Q1. Why does my phone report “update failed”/bootloop after flashing?

Most “update failed” errors stem from mismatched model or region. If you flash AL00 firmware to AL00A, or TL10/TL00 interchangeably, you may brick the device. Always confirm exact match before flashing. Also, extremely large firmware ZIP files (>4GB) may require SD cards formatted with exFAT instead of FAT32.

Q2. Why is Google Play or some Chinese apps missing after install?

China stock firmware (C00) omits Google Play due to local regulations. You may need to manually install Play Services via APKMirror, or use a reputable GApps installer script for EMUI 8.

Q3. My device is stuck at 0% or the update fails instantly—what now?

This usually means the kernel or baseband is mismatched with your hardware (model). Re-download firmware matching your Settings → About Phone variant, reformat SD card, and try again. Sometimes, flashing from a different SD card or slot may solve SD read errors.

Huawei Enjoy 7S (FIG-AL00/AL00A/TL00/TL10) Chinese Official Firmware & Dload Flashing Troubleshooting

Huawei Enjoy 7S, launched in late 2017 for the Chinese market, is the sibling of the global Huawei P Smart. Models FIG-AL00, FIG-AL00A, FIG-TL00, and FIG-TL10 are China-specific variants, powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 659 chipset and running EMUI 8.0 atop Android 8.0. Users report uniquely Chinese ROM quirks—bloatware, strict region partitioning, and occasional Play Store absence—plus common flashing problems like update failure, bootloop, and Dload package size mismatches.

CRUCIAL WARNING: China-region firmware (C00) is not cross-compatible with global or Europe variants (such as P Smart FIG-LX1/L11). Flashing mismatched model (AL00, TL00, TL10, AL00A) or region code can cause loss of connectivity, persistent bootloop, or irreparable “No Service” errors. Always match your exact model—including the trailing letter (A, no A, TL, AL, etc.)—and CUST code.

Charge: Ensure at least a 50% battery before any firmware operations.
