Messed up

Hello guys,

please give me some help to fix this biiig problem.

Thank you in advance:confused::confused::(
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
What version and cust your phone is (ex.VOG-L09 C431)? You used a different version and therefore that message.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
[MENTION=9504511]slasksk[/MENTION], m8, use Fastboot in order to find out what version and cust you're on. For how to, please check this link and use the following commands:

fastboot oem get-build-number

and press enter button

This command checks the version, cust and actual firmware of your phone.

Good luck and let me know yours so i could help you revive your phone ;)

Hello, i get this (bootloader) :VOG-L29 9.1.0.193(C432E4R2P2)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Ok, so you flashed C431 over C432, therefore your softbrick. Check my OP for this version, download and flash it, then please report your succesfully update :) Huawei P30 PRO VOG-L29 C432 v10.0.0.178

GDRIVE VOGUE-L29C 10.0.0.178(C432E19R2P5)_Firmware_NA_EMUI10.0.0_050 15THQ online
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] slasksk:
Thank you, im downloading that one atm, but how can i flash it now? before i used OTG with a Usb, but now i cant do it again, can you help me a litle more?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
In order to flash it, i'm gonna asume that it flashed the EMUI 10 recovery. In order to acces it and flash C432 firmware, follow this (after you've copied C432 dload firmware on your OTG device and connected to your phone):

Power OFF your phone. Then 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 Memory card/OTG update mode and it should start the update. Let it flash the firmware and then it will restart itself :)

Please let me know how it worked for you :cowboy:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] slasksk:
You are an angel mate! it worked , phone is alivee :D:D:D thank you very much
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Glad i could help you m8 :cool:. Enjoy your updated phone and if you need any further assistance, please let me know :D
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] slasksk:
thank you very much for be so kind.

btw one more question, to ask for frp code, with IMEI i send? my phone have IMEI1 and IMEI2 in the back sticker:confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
If you have FRP lock, it needs to insert your previous Gmail account password. If you're locked and don't know your pass or can't acces it and need to use a paid service (as i understand from what you said), IMEI 1 needs to be send in order to get a code to unlock it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] slasksk:
thanks alot for all the help! sent you a PM:good::good:

Alll I don't know where they're at all my licenses Google
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] goofylad:
So am I right in assuming this requires no download of the emui10 and it should auto download the update once connected to WiFi? New to my p30 pro last time I done stuff like this was my s5
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
This update will require the download of the firmware IF your device SN/IMEI is whitelisted on Huawei server to receive the update aka EMUI 10,v10.0.0.178 through eRecovery. If it's not, it will give you the same version that you're on when checking.

If you don't get the update using eRecovery and don't want to wait, your only way of getting it is through dload firmware shared by me :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] goofylad:
Awesome will give it a try thanks
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
;) quote me if you need further assistance, m8.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
If it's the same version as you're on now, your only way of getting the update is by using dload firmware (see that it matches the device and cust you have - ex. VOG-L29 C431).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] goofylad:
I mean I don't even get erecovery menu only get offered 3 wipe ones and a reboot option
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
To enter eRecovery on EMUI 9.1, please check my screenshot bellow :). Forgot that on OP it was only for EMUI 10 :eek:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] goofylad:
Tried that mate same version as I have 9.1.0.240 VOG-L09 don't have a nmc yet or a otc cable so will need to get one of them or wait till they finally update me :(
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamelphick:
I have the older version of this (I use a micro usb to C adapter) but it's really useful for flashing ROMs and transferring files etc

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
In your link, the result of this adb command:

oem get-build-number

does not provide the CUST. C431, C432, etc.

HOW do you obtain this particular info?

Can you please provide a screenshot with the CUST result, as your link does not. Cheers.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi Mihai,

Check this post and see a PrintScreen of OEM-build-number - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81365657&postcount=15 . And is not an ADB command, is a FASTBOOT one, that's why i've shared and a link from where you get more info about how to use FASTBOOT ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
Ok, I managed to do it.

(bootloader) :VOG-L29 9.1.0.193D(C636E4)

BUT, I flashed C636 and also soft brick. What should I flash to succeed? Thanks #SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Flash v173 from here, (it seems v178 isn't working for you) - https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1qNPCIm_tI_TKJ08YrbooIOVrEUTXmd1H&export=download

To extract the file downloaded, use EF File Extractor v5.0

Report back your result ;)

issue after ota update

so my p30 pro(8gb ram 256gb version) restarted halfway through an ota update, now it says your device has loaded a different operating system, so i tried each and everyone of those rom links and 431 updates via otg in the recovery menu just fine, after install it goes right back to saying your device has loaded a different operating system, any idea of what i can do? on the back it says chinese model l29, and right below are the words "not for sale"
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
Same result. Softbrick.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8, check my post #253 and tell me your cust and version, so i (and you) know what version of device you have.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Strange, because there were users who flashed C636 and got the update succesfull. If i'm right, the same thing happened before changing motherboard, when it was a demo device and had C636 cust...

