Huawei frequently updates the HiSuite backend services and the PC client. If a user runs an outdated version of the PC software while the mobile device has updated the HiSuite service APK (or vice versa), the handshake process fails. The "Proxy" refers to the background service on the device that acts as a proxy for data transmission. If the PC sends a request formatted for an older protocol version, the Proxy rejects it with the "Group version not match" flag.
On the Android device, HiSuite operates via a background service (often invisible to the user or found in Developer Options). If this service is force-stopped, crashed, or restricted by battery optimization settings, it may fail to load the current version number into memory, defaulting to a null or legacy value that does not match the PC client's expectation.

| Scenario | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| Mixing different EMUI versions | e.g., Base = EMUI 10.1, CUST = EMUI 12 |
| Cross-region packages | CUST for C432 (Europe) with Base for C636 (Asia Pacific) |
| Incomplete package triplet | Missing Preload or wrong Preload version for that Base |
| Proxy configuration mistake | Using a Point Version that doesn’t match the actual Base package’s hidden group tag |
