For VOG-L29 C431 (no matter what firmware version you're on now) download EMUI 10 v10.0.0.173 and follow my guide from my post here on how to use it on EMUI 9.1 to upgrade to EMUI 10. If you flash the VOG-L29 C431 firmware on your VOG-L29 C431 device, there is no problem with softbricking device. ONLY if you flash another cust firmware on your device you will get softbrick (ex. flashing VOG-L29 C605 cust firmware on your VOG-L29 C431 cust device will softbrick).

Download this one from my link i shared previously - VOGUE-L29C 10.0.0.173(C431E19R2P5)_Firmware_NA_EMUI10.0.0_050 15SFX

I wonder if this works still?

https://xdaforums.com/honor-view-10/how-to/how-to-capture-ota-update-url-android-t3773083

I presume the update.app method would work for a local update, or have they scrapped that?

if we can get ota files saved then it's going to save some grief.

Hello SilviuO.

If I understand.. Final release is here? :D
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Nope, local update isn't working anymore on P30/P30 Pro with HiSuite or other method. And as read on their forum, is not working for Mate 20/Mate 20 Pro/Mate 20 X too, hstool on EMUI 10 isn't working either and they are using dload firmware too :)

---------- Post added at 18:33 ---------- Previous post was at 18:28 ----------

It appear it is. If you take a look at the v10.0.0.178 changelog from posted SS, it starts with EMUI 10 is here and not with This version a pre release one...

We'll have to wait for proper info in the next days to confirm info ;) or a dload firmware with software upgrade info.

VOG-L29

C431E4R2P2

Is my Phone, which one do I use? Currently EMUI 9.1.0.240

UK - EE.

Thanks - It's the Daily Driver so need it to be right ^^

Also are OTA Updates coming over to the people in the UK with this?

Can I also add this to the Phone directly? I have no USB C Dongle or a Huawei Compatible card.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
For VOG-L29 C431 download and use the version from my post here.

Yes, OTA will be ok.

NO, you can't use the firmware from your internal memory, you need an OTG adapter or a Huawei NMcard to use dload firmware.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
Hi guys I read most of the 97 pages posted so far, I'm quite sure I can upgrade to Android 10 but I prefer a confirm before make any damage.,

I have a vog-L29 device with firmware 9.1.0.260(C431E4R2P2). I already downloaded the relative files for my device, should I proceed with the upgrade? Thanks
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Have you downloaded the latest v10.0.0.173 from here for your VOG-L29 C431?

If yes and you have your dload folder with all 3 zips inside placed on your Huawei NMCard or on your memory stick connected to your OTG adapter, then you're good to go. Just don't forget to backup, this method will wipe clean your device ;)

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
Yes I did, I only need to buy a nm card. Once I do that I'm good to go after putting inside the 3 zip files and follow the steps in the guide right? Will this make my phone no brand again? I bought the phone 4 days ago in a Vodafone store (no brand logo is visible outside or when the phone is turned on) and started it with no sim card inside, it updated many times, yesterday I put my Vodafone Italy Sim inside and it updated to I don't know what firmware customized by Vodafone.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, putting dload on NMCard and following my guide will get you an clean european firmware.

But after you'll set up your phone and connects to the internet, it will download some updates (4-5 apps and VOLTE settings + APN) from Vodafone and get your device Vodafone branded (but with your european firmware, it will not alter it and those apps you can remove). This will happen everytime you insert your Vodafone SIM in your phone. If you insert other carrier SIM, your phone will remain unbranded (no Vodafone branding).

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
Ok, but this Vodafone branding does not affects the release of updates or other stuff for me? Ps after updating will I have Ota available? Thanks so much for your help
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
No, you will still get OTA updates, no problem. Or if the dload firmware is available before OTA and you're ok to flash it (despite wipe cleaning your device vs OTA which doesn't wipe) you can use it again :).

Glad to help you, m8 ?

On EMUI 9.1 you can see the photos in gallery? Maybe is a bug on EMUI 10 for ELE devices (i can see all photos, no problem) or yours from initiall flashing. Maybe you should downgrade and re-upgrade to EMUI 10 :confused:...

Thanks

Hi m8,

This is the link for VOG-L29 C605 and install method. Use it ONLY if your cust is VOG-L29 C605, otherwise it will SOFTBRICK your device ;)

#791
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
Hi guyz, so this is only to inform everyone,

I got softbricked even if I flashed the right thing, that is VOG-L29 C636, with the appropriate dload, more than double checked toether with #SilviuO as well as by my own.

