Huawei uses a proprietary protocol often managed by the HiSuite software. The USB driver is the lifeline that allows the PC to push gigabytes of firmware data to the phone’s eMMC or UFS storage. Without this driver, the flashing tool will simply hang at 0% or fail to detect the device port (usually labeled as Android Adapter ADB Interface or Huawei USB COM 1.0 ).

Without a specific driver, Windows might label it as an "Unknown Device" or a generic "Android Device." The acts as a translator, telling the computer exactly how to communicate with the phone's internal modem, storage, and processor interfaces.
