The Chinese OEM Huawei offers EMUI skin for its devices that are running on the Android version with plenty of improvements and features. It’s needless to say that each and every stock firmware is too good and stable enough to run the official smartphones quite impressively. Now, talking about the Huawei devices, sometimes users may find it difficult to run the device longer due to the performance drops, glitches, frame drops, lags, app error, battery draining, low space on memory, etc. If you’re also one of them and facing the same issue, then check out the full guide on how to install Stock Firmware on Huawei smartphone by following the guide below.
To be very specific, all the smartphones do come with preloaded official stock firmware (stable) and runs very well. However, due to the unlimited possibilities of Android customizations and other third-party files, some of the interested users starts walking towards the path of heavy customizations. In that scenario, most of the users may find bricking their device or even stuck in the bootloop issue. Therefore, installing the stock ROM again on the device becomes necessary and only one option. Keep in mind that Custom Firmware always provides you a bunch of visual elements, designing parts, other customizations, and more.
But when it comes to the stability, performance, future software update support, security/privacy measures, no one can touch the Stock ROM; at least for now. Stock Firmware is a bloatware-free or less-bloatware system that is particularly designed for each and every specific model to run the hardware & software like a charm. However, sometimes, an unsupported or the buggy file can affect the device performance as well as the device system. Now, without further ado, let’s jump into it.
