Huawei HiSuite common errors and solutions
The following are the common errors and solutions for the Huawei HiSuite software:
Error 1: Huawei phone is not detected by the PC
1. Make sure the latest version of HiSuite is installed on your PC. If not, try installing the latest version using the previous version of HiSuite.
2. Also, make sure to enable USB Debugging mode. To do so, you need to go to Settings > About. Tap the Build number seven times to make Settings > Developer options available. Then enable the USB Debugging option.
3. Disconnecting and reconnecting the Huawei/Honor may also solve the “Phone not detected issue”.
4. Rebooting your phone solves most of the HiSuite errors and issues.
5. Restart the HiSuite. If this doesn’t fix, try to uninstall it and reinstall a fresh version from HERE.
6. Changing USB ports: This may seem unimportant, but it is very important since a USB driver update can affect the performance of a device that was plugged in at the moment of update.
7. Check that HDB (allow HiSuite to connect using HDB) is enabled. Try to revoke HDB permission from your PC, enable and try to connect again.
If the issues still persist, backup the device via other means such as sd card or cloud; perform a factory reset and attempt connecting the device afterward to the PC/laptop. You can also follow how to factory reset Huawei phones.

Error 2: Update your device before connecting
This error will pop-up when the Huawei device is connected to PC. It asks to update the device to latest EMUI software although there are no new updates. There is no need to worry about this error as it will be fixed in the next HiSuite updates.
Error 3: “The version of EMUI you’re using is too old”
This means the current version of your EMUI software is not compatible with the HiSuite software. Make sure to go to Settings > System updates and check for latest software updates.

My Hisuite does not detect my phone. None of the above actions changed anything. When I connect my phone to the laptop, Windows 10 pops a message “USB device not recognized”. I have tried looking for a driver to let Windows recognize it, but all responses I’ve got are to use Hisuite. Well, Hisuite does not detect the phone either. Then what? Is there any other, EFFECTIVE way to fix this?
It is from some updates that my P10 fails to connect to the PC. I followed all the instructions but when I connect the USB cable a window pops up asking if I want to transfer photos, documents or just want to charge the phone. Whatever option I choose windows sees the phone as an external drive with limited access to the files. Hisuite does not connect at all. The operating system is Widows 10 and the phone is updated to version 9.1.0.262, EMUI 9.1.0
When you connected your phone to your pc make sure your phone is not on charge only I put mine on transfer file and it connects now
Mine doesn’t connect until I changed the setting in “File transfer via USB” to “Transfer files” (from “Charge only”). This setting can be accessed when you swipe down to show the notification messages and one of them read “File transfer via USB”.
Great! Thank you! That actually helped, and you can access your phone like it is a USB stick and browse files and folders.
Huawei hisuite is a piece of shit, Cant download photos for my presentation. How difficult is it to connect a piece of cable to a notebook. My motorola could.
Keeps telling me to ok my hdb, which i have confirmed 100 times
Idiots!
I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!!
Activate the developer mode, and in the developer options, activate the USB Debugging. That’s all.
And when you connect the cable to phone-computer. press ,,allow for file transfer”.
