Hello everyone.

THX for the guide, but it din't Work for me, tried several times and ended up with the same Picture as posted earlier, Your device is not supported for update, right now running .187 update, done by dload metode.

seems like the ADB driver maybe be the issue here? Tried to install the lates Google USB Android driver.

Strange thing: my Skype in Windows10 was staring up, while runing this guide?

Have you correctly saved windows file ?

I had the same issue, then realised that the file was not saved where it was supposed but in 'documents' folder.

I had to change permissions to rewrite windows files.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grondah:
For those getting the error "your device is not supported by system recovery" are you trying to wait for HiSuite to boot it into recovery? (You may get a number of fastboot windows spawning as it tries to restart the phone.)

That doesn't work.

As per the steps in the tool you have to manually boot to recovery and then click the button to continue at which point HiSuite sees the phone already in recovery and carries on.

Just a thought.

Oh well i think I give up. I am too facing the issues not recognised. I have boot into fastboot first before running the hisuite but still say device not compatible.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomanic:
Really encourage you to try on different computer as I went through the same problem. Didn't figured out what caused the issue on my regular PC. Tried deactivating antivirus, firewall etc. One difference I noticed:

PC that didn't work - when running the FHHisuite... as admin it executed very quickly before the command prompt window disappeared (it all took maybe half a second).

PC that did work - when running the FHHisuite... as admin the command prompt stayed open and I could clearly see what's happening.

Just my two cents.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] douglasmietto:
How recovery mode do you speak is to hold the volume knob more along with the power button?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomanic:
This is how I did it:

1. Turn off the phone

2. Hold the volume down button

3. Plug-in the USB cable while still holding the volume down button until you see fastboot

4. When you are in fastboot you press continue button in HiSuite

It was only the first time I'd used 1.3 so experience was same as before.

178 and 222 should both be the March security updates. Only difference bis a couple of extra "features" in 178. Don't forget that a newer version number doesn't necessarily mean a newer update.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Z953RR:

Phone works perfect downgroaded 222 to 178 no problems with that

Enviado desde mi LYA-L29 mediante Tapatalk
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I was on 222 but after all of the firmware download links were removed other than 206 I got it into my head that I should flash 206 with the new tool since that was apparently the latest Google certified build. I thought 206 was one of the builds with the March security patch and that the phone might not treat it as a downgrade. It's actually a build with the February security patch. Oops. The good news is that the new tool worked well. The modded HiSuite crashed for me at the install-recovery stage (it always crashes on me at least once) and when I started the process over HiSuite didn't need to download the update from Huawei servers again--that showed 100% almost immediately and went straight to the unpacking stage. The bad news (for me) was that I needed to factory reset my phone to get it to boot up and I'm back on the Feb security patch--but that's my fault for not reading the changelog for the build before doing the flash.

In any case, the new tool works well and even though I actually have a Funky Huawei pass for my phone I prefer this update method because it takes a fraction of the time that downloading firmware from Funky Huawei does. The most recent update I did through FH took over 2 hours. This process took less than 30 minutes.

Thanks for creating and updating this tool even though in this case I really wish that I hadn't used it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] douglasmietto:
Please take these doubts,

after the installation of Hisuite I have to disconnect the cable from the internet or this process is done by putting the # in the host file? and the correct procedure is

1- Install hisuite

2- install the hisuite patch as administrator

3- install Hstool 1.3

4-do the procedures in Hstooll including changing the host file

and how long it takes for the update to be fully installed and the phone rebooted

REMEMBERING I ACCESSED THE SITE AND MAKE AN ACCOUNT IN FUNKYHUAWEI, DOES THIS CAUSE SOME PROBLEM TO UPDATE?

Honestly if you are worried about using Google Pay it will probably still work. There are several different things SafetyNet checks on and some of them can be falsely triggered.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mdrda:
1. people started using firmware finders and linking firmwares they found; good thing 2. Huawei went crazy adding new versions with little difference too often; maybe variations for different region/carrier/model due to some specific agreements with partners on specific markets? :laugh: Anyone knows?

1+2=anyone can find and install firmware at will, myself I will updated OP firmware list on random basis when I personally experience an interesting build (e.g. major feature upgrade with full Safetynet pass) or such an interesting build is reported to me :) Hope you're ok with it.

I haven't had Google Pay (the in-store payments function) work on any Android build that didn't show up in the Play Store as being certified. That's nothing to do with Huawei--it's Google Policy that applies to all Android phones including their own Pixel devices.

The latest certified build for this phone is 206.

The only way to get Google Pay to work on uncertified ROMs is to be rooted and use Magisk.

