In order to install any original firmware, you must do the following:
- Copy the dload folder with all its contents to the root of the SD card;
- Turn off tablet
; - Insert the SD card if it was removed;
- While holding the Volume Up key, press and hold the Power button until the screen blinks. The Volume Up button must be held until the installation process begins (a green robot and a progress bar will appear);
- Finally, when prompted, remove the SD card or hold the Power button for 10 seconds.
Note: In some cases, you don’t need to press the buttons at all and the process will start automatically after turning on/rebooting.
If the update process does not start, you need to open the calculator, enter ()()2846579()()= and then select Project Menu Act -> Upgrade ->SD Card upgrade.
Attention!
- Do not remove the card or press the power button until the process is complete and the appropriate prompt appears on the screen;
- If the power is lost during the installation process, repeat the firmware process;
- After copying the firmware to the SD card, check if it is damaged (copy the firmware files, disconnect and then connect the SD card, check that the *.zip files in the firmware open without errors on the computer).
- Delete the firmware file from the SD card or rename the dload folder if you do not want to accidentally update the tablet
again!
What is hard reset
Hard reset – forced clearing of all information on the device to remove all installed programs, linked accounts, and user data. Hardware cleaning is most often required if there are any stutters or bugs in EMUI and Android in general.
A hard reset deletes all user data:
- Linked accounts;
- SMS messages;
- Saved passwords;
- Huawei account;
- Photos, videos;
- Audio files;
- Programs, games;
- Other information.
After using a hard reset, the phone turns into a device out of the box. After this, you can re-enter Google Play, install the necessary programs and use the gadget as usual.
: more than 30 Huawei smartphones 19-20g will not receive emui 11 — list and reasons for end of life cycle
HUAWEI’s extremely inconsistent policy led to the end of the life cycle of a number of current smartphones
Over the past few months, HUAWEI has been developing a new firmware, EMUI 11. The flagships received beta versions, and then ordinary users also joined the testing. At first it was the owners from China and India, and then the holiday came to the smartphones of Europeans. Currently, stable firmware is available for the P40 and Mate 30 series, but more phones will join them soon.
And here lies the most important intrigue. The fact is that for a long time a list has been circulating on the Internet containing more than fifty devices that should receive the new EMUI 11. Not so long ago, HUAWEI officially released a press release in which it presented the timing for sending out the final version of its own firmware. Below you can see the schedule. To your surprise, many of you may notice that there are only 18 phones. And most importantly: there are not many of those that logically should be considered relevant, because they were released in 2021.
Let’s list the most popular of them:
In fact, the list can be continued for a very long time; according to our calculations, there are more than thirty models. Below there are several screenshots where you can see all the released HUAWEI smartphones in 2021 and 2020. Surprisingly, most of them also did not have the honor of being updated to EMUI 11. The situation is extremely alarming, because we are not even talking about 2021 devices, which can also count on the firmware, because a little more than two years have passed since the start of sales of some of them .
As for the reasons, the Chinese manufacturer claims incompatibility. Allegedly, old phones do not work correctly on new firmware. It’s quite possible that this is in line with the Lite series phones, but it clearly doesn’t fit the flagships of recent years.
: the latest version of magic ui 3.1 firmware has become available for eight honor smartphones
Honor has released a software update for eight smartphones. One model received the update yesterday, July 27, and seven more at the end of last week. In all cases, the software is built on Android 10. We will briefly talk about which phones received the latest version of Magic UI 3.1 and what it brought.
On July 24, the Chinese manufacturer released an update under the number Magic UI 2.1.1.123 for Honor Play 4T Pro and on the same day they began distributing the beta version of the Magic UI 3.1 firmware. The update expanded the capabilities of gesture control and improved the performance of the front camera. Honor Play 4T Pro is a relatively new model from the company. It received a Kirin 810 mobile processor, up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of storage. The resolution of the main camera is 48 MP 8 MP 2 MP, and the front camera is 16 MP. A 4000 mAh battery is responsible for power supply.
Six models at once received the new version of Magic UI 3.1 on July 25th. Build number v3.1.1.160 came to Honor 30 Lite. The update optimizes the triple main camera with a resolution of 48 MP 8 MP 2 MP and adds Smart Vision for scanning QR codes, barcodes and text translation in real time.
