Thank you so much for the reply, really apprciate it! First off my main goal is to get back to AL00. FunkyHuawei have ignored me. It's strange because they mention on their site that to rebrand you need to have bootloader unlocked and mine 100% is not so I'm not sure how i managed it.

Erecovery gives me an error. My CUST version seems to be C636, I have attached a screenshot. I can try HStool method as I have yet to try with the updated host file from the OP. I can't work out what firmware I'd need from FF if I wanted to revert to AL00. Also does it matter if the firmware is newer or older than the current one I'm on?

Thanks again
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
They are right, you'll have to get unlocked bootloader to reverse the rebrand. I think that somehow when you used their paid services to upgrade your firmware or rebrand something that didn't suppose to happen normally happened and changed your cust number.

I'm affraid that flashing back an AL00 firmware version is not enough to change your cust, but you can try to use Recovery option from HiSuite PC version, maybe it will work:rolleyes:.

If you want to use FF firmwares, for C636 cust you should use EVR-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.321 build number 298354.

If you wanna try flashing AL00 you should use EVR-LGRP1-CHN 9.1.0.135 build number 300102.

Cheers,

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jbaggs:
Again appreciate the response. Still getting nowhere. I'm convinced it must possible. Reading a post on here not long ago Funkyhuawei provided a way of doing it without unlocking the bootloader this is from the FAQs

"I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?

A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on recent Huawei phones (Sorry EMUI 8.1 phones not yet supported. Coming soon), to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked."

Anyway my search continues. What actually IS the difference between AL00 and L29? I still can't get my head around it.

Regards
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Good to know about FF, maybe it will work eventually :)

Beside Google Pay and LTE band differences, you can watch this guy's video and the comments on his video, maybe that it's helpfull :)

Is this method still working?

Just wanted to check whether you made any progress with EMUI 10.

Cheers!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

It's working only on EMUI 9.1. It won't flash incremental because is failling on flashing recovery.

I must do some tests when open beta for VOG will start and be able to upgrade my phone using official OTA. I'm 80% sure that flashing EMUI 10 firmwares while beeing on EMUI 10 using this method posted few pages will work :).

Cheers,

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
Thanks a ton for the response!

So the guide in OP, with the same IP addresses still work for EMUI 9.1 Devices, yeah?

Because I remember a few pages back, few members mentioned that the guide is no longer working, Maybe Huawei has patched it...

Just wanted to confirm.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
This method is working now for VOG-L29. Check this and this and be sure to use the mooded xml that you created for P30 (ELE), if you're flashing on ELE :).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] CraigHardy:
Updated to the latest 224 firmware with this method, so thanks

EDIT - Spoke too soon, went through the whole process, 100% completed restarted after flashing and it's still on the old .193 build

Flashing unapproved firmwares is NOT WORKING anymore

Hi guys,

I've been trying to flash new firmware version, but it seems that we can't flash unapproved firmwares anymore using HSTool and Hisuite as i mentioned and on my initial post #485. After myself and some users tried to flash new firmware VOG-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.224 and failled, i've got to the conclusion that this method is usable only for flashing recovery firmware which is approved for device, so that guide is NOW WORKING only for recovering a software bricked device.

Sorry guys, but that's the thing for now and all the methods for flashing Huawei firmwares that are available atm on xda (except HSTool whitch is still working for Mate 20/Mate 20 PRO) needs that the firmware has to be approved before flashing it.

Maybe

on EMUI 10 we will be able to try something new, or someone from other devices threads (Honor or Mate 30 or maybe something new from HSTool) come in with a brilliant ideea or a java script or....

Cheers,

SilviuO

I ended up with "your device is not supported for system recovery" after decompression stage
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
The process itself it's working, but is working just by doing what it suppose to do and that is recover a softbricked device. For doing that, it will allways flash the approved firmware for that device available on Huawei's servers ;). We can't flash unapproved firmwares using this method, at least for now, untill we will find another way....

---------- Post added 17-10-2019 at 00:09 ---------- Previous post was 16-10-2019 at 23:49 ----------

Yeah, more than sure that HSTool replaced the firmware downloaded with the one provided, but HiSuite allready extracted recovery.img, vendor.img and kernel.img from v193 firmware in the new folder to be used as recovering and from there you have that message. HiSuite saw that there was a mismatch and refused connection (flash old kernel/recovery/vendor with new files from v224 firmware) and aborted recovery.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] betovanbuuren:
That's a shame, lets wait for a new method then...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Calvinx1:
It works, I´m on the same model.