If none of those 2 firmwares worked, i'm affraid you will have to wait for next dload firmware to flash in order to revive it, flashing other custs will get you in the same position, softbricked.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
This the first motherboard, the demo one, I came back to it, the other motherboard was on a loan.

Hoped I can make it work.

Initially it was C432, but after I upgraded with your files C10 whatever russian firmware, CUST changed to C636...

I tried all 178 versions, none works. I seriously doubt that any other firmware will solve this, it is weird.

Well, that's about it, life goes on.

Any other suggestions, feel free to fire away, I'm ready to experiment.

Cheers.

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
[MENTION=5173416]mihailuican[/MENTION], I have another ideea, since using C10 firmware worked last time, why don't use a C10 EMUI 10 firmware?

Here you have the link for VOG-L29 v10.0.0.173(C10E11R5P1) - https://androidhost.ru/1MX8?pt=YlhO...PZEZCMFVUMDlPdjZMN3laLzl4TlRyNE5LM1ZPUHRHVT0=

Please tell me if it worked ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
Tried it, it did not work, I honestly do not understand what can be wrong with the update path I followed from C432 through C10 that ended up in C636 that does not react to any and all of the possible update solutions posted here. ONE of them should have worked, statistically, but none?

Are there any more variants of CUSTS that I have not tried yet? I did all 6 from here plus the C10...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Then i think there ia something wrong about EMUI 10 and demo devices. Something changed regardless kernel, security and other stuffs and maybe those demo devices aren't build to sustain EMUI 10...we'll have to wait for the next firmware release to test again, maybe next firmware will be the one who would revive it (C432, C636 or C10, the rest don't matter)

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Cool, so it seems is like i've said it here, 5 days ago and here, #3423, one month ago.

Anyway, it's great that they've started releasing it, even if it's just January Security patch, but at least we will know (after i'll see the changelog from inside dload folder) if it's the final release or not :rolleyes:

aaand it seems to have the same changelog as the chinese version 10.0.0.188, the one i've allready posted on #2

CHANGELOG for VOG-AL10C v10.0.0.188

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
You will get v188 ONLY if you have a Chinese version, VOG-AL10. If you have an European cust, you will get EMUI v10.0.0.186 with the changelog i've allready posted here, on #2 ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] williamtavares:
That's what i meant, mine hasn't arrived yet :confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
It seems that users from xda started receiving the OTA 2 days ago (i haven't got it either), so it depends on whitelisting the IMEI/SN on Huawei update servers. When yours or mine gets whitelisted, we will get OTG or by eRecovery or by HiSuite. In case they will release dload firmware before we get OTA or eRecovery, guess i will choose dload :D.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
[MENTION=9895343]Thanos88[/MENTION], m8, let me know your actual cust & device, so i might now what firmware to tell you to download. For example, i have VOG-L29 C431 as device. Let me know yours (Settings/About phone/build+version number) :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Hello, please see attached photo of my device details :) and please give me the link to your step by step guide ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
OK, so let's start :p (!!! BE AWARE THAT USING dload firmware WILL DO A FULL WIPE AND WILL ERASE YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY, SO DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP BEFORE (using HiSuite PC version 10 or just copying your stuffs to a PC) !!!:

1. Download this firmware (latest available is v10.0.0.178) for VOG-l29 C431 (as i saw your device is) - https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1asISYZCxzsHiWZp4UA0y3Ubq1ebff2yY&export=download

2. Extract dload folder from downloaded archive above (dload folder with all 3 zips inside) and copy to your memory stick / drive (formatted as exFat or NTFS) that will be used to upgrade;

3. BACKUP your stuffs if you haven't done yet :);

4. Factory Reset your phone (optional, but i always do it, it's safer) and POWER it OFF;

5. Insert your OTG + memory stick / drive with the correct firmware on it (dload folder with all 3 zips inside);

6. Enter eRecovery by simultaneously pressing POWER+VOLUM UP+VOLUM DOWN untill you see the white screen with EMUI eRecovery mode. Then release buttons and let the recovey starts / ends the flashing procedure. At the end it will give Update Successfully and will restart. You can now remove the OTG and after ~1-2 minutes it will require your setup (Country, Language, Google Account, etc).

