Bootloader can't be unlocked unless you already have the code or want to pay small fortune on 3rd party code. Lot have stopped doing them now aswell. Have you tried to see if hisuite can pick up phone on computer, that has some basic rollback and repair functions

Does the DNS method inside of the app work to downgrade?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
Careful when downgrading.... Not sure on the technicalities but use wrong method and jump too far can apparently cause bricking
[Other Tools & General Discussion] jackching:
I've read i can go back by the three button method using otg to .177 and hisuite will then let you downgrade. Havent tried yet though.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
Otg can downgrade, so can funkyhuawei or other apps but each seems specific eg locked/unlocked frp etc
[Other Tools & General Discussion] jackching:
ok when i find a certain software for my model that is approved for installation, does that mean it's approved from huawei for installation or approved on the team MT server therefore meaning i have to use the DNS method?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
By imei. But approved for and released are different things. Especially if you're on the likes of the UK C782 variant
[Other Tools & General Discussion] jackching:
Nevermind. Just bricked the p20 with black screen. Still have fastboot responses and thats it. Any help appreciated lol
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
Turn your phone off,plug the charger,press volume up and power till you feel the vibration, release power while keep pressing volume up till you go to erecovery,from there download the latest recovery and firmware by connecting to wifi.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] jackching:
Tried that and cant get to any screen whatsoever. The screen remains black but get fastboot responses all the time. Tried pushing the cust.img etc but still nothing

Edit: never buying huawei again
[Other Tools & General Discussion] allrightlite:
P8 Lite is my last huawei, but working well with 7.1.2. And it's fast. Normaly good phones, but new devices don't let you install custom roms. That's why I not buying them again. Very sad.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] elektropepi:
Source Code

I'm impressed by the app, I like the simplicity and it works as expected.

Is there the source code available? Would be great if such an app is open source as it works with highly confidential data such as updating the firmware and sending phone identification to some servers.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] nabeelrazanaqvi:
Hi there I have strange issue I can't find my wifi in erecovery every other wifi is visible and secondly I am emui8. 377 when I try to flash approved emui 9 it starts flash and 5% it says failed. I even tried to flash. 377 firmware but it also fails. What I am doing wrong I download the update.zip and extract it on SD card dload folder then go into project menu *#2846579#* and update SD card.

Please help

Thanks in advance
[Other Tools & General Discussion] jackching:
Can you not install custom roms if the device has emui8 on it? Isnt that why people want to roll back?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] allrightlite:
It's why huawei don't give out bootloader unlock code anymore.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
Double check you've laid out the file structure properly, and make sure you've extracted the necessary files into the dload folder aswell as having the zip files in there. Also pretty sure with dload it has to be "certified" firmware for dload method not just any software version off firmware finder.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] nabeelrazanaqvi:
Thanks for the reply

Kindly guide me which zip files as I have download the update.zip and unzip it in folder renamed it dload and copied to sd card.

Secondly how to check if it is certified with dload
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
You should have two zips. They need to be named correctly. Depends on phone and version of android your trying to load so use Google. You should put "update.zip" directly into dload folder. Then extract the files into dload aswell. Should then have a folder in dload called the same as the second zip. Put the second zip in the folder, and also extract the files into the folder.

Like this (clt-l09 just an example)

Dload

-Update.zip

-files from update.zip

-clt-l09 (folder)

--clt-l09.zip

--files from clt-l09.zip

This is how mine is arranged, thankfully haven't had to use it yet.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] nabeelrazanaqvi:
Thanks for the response. Here are files in the firmware finder file list I have vtrl29 so which zip files should I download. I am so sorry for bothering you again
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
The top one (update.zip) and then the vtr29. Be aware though skipping too many versions to pie can be bad. If you weren't on most recent Oreo, flah Oreo first, if you were, install first pie, don't just skip to the latest release
[Other Tools & General Discussion] nabeelrazanaqvi:
Thanks dear

Please I am sorry for bothering you I wanted to ask that should I make VTR-L29 folder or the full name of folder as in the file update_full_vtr-l29hw_meafnaf

Update: I have tried doing both ways but update failed on 5%. I am on emui 8 and bootloader locked

Thanks in advance
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
Sorry no clue, use Google. Plenty of guides. It will vary slightly depending if its pie or Oreo so make sure you check

Hello to all

I have a Mate 9 and i am trying to update it through the app with the eRecovery way. Unfortunately the dns doen't work for me. I have tried on 2 different locations with different wifi routers but neither on my phone or my wife's P10 plus works, I get the "404, Sorry not found" page, no mater what... Does anyone else have the same problem? it seems that the DNS doesn't register, but it is really weird that is happening on 2 different locations with different internet provides, and 3 different wifi routers .

Has anyone else faced the same problem?

The DNS i am using is the one shown on the app (188.225.84.142)
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
Make sure you set secondary dns to 1.2.3.4 (an invalid dns) and disable ipv6 as the server doesn't use this

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

For the P20 pro I just deleted the "update_full_" part. It was just named the model region code. Might be same for you, might not
[Other Tools & General Discussion] z@ck!:
Thanks for the advice! the ipv6 was doing the damage.