It works, but there are two lines to add the way You did, but two lines in diferent places, use search in notepad to find the second
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Chucho25:
im desesperate. my p30 pro VOG L29 is briked afeter a huawei official ota. only appear the message of image.

i can enter to huawei recovery but its impossible all options. before the brick i dont enable the usb debbugin.

the otg method doesnt work, no read the pendrive (in my mate 10, works fine all otg adaptors, pendrive led blinking etc)

y try this post method several time, but always appear in hisuite "no internet conection", or "you device its incompatible for revovery.....

please help.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

im p30 pro bricked, i can use this method if before of brick, the usb debugging its disable?

thanks!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

You can try using this method, but i don't know if it will work on your phone (something is wrong with recovery), as it seems from your pic your phone has. I used it allways with USB debugging ON, but you can give it a try and test, maybe it will recover your softbricked unlocked bootloader device without the need of debugging on.

Feel free to ask if you encounter problems whille trying to recover.

Cheers,

SilviuO

Later edit:

1. What firmware version were you on when it happend?

2. Have you tried to flash using dload method firmware v193 from here (copy the dload folder from downloaded zip to USB device, shutdown your phone, connect it to your OTG device and press simultaneously all 3 buttons untill you enter recover and starts flashing.

3. If you are trying to use use recovery using HiSuite, make sure that the correct xml file is in place and that you don't have any modification to the host file.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
USB debugging should not make any difference outside of Android, it is an Android setting so if you are in eRecovery or download mode it should make no difference (As you can in theory recover a phone with no OS at all)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yeah, theoretically it should be working with the recovery method explained by me, using HiSuite. The second variant would be to use the dload method with firmware v193 and force update.

But if he was on EMUI 10, i don't know if any of that will work, because it's different than 9.1.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Chucho25:
Thanks for reply and help!

About your questions:

-The ota uptdate happen 2 weeks ago... Im not shure what versión. I guess 193, but im not shure . The corrupt update was emui 10 about 4gb. Its weird because im not subscribe in The beta program.

- try USB ota method, but doesnt works, its seems like The p30 dont start or read The pendrive. I use a thosiba pendrive 16gb, he has a tiny led indicator when its work... En my mate 10 works fine. Led blinking, read etc. But un p30 pro nothing hapens. I try with 3 diferents ota adapters.

-yes, when i recieved The phone intry White your XML file. Actually i delete The host file.

Thanks for help!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Ouch, EMUI 10 OTA... That's not good... I've been reading about some problems with recovery on the Mate 20 Pro forum - here - and it seems that the combination buttons for dload changed, BUT the bad news is that you can't use use any of the dload firmwares to downgrade to EMUI 9.1. The only way is only through HiSuite process of recovery or to wait for EMUI 10 dload version to appear.

It's strange that Huawei service center didn't helped you with this, because is not like you had unlocked bootloader or something modified on your device, it was just an OTA update failure.

You shouldn't delete the host file, only the last entries whitch points to hicloud.com (if they were any of it). If you need, i can give you my files (xml and hosts - remove .txt from hosts, as i can't upload file without extension).

My advice is to try again using HiSuite v309 as this:

1. Replace the xml file in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\HiSuite\userdata\UpdateDogDev\HiSuiteConfig.xml (leave the explorer window opened, you will need to replace the file again later, when you're in recovery on HiSuite)

2. Open HiSuite, hit Recovery, connect your device in Fastboot mode (shutdown your phone, insert the USB cable and press Volume Down while you connect the cable to your PC)

3. Before hitting Recovery, return to step 1 and make sure that the correct xml is in place (double check)

4. Hit Recovery and then HiSuite starts downloading the firmware, unpacking and flashing it. When it's done installing recovery, your phone will restart and flash the recovery firmware downloaded earlier.

Please reply if you need more help.

P30 Pro Test point

for test point flash you need an box or dongle EFT right? this tools its too expensive for me.

Sorry for answer delay....I was busy for work....

For test point u can use Huawei FlashTool idt 2.0 and Board Software for your phone.

On google you can search picture of test point to start flash board software.

For step to flash you must do following:

1)Put your phone off

2)Open your phone following YouTube guide

3) disconnect battery connector

4) Open idt flash 2.0 select firmware board closing xml file into board software folder(obviously before you need full hawed com driver installed on you systems) I suggest Windows 7.

