Mya-al10 Firmware Link
The MYA-AL10 is a critical piece of Huawei’s budget lineup from 2017. Unlike the global variants (MYA-L03, MYA-L11), the AL10 suffix denotes a device designed for the Chinese mainland market, often with specific modem configurations for China Telecom/Unicom bands and a lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS) out of the box.
Unlike Samsung or Xiaomi, Huawei closed its bootloader unlocking service years ago. The MYA-AL10 runs on HiSilicon Kirin chips (usually the Kirin 960). This means:
The MYA-AL10 shipped with Android 7.0 (Nougat) / EMUI 5.1. It later received an update to: mya-al10 firmware
| Android Version | EMUI Version | Firmware Build | Status | |----------------|--------------|----------------|--------| | Android 7.0 | EMUI 5.1 | MYA-AL10 5.1.0.XXX | Original | | Android 8.0 | EMUI 8.0 | MYA-AL10 8.0.0.1XX | Final Official |
No official Android 9 (Pie) or higher exists for this device. Any claim otherwise is a custom ROM or scam. The MYA-AL10 is a critical piece of Huawei’s
This is the most common method for Chinese variants. You place an UPDATE.APP file inside a folder named dload on your SD card.
For MYA-AL10 specifically:
Understanding the MYA-AL10 requires dissecting the UPDATE.APP file (Huawei’s proprietary firmware container). Using tools like Huawei Update Extractor, we see:
| Partition | Function | Size (approx) | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| preloader | BootROM loader | 256KB | Do not flash incorrectly – hard bricks. |
| lk.bin | Little Kernel (aboot) | 1MB | Handles fastboot and boot selection. |
| boot.img | Linux Kernel + Ramdisk | 16MB | Contains init scripts. Modifying requires signing. |
| recovery.img | EMUI Recovery | 32MB | Stock recovery; can be replaced with TWRP (unofficial). |
| system.img | Android OS (squashfs/erofs) | 2.5GB | Heavily modded by Huawei. |
| cust.img | Carrier/OEM customizations | 256MB | Contains region-specific bloatware and configs. |
| modem_sw | Baseband firmware | 48MB | Handles LTE/GSM signals. |
| tee.img | Trusted Execution Environment | 2MB | Secure boot keys. | This is the most common method for Chinese variants
The MYA-AL10 shipped with Android 8 (Oreo) and received EMUI 9 (Pie). It never got Android 10 or HarmonyOS officially.
| Issue | Probable Cause | Firmware Solution |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| IMEI=0 (no network) | NVRAM corruption (common on MTK). | Restore NVRAM from backup via SP Flash Tool (requires scatter file). |
| Bootloop after OTA | /cache partition mismatch. | Boot to recovery → Wipe cache partition → Factory reset. |
| eRecovery fails "Getting package info failed" | Huawei’s OTA servers deprecated for MYA-AL10. | Use dload method with final B250 firmware. |
| Encryption unsuccessful | Corrupt /metadata partition. | Flash userdata.img via fastboot (requires unlocked bootloader). |
