[MENTION=5482623]SLVMSF[/MENTION] In case having trouble to passing safetynet, do you have or can you upload VOG-L29 9.1.0.153(C605), VOGUE-L29D 9.1.0.153(C605E4R1P5) firmware ?

Thanks in Advance
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
If your firmware is not yet released for your phone and you upgrade using dload method to v161, you can downgrade to v153 using erecovery method (power off the phone, then pressing the volumeUP button insert the power cord. Keep the button pressed until you enter the erecovery menu, where you select WI-FI network and once it connects to the server, it will automatically start downloading your official firmware. After downgrade, a reset is required). Unfortunately, you can't downgrade to a previous firmware using dload method. The only one method is through erecovery or HiSuite (last one if your firmware is available official and you choose downgrade).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Just in case you need, here you have VOGUE-L29D 9.1.0.153(C605E4R1P5), version for dload folder.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LucasMiyata:
I cant download the 168 version release today to VOG-L29. Can someone help? If I manage to download the file, can I use the OTG method to update my phone or do I need to do something before it?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8. Where did you find v168?

---------- Post added at 20:43 ---------- Previous post was at 20:37 ----------

@LucasMiyata, your CUST device is VOG-L29 9.1.0.168(C605E4R1P5)?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LucasMiyata:
Hi, I was able to download it now. I cant post links because I just created the account and need to have 10 replies apparently hahaha. I found the link in the support halabtech site (the path is DOWNLOAD -> FIRMWARE -> HUAWEI -> HUAWEI FIRMWARE -> V-SERIES -> VOG-L29). I wanted to update my phone but I dont want to do something wrong and mess it up. :eek:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Gotcha. So your CUST is the one i mentioned earlier? If yes, than you can use the file you downloaded from HalabTech to update your device. But be aware that flashing it will erase all data on your phone

And don't forget to follow the instruction in the OP so you make you're update installation succesfully.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LucasMiyata:
Forgot to answer the last question. My device is:

Model: VOG-L29

Build Number: 9.1.0.153(C605E4R1P5)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Ok, sry, my bad :). I posted the build from Halabtech, but important is that you're good to go, m8. Happy flashing (don't forget to backup your data before upgrading).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LucasMiyata:
Great! I will try to update it then. One last question, is there any official tool to backup the phone and recover it completely after the update?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, you can backup your data using HiSuite
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LucasMiyata:
Thank you very much!! I will come back later to tell If It worked
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
With pleasure, m8. Happy to help you. Good luck backing up/upgrading ?

I was in the 153 version of my P30PRO and I was hoping to update the 161 with the camera improvements, but yesterday I got the 168 with the security patches of June, does it mean that I skipped the 161? What can I do ahors? :confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
What is your CUST? I think that VOG-L29 C605 skipped v161 :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LucasMiyata:
Hi, just passing by to say ir worked. Version 168 installed and running. Thank you!!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fulltrance:
Yes it is!! Does it mean that I'm out of update? or will it come later?:confused::(

thank you!!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
With pleasure. I hope the next update for the C605 will also bring the camera improvements that came in v161 for C431 :)

Bdw, my camera version number is 9.1.0.309
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Moh87Civil:
Hi,

C185 here, skipped 161 directly to 168, can I downgrade to 161 using dload files from these links ?

Thanks
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Sry m8, don't know if you can, because is an lower version than yours. You can try downgrade using HiSuite and also check out this thread, maybe someone has some answers
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fulltrance:
Muy camera versión is 9.1.0.306
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Then is obviously that your camera version&libs wasn't updated. Hope that Huawei release an update for C605 users to bring the new camera updates.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Moh87Civil:
I will try thanks.

How about upgrading to .176 downloaded from FF (UPDATE.APP put in dload folder) ? or only the one downloaded from HalabTech or your links can work with dload?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
The firmware from FF (update_full_base.zip) can be flashed only if you have bootloader unlocked and root. Can't be used for dload, unfortunatelly. Only the one from Halabtech & my links can be used in dload folder.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kibrisli.ilhan:
İs it possible to flash 9.1.0.161 rom to downgrade from9.1.0.168, my device is P30 Pro VOG - L29. C185E4R1P5
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Try downgrading with HiSuite. I don't think it will downgrade using dload, because of different build number (168 is newer than 161)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kibrisli.ilhan:
What happens if i try to downgrade with dload, is there any risk about completly losing the device, or it will warn me that firmware is not compatible?

