybe it is the right one..

Just download the B355 Update.app and place in the dload folder on your sdcard. Then open the EMUI Update App, press on menu on the bottom and then "update from local file". B355 should be listed there.
If the Update fails at under 10% with the message "incompatible version", try updating to B146 first.
link to B355 and B146

Thanks blueIBI and Tuerkay, checking both of your suggestions leads me to same download link i'm downloading it now, will post a feedback of the result later. Thank you so much guys!

The update worked like a charm! I finally updated it to android 6, EMUI 4, Thank you so much guys,

Sorry for this follow-up question, how do I increase my screen recorder duration more than 5 minutes? it says that as long as I have enough storage I can record as long as my free storage space can? Thanking in Advance.
PS. oops my bad, it was on the instructions that it is only good for 5 minutes, maybe a third party app will solve my problem, sorry for this question.

The original thread by Blackball for this didn't get much attention, I've been using it for a while without any problems. The original thread contains the instructions in English.
N.B: This is not my work it's all Blackball's
Does this work with the gra ul00 of the p8 cheers and thanks
i know one user who tried it and it works. But if i remember correctly he had problems to use this second sim.

Hey mate I downloaded the weekly 44 so is that the one that will work and sdcard work instead of the sim card 2
KW02 is my latest work. Base on B220
Ok well the kw02 faild but kw44 worked and v1.1 didnt work I am confused to why it said just the update binary failed
If update binary failed you can try two things. First one is copy the rom again to your phone and the second one just reboot into recovery again after failed flashing and try again.

Look at Android-hilfe.de.
But this one had a reboot Bug. If you reboot into recovery from PC or App you get a TWRP Bootloop.
Only reboot into recovery with Vol and Power Button.

Where is home grid 5X5 ?
No updates
No Update at the moment
im considering putting this rom on my phone, there are a few questions i have tho.
is this rom more stocklike? the biggest reason for putting on a custom rom is getting rid of Emui, does this accomplish that?
and are you going to develop for marshmallow?
thankss
edit: just saw ur post about questions in the android-hilfe forum, but i dont speaak german so im asking here.

If you have Google chrome dev it translates it for you
Emui is still there because that have lot of features that i dont wanna miss.
Im still working on a CM Rom and Full Debloated Stock Rom but at the moment i dont have much time for
my hobby.
ah thats a real shame. id like it if we got a cyanogen mod for this phone. i dont care all that much for emui since i dislike bloatware in general.

P8Lite 6.0 ALE-L21 (B133) EU single sim

Hi guys & gals, rang up huawei about my version of the p8lite (single sim EU version) to find out when there's going to be an OTA for 6.0. They told me it was coming weeks ago but still no luck. So I was wondering if there's a flash rom of 6.0 bespoke for my version (not beta)??
Thanks.
NO HELP?

Ive extraccted update.app, put it in insternal download file as my sd card is too small, and i cant find it in local. So i forced update through recovery mode, and it keeps getting stuck on 90%. Looks like it isnt going to work

First off all
You have to put the UPDATE.APP in a folder called dload. but that is something you almready know by now
Second use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994 (again) to downgrade your phone by using these chapter : Chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 4 (only single sim files) use the chapters in these order please.
if that's done you should be able to upgrade by following chapter 6
This thread has been tested over and over again en works fine as long as you do wath it says. if you don't know a thing or you have doubts... please leave a message and i will help you as soon as i can. Don't do anything you might think is right because it's probaly not. but you should'nt have to much probs. everything is explained as if you would explaine it to a 3 year old

Hey flashing roms can be nerve wrecking.. You get stuck on some where and you start gettong nervous, but don't worry man, try searching links and you're good to go..
Put that update.app in a folder named dload and place it im your root directory (the one you see when you open your internal memory using file manager) and upgrade it

Thanks for the link,but there is a problem. For the first, i'm a new user of Huawei,so i still don't trust this phone like the old one and i can't test everythyng on my own. On the old one i failed a lot of times to install the rom,but wasn't a problem. I was sure i can repair it every time. I made the update to Marshmallow, B560 if i'm not wrong,but in that archive was only a file, UPDATE.APP, , but there are more. So i'm not sure if the proces is the same or not. I don't want to risk and break it

if you download and install manual via local update it's same as getting through OTA, you wont loose your warranty, how many time do i have to explain this?
your warranty is voided only if you unlock bootloader or rooting your phone but for these 2, you can undo.

Hi, since I have this problem, will you explain to me how did you do it?

P9 stuck on 166 , any way to get it to a more rescent version.

I have a p9, on os eva-l09c432b166. Unfortunately it cant seem to find any further updates, and the links on this forum for eva-l09c432b167 404. Does anyone have a copy of the needed updates or can say what need to do to get this up to date?

Your can try to ask for update from.hicare app... Also you can try to flash from zero the full.b136... And try to update should arrive at least to 182..And should also suggest the b378 (nougat)

Try to ask for update from hicare app... If this don't work u can only flash full b136 is the only way... I guess u already tried to manually update with DLOAD + 3 buttons method

I had the same issue a while ago and had to manually update to B182, from there it should update to Nougat automatically, or again like me, you can do it manually. I seem to recall reading that B166 was a beta (or similar) and would never update, so I'd download B182 and update it yourself.
