Crucial Warning: These packages are only for the Honor 6A Delhi family, and you still must match the exact model such as DLI-AL10, DLI-L22, DLI-L42, or DLI-TL20 before flashing. A 9008_QPST archive is not a normal Huawei local update package, so it must not be flashed with the Dload process, and a regional branch like C432 or C636 should not be treated as interchangeable with C00.

Highest visible AL10 build number in this set, but it is still a Marshmallow-era package by filename. Use it only when you need the exact AL10 C00B170 branch, not as an automatic replacement for the Nougat AL10 archive below.
⬇️ Download via Google DriveHuawei-Delhi-AL10-DLI-AL10-C00B160_all_cn_China_7.0_5.1_Factory_Stock_Firmware_Update.rar
This AL10 package is older by build number than B170, but newer by Android generation according to the filename. Because of that mismatch, it should only be used when the phone clearly belongs to the B160 Nougat branch.
⬇️ Download via Google DriveHonor_6A_DLI-L22_C432B129_QPST.zip
Service package for a Qualcomm emergency restore path, not a normal consumer update file. Good for a soft-bricked or 9008-detected DLI-L22, but not the first option for a phone that still accepts Huawei local update.
⬇️ Download via Google DriveHonor_6A_Delhi-L22_C432B129_QPST.zip
This appears to be a second L22 C432B129 QPST archive with the codename written out as Delhi. Treat it as a mirror or alternate package source unless extraction shows different contents.
⬇️ Download via Google DriveHuawei-Delhi-L42-DLI-L42-C636B121_hw_spcseas_Malaysia_7.0_5.1_Factory_Stock_Firmware_Update.rar
Large regional factory archive for Southeast Asia, specifically pointing to Malaysia in the filename. Prefer this over a QPST package when your DLI-L42 still needs a region-correct stock reinstall rather than a raw 9008 recovery.
⬇️ Download via Google DriveHonor_6A_DLI-TL20_9008_QPST.zip
Pure Qualcomm emergency package for TL20 devices. Use this only when the phone is in a deeper brick state or already detected through the Qualcomm 9008 path.
⬇️ Download via Google DriveHonor_6A_DLI-L42_9008_QPST.zip
Emergency Qualcomm restore package for L42. Keep it for cases where the Malaysian C636 factory archive cannot be used because the phone no longer accepts a normal local update path.
⬇️ Download via Google DriveFlashing Overview for Honor 6A
- Identify the exact Honor 6A model and branch before choosing a file
- Start with the Dload or factory package if the phone still reaches recovery
- Extract the archive fully and confirm the package type before flashing
- Use the matching tool family — Huawei dload for stock archives, QPST for 9008 packages
- Verify build number, SIM detection, and Wi-Fi behavior after flashing
Expand preparation checklist for Honor 6A
- Confirm the exact DLI model from the phone label, recovery mode, or software info before downloading anything. DLI-AL10, DLI-L22, DLI-L42, and DLI-TL20 are not safe to treat as interchangeable.
- Write down the current branch if the phone still boots, especially codes like C00, C432, or C636. On Huawei devices, matching the software branch is almost as important as matching the model.
- Choose the method family before you start. If your file is a Huawei Dload or factory archive, prepare for the local update route; if it is labeled 9008_QPST, prepare for Qualcomm emergency flashing instead.
- Back up all data you can access, because stock recovery work often wipes user files and app data.
- Charge the phone properly and use a stable cable and USB port, especially for QPST work where interruption can make recovery harder.
- Do not assume the higher build number is always the safer file. In this set, the AL10 B170 package is labeled Android 6.0 while the AL10 B160 archive is labeled Android 7.0, so branch history matters more than the number alone.
Compatibility & Bootloader Notes
The main safety rule is exact DLI model and branch matching; even within one Snapdragon family, a wrong-region flash can cause update failure, network issues, or unstable boot behavior. Dload and factory packages use Huawei's local update route, while the 9008_QPST files require QPST on a Qualcomm-detected device. The two are not interchangeable workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Neither is automatically safer without checking your current branch history. The B170 file is labeled Android 6.0 / EMUI 4.1, while the B160 archive is labeled Android 7.0 / EMUI 5.1, so you should match the phone's existing software line rather than choosing only by build number.
No. Even though both belong to the same Honor 6A family, the safe rule is exact model match first. Emergency Qualcomm packages are especially unforgiving when used on the wrong variant.
Because it is explicitly tagged C636 and Malaysia in the filename, which makes it a better branch match for that market than forcing a China or Europe package onto the same hardware.
The numbers suggest different branch stages, but they belong to different models and regions, so they should not be compared as if one were a universal upgrade over the other. Exact model and branch match is more important than numeric comparison across variants.
