Had v190 installed when tested first time on VOG-L29 C431. Now i'm downgrading to EMUI 9.1 in order to test straight from EMUI 9.1. Did the test with downgrade from v190 to v186, then installed v190 without a hiccup....
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] alimaster88:
After update to the latest version. Some browsers are not seeing a default Download folder. For example, Microsoft edge download files to this location: /android / data / com.mictosoft.emmx

My model is VOG-L29D

I update my p30 pro by OTG.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fitness33:
Can I use this method to change my c675

Vog l29 to c432 as it was initially;
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
You can try, m8, but i don't think you can change back your cust to C432 and there is the risk of softbrick. But there's a C675 dload firmware in OP, in case you need to update your changed cust device or to revive your potentially softbricked phone ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Haven't encountered your problem untill now. Did you try clearing cache/data+force stop on browser/s and then setting them up again and eventually select default download location + giving them permission to acces storage?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tokertm:
thanks for the newest rom.

on .168 L29 c431 here in the UK ... been on it for months with no other update, bored shedless at the moment so backing up and will try it ... backing up taking FOREVER though! (245g of tv/movies lol)

might try e-recovery 1st and see if that sends .178 or .186 to me, failing that will just throw this .190 across :)

Many thanks as always :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
You're welcome, m8. Let me know if you encounter any problems whille flashing the rom, there are some users (as you can see few posts before) which are having errors when trying to flash :confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] alimaster88:
Hello Friend. Searching in the Google i saw that this problem is related to the chrome-based browsers and Android 10. Even so, I thank you for your help.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Thanks for letting me/us know about this Chromium based browsers error. Maybe they will fix it in future apps updates ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I've seen it too, especially when watching on Netflix sometimes, but i was affraid that guys will say that it's only because Netlfix and others content providers changed the bitrates and the codecs used to stream. So, it's good to know i'm not the only one that saw this change (and the battery life is great, though) :highfive: Since last night when i've made that test and at the end reinstalling all my apps and setting up again :rolleyes:, started flashing/downgrading/upgrading at 95% battery and now i'm on 37% :D
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tokertm:
Well ... finally backed up (looooong time) doing the e-recovery way and it's started grabbing this .190 version here in the UK so didn't need the file from here .... cheers anyway :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
It's great that you get it without using dload firmware :), but you've waited soooome time for it :p And bdw, now you've backuped your phone too :))))
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yeah, yesterday was my 3rd day since first installed v190 on my phone :p. But this time have done it by the book, with downgrading untill EMUI 9.1, then flashing using dload firmware EMUI 10 v178, V186 and latest v190. Then did also a factory Reset (wasn't necessary, but i've made it anyway) and set up my phone from scratch (removin unwanted apps using ADB, connecteing to my Google acoount and so on) Took me ~ 5hrs, but now i'm done with this version, waiting for April firmware release (20-25th of April should appear a newer dload firmware version for us and i will test it as i allways do before uploading it here) :highfive:

Restored my phone via eRecovery FW x.186 C431, but update to x.190 C431 stuck always on 5%
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Try by using one of those 3 methods bellow :eek:

Downgrade to EMUI 9.1 with HiSUite (and be sure to remove Google account before). After that, set up your phone (without SIM inside and without connecting to any WIFI) then use the v190 C431 firmware in order to update. Put the dload firmware with all 3 zips inside, connect the OTG adapter + memory stick onto your phone, then in dialer use this code *#*#2846579#*#* and select 4.Software Update then 1.Memory card Upgrade. Your phone will restart and should start flashing the firmware. That was the method i've used last night with my phone in order to test and worked. PLEASE DO as i wrote and report back if it worked for you.

OR

Use the v178 dload firmware from my 2nd post in first page to downgrade and then flash straight v190. PLEASE tell me if it worked if you used this method.

