The most common cause is only providing a Base package URL while leaving the CUST and Preload fields empty or incorrect.
Action: You must find and add the specific CUST PKG and Preload PKG URLs that match the Base version you selected.
Verification: Dial *#*#2846579#*#* on your device, navigate to Version Info > Version Information, and match the exact endings for CUST and PRELOAD shown there to the packages you select in your firmware finder.
In HiSuite Proxy: Ensure you have checked the boxes for CUST PKG and Preload PKG before starting the process. 2. Perform Incremental Downgrades
The error can occur if you try to jump too far between major versions (e.g., EMUI 11 straight to EMUI 9).
Action: Downgrade in small, incremental steps. For example, if you are on version .211, revert to .210 first, then .209.
Rule: Once you reach EMUI 10.1 or earlier, official unpatched versions of HUAWEI HiSuite may allow you to downgrade further without the proxy. 3. Use Compatible HiSuite Versions
Newer versions of HiSuite often block proxy-based modifications.
Recommendation: Many users found success reverting to HiSuite v10 (specifically version 10.0.1.100 or 10.1.0.550) for proxy stability.
Setup: You can find older versions on the HiSuite Proxy GitHub repository. 4. Enable "Force Auth Bridge"
If you are working with a re-branded device or if the phone continues to reject the package verification, try this setting in HiSuite Proxy. group version not match hisuite proxy work
Action: In the HiSuite Proxy interface, enable the "Force Auth Bridge" option. This can sometimes bypass regional authentication checks that trigger the "group version" mismatch. 5. Quick Checklist for Success
Firewall: Disable your Windows Firewall or antivirus temporarily, as they can block the proxy connection.
Order of Operations: Ensure you set up the proxy and click "Setup" in the Proxy tool before opening and clicking "Update" in HiSuite. Group version not match error · Issue #7 - GitHub
In HiSuite Proxy:
| Field | Correct File | |-------|---------------| | Package URL | Base file link | | CUST URL | Cust file link | | Preload URL | Preload file link |
Do NOT:
Use a known good firmware package
Make sure you downloaded all firmware files from a trusted source (e.g., HCU, Android Host, or Firmware Finder) for your exact model and region.
Check that all file versions match

Clear HiSuite cache and restart both HiSuite and the proxy tool. The most common cause is only providing a
Use a different firmware — sometimes a specific build is corrupted or incomplete.
Downgrade HiSuite (older versions like 10.0.0.510 or 11.0.0.510 often work better with HiSuite Proxy).
If you post the exact full error message and your phone model + firmware version, I can give a more specific fix.
The error signifies that the update system cannot verify the integrity or compatibility of the grouped firmware files. Common reasons include:
Missing Packages: Failing to include the required CUST and Preload packages alongside the Base package.
Version Mismatch: Using CUST or Preload versions that do not match the exact variant and region of the Base firmware.
Skipping Incremental Steps: Attempting to jump across major versions (e.g., jumping multiple sub-versions of EMUI 11) without following a sequential downgrade path.
Authentication Block: Newer Huawei security patches may block the proxy's authentication method for certain major version transitions. Step-by-Step Fixes for HiSuite Proxy 1. Include All Three Required Packages
The most common fix is ensuring you aren't just flashing the "Base" package. You must provide URLs for all three components: Base PKG: The core firmware file. CUST PKG: Customization settings for your specific region.
Preload PKG: Pre-loaded apps and operator-specific configurations.In HiSuite Proxy, ensure you tick the boxes for "CUST PKG" and "Preload PKG" before starting the process. 2. Verify Version Information via Engineering Menu Mix different Cust versions Skip Preload if it’s
To ensure your CUST and Preload packages match your hardware exactly: Open the dialer and enter *#*#2846579#*#*. Go to Background Settings > Version Information.
Check the Version Info to see the exact CUST and Preload endings (e.g., C636, C432). Match these IDs when selecting ROMs from FirmFinder. 3. Perform Incremental Downgrades
If you are downgrading, do not attempt to skip versions. You must revert to the version immediately prior to your current one (e.g., from .211 to .210, then to .209). Skipping steps often triggers a "Software Install Failed" or "Group version not match" error upon reboot. 4. Troubleshooting Specific System Blocks
Force Auth Bridge: If your phone is a rebranded or Chinese variant, check the "Force Auth Bridge" box in HiSuite Proxy to bypass standard certification checks.
HiSuite Version: Many users report better success using HiSuite v10 or specific older builds (like 10.0.1.100) rather than the latest version 11, which may have patched proxy vulnerabilities.
Port Conflicts: Ensure no other software is using port 7777. Apps like "Armoury Crate" can conflict with the proxy server. Group version not match error · Issue #7 - GitHub
Before diving into the error, let’s quickly establish the context. HiSuite Proxy is a third-party tool (developed by users like ProfessorJTJ) that acts as a middleman between the official Huawei HiSuite PC application and Huawei’s firmware servers.
Users turn to HiSuite Proxy for several reasons:
HiSuite Proxy works by intercepting the official HiSuite update requests and redirecting them to a custom URL (usually a Google Drive or GitHub link containing the firmware files). When everything works, it is seamless. When it doesn’t, you get the "group version not match" error.
After pasting each link, click “Check Group Version” (if available in your proxy version).
