One of the best decisions when buying a mid-level Android smartphone in 2013–2014 was choosing the Huawei G610-U20 model. This truly balanced device, due to the quality of the hardware components used and the assembly, still serves its owners. In this article we will figure out how to update the Huawei G610-U20 firmware, which will literally breathe a second life into the device.
Reinstalling Huawei G610-U20 software is usually not difficult even for novice users. It is only important to properly prepare your smartphone and the software tools necessary for the process, as well as strictly follow the instructions.
All responsibility for the results of manipulations with the software part of the smartphone lies solely with the user! The resource administration is not responsible for possible negative consequences of following the instructions below.
As noted above, proper preparation before direct manipulation of the smartphone’s memory largely determines the success of the entire process. For the model in question, it is important to follow all the steps below.
Step 1: Installing Drivers
Almost all methods of installing software, as well as restoring Huawei G610-U20, use a PC. The ability to pair the device and computer appears after installing the drivers.
How to install drivers for Android devices is described in detail in the article:
Step 2: Obtaining root rights
In general, Superuser rights are not required to flash the firmware of the device in question. The need for them appears when installing various modified software components. In addition, root is needed to create a full backup, and in the model under consideration it is highly advisable to carry out this action in advance. The procedure will not cause difficulties if you use one of the simple tools of the user’s choice - Framaroot or Kingo Root. We select the appropriate option and follow the steps of the instructions for obtaining root from the articles:
Step 3: Backup Data
As in any other case, the Huawei Ascend G610 firmware involves manipulation of the device’s memory sections, including formatting them. In addition, various failures and other problems are possible during operations. In order not to lose personal information, as well as to maintain the ability to restore the smartphone to its original state, you need to make a backup of the system, following one of the instructions in the article:
It is worth noting that a good solution for creating backup copies of user data and subsequent recovery is the proprietary utility for Huawei HiSuite smartphone. To copy information from the device to the PC, use the tab "Reserve" in the main program window.
Step 4: Backup NVRAM
One of the most important points before serious actions with device memory partitions, which it is recommended to pay special attention to, is NVRAM backup. Manipulations with the G610-U20 quite often lead to damage to this partition, and recovery without a saved backup copy is difficult.
We do the following.
Firmware Huawei G610-U20
Like many other devices running Android, the model in question can be flashed in various ways. The choice of method depends on the goals set, the state of the device, as well as the user’s level of competence in working with device memory sections. The instructions below are arranged in order “from simple to complex”, and the results obtained after their implementation can generally satisfy the needs, including the demanding owners of the G610-U20.
Method 1: Dload
The easiest way to reinstall and/or update the software of the G610-U20 smartphone, as well as many other Huawei models, is to use the "dload". Among users this method is called "three buttons later". After reading the instructions below, the origin of this name will become clear.
Method 2: Engineering Mode
The method of launching the software update procedure for the Huawei G610-U20 smartphone from the engineering menu is generally very similar to the above-described method of working with firmware updates “via three buttons”.
Method 3: SP FlashTool
Huawei G610-U20 is built on an MTK processor, which means that the firmware procedure is available through a special application SP FlashTool. In general, the process is standard, but there are certain nuances for the model we are considering. The device was released quite a long time ago, so you need to use a not the latest version of the application with Secboot support - v3.1320.0.174. The required package is available for download at the following link:
It is important to note that flashing the firmware via SP FlashTool according to the instructions below is an effective way to restore a Huawei G610 smartphone that is not working in the software part.
It is highly not recommended to use software versions lower than B116! This may lead to the smartphone screen not working after flashing! If you installed the old version and the device does not work, simply flash Android from B116 and higher according to the instructions.
- Download and unpack the package with the program. The name of the folder containing SP FlashTool files must not contain Russian letters or spaces.
- Download and install drivers using any available method. To check whether the driver is installed correctly, you need to connect the switched off smartphone to the PC with the "Device Manager". For a short time, the item should appear in the list of devices "Mediatek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)".
- Download the necessary OFFICIAL firmware for SP FT. Several versions are available for download here:
- Unpack the resulting package into a folder whose name does not contain spaces or Russian letters.
- Turn off the smartphone and remove the battery. We connect the device without a battery to the USB port of the computer.
- Launch SP Flash Tool by double-clicking the file Flash_tool.exe, located in the application folder.
- First we write the section "SEC_RO". Add a scatter file to the application containing a description of this section. The button is used for this. The required file is located in the folder "Rework-Secro", in the directory with the unpacked firmware.