I suggest you after you flashed a clean firmware, to remove bloatware (unwanted apps and apps you don't use) and remove ads without root or any other blocking VPN app, to TAKE a LOOK at my #3 post, in order to find out how to ;)

If you need further assistance, please let me know :highfive:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Brilliant :) I am currently downloading the firmware as we speak, will let you know as soon as upgrade is done ????
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Great, then good luck flashing and let me know when finished :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Sorry I'm slightly confused, shall I extract the zip file which contains the 3 zip files ? Or shall I just download it and copy it into my otg/usb?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
After you've downloaded the firmware in zip format, EXTRACT from it the dload folder which contains 3 zip files inside and copy it AS IS (dload folder with all 3 zips inside) to your USB / memory stick formatted as Fat32 or NTFS and then do the rest of the steps :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Ah I understand , thanks, will update you once done ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
:silly: keep me posted :highfive:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Hello, I did everything as instructed, but when I went to recovery it says 'update failed'. The ROM is inside the download folder of the SD card which I've put into an adapter and then inserted into the Huawei with otg :(

*EDIT, The file I extracted has created a dload folder, inside the dload folder is just 1 ZIP file called update_sd_base.zip is this correct ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
NOT the whole ROM, only dload folder with all 3 zips inside (update_sd_base.zip, update_sd_cust_VOG-L29_hw_eea.zip, update_sd_preload_VOG-L29_hw_eea_R2.zip). Make sure your USB / memory device is Fat32 formatted or if error persist use another memory stick / USB.

Also I don't have a pc or laptop atm so I actually want to give a shout out to my other device, Asus Rog phone 2, which downloaded the ROM and transferred to SD card through otg, backed up my data & pretty much acted as a PC throughout the process ?

I'm glad i could help you getting to the end :cool:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Let it do his job :), it will get from 4-100%, then restart itself.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Awesome stuff, it's updating now ?? it was a struggle lol, without laptop or PC it's very slow process however I got there in the end. Next step for me is to follow your guide to remove bloatware☺️☺️☺️
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
After completed (when restart) you can remove the OTG. Then set it up and remove bloatware :D. Also, let me know if you need more info. Aaaand don't forget to get that DNS, so you get rid of ads :p

Thank you so much bro ♥️ also this ROM is December security patch, any idea when I'll get the January patch ?

I will debloat etc today ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I have the same firmware as you, BUT there are users reporting to receive v10.0.0.186 through OTA (even after using dload firmware). So when your device will get whitelisted on Huawei servers (especially now that you're on EMUI 10 it will be soon) you will get the new update, with January security patch.

Hi, I have a P30 Pro bought in China, VOG-AL10, dual sim. I wanted to change it to an international version rom so that I can use Google and other stuff. I am in Canada. What can I do? Thank you.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Nothing, except selling it and buying an european retail unit. If you flash other firmware, you will get softbricked. To get your phone from AL10 to L29 you have to rebrand it (unlock bootloader, root and a whole process with it). But that isn't possible so easy, because Huawei stopped their service of giving free unlocked bootloader and having to pay 200$von Funky Huawei for an unlock code seems too expensive (and you don't have the certain that can be rooted, because in EMUI 10 there is no boot.img to modify using Magisk and there are no developers who can develop TWRP or other stuffs).

softbricked vog-L29 c819 demo

hi, everyone,

Did I get it right that there is currently no solution to revive a softbricked VOG-L29 c819 demo?

In my particular case, the phone was attempted to be upgraded from EMUI 9 to 10 with a different region firmware using OTG :rolleyes:

Thank you in advance.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, you're right. ATM there is no method of reviving softbricked demo devices. Users tried with all known/invented methods, but with no luck. It seems that in order to get them working again, you need the original cust and preload from C819 for EMUI 10, which is not available yet. The ones from EMUI 9.1 aren't working and you can't use any of the EMUI 9.1 firmwares to downgrade.

Keep an eye on this (or the rest of the threads), maybe someone finds a way and will share to all demo users ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] luntan2007:
Thank you for your prompt reply.

Thanks. It's too bad. P30 Pro is a great phone. I really hope it works with Google. At the moment it has Google on it but there are some small glitches, e.g. Google Maps does not really record my footprints.

Is there a way to get the full Google package onto this VOG-AL10?
