How to flash Huawei: step-by-step instructions, necessary programs and expert advice — Huawei Devices

What you need to know before updating your smartphone firmware:

• Only FAT32 format cards can be used. Preferably less than 4 GB;
• The firmware must be located on the SD card in the dload folder;
• You cannot use the device’s built-in memory (except for those devices that do not have a Micro-SD slot);
• The file with the firmware should be called UPDATE. APP;
• During the firmware installation, the device will reboot several times — this is normal;
• If there are several folders in the archive with the firmware (step1, step 2, etc.), then flash all the files one by one.
• During a local firmware update, all data on the internal memory of your smartphone will be deleted!

Attention! Everything you do with your device is at your own peril and risk! No one guarantees the correct operation of the device during and after installing third-party firmware and/or other actions not provided by the manufacturer!

If the firmware has not started: method 2

You need to remove the flash drive from the tablet and connect the turned on tablet to the computer using the same cable. The main difference from the standard installation is that the unpacked firmware file must be dropped into the internal memory in the dload folder. This is what we do.

Next, disconnect the device from the computer, go to the “Calculator” and enter ()()2846579()()=. Hidden settings will open. There we select the “Project Menu Act” section. When it opens, click “Upgrade”. In the new window you need to select “SD card upgrade”.

Then the last menu we need will open, in it we click “SD card upgrade Internal Storage”. After these simple steps, the tablet will undergo a forced reboot, then the robot will appear again and the software installation will begin. If this does not happen, it means that a mistake was made somewhere and you need to try again.

When the tablet boots up, you should not touch it for some time, as it will receive updates for the touchscreen and modem, after which the device will reboot again. This completes the installation.

“brick” — what is it?

“Android” began its journey back in 2009, and since then the developers have been promoting and improving the shell, without sleep or rest. Updates and new versions are regularly released. As a rule, a user buys a gadget with an operating system already installed on it, and throughout the entire “life” of the device, the firmware of this version (operating system version) remains.

Here, many novice users who are familiar with Android at a level no higher than installing applications from the Play Market “grow wings.” Having read various instructions on the World Wide Web, they think that reinstalling the OS is not a difficult task and that they can handle it themselves.

In this case, there are various scenarios for the development of events. The most unfortunate of them is when the phone turns into a brick. You may have heard this phrase before but didn’t understand what it meant. “Bricking” or “bricking” of a device means that it partially or completely stops working.

That is, it does not turn on, does not respond to pressing buttons or connecting to a computer. Is it possible to restore a bricked Android? Of course you can. Hence the name — brick, because the functionality of the gadget is now no more than that of a stone, and now you can only crack nuts with it. It is quite difficult to bring the device to such a state; it requires talent.

If the firmware has not started: method 1

The firmware process has not started, but you shouldn’t panic right away: there are two simple ways to solve this problem (the firmware files should already be on the flash drive in the dload folder). First: you need to start the tablet and go to the “Calculator”.

There you need to dial the combination ()()2846579()()=. After this, the hidden service menu will launch. Open “Project Menu Act”, in the next window click “Upgrade”. Next, select “SD card upgrade” and finally, “SD card upgrade External Storage”.

If after these steps the tablet automatically starts rebooting, then this is not an error; on the contrary, everything was done correctly. Next, the green robot should appear again on the entire screen and a scale showing the progress of the system installation.

However, it may happen that this method did not help. There is no need to despair, as there is another option. It is a little more complicated than the one described above, but still…

In order to install any original firmware, you must do the following:

1. Copy the dload folder with all its contents to the root of the SD card;
2. Turn off tablet
   ;
3. Insert the SD card if it was removed;
4. 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);
5. 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!

Despite the fact that this spring the United States imposed sanctions on Huawei and prohibited it from using the developments of American enterprises in its smartphones, only two devices out of almost a dozen that the company has presented so far turned out to be incompatible with Google services.

As it turned out, the Chinese managed to find a loophole that allowed them to continue producing mid-range devices, having legal grounds for pre-installing the services of the search giant. With updates, everything was somewhat more complicated, but Huawei managed to defend the right of its users to Android 10 and has already begun distributing it among them.

