[SOLVED] Stuck on EMUI 8.1 after repairing the Device - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

//check post 13 and 14 for two solutions
Hi I'm in a strange situation after the phone has been repaired in a Huawei center: my phone comeback with another motherboard and with an Old EMUI 8.1.0.163 version based on Android 8 with July 2019 security patch and since a new IMEI all my Ota updates got lost.
I've waited 3 weeks and no Ota update comes, nothing also with official Hisuite. I checked on FF but the first strange thing: almost every build after mine are already approved 9.1.341 / 345 / 346 / 351 / 361. Every builds says "approved" except for: 9.1.0.311 . This is the one immediately after mine (I repeat 8.1.0.163) and it's the basically the only one "not approved".
So I thought "maybe if I force the .311 update I'll get all the other builds by OTA" and then tried with the DLOAD method (that I already used in past) with THIS FIRMWARE. Nothing to do, it start but get "Software instal failed. Incompatibility with current version" that is very strange because firmware is correct.
Since I didn't found any other rom newer flashable with Dload method I opted for Plan B and tried with the modded Hisuite app. Tried firstly with .311 build, it start the dowload and all, put in the phone but when boot in recovery it's lock at 5% and then after a while said "update error" and reboot without installing it.
For the last things I tried still with modded Hisuite but with different builds (345, 351 and 361) but for none of these the download start (both full package and ota). Hisuite found the updates but when I press download it says "no connection" and also it didn't show the changelog (like it did with the .311). Tried Also few build newer than mine that are EMUI 9.0 and not 9.1 thought maybe I've to pass before from the 9.0 to get the 9.1 but same (no changelog + connection error)
In the end what did you suggest except "wait for OTA"? Is there somewhere newer builds (like .345) flashable with Dload method? Or a "fix" for Hisuite builds with the "no connection error" and with no changelog?
Thanks in Advance

Yup otherwise mine modded Hi Suite would not have seen the build .311 and all the other builds I've tried. 99% sure about the hostfile need to re check better

I told you that cause when I register the ip of my connection, sometimes I use VPN services, and I got error about connection, but when I am in the right ip everything worked, also try some different 311 firmwares from FF, cause I had the experience that when I had one approved but its not for my device I got error in installing it, it stops always in 5%, but if I register another 311 firmware from the list, until I find what works, it can be installed, this is the point now with the firmwares from FF, I recommend to you to install Android 9 before 9.1

You talk about phone or PC when you wrote about the VPN? Also another question: did you see the changelog when you choose a firmware?
I also thought about 9.0 but I don't think there are build based on 9.0. newer than mine. I'm scared of flashing build based on older security patch, highly risk of bootloop

I said About PC, what I do normally is with the FF app in the phone, I register the firmware I want to update, if it's available, after register in the phone app I go to the pc and connect the phone, and through hisuite modded appears the new update, it's very strange that your phone don't get new updates through Ota, maybe you can speak through hicare with the support about it, sometimes I went back to older firmwares for example if I didn't like the performance I went back and everything works normally

Still have to try the hotspot procedure but I've talk with hicare support: nothing to do, since July 2019 they can't no more force Ota update the only way they said to me was to re-send in repairing center. And also they said if I'm stuck on July patch with Android 8 probably I'll never get new update, even if I wait months and months. What a mess...

You can install android 9 through hisuite modded, not the last update for example try 328 firmware, and after that search for new update through EMUI and download 345 firmware that is the last at the moment, and you will have an official Ota firmware, this is what I did the other day after tried 361 firmware and didn't like how works

Ok I'll try thanks buddy. And for your modded Hisuite too you can't read the Changelog while you find for update? Sorry for loosing time just want to figure out if I've all setted correctly.

