Why doesn't Huawei provide just the USB driver to use ADB? I'd like to use the MyPhoneExplorer application to sync my Android smartphone with Windows over USB.
This requires first installing a driver for the phone and the ADB application.

However, the official driver seems only available as part of the Huawei HiSuite bloatware: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html

Can someone confirm that there's simply no official driver from Huawei, and the alternative is either installing that bloatware, or find a non-official (possibly virus-carrying) driver somewhere?

Thank you.
Drivers are not distributed as standalone package in order to increase market penetration of the HiSuite software. It's quite popular marketing strategy: you can get what you want only in bundle with something you don't actually want, but need to get the primary item is big enough to make you buckle in and get the whole package.

Nevertheless, you can circumvent the bundling yourself:


download the HiSuite installer.
open the installer .exe with 7zip and extract its content preserving internal folder structure (a trick that works on most installers)
find something that looks like the driver 
run/install it, preferably on a disposable system first, to prove it's what you want.


In HiSuite version 5.0.1.300 it was \$_OUTDIR\Driver\all\DriverSetup.exe. Works with P8 Lite and Mate 7.
