Honor 4X Firmware Download for Che2, CHE1 & TL00 Models

Q: Which file is safer for a normal Che2-L11 restore: the generic Dload package or the C185B160 build?

The Honor_4X_Che2-L11_V100R001C185B160_Dload.zip file is usually the better pick when your handset is clearly on the C185 branch, because it gives you a more exact match than the generic unnamed Dload archive.

Q: Is CHE1-CL20C00B440 the best option for every Qualcomm Honor 4X?

No. It is a strong candidate for the exact CHE1-CL20 model on the C00 branch, but it is not a universal fallback for CHE1-CL10 or Che1-L04 just because those are also Honor 4X variants.

Q: When should I use the CHE1-CL10 B282 board package instead of the B289 QFIL package?

Use the older B282 package only when you intentionally need that earlier branch or when the device’s repair history points to it. For most exact-model CHE1-CL10 service restores, the later B289 package is the more up-to-date starting point.

The Honor 4X is not a single firmware family in the simple sense, because Huawei sold it in both Kirin 620 and Snapdragon 410 variants under very similar model codes such as Che2-L11, Che2-UL00, CHE1-CL10, and CHE1-CL20. That hardware split is the main reason users run into failed restores, no-boot states, broken radio behavior, or hard bricks after flashing the wrong package. The files below are arranged to keep those variants separate and to show where a package is a normal Dload update, a deeper board package, or a Qualcomm service image that needs a different tool path.

Download Firmware for Honor 4X

This collection includes both newer Lollipop-era and older KitKat-era firmware, plus a mix of standard consumer Dload packages and low-level service archives. In normal cases, use the exact-model Dload file first; keep the QFIL, Board, or HMT packages for harder recovery jobs where a regular local update is no longer enough.

Complete Device & Firmware Overview

Device Name: Honor 4X, a 2014 budget-to-midrange 5.5-inch smartphone family with multiple regional hardware branches.
Main Model Groups in This Collection: Che2-L11, Che2-UL00, Che2-TL00, Che1-L04, CHE1-CL10, CHE1-CL20, and CHE-TL00.
Chipset Split: Che2-L11 and related Che2 variants are commonly associated with the HiSilicon Kirin 620 platform, while CHE1-CL10 and CHE1-CL20 are Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 models.
CPU Class: Kirin models use an octa-core Cortex-A53 setup, while Snapdragon models use a quad-core Cortex-A53 configuration.
GPU Class: Kirin 620 variants use Mali-450 MP4 graphics, while Snapdragon 410 variants use Adreno 306.
Display: 5.5-inch HD display with 720 x 1280 resolution across the Honor 4X family.
Battery: 3000 mAh battery on the published Honor 4X hardware profile.
Launch Software: The phone launched on Android 4.4.2 with EMUI 3.0 and later received newer software branches including Android 5.1 / EMUI 3.1 on some variants.
Firmware Types in This Set: Standard Dload packages, board software archives, QFIL packages for Qualcomm service restoration, and HMT-tagged repair files.
Flash Methods Present: Dload is the normal route for the standard update packages, QFIL is for the Qualcomm service files, and HMT/board packages are aimed at deeper repair scenarios rather than everyday updates.
Region / Branch Coverage: China branches such as C00, C17, and C92 appear heavily in this set, while Che2-L11 includes at least one C185 global-style package and Che1-L04 includes a C900 build.
Bootloader / Compatibility Rule: The most important rule here is not “Honor 4X” as a product name but exact model and platform matching, because Kirin and Qualcomm packages are not interchangeable even when the phone name is the same.
Required Tools: For Dload packages, use the Huawei local update route; for QFIL packages, use Qualcomm’s QFIL workflow; for HMT or board software, use the exact service method expected by that package.
File Size Range: 485MB to 1.18GB in this collection.
Best Use Cases: Bootloop repair, return to stock, recovery from failed modding, fixing wrong-region software, and deeper service restoration on dead or partially bricked units.

CRUCIAL WARNING: These Honor 4X packages must be matched to the exact model and hardware family. A Che2-L11 / Che2-UL00 Kirin firmware must not be flashed onto a CHE1-CL10 / CHE1-CL20 Snapdragon model, and a Qualcomm QFIL package must never be treated like a normal Dload update because the partition layout and recovery path are different.

