The Huawei Y5 Prime 2018 and Y5 2018 series (models DRA‑LX2, DRA‑L22, DRA‑L21, DRA‑LX3, DRA‑L01, DRA‑L23, DRA‑LX5, DRA‑L42, DRA‑AL00, DRA‑TL00 and Dura‑Lxx / Dura‑AL00B) share the same MT6739 quad‑core platform, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, a 5.45‑inch HD+ (720×1440) IPS display and a 3020 mAh battery running Android 8.1 Oreo with EMUI 8.0.
In real‑world use, Y5 2018 owners frequently report bootloops stuck on the Huawei logo, random restarts, “dead” devices after bad flashes, as well as FRP/account lock and system errors that require a full scatter firmware re‑flash.
The firmware and board packages below include official EMUI 8.1 ROMs and tested MT6739 scatter files for different DRA/Dura variants, designed to fix dead‑boot, logo‑hang, software corruption and performance issues when flashed with the correct tools.

Flashing Requirements
- Windows PC or laptop with MTK VCOM/USB drivers installed so the DRA/Dura device is detected in preloader mode.
- SP Flash Tool (or an equivalent MTK flashing utility) that supports MT6739 scatter firmware.
- Stable USB cable and port; avoid flakey hubs to reduce the chance of disconnects while writing partitions.
- Battery charged to at least 60 % because repeated boot attempts and flashing can drain the 3020 mAh pack quickly and worsen bootloop issues.
- Verified backup of user data where possible; full scatter flashes and BD/board packages typically wipe internal storage and user settings.
How to Flash the Firmware
SP Flash Tool method (scatter ROMs and dead‑boot repair)
- Extract the downloaded ZIP/RAR until you see the MT6739 scatter file (for example de>MT6739_Android_scatter.txt) and associated partition images.
- Open SP Flash Tool, load the scatter file, then choose “Download Only” for standard fixes or “Firmware Upgrade” only when you are sure about region compatibility.
- With the phone powered off (battery charged), click “Download” in SP Flash Tool, then connect the Y5 2018 via USB so preloader mode is detected and flashing begins.
- Wait until the progress bar completes and SP Flash Tool shows a success message, then disconnect and power on the device; first boot can take several minutes.
- If the phone was fully dead, you may need to disconnect/reconnect or briefly press Volume‑ keys while plugging in USB to trigger preloader detection.
Huawei dload / local update (for any UPDATE.APP‑based packages)
- If a package extracts to a de>dload folder with de>UPDATE.APP, copy that folder to a FAT32‑formatted microSD card.
- Insert the card, power off the phone, then hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power until the EMUI update screen appears.
- Allow the update to reach 100 % without interruption and let the phone reboot automatically into EMUI.
- After boot, keep the phone idle for a few minutes so Android can optimise apps and stabilise performance.
For step‑by‑step screenshots and extra troubleshooting, follow the official SP Flash Tool Mediatek guide: MTK devices (SP Flash Tool) and Huawei’s EMUI SD‑card method: Huawei phones (dload method). These general tutorials pair well with the specific DRA/Dura scatter and dload files listed above.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What problems can these Y5 2018 firmwares fix?
These ROMs are mainly used to recover phones stuck on the Huawei logo, in endless reboot loops, or fully dead after a bad flash, and to clear software‑side issues like system errors or corrupted userdata by rewriting all MT6739 partitions.
How do I choose the right DRA / Dura firmware?
Check Settings > About phone (or the back label/fastboot info) for your exact model (for example DRA‑LX2, DRA‑L22, DRA‑LX5, Dura‑L42HN, Dura‑AL00B) and CUST build (such as 1.0.0.139(C461) or 1.0.0.150(C185)), then only use firmware where both model and CUST match.
Can these scatter files remove FRP or screen locks?
Full scatter flashes that overwrite de>userdata and related partitions can remove software‑level FRP, ID and screen locks, but behaviour depends on region and security patch level, and you must respect local laws and ownership rules.
Why does my Y5 2018 keep bootlooping even after a flash?
Persistent bootloops after a clean, correct flash can be caused by a degraded battery, failing eMMC, or hardware damage from drops or liquid, in which case board‑level diagnosis or part replacement is needed, not more firmware attempts.
Is it safe to convert to a different region (for example C185 to C461)?
Cross‑region conversions on MT6739 Y5 models are risky and can break LTE bands or cause activation and OTA issues, so they are only recommended for experienced technicians with full backups and tested conversion procedures.
