Thought i should let you know that WE HAVE a WORKING METHOD for flashing APPROVED firmwares listed on Firmware Finder! :cool:

PLEASE, READ the OP + HOW TO 3 times before proceeding, so that way we avoid unpleasant flash situations, like those when users flashed P30 Pro firmwares on P30 devices or vice versa :eek:

WE CAN USE ONLY APPROVED FullOTA.zip firmwares using links from Firmware Finder (Android version / DESKTOP version). It will work 100% if you will follow the instructions bellow to the letter!​

BE ADVISED!
A.
Keep in mind that you are going to flash a newer version that maybe is not yet released for your region and could result in having to Factory Reset your phone. Also it’s possible that the firmware will not pass Safety Net Test! and therefore some apps could stop working or not appear as available for installing on Google Play! It’s safer to flash a newer version ONLY after you’ve read that someone else has received it by OTA in the same or different country OR I update OP with that info. Always BACKUP before proceeding!
B. The method described bellow is intended to be used on updating on LOCKED BOOTLOADER by using Huawei HiSuite alongside a great app created by @IProfessor, the dev who coded HISuite Proxy to be used on Huawei devices – THANKS to @IProfessor for your excellent app & to @nomone for letting me know about this release.

I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead Huawei NM cards or any other problems that can appear if you flashed wrong versions!!!

Latest VOG-L09 C431, VOG-L29 C431 & VOG-L29 C432 firmware link is for v10.1.0.179, added on 05.11.2020.

HOW TO FLASH for VOG devices :
1
. Download and use ONLY this version from my Gdrive, HiSuite_10.0.1.100_OVE ;
2. Download and unzip HISuite Proxy.
3. Open HISuite Proxy Application & click on "SETUP" button; after all "SETUP" process is done, check in Huawei HiSuite settings if the SETUP wrote the proxy configuration like Proxy Adress 127.0.0.1 and Port 7777, then proceed to next step;
4. Use the link corresponding to your cust as following:

Thanks man for spreading the app, I'm really glad to see it working and helping people out, I'll try to update it regularly hoping for better and easier features. (I've already fixed the patching method, which was confusing a lot of people lol, it was like that because I didn't want the app to run as admin, as that's really dangerous and might bring concerns for people, now it runs as admin only for milliseconds when it wants to replace the patched httpcomponent.dll with original one... Version 1.7.5)

Cheers ?

Thanks for letting me know, i will update OP. Your newest version, v1.7.5 is allready linked on my OP.

Thanks again for this GREAT APP and for the chance you've given to us, P30 / P30 Pro users who had no way of updating using OTA firmware untill these days, when you created the app.

Keep on doing great things, m8!

Hi guys,

I thought i should let you know that WE HAVE a WORKING METHOD for flashing FullOTA's zip from Firmware Finder! :cool:

This thread is
UNDER CONSTRUCTION :p and will be updated with SS and FullOTA.zip base package link
as soon as the firmware will be available on Firmware Finder.


You can download anyAPPROVED FullOTA update.zip from Firmware Finder (Android version / ON-Line version or PC version) and flash it on your device. Currently it works 100% if you follow the instructions bellow to the letter ! ! !

BE AWARE !
A. Keep in mind that you are going to flash a newer version that maybe is not yet released for your region and could result in having to reset your phone or an unstable system. Also it’s possible that the firmware might not be verified yet by Google (won’t pass the Google certification, so you will not be able to install Netflix or other apps that requires to be Google certified) and therefore some apps could stop working or not appear as available for installing. Most of the time it’s safe to flash a newer version after you’ve read that someone has received it by OTA in the same or different country. When i tested on EMUI 10 with firmware v10.0.0.208 no wipe was done. I was coming from EMUI 10 v10.0.0.195, but this is no insurance that it will never wipe your phone, so backup always before proceeding ! ! !
B. The method described bellow is intended to be used on updating from EMUI 10 to EMUI 10.1 on LOCKED BOOTLOADER by using HiSuite from Huawei and one app created by @IProfessor, the dev who coded HISuite Proxy to be used on Huawei devices – THANKS to @IProfessor for your excellent app & to @nomone for letting me know about this update method.
C. Firmwares links are the ones got from Firmware Finder and are OFFICIAL FullOTA’s base packages, CUST & PRELOAD zips. Flash ONLY APPROVED FOR YOUR DEVICE FIRMWARES, otherwise it will not succeed and might get softbricked !

IMPORTANT: In order to update ON THE SAME ANDROID version and not performing an upgrade like EMUI 10 to EMUI 10.1, you only need to use Package URL (FullOTA update zip / base zip) on step 5 + 6 and only "Point Version" ticked, no need to use CUST & PRELOAD!