But now i have another problem..... on an approved firmware and with everything checking out but the erecovery gives a "failed" message.

Any ideas?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
Firstly, if you're already on pie and using firmware finder it doesn't work.

Secondly don't use any of the lgrp ones as they're causing issues for people. Some having luck some aren't. I know one version the camera doesn't work..... At all. App crashes 100% the time
[Other Tools & General Discussion] nabeelrazanaqvi:

For the P20 pro I just deleted the "update_full_" part. It was just named the model region code. Might be same for you, might not[/QUOTE]

I have tried that part as well. Did you change the folder name or the zip file name.

I have been trying for 10 days but no luck. BTW I am on 377 right now
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
Folder should be called "dload" all lower case.

Move update.zip into dload, extract contents into dload aswell.

Make a folder in dload and name it the same as other zip so vtr-l29mneaf or whatever it is. Put the other zip in there. Extract its contents into that folder also

Bare in mind for P20 usb way it has to be formatted in ex-fat to work, not sure if that applies to your version.

Each folder should contain the zip and also its contents extracted.

That's what worked for me

[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
I can confirm that the update passed successfully.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] jc83419:
it is working perfectly on Mate9, is there way we can use PC version for recovery installation?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] MarAri:
I tried the latest app on my Mate 9 Pro. I could download both the OTA update, and also the Full OTA B139, but both failed on the authentication. I enabled the option in FF and also changed the proxy settings on my wifi connection. When that didn't work I tried to do the same thing with changing the proxy setting on my APN with the wifi deactivated. It also failed on the authenctication.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] movizdb:
Download get stuck at 100% for my mate 9 :/
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
The download should be in hwff folder if u r just downloading the firmware.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] movizdb:
No i'm using the apk the download. Now i'm using the new apk that he provided on the thread. But now i get download failed. I changed the proxy and all..
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
Download fail if tge firmware doesn't exist or proxy not correct.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] movizdb:
Proxy is correct or else if wouldn't have seen the update... But something seems weird.. Download size is around 30mb
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
So choose another firmware,try full firmwares not ota.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] movizdb:
The full firmware is an older version MHA-AL00C00B106. I have the B156 and i want to update to B165 you see..
[Other Tools & General Discussion] wastedagen:
I just tied Firmware Finder from play store. Installed, run, found and downloaded latest FULL firmware (B138), unpacked and followed the three fingered salute (power + volume up and down) to go into recovery..... It failed as it failed to find update..... When I looked it had unpacked it into the local sdcard instead of external sdcard. So I moved it and redid three finger salute. And once again failed to update....

From what I see this app just automates what most of us have done manually. Source the latest update, download, unzip and place it in dload folder on ext. Sdcard.

So the only way to update a Mate 9 is an official OTA sent by huawei, or using funkyhuawei......

Probably works on my Mate 8 though. Not tried it yet....

EDIT: Just been told to download apk from OP link and not the version in playstore....
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:

[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:

I am using the windows version of Firmware finder. In the search window it doesn't find anything, even though I've selected the proper device model. But I'm able to find the right firmware via common base. Also I am able to register it and I get "approval for installation". I've set the DNS properly, and when I perform the connection check, it tells "Connected to MT Server". But when I try to run erecovery connected to the same network, it always tells me "Getting package info failed".

Am I doing something wrong? Or doesn't it work anymore? I'm not able to run the app on myphone, because it's soft bricked. Could anyone please help me? Thx a lot

Edit: I've put the link to update.zip (which I grabbed from the filelist, at the common base tab) into the download manager and started the download. I hope I can flash the included UPDATE.APP via dload.. But if anyone knows something, please let me know.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] mamaloo-xda:
Maybe the DNS is blocked by your ISP, for me it was blocked so I contacted my ISP and asked them to unblock it.

When open the app, it says it is not supporting EMUI 9.1.

However, I can still check the firmware version.

But when I tried with firmware upgrade from Proxy/eRcovery this seems doesnt work yet.

For region locked code, I think they have removed that for sure.

Let me know how to check in details.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] blufreak:
Oh yeah completely forgot about the 9.0 issue. There are other working dns update solutions but not free. Poss have to use dload method. From anything I can find there's only one version.... C431

For P20 Pro C7982 on .168 firmware.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] wurst_wasser:
First of all: Thank you for that great Tutorial! that is actually the first time I got a bit ruther to actually rolling back my phone; so far, nothing ahs worked. Maybe you could help me with the last steps?

I am on oreo as I bought the phone second hand. I want to go back to Nougat, so I can get the unlock code for bootloader via dc unlocker.

My firmware at the moment is VTR-L09 8.0.0.386 (C02). I tried to downroal to VTR-L09C02B161, as this is the rollback version. I also tried the B185.

My problem is that after downloading the file and transfering to to the phone via HiSuite, the erecovery gives me the message that verifying the update package failed. What can I do here?

Regards & thanks for your great work.