Older KitKat-era files such as B282, B289, or B384 should be chosen only when you intentionally need that earlier branch. If your phone already ran a later branch like B396, B440, or B580, forcing an older package without a clear reason can create avoidable rollback problems.

Preparation Before Flashing

Expand preparation checklist for Honor 4X

Check the exact model from the phone label, fastboot screen, or firmware info first. Che2-L11, Che2-UL00, CHE1-CL10, CHE1-CL20, and Che1-L04 are not safe substitutes for one another.
Identify whether your device is a Kirin or Qualcomm variant before choosing any file. That matters more on the Honor 4X than on many other phones because the family was sold on two different chipsets.
Prefer a normal Dload package when the phone still enters local update or recovery mode. Save QFIL and board files for cases where the handset is deeper into a brick state.
Back up personal data before starting, because stock restoration can wipe apps, internal storage content, and account data.
Charge the battery well and avoid unstable USB cables or bad memory cards, especially if you are using a service package where interruption is more dangerous.
Compare your current build against the filename first. On this model, flashing a later-but-wrong platform package is much riskier than staying on an older exact-match branch.

Quick Firmware Flash Instructions

Confirm the exact Honor 4X variant first, then choose the matching file by model and chipset family, for example Che2-L11 C185B160 for a global Kirin unit or CHE1-CL10 B289 QFIL only for that specific Qualcomm model.
If the phone still supports Huawei local update, start with the exact Dload package rather than a board file; examples here include Che2-UL00 B396, Che1-L04 B341, or Che2-L11 B160.
Use QFIL only for the Qualcomm service archives such as the CHE1-CL10 packages, and use HMT or board workflows only for the files explicitly labeled that way.
Extract the archive completely and follow the correct method family for that package instead of mixing Dload, QFIL, and board procedures across files.
After flashing, verify boot, SIM recognition, network behavior, and basic camera function before restoring data, because model mismatch often appears first as radio or startup problems.

For the complete step-by-step method, use the guide that matches the package type in your chosen file. Standard Huawei local-update packages should follow Huawei (dload method), while Qualcomm service archives such as the CHE1-CL10 QFIL files should follow QFIL. That split is important on the Honor 4X because this collection includes both normal consumer firmware and deeper service packages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I flash a Che2-L11 file on CHE1-CL20 if both phones are sold as Honor 4X?

No. The Honor 4X name covers more than one hardware platform, and the Che2-L11 line is associated with Kirin while CHE1-CL20 is a Snapdragon model. Cross-flashing between them is one of the easiest ways to hard-brick this phone family.

Which file is safer for a normal Che2-L11 restore: the generic Dload package or the C185B160 build?

The Honor_4X_Che2-L11_V100R001C185B160_Dload.zip file is usually the better pick when your handset is clearly on the C185 branch, because it gives you a more exact match than the generic unnamed Dload archive.

Why are there both Dload and QFIL packages on this page?

Because this firmware set covers both Huawei-style local update packages and Qualcomm service-level repair files. The QFIL entries are not just alternate downloads; they belong to a different repair workflow and should only be used on the correct Qualcomm variants.

Is CHE1-CL20C00B440 the best option for every Qualcomm Honor 4X?

No. It is a strong candidate for the exact CHE1-CL20 model on the C00 branch, but it is not a universal fallback for CHE1-CL10 or Che1-L04 just because those are also Honor 4X variants.

When should I use the CHE1-CL10 B282 board package instead of the B289 QFIL package?

Use the older B282 package only when you intentionally need that earlier branch or when the device’s repair history points to it. For most exact-model CHE1-CL10 service restores, the later B289 package is the more up-to-date starting point.

Why is the CHE-TL00 HMT file much smaller than the others?

Because it is labeled as board software rather than a normal full consumer firmware package. Smaller size on a service file does not mean “lighter update”; it usually means a different repair purpose.

Can I downgrade from a later build like B396 or B580 to an older KitKat package?

Only if you have a clear reason and the exact model match. The Honor 4X launched on Android 4.4.2 and later moved to newer branches on some variants, so careless rollback can create recovery complications even when the model is correct.