What I do is register it in the FF app, in the app you can see the change log, register the firmware with the ip of your internet and with hisuite modded everything is easy

Help getting to Nougat from C432B182

Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade my P9 to the latest software build but I've hit a brick wall. The phone is currently on L09C432B182 software version.
My phone was originally branded to EE (C440), but I followed the guide posted here to debrand it to C432. This was successful and after getting to B136 firmware I then got the updates to B166 and B182 in succession.
I've been using B182 for a couple of months, and all is working fine, but I've now got the urge to try Nougat. The problem is, all of the methods I've tried seem not to work.
- Huawei built in Updater app says no updates available
- Hisuite says no updates available
- Using the "Huawei Updater" via Hisuite/proxy method doesn't work as Hisuite is saying no internet connection (I think the custom ROM URLs are no longer valid)
- Using the Firmware Finder app and proxy add-on method gets me further in that I can download the updates (B360 or B361) in the built in Updater app and the phone will successfully verify them; however in all cases the installation fails at 5% due to "Software update failed! Failed to check the package"
- As a last resort, I tried extracting the update.app files from downloaded firmware, mounting in SD card/dload and then using the Dialer method to install from SD card; this also fails with a "Software update failed!" error
Has anyone had this issue when trying to upgrade from B182 and if so, did you manage to resolve it?
Thanks in advance
Nick
Don't try Nougat the battery life is ****
I tried the hisuite and Huawei updater route and got the no internet connection all the time. I gave up and went back to the firmware finder and tried to download B386 using the proxy method. This came back with failed to download. By random choice I checked the updater app on the phone to download latest full package. This immediately brought up and download the B386 firmware and it installed without a problem with no loss of data. Just to check it wasn't a bit of luck I did the same with the wife's phone and it worked the same way . As for battery life I don't see any problems with it

p20 pro stuck on firmware (Cant update)

My P20 pro CLT-L29 432 is stuck on 9.0.0.47 and has been for months USB, Hi Suite methods do not work neither has OTG so far bootloader is locked and FRP is locked even after removing google account and resetting the phone
Any Ideas?
I am also stuck on 9.0.0.286 and it doesnt tell me to update from OTA or HISuite..
Also for some reason the update information are missing. It says "no information" instead of " security patch etc"
I also did a factory reset but it didnt help...
Maybe some could give an advice.
same here no info and 9.0.0.286 version in austria
Iv asked huawei service yesterday they say that is no problem and update will be made by imei number and I have to wait so I don't know what to believe

no info
patch no information provided
From my observations, if phone is updated through a method other than OTA(Hisuite PC included), there will be no info about update in phone updater. Also, OTA might not work (my phone was stuck on 191 when I bought it second hand, no OTA, but imediately updated to 286 when connected to Hisuite PC. Didn't have update info with 191 and still no info with 286. Never received an OTA this whole time)
Didn't receive OTA for 9.1 and force updated using Firmware finder and modded Hisuite(to 311). Still no info after that.
Today Iv contacted huawei and they've said my serial number is ok and they will push send me the update. Iv tried all methods FF patched hisuit to instal no success.

How did you contact Huawei? I used the website a few weeks ago but never got a reply.
Iv contacted Huawei from Hicare app tells you in which huawei centar can you call and you can also chat online with them. Try from hicare app quick services

Tonight received by regular OTA in Austria
I contacted Huawei support via Hicare app (Chat) and told them that I didn't received any OTA update since April security patch this year, the last update I did was via Hisuit from 9.0.0.270 to 9.0.0.286 (which was my/Hisuit mistake because the update was not planned for my device) CLT-L09C432, and I didn't get any OTA since then.
I was told through phone call, after receiving information via Remote Smart Diagnostic, that they have informed the Huawei software development department about the problem, and I should get my update during this week.
I waited till Wednesday but nothing happened, then I backed up all my data via Hisuit, downgraded to 9.0.0270 via Firmware Finder Hisuit (Hacked version ) did a factory reset.
After logging in got notification for 9.0.0.293 did the update successfully, after the update got notification for update to 9.1.0.311, again did updated successfully, and last after the update got notification for update to 9.1.0.328 (August security patch) also installed successfully, and phone is running smoothly.
So who else is stuck on the 9.0.0.286 or older version this might do some trick with updating the phone via OTA eventually.
Have a nice day.
Just my 2 Cents.