Nothing more to do than wait for final release for C636. But what if even that one won't work?

Like the right other one, today? Penny for your thoughts...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
That update is meant to be an OTA, not sure if it will be released. I usually look up for FULL OTA firmware (which is ~4.2 GB)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
Can I update using an otg cable plugged into the device and from the other side a usb (with the files inside) formatted in ex fat? Does the second procedure works properly?

Sorry for the many questions and thanks again
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
You can try by copying the dload folder with the 3 zips files inside, connecting it to your phone as you described and see if your phone recognise it when connected (if you see the folder and files in File Explorer from your phone). If yes, then you can try to flash :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
Does the folder have a particular name? Because whe I downloaded it I could only see the 3 files inside.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
dload. Inside you put the 3 zip files you mentioned earlier. Then you copy dload folder onto your memory to use as exFat.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] itsadam:
After about 1 minute I get:

"Software Install Failed"

Files are in dload, formatted the USB using the P30 Pro.

Please answer me.. I install the update via the guide here... I will still get updates via Ota?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Are u using a memory stick which has 8GB free storage and exFat formatted with a folder named dload and with all 3 zips inside of it?

This message appears when it can't find the files or the memory drive you are using is not compatible with P30 Pro.

---------- Post added at 10:18 ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 ----------

YES, you will get OTA after using dload method ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
It's 8gb (7,60) empty, after loading dload it's only 3.50 gb left. Correct? Maybe I need a bigger memory support?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
No, it's ok. Then ot means that:

1. Maybe your firmware download was incomplete (try to redownload firmware)

2. Did u extracted the 3 zips from the firmware downloaded and copied them as they are in the folder dload?

3. On your memory stick you need to have ONLY dload folder with all 3 zios inside

4. Try using another memory stick, maybe the one you're using now is not P30 Pro compatible.

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] almog6500:
What do you mean dload?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
dload firmware is the one you use to upgrade with a Huawei Service Firmware. It's called dload methid because you have a dload folder which contains 3 zips inside (the firmware to upgrade) which are used to upgrade.

See here how to
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
I downloaded the file, extracted the dload folder and copied in the support, the way it is (3 zip files). Before I connect via otg in the USB I only have dload folder bur as soon as I plug in an Android folder appears next to DLOAD.

I will try starting over again.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Great, remove Android folder created before (it's better if it creates another one again), leave only dload (written in small letters dload :), otherwise it will not work) and try again

Goodluck :D
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
No way. Doesn't work.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Try another memory stick or USB cable (i always recommend OTG adapter like this one), there have been users who had the same problem as yours and used another USB device and worked....

see here here here
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
I'wont give up, I'll find a way. The only thing I can't figure out is why every time I delete that Android folder it pops up again and again if I return back to the USB...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Everytime you connect it to the phone, it creates that folder. It's not a problem, you can leave it there. Try again, i'm sure there is something not compatible (OTG cable or memory stick, because you've said the files were ok)... Maybe you have a friend or someone else who has an Samsung device (S8, S9, S10, Note 8...) who can give you his OTG adapter ...or get one and use it from this day on or this one

I downloaded the firmware that fit to my phone.. And installed via huawei memory card... My question is, if I will keep get ota updates... It's not stop work for me suddenly right?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
It's allright, you will still get OTA's and future updates, search on this thread to see there are users who flashed EMUI 10 v10.0.0.168 and in few days receive the v10.0.0.173 OTA. So don't worry, you flashed an official Huawei firmware and you will still receive updates, as soon as Huawei pushes them to your device.

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
Yessssssss I did it!!!! I just changed the files putting the ones I got from the 1st page of this post and moved directly from the internal storage to the otg memory.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Great, so you have now v168 :). It means that something was wrong with the download link.

Glad you sorted out and made it EMUI 10 ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
Great, thank you for the support my friend, how can I get .173 now? It's available via ota?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Connect your phone WITHOUT SIM (you have Vodafone and might cut your acces to it) to WI-FI and check for OTA. If not, connect your phone to HiSuite PC version 10 and check for update. If not, Power Off your device and enter eRecovery by pressing POWER+VOLUME UP and keep them pressed untill you see Huawei on screen. Release the POWER button and keep pressing VOLUME UP untill you are in eRecovery menu, then release button. When in menu, select Update mode, then select eRecovery mode then Update and recover system then Download update and recover, connect your phone to WI-FI and it should start the download of the firmware. If it's still v168, you can Cancel it and restart your device.

