This is the IP I got from Firmware Finder : 188.225.84.142

Go into your WiFi network, click "modify network" then change from Dynamic to Static and paste that DNS IP into DNS 1. You can leave DNS 2 IP alone. Once you save and internet reconnected, try going to Huawei Support App and check for update, reboot if needed. I live in USA but I have my region set to United Kingdom.

This is what worked for me. Also, have you tried Firmware Finder with the DNS IP and going into eRecovery mode? Even if Firmware Finder gives an error still apply update for eRecovery and try to force update eRecovery mode, once you get an update, try updating normally in Support App.

When I was stuck I only actually used Firmware Finder for 1 update which was 10.1.0.123. I got all updates normally afterwards but with the DNS IP still active in my WiFi network. Once I got all updates I changed back to Dynamic for my WiFi network setting.

Let me know if this works for you. Good luck 🙏
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesta:
It didn't erase my data when I did it, but to be safe just backup your stuff with Hisuite. Doesn't hurt to try, follow my steps
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
Thanks, but this doesn't work :( I've entered to recovery mode, selected update mode, , erecovery mode, update and recover the system, selected the wifi network and I got ,,package failed" :( So I'm stuck with this update forever...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesta:
Thanks for your reply, I just want to clarify:

1. Did you add the DNS IP into your WiFi network setting?

2. Even though you get an error on Firmware Finder, did you go ahead and click " Get an update via eRecovery" and follow through the prompts?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
Yes, done exactly what you've said step by step. Right now I'm doing a factory reset in order to see if I can update or not...

Go onto dload section and take 161 dload firmare
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
On the desktop app or on the mobile app?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
all their servers are down now so firmware finder it's obsolete..
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skodann:
You said that you will do a factory reset. It will not help you if your device is flashed with a wrong combination of firmware/country. So take 161 dload firmware from first page of this thread (if you have an L29 device) and flash it via OTG. Read carefully op
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Gnaget:
I was on 195 and also not reach any update. Then I decide to use dload with 161. It works perfectly and OTA reach up to EMUI 11.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
I've done a factory reset. I believe that it's not a problem with the firmware cause it came via OTA from Vodafone Romania, they simply don't want to push update for my device cause,, they didn't started their internal test", but Orange Romania already pushed this update...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
For me in Bucharest on VOG-L29 Vodafone did not push anything. I did dload to 161, then i got OTA up to 201. Then.... nothing. Waiting.

Hello everyone

I am having an issue with FW Finder and cannot connect to any server to download a firmware for P30 Pro c185.

vog-lgrp2-ovs 10.1.0.203

is the firmware I am not able to find or download.

Hope someone can help me with it, especial OP @SilviuO

Thanks in advance

HUAWEI moved their files from teammt servers. This upgrade channel NOT valid anymore. We all wait for OTA.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesta:
That's pretty lame they did that, I hope there are other methods soon when more updates get released as many users have problems getting OTA updates.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
Well, the problem is that Huawei refuses to give us OTA.I ve asked Huawei Romania why I m stuck on .187 and they insisted that ,,you'll receive the update, we can't manually push it". I've asked also Huawei UK but they can't help me cause I'm from another country...I can't wait to sell my device, too bad that it's having a good battery life, awesome cameras, the software support it's awful...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesta:
You see the funny thing is, my wife just bought a P30 Pro brand new from Amazon - VOG-L29

I was able to receive ALL updates for it without ANY SIM card installed on the device. I used eRecovery 3 times to install 10.1.0.123 and 10.1.0.150 and 11.0.0.138

All without using Firmware Finder.

I live in USA but in support app I used United Kingdom region.

what cell provider do you have? im on t-mobile in USA stuck on 10.1.0.203 C636 with an Oct security patch. i am wondering if jumping ahead to this version in the past is the reason i am not getting OTA's. Or it could be that the C636 update is rolling out later.

Just keeping this thread continuing.

After @mihailuican 😀, stated that huawei has made things even worse for customers by removing the files from teammt would anyone suggest flashing in dl mode version 10.1.0.176 (that's the most updated version i can find), while i have 10.1.0.203.