i just get "failed to update"
I'm stuck on 311. Asks me to update everyday also at the end it says patched 01. I'm on 9.1 now but I've not noticed any changes from emui 8. Nothing sticks out, nothing has improved. I'm thinking it's not installed the firmware which was around 400mb because it takes less than 1 minute to download then less than a minute to install. Once it's installed, it asks to download and install again, every day for 2 months. I don't have access to a pc anyone help with this? Or how can I install beta 10 emui in the UK

Same Firmwareupdate since Weeks

Hi,
since Weeks i am having an annoying problem:
the Same update is coming, and i tried everything:
Install the Update approx 20 times
Check in Hicare -no update
Check in Hisuite - NO update
Email Huwai - No answer
Hard Restet (!) - Same
I have read that sometimes a newer update pops up, or with hisuite theres a new update, but always the same.
Any ideas?
I didn´t have the same problem but for me it was that I never got the 9.1 update.
Changing to another operators SIM-card triggered the update, and then after updating to the most recent version I switched back to my default sim.
Maybe it´s the solution to your problem as well, might be worth a shot at least.
This i tried also when the 9.1 update didnt come. Did not work for me. But i will give it again a try
Did not work, also via erecovery (official) , get an error
I had that problem when I did update via moded HiSuite from 9.0.0.286 to 9.1.0.325... I downgraded again to 2.0.0.286 and then I updated first to 9.1.0.311 (no problem), and after that to 9.1.0.328
So try if you want, but I'm not responsible if something goes wrong...
Link for procedure...

Can someone help me, im getting crazy.
I´ve tried it on 3 different pc´s, at home, in my company... Always the same.
Changed hosts file
installed hisuite and copied the modified files
opened ff on my p20 pro, approved .328 update
does not work, error.
Am i doing something wrong still?
I can download the update in ff, is there a risk to install it this way?

Have you changed the DNS in your wifi connection? Check out the box for IPV6, disconnect the internet, connect again and make sure that your mobile and Laptop are connected with the same network, you just need to change the DNS in your host file, nothing more, good luck.
Aaaah, i finally made it, wlan router with the dns settings did the trick, this was not mentioned in the manual i think?
Happy now
Thanks

Downgrading with HiSuite (No Internet connection errror)

So i've tried all of the solutions to getting GMS and not had any luck so far unfortunantly.
I've gathered from various forum threads that i need to downgrade from build 11.0.0.168 to something like 10.0.0.xxx, before i can use Googlefier
I can't get HiSuite 10.0.0.510_OVE to work (Get an error on my phone about the app needing location permission, which i can't toggle on anywhere), so i am using HiSuite 11.0.0.510_OVE instead as instructed in a youtube video i found.
I get the software installed on PC+Phone and press "Update" and get no error messages, only a note that i am using the latest version.
Then i run the proxy as described in:
Googlefier - Install GMS on Huawei/Honor
Wecome to Googlefier, After a successful tool for LG G2 and LG G3 owners (AutoRec), but after a long pause, here is something new and I hope useful Googlefier is a simple tool, designed to help you install GMS on your Huawei/Honor device...
forum.xda-developers.com
The proxy runs fine seemingly,
HiSuiteProxy.PNG
drive.google.com
But when i press update now i get the "No internet connection. Please check your network Settings." Error.
I can't find many posts about this issue when i google, except this one:
[SOLUTION] hisuite no internet connection
maybe usefull to someone , guys im trying to rollback my mate 10 to previous emui version using hisuite in windown10 , but it keep pop up "no internet connection" message . trying to find solution everywhere but cant seems to find any solution ...
forum.xda-developers.com
I've tried everything suggested there with no luck. I don't have any anti-virus installed except Windows, and i disabled that entirely for this.
Any ideas on how to fix the "No internet connection" issue would be greatly appreciated.
i get a little bit different problem here, im trying to downgrade my P40 Pro ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.166 to ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.131 using hisuite + hisuite proxy combination, hisuite proxy run fine without problem, but when i try to check update from hisuite, it's always show "you're now using the latest official version" without "switch to another version" options.
I already try hisuite from different version (10.1.0.550, 10.0.0.510, 10.0.1.100), and try hisuite proxy from different version (1.8.8(latest), 1.8.6, and bender007 modification), but the result always same, it's always showing "you're now using the latest official version".
this is the steps I already taken to run hisuite proxy before running hisuite:
1. open hisuite proxy
2. fill the Packaget URL box with ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.131 firmware url from firmware finder, fill the the version box with ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.131 string from firmware finder; (in another test, i try to fill cust pkg, preload pkg and the version string, tick point version, tick CUST PKG box, tick Preload PKG)
3. patching httpcomponent in hisuite folder
4. run setup
5. open hisuite and connect the phone
but, whatever steps I try, hisuite always show that "you're now using the latest official version" message everytime I checking system update on hisuite
Note:
1. hisuite connection setting already ticked on proxy as the hisuite proxy recommended (127.0.0.1, port 7777)
2. already check host file, and it's normal, no hicloud whatsoever
3. no antivirus installed
4. already set windows firewall off
5. already try from different PC
maybe someone can help me too fixing this issue here?

