Honor 8 with Chinese firmware. Installing and updating Huawei and Honor firmware

Instructions on how to flash an Honor 8 Lite smartphone, changing the location and flashing HwOTA firmware, installing custom recovery TWRP recovery, non-official (modified) firmware

Absolutely all Huawei phones can be flashed via built-in recovery or via TWRP, it is an installer.

It is also possible to flash partial firmware via Fastboot (System, Boot, Cust, Recovery), which makes it possible, for example, to restore the phone’s functionality after user intervention with ROOT rights or a system failure. There are programs for installing firmware, such as Sony's Flashtool, but it's paid DC Phoenix.

Firmware for Honor 8 Lite via standard recovery

For the Honor 8 Lite smartphone, you can download the firmware from the link PRA-TL10C10B170 or any other firmware using the special firmware search program Hw Firmware Finder,) and then copy it to the “dload” folder on the internal memory of the device. If such a folder is not found, you will need to create it.

Free space on the internal storage must be at least 8GB; if you do not have this amount of free memory, use an SD memory card. The card must be in good working order and correspond to a reading class of at least 10.

The battery must be charged at least 50%, and preferably fully charged.

After copying the firmware to the smartphone, be sure to disconnect the USB cable from the PC, otherwise the smartphone will enter Manufacture Mode and the installation will fail at 5% or freeze at 90%. We go into forced firmware mode on the phone. To do this, turn off the smartphone and hold down three buttons – volume “+”, “-” and the power button.

After which the smartphone will boot from standard recovery and automatically begin the process of installing new firmware.

How to roll back an application update

Sometimes situations arise when it is necessary to return the previous version of the application. In this case, you need to know how to roll back a program update on Android in Honor 10 or another smartphone of this brand. Let us immediately note that the use of any additional program in this case is not necessary - everything can be solved by removing the new one and installing the program of interest.

To roll back the software, do the following:

Enter "Settings".
Go to "Security".
Go to “Advanced settings”, and here “Install applications from external sources”. The names of the items may differ depending on the Android OS on Honor.

Go back and go to the Applications section.
Find the program whose update you plan to roll back to Honor from Android.
Make a note of the version so you can rollback it correctly.

Click on the “Delete” button. Wait for the process to complete and proceed to the next step.
Find one of the trusted resources where you can download the required version of the application you are interested in. The most popular platforms include APKMirror, APKPure or w3bsit3-dns.com.
Find the required version to which you plan to rollback the software on Honor. Please note that downloading may require authorization on the sites listed above. To search, use the keyword and corresponding string on the sites above.
Find the application on your Honor phone using any of the available file managers.
Run the file and activate the download this way.
After installation is complete, immediately open the software or go to Settings to view the version of the downloaded software.
If you made a backup before running the job, move it to the application folder before running it.

The disadvantage of this method is that you need to look for old versions of the software you are interested in. Unfortunately, many programs are not always available on trusted resources. If you use other services, there is a high risk of getting viruses and damaging your PC/laptop.

Unlocking the bootloader of Honor 8 Lite

Get an unlock code on the Huawei website or for a fee on other resources.

We go to the official website using the link. In the upper right corner click on Unlock

ON the next page you need to go through the registration procedure. Fill in all fields and click Register.

Then it’s more interesting. Many people simply press next and follow the instructions, but here you must first select Register Email Address, because By default, registration via phone is selected (Asian numbers only). We select and see the human account registration window. Enter all the data, as in the picture below.

After successful registration, you are automatically authorized on the site and transferred to the agreement page.

Next, according to the scenario, here is the page where you need to enter your phone data: – In the first field, select the EMUI version that is currently relevant for your honor 8 lite (new phones, such as P9 or MATE9, already have EMUI 5.0) – In the second field, do not touch anything – In the third field Product Model – In the phone, go to Settings – Scroll to the very bottom – About phone. The very first item Model is Che2-L11 (as an example for Honor 4x, it should be different for each model). I believe that the Chinese firmware says something completely different, you can of course enter what is written there, but if it doesn’t work, then we write it in the version like here. - In the fourth field. Serial Number – Remove the phone cover (or in the About phone settings menu). On the left is S/N:R8Q...... Let's rewrite this. – In the fifth field: Again, under the cover, or in the settings menu About phone – IMEI. But the case is already open anyway, so from here we take IMEI1:866...... If it doesn’t fit, we take IMEI2. – Sixth field: Product ID. Open the native dialer on your phone. Type the command *#*#1357946#*#* . We receive the code and enter it

Seventh field: Code from the picture. Let's check. And click COMMIT. If everything is correct, your treasured honor 8 lite bootloader unlock code will appear on the next page.

Enable “factory unlocked” (FRP unlocked) in the settings for developers or disable the PHONE SEARCH function from Huawei on Chinese firmware.

Download and install the minimum version of ADB-setup on your PC. Open CMD in the ADB (command prompt) folder by pressing Shift + right click, from the options select “Open command window”.

Put your smartphone into Fastboot/Rescue mode and connect it to your PC. To do this, turn off the phone, hold down the volume down button and connect the USB cable.

On a PC, in the command prompt window, enter the command

fastboot oem unlock
{your received code}

without {} signs.

Possible Android 11 problems on Huawei and Honor smartphones

There are a number of rules that should be followed in order to carry out the procedure without an accident. Little things like a non-working Home button or a charge of less than 30% already fail. Possible problems and how to deal with them:

The smartphone turned off during the update - reset the phone to factory settings and restart the installation procedure;
the update is in place - you should wait 10 seconds, if you don’t see the result, remove and reinsert the battery or press the volume buttons for 20 seconds;
the phone is not powerful enough and does not support the firmware - install an older version of Android;
If the update is not on the official website, wait and make sure that it is provided for your device.

For all other questions, we advise you to contact the support service via the feedback form or email specified in the contacts of the manufacturer.

Changing the location and updating the HwOTA smartphone firmware

This method will help you update to firmware that is not yet available for installation, or roll back to the previous firmware if the update turns out to be more buggy than the previous build (Android 8 over Android 8 with both an upgrade of the firmware build and a downgrade of the build), as well as carry out a downgrade (rollback to Android 7).

To change the location on your smartphone and flash it using the HwOTA method, you must have:

An unlocked bootloader or a code to unlock it (which will help unlock it);
Enable the factory unlock feature in the developer menu (for all regions except China). It is not available on Chinese phones until the location has been changed;
Enable the USB DEBUGGING function in the developers menu (a controversial point, just like the body in TvRP);
SD card at least 4 GB;
Stock recovery.

Firmware is a set of built-in software of a smartphone, tablet or other digital device necessary for its normal functioning. Huawei smartphones and tablets primarily use firmware based on the Android operating system of various versions, as well as the proprietary Emotion UI graphical shell.

How can I find out the current firmware version?

To check the current software version, you need to go to Settings – About phone/About tablet PC – System update. The version is the three numbers after the letter B. For example, build number V100R001C00B122 means that you have firmware version 122 installed. Any firmware with numbers greater than these is newer.

More details 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. MT1 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 is the firmware version itself. I think there is no need to explain that the higher it is, the newer the firmware.

Where can I download the official firmware for my model?

Currently, most smartphones with original software without modified system firmware files receive firmware updates using FOTA updates (Over-the-Air Update). If you received root rights, or you have not yet received the over-the-air update, then you can download the current firmware version yourself from the official website and install it manually.

Official Russian firmware:

You can download the current official Russian versions on the official consumer support website: https://consumer.huawei.com/ru/support/downloads/index.htm.

To search for the required firmware, enter the correct model name in English, for example, Honor 5X, or the service model number, for example, KIW-L21.

The Russian version of the firmware has full localization, a full set of Google Apps services, as well as pre-installed regional applications, such as Yandex search, Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte, etc.

Official European firmware:

You can download the latest versions of the official global and European firmware on the official Emotion UI download site: https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=list, as well as using the search on the consumer support portal: https:/ /consumer.huawei.com/en/support/index.htm.

To search for firmware on the emui.huawei.com portal, you must indicate the service model number of your smartphone or tablet, which can be found in Settings->About phone->Model.

Search on consumer.huawei.com supports searching by full model name and by service model name.

The official global firmware contains support for all major world languages, including Russian, as well as a pre-installed set of Google Apps applications.

Official Chinese firmware:

You can download the current version of the official Chinese firmware for your device on the official EMUI website: https://emui.huawei.com/cn/plugin.php?id=hwdownload, as well as using the search on the support portal: https://consumer.huawei .com/cn/support/index.htm.

After selecting the desired model from the list on the firmware portal emui.huawei.com, you will be taken to the model card, where the latest firmware version is presented. To download it, click on the turquoise button with the hieroglyph.

Please note that by default, Chinese firmware does not have Google Apps services, as well as Russian language in the system settings.

After downloading the firmware, use one of the manual installation methods described below.

