Match the exact model number, region code, and branch name. Similar model numbers are different devices.
Firmware lives here. USB drivers, flash tools, and tutorials are on FlashGuideHub.
If your MediaPad T2 10.0 Pro is stuck after a failed OTA, hanging on the Huawei logo, or acting worse after the wrong flash, sort the model first and the build second. This FDR lineup looks simple until you mix A01L, A01W, A03L, A04L, and A05L, and then the repair goes sideways fast.
Most of the files here are regular stock packages for Android 5.1.1 and EMUI 3.1. One A05L archive is clearly marked as board software, which puts it in a different lane from the normal update files.

Firmware by Model navigation
FDR-A01L
The A01L files are the easiest place to start reading because the naming is mostly clean. You have the C170B002 dload package, the same Russian-tagged C170B002 archive in a different wrapper, and then a separate C100B009 build with almost no extra help in the filename.
If the tablet still behaves like a normal recovery case, the dload-style C170B002 package is the obvious first look. The C100B009 file is not useless, just less descriptive, so I would inspect the archive before deciding anything clever.
FDR-A01W
Only one A01W file shows up here: C233B008 on Android 5.1.1. Short section, because the filename already says most of what matters.
Just do not treat A01W like A01L because the letter difference looks small. It is still a separate target.
FDR-A03L
A03L has the most clutter in this batch. There is B010, B012, a B010 youth-edition package, and a C640B001 full-network version file. That usually means you stop pretending one A03L archive fits every A03L repair scenario.
The standard C233 builds are the more ordinary choices for stock recovery work. The youth-edition file is the sort of package I would only use when the tablet in front of me clearly belongs to that branch. Same thing with the C640 full-network archive.
People skip that step, then blame the cable.
FDR-A04L
The A04L entry is plain: C001B023 and not much else. No extra labeling, no regional story spelled out in the filename, no board warning either.
FDR-A05L
This one splits in two directions. FDR-A05L_C500B007_Board_Software_China_Android_5.1_HMT.zip is not a normal consumer update package, and the HMT board label tells you that immediately. Then there is FDR-A05LC301B027.zip, which reads more like a standard stock build.
If the tablet still has a normal update path, I would keep my hands off the board package at first. When recovery is gone or the software state is already ugly, that is when the service file starts making sense.

Device & Firmware Overview
The MediaPad T2 10.0 Pro family was sold under model codes including FDR-A01L, FDR-A03L, and FDR-A04L, while public listings also show an FDR-A01W variant and community ROM support groups A01L, A01W, and A03L together under the same tablet line.
This tablet family shipped on Android 5.1.1 with EMUI 3.1, which matches the software base shown across most of the filenames in this set.
Public specs for the FDR-A01L point to Qualcomm Snapdragon 615/616-class hardware, 10.1-inch 1920×1200 display hardware, and LTE-capable variants, so service packages on this family need to stay model-matched even when the outside shell looks identical.
Compatibility Warning
- Do not cross-flash A01L, A01W, A03L, A04L, and A05L because they all say MediaPad T2 10 Pro somewhere.
- C170, C100, C233, C640, C500, C301, and C001 are branch markers, not filler. Ignore them and you can create a worse brick than the one you started with.
- The FDR-A05L HMT board package belongs in the rescue lane. If the tablet still has a normal update path, keep that file for later.
- Youth-edition and full-network-version A03L packages should only go onto tablets that actually match those branches.
Preparation Before Flashing
- Check the exact model on the rear label or in fastboot before you do anything else. Tablet repairs go wrong quickly when people guess from memory.
- Open the archive first. If you find a normal Huawei dload structure with UPDATE.APP, use the standard path. If the contents look like service files instead, do not force them into a dload folder.
- Charge the battery properly and use a stable cable. These older Huawei tablets hate being interrupted halfway through a rebuild.
- Back up any readable data before flashing. Stock packages are there to repair the system, not preserve whatever is left on internal storage.
- On A05L, work with the normal stock branch before jumping to board software unless recovery is already gone.
Quick Flash Instructions
- For archives that extract into Huawei’s usual dload layout, use the Huawei method here: Download and flash with Huawei dload method.
- The FDR-A01L C170B002 dload package is the clearest example of that route in this list.
- If an extracted package contains Qualcomm service files rather than UPDATE.APP, use a Qualcomm flashing workflow here: Flash with QFIL.
- The FDR-A05L HMT board archive should be treated like a service package, not a casual local update.
FAQ
Which file should I try first for a failed OTA on FDR-A01L?
The C170B002 dload package is the best first look if the tablet still reacts like a normal recovery case.
Can I flash FDR-A03L firmware on FDR-A01L?
No. Same tablet family, wrong target.
What is different about the FDR-A05L board package?
It is labeled board software and HMT in the filename, which usually means deeper service work rather than a normal stock update.
Are the two A01L C170B002 files different?
They point to the same branch, but not necessarily the same archive structure. Check the contents before assuming they behave identically.
Should I use the A03L youth-edition file on any A03L tablet?
Only if the tablet actually belongs to that branch. That extra label is there for a reason.