5) Connect usb cable side phone and side pc make test point with a metallico object, and flash of board software start.

6) Reconnect battery soon after flash started

7) Wait flash cycle..

This is all...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Chucho25:

Thanks friend.... After some shots.... Still brick....:llorando:

I think that you are the Boss ;D ... I Hope after emui 10 oficial will launched, i Will can unbrick It. Now its impossible because hisuite can't downgrade my emui 10 corrupt to emui 9.

I Guess that i'll wait.....
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
When the official EMUI 10 will be launched, you will have more options to recover your softbricked phone (this method using HiSuite recovery, forced eRecovery restore - phone shutdown, VolumeUp + charging adapter connected and select Recovery then connect to Wi-Fi and download latest available firmware - or by dload method, with service firmware, OTG cable+USB device or NM card).

I will tell you more about those and will guide you then ;). Untill new firmware is relesead, you'll just have to wait :).

Unfortunaly, The OTG method doenst work for me. The NV card i dont know, i havent an NV card.... :(
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Did you do the following:

- turned off the P30 Pro

- connect the pendrive with the OTG cable

- pressed the three buttons at the same time - Volume + & Volume - & Power button untill your phone will light up and vibrate

- keep the buttons pressed & only when you see the blank screen and EMUI screen you will release the buttons and you will see the firmware updating or recovery giving you an erorr about flashing firmware.

BUT i think that this method isn't working for you if you're in EMUI 10 beta.

Google Play Store issues on Huawei P30 pro chinese VOG-AL10

Guys, I really need some help with the following.

I have a Huawei P30 pro chinese VOG-AL10 version (Emui 9.1.0). The problem is that I cannot install google play store and use any google app. I tried GMS installer but it stopped at play services, saying that a newer version is already on the phone. I read that google play store should be available from Huawei app gallery but I could not fined it although my region is set to China and I use VPN.

[MENTION=5482623]SilviuO[/MENTION] Does this method still work and what is the latest official version right now ? (P30 Pro)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi & long time no see :).

This method is working only for recovering softbricked devices (using latest HiSuite available with the mooded xml file).

The latest firmware available is v193, with August patch. Nothing new released for P30 Pro. There is a v218 on FF, but atm there is no way to flash firmwares for P30/P30 Pro.

We're waiting for some info from here, maybe he will sort it out and we'll be able to flash firmware after it gets approved.

Cheers,

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
Yes long time, like 2 months, lol

I do still have P30 Pro in our family (from my wife) and noticed that this is still at firmware .193

So i was wondering if Huawei stopped releasing firmwares somehow, or that the OTA is broken.

I do see firmware .224 available in FF, but i am assuming that we have to wait for Android 10. :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yeah, latest that we have (the ones that are not lucky enough to be in one of the countries where Huawei released EMUI 10 Beta) is v193. Don't know when they will release Android 10. Huawei stated that for P30 Pro it will be released mid November early December, but they did't mentioned the year :D.

I've seen here that one P30 (ELE-L29) user received in 2 days 2 OTA's (September and October patch).

The only thing for now is to wait an update from OTA or HiSuite :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
OTA will come only after you have selected the correct version for your region.

If you by chance selected the wrong version, you have to first flash the correct version or reset the phone with e-recovery
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 124leon124:

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
Did you edit the hosts file with the entry i mentioned in my guide ?

"7. Put the full OTA file inside the folder where HStool tool is located and start HStool and follow the instructions

BUT when it asks to put a # before the entry 127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com, change it to 159.138.6.23 query.hicloud.com"

I think you can just close hisuite and edit the host file with 159.138.6.23 query.hicloud.com and ignore all other changes mentioned with the host file
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
My opinion (if you haven't done it allready) is to start from scratch (remove HiSuite and check for no folders remains in Program Files and User; remove Funky Huawei folder too) and delete all the lines created on host files. Restart you laptop/PC and reinstall as [MENTION=3365793]Brotuck[/MENTION] posted on FP. (Install HiSuite BUT don't hit OK after finnishing the installation, just shutdown process and then proceed as posted).

Goodluck ?

---------- Post added at 23:29 ---------- Previous post was at 23:25 ----------

Or open Notepad with admin privileges and then open host from Windows /System32/drivers/etc and let the host file opened as you use HSTool.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
sometimes you will need a ipconfig /flushdns because changing the hosts file does not flush the dns.