Honor 30 Lite
Honor 30 Lite is also a new smartphone. It received a Dimensity 800 processor and supports operation in fifth generation networks. The front camera has a resolution of 16 megapixels, and all components are powered by a 400 mAh battery. Depending on the modification, 6/8 GB of RAM and 64/128 GB of permanent memory are provided under the hood.
Update number v10.1.0161 brought the July security patch to the 2020 flagship slider Honor Magic 2. Formally, this is the world’s first smartphone with a 7-nanometer mobile processor on board. The Kirin 980 chip is complemented by 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of ROM in the top version.
Honor Magic 2
The flagship is equipped with a main camera with a resolution of 24 MP 16 MP 16 MP, and the front camera uses two 2 MP sensors and a 16 MP module. The capacity of the built-in battery was 3500 mAh. At the same time, it received 40W fast charging, which was very good in 2020.
The installation of a fresh operating system security patch was limited to the Magic UI 3.1.0.176 update, 399 MB in size. It came to the flagship smartphone Honor 30 Pro, which was introduced in April of this year.
Honor 30 Pro
The model is equipped with a 90-Hz OLED panel with a cutout for a 32 MP 8 MP front camera. The heart is the top-end Kirin 990 5G processor paired with 8 GB of RAM. The battery capacity is 4000 mAh, and the main camera contains 40 MP, 16 MP and 8 MP modules with 5x optical zoom.
Magic UI 3.1 numbered v10.1.0.161 came to Honor View 20. Previously, this smartphone received EMUI firmware, which is what this update number is associated with. It only brought the July security patch. Honor View 20, also known as V20, was released at the end of 2020. Under the hood of the flagship there is a Kirin 980 processor. On board there is a 48-megapixel camera, a 3D sensor and a 25-megapixel front camera. The battery has a capacity of 4000 mAh.
Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro were also updated on July 25th. Firmware v10.1.0.161 with a security patch has been released for each flagship. The smartphones are equipped with a Kirin 980 chip and 6.26” IPS screens with a hole for a 32 MP front camera. The standard model received a 3750 mAh battery and a main camera with a resolution of 48 MP 16 MP 2 MP 2 MP. The Pro version uses a 4000 mAh battery, and the camera has an 8-megapixel telephoto lens.
Honor 20 Pro
Finally, on July 27, the firmware for the budget Honor 9A was released. The update numbered Magic UI 3.1.0132 brought several improvements and a search bar for quickly finding applications from the desktop. The smartphone is equipped with a MediaTek helio 6762R chip, has an 8 megapixel front camera and a main camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels 5 megapixels 2 megapixels, and the battery capacity is 4900 mAh.
⇡#design, ergonomics and software
Few people today are chasing originality in search of their identity when it comes to the design of smartphones. Reliability and proven solutions, especially if they have already been tested by Apple, are much more reliable. Honor 10 has become the latest owner of a cutout at the top of the display — almost exactly the same as the Huawei P20/. Except that instead of a round speaker grille, it has an oval one.
Honor 10 in Glacier Gray
Moreover, Huawei is not shy about its decision — at the presentation of Honor 10 they compared it with, and the Chinese plainly stated that our smartphone, they say, has a much more beautiful insert. Well, maybe so — it’s very difficult to judge the beauty of these controversial solutions, which serve the utilitarian goal of maximizing the expansion of the display.
| Mysterious disappearance of unibrow in Honor 10 | ||
If you don’t like the display being torn by the insert, this can be corrected programmatically — in the settings you can choose to fill the status bar with black. In this form, the cutout will merge with the on-screen surroundings on which system information is displayed.
| Honor 10 in black and Phantom Blue | ||
The feature of older Huawei smartphones of 2020 is no longer just a mirrored back panel, which needs a case like a person in the air (otherwise the smartphone turns out to be too slippery and also gets dirty instantly). The main design feature of both Huawei P20 and Honor 10 are unusual color schemes.
In addition to black and gray-blue, in this case we got two gradients at once: Phantom Blue (purple-blue) and Phantom Green (purple-green). The test, unfortunately, turned out to be relatively boring, but still beautiful Glacier Gray — despite the name of the color, it is more blue than gray.
Honor 10, front panel: top – cutout with status indicator, front camera and earpiece, bottom – touch “Home” key
The 5.84-inch display (yes, we’re in 2020, that’s the new norm) is packaged in a body that’s just slightly larger than what we saw with its 5.2-inch display. Yes, this is partly a trick — the screen is elongated (19:9 format), and its real area is not as much larger as it seems when looking at the diagonal.
