Hi all, I'm at my wit's end and would really appreciate any advice.
So I have the p20 pro variant in the title, it's still on EMUI 8.1 and has a lot of bugs. Hicare can't find an update, neither can hisuite.
I tried FF and downloaded a Full-OTA update that was approved for my IMEI. I tried flashing it via Dload method but it reboots to the recovery and says software update failed.
Using the erecovery method with DNS change also does not work as it has some error parsing the update.
The phone works fine otherwise but all these small software niggles are getting to me.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to update this phone to EMUI 9.1? It is not bootloader unlocked.
Thank you for reading this far.
Have you already tried the modified version of hisuite?

I have not! Looks like my googlefu is weaker than I thought. Looking into it now and will report back if it works.
So I tried the modified HiSuite method with HStool but I get the error "Your device is not supported". I don't really know where to go from here.

Hello
I took my p9 lite vns-l31c432. OK
I made it go to was-al00c00b240. OK
i reflected huawei's recovery.img stock and i closed the bootloader.
it works properly.
NOW.
I tested ota update with the phone, does not work.
I tested finder does not work.
i tested huawei updater v2.0, does not work.
I tested update on the pc with hisuite, does not work.
I can not register for the beta, I do not have a Chinese phone number, I am in France.
And
of course dload method, sofware install failed!

Nice try man! Ok, did you try to update b311 using ffinder, or just with beta program? Now, I see that they remove beta b311 from ffinder...
Also, just keep it in mind that Emui 8 change some partitions including recovery sectors. So, we dont have Twrp for emui 8 for our models, and its big posibillity to stuck on some beta emui 8 lets say Al00C00 without any chance to rollback to Emui 5 and destroy partitions, brick your phone trying that. Just wait for custom recovery for Emui 8 for Kirin 658, after that u can do some experiments ?
Regards.

new tests.
Too bad, I tried DC-Phoenix V50 with 15 credits.
to install b331-log, after having restarted the installation 4 or 5 times, he finished installing it completely. I wonder how dc-phoenix can create a new partition.
and that on xda, there is no dev that could create an equivallent toolkit.
But, the p9 lite remains on a black screen, the volume and power buttons do not respond anymore.
no led lights up. But it still remains recognized in fastboot mode.
so, I can always go back to a clean device.
Hi,
As per the title. I want to rebrand my UK P20 Pro to the EU version and hopefully some day enable dual sim. But just want the more frequent updates for now.
I have my bootloader unlock code.
I intend to follow dladz guide here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...to-root-debrand-remove-retail-t3788326/page16
I intend to download the CLT-L29 8.1.0.161 (C432) FullOTA-MF update from Firmware Finder.
1. Is it ok to proceed considering the guide is for .120 and I am on .133?
2. Can I use all the files in the guide, magisk, oeminfo etc but substitute the update*.zip's with the firmware I download from FF?
I am pretty new to this and have read and read the various posts, but just want to get some clear advice as to whether it is ok to proceed as I really don't want to brick my phone!
Thanks
Yes, went the same route with my P 20 for the same reasons.
Went pretty much headache free.
The instructions seem similar to what I done.
You can use the new firmware available, I went for the most recent I found.
Cheers!
Thanks for your advice. Have succesfully completed the rebrand. Phew!
The final factory reset failed at 99% for some reason and then rebooted to the Huawei logo for ages. Eventually I rebooted the phone and it went fine. It did an OTA update to 161 too. So all looking good!
Hopefully at some point dual sim mode can be enabled and I'll be all set!
Cheers.
Glad to hear it worked!
What is the difference between C732 and C432. I had my P20 Prod back in April time, and it came as a C432. My son, got his yesterday and it is a C732

Hey everyone,
I'm using the Huawei Mate 20 Lite (C432 version)
I was running EMUI 9.1 and was trying to install EMUI 10 with the dload method with SD card. I used the 10.0.170 C432 firmware wich I found on androidhost.ru
The installation was succesfull, but now, when I boot the phone, I only shows a screen what says "your device had loaded a different software"
I tried everything, nothing works to restore the phone...
Had anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Did you found a solution??? i have the same problem.
hello,
To install the GMS on my p40 pro +, I tried the downgrade method with Hi-Suite proxy and Hi-suite 10.0.0.510.
I just tried to downgrade my p40 pro + from 10.1.0.156 (c432) to 10.1.0.131 (C432).
Now my phone constantly reboots.
I manage to switch to Recovery but he gives me the message : Get package info failed.
I don't see how to charge my smartphone even if it is with the latest EMUI version.
please help. thank you

how do you install it without access to HSuite ?
I have the same problem, I can only access to
- Update and recovery system ( got the same error than him )
- Usb update option, don't know how to continue with that.
- Fastboot, but I can also not do much since is "locked"
Thanks for the help!

Have you found a solution?
Hello,
ifound a solution
I have a P40 pro Plus with the buid 10.1.0.156 (C432E2R3P3).
I used the following method to downgrade to version 10.1.0.132 :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2b_lBPc-Hk
and for install GMS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lcq...ature=youtu.be
The only downside is that it is not possible to update the version afterwards, but it works while waiting for a possible commercial release from the USA.
P40 pro 10.1.0.158 (636E8R4P1) how to downgrade
What method should I use to downgrade? Hisuite
Can't help me downgrade.
Cell phones don't have GMS just like they're gone.
accidently installed wrong version of OS even Firmware Finder approved it for installation, now my mobile reboots after every 20 seconds ....
any solution ????
we messed with our motherboard by installing wrong OS via Hisuit proxy ...
only solution is to take your mobile to Huawei Service center for mainboard replacement.. it will be free under warranty
Sorry to say but You have to go to Huawei service center and they need to replace the moterboard , this is the only way to get phone working. If You flashed wrong firmware you damaged IMEI and security certificates so no way that flashing good firmware will work now .
I had the same problem. No IMEI and constant reboots. I have sent the phone to Huawei for repair and they said they have to replace the main board. Yesterday I contacted the guy from the first reply in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/huawei-p40-pro-soft-brick-reboot-only.4166553/
He really managed to repair the phone and it is working normally now. It took about 2 hours and he charged 40usd. So I can definetly recommend him as I would have to throw away the phone otherwise.
any one can post preload and cust file for p40 pro c636 regions, i can find any on the internet.
or anyone can help me unbricked my phone
thank you

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:
