How to reflash a Huawei phone

Cellular devices provide us with the opportunity to call everyone, a dialogue with whom we consider extremely important for ourselves or quite pleasant.

We are grateful to the inventors for the fact that we can make calls in any space without being tied to the city telegraph, as was the case in the recent past.

Neither distance nor time of day will be an obstacle to making a call, so it is not surprising that every modern person has at his disposal a mobile device, among the varieties of which the Huawei brand stands out.

Firmware for the popular Huawei Honor smartphone will not require much effort.

Purposes and reasons for flashing

Unfortunately, even this “true friend” can cause small problems, provoke confusion and negative reactions. This happens when, during operation, it refuses to perform a number of functions.

In this case, you have to solve the problem radically by introducing yourself into its software, namely updating or installing a new firmware version.

What does the new firmware provide?

This can be done by technicians from the service center, but there is an alternative option when you yourself study the material on how to flash a Huawei phone, after which, rolling up your sleeves and armed with increased attention, carry out all the important manipulations.

The new U8860 firmware will not only make the phone function successfully, but will also open up new unique features that you will be able to appreciate right away.

Please also keep in mind that after flashing the firmware, the update process will not only be successful, but also automatic.

Before starting such a responsible manipulation, it is only important to figure out whether you are interested in official firmware or custom one.

The custom version is an unlicensed product made by craftsmen. However, quite often it is custom firmware that is most in demand, since it is accompanied by a large number of new features.

Why is the update not coming?

You need to update your phone regularly to have full access to new features from developers.
But keep in mind that they provide the upgrade in batches - that is, each model in turn. If the update does not arrive, then all the user can do is wait. Users constantly want to look for new opportunities and keep up with technological developments. An upgrade is an effective way to prepare your smartphone for new functions. The main thing is to do it correctly and use trusted sources.

Firmware process

So, after making a decision regarding who will flash the smartphone, you can draw up the entire subsequent algorithm of actions.

If you do not want to waste time on such manipulations, so you prefer to give your Huawei phone to a service center, prepare some money for the technicians who will undertake to flash your mobile unit.

If you decide to learn the basics of such actions yourself, arm yourself with important knowledge of how to reflash a Huawei phone, thoroughly study the algorithm that will install new firmware on your smartphone.

If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to contact a service center

Algorithm of actions (option No. 1)

Initially, “walk around” the Internet, read the information on thematic forums, and, in the end, find the firmware version that you would like to install on your Huawei phone.

Just remember that you cannot instantly trust all sites offering any product, lest you run into serious problems. You should check the site, read the reviews of other visitors, and only then download the file.

You can download the firmware only after you have indicated the exact model of your Huawei smartphone on the website. Someone else's firmware will harm your mobile device, so you can't treat it with composure.

Specify the model to select suitable software versions

After downloading, the folder will contain several download files. They all need to be installed one by one; you need to start the process only with a file called “Setup” and the extension “exe”.

Restart your PC, connect your Huawei phone to it using a USB cable, and wait until the bootloader window appears on the PC screen.

Among the list of devices, indicate your smartphone that you want to flash. Go to the “Active Phone” tab, find your specific model there.

In the next window called “Program Boot Loaders”, check the box that gives permission to activate the program responsible for loading the firmware. Below is the “Load Build Contents” button, you should click on it to load important files.

In the window that opens, you need to point to contents.xml, after which the “Download” button will immediately appear, which you need to click. After this, the download process will begin, you just have to wait. However, once completed, the program will ask for permission to format your Huawei phone.

Do not allow this to happen, immediately click on the “Cancel” button, this will prevent the loss of important data.

Now disconnect the USB cable after using the Safely Remove Hardware feature. Restart your computer and connect your Huawei phone to it again.

A window will appear on the screen again, but this time the program will ask you to enter a password. Practice shows that the word “Huawei” acts as a password. The items will immediately appear in the window, check the box next to each one, and then indicate the path where you saved the firmware file at the initial stage.

After specifying the path and clicking on the “Next” button, another window will appear on the screen again, in which it will be easy to find the “Scan and Download” button. Click on it and just freeze for a while without interfering with the ongoing process.

The Huawei 8860 firmware will start automatically, and you can simply watch its progress on the screen. When the program announces the completion of the process, click on “Ok”, disconnect the phone, and then reboot it. This completes the first method of installing a new firmware version.

Algorithm of actions (option No. 2)

If the first option of the action algorithm is more suitable for flashing a phone with a custom version, then the second is focused exclusively on the official version.

In this case, you must especially carefully follow all the advice of experienced users. First of all, you need to save the firmware only on the smartphone’s SD card, on which you first create a folder called “Dload”.