Huawei has released Android 10 for ten of its smartphones, but you can only install them in a tricky way

In fact, Huawei released Android 10 for ten of its smartphones a week ago. True, at first only devices intended for sale in China received the update, and then in several other countries. At the same time, for some reason the update only partially reached Russia, becoming available on smartphones only for selected users. However, we found out how you can request the installation file even if your smartphone has not yet received it.

How to turn on a Huawei phone.

To turn on the Huawei hg8245h, p20, e3372h touch phone, you must do the following:

— Press and hold the Power key until the phone vibrates. — If the phone was turned on but the screen went dark, press and release the Power key to turn on. — A lock image will appear on the screen, to unlock the screen, drag the lock icon or press to it. — When prompted to enter a code, enter the PIN code from your SIM card. In most cases this is 0000 and press OK — wait until the phone starts up.

Note: The PIN code for the SIM card is located on a plastic card or in a package received when purchasing a SIM card at a mobile phone store. But be careful, if the PIN code is incorrect three times, you can activate the SIM card only through the PUK code, which is also included in the package received when purchasing the SIM card.

If the PUK code is lost, it can only be restored using the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation for which the SIM card is issued. Therefore, do not enter your PIN incorrectly more than three times. If you have lost your PIN code and there is no way to recover it through your telecom operator, you can do the following.

Cancel the PIN code prompt when turning on your Huawei 701u, l21, g750 dual sim phone. To do this, find another SIM card with a PIN code you know (you can assign a PIN code in the settings) and insert it into your phone. Turn on the phone according to the steps described above, when entering the password, enter the PIN code you know from another SIM card.

After successfully turning on the phone, go to the phone settings and cancel the PIN code prompt when turning on the Huawei p10 — dpi phone. Having done this, turn off the phone and change the SIM cards. Now, when you turn on the phone, the system will not require you to enter a PIN code.

This is, of course, elementary advice, but there are solutions to more serious problems.

Advice. The SIM PIN is initially provided by your network operator, but can be changed in the Settings menu. To correct an error when entering your SIM card PIN, tap the “Delete” icon.

How to unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery (instructions)

Your data is subject to deletion. If you need to save important information, we recommend making a backup. You perform all your actions at your own peril and risk. Please note that the author is not responsible for the “bricking” of the user’s smartphone.

How to copy files to or from a device that is stuck on constant downloading

If your Android device keeps booting up but won’t turn on completely, there is one way to copy files to or from it. Luckily, TWRP and CWMR include ADB drivers.

Open a command line on Windows or a terminal on Mac, then go to the directory where the ADB/Fastboot drivers are located.

ADB push filename(or folder) directory on your device

Example: ADB push /backup/ /sdcard/ — this command allows you to transfer the backup folder from your computer to the SD card that is built into the device.

ADB get filename(or folder) directory on your computer

Example: ADB get /downloads/ /backup – this command allows you to transfer the “downloads” folder from your Android device to the “backup” folder on your computer.

Now you know how to copy files from your smartphone to your computer and vice versa.

Myth 1. Incorrect flashing can kill a smartphone

A fall from the fifth floor can kill a smartphone, but not flashing it. The main problem that anyone who wants to reflash a smartphone faces is that during the installation of the firmware, a failure may occur, which will lead to its inoperability, and the smartphone will actually turn into a brick.

All this is true, but only on paper. To understand why, it’s enough to understand how the process of flashing a smartphone works and what system components are used. To be able to install third-party firmware on a smartphone, you need to unlock the bootloader (not in all cases), get root and install a custom recovery console (ClockworkMod or TWRP), capable of installing firmware with any digital signature.

The Recovery Console is stored in a separate section of the internal NAND memory and is in no way associated with the installed operating system. After installing a modified version of the console, it will be possible to flash custom firmware or even another OS (Firefox OS, for example).

In addition, any custom recovery console contains a backup/restore function, which allows you to make a backup copy of the main firmware and restore it unchanged (with all applications, settings and data) in case something goes wrong not this way. In fact, the smartphone can be returned to its original state.

