I will test also this mehod, but need some clarification on the pre-requisites below from HSTool:

Following prerequisites must be met before continuing:

- Installed HiSuite version 9.0.2.301 (Done)

- Installed a HiSuite 9.0.2.301 compatible firmware sideload extension (patch) which supports your device (Where can we download and install this)

Place "update_full_base.zip" along the tool executable: (Where can we download and install this)

I've downloaded the Full Firmware for 185 version and on dload folder i see the below zip files:

update_sd_base.zip

update_sd_cust_VOG-L29_hw_eu.zip

update_sd_preload_VOG-L29_hw_eu_R2.zip
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
1. Check here for more info and downloads links - ,,3. Download the FHHiSuiteInstaller, what you can find under the "HiSuite Method" menu HERE, then unzip this too''.

2. You need to download firmware using Firmware Finder from GPlay or site and NOT the ones from dload folder.

3. You'll have to download this version to use

4. Don't forget to replace after installing FunkyHuawei tool their file with this file (C:/Windows/User/yourusername/AppData/HiSuite/userdata/UpdateDogDev/HiSuiteConfig.xml)

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Then i think we should ask on Mate 20 Pro forum how he did it exactly and to make a thread for us, on P30 Pro forum :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
When i leave the hosts entry that funky puts in it goes to download the file from funky (i have a unlimited pass)

When i change the hosts file back to original then it tells me no internet connection.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yeah, that's odd. We surely are making something wrong. Check out what i have found on YouTube and the description, maybe it can help sort out things. Just don't use the HiSuiteConfig.xml from there, use the new one.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybrid Soldier:
I know that this isn't the right thread for ask it, but after the update now when I unlock my screen it doesn't show my 'desktop' right away, I have to slide to go there.. I'm not finding the option to unlock the screen and doesn't have to slide it...

Do you have Face Unlock? If yes, go to Security and Privacy/Face recognition/Unlock device and set it to Direct unlock.

Thank you so much! :D

BTW, I remember to read in this thread some people talking about add a second face to unlock the device, but here I only noticed to add a different looks...

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
Yes i did use the modded xml file.

In the end of the video i see the download of the older firmware from huawei servers, so how is this exactly being replaced ?

Is this the part where hstool steps in and replaces the firmware with the downloaded version from ff ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, i think that's the way this tool works, as you said above. It's somehow tricking HiSuite to use the firmware extracted in HSTool folder from C:/HSTool. I will dig more info about it on its forum (is a lot to read, thus).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
I have done it the right way i think, it is flashing now.

The tool mentioned that it replaced the firmware successfully, fingers crossed
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
:D waiting waiting waiting... F5 F5 F5 :)))
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
I did cheat a little because of the unlimited pass from funky, so it downloaded from there, but then the tool stepped in and replaced 178 with 185.

Now at 31%
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Gotcha. So the problem is when you replace the adress in host file. If it remains the one from FH it works. If not, there is no internet connection. So there has to be a workaround, somehow...

If it works and your phone has updated successfully, you can create a new thread with step by step on how you did it and maybe we will find a way not using Funky.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
Yes you need to remove all "changes" to query.hicloud.com and when doing so you will get a "no internet connection available".

Like i mentioned before when i leave the hosts entry for query.hicloud.com to funkey servers, it downloads fine

I will update this post when successful, no worries
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
ok ota updated fine!

no wipe!

That's very good news, m8. So glad it works for P30 Pro. Please create (when you have time) a new thread on How To and make a step by step guide for us. I'm sure that we will find a way to pass the no internet connection problem soon :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
I will create a post tomorrow on this !

At least i still have my moneys worth for continuing to use funky servers :D

But with the added liberty that i can flash any firmware i want from firmware finder.

Also the non wipe part is very satisfying :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
That's the spirit :)

I hope that we can use this tool without Funky Huawei servers and flash any firmware on our locked bootloader phones. It will be a dream came true after selling my unlocked bootloader P20 Pro :)))
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] joker2mbr:
I just successfully updated my P30 Pro (C605) from 168 to 185 without any wipes! So, I can also confirm the update method seems to work fine.

[MENTION=3365793]Brotuck[/MENTION] said a few posts back that he will create a new thread with a step-by-step guide, showing how the device can be updated without having to wipe everything in the process. ;)

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

I'm not a funky user. I've got the 185 firmware from firmware finder Android app (update_full_base.zip). I was just careful to select a firmware that was approved for my region before I downloaded it.

About the "hosts" Windows file: I just edited it during the process, as the tool (hstool) mentions it. During the process, the tool instructs the user to add the line ---- 127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com ----- to hosts (you have to edit it using admin rights, or it won't work), so HiSuite will actually look for the firmware on your machine. Later on the process, the toll instructs the user to change it to ------ #127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com -------- that actually comment the line out.

The first time I did the process it didn't work. Then, reading the original thread, I found out that you have to create a folder on the C drive and place all the needed files there. I originally placed all the files on another drive that I have on my machine. After I moved my files to a folder on C drive, the process worked fine! :D
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
That's really odd :(. I've followed the instructions on C Drive of my laptop, even changed internet connection, but still not working :( damn, i think i'm missing something.

The new thread : https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p30-pro/how-to/guide-how-to-ota-update-p30-pro-wipe-t3953138

I am still going to divide the guide into funkyuser/not funky user

Can you provide the sideload file and xml file you used ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] joker2mbr:
Sure. I used the xml file that [MENTION=3241487]Zanr Zij[/MENTION] created and posted here. The file is attached to his post.

