upgrading from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1: which rom /version can I use? - Huawei Ascend P7

My wife has a Huawei Ascend P7 which is still on 4.4.2 with no update available in the update section.
She now encounters problems apps cannot be run/installed because her OS is to old. I found that there a loads of 5.1.1 roms available for the P7 and contacted the Huawei support in the Netherlands. They asked me the build number and after I send them the build number, I now got the answer that there is no update available and that it is unknown when the update will come.
As 5.1.1 is not like it is released yesterday, I can expect the update will never come.
I am now wondering: is there any stock 5.1.1 update I can flash onto her P7 to get it to 5.1.1?
The build is P7-L10V100R001C00B623, the custom version is CustC432D001.
And is there any rom which has dutch language support?
I found this page with loads of P7 5.1.1 updates, but cannot see which I could install on her device:

Which 5.1.1 update could I install?
edit: I received another reply from Huawei stating that "unfortunately your telephone model does not support this update, for now there will come no update".
how could my phone "not suppport" 5.1.1 lollipop?

You need this one but some people say there are lot of bugs in Lollipop with Ascend P7 in general.
.
Most stable is B853 but it is for Asian market, so you have to how why to change CUST number.
You have to unlock bootloader with dc-unlocker and make root.
I do not have Lollipop but I am not sure if its best option. There is an option with Lineage 13 (Android 6.0) for this phone.
In fact there seem to be problems with getting back to earlier Android.
She now encounters problems apps cannot be run/installed because her OS is to old.

You can find many many similar apps on alternative markets to install them alone as .apk You dont have to you Google Store with such old Android. I got 4.4 and it takes some time to find suitable app but it is possible

Update manualy emui 3.0
http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/a...-smartphone-will-receive-the-lollipop-update/
Finally one information...
"Huawei Ascend P7 - april\may" it says
Thanks dude
Thanks! Is it a serious information?
Nobody knows... But this is first information on some page...
I think we'll have more information during the MWC of Barcelona, when Huawei will present the P8 (15th of April).
I hope Huawei will release complete kernel source...and then we'll be able to see lollipop on our device
Are there any custom Lollipop Rom's? Experimental? I'm testing one on my actual SGS I9305 and it's not stable enough. Anyway I want to buy P7 for my wife's birthday in May. Hope will now more about future updates.
Unfortunately there are not custom lollipop roms

So far there is no Lollipop for P7. Unfortunately we have to wait for Huawei...
I have done a little research and I found out that we may get a Lollipop update at mid 2015 which means we have to wait a long time ffs ;_;

Again ... same thing on mate7 forum..
Dont understand some ppl such hassle for 5.0 ..
Just testing it right now on G3 and it is laggyyyy
I think we'd better wait for 5.1 with bugfixes or if Google follows trend - 5.1.2

:good: you heard the maaan ppl
P7 will get Lollipop in July, along with updated EMUI:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Huaw...-all-be-updated-to-Lollipop-this-year_id68035
Can't see P7-L10 in the list?!
http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_devices_to_get_lollipop_from_next_month_onwards-news-11834.php
Only for Chinese devices L00-L09 in July 2015 (2015年7月). AnDroid 5 for L10 may be next year... But L07 hardware is similar to L10, so custom ROMs we will see soon definitely!!
It was the same with EMUI 3.0 - first for Chinese devices, then for the rest of the world.
Such a late release could mean that:
EMUI heavy adjustments over Android standart interface are so complex that Huawei needs a lof of resources to develop and test it.
I would say in this area Huawei are following steps of HTC Sense, which got so heavy that HTC was incapable of releasing updated android versions in time, because Sense integration took way too much time and resources.
or
They are waiting for 5.1 thus "Lollipop" for them means 5.1 not 5.0.2
That would be a good thing.

That is why I changed my device P-7 one week ago, people waiting for long time to get updates, but Huawei seems to have forgotten them, now I have a motorola Moto G that provides official lollipop and there are many custom roms for this device with the latest version of android 5.1.1. I love it !!!!

About Huawei P7-L11 EMUI 3.0

Hi
i purchased p7 while ago and then while i search in the internet i find that there is many models of p7 and mine was p7-l11 and it's australian model but i'm not from australia
so this model seems that it doesn't receive any updates and it's still on EMUI 2.3 and probably will not get lolipop update also
is there a way to make it like global model (p7-l10 ) by install another ROM or something ? so it can receive the updates normally
thanks and sorry for my english.

Hey guys, how can I update my phone to android 7? Ive been looking on here for my model and can't seem to find any info if mine supports the custom ROMs for 7, not new to ROMs etc but new to huawei, model is EVA- Lo9 c40b190? Does it matter as long as it's Eva Lo9? Thanks.
You pretty much got 3 choices.
1. Debrand and change it to a C432 and then update it to B361 (Android 7).
2. Wait for Android 7 to be officially released for your model.
3. If C40 already have a Android 7 build, then you can do a force update via dload or Huawei updater.