You may ask: what happens if the installation of the recovery console itself fails? Nothing, in this case the situation will be the opposite, when the operating system itself will remain in place, and the console will be lost. To deal with it, you just need to re-flash recovery directly from Android.

Hypothetically, one can imagine a situation where both the firmware and the recovery console are killed (although this is quite difficult to do), but even in this case, the primary bootloader, flashed into the permanent memory of the smartphone, will always remain in place.

Conclusion: it is impossible to kill a smartphone by installing third-party firmware through a custom recovery console. Either the recovery or the primary bootloader will always remain in place.

Myth 2. custom firmware is unreliable

Firmware is different. On the vastness of the World Wide Web you can find a huge number of Android builds for every taste and color, and most of them are really slag, which can lead to instability in the operation of the smartphone and loss of some functionality.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-O84kF_h0Y

Second. There are two types of firmware: officially supported and ported by third-party developers. The same CyanogenMod, for example, has an official version for the Nexus 4 smartphone, but does not have one for the Motorola Defy. But for Defy there is an unofficial port of CyanogenMod 11 from a developer with the nickname Quarx.

Their difference is that the CyanogenMod team is responsible for the support and proper operation of the first, while the second is Quarx personally. Official firmware versions are usually fully functional, but the correct operation of the latter depends on the third-party developer.

And third. There are stable and development versions of the firmware. Stable versions of CyanogenMod have the index M (CyanogenMod 11.0 M7, for example). This firmware version usually does not contain bugs. Development versions (in the case of CyanogenMod these are daily nightly builds) may contain bugs and are therefore not recommended for everyday use.

Conclusion: if you install a stable official version of the “normal” firmware on your smartphone, the risk of encountering bugs is minimal. Everything else is for experimenters.

Myth 3. Software that requires root rights can brick a smartphone

In theory, an application with root rights can do anything with the smartphone’s firmware, including erasing it completely. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful with such software. The software we talk about on the pages of the magazine is completely safe and tested in our own skin.

Software distributed through Google Play usually fully corresponds to the stated characteristics, and if it led to a brick or left a backdoor in the depths of the smartphone, it would not last even a week in the store. In any case, here you need to follow the “trust but verify” rule and carefully read the instructions for using root applications.

Update with hisuite:

1. Download, install and update to the latest version the HiSuite program — a utility for synchronization, backup and much more from Huawei (contains ADB drivers).
2. To further flash the phone firmware, enable USB debugging in the phone settings in the developer section.
3. Launch the HiSuite program on your computer.
4. Connect the phone using a USB cable in HiSuite mode.
5. 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).
6. Select the EMUI ROM item in the HiSuite program.
7. The file download process begins.
8. 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.
9. 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.

Normal and forced update

For a normal update, you need to start the device and enter the system update module. Forced update is used only when the device cannot boot or go into standby mode.

Algorithm for the sequence of a regular update, which is performed before flashing Huawei:

1. Download the update package.
2. Format the Micro SD card.
3. Unpack the Update.zip package and copy the entire dload folder with UPDATE. APP to the root directory of the Micro SD card.
4. Now on the phone open the dialer and enter: * # * # 2846579 # * # * -> ProjectMenu-> Software Update-> SDCard Update-> OK, update process.
5. Select Update.app moved to the SD card in the root directory.
6. A screen will appear that shows the installation process, and wait for it to complete.
7. When the progress bar stops, the phone will automatically reboot.

Transition to original firmware

To flash the device, the user doesn’t even need to do USB debugging, go into Fastboot mode or the standard methods used in other Android phones because Huawei has made the process easy.

Before flashing Huawei via a computer, perform the following steps:

1. If the user still has access to the phone, be sure to back up everything on it because this process will erase everything.
2. Charge the battery as much as possible, at least more than 70%.
3. Go to the official Huawei website and download the firmware for your phone model, for example, Huawei Ascend G510.
4. On Windows, unzip the downloaded compressed file and copy it to the root of the microSD memory.
5. Turn off Huawei Ascend G510 or other model in use.
6. Before flashing Huawei, remove the battery for at least 10 seconds and put it back.
7. Then insert the microSD memory card into the phone.
8. Press the Volume Up, Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.