HOW TO USE

1. Download and Install Hisuite ;
2. Download and unzip HISuite Proxy ;
3. Open HISuite Proxy Application. Click on "HTTP Component" button. Choose "httpcomponent.dll" file which exists in HiSuite's folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\HiSuite and then choose a new folder to save the patched file inside it to replace it later or replace the old file with the new patched "httpcomponent.dll" when asked where to put the patched one;
4. Open HiSuite, go into the settings and set the proxy address to 127.0.0.1 and port 7777, then close it (even from Taskbar);
5. OPEN HIsuite Proxy app and use the following links ON it:
Package URL (FullOTA update zip / base zip) – LINK NOT YET AVAILABLE! WILL BE UPDATED!
CUST PKG URL – VOG-L29-CUST 10.0.0.19(C431)
Preloaded PKG URL - VOG-L29-PRELOAD 10.0.0.5(C431R2)
6. Then on the right side, in the case before "Point Version" you have to thick all 3 of them after you wrote as bellow :
Package – Build number NOT YET AVAILABLE! WILL BE UPDATED!
CUST PKG - VOG-L29-CUST 10.0.0.19(C431)
Preloaded PKG - VOG-L29-PRELOAD 10.0.0.5(C431R2)
7. Check Normal OS, CUST PKG, Preloaded PKG.
8. OPEN HiSuite, connect it to your phone (be sure that HiSuite Proxy remains OPENED ALL THE PROCESS) and check for an update. You will be prompted to update to latest available. Hit OK and let HiSuite download and install the update. After succesfull update, phone will restart and you can close HiSuite Proxy app.

That’s all, folks! Right now you should have updated to latest APPROVED FIRMWARE available for your device !!!

Goodluck flashing ! ! !
Great guide mate :angel: thanks :mad:

Can I try version 208, 210 ...?
Thanks
YES, any firmware that says it's approved for your IMEI on Firmware Finder (use mobile version and on Settings choose Show only Full OTA; then on web version check that one that has the same build&release date as yours)

Ex. To be written in right case and thick ''Point Version'' VOG-LGRP2-OVS 10.0.0.208
To be written in Package URL http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G4705/g1755/v408687/f1/full/changelog_base.xml
Then follow step 8 and wait for download and install. But be aware, it might get you uncertified in Google Playstore ;)

Yes. If you're already on Emui 10 no need to use cust and preload. Also, as SilviuO said, pay attention at SafetyNet. Even if the firmware is approved, it's not sure the firmware will pass it :eek:
@SilviuO I think 10.1 cust and preload will released. Or maybe they will remain the same and in this case I think it's not needed to use them again for the update :D

I thought about it, but without base firmware, i can't make any tests :(.

When it will be available, i will ask users that are on EMUI 10 v195 to update ONLY using base firmware. If it's OK, i will update OP and wait for EMUI 11 to add cust&preload ???

YES, any firmware that says it's approved for your IMEI on Firmware Finder (use mobile version and on Settings choose Show only Full OTA; then on web version check that one that has the same build&release date as yours)

Ex. v10.0.0.206 is approved for installing for ELE-LGRP2-OVS. To be written for your device in right case and thick ''Point Version'' ELE-LGRP2-OVS 10.0.0.206
To be written in Package URL http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G4830/g1755/v409552/f1/full/changelog_base.xml

So, if I use for example build 206 which is made for Middle East C185 and force it in Husuite and flash on my current build 195 for EU region C432 what it may cause... Is my build number stay correct? Because on earlier models from experience if you flash wrong build no it triggered to change oeminfo from lets say c432 to c900 and stuck on that version and made big issues...

Ok, so if use other firmware from other cust WITHOUT CUST&PRELOAD, only FullOTA.zip, it will not change your cust, it will remain the same, it will flash without any issuses (need ONLY to be approved) BUT your firmware will be not certified by Google, so you will not pass the Safety Net check.

Ok, so its important to escape flashing Cust i Preload if I want to try builds for other region, right? If I try to flash cust i preload for different region it can cause issues or it can not be flashed?

YES, and i think - untill further tests and when the FullOTA.zip will be available - that we might not need the cust&preload files to update to EMUI 10.1, because it uses the same files it used when updating from EMUI 9.1 to EMUI 10....But i will clarify that when the link will be available and do some tests ?

If you flash cust and preload from other custs (let's say C636 CUST&PRELOAD over C431 cust), you will get a software rebrand and you will change your actual cust to C636, BUT you will not receive OTA's anymore and in case of warranty it will not be valid. In order to get back to your original cust (if you moved to C636), you will need to flash ONLY C431 CUST&PRELOAD using HISuite Proxy, but i don't reccomend messing with cust :)

does not appear certified or not certified. But in the Netflix search engine it does not appear, presumably it is not certified. Only not appear because the previous one was.
Thank you
