1. Downloads:

• Huawei USB Drivers: Install Huawei USB drivers on your computer.
• Huawei Firmware Update Extractor or Flash Tool: Download the appropriate flashing tool for Huawei devices.
• Huawei Y6 2018 Firmware: Ensure you have the correct firmware for the Huawei Y6 2018. Extract the firmware ZIP file on your computer.

2. Install Huawei USB Drivers:

1. Download the Huawei USB drivers from a trusted source.
2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers.
3. Restart your computer after installation.
4. Skip this step if the drivers are already installed.

3. Prepare the Flash Tool:

1. Extract the downloaded Flash Tool ZIP file to a folder on your computer.
2. Open the extracted folder and locate the executable file (e.g., update_tool.exe or flash_tool.exe).
3. Right-click the executable file and select Run as administrator to launch the tool.

4. Load the Firmware Files:

1. In the Flash Tool, locate the option to Load Firmware or Add Update File (varies by tool).
2. Navigate to the folder containing the extracted Huawei Y6 2018 firmware.
3. Select the firmware file (e.g., UPDATE.APP) and load it into the tool.

5. Configure Flash Settings:

1. Check the settings in the flash tool and ensure only the necessary partitions (like system, boot, recovery) are selected for flashing.
2. Ensure the Preloader option is unticked to prevent accidental bricking.

6. Begin the Flashing Process:

1. Click the Start or Download button in the Flash Tool to begin.
2. Power off your Huawei Y6 2018 and connect it to the computer using a USB cable.
3. If required, press and hold the Volume Down or Volume Up button while connecting, so the flash tool can detect your device.

7. Flashing and Completion:

1. Once the device is detected, the flashing process will begin automatically.
2. Wait patiently until the process is completed. The tool will display a success message (e.g., a green checkmark or ring).

8. Final Steps:

1. Close the Flash Tool and disconnect the device from the computer.
2. Reboot your Huawei Y6 2018. The first boot may take longer than usual, so please be patient.
3. Complete the on-screen setup once the device powers on.

Important Notes:

• Backup Your Data: Flashing firmware will erase all data. Ensure you back up important files before proceeding.
• Correct Firmware: Double-check that the firmware is specifically for Huawei Y6 2018 and matches your device model.
• Stable Connection: Use a high-quality USB cable and avoid disconnecting the device during the flashing process.
• Preloader Warning: Flashing the preloader.bin file unnecessarily can brick the device. Untick this option unless absolutely required.
• Issue Resolution: If the flashing process fails or the device isn’t detected, reinstall the drivers and ensure all prerequisites are met.

Note:

These steps are standard for flashing Huawei devices. Variations may occur depending on firmware versions, device models, or the flashing tool used. Always consult official Huawei resources or documentation for precise and up-to-date instructions.
