I'd suggest you to update to a newer version rather than going back, because usually going back sometimes even bugs your phone that you need to factory reset and wipe cache for it to work.

I have put together a complete guide on how to install firmwares 👇🏻

Ace! I can see your new Huawei Firm Finder, that's exactly what I will try (after a good night's sleep 😴).

Thanks again, I'll let you know how it goes.
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Guides, News, & Discussion] W00fer:
There is still thousands of firmwares missing. Is it possibly to manually search for firmwares using the new ROMID checks?
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Guides, News, & Discussion] IProfessor:
Old phones firmwares follow a different path than the new ones, I could not find a way to support them yet, but hopefully with more work gonna do.

Though with that fixed, still the "deprecated" ( old ) firmwares would be missing, cuz the new method relies on hicloud than the update website to brute force and get urls, so if there's a package that Huawei doesn't want you to reach, it would simply not be grabbable....
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Guides, News, & Discussion] W00fer:
The phone I search for Huawei P9 is from 2016 so technicall just 4 and a bit years old.

Why did Huawei do this. Take down also the P10 and P20 firmwares? Those are even newer and not on your site.
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Guides, News, & Discussion] W00fer:
I did find a mirror for the older firmwares

Example

http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91783&version=358257&siteCode=de

So the download-c.huawei.com/download works

What is offline is the

http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/

and

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/

The only thing left is to scrape everything.
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Guides, News, & Discussion] IProfessor:
Pretty interesting, though apparently it doesn't contain many firmwares....

Here's the full list ->

Hello @IProfessor,

After an initial try a couple of weeks ago where I wasn't successful, which I suspect was me not following your guidelines correctly, I tried again this evening.

I decided to install the release with which my phone was delivered - 10.1.0.176. I configured HiSuite Proxy carefully as per your instructions, and HiSuite informed me I could update to 176. The installation went smoothly (but slowly!) and my phone rebooted with everything still intact- particularly GMS.

The phone then immediately offered me an update to 11.0.0.151 (I think) which I took, then it immediately wanted to update to 11.0.0.175, which I have now done.

Thank you very much for helping me recover a rather fantastic phone I thought was a lost cause, and saving me from the ignominy of failure.

Another donation on its way.

With my best regards, Kitty.
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Guides, News, & Discussion] IProfessor:
So happy to hear that! Congratulations 🥳

Thank you for the donation! You've helped with keeping the website running for possibly a year and half! 😂♥
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Guides, News, & Discussion] W00fer:
Many thanks for scraping. But unfortunately my firmware is not there. I asked Huawei support but they remain silent.
[BetterBatteryStats] bulgaria8:
Hello,

I am experiencing huge battery drain (20-25%) every night.

I am with pixel experience since Wednesday on Mi 10T (android 11).

I have installed BBS and I see that the phone is in awake (screen off) state almost all of the time.

I don't understand much the app so can someone tell me from the screenshots what can be causing the problem.

Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kaysee_sw:
Hi,

While I'm waiting for my spare battery to arrive, I thought I'd check and see how useful it's going to be...

Is it possible to swap batteries without having the device 'hard reset', or can I quickly swap when I need to without having to reinstall and setup all my stuff?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] diggy128:
Swapping the battery is like soft resetting.

Power off - power on

I don't think anything is lost. You just reboot the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] horstborsch:
This will never be possible. You have to keep up your power supply during the battery swap. This is only possible with a large capacitor. And only for this use you will never see this built in a mobile handset due to the extra cost, weight and needed space.

While taking out the battery the device will only power off. After replacing the battery you can normally switch on your device, this is like a soft reset! Don´t worry about lost programs and so on.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kaysee_sw:
That's what I wanted to hear - I don't mind a quick power-down to swap, I just didn't want to then have to re-sync with the computer to get all the settings back.

I suspected the \internal storage was flash-based so would survive a battery swap, I just wasn't sure about the main memory - my old XDA would lose everything when the battery was low.

