| Requirement | Detail | | :--- | :--- | | | You will need to physically open your phone, remove screws and covers, and short test points on the motherboard. | | Specific Firmware (Board SW) | The firmware required is not the standard UPDATE.APP file. It is a specialized "board software" or "engineering firmware" package containing individual .img files (e.g., fastboot.img , system.img , xloader.img ) and an .xml configuration file that tells the tool where to flash them. | | Drivers | The HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 driver is needed. Standard ADB/fastboot drivers will not work. This also requires disabling driver signature enforcement in Windows, which can be a complex task for novice users. | | PC Connection | A stable USB port (USB 2.0 is often more reliable than USB 3.0 for low-level flashing) and a high-quality USB cable. | | Battery Charge | Even if the phone appears dead, leave it on a charger for at least an hour before starting. The flashing process can be interrupted and fail if the battery is critically low. |
