P30 update

I updated using firmware builder by changing the dns in my router a few months ago. Since then there have been multiple updates that show as approved for installation. I have tried registering via the firmware finder app and thru the desktop app. Each time even after checking which update is registered for update it will show the new update as registered. However when I go into erecovery it tries to download the current version that i have been on for months. Any ideas?

Double check you're connecting to the right WiFi, I used my laptop as a hot spot with altered dns but it was automatically connecting to my normal home WiFi via recovery.

Thank you so much for the files and instructions. I was successfully able to upgrade my P20 Pro from 311 to 320. If I would have known about this method before, I would have used the same to upgrade from EMUI 9.0 to EMUI 9.1. I used the USB-OTG method instead.

Hey Guys, I am using Honor View 10 (BKL-L09) C675 and on EMUI version 9.1.0.327.

I was able to downgrade successfully to 9.0.0.228 via HiSuite on windows. But I want to downgrade further to 9.0.0.218. I have downloaded all three firmwares from firmware finder mobile app i.e. 9.1.0.327, 9.0.0.228 and 9.0.0.218.

Is there any way to go back to 9.0.0.218? My phone is on locked bootloader and not rooted.

Yesterday I received 9.1.0.252(C432E1R1P9) via actual HiSuite 9.0.3.300.

No modification of files or hosts file was necessary.

After installation, the phone itself got the patch 9.1.0.252(C432E1R1P9patch02) via OTA to improve fingerprint scanner performance.

Everything is working very well and smooth.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] devinfriday:
Hi, i try to post here as my last resort. Mine is a FRD-L09C432B394 Honor 8, downgraded witg Firmware Finder from B416 to upgrade to Oreo. Anytime i try with FF to download with DNS method, the updater can't download anything (Download Failed popup). Manual download of UPDATE.APP, then put it in dload folder fails everytime at 5%. Tried to follow the guide with modded Hisuite but something is missing, do i have to modify the DNS in my router? Anyway, with this version of Hisuite 9.0.2.304 i am able to download the B398, but after the first reboot the phone stops with error: Software install failed - The update package does not exist. Please download the package again.

Any ideas???
[Other Tools & General Discussion] devinfriday:
Self quote to say i got a partial success!!! With the modded Hisuite and eRecovery register method i was able to upgrade to B521. No way for B562, due to Firmware Finder can't find the correct firmware for my L09, only L19/L02, but i'm happy with it ;)
[Other Tools & General Discussion] zgfg:
Tested recently on Mate 9, MHA L29, for upgrading from last OTA 9.1.0.252 to 9.1.0.255 (C432E7R1P8).

Everything worked as expected but although 255 showed as Approved in FF, upon upgrading the CTS Profile failed, causing Google Play to declare that Device is not Certified.

Tried also eRecovery but it reported that Package info cannot be obtained, failing to download/reinstall 255

Then used the same modified HiSuite + FF method to downgrade from 255 back to 252.

There were twelve (12) MHA-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.252 FullOTA packages on FF (with even six from the same date 10.7.2019.), all of the same size 3.6 GB.

Checked couple of them – all having the same ChangeLog and all declared as Approved by FF.

Used one of them (package #279403, not the first and not the last among them), it downgraded successfully, and now CTS Profile is again ok, Device is Certified and eRecovery also correctly recognizes as MHA L29 9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8).

Hence method generally works for EMUI 9.1.0 but it seems that some packages are showed as Approved by FF although they are not really Certified by Google.

Attached the updated HiSuiteConfig.xml, expanded with Honor View 20 (PCT), Huawei P30 (ELE) and Huawei P30 PRO (VOG) –merged from the corresponding HiSuite + HSTool threads (similar method, also using modified HiSuite, but feeding HiSuite by HSTool with the firmware pre-downloaded to PC):

In System Update, when it offers you 480 MB (partial) OTA, go to its Settings and force Full update

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Don't worry, once (if) you update with that old+modified HiSuite, reinstall the latest HiSuite to your PC, or just use two PCs.

Instead of HiSuite, you can also use stock Backup app to back-up to SD card or USB OTG - depending on your model

And tthere is also another hack for HiSuite - instead of Firmware Finder triggering TeamMT server to feed HiSuite, you first download FullOTA update files by Firmware Finder to your PC, and then use HSTool to feed the modified HiSuite.

It requires another HiSuite version and tweaks:

@zgfg

For example in my case, the full OTA contains 3 files

https://i.imgur.com/X2InIfO.jpg

So after preparing all the files and programs, and executing HSTOOL.exe, it encounters a problem and then it terminates itself automatically:

https://i.imgur.com/9uOxGrQ.jpg

The phone's version is PIC-LX9C432B130 and I want to upgrade to this PIC-LX9C432B161 to fix the lag problem (become of a suggestion of a user). Maybe, after a successful update, I will try to go to the last available.

