How to flash Honor 6A. Updating to Android 11, 10, Pie 9, Oreo 8.1


Where to download firmware and update files

It is best to download firmware and updates from the official Huawei support site to avoid downloading anything unwanted:

When selecting a file, it is important to select the correct file. The file must relate to this particular phone model, for example, Honor 4C Pro firmware cannot be installed on Honor 4C.

In addition, the file must correspond not only to the name of the model, but also to its code. For example, the smartphone model Honor 4C, officially supplied to the Russian Federation, has the model code CHM-U01, and the seemingly same Honor 4C, but sold in China and with a different hardware, has the code CHM-CL00 (see comment). Trying to install firmware into your phone from a different model or from a different region will most likely end fatally.

Therefore, for convenience, I provide links to the same official support site, but with files filtered by model. As well as direct links to the latest (currently) versions. Also, for some models there are copies of files posted on Yandex.Disk, in case the Huawei download center is temporarily not working, is working slowly, or the files have been transferred somewhere. Links are current and verified at the time of publication.

How to install firmware

Backup

The first step before installing the firmware is to make a backup to save the settings and data.

You can do this on a computer as well. But it’s easier on the phone if a MicroSD card is installed, because there is a built-in Huawei Backup application, and the backup can be saved to a memory card. It is recommended that you update your backup application first if you have not already done so.

You can see how the backup starts in the pictures:

  • I save copies on an SD card.
  • I select the data to save. You need to select everything that is stored in the phone’s memory. Since I already have photos, music and movies stored on my memory card, there is no point in including them in the backup copy.
  • The backup itself takes 5-15 minutes, depending on the volume:

Copying the firmware file and starting the update

I unpack the dload folder from the firmware file and copy it to the root directory of the MicroSD card. I did it through a computer, see Connecting Honor 4C to a PC. You can remove the MicroSD card from the phone and copy the files on the computer itself. You can also do this on your phone: download the update file from the link, use a file manager to unpack the dload from ZIP into the root folder of the MicroSD card.

Before starting the update, I check that the battery is charged, then I launch the local update from the phone’s settings menu. The phone finds the folder with the update files, updates and reboots.

After rebooting with the settings reset, the first thing I do is log into my Google account, then update the Huawei Backup application and restore settings and applications.

Problems when updating a smartphone and their solutions

Installing updates on a smartphone is a procedure tested by the manufacturer, and in most cases it occurs without problems. However, cases are different.

If the update doesn't start

The update file is for a different phone modelThe update file must strictly match the phone model and code.
  • Update for 4C does not work for 4 C Pro
  • Update for Honor 4C CHM-U01 does not work for Honor 4C CHM-CL00

Depending on the specific update, the file may be UPDATE.APP or UPDATE.ZIP

How to update Huawei Honor 4C/4C Play/G Play Mini/4C Pro?

The Huawei Honor 4C / 4C Play / G Play Mini / 4C Pro update process involves installing an alternative firmware (ROM) on it after the manufacturer has stopped updating the device over the air. Simply put, if the phone has stopped updating itself, then it’s time to install alternative firmware on it.

You also need to update if you start having problems with your device that you could not solve in any other way. If you are not sure that you can download the firmware yourself without any problems, then it is better to use the services of more experienced users so as not to harm the gadget. Or think about replacing the device with a newer one.

You can select the desired firmware and instructions for it using the links from the list in the next paragraph; if you have any difficulties with the choice, write in the comments, we will help.

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.

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”.