Again thanks for all of your support.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
Without knowing if good or bad, almost everyone (or most of us) used dload method to come down to 161, from which MOST got imediately by OTA 171, 191, 201 (some stuck there, including myself) and many got imediately EMUI11. Now you decide what you want.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] maxut90:
Thanks. Will give it a try definitely.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mihailuican:
Otherways, the newest dload method is 179., here in the OP, for C431.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
well, I can't downgrade to .176, I'm stuck to .187 and in hisuite I can't downgrade :( if I'm entering erecovery it says that ,,package not found"
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
I've tried the eRecovery version but it says ,,package not found" Thanks Huawei for making useless changes
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skodann:
Package not found could be seen in erecovery if your device is flashed with another rom than the one that is provided for your region/career. Also it can appear when the rom is newest than the latest version approved for your device
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
Well, I have C431E19R2P5, 10.1.0.187 right now, I've flashed it using firmware finder from 10.1.0.179 and I don't think I've selected a wrong firmware, I have a Vodafone branded device
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skodann:
I think it should be E23 instead of E19. I suggest dload method to go on 179 and then succesive OTA. As I know, 179 is already on E23. It will hard reset your device, so do a full backup before. After that you should search for OTA without sim inserted. For sure you will receive 11.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
DLOAD I suppose it will only work with an sd card/otg adapter, no?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skodann:
Yeap, I am using an OTG adapter
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
OK, thanks, I need to order it in order to do this...Huawei unfortunately doesn't want to help me, so my only solution would be this :(
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] maxut90:
For me it worked.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
For you, for me it says ,,package not found" I think I'm a little bit more than unlucky.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesta:
I'm using Cricket Wireless, but still I was able to get all updates on my wife phone without her SIM card installed.

If you're stuck, try booting into eRecovery mode and see if it will grab the latest for you.

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my p30Pro I couldn't solve by reading the posts.

My P30Pro VOGl29 c431 had a broken display, which I changed successfully and used for a couple of weeks. Lately, it began restarting itself now or then. I thought its overheating so I opened it once again to put some fresh thermal paste and a new battery. After the assembly, the phone is loading the Huawei boot logo and shuts off. On cable, it's restarting all the time.

View attachment 5251551

As you can see, VOG-L29 10.1.0.201 (C431E23R2P5) was already installed. Because I couldn't find this exact version, I downloaded the last one SilviuO posted:

Huawei P30 PRO VOG-L29 C431 v10.1.0.179

GDRIVE VOGUE-L29C 10.1.0.179(C431E23R2P5)_Firmware_EMUI10.1.0_05017BHV online

and did like described here by SilviuO:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81930419&postcount=463

I didn`t rewrite the flash drive after every flash but just renamed the folders. I assumed, that while updating, the phone is just reading the data from the flash drive without changing it, so after each step you can just rename the folders the way they need to be for the next update step. Please tell me if I´m being wrong!

1st-time flash: verifying and updating took long but finished successfully

2nd-time flash: took long to verify and long to install, similar to step 1, and finished successfully

3rd-time flash: verifying took very long, installing took long but finished successfully

Result: the phone is still a brick. In fastboot it says, that it is still VOG-L29 10.1.0.201 (C431E23R2P5)

Please tell men how to get it work once again :-(
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skodann:
Why are you renaming folders? The only thing you have to do is to put dload folder on the root of the removable drive and flash it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ape3:
I'm just following the instructions Silviu gave to unbrick a soft brick.

First step is isnalling unchanged folders. After that the phone is still a brick anywas

i am getting package info failed trhu erecovery. i am thinking its because i had updated thru firmware finder/hisuite proxy before. i can't even start from fresh thru the dload method. if firmware finder doesn't work again since huawei moved their servers, good chance i never get another update
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Gnaget:
Make a downgrade by dload method.

I'd same problem but after downgrade I get OTA up to Emui 11
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tensux:
I tried the dload method. i have used it before on the same model phone., every package i have on this one gave me an error. I am pretty sure I am using the correct versions.

Strange had you even tried a factory reset before or and downgrade by hisuite. I assume you have 195

Hi does anyone know what I can use to flash L09 C636?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

Hi m8, atm only VOG-L29 C636 is available. As soon it will be released for VOG-L09, i will post the link for it and quote you.

It was an user earlier who flashed VOG-L29 C185 on his VOG-L09 C185 and worked, but i can't guarantee it will work for you too and it won't softbrick your phone, so better wait for a dload firmware for VOG-L09 C636.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vincent26:
Great thanks for letting me know.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DantasticG:
Hi,

I'm currently still on 10.0.0.168 which I installed via the download method. Now that the later 10.0.0.178 is available am I right in thinking that the firmware now available on the original page on the thread that I've attached in the screenshot is safe to flash on my P30 Pro VOG-L09 as O2 still hasn't updated me OTA but did insist on installing there "apps and customisation" overnight on my 10.0.0.168 build.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yep, if your cust is VOG-L09 C431, you can use the firmware you've posted SS earlier.

And as a tip, remove your SIM when flashing dload firmware and set it up without it, that way you'll get ONLY the carrier bloatware (apps which can be removed) and their settings when inserting the SIM ?