Methods to update Android on Huawei Honor 20 phone

The Android operating system can be updated in different ways. There are both classic and alternative options. It is recommended that you review the update methods in the order in which they are presented in this material.

By air

This is the easiest and most common way to update your phone. The main condition, in addition to completing the preparatory procedures, is the presence of an Internet connection.

To install a new Android, you will need:

Go to device settings.
Go to the “About phone” section.
Read also: How to install a theme on Windows 10? What is dark theme?
Select "System Update".
Click the “Update” button.

Next, the phone will automatically search for updates. If they are available for this model, you will be prompted to download the firmware file and click the “Install” button. After this, the device will reboot and will be ready for further use.

Manually through settings

This option is suitable for cases when the smartphone cannot find an update over the air. To install the latest firmware version, you will first need to download the installation file from the developer’s official website. After placing the zip file in the device memory, you need to do the following:

Open phone settings.
Go to the system update section.
Click the button with three dots, and then click on the heading “Select firmware file.”
Specify the folder where the zip file was saved.
Confirm installation of updates.

The further process will not differ from the one presented earlier in the over-the-air updates. That is, the smartphone will reboot, and after installing the firmware it will be ready for use.

Manually via Recovery Mode

This option is similar to the previous method due to the fact that the firmware file must first be downloaded to the phone. But otherwise the process will be very different, since installation will require going to the engineering menu (Recovery Mode).

To go into recovery, you need to turn off the device and hold down the power button and the top volume rocker for a few seconds. If nothing happens, you should change the combination to the power button and the bottom rocker.

Provided that everything is done correctly, the recovery menu will light up on the screen. To navigate it, use the volume buttons, and confirm the action by pressing the power button.

You need to select “Reboot system now” if you want to update over the air. The “Apply update from ADB” parameter is responsible for installing the firmware from the internal storage, and the “Apply update from SD card” parameter is responsible for installing the firmware from the memory card. Having selected the appropriate item, all that remains is to confirm the operation and wait for the process to complete.

Firmware installation and update

A local update always deletes user-supplied data and settings from the device's memory. Before you start updating the software using this method, we recommend that you make a backup copy of all data that is important to you using a backup application, as well as save other necessary information from the device’s memory (for example, to a memory card).

When updating online or FOTA, user data is saved. Despite this, we also recommend performing a backup before this update.

Before starting the procedure, make sure that your device's battery is charged to at least 60%.

To connect Huawei smartphones and tablets to a PC, you need the HiSuite utility. Install it on your PC before starting the update.

What you need to know before updating your smartphone firmware:

The firmware file should be called UPDATE.APP;
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!

New interface

EMUI 10 has received a slightly updated design. This manifests itself in changing color shades and rounded corners of application icons. Also, the edges of the screen have been rounded to ensure integrity.

In general, there is a noticeable trend towards minimalism, which has been actively promoted recently. Small touches, refinement of fonts and lines, smooth animation. All this adds up to create a new interface.

In addition, navigation gestures in the shell are being actively developed. Artificial intelligence actively helps in the work. Namely, it monitors the user’s actions and tries to detect frequently performed actions. Using these observations, the smartphone identifies applications popular with the user and optimizes their launch. That is, frequently used applications will launch faster.

Local firmware update:

A local update is used if the innovations are large-scale; in addition, this method restores the system to its original form and, in most cases, eliminates the possibility of problems with increased battery consumption in the first days after the update.

Copy the UPDATE.APP file from the archive with the firmware to the dload folder on the memory card.
Go to the Settings-Storage-Software Update menu and start the update process (Settings->Storage->Software Upgrade->SD card Upgrade->Confirm->Upgrade).
Wait for the update process to complete.

Pros and cons of automatic updates

Knowing how to disable updates on Android Honor, you can always avoid unnecessary software downloads and annoying reminders. But before turning it off, you need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of such a step.

For software

If you decide to disable software updates on Honor 10 or other brand devices, pay attention to the features. Despite a number of advantages, many recommend disabling updates on the Honor 8X, so we will list the advantages and disadvantages.

pros

The entire process occurs automatically and only requires confirmation from the owner;
After downloading the software to Honor, you can count on improved functionality and the addition of new options;
The new version often fixes existing problems;
Minimal risk of receiving broken software;
No risk of program conflicts;

Minuses

The risk of errors occurring during downloading, for example, in the event of a loss of Internet. In this case, you may lose all existing data. To avoid such consequences, it is important to make a backup copy;
The new version does not always work stably. This is relevant if fixing software errors was done hastily. In this case, various difficulties may arise in the operation of Honor or certain applications;
Updating the software takes some time, so this process is carried out at night;
After automatic execution of the work, Honor remains inoperative until a special code is entered (if specified) and unlocked.;

Forced local update via 3 buttons:

This firmware update mode is an emergency mode and will work even if the device does not boot normally.

