Pie?

Any way to rebrand a Chinese unit (CLT-AL00) to European L29 *AND* upgrade to Pie at the same time? If so, would it bring EMUI 9.x as well, projection mode and all of the regular firmware features?

Hey I went from zero updates. To 9. With funkyHuawei. Use thier firmware update option after you have used the rebranding tool. All information in on the site. Just google for it.

Is there an option on funky Huawei to fix this?

I haven't used funky, but does anyone know if there's a way to convert back to single SIM? I've somehow achieved funky without using funky.

Is there any other way of getting updates rather than waiting long or paying? I find a bit strange and unfair that people have to pay for that... I don't think any other manufacturer does that. And it is not cheap!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mudnightoil:
It's not Huawei. It's someone providing a service for you.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] golcheck:
I understand but is there any other way of getting updates? Like Google has all firmwares online, Samsung firmwares you can get from Sammobile, OnePlus from their website, you can easily download firmware for every phone. And there is no payment involved. Getting updates for your phone shouldn't be paid service. And $40 is minimum payment! That is so expensive!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Huawei doesn't provide any way to install updates that aren't offered as an OTA to your phone. They are very bad about it, which is one of the reasons the service exists in the first place.

Send an email to support. If you are sure the DNS is right, we can check server log to see what the issue is.

Most likely thing is DNS is not right, or package is not selected on site, or you are logged in from different IP from phone, etc.

I can't really blame a company for looking get rich only, but customer service says a lot about funky and who makes a company rich is the client. Profit with the need of clients, it will not take them very far.

I contact funky since the cost of unlock-bootloader service was 55usd, because every unlucker have problems with unlocks and funky never answered my emails. But surprise! i send one email today (They only sell unlimited pass) and answer me immediately to say "You can get the code, currently you’ll need to order an unlimited pass @ $135 USD to get it." and "Please stay tuned as we may offer bootloader code purchase in the future again." so.. this company only cares about money, does not care about customer service.

Unbrick Flash Tool Working Huawei p20 pro?

Nope if you bricked your phone you need to make a warrenty claim. And theyll send you a refurb device full of scratches and dents.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ady-86:
I have this strange black screen after the bootup on my p20 pro CLT-L09, Android 9.0.0.195 with a unlocked bootloader from funkyhuawei. Every time after I enter the home screen it goes black with no response.

This happended after I installed the magisk modules that are needed for edXposed ( I tried all version of that modules). The only way to get temporarily around this black screen is to flash the stock recovery_ramdis.img via adb sideload in twrp. But on the other side the stock recovery_ramdis.img takes away my root accses for magisk. By the way, my twrp data is encrypted even if I delete all security measures (password, face-unlock- finger print). So adb sideload is my only option to flash things for now...

If I try to reflash the patched_boot.img that is needed for magisk in order to get root access again, than the black screen comes back after the bootup.

How do I get completely rid of this black screen with the patched_boot.img installed. ? Is this also possible to do with no data formating ?

Can somebody please help me out here or redirect me to someone who can ?

Thanks !

Hi,

Any chances to test to unbrick a P20 EML-L29's radio ?

Story:

-this was an EML-L29 to rebrand with a locked BL.

-rebranding oeminfo via Testpoint while BL lock was not working but flashing back stock oeminfo was still repairing radios fine at this point.

-but flashing an EML-L29's BoardSoftware while having only backuped oeminfo : It killed the radio...

-EML-L29 is now with BL unlocked via code, with its stock oeminfo and get-psid but no radio and no imei shown in 'about phone' screen.

I'm suspecting that for p20 kirin970 It should be mandatory to also backup nvm and nvmodem partitions before using a BoardSoftware that will wipe them all...

Incorrect. If you read the information provided on the website the "free bootloader code" is subject to availability and an offer. It isnt something you're paying for nor guaranteed. Sad but true.

I also said they did provide it in the end but after a day I got impatient and sourced one elsewhere
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
That was not my experience, they sent me a spanking new device, cosmetically there was not one thing visible.

And whether they used refurbished for the battery and motherboard, i don't know, they state the didn't, battery sure doesn't feel like it and motherboard works, because i had a real brick, screen of death, no response under any circumstances whatsoever, so if THAT is refurbished, I'll take it any day.

And they did that flying quick 4-5 days from the day i left it in the mail to the time i was delivered it

Can you confirm that re-branding CLT-09 782 to CLT-29 482 using FHP20Tool (NOT FHP20SingleToDual) will maintain original bootloader unlock key?

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stevo_125:
So to counter some of the negativity, a success story.

I've just successfully re-branded my CLT-09 (782) to 432 having got impatient with the poor support on the UK region devices.

I used the P20 rebrand tool, NOT the single to dual tool and can confirm my bootloader unlock code still works. I locked and re-unlocked to be sure this worked.

Whilst not stated on FH site, the rebrand tool does NOT work on pie and you must downgrade first, I was able to do this with Huawei hisuite, painless and took around 30 mins.

Re-brand process is fine, it starts with bootloader unlock with a simple prompt for the unlock key. There is one step where the utility talks about plugging in the USB to continue re-branding - The phone will boot with a warning the bootloader is unlocked, and give you three options. You have about a 5 second window to plug the cable and hold VOL-UP or the phone boots fully, wiping out the temporary recovery and you need to start again.

Hopefully this warning helps someone. *Keep the phone in your hand, cable nearby, and pay attention.*

The last step is a a firmware flash - I suggest reading up on the guide for this BEFORE starting anything else. You need to be able to set a custom DNS on your router, or use a hotspot. Check this is working before doing anything else or you might find yourself stuck with a device that won't boot and no way of flashing the firmware back!

https://funkyhuawei.club/static/instructions201710.pdf

I initially flashed my device to the 9.0.0.195 release in the CLT-29 (432) section of the site. Don't do this! You must flash a Oreo release first or the bootloader gets in a funny state (recoverable). I had to use hisuite again to roll back to 8.1.0.161, and was then able to re-upgrade to 9.0.0.195, and upon plugging the device back in after booting was offered 9.0.0.263 by hisuite.

note OTA software check showed 195 at "up to date", so remains to be seen if OTA is broken or not, but provided I can update through hisuite that's fine for me.

So ~£18 for pain-free, re-brand from 782 to 432. Yes it can be done for free, but for simplicity the FH is simple enough and represents reasonable value - Just remember:

-roll back to Oreo before starting

-Be ready with the phone and cable in hand ready for the second step when the phone boots with red text offering 3 boot options.

-Do not try to flash straight to pie after rebrand. Oreo on target region first, then upgrade via hisuite.

-If you want to re-lock bootloader, be sure to do this before setting up the phone as it performs a reset as part of the process.

Hope that helps someone :)

Will flashing this using eRecovery method wipe data? Or is it possible to dirty flash? Thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Installing with eRecovery never wipes data.

The general rule is, if you are upgrading, it usually works fine.

If you are downgrading, it might not boot until you wipe the data yourself.

However, can never be 100% sure without testing it. Most likely, if you are coming from 106 or 107a, you'll be fine.