Good luck flashing and feel free to ask if need more asisstance :cowboy:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DantasticG:
Thanks for the reply. My last security patch was November 2019 so I'm thinking update it via the Download method just before I go abroad where there's plenty of public WiFi. Out of curiosity if I check for an update via e-recovery as soon as I hit that check for updates is there no going back just in case it just wipes my device and reinstalls 068 all over again.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Nope, eRecovery doesn't wipe data, is like an OTA, only dload firmware wipes it. And if in eRecovery it gets you still v168, you can hit cancel and restart device. If it's another version, then let it download and install :)

For more info and how to enter eRecovery, check my OP at How to check for update using eRecovery on EMUI 10 ? , it's on the end of my OP.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
In some scenarios, yes, it's fixed. But when switching from different opened apps, it's still there.

Anyway, there's room for more improvementsbin the future firmware updates :).

EMUI 10 Upgrade

HI All

I am new to this Forum

I have a P30 Pro VOG-L09 (C431E4R2P2) on 9.1.0.260

I am wanting to upgrade to EMUI10 and have downloaded (C431E19R2P5)_Firmware_NA_EMUI10.0.0_05016TKC.zip, is this the correct image I need to flash ?

Also if anything goes wrong during flash will a factory reset fix it and put it back to 9.1 ? :confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, if you downloaded VOG-L09 C431 v178 firmware from OP and follow my guide step by step, you will get your device on EMUI 10 v10.0.0.178.

If something goes wrong (doubt it if you follow exactly my guide) you can return to EMUI 9.1 only using HiSuite PC version and if your device is set up.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daz450:
Thanks much appreciated

when you say if my device is set up do you mean if I have backed it up first on HiSuite on my Laptop ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Set up means powered on and went through the start process (connect no Wi-Fi, add or not your Google account, set up navigation gestures, etc).

Pay attention that this method will wipe clean data on your phone (Factory Reset it) and erase all data on internal storage. Backup before your stuffs (music, photos, videos, documents), backup your data and apps using HiSuite PC version and then Factory Reset your device, so you may not encounter any problem. Then after reset, power it off, insert OTG adapter + memory stick with dload folder (and all 3 zips inside it) on it or if you use NMCard copy dload folder (and all 3 zips inside it) to it and 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.

Feel free to ask if need more asistance :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daz450:
OK mate just waiting for cable to be delivered from the rain Forest, off topic but is there a way to turn the VOG-L09 into dual sim ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
To rebrand an L09 to an L29 you need to unlock bootloader, root device, flash a L29 device info and cust the flash a dual firmware on it, but unlocking bootloader service isn't available from Huawei anymore and no other paid services can provide you with one. That could be done because they used the same motherboard on all devices.

BUT that could be done on previous devices (P10 and before). Since P20 Pro / P20 they manufacter the phones with different motherboard (single SIM for L09 and dual SIM for L29) and that thing can't be done anymore using the method above. It can be done only in service centers by replacing existing motherboard (L09) with another one (L29), which costs somewere ~ 300 euro (more or less), so it doesn't worth the pain :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daz450:
So I need to factory reset the device, then go through basic set up (connect to WIFI etc )and then backup in HiSuite on my PC and then plug in USB stick with OTG Cable and flash ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jaxxrt:
Hi, sorry im looking for a vog-l04 emui 10 firm, now if already have?? Really thanks!!!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
NO, in order to UPDATE to EMUI 10 from EMUI 9.1 do this:

1. Download the firmware and extract 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;

2. Then BACKUP your stuffs, if you haven't done yet using HiSuite PC version 10;

3. Factory Reset your phone and POWER it OFF;

4. Insert your OTG + memory stick / drive with the firmware downloaded earlier which has on it the dload folder with all 3 zips inside;

5. ON EMUI 9.1 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.

If you want to revert to EMUI 9.1 after you've upgraded (just saying), you need to go through basic set up (connect to WIFI, skip adding Google account, etc) and then :

1. Enable “Allow HiSuite to use HDB” from Settings. This will allow you to connect your device and computer (HiSuite) without the use of USB debugging mode;

2. Open the HiSuite v10 on your PC;

3. Connect your phone to HiSuite;

4. Once the connection is successfully established, you’ll see the device model number on the HiSuite window;

5. Now click on the ‘Update’ button on HiSuite;

6. Select ‘Switch to Other Version’.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8, there is no VOG-L04 dload firmware atm. As soon as it will be available, i will post the mirror link for it.

Have you tried checking for an update without your SIM inside? OTA, eRecovery or HiSuite? Maybe your carrier SIM is blocking the update acces :rolleyes:. For how to, please check my SS bellow :)

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skodann:
Buy any OTG adapter, I have an Hama, bought from Carrefour :) Take the latest firmware for your device from first oage and flash. Do a full backup first. I recommend to search for updates before you insert sim card an the device.

DLOAD with 161 not 150. It worked best for everybody. After dload to 161, without inserting SIM card yet, let it receive all OTA's. After no more OTA coming, then insert SIM and restore your last backup for internal docs, photos, music, apps and their data. Make sure when backup to backup apps and data and system settings, otherwise default does not backup personal apps. Cheers.
