Flash Huawei u8110 with alternative firmware. Installing and updating Huawei and Honor firmware

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: http://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: http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=list, as well as using the search on the consumer support portal: http:/ /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: http://emui.huawei.com/cn/plugin.php?id=hwdownload, as well as using the search on the support portal: http://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.

    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.
  8. The file download process begins.
  9. 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.

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.

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:

  1. Copy the dload folder with all its contents to the root of the SD card;
  2. Turn off the 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, 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!