But for the most part, such a breakthrough is achieved by reducing the scope. They are noticeable here, but they don’t interfere much with reaching different parts of the display with your finger. I couldn’t use Honor 10 with one hand — the comfort level is slightly lower than in the case of Honor 9. But there is no fundamental difference.
Honor 10, rear panel: in the upper left corner there are two camera lenses protruding above the body and a single LED flash
And yet, when you look at the dimensions and weight of the smartphone, you notice, if not a feat of engineers, then at least an achievement. Honor 10 weighs two grams less than Honor 9, despite the fact that it not only has a larger display, but also a larger battery. How the developers managed to achieve this using the same materials (glass front and back, metal with small plastic inserts on the edges) is an interesting mystery.
Honor 10, left side: slot for two nano-SIM camera cards
Honor 10, right side: power and volume keys/camera shutter
The layout of the case is classic — on the left edge there is a slot for SIM cards, on the right — the power and volume control / shutter keys. At the bottom, in addition to the USB Type-C port and the speaker (it is monophonic here, it is not duplicated as a conversational one), you can also find a mini-jack for headphones.
Honor 10, top edge: microphone and IR sensor
Honor 10, bottom edge: mini-jack, USB Type-C port, microphone and main speaker
Despite the all-out universal pursuit of how much of the front panel is occupied by the display, Huawei has resolutely left the Home key with a built-in fingerprint sensor on it. And in an unusual format — the scanner itself is ultrasonic and hidden under glass; it feels like an ordinary touch key with vibration as feedback, but it looks like a transitional stage between traditional scanners and those hidden in the display.
This is not the first ultrasound scanner; we have already seen them in the most unexpected devices (like) — and, unfortunately, far from perfect. It reacts to touch every time, the percentage of errors is very high — despite the fact that in theory its sensitivity to microdamage to the skin should be lower than that of capacitive sensors. At the same time, you can use the scanner with a wet or dirty finger — it ignores these things. At least it’s some kind of plus.
If desired, you can abandon this method of user verification in favor of facial recognition, but, firstly, an unreliable method is used with only the front camera (you can even deceive it with a photograph), and secondly, how well the system worked in Huawei P20 Pro, it works so poorly in Honor 10. I don’t know what the reason is, but, as with the fingerprint sensor, the response rate is low. Approximately at the level.
You can use both facial recognition and a fingerprint scanner — just for different purposes. One, for example, to unlock the device, the second — to pay via Google pay or access your personal space.
Honor 10: EMUI
View all images
Honor 10 runs on the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system with the EMUI 8.1 shell. There are no differences from what we saw in the Huawei P20 Pro in terms of the general operating logic. All I can say is that it works subjectively a little slower with a slightly larger number of errors — but I definitely won’t dare to draw far-reaching conclusions from this about the artificial “slowdown” of Honor in comparison with the flagship smartphone. Well, energy efficiency is completely different — there are no complaints about the platform, it’s all about the LCD screen instead of OLED.
Another small difference is a larger number of pre-installed applications at the start. For each country — its own: for Russia — from some Yandex applications to the Sberbank client. Online.»

How to disable auto-update of system and applications on honor, Huawei
Purely theoretically, updating a mobile system or installed applications has good purposes, since it is intended to improve the software, fix various bugs, and so on. But in reality, sometimes such updates only create additional problems for the mobile phone owner.
Therefore, some users have a desire to abandon such a process. For example, how to disable auto-update on Honor and Huawei? Is there such a possibility? Yes, in this material we suggest that you familiarize yourself with instructions that allow you to get rid of auto-updating applications and operating systems installed on such mobile phones.
So, to disable auto-update of the system and other software on Honor and Huawei mobile devices, as well as on any smartphones running Android OS, you need to repeat the following steps:
- First of all, you need to completely prohibit the device from working in the Wi-Fi network, as well as transmitting data in the usual, mobile way.
- After this, you need to visit the settings section, follow the path “applications” — “applications” — “system update”. Go to the “memory” subsection. Click on “reset”.
- Return to “applications” – “applications”. Click on the special “more” button. Select “show system” from the list. This will allow you to see the “download manager” section on the screen. Go into it, into “memory” and press reset again.