Create a dload folder in the root directory of the SD card.
Copy the UPDATE.APP file to the dload folder on the memory card.
Turn off your smartphone.
Press the Volume Up + Volume Down keys and turn on the smartphone, while the Volume Up + Volume Down keys should remain pressed for ~5 seconds after pressing the power button.
Wait for the update process to complete.

Over the air (FOTA) update:

For this type of update, it is advisable to use a high-speed network connection, such as Wi-Fi.

To update using this method, you need to go to the Settings – About phone – System update section and select “Online update”.
After which the device will connect to the network and if an update is available, click the “Download” button. After clicking it, the update files will be downloaded, then the “Install” button will appear. When you press it, the device will reboot, install the update and turn on in normal mode. The update package files will be deleted from memory automatically.

Please note that if the device has been elevated (root), a recovery other than the original one has been installed, and the system has been modified using this elevation, the update using this method will most likely fail and the phone will turn on in normal mode after rebooting.

Update using 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.
We 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 site. 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 asked to save our phone data. We select the necessary backup items, if necessary, and confirm the choice. Or 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 installation 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 are waiting for the successful completion of the firmware in the form of a tick. The phone will reboot itself.
We turn off the phone and see a window on it about updating applications. We are waiting for the operation to complete.
We go to the settings and in the update item we make sure of the version we have installed.

Possible errors during updating and how to resolve them:

Q: When turned on with the volume buttons held down, the firmware process does not start.

A: Try writing the firmware file to the dload folder again. If it still doesn't start, try starting the update process through the settings menu.

Q: The device turned off and will not turn on.

A: Wait a few minutes. If it doesn’t turn on, turn it on yourself, the process should continue normally.

Q: During the update, the process froze at some point and does not go further.

A: Wait five to ten minutes. If the device continues to hang, remove and reinsert the battery. For devices with a non-removable battery, you need to press and hold (15 seconds) the power button and both volume buttons.

Is it worth rolling back the system to Android?

The question of whether it is worth rolling back the Honor 20 update from Android to an older version is something everyone decides on their own. If we talk about software, this procedure is risky and requires preliminary preparation. It is relevant when, after installing a new version of the software, serious errors occur and the smartphone refuses to work correctly. For example, the speaker or some function stopped working (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). In this case, it is logical to reset to factory settings or go back just one version according to the scheme discussed above.

A similar situation occurs when you need to roll back an update of an application. This need arises if the new version works with errors or some important functions are missing. To return to the desired option, you cannot do without uninstalling the old software and installing a program that was downloaded from third-party resources.

Now you know how to roll back an update to Honor 10 for Android, in what order to proceed, and why you need to take such steps. In the comments, tell us if you tried to return to older software on Honor, whether you were able to return to an older version of the application, and what difficulties arose when doing this work.

Tablet firmware update:

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.zip;
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.

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 the 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, there is no 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 you copy 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 don’t want to accidentally update your tablet again!

Preparatory stage

Despite the fact that each subsequent firmware version brings a lot of new functions, after the update some smartphones are unstable. This happens when the user ignores the preparation step.

Before installing updates on Huawei Honor 20, you need to meet 2 basic requirements:

charge your smartphone at least 30%;
perform a factory reset.

And if everything is clear with the first point, then the second raises many questions for some people. Resetting to factory settings completely deletes files from the smartphone's memory. This allows you to avoid errors when installing updates.

Of course, no one wants to lose personal data, so before resetting you need to create a backup:

Open settings.
Go to the "Storage and Backups" section.
Click on the Google Drive heading.
Activate the backup.

Performing these steps will result in the backup file being uploaded to cloud storage. After updating Android, it can be restored.

If there is not enough space on Google Drive to save all the data, it is recommended to create a backup copy through the “Backup and Restore” item. The resulting file should be moved to another device (for example, a computer) during the flashing process, and after the process is completed, return it back to the phone’s memory.

If the backup has been successfully created, you can safely proceed to restoring the phone to factory settings:

Launch device settings.
Go to the "Backup and Reset" section.
Select “Reset settings”.
Click the Reset Phone button.
Confirm the operation.

Now you need to reboot your smartphone, and then proceed directly to the process of installing new firmware.
