Hello guys. I got my hands on a P30 pro 8/128 (VOG-AL00) from a friend. It is full of chinese bloatware.

The device currently runs 9.1.0.226

I have followed all the instructions to the letter but it says that update failed.

Can I have some extra help please?

Now i got the device not supported error.

I believe there is something messed up with the XML file. Can someone point me to the correct XML for P30 PRO VOG-AL00?

I remember the days where you bought a phone and that was that, no updates, no new features, no-one measured SoT or battery life, you just stuck it in your pocket and forgot about it :D

And they all had AOD, In fact you could not turn off the displays
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hehehe, i remember those days too, yeah. And Symbian was the best mobile software with various apps and good nokia phones (N95 was a beast, N8 the same)... Now with Android all is different, everybody wants updates updates updates and forgot why they bought the device for....

I am returning with some interesting remarks.

Hisuite version 9.0.2.304 no longer updates from Huawei server. It says something about installation tampered and need to redownload and stuff.

Anyways...I see on Huawei site that New HiSuite is online version 10.0.0.0.510 and tried to download it.

It installs fine but after I replace XML file it says my device is not supported.

Any ideas?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Keep the folder where you replaced the xml open and try again. Because HiSuite it's not patched or mooded, it connects to Huawei servers and replace file. But if you replace after HiSuite replaced it, it will enter recovery for your device ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] greekfragma:
This file says L09 and L29.

Mine is L00 and is not on the list on HiSuite Window dialog
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Then edit the xml file by replacing L09 to L00 in the places you found it, save xml and replace it to HiSuite folder then try again.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] greekfragma:
Nope...Still not working.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Then it means that somehow Huawei stopped from their servers recovery for all P30 models. I've tested earlier on a buddy's VOG-L29 to recover using HiSuite v10 (latest downloaded from Huawei) and it failed after decompressing downloaded firmware.

So it seems that we're stucked again, waintin' for more tests to figure it out.

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
You won't be able to flash European firmware over Chinese firmware. In order to change your CUST from VOG-AL00 to VOG-L29 so you can flash C432 firmware you'll have to unlock bootloader (which isn't avaiable for P30/P30 Pro), root device and rebrand your phone.

Note that rebranding (changing the region from Chinese to International) is not available at present. Bootloader codes are also currently not available so i don't know any other method for you to flash European firmware.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] greekfragma:
So you say that there is no hope with this device?

Will there be any chance when Android 10 releases? :(
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Unless you can unlock the bootloader, no, you can't rebrand it. Don't know if Funky Huawei or guys from Halabtech have some other PAID method for rebranding VOG-AL00, but if they don't have, then you're stuck with what you have atm, a chinese version of the device/firmware.

Anyway, you can allways use ADB to uninstall/remove bloatware and unwanted programs from your device. If you need guidance for ADB or any help on how to, please check my post from here - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80810377&postcount=6.

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

No, atm there is no EMUI 10 or firmware v224 to use as dload. Only OTA or forced eRecovery method (turn off your phone/press Volume + and connect your wall charger/when in eRecovey choose Download latest firmware and recovery/connect to your WiFi/your firmware should start downloading; if it's v224, let it download and install, it will automatically restart to system without wipping your data).

Hey friend.

I have a P30 dual Sim but the carrier has the second sim locked out. If I flash a dual Sim Full Ota will this bring back the second sim slot. Thanks
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi there,

Usually, the dload firmware it's available before the OTA, but since it's about an version upgrade (from Android 9.1 to Android 10) it takes some time untill the stable version it's released. I can't tell you when, but for sure it will be sometime in December, after they release the final version to all. I'll keep posting any info on this thread.

Funky Huawei haven't released something new in a whille, maybe Huawei changed something on their servers security so they can't acces it as easy as before :).

Cheers,

SilviuO

---------- Post added at 13:31 ---------- Previous post was at 13:28 ----------

If you flash any firmware version, it should have no problem for the second SIM. Usually, it's unlocked, i didn't hear about locking the second SIM on any carrier. As i know, in Europe they can't do that thing, all they can do it's brand your firmware with carrier bloatware and settings. Where are you from? Did you try with a secondary SIM in slot? The same provider or any other provider from your country?

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gersrt:
Yes already tried a second sim. It's just not seen. It was advertised as a dual Sim but it's not seeing the second sim. I'm on Three Ireland. I read somewhere that they put a single sim firmware on it, so was wondering if I flashed a clean non carrier duel sim rom would it make a difference.

By the way I'm using P30 Lite mar lx1a

Thanks
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
You should try flashing this firmware using dload method. Please backup before because this method WILL ERASE your data and internal storage.