- Return to settings. Select the “System” item. In it, click on “system update”. Then we go through the “menu” subsection to “update settings”. Here we deactivate two tools: “auto-check for updates” and “auto-download via Wi-Fi”.
- Once again we visit the settings section. Through “applications and notifications” and “applications” we go to “system update”. In the section, click on “notification”. We look at all activated items and disable them.
- The penultimate stage — again we go to the settings. We go to “applications” twice. We find the section called “software update”. Click on “Traffic Statistics”. We set a ban on accessing the network.
Everything is ready. Now you can cancel the first point of our instructions — activate Wi-Fi and mobile data transfer. If done correctly, automatic updates will no longer be sent to your phone.
How to roll back an Android update on Huawei and Honor
Despite the introduction of restrictions, you can switch to the previous firmware version after updating. But you can’t call this a rollback. Existing methods involve removing the shell and installing a new one. So we have two options:
- Via PC, through developer rights and USB debugging.
- Using Bootloader.
Let’s study each method in detail.
How to roll back an Android update on Huawei and Honor?
Updating the operating system completely removes the previously used OS, replacing outdated programs with fresh ones. As a result, the only way to roll back will be to remove the software that the user does not like and install new firmware on the phone. Other solutions will not bring the desired effect, because:
- the updated version will not disappear;
- or the installed program will not work.

How to downgrade from harmony os to emui 11 on Huawei smartphones. official instructions
Huawei today announced
about the start of beta testing of the Harmony OS 2.0 operating system for mobile devices, the first of which were Huawei P40, P40 Pro, Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro and MatePad Pro.
It is important to note that Harmony OS 2.0 supports Android applications. It also became known that users of the beta version of HarmonyOS can return to the stable version of EMUI 11. This can be done using Huawei Mobile Assistant (HMA).
The official website published precautions before installing the beta version of Harmony OS 2.0 and a possible rollback to EMUI 11:
- Make sure you are using the official version of the operating system. Otherwise, you won’t be able to roll back. In addition, additional problems may arise.
- Make sure the device has not been unlocked or rooted
- The rollback operation will delete all user data. Before rolling back, be sure to back up all important data on your PC or in the cloud. Also ensure that the contents of the backup are complete and up to date.
- Make sure your phone has enough battery power (more than 50%)
- Before rolling back, be sure to turn off the mobile phone search function and perform a factory reset operation to ensure that the remaining free space is sufficient.
- Before downgrading, please manually update your computer version of Huawei Mobile Assistant to the latest version.
- After the rollback is completed, the phone will automatically reboot. Wait about 10 minutes. After a successful rollback, the phone’s desktop displays the default EMUI 11 theme.
How to reset to factory settings?
General scheme of actions:
- Settings.
- Archive and reset / Backup and reset / Restore and reset (different names).
- Reset data/Reset settings.
- Erase everything.
In different smartphone models, the data reset option is located in different settings sections, so first you need to find out the exact sequence of actions for a specific phone model. This can be done on the manufacturer’s website.
System recovery using third-party applications
If a typical smartphone does not have a separate button for rolling back the OS, special programs for backups will help. Provided that you make a backup copy in advance.
For example, Titanium Backup is one of the most popular and effective applications in this field. But to use such programs you need to get root rights. Obtaining root rights will void the warranty of the smartphone, but if you are willing to take the risk.
- Download Titanium Backup.
- Give the program superuser rights.
- Insert a memory card of sufficient capacity into the slot.
- Select the “Backups” tab — “Menu” — “Processing”.
- Select “Back up all user software and system data” — “Start”.
- To create a complete copy of the system, do not change anything in the proposed menu or check the boxes.
When a system backup has been created and you need it: “Processing” — “Restore” — “Restore all software with data”.
But please note that a rollback always completely destroys the data on the smartphone, so you MUST first backup the data or save the necessary photos, audio and video files, contacts and messages on another medium, a flash drive or in the cloud.
After installation, the device will turn on automatically.
Finally, you can rollback through special modes, but this requires the Mi Flash program and an unlocked bootloader.
To roll back via Fastboot you need:
How to remove the latest OS update for Honor and Huawei using utilities?