- Press the button "Download" and confirm your consent to start the process of recording a separate section by pressing the button "Yes" in the window "Download Warning".
- After the progress bar displays the value «0%» , insert the battery into the device connected via USB.
- The process of recording the partition will begin. "SEC_RO",
upon completion, a window will appear "Download OK", containing an image of a green circle. The whole process takes place almost instantly.
- The message confirming the success of the procedure must be closed. Then disconnect the device from USB, remove the battery and connect the USB cable to the smartphone again.
- We load the data into the remaining sections of the G610-U20 memory. Add a Scatter file located in the main folder with the firmware - MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt.
- As we can see, as a result of the previous step, in the field of partitions and paths to them in the SP Flash Tool application, all check boxes are checked. We make sure of this and press the button "Download".
- We wait for the checksum verification process to complete, accompanied by the progress bar repeatedly filling in purple.
- After the value appears «0%» In the progressbar, insert the battery into the smartphone connected to USB.
- The process of transferring information to the device’s memory will begin, accompanied by the filling of the progress bar.
- After all manipulations are completed, the window appears again "Download OK", confirming the success of the operations.
- Disconnect the USB cable from the device and start it by long pressing the key "Nutrition". The first launch after the above operations is quite long.
Method 4: Custom firmware
All of the above methods for flashing the G610-U20, as a result of their implementation, provide the user with official software from the device manufacturer. Unfortunately, the time that has passed since the model was discontinued is too long - Huawei does not plan official software updates for the G610-U20. The latest version released is B126, which is based on the outdated Android 4.2.1.
It should be noted that the situation with the official software in the case of the device in question does not inspire optimism. But there is a way out. And this is installing custom firmware. This solution will allow you to get the relatively fresh Android 4.4.4 and the new application runtime environment from Google - ART.
The popularity of the Huawei G610-U20 has led to the emergence of a huge number of custom versions for the device, as well as various ports from other devices.
All modified firmware is installed using one method - installing a zip package containing the software through a custom recovery environment. You can learn more about the procedure for flashing components through a modified recovery from the articles:
The example described below uses one of the most stable solutions among custom solutions for the G610 - AOSP, as well as TWRP Recovery as an installation tool. Unfortunately, there is no version of the environment for the device in question on the official TeamWin website, but there are workable versions of this recovery ported from other smartphones. Setting up such a recovery environment is also somewhat non-standard.
- Install the modified recovery. For G610, the environment is installed via SP FlashTool. Instructions for installing additional components through the application are outlined in the article:
- The second method by which you can easily install custom recovery without a PC is to use the Mobileuncle MTK Tools Android application. Let's use this wonderful tool. Download the latest version of the program from the link above and install it like any other apk file.
- Place the recovery image file in the root of the memory card installed in the device.
- Launch Mobileuncle Tools. We grant the program Superuser rights.
- Select an item "Recovery Update". A screen opens, at the top of which a recovery image file is automatically added, copied to the root of the memory card. Click on the file name.
- We confirm the installation by pressing the button "OK".
- Upon completion of the procedure, Mobileuncle suggests immediately rebooting into recovery. Press the button "Cancel".
- If the file zip with custom firmware was not copied to the memory card in advance, we transfer it there before rebooting into the recovery environment.
- Reboot into recovery via Mobileuncle by selecting the application's main menu item. And confirm the reboot by pressing the button "OK".
- Flash the zip package with the software. The manipulations are described in detail in the article linked above; here we will dwell only on some points. The first and mandatory step after booting into TWRP when switching to custom firmware is cleaning the partitions "Data", "Cache", "Dalvik".
- Install custom through the menu "Installation" on the TWRP main screen.
- We install Gapps if the firmware does not contain Google services. You can download the necessary package containing Google applications from the link above or from the official website of the project:
On the official website of the project we select the architecture - "ARM", Android version – "4.4". We also determine the composition of the package, and then press the button "Download" with the image of an arrow.
- After completing all manipulations, you need to reboot your smartphone. And at this final step, a not very pleasant feature of the device awaits us. You won't be able to reboot from TWRP to Android by selecting the option. The smartphone simply turns off and starts it by pressing a button "Nutrition" will not work.
- The way out of the situation is quite simple. After all the manipulations in TWRP, we finish working with the recovery environment by selecting the items - "Shutdown". Then remove the battery and reinsert it. Launch Huawei G610-U20 by pressing a button "Nutrition". The first launch is quite long.
Thus, using the above methods of working with smartphone memory sections, each user becomes able to completely update the software part of the device and carry out restoration if necessary.