Experts recommend paying attention to such an important circumstance as the capacity of the SD card. Oddly enough, it is recommended that the volume does not exceed four gigabytes. If your SD card is large, it is better to take another one to carry out such manipulations.

By the way, it is strongly recommended not to rely on the built-in memory if you want to successfully flash your phone.

The firmware that is most important in this process should only be accompanied by the name UPDATE.APP.

During the installation of the firmware, your smartphone may suddenly reboot for you. Be calm, do not interfere with this process, since such reboots are confirmation that the process is carried out without problems and correctly.

If several files are loaded in the “Dload” folder, you will have to install each of them, setting the order.

Next, the process of installing a new firmware version can be carried out in two ways, so it is best to familiarize yourself with both of them, and then choose the one that is clear to the smallest detail and does not raise any questions for you.

So, having chosen the first method, turn off your mobile device, open the back cover and remove the battery, then put it back in place. This is not an empty action, so it should not be neglected or ignored. Removing the battery resets the fast boot settings.

Remove the battery for a while and put it back in place.

Now hold down the buttons responsible for adjusting the volume and press the power button. Release the volume buttons only after you find that the installation process has started successfully.

The second method involves some actions aimed at making changes to the settings of the mobile device. Initially, go to the main menu, go to the “Settings” submenu, then find the “Memory” line. After that, click on the “Software Update” section, new options will open in front of you, among which find “SD Card Update”.

The process starts again automatically, you just have to wait for it to complete successfully.

So, after studying the proposed algorithms, you can make sure that flashing a Huawei smartphone is not difficult. It is only important to remember that even one unwise decision or action can seriously harm your mobile device, so firmware is a case when you should not allow your own imagination, do not rely on personal instinct, but strictly follow the established algorithm. In this case, not only will the process be completed successfully, but you will also be able to enjoy the new features that have appeared.

Installing official firmware on Huawei

Reflashing an Android phone or tablet can solve many problems in the operation of the device and open up additional capabilities, but at the same time, it is not worth doing it unless unnecessary (the process for a user who does not have experience in this matter may turn out to be complicated and damage the device’s software).

Well, if you have already decided to take on this matter, let's figure it out step by step.

First, let's determine what firmware is on the device; this needs to be done through the settings menu -> about phone (tablet). You will get a long build number, firmware - the last three digits in this number. Accordingly, the higher the number, the more recent the firmware.

The official Huawei website has a very convenient support system through which you can download the necessary files (section “manuals and downloads”). Pay special attention to the exact correspondence of the downloaded files and the device model.

Firmware modified by users (custom) can provide significantly more capabilities, but are installed at your own peril and risk. Therefore, before using them, read the forums and user reviews.

Important note: Before you start using your phone or tablet, charge it to at least 60%.

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.

How to flash a Huawei smartphone

There are three ways to flash Huawei smartphones, let’s look at each of them in detail:

Update from memory card

Save all data from the internal memory of the device, it will be permanently deleted
You will need a fat32 SD card, preferably no more than 4 GB in capacity
Create a dload folder in the root of the card and copy the downloaded firmware there
Through Android settings -> software update, run the new firmware files from the memory card (UPDATE.APP)

If the device cannot start normally, then when you turn it on, hold down both the sound + and sound - keys for a few seconds. The update from the card will start automatically.

Update via connection to a computer via USB

Download the link from the proprietary program from the manufacturer HiSuite (a very convenient utility for working with files on your phone via a PC). Install it
We connect the communicator via USB, the software will automatically install on the mobile device
Using the EMUI ROM function in HiSuite

We indicate the update file saved on the PC and answer a couple of questions about data backup
The installation will begin, at this moment do not touch the computer and communicator at all until the process is completely finished

Automatic update via Wi-Fi

Everything here is extremely simple: you need to find the “online update” function in the settings - about the phone. Then everything will happen automatically, you just need to wait until Huawei reboots.

But, if you have already made non-original modifications to expand user rights (root rights), this method will not work for you, since the installation will be interrupted by an error.

If none of the presented methods suits you, we recommend contacting a Huawei smartphone service center.

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 of 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.

How to flash a Huawei tablet

The firmware for Huawei tablets is in many ways identical to the firmware for smartphones (see above). But there are a few subtleties:

When installing from a card and needing a reset/reboot, you need to hold down the “sound +” and “power” keys. Hold “Sound+” until the installation begins. (in most cases, a simple system reboot will initiate the update)
special trick. The update doesn't want to start? Type in the calculator ()()2846579()()="
In the menu that appears, launch the SD Card upgrade function

As you can see, it is quite possible to reflash a Huawei device without contacting service centers, although it will require some effort. I hope this article helped you understand this issue and avoid critical mistakes.

