The firmware files below cover several Huawei Honor 6A variants in the Delhi / DLI model family, including China, Southeast Asia, and Europe-tagged packages from the files you supplied.
Public device references describe the Honor 6A as a 5.0-inch Snapdragon 430 phone with Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.1 on the main retail branch, but your package list also includes service files labeled QPST/9008 and one DLI-AL10 archive labeled Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1, so model and package type must be verified carefully before flashing.
These files are suitable for legitimate software recovery, failed update repair, return-to-stock servicing, and technical documentation. Public support and community material around Honor updates also shows that missing OTA availability and manual package compatibility are common reasons people need stock firmware in the first place.
Choose only the package that matches your exact DLI model and service method. If the file is labeled dload or factory stock firmware, use a Huawei stock-update workflow. If it is labeled 9008 or QPST, it belongs to a Qualcomm emergency recovery environment and should only be used in the correct service setup.

|---|---|
| Device name | Huawei Honor 6A, also documented in public references under the Delhi / DLI model family. |
| Models in this post | DLI-AL10, DLI-TL20, DLI-L42, and DLI-L22, based on the filenames you supplied and public DLI family references. |
| Codename family | Delhi / DLI series. |
| Display | 5.0-inch HD display class. |
| Chipset | Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 with Adreno 505 in public Honor 6A specifications. |
| Battery | 3020 mAh battery in public specifications. |
| Typical retail software base | Android 7.0 with EMUI 5.1 is the software combination most consistently described in public Honor 6A references. |
| Firmware styles in this set | Full dload firmware, factory stock firmware archives, and Qualcomm 9008 / QPST service packages, based on the supplied filenames. |
| Important compatibility rule | Dload packages and QPST/9008 packages are not interchangeable workflows, and the exact DLI model must match before installation. |
Warning: Installing the wrong Honor 6A firmware can cause boot failure, update errors, network issues, or loss of normal phone functions. Always verify the exact DLI model, current software branch, and whether the file is a dload package or a Qualcomm 9008 service package before flashing.
In legitimate service or repair environments, flashing stock firmware may reset certain system states. Always service only devices you own or are authorized to repair, and follow local laws.

Verified Research Notes
- Public references consistently describe the Honor 6A as launching with Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.1 on retail branches.
- One supplied filename labels DLI-AL10 B170 as Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1, which conflicts with the most common public retail specs, so this post treats that file as a model-specific archive without generalizing that software version to the whole Honor 6A family.
- Public support guidance shows that some Huawei and Honor phones do not receive updates immediately, may require a SIM card, and can fail to show updates because the package has not yet been pushed or the update cache is corrupted.
- Public community material for the DLI family shows users working with firmware, recovery, and OEM partitions manually, which supports the need for careful stock package matching during repair.
- No reliable official per-build changelog was found during research for the exact B160, B170, B121, or B129 packages in your list, so this article does not assign unverified fixes or security patches to those builds.
- Because your list includes both dload archives and Qualcomm 9008/QPST packages, the flashing method depends on the file type, not just the device model.

Flashing Preparation
- Verify the exact model code from Settings, fastboot, recovery, service label, or board sticker before selecting any file.
- Back up all important data first, because stock recovery work can erase apps, files, and settings.
- Charge the Honor 6A to at least 50 percent before starting the repair process.
- Check whether the archive is a dload package, a factory stock package, or a Qualcomm 9008/QPST package before extracting it.
- Do not cross-flash between DLI-AL10, DLI-TL20, DLI-L42, and DLI-L22.
- If the device does not receive OTA updates, do not assume it is unsupported immediately, because public support guidance notes that update rollout can be delayed and update cache problems can also block the process.
How to Flash the Firmware
- Identify the exact Honor 6A model and choose the matching package, such as Huawei-Delhi-L42-DLI-L42-C636B121 only for a DLI-L42 or Honor_6A_DLI-TL20_9008_QPST.zip only for a compatible DLI-TL20 service recovery.
- Extract the archive and inspect the contents so you know whether you are working with a Huawei dload-style package or a Qualcomm 9008/QPST service package.
- For dload or factory stock archives, copy the required Huawei update content into the correct update structure and start the model-appropriate local update process.
- For QPST / 9008 packages, boot the phone into the required Qualcomm emergency state and load the service firmware only in the proper Qualcomm flashing environment.
- After flashing, allow the Honor 6A to boot fully and test charging, network signal, Wi-Fi, calls, camera, and storage before returning the device to use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Download only the package that matches the exact DLI model printed on the device or shown in fastboot or recovery. Public references show that the Honor 6A family includes several DLI branches, and the service packages in this post are not meant to be mixed across variants.
Public specifications most consistently describe the Honor 6A retail branch as Android 7.0 with EMUI 5.1. One supplied DLI-AL10 filename is labeled Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1, so that file should be treated as a model-specific package and not as proof that every Honor 6A variant used that older software.
The clearest publicly documented reasons are missing OTA availability, delayed rollout, update-cache issues, and manual recovery needs when working with firmware or recovery partitions. These are all practical reasons a technician may reinstall matching stock software.
No reliable official per-build changelog was found during research for those exact builds. Because of that, this post does not claim specific bug fixes, feature additions, or security patches for them.
Dload and factory stock packages are standard Huawei stock-update style archives. QPST or 9008 packages are Qualcomm emergency service files used in a different repair environment and should only be used when the phone and workflow specifically require that method.
Public Honor support guidance says update rollout can be delayed, some phones may need a SIM card inserted, and software-update cache problems can also prevent update detection. That is why a device can miss an update even when a compatible firmware branch exists.
In legitimate service or repair environments, flashing stock firmware may reset certain system states. Always service only devices you own or are authorized to repair, and follow local laws.