I am getting "No Internet connection" error. I made sure I am on the right version of HiSuite, I have patched , confirm the right xml is on the place and edited the host file as asked.

Also, a little help is needed. I am just trying to get back to stock afte flashing LGPR2 global from FH. I am pretty confident this broke OTA updates for me and now e-Recovery shows "get info pacjage error" and Hisuite says my device is no elegible for recovey.

My best bet is v227 from FF (which is the latest FW available for my region) in order to get things back.

Thanks in advance.

Hi m8,

The method from this thread is not working anymore for flashing firmwares, only for recovering softbricked devices. For more info, check my post from here.

Cheers,

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lprell:
My mistake. Did not follow the entire thread before posting as I am loosing hope to back my VOG-L29 back to stock.

Problem is we were stuck with July update until recently here in my region so I used FH to flash the global VOG-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.193 (was the latest when I flashed). Meantime Huawei have been updating this device here in my region and also global versions are up too. None of them make it through OTA for me, so I am confident the process just broke future OTA updates. That said, my goal is to get back to stock ROM but so far no luck. My CUST is C605 and it did not change when flashed with FH.

Things I have tried: e-Recovery = getting info package error / Hisuite whithout FH = device not elegible to recovery / checking for updates on phone or HiSuite = latest version - never updates.

Any tip?

Sorry if some words are incorrectly written. Need some sleep in here :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

As a suggestion for you, i would use the dload method to flash an older firmware and then see if it's getting any OTA (it should work if the FF firmware didn't change anything on the phone partition).

1. dload method explained here - https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p30-pro/how-to/tutorial-vog-l29-flash-firmware-153-usb-t3928793

2. older firmware for VOG-L29: FLASH THIS FIRST -> VOG-L29 HW LA HLRCF VOGUE-L04D 9.1.0.168(C605E4R1P5) - https://androidhost.ru/Vnf

IF IT'S NOT GETTING OTA , THEN FLASH THIS ONE - VOG-L29 HW LA VOGUE-L29D 9.1.0.185(C605E4R1P5) - https://androidhost.ru/2BE6

Also, when you are on any of this 2 firmwares from above, you can try the eRecovery method to force update latest version available for your device (also see if it gives your e-Recovery = getting info package error).

Goodluck,

SilviuO

Do you know if I can turn on OTA on my p30 pro? It's a demo model. I paid 70e someone on ebay for flashing a firmware for use it everyday. It's work perfectly but I can't update with ota
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

For demo devices OTA is broken. The only free way is to try flash using dload method (the one mentioned by me earlier). What CUST your device is? Maybe i can help you with an newer firmware version for your device.

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lprell:
Turns out I had an OTG cable that came with my Pixel 4 XL.

First test with older ROM v168. Flashed ok, Safenet ok. Instantly received that small settings update that asks for restart. Checking for updates on the phone and HiSuite says i am on the latest version, sadly :( and checking the version number for changelog it sayd "no info" . As an improvement, e-Recovey now downloads ok, but it just downloads the same v168 ROM.

Now downloading the newer rom.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Ok. After installing v185, you can install using the same method the firmware for C432 (european version which can be flashed on your device too, as said here) and then check again for update through HiSuite/OTA or eRecovey.

VOG-L29 HW EU VOGUE-L29C 9.1.0.193(C432E4R2P2) - https://androidhost.ru/1LH3

Later Edit: If it's not modifying your CUST, it 's good. My guess is that FF surrely modified your phone. Maybe flashing these ones will help you at least with eRecovery or HiSuite.

I'm c432 and . 185 friend
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lprell:
Second ROM v185 same results as before, except now e-Recovery wants to download v168. Should I try the third ROM or if I download v168 from e-Recovey it is guarantee is the official one and I can start from it?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Try with v193 and then eRecovery to see if it's getting something new. If it doesn't work, then it means that :

1. your CUST was affected by flashing FF firmware

2. your device didn't received any update since 168 (which is odd, but as you said, it's downloading through eRecovery, which downloads latest firmware OFFICIAL available)

3. you can stay on v193 untill a dload firmware with EMUI 10 will be available (at least with v193 your device is OK and has HUAWEI OFFICIAL firmware)

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Use this firmware to upgrade to v193, it's the latest available for dload method. After that, you can try with eRecovery (check info on how on my attached SS below) or with HiSuite (PC version from here - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80818239&postcount=1803), maybe you will jump to v224 (latest available for retail C432). If not, you'll have to wait for a dload method for C432, which i will post it when it will be available.