Thanks all!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Napfkuchen:
I don`t know what happens if you swap the batteries when the device is on external power - maybe that works.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tnemec:
Does not work - reboots as well...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lost_in_translation:
Windows Mobile does not lose the data on power-loss since version 5. Devices up to WM2003SE held data in Ram and lost all settings and data when the battery was empty.

Some devices had a small auxilliary battery which held the data when the battery was empty.

Have fun!

Ok, so basically transition are smoother. Camera might be better and less noisy of my experience, i have to test some more. Need more time for battery test. Heating is no issue, i live in Kuwait btw. Performance test on geekbench seems less than before, need more testing. Will test games further today and let you all know. Selfie for me are much better and less noise (would have shared but I'm ugly af). Anything you guys need to know??
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
WOHOOOO!!!! Finally :D

Can you test it and report on what improvements you noticed?

I am using Dr. Ketan's ROM and I'm now waiting for his updated version so I can test as well :D
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
All's well! No issues so far..stable as AUBB update earlier this month.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
How's the camera, are there any noticeable improvements or you didn't have the chance to deep-test yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Just checked. I got it too. Quite a large one! I've started the download. Did you update yet? Notice anything different or new?

Thanks for the heads up BTW
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] GoldPunch:
Not available yet for Turkey
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
The apps generally open faster...the camera seems to have some added feature that I need to test..otherwise all good.

Updated 4 hours ago,

Now getting camera error, overheating and lags (certainly due to ovrrheating).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PhilMorin:
From what I read I think you should be able to use the 3x lens in portrait mode now. Can you confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ionutdicu:
you definitely must wipe cache at least, or reset the phone, since obviously you have some kind of conflicts in software; update is very ok
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Bryandu13:
Maybe, but i don't know how to start in recovery on this phone.

And now overheating is gone but camera is working only when i start in safety mode.

only thing i noticed - the weather app - has some mix of old icons and new (?) cartoonish icons in the city list - looks like its been made in word art - 94 edition - i really dk why they cant give the stock weather app more love?!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mattlcfc:
Updated..seems fine
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
@Berserker900 Sad to see you go man. Enjoy your OnePlus 9 Pro.

But do let us know how the experience is on the other side. You've used the S21U extensively and have been an active member of this community ever since I joined. Your take on the differnce between these two phones will be quite valuable.

Also curious as to what exactly made you pull the trigger on the swap.

Would love you hear your thoughts (once the rabid excitement of the upgrade has died down, that is :P)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Hello everyone.

So the last couple of days i have gone silent as i have opted to buy the oneplus 9 pro and sell my s21ultra.

I would like to share my experience here:

First of all, the design:

I know it's mostly subjective to your taste but oh boy how light and slim that phone was. Once you use it, you appreciate the light weight of a device you hold for hours in a day. I got the the matte black which was so sleek and smooth.

Design 9/10

OS and user interface:

Well, oxygen is definitely clean and nice, Google is embedded in it so greatly everything just syncs effortlessly. Notifications are instant which iwas struggling with using the s21u. User interface is pretty straight forward, nothing fancy or complicated.

7/10

Camera:

Hahahah, that's the tought part. Unfortunately all photos i took had a family member so I'm terribly sorry i won't be sharing. But hopefully you trust my words.

Camera is cool, it fast and when it hits, it gives great photos.

But how is it compared to the s21u....

It can't be compared, the s21u is way a head definitely.

I got some hideous photos out of that thing and it takes sooo much time to recognize the object in front unlike Samsung which has it for years now.

Camera 6/10 could get higher over time. I included one photo at the gym ( the most place i spend time in) so much noise.

Smoothness and usability:

Imma get straight to the point, scrolling sucked.

Oh man it was so laggy and annoying, i would literally have my fingers cramped of swiping.

It can't be compared to the s21u in anyway.

Usability is basic, boring at times, i prefer the versatility you get out of the s21u, definitely much more enhanced and full of features, some you might not use but you still have it.

Smoothness 7/10

Battery: 8.5/10

Performance: 9.5/10

Heating: much better than the s21u

Final verdict:

The biggest issue with oneplus is the weak support they have in global market. I had the Indian variant and it had no support for 5g nor volte which is awful.