I managed to downgrade from EMUI 11 to EMUI 10 without using Proxy now aswell, so i'm down to 10.1.0.176 which is a step in the right direction. But now i run into the exact same issue as you describe "You're now using the latest official version"
After downgrading to 176 version i could actually use the memory card method which hadn't worked before. Got everything installed now, working perfectly (no notifications yet though).
Oh the joy!
I can't find any x.131 firmware on firmware finder and old links all are dead.
someone has a solution for this?

congrats dude, I want to try to dload downgrade my device too, but I'm afraid bricking my device if its wrong flashing firmware
can u tell me what firmware did you use? is was just base package firmware? or with cust and preload package?
I had the same issue, could downgrade to 176 using HiSuite then I used the OTG recovery with a firmware I was able to download. Version 121 (els-nx9-10.1.0.121(C432E8R5P2)) as my phone is a C432. Worked like a charm, an OTG adapter is only a couple of £/$ Mine cost £5 for two from Amazon.

i get a little bit different problem here, im trying to downgrade my P40 Pro ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.166 to ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.131 using hisuite + hisuite proxy combination, hisuite proxy run fine without problem, but when i try to check update from hisuite, it's always show "you're now using the latest official version" without "switch to another version" options.
I already try hisuite from different version (10.1.0.550, 10.0.0.510, 10.0.1.100), and try hisuite proxy from different version (1.8.8(latest), 1.8.6, and bender007 modification), but the result always same, it's always showing "you're now using the latest official version".
this is the steps I already taken to run hisuite proxy before running hisuite:
1. open hisuite proxy
2. fill the Packaget URL box with ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.131 firmware url from firmware finder, fill the the version box with ELS-LGRP4 10.1.0.131 string from firmware finder; (in another test, i try to fill cust pkg, preload pkg and the version string, tick point version, tick CUST PKG box, tick Preload PKG)
3. patching httpcomponent in hisuite folder
4. run setup
5. open hisuite and connect the phone
but, whatever steps I try, hisuite always show that "you're now using the latest official version" message everytime I checking system update on hisuite
Note:
1. hisuite connection setting already ticked on proxy as the hisuite proxy recommended (127.0.0.1, port 7777)
2. already check host file, and it's normal, no hicloud whatsoever
3. no antivirus installed
4. already set windows firewall off
5. already try from different PC
maybe someone can help me too fixing this issue here?