1. dload method explained here - https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p30-pro/how-to/tutorial-vog-l29-flash-firmware-153-usb-t3928793

2. latest C432 firmware available for dload method - VOG-L29 HW EU VOGUE-L29C 9.1.0.193(C432E4R2P2) - https://androidhost.ru/1LH3

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lprell:
Yeah. FunkyHuawei seems to have messed up with my CUST even though they claim they keep stock cust.

Tried all 3 firmwares and no OTA for none of them unfortunately. E-Recovery points to v168 on all roms but I am pretty sure I was on v185 before using FunkyHuawei. HiSuite says I'm on the latest version for all 3 roms and trying to restore from HiSuite gives me "device not compatible to recovery".

So, yeah, I pretty much bricked the phone.

Anyway thanks a lot for your patience and support man!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I'm sry i couldn't helped you more. Now yow know for sure that you have to do:

1. If you have credits, flash latest firmware available on their site and so on for the future updates from Huawei

2. Stay on v193 you flashed latest and wait for another dload firmware release

3. Try at Huawei Service Center, maybe they can help you and chenge your motherboard (think you'll have to pay if you explain what happened)

4. Stay on latest available for your device (wouldn't recommand that)

Goodluck,

Do you know if there is a better firmware for my ELE-L09 (C431)? Like some Global firmware? (Or is ELE already Global?)

Just wondering if switching would free me from carrier updates and get them direct from Huawei instead?

EDIT - I see these models, are they all compatible?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi,

The latest european firmware to flash using dload method available for ELE-L09/L29 is ELE-L29 HW EU ELLE-L29B 9.1.0.193(C432E4R2P2) - https://androidhost.ru/2BHx. This version is the global one, without any customization from any provider. My advice for you is to remove your SIM, reset your device (before backing up your data, obviously:silly:) then flash this version. After flashing is complete and you're in the welcome screen, enter eRecovery (the one with phone OFF, connected wall charger and Volume + pressed simultaneously) to check for new firmware. Download the latest available and after restart you can set up your phone and put back your SIM. After that, you'll be prompted with an carrier update (which will give you the carrier settings and apps - apps that can be removed). The advantage of flashing this way is that you have for base firmware an global one and not a carrier one. You will still receive OTA's followed by the carrier updates.

Hope i helped you with my little explanation :D

LATER EDIT:

ELE-L09 - Single SIM ( you can't flash firmware from L09 to L29)

ELE-L29 - Dual SIM ( firmware can be flashed on single SIM, too and is the most updated firmware version)

ELE-L04 - Can be flashed on both, but has less updates

Thanks! Great guide, appreciate it, will the dload folder on internal storage work to flash this?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
NO, it will not work. You need an OTG cable & a USB drive (USB stick) or Huawei NM card.

Instructions:

THIS METHOD WILL WIPE CLEAN YOUR DEVICE!!! DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR STUFFS BEFORE!!

1 - Upgrade with USB-OTG

- an OTG cable and an USB drive (8GB at least) formatted as ExFat (also you can use an USB drive + USB C adapter like the ones from Samsung);

Open the Zip and extract the dload folder on the pendrive

- Turn off the phone

- Connect the pendrive with the OTG cable (or the Samsung adapter with the USB drive)

- Now press the three buttons at the same time.

- Volume +

- Volume -

- Power button. Your phone will light up and vibrate, keep the buttons pressed and only when you see the blank screen and EMUI appears you will release the buttons. The flashing will start and lasts about 3-4 minutes. After flashing your phone will restart automatically.

2. Upgrade with Huawei NM Card

- extract the dload folder to the Nm card, then turn off your phone.

- press the three buttons at the same time.

- Volume +

- Volume -

- Power button.

Your phone will light up and vibrate, keep the buttons pressed and only when you see the blank screen and EMUI appears you will release the buttons. The flashing will start and lasts about 3-4 minutes. After flashing your phone will restart automatically.

Or you can get an Samsung USB type C to USB adapter like this, which is more usable than a cable :D.

:D I have one of those but has a MicroUSB end rather than USB-C

I do have a USB female to USB female cable I made myself a while ago, is there anything special in these adapters? I could possibly use my charger USB-C cable > USB(f) > USB(f) > Flash drive?

EDIT - Although they all connect up fine, there is no life in the flash drive, no LED, so I guess my DIY cable is not wired correctly

Hi m8,

I can't see the link, but i've checked the site. The versions available on their links are the FULL OTA's zips downloaded from Firmware Finder. That ones can't be flashed on our devices, because the previous method it's not working anymore. The only one that i advise you to flash atm it's the one that i linked you in previous post, v193 for C432. After installing that, you can try using eRecovery and see if for your device v224 is available. If not, wait for the dload EMUI 10 version to be available.