I have no idea why people keep saying Google Pay works on all these builds that don't pass safety net because it doesn't. Google Pay will still work for app purchases made on a phone but the NFC function at store registers will not work on an uncertified ROM without root and Magisk and even a ROM certified by Google will show up as uncertified in the Play Store if the device doesn't completely pass safety net because safety net check is used to determine if the device has been altered-- for example an unlocked bootloader always triggers a safety net fail and Google Pay will not work for in store purchases.

Whether banking apps still work is completely separate and depends on what security standards the app requires.

My Chase and Paypal apps always work on certified, uncertified, stable and beta ROMs because they have lower security requirements than Google Pay.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
Sometimes some does.

But no biggies, just use ' Magisk hide props' module to spoof a playstore validated fingerprint.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grondah:
Google Pay via NFC has worked on every build for me even with CTS Profile mismatch.

Maybe it's region or device specific.

Unless the builds are being modded to trick Google Pay in store payments shouldn't work on any uncertified ROM and that has nothing to do with region.. That's Google's policy and Google Pay is their app.

Unexpected filesystem operation error (code=7).n stage...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Wearevoip:
You seem to think everyone who tells you it's working is wrong. We know what Gpay is.

My FH upgraded me from c34 122 to c636 187 and left me with no Gpay. I used hstool to go to 206 which reverted me to c34 in the process. At that point still no Gpay. I factory defaulted and restored backup and now Gpay works but CTS still fails. Maybe Gpay shouldn't work, but it does and I'm glad.

So unless there is a great conspiracy and all our cards are being cloned by a clever fiend, we are just lucky.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
You are completely missing the point. There are multiple people who claim that Google Pay has worked for them on every build they have downloaded and flashed from this thread whether the builds pass safety net or not. If you actually do know anything about Google Pay then that should sound strange to you. I don't understand why nobody else finds it suspicious. Google Pay only works on 1 of the 8 builds currently hosted by Funky Huawei but it's apparently working for some people on every build here?

If Google Pay is working on ROMs where it should not be working that makes me wonder if these ROMs are actually coming from Huawei or if they are actually from more dangerous sources like servers in Russia.

If a ROM has been modified with malware at the ROM level Google Play Services will not detect it and Malwarebytes will not detect it.

I initially thought people were providing incorrect information in regards to Google Pay but now I'm becoming seriously concerned about the source of these ROMs.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Wearevoip:
I'm not missing the point at all. In my last paragraph I referenced a possibility of malware. It would certainly help if Huawei were more forthcoming with information on their versions.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Maybe there's something there, which is why in Play store settings it says that the device is not certified? Yet it actually is. So something is tweaked specially to make Gpay work. The .187 firmware from halabtech Gpay didn't work. I downloaded the .198 from there but it said that the firmware wasn't compatible when I tried to install. I downloaded the same firmware from androidhost this installed and Gpay is working.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mdrda:
1. Modified ROM (unless the attacker has Huawei private signing keys) would not flash with HiSuite.

2. Image(s) linked in OP are hosted at Huawei CDN (DNS can be spoofed, but then 1. applies).

So it's very safe to assume a genuine ROM will be flashed. Regarding FH, they also (very likely, because of 1.) redistribute genuine system images from their own servers. Additionally they push genuine cust and preload images (C636) version for every device. HSTool keeps cust and preload to variant according to device OEM info.

Back to GPay: nobody except Google knows exactly how much crippled its functionality is when ctsProfile mismatch is detected. GPay behavior may differ between versions. The point is that for a given region with a certain cust a certain system image version will pass full SafetyNet check. See OP for test results I personally experienced (I am on Vodafone Czech).

Sticking with official OTAs or being Huawei/Google informed insider is the only way I am aware of for knowing in advance that a flashed ROM will pass SafetyNet check at a given time. SafetyNet API is an online service, so a given ROM may fail SafetyNet check one day and pass it another day.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mdrda:
To be entirely fair it needs to be noted that FH claim to be to root BL locked device. It seems Huawei has a bug in their firmware which can be exploited. I assume they're doing it by exploit in recovery process (original FH patch does nothing interesting regarding this exploit).

Locked bootloader prevents custom ROM flash via fastboot.

What works however even with locked BL are these commands:

fastboot flash rescue_recovery_kernel

fastboot flash rescue_recovery_ramdisk

fastboot flash rescue_recovery_vendor

fastboot getvar rescue_enter_recovery

This may me the entry point to the exploit?

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grondah:
Not necessarily. Because Huawei's numbering system isn't sequential it doesn't necessarily mean that a higher number is a newer build.

178 is another branch of updates so it doesn't match the 2xx