Samsung is already occupying the market, it ahs support everywhere, the phone out of the box is supported in all carriers.

Oneplus 9pro was definitely a nice phone but will it take over the s21u, nope, not this year.

I have returned the op9pro and got my s21u back.

I loved how fast the SD was and benchmarks were crazy but at the end i need a phone to make my life easier.

Hope i covered the important parts. Let me know please.

Enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Ahaha, you noticed.

Lol i posted the pics then figured out it wasn't needed, better do it at once.

Thank you for the kind words. 🙏
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Battery life sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] DoobyDroid:
I too nearly opted for 1+9pro over 21 ultra but then woke up to the fact that after 6 months like all previous generations they get forgot about when a new oneplus is on the horizon and updates dry up and become practically non existing , enjoy
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Agreed and thank you ☺️.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Joloxx9:
I just updated my contract with EE and took S21 Ultra over Oneplus 9 pro, happy with that.

Can you tell me, does S21 Ultra from EE run same firmware etc. like unlocked EU version bought directly from Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Good choice my friend, you won't be disappointed at all.

Just don't compare just enjoy the beast.

EE is UK version? If yes then yeah we share the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Joloxx9:
I will be, to be hoenst I was tired of OP, bugs, bad battery, terrible camera and lack of proper support, plus I thing I do not longer enjoy all that hassle required for root etc, specially now when we have vanced youtube, easyvpn etc.

Regarding EE, do not know but I think their phone is only sim locked but not "branded" like they do it in US, I will try to ask them but I guess they will not even know what they are selling :E
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
A good unbiased review, thanks.

I had a OnePlus 8 Pro for a couple of months, that thing was good, even had dual sim full USA capabilities which the current model doesnt here. Only thing that let it down was a slight green tint, but that was slightly forgivable due to its price range. However now the OnePlus has gone in bed with the devil, there's no way Im spending over 4 digits on a their flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
It's illegal now here in the UK for providers to sim lock pay monthly phones purchased on a contract. Despite the EE branding, it will be unlocked to other networks. I've confirmed this with my Voda S21 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Wow, I totally forgot about it :)

Well, it is even better for me in this case, as I might use different card abroad (when I go it is other matter).

So far S21 Ultra is really, really good, battery life better than with OP 7 Pro, it gets a bit more hot near CPU, but anyway CPU is so powerful. Photos are so, so beautiful! Sound on the earphones surprisingly is much better comparing to Op 7 pro with viper lol, stereo is great as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Thank you, appreciate it.

Altho I'm sad that i have also opted to give away my s21u for several reasons.

It was a great device and fun to use.

But i had sent it back and went for other options as i like to keep testing different devices.

I might open a YT channel and really be upfront about everything i face.

Thank you and enjoy the beast.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
So what phone did you get now?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
It's more of what phones did j get... Lol

Well, the painful truth is. The s21ultra has lost so much value here where i live in so little time.

Also i faced difficulties with it and i had mixed feelings about it.

I sold it ofc for less than expected in only a month of release which is unfortunate.

Anyhow, i went with the Mi 11 and op8pro for now. Can you imagine that with selling one phone u get 2 great phones.

So yeah, i will be testing these 2 but most probably will give up the op8pro, i hate the display so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Guys check this recording of a dark room.

The noise is just on a different lvl lol, is this normal?

I didn't start recording, this was taking from the view page.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tim84us:
night video is always bad on all phones - so thats quite normal
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
yeah i figured out it was on auto whihc made things worse.

but yeah night mode still ****.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Zooming has improved quite much altho 10× is still garbage and soft.

100× is definitely readable now.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
I can confirm one thing.."camerservice_worker" wake lock is more persistent in this update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] miyuru4u:
Camera quality is good now. Seems more snappier than before.standby battery is worse but need few days to see actuall difference
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Battery is way worse for me tbh.

I used to get 5 sot now i get 3 sot max 4 which garbage.

