Q1. My tablet is stuck on the Huawei logo after a failed update. Will this fix it?

Yes, this is the exact purpose of the `dload` method. It is Huawei’s official emergency recovery procedure and will reinstall the entire operating system from scratch, fixing bootloops and recovering from failed OTA updates.

Q2. Will this update my tablet to a newer version of Android?

No. This is the official stock firmware for Android 7.0 (EMUI 5.1). It is used for restoring the device to a clean factory state, not for upgrading to a newer, unsupported Android version.

Q3. My battery life has become very poor. Can this help?

A clean installation using the `dload` method can often resolve software-related battery drain. An over-the-air update can sometimes leave behind conflicting files, but a full dload flash ensures the system is installed cleanly and is properly optimized for the best possible battery life.

Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 Stock ROM (Firmware)

The Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 (BAH-L09) is a popular 10.1-inch tablet from 2017, praised for its sharp Full HD display, quad speakers tuned by Harman Kardon, and reliable performance with the Snapdragon 435 chipset. It originally launched with EMUI 5.1 based on Android 7.0 Nougat. Over time, software issues such as bootloops (stuck on the Huawei logo), severe battery drain, or a completely unresponsive system can occur, often after a failed over-the-air (OTA) update. This guide provides the official `dload` firmware, which is the primary tool for performing an emergency software recovery and restoring the tablet to its original, stable factory state.

⚠️ CRUCIAL WARNING: Dload Method & Regional Variant

🔧 Device Troubleshooting

The update does not start automatically when holding the three buttons: The most common reason is that the `dload` folder is not in the correct location. It must be in the main (root) directory of your SD card or USB-OTG drive, not inside any other folders. Also, ensure the storage is formatted correctly (exFAT is most reliable).
The update fails at 5% or gives a “Software install failed” error: This almost always means the firmware is not compatible with your tablet’s model or regional CUST ID. Double-check that your tablet is a `BAH-L09` and was originally from the C170 region. Attempting to flash this on a different regional model will fail.
After flashing, the tablet seems slow or buggy: After a successful flash, it is highly recommended to perform a factory reset to clear any old data that might be causing conflicts. Boot into recovery mode (Power + Volume Up), then select “Wipe data/factory reset.”
