What are USB Drivers

USB Drivers is a software program that helps your PC in recognizing the type of connected device. There are many different types of devices that could use this USB connection mode. From camcorders to mouse and keyboards, a user could connect all these devices to their PC. But until and unless the necessary USB drivers are installed, your PC wouldn’t be able to recognize the device that has been connected.

So installing these drivers are of paramount importance. Once installed, you could then easily connect your Huawei device via USB cable to the PC. Your Windows or Mac PC will then recognize it and will prompt you with the required options. You could then carry out the desired tasks as per the requirement. Talking about which, here are all the uses and perks of these USB drivers.

Advantages of USB Drivers

Once you have the latest Huawei USB Drivers installed, you could carry out a plethora of tasks. To begin with, you could transfer all the file types to and from your device. Along the same lines, you could make use of the USB Tethering functionality, which will allow you to share your device’s internet with the PC. Likewise, you could also use the MIDI option for interacting with musical equipment and the PTP mode for transferring photos via the camera. But that’s just the beginning.

These USB Drivers installed will also help you in executing various ADB and Fastboot commands. Then you could also unlock the device’s bootloader, flash Magisk, and tons of other mods. But for all of these tweaks, you will have to boot your device to Fastboot mode. And this would ultimately call for the installation of Huawei USB drivers (apart from Android SDK Platform Tools). So with such a long list of benefits, it is no doubt that these are among the most important tool for your devices.

Download and Install Huawei USB Drivers

Now there are two different methods through which you could install these USB Drivers. The first one is the automatic one that will be handled by the Huawei PC Suite, also known as Hi Suite. The second method will be the manual one, and it would require the android_winusb file. You could download all the required files from the below section and then proceed with the Huawei USB Drivers installation steps.

Prerequisites

  • First off, enable USB Debugging on your Huawei device. This will be needed to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Then go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options and enable the USB Debugging toggle.
  • Also, download and install Android SDK Platform Tools. This will provide the necessary ADB and Fastboot binaries.
  • Now if you are looking to take the manual route, then download the Huawei USB Drivers ZIP file.
  • On the other hand, if you would like to go with the automatic installation, then download the Huawei PC Suite (Hi Suite).

That’s it. Now you may proceed with the installation steps. We have shared both the methods, go with the one that meets your requirement.

That’s it. The Hi Suite will now recognize your device and will begin installing the necessary USB Drivers for your Huawei device. Once that is done, restart your PC and you are good to carry out the desired task.

Method 2: Manually Installing Huawei USB Drivers