If the above methods do not help, you can still use third-party applications to roll back the OS. Before using them, it is recommended to study the reviews so as not to encounter malware that will not delete Android, but will only steal the user’s confidential data. The exact procedure after installing applications depends on the selected utility and is usually indicated on the developer’s website.
Which versions of android can be rolled back?
In Android 9.0 Pie, Google has finally banned rolling back the OS version to a previous state, explaining the unpopular move:
- the desire to protect users and improve the security of smartphones;
- simplifying and speeding up the update process thanks to Project Treble technology;
- combating fragmentation that prevented legacy versions from working.
That is, owners of old Android devices that have not been updated to the Pie version will be able to roll back using the built-in functionality.

Update with hisuite:
- Download, install and update to the latest version the HiSuite program
— a utility for synchronization, backup and much more from Huawei (contains ADB drivers). - To further flash the phone firmware, enable USB debugging in the phone settings in the developer section.
- Launch the HiSuite program on your computer.
- Connect the phone using a USB cable in HiSuite mode.
- When you first connect, HiSuite begins installing drivers on your computer and Daemon on your phone. (a shortcut to the HiSuite program will appear on the phone — this tells us that the drivers have been installed successfully).
- Select the EMUI ROM item in the HiSuite program.
- If we DO NOT have a pre-downloaded firmware version, then select the Download ROM item, follow the link and download the required firmware version from the website.
If we HAVE, or you have just downloaded it, a firmware version, then select the Loading ROM item, we will be prompted to select the location of the firmware file. We find the file and confirm the choice. - The file download process begins.
- We are offered to save our phone data. Select the necessary backup items, if necessary, and confirm the selection. Or we refuse if we think that we already have saved data. After saving or refusing, select NEXT.
- The HiSuite program begins the firmware process.
Important!
- During the firmware process, do not disconnect the cable from either the phone or the computer.
- Don’t touch the phone at all.
- Do not switch to other processes on your computer.
- Wait for the firmware to finish.
- After flashing the HiSuite program, the phone will reboot and enter Recovery mode. A message will appear on the white screen indicating that the phone itself has started flashing the firmware.
- We wait for the successful completion of the firmware in the form of a tick. The phone will reboot itself.
- Turn off the phone and see a window on it about updating applications. We are waiting for the operation to complete.
- Go to the settings and in the update item we make sure of the version we have installed.
Tablet firmware update
All Huawei and Honor equipment works on the same principle, respectively, they have the same operating system and very similar features. That is why the developers offer you the same reinstallation options as for mobile phones:
- by air;
- local;
- forced;
- using HiSuite;
- manually by downloading the file.
Rollback from emui 10 to emui 9
To roll back the EMUI update on Huawei and Honor:
- open main settings and Huawei via the desktop icon or notification bar;
- go to the description and characteristics of the model section;
- Click on the item with the build number 10 times;
- install HiSuite software on both your smartphone and PC (or laptop);
- establish contact between devices using a working USB cable;
- click on updates in the program;
- select the desired version;
- click on the installation process;
- read the instructions and agree.
We emphasize that during installation of the shell, you cannot interrupt the contact between the phone and the computer. Check the functionality of cables and USB ports in advance.
Rollback from emui 9 to emui 8
Having finished with the preparatory steps, you can proceed to installing the firmware. To do this you will need:
- install the HiSuite program on your smartphone and computer (laptop);
- run the utility and connect the phone to the PC, having previously activated the “USB debugging” mode;
- make sure in HiSuite that the gadget is recognized and connected;
- press the “update” button;
- after a message about using the latest version appears, switch to the tab with a list of previous ones;
- select the option you like and start the download process;
- agree with the warnings and follow the instructions of the program.
It is important to emphasize that during installation it is prohibited to disconnect the smartphone from the PC, since such actions will lead to malfunctions. If the gadget breaks down during the firmware update, Huawei owners lose the right to warranty service. As a result, the repair will be paid and will require additional expenses, therefore, when starting to reflash, you need to correctly assess your own skills and not rush into making decisions.
Rollback from ewui 10 to emui 9
Those who want to roll back the EMUI update on Honor and Huawei will have to perform the same steps, regardless of the shell version installed on the phone. But first of all, they will have to obtain developer rights. To do this you will need:
- open Huawei settings;
- find the section “about the phone”;
- find the “build number” item in the row with the description of the gadget’s parameters;
- Click on the mentioned line 7 times in a row;
- specify a password to gain access to the device (if one was installed);
- wait for a message confirming that you have received developer rights.