The phone will start, the update process may take about 10 minutes, after which the device will switch to the original firmware.

Preparing for firmware

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2PtArkcM28

First you need to determine exactly what firmware is needed. The fact is that in rare cases this can kill the device and then the help of a specialist will be required.

Before starting the firmware, you need to charge the tablet, as mentioned above, and have a computer and a USB cable, a flash drive with the FAT32 file system.

Since the memory is cleared, you need to transfer all important data to another location or make a backup copy to a memory card or computer. After this, you need to reset the settings to roll back the system to factory settings. Next, you need to insert the memory card into the tablet, and then connect it to the computer using a USB cable.

Open the memory card on the computer and save the archive with the firmware there, this should be the “dload” folder (inside which are the files update.app and unlmt.cfg).

Preparations for installing the new system are completed, after these steps you can begin to actually flash the tablet.

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 which version of the “base” the firmware is built on. 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.

Preliminary preparation of the device

You will need a MicroSD card of 8GB or more or internal memory to install the stock ROM. Pre-charge the phone to 100% and make sure there is enough battery to start the update process. Update operations may erase all user data.

Mandatory procedures that are performed before flashing Huawei:

1. Before flashing, you need to unzip the SD update_Package.tar.gz file and download UPDATE. APP to perform update operation on SD card. The Update.zip package always comes with the main update.app, which is the complete OS.
2. Make sure the latest USB drivers are available and installed.
3. Perform a full backup of the phone.
4. The user must be fully aware of the consequences of unsuccessful firmware, as well as the fact that any damage to the phone caused by these actions will be the responsibility of the owner.

Huawei modem firmware

As with mobile phone operating systems, USB modem firmware can be updated to improve the device’s performance. Some internet modems have connection and signal strength issues, and updating their firmware is often the solution.

Firmware update is almost the same as flashing a phone, during which the current firmware is replaced with a new one or an old one if you need to roll back the state of the device.

In order to flash a Huawei MTS modem, follow the procedure:

1. Download the firmware to your computer from the specialized website. Once the download is complete, you will need to unzip the file to extract the exe application inside.
2. Generate the unlock code and firmware for the modem using the Universal Mastercode software and copy them on a piece of paper.
3. Make sure the laptop or desktop UPS is fully charged and has a backup power line. If the power goes out during flashing, the modem will become useless.
4. Remove the SIM card from the Huawei USB modem, connect it to the computer and run the firmware update that you downloaded and extracted from the zip file.
5. Accept the terms of the agreement.
6. Firmware update begins.
7. Wait a minute while the update scans the USB ports for the modem.
8. Once the Huawei modem is detected, the program will display the current firmware version and the new update.
9. Press the “Start” button and the device firmware update will be completed.

Unlock bootloader on Huawei and honor

Unlocking the bootloader is currently supported by almost all models of gadgets, and the procedure itself generally goes in the same direction, but there are some nuances from different manufacturers. In this article we will look at the unlocking process using the Huawei Honor phone as an example.

Before you begin, you need to understand two things: 1. You will almost certainly lose your warranty and will not be able to count on free service;2. During unlocking, all user data will be deleted and the device will return to factory settings, i.e. to its original state at the time of purchase.

This is important! Huawei has stopped providing free unlock codes. How to get the Huawei bootloader unlock code, only a paid method on our forum.

All responsibility and consequences of unlocking the bootloader lie with the owner of the device. Do not remove the lock unless you have experience and understanding of the potential hazards, including damage to the device.

Codes are issued from the Huawei factory in accordance with your IMEI specified in the order. The codes are original and errors in issuing codes are excluded. The reason that the code does not work can only be an error in the IMEI when ordering or a violation of the original software of the phone.

Unlocking a Huawei phone, smartphone, tablet, router, modem using factory codes is the most correct unlocking method provided by the manufacturer. The factory bootloader unlock code works on all previous, current and future firmware of any security and Android version. This is the original Huawei factory code.

