Instead of hunting for a ZIP, you download a full system.img dump (which is exclusive to the V9) and flash it directly to the NAND flash using Huawei's HiTool software over a USB-to-TTL serial cable. This method bypasses signature checks entirely and can unbrick a device that a bad ZIP killed.
For the power users, the "exclusive" update zip is just the beginning. You can modify the firmware files yourself if you know how to re-sign the package. Tools exist that allow you to decompile the update.zip , remove unwanted launchers, add your own APKs, and then re-sign the zip so the Huawei bootloader accepts it. Otherwise, you can pull a pre-rooted image from the table above and integrate Magisk for full systemless root access.

Your device likely runs on the chipset, but storage configurations vary. A standard rule: If you have a 4G storage version (often showing as 1GB RAM + 4GB ROM), you have the standard EC6108V9. If it's 8G , you likely have the EC6108V9C, which may have different shorting points like J15 vs J16.
Crucially, check if your version ends with (e.g., Sichuan or Shanghai Telecom versions). CA versions are high-security devices with an encrypted bootloader. Standard update.zip files for PUB versions WILL NOT work on CA versions without a specific bootloader patch, otherwise you risk a brick. Instead of hunting for a ZIP, you download a full system