What do you mean stuck on c636? c636 is only the region spesification. It has nothing to do with software/firmware. Only thing you need to check is that the software i compatible to your region. 636,432 etc....
Maybe this could help...
I came from 11.0.0.168. I reset my phone and am now running 10.1.0.134 software (432 region) Here is what i did:
1. use hisuite 11 to downgrade to 10.1.0.176.
2. use hisuite 10.x.x.550OVE and firmwarefinder on PC to downgrade to 10.1.0.134 (131)
3. Got error with hisuite proxy (No internet connection)
4. Remember to restart computer after change from hisuite 11 to husuite 10.
5. Now i got "You are using the latest software"
6. Use the register for proxy in firmwarefinder (at the top bar)
7. Update your computer's network connection with the correct DNS from firmware finder.
8. Now hisute proxy/firmware finder should work as before and all the files are there without error.
9. Download over the net with proxy.
10. Voila. 10.1.0.134 is installed.
11. Start from scratch with GMS (googlefier or manual)
(i did manual and use the indonesian file after donating to get no errors and notification even after restart. )
12. A fully working P40 Pro inc. GPS, GMS, Notification, Playstore and no error.
Only Google pay not working due to cts profile "false". Can only be fixed with root.
Hope this help some of you guys.
PS! After updating the correct DNS in your network card og router all the files in firmwarefinder works normally like before.
Stay safe
I successful passed steps 7 and 8.
7. Update your computer's network connection with the correct DNS from firmware finder.
8. Now hisute proxy/firmware finder should work as before and all the files are there without error.
After that HiSuite offers me the wished update (10.1.0.117). When I click update and confirm the privacy settings HiSuite wants to start the update progress by downloading the firmware. I then get an error message that there is no internet connection and the update is aborted.
I tried to play around with the proxy and DNS settings, but no success. Is it because the Team MT downloads are down? Or can anyone else help me with this?

I did restart my computer and did the prosess over again. Than it worked... Thats all i can say.
Team MT files are not down, they are Just not reachable until you change dns...

Thank you for your quick reply. I will try again, but these DNS settings didn't work so far. I changed the IP4 settings in the windows options -> network adapter.

Same as i did... I did it 2 or three times and then i started downloading you could always try to change the ruter settings instead of the network adapter

I tried everything now, multiple computers, changing DNS on the network settings in windows and in the router. Nothing works. Once in between HiSuite offers me the right update, but whenever the download is initiated the connection fails. Anyone has more good hints? Because I am running out of ideas.
I have ordered a OTG cable just in case I cannot make it work. But that still leaves me with the task to find a firmware to download. I thought of the JNY-LGPR2-OVS 10.0.1.136 or 10.0.1.117. Where can I find these?

Stuck on EMUI 10.0 on Huawei P30 Pro after 1 year

So I had the phone for almost 2 years, and I realise that I haven't received updates since March 2020. I know that EMUI 11 is out, but I have not gotten an update after EMUI 10.0. I tried using the HiCare method, the HiSuite PC method, but nothing works. I'm currently located in the United States, I don't think it has to do where I am, because I know someone who has EMUI 10.1 or EMUI 11 on their device. What should I do to update the device? I also found out the region code is C636, which is Asia Pacific.
There's a thread on flashing firmware on locked boot loaders. That may be of help.

I would do it, but I think it's too risky.
Been there, done that. Don't worry, I can help for you not to kill the phone like I did on my first attempt .
The dload method works fine. Although, you will need to get the rom for our region from here (this is the latest 10.1 version, you can verify it here) . I recommend going with the OTG adapter + USB memory stick method (it will wipe the data so don't forget to make a backup before proceeding).
I just want to clarify that I haven't been able to upgrade from 10.1 to 11 with any of the methods you have mentioned, not even with HISuite Proxy (there's no dload FW support for EMUI 11). Since I'm a Mac user I had to go with a virtual machine so that could have been the problem though (I read other users have successfully upgraded to 11 once they were on 10.1).
The main reason for me to update the phone was fixing the wireless charging. I've bought a Huawei wireless charger and I'm having this issue (spoilers alert: it doesn't seem to be a software issue so no, still not working).
The process is relatively safe as long as you flash the right firmware. On my first attempt I flashed the firmware from a different region. The phone worked normally except for the device certification (no Netflix, Google Pay, banking apps and so on).
Good luck and just let me know if you have any questions.
Did you succeed to upgrade your device to emui 11? Please share your method if you did
Try to update via Hi Care (it used to be to force an update to Emui 11 before the update came out in the normal "updater")
In HiCare app -> select Your device -> Quic Services -> Update -> click Check for updates