As a result, users will be able to roll back software as normal.
More information about firmware versions:
So, let’s take a look at the firmware numbering for Huawei smartphones. For example, let’s take the firmware from Huawei Ascend Mate — MT1-U06 V100R001C00B907.
As you probably guessed, MT1-U06 is the name of the device. M T1 is the main base, that is, Huawei Mate, U06 is a revision of the device. Devices come in different revisions, in this post I will not go into details of their designation, I will only say that the letter U is UMTS (regular 3G), and the letter C is the CDMA version. Devices with revision MT1-U06 are supplied to Russia.
CxxBxxxSPxx — This is the most important option in the firmware, it shows on which version of the “base” the firmware is compiled Bxxx — the numerical class of the base for the SPxx firmware — Service Pack number. The higher Bxxx and SPxx, the newer the firmware. (Bxxx has higher priority than SPxx). Cxx is a region of the country.
Next, let’s look at the firmware version itself — V100R001C00B907. V100 and R001 are the main version and firmware revision. They change in very rare cases, when there is a big change compared to the previous firmware version (for example, the transition from Android 2.x to 4.x). Even within Android 4.x versions, these values usually do not change.
C00B907 — for most new devices, the value of C00 no longer changes, and in general it means binding to the region. Now the region can be determined in the “Special version” menu item — CUSTC10B907.
So, for smartphones, the Russia region (channel/ru) is CUSTC10. The binding to the region can easily be changed with a special firmware file; in some official firmware there is an update.app file in the cust folder weighing several megabytes or kilobytes, which changes the region to Russia.
B907 — the firmware version itself. I think there is no need to explain that the higher it is, the newer the firmware.
View OS version using benchmarks
As mentioned above, before updating Android on a Huawei phone, you need to find out its firmware version. For this, there are also special applications that analyze the performance of the device, its power, conduct synthetic tests and, among other things, show all the information about the device under study.
- The AnTuTu application is one of the most popular comprehensive benchmarks for Android. In order to find out the OS version on your device using this software, you need to go to the section “ Info
«, where in the field » Basic information
» All information about the operating system will be displayed. AnTuTu also examines the performance of the processor, RAM and other components;
- In the Geekbench 4 program, which is also designed for Android performance analytics, you can find out the OS version by going to the “ CPU section
«; - In the AIDA64 utility there is a tab “ Android
«, which provides information about the system version; - In the CPU-Z application program, information about the Android operating system is located in the “ System section
»
These programs are useful because, in addition to providing information about the operating system, they will help you find out the technical characteristics of the internal filling as a whole.
Unlocking the OS bootloader
The standard bootloader unlocking method involves:
- download and install the ADB utility on your PC, which allows you to manage your smartphone;
- obtaining developer rights on the phone;
- connecting the gadget to the computer and then turning on the mentioned utility;
- then all you have to do is enter the unlock code (issued on the Huawei EMUI website) and make sure that the phone is ready to install new software instead of the update file.
It is important to emphasize that there are other ways to remove the lock, so if the described method does not help, you will have to use an alternative solution.
Reset to menu
The path to the treasured option depends on the type and model of your device:
- Android phones version 2.3: Settings > Privacy > Factory reset;
- Android phones version 4: Settings > Device storage > Factory reset;
- tablets on Android version 4: Settings > Backup and reset > Reset settings.
Factory reset
This is the easiest recovery option. To reset your gadget to factory settings, you do not need to download any additional files or use programs. Everything is available through the smartphone menu:
- Find the “Advanced settings” item.
- Go to “Backup and Reset”.
- Click “Reset to factory settings”.
After this, the reboot will begin.
If the system update was so unsuccessful that it is not possible to enter the settings, there is a reset option via the Recovery menu:
- Turn off the phone.
- Press the power and volume up keys. Release the power button when the company logo appears.
- The Recovery menu will open. It is controlled by the volume rocker, and the item is selected by the power key. You must select «Wipe Data».
However, in new devices the bootloader may be blocked, which will not allow you to enter the recovery menu. It can only be unlocked with the permission of the developers by sending a special request indicating the reason why it is necessary to remove the protection.
This rollback option is suitable if:
- the user remembers what firmware version was at the time of purchasing the device in the store, and wants to get exactly that;
- it doesn’t matter what firmware it will be, as long as it’s not the one that’s installed now.
However, in the case of new smartphones that are initially released with MIUI 12 on board, it will not be possible to return to MIUI 11 or lower in this way.
Downloading and preparing to install factory firmware
It was previously mentioned that Google does not allow you to return your phone settings to their original state, so you won’t be able to find the required firmware file on official websites. Users will have to look for a preliminary version of Android on third-party services and forums, such as w3bsit3-dns.com. However, before installation, it is recommended to make sure that the resulting file is not infected with viruses.
Huawei smartphones will no longer receive security patches and updates for Android. the manufacturer’s license has expired
After August 13, 2020, Huawei smartphones and tablets, including Honor brand devices,
will stop
receive security patches and updates for Android. The manufacturer’s temporary license to work with Google has expired. The US administration does not plan to extend this agreement further in order to limit Huawei’s capabilities and development.
Until mid-August, users of Huawei smartphones and tablets released before May 16, 2021 received all the necessary security updates and support for Android applications and services. Huawei continued to cooperate with Google until the very last moment, until the current Temporary General License expired. The US Department of Commerce issued this document to the company for a certain period, during which American telecommunications companies had to replace the installed Huawei equipment with products from other manufacturers (Nokia, Juniper and others). Currently, this procedure is almost completed and the United States is not interested in further extending the license.
Experts fear that without updating their security systems, Huawei and Honor smartphones will soon no longer pass system checks SafetyNet
. After this, mobile device users will be blocked from accessing Google Pay services, banking resources, and mobile games.
Huawei stated that it is monitoring the situation and assessing the possible consequences of the incident. The company’s specialists will themselves release the necessary patches and updates for smartphones and tablets. However, if these programs and patches do not pass Google Mobile Services (GMS), they will not be deployed to users or will be delayed. The manufacturer plans to soon completely abandon GMS and use its own ecosystem — Huawei Mobile Services
( HMS
).
Earlier in early August this year, the head of Huawei’s consumer division, Richard Yu , told
that the company is running out of Kirin processors for smartphones due to US sanctions. Starting September 15, 2020, Huawei will stop producing this line of processors altogether.
On August 17, the US administration reported
, which plans to impose sanctions against another 38 branches of Huawei in 21 countries in order to undermine its technological growth.
Android installation
It is important to emphasize that changing the settings and installing Android yourself will make it impossible to return the phone under warranty. Most service centers consider such intervention unacceptable, therefore, if careless attempts to roll back the OS lead to a malfunction, the repair will be paid regardless of the warranty period.
Photo camera
The main resolutions of the main camera are 8 10 13 MP. The focal length of the first lens is 26 mm, aperture f/18. Thanks to the AI function that coordinates photo sensors, automatic shooting modes are available to the user.
- “Night” — shooting mode in low light conditions.
- “Portrait” — allows you to take high-quality pictures
- “Aperture” — increases the aperture and depth of field of the image.
- “Video” — recording high quality video clips
Intelligent modules provide limitless photography possibilities in Pro mode. An experienced user can manually adjust the camera and take a professional photo by changing the light sensitivity, aperture and shutter speed.
Pro mode offers the use of a panorama effect, time lapse, mask, music and background overlay. In the camera interface, you can enable the auxiliary grid and quickly launch the application. You can open additional menus by swiping to the right.
The selfie camera uses a 24MP sensor, with a focal length of 26mm, similar to the head camera. Despite the smaller aperture, f/2.0 is a powerful tool for creating portraits. If you want to blur the background, you need to enable the corresponding function.
Partial reset
If it is necessary to delete partial information, you must:
- Launch the application « Settings
» - Scroll to the bottom of the menu.
- Select menu item “ System
» - Find item « Reset
«, open it. - Select « Reset all settings
» - Confirm the action.
Via recovery
Rolling back the Android firmware on Huawei and Honor via Recovery is impossible, since resetting the settings to the factory level only deletes third-party applications and files (including photos, videos, contacts) previously installed by the user. The operating system remains unchanged.
The exception is devices with older software versions. They retain the function of returning to previous software.

TWRP is a custom recovery installed by default on some smartphones. It is with its help that Android will be rolled back to the previous version. Since this Recovery is found only in a small number of devices, you need to download it yourself. The easiest way without root rights is to use ADB and Fastboot.
[su_note note_color=»#abdb6c» text_color=»#000000″]Note that this method will require a computer and an unlocked bootloader on the phone.[/su_note]
So, first of all, to install TWRP, we start a computer or laptop running the Windows operating system. Now we load the Minimal ADB and Fastboot package onto it, containing the ADB and Fastboot utilities necessary for operation. Run the downloaded file and follow the installer’s simple instructions.
After installation, go to the selected directory and check for the presence of two applications: ADB and Fastboot.
We return to the phone and enable the “USB Debugging” mode on it. How to do this is described in detail in the previous method. After that, connect the device to the computer using a USB cable.
On the PC, launch the command line as administrator (Start menu — “cmd.exe”). Enter the command cd Path_to_folder_with_ADB into it. For example, the folder with programs is located at the root of drive C, then enter the request cd C:Minimal ADB and Fastboot and press “Enter”. Next, we check the visibility of the smartphone utility by entering the adb devices command.
At the next stage, download the TWRP Recovery image file specifically for your phone to your computer. To do this, go to the official website of the developer, look for the desired device model and complete the download.
[su_note note_color=»#abdb6c» text_color=»#000000″]By the way, if your device is not on the list, you can search for TWRP Recovery on third-party forums.[/su_note]
Transfer the downloaded file to the folder where the ADB and Fastboot applications are located. For clarity, we recommend changing its name to “twrp.img”.
Open the command line and enter the request adb reboot bootloader. After pressing the “Enter” key, the phone should go into Fastboot mode, which will be indicated by the corresponding picture on the screen.
Now you can go directly to installing custom recovery. At the command line, enter the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, where twrp.img is the image file with TWRP, which was renamed earlier. Upon successful completion of the procedure, a corresponding message will appear on the PC screen.
Next, reboot the phone in normal mode by entering the fastboot reboot command. After this, you can proceed to flashing the device. First of all, we download the archive with the firmware to the computer, which does not need to be unpacked. Then we transfer the necessary files to the memory card and insert it into the phone. It is important to choose a folder that contains a simple and understandable name in English.
[su_note note_color=»#abdb6c» text_color=»#000000″] Note that to transfer files to a memory card it is better to use a card reader. [/su_note]
Now go to the “Recovery” menu by simultaneously pressing one of the pairs of the following buttons:
Next, in the “Recovery” menu, perform the following actions:
When the installation is successfully completed, a corresponding message will appear on the screen. All that remains is to reboot the device by clicking the “Reboot System” button.
Via computer (hisuite)
In the usual sense, a hard reset is not possible through the Huawei HiSuite program for PC. You can delete files manually for each menu item.
For this you need:
It is impossible to completely restore the standard appearance of the device in this way, but you can get rid of unnecessary applications and junk. HiSuite works when connecting any Huawei device from Honor 10 to Mate 20 Pro.
Results
The design of the Honor 10X Lite smartphone looks fresh due to the placement of the fingerprint scanner on the end edge and the front camera embedded in the screen.
The bright IPS screen has FullHD resolution and a large diagonal of 6.67 inches. Good autonomy of the smartphone is provided by a capacious 5000 mAh battery and support for fast charging. The 22.5 W power adapter can charge the device by 45% in half an hour.
The smartphone’s arsenal is complemented by an NFC module, 128 GB of on-board memory, a 3.5 mm audio jack, a tray for simultaneous placement of two SIM cards and a memory card.
Photographic capabilities are represented by four rear cameras, their characteristics are quite consistent with the price category of the device. With a conscious approach to shooting, cameras can take decent pictures.
The main camera shoots well up to ISO 800, shooting at 48 megapixels adds detail, but it is wise to use this mode at minimum ISO values. The wide-angle camera is suitable for daytime shots.
If there is insufficient lighting, you should switch to night mode.
Video from the main camera at 60 frames per second is noticeably inferior to video with 30 frames per second in terms of edge clarity. At night, the difference in quality becomes even more noticeable — video with 30 frames per second is sharper, clearer and with less noise.
One of the features that you need to pay attention to when choosing is the lack of Google services.
In general, the Honor 10X Lite smartphone will definitely find its place in the mid-price segment due to its performance and characteristics.

Other interesting options can be found in the settings section. Just enter your query into the search bar located at the top of the menu.
