ESD is the main cause of damage to electrostatic-sensitive components. Each
ASC must exercise caution to avoid ESD damage and comply with the ESD
protection requirements in this manual.
2.1 Applicable Scope
This document provides repair instructions for technicians at service centers authorized by
Huawei. This maintenance manual is confidential and accessible to authorized service centers
(ASCs) and authorized service providers (ASPs) only. While every effort has been made to
ensure the accuracy of this document, errors may still exist. If you find any errors or have any
suggestions, please contact Huawei's customer service.
2.2 Precautions
Only qualified technicians are allowed to perform repair and calibration.
Perform all operations in electrostatic discharge (ESD) rooms and wear ESD wrist straps
throughout the operations.
Ensure that all the components, screws, and insulators are properly installed after repair
and calibration. Ensure that all cables and wires are installed and connected correctly.
Ensure that the soldering is lead-free and compliant with eco-friendly requirements.
2.3 How to Obtain Product and Repair Information
To obtain product and maintenance information, visit Huawei website at:
The following list of components is provided for reference only. This list is subject to change
without notice. The latest component list is available on Huawei's ITEM information system.
If you have any questions, please contact your local technical support.
2. Create a folder named dload in the root directory of the microSD card.
3. Copy the upgrade file to the dload folder.
4. Install the microSD card to the phone. Power the phone on, and enter *#*#2846579#*#*
in the idle screen.
5. Select SD card upgrade, and then touch Confirm to start the upgrade.
Before the upgrade, NV items backup is performed (if the phone's NV items has not been
backed up before). Then the phone restarts and the upgrade starts.
The upgrade progress is displayed on the LCD.
The port cannot be found in
USB cable upgrade mode.
Check that there is no other driver conflicting with
the USB driver for the upgrade.
Check that the USB driver has been installed
properly.
Check that the USB cable has been properly
connected.
The phone fails to be upgraded
in USB cable upgrade mode.
Check that the USB cable has been properly
connected.
Perform the upgrade again.
The phone fails to be upgraded
in microSD card upgrade mode.
Check that the upgrade file is correct.
Check that the upgrade method is correct.
Check that the microSD card functions properly.
Perform the upgrade again.
After the upgrade is completed, the phone restarts and the NV items are restored.
6. After the phone is upgraded using the main upgrade pack, upgrade the phone using the
vendor upgrade pack in the same way.
If the phone cannot be properly powered on, use one of the following two methods to forcibly
upgrade the phone:
Install the battery on the phone (if the screen is jittering, remove the battery and wait for
5 seconds before installing the battery again). Press and hold the Volume+ and Volume–
keys, and press the Power key. The phone enters the SD forcible upgrade mode in which
the upgrade process is similar to the normal upgrade.
While the phone has no battery installed, press and hold the Volume+ and Volume– keys,
and connect the charger to the phone. The phone enters the SD forcible upgrade. This
method is recommended. If the forcible upgrade still fails, use another microSD card and
try forcible upgrade again.
Before repairing a phone, ensure that the failure of the phone is not caused by environmental
factors or incorrect functional settings. It is recommended that you restore the phone to its
factory settings.
The MSM7X2XA (the U8185 uses the MSM7225A) is the baseband signal processing chip,
mainly responsible for processing the input and output of IMAGE, VIDEO, AUDIO, RF
INTERFACES, and CONECTIVITY signals. The baseband chip provides keypad, LCD,
microSD card, Wi-Fi, camera, and microphone interfaces.
The PM8029 provides analog multi-channel switch, real-time clock circuit, TCXO clock
circuit, motor driver circuit, and programmable current source.
The RTR6285A is the RF signal processing chip, responsible for converting uplink/downlink
RF signals.
The PCBA can be divided into four sub-systems: baseband, RF, power supply, and user
interfaces.
After the Power key is pressed, the phone powers on. VHP_PWR (main power voltage)
powers the PM8029. The power management chip then provides the voltages listed in the
Fault symptom: power-on failure
To troubleshoot the power-on failure, firstly check whether the I/O connector (battery
connector) is damaged. If the I/O connector (battery connector) is not damaged, use a DC
regulated power supply to supply power to the phone, and test the phone's current.
The power-on failure may be caused by any of the following conditions:
