Why the update does not arrive
There are a number of models for which there is no version of the new shell at all. If you fall into this category, then don’t wait for it. If an update needs to be released on your smartphone, then write to technical support.

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 a PC, through developer rights and USB debugging.
- Using Bootloader.
Let’s study each method in detail.
How to remove an application update on Android
You cannot erase the update of a specific application on Android. You can only stop installing subsequent patches. To do this, go to the settings in the “Applications” section. Find the required software in the list and click on “Stop updates”.
How to uninstall the latest OS update using utilities
There is no need to uninstall the latest update. This is done automatically. That is, as soon as you have started the installation of a new version, the old one will be deleted by the system.
Over the air update
Over-the-air update is the installation of a new version using FOTA. This is done using the following algorithm:
- go to settings;
- select the “About phone” section;
- tap on the line “System update”;
- option — “Online”.
Then everything will be done automatically. Do not turn off the machine until the reinstallation process is complete. It is recommended to use a Wi-Fi hotspot as it takes up a lot of data. If during reinstallation the mobile Internet ends, the device will freeze. In addition, mobile modules are turned off and turned on again at the time of reboot.
Tablet firmware update
All Huawei and Honor equipment work 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.
With hisuite
Install the proprietary HiSuite utility on your PC and phone. This is necessary in order to establish contact between the devices. Next, log in, confirm pairing and select the version for your model. Wait for the procedure to complete and reboot the gadget.
Downloading and preparing to install factory firmware
You won’t be able to find the required firmware version on the manufacturer’s official website. The only solution is to find it on the Internet, but we highly recommend not doing this. It’s better to go to the 4PDA forum. There you will find many OS versions for your phone model, and you can also read user reviews and discussions.
Smartphone stuck during update
Freezing is a sign that the equipment cannot “carry” the load that you ask of it. Wait 20-30 minutes, and if the device gets very hot, abort the installation process. If the situation is resolved, be sure to write about this situation to the support service so that the administrators take this feature into account.
Installing android
Have you downloaded the update file? Open it on your phone. Confirm the procedure and provide the necessary permissions that the system requires. We remind you! Rolling back the Android firmware on Huawei and Honor will destroy the existing warranty on the gadget. If you recently purchased a smartphone, you will not be able to return it to the store with a warranty card.
Via bootloader
The next solution involves using a Bootloader or bootloader. It includes several OS versions. Installing the required firmware through the “Bootloader” occurs in several stages.
Via recovery
Some users are confident that the Recovery menu will allow them to install the required firmware. In fact, the system menu will not allow you to perform this procedure. The required function is simply not there. If you reset the settings to factory defaults by selecting “Wipe data/factory reset”, you will get a clean Android of the latest version.