Also gaming is a bit worse? Fps is dropping regularly.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
What a **** Update. Battery is worse (standby and when using), camera is worse (night mode pics are HORRIBLE) and overall not as smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
I've blocked the update service with Netguard until people can provide more information. I'm more than happy with the March update for the time being.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
That is worrying, although 5 hours is still bad. I've never had less than 7 and I've had as much as 9. Definitely avoiding this update until people can provide more details after using it for a week or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Bidyadhar:
For me the latest update has been amazing..Wqhd+120hz
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eldrid:
It should already be available in the UK. in software info check your service provider software version if it is not BTU then you have a carrier branded device which means even though it may be an unlocked device you will need to wait for your specific carrier to release the update. I am in the same situation as it looks like I have a Vodafone device and will need to wait for them to release the update.

Just bought the phone yesterday updated to latest version - then factory reset - then new setup , these are the day 1 results ,

Aod always on , OK google command always on , wqhd 120 hz ,

It will average at around 6 h + which is not bad imo.

My phone is also pretty new , it will settle down and the results might be better in coming days
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] :
After a big update it usually takes a few days for battery to settle.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
This.

Before i charged the phone eeached 19% and had 4+ sot.

I have 2 sims on, one 5g but both active. Volte. Bluetooth...dunno tbh, maybe i use the phone alot.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
The answer to your battery drain is in your post "I have 2 sims on, one 5g but both active. Volte. Bluetooth"...here's an experiment - remove disable 1 sim, disable 5G indoors (there's no use indoors anyways) and check your battery usage..it should improve reasonably..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eldrid:
I assume his usage patterns would be similar to before the update. I don't think he's asking about what he can do to improve battery life but pointing out that it's a bit lower after the update with similar use.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Aah...I see..then it would be better to see the usage pattern over the week.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
For you to get better video quality at night, make sure to use 4K at 30fps. If the camera is at 60 fps the shutter speed is doubled which means it makes a lot less light in. To compensate, the phone increases the ISO and that creates that ugly noise.

Try it and thank me later. ;)

did u update yet?

is it the same case using FHD 30 ?

thank YOU.

i will try what u said. took the 2nd sim out but i cant let 5g go its so much fast and more stable than lte here.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eldrid:
Naah man still waiting for Vodafone to release it here in the UK I see it is already up on sammobile so looks like it will roll out OTA any time now.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Where are you from?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Syrian living in Kuwait.

Kuwait is fully covered by 5g now and it is super fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Wow ,

India is fully covered with 4g

But as soon as you turn a lane , phone shows 3g and as soon as you enter your house it shows 2g ,

Haha just kidding 😄😄

We do have 4g but , the speeds are like 10 mbps .

But we do have a very good optic fiber broadband at dirt cheap prices. ( 10 usd for 200 mbps unlimited data for 1 month)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Honestly, I haven't really experienced true 4g speeds in India regardless of the state or network. They all seem like rebranded 3g. Can't comment about broadband...never applied for one. But as the other user said 5g is an experience in itself. I ran speed test the other day and the numbers were crazy 2200 mbps download and 1754 upload...I'm yet to see a broadband service that comes to this close. I tried the test over and over just to see the numbers over and over again...it was fun until I realised my battery was losing numbers faster... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Those speeds are crazy 😀
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Lool.

Here it's pretty expensive especially carrier commitment and stuff, they charge alot.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
My only gripe with stock rom since beginning has been the rubbish NLPwakelock and NLPwakelock_collector as reported by BBS. I don't know how to get rid of this garbage wake lock. I'm thinking it's to do with VoLTE
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Enjoy brotha!

I don't know about FULL HD as it makes no sense to record FHD at 30 fps to me on the s21 ultra. But logically it should be fine as well...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] GoldPunch:
Hmmm there is not as much improvement as I want, but it is okay except ultrawide camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Is it me or is the SD version a bit less jerk resistant..i.e. the OIS isn't that smooth as compared to the Exynos one. I see several spots where the video gets choppy when moving on the SD version whilst it's much more smoother on the exynos. Yes, the night video is much more brighter (almost a over exposed) on the SD but I think the exynos version gives the feeling that it's a night time video.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
yeah, i prefer SD tbh and can not wait for them to update E.

its not that low light matters to me but i dont wanna be missing anything.
