Excuse my ignorance sonhow do you activate trusted face. I have already set up "my face"

They've also removed the functionality in which you can navigate using the fingerprint sensor ?

After the may 2018 update I noticed some 4G connectivity issues: no more internet. By moments, the phone would switch to 3G and then internet would work.
I thought I did something bad, so I reset APNs, etc. no luck. I even completely wiped the phone, but that did not change anything.
Then I saw this thread on Nokia forum:
https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000025066
For now, by forcing 3G, I can get internet all the time, but I hope this fix will be temporary.

ah sorry for a super late reply.. if u have already set up trusted face then it's already been activated.. just lock the screen and turn on using the power button.. there will be a small face icon at the bottom middle of the screen .. when it recognized ur face it will show a unlocked lock(open lock) icon.. then just swipe up the screen...

Much easier with the roll back firmware and sideload using ADB or straight from recovery.
Done the ADB and got 8.1 April version (no wipe and everything seem to work fine).
After that got OTA update to May security patch.
More here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76546067&postcount=56
It may be working without enrollment to developer preview. Someone uploaded the zip.

What's your location?

I was also stuck on 8.0, till I decided to go with manual method and update to 8.1 (I am in Ireland). I installed the 8.1 image with local method, no ADB needed. After that the updates were pulled without a problem.
If you want to follow the same procedure please find the topic "How to convert a Nokia 7+ from China Variant to Global" from the main Nokia 7 page and download "B2N-213B" which is 8.1. Ignore "B2N-3050", that is P preview which is very unstable. Place the file in the main directory of phone and dial the code provided in that thread. If you have the global variant there is no need to rename the file. To find the variant go to settings>about phone>build number. 00WW is the global while 00CN is the Chinese. (Thanks to hikari_calyx for making this possible).
It is likely that Nokia pulled the 8.1 updates off because of the stability issues on 8.1. The only issue I experienced after update was the NFC force close once. I enabled "show all force close in the background" from developer options, without that I wouldn't be notified, and after that I used NFC successfully, though the phone only recognizes my card near the camera! That is a terrible range for NFC, may cause serious issue for Android pay as payment devices have all sort of indentations on them. Anyone else had this issue?

Main directory is the same directory you open first when you connect your device for file transfer, that contains "alarms , android, data" directories. I put the file there without renaming it, and dialed the code. There are posts on the same thread that cover file not found issue, check them out. In any case if it doesn't find the file the only option is ADB sideload.

Face unlock was added
Face unlock was added and security patch updated to may

Problem with Google Pay on EMUI 9.1

Hello,
i have the problem with google pay.
The safetycheck says cts: false.
I have the build 9.1.0.241
who can fix this problem?
thanks in advance

I had the same, it's not verified by Google, I went to 9.1.0.311 and it worked fine.
---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------
It's not fixable without a firmware flash

It looks like this is a pretty common issue with P20 Pro users and here isn't a solution or a fix yet. Download to 9.1.0.311 until a fix has been implemented.

downgrade your firmware to previous version

Is it possible to downgrade without losing data ?!
Edit :Can someone point out a tutorial to downgrade?!

Install Huawei HiSuite on PC, Connect your phone to PC, once the HiSuite recognized your phone, go to Software Update, it will say your phone has the latest software available. Click the "Other software versions" (or something like that) below, and it will show you the earlier firmware versions. Select something you know it works well, and just go ahead with it.
You should also backup your data using HiSuite before doing the downgrade, just in case if you need to restore them later.

Help please for android security patch Mate 10 ALP-L29

Good afternoon,
So I got a Mate 10 Dual sim ALP-l29 (C636). I used to be on EMUI 10, but I want to root it (for one reason only, unlock camera api to get raw on the monochrome sensor).
I managed to roll back 2 times and ends up with 8.0.0.143 with the security patch of 1 october 2018. Unfortunately I need to be on June 2018 to be able to unlock the bootloader and then, root it.
So I tried hisuite proxy and copy paste links to try to get to an older firmware but I'm stuck.
Ideally I want ALP-L29C636B136 (8.0.0.136)
What should I put for CUST and PRELOAD ?
ALP-L29-OVS 8.0.0.136
ALP-L29-CUST 8.0.0136(C636)
ALP-L29-PRELOAD 8.0.0.136(C636R1)
I tried, hisuite, it download the files but then it stops at the install and failed.
I tried via the sd card and dload folder but stops at 5%.
A bit lost, if someone could help that would be awesome !

There is a solution, but requires the back cover removal and a paid software.
However, if you are interested in camera API, you will be disappointed, because Huawei devices has only limited support, no matter the firmware version.

Nope, camera2api support it's always limited. It was like that since Mate 10/Pro was released and sadly Huawei never enabled full support.

ok so I did the ministryofsolutions for 30 $ and it works, I have unlocked the bootloader + rooted my phone. Now I'm exploring files to see if I can find anything about the camera

Huawei P40 Pro Plus ROM files

So I got a Huawei P40 Pro Plus and I used by mistake my software files for P40 Pro. The Pro+ is now stuck and restarts every 2~3 minutes so I don't have enough time to download another version and repair it. I tried with system recovery on HiSuite as suggested in another thread but to no success. I wanted to ask if anyone knows where I can get the Huawei P40 Pro Plus stock firmware (ROM) so that I can flash it. All the ones I find don't have a dload file directory and are missing the SYSTEM.img file (instead there is this weird SUPER.img file).
Thank you in advance

I have the same problem, only on the contrary, I installed firmware from P40 Pro + on my P40 Pro. I am also looking for a solution to the problem, but unsuccessfully so far.

Try to restore via FASTBOOT according to this instruction: https://github.com/ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy/wiki/System-Recovery-Rom-Instruction-(-Soft-Bricked-)
only you need the correct cust and preload files for your region.

Would be interesting to know what exactly was done - I am struggling to get the firmware files placed on the right directory for Hisuite to detect and repair the phone . It keeps indicating firmware package files are missing .The background is I went from 1.56 to 1.31 and it has been a constant boot loop since then . Very expensive paperweight at the moment ,

You may be substituting invalid links in hisuite.proxy

You might be right . This is what I followed >
1. Prerequisites- OK
2.Full OTA -Installation Instructions :
You need to find the matching firmwares and link to them in the application.
The above is where I am stuck - how to link and what does ut even mean . I have got the firmware files downloaded , seems like the locked bootloader does not allow to go forward .
Any ideas ?

Latest update - upgraded to 1.57 by Hisuite Recovery. However the bootloop issue is still not fixed. IMEI is unknown and Camera has become upside down. I have very little chance to get support in my country from the service center where they refuse to support imported models and no option to send to UAE from where the model is from . Any tips will be highly appreciated.

You will need to find out using fastboot which version is current on your device, and then use the dload firmware for your region.
To find out how to get the latest firmware information, check Fastboot for the OEM information. PLEASE see post #253 for instructions if needed. Then follow the instructions for recovery via fastboot.

(bootloader) :ELS-N39 10.1.0.157(C185E2R1P1)
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.157
ELS-N39-CUSTC1851B2 (10.1.0.2)
ELS-N39-PRELOADC185R41B1 (10.1.0.1)
Tried with C185 firmware - recovery fails at 89%. Then the same bootloop continues with the above version ( moved up from the problematic 1.31. Now trying with 1.62 which is an approved firmware .Fingers crossed.

yes, only if you have p40 pro +, you need a firmware database for p40 +. in my opinion for p40 + this is ELS-LGRP6-OVS
and I can't tell you exactly which PRELOAD file is right for you as there are four of them.
if you just have p40 pro, then cust & preload look for ELS-N29 and firmware ELS-LGRP4-OVS base.

So far I have tried the MRT Key but it gives me failure when trying to establish a USB connection while the phone is in Fastboot mode. I am trying to find how to fix it right now and I hope it will work. I have tried Hisuite proxy before with versions 156, 144 and 132 but nothing worked for me so I will keep trying with fastbooting and the Key. Sadly I cannot say if it will be successful and if you should buy it for yourself. I found a tutorial on YouTube how to use it but that failure mentioned earlier is in the way and the recovery never gets past 5%.

Bummer - Recovery failed at 5%, no change in status unfortunately . While the preload and the cust zips seem to have the region specific C185 tags , there seems to be no way to identify the main file belonging to the same region for making sure all 3 files are correct. Any ideas here ?

Hi there,
Got your PM & read this thread to get more info about your problem.
You would need to use dload firmware for C185. Using other methods like HiSuite Proxy or HiSuite recovery won't help you at this point. Even eRecovery will get you ''Getting package info failled''!
{Mod edit: Link removed! - Oswald Boelcke, Moderator}
@Ashacreed, it seems that you got yourself a hardbricked device, because you've flashed a firmware from a diferent phone model, so in your case a new motherboard is required...

Dear SilviuO,
Thanks for getting back .
Nothing for C185 listed on easy-firmware , okay to flash with something else ? To be honest I made the most progress with Hisuite proxy method but unable to complete fully beyond 89% and the phone keeps in the bootloop every 1min 15 secs. Camera has become upside down and IMEI has become unknown .
I seem to have little hope .
Thoughts ?

You could try flashing other firmware (ex. for C605 or C432) using this method from my thread. You also need to rename those 2 zips (update_sd_cust&update_sd_preload) to match C185 dload firmware folder names . Be advised that this would be the first time someone tries the method explained on a P40 Pro / P40 Pro+ unit!

Guess that you will have to wait for a proper C185 dload firmware with a higher build number than the one you're currently on and try flashing again.
Kdrgs,
SilviuO

Version has upgraded to 1.62 but the issues are not resolved - because the flashing never completed fully looks like . The factor of the main file being not indicated as the main location based file marked for C185 region . I have got cust and preloaded files which C185 version , which seems to be not good enough . Interestingly wipe cache partition and factory reset do not seem to have any impact whatsoever on error , which I find strange based on my Android experience.

It is better to provide the all story and many, many details. From what EMUI version was on the phone, what methods you used till the current situation. There are so many variables.

It is not so easy as you think it is.

In my opinion it is better to go to the service.
It is a slightly chance to fix with HarmonyTP cable + HiSuite Proxy (Recovery OS).
Looking at your questions and answers, you have no idea about how the things works with this phone.
You can try to ask here too:
