Hello,

I'm talking to the XDA community that I've been following for quite some time in research to find a way to unlock my bootloader.
So I've already browsed pages and pages, and I've already seen the different techniques proposed here, but I have a difference that most users seem to lack.
I have a Huawei P20 Lite AXE-LX2 phone, while the majority of people here seem to have an LX1. It is of Chinese origin, under its name Nova E3. It is currently in version EMUI 9.1.0.353(C636E4R1P5) with a security patch of July 2020.

Coming back to the bootloader, I want to unlock it by the Telegram channel or DC-Unlocker, so I need to dowgrade to an specific EMUI 8 version.

Except that I already have the EMUI 8 stocks for my device, but none for EMUI 9. On androidhost.ru, I only found an EMUI 9 archive for AXE-LX2 (https://androidhost.ru/2CNs) by a guy who runs a site called ministryofsolutions.com . By downloading it, the content is protected by a password. So I sent an email to the guy, who told me that the archive was private and not for the public, so I'll never get the password (he runs a real small business in his country).

So I'm blocked at the first step because I don't have any EMUI 9 stock for my AXE-LX2. androidhost.ru only has stocks for AXE-LX1, so those on LX2 or LX3 are literally blocked.
When I tried other sites to find firmwares, I find myself with an archive full of drivers and softwares to install, not at all in the form of the dload folder to put on an SD card.
I also found this old XDA post: https://xdaforums.com/t/ane-lx2-9-1-0-133-c605.3944407/ , but the same, not as a stock to install from an SD card, so I don't know how to do that at all (I put in screenshot the content of the two archives of the post).

Should I take the risk to install a stock AXE-LX1? Or could someone please give me an EMUI 9 stock corresponding to my model?

Thank you

I specify that I must first downgrade to an older version of EMUI 9 because HiSuite, whether in Chinese or English version, does not offer me the possibility to downgrade with my current version.

After several hours of research, I managed to find a free stock ROM for AXE-LX2 at this address :
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261804346

The installation was perfect, and I found myself with an old version of EMUI 9.1 of at least two years old I think. Unfortunately, HiSuite, Chinese version or not, didn't offer me to downgrade my version, probably still too recent, or I arrived too late. If someone has another solution to propose me, please let me know in reply.

In case the file is down, I can upload it to another service.

Otherwise to get AXE-LX2 EMUI 8 stocks, there are two of them I know of for free on androidhost.ru.
