[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] JonasStomp:
Hi there.

I decided to post a guide on how to downgrade and unlock the bootloader of "Huawei P Smart"

I've seen a lot of people now knowing how to downgrade, to a unlockable firmware.

Please note that "Bootloader unlocking" costs 4€ using this method!

I do not take responsibility for any phone that Is bricked or damaged In any way, by using this guide!

Required Stuff:

Huawei P Smart (any model)

Charging Cable

Windows PC

DC-Unlocker (easily found on google)

Firmware Finder Huawei (found on Play Store)

And of course 4€ If you are unlocking bootloader.

Downgrading

Here Is my current firmware:

First of all we need Firmware Finder:

After that we open It and It should have a button with your phone model.

In my case I am using a FIG-LX1

On the list of firmware's I selected FIG-LX1C432B129 (8.0.0.129)

Now you should get to another menu and select the eRecovery option.

Then you should get this handy message with a DNS Address you need to enter In your Router.

In my case I found It under basic settings, and my default gateway was 192.168.0.1

After this Is done, disconnect, and reconnect to your WiFi on the phone.

Then press the "Open QUERY" button, on the same page as we got the DNS address.

Make sure the website looks like this.

Now press next, and you should get a "check availability" button

Should say this.

Press OK and press next.

Now press the "Register Update button.

Should come with a small popup saying that you registered It.

Now press next, and press OK on the second pop-up.

Now you need to power down your device.

Then you simply Insert the charger and immediately start holding volume up.

Release once you see this screen.

Press the "Download latest Version" button.

Then you should get into this screen.

Here you just need to press the "Download and Recovery"

It should connect to WiFi, and should start downloading like this.

Remember to check that It Is the 8.0.0.129(C432) Firmware!

After this Is done you should get into a bootloop.

This Is easily fixed by holding Power + Volume UP.

Now you should be In normal recovery.

Just press "Wipe Cache" and then "Factory Reset"

Now your phone will reset, and should boot into first time setup.

No need to set It up completely If you are going to unlock bootloader!

Here Is my Build Number after his procedure.

If your phone Is like mine, congratz on the Downgrade :cool:

Bootloader Unlock

Now for the bootloader unlocking.

As mentioned before you will need 4€ for this procedure!

First of all.

enable developer options. (press Build Number 7 times)

Then make sure USB Debugging, and OEM Unlock Is enabled!

Now we need to go to the dial pad, and enter In the number: *#*#2846579#*#*

It should get you to a menu like this one:

Once in that menu, go Into "Background Settings" and select "USB Port Settings"

In there select "Manufacture Mode"

Now plug In your USB, and open up, DC-Unlocker.

On the left Select "Huawei Phone", and press the Left button.

Then It should detect your phone like this:

Now you need to press the "Buy Credits" button, and go through their form.

Remember to buy 4 credits (he cost of bootloader code).

Even easier, you can get the DC-Unlocker app from the Play Store, and get credits through that.

They will send you a password for your account, once payment received.

Now press the "Server" Tab and login.

Then go to "Unlocking tab" and press "Read Bootloader Code"

It should give you your bootloader code.

Now comes the easy part!

Go Into the folder where you downloaded DC-Unlocker

In the address bar, type "CMD" (without the "") and press Enter.

You should get command prompt up like this.

Now you simply enter these commands.

adb devices. (make sure your phone Is listed)

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices (make sure device Is listed)

fastboot oem unlock *KEY* (replace *KEY* with your bootloader code from DC-Unlocker.

now you should see a "Yes or No" screen on your phone.

Press Vol up/down move and Power to select.

Now your phone will reboot, and automatically reset Itself.

All data will be erased.

After this It should pop-up like this, and then boot Into Android.

If everything went according to plan.

You should be unlocked and ready to flash some Roms :cool:

I recommend flashing OpenKirin roms, since they are specific for this chipset!

Sorry for the VERY big pictures, and hope you could use this tutorial :fingers-crossed:
