if you are one of those users who didn't received OTA upgrade in Middle East for this giant smartphone
Mate 7. then i have good news for you, i have successfully upgraded my Huawei Mate 7 phone with lollipop firmware and its smooth and perfect. on some blogs people are telling huawei removed some feature but it is totally wrong, they just changed the way you can activate few things, e.g huawei swype keyboard , it is there but they made google keyboard as default.
as i own Mate 7 Gold (32 GB version) so this guide is strictly for MT7-TL10 version.

Don't touch anything, just sit back & relax , after 1st restart system will start optimization, whole process may take 20-30 minutes.
Once phone boots up in normal mode again go in recovery mode & clear cache. now your phone is ready to use.
Note: if you face any problem with battery discharge time, please complete at least 10 recharge cycles. (let the phone turn off while battery finish and recharge fully at once). do this at least 10 times.
So far i am getting 2 days battery backup with 24 hours on WiFi under normal use.