If you still have no update, just wait for few days in order to get your device whitelisted by Huawei to get it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] diegovoga:
Just finished to set it up, I'm on 173, it did on it's own thank you so much

[MENTION=10404077]almog6500[/MENTION], check this post. He got an update after using dload to upgrade to v168 and then got v173 through OTA :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] svano:
Hi guys, come on. 168 to. 173 do you erase all data?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
OTA from v168 to v173 will not erase data. dload upgrade will wipe data :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] svano:
Then you can have the ota because I would like to update without losing the data if it is possible thanks

Hello SilviuO

Thanks a lot for sharing the firmware for my phone version.

Before flashing, I have another question:

My current version showing in build number in settings (EMUI 9.1) is C605E4R1P5 and the firmware (EMUI 10) you shared some posts above for the VOG-L29 C605 variant has the C605E19R1P3 identification. Are they for the same variant? I am worried about softbricking my phone if I flash the wrong version.

Thanks again

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

Hi,

Is EMUI 10 stable ? Is there somewhere a list of known issues ?

Any feedback regarding battery life ?

Thanks
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Last 2 releases (EMUI 10 v10.0.0.168 & v10.0.0.173) are NOT the final release of EMUI 10, those 2 builds are pre-release versions of final EMUI 10. When will the stable version be released? ATM we don't know, we'll just have to wait for next update and see what the changelog will be. For me battery life is somewhere at SOT ~ 8h30 and 38-40h usage from 100% - 10%.

For those 2 builds it was like this :

''This version is designed for you to experience new software features in advance, thus giving us feedback for further software improvement.

Below are known issues with this version that may affect your daily use. Do not install this update if you frequently use the apps or features concerned.

1. Some banking apps are not compatible with Android 10. This issue can be resolved only after compatible app versions are released.

2. Some instant messaging apps are not compatible with Android 10, and may encounter issues when sending images. Restart the app to fix this issue.

3. Silent mode will be enabled by default for notifications from instant messaging apps if you disabled sound and vibration alerts for them before installing this update. The alert mode can be modified in the app settings according to your preferences.''

Ok. Then:

1. Try using the method with Power OFF and not the one using the code you dial or the opposite one you're using and got installation failled;

2. Check the integrity of downloaded firmware (see if you can open those 3 zips, extract them in other place just to see if you get any extract error)

3. Maybe your OTG cable or adapter is not attached or moved in the process of flashing. Check his integrity (see that it doesn't interrupt by accidentally touching while flashing)

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] musicdiary:
Happy new year indeed. I finally unbricked my phone after checking other XDA threads related to softbrick. I found my answer at this thread.

https://xdaforums.com/mate-20-pro/help/probably-soft-brick-update-to-emui-10-t4003915

We all know that the reason for softbrick is that the firmware does not match the phone original region/vendor/country. For many of you, you need to second-guess the true region/vendor/country of the phone.

But from this post, it seems that only the base file is installed (EMUI 10), while the cust and preload files failed to install (remains EMUI 9.1), as this post suggested:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81258527&postcount=10

And after reading further, it seems the simple fix is to rename the cust and preload file to match the phone region:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81098065&postcount=89

The next question is: what is your phone's region/vendor/country? Instead of trial-and-error, I use fastboot to check my phone. My result:

c:\adb>fastboot getvar vendorcountry

vendorcountry: normal/hw

So, what I did was to copy the 3 dload files to the sd card formatted to exFAT, and rename the 2 files.

From

update_sd_cust_VOG-L29_xx_yyyyyy

update_sd_preload_VOG-L29_xx_yyyyyy_R1

To

update_sd_cust_VOG-L29_hw_normal

update_sd_preload_VOG-L29_hw_normal_R1

I was pleasantly surprised that it works. But in my case, there is this notification on the dropdown that says I am using an unofficial version. The firmware I used to install is L29 10.0.0.173 (C431E19).

What's next is that according to [MENTION=7530018]oslo83[/MENTION] the cust and preload need to be corrected, but I'm not sure what if I don't correct it. Guess I will only find out next year.
