[MENTION=4369943]*Detection*[/MENTION], thanks for your time and really appreciate your hosts/ip's help.

Unfortunatelly, i've tried every single possible combination of host and server, but without any luck. It won't work neither on query.hicloud.com / hispaceclt.hicloud.com / hispace.hicloud.com / push.hicloud.com / update.hicloud.com. The others didn't ping correctly and had package lose. I think the right one is still query.hicloud.com, but somehow Huawei managed to close the loop on us (the method used for Mate 20 Pro with hstoll is using entry #127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com, which is still functionall, guys from here are still flashing OTA-s).

It seems to me that we'll have to find a way to skip or trick HiSuite somehow to use files from our offline OTA-s and not from Huawei servers. Untill then, we can't use this method anymore, sadly :(.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Ah well, was worth a try, I see some host names associated with the IP of query.hicloud.com have the country name after "update"

ie:

update-america.huaweidevice.com

update-asia.huaweidevice.com

update-india.huaweidevice.com

The IP (80.158.19.121) for query.hicloud.com resolves to a German host weirdly (ecs-80-158-19-121.reverse.open-telekom-cloud.com)

Strange they would shut the door on the P30 but leave it open for other devices, but this is XDA, someone will find a way :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yeah, that really odd, but hey, just like you said, this is XDA and maybe we will find a way.

I think that if the developer of HSTool is still on a Huawei device (Mate 20 Pro) we might ask him for guidance on resolving the host matter. It's worth to try :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Don't know if you've seen this host yet,

grs.dbankcloud.com

I run PiHole DNS adblocker on my network which also logs all DNS requests, this was one of them when I ran software update on the phone

Google doesn't help much
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Thanks, i will try later. I checked on-line for ping and that's what i got (check my SS bellow).

I will post my tests later, after i'll have acces to my laptop.

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Tested with these ones and here are the results:

80.158.20.103 query.hicloud.com - NO INTERNET CONNECTION

159.138.91.51 query.hicloud.com - NO RECOVERY PACKAGE AVAILABLE (xml file is ok, is the good one)

159.138.6.23 query.hicloud.com - NO INTERNET CONNECTION

80.158.20.103 grs.dbankcloud.com - NO INTERNET CONNECTION

159.138.91.51 grs.dbankcloud.com - NO INTERNET CONNECTION

159.138.6.23 grs.dbankcloud.com - NO INTERNET CONNECTION

The old entry that was working was 159.138.6.23 query.hicloud.com. The new one that passed the NO internet connection and gave NO recovery package for your device (even if the correct xml file was in place) is 159.138.91.51 query.hicloud.com. I will test it again using VPN's, maybe we'll get something moving arround here :confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Looks a bit more hopeful, I'm still playing with PiHole and DNS requests too but that looks like it might point us in the right direction if it is actually allowing hisuite to check the device firmware version against a server list
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
fingers crossed, maybe we get it passed :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Well after a few hours checking and double checking, software update always requests the same DNS (query.hicloud.com) and gets replies from the same IP each time (80.158.19.121)

Sep 18 20:10:04 dnsmasq[9233]: query[A] query.hicloud.com from 192.168.1.111

Sep 18 20:10:04 dnsmasq[9233]: forwarded query.hicloud.com to 1.1.1.1

Sep 18 20:10:04 dnsmasq[9233]: validation result is INSECURE

Sep 18 20:10:04 dnsmasq[9233]: reply query.hicloud.com is 80.158.19.121

Although this is only the DNS, actual server IP could be different
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Just tested (check my SS), it seems you're right. We need to find the matchinng server IP.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Yep, maybe if we had a normal (non modded) hisuite, and managed to get it to update a P30 legitimately, we could use that fiddler web proxy program to capture the host/IP of the full firmware download server, if OTA is hosted on the same server as Full firmwares that could be one method

That link you gave with the guys still managing to download for the P20 uses update.hicloud.com:8180, which has the IP (211.152.136.44) for the direct full firmware downloads, really would have expected the same Server/Host for all devices

Maybe the 8180 port is the key for us?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] joker96:
can this be used to change region? flash a fw from another country?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Sadly, no, it isn't. I started from scratch, removed HiSuite and everything related. Installed v301 from FH site, patched dll and copied xml then tried several host and IP's, but still with no luck. Last info you gave it to me points to a no internet connection too.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I'm just curios from what server/IP is downloading the firmware that it's used for eRecovery? This method is used to force update the device (if the update is available in cloud and approved) or to recovery your latest version if you softbricked your device.... (info in SS below)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Would need your WiFi/Router running through some sort of logger to capture it, I run DD-WRT on my router but not sure it can log that, will have a look in the morning

Other option would be to create a WiFi hotspot using a PC and WiFi dongle, connect the phone to that and run Wireshark or Fiddler on PC while you download from eRecovery to capture it

Or maybe a logcat via ADB would work via USB cable > PC
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Interesting thing I just found today, seems Huawei are using a service to hide their IPs

My PiHole setup captured this DNS request

dsa-sslv6.hispace.hicloud.com.edgekey.net

When Googling edgekey.net I found this

https://blog.kloud.com.au/2017/05/01/akamai-cloud-based-dns-black-magic/

www.anydomain.com.edgekey.net resolve to a spoof IP address hosted by Akamai DNS server

The original IP address of www.anydomain.com is never resolved by Akamai DNS server or the ISP hosting the www.anydomain.com

Essentially their service prevents people like us from finding out the original IP, which is probably why we are stuck with "No internet connection" with all those IPs you've tested
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
So, we're f****d up :). I thought that they have done something with their adress.

Well, it now seems that our only hope would be that someone from inside Huawei share with xda the ip (:p) or Huawei will allow unlocking bootloader again for all their devices (as it seems they might do with the Mate 30 Pro, as TK Bay mentioned here)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
I have a feeling the Mate 30 Pro bootloader unlock is due to Google services not being installed, otherwise they are closing the door on sales to people who want Google play etc, P30/Pro already has Google services so unlikely to get it unlocked (If that is the reason)

And now a new flagship has arrived, P30 will likely get even less attention by anyone who might have the skills to fix this problem for us

But, never say never :)

P30 Pro from China

Hi,

I have a P30 Pro from China with all the Chinese software on it without Play Store. Does anyone maybe know or it's possible to flash it to a normal global firmware? I've included a screenshot of the device specs. I would like to use it here in Europe without the Chinese software. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Don't think you can, I read someone ask this before and the answer was no

Hmm that sucks, thanks for your reply. The best option is to install play store and remove all the other apps I think. Strangely I can't even find Play Store in the App Gallery.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
You would need to get it from apkmirror.com

Not sure if you have Google services installed either, if it is the same story as the Mate 30 pro, then you'll need to follow a guide on how to get Google services installed

Hi,

Firmware Finder:

Useful or not?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8, nope, those are not ok, we need 3 zip files, just like the files used for dload method (firmware, cust and preload). We need those toghether because EMUI 10 is more than software update, it updates the themes, preinstalled apps and more system settings. Those files are needed on OTA only when updating from a different Android version (in our case from 9.1 to 10). As i mentioned before, after we all receive official OTA upgrade from 9.1. to 10, those 2 zips won't be necessary for further updates ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] betovanbuuren:

OTA 3 zips for EMUI 10 BETA

Thanks to [MENTION=6242724]jeroenraven12[/MENTION], i've managed to get the OTA download links for EMUI BETA for C431 CUST. I will download and try to use the method i've described earlier and post feedback.

To use these files (CUST&PRELOAD) you must REPLACE THEM (after 100% firmware recovery downloaded) in C\Documents\HiSuite\ROM as so:

1. VOG-L29-CUST 9.1.0.4(C431) - Use the one downloaded from CUST C431

2. VOG-L29-PRELOAD 9.1.0.2(C431R2) - Use the one downloaded from PRELOAD C431

C431 EMUI 10 BETA v125

1. OTA FULL - http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G4705/g1755/v305331/f1//full//update_full_base.zip

2. CUST C431 - http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data.../f1/full//update_full_cust_VOG-L29_hw_eea.zip

3. PRELOAD C431 - http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data...ll//update_full_preload_VOG-L29_hw_eea_R2.zip

If you're talking about the firmware that i mentioned earlier v216, YES, it's for P30 (ELE-L09/L29). Just download it from FF (full OTA) and use it with HSTool following my guide from here (i managed to update to v193 from v185 - i downgraded using dload method -).

If you're talking about EMUI 10 BETA, NO, you can't use that firmware version (you'll need someone who's in beta to give you the download links like few posts up)

Ok, here you have the xml which contains P30 ( ELE). Try again using that xml. If it's still not working, change ELE-L29 with ELE-L09 in xml file.

:) it won't work, because of the Recovery. It seems that the recovery is written before the update itself and that allows us to update incremential (from Android 9.1 to 10). ATM, all we can do is flash firmwares on 9.1 (if they give us another one before EMUI 10).

AFTER the Official Update, WE can use this method to flash firmwares while we are on Android 10.

So Hisuite is sending info about my installed programs to it's servers?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jbaggs:
Hi

First off apologies for popping up all over XDA with this but i'm determined to sort it.

Basically i used a method like this along funkyhuawei a few months back and it would seem like I've rebranded my Mate 20 X AL00 to L29, all without unlocking the bootloader. I would like to be back on the AL00 build to get frequent OTA updates and perhaps at some point try the EMUI 10 beta.

So far Hisuite throws me the usual no update package found error. I'm currently on L29 9.0.0.200. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get back to AL00 or even help understand how I manged to successfully rebrand without unlocking my bootloader. What would i need to add to the xml file if my model states Al00 but my build is L29?

Also on firmware finder if i'm looking to download the full software what's the difference between EVR-AL00-CUST, EVR-LGRP2 & EVR-LGRP1? When I click on the EVR-AL00 to download it, it says DEMO in the title. That doesn't mean it's the software for a demo unit does?

Any help or thoughts appreciated
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
1. The best people who can answer you about rebranding are the guys from Funky Huawei (you'd better send them an e-mail regardless your demand).

2. If you're CUST version is now EVR-L29 C432, on Firmware Finder you should choose firmware that has EVR-LGRP2 mention and try to flash it using HSTool method and maybe asking this guy how he done it.

3. If you want to remain on C432 and not revert back to ALOO, you can force the update:

- by using dload method and this file for start;

OR

- using the eRecovery method as described above:

To reboot into eRecovery follow this:

1. Turn off the phone

2. Insert the power cable and hold down the VOLUME+ button

3. After turning on, you can release it

4. When you're in the eRecovery menu, click on ''Download latest version and recovery" and connect to your Wi-Fi

5. Now it should start your firmware download and update.

6. THIS METHOD DOES NOT WIPE YOUR DATA FROM PHONE.

Cheers,

SilviuO
