I have a Mate 20 on T-Mobile and I am having the same issue with the calls. Is because I don't have VoLTE and is a Huawei Issue. Do you have VoLTE? If you have it the signal during the calls stays in 4GLTE. If not the signal will drop to 4G(HSPA)

Looking for some help here - Was running the latest 10.1 update, tried to downgrade to 9.1 via hisuite.

For whatever reason the update failed on the phone, it's now stuck in a constant 'erecovery' loop, I can force it into fast boot but even the hisuite system recovery fails with this and just shows "Update failed, take to a repair center" on the phone.

Anyone know how I can recover this?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] IProfessor:
Have you tried to perform an update from erecovery?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mdrda:
Assuming you have a locked BL I can see a little chance for recovery without contacting a service center.

You can try if flashing a different eRecovery helps, but probably it will be rejected because of BL being locked.

Some inspiration here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/unbrick-bl-unlocked-device-hstool-nor-dload-method-working.3957456/

Instead of TWRP a flash of Huawei signed eRecovery may pass?

I don't own Mate 20 Pro anymore to test things out.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted89:
Thanks for the help, unfortunately even that fails:
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mdrda:
Recovery and eRecovery are two different things, specific to Huawei. Flashing eRecovery is impossible via fastboot afaik.

If your BL is unlocked, following the unbrick procedure step by step using TWRP should help. When BL is locked then it should be impossible to corrupt eRecovery partitions. HW error? Some sort of brute force downgrade procedure used?

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aventix:
My Mate 20 pro is after 3,5 Years also in a bootloop. I tried eRecovery, factory reset etc.. unfortunately my bootloader is locked and so is my USB debugging.

Tomorror I try to update the firmware via OTG, but i dont know, if i have the right version.

With fastboot commands i got "lya-l29 11.0.0.138(c432e4r1p4)" but the latested version i can finde is "LYA-L29 hw eu Laya-L29C 10.1.0.328(C432E8R1P5)" - Doesn´t seems right .

Does this version works ? and if not could someone please send me a link with the right version ?

please where is the dl link for hstool?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MTECHNIC36:
After many attempts, I still can't get this method to work... I've made sure to use all the links asked in the video, including the HiSuite Patch Installer he forgot to mention in the video (but has linked in the more info section).

Online mode : At first it would ask me to show IMEI number, to which I press agree. Then says model isn't supported. Although this was before installing the HiSuite Patch Installer...

Your offline mode method : Still comes up with a "No internet connection" screen and it can not continue any further than that....

I've tried reinstalling HiSuite multiple times to no avail. Also tried the 1.0.1 HSTool as well. The only thing I haven't tried yet, is where it asks you to edit the "hosts" file manually in the HSTool prompts, only because in that youtube video he skips that part too?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grondah:
You have to edit the hosts file when prompted oryou get the not supported error as it tries to update you over the web rather than using the downloaded firmware.

You may take a look at my not so complete video at : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEOBC1XnY4LNorB2gFS9-kg

At 04:26, I copy the "host" file from "Windows/System32/Drivers/etc" folder to desktop, edit it by replace the line after:

_____________________________________________________

#	127.0.0.1 localhost

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

#	127.0.0.1 localhost

After that i save the file and replace it to "Windows/System32/Drivers/etc" folder.

It works for me.

Google Pay can work on your phone for Android app purchases without working for in store purchases. You get an error message when you try to pay at a credit card terminal. Google Pay works on devices with no NFC capabilities at all--but not for in store purchases obviously.

Error 7 is typical for timeout in when new firmware is replacing the original.

It is rare, but if it occurs process needs to be restarted.

Mostly caused by full/almost full HDD or too many disk operations active.

Remedy: have at least 30GB free on primary drive and close maximum of other running apps, trying to keep only HiSuite and HSTool running

No difference between 1.0.3 and 1.0.1 regarding this error. Cannot be "fixed", it's what can rarely happen because of the method used.

You're experience with Google Pay is apparently 100% different from mine. I have been able to use Google Pay and add cards to Google Pay when it did not work for in store payments. What wouldn't work was choosing a specific card for in store payments in the Google Pay app.

If a device shows up as uncertified in the Play Store or Google Play Services that won't stop Google Pay from working. It only stops Google Pay working for in store payments.

I'm not sure if this will help u, but try factory reset, meaning full wipe. Or you can try uninstalling and reinstall the gpay.

Not necessarily because of the way Huawei do their versioning. An update 178 has just appeared which is the March Updates - this wouldn't make sense if all builds were sequential.

Just because a build number is higher it doesn't mean it follows from a lower one. They release different firmwares with different numbering systems for different areas.

I think it depends if your region/carrier has the update your trying to apply otherwise you'd get CTS Profile Mismatch

So for us that have carriers still on .122 we're used to it. However I haven't seen anything not work... Google Pay works and others that I read need SafetyNet, like Pokemon Go and Mario Run work.