OR

REFLASH v186 posted on my 2nd post from this thread, then flash v190. PLEASE tell me if it worked if you used this method.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] starbase64:
[MENTION=5482623]SilviuO[/MENTION]

dialer methode works fine, thanks
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
My guess is that April or May firmware will bring the necessary adjustments to base firmware i order to receive the looong&mooost awaited new AOD on our phones....BUT after we're getting it, we would have to wait for the NEW one, which will bring 3D AOD on EMUI 10.1, as P40 series have now :)))))
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
SO you passed the 5% when flashing? :cool: That's great, it seems that there was something wrong with the recovery within system from your device, hope flashing v190 will get it solved :D
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
In my case, the DEMO phone, regardless of the firmware flashed, after update the firmware was presented xxx.178D(C431). After flashing a retail model, after update will state 178(C431), without the D.

So I think that D attached to firmware number, not to CUST, is indicative of a Demo version... Cheers.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] salbaticu:
Select card and otg update (not usb )
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I don't understand your reply, m8. I'm not having any issues, i know how to flash dload firmwares ?, if you read back my posts you'll find out what was the problem ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yeah, we kinda sorted out and now we're aware of how custs are divided (retail vs demo).

Anyway, how's your health? Are you at home? Far away from COVID-19? #StaiAcasă (#StayAtHome)!!!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
I'm fine, thanks for caring. I bought a MRT key and try to find time to understand how to's (inexisting) and looking for manuals.... totally missing. Theoretically this dongle should flash anything on chinese phones with mediatek chips, unlocking bootloaders and such. Practically, I kinda do not know how to use it and still look for tutorials. If you find any, kick it my way, would you. Cheers.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Glad to hear that, m8 :)

OK, i've found this YTB Video , this forum for tech, this one which has the latest software for your dongle .

If i will get more infos, i will update this post.

Hope that those will help you :D

Que más parcero, tengo una duda y espero me puedas ayudar, hace poco adquirí el P30 Normal por Claro y como has de saber es una mie&$#@ la manera en que estos teléfonos que venden los operadores se actualizan, quisiera saber si este método funcionaria para este modelo, yo tengo el P30 ELE-L04 Cust (C25) quisiera saber si se podría instalar uno de ELE-L09 O ELE-L29 o si serviría el del ELE-L04 Cust (C605) que es el libre.

Quedo atento a tus comentarios.

Saludos desde Medellín.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
Thanks, I already had those. For the moment, problem is that what i tried according to the very lacking info and examples, is NOT working, not reading phone info still not PERMITTED, and very little troubleshooting info available, and in very poor english.

I have a cracked P30Pro available, fully functional though without screen, to practice on.

Maybe in time, little by little, should we live enough... Hahaha. Cheers, Silviu.

PS - LATER EDIT - I got v10.0.0.190 today by HiSuite on the retail L29 phone.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Great news?. What about the NMCard? Have you contacted the seller? Or it worked in the end?!?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
The seller, plays the innocent. I lost the money. Three Huawei phones not recognizing the nm card. I just took a loss, lucky me. It happens, nothing new. Life goes on. Cheers.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
:( bad luck, what can i say to those resselers rather than ?.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
My bad. It was a USED card, not new, so a private seller, not reseller. Cheers.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] marcioplay:
Hello everyone, well the version of mine is Huawei P30 PRO VOG-L29D C605 v10.0.0.190, I downloaded it installed the way the tutorial shows and everything went well, only in the Play Store it is like "the device is not certified" so far so good the problem is that I use the Google Pay app a lot, so as this is giving me that the device is "unsafe" I can't use the app in question I tried several alternatives to delete data from the play store format the phone and nothing solved that there I went back to the Huawei P30 PRO rom VOG-L29D C605 v10.0.0.178 that I was in and everything went back to normal so I ask is there any way I can update without having this problem?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
:silly: my pleasure, m8 :highfive:. Please let me know if you need more assistance, after you get your OTG adapter and have any more questions. BDW, i have a pair of FreeLace and the sound got better with EMUI 10, there's NO lag when watching videos on Netflix or Youtube or listening to music, so EMUI 10 is great so far :cool:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamelphick:
OMG - I remembered I had s lot with my P10 Plus that had micro usb adapter, plus a Kingston USB/micro USB memory stick! Plugged adapter into to suck and then in to P30 Pro and it sees the memory stick!