1. On the phone, turn on the special “For Developers” mode — to do this, in Settings — About phone, click many times (about more than 10 times) on “Build number”;

2. Then in the “Settings” — “For Developers” section, enable “USB Debugging”, as well as “Allow Factory (OEM) Unlocking” (relevant for owners of phones with international (non-Chinese) firmware versions EMUI 4.1 and higher ). Example: Honor

3. Install ADB drivers. Here are also MTK drivers or ADB. (On Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, drivers are installed with signature verification disabled)

Scenario two: the firmware works, but recovery is not available

This can happen after an unsuccessful installation or update of the Recovery Console. The problem is that after rebooting the smartphone and turning it on while holding down the volume down button, a black screen appears, after which the smartphone either resets or freezes.

Solving this problem is not easy, but very simple. You can install the recovery console on the vast majority of smartphones using the TWRP Manager, ROM Manager or ROM Installer applications. They themselves determine the smartphone model, download and flash the required recovery, without requiring a reboot.

Scenario one: after an unsuccessful flashing, the smartphone stopped booting

Unsuccessful flashing can be caused by several factors: the battery ran out and the firmware was only half filled, the firmware turned out to be faulty or was intended for a different smartphone model. In the end, there was simply not enough space on the smartphone, which can happen when trying to install the latest version of Android on a smartphone that is three or four years old.

Outwardly, all these problems usually manifest themselves either in endless resets of the smartphone to the initial manufacturer logo, or in the so-called boot loop, when the boot animation plays on the screen for more than five to ten minutes. There may also be problems with the screen (multi-colored ripples) and a non-working touch screen, which also prevent the use of the smartphone.

In all these cases, it is enough to do one simple thing: turn off the smartphone by long pressing the power button, then turn it on while holding down the volume down button (some smartphones use a different combination), and after you get into recovery, reinstall the firmware (Install zip from sdcard -> Chooze zip from sdcard) or restore the backup (Backup and restore -> Restore). Everything is easy and simple.

Scenario three: neither firmware nor recovery is available

Honestly, it’s hard for me to imagine such a scenario, but, as practice confirms, it is quite real. There are two ways to get out of this situation: use fastboot to upload recovery to your smartphone, or use a tool from the manufacturer to install stock firmware. We’ll look at the second method in more detail in the next section, and I’ll talk about fastboot here.

Fastboot is a tool that works directly with the device’s primary bootloader and allows you to upload firmware to your smartphone, recovery and unlock the bootloader (in Nexus line devices). Fastboot support is available in many smartphones and tablets, but some manufacturers block the ability to use it. So you will have to consult the Internet about its availability.

To access fastboot, you will need drivers and Android SDK. When they are installed, open the command line, go to the SDK installation directory, then to the platform-tools directory, turn off the smartphone, turn it on with the volume buttons pressed (both) and connect it using a USB cable to the PC. Next you need to find the recovery image in .img format for your device and run the command:

 $ fastboot flash recovery образ.img 

Or even force the smartphone to boot recovery without actually installing it:

 $ fastboot boot образ.img 

In the same way you can flash the official firmware update:

 $ fastboot update файл-обновления.zip 

You can find a recovery suitable for your device either on the TWRP website or in the XDA-Developers and w3bsit3-dns.com forums.

Via edl mode

No one is immune from turning a working Xiaomi into a “brick” during serious system operations, be it flashing or obtaining root rights. If you consider yourself an experienced user, let’s figure out how to return your smartphone to normal.

“Smartphone bricking” is a slang expression meaning a device that is completely inoperative after any manipulation. In this case, the phone does not turn on and does not respond in any way to attempts to start it.

EDL mode on Xiaomi phones is a software project that allows you to install various firmware without the help of recovery, root rights and an unlocked bootloader. There are several ways to log into EDL, which we will cover below.

This mode will help if an update released by the developers or custom firmware was installed incorrectly. If the smartphone is damaged mechanically, EDL will be completely useless.
