They provide us with the opportunity to call everyone, 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.

Unfortunately, even this “true friend” can cause small problems, provoke confusion and a negative reaction. 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.

Firmware process

So, after making a decision as to 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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;