So as I have dual SIM L29 C431 I guess I can download that version from this thread. Pop it in the stick and do the update that way.

As I just got the phone yesterday, and have only just finished setting it up (silly me) will I lose everything and have to do again? My banking apps are a right pain to reset. Wish I'd seen this thread before I set it up lol.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, this one from OP (is the Gdrive mirror).

Sadly, YES, it will wipe data from your internal memory and factory reset it, so you will have to backup apps (or other stuffs like docs, music, videos, pics, downloads...) before by using HiSuite PC v10 and then restore your apps or reinstall them manually from scratch. And you can use my debloat bloatware guide and ads remove one from my #3 post .
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamelphick:
[emoji849]

Ok I will leave it tonight and see if sealing SIM helps. If not tomorrow I guess I'm reinstalling it all again lol.

Thanks so much for all your help....

After this I am going to try flashing Pie onto my GPad 8.3... found it in cupboard and forgot how good it was, checked XDA and Oreo and Pie being developed for it. Gotta love this place!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yeah, that's the beauty of xda :). People always try to get more from their devices and sometime they do :)

Cheers and good luck on flashing (on both devices, i should say :cool:, if Huawei won't send the update to you untill tomorow ).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamelphick:
Damn I am so impatient I can't wait! Haha

Downloaded the firmware, unzipped and it's transferring to the stick now. I will use the on phone method i think, charging phone full now (this charges so fat - even better than my P20 Pro!). I've backed up on HiSuite 10 as well - hopefully that wll save Google doing an over air sync via Play Store.

It says in your guide that the full reset is optional - so i guess I can just dial the code in phone withut having to wipe everything first as the flash wil wipe as part of the process?

Sorry for all the questions but it is literally years since I did any flashing - last was changing my P10 pro from single SIM to dual SIM.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, Factory Reset is optional, BUT you better remove your Google account before (from Accounts then restart device), it's better than having complications after (i know it's your device and you know your Google account and password, but trust me, there were some users with complications after and i think it's better this way)

And don't forget do copy the dload folder with all 3 zips inside, don't uzip them, leave them as they are (double checking to be sure :p)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamelphick:
OK thanks - I'll reset it just in case then... better to be safe than sorry! Most apps are easy log back in - just banking that will probably be a pain - unless that backup keeps the details - doubt it though.

Wish me luck! Phone almost on 100% battery now :p
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Good luck!!! Anyway, you should have at least 55% battery in order for firmware to start upgrading, no need for 100%, but if it's fast charge, why not:D? :)

About bank app, you will see after upgrade, next time you'll know what you have to do. For everything there is a first time :highfive:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamelphick:
It worked! Very quick update via OTG. I went through basic phone startup without adding any accounts - then connected to HiSuite and am doing a restore - let's see what it restores - hopefully accounts too!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
It depends, Google account for sure it's not restoring it :). Glad you get EMUI 10 on your phone and all went smooth :cool:. No need to wait for Huawei OTA anymore. Now let's wait for everyone to get EMUI 10 and wait for next update, sometime in February :rolleyes:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Kingess:
Yo m8.

I tryed the 3 solutions u gave us.

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamelphick:
All set back up. Huawei HiSuite backup saves lots of apps and their password States which is very handy. The rest I have in my Google account so it's cool.

I have noticed a real problem with Google Photos though .. it has completely screwed up my photos time range. For some weird reason it took a whole chunk of older photos and chucked them under today's date! Before I realised it that had synced across to the cloud version and now my old phone Google Photos is the same.... Sigh. Goodness knows why.

Everything else seems fine.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
That's great hearing about backup and restoring apps. But i don't get it why Google Photos f####d up your photos from cloud :rolleyes:. May be a bug in Photos or recovering your photos through HiSuite (my guess you backed up photos too) gave them another taken day...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

I've encountered your problem on other user and it seems it's taking some time untill the firmware gets approved by Google in order to get certified. For more info, please check my posts #4082, #4083, #4084 and #4086.