This is the version I'm trying to download

https://i.imgur.com/1q9vSuv.jpg

I can try to rename the biggest file to the expected name (by hstool), but I dont know if it will be a correct file and maybe it brakes the phone :crying:

Can you help me to figure out what to do in this situation?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] zgfg:
You can try by renaming the zip file but according to you ptrscr it looks like unzip error - did you try to unzip, does it contain update.app, and then, can you open update.app by Huawei Firmware Extractor (PC program)

Btw, I actually used only HiSuite + FirmwareFinder method, not HiSuite + HSTool, and on MHA-L29, not PIC-LX9 but things work the same way across the Huawei devices, and the listed threads explore the same idea
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Ci5co:
I tried to research why there are 3 files, and I think they are applied one behind the other. I opened each of the files and look for known files and 2 of them have an "update.app" file inside (the 2 biggest zip files). The other one looks like it is just a smaller update.

I assume the hstool fails because it is expecting a file called "update_full_base.zip". So I tried renaming each of them to that name and the process could continue normally, for the 2 zips that have an "update.app" file inside. For the smaller one an error message is displayed "Extracted firmware is defective. Assistant aborted...".

I am not an expert about this, but it looks like the biggest file is the main system update, but it doesn't have any apk to apply. Meanwhile, the second biggest file is just APKs mainly.

I feel hopeful about applying firstly the biggest and then repeating the process to apply the second one, will work. (or maybe just the biggest one)

Yes, it is a pity I could not make it work with the first method.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] zgfg:
By looking to your package name, it is both for PIC LX9 and L29 c432 B162, but the file

update_full_PIC-L29_hw_eu.zip looks like only for L29 (?)

For example, similar common packages for EVA L09 and L19 C432 B3xy or B50x contain four files, two common, then one for L09 (single SIM) and the other for L19 (dual SIM), and if doing the so-called HWOTA method, one must take the two common files plus the 'third' file corresponding to his model.

(Generally, your description of what are your three files sounds ok)

But I am afraid that HSTools method(s) work only for EMUI 9 firmwares, coming with the single file update_full_base.zip, and that you cannot 'concatenate' two or three by renaming them.

You say that you tried and it worked (for two files?) - if so, then follow by Install latest firmware + Factory reset from eRecovery (to fix the same b161 or even to properly update further)

However, did you inspect/ask on the XDA Nova 2 forum (generally about updating issues and methods):

https://xdaforums.com/nova-2

E.g., I see there a thread for HWOTA method:

https://xdaforums.com/nova-2/development/hwota7-hwota8-nova-2-t3787253

That would be the right method for updating EMUI 5 (Nougat) and EMUI 8 (Oreo) FullOTA-MF packages (like yours, and even if not confirmed for your IMEI), but HWOTA requires unlocked bootloader (should not be a problem for EMUI 5 by DC Phoenix, for the price 4-5 Euros).

But I see a catch there, in its OP post #1, there is a link to Mega, but the HWOTA zip utility for Nova 2 is no more there - maybe, you can ask the author or if somebody has a copy

EDIT:

You can check also here:

https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=25080

Their packages should be suitable for the simplest DLOAD method (no tools like modified HiSuite or HWOTA, no unlocked bootloader required).

But c432 packages (at my first glance) are listed as Featured, hence they require their paid subscription (I think the cheapest is Silver for 16$)

How to update manually

Hi, after many attempts i succesfully updated my p20 Pro.

I made a hotspot from my laptop to connect the phone to internet.

The method that I use is the following:

1.Install HiSuite 9.0.2.304

2.Install Firmware Finder from google play

3.Find the firmware that is compatible with your phone by pressing check availability(BE SURE TO SELECT THE "FULL-OTA-MF" NOT JUST THE "OTA")

4.Go to Hosts and add: "188.225.84.142 query.hicloud.com"

5.Check your phone to be connected to the laptop hotspot and register your firmware

6.Connect the phone to pc and open HiSuite and press update

The connection to the laptop hotspot is recommend to avoid another problems.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Luis2k33-XDA:
That is cause this firmware is not compatible with your device, i had the same experience, for example we can see 3 firmwares with the same name, you need to try 1 by 1 until its the right for your device, if not the updating will stop at 5% when phone is booting and installing it,

You can try DLOAD - ofc, you must know what was your cust (use the same) and the same or close build number (at least match if it was EMUI 8, 9 or 9.1)

Where are you? Don't recognise your region code. But lgrp2 is generally European models, but sometimes they're code specific still and only way to find out is download the files and open the xml. Sadly just because it says approved doesn't mean it will always works.

And I assume you've checked the dns settings etc work as they're suppose to and that when you go to erecovery you're connecting the the right WiFi? Ipv6 disabled etc?
