Operation Instruction
Android 9.0 +EMUI 9.0 can now be rolled back to the official version of
Android 8.0 + EMUI 8.0 / EMUI 8.1/ EMUI 8.2 using HiSuite, without

Use an SD card, computer, or Cloud storage to back up all important
data before rolling back your phone, and make sure all backed up
content is complete and effective.。

http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html and
download the latest version of HiSuite. If HiSuite is installed on your
computer, click the version number in the lower left corner of the
page to check if it is the latest version, the latest version is 9.0.3.300

c. Before rolling back the phone, make sure your phone has not been
upgraded using non-official updates. Otherwise, the roll-back may
fail and unknown issues may be introduced. If you have used non-
official packages to upgrade your phone, it is recommended that
you go to an after-sales service center to roll back your phone.
d. Before rolling back your phone, make sure that your phone system
has not been unlocked or rooted. If the system has been unlocked or
rooted, it is recommended that you go to an after-sales service
center to roll back your phone.
e. Before the roll-back, disable the phone-finding function (Find My