You can downgrade using dload firmware to latest certified firmware for C605 and wait for someone to confirm that v190 got certified or who knows, maybe get OTA whille getting certified by Google ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] marcioplay:
thanks for the quick answer ok so i have to wait for google to certify the rom so i already went back to the certified rom all is ok now thanks again for the answer.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Great then, wait for a whille and keep an eye on the thread from where i've shared my posts, maybe other users of C605 will install or get OTA/HiSuite or eRecovery update and validate the firmware Google's certification, so you can safetly use GPay on it ☺️.

Stay safe, stay inside ?!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] L22EEW:
Good day too all.

I've been using the P30 Pro for about 24 hrs now. There was a pop up notification for an update.

Is it a simple case to just update? Or is there another process to follow. I have seen the last 3 pages of posts. Also some reference to the play store not being certified?

I literally only set the phone uo yesterday. Not overly keen to do that all again just yet :D
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
It's OK, let it do the update. The non Google certification is only for C605 cust devices, whilest yours is C431. The OTA will be downloaded, restart device, update it, optimising apps at restart and then ready to use as is now ☺️

Later edit: only dload firmware will factory reset the device, OTA / HiSuite or eRecovery won't ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hieulam96:
Help me

Hello everybody, i have updated to 190 and testing in 4 days with 4 times charge battery. But now my battery still drain si fast , unclude SOT and Standby time. If i want to dowgrade to 186 , anyway can do without losing Data? Pls help!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
NO, you can't downgrade to v186 without factory restting your device. The only way to downgrade is by using the dload firmware which will clear data from your phone.

Nota bene: Sometimes, if the firmware is not available yet for your device in eRecovery (in your case v190), it might give you the previous version (in your case v186), but i don't know if reverting using eRecovery will work without wipping data ;)

I hope not but I fear, cust L29 431 was on board, I tried l29d eaa 431, getting into fastboot mode is not possible, no vibration, anything

When you plug into the wall charger, does it charge? It starts, vibrate, something that indicates it', s charging or it's screen is awake whille in socket?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Smartfox987:
P30 Pro Hardbricked?

No, charging is impossible, no matter how long is it in socket, no living indication, a little bit warm,
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
That's what i was affraid, m8. If there is no reaction from device, my first thought was maybe your screen had something to do with it, like broken or something else. BUT as you're saying, i think that your motherboard fried or other circuit on it, so your device got HARDBRICKED (not SOFTBRICKED, because it would show you a message or at least it would start when powering On or connecting to wall charger and again, showing you a message) and you should sent it to a Huawei Service Center telling them that got like this whille updating to latest version :(

I'm sry that i can't help you in other matter, but if it was software/firmware related, i would have tried to advice you in order to revive your unit. But as it seems, i can't.

Hi m8,

NO, i don't have it and it's not available on the sites from where i check for dload firmwares (halabtech & easy firmware. You can check on those 2 sites and if it appears, let me know so i can see if can get it for you.

#stayinhouse, #staysafe away from corona ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ernest2728:
Ok bro, thank you very much for the information, I will continue verifying and I will be contacting you as soon as I know that it is available, one more thing, by chance you know how to extract the complete firmware from the cell phone so that they are like those downloaded to install by DLOAD, with what program? Because this would also be good since some already have the latest update and it would be good to share the firmware faster [emoji16][emoji16], of course I do not know if it can, but it would be a good idea and option to not wait so long for them to be uploaded on pages, greetings [emoji106]

Enviado desde mi ELE-L04 mediante Tapatalk
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
The update other users received is through OTA or by using Hisuite or eRecovery. Those firmwares CAN'T br extracted from device, because lack of unlocked bootloader (root and have acces to rest of system partition) and because after succesfully installed the updates, those downloaded firmwares are automatically deleted.

Only chance is to try using HiSuite or eRecovery (see my OP's end post) or by using a dload firmware, when it becames available ?