I uploaded the firmware I used for my P30 Pro to Google Drive. My P30 Pro is C605, LATAM, Dual SIM. The file is "VOG-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.185 FULLOTA-MF 2019.07.10" ("update_full_base.zip"), which I've got from Firmware Finder Android App. Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iVGFcqPFplG8JMjweB2wirtaxxGHnJ4P

The MD5 for the firmware file is 5A342BE072B9055F434482F7F39912CB.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] betovanbuuren:
I've also tried this and keep getting "No internet connection" after delete the # on the hosts file...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Tried this method and got this result :(
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] betovanbuuren:
Tried that method just now, and got the below error
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] joker2mbr:
Guys,

Are you sure you're following the instructions given by hstool correcty? All the information and the changes that have to be done -manually- by the user is shown during the process. You actually have to change the hosts file *twice* during the process and I guess that is the trick that you might be missing.

The first time that hstool asks the user to modify the hosts file and save it (using admin rights, of course) it also asks to leave the editor open, as it would be used again.

At first, hstool asks the user to add the line ---- 127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com ------- to the hosts file as save it, then HiSuite will look for the firmware file on your machine, instead of the server. Then, on the next phase, hstool instructs the user to modify the same line on the hosts file to -------- #127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com ---------. Pay attention to the "#" at the beginning of the line. This is actually the same as removing the line, as it's just being commented out. After doing that, the hstool asks the user for confirmation and the process continues.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, m8. Changed them when the tool asks and of course used admin privillege when editing host files, but no results on my side. I tried with 5 different host files, 2 different xml files in different combinations and i only get 3 results : no recovery available for my phone, no internet connection available or your device is not supported :(.

I followed the video from YouTube, the guide from HSTool thread and used the files from [MENTION=2218786]JazonX[/MENTION], but still with no luck.

I will try when i get home, maybe on my home network will work (atm i'm on business travel, betwen office and hotel and used 3 different networks).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] joker2mbr:
That's really weird... What I can tell is for what I could understand, is that the xml file only has to do with the supported devices, and it was modified to include the P30 Pro on the allowed devices list. As for the Internet connection, it should only be related to what's on the host file (whether HiSuite should look for query.hicloud.com on the Internet or not).

Just a question: did you try pinging this address from the machine where you're trying to do update? When the host file is not modified, or when it has the "#" at the beginning at that line (pointing to query.hicloud.com), the address should be resolved to the IP 159.138.6.23. If the host file has the modified line actually there (without the "#"), the ping should be directed to the IP address to your won machine (127.0.0.1).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, i know that the xml file is just for adding P30 Pro, but i had to try :)

Nope, but i will try pinging when i get back to my hotel room. Hope that is the problem :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
Resolving query.hicloud.com goes to 80.158.19.121, ill try your ipnumber provided

--edit--

WTF now it works !!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] betovanbuuren:
Tried again with another network with the Original method described by [MENTION=3365793]Brotuck[/MENTION] and it worked!! doing the ping to query.hicloud.com with the # does find the 159.138.6.23 :good: :o :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] joker2mbr:
It might be a DNS problem, then... The IP I'm getting here is from Huawei Hong Kong (China) and it seems correct. The one you're getting is from Germany (T-Systems International GmbH). If that's the case you can try modifying your hosts file differently: for the first part of the process you'd have to use ---- 127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com ------ and then for the second part, ---------- 159.138.6.23 query.hicloud.com --------- so your machine would point HiSuite to the correct Huawei server.

If it's a DNS problem, maybe that's why some people can get the process to work and some others can't.

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

So it really seems to be a DNS problem. You can go ahead and ask the poster to update the process to include the IP address I indicated previously. It should solve most problems people are having, trying to update their phones! ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
I did try it multiple times now and it works like a charm ! :D
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] joker2mbr:
That's great! Maybe you could update your guide on the other thread, informing how the users can modify their host file with Huawei IP address. This way the update method should work for a lot more people, even when there are DNS servers problems.

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] noohoggin1:
An update (no pun intended har har):

I have the C605 VOG-L29 (unlocked) and was stuck on .109 firmware, and it would even say that it was "up to date." Frustratingly, it was through the phone's updater, and also on Windows HiSuite app. Now keep in mind, I didn't have a SIM card inside--I was just using it purely on wi-fi, and using it concurrently with my Galaxy Note 8 while I test the P30 Pro's camera. I'm based in the U.S.A., and am with the carrier AT&T. Having taken a few trips to Vietnam, I remembered I had a spare Vietnam SIM card lying around somewhere. So I found it, put it in the P30 Pro, and hit the search for an update. Sure enough, .124 popped up and I was happy as a clam, and updated my phone.

Now since I put in my Vietnam SIM card in FIRST, I can't really tell if I would have gotten the update notification had I simply swapped my USA AT&T SIM card in first (probably the logical thing although I was under the assumption from various threads that it didn't matter).

Hope my experience is at least helpful to someone...

There's something unusual happening with this new .185 update - I'm also getting faster battery drain and I've never noticed this since the days of .124.

I've just tried a cache wipe in recovery mode, as well as going as far as re-installing some of my most power hungry apps but it hasn't helped yet. I'll keep watching the battery to see how it behaves but I suspect a lot of undocumented changes must have been behind this huge 4.1GB update.