Possible mistakes

Honor 4C may display the following errors when updating:

The phone does not start the update process when you hold down the volume and power keys. The problem can be solved by overwriting the firmware file or replacing it with another one;
The phone stopped turning on after the flashing process was completed. You need to connect the charging cable, then hold the power button for several tens of seconds;
The firmware does not install and freezes at a certain point. The problem is solved by rebooting the device and removing the battery.

Make sure that the device is properly charged before the update process, and do not touch the device during flashing. These two unspoken rules will prevent your phone from becoming a brick.

Huawei is a famous Chinese smartphone manufacturing company. The brand is not only popular in China, but also has a good market share in the world. Like Xiaomi phones, Huawei devices run on their own custom skin (EMUI) of the Android platform. EMUI 8.0 is the latest update released by the company based on Android 8.0 Oreo firmware. Most supporting devices have already started receiving the update via OTA. But many users can manually download and install it. The below guide is what you will need to know before flashing Huawei. It will be useful for returning to standard firmware if errors were made during the recovery process.

Firmware* (firmware) is software built into a hardware device. Often represented as a firmware image file that can be loaded into the hardware.

Dear users, if your modem works with a SIM card from only one operator, then after updating the Firmware it will not work with any SIM cards. In order for the modem to work with SIM cards of any operator, it must be unlocked (unlocked). (The exception is the E3131 modem from Beeline Russia, it is unlocked after updating the Firmware.) How to unlock (unlock) the modem, read in the forum topic: Unlocking (unlocking) HUAWEI modems and routers

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. Therefore, if there is any important information, you need to make a backup before updating using your phone's backup guide.

Mandatory procedures that must be followed before flashing Huawei:

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

Why you need to update Android

The latest version of the operating system usually does not have the shortcomings of its predecessors. It is released by the developer, so you shouldn’t refuse such a “gift”. Optimization is better, there are fewer software errors, and there is incomparably more functionality.

The interface is being improved, power consumption is reduced, and new features (for example, a fingerprint scanner) appear that are useful in the everyday life of a modern person. There can be a lot of differences between the old and new versions of the OS.

So, having chosen the first method, turn off your mobile device, open the back cover and remove the battery, then put it back in place. This is not an empty action, so it should not be neglected or ignored. Removing the battery resets the fast boot settings.

Regular 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:

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

Switch 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:

If the user still has access to the phone, be sure to back up everything on it because this process will erase everything.
Charge the battery as much as possible, at least more than 70%.
Go to the official Huawei website and download the firmware for the phone model, for example, Huawei Ascend G510.
In Windows, unzip the downloaded compressed file and copy it to the root of the microSD memory.
Turn off Huawei Ascend G510 or other model in use.
Before flashing Huawei, remove the battery for at least 10 seconds and put it back.
Then insert the microSD memory card into the phone.
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.

Resetting a profile application

To do this you will need to follow the following path:

Go through settings to Applications. Select a subsection with the same name;
Click on the three vertical dots located at the top of the screen (right);
An additional list of commands is activated. In it you need to select “Show system”;
Now in the list, click on “Software Update” and go to Memory;
Use a tool that involves resetting the application.

Do the same with the “Download Manager”. That is, follow the same path, just go to the corresponding application and also reset it.

Stock software

If a user has a Huawei device, it is very important to update it to the latest version of the Android operating system, especially in cases where Huawei smartphones and tablets need to be updated, downgraded or repaired. To do this, the following requirements are met:

Check that the battery is charged at least 70%.
Purchase a 4 GB or larger SD card.
Unlock Huawei bootloader.
Download the firmware via Updater.
Download and unpack the Huawei Stock firmware and copy the UPDATE.APP file to the internal memory or SD card.
In the Huawei phone, go to the link: Settings => System => System update => Then click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner
Select the UPDATE.APP file
The device will begin updating.

An alternative method is that users can flash Huawei Honor by installing a stock ROM without turning off the device. To do this, create a new folder on the SD card> rename it dload> place the Update.App file> open Settings> About phone> System update and finally click on Local update to start the flashing process. After this, reboot the device.

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.

Installing TWRP recovery

Previously, ClockworkMod (aka CWM) was a common recovery for almost all major Android devices. Since then, a lot has changed, a new service has appeared, which has received many critical reviews, but also a huge user base. TeamWin Recovery Project, or TWRP for short, is a full-touch custom recovery that was originally designed for Nexus devices, but has since become available for countless other smartphones and tablets in the form of both official and third-party builds.

Before flashing a Huawei phone, create a new folder in the phone memory or on the SD card and rename it dload.
Download the Huawei Stock firmware and copy the update.zip file to the dload folder.
Enter the device into Twrp Recovery.
Turn off the device.
Press the volume up and the power button at the same time to enter the TWRP custom recovery.
They proceed to the installation, find the update.zip file and flash it.
Once the update process is completed, click Wipe cache/dalvik to clear the original ROM and reboot your Huawei device.

Installing Huawei firmware “dload”

In order to download the new version of “dload” firmware for Huawei you need to:

Go to the official website, but some Huawei firmware can only be found on a certain version of the site
Russian

Forgive our Chinese, but today’s topic allows us to start our review with this phrase. Recently, more and more Huawei smartphone users come to us with eyes sore from Chinese characters and applications.

SP Flash Tool Application

SP flash tool is an application that helps flash Stock ROM, custom recovery and patching in some extreme cases: firmware update, flash recovery, unfinished Android and Huawei device. SmartPhone FlashTool works with MediaTek Android smartphones (MTK based). You will first need to download the scattered file for your MTK based device to work.

Launch Flash_tool.exe.
Click on Scatter-loading, find Huawei and click Open.
Click on the “Download” button.
Connect Huawei Mobile.
Turn off the device.
Take out the battery.
Connect the device to the computer via a USB cable. The update process will begin automatically.

Tablet update

Before flashing your Huawei tablet, you can install a custom version of the software on the device, which is useful when completely installing the latest version of the Android operating system or another operating system. To do this, the tablet must be rooted, after which all current information on it will be erased.

Perform a backup copy of the tablet.
Before flashing the tablet, make sure that all important data is saved in a safe place. This will ensure the ability to recover data in the event of a failure or unstable operation of the tablet.
Before flashing Huawei Mediapad, root the tablet.

Click the “Security” or “Screen Lock” tab.
Click on the gray “Unknown sources” switch.
Install custom recovery. Custom recoveries allow you to select a downloaded file on Andro >

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:

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.
Generate the unlock code and firmware for the modem using the Universal Mastercode software and copy them on a piece of paper.
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.
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.
Accept the terms of the agreement.
The firmware update begins.

How to update your Honor phone online

This update method is the simplest and most accessible. The owner of the smartphone does not even need to download the firmware file from the manufacturer’s official website. The fact is that updates can be installed online, which involves automatically downloading the latest EMUI.

To install the firmware you will need:

Open device settings.
Go to the “System” section.
Click on “System Update”.
Click the “Check for updates” button.

After completing these simple steps, the system will start looking for updates.

Over time, phones are no longer supported by the manufacturer. Therefore, the latest versions of the operating system are not available on older devices.

As soon as the search for updates ends, the owner will see the inscription “New version” on the smartphone screen.

The owner of the smartphone is required to press this button. Next, the firmware download will begin. You can monitor your progress by looking at the round scale. For the fastest possible download, it is recommended to connect to Wi-Fi. This will also help avoid additional expenses due to mobile traffic.

The update process does not end there. If the owner wants to install the latest firmware now, you need to click the “Reboot now” button. You can also set up the installation overnight or the next day.

Selecting “Reboot Now” will immediately turn off the device. The update will be carried out in this mode. After the process is completed, the device will turn on, and the owner will be able to use the new Android and MIUI functions.

Advice from professionals

You can perform quick updates through the Firmware Finder and download the latest firmware for your device using this application. The software does not require any root privileges or an unlocked bootloader. In addition, using it is almost impossible to install the wrong firmware version on a smartphone. Before any firmware update, perform a backup, fully charge the phone and connect to fast Wi-Fi.

For experienced Android users, there may be situations where you need to flash a Huawei modem, but only with certain files from the OTA update. For example, if the device accidentally became bricked, and the user knows exactly what he flashed, he will be able to undo the wrong actions and restore the device.

Reasons why Android phones freeze:

The installed application is not compatible with the phone's operating system.
Error reading data from SD card.
Opening corrupted files, APK files, or app files stored on external storage such as an SD card may cause your phone to freeze.
Viruses or malware. This is one of the most common situations that affects the phone's security system.
Errors when installing ROM incorrectly.

Huawei Android phones are great for customizing and flashing ROMs, but using an incorrect, incompatible, or poorly coded ROM that contains a lot of bugs can significantly affect the stability of the phone, so extra care will be required on the part of the user.

Why update Android on your phone?

Many users ignore the release of the latest firmware. Are they doing the right thing? The answer to this question will be negative, since updates have a number of advantages compared to older versions of Android:

productivity improves;
battery consumption is optimized;
the level of security increases;
New features are being added.

Some firmware versions are “raw”, which is why some Honor phone owners experience lags during operation. But the problem is quickly resolved with the release of subsequent updates.

After weighing all the pros and cons, we can confidently say that every person should update Android. However, the procedure is not mandatory. Anyone can refuse to install the next firmware in favor of the old version.