All i want is the newest camera improvements that 9.1.0.161 includes.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I've tried downgrading on VOG-L29C431 from firmware v153 to v124 using dload method (by USB-OTG) and after ~4-5 minutes and 5% i've got this message : Software install failed! Get help from - and it was an adress with emui.com.... -, and then the phone restarted itself.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Moh87Civil:
When I check 161 in FF it tells me that the update is approved for my device (I wonder why didn't Huawei push it for our models!). Anyway does it mean that I can downgrade my device using DNS change method or any other method you suggest without Bootloader unlock ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
You can try or with HiSuite or with FF using DNS and erecovery.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kibrisli.ilhan:

BACKUP YOUR PHONE BEFORE, IT ERASE ALL YOUR DATA!!!!!

1- Find your right firmware and download.

https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=45038

2-create a folder called dload in a usb formated ntfs and put 3 zip files downloaded in a dload folder, don't extract.

3- conect usb to a otg cable

4-turn off phone, conect otg cable, hold power + volume up, when you see first screen, release power button but hold volume up.

5- if you did correctly, the phone start update, you can release volume up.

VOG-L29C 9.1.0.178 (C432E4R2P2) for dload

Hi guys :highfive:

Thought that i'd make you happy for this evening / day in some parts of the world, so here you have MEGA link for ''VOG-L29C 9.1.0.178(C432E4R2P2)_hw_eu'' for install as dload method. It can be used for VOG-L29 C431 to, as i used it and it's installing without changing your CUST. Remember that this procedure makes a full wipe and will erase all your internal memory, so it is essential to make a Backup using HiSuite.

Screenshot with the changelong or link for it here.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] jkrc717:
I haven't decided between the standard edition or forbidden city. Leaning more towards standard because 10gb ram isn't needed and the mythical Lion looking picture isn't worth the few extra hundred. As far as I know, those are the only differences.

However, I do want 8GB Ram. Preferably 256gb storage. Preferably the blue color.

I'm not a tech guy.

Question A: Does anyone know where I can buy it? I found it on ebay, but only the black is available with the specs I want. Shipping also seems to take rather long. I would prefer to get the Mi Mix 3 5g for the better processor. But as far as I know doesn't have 8gb ram so i might pass on it.

Question B: Is it safe to buy the 8gb/256gb global "rom" version? Will it perform just as well? Will i have google play(with apps/games performing normally)? And will it get updates? Will I have to do anything?

Question C: From what I understand, any version of the Mi Mix 3 or Forbidden city will work with all the needed T-Mobile bands. Will it work with all the needed AT&T bands? Again, will I have to do anything?

I really appreciate this. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
If you're going to run the stock MIUI, then you need the global version. However, if you're going to flash it, there seem to be some advantages with the Chinese firmware, which is able to run the currently-available non-gsi roms without any problems. 6gb/8gb, I wouldn't sweat it over, but if I remember correctly, the 6gb versions have a couple of bands missing, which may or may not make a difference, depending on which carrier you're on. AFAIK, there's no 8gb global version. If you want it fast, the best place to source it is probably either Canada or the UK. If you get the 8gb Chinese version, you'll need to become a tech guy to make it useable. Assuming you buy the global device, you should get the updates without a problem.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] jkrc717:
On Ebay there's the black one 8gb 256gb and the blue one 8gb 128gb. It says "Unlocked (Global Rom)". Would I be ok? I know I can ask the ebay seller, but i don't trust them.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
Double check, but I don't think the phone was sold by Xiaomi with 8gb and a global rom. Unlocked may be the clue, it may be a Chinese device with the global rom flashed. Having run MIUI, eu-MIUI, and vanilla Android on this hardware, the best option appears to be the Chinese firmware anyway, but only if you're willing to flash. The Pixel Experience rom runs fantastically well on mine, giving the perfect combination for me of stupendous hardware and clean, fast software.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] jkrc717:
Do you know where I can buy it at a good reputable company? I'm not a tech guy, but I guess I can follow some instructions and flash it.

However, If the global rom is already flashed then wouldn't that mean I'm good to go? Basically as if I bought the global version without me having to do anything? And get regular updates?

I honestly don't care. I want the original OS global or chinese. As long as I can set the language to english, it works flawless with my carrier, has google play and I can get and run all the apps perfectly. Like an other android phone.
